The news that Xie Xiaolian was going to get married spread throughout the battalion.

Although the haze of war was shrouded, the camp was still struck by this good news from top to bottom, and there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere.

The soldiers on the border are really hard, most of them have been rooted in this bitter cold place since they first became adults, and their lifelong events are basically completed at home, and their daughters-in-law and children are all in their hometowns after they become married, and there are very few family members of the army like Vice General Chen's family.

The border barracks are located in a bitter cold place, and the two years of fighting have been repeated, and unlike before, most people cannot go home to marry even when they are old enough to get married.

Everything has to wait until the war is over.

Therefore, the soldiers were particularly enthusiastic about this happy event.

The red lanterns were hung high, and the barracks were decorated with big red letters.

Xie Xiaolian's barracks was cleaned by Bai Zhaomei with her subordinates, and Mrs. Chen personally took her mother-in-law and maids around her to decorate the new house, and sent red bedding and red candles.

The three princes of Rong were captured by Bai Dazhuang, although there was no movement from the Rong country, but everyone in the camp knew that a big war between the two countries was about to break out.

War, in addition to victory and military merit, also has death and sacrifice.

No one knows who belongs to which.

The unpredictable tomorrow and the uncertain results have made everyone actively participate in the family affairs of Xie Xiaolian and Xia Qinghe.

Even General Meng ordered to make this happy event lively.

The heavy snow that had fallen at dusk the previous day finally stopped the next morning, and the sun shone golden through the clouds.

After Bai Dazhuang and his party came to Ningcheng, the first sunny weather finally appeared.

And this day is also the day they go to Ningcheng to visit.

Bai Dazhuang led the people of Shenshu Village out of the camp amid Bai Zhaomei's advice, and Xie Xiaolian called a few guards to follow.

It was accompanied by two carriages, whose main role was to pull things.

"I heard that Ningcheng's mutton soup is delicious, and I'm going to taste it when it's time." Hanwa said with a smile.

"What's so delicious about sheep soup, don't you drink it in the barracks. I heard that there is a wine shop opened by people from the spinach country, and the shopkeepers have green eyes and red hair, I don't believe that someone's eyes are green, let's go and see. Chen Ergou said.

"What a spinach country, that's the country of Persia. What I want to see most is a beautiful woman with green eyes and red hair, and her waist is soft when she dances. Liu Fugui said.

……

Bai Dazhuang listened to the discussions of these young men in Shenshu Village, and his voice was full of excitement and novelty.

He thought of what his fifth brother told him, and said: "Let's save it, let's go to Ningcheng City this time mainly to buy things for our family to buy a dowry for Qinghe, don't dare to run around, Ningcheng has not been peaceful in recent years, everyone should pay attention." ”

"Brother Zhuang, don't worry, we have nothing to do all this way, and there is no possibility of anything in Ningcheng." Hanwa said.

"You can drink mutton soup, you can go to the wine shop in the spinach country, you can see the beautiful women, but you can't be alone, you must be together." Zhao Dazhui said, "Da Zhuang is also good for everyone, we have good luck all the way, who knows if there is good luck in Ningcheng City, in short, be careful." ”

Bai Dazhuang knew that it was very hard for everyone to send food, and when he heard that he went to Ningcheng to see the world, he was itching, and he was all young men, so it was normal for him to be unable to suppress his excitement and curiosity.

He has no objection to everyone opening their eyes in Ningcheng, but there should still be caution.

He's going to have to get these people home safely.

So he said a few more words.

"By the way, Da Zhuang, what kind of dowry should we buy for Xia Qinghe?" Zhao Dazhui asked.

"There is a war on the border, there is a shortage of everything, and I don't know what Ningcheng has, what I want is to buy something practical." Bai Dazhuang said.

Marrying a daughter in the Nanguan Mountain area, there are basic furniture, quilts, clothes, and accessories, and even the things produced after marriage will be prepared.

Xia Qinghe and Xie Xiaolian got married in a hurry, and they definitely can't be as complete as Nanguan Mountain, and everything can only be simple.

But Bai Dazhuang still hopes to give Xia Qinghe a decent dowry, after all, Xia Qinghe has a constant relationship with the Bai family, Bai Dazhuang has already treated him as a sister, and secondly, Xia Qinghe followed them all the way to the border, which was not easy.

Bai Dazhuang brought a lot of silver with him when he came to the border, and at this time he still had nearly a thousand taels left in his hand, and after calculating the entanglement of these people on the way back, deducting the gifts for his family, the rest of the silver was planned to buy a dowry for Xia Qinghe.

"Da Zhuang, you can't just spend money on you and Erzhuang. Early in the morning, we scraped together some silver, and we all bought a dowry for Qinghe, who I also watched grow up with my sister. ”

Zhao Dazhui took out the silver that everyone had made up and handed it to Bai Dazhuang.

"No, I have enough money here."

Everyone is willing to come to the border to transport grain with them, and it is already very sincere. Let everyone pay for the silver again, Bai Dazhuang will not be happy in his heart.

Although everyone has eaten and drunk well over the years, they are not so rich in money.

And their money was saved by their families.

"Brother Zhuang, you can take it. You paid for all the food and drink we had all the way, and our money didn't move. Liu Fugui said.

"That's it, Xia Qinghe is also my sister, and Brother Zhuang can't brush off our kindness for her." Hanwa said.

Everyone echoed one after another, proving that it was spontaneously paid for the silver, not the coercion of Zhao Dazhu.

Knowing that everyone was sincerely planning for Xia Qinghe, Bai Dazhuang accepted the money that everyone had put together.

Soon everyone came to Ningcheng City.

Although Ningcheng was shrouded in the haze of war, it could be seen that it was still a more prosperous border city than Huaicheng.

The streets are lined with liquor shops and shops of all kinds wide open.

It's just that there are a little less pedestrians on the street.

At the door of a wine shop, the Hu girl is wearing a thin waist and dancing Hu Xuan, and her big green eyes are like a pool of blue water.

Uncle Hu next to her was playing the violin, with the same green eyes.

The boys from Shenshu Village were stunned.

That Hu girl is even more beautiful than she imagined.

"I'll come back and watch, let's hurry up and buy a dowry for Qinghe." Bai Dazhuang patted Hanwa's shoulder.

The young men who have no prospects, it seems that they have returned to Shenshu Village to remind their parents that it is time to say goodbye to them.

"yes, yes, come back and see." Zhao Dazhui retracted his gaze, the Huren girl was really good-looking, her waist was thin, if it wasn't for his son beside him, he would have seen enough.

"Shopkeeper Ren said, there is everything on this street, let's not go to other streets, just buy it in the shops on this street. I took Hanwa Fugui to buy clothes, bedding, shoes and socks for Qinghe, sledgehammer, you took Xiaogui Chaojing to buy washbasins, footbaths or something, Erzhuang, you took a few of them to buy dressing mirrors, dressers, and dogs, you took Hu San to buy some stools, teapots, and bowls...... Everyone else watched and bought. ”

Bai Dazhuang distributed the silver in his hand to everyone to make arrangements.

"Okay, let's meet here after buying." Bai Erzhuang said.

The car stopped, the horses were tied, and everyone scattered into the corresponding shops.

Bai Dazhuang naturally didn't know that when he turned around and walked into the jewelry shop next to him, someone was staring at him in the teahouse next door.
