In a blink of an eye, it was winter, and the time for the house to be busy preparing New Year's goods had come again, and Xia Chuanyuan had a few days of free time these days, so he often went to the streets to wander around and buy some strange things to entertain himself.

On this day, Xia Chuanyuan went out with Xiao Liuzi after breakfast, ready to buy a game of Zhenlong Go and come back to play against others, the coachman parked the carriage in front of the shop that sold Go, and Xiao Liuzi helped Xia Chuanyuan get out of the carriage.

The two were about to enter the shop when they heard a commotion in front of them, and a man in a Taoist robe ran ahead, followed by several strong young men with sticks.

When Xiao Liuzi saw the visitor, he immediately said, "Master, isn't this the Wuji Dao Master in our house?" Why is he here? ”

When Xia Chuanyuan heard this, he hurriedly fixed his eyes and looked at it, and sure enough, that person was Wuji.

Wuji also saw Xia Chuanyuan, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly ran forward and grabbed Xia Chuanyuan's sleeve, crying and shouting: "Master, Prime Minister, help." ”

Xia Chuanyuan frowned, and quietly shook off Wuji's hand, he respected Wuji because Wuji was a master of Taoism, but now this Wuji image was gone, and he didn't have the appearance of a Taoist at all, Xia Chuanyuan naturally wouldn't be happy in his heart.

Wuji didn't care about Xia Chuanyuan's reaction, and hurriedly hid behind Xia Chuanyuan.

Those few people ran forward, and when they saw Wuji hiding behind Xia Chuanyuan, one of them reached out to stop the few people behind him, looked at Xia Chuanyuan provocatively and said, "What's the matter, there is a helper?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan frowned, his body moved to the side, Wuji was scared, and hurriedly moved with Xia Chuanyuan's body.

Xia Chuanyuan coughed twice and said, "Who are you, why did you arrest him for no reason?" ”

The current one listened and smiled disdainfully: "We? We are from Caifang Pavilion, this stinky Taoist priest played with our girl but didn't have any money to give, we want to catch him back. ”

Xia Chuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around randomly and asked, "Dao Chief, ...... you?"

Wuji had a miserable face, he was not a Taoist priest at all, where could he abide by the principle of purity of heart and few desires, but now that he had been discovered by Xia Chuanyuan, he had to let Xia Chuanyuan save him first, and then consult with Xia Zhidu after he returned.

Thinking of this, Wuji hurriedly begged for mercy: "Prime Minister, please lend me a little silver, I can return them and live." ”

Xia Chuanyuan was stunned, looking at Wuji's eyes slightly cold, "You are a cultivator, and you still go to that kind of place, is it possible that you have cheated before?" ”

Wuji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, Lord Prime Minister, Poor Dao is really a cultivator......"

Xia Chuanyuan frowned, waved his hand and said: "That's it, the things you have deceived the original appearance in the past will not care about you, and from now on, don't let the original appearance see you again." ”

As he spoke, Xia Chuanyuan turned around and said, "Let's go home." ”

Wuji saw Xia Chuanyuan get into the carriage, and hurriedly ran forward to stop it, but unexpectedly, several people behind him hurriedly stepped forward and pushed him down, pushed him to the ground and beat him.

On the pavilion not far away, a jade-white hand gently closed the window and said with a smile: "This is the best ending." ”

The person who spoke was Xia Mengning, she was wearing a moon-white double butterfly flower cardigan dress, covered with a pink peony exquisite gardenia coat, and her black hair bun was piled on top of her head, and a few strands fell, showing the softness and charm of her daughter's family.

The eldest grandson Yun who was dressed in white on the opposite side saw it, and couldn't help but reach out to hold her behind her ear, Xia Mengning didn't expect the eldest grandson Yun to have such an intimate action, and couldn't help blushing, and the jade white cheeks were dyed with a few red clouds, which made the eldest grandson Yun look straight in the eyes.

Eldest Sun Yun withdrew his hand, clenched his fist and coughed lightly in his mouth, and said, "Ning'er, after the New Year, you will be done." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, reached out to add tea, and said, "I know." ”

Seeing Xia Mengning's unmoved appearance, Eldest Sun Yun couldn't help but say again: "Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged again, and when you get to the palace, I will protect you well." ”

Xia Mengning raised her head, looked at Eldest Sun Yun, and chuckled, "I know, I'm not worried, with you, I don't worry about anything." ”

As soon as the Spring Festival passes, it is the auspicious day chosen by the emperor, and the Ge family who should be prepared has been prepared for Xia Mengning, and Xia Chuanyuan has also prepared a dowry of one hundred and twenty lifts for Xia Mengning, which is a lot, but the eldest grandson Yun frowned, and personally added a lot, which is enough for two hundred and forty lifts, plus the emperor and queen and many people in the court who came to tie the knot, Xia Mengning's dowry until the day of her marriage was paved for ten miles, and it was really enough for three hundred and sixty lifts, comparable to the princess's marriage ceremony.

Before dawn, the bamboo branch garden was full of people, all of them were some official wives who were invited to dress Xia Mengning, Ge Shi stood behind Xia Mengning in water-red clothes, and looked at Mrs. Shangshu Liu was putting Xia Mengning in a bun, Ge's eyes couldn't help but be red, and he hurriedly ran to the side and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

When several official wives saw it, they all said: "When my daughter gets married, it is my mother's heart that is involved, and Mrs. Mei is also uncomfortable." ”

Xia Mengning saw Ge's movements from the mirror, and couldn't help but feel a tug in her heart, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and seeing that tears were about to flow out, Liu Shi behind her hurriedly reached out and took a handkerchief to Xia Mengning to remove tears, and said softly: "The bride can't cry, otherwise, it will drive your mother's emotions even more." ”

When Xia Mengning heard this, she held back her tears, blinked her eyes and forced the tears back, and said with a smile: "Madam, thank you." ”

Liu looked at Xia Meng's flower-like face in the mirror, and couldn't help but redden, "I can still remember what Han'er looked like on the day she got married, my daughter, that day was also very beautiful......"

Liu thought about it, and couldn't help but reach out and nod the corner of his eye, but at this time, Xia Mengning turned around, looked at Liu and said: "Madam, Han'er is my friend, even if she has gone, but our friendship is still there, if Madam doesn't dislike it, I will be your daughter in the future, and I will honor you for Han'er in the future." ”

Liu never expected Xia Mengning to say such a thing, she was stunned, and after a while, she reacted, "You ......"

At this time, Ge Shi, who had just finished finishing his makeup, walked over, held Liu's hand and said: "Yes, I also like this girl Han'er, she and Ning'er are friends, Mrs. Liu, if you think you have nothing to do in the future, you can also come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me, I take Kang'er alone, and it's always boring." ”

Ge Shi said, pushed Xia Zhikang forward, and said with a smile: "Kang'er, this is your Aunt Liu, called Aunt Liu." ”

Xia Zhikang is more than two years old, because today is Xia Mengning's big day, Xia Zhikang also changed into a dark red short coat, he was born with a tiger head and tiger brain, and his round and bulging cheeks are very cute, he is very obedient, walking a few steps with short legs and 'kicking' to Liu's side, pulling Liu's skirt and raising his little face and shouting milkily, "Aunt Liu, I am Kang'er." ”

With this lovely appearance, Liu's heart was about to melt, she hurriedly squatted down, reached out and hugged Xia Zhikang in her arms, and kept shouting, "Hey, hey...... Kang'er ...... Kang'er ......"

Ge Shi was relieved to see it, she was kind in nature, and naturally knew the pain of Liu's loss of her daughter.

Liu hugged Xia Zhikang for a while, then hurriedly looked left and right, reached out and took off a gold inlaid Yingluo collar from his neck and handed it to Xia Zhikang, "Do you like it, Aunt Liu gave it to you." ”

Xia Zhikang blinked his eyes wide, turned his head to look at Ge Shi, Ge Shi shook his head, "Don't give him such a valuable thing, the child's family will break it." ”

Liu ignored it, "It's not worth a few dollars, play ...... for Kang'er"

Children naturally like colorful things, Xia Zhikang opened his eyes wide, with a deep desire, Ge Shi saw it, squatted down and said: "Kang'er, you can take what Aunt Liu gives you in the future, but you are not allowed to take the initiative to ask Aunt Liu for things, do you know?" ”

Xia Zhikang nodded, took Liu's collar with a happy face, and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt Liu." ”

Liu smiled, tears flowed in her eyes, Xia Mengning took the handkerchief and handed it to her, "Aunt Liu, Han'er, she cares about you very much, you must live well, together with Han'er's share, live together." ”

Liu turned his head to look at Xia Mengning, and then looked at Ge and Xia Zhikang, her heart was moved, Xia Mengning's hard work, Ge Shi's hard work, how could she not see it, Liu Shi thought of this, and felt that there was suddenly strength in her body, she stood up, took a wooden comb and said: "Ning'er is also my daughter, and now that my daughter is married, my mother must comb her daughter with a good-looking bun." ”

Liu combed Xia Mengning's hair bun, and Ge came to personally put on a golden crown for Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning is the princess, this golden crown is made of eighty round east pearls on the crested head, which is extremely gorgeous.

Zhulian and Jiu'er were both standing on the side, Wu Qing also changed into women's clothes, sitting on the side eating snacks and watching, when Xia Mengning turned around, several people were stunned, Wu Qing was even more exaggerated and even forgot to chew the white sugar cake in his mouth, and muttered: "It's so beautiful!" ”

Xia Mengning smiled lightly, and Ge Shi took a plate of snacks from the side and gave it to Xia Mengning, "It's going to be very tiring today, you eat a little mat first, don't be hungry." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, took the snack and ate it slowly, Ge Shi said to Jiu'er and Zhulian uneasily: "You two are Ning'er's personal girls, Ning'er believes in you, and it is better to go to the palace in the future than in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you have to take good care of Ning'er, and tell me immediately if there is anything." ”

Jiu'er and Zhulian both nodded, and when Liu saw it, he also said: "Ning'er, Shangshu Mansion is also your home and your backing." ”

Xia Mengning was moved, looked at Liu gratefully, and his heart was warm.

Xia Chuanyuan was busy greeting guests in the front yard, since the incident of Wuji, Xia Chuanyuan's already silent heart has become even more silent, he stays in Ge's garden every day, and the Wei family doesn't pay attention to it, as for Xia Zhidu, Xia Chuanyuan's heart is even more guilty.

Now Xia Chuanyuan can be said to have passed a thousand sails, only then did he find that the only person who accompanied him for his own good and thought about himself was the Ge family, and all the people who didn't want to fight for power were only his youngest son Xia Zhikang, and the most intimate and capable of all the daughters was Xia Mengning.

Xia Chuanyuan always sighed, hoping that when he understood this fact, it was not too late, although he was nearly forty years old, but the rest of the time, he just wanted to guard his wife and son well, and live a plain life.

After the makeup was finished, it was time to add the box to the boudoir, and the eldest grandson Xinyue was waiting outside, and the first one rushed in.

"Sister Xia......" The eldest grandson Xinyue ran in like a gust of wind, ran to Xia Mengning with her skirt, took a box and handed it to Xia Mengning as if offering a treasure, and said proudly: "Sister Xia, open it quickly and see if you like it." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, stretched out her hand and opened the box, only to see that the box contained a ring carved from jadeite, the green jade body did not have any flaws, the emerald green color exuded a faint and soft halo, Xia Mengning smiled, "Thank you, princess, I like it very much." ”

The eldest grandson Xinyue was very happy when she heard Xia Mengning's words, and said with a smile: "This is the jade and jade that my father gave me to carve for a craftsman, it must be beautiful." ”

The eldest grandson Xinyue said such a thing unconsciously, but he didn't know that the people present looked at Xia Mengning with some envy, and now Xia Mengning's worth can be said to be rising, not only the person who the prince puts on the tip of his heart, but also the big celebrity in front of the emperor now, and now the princess of the new moon is friendly with her, this kind of situation undoubtedly pushes Xia Mengning to the top.

Several ladies of the same age came to add boxes, and after a while, Changsun Yun had already arrived at the door.

Ordinary people get married, and the man has to go to the woman's door to greet him, but the eldest grandson Yun is the prince, although Xia Mengning is the county lord, but the identity is not as valuable as the eldest grandson, it stands to reason that the eldest grandson Yun only needs to send someone to pick it up.

At this time, Xia Mengning had already put on her hijab and was about to go out, but she heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, it was Zhu Lian.

Ge Shi was a little dissatisfied, and said, "Zhulian, what are you doing in a panic?" ”

Zhulian was overjoyed and said, "It's the prince who came, and the prince came to pick up his relatives in person on a horse." ”

Everyone was very surprised when they heard it, they didn't expect that the prince would deign to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up Xia Mengning in person, and everyone was very envious of Xia Mengning.

Ge was also very happy, he was worried that Xia Mengning would be wronged if he married in the past, but now that he saw that the eldest Sun Yun cared about Xia Mengning so much, Ge was also relieved a lot.

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "Miss, the auspicious time has arrived, hurry up and cover your head and go out." ”

Ge and Liu both nodded, Ge reached out and covered Xia Mengning's head, and said, "Okay, Ning'er, let's go." ”

Ge Shi spoke, but he held Xia Mengning's hand tightly, and Yuhuan on the side hurriedly reached out and picked up Xia Zhikang, and grabbed a handful of candy from the side for Xia Zhikang to hold.

Ge Shi held Xia Mengning's hand tightly all the way, Liu followed on the right, Jiu'er and Zhulian also followed behind, and the group walked out together.

The garden outside was already full of red happy characters, and it was a festive red color, Xia Mengning was helped out by Ge and Liu, and heard a voice as warm as jade, "Ning'er." ”

It's Changsun Yun!

Xia Mengning could hear his voice, even if she didn't need internal force or deliberate discrimination, she could hear it at the first time.

Changsun Yun looked at Xia Mengning who was dressed in a phoenix crown, and the red wedding dress was embroidered with gold thread with flying auspicious birds, which skillfully outlined Xia Mengning's delicate figure, Changsun Yun squinted his eyes and looked stunned, he always knew that Xia Mengning was beautiful, but such a gorgeous and compelling Xia Mengning had never been seen before.

Xia Chuanyuan followed the eldest grandson Yun, and he was also very happy in his heart, and the people who followed him were all officials in the court, or people who were good friends with Xia Chuanyuan, and they couldn't wait to step forward and have a good time when they saw this scene.

The eldest grandson Yun wore a red dress with a jade crown and tied her hair, but she looked even more handsome, Ge Shi looked at it, and his heart was also relieved, patted Xia Mengning's hand, and pulled her forward.

Many of the daughters who followed Xia Mengning were envious, it was the wish of most of the daughters in the capital to marry the first beautiful man in the north, not to mention such an infatuated man, the eldest grandson Yunken condescended to Xia Mengning and came to pick up her relatives in person, and even came to her door, this kind of supreme honor must be a good story for future generations.

Ge Shi took Xia Mengning's hand and walked towards Changsun Yun, although he knew that Changsun Yun was the son, Ge Shi still glanced at him and said softly: "Take good care of my daughter......"

Although the voice was soft, Changsun Yun still heard it clearly, he reached out and held Xia Mengning's hand, held it tightly, turned to Ge Shi and Xia Chuanyuan, and said word by word: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please rest assured, the son-in-law will definitely treat Ning'er well, from now on, the son-in-law promises not to marry again, in this life, there is only one wife for Ning'er." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, Xia Mengning didn't expect Changsun Yun to say such a thing, the hand he held shook a little, Changsun Yun noticed it, and then bent solemnly to Xia Chuanyuan and Ge Shi, "In this life, my son-in-law will definitely cherish Ning'er, from now on, Ning'er is my eldest grandson Yun's life, and it is the only woman that my eldest grandson Yun cares about." ”

This loud oath not only moved Xia Chuanyuan and Ge Shi, but Xia Mengning couldn't help but throb in her heart, she didn't expect that Changsun Yun would say such things in front of so many people, she was a little frightened and a little uneasy, but her hand was always held tightly by Changsun Yun, and such a firm strength made her no longer panic and no longer uneasy.

Dong Wanwan stood not far away, looking coldly, she also came to add a box to Xia Mengning today, but she didn't want to step forward to join in the fun, and now seeing Xia Mengning being treated so carefully by the eldest grandson, Dong Wanwan thought of her situation, and her heart became more and more unpleasant.

The sourness in her heart couldn't help it, and Dong Wanwan came out to spoil the scenery, "Let the prince come to pick up the kiss, but the supreme honor, but I don't know where Miss Xia got the blessing, a humble body that is already a concubine, can be created like this, I don't know if God opens his eyes, or doesn't he have long eyes?!" ”
