Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

As soon as the news spread, all the young men and women in Jiankang City could not sit still, thinking that Xie Lingyi must have been bewitched by someone, otherwise, there were so many well-matched young men in Jiankang City for her to choose from, why did she choose such a man in the end.

Who is Xie Lingyi? She is the only legitimate daughter of the Xie family of Chen County. Her grandfather is Xie Jian, who is known as the "capable minister of the revival of the dynasty". Her uncle Xie Zhen is the prime minister of the dynasty. Her father Xie Ke is an excellent calligrapher and painter, and is well-known for his talent. Her maternal grandfather Sima family is also a large family with a history of hundreds of years.

And who is He Tongguang? A poor marquis from a declining family, he is also known for being lustful and a playboy. He plays with cats and dogs all day long, and has no knowledge or skills. Although he has a good appearance, he is ultimately a burden and is of no use.

In fact, if you look closely, the He family was once glorious. Their ancestors were founding heroes who had conquered the world with their ancestors, and after the founding of the country, they were granted the title of marquis.

But unfortunately, the descendants were not ambitious. After the death of the ancestor of the He family, there has never been any outstanding figure in the marquisate. Moreover, a new emperor chooses new ministers. After the death of the ancestor, the Anding Marquisate became increasingly deserted. By the generation of He Tongguang, it was basically just an empty shell. And if he didn't make any more achievements, the title would be downgraded.

There has been a principle of marrying up and marrying down since ancient times. The two people had such a huge gap in status, but they suddenly got married, which inevitably caused people to talk about it. Men sighed and lamented that the pearl was covered in dust, while women mostly watched coldly, gloating, just waiting to see the arrogant girl from the Xie family and the unlearned Marquis of Anding dislike each other and make a fool of themselves.

Even Jiayue went to Xie's house and asked Xie Lingyi anxiously what had happened. "What happened between you and He Tongguang? Why did you get engaged so suddenly? What mistakes did he make that he could have caught you doing?"

Although Xie Lingyi knew that she was concerned about her, she still felt a little amused after hearing these words. However, she couldn't blame Jiayue for thinking this way. After all, He Tongguang's reputation outside was indeed a bit embarrassing. But she had dealt with him so many times, so she naturally knew what kind of person he was.

"No, I did it on my own will. Don't worry. Don't forget that I have the entire Xie family behind me. Who can threaten me?" Xie Lingyi comforted Jiayue, but her mind couldn't help but recall every detail of that night with He Tongguang in the valley. Suddenly, she felt a tingling sensation in her heart.

Jiayue knew the truth, so she stopped trying to persuade him. She talked to Xie Lingyi for a while and then left. After Xie Lingyi saw her off, she recalled the conversation she had with her uncle Xie Zhen in the study a few days ago.

The Xie family found the two men in the valley, and the fact that He Tongguang knew martial arts could naturally not be concealed. The Xie family had spies throughout Jiankang, and Xie Zhen secretly sent people to investigate and found out the purpose of He Tongguang's going to the Taoist temple outside the city. Only then did he realize that the Fifth Prince, who usually kept a low profile, actually had such a plan. When he compared him with those good-for-nothing princes, he naturally had something to worry about.

Xie Zhen was such a perceptive person. He had watched Xie Lingyi grow up, so he could naturally tell from her slightly evasive eyes and the worry about He Tongguang's injury that his always proud niece might have fallen in love with He Tongguang. This way, he could have the best of both worlds, fulfilling his niece's feelings and getting in touch with the Fifth Prince. So the marriage was settled.

As for He Tongguang's intentions, Xie Zhen sneered. That boy was a dormant leopard. If he had no interest in his niece, he would not risk being exposed to save her. Thinking of his injuries, even Xie Zhen, who had seen many ups and downs, could not help but be secretly shocked.

Just like that, Xie Lingyi married into the Marquis of Anding's Mansion with a grand wedding dress under the gaze of a group of people who were unaware of the inside story.

On the wedding night, Xie Lingyi frowned, and wanted to kick He Tongguang, "Aren't you a frequent visitor to the singing hall? You are already in your twenties and you are an old hand. Why…"

He Tongguang sensed her dissatisfaction and avoided her eyes. Naturally, he did not want to admit that he was in his twenties but still a virgin, so he slowed down his movements.

Xie Lingyi wanted to laugh at him a few more times, but suddenly felt He Tongguang's actions. That night, the always arrogant eldest daughter of the Xie family finally fell into the hands of the unlearned Marquis of Anding.

Later, there was the Rebellion of the Kings, which made the people of Jiankang suffer from decades of suffering and still shudder when talking about it again. There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and millions of corpses were buried. The bloody coup lasted for several days. Brothers fought against each other with weapons, and the armies led by the princes fought in a group. After the chaos, this palace that everyone longed for became a purgatory on earth. The corpses piled up inside and outside attracted crows to hover and scream for a long time.

Finally, while the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. The fifth prince, who had always been unknown, stood up and ascended to the position that everyone dreamed of. However, the previous emperor did not leave a will, and there were still many voices of opposition in the court and the country at the beginning of his accession to the throne. Just when the people of Jiankang were worried about whether the purgatory on earth would come again, Princess Hexin held the national seal that had disappeared for a long time, and firmly defended Emperor Hui, whose throne was unstable, against all odds.

The government and the country finally settled down. The once downtrodden Marquis of Anding transformed himself into the most sought-after minister to the emperor of the new dynasty, the hereditary backbone of the country - the Duke of Anguo. And the Xie family's Lingyi, who was once ridiculed for marrying down and was blind, also became the noble and unparalleled wife of the first-class Duke of Anguo.

Two years after their marriage, Xie Lingyi gave birth to their eldest son He Lanting. In the same month of the following year, Xie Jingshu, who married Lin Huaian, the son of a fourth-rank civil servant, gave birth to a baby girl. Because she was born fragile and needed careful care, the couple loved her very much and gave her the maiden name - Lin Xi.
