Xiao Xixi put on a smile and comforted her father: "Anyway, I didn't drink the tea. I'm afraid the person who poisoned me has been hiding for a long time, so how could he wait for his father to come to him?"
"You don't have to worry about anyone coming to harm me again. After all, I have also learned medical skills from Grandpa He. It is not difficult to distinguish some poisons."
Doctor He was also afraid that she would be poisoned again, so he also taught her how to identify poisons.
The worry on Xiao Zhongye's face faded a bit, but he still explained: "When you go to Prince Yan's Mansion, you have to ask the maids to help you test for poison. You must be careful especially with the things that enter the entrance. Things are complicated in the Prince's Mansion."
"Take your three maids with you. Speaking of which, I remember why you sent away one of them earlier? Otherwise, there could be one more to serve you."
In order to prevent others from seeing the clues, Xiao Xixi deliberately showed her reluctance: "If that girl Caiyun hadn't found a sweetheart, I wouldn't be willing to let her go."
Mrs. Gu said: "We, Xixi, are kind-hearted. Let's go and see whose master treats his slaves so well. Not only does he allow his servants to leave, but he also gives them money."
Xiao Xixi smiled and said no more.
Ru Lan, who was standing aside and waiting, frowned.
Afterwards, the atmosphere of eating together gradually improved.
After dinner, Xiao Xixi returned to Hanli's residence.
On the way, seeing no one around, Rulan mentioned Caiyun: "Does the lady also know that Caiyun left the capital with her lover?"
Xiao Xixi paused at her feet.
Unexpectedly, Caiyun still chose to believe that man.
Xiao Xixi said nothing, shook her head, smiled, and resumed her pace.
By letting Caiyun leave, she had fulfilled the wishes of the original owner and her master and servant. Whether Caiyun lives well or poorly in the future is her own choice. Xiao Xixi will not interfere or ask questions anymore. After all, Caiyun was the one who killed the original owner.
people.
Not long after she returned to Hanli, Mrs. Gu came over and showed her the dowry booklet.
Xiao Xixi looked at the thick booklet and her envious saliva almost flowed out of the corners of her eyes.
Fortunately, she is Xiao Xiaoyu now, so she doesn't need to envy the original owner.
In addition to the land, shops, gold and silver jewellery, silks and satins, antique calligraphy and paintings, the dowry also included the property deeds and title deeds of various houses, not only in the capital but also in other places.
According to Mrs. Gu, these dowries are Xiao Xixi's confidence.
There are many women in Prince Yan's palace, but Gu asked around and found that none of them were serious. After all, Leng Moran could not take a concubine openly before marrying a concubine.
Most of those women were sent in by Princess Yongzhao. In addition, they were arranged by Emperor Honghui, and of course there were also sent by ministers.
Since it was the one who sent it in, of course the dowry couldn't be compared with Xiao Xixi's.
Even with a generous dowry, Mrs. Gu still took Xiao Xixi's hand and confessed: "No matter where you marry, you will be a girl from the Xiao family and my daughter. So what if you are the royal family? What about the palace? Who dares?
If I bully you, I must come back and tell my mother."
Xiao Xixi was warmed by Gu's concern and said with a smile: "You said you can bully me? I'm the only one who bullies others."
Mrs. Gu believed this, but she still pulled Xiao Xixi and talked a lot.
The day before the wedding, Xiao Dalang and his family came to see Xiao Xixi.
Mrs. Si called people into the house on the pretext that she wanted to tell Xiao Xixi that she had a daughter, leaving Xiao Dalang and his children to play in the yard.
The aunt and sister-in-law did not have much friendship, and Xiao Xixi was also very curious about what Mr. Si wanted to say to her.
Then he saw Mrs. Si take out a booklet from her sleeve and stuff it to Xiao Xixi with a blushing face: "Second sister, you must take a good look at this booklet today."
Xiao Xixi didn't react at all. She quickly reacted after she opened a page at random.
This, this, this...
Is there really such a booklet?
Wangwen sincerely does not deceive me!
Unknowingly, Xiao Xixi had already opened the book.
In fact, Mrs. Si didn't want to deliver the brochures. The main reason was that Mrs. Gu felt that she was an elder and was afraid that Xiao Xixi would be pressured, so she asked Mrs. Si, her sister-in-law, to deliver the brochures.
As the eldest sister, Xiao Xiaolu was not married yet, so Mrs. Si could only accept the job in despair.
Seeing Xiao Xixi looking at the book with her eyes wide open, Mrs. Si quickly closed the book for her, coughed lightly and said, "Second sister, I'd better read it at night."
Xiao Xixi realized belatedly that she should be more reserved.
So, she nodded sheepishly.
The two walked to the yard and found that Xiao Erlang had also come over.
Xiao Erlang patted his chest and said, "Second sister, don't worry, I will work hard in the military camp and strive to be your support in the future."
Before Xiao Xixi could say anything, Xiao Jinbao imitated his uncle and patted his chest with his soft, chubby hands and said, "Jinbao will also be my aunt's support!"
It made everyone laugh.
Xiao Jinwei was not as talkative as her younger brother, but handed Xiao Xixi a box with both hands, which contained Xiao Jinwei's favorite toy. She hoped that her aunt would be happy every day after she got married.
In the evening, Xiao Xiaolu came over and slept with Xiao Xixi.
The two sisters naturally talked about interesting things from their childhood.
Xiao Xixi possesses the memory of the original owner without any flaws.
Xiao Xiaolu sighed with emotion, she didn't expect that they would all grow up so quickly.
"Sister, have you ever thought about getting married?" Xiao Xixi asked.
Although she does not think that women must marry, Xiao Xiaolu is still very young. If she chooses to live her whole life alone, she will still be lonely.
Xiao Xiaolu sighed, her legs had recovered during this period, and many people came to propose marriage, but she was unwilling.
Previously, because of her bad legs, so many people were afraid to avoid her. After experiencing the harshness of the world, she decided not to marry, or she was unwilling to marry until she met someone she liked.
After understanding what her sister meant, Xiao Xixi felt relieved. It was the right thing to do otherwise. After all, the Xiao family was not afraid of raising another daughter.
…
Before dawn, Xiao Xixi was picked up and dressed.
On a hot day, layer after layer of wedding clothes were put on her body. Xiao Xixi felt a little hopeless. The thought of wearing it like this for a day made her feel that the task was even more daunting.
Mrs. Gu came over to comb Xiao Xixi's hair. As she combed it, Mrs. Gu took the jade comb and shed tears reluctantly.
Just when Xiao Xiaolu and Mr. Si were trying to persuade her, Xiao Xixi smiled and said, "Mother should be happy for me."
Gu thought she couldn't cry on the big day, so she quickly held back her tears and wiped the tears off her face with a silk handkerchief. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we Xixi will definitely live a good life in the future."
After Mrs. Gu finished combing her hair, Xiao Xixi was served by the maids and put various hairpin rings on her hair.
After a while, Xiao Xixi felt that she could no longer lift her head, so she could only support her neck with great effort to prevent it from being weighed down by the accessories on her head.
It was too difficult to get married in ancient times!
After bidding farewell to parents and elders, the wedding team from Prince Yan's Mansion has arrived.
