Chapter 773
"Come on, Qian'er, this is Lin Ming."

After the neighbor left, old man Zhou called out his daughter to let Zhou Qian'er meet Xia Mingxuan, and said, "Send Boy Lin back and see what his house needs to clean up."

It is inevitable for a man to live by himself in a mess, and the two families are separated by a courtyard wall. Old man Zhou is very relieved of his daughter.

"Then please trouble Miss Qian'er."

Xia Mingxuan was a little dizzy from drinking, his mouth was dry and his body reeked of alcohol.

In fact, these wines are nothing to him. He drinks flowers and wines in brothels on a day and night cycle, especially during the days when Mo Yan got married, as long as he thinks of his beloved woman in someone else's bed, he can't wait to vomit a mouthful of blood .

"Brother Lin Ming, slow down."

Zhou Qian'er shyly said, "It's hot in summer, and the two of us were covered in sweat after walking two steps. After entering the yard, she closed the door first, and then looked at the furnishings at home according to what her father said.

If the conditions of the family are good, and it is close to the water, she will definitely marry here. This is a good opportunity for her.

There is a well in the yard next door, which makes Zhou Qianer very satisfied.There are no more than five households with wells in the Northland.

It costs seven or eight taels of silver to dig a well, which is enough to marry a daughter-in-law. Who has this spare money?Every household went to the river to fetch water.If you get married, it will be very convenient to carry water in the future.

Zhou Qian'er noticed that she was looking at the courtyard with the attitude of her own family, rubbed the hem of her clothes shyly, and followed Xia Mingxuan into the inner room.

It's not as messy as imagined, the house is well-organized, the main reason is that Xia Mingxuan really can't stand the messy conditions, such as bed curtains, window screens, quilts, etc. are all newly replaced, and for the sake of elegance, there are two potted flowers in the house.

Zhou Qian'er had never seen this before, and she immediately fell in love with the inner room's attire. What her father said was right, Lin Ming has a family background, maybe more than a dozen taels of silver!
"belch……"

Xia Mingxuan hiccupped, and took off his coat pretending to be dizzy. His skin was very fair. He was exposed to the sun as a beggar and turned a wheat color. For a man, he was very attractive.

Zhou Qian'er blushed, she should have left immediately, but she stood there in a daze.

Xia Mingxuan pretended that she didn't exist, his eyes were gloomy, he dropped his clothes frequently, not even leaving the bottom of his trousers, and went to the yard to wash naked.

"Brother Lin Ming, you..."

Zhou Qianer's blush turned into an apple, her eyes sneaked unconsciously, she took two steps back, there was a stone behind her, she leaned forward, and was completely chilled by the sudden water basin.

Lying down with drips of water, she could see her curvy figure at a glance. Her skin was not particularly fair and tender, but it had the unique freshness of a small family girl, which made Xia Mingxuan's heart flutter.

"I, I'm going back!"

After all, it was the home of an unmarried girl, Zhou Qian'er hid her face and fled, Xia Mingxuan suppressed her desire, now is not the time to act.

After Zhou Qian'er went back, she told old man Zhou what she had seen and heard. After discussing with her father and daughter, they both felt that Xia Mingxuan was good, good-tempered, straightforward, and even gave pork belly to neighbors, which was very generous.

However, the woman still cannot take the initiative to propose a marriage.When he was free, old man Zhou invited Xia Mingxuan over for dinner, revealing his intention of getting married.

"Sister Qian'er's craftsmanship is pretty good."

Xia Mingxuan pretended not to understand. He grew up in a wealthy family, and he hated other people playing tricks, not being able to get on the stage, making people disgusted.

Marrying Zhou Qian'er, he was willing in his heart, and he had someone to serve him. In his current situation, he couldn't go to a flower house to find a flower girl to relieve him, and he didn't want to go to a cheap brothel. Although Zhou Qian'er was not so beautiful, she could make do with it.

But this is not the most important thing. Hearing neighbors say that the man in black was found sneaking around at night, Xia Mingxuan was afraid that the barbarians would come to arrest him, so he was very worried.

His father and mother are dead, and there is no need for the rest of the Hou family to live. He wants to wait and see what happens, and look for a good opportunity to contact his sister Xia Ruoxue.

"Boy Lin, the last time Qian'er came back from your yard, she was covered in water, on the famous festival..."

Seeing that Xia Mingxuan didn't answer, old man Zhou's expression turned ugly. The two of them were alone in the same room. Lin Ming didn't know that he proposed to marry him and pretended to be confused. Isn't this too stupid?
After thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with being uncommon, this kid is pork belly when he makes a move, presumably Qian'er will be able to be the master of the house and control the money after marrying him.

The two had their own thoughts, and after the old man Zhou said the words, Xia Mingxuan agreed, but he had never been married, and he didn't know the process, so there would be a lot of dowry gifts, so he tried to make the process as simple as possible.

Xia Mingxuan and Zhou Qian'er's wedding was scheduled on the [-]th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and it was very hasty. Zhou Qian'er originally thought that they would get married in July, and the seventh day of the seventh month would be a good day.

July and a half is the folk Hungry Ghost Festival, and July is also known as the ghost month. Xia Mingxuan felt that it was not auspicious enough, so he moved the wedding date forward as if he couldn't wait.

June [-]th was the hottest day in June. Before the hour, the sun was scorching hot. The trees at the entrance of the alley were seriously short of water, and the leaves were wilted and curled.

Mo Yan was walking on the streets of Kyoto, and immediately looked around greedily. Seeing the people in front of the market, she wanted to take a stroll.

The palace was deserted, and as a high-ranking empress, she saw only a few faces every day besides bringing the little buns. She desperately wanted to change the scene.

Wan Tu Yuling handed Mo Yan a mask after she came down to the morning court. The couple had changed their disguises and wandered around the west of the capital.

The secret guards sent the latest investigation progress. Xia Ruoxue had a small courtyard in the west of the city. She had visited several times before leaving the capital.

There is no one in the small courtyard now, the gate is closed, and from the crack of the door, weeds grow very high in the courtyard, and it is a bit dilapidated, as if no one has been there for a long time.

"If Xia Ruoxue had a secret, she couldn't hide it in the Hou's mansion. The Hou's mansion has been searched countless times by the imperial army, not even an ant will be spared."

Wan Yu Yuling said this because she just wanted to find a reason to take Mo Yan around the capital and label her as a mission, so that she could feel at ease.

"Husband, let's come during the day, shall we?"

Mo Yan looked left and right, there was no one around, and there was a dead end further on, the surrounding people were fairly well-to-do, and they were all single-family homes.

"It's safer for us to come during the day than at night if there are people watching around."

People always have habitual thinking, and it is easy to hide their bodies at night, so they like to act at night. Wan Qi Yuling made nonsense, but Mo Yan felt that it was very reasonable.

The two walked to the end of the front, jumped into the courtyard.

Xia Ruoxue's yard is small, although it looks desolate without people living in it, but it can't hide the exquisiteness of the past.

The doors of each room are unlocked, and there are traces of rough vandalism on them. The three hands who wanted to come to Kyoto came to steal when they learned that the owner was not at home after staying for a long time.

There were no valuable decorations in the inner room, Mo Yan tapped the wall lightly with her hands, doing it in style, and Wan Tu Yuling stood behind her smiling.
