auspicious time has come

Chapter 213 Proposal

This news also spread to the palace. After the lunch break, Princess Jiayi returned to the study hall, and ran to Hengyu's side and said, "Teacher, have you heard that Jiang Linggong is going to congratulate Miss Jiang on finding a son-in-law!"

Heng Yu was very surprised: "Chongxi?"

"I also find it unbelievable." Princess Jiayi exclaimed, "That's Jiang Linggong...how could he believe in these invisible and intangible myths? Regardless of the opinions and discussions of the people in the court, he bluntly spoke about the matter of recruiting a son-in-law. It can be said that there is no cover-up, and now it has spread throughout the capital."

After a moment of silence, Hengyu said: "As a parent, I love my daughter very much, and I want to try everything. If this is the case, the rest may not be important."

Princess Jiayi said in a low voice: "I heard from the palace people that Jiang Linggong's actions are no different from going to the doctor in a hurry. From this, it can be seen that the condition of the Jiang family girl is... If not, Jiang Linggong should not As for making such a move.”

He said again: "By the way, I also heard that Mr. Jiang Ling did this because of the advice of that immortal master."

Hengyu looked at her: "Immortal Master Puzhen?"

"It is this man."

Heng Yu asked subconsciously: "Has the princess ever seen this Immortal Master Puzhen?"

"I've never seen it before, but from what my father said, I can roughly tell that this person is not one of those ordinary swindlers, and it seems that he does have some skills..."

"If he doesn't have some skills, he can't be the only one who has won the favor of a saint." Heng Yu's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Speaking of the emperor's grandfather who is now very dependent on pills, his health is getting worse, but his temper is getting worse, Jiayi County advocated opening his mouth, but he didn't say much.

Both A Niang and the teacher have said that it is not appropriate to say anything about the emperor's grandfather, no matter whether it is good or bad, especially at this juncture, especially since she is the princess of the Eastern Palace——

Although the girl is young, she is aware of the surrounding situation.

Then he changed the topic back: "Teacher, I remember that you and Miss Jiang's family seem to be on good terms?"

"Yes." Heng Yu didn't deny it, looking out the window at the gradually gloomy sky, her heart seemed to be covered with a layer of haze: "Although the acquaintance was short, but we hit it off very well."

"Then tell me... is this joyful talk really useful?"

Heng Yu waited for a long time before replying, "I hope it will be useful."

……

When Hengyu left the palace, the sky was still gloomy, the sky was extremely low, and it was so dull that people could not breathe evenly.

When the carriage passed the long street, when Cuihuai opened the window to let in air, he caught a glimpse of a figure: "Girl, it seems to be Doctor Yan."

Heng Yu looked over and saw a familiar figure from behind, it was Yan Ming.

He was walking alone on the street with people coming and going, even though he was only a back view, it made people feel sad and powerless for no reason.

Hengyu sighed in his heart.

In the past few days, Military Doctor Yan has exhausted all the methods he could think of for Sister Jiang's matter, and he has begged Grandpa Bai more than once, and Grandpa Bai was so annoyed that he even wanted to sever his relationship with him as a master and apprentice, scolding him " Humans and ghosts are not ghosts, people and ghosts can’t be distinguished, how can you be a doctor”——

That much thinner figure walked into a tailor shop in a daze.

"Uncle Ping, stop first." Heng Yu confessed through the curtain.

The carriage stopped steadily, but Hengyu did not get off the carriage.

She had no intention of stepping forward to disturb her, but the situation of Doctor Yan at this time was really worrying.

At dusk, due to the gloomy sky, it was two points darker than usual.

In the front hall of the Jiang Mansion, people were either sitting or standing, and there was a lot of noise.

"Zhengsuke, how can you be so confused!"

"Chongxi's theory is false. As the head of the gentry, you actually want to do such a ridiculous thing? How can you make Jiang's face like this?"

An old man in the lead had a dignified face and a distressed tone: "I will never agree to this matter!"

"This is my family's business, and uncle's consent is not needed." Jiang Zhengfu said with a calm face, "It's getting late, and uncle's legs and feet are inconvenient. Let's go back earlier."

"You..." The old man was so angry that his beard trembled, and he clenched the crutch in his hand: "I think you are in a daze, and you actually contradicted your elder for a sick child who was born with trouble! And it's just a little girl." !"

Jiang Zhengfu's eyes darkened slightly.

"Back then you were so repulsive... If you were willing to listen to the advice of the clan and continue the strings as soon as possible, how could you have ended up in such a situation!"

"Jiang's family is all prosperous. Since you are the head of the lineage, family affairs are family affairs!"

"Your father left early back then. Before he left, he repeatedly entrusted me to take good care of you. I can't be ashamed of his confession!"

"Back then, I indulged you once, and let you stop marrying again. It was my fault! Today, if you insist on going your own way again, I will lose this old life, and I will stop you from thinking about it! "

The old man trembled with anger, his words were like knives.

Jiang Zhengfu sat still and said in a solemn voice, "Come here, take uncle back home."

The steward responded, and stepped forward to make a "please" gesture.

The old man flicked his sleeves heavily, leaned on his crutches and left with a tense face.

Seeing this, the two tribesmen hurried forward to help each other.

Seeing that it was boring, many clansmen left with the old man.

Soon, there were only three or five clansmen left in the hall and they were still sitting in their original places.

Jiang Zhengfu glanced at those cousins ​​of the same generation: "Do you have anything to say?"

"Uncle, after all, he is getting old, and he has always acted in the old fashioned way... I will definitely help my elder brother persuade me a little bit later."

"Yes, as a father, how can we not understand the feelings of an elder brother?"

Hearing what a few people said, Jiang Zhengfu's face still did not relax, and he just nodded slightly: "Then thank you all."

"Although this joyful event is for the purpose of treating the girl's illness, one needs to be more cautious when choosing a candidate... The elder brother has no heirs in his family, if someone with a heart is allowed to take advantage of it, I'm afraid it will cause disaster in the future. .”

"That's right, if you want to choose, you need to choose the sons of the gentry with good conduct, upbringing and family background, which is more appropriate..."

"Although the children of the gentry...are not willing to marry easily, but our Jiang family is the head of the gentry, so they must..."

Jiang Zhengfu didn't have the patience to listen any longer, and interrupted their roundabouts: "You may wish to speak up if you have something to say."

Those clansmen had long been accustomed to his temper, and exchanged glances with each other, and the leader said, "I don't know if my eldest brother still remembers that my wife has a nephew from my natal family, named Peng Li, who was once in our ethnology. I have been studying together for several years, and my elder brother has also met him before. He is gentle in temperament, talented in learning, and has not yet married..."

As he spoke, he paid attention to Jiang Zhengfu's expression: "This son is nineteen years old. Although he is three years younger than the girl, he has a calm temperament. If this marriage can be achieved, he will surely be able to share the worries of the elder brother in the future..."

"No need." Jiang Zhengfu bluntly refused: "The immortal master said that the person who is happy must be older than the previous son in terms of age and birthday, otherwise the disaster will not be suppressed, and it will be harmful to both of them."

"This..." The person who spoke was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Of course the words of the immortal master should be the most important thing..."

"Speaking of which, there is a young talent in my wife's family who has already made a name for himself, but he has never married a wife because he has devoted himself to studying—"

"I appreciate everyone's kindness." Jiang Zhengfu got up without any more patience and said, "I will personally select the candidates for Chongxi, so I don't need to bother you."

"Eldest brother—" Several people stood up, and the leader explained: "Eldest brother misunderstood, I have no intention of making decisions on behalf of elder brother... I just recommend some gentlemen who I think are suitable, and I will hand over to elder brother Just decide."

Jiang Zhengfu didn't intend to say much, and when he was about to call someone to see off the guests, he saw a servant walk in: "Master, someone came to ask for marriage outside the gate of the mansion, claiming that he would like to be married as a congratulations for the girl."

"By the way, which family's lord is it?" a clansman asked hastily.

"Not mentioned."

The clansman who asked the question then smiled coldly: "I dare not report my family name, it seems that I am just an unknown boy who is trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cling to him."

"He dared to come to ask for a marriage directly. Anyone can be my Jiang family's son-in-law?"

"After the news spread, I don't know how many whimsical people thought they could take the opportunity to change their lives. What a joke."

"Such matters have to be reported to the Patriarch? Hurry up and send them away."

When the servant was hesitating, he saw his Patriarch strode away from the front hall.

The crowd quickly followed.

The sky that had been dull for a whole day was thunderous, and the wind was blowing in all directions. While the green grass and trees were shaking, cold raindrops fell down.

Outside the gate of the Jiang Mansion, the man knelt straight.

Jiang Zhengfu stood still under the gate, looked at the young man kneeling under the stone steps, and his eyes fell on the wedding robe on his body.

The rain was getting heavier, and the wet wedding clothes looked a little dark.

In the carriage not far away, Heng Yu quietly looked at the figure kneeling in the rain.

Those few clansmen were almost overjoyed - this person came here in wedding clothes!
"May I ask which family Mr. Lang belongs to?" one of them asked.

The man in the rain replied: "I am an unknown person, not from a noble family, and no one in the family has been an official for generations."

"Then did you get the fame yourself?"

"I have no ambition to be an official."

A clansman sneered, and raised his finger upwards: "How dare you recommend yourself as your son-in-law? Can you see the name on the plaque above the gate of this mansion?"

The young man raised his eyes slightly, let the rain soak his eyelashes, and looked at Jiang Zhengfu: "Young lady from Changgui's mansion is two years old, with a prosperous horoscope, she has escaped from death several times and turned a bad luck into peace. Such a fate is suitable for you The girl from the mansion protects happiness and prevents disaster."

The looks of several clansmen became more and more disdainful and sarcastic. When they were about to speak, Jiang Zhengfu asked, "Where is the horoscope?"

Yan Ming took out a palm-sized box and offered it with both hands.

At Jiang Zhengfu's signal, the servant took the umbrella and took it.

"Brother..." Seeing that Jiang Zhengfu really opened the box and took out the note with the date of birth written inside it, some clansmen felt a little uneasy—the other party has such a condition, so the elder brother should seriously consider it, right?

"The younger generation is sincere, and I hope your lord will agree."

In the torrential rain, the young man knocked his head heavily.

Looking at the young man who had never concealed his hatred and hostility since meeting him in the capital, Jiang Zhengfu asked in a steady voice, "Can you really let go of everything?"

"I can't let it go..." The young man still maintained his kowtow posture, his voice was still clear and firm through the rain: "But above all, the junior's heart is no different from Linggong."

The noise of the rain.

Jiang Zhengfu was silent for a long time.

When he spoke again, he asked: "Then have you ever heard of the rumor that spread in Beijing today?"

According to the rumors, it was said that he recruited his son-in-law this time, obviously out of joy, but in fact it was to change his daughter's life - he got the sorcery of life-for-life from the immortal master.

Yan Ming raised his head and met his eyes through the rain and fog: "This junior is here for this."

As long as he could save her, even if he really had the sorcery of exchanging lives for lives, he would not hesitate at all, but would sacrifice himself immediately.

It's just a bad life, nothing to hide.

Seeing that Jiang Zhengfu and the young man were looking at each other silently, and their words seemed to be acquainted with each other, several clansmen were a little anxious: "Brother, this person's origin is still unknown, and this horoscope may not be fake..."

Jiang Zhengfu didn't seem to hear the voices of his clansmen, so he said directly: "Jiang Shu—"

"The villain is here." The steward bowed his head and stepped forward.

Jiang Zhengfu's tone was calm: "It's raining and windy, take my uncle into the mansion to change clothes."

"Yes."

"This... Eldest brother!" The clansman was shocked—so, just agreed?Is it easy enough to be a joke!

"Forgive me not far away." Jiang Zhengfu turned and returned to the mansion.

Several clansmen stood there and looked at each other.

The steward had brought someone forward with an umbrella and helped the young man who was kneeling there to his feet.

"Let's go." Heng Yu withdrew his gaze and told Cheng Ping.

"Girl...Master Jiang, did you agree to Military Doctor Yan's marriage proposal?" Cuihuai was astonished.

Jiang's son-in-law was very happy, and Yan Junyi's request for marriage was also sudden. Jiang Zhengfu agreed, which was even more surprising.

Hengyu didn't know what he had figured out, but at this moment he was so calm that he could only say one sentence: "Master Jiang... is indeed a good father."

Cuihuai sighed lightly, and said immediately: "But the identity of the military doctor Yan... The Jiang family and the Dingbeihou's residence have always been at odds with each other. If this matter spreads, will it cause criticism and trouble?"

Jiang Zhengfu's only daughter is married to a military doctor under the command of the Marquis of Dingbei... If someone with a heart makes a fuss and spreads it to the ears of a sage, it may not be a good thing.

"Military doctor Yan is different from Vice General Wang and the others. He doesn't often show up in front of people. He has not been in the capital for long. Few people know that he has seen him—" Heng Yu said: "What you and I can think of, Lord Hou and The Jiang family also wanted it, with the two of them around, it would be a breeze to change Doctor Yan's identity to a new one."

The wheels rolled by, leaving a shower of rain and fog behind the car.

"Girl!" The maid Qing Jin ran back through the rain and hurried into the inner room.

"How? Father..." Jiang Xuexi leaned against the head of the bed with a tense expression: "Did Father make things difficult for him?"

Qing Jin shook her head quickly, with a look of tears and smiles on her face: "Girl, the Lord has agreed!"

Jiang Xuexi froze, looked at the female envoy in disbelief, and said in a very soft voice, "...Agreed?"

"Yes, the Lord Lang himself changed his name and called Mr. Rong Ji a aunt!" Qing Jin shed tears of joy: "Miss, Mr. Rong Ji is now the aunt of the family!"

This is the person that the girl cared about when she was young. It is the person she has been looking for for nine years. She thought she would never see her again in this life...

But now, the girl can openly marry her!

This is a great joy...

But Qingjin's tears could not be stopped.
