It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Lin'an, you..."

Marquis Wanning had lived to such an old age, but he had never seen a yard that could accommodate hundreds of people filled to the brim, with betrothal gifts piled up into a small mountain.

"Marquis Wanning, I asked someone to check the date and they said today is a good day for an engagement, so I came to propose." Xie Linan, who was always calm, could not hide his nervousness at this moment. He looked up and said, "Han'er, isn't she in the mansion?"

"She went out to play with Bu Wei."

When it comes to Lu Han, Wan Ning Hou is full of complaints: "After she came back, she stayed at home for less than half a day, and then followed the lady to Sui'er's house, and ended up staying there. She came back yesterday, took a few sets of clothes, and said she was going to live in the manor for a while. No, you came to propose marriage, didn't you tell her in advance?"

Xie Linan was embarrassed by the question from Marquis Wanning: "I was thinking of giving her a surprise. She said before that she wanted to spend more time with you two when she returned home."

"We want her to accompany us?"

Wan Ning Hou seemed to have heard a huge joke: "I don't need her company. My wife and I are very busy every day. When she is at home, I have to worry about whether she is hungry or cold. The worst thing is that every time we meet, she tells me that she has no clothes to wear or jewelry to wear. I feel so distressed when I hear that. I always give her money, but after a few days, I realized that this girl is just trying to extort money from me in various ways."

Although Marquis Wanning seemed to be complaining, he was actually showing his love for her.

But Xie Linan felt uncomfortable when he heard this: "Han'er, she never asked me what I wanted, but kept asking me what I needed."

"That's different. I'm her father, and it's my duty to treat her well. As for you, you're the head of the family now, and you're already very busy. Han'er won't bother you with such a small matter. When it comes to the overall situation, Han'er knows her limits." Marquis Wan Ning was very proud when he said this. He felt a little inflated when he thought that such an outstanding Lu Han was his daughter.

"But this way... I always feel like there's a veil between her and me."

The nervousness I had when proposing was instantly replaced by a sense of loss.

"Lin'an, you can't think like that. You are right, and so is Han'er. You have had a very difficult life since childhood. If Han'er uses this kind of thing to ask you again, you will feel very useful in the beginning, and feel that she depends on you and needs you, and you will feel very satisfied in your heart. But what about over time? Or when it is your turn to have something happen, you need to depend on her in turn, but she can't give you what you want, will you feel lost and sad?"

Xie Linan lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I haven't thought about it, but I don't think I will be like this."

"Then let me ask you, why did you like Han'er in the first place?" Marquis Wan Ning was not in a hurry to refute, but instead asked him a question.

"Because Han'er is nice."

"What's good about it?"

"She can understand me, respect me, and help me..." Xie Linan paused, looked up and met the smiling eyes of Marquis Wanning, and immediately understood the meaning of his words.

For a moment, he felt ashamed.

"Marquis Wanning, I..."

"Lin'an, you are still young. It's good that you can think of these things now. When you marry Han'er and have your own children in the future, you will understand that not all relationships are the same. You have a rough life and your parents have never taught you well, so you have a harder time than ordinary people. But it doesn't matter..." Wan Ninghou patted Xie Lin'an on the shoulder, "We will be a family in the future. You have to trust me and I will teach you."

Xie Linan's pupils were startled, and he looked at Wan Ning Hou in disbelief: "I..."

"What's the matter? Do you dislike an old man like me?"

"No, it's me who can receive the guidance of Marquis Wan Ning..."

"You are so good at other things, but why are you so confused when it comes to your lifelong event?" Wan Ning Hou deliberately glared at him, "You have come to propose marriage, and you still call me Wan Ning Hou?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Linan hurriedly bowed and said, "Father-in-law."

"Hey, that's right. All right, sit down for a while. I'll have someone bring Han'er back. She's been out having fun for so long, it's time for her to focus on her life."

Xie Linan looked at the cursing Marquis Wanning and suddenly had a concrete impression of "father".

very nice.

From now on, he will no longer be lonely. He has a lover, a family who loves him, and his father-in-law's family.

Inexplicably, he thought of Shan Ji.

In fact, my experience is very similar to his, and I am even worse off than him.

But it seems that the endings are different.

Of course this doesn’t matter, because he knows that every day in the future will be happy.

The day of Xie Linan and Lu Han’s wedding.

Basically, all the dignitaries in the capital came.

The Emperor and Empress were originally going to come, but considering their status, they were afraid that everyone would feel uncomfortable.

So he asked the palace maid to deliver a valuable gift.

Today is also the first time that Xie family opened its doors to welcome guests from all over the world.

I’m afraid Xie Linan can’t handle it alone.

Lu Sui and Yuan Buwei took up the heavy responsibility. Anyway, they regarded Xie's house as their back garden and would stroll there whenever they had nothing to do.

Under everyone's blessing gaze.

The two of them bowed to heaven and earth, and when they knelt down to pay homage to Madam Xie, Madam Xie could not hide her tears of excitement.

Not only did she survive, she also lived to see her son get married.

At the banquet, everyone toasted Xie Linan one by one, and he accepted all the toasts, showing a rare good temper.

"That's great. All of this has only appeared in my dreams before."

Yuan Buwei turned her head and looked at Princess Jinghe who was sitting next to her and sighed: "I think so too."

"By the way, I heard that Lu Sui gave all the previous formation diagrams to the emperor? But the emperor didn't want them, and instead gave all the ones from the previous emperor to Lu Sui?"

Yuan Buwei thought about this and found it funny: "Lu Sui has been working late into the night recently, studying the ten maps to see if there is really a treasure map?"

"I guess by the time he figures it out, the Crown Prince will have grown up. Then I'll give the map to the Crown Prince and let him study it." Princess Jinghe smiled as she drank and looked at the crowd. "I heard that Ling Jiuyuan and Lan Ling'er are getting married soon?"

"Yes, we can even have a wedding banquet then."

"No, there are also meals for Meng Qiongyue and Shangguan Que, two meals in total."

"Yes, but their wedding banquet will probably have to wait a while." Yuan Buwei smiled and suddenly remembered something. "A few days ago, a tribe member who claimed to be a survivor of Lingxi Valley came to us and asked us to help find the sword-making secrets. Lu Sui is still considering it."

"I will make the decision for him. As the Duke of Zhenguo, this opportunity to make friends with the people of Jianghu must not be missed."

"Aren't you afraid that we will become too powerful?" Yuan Buwei asked with a smile.

"I wish you had as much power as possible. Only you can truly use power where it should be used. I think Dazhao can at least maintain stability for a few hundred years." Princess Jinghe raised her wine glass. "Yuan Buwei, thank you for always insisting on what I want to insist on."

"It's you, everyone, and most importantly, Lu Sui, who gave me the strength and supported me, that allowed me to do this."

Yuan Buwei looked at the crowd. She couldn't estimate what the future would be like.

But she believes that at any time, she should never give up on herself and believe in herself, and she will be able to overcome difficulties.

She lived her life again and it was fulfilled.
