After the shock of the "imperial envoy" incident, Grandpa Xia and Mrs. Zhou informed several families who had marriage contracts with their descendants, hoping to complete the marriage as soon as possible.
Of course, they are also mentally prepared for the other party to break the contract and lose their credibility.
After all, the one they had offended was not someone else, but the imperial envoy. Although the imperial envoy was perverse and unpopular, and eventually ran into the mountains for unknown reasons and was eaten clean by wild wolves, he was still a person of status.
What if a loyal subordinate, a close relative, a colleague with whom one has a close relationship, or the like, wants to take revenge on someone? Wouldn't someone like me who has no foundation in the family be a perfect target?
Fortunately, the few marriages arranged by my family were with families who valued trustworthiness.
Xia Dalang's husband valued Xia Dalang's talent and future, and also did not want his daughter to be chosen into the palace. Without waiting for the Xia family to mention it, he took the initiative to propose to arrange the marriage as soon as possible.
Once the Xia family understood their intentions, both parties hit it off and immediately agreed on the details of the marriage.
Although the "background check" on Doctor Xiao Hu has not been completed, everyone except Xia Daohua himself has a good impression of him and does not think that his lack of relatives is a big flaw - especially the Xia family from Beiguan Village.
Beiguan Village sat at the border between Great Chu and the Northern Barbarians. Wars were a constant presence, and casualties abounded. The annihilation of families, clans, and even villages was commonplace.
Therefore, they basically accepted Doctor Hu's life story and were not worried that he was lying. Even if he concealed something, as long as it did not delay his kindness to Xia Yujiao, it would not be a problem.
Xia Daohua didn't think so easily, but she watched from the sidelines and realized that Doctor Xiao Hu was really good to Xia Yujiao.
Moreover, the Xia family had revealed their cards to Doctor Xiao Hu.
But Doctor Xiao Hu seemed to be attracted by Xia Yujiao as a person. After learning about her painful experience, he not only did not retreat or hesitate, but seemed to feel even more pity for Xia Yujiao.

This made Xia Daohua unable to bear to oppose this marriage.
When the Xia family expressed their desire to advance the wedding, Dr. Hu readily agreed.
He happily sold his original shop and took out all his savings over the years to buy a small courtyard with two entrances near the slum where the Xia family rented. He used the front of the shop as a clinic and the back as a home for him and Xia Yujiao to live together.
Doctor Xiao Hu's brother is still young, so he can live in the same yard with his brother and sister-in-law for the time being.
In fact, this is only the case in places like Jixiang County, which are too close to Kyoto, so they are more particular.
For ordinary people, let alone living in the same courtyard, it is common for an underage brother-in-law to live in the same room and sleep on the same kang with his brother and sister-in-law.
As for Wei Shiqi and Lihua's marriage, the Xia family originally wanted to keep Lihua for two more years, but Wei Shiqi was eager to advance the process. When the Xia family passed on the news, Wei Shiqi was so happy that he jumped up in front of the matchmaker, losing his usual composure.
Xia Daohua reflected on herself for once.
I need to be more careful in the future.
The family members were like frightened birds, and hurriedly postponed several scheduled marriages. After all, they were still scared by what happened this time.
The Xia family devoted themselves to preparing for the wedding, and all three weddings were held in advance. The ones under the most pressure were actually the old couple.
Although each branch of the Xia family has split up, and Xia Daohua has even registered the female household separately, the old couple still regards each child as their own responsibility.
Therefore, the preparations for the wedding made the old couple so nervous that they could hardly eat or sleep well. With strong anxiety, they ordered the whole family around.
Xia Daohua was busy for two days, trying to comfort the old couple, giving them reassurances, saying all the nice things she could, even until her mouth was dry and her tongue was parched, but she still couldn't appease the old couple.
She was just thinking about whether to find an excuse to hide away, preferably for two days, when Si Xi came to her house with a letter from Wang.
