Chapter 978: Everyone is fine
That night, at the back door of Xia's house, a cyan sedan chair appeared, and Xia Meng came to see off his daughter in person.
There is no one else at the back door of the Xia family except the four sedan chair men who carry the sedan chair, and at this time in the back door, Xia Meng is still making a final explanation to his daughter:
"Qing Ran, this is the last time I call you by your name, when you enter the Meng Mansion, you will forget this name, you are the daughter of the Meng family, what General Meng tells you to do, you can do it, take care of yourself."
"Yes, father, daughter remembers."
Ripple hung his head and said softly.
"Qingran, I can't bear you either, but for the sake of the future of you and the Xia family, I have to gamble once, you have to be considerate of your father's hard work."
"The father's painstaking daughter understands that when his daughter is developed, she will not forget what her father has done, as well as her mother. Aunt Lang, you must take care of it a little more. ”
Ripple did not forget to mention Xia Qingran's mother-in-law.
"You don't have to worry about this, she is my pillow person, and my father will naturally not treat her badly."
Vice General Xia felt that the emotional connection was almost over, so he opened the back door and watched the ripples sit in the sedan chair, but he did not step out of the back door.
Ripple wore a veil, an ordinary cotton dress, and no jewelry, which was also to keep her identity from divulging.
After she sat in the sedan chair of the Meng family, she quickly took off her veil, took out a wet handkerchief from her sleeve and put it on her face, and then took off all her makeup, and she wanted to meet the Meng family with the face of Cuizhu.
The sedan chair circled around the city for a long time, presumably in order not to arouse suspicion, and only after half an hour was it carried in through the back door of General Meng's mansion.
After entering the door, there was an old lady who supported the ripples on another soft sedan chair, this time without stopping, directly into the backyard, and finally stopped in front of the door of "Liufangyuan".
"Miss, please get off the sedan chair, the slave maid will wait for you to wash and change your clothes first."
The old lady helped the ripples into the boudoir, and then spoke.
"There's Mama Lao."
Ripple nodded, and then took off the veil on his face.
The old lady's eyes were sharp, swept over the face of the ripples, and then personally served the ripples to bathe, and by the way, she checked the sand on the body and arms of the ripples.
Ripple pretended not to know, took a bath happily, twisted his hair and changed into a set of satin pajamas, and drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and then was served to sleep.
"Miss, it's late today, tomorrow the old slave will accompany Miss to greet the general and his wife."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
Ripple covered herself with a satin quilt, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
And the clothes she changed were taken by the old lady to the kitchen to fill the stove, leaving no flaws, and then the old lady hurried to see the general and his wife.
Ripple had a good night's sleep and entered the backyard of the Meng Mansion, which was one step closer to her successful marriage to the crown prince.
On the second day, Ripple woke up early in the morning, and under the service of the old mother, she wore a new blue peony dark pattern skirt, combed a falling cloud bun, and wore a set of tourmaline colorful heads, which looked more and more delicate and lovely, and then went to greet the general and his wife.
General Meng and his wife had been waiting for a long time, although they were very satisfied with Vice General Xia's daughter after listening to Mama Meng's words last night, but they still felt a little uneasy about not seeing the real person after all.
"General, madam, Mama Meng accompanied Miss to say goodbye, and the slave maid saw that Miss's face was much better."
Mrs. Meng's eldest maid hurriedly entered the hall and said with a smile.
"Well, don't let the ripples and others get through, just let them in."
Mrs. Meng said immediately.
"Yes, ma'am."
General Meng took a sip of tea, put the teacup down, and then said in a low voice:
"Madame, I'm embarrassing you."
"I know, you have no choice but to do this, the emperor is getting older, his suspicions are getting worse, and he wants to pave the way for the prince before he dies, I understand, but he shouldn't hit my daughter with his idea."
Mrs. Meng's voice was a little cold.
"Madam, be careful!"
Mrs. Meng's eyes were already red, and she exhaled a long breath, forcibly suppressing the unwillingness in her heart.
Who can understand her feelings, her daughter went but she couldn't even mourn, and she had to happily prepare for her daughter's marriage, and she couldn't even cry.
General Meng looked at his wife who was trying to calm down, and felt uncomfortable, their family had just sent away their little daughter last night, and now they had to let another girl occupy the courtyard of the little daughter and marry in her daughter's name.
Ripples saw General Meng and Mrs. Meng unimpeded, General Meng was about fifty years old, and he already had gray hair on his sideburns, but he was still very imposing sitting there, and he looked like a decisive person.
Mrs. Meng's face was a little haggard, even if she covered it with fat powder, she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.
"Daughters greet their fathers and mothers!"
Ripples performed a standard blessing that made it impossible to find fault with it.
It's just that General Meng and Mrs. Meng didn't respond, and Mrs. Meng waved her hand to Mama Meng and said:
"Mama, you go down first, we have something to say to her."
"Yes!"
Mama Meng immediately responded, and then nodded to the two above, suggesting that the ripples were very regular, and then exited the hall and closed the door intimately.
"Sit down and talk."
Mrs. Meng said lightly.
"Mrs. Xie."
Ripples sat down like a stream, and then looked up at the two people above, and said before the two spoke:
"Xia Meng has already told the little girl the whole story, I have to come for the sake of the Xia family, and I have repaid the favor of the Xia family.
I know that Miss Meng is gone, please mourn the two of you, even if it is pretended, it will be loaded until I get on the sedan chair, I will try my best to cooperate with you, I just hope that the two of you will not become the people who show the stuffing, and others will see the clues. ”
Mrs. Meng, who originally wanted to say something, looked at the ripples directly at this time, and her eyes changed unpredictably.
"Madam, don't look at me like this, and don't be angry with me, after all, I didn't voluntarily take your daughter's place.
The Meng family has the last resort of the Meng family, and I also have my last resort, I hope that before I go out, everyone can get along peacefully, and I will not appear in front of Mrs. to be an eyesore, because of poor health, Mrs. will exempt her daughter from asking for peace. ”
Ripple said calmly.
"Go down! Do what you should do, and we won't do you badly. ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Ripple stood up and bowed, then turned and walked out of the hall.
Mama Meng, who was guarding the door, looked at Ripples with a scrutinizing gaze, and Ripples just smiled back at the other party and went back to Liufangyuan.
Maybe it's because Ripple's words are too straightforward, or maybe General Meng doesn't want to make extraneous branches, since they met that day, Ripple hasn't gone to ask for peace again, but just recuperated in Liufangyuan with peace of mind, embroidered dowry, and the general's mansion slowly became lively.
Time passed quickly, half a month later, the imperial city's welcoming procession finally arrived at the border pass, and the eunuch who announced the decree read out the emperor's decree on marriage, and personally handed over the decree to the ripples, and also saw the legendary Meng family's frail and sick lady.
Ripple took the holy decree with both hands, thanked Gong Cao with a smile, and returned to the backyard after showing his face.
