Because Yuan Tianye is still only a prince of Beiyan, and Lin Xiaozhu is married as Princess Xuanyuan, in the next forty days, it is natural that Yuan Tianye will return to Beiyan, and Lin Xiaozhu will stay in Xuanyuan City to prepare for marriage. After all, those dowries, wedding dresses and other things, although there are courtesy officials Zhang Luo, but there are many places to make their own ideas, so you can't let the old man worry about it, right? However, Lin Xiaozhu wanted to take her uncle's thoughts together, so she had to leave here for a while and go back to Beiyan.

So that night, Lin Xiaozhu followed the old man's instructions, went to the rented house to pack up his things, and took Yun Shan back to the Xuanyuan Holy Palace, and when the old man showed her the house, he told the old man his idea.

The old man himself is an old man, so he is naturally willing to see young people honoring their elders, so for Lin Xiaozhu's approach, he is twelve points in favor of it, and said: "No matter what, they are all your elders, and they should be invited to your wedding." As for what to prepare, you don't have to worry about it, the dowry has its own etiquette; Wedding dress, aren't the mother and daughter of the Yu family you invited here? Let them embroider a wedding dress for you, and you can spend half a day tomorrow to let them measure it and see the style. In the afternoon, let's go to Beiyan with Yuan Yang's kid. With him with you, I can rest assured. ”

"Yes. At most, I'll be back in half a month. Lin Xiaozhu was grateful to the old man for his reasonableness. Although she and the old man have been together for a while, they don't know each other's temperaments very well. The old man must be a very strict person when he is serious, and he is very principled, otherwise he would not be able to be a Xuanyuan Shengshang. It can be seen from the date of marriage that he is still a person who says the same. They are going to live together in the future, so the old man is reasonable. It is essential for the harmony of the relationship with each other.

Back to your own yard. Lin Xiaozhu thought for a while, called a guard, and ordered: "You go to the Yunlai Inn, find someone named Xia Shan, tell him that I will go to Xiajia Village in the deep mountains with Prince Yi tomorrow, and ask him if he wants to go together." If he wanted to go, he would pack up his things and wait at the inn tomorrow, and leave at about noon. If he doesn't go, he has to trust it. You wait there and let him write the letter and bring it back. ”

Although Xia Shan had taken his family out, he had other relatives there. Since she has gone back. Naturally, I had to ask him.

"Yes." The guards took the order. After a while, he came back and said: "Xia Gongzi said that the store was busy, and his parents were in the South China Sea, so he wouldn't go back." Let the villain bring a letter and fifty taels of silver, saying that the princess will help him bring it to his grandparents. ”

"Okay, let's go down." Lin Xiaozhu handed over the letter and silver to Yun Shan and put it away. Xia Shan didn't go back, and she didn't feel very disappointed about what was expected.

Early the next morning, she personally went to visit the old saint. told Yuzhuo about the wedding dress. Yuzhuo is grateful to Lin Xiaozhu for letting her mother and grandfather untie the knot. And knowing that Lin Xiaozhu was already the princess of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, he agreed without hesitation and measured her. I chose a specification. Lin Xiaozhu returned to the Holy Palace non-stop and discussed the dowry with Zhou Li. In the afternoon of the same day, he set off back to Beiyan with Yuan Tianye.

Four days later, they arrived in Yanjing. Lin Xiaozhu returned to his residence, while Yuan Tianye bathed and changed clothes and entered the palace. He had to go and tell Yuan Zhibai and his wife the news that he was going to get married. The six wedding ceremonies, except for the marriage level, other etiquette must be handled by his parents, and the dowry should also be paid by them. Although Yuan Tianye himself is very rich and rich enough to rival the country, he is not polite at all about what he should ask. If not, those things will go to Yuan Tuo's hands, why should he be polite?

As for Lin Xiaozhu, as a bride to be married, she naturally has no reason to go to her in-laws before marriage.

"Getting married?" When the Queen Mother heard the news, her face was overjoyed. No matter what, the marriage of a son is a happy event after all. Parents are naturally happy. She asked, "Who is the bride?" ”

"Lin Xiaozhu."

"Lin Xiaozhu!" A flash of disappointment flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. Although she is partial to her eldest son, she is also complacent about her younger son, and thinks that her son is excellent in all aspects. Only a noble lady with a noble status can be worthy. However, Yuan Tianye at this time is no longer the Yuan Tianye of the past. His family affairs can't help but let her point fingers.

So she quickly put away this little bit of different color, smiled and nodded: "Yes, married your favorite girl." "Beiyan is now all under Yuan Tianye's control, Yuan Tianye doesn't let the news come in, and the Queen Mother doesn't know anything about Lin Xiaozhu being Princess Xuanyuan.

Yuan Zhibai looked at his son who was sitting in front of them, talking about his marriage, but there was no warmth in his eyes, and his expression was extremely complicated. Think about how deep the son's attachment to them was at the beginning, in front of them, his smile was always bright and warm. But all of this changed because of their mistakes.

"The day of marriage is on the nineteenth of next month, the time is a little tight, and I have to worry about my father and mother." Yuan Tianye said again.

"Nineteen next month?" The Queen Mother was stunned. Shouldn't this day of marriage be decided by their parents? She wanted to blame Yuan Tianye for making his own decisions, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't dare to say a word. When their sons get married, it is enough for them to get married, which is enough to give them face. If she said anything more, she would make her son unhappy and walk away, and in the end she wouldn't even let them attend the wedding, then they would really become the first big joke in the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

Yuan Tianye naturally knew what his mother was thinking. He said lightly: "This day was decided by Xuanyuan Sheng. ”

This time, even Yuan Zhibai was surprised: "Holy Lord? How could the Holy One meddle in your marriage? Is it because of Lin Xiaozhu? "Lin Xiaozhu is the old man's apprentice.

Yuan Tianye still had a faint expression: "That's right, Lin Xiaozhu is the holder of the jade card, the princess of the Xuanyuan Dynasty." He raised his eyes to see his parents' surprised looks, and added, "It always has been." When she was twelve years old, she met the saint in the mountains, and the saint gave her the jade plate. ”

It took a long time for Yuan Zhibai and his wife to close their mouths that were open because of surprise. The expression on his face is even more complicated. The Queen Mother remembered the words she had scolded Lin Xiaozhu, and her heart felt like she had knocked over the spice jar, and she had mixed tastes. The bitter, astringent and regretful feeling stayed on the tip of the tongue for a long time and lingered.

"Lin Xiaozhu will marry in Xuanyuan Holy Palace, so the dowry will be sent to Xuanyuan City." Yuan Tianye said again. As for whether the dowry is rich or not, he doesn't need to say any more. Marrying Princess Xuanyuan as a daughter-in-law, how dare the dowry not be rich?

"Okay, don't worry. Father and mother will definitely handle the marriage properly for you, and it will be lively. Yuan Zhibai has always been sorry for his youngest son. Especially when he knew that Yuan Tuo had set up an ambush and threw Yuan Tianye to the beggars to suffer, the balance in his heart began to completely tilt in favor of his youngest son. Although he hoped that Yuan Tianye would hand over his rights to Yuan Tuo at the beginning, this kind of tragic fratricide was not what he wanted to see. Yuan Tuo's lust for profit made him heartbroken; Yuan Tianye's misery made him heartbroken. So he has always wanted to use various methods to make up for his debt to Yuan Tianye. It's a pity that Yuan Tianye will never kneel down in front of them again, and he doesn't even have a warm look. Now that he is going to get married, he is still married to Princess Xuanyuan, Yuan Zhibai naturally wants to do his best to organize a grand wedding for him. I didn't want to ask for Yuan Tianye's understanding, I just wanted him to feel better in his own heart.

"Then there is the father and the queen mother. I've been in the capital for a while, what's the matter, my father and mother should discuss with Yuan Lin. Yuan Tianye stood up and gave a salute, "The child still has something to do, so I'll leave." ”

"Okay, let's go." Yuan Zhibai said. Seeing his son's tall figure disappear at the gate of the palace, the husband and wife sat there for a long time, not moving or speaking.

After a long time, Yuan Zhibai said: "Yang'er, you are a good boy." He can let us help him with his marriage, which shows that he still has parents in his heart. ”

The Queen Mother looked lonely: "But after all, it's different." It's very different from before. She took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, "Seeing that Tuo'er has to take medicine every month, my heart is hateful and heartache." I wanted to ask Yang'er to give his brother an antidote, but I didn't dare to speak. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if I open my mouth, Yang'er won't even recognize me as a mother. ”

Yuan Zhibai sighed and shook his head: "Don't speak." Tuo'er, that is self-inflicted. Think about the hardships he made Yang'er endure. After saying that, he stood up and walked slowly to the door. His original chubby figure is now as thin as a normal person.

Yuan Tianye left the palace and did not go back to King Yi's mansion, but went straight to Lin Xiaozhu's house. He ate there, drank tea and played chess, and did not return to his house until it was dark. Early the next morning, the two took Yuan Shi, Yuan Er, Yun Shan and others and set off into the mountains. After a day and a half of walking on the mountain road, I finally saw Xiajia Village in the evening of that day.

Four or five years have passed, and Xiashan Village has not changed much, it is still surrounded by mountains and rivers, green trees and flowers, low houses, and chickens and dogs.

Lin Xiaozhu stood on the hillside, looking at this familiar scenery, the past came to her mind one by one, she sighed, turned her head to Yuan Shi, Yun Shan and the others: "You stay at the foot of the mountain for a while, and when I call, you can go in again." She didn't want to play any tentative tricks, but she was worried that her aunt was still so virtuous, scolding and scolding at home, and her uncle was still drunk and dreaming of death. If so, it would be a shame on her in front of these subordinates. The family is ugly, but it's better not to be publicized.

As for Yuan Tianye, he already knew what her relatives were like. And he will be her dearest person in the future, and she wants him to know everything about her, including her best relative.

The two walked slowly towards the village, and as soon as they entered the village, they heard a burst of suona and firecrackers coming from the village.

"Someone married?" Lin Xiaozhu and Yuan Tianye glanced at each other. Her uncle lives in the village, isn't it just in time for her cousin Xia Chunyan to get married today? Xia Chunyan is one year older than her, and it would not be strange if she got married today.

Yuan Tianye frowned: "This suona is obviously joy, how can I hear someone crying?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu also heard the cry mixed with the cheerful music. She quickened her pace and made her way to the head of the village. (To be continued)
