Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 674 I just hope that the Holy Father will not allow this marriage because he thinks my Cheng family is of low family status.

"Today is really full of guests. In a few days, my mother will host a banquet for her birthday, and your whole family will get it."

Cheng Shi said matter-of-factly:

"When the old lady celebrates her birthday, we will naturally go there."

He paused:
"Hey, why haven't I seen your house?"

Wan Songbai sighed:
"She originally wanted to come, but she was detained at home by my mother. It was her fault. She went horse racing with others a few days ago and got caught in the wind and caught a cold."

When he said this, he seemed to remember something and said quickly:
"Where is your fairy daughter? Let me take a look."

Cheng Shi saw him mentioning his daughter, smiling from ear to ear, and greeted not far away:

"Niao Niao, come and see Uncle Wan."

Cheng Shaoshang stepped forward and saluted:
"Uncle Wan is well."

Wan Songbai looked at the bright and agile little girl in front of him and sighed repeatedly:
"Okay, okay."

He patted Cheng Shi on the shoulder:

"My dear brother, I thought you were bragging when you praised your daughter so much that she was in heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that she was really well raised."

Wan Songbai took out a luxurious-looking dagger from his sleeve robe:

"Take it, Niao Niao, this is the meeting gift given to you by Uncle Wan."

Cheng Shaoshang didn't know whether he should accept it or not, so he looked at his father.

Cheng Shi said directly:
"Take it."

Cheng Shaoshang took the dagger with both hands:
"Thank you, Uncle Wan."

Xiao Yuanyi on the side looked at this precious dagger and said:

"It's just a child. General Wan's gift is too expensive."

Wan Songbai looked like he was not worth mentioning:

"No matter how valuable it is, what good things are worthy of us?"

After he finished speaking, he continued to Cheng Shaoshang:

"Niao Niao, your father and I are close friends. If you feel wronged in the future, come to me. My uncle will definitely make the decision for you."

When Wan Songbai said this, he came closer and lowered his voice:
"Especially because I have been wronged by your mother."

Cheng Shaoshang looked at his friendly attitude and smiled sweetly:
"Ah."

Xiao Yuanyi was deeply afraid that Cheng Shaoshang would be pampered to such an extent that he could not rule the law again, so he ordered:
"Niao Niao, stop hanging around in the front hall. Why don't you go and serve in front of the eldest mother? You also put the dagger away. Why don't you understand any rules?"

Cheng Shaoshang had no choice but to bow to Wan Songbai and turn around to leave.

Seeing this, Wan Songbai looked at Cheng Shi and couldn't help sighing:
"My wife, you are too rigid. You follow the rules to your brothers, and you still follow the rules to Niao Niao. If people follow the rules in everything, their lives will be so boring."

Cheng Shi glanced at his bride's expressionless expression and immediately spoke:
"Who says it's boring? Now when I go out, people don't laugh at me because I'm a rough guy. That's thanks to my Yuan Yi's good teaching."

Wan Songbai laughed loudly when he heard this.

Suddenly, an extremely excited announcement sounded from the Cheng Mansion:
"Master Xu congratulates Wanjuan Shu."

Suddenly, the front hall became quiet.

Although many classics are no longer as precious as before due to "Tiangong Kaiwu", only those top aristocratic families with profound foundations, or the royal family, can give away so many books at once.

Moreover, this is the foundation of a prosperous family, how can we give it to others easily.

At this moment, everyone was talking about the origin of the visitor and why they had never heard of this name.

Wan Songbai asked:
"Brother Xian, who is Mr. Xu?"

Cheng Shi opened his mouth to explain:
"My surname is Xu Mingxian, my courtesy name is Hanwen, I am Cui Hou's cousin."

Wan Songbai was a little surprised:
"Cousin? I have never heard that Cui You has a cousin named Xu."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi couldn't help but look at each other, full of surprise.

"Brother Wan, you must have remembered it wrong."

Wan Songbai lowered his volume:
"Cui You has always been a man of choice in the court, and he has a good relationship with everyone. I have a good relationship with him. I have never heard that he has a relative named Xu."

"Brother Xian, do you know his other origins?"

Cheng Shi replied:

"After being rewarded by the imperial court, he asked Chang Shi Cao to bring a gift to Niao Niao. According to what Chang Shi said, like Ling Buyi, he was raised in the palace since he was a child. He also said that he would leave the palace and open a mansion in the near future. I couldn’t come to help He Niao Niao’s family reunite.”

Wan Songbai was startled and lowered his voice again: "Brother, dear wife, do you know who has left the palace and opened a mansion in recent days?"

Cheng Shi was originally a farmer. After marrying Xiao Yuanyi, he became determined to defend his hometown. He rose up and gained the support of the local gentry, Mrs. Ge, who provided money and food, and became slightly famous.

Then after 15 years of fighting and killing enemies and Wan Songbai's promotion, he was promoted from a small military household to Qu Linghou.

But now I'm just waiting around, I don't know much about the news at all, and I don't care, so I show an extremely confused expression.

These days, Xiao Yuanyi is sorting out her housework, moving to a new house, celebrating the first day of the new year, and holding a housewarming party. She is so busy that she doesn't pay much attention to the news from the outside world.

Wan Songbai saw that the couple looked completely ignorant and said in a low voice:

"The Holy Emperor's fourth son leaves the palace and opens his mansion."

The expressions of the couple were immediately indescribably complicated.

evening.

Cheng Mansion, inside a bedroom.

Xiao Yuanyi sat on the bed, and Cheng Shi paced back and forth in the room.

"General, can you please stop walking around in front of me? It will make me dizzy."

Cheng Shi stood still:

"Since ancient times, it has always been extremely dangerous to be born in the royal family and involved in seizing the heirloom. How could I put Niao Niao into a situation where life and death are unpredictable."

He looked annoyed:
"I never thought that Xu Xian was actually the fourth prince of the current dynasty. Why did he get involved with Niao Niao Zhan?"

Xiao Yuanyi pondered for a while:

"I just hope that the Holy Father will not allow this marriage because he thinks my Cheng family is of low family status."

Cheng Shi sighed heavily:

"No one in the imperial court knows that the Holy Emperor has always valued friendship. The current crown prince is from an ordinary farmer's family. Even the third prince chooses his own concubine, let alone the fourth prince."

After saying that, the two of them showed a wry smile in unison.

Three days later.

The men and women of the Cheng family received invitations from Princess Yuchang, inviting them to attend their birthday.

In the front hall, two sisters, Cheng Shu and Cheng Shaoshang, were both wearing plain and elegant sky-blue dresses with curved trains.

At this time, a girl in red clothes and hairpins walked into the spotlight. She looked flamboyant, as if she was afraid that others would not know that her family was rich.

Behind her were a group of domestic servants, all carrying various expensive accessories.

"Who is that? He has put on all the dressing boxes."

Cheng Shaogong, who was beside Cheng Shaoshang, introduced:

"Wan Qiqi, she is the tenth and tenth girl of the Wan family."

Cheng Song added:

"Thirteen."

Cheng Shaoshang looked shocked:
"Thirteen?"

Cheng Song smiled and said:

"This Wan Qiqiu is obviously the youngest in the family, but she always thinks that she is the biggest one in the city. She always looks more ostentatious than others wherever she goes."

Xiao Yuanyi came over with Sang Shunhua:
"Who are you criticizing?"

Cheng Shaoshang gave a look, and when everyone looked around, Wan Qiqi also saw them and shouted from a distance:
"Cheng Song, Cheng Shaogong."

She came over and bowed first:
"Hello, uncles."

Wan Qiqi seemed to have discovered something, with a smile on her face:

"These two are Shao Shang and Sister Si Si."

After the two sisters bowed one after another, they heard Wan Qiqi frown and say:
"Why are you two dressed so plainly? I'll send someone some beautiful clothes later."

Cheng Shu smiled lightly:
"It's better to be plainer and appear gentler."

After hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang smiled and nodded in agreement.

Wan Qiqi curled her lips:
"Come to this wolf and tiger den, what do you want to be gentle and pleasant?"

She spoke boldly:
"Come here, I'll dress you up."
