A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 311 The Xia Family Is Her Only Mother

It was pitch black at night, and a few dim yellow lamps were lit under the eaves of the carriage, swaying as the carriage moved forward.

The broken light vaguely illuminates a small piece of road ahead.

Chongxian and the others have strong night vision, and they can ride safely at night.

Meng Yan opened the curtain and looked out. With the faint lights, she could already tell that they had reached the outskirts of the city, passing the place where bandits blocked the road and robbed them.

It's just that some time has passed, and there is no trace left here.

How many things are right and wrong.There are no more bandits here, and those who leave will never return.

The closer you are to the city, the more familiar the road is, and you can walk faster than before.

Later, a light could be seen faintly in the darkness, as if it was showing them the way.

As he got closer, the light became clearer and clearer, until finally, the outline of the city tower and the sparse moving figures at the gate of the city were reflected.

"Ah!"

Meng Yan heard Mrs. Xia's voice, and thought she had heard it wrong, but as soon as she lifted the door curtain, she saw Mrs. Xia's thin figure running in a hurry.

But there was another guy who ran faster, running ahead of Xia Shi, dancing and yelling while running, and rushed to his eyes in an instant.

When Meng Yan got off the carriage, it jumped up.

Meng Yan smiled and stretched out her hand to hug it with ease, it's not a monkey who doesn't return.

Monkey Bugui hung its paws around Meng Yan's neck, and while whining, it rubbed Meng Yan's chin.A pair of eyes are round and sparkling, and the intimacy is very pleasing.

At the same time, Zuo Chengjin also came forward to greet the chief political envoy.

Of course, the first time the chief envoy got off the car was to show concern for King Yin Wu and the Queen Concubine Zhun, but seeing their family reunion, he was a little perceptive, so he stopped in time so that the past would not spoil the scenery, so he greeted Zuo Chengjin face to face Two sentences.

Panting, Xia ran to Meng Yan, pulled her and looked back and forth, seeing that Meng Yan was intact, she was completely relieved.

Meng Yan said: "Mother, why are you here? It's so cold, why don't you sleep and wait at home?"

Before she had time to speak, Xia's eye circles turned red.

Her daughter had never been away from her for so long, and these days she was worried every day, for fear that something would happen when Meng Yan came back.

Xia choked with sobs and said, "I knew in the afternoon that you were coming back tonight. You asked me to sleep and wait at home alone. How could I sleep. You still know to come back!"

Not seeing her for a few days, Meng Yan saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and pretended to be angry again, her heart ached slightly, she wiped the corners of Xia Shi's eyes, and said, "I'm back, right?"

Xia Shi said even more bitterly: "If you come back later, I don't think you need to get married anymore!"

Meng Yan said: "I'm counting the time, I'm sure I can make it back."

Xu Chenfang couldn't move up and down due to his injury, so he greeted Zuo Chengjin in the carriage, and then Xia Shi went to check on his condition.

A group of people couldn't exchange greetings at the gate of the city with the cold wind blowing. After a while, they went to their respective resting places.

The chief envoy took Xu Yang and the officials to stay in the courtyard where Zuo Chengjin was placed, and Xu Shenfang's followers went back to Xu's house to settle down. Xu Shenfang didn't go back with him, he went to Meng Yan's house.

Otherwise, he would have to go there tomorrow and the next day, and it would be a lot of trouble to go back and forth.

After returning home, Mrs. Xia was full of energy and didn't feel sleepy. She hurried into the kitchen and said, "You guys are busy on your way. You haven't had dinner yet. Wait. I left some food, go heat it up." It’s ready to eat as soon as it’s hot.”

At that time, when Meng Yan entered the yard, she took a look and thought she had entered the wrong house.

Is this completely new scene my own home?

I saw lanterns and festoons hanging in the house, hanging under the eaves and on the treetops, sweeping away the original desolation, and filling it with a prosperous and festive atmosphere.

Anyone who comes to this house will know that a happy event is going to be held.

This situation made Meng Yan feel complicated.Not to say unhappy, but it seems far more than happy.

It seems that when it comes to you, it is useless to be nervous again.

In addition to nervousness, there are other unspeakable emotions.

From the beginning of her arrival in this world, facing Xia's half-way mother, it was impossible to really get close to her from the heart. All Meng Yan could do was fulfill her duty of care and support.

But as time went by and getting along with each other for a long time, the Xia family was always there for her, and some things slowly changed.

Meng Yan looked at the red silk in the courtyard, and knew that it was prepared by the Xia family when she was not at home. For Meng Yan's marriage, even if she was reluctant, she had to actively make arrangements.

Meng Yan suddenly had the feeling that she was about to be married off by her mother.Even though she knew that the life after marriage would not be too different, but inexplicably, her heart felt like a peeled bitter grapefruit, extremely bitter.

It doesn't matter whether Xia Shi and her original mother and daughter are her mother or not, Meng Yan only knows that Xia Shi is her only mother in this life.

This is the relative who loves her the most and loves her the most without asking for anything in return.

Meng Yan looked around in the yard, and when she went to the kitchen, there was already a fire in the kitchen, and soon the water mist filled the air.

Monkey Buguihuan squatted down in front of the stove to help light the fire, and the light of the fire made its little face blush.It saw Meng Yan leaning against the door, grinning at her.

Xia's back was busy standing by the stove, steaming the food and baking some new cakes.

Meng Yan leaned against the doorway and asked with a smile, "Mother, did you arrange all these at home?"

Xia's voice said lightly: "I can't do so much by myself. You can't climb up to hang the lamps and silks on the high place, and Xiao Li and the others also came to help a lot."

Meng Yan said: "What are you in such a hurry for? When I come back, I can spend a day to make arrangements tomorrow."

Xia Shi said: "What if you come back late and have no time to prepare?"

Meng Yan was silent for a while, and said: "If it's too late to come back before the wedding date, wouldn't mother's hard work preparing these things be in vain?"

Mrs. Xia scooped up soup in the pot with a long spoon in her hand, and said to herself: "You said it lightly, the important event in the girl's family is only once in a lifetime, once you miss it, it will be an irreparable regret. Whether you make it in time or not If you have to come back, Mother will make thorough preparations for you, how can you be careless about this kind of thing?"

Meng Yan walked behind Xia Shi and put her arms around her from behind.

Xia Shi was startled, the long spoon in his hand shook, and some of the soup spilled out, and said: "Don't interrupt, go wash your hands, you will be eating soon."

Meng Yan smiled and said, "Mother."

"What?" Xia Shi asked.

Meng Yan said, "It's nothing, I'm just calling you."

Xia Shi also smiled and said, "I'm fine after calling me. Could it be that you're still acting like a baby? She's going to get married the day after tomorrow, so she's still acting like a baby." The expression on her face was gentle and affectionate.

Meng Yan said: "Oh, I don't act like a baby too often, just this once, mother just bear with it."
