Chapter 151 Ye Twelve's marriage
Li Tian went back and turned over the big box inch by inch four or five times, and almost dismantled several boxes, and there was no more discovery. People took the powder box and pen washing, Yu Ruyi and bracelets to Sun Ji and major antique shops to inquire about, but they were all things at least more than a decade ago. How can they find out? Naturally, there was nothing. Li Tian was disappointed and had to put these things away first.
In Dongyang Prince's Mansion, Mrs. Sun looked tired and crooked on the couch. On the night of the official's wedding letter, she suffered some cold. Although she was not ill, she was not in good spirits. Princess Liu took the ginseng soup presented by the girl and held it in front of Mrs. Sun respectfully, "Mother, drink a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup."
Mrs Sun slightly raised her upper body, took the ginseng soup and drank it. She handed the cover cup to Princess Liu Jun and said, "Just let the girl serve you. Sit down. I have something to tell you." The maids standing next to her quickly lowered their hands and quietly retreated. Princess Liu sat sideways on the edge of the couch and watched Mrs. Sun wait for her order.
"The twelve sisters are not young. I thought about it a few years ago that when this subject is released on the list, I will choose a good family for her from the new department." Mrs. Sun said slowly, and Princess Liu Jun's expression was slightly relaxed and said with a smile, "The 12th sister's luck has always been good. This year's Sandingjia is simply the reincarnation of three golden children, and she didn't say anything about kissing."
"Yes, I think the Leng family is good."
"Cold exploration of flowers?" Princess Liu Jun was very surprised. She didn't understand how Mrs. Sun chose the worst of the three: "Isn't it?"
"Cold exploration flowers are the most suitable!" Mrs. Sun's tone was a little heavy, and Princess Liu Jun quickly stopped. Mrs. Sun raised her eyelids and glanced at her and patiently explained, "You don't know the temperament of the 12th sister. The Jiang family and the Xu family are both a hundred-year-old family. Brother Jiang and Brother Xu must be the children of the clan. In the future, they will not be in charge of the whole family. The clan is also a very important figure in the clan. The twelve sisters can't afford to bear such a heavy responsibility when they get married. Although the Leng family is also the one who supports the door, the Leng family is poor and has no foundation, but only a small family can the twelve sisters be dealt with after marriage.
"Do you want to discuss this with the prince?" When Princess Liu saw that Mrs. Sun was dedicated to planning for Ye Twelve Niang, she did not consider the benefits of this marriage to Dongyang County Palace. She hesitated and couldn't help suggesting carefully. Mrs. Sun didn't even raise her eyelids: "Besides, even if the twelveth sister can afford it, if we are willing, the Jiang family and the Xu family will not marry us. No Go and touch this nail. Mrs. Wang Shizi of Nanning County is the niece of Leng Tanhua's mother. She will send her second daughter-in-law tomorrow. Mrs. Let's go to find out something. Leng's family is very ordinary. The dowry of the twelfth sister is thicker. In addition to the public, I will give her another 10,000 silver.
Princess Liu listened to Mrs. Sun's words and didn't dare to say half a no. She hurriedly answered and withdrew. She walked back for a long time and suddenly turned to the outer study to find Prince Dongyang.
The Jishi exam of the new scholars began soon. Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai naturally wanted to take the Jishi exam. They entered the field early in the morning, but Leng Mingsong did not sign up for reference. Seeing that the exam was almost over, he picked a quiet courtyard behind the Huixian Building, sat and drank tea and waited for the two to pass the exam.
Without many meetings, Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai followed the Pingsha outside into the small courtyard. The three of them sat down. Several tea and wine doctors served wine like running water and withdrew from the courtyard. Xu Sihai drank a few cups of tea and laughed, "You don't ask us how we did in the exam."
"Do you still need to ask? It's not about taking the test of a commoner. There was a little worry in Leng Mingsong's smile. Jiang Hong couldn't help but look at him more: "How can Jingzhi and I persuade you? You don't want to take the exam. If you want to do state and county practice, why worry about this year or two? You know, if you haven't done Hanlin's rule, it will be extremely difficult to enter the two prefectures."
"I don't have your ambition. I never thought about entering the two mansions." Leng Mingsong smiled gently and said, Xu Sihai took a few bites of vegetables before answering, "If you don't enter the two mansions, you should also be a Beijing official for a few years first. The six departments of the two mansions are familiar, and it's more convenient to go out of the place."
"Isn't there you in the capital?" Leng Mingsong looked at the two and smiled, and Jiang Hong then smiled: "That's right. We have been guarding them first in the past two years. If Jingzhi and I go to a place in a few years, we will first transfer you back to guard the capital." The three laughed together. Xu Sihai seemed to be hungry and fell like flying. After a while, he went to half of his favorite dishes. Then he put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine and smiled, "Okay, you are half full. You can drink. Have you chosen to go?"
"Can this really be chosen by me?" Leng Mingsong's words fell, and Xu Sihai raised his hand and knocked on Leng Mingsong: "I won't let you choose. What should I do for you with those vacant states and counties? That's what my father gave me. Do you think I stole it? Dad said that your father has been toss and counties for many years, and he knows how good and bad things are and easy to do everywhere. Let you quickly decide one quickly, so that you don't have to procrastinate.
"I'll find you tomorrow." Leng Mingsong said simply. Jiang Hong looked at Xu Sihai with a trace of confusion and said with a smile, "Xu Shangshu has always been fair and abide by the rules. How can you be so fooled? Don't you steal it from the vacant state or county? Xu Sihai said with a 'hum', "He missed me... What else can he do?" A strong pain flashed on Jiang Hong's face, and he smiled and said, "Have you broken your threshold in the past few days? This regression is to let you decide on the next one earlier, right? If there is a good one, it should be decided."
"I went to Puji Temple the day before yesterday and asked for a signature, saying that I was not suitable for marriage in the past two years. If I decide early, I will definitely have a bloody disaster. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Let them hurry for two years!" Xu Sihai looked an aggry face. Leng Mingsong looked at him and didn't know what to say. Jiang Hong smiled and said, "It's hard to get a signature? It's really hard for you."
Xu Sihai smiled and looked up and drank a glass of wine: "They are in a hurry. I'm not in a hurry. I'm tired of seeing everyone now. I'm tired of seeing each other when I get married back. Isn't it harmful to the little wife? OK, let's not talk about this. Although I took the exam, I really don't want to do anything to edit or study. I just want to do something practical. I haven't had a clue after thinking about it these days. You can give me some advice.
The three people talked for most of the day and saw that it was getting late. Then they got up and left the Huixian Tower. Xu Sihai got on the horse first and left. Jiang Hong was about to get on the horse back. Leng Mingsong pulled him and whispered, "I have something to tell you." Jiang Hong was so surprised that the two took a few steps into a teahouse.
Leng Mingsong said Yuyu: "Yesterday, Dongyang County Palace came to our house to propose marriage."
"Ah?" The expression on Jiang Hong's face was a little strange: "Which little lady is it?"
"It's said to be the twelve daughters." Jiang Hong heard that it was Ye Shiniang, and the expression on her face was even more strange. He half covered his face with the folding fan in his hand and coughed gently, "Your mother agreed?"
"My mother thinks it's good. I don't want to marry." Leng Mingsong lowered his voice, and Jiang Hongming said, "After releasing the list last month, you should ask your mother to mention it at the Nanning County Palace. Now the Dongyang County Palace has proposed marriage first. My aunt's temper is even willing in her heart, and now she dare not agree. Has your mother decided for you?"
"No, I won't. She won't force me. I'm afraid," Leng Ming said vaguely, "I'm afraid that she won't. I want to find a chance to ask her first and ask her if she will refuse. If she does, I will ask my mother again. She will be angry every time she sees me. I don't know if she will. Who knows, Dongyang Prince's Mansion will like me. Such a poor person."
"I'll help you figure this out." Jiang Hong looked out of the window at the red and blooming peony under the candlelight for a long time, and suddenly responded with a sigh, "I hope that there are lovers in the world who can become a family member. If you can fulfill your wish, you can't live up to her in this life anyway." Jiang Hong's last sentence was very harsh. Leng Mingsong didn't expect Jiang Hong to help him complete this. Unexpectedly, he almost couldn't react and just kept nodding, "No way. How can you do it? You can't say anything about it."
"Don't worry, I have my own way to speak." Jiang Hong didn't know what he was thinking, and answered a little absent-mindedly: "It's getting late. Let's go back. You can rest assured. As soon as there is any letter, I will tell you, wait." Jiang Hong suddenly asked again, "Who came to your house to mention this?"
"The cousin of the Ding family in the royal palace of Nanning County." Leng Mingsong replied, and Jiang Hong's face flashed speechless. He smiled and shook his head and said, "I just thought it was her. If it were others, maybe he could hide it from his aunt." Leng Ming sighed, and Jiang Hong smiled and said, "No matter what, you can rest assured that as long as you have a heart and she has a heart, we must complete this!" Leng Ming looked at him in a stunned way, suddenly sighed heavily and bowed to the end.
Jiang Hong resigned from Leng Mingsong and rode all the way. It was not until he turned out of Dongdazhi Street that he seemed to have made up his mind. He flashed everywhere in the shadows, stopped his horse, waved Kongshan to come over and bowed and said, "You go to Qingtongyuan to find Yue Niang and tell her two things. First, the royal palace of Dongyang County entrusted the son of Nanning Mrs. Ding went to Leng's house to propose marriage to Ye Twelve Niang. Second, Leng Dalang originally had the intention to propose marriage to Lin Erniang. Jiang Hong pondered for a moment and then ordered, "One more word, the royal palace of Dongyang County asked Princess Jiang to propose Ye 12 Niang to me."
Kongshan bent three fingers and repeated Jiang Hong's words intact. Seeing Jiang Hong nodding his head, he jumped off his horse and trotted to the direction of the Duke of Yongguo to send a message.
Yue Niang turned to the empty mountain and looked at Li Tian and said strangely, "This Jiang's Langjun is really inexplicable. What does he mean by this? You have made a marriage. That's the official's will. What else does he want?
