Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 252 I've Been Thinking About It for Years
Zhu Er got married a few years ago. Princess Yong is the daughter of General Chen. He also has a concubine, Xiao Qingmei, his childhood neighbor in his hometown. She is a widow who remarried and is a decent person. He is now the father of three children.

Yang Chengzhuo and Yang Chengzhi are going to take exams this year, and Yang Chengshao and his two five-year-old brothers need to go to school, so Ke Mucheng did not take his grandson to the capital.

The parents had to stay at home to take care of the children, so Ke Mucheng took Yang Xiu'e, Yang Wenxiao and Ke Xiuyu, three siblings, Yang Shuangshuang and a group of guards and servants to the capital.

Yang Chengzhuo returned home on vacation. When he heard that his grandmother had taken her sisters and others to go to the capital for fun, the sixteen-year-old boy burst into tears loudly and was very sad.

"When I grow up, I won't be your sweetheart anymore, right?"

Ke Muqing and his group arrived early. When they arrived in the capital, the emperor and the brave prince who had led the army in person had not returned yet.

After returning to Prince Zhao's Mansion and resting for a day, the next day Ke Mucheng brought a few people into the palace to meet the Queen and the Crown Prince. When they left the palace, Yang Chuxue and Yang Chuning followed them, and they went directly to the Mansion of Marquis Xingguo.

As luck would have it, the carriage of several people stopped at the gate of Xingguo Marquis Mansion, and they happened to meet Prince Ning who was about to go in.

"Uncle King Ning!" Yang Chuxue called out.

Prince Ning slowly turned around while waving his folding fan, thinking that only Yang Chuxue and Yang Chuning had arrived. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Ke Muqing jumping off the carriage.

"When did my sister-in-law return to Beijing?" Pei San turned back and walked towards Ke Mucheng.

"I arrived yesterday." Ke Muqing looked at Pei San with a smile, "I heard that the old iron tree has bloomed, so I hurried to the capital to watch the fun."

Pei San: “…”

There is no doubt that this old iron tree must be describing him.

This made Pei San unable to find any words to answer for a while.

Ke Muqing asked, "Did Madam Li break your legs?"

"Aunt, my uncle Prince Ning almost moved into the Xingguo Marquis's mansion in order to ask for the eldest sister of the Li family's hand in marriage! Although my uncle Prince Ning is a little older, he has taken good care of himself and his face is still quite good-looking. The eldest sister of the Li family once said that my uncle Prince Ning has a handsome face and does not look like a man in his thirties."

Pei San almost couldn't hold the folding fan in his hand. "An old man in his thirties? I call thirty-two an old man, then what do you call your aunt's age?"

"Call me old lady. I'm nearly fifty years old, and you're nearly forty years old." Ke Muqing asked, "What's wrong with that?"

"Sister-in-law, you are forty-eight, which means you are almost fifty. How can I be almost forty at only thirty-two? How can I be an old man?" Pei San didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How can you be so disrespectful to me?"

"Just kidding." Ke Muqing patted Pei San's shoulder. "A man is in his prime at 31. It's good for you to get married at this age. Come on, let's go in together."

These words of comfort were very casual, but Pei San was comforted.

When Ke Mucheng arrived, the three sisters-in-law of the Li family came out to greet him personally.

Pei San saw Madam Li fanning herself and bowed, "Mother-in-law."

Madam Li felt a heart attack when she saw her future son-in-law who was only a few years younger than her, but apart from his age, she really couldn't find fault with Prince Ning. Thinking of her daughter's hard-to-conceal good mood these days, Madam Li looked at Prince Ning with more favor. After all, it was her daughter who liked him, so it was fine as long as she was willing.

Prince Ning came to take Miss Li to the street. He originally wanted to go out for a stroll alone with the future princess, but when he went out, he found a bunch of followers.

In the past, I thought all of these children were cute and I liked them all. But today, I feel that all of them are superfluous.

"See? Prince Ning's face was about to break when he went out." Ke Muqing and Madam Li joked.

The children of the Yang family plus the children of the Li family are not just a bunch of followers. How bright will this group of light bulbs be? "I'm curious about how you agreed to Prince Ning's marriage proposal?" Ke Muqing looked at Madam Li.

Madam Li Er spoke frankly and said, "That's because Prince Ning and my eldest sister-in-law promised that no matter whether he has a successor or not in the future, he will not want other women, and he will only stay with our eldest daughter for the rest of his life."

This promise is too heavy, so it’s no wonder that Mrs. Li gave in.

After Madam Li Er finished speaking, she looked at Ke Muqing and asked, "Have you made any plans for your Shuangshuang's marriage? Shuangshuang is already eighteen years old. Are you willing to marry her off?"

"Whether you are willing to give up or not depends on where you marry and who you marry." Ke Muqing knew that Madam Li Er was talking about something else, so he asked, "Why? Do you have a good man who wants to match my Shuangshuang with you?"

Madam Li Er smiled. She herself was a straightforward person, and she also knew that the old lady of the Yang family was also a straightforward person.

So she asked directly, "What do you think of my Li Jue? My child has been thinking about your Shuangshuang for many years, but he has been fighting outside with the emperor and the brave prince all these years. He is away from home and it is difficult to talk about his marriage. Now he can finally come back, right? The boy wrote a letter himself."

When Madam Li Er mentioned the letter, she immediately asked the maid to take out the letter written by Li Yu to her. "Let me show you the letter from my boy. I'll show you how much he fears that Shuangshuang will be taken away by someone else. He has been in contact with your Shuangshuang for many years, fearing that Shuangshuang would forget him and get married before he comes back."

"So he would write back from time to time to inquire whether your family has arranged a marriage for Shuangshuang."

"Prince Ning dares to give a guarantee to the Li family, and the Li family also dares to give a guarantee to the Yang family."

What Mrs. Li Er said was that Prince Ning and the Li family promised that no matter whether they had heirs or not, they would never take concubines in this life.

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she waited for Ke Mucheng's answer.

What kind of suffering did they not suffer when they left home? So the three sisters-in-law of the Li family are now very open-minded.

As for children’s marriages, it should be decided by the children themselves. Family honor is just empty talk. People should live realistically. In this short life, they should be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and also be worthy of themselves.

Madam Li Er really likes Yang Shuangshuang. She is a little happy person who can make her dull son open up. She has been thinking about her for so many years. Naturally, she wants to help her son marry his sweetheart.

This is also the reason why the Li family has maintained contact with the Yang family for so many years and never forgets to send gifts during festivals.

"Although I am the child's grandmother, the child's marriage still needs his own approval." Ke Muqing said, "You have seen my son, he is 18 years old and still has not shown any signs of sensibility. I like your young man very much. When he comes back, you can ask him to work hard. When both of them come to tell me that they want to get married, my Yang family will immediately prepare to marry off their daughter."

Ke Mucheng said this to tell Madam Li Er that she agreed to this marriage, and it depended on whether Yang Shuangshuang herself nodded.

Madam Li clapped her thigh happily and said, "When that boy comes back, let him seek advice from his brother-in-law, Prince Ning."
