Bai Yutian stood up and said, "Congratulations to both of you, your lovers finally got married."
He Junwei thanked him and said, "Thank you, Young Master Bai."
Xin'er's mother shouted at the gate: "The food is on the table, let's eat."
The four of them walked into the living room, and the five of them sat around the table, smiling happily.
Bai Yutian filled the five wine glasses with wine. He Junwei made a good start, picked up the wine glass and stood up to pay respect to the two elders and drank the wine. Bai Yutian filled the cups for the three of them. He Junwei and Xiner toasted the two elders together and drank the wine. Bai Yutian filled four glasses, stood up, offered a toast to Ning Zhenan and his wife, and drank them all in one gulp.
After three rounds of wine, the chopsticks are moving, the food is in your mouth, and your stomach is happy.
Since He Junwei and Bai Yutian didn't have time to have breakfast, they finished their bowl of rice quickly, and Xin'er filled them with a second bowl.
Ning Zhenan stopped his bowl and chopsticks and said warmly: "Xin'er, after dinner, you can go with Junwei. I will discuss the marriage with your big brother Bai. He has full authority to make the decision on behalf of his parents."
Xin'er and He Junwei were very surprised. Xin'er asked: "Father, mother, is Brother Bai...?"
Ning Zhenan replied: "He is your Uncle Bai's son, and he will be your eldest brother in the future. Let's toast him with a glass of wine."
Xiner picked up the wine glass, paid respect to Bai Yutian, and said, "Little sister, respect brother Bai."
Bai Yutian drank the wine in the glass and said, "Thank you sister."
Wang Xiulan said: "Xin'er, Junwei, if you have anything to do in the future, just discuss it with Tian'er."
Xin'er asked: "Father, mother, are you going on a long trip?"
Ning Zhenan said: "Your mother wants to go out for a walk and play around while her steps are still steady."
Xin'er asked: "Dad, if Junwei's father moved to another place to become an official, how would you find me?"
Wang Xiulan smiled and said: "You child, my own daughter, there is no reason why I can't find it. Isn't it true that your elder brother Bai is still in Quzhou? If your elder brother Bai also leaves Quzhou, please leave a message at Longwei Escort Bureau. I Just go there and ask."
Xin'er said: "Mom, why are you leaving?"
Wang Xiulan replied: "Clean up the house today and leave tomorrow morning."
He Junwei said to Bai Yutian: "Bai Yutian, let's stay here tonight."
Ning Zhenan smiled and said: "You kid, it's not like we won't see each other again in the future, wouldn't it be better to keep that good mood!"
He Junwei picked up the wine glass, saluted the two elders, and said, "Father, mother, it's up to you."
Ning Zhenan and his wife picked up the wine glasses, drank them slowly, and said, "Okay, next time we meet, remember to let us have a grandchild to hold."
Xin'er said shyly: "Dad, why are you talking about this? You're not married yet!"
He Junwei held Xiner's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, parents. If you don't have children, wouldn't you be treating my wife lightly?"
Bai Yutian finished his second bowl of rice, drank a few mouthfuls of soup, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Uncle, aunt, I'm full."
Wang Xiulan said: "It's up to you to pay more attention to Xin'er's matter."
Bai Yutian said: "Uncle, aunt, don't worry. The magistrate comes from a scholarly family, and everything will go well."
Ning Zhenan picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, drink this cup of reunion wine, and after dinner, you can go back to the city."
The five of them clinked glasses together, the wine was in their stomachs, and the food was in their mouths, and they were quickly finished.
Wang Xiulan went back to the room to help Xin'er pick up two sets of clothes and two or three pieces of jewelry, packed them one by one, and sent the child out of the house.
He Junwei held Xiner's hand, and together with Bai Yutian, they saluted Ning Zhenan and his wife and left reluctantly.
Wang Xiulan's eyes were filled with tears as she bid farewell to her daughter. When the sun shone, the golden light shone brightly.
Ning Zhenan held his wife in his arms and said comfortingly: "Birds grow up and leave their nests, and children grow up and leave their parents. Don't be too sad."
Wang Xiulan swallowed hard: "But that is a house of officials. We, ordinary people, always feel uneasy."
Ning Zhenan smiled and said: "Although we are ordinary people, our daughters are no worse than the children of wealthy families, or even worse. Not only are they beautiful, lively and cheerful, they are also simple-hearted, hard-working, intelligent, reasonable and considerate." I wonder if that wealthy family could give birth to such a good daughter. Don’t worry, He Junwei’s kid has a good heart. If he can’t even treat such a good wife well, he would be extremely stupid.”
Wang Xiulan said: "But..."
Ning Zhen'an said: "There is nothing wrong with it. To believe in children is to believe in happiness. A couple's life depends on the couple. Parents' worries sometimes only do not help and have no effect. Besides, we should teach our children all the good things. Well, if she can't keep her own happiness, she can only blame herself for not being good at learning, and she can't blame others." He led his wife towards the house.
It is said that Bai Yutian and the others left Shishi Village and crossed the Wuxi River. He Junwei wanted to return the horses. The three of them rode on them and returned to Quzhou Mansion along the original route. On the road, they met He Junwei's two servants who were escorting the bride price and asked them to press Return the way you came.
As the sun set in the west, the three of them returned to the capital city of Quzhou. Bai Yutian handed the reins of the horse to Xiner and said goodbye at the south gate.
Bai Yutian walked quickly all the way, and half an hour passed before he returned to Qu Mansion.
Zhang Yan'er had nothing to do and kept guarding the gate of Qu Mansion, hoping that Bai Yutian would appear in her sight soon. Bai Yutian did not disappoint her. The moment the black curtain fell, she appeared in front of Zhang Yan'er. Zhang Yaner greeted Bai Yutian, held his arm, and said softly: "Brother Bai, you are so worrying, can you take me with you from now on?"
Bai Yutian said: "Okay, take Miss Yanyan with you in the future." He wanted to go to the house.
Zhang Yan'er got out of Bai Yutian's arms, started to think, and whispered: "Brother Bai, why don't you sleep under the roof tonight?"
Bai Yutian asked deliberately: "If you don't sleep under the eaves, where will you sleep? You can't be at the door of my bedroom, right?"
Zhang Yan'er lowered her smile and replied in a low voice: "Isn't there a bed in the room?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "That's where you slept. It has your name written on it. How dare I."
Zhang Yan'er said shyly: "You dare to touch a heroine like Sister Yingying, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Yutian said: "That's different. Cui Nuxia kowtows to me, we are a legitimate couple."
Zhang Yaner whispered: "Kowtowing is so easy, how about we just kowtow tonight?"
Bai Yutian gently brushed Yan'er's smiling face and walked towards the gate of Qu Mansion. As he walked, he said: "This kowtow can't be done rashly. The orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, and the joy of two people should not be missing. "
Zhang Yan'er followed Bai Yutian's footsteps and asked in a low voice: "Did you have these when you kowtowed to Yingying?"
Bai Yutian said: "No way. I offered her mother a glass of wine. The ancient predecessors acted as matchmakers, so I won't say that they are in love."
Zhang Yan'er said very disappointedly: "Then you can sleep under the roof."
Bai Yutian hummed and said with a smile: "Okay. When you are under the eaves, you can be a gentleman."
Zhang Yaner joked: "You are not a gentleman, you are a loyal watch dog."
Bai Yutian said: "A night watch dog is a night watch dog. It is better than nothing."
The two came to the living room and sat at the dining table. Bai Yutian picked up the wine glass and toasted Taoist Master Jingyin and Jiang Yufeng, deeply apologizing for keeping them waiting for so long.
Taoist Master Jingyin drank the wine and said, "How can you have fun outside today?"
Bai Yutian replied: "Quzhou Prefecture is surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, so there's a reason why you can't have fun."
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "You are having fun, but you are suffering for me."
Bai Yutian smiled and said, "I'm playing with myself, why do you suffer so much?"
Jiang Yufeng, who was sitting aside, smiled and replied: "It's not hard to practice swordsmanship with sister Yan'er in the yard and support you in the escort agency."
Bai Yutian filled the wine glasses, toasted to Taoist Master Jingyin and Jiang Yufeng, and said: "That's really hard work, you two. I'm here to apologize. When I take over the position of the chief escort, I will treat you two to a drink." A nice glass of wine.”
Zhang Yaner said: "I want to drink too."
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "How can you have good wine without Miss Yanyan?"
Taoist Master Jingyin downed two glasses of wine, started eating the food, and said: "The day after tomorrow, everyone will be here. It's a good day to choose the chief escort. You have to be prepared, don't lose your aura when the time comes. .”
Bai Yutian glanced at Jiang Yufeng and said, "With Miss Yufeng here, her aura will never be defeated."
Jiang Yufeng smiled happily and said: "With the Taoist priest here, those guests who come to express condolences will be more considerate, and their aura will definitely be unbeatable."
Bai Yutian smiled slightly and ate the meal with Zhang Yan'er. After eating two bowls of rice and a small bowl of chicken soup, I felt my body was very warm, so I got down from the table and washed up.
When Zhang Yaner saw Bai Yutian leaving, she said goodbye to her husband and Jiang Yufeng. She returned to the backyard, entered the bedroom, sat down in front of the dressing table, and took care of herself, so that she could tie that beautiful emotion into a single knot. Trapped in Bai Yutian's heart.
Bai Yutian came to the backyard and walked to Zhang Yan'er. He was about to say good night to her, but as he spoke, Zhang Yan'er threw herself into his arms. Zhang Yan'er was as tender as water, but Bai Yutian's affection was really uncontrollable. The sea of love surged, so he picked up Zhang Yan'er and walked towards the edge of the bed.
Appearance comes from the heart, without self or appearance. Emptiness arises from the heart, there is no emptiness without self.
As soon as he put Zhang Yan'er on the bed, he was overwhelmed with desire when faced with Zhang Yan'er's beauty and tenderness. When he was about to take off Zhang Yan'er's clothes, he suddenly realized that this was what a couple should do, and he had a legitimate wife Cui Yingying, so he couldn't help but He retracted his outstretched hand.
Bai Yutian knew very well that Cui Yingying was a woman who could not be forgiven by words. He had no reason to choose to hurt her, and he did not dare to hurt her. He has always felt in his heart that his fall in love with Cui Yingying, just like his fall in love with Zhang Yan'er, was spontaneous and without any external help. Just from seeing each other at one glance, a beautiful wish suddenly grew in my heart, and they were a match made in heaven.
But a good man should be as loyal to love as a woman. He finally realized that he was wrong. He shouldn't have judged people by their appearance in the first place. He shouldn't have secretly fallen in love with Zhang Yan'er, and he shouldn't have provoked her out of trouble to make her realize that he was someone who could empathize with someone else.
