Chapter 43: The Marriage Ceremony (1)

As the saying goes: "Knowing the son is better than the father!"

Xia Zhao knows his two sons very well, although the eldest son seems to be better in terms of qualifications and mentality, but the second and third sons are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they are also among the best qualifications in the family.

Now that the eldest son and the second son are competing for a little girl from the countryside as their daughter-in-law, there must be an inside story, Xia Zhao decided to figure things out first.

He called his eldest son in first, and without giving Xia Ze time to react, he just said, "Say, what is the situation with that little girl?"

Although Xia Ze is wise on weekdays and is also handy in dealing with accidents, as soon as he meets his father, he seems to be constrained everywhere and can't show it.

He also had no intention of deceiving his father, so he replied: "In the child's opinion, that little girl is very human, and she should be the legendary Heavenly Spirit Root!"

Rao is Xia Zhao, who has been through the storm for a long time, was also shocked for a while, his mind was blank, and he unconsciously asked, "Heavenly Spirit Root?"

Xia Ze didn't dare to be sure, so he replied, "It is eight points similar to the legendary Heavenly Spirit Root. It's easy for my father to be sure, so why don't you just measure it yourself?"

Xia Zhao came back to his senses, felt that he was a little out of shape, and said, "Your brother also knows that this girl may be a Heavenly Spirit Root?"

After thinking for a while, Xia Ze replied: "I shouldn't know, otherwise I wouldn't release other pigeons." Hu Mei brought everyone along, but the second brother didn't want to marry others. ”

He paused, and then continued: "It is estimated that the second brother is trying to find an in-law who will help him take over as the young patriarch, and now he is robbing me in turn, which is an element of gambling." ”

Xia Zhao adjusted his thoughts, thinking that if a Tianlinggen married into the Xia family, the benefits to the family would not be a little bit, and this matter must be handled properly.

So he said to his eldest son, "Leave nothing else to worry about, and bring the little girl in!"

After Xia Ze came out, Xia Mu was about to enter, but his brother stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "You wait a minute, my father wants to see this little girl." ”

Xia Ze turned to Hu Hai again and said, "Brother Hu, don't you mind Ling Yan going in with me to meet my father?"

Hu Hai was a little overwhelmed today, first rushed to his cousin-in-law's house to "see others", and was treated by his cousin-in-law with a basin of cold water, which made his heart cold.

Immediately after being invited to the wine table by the eldest young master of the Xia family as a relative, the daughter went from a country woman who was disliked by her cousin-in-law to two brothers competing to get married, as if in a dream.

Now the most authoritative old man of the Xia family wants to see his daughter again, although the final result is not yet known, but it is okay to see him.

Hu Hai took his daughter's hand and instructed, "Go with Uncle Xia to see grandpa, don't be afraid, dad is waiting for you here." ”

Xiao Zhengying nodded sensibly "um", and followed Xia Ze into the house generously.

Xia Zhao first looked at Hu Zhengying with the Heavenly Eye Technique, and there was only an imperceptible faint halo on her body and dantian.

Xia Zhao then took Xiao Zhengying's little hand and walked into a sealed hut to conduct a spiritual root test inside.

After a cup of tea, Xia Zhao led Xiao Zhengying out with a happy face, and said to Xia Ze: "You guessed right, it is a wood attribute Tianling root, you lead Xiao Zhengying out first, I want to think about it calmly, how to deal with this matter." ”

Xia Ze took Xiao Zhengying out of the room, she happily ran to her father, and Hu Hai's hanging heart finally let go.

After another cup of tea, Xia Zhao called the two brothers in, and then asked the eldest son directly:

"If you are disqualified from inheriting the patriarch in exchange for your son marrying Xiao Zhengying, are you willing?"

Xia Ze replied without hesitation: "Yes!"

Then he also asked his second son, but Xia Mu was a little hesitant, but when he saw his eldest brother like this, he agreed, and then replied yes.

Since they are all willing, then I announced that I have decided: "Just come first come, first come, the marriage is proposed by the second child first, and you will give it to the second eldest child." The young patriarch should have inherited it from the eldest, and you don't have to fight for the second. ”

Xia Ze still wanted to speak, but Xia Zhao directly waved him out, and seeing the second son's puzzled expression, he sighed and said:

"You're still not as good as your eldest brother! Why do you want to marry Hu Hai yourself, you know why, why your eldest brother also rushed to marry Hu Hai, do you know?"

Xia Mu naturally didn't know the inside story, so he had to ask, "Why did the eldest brother marry Hu Hai?"

Xia Zhao said angrily: "That's because your eldest brother found out that Hu Hai's daughter is a Tianling Root, and today it has been determined by the test for your father!Do you know where the gap between you and your eldest brother is?"

Hearing the Heavenly Spirit Root, Xia Mu also remembered the record of "Heavenly Spirit Root" in the family classics, which is equivalent to an ironclad Jindan stage master, and half a chance to become a Yuan Infant stage master!

Thinking that a Tianlinggen was almost driven back to the countryside by himself, and he didn't know whose hands he would fall into, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If this Heavenly Spirit Root leaks out of his hands this time, or accidentally forms an enemy with this Heavenly Spirit Root, then he will completely become a sinner of the Xia family!

Thinking of this, he cautiously asked, "Father, what should I do next?"

Xia Zhao said: "I was just about to tell you about this, you first handle it according to the rules of marriage, and finally, when the "big decision" is made, you must go to the Hu family to make things lively!"

Xia Mu knew in his heart that his father had already settled this matter, and there was no room for redemption.

Besides, if you pick up a daughter-in-law of Tianlinggen for nothing, your status in the family is transcendent. Making a suggestion by yourself is basically a sure thing, and I really can't fight for the status of a laborious young patriarch.

Competing for the identity of the heir in a big family also has the rules of the game and the bottom line, and you can't fight to the death, and fight endlessly.

Now Xia Mu has also figured it out, since the patriarch has no hope, let's take a good look at his Tianlinggen daughter-in-law!

After returning home, he personally accompanied Hu Hai's father and daughter to play in various places in Xiangzhou Mansion.

All kinds of items, regardless of whether they are expensive or cheap, only Xiao Zhengying showed a trace of interest, so he bought them immediately, so that the father and daughter could really enjoy what it means to be "close to each other".

After Hu Hai proposed to go home, Xia Mu personally brought several carriages, filled with all kinds of gifts, to Hu's house to "Wending".

When he arrived in Hujiawan, Xia Mu visited the old patriarch of the Hu family according to the etiquette of the younger generation, and the old patriarch was also very satisfied.

After Xia Mu and Hu Hai exchanged "Geng posts", according to his father's instructions, Xia Mu was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he directly set the day of "Dading" on an auspicious day ten days later.

Xia Mu was so nervous to settle the family affairs, after the incident of their two brothers competing for their daughter-in-law, Hu Hai naturally thought that he was afraid that he would change his hexagram, which made Hu Hai a little annoyed, thinking that Xia Mu looked down on his character.

At the same time, he was also a little caught off guard, it seemed that the Xia family was afraid that they wanted to make a big noise, and they could only try their best to make various preparations for the "Dading" ceremony.
