Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 132 Ye Twelve Niang's Marriage

Li Tian went back and searched the big box four or five times inch by inch, and nearly dismantled several boxes, but found nothing more, and asked someone to take the powder box, brush washer, jade ruyi, and bracelet I took Sun Ji and various antique shops to inquire, but they were all things that were at least ten years ago. Wherever I inquired, I found nothing. Li Tian was disappointed, so he had to put these things away first.

In the Prince's Mansion of Dongyang County, Mrs. Sun was lying on the couch with a tired expression. She got the marriage letter from the official. On that night, she suffered from some wind and cold. Although she did not fall ill, she was not in good spirits. The served ginseng soup was held in front of Mrs. Sun and respectfully said: "Mother, have a few sips of ginseng soup."

Mrs. Sun raised her upper body slightly, took the ginseng soup and drank it, handed the cover cup to Princess Liujun and said, "Just let the girl serve you. Sit down, and I have something to tell you." The girl standing next to her The children hurriedly lowered their hands and retreated quietly, Princess Liu Jun sat sideways on the edge of the couch, watching Mrs. Sun waiting for her orders.

"The twelfth sister is not young anymore. I thought about it years ago. When this subject is released, I will choose a good family for her from the new division Jinshi." Mrs. Sun said slowly, Princess Liu Jun looked slightly relaxed, She said with a smile: "The twelfth sister has always had good luck, this year's Sanding Jia is simply the reincarnation of three golden boys, and they didn't say anything about their marriage."

"Yes, I think the Leng family is better."

"Leng Tanhua?" Princess Liu Jun was very surprised, she didn't understand how Mrs. Sun would choose the one with the worst family background among the three: "The family is the best, will it?"

"Leng Tanhua is the most suitable!" Mrs. Sun's tone was a little serious, Princess Liu Jun hurriedly stopped her mouth, Mrs. Sun raised her eyelids to glance at her, and patiently explained: "You don't know the temper of the twelve sisters. , the Jiang family and the Xu family are both centuries-old clans, the brothers of the Jiang family and the Xu family must be the most valued children in the clan, and even if they do not rule the whole clan in the future, they will still be extremely important figures in the clan. In the past, I couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility, although the brother of the Leng family was also the supporter of the family, but the Leng family came from a poor background and had no foundation, but it is a small family, and the twelfth sister can only handle it after marrying."

"Do you want to discuss this matter with the prince?" Seeing that Mrs. Sun was only planning for Ye Twelve Niang, Princess Liu hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but carefully suggested. , Mrs. Sun didn't even lift her eyelids: "Besides, even if the twelfth sister can afford it, we are willing. The Jiang family and the Xu family will not be married to us, and we will not make a mistake. Nanning County King Mrs. Shizi is the niece of Leng Tanhua's mother. Tomorrow, she will send the second daughter-in-law for a visit. Mrs. Toding will come to find out. Leng's family background is very average. For the public, I will give her another [-] denarii."

Princess Liujun heard Mrs. Sun say so, how could she dare to say "no", she hurriedly agreed, and left, walked back with a heavy heart for a long time, then suddenly turned and went to the outer study to find the king of Dongyang County.

The Shu Jishi examination for the new Jinshi students will start soon. Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai will naturally take the Shu Jishi exam. They entered the venue early in the morning. A quiet small courtyard was chosen at the back, where they sat drinking tea and waited for the two to pass the exam.

Not long after, Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai followed Pingsha, who was outside, into the small courtyard. The three of them sat down after seeing the ceremony. Cup of Tea laughed and said, "You didn't even ask how we did in the exam."

"I still have to ask? It's not a bag to get something out of a good man." Leng Mingsong's smile was faintly worried, and Jiang Hong couldn't help but glance at him: "How can Jingzhi and I persuade you? You just refuse to take the exam. , if you want to do prefectural and county affairs, why rush in this year or two, you must know that it is very difficult to enter the two governments if you have not done the Hanlin Zhizhao according to the practice of this court."

"I don't have your ambitions. I never thought of entering the two mansions." Leng Mingsong smiled gently, and Xu Sihai took a few mouthfuls of food before continuing: "Even if you don't enter the two mansions, you should be in Beijing for a few years first." Officer, the six ministries of the two mansions are all familiar, so it is easier to go out."

"Isn't there you in the capital?" Leng Mingsong looked at the two of them and smiled, and Jiang Hong also laughed: "That's true, we will guard it for the past two years, and if Jingzhi and I go to other places in a few years, we will go to the place first." Find a way to transfer you back to guard the capital." The three of them laughed together, Xu Sihai seemed to be famished, sipping his chopsticks like flying, after a while, half of his favorite dishes were gone, and then he put down his chopsticks, He took a sip of the wine and smiled: "Okay, I'm half full, I can drink now, did Shou Dao choose where to go?"

"It's really up to me to choose?" Leng Mingsong's words fell silent, Xu Sihai raised his hand and knocked Leng Mingsong: "If you don't let me choose, what am I going to do with those vacant counties for you? Dad gave them to me. Do you think I copied it secretly? My father said that your father has been in various states and counties for many years, and he is very aware of the pros and cons of various places, so he asked you to quickly order one, so as not to procrastinate for a long time and cause trouble."

"I'll look for you tomorrow." Leng Mingsong said bluntly, Jiang Hong looked at Xu Sihai with a hint of confusion in his eyes and smiled: "Xu Shangshu has always been fair and abiding by the rules, how can you allow you to be so nonsense? Just pick the vacant states and counties, really Didn't you steal it?" Xu Sihai hummed and said, "What can he do if he missed me?" Jiang Hong's face flashed with intense pain, and he forced a smile to cover it up: "These days, we are talking about kissing each other." Have you broken through your threshold? This regress is to let you make a decision earlier? If there is a good one, you should make a decision."

"I went to Puji Temple the day before yesterday to ask for a root lottery and came back, saying that I am not suitable for marriage in the past two years. If the appointment is too early, I will definitely suffer a bloody disaster. Anyway, I am not in a hurry, let them wait for two years!" Xu Sihai looked angry. However, Leng Mingsong looked at him and didn't know what to say, Jiang Hong smiled and said: "I finally got the lottery? It's really hard for you."

Xu Sihai smiled, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass: "They are in a hurry, but I am not in a hurry. I feel bored seeing everyone now, and I am tired of seeing each other when I get married. Isn't it hurting the little lady? Okay, let's Let’s not talk about this, even though I passed the Shu Jishi exam, I really don’t want to do editing or library studies, I just want to do some practical things, I haven’t got a clue after thinking about it for a few days, you guys can help me out.”

The three talked for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, they got up and left Huixian Building. Xu Sihai got on his horse first and left. Jiang Hong was about to get on his horse and go back. Leng Mingsong pulled him and said in a low voice: "I have something to tell you " Jiang Hong understood, and the two walked a few steps forward and entered a teahouse.

Leng Mingsong said gloomily: "Yesterday, the Prince's Mansion of Dongyang County came to our house to propose marriage."

"Ah?" The expression on Jiang Hong's face was a bit strange: "Which little lady is it?"

"Say it's Twelve Niangs." When Jiang Hong heard that it was Ye Twelve Niangs, the expression on his face became even weirder, he half covered his face with the folding fan in his hand, coughed lightly and said, "Your Aunt agreed? "

"My aunt thinks it's good, but I don't want to marry." Leng Mingsong said in a low voice, and Jiang Hongming said 'oh' in understanding: "The list was released last month, so you should let your aunt go to the Nanning County Prince's Mansion to mention her." Give it a try, now that Dongyang County Prince's Mansion has proposed marriage first, and my aunt's temper, even if she is willing in her heart, she dare not agree now, has your aunt made a decision for you?"

"No, I won't, she won't force me, I'm afraid." Leng Mingsong mumbled: "I'm afraid she won't, I just want to find an opportunity to ask her first, ask her if she is willing, she If I let Auntie propose marriage again, she will get angry every time she sees me, I don't know if she will, who knows, the Dongyang County Palace will take a fancy to a poor man like me."

"I'll help you figure out a way to do this." Jiang Hong stared at the bright red peonies in full bloom by the candlelight outside the window for a long time, and suddenly agreed: "I only hope that all lovers in the world can become family members. For the rest of your life, no matter what, you can't let her down." Jiang Hong's last words were very harsh, Leng Mingsong didn't expect Jiang Hong to help him complete this matter, he almost couldn't react unexpectedly, he just nodded and said: "Brother No, how did you make it happen? You can’t say anything about it.”

"Don't worry, I have my own way, I have something to say." Jiang Hong didn't know what he was thinking, and answered a little absent-mindedly: "It's getting late, let's go back, don't worry, as soon as you have something to believe Son, I’ll tell you, wait a minute.” Jiang Hong suddenly asked again: “Who brought this matter to your house?”

"Cousin of Ding's family in Nanning County Prince's Mansion." Leng Mingsong replied, Jiang Hong's face flashed speechless, smiled and shook his head and said: "I just thought it was her, if it was another family, maybe I could hide it from my aunt." Leng Mingsong Sighing, Jiang Hong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, don't worry, as long as you have a heart, and she has a heart, we will make it happen!" Leng Ming stared at him blankly, suddenly sighed heavily, and bowed to the end.

Jiang Hong resigned from Leng Mingsong, and rode on the horse in a daze all the way, until he turned out of Dongdazhi Street, he seemed to have made up his mind, dodged into the shadows, stopped his horse, beckoned Kong Shan to come over and bowed his ear and said : "Go to Qingtongyuan, look for Yue Niang, and tell her two things. First, the Dongyang County Prince's Mansion asked Mrs. Ding, the wife of the Prince of Nanning County, to come to Leng's house to propose marriage to Ye Twelve Niang. Willing to propose marriage to Lin Erniang." Jiang Hong pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "One more thing, Dongyang County Prince's Mansion also entrusted Jiang County Princess to propose marriage to Ye Twelve Niang."

Kong Shan curled up three fingers, and repeated Jiang Hong's words exactly. Seeing that Jiang Hong nodded, jumped off his horse, and trotted towards Duke Yong's mansion to deliver the message.

Yue Niang turned Kong Shan's words, looked at Li Tian and said strangely: "This Mr. Jiang's family is really incomprehensible, what did he mean by telling you this? You are already engaged, and that is the government's order, what else does he want?"
