The people who went to the capital to pick up their relatives had been arranged before Qin He came back, and they were all relatives and friends of the Qin family.

In order to show their importance to the bride, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, must accompany Qin He to the capital to pick up the bride. Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er have never been to the capital, and they are not willing to miss the opportunity to win the favor of the bride in advance.

Of course I want to go together.

It's just that Qin He won the first prize and was awarded an official position. On that day, there were many more guests who came to congratulate him than when he won the first prize. Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao were so busy at their age that the couple was so busy.

I was left at home to help greet the guests.

Zhao Cao'er was very dissatisfied and complained to Qin Chuan privately: "Last year, my father asked my eldest brother and sister-in-law to accompany me when I was taking the Juren Examination; last month, I was promised that you would go for the Jinshi Examination, but my third brother had someone to take care of you and didn't make it; this is

The next time I went to Li's house to pick up a bride, my father gave this good thing to my eldest brother and sister-in-law again, and all the good things happened to them, and we couldn't even get a damn thing out of it!"

Qin Chuan felt unhappy, but he knew that this was not the fault of Mr. Qin, so he couldn't see Zhao Caoer's overt and covert accusations. He immediately said angrily: "The eldest brother is the eldest son, and it is only natural for him to accompany his third brother to marry him. What you are talking about is to make me want to get married."

If you have a fight with dad and eldest brother, will you get beaten again?"

Zhao Cao'er was so angry that she stretched out her hand and pinched Qin Chuan's waist: "Who am I doing this for? Is it for our second wife? My parents have three sons. You are not the eldest son, and you are not as promising as the third.

If you're neither up nor down in the middle, who can see you if you don't fight?"

Qin Chuan bared his teeth and pushed Zhao Cao'er away: "Don't tell me this. Even if dad prefers the eldest brother and the third brother in his heart, he has not treated us second bedroom badly! Just for the three new houses he just built, dad has also treated us second bedroom.

Yes, can't you learn from my sister-in-law and argue about nothing?"

After that, he rubbed the painful area on his waist. Seeing that Zhao Cao'er was so angry that he was about to rush over again, he hurriedly hid aside and said cursingly: "You are saying that my father is partial, why don't you just look at it?"

On your own? You are so biased towards the first and second treasures that they are all in the creaking nest. If the third treasure, Xueya, makes as much trouble as you do, will you still have to live this life?"

Zhao Cao'er never concealed his partiality and never thought there was anything wrong with it. He said confidently: "Our second wife must rely on the big treasure and the second treasure to continue the family line and prosper. If Xueya is a leader, I will also be partial."

She, she is a useless girl who made her miserable!"

As for the Three Treasures, she didn't even bother to mention them. She had always regarded the Three Treasures as a debt collector, which almost cost her her life. She didn't push the newborn Three Treasures into a urine bucket and drown her. She squeezed out the last bit of motherly love.

the result of.

Qin Chuan said with unabashed ridicule: "Huh, then you are not as good as dad. At least dad has not shortchanged our second wife. You can't wait to give everything to Dabao and Dabao, pretending that there are no Xueya and Sanbao!"

Zhao Caoer was so blocked that he couldn't speak. Not to mention how uncomfortable he felt, he simply said: "I don't care, put the third bedroom aside for now. Anyway, whatever the big bedroom has in the future, our second bedroom must also have something. If not, we will tell you

We have to fight for everything, don’t even think about holding me back!"

Qin Chuan was too lazy to pay attention, lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt, and fell asleep with his back to Zhao Cao'er.

When she didn't get a response, Zhao Caoer clenched her fists and punched the man twice on the back. Seeing that the man was sleeping like a dead pig without any reaction, she was so angry that she grinded her teeth, and finally fell asleep holding in her anger.

.

On the morning of March 19, Qin He took thirty or forty people to pick up relatives and headed to Le'an County. They had to go to the county town and take the ten carriages hired yesterday. If everything went well, they would arrive at the Number One Scholar's Mansion in the evening.

In addition to dozens of adults, there were also five children like Qin Xiaoxiao. Mr. Qin had promised to let them go to the capital to pick up the bride together. The few children had been looking forward to this and asked Xu Ze separately before the monthly holiday.

And the school took another five days off.

Along the way, a few little ones were like birds out of their cages, running back and forth very happily. Their voices were all chirping, and they talked most about where to go and what to eat.

For this reason, Dabao and Erbao specially brought the New Year's money that they had saved for several months. Before leaving, they worked hard with Zhao Cao'er and took a small sum from her pocket, which was almost the same as Sanbao and Xueya's New Year's money.

came back.

Qin Shan walked at the front carrying the wedding burden. He looked at the girl who was chasing after her with her short legs and said with distress: "Are you tired? If you are tired, let your third uncle carry you away."

Qin Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said crisply: "I'm not tired, I can walk to the city in one breath!"

Originally, her parents were not happy for her to follow them because they were afraid that she would get tired from running back and forth. If she complained that she was tired now, what would her parents do if they wanted to send her back? She wanted to go to Beijing to play with Brother Li, and she also had to take her eldest brother and the others to eat well.

Don’t go back for food!

It was just that the road was so difficult to walk on that her feet were sore.

Lin Qiuniang, who was behind the father and daughter, took two steps quickly, picked up her daughter and hugged her in her arms: "If you can walk to the city in one breath, I won't even want your feet."

Qin Xiaoxiao subconsciously hugged Lin Qiuniang's neck, and after realizing it, she said sheepishly: "Mom, I'm a big kid now, I don't need you to hold me!"

Lin Qiuniang held her daughter in her arms, weighed her, and patted her little buttocks: "While I still have the strength, I will hug you more. When you really grow up to be a big child, I won't be able to hold you even if I want to!"

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand Lin Qiuniang's mood, so he put his little face against hers and said with a smile: "When I grow up, I will carry you!"

Lin Qiuniang touched her head with a loving look on her face.

Qin Shan felt warm after hearing this and couldn't help teasing his daughter: ""Dad also hugs you from time to time. When you grow up, will you hug daddy?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at his father, who was tall and strong and had to stretch his hands to reach the top of his head even if he was held by his mother, and his little face wrinkled up.

Just when Qin Shan was feeling disappointed and thought the little girl didn't want to, she clenched her little fists and said solemnly: "From now on, I want to eat two bowls of rice every meal... No, I want to eat three bowls of rice. I will look taller than my father."

Be strong, so you can hold daddy!"

Before Qin Shan could be moved, Lin Qiuniang was startled and hurriedly pouted on the ground twice: "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, please don't listen to the little girl's prayers, don't let her grow up to be like her.

Dad looks like a bear!"

The three members of the family did not deliberately lower their voices, and everyone else heard clearly.

Originally, they were all amused by the little girl's bold words, but when they saw Lin Qiuniang's reaction, each of them burst out laughing: "Sister-in-law, the laughing girl will definitely not grow up to look like Brother Dashan, just rest assured.

Bar."

"It's just that my sister-in-law is too nervous! Let's not talk about anything else. Our laughing girl will definitely be a beautiful girl when she grows up. Even if she is as tall and strong as Brother Dashan, she will not worry about finding a good family."

"That's right, Xiao girl wants to stay at home and raise a wife. It would be better if she really grows up like a mountain. She won't be afraid that she won't be able to survive."

"..."

Everyone happily comforted Lin Qiuniang, and sincerely felt that it was not a bad thing for the little girl to grow taller and stronger. Of course, if she really wanted to grow taller and stronger than Qin Shan, that would definitely not work.

Lin Qiuniang felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't tell them about the little girl's miraculousness, so she had to say: "She is young and not sensible. I am afraid that in order to grow taller and stronger, she will eat too much and spoil her."

Qin Shan also reacted, pinched his daughter's little paws and said: "Little girl, you are beautiful when you are petite. If you are as tall and strong as me, you will be so worried that you can't sleep!"

After that, he scared the little girl: "You like to be beautiful the most. If you look like dad, you will be so ugly that no one will like you. Even your brother Li will dislike you. No one will like to play with you in the future. You

Isn’t it scary?”

"No, no, I don't dislike Xiaoxiao, I just like to play with Xiaoxiao!" Sanbao quickly ran forward, stood on tiptoes and took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, expressing his determination to Qinshan, while feeling in his heart

Another dark thought occurred:

It’s better if Mr. Jing dislikes Xiaoxiao, so Xiaoxiao can keep playing with him!

Qin Xiaoxiao, who was almost frightened by Qin Shan's words, held San Bao's hand tightly and replied with the same words: "I don't dislike San Bao either, I also like to play with San Bao!"

Qin Shan was extremely speechless, and was touched by the friendship between the siblings. He pinched the two little ones' heads and said, "Okay, okay, I can't speak to you."

Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao shook hands and laughed. At this moment, the siblings regarded each other as more important.

Lin Qiuniang was the only one who was worried. She was afraid that if this girl's ability to make things come true could be used on her, and she was really taller and stronger than her husband, she would be really worried.

With a few friends, the mountain road leading to the county town was not boring at all. We arrived at the county town faster than expected and got on the carriage bound for the capital.

Ten carriages mean perfection. Tomorrow's return trip will not only pick up the bride, but also the bride's maids. As for the bride's dowry, it will be delivered to the Qin family by the Li family today and is already on the way.

.

Originally, a sedan chair had to be used to pick up the bride, but the sedan chair was too slow and could not catch up with the auspicious time for the wedding, so a horse-drawn carriage had to be used instead.

The road went smoothly, and we met the Li family who were delivering the dowry halfway. They said hello and continued on their way in the opposite direction.

The people picking up the bride looked through the car window at the ten carriages tied with red silk and loaded with dowries. They all envied Qin He for his good luck in marrying a lady from an official family. The Yue family was so generous that they paid such a dowry

Lots of stuff.

Although it was unclear what was contained in the box, looking at the ruts on the carriage, it was obvious that the contents were real.

Qinshan Lin Qiuniang was also shocked by the Li family's generosity, and she was secretly happy for Qin He. This generous dowry was enough to show that the Li family valued his son-in-law.

In the evening, the carriage drove to the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

At this time, a red lantern had been raised on the gate of Zhuangyuan Mansion. The Li family sent stewards and people to clean and decorate the inside so that the people receiving the relatives could rest directly when they arrived.

Not to mention how novel it was for a group of people who had never been to the capital, let alone lived in such a spacious house. After Qin Xiaoxiao had dinner, she pestered Qinshan Lin Qiuniang to take her to Brother Li to play.

After two hours of driving on the mountain road and several hours of riding in a carriage, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang were so tired that their bones were almost falling apart. They had to get up early to pick up the bride at Li's house tomorrow. How could they have the energy to take her to find someone, not to mention that they didn't even have the energy to take her to find someone.

I don’t know where Jingheng lives.

Before the couple could coax Qin Xiaoxiao, the steward of the Li family walked in with a group of people. Who else could it be if it wasn't Jing Heng?

After not seeing each other for two months, Jing Heng seemed to have grown taller, and his facial features had also undergone less obvious changes. He looked more and more majestic. However, when he saw Qin Xiaoxiao, his aura suddenly faded.

Come down.

"Brother Li!" Qin Xiaoxiao was so surprised that she jumped up to Jing Heng: "Brother Li, I was going to find you, how did you know I was here?"

Jing Heng pinched her cheek and replied: "Let someone keep an eye on this place in advance. I'll know as soon as you get off the carriage."

Qin Xiaoxiao desperately wanted to go out and play. She pinned her hopes on Jingheng, so she quickly flattered him: "Brother Li is so awesome. I don't know where to find brother Li!"
