The eighth day of June.

The foggy season is usually autumn and winter, but somehow, this morning's Ruidu was shrouded in a layer of mist.

Because Xia Honghan was an official in the court, the subordinates of the Xia Mansion had long been accustomed to being busy in the middle of the night, but the grand occasion of the whole government mobilizing from three o'clock in the ugly hour like today has not appeared for at least ten years.

Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the custom of welcoming relatives has changed from welcoming relatives at dusk to welcoming relatives in the morning, how can the family not prepare in advance?

Somewhere in the backyard.

Mrs. Xia's hands held Xia Hanxue's hands tightly and refused to let go for a moment. Her eyes are a little dark, I think I haven't closed my eyes for a long time, but the whole person is in good spirits.

"My Xue'er is also a big girl." With a smile on her face, she looked at her daughter with pity: "The man should get married, and the woman should get married." You are not young, you should also find someone to marry your husband and children, and live the life of an ordinary woman. When you were your age, you were more than a year old. ”

Xia Hanxue smiled softly and nodded vigorously.

Mrs. Xia did not see any hesitation, fear, or discomfort in her calm face. The girl's family is usually shy and sad on the big day of being a bride, but she is extremely calm, as if the bride is not her at all.

The more her daughter is like this, the more uneasy Mrs. Xia becomes. She paused, and then said: "If you marry into the Xu family, you must listen to the arrangements of the Xu family and abide by the rules of others." Whether it is honoring your in-laws or serving your husband, you must do your best, and you must not be sloppy, understand? ”

Xia Hanxue blinked narrowly: "Don't worry, mother, Xue'er is measured." People have lived in the house for so many years, and when it comes to honoring their in-laws and serving their husbands, aren't there ready-made examples in front of them? As long as her daughter can learn fifty percent, she is the second best virtuous helper in the world, who else can pick a bone in the egg? ”

Mrs. Xia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head weakly.

In the past 20 years, she has accompanied the Xia family through ups and downs, not only giving advice to Xia Honghan countless times, but also straightening out various internal and external relationships as a wife, so that the back house maintains a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. Xia Fu praised her from the old man to the subordinates, and no one ever said anything bad about her.

But what about being a good wife? The Xia family is such an only daughter, Xue'er is not just a piece of meat that fell from her body, but also everyone's heart...... Such a child says that sacrifice is sacrifice, what can she, a mother, decide?

Mrs. Xia bit her lower lip lightly and said angrily: "When a girl wants to get married, which one is not crying? It's good for you to make fun of your mother. ”

With that, she looked away slightly. After a while, she looked directly at Xia Hanxue and said, "Then Xu Jiren...... I think you've heard that this person is a bit deviant, and he has failed two women in the matter of getting married. But that's all in the past.

Although the Xu family is not as good as my Xia family, it is kind to the royal family, so Xu Jiren is young and handsome, and he has a promising future after taking the title, so he will not insult my daughter. Marry your husband, don't take what you hear to heart.

Besides, if people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? Even if he is really a gentleman, as long as you can treat him with your heart, it will be a hundred steels that will turn into finger wrapping. In terms of appearance and temperament, my daughter is the best woman in the world, are you afraid that she will not be able to surrender to a prodigal son? ”

As a mother, all she can do is this last admonition.

Xia Hanxue smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry." Xue'er is not a child anymore, if I am really as good as you say, then I shouldn't be able to cross this threshold that many women in the world can cross, right? ”

Mrs. Xia sighed sadly. When she raised her head again, there was a touch of fierceness in her expression: "If Xu Jiren has done too much, you have to find a way to let your mother know." What do people say, 'The daughter who marries out spills the water'...... Oh, who cares about this! Mother will definitely make the decision for you when she arrives, and I believe that the Xu family will not dare to offend the Xia family easily. ”

Xia Hanxue responded obediently. In fact, everyone understands that the help that the Xia family can provide to her is very limited, and the above words are just cheering and bluffing.

The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Xia finally decided to leave. Seeing that she walked to the door, she was extremely reluctant to stop and repeat the main points that Shi Cai had said.

As she spoke, her eyes turned a little red.

The daughter is going to marry a bastard like Xu Jiren. As a mother who couldn't stop this, she had 10,000 reasons to cry bitterly, but she kept her stiff smile until the last moment.

It's not a big deal to cry with your mother when she gets married, nine out of ten brides in the first year are like this, and some people even think that there is a sense of ceremony in the wedding with this process, so it is not ashamed for a woman from a big family like the Xia family to cry.

However, Mrs. Xia knew the grievances in her daughter's heart. Xu Jiren is still second, Xue'er and her Ruyi Langjun were forcibly disassembled, if they can't help her stabilize her emotions on the day of marriage, then it is likely to cause a chain reaction that will affect the overall situation, which the Xia family does not want to see anyway.

Xia Hanxue gently grabbed her mother's arm and said softly: "Mother, Xue'er is all dependent on you." You also have to promise your daughter that after I go, you will take care of your father, and you must not quarrel with him because of this marriage, which will hurt the harmony of the husband and wife. How many people in the family point to their father and mother, and they can't make the family uneasy as soon as Xue'er leaves the Xia family, so that the family members up and down will suffer. ”

Mrs. Xia seemed to be choked by something, and she didn't say anything a few times. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, "I know." It's still early, you can sleep a little longer, and when the mothers-in-law come, you will toss until dawn. Mother go and prepare first, you can rest. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked away without looking back.

After being silent for a while, Xia Hanxue opened her hand and moved her palm, which was held by her mother.

During the days of her confinement, she had dreamed about it countless times in the middle of the night, but it was the soft moonlight that illuminated the courtyard at that time. Now, there was a deliberately muffled shouting everywhere, and the whole house was lit up as if it were day, and even if she was allowed to sleep, she would not be able to sleep.

The light-hearted Lian'er didn't know when she entered the house: "Miss, Steward Xia asked if there was anything else to take away?" If there is any, it should be installed as soon as possible, and there can be no further delay. ”

Xia Hanxue, who was stunned, came back to her senses and said in a low voice: "No." By the way, there's something I want you to help with. ”

Lian'er saw that she was not in a high mood, and she wanted to comfort her like she had done before. But how could the knot in the young lady's heart be so easy to untie?

So, with nothing to do, she had to step forward and wait for orders.

At this time, Xia Hanxue, who had put away her emotions, resolutely took something out of a cabinet and stuffed it into Lian'er's hand......
