That night, a small green sedan appeared at the back door of Xia's house, and Xia Meng came to see his daughter off in person.
There is no one else at the back door of the Xia family except the four bearers carrying the sedan chair. At this time, Xia Meng is still making the final explanation to his daughter at the back door:
"Qing Ran, this is me This is the last time I call your name. When you enter the Meng Mansion, you will forget this name. You are the daughter of the Meng family. Do whatever General Meng tells you to do and take care of yourself."
< br>"Yes, father, my daughter has remembered."
Lianyi lowered her head and said softly.
"Qingran, I can't bear to leave you, but for the future of you and the Xia family, I have to make a bet. You must understand the painstaking efforts of your father." When your daughter grows up, she will never forget what her father has done, and you must take more care of your mother, Aunt Lang."
Lianyi did not forget to mention Xia Qingran's biological mother.
“You don’t have to worry about any of this. She is my pillow, and as a father, I will not treat her badly.”
Feeling that the emotional connection is almost complete, Deputy General Xia opened the back door and saw He followed Ripple and sat on the sedan, but he did not step out of the back door.
Lianyi wore a veil, an ordinary cotton dress, and no jewelry in order not to reveal her identity.
After she got on the Meng family's sedan, she quickly took off her veil, took out a wet handkerchief from her sleeve and put it on her face, then took off all her makeup. to meet the Meng family.
The sedan made a long circle around the city, probably in order not to arouse suspicion. It was only half an hour later that it was carried in through the back door of General Meng's Mansion.
After entering the door, there was an old woman who helped Lianyi get on another soft sedan. This time she did not stop again and went directly into the backyard, finally stopping at "Liufangyuan" in front of the door.
"Miss, please get off the sedan. I will help you wash and change your clothes first."
The old grandma helped Lianyi into the boudoir, and then she spoke.
"Thank you, grandma."
Lianyi nodded and then took off the veil on her face.
The old nanny glanced sharply at Ripple's face, and then personally served Ripple to bathe, while checking Ripple's body and the guarding sand on her arms.
Lianyi pretended not to know, took a quick bath, twirled her hair and put on a set of satin pajamas, and drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge before being served to sleep.
"Miss, it's late today. Tomorrow I will accompany the young lady to pay my respects to the general and his wife."
"Okay, I'll note it down."
Ripple covered the satin quilt and closed it. His eyes fell into a deep sleep.
And all the clothes she changed were taken to the kitchen to fill the stove, without leaving any flaws, and then the old grandma hurried to see the general and his wife.
After a good night's sleep, Lianyi entered the backyard of the Meng Mansion and was one step closer to successfully marrying the prince.
Ripple woke up early the next day. Under the care of her old nanny, she wore a new lotus-colored peony skirt with dark patterns, a bun with a falling cloud, and a set of multicolored tourmaline hair and face. She looked even more charming and charming. Then I went to pay my respects to the general and his wife.
General Meng and his wife had been waiting for her for a long time. Although they were very satisfied with Vice General Xia's daughter after hearing what Nanny Meng said last night, they were still a little worried after not seeing the real person.
"General, madam, Nanny Meng has accompanied the young lady to pay her respects. I see that the young lady's face has improved a lot."
After Mrs. Meng's maid hurriedly entered the hall, she smiled. said.
"Well, don't let Lianyi wait for the communication, let them come in directly."
Mrs. Meng said immediately.
“Yes, madam.”
General Meng took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and then whispered:
“Madam, I have put you in a difficult situation. "I know that you have no choice but to do this. The emperor is getting older and more suspicious. He wants to pave the way for the prince before he dies. I understand, but he should not have his mind set on my daughter."
< br>
Mrs. Meng's voice was a little cold.
"Madam, be careful what you say!"
Mrs. Meng's eyes were already red. She took a long breath and suppressed the unwillingness in her heart.
Who can understand her mood? Her daughter has passed away but she can’t even express her condolences. She has to happily prepare for her daughter’s wedding, and she can’t even cry.
General Meng looked at his wife who was trying to calm down and felt uncomfortable. The family just gave away their little daughter last night, and now they have to let another girl occupy the little daughter's yard and bear the burden. The daughter's name is used to marry.
Ripple saw General Meng and Mrs. Meng unobstructed. General Meng was about fifty years old and had white hair on his temples, but he was still very imposing sitting there. He looked like a decisive person in killing.
Mrs. Meng's face looked a little haggard. Even if she used makeup to cover it up, she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.
"Daughter, please send greetings to your father and mother!"
Lianyi performed a standard blessing gift, making it impossible to find anything wrong.
But neither General Meng nor his wife responded. Mrs. Meng waved her hand to Aunt Meng and said:
"Mammy, please go down first. We have something to say to her."
"Yes!"
Mother Meng responded immediately, and then nodded to the two people above her, hinting Lianyi behaved well, then exited the hall, and closed the door considerately.
“Sit down and talk.”
Mrs. Meng said lightly.
"Mrs. Xie."
Lianyi sat down obediently, then raised his head and looked directly at the two people above him, and said before they spoke:
"Xia Meng has already told the little girl the whole story. I have to come for the sake of the Xia family, which is how I repay the kindness of the Xia family.
I know that Miss Meng is gone. Please forgive me. Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend until I get on the sedan. I will try my best. To cooperate with you, I just hope that the two of you will not be exposed and others will see the clues."
Mrs. Meng, who originally wanted to say something, was looking straight at Ripple, her eyes changing. Test.
"Madam, don't look at me like this, and don't make me angry. After all, I didn't voluntarily take over your daughter's identity.
The Meng family has no choice but to do so, and I also have my own last resort. I hope that in the future, Before I go out, everyone can get along more peacefully, and I won't be an eyesore in front of the madam. Because of my poor health, the madam will skip her daughter's greetings. "
Lianyi said calmly.
"Go down! Do what you should do, we will not treat you badly."
"Yes, madam."
Lianyi stood up, gave a blessing, then turned and left the hall.
Mother Meng, who was guarding the door, looked at Ripple with a scrutinizing gaze. Ripple just smiled back and returned to Liufang Garden.
Perhaps because Lianyi’s words were too straightforward, or perhaps General Meng didn’t want to cause trouble, since they met that day, Lianyi never went to say hello, but just stayed at Liufang Garden to recuperate and embroider her dowry. , the General's Mansion gradually became lively.
Time passed very quickly. Half a month later, the wedding team from the Imperial City finally arrived at the border. The eunuch who announced the decree read out the emperor’s imperial edict for marriage, and personally handed the edict into Lianyi’s hands. He also saw According to legend, the frail and sickly daughter of the Meng family.
Lianyi took the imperial edict with both hands, smiled and thanked Eunuch Cao, and then returned to the backyard after showing his face.
