Mu Yan felt that the days were long, but Huo Xi felt that the days were short. It always felt like time passed too fast and people were caught off guard.
Huo Nian was also the one who felt that time passed too fast.
The closer the time came, the more serious he became. Anyone who saw him knew that he was in a bad mood and would get angry whenever he came near.
Every day when I come back from the Imperial College, I go to Xianglan Courtyard. I don’t want to go back to my own courtyard even if I stay in Xianglan Courtyard.
Mu Jie also followed him. Ever since his little mother had a big belly and was about to give birth, he didn't want to go home even more.
He followed Huo Nian to the British government mansion every day. He was counting the days, waiting for Huo Xi to marry into their family, smiling every day, in sharp contrast to Huo Nian.
Two little brothers often quarrel over this.
Mu Jie looked at Huo Xi sewing the red wedding dress, and his smile became even brighter, but Huo Nian felt it was an eyesore.
"elder sister……"
Huo Xi glanced at him, put down her wedding dress, and waved to him.
Huo Nian ran over and sat next to her, holding her arm and rubbing against it.
Huo Xi's heart softened to tears.
"Sister just moved to another place to live. I can still see her from time to time."
"That's right, our two families are so close. If you run very fast, you don't even need a stick of incense to get there!" Mu Jie felt happy when she saw that Sister Xi was about to become a sister-in-law.
"I see it all the time, but not every day! It's not even close, but it's not the same mansion." Huo Nian scolded him dissatisfied.
Uh... "You can see her from time to time if you are close. My brother will not prevent Sister Xi from returning to her parents' home."
"No matter how close we are, my sister doesn't live at home anymore. Why don't you let your brother live in our house!" This way my sister doesn't have to leave home.
Well……
"My brother likes Sister Xi so much. If Sister Xi speaks out, my brother will probably agree." Mu Jie also seriously considered Huo Nian's suggestion.
His brother is the same wherever he lives, just like him. It's not like his surname is no longer Mu if he lives in a British government residence.
After hearing Mu Jie's words, everyone in the room laughed.
I'm afraid your brother doesn't want to beat you after hearing this.
Huo Nian also felt that Mu Jie was unreliable. He looked sad. His sister was about to leave, and he had to let her get married. It was so sad.
"It's okay. My sister will come back to see you from time to time. Or you can live in the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion and stay with your sister for a few days from time to time."
Huo Nian was stunned, and Mu Jie jumped up: "Yes, you can live in our house! This way you don't have to be separated from Sister Xi!"
Huo Nian was comforted and put away a trace of sadness.
In the blink of an eye, even the Yang family took An An to stay with Huo Xi at the British government residence.
As the day drew closer, Huo Xi became a little nervous due to everyone. She began to arrange manpower and select the dowry mother and maidservants who would go with her to the Mu Mansion.
On September 13th, people who were good friends with Huo Xi, business partners, Pei Youjing and others, and ladies from noble families in the capital came to add makeup to Huo Xi.
From the time the sun rises in the east to the time when the afterglow fades, there are no shortage of guests at home.
September 14th is the day when close family members and clan members add makeup to Huo Xi.
Concubine Zhang Guifei in the palace and Zhang Biyao in the East Palace both sent people to bring several makeup sets.
Early in the morning, Yang and Huo Erhuai also ordered their servants to carry more than a dozen dowries and escorted them over personally. There were also Yang Fu's family, maternal uncle's family, Shen Qianzhong's family, Yu Jiang's family, and Zou A'nai's family. , Lou Qingyao and her daughter, and some shopkeepers and stewards of Guangfeng Water.
Huo Xidu arranged for them to live in the Duke's mansion and wait for the ceremony tomorrow.
"Mom and Dad, have you moved all your belongings here? What should An An do?"
"Sister, I have it! And I'm a man, so I'll earn it myself!" An An puffed out her chest.
The monkey came to Huo Xi's side. From time to time, he would go to the Duke's Mansion to live with his brother and sister for a while. He didn't feel much about his sister leaving home. Anyway, he missed his sister, so he would go and stay with her for a few more days.
Anyway, they are all in the capital. You can see them all the time.
Yang, Huo Erhuai and their daughter have lived apart for nearly two years, and they are not too sad about their daughter leaving home.
However, when I think of the early days when I was dependent on my daughter and son, I always feel quite emotional.
"Everything in the family now is earned by you. My parents even gave you everything as a dowry, but they still don't think it's enough."
Mrs. Yang held her hand and wouldn't let go. Back then, a small person fell in front of her and her husband. As time went by, he grew up and had to go out.
Ms. Fang, who was sitting beside her, was feeling heartbroken as she thought about the dozens of dowries that had been carried over, including jewelry, expensive fur materials, various ornaments, and shops and farms.
She knew that the second son had a small family fortune, but she didn't expect that he had so much wealth! There were only two Zhuangzi who accompanied him in his dowry, and there were also several shops.
And he can't just move all his belongings here, right? How much wealth does her son have to have?
While I was thinking about it, I couldn't get them all, and it was even more worrying.
The daughter-in-law of a duke's palace still lacks your dowry? Even if she fills in all her belongings, there will be no sound. If she marries from a duke's house to another duke's house, will she have no money to spend?
A dowry worth more than a dozen pounds is required?
Mrs. Fang just said in the morning that she gave too much, and was scolded by Huo Erhuai and Huo Da. She was suffocating and unhappy.
When I came to the Duke's Mansion, I heard that several large warehouses were used to store Huo Xi's dowry. The people who came to add the dowry today could install another warehouse. I was shocked.
These are the days of wealthy people. They have hundreds of acres of land, and they think they are the landlords in the village. Then where does that go?
That night, Yang lingered in Huo Xi's room and refused to leave.
She hesitated. Thinking that Xi'er's biological mother was gone, Xi'er was afraid that she didn't understand many things. In the early years, she had never told Xi'er about the relationship between husband and wife.
Mother Ma looked at her hesitating for a long time, her face turned red, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Madam, don't worry, there is an old slave here."
When Yang saw it, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, I've forgotten about Grandma Ma."
When Huo Xi saw it, he understood. His face immediately started to burn.
"Mom, don't worry. Grandma, Vanilla and the others are here." She hugged Yang, and this hug almost brought tears to her eyes.
"Your father and I have been thinking about things in the past few years when we go to bed these days. When we met you and Nian'er, our family's life was difficult, but it was also warm and happy. At such a young age, you took our family with you.
, living the days little by little, making everyone envious. Your father and I have thanked God countless times for allowing us to pick you up and make you our children..."
In the early years, life was hopeless. Day after day, year after year, they lived such a miserable life with no hope in sight. The couple thought of raising Yang Fu, giving him a marriage, and watching him live a better life.
, even if you are worthy of your parents, this life will be over.
Unexpectedly, after picking up the Huo Xi siblings, their lives got better and better, and they even gave birth to An An. Later, their family went ashore again, bought a house in the inner city and settled down, living a life that they could not even think about.
"Mom, I have thanked God countless times for allowing Nian'er and I to meet you. Nian'er and I have lived a carefree life for ten years. From now on, when we are still in the capital, I will visit you whenever I have time.
Dad and mom can also visit me from time to time."
"Okay, mother comes to see you. My son, mother can't bear to leave you."
In another city, if the daughter's family marries someone, she is someone else's family.
Mrs. Yang held Huo Xi tightly in her arms. The child who had nightmares at night and was seasick and unable to sleep on the boat grew up in her arms and was going to get married tomorrow.
