Nie Wuzheng said helplessly: "These elders are making noise in their ears every day, and the children have to go to find them."

Nie Xun was silent for a while, and said: "The jade medal and the royal scepter are just a symbolic meaning, just like the jade seal of the country, they don't have any magic in themselves. Dayan is now in good weather, the government is clear, the country is peaceful, and if you want to restore the country, the time and place are not the same, these elders are just fools. ”

Jia Qianqian suddenly interjected: "Is it because the city lord saw this clearly and felt that there was no hope that he became a monk?" ”

Nie Xun looked at her, "The girl is really Bingxue smart, but this is only half of the reason, and the other half is that I am obsessed with Buddhism, when you go deeper, you will find that wealth and glory are all fleeting, and the change of dynasties is only a historical necessity, if you can let the people of the whole world live and work in peace and contentment, what does it make if you are in power?" ”

Jia Qianqian said movingly: "The city lord is really broad-minded, Qianqian's words just now were offensive, please don't blame the city lord." ”

Nie Xun smiled bitterly, "Actually, you were right just now, although I studied Buddhism and escaped into the empty door, but in fact, how could I have forgotten about Hongchen?" At the beginning, I felt that there was no hope of recovering the country, and after reading the Buddhist scriptures, I also got a certain amount of relief, but as the only descendant of the Dayue Dynasty, escaping into the empty door is, after all, an act of evading responsibility. I could see all this clearly, but the people of Xuancheng didn't see it clearly, so I left it all alone and pushed it all to the young Wushang. ”

Nie Wuzheng asked, "Since you have seen it clearly, why don't you persuade the children and elders to give up?" ”

Nie Xun sighed slightly, "It's not for my father to say it, you can give up, this depends on your own understanding, recovering the country is the only spiritual belief of all the people of Xuancheng, it is not easy to let them give up." Since they won't give up, if you also give up, they will inevitably fall into chaos because of the leaderless dragons, and the consequences may be very serious, and the future of Xuancheng is worrying, and that situation is also what I don't want to see. ”

Jia Qianqian said: "I understand, the city lord just wants to go with the flow." ”

Nie Xun nodded.

Nie Wuzheng asked again, "Does the kid still want to find the scepter?" ”

Jia Qianqian smiled and said: "Of course you have to find it, didn't the city lord say it, let it be!" ”

Nie Xun nodded approvingly, "This scepter, the historical records have always been very vague and mysterious, in fact, it is all tricky, it and the jade medal are carved from the same rare and special jade, and it can emit colorful and magnificent light in the sun." Especially the scepter, when the ancestors held it in front of everyone, the magnificent, brilliant light enveloped the whole person, like an immortal descending to earth, which made people suddenly awe-inspired, and thus created its mystery. After that, they were hidden in the palace until they disappeared. ”

"The jade chapter has fallen to the people, will the scepter also fall to the people?" Nie Wuzheng asked.

"I don't know about this, I think these things have to be recovered, I'm afraid it will depend on chance, you do your best, but don't be paranoid."

"Got it!" Today's conversation completely changed Nie Wuzheng's impression of his father.

Nie Xun looked at Jia Qianqian again and smiled: "This girl has always called me the city lord, she must not be from Xuancheng, right?" ”

Jia Qianqian also smiled: "It's really not, it was held hostage by Nie Wuzheng." She was telling the truth, but when Nie Xun saw that her son brought her to this special forbidden place, it could be seen that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and she thought that Qianqian was joking, so she laughed it off.

When Nie Wuzheng and Jia Qianqian left, Nie Wuzheng asked Qianqian to go out first, and asked in a low voice in front of Nie Xun: "Father, she is not from Xuancheng, if the child marries her, will you agree?" ”

Nie Xun said: "My father has long ignored these mundane things, but just gives you a piece of advice: sometimes you must have it in life, don't force it all the time in life, everything will be natural!" ”

Since his father didn't care about his marriage, he wouldn't object to it, and when Nie Wuzheng went back, he was in a very happy mood.

On the way, Jia Qianqian thought of the marriage festival a few days later, and asked: "I heard that you have a marriage festival in Xuancheng, which is not available anywhere else, can you tell me about it, what kind of festival is it?" ”

Nie Wuzheng, who was in a good mood, was even more happy to see her ask about this festival, so he explained in detail: "The marriage festival is actually modeled after a festival in Khotan, because it is a festival specially produced for the marriage of unmarried young men and women, so it is called the marriage festival." On that day, unmarried men and women in Xuancheng will get together to participate in some game activities, men will propose to their beloved women, if both men and women are willing, they can become unmarried couples, if there are two or more men who fancy a woman, they will have to compete in the martial arts arena, and the final winner can be qualified. ”

Jia Qianqian asked, "Then what if the girl doesn't like the person who takes a fancy to her?" ”

"If you don't like it, you can directly refuse it, on this day, no matter what you do, no one will laugh at you or get angry, and the rejected person will be annoyed at most, and you can continue to pursue other girls."

"Is there a woman who proposes to a man?"

Nie Wuzheng smiled and said: "Yes, it's just very few, after all, girls are very reserved, and they are afraid of losing face." ”

Jia Qianqian didn't ask again, and fell into deep thought, if Fang Gu's brother proposed to him that day, and he agreed to him, it would be the second time he was pretended to be engaged, and she Jia Qianqian was mixed up in the pile of men all day long, but she always looked for a fake husband, and she couldn't get married smoothly, it was really funny.

Nie Wuzheng looked at Jia Qianqian, who was wandering in the world beside him, thinking about the marriage festival, he proposed to her, if she agreed, what a happy thing it would be! looked at her tenderly for a while, but it was a pity that the people around her were immersed in their own thoughts and didn't notice his affectionate gaze at all.

The two returned to the inner city, and Mrs. Nie, who got the news, immediately called Nie Wuzheng away.

The custom of Xuancheng has always been monogamous, so Nie Xun only has one wife. Mrs. Nie's maiden family is just a common people family in Xuancheng, back then, this first beauty in Xuancheng was recognized by the Elders' House with her appearance and virtue, and became the envy of all Xuancheng girls. But after only more than ten years of glorious life, she was thrown into an embarrassing situation and became a widowed woman. Although when Nie Xun became a monk, she asked the House of Elders to let her remarry, but everyone knew that as the mother of the young master of Xuancheng, she had no choice, not to mention that she still loved the husband who had escaped into the empty door.

In the days that followed, her son Nie Wuzheng became her spiritual support, but as the elders taught more and more strictly, the distance between the young man's son and her became farther and farther, and he had nothing to rely on her, and she became more and more lonely.

In Qinxiangju, where Mrs. Nie lived, Mrs. Nie caressed his hand lovingly, "Tell my mother about today's meeting, isn't it time yet, why did you go to meet in advance?" ”

Every time Nie Wuzheng saw his father come back, his mother would call him over and ask him about his father's situation carefully, what they said, how was his father's health, whether he was emaciated, and so on! Nie Xun ruthlessly abandoned her and became a monk, and never saw her again, but she didn't care about him all the time.

Nie Wuzhengzai recounted it carefully, and at the end he still praised Jia Qianqian vigorously, "Mother, today is really thanks to Qianqian, I was able to complete the task assigned by the elders, and at the same time, I also understood the father's mood, and the child also benefited a lot." ”

Mrs. Nie pursed her lips and smiled and patted his hand, "Zheng'er, do you like this Jia girl very much?" ”

Nie Wuzheng's face suddenly flushed a little shyly, but he still said firmly to Mrs. Nie: "Yes, mother, the child likes her, and the child wants to marry her!" ”

"Okay, such a smart woman in ice and snow is qualified to be the young master's wife of Xuancheng, as long as she likes it, her mother will definitely support her!" For Mrs. Nie, she is also very happy to have the opportunity to help her son. Besides, if her son gets married early and gives her a few grandchildren, she will have something to do and she won't be lonely.

"Thank you, mother!" Seeing that his mother agreed, Nie Wuzheng was even more happy, those elders were not afraid now, as long as Qianqian agreed, if the elders stopped him, he would threaten them with leaving Xuancheng to make their dream of recovering the country come to naught.

That night, Mrs. Nie visited Jia Qianqian again and sent her a lot of bright and gorgeous dresses and jewelry. If her son marries her, she will be the young master's wife, how can the dignified young master's wife still wear men's clothes, nondescript.

Jia Qianqian looked at this large pile of clothes and jewelry, and her head suddenly became bigger, but no matter how she excused herself, Mrs. Nie still left these things with a smile, and said meaningfully before leaving: "Maybe after the marriage festival, you will change your name to me." ”

Jia Qianqian looked puzzled and said, "What do you call it?" ”

Mrs. Nie left with a smile and no answer.

Jia Qianqian didn't bother to think deeply about the meaning of these words, but Mrs. Nie's words reminded her that on the day of the marriage festival, should she wear men's clothes or women's clothes?

Maybe in order to make the play realistic, you should wear women's clothes. However, I really don't like women's clothes, forget it, it's all fake anyway, whatever clothes I wear, Aunt Fang's brother will come to propose to me, so don't worry about this.

In order not to come to Xuancheng in vain, Jia Qianqian took advantage of the few days before the marriage festival to go to the street to hang out and play every day. Nie Wuzheng is the young master of Xuancheng, so naturally he can't play with her every day, and he doesn't want to ban her, so he passed the order, everyone must not embarrass her, and if anyone violates the order, they will be severely punished.

After the last Jia Qianqian's disappearance case and Lu Dong'er's punishment of being hung overnight, everyone understood that this nondescript alternative girl was someone the young master cared about, so no one dared to follow in Lu Dong'er's footsteps.

And the long-awaited marriage festival of all young men and women has finally arrived.
