Chapter 192 The Space Has Grown Larger
Upon hearing that Wen Dashan had agreed to the marriage, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess readily accepted the betrothal gifts sent by Old Master Nangong.
Grandpa Nangong returned to Jinyu Mantang with a smile, looking at Nangong Wenrui. "Wenrui, my mission is complete. Did you go to the Princess's Mansion? What did Wen Yunhong say?"
Nangong Wenrui calmly said, "The princess has returned to Gujia Village. Xia Yichen told me to go in a couple of days."
"Hehe, Grandfather, Godfather, Godfather and Godbrother have all agreed. As long as you win over the Princess and her brother, this marriage is settled," Old Master Nangong said with a confident smile.
Nangong Wenrui's eyes flickered after hearing this, "Grandfather, what if Mu Hua discovers our intentions? What if she's unwilling to share the storage treasures with our Nangong family..."
Old Master Nangong waved his hand, "Silly boy, the marriage between the princess and the Nangong family is a win-win situation. In my opinion, you should have an open and honest conversation with her about the affairs of the small world."
According to the ancestral prophecy, without the nourishment of storage treasures, the small world's mines, forests, lakes, fields, and even day and night cycles will gradually disappear, eventually turning it into just an ordinary storage treasure.
The Nangong family had been searching for a storage treasure that could nourish their small world, and the mines, forests, and lakes within it had vanished without a trace. Wen Yuxia's appearance gave Old Master Nangong hope.
As long as Nangong Wenrui, the owner of the small world, marries Wen Yuxia, who possesses a storage treasure, their wedding night will be the best opportunity for the small world to recover.
Similarly, Wen Yuxia's storage treasure will also receive a gift from the small world, doubling its original size.
The Small World is the Nangong family's greatest secret. Only the successive heads of the family and the young master know this secret; even the matriarch of the Nangong family is unaware of it.
Among Nangong Wenrui's brothers, he was the most capable. After discussing with the current head of the Nangong family, the old master Nangong decided to hand over the management of the small world to Nangong Wenrui.
Wen Yuxia is the owner of the storage treasure, and Old Master Nangong believes she has the right to know, which is why he made the suggestion.
“Grandfather, you are right. We should indeed tell you the truth about the small world,” Nangong Wenrui said loudly.
In the small world, there were betrothal gifts that Nangong Wenrui had prepared in advance. Nangong Wenrui told Old Master Nangong that he would go to Gujia Village now to talk to Wen Yuxia about this matter.
Then, he turned back to the small world, where Nangong Wenrui was the sole master. With just a thought, the small world would open a door wherever he wished to appear.
In the blink of an eye, Nangong Wenrui appeared on the back mountain at the end of Gu Family Village. Wen Yunhong, who was carrying two wild rabbits down the mountain, showed surprise when he saw Nangong Wenrui.
Wasn't Nangong Wenrui in the capital? How did he suddenly appear in Gujia Village? Nangong Wenrui noticed Wen Yunhong's surprise and calmly said, "The Crown Prince said that you and your brother had returned to Gujia Village, so I followed him."
Wen Yunhong gave a soft "Oh," and then invited Nangong Wenrui to his home. Nangong Wenrui nodded in agreement, took the rabbit from Wen Yunhong's hand, and the two walked towards Wen Dashan's house, chatting as they went.
On the way, Nangong Wenrui told Wen Yunhong about the Nangong family, including the fact that direct descendants of the Nangong family were not allowed to take concubines or divorce, and told Wen Yunhong that regardless of life or death, he would only have Wen Yuxia as his wife in this life.
After hearing Nangong Wenrui's story, Wen Yunhong felt a bit more favorably disposed towards the Nangong family. "Brother Nangong, I hope you can keep your word. If one day you break your vow, I will definitely take my sister away."
Nangong Wenrui said solemnly, "That day will never come." He had finally managed to win his wife home, and he had to pamper her. How could he break his vow of being one with her for life?
Back in Wen Dashan's courtyard, Nangong Wenrui saw Wen Yuxia. He handed the two wild rabbits he was carrying to Wen Yunhong and calmly said, "Muhua, let's find a place to talk."
“Yes,” Wen Yuxia said, leading the way out of the courtyard and heading towards the back mountain with Nangong Wenrui.
As they walked, Nangong Wenrui recounted the secrets of the Nangong family and the benefits of a union between the master of the small world and someone possessing a storage treasure, for both the small world and the storage treasure.
Wen Yuxia was somewhat surprised that Nangong Wenrui could sense her spatial dimension. Since Nangong Wenrui had revealed the Nangong family's secret, Wen Yuxia didn't hesitate and directly led Nangong Wenrui into her spatial dimension.
"You've met Xia Yichen. Xia Yichen should have told you my criteria for choosing a son-in-law," Wen Yuxia said calmly.
Nangong Wenrui's lips curled slightly: "What a coincidence, in the direct line of the Nangong family, especially the patriarch's branch, men are not allowed to take concubines, and women are not allowed to become concubines."
"What a coincidence?" Wen Yuxia looked at Nangong Wenrui suspiciously. Nangong Wenrui was prepared. He took out a book of clan rules from his pocket and handed it to Wen Yuxia, calmly saying, "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself."
Wen Yuxia took the clan rules and carefully read through them, finding that it was indeed as Nangong Wenrui had said. She felt even more approval of Nangong Wenrui.
"It seems quite a coincidence, but even so, this marriage cannot be decided hastily," Wen Yuxia said calmly as she handed the clan rules back to Nangong Wenrui.
Nangong Wenrui nodded slightly, "Of course, marriage cannot be decided hastily. We can discuss the wedding date after the engagement is settled."
Wen Yuxia nodded slightly, then realized she had been tricked by Nangong Wenrui. She said coldly, "What I mean is that the marriage cannot be arranged hastily."
"What's so rushed about it? My grandfather personally came to your grandfather's house to propose marriage to your godparents, and I was even planning to go to the Princess's residence to propose marriage to your elder brother and younger brother!" Nangong Wenrui said, feigning grievance.
Wen Yuxia was somewhat speechless. This Nangong Wenrui was such an oddball; he proposed marriage in three separate ways, requiring a dowry from each. Fine, considering his sincerity, she'd accept the marriage.
Wen Yuxia said somewhat awkwardly, "You should go to the Princess's residence to propose marriage tomorrow. We can discuss the wedding date with my brother."
Nangong Wenrui was overjoyed. "Mu Hua, you agreed."
"Um,"
A happy smile appeared on Nangong Wenrui's usually cold face. He couldn't help himself and opened his arms to give Wen Yuxia a warm hug.
Wen Yuxia's face flushed slightly. Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had ever embraced a man. The two held each other for a while before separating.
The next day, Nangong Wenrui went to the Princess's mansion with carefully prepared betrothal gifts. Xia Yichen and Wen Yunhong, who knew Wen Yuxia's feelings, did not make things difficult for him and readily agreed to his marriage proposal. After discussing the wedding date, Nangong Wenrui took his leave.
Finally, the wedding day arrived. A bright red bridal sedan chair carried Wen Yuxia to a small grove on the outskirts of Beijing. Nangong Wenrui, dressed in a red robe and riding a fine horse, stood at the entrance of the black market to welcome the sedan chair inside. The wedding party followed behind the sedan chair and entered the black market in turn.
The couple's wedding room was set up in the old Nangong mansion in the black market. After the wedding ceremony, Wen Yuxia was led to the bridal chamber, while Nangong Wenrui stayed outside to drink with Xia Yichen and the others.
After nightfall, Xia Yichen and the others moved into the residence that Nangong Wenrui had prepared in advance. Nangong Wenrui, feeling refreshed, entered the bridal chamber.
On their wedding night, the two remained awake all night. First, Nangong Wenrui sensed the changes in the small world, and then Wen Yuxia was pleasantly surprised to find that the space had expanded.
