After entering the winter month, time seems to pass faster amidst the busyness, and in the blink of an eye it is already the middle of the month.

Unlike Yan Mujun who was cold and indifferent when she was getting married, Yan Muxi, who was about to get married, had an endless stream of people coming to her house from morning to night to add to her dowry.

One reason was that Yan Yongchen was promoted to the head of a department, in charge of the appointment and promotion of court officials, and was also favored by Emperor Yuanjing, so countless bureaucrats wanted to establish a relationship with him.

Secondly, Yan Muxi was going to marry into the Rong Palace, and no one dared to disrespect the Rong Palace. Anyone who had a say came to the palace to make up for it.

It was not until the day before the wedding that Qian Chongguang finally arrived and stuffed a stack of house deeds and land deeds into Yan Muxi's hands.

"Grandpa already gave me a dowry last time. How can I keep giving it?" Yan Muxi refused to accept it.

Although she still didn't know what the seal that grandpa gave her last time was used for, it must be an important item whose value could not be estimated.

Qian Chongguang said with a smile, "When did you learn to be polite, little girl? Most of Grandpa's property was left to you, Xixi, and your mother. But giving these properties to your mother is like giving them away to outsiders. It's better to give them to you directly. Just keep what Grandpa is willing to give!"

Knowing that Grandpa would never take back what he gave, Yan Muxi stopped pretending to be polite and said, "Okay, I'll keep it first. If Grandpa needs it in the future, you must ask for it."

After putting away the house deeds and land deeds, Yan Muxi said, "I will leave the house tomorrow, and I may not have the chance to see Grandpa until I return home in three days. Can Grandpa stay in Luodu for a few more days this time?"

Seeing the expectation in his granddaughter's eyes, Qian Chongguang suppressed his reluctance and said, "Business is busy at the end of the year. Next time you come to Luodu, Grandpa will try to stay for a few more days."

If the other party can't do something, it's useless to ask for more promises. Yan Muxi could only nod with tears in her eyes, "Okay."

Qian Chongguang thought for a long time and spoke hesitantly, "Xixi, tomorrow is your big day. Although I know some things are inappropriate to say, Grandpa still has to remind you. Remember to guard your heart at all times, and don't follow in your mother's footsteps and be deceived by others for most of your life."

"Grandpa, don't worry. No one in this world can deceive me." Yan Muxi assured him, patting his chest.

Minghui once told her that as long as a woman does not deceive herself, no one can deceive her. She never deceives herself, so she will definitely not be deceived by others.

"Okay, Grandpa, don't worry, don't worry... Xixi is the smartest girl in the world, Grandpa believes in Xixi..."

Looking at the young girl in front of him, Qian Chongguang couldn't help but tear up.

His only daughter had fallen into a den of evil, and now even his only granddaughter was about to fall into the palace of unknown depth. He couldn't protect either of his only two closest relatives in the world, so he could only give them more money to make up for it.

After dinner, Qian Manman called Yan Muxi into the bedroom, took out a half-large rectangular box from under the bed, and stuffed it into her hands as if the box would be hot.

"What's in it?" Yan Muxi picked up the box and shook it. It seemed light and weightless.

A'niang had already given her half of the private treasury as a dowry, so she shouldn't have given her any more money.

Qian Manman coughed lightly, her cheeks reddening before she could speak, "It contains the couple's secrets. Oh, you can read it yourself later!"

Yan Muxi opened the box with a puzzled look on his face. No wonder it was so light, as there was only a thin book inside.

My mother gets a headache whenever she reads a book, so why should I give her a book?

Seeing that she was so careless as to open the book and read it in public, Yinxia cried out "Ah!", snatched the book away and put it back into the box, "You can't read it here. Wait until we get back to the yard and open it in bed."

Yan Muxi understood that it was just a book of words to teach couples how to behave. Was there any need to hide it? She had been in the Red Mansion before, and she was not a simple girl who knew nothing.

What else can a couple do on a bed besides sleeping? Can a baby be born just by kissing and hugging?

Qian Manman was about to give her daughter a few more instructions as she was about to leave tomorrow. Dongyu hurried in and said, "The eldest lady is here. She's waiting for her in the yard!"

Yan Mucheng was the kind of person who would not come to see him unless there was something important. Fearing that she had something urgent to tell him, Yan Muxi stood up and said goodbye to Qian Manman.

When she returned to Jinyuyuan, she found out that not only Yan Muqing was waiting for her, but Yan Muyun, whom she hadn't seen for several months, was also there.

"Isn't the third sister still in mourning? Why did she come back suddenly?" Yan Muxi exclaimed with wide eyes.

Yan Muyun stepped forward and pretended to cover her mouth, "Second sister, keep your voice down. Of course I came back secretly. How could I have been divorced?"

Yan Muxi let out a breath, "I really thought that my third sister was too stupid and was divorced by her brother-in-law and sent back home!"

Yan Mujun rolled her eyes. "I don't even dislike him, Gu Yunting, for being dull and boring. Why should he dislike me? He even wants to divorce his wife. It's not certain who will divorce whom!"

Yan Muyun was in deep mourning. According to the customs of the Dafeng Dynasty, during the mourning period, she was not allowed to go out unless there was an emergency involving human life, and she was not allowed to run back to her parents' home.

Yan Muxi confirmed again, "Did nothing really happen between my third sister and her brother-in-law?"

"Ah, elder sister has just asked about it. Nothing happened between Gu Yunting and me. If you don't believe me, go and see. Gu Yunting is waiting in the carriage not far from the corner gate!" Yan Mujun said as she was about to pull the two of them out.

Yan Muxi didn't doubt her, "Forget it, can't I trust you? So, the third sister came back specially to send me, the second sister, to marry."

Yan Mujun let go of the two and rolled her eyes again, "Tsk, don't be so conceited. I was just too bored and came out to get some fresh air. I didn't come here specially to see you off. It's just a marriage, it's not like we'll never see each other again. It's not worth it for me to take the risk and sneak out of the house!"

As he spoke, he took out a bulging purse from his pocket and threw it to Yan Muxi, "This special ointment for relieving pain and swelling is much better than the ointments you can buy on the market. Second sister, keep it well. You will definitely need it tomorrow."

Yan Muxi blinked her watery eyes as she looked at the purse in her hand that was about to explode, feeling more confused than when she received the notebook about human relations.

She was going to get married, not to fight, so why did Yan Muyun give her the ointment? Did she expect that she would be beaten by Yu Wantai? If Yu Wantai didn't like her, he could just ignore her, but he wouldn't beat her, right?

"My third sister came up with the idea of ​​hot pot, and I asked the small kitchen to prepare it. My third sister finally came out today, and she must try it before leaving."

"Hot pot? Is it the new food with spicy flavor that spread all over the house a few days ago?" Yan Muqing asked curiously.

Yan Muxi nodded, "Yes, boil all kinds of fresh ingredients in spicy soup or bone soup, take them out and dip them in some sauce. It's hot, fragrant and spicy. It's so comfortable to eat in winter."

Yan Muyun wanted to refuse, but Bing Mu was still waiting outside, so she couldn't stay in the mansion for too long.

But after hearing Yan Muxi describe the taste of the hot pot, I couldn't say a word to refuse.

She hadn't eaten her favorite hotpot for more than a year. Since she had to wait anyway, she let Gu Yunting wait outside for a while!
