When Mo Lan woke up the next day, it was dark. She was used to getting up early. She saw the person next to her sleeping dizzy. His hands tightly wrapped around her arms, and she slept for half an hour longer.

When Mo Lan woke up again, Zhao Ceying had already propped himself up with his eyes open, combing the hair on the bed with his fingertips, and looked at her.

He lowered his voice and said, "It's still early, let's get some sleep."

On the first day of marriage, you should kowtow to your elders and say hello, recognize your relatives, and then open the ancestral hall and enter the family tree.

Not many people came from Yuzhou, the elders only came Zhao Zongquan and the Shen family. Now that the two kings are fighting, Zhao Zongquan has always been cautious and will definitely not invite other clans.

On the first day, you only need to say hello to Zhao Zongquan and Shen. If you think about it this way, it is really early to get up now.

Mo Lan looked a little confused, and there was a sense of shame on his face. He rolled up the quilt and shrank in.

She also felt that Zhao Ceying was really simple-minded, which was a good thing for her.

Zhao Ceying seemed to remember what happened last night, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Uncle, it's time for the eldest lady to wake up." Nanny Li's voice outside was particularly clear.

Zhao Ceying opened the bed curtain and let a beam of sunlight shine through. After putting on the clothes underneath, she bent down and gave her a kiss before going out to change clothes.

"I'll wait for you outside. When we're done, let's go to the main courtyard to say hello."

The process of starting up his daughter's family was complicated, and as a man, he didn't understand much about it.

If you stand here and get in the way, you might as well let Aunt Shi take care of Mo Lan.

As soon as Zhao Ceying left, Yun Cai and Lu Zhong came into the room to wait for Mo Lan to get up.

Everything about her makeup and make-up was exquisite. In the end, Yun Cai chose a gorgeous dress with gold thread, while Grandma Li beside her calmly changed into a simpler style.

Since she and the girl arrived at the Zhao Mansion, she had looked them up and down, and had a good feel for the personalities of the two elders of the Zhao Mansion.

It is not unreasonable for them to form a couple. They are both kind-hearted and kind-hearted people. At the same time, they do not like luxury.

After changing into clothes, he asked his attendants to bring gifts. When he left the house, he saw Zhao Ceying practicing martial arts outside.

There was already a light sweat on Zhao Ceying's head. When he saw Mo Lan, he handed the sword to Wu Yan's hand casually, wiped his palm with a handkerchief, walked forward little by little, and naturally took Mo Lan's arm.

"Official, don't move."

A faint smile appeared on Mo Lan's face.

Zhao Ceying was slightly startled and did not move after hearing Mo Lan's words.

Mo Lan stood on tiptoes, and the handkerchief loosened tightly in her hand, and she pressed it gently on his forehead, wiping away the sticky sweat bit by bit.

Zhao Ceying lowered his head and could still see the girl's serious pupils, and her delicate and beautiful face was flushed red by the hot wind.

Even the redness on the ear bones is clearly visible.

"Thank you, madam, let's go." He raised his head and looked at the sky, "At this time, my father and mother should have finished washing."

Along the way, Zhao Ceying told Mo Lan about their personalities in detail.

All in all, there was little difference in what she had learned. When they met for the first time, the two chatted warmly.

There is nothing like the scene between the eldest lady and Haishi.

Wen Wen talked gently, and finally Mo Lan and Zhao Ceying knelt down and saluted.

Mo Lan handed over the tea prepared on the side and said, "Invite father to drink tea."

Zhao Zongquan took it, pursed his lips, and said with a smile, secretly feeling guilty that he had wronged the Sheng family when he came to propose marriage.

"Your Sheng family is a famous Qingliu family in Bianjing. Your marriage is a blessing to our family. In Yuzhou, there are not many rules in the family, and you don't have to stick to everything. If everything can't be settled, there are more Ask your mother."

Mo Lan nodded, "It's the father, the daughter-in-law understands."

Zhao Zongquan then looked at Zhao Ceying and said, "Brother Ying, since you asked for this marriage yourself, you must also treat Mo Lan well."

Zhao Ceying nodded slightly, "My son understands."

Mo Lan stepped forward and handed the second cup of tea to Shen, "Invite mother to drink tea."

Shen had a gentle temper and had no intention of being a bad mother-in-law. She saw the uncontrollable smile on her son's face and said.

"It is more important for you two to have a good life than anything else. You are leaving Bianjing soon. There is no need to get up early to say hello in the past three days. You and Brother Ying will spend more time in Bianjing."

Then he asked the nanny next to him to give him a pair of gold inlaid agate and turquoise earrings and an emerald bracelet.

"Thank you, mother." They both said in unison.

Then he waved to Nanny Li to hand over the things, "I heard that my father was injured a few days ago. I saw that my father's face was still a little pale, so I brought some ointment here."

Zhao Zongquan asked the people around him to take it, feeling relieved.

"After all, it's my daughter's family who is attentive. With you accompanying Brother Ying, I feel relieved."

Mo Lan and Zhao Ceying were left to have breakfast together. After the meal, the two returned to the house.

These three days were the time when the two of them were most affectionate. Zhao Ceying thought that Mo Lan was a girl and could not leave the Sheng Mansion, so he took her to visit Bianjing. Mo Lan also missed Zhao Ceying's coming to Bianjing. Whenever she saw something delicious and interesting, she would always hold Zhao Ceying's hand and let him take a good look.

At the same time, the two of them went to Guangji Temple to meet Master Jian Chengding. On that day, Mo Lan got married. Master Chengding also asked the young novice to give him a seven-treasure bracelet. They went there to express his gratitude.

Master Chengding saw Mo Lan's eyes gleaming, and he set up the chessboard, and another fierce battle began.

For Mo Lan, it was a one-sided crushing, but she was in a good mood, let go, and dragged back dozens of hands.

Father, like son.

Zhao Ceying couldn't help but shook his head when he saw Master Chengding's bad moves. When he sat across from Mo Lan, his eyes became foggy again. Now it was Master Chengding's turn to shake his head.

He said he was a monk, but the words he spoke were indeed not like what a monk could say. At this moment, no matter how much he watched the chess game and said nothing, the true gentleman wished he could lift the chessboard, break down the weaknesses of Mo Lan's layout, and tell Zhao Ceying.

Zhao Ceying lost confidently, "It's not a shame to lose to your own wife."

When going down the mountain, Zhao Ceying and Mo Lan told the origin of Chengding.

It turns out that Xu Yi, the chess player next to the official, has a weird temperament and is a chess fan. When playing chess with the official, he is different from other chess players. He never cares about the emperor's face and wins when he should win.

Officials also discovered that the chess player was different from the others. Instead of hiding it, he became more obsessed with the arcane skills of chess, which actually delayed the important affairs of governing the country.

The civil servants all complained one after another, saying that the officials were obsessed with this way and did not care about the sufferings of the people. This was really not what a wise king should do, and Xu Yi should be killed.

Such a big hat was placed on Guan Jia's head. Guan Jia originally wanted to refute, but in the end he found that he was really too obsessed and speechless.

But he refused to behead Xu Yi and dismissed Xu Yi's official position.

A few days later, Xu Yi, who had retired from office, went to Guangji Temple and became a monk. Occasionally, he would write chess records and ask his former colleagues to give them to the officials for him.

This visit aroused the official's sympathy. It happened that Zhao Ceying went to Beijing for his father, so Zhao Ceying was asked to visit him often.

As the two got along, they gradually became familiar with each other.

The abbot of Guangji Temple knew Xu Yi's identity early on, so as long as he didn't break the rules of the temple, he simply let him go.

Xu Yi built a house next to the temple and invited the world's great talents to play chess with him.

Only then did Mo Lan understand why a monk was so incompetent.
