The news that Xie Xiaolian was getting married spread throughout the camp.

Although shrouded in the haze of war, the camp was still struck by the good news from top to bottom, and there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere.

The soldiers guarding the border are really hard-working. Most of them have been rooted in this bitter cold place since they were young adults. Most of their life-long events are completed at home. After getting married, their wives and children are all in their hometowns. There are very few family members who accompany the army like Vice General Chen's family.

The border military camp is located in a bitter cold place, and wars have occurred repeatedly in the past two years. Unlike before, most people cannot go home to get married even if they reach the age of getting married.

Everything has to wait until the war is over.

Therefore, the soldiers were particularly enthusiastic about this happy event.

Red lanterns were hung high, and red happy characters were posted on each barracks.

Xie Xiaolian's barracks was cleaned clean by Bai Zhaomei and her subordinates. Mrs. Chen personally took the mother-in-law and maids beside her to decorate the new house and brought bright red bedding and red candles.

The third prince of the Rong Kingdom was captured by Bai Dazhuang. Although there was no news from the Rong Kingdom, everyone in the camp knew that a major war was about to break out between the two countries.

In war, in addition to victory and military exploits, there is also death and sacrifice.

No one knows who belongs to which category.

The unpredictable tomorrow and the uncertain outcome make everyone more and more actively participate in Xie Xiaolian and Xia Qinghe's marriage.

Even General Meng ordered that this happy event should be held in a lively manner.

The heavy snow that had fallen at dusk the previous day finally stopped in the early morning of the next day, and the sun shined golden light from the clouds.

After Bai Dazhuang and his party arrived in Ningcheng, the first sunny weather finally appeared.

And this day was also the day for them to go shopping in Ningcheng.

Bai Dazhuang led the people from Shenshu Village out of the camp amidst Bai Zhaomei's instructions. Xie Xiaolian called a few personal guards to follow.

There were two carriages accompanying him, whose main function was to pull things.

"I heard that the mutton soup in Ningcheng is delicious. I want to try it when I get here." Hanwa said with a smile.

"What's so good about mutton soup? Why don't you drink it in the military camp? I heard that there is a wine shop opened by people from the spinach country. The waiters in the shop all have green eyes and red hair. I don't believe that some people have green eyes. Let's go take a look." Chen Ergou said.

"What kind of spinach country? It's the country of Persia. What I want to see most is the beauty of the Hu people. She also has green eyes and red hair, and her waist is so weak when she dances." Liu Fugui said.

……

Bai Dazhuang listened to the discussions of the young men in Shenshu Village with excitement and novelty in his voice.

He thought of what his fifth brother had told him, and said, "Save it, everyone. The main reason we went to Ningcheng this time was to buy things for our family and buy a dowry for Qinghe's marriage. We don't dare to run around. Ningcheng has not been able to do anything in recent years." Great peace, everyone, please pay attention."

"Brother Da Zhuang, don't worry. Nothing will happen to us along the way, and it's even less likely that anything will happen in Ningcheng." Hanwa said.

"You can drink mutton soup, go to the wine shop in Spinach Country, and see the beauties of foreigners, but you can't be alone. We must all be together." Zhao Dachui said, "Dazhuang is also doing it for everyone's benefit. We are fine all the way. That's because we bumped into each other. Good luck, who knows if there will be any good luck in Ningcheng, so be careful."

Bai Dazhuang knew that everyone had a hard time delivering food. He was very excited when he heard that he was going to Ningcheng to see the world. Plus, they were all young men, so it was normal to be excited and curious.

He doesn't object to everyone broadening their horizons in Ningcheng, but they still have to be cautious.

He had to bring these people home safely.

So I gave a few more instructions.

"By the way, Da Zhuang, what kind of dowry should we buy for Xia Qinghe?" Zhao Dachui asked.

"We are fighting on the border. We are lacking everything. I don't know what Ningcheng has. What I want is to buy something practical." Bai Dazhuang said.If you marry a daughter in the Nanguan Mountain area, you will be provided with basic furniture, quilts, clothing and accessories. If you are particular about it, you will even have all the things you will produce after you get married.

Xia Qinghe and Xie Xiaolian got married in a hurry, so they definitely couldn't have everything in place like Nanguan Mountain, so they had to keep everything simple.

But Bai Dazhuang still hopes that the dowry he buys for Xia Qinghe will be decent. After all, Xia Qinghe has a constant relationship with the Bai family. Bai Dazhuang has already treated him as a girl. Secondly, it is not easy for Xia Qinghe to follow them all the way to the border. .

Bai Dazhuang brought a lot of money with him when he came to the border. At this time, he still had nearly a thousand taels left in his hand. After calculating the expenses of these people on the way back, after deducting the money to buy gifts for his family, he planned to use the remaining money to buy a dowry for Xia Qinghe.

"Dazhuang, we can't just spend money on you and Er Zhuang. We collected some money early in the morning and bought a dowry for Qinghe. Qinghe is also my sister who I watched grow up."

Zhao Dachui took out the money everyone collected and handed it to Bai Dazhuang.

"No, I have enough money here."

Everyone is very sincere in their willingness to come to the border to transport food.Bai Dazhuang felt bad about asking everyone to pay for it again.

Although everyone has had enough food and drink in recent years, they are not so well-off in terms of money.

Their money was also saved by family members.

"Brother Da Zhuang, just take it. You paid for our food and drink all the way, and our money hasn't been touched," Liu Fugui said.

"That's right, Xia Qinghe is also my sister. Brother Da Zhuang can't sway our kindness for her." Hanwa said.

Everyone agreed, proving that the money was paid voluntarily and was not coerced by Zhao Dachui.

Knowing that everyone was sincerely planning for Xia Qinghe, Bai Dazhuang accepted the money everyone collected.

Soon everyone arrived in Ningcheng City.

Although Ningcheng is shrouded in the haze of war, it can be seen that it is still a more prosperous border city than Huaicheng.

There are many restaurants on both sides of the street, and all kinds of shops are open.

There are just a few pedestrians on the street.

At the door of a wine shop, a Hu girl with her slender waist tied up was dancing the Hu Xuan dance, her big lake-green eyes like a puddle of clear water.

The Hu man uncle next to her was playing the piano, with the same green eyes.

The young men in Shenshu Village were stunned.

That Hu girl is more beautiful than imagined.

"I'll see when I come back later. Let's hurry up and buy a dowry for Qinghe." Bai Dazhuang patted Hanwa on the shoulder.

It seems that the good-for-nothing boys have returned to Shenshu Village to remind them that it’s time for their parents to kiss them.

"Yes, yes, we'll see when we get back." Zhao Dachui looked away. The Hu girl was indeed pretty, with such a slim waist. If his son hadn't been by his side, he would have seen enough.

"Shopkeeper Ren said that this street has everything. We don't go to other streets, we just buy in the shops on this street. I took Hanwa Fugui to buy clothes, bedding, shoes and socks for Qinghe. Sledgehammer, you Take Xiaogui Chaojing to buy a washbasin, footbath, etc., Erzhuang, take them to buy a dressing mirror and a dressing table, Ergouzi, take Hu San and the others to buy some stools, teapots, bowls, etc. etc. Everyone is watching and buying it.”

Bai Dazhuang distributed the money in his hand to everyone to make arrangements.

"Okay, let's meet here after shopping." Bai Erzhuang said.

After stopping the car and tying up the horses, everyone scattered into the corresponding shops.

Bai Dazhuang naturally had no idea that when he turned around and walked into the jewelry shop next door, someone in the teahouse next door was staring at him.
