Chapter 553 Getting Married

"What can I encounter? It's just that I figured it out during the time you were away. I still care about you. But don't feel any burden. Just think carefully. I won't force you. If you don't want to, it's okay. I'm not the kind of person who will force you. We can still be friends if we can't be husband and wife. It doesn't matter."

When she said this, it was as if she was talking about what dinner tonight would be like. She was so calm that Xing Zhao felt a little flustered.

Xing Zhao has been hanging around in various banquets over the years, and naturally has been favored by some women. Therefore, he has more or less received some handkerchiefs, sachets, or words that express his feelings, but it always carries some girlish shyness and a hazy feeling.

Xia Meng's direct approach made Xing Zhao not know what to do for a while, as if he was the shy woman at the moment.

After a short silence, Xia Meng spoke when she heard footsteps coming outside.

"It must be Mr. Leng who is here to see me. I'll leave first. Keep the things. We'll see you next year."

Then she put on her veil and walked out of the tent. As expected, she saw Mr. Leng. When he looked at her, he looked familiar and said.

"Miss Xia, let's go first. We have to hurry."

"Okay, let's go now."

When the two of them left, they were not dragging their feet at all. Instead, when Xing Zhao reacted, they were almost at the gate of the military camp.

He rushed out of the tent and ran all the way to Xia Meng. It was not a long distance, but he looked a little red-faced, and then asked.

"Are you serious?"

"Although I am not a gentleman, I never speak falsely or deceitfully."

Xing Zhao smiled softly after hearing this, and then replied to her.

"Okay, I agree. We'll get married when you come back."

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"What's there to think about? I've been through half of my life, and it's rare to meet someone like you. If I'm indecisive, wouldn't I be pushing away a good marriage?"

After hearing what he said, Xia Meng couldn't help but bend her eyebrows, and then patted Piaoxue on his shoulder and said.

"Okay, then wait for me to come back."

"Well, be careful on the road."

The marriage of the two was decided in just a few words. They were calm, but the people around them were stunned. After a while, there was a fierce noise. Everyone was curious, how come Xing Zhao got engaged after this person came?

"Brother Xing, what's the situation? Is this your wife who won't marry into the family? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?"

Xing Zhao laughed a few times. In fact, he didn't think that he would get engaged like this an hour ago, so he couldn't answer this question at the moment, but one thing was certain.

Xia Meng really became his wife-to-be.

When the news reached Gu Shaoyu's ears, he was not too surprised. With Xing Zhao's age and Xia Meng's personality, if this matter was settled, they must have thought it through and talked it through.

So he was calm.

He just said to Xing Zhao who was still smiling foolishly.

"I'll send the news to my aunt first. She will definitely make a big fuss. But after you get married, do you want to settle in Jinling City or Sui'an City?"

"Sui'an City, Xia Meng has a good relationship with my cousin's wife. If it's too far away, I'm afraid she won't agree."

"You're soft-hearted before you get married?"

Ni Yang joked on the side. After hearing this, Xing Zhao was no less enthusiastic and immediately retorted.

"You want to be soft-hearted, but do you think you have a wife who can make you soft-hearted? I am different. I have one, and I am willing to do it."

"Look at it, look at it, your expression really deserves a beating. Wait, when the weather gets better, I will let Lao Xue give you more training. I want to see how much strength you still have to show off with us?"

Xing Zhao looked indifferent, and acted as if he was not afraid in front of everyone.

Gu Shaoyu watched them making a fuss, feeling both happy and sad. With Luo Yuan's age and temperament, if he were still alive, it would be time for him to get married.

It was snowing heavily, Wangzhou was like this, and Sui'an City was also like this.

When everyone was eating Laba porridge, Du Jingyi couldn't help but sigh.

"I've had a comfortable year. My cousin Zhao's marriage has been arranged. My aunt has also written to me saying that she will come north after the New Year to supervise the wedding. My brother-in-law's transfer order has also arrived. He is the governor of Xuanzhou, and he is promoted to the sixth rank. It's all good news."

"Who said it wasn't? I almost cried when your brother-in-law knew about this. If it weren't for the old and the young, I'm afraid he would really speak out. It's a chance that I've been waiting for all these years."

Du Jingyi only told his parents about the Xuanzhou matter after it was settled, but He Shilin and Du Jingxiang and his wife were kept in the dark until they were about to set off for Pingzhou, and then they found out that their family had helped to arrange so much.

How could He Shilin not be moved?

Although Pingzhou was his hometown and his parents were both there, he had been there for all these years, but he didn't make any progress, so he didn't think his hometown was that good.

Now that he can leave that place and work in Xuanzhou, it is also a brand new beginning for him. The most important thing is that they don’t have to worry about whether the child should stay in Sui’an City.

Du Jingyi smiled and then said.

"This is all thanks to my cousin Zhao. He helped to deal with it before he left. If you want to thank him, prepare a creative gift and send it to him when he gets married, so that he can know your gratitude."

Her words made Du Jingxiang nod his head, and then he promised.

"Don't worry, there are still several months to go. I will definitely think of a good way to send this gift sincerely and decently."

Mrs. Du saw that her eldest daughter was now relaxed, much better than when she just returned to Sui'an City, and the transfer order of her eldest brother-in-law also solved a lot of problems. At least they must stay in Sui'an City, so she interrupted and asked.

"Everything else is easy to say, but what about the two elders of the He family? If it were you, I would buy a house in Sui'an City and bring them over. It would be convenient for you, the children, and the eldest brother-in-law to settle down here. He wouldn't have to worry about his parents being left unattended at home. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

Mrs. Du's suggestion was of course good, but Du Jingxiang was a little unsure.

"My parents-in-law are old, and they say they want to return to their roots. I don't know if they are willing to move to Sui'an City. Let me write to ask them. If they are willing, we will find a house!"
