"Why did you think of buying so many copper jewelry?" Zhang Xuan glanced at the wooden box in Zhang Chuchen's hand and asked with a smile.￥f,

"When I was a child, my mother also had a box of such jewelry. I stolen it out to play with. But she accidentally fell into the river and could never be found again. I ran home crying. Not only did my mother not blame me, but also comforted me and bought a few more for me."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chuchen's eyes turned red, and she sighed softly, "Every time I see such jewelry, I will think of my mother and my childhood."

"I heard from Qingmei that you are the surname of your mother, right?" Zhang Xuan asked with a glance at her.

Zhang Chuchen nodded, "My mother's surname is Zhang. I don't know who my father is. I heard that my mother's surname is Xie. I heard that she has something to do with the Jiangning Xie family. He disappeared shortly after I was born. I don't know if it was dead or gone, but he was the one who gave me my nickname Wu Niang."

Zhang Chuchen smiled at Zhang Xuan, "You can also call me Wu Niang."

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Then have you ever gone to find him? I mean your father."

"Why haven't you found it, but you have no gains. The Xie family in Jiangning did not recognize that there were their tribe members in the Duke of Yue's mansion."

"You don't seem to resent him."

Zhang Chuchen shook his head, "He is my father. How could I resent my father? I just don't have any memory of him anymore. Sometimes I hope to find her, but after so many years, my mood for finding her father has gradually faded."

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment and asked again: "Are you going to Chang'an this time?"

"Well! I went to worship the tomb of my adopted father, and then left."

"Didn't you go back to Dou Mansion to take a look?"

"Doufu?"

Zhang Chuchen sneered, "I have nothing to do with it anymore. I didn't even enter Chang'an City and went directly to Qingling Mountain. My adoptive father once told me that if he died, he would be buried there. He liked the mountains and rivers there, and I really found his tomb."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chuchen waved his hand and said, "I don't want to mention this matter anymore. Tell me about you! I heard from Sister Qing that you have no relatives, right?"

"Actually, you should know that didn't you investigate me at the beginning?" Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

"Where did I investigate you? I hated you at that time. My adoptive father asked me to investigate, so I just said nonsense and found out that there was no such person!"

"What about now, do you still hate me?"

Zhang Chuchen couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled, "Eating and drinking for so long. Besides, it would be a bit too much to say what he hates his master."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chuchen gave him a blank look and said with a smile: "Actually, I still hate you a little bit, but I like Sister Qing. By the way, is Sister Qing okay?"

"She is very good. Yesterday I accompanied her on the lanterns. She said it would be great if you were there. If you were not here, the house would be much deserted."

Zhang Chuchen lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, she asked again: "Isn't Xin Yu? With her here, the family shouldn't be too deserted."

"How can she replace you!"

Zhang Xuan blurted out, Zhang Chuchen's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly turned his head, his heart was pounding with nervousness. Zhang Xuan also felt a little confused and smiled awkwardly. Both of them stopped talking. They walked side by side silently.

At this time, a burst of exclamations came from a distance, and a flower tree appeared in the open space in front of a temple, a shelf made of giant trees. It was as high as seven or eight feet tall, with thousands of colorful lanterns hanging on it. Several lamplighters were lighting the lanterns. Soon, a huge and brilliant lantern tree appeared in front of everyone, with bright lights and magnificent.

This is the annual wishing lantern tree. Groups of young men and women rushed to the lantern tree and danced to sing with hands. More and more people were infected by the joyful emotions and joined the singing team. More and more than a thousand people had surrounded the tree lanterns under the tree lantern.

At this time, Zhang Xuan handed his hand to Zhang Chuchen, staring at her with an extremely bright look. Zhang Chuchen hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his head and handed his hand to Zhang Xuan. The two of them joined the crowd of people who were holding hands.

Several personal soldiers who were leading their horses in the distance also turned around and pretended to appreciate the lanterns elsewhere.

In the crowd, Zhang Hyun held the beauty's hand, and the two danced and sang, and the two figures gradually leaned against each other.

After the Lantern Festival, Lu Qing began to get busy. She wanted to prepare for her husband to take a concubine. Although she was six months pregnant and was very heavy, she still forced herself to consider various details.

It is naturally Xin Yu and Zhang Chuchen who took a concubine. Needless to say, Xin Yu and Zhang Xuan became husband and wife in the grassland. She waited for Zhang Xuan for two years and traveled thousands of miles to find a lover. Even Lu Qing could not find a reason to refuse her loyalty. Zhang Xuan married her successfully, so Lu Qing didn't have to worry about anything.

However, Lu Qing was worried about Zhang Chuchen's affairs. Although Zhang Chuchen returned to Jiangdu after paying homage to his foster father in Chang'an, this meant that she finally accepted Lu Qing's suggestion and was willing to become Lu Qing's sister, the Sui Dynasty's law stipulated that the same surname could not be married, and ordinary people tried to avoid the same surname when they got married. Moreover, Zhang Xuan was a high-ranking official in the court. Once reported, Zhang Xuan would be worried about being dismissed from office and held accountable, so the first thing to do when marrying Zhang Chuchen was to change his name.

Fortunately, her surname is not really Zhang, but her mother's surname. Zhang Chuchen herself was willing to change her name to Xie Wuniang. This is her father's surname and her original surname. Lu Qing announced in the mansion that the new wife's name is Xie, and she is from Jiangnan. People in the mansion are not allowed to call her Miss Zhang again.

At the same time, Lu Qing asked the housekeeper to buy wedding items, invite musicians to entertain, and invite some relatives and friends to attend the wedding banquet to witness. This is also Lu Qing's desire to improve the status of Wu Niang and Xin Yu.

Generally speaking, the ceremony of taking a concubine is very simple. A carriage can be quietly welcomed into the door. However, if a wedding is held like a wife, it is not a simple concubine, but a concubine, and the status is equivalent to a fair wife. This is also Lu Qing's careful decision.

In the room, Lu Qing was considering Qinglu’s arrangements, and Li Xiang said at the door: “Miss Xie is here.”

I saw the door curtain lifting up, and Zhang Chuchen, wearing an emerald green skirt, walked into the room. No! It should be said that Xie Wuniang walked into the room. Zhang Chuchen has become the past. She has changed her name to Xie Wuniang. The reason why she decided to change her name was not only to marry Zhang Xuan, but also to completely break with the Huofeng of the past.

"Don't Sister Qing want to go out for a walk? Haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

Xie Wuniang has been back home for ten days. When she first met Lu Qing, she felt embarrassed, but as time went by, she gradually regained her close relationship with Lu Qing.

"We are too lazy to move and don't want to go out anymore. Come on! Let's sit down and say."

Lu Qinglai sat down and said with a smile: "A few days ago, the general sent someone to the Xie family in Jiangning to check your father's whereabouts. Today I finally received the news."

"I have checked it before, but I have no gains."

"But the general found a little clue."

"What clue?" Wu Niang asked anxiously.

"There are two branches of the Xie family in Jiangnan, one is the Xie family in Jiangning, and the other is the Xie family in Wuxian. Among them, the Xie family in Wuxian was once a relative of the Chen Dynasty. The head of their family had a daughter named Xie Qingling, who was once the concubine of the Houzhu of Chen. After the demise of the Chen Dynasty, Xie Qingling was rewarded with Yang Su as a concubine. She also had a younger brother, who was not a slave of Yang Su. She followed her sister to Chang'an. This person was called Xie Qingwu. He was only twenty years old at that time."

Xie Wuniang was shocked. There was also a word "wu" in Xie Qingwu's name. Her voice trembled, "Where is he now?"

Lu Qing shook his head, "I'm sorry, the general has not found his whereabouts yet. He only knows that he has left Jiangnan and never came back. We will continue to investigate in the future."

Xie Wuniang felt sad, but since she knew a little clue, she must find out the whereabouts of Xie Qingwu.

At this time, Lu Qing smiled again and said, "Let's talk about marriage, it's the day after tomorrow. You should be mentally prepared!"

Xie Wuniang was immediately shy and stood up to leave, but Lu Qing grabbed her wrist and smiled and said, "I can't let you run away again this time." (To be continued.)
