Chapter 496: Holding a big banquet

She returned to Xia's house, and the next morning, the imperial edict came.

Xia Lu received the letter and went home with the eunuch who sent the order, and then led the whole family to kneel down to receive the imperial edict.

After sending away the eunuch Xuanzhi, Lu Xinlan said: "They were already engaged, so why did the emperor do the marriage?"

Xia Lu carefully held the imperial edict and said, "This is the emperor's gift! Our family's glory! I have to keep this imperial edict well! By the way, Xinlan, it is September now, and in another four months, An'an's filial piety period will be over. You can prepare her dowry."

Lu Xinlan said: "Okay."

Xia Lu said to Xia Anan again: "Anan, come with me."

Xia Anan went with him.

When he arrived at no one, Xia Lu said to her: "An An, many years ago, I found a wreck at the bottom of the river in my hometown. There were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the ship."

Xia Anan widened her eyes: "Ah?"

Xia Lu: "No one told me to hide those gold, silver and jewelry in one place. Now that you are getting married, I plan to give you some dowry!"

Xia Anan: "It's so good? Then thank you dad!"

"But..." Xia Lu said, "You have many brothers and sisters, and it is impossible for everyone to get it. So just know what I know about this, don't tell others."

"Yeah!" Xia Anan was a little moved. It turned out that her father was actually partial to her.

"The problem is..." Xia Lu said with some embarrassment, "How can we bring several large boxes of things to the Lu family without knowing it?"

Xia Anan: "...you mean several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry?"

Xia Lu nodded.

Xia Anan looked at him suspiciously: "When I was in my hometown, I was salvaged from the water?"

Xia Lu nodded.

"But you told me before, can you break the blame in your hometown? Is it because of your help from your aunt and grandmother."

Xia Lu: "It wasn't that time! It was...it was later. I discovered it when I returned to my hometown!"

Xia Anan: "Can you betrayed me, you pretended to pick it up?"

Xia Lu's face darkened: "Am I that kind of person your father?"

Xia Anan: "It seems not..."

"Don't worry! The wealth without a boss is pure and innocent!" Xia Lu said, "You always have many ideas. Think about how to prevent your mother and others from knowing it and bringing things over."

Xia Anan: "Let's do this, I'll say that my grandfather has sent me a few big boxes of books as dowry. Then, he will carry them from Yinxian Temple, spread the books on his face, and disguise them!"

"Okay, okay!" Xia Lu said, "The weight is about the same, so I'll make it! I'll arrange it!"

Xia Anan felt confused when he saw his happy look.

...

Bai Zhenzhen gave birth to a fat boy last month. When she was holding a full moon banquet, she invited her relatives to come over.

The Xia family is a close relative, and almost the whole family went out and went there.

I happened to meet Li Dongqing and Han Zhang at the door of the Lu family, and Xia Anan walked with them.

"Why have you hired so many people?" Li Dongqing asked Xia Anan wonderingly, "Isn't he just a concubine's son?"

The two families are relatives and the news is in contact with each other. Xia Anan had already heard the gossip that was full of ears and said, "The child was remembered in the name of his second grandmother and was considered the legitimate son of the second wife. However, he did not raise him by his second grandmother, so he was still raised by Aunt Bai."

Li Dongqing: "Ha! You really take advantage of my second grandma! Can she agree?"

Xia Anan: "We have already held a big banquet, so we must agree."

Li Dongqing: "This silly woman! She is in good health now, so she should give birth to one by herself! Why do you want others to take advantage of it for nothing?"
