When the auspicious time comes, the bride and groom enter the wedding hall, and sit on the main seat in the high hall, full of smiles.

Xia Songshao, who was wearing a wedding dress, faded away from gentleness and elegance, became more dazzling and handsome, and became more and more handsome.

The wedding banquet went very smoothly and ended quickly, the bride and groom entered the cave room, and the guests ate the wedding banquet and drank the wedding wine, which was lively and lively.

At the end of the wedding banquet, Ni Chuhe and Wu Yuechen left with the flow of people.

The next day, when he slept until dawn, Ni Chuhe received a message from Xia Songshao and invited her to dinner at the very famous Bide Building in Yangzhou at noon.

Seeing Xia Songshao again, Ni Chuhe quipped, "The groom is not at home to accompany his wife, how can he be willing to invite someone to dinner?" ”

Xia Songshao shook his head and smiled, "Thinking that you are about to leave, why should I invite you to a meal before you leave, and I can't neglect the guests, especially the friends who come from afar." ”

Just rushed to the word "friend", Ni Chuhe also sincerely regarded him as a good friend, raised his glass to salute him, "I wish Brother Xia and his sister-in-law to grow old together and be united forever." ”

Xia Songshao accepted the glass of wine with a smile, and the two drank it together.

The wine glass was put down, and Xia Songshao's smile faded, "I accept Achu's blessing and am grateful, but this white-headed old man is easier said than done." ”

Looking at his not too happy appearance, Ni Chuhe didn't know why, "Brother Xia, what does this mean?" ”

Xia Songshao drank another glass of wine and sighed, "People like me, even if they marry a wife, they will never be able to give her happiness, I can give her a name, I can make her pregnant with the heir of the Xia family, but I can't accompany her all the time, after all, I will be indebted." ”

His words took Nichuhe by surprise.

I didn't expect Xia Songshao to have such feelings.

"Does Achu know my original wife?" Xia Songshao mentioned his original wife, and couldn't help but be gloomy, "I was originally a childhood sweetheart with her, and I had a very good relationship, because the two families were in-laws, and they naturally became relatives when they grew up."

After marriage, I am happy, my wife is virtuous and gentle, she keeps the house in order, my parents are healthy, I have no worries, and I can rest assured that I am running outside.

Until her health deteriorated day by day, and by the time I knew it, she was terminally ill, and when she returned home, she saw only one last sight, and she left me, leaving not even a son and a daughter.

I didn't want to marry again, but as the eldest son, I couldn't live without an heir, so my family told me about this and this family business.

The Cao family is powerful in Jiangnan, it is an imperial businessman, relying on the emperor behind it, occupying more than half of the business in Jiangnan, and marrying the Cao family can avoid many obstacles and bring advantages to the family business.

I also only fought for Hui Niang for three years not to marry, before welcoming the Cao daughter into the family, said that I am handy in business, but in the marriage of half of the master, for the family had to retreat, and even destined to let down my new wife, can not accompany her, maybe she will end up with the same ending as Hui Niang, how can I rest assured? ”

As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine.

For the first time, Nichuhe heard him complain of his suffering, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

It is difficult to do both things in the world, and everyone has their own sufferings.

"There are thousands of unsatisfactory things in the world, and it is most important to cherish the present." That's all she has to say.

Xia Songshao's eyes were bright, looking at her, slightly hooking the corners of his lips, "Speaking of which, I don't understand why Achu wants to dress up as a man, could it be that she has never thought of getting married?" ”

Ni Chuhe was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Why does a woman have to marry?" ”

Seeing his stunned expression, Ni Chuhe chuckled, "Everyone always has what they want to do, maybe I don't think it's enough to get married, it's only happy to do business, at least rely on yourself to support yourself, you don't have to compromise and seek perfection, you live for others all your life, and your joys, sorrows and sorrows are all for others." ”

Xia Songshao fell into deep thought, and after a while, he laughed, "Acchu's mind is always different from others, maybe a woman like you can live better." ”

The two of them didn't talk about it anymore and drank silently for a while.

When leaving, Xia Songshao instructed her, "If you need anything, you can find a money shopkeeper, I am not there, he can always help you." ”

Nichuhe nodded, and suddenly asked, "Why are you helping me so much?" I have no relatives with you for no reason. ”

Xia Songshao pondered for a moment and smiled, "Maybe I want to take you for my own use, I have always been very accurate in looking at people." ”

Such a sentence was beyond Nichuhe's expectations, and she soon laughed along.

It's really a funny joke.

She didn't feel that she had something worth putting so much effort on, especially someone like Xia Songshao, who was a businessman, not a gambler, and was much more capable than her.

However, it doesn't matter what he is, how can there be so many whys in life?

Maybe it's just a whim, just a whim, and she just accepts it.

Early the next morning, Ni Chuhe and Wu Yuechen left Yangzhou and returned to Quanzhou.

Kangxi, who was on a southern tour, also began to return to Beijing by water.

On the way back, everyone's mood was a little heavy, because it was not easy to return to Beijing this time.

Although I don't know what it will be, the increasingly heavy atmosphere has already made everyone feel uplifted.

They all knew that it must be related to the crown prince, otherwise, Huang Ama's face would not be so gloomy.

Even if he is as calm as the fourth master, he can't help but feel worried, and at the same time, something is quietly growing in his heart.

It is that people have desires, especially if they are so close to that seat and have such a foreshadowing of the future.

If he had only guessed before, he would have believed it, but now his heart is a little firmer.

The thirteenth elder brother walked up behind him, "Fourth brother, what are you thinking?" ”

The fourth master came back to his senses and asked, "Where is Huang Ama?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother said in a casual tone, "Huang Ama is still alone in the room, and the eldest brother can't get in, so he can only guard outside." ”

He looked at the overcast sky and sighed, "It's going to change." He turned his head and asked him, "Fourth brother, what do you think will happen when we go back this time?" ”

The fourth master's expression was faint, "I hope the situation is better than we thought." ”

"But I listened to the eldest brother's words," the thirteenth elder brother paused, but still continued, "That one is a little dissatisfied, and it seems that he is about to make a move." ”

The fourth master turned his head to look at him for a moment, met the clear but increasingly determined gaze, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Thirteenth brother, there are some things that don't matter, it's not for you and me to manage, let's just do what we need to do."

I have done too much, maybe it's all wrong, look at it with peace of mind, follow our Huang Ama, and experience the mood of Huang Ama. ”

The thirteenth elder brother nodded as if he didn't understand, "Fourth brother, I know." ”

After a while, the thirteenth elder brother asked again, "Fourth brother, is that woman ...... looks like Guerjia side Fujin, is there really such a similar person in the world? ”

He looked at the fourth brother's expression, a little puzzled, the fourth brother left like this, did he really care?

A trace of trance flashed in the fourth master's eyes, and he immediately shook his head, "Maybe there really is." ”

The thirteenth elder brother was silent for a moment, "Fourth brother, in fact, you can take her back to the capital, be a concubine, be a good person, it's better than watching Fang Fujin unconscious, the eldest brother has accepted a woman sent by the Cao family, and Huang Ama won't say anything." ”
