Chapter 978 Everyone Is Well
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 was no one else at the back door of the Xia family except the four bearers carrying the sedan chair. At this time, Xia Meng was still making his final instructions to his daughter inside the back door:
"Qingran, this is the last time I call your name like this. 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. Take good care of it. Own."
"Yes, father, my daughter has remembered it."
Lianyi lowered his 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 being a father."
"Father's painstaking daughter understands that when her daughter becomes rich in the future, she will never forget what her father has done. And Aunt Lang, you must take more care of her."
Ripple didn't forget to mention Xia Qingran's mother.
"You don't have to worry about any of this. She is my pillow. As a father, I will not treat her badly."
Deputy General Xia felt that the emotional connection was almost complete, so he opened the back door and watched Ripple get on the sedan by himself. 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 she took off all her makeup. She wanted to see the Meng family with Cuizhu's face. .
The sedan made a long circle around the city, probably to avoid arousing suspicion, and it was only carried in through the back door of General Meng's Mansion after half an hour.
After entering the door, there was an old woman who helped Lianyi get on another soft sedan. This time she did not stop and went directly into the backyard, finally stopping in front of the "Liufangyuan" door.
"Miss, please get off the sedan. My servant will help you wash and change your clothes first."
The old grandma helped Lianyi into the boudoir, and then she spoke.
"It's time for you, grandma."
Ripple nodded and then took off the veil on her face.
The old woman's sharp eyes swept across Ripple's face, and then she personally served Ripple to bathe, while checking the Gonggong sand on Ripple's body and arms.
Lianli pretended not to know, took a quick bath, twirled her hair and put on a set of satin pajamas. She drank another 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've written it down."
Ripple covered him with the satin quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
All the clothes she changed were taken to the kitchen to fill the stove without leaving any flaws. Then the old mama hurried to see the general and his wife.
After a good night's sleep, Ripple 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 grandma, she wore a new lotus-colored peony skirt with dark patterns, a bun with clouds, 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 come with the young lady to pay her respects. I see that the young lady's face looks much better."
Mrs. Meng's maid hurriedly entered the hall and said with a smile.
"Well, don't let Lianyi wait for the communication, let them come in directly."
Mrs. Meng said immediately.
"Yes, ma'am."
General Meng took a sip of tea, put the tea cup down, and then whispered:
"Madam, I've put you in a difficult position."
"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 that, but he should not have his mind set on my daughter."
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 died but she couldn't even express her condolences. She had to happily prepare for her daughter's wedding, and she couldn'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 want another girl to occupy the little daughter's yard and get married in her daughter's name.
Lianyi 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. At first glance, he was a decisive and decisive person.
Mrs. Meng's face was a little haggard, and even though 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 ceremony, and no one could find anything wrong.
However, neither General Meng nor Madam Meng responded. Madam Meng waved her hand to Madam Meng and said:
"Mommy, please go down first. We have something to say to her."
"yes!"
Mother Meng responded immediately, then nodded to the two people above her, implying that Lianyi was well behaved, and then exited the hall, closing the door considerately.
"Sit down and talk."
Mrs. Meng said lightly.
"Thank you, Madam."
Lianyi sat down calmly, then raised her head and looked directly at the two people above her, and said before they spoke:
"Xia Meng has already told my daughter the whole story. I have to come here for the sake of the Xia family, so I can repay the Xia family's kindness.
I know that Miss Meng is gone. Please express your condolences. Even if you are just pretending, you must pretend to be there until I get on the sedan. I will try my best to cooperate with you. I just hope that you two will not become the ones who reveal your secrets and others will see the clues. "
Mrs. Meng, who originally wanted to say something, was looking straight at Ripple, her eyes changing unpredictably.
"Madam, don't look at me like this, and don't get angry at me. 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 everyone can get along more peacefully before I go out, and I will not appear in front of the madam and be an eyesore. Because of her poor health, the madam spared her daughter's greetings. Bar. "
Lianyi said calmly.
"Go down! Do what you should do, and we won't treat you badly."
"Yes, ma'am."
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 it was because Lianyi's words were too straightforward, or perhaps General Meng didn't want to cause trouble. After meeting that day, Lianyi never went to say goodbye. She just stayed at Liufangyuan to recuperate and embroider her dowry. The General's Mansion also slowly It 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 decree granting marriage and handed the decree personally to Lianyi. He also met the legendary frail and sick member of the Meng family. Miss.
Lianyi took the imperial edict with both hands, smiled and thanked Eunuch Cao, and then returned to the backyard after showing his face.
