Chapter 214 Marriage
In the morning of the next day, the two marriage decrees were sent to Jiang's mansion and Jingwang's son's mansion respectively. In two days, the news that Zhenbeihou Mansion was going to marry Lingnan Jingwang Mansion spread all over the capital. Thinking of the previous rumors about the son of King Jing and the girl of the Jiang family, the people in the capital suddenly became excited again.
However, the excitement and gossip of unrelated people waiting secretly cannot affect the parties involved in this matter. This marriage was personally designated by the emperor. No matter how messy some people are, they only dare to guess a few words with close people at home. When facing others, everyone can only say two sour words together at most. No one will be stupid enough to bring up the old things again and splash dirty water on Jiang Ting and Liu Yao. After all, they were married by the emperor himself this time, and such a favor can't be found by anyone!
After the imperial edict was sent to King Jing's Mansion, Liu Yao was excited all day and night and had not calmed down. If it hadn't been for King Jing's pressure, he would have rushed to Jiang's house that day. King Jing didn't like this, so he deliberately delayed it for two days and took Liu Yao to visit Jiang's house on the third day.
The Jiang family's attitude towards this marriage is naturally not as satisfactory as Jing Wang and Liu Yao. Jiang Yong understood that the reason why King Jing agreed with Liu Yao to marry Jiang Ting and even sacrificed his own image to help his son achieve his wish must have a special purpose.
And as deep as the Prince Jing, he will try his best to promote the purpose of this marriage, not just for the honor and favor of that edict. Jiang Yong secretly guessed that the reason why the King of Geometry would do so should be more for the King of Jing's mansion to connect with the capital in the future.
However, whether it is the emperor's purpose of holding down King Jing's Mansion or King Jing's hope, it will eventually fall on Jiang Ting. This is what Jiang Yong doesn't want to see. Because he doesn't want his beloved daughter to become a victim of political marriage in the future.
However, the imperial edict has been issued, and even if Jiang Yong is unwilling, he has to marry his daughter to Jingwang's mansion according to the holy will. Fortunately, Ting'er is willing to do this marriage. If it hadn't been for this, Jiang Yong, who regarded women as his life, would have resisted the order long ago. Jiang Ting's attitude made Jiang Yong choose to obey the imperial edict. But this does not mean that he will forgive the royal family and Prince Jing for their calculations on the Jiang family. However, he can't do anything now. All he can do is to get more conditions for his daughter to live a happier future.
With such a mood, Jiang Yong naturally couldn't talk and laugh with him when he saw Queen Jing. King Jing knew that he was in a bad mood, and he could see that Jiang Yong was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything useful. He directly called Liu Yao to him and said to him, "Yao'er, let's meet your father-in-law."
Liu Yao was immediately happy when he heard the four words "father-in-law". He wanted to laugh shyly and make a good impression on Jiang Yong. Unfortunately, he underestimated his happiness and his patience. Therefore, Liu Yao was silly and happy. He knelt down and bowed down to Jiang Yong and greeted him in a loud voice: "My son-in-law, please say hello to your father-in-law!"
Looking at Liu Yao, who smiled at himself like a fool, Jiang Yong's heart was finally a little empty. At least he feels that this marriage is not without merit. At least the bastard in front of me really likes Ting'er. No matter what other people's intentions are involved in this marriage, as long as this bastard knows how to protect Ting'er and can bring happiness to Ting'er, he has nothing to refuse.
Although the emperor gave the imperial edict to marry, he did not specify the date of marriage. Therefore, after bargaining with Prince Jing, the two families finalized the marriage in May three years later. That is, Jiang Ting will not marry Lingnan until she is 18 years old.
Of course, Liu Yao is not satisfied with the wedding so late. He can't wait to marry Jiang Ting home immediately. But parents and elders have the final say in marriage affairs. Even if he had any opinions, he was forced back by Jingwang and Jiang Yong with their eyes before he opened his mouth. Fortunately, Prince Jing was not a vegetarian, and Jiang Yong had to set a wedding date after several confrontations. Otherwise, according to Jiang Yong's intention, I'm afraid he will keep Jiang Ting at home until she is 20 years old!
The two families have agreed on the wedding date, and the procedure is much simpler. The emperor has decreed, so the early procedures such as marriage and blind date can be omitted. The two families directly exchanged Geng posts. Prince Jing made a special trip to Si Tianjian to find someone to combine the eight characters. After getting the conclusion of "the best match", he directly took Liu Yao to Jiang's house to give a bride price.
Jiang Yong expressed helplessness about the high enthusiasm shown by this father and son. But he also understands that they are not better interested in this marriage. Therefore, he did not embarrass King Jing and Liu Yao. He directly received the bride price, wrote a marriage certificate with King Jing and set the wedding date. The wedding date is set in May three years later, as discussed before.
After all this dust settled, Jiang Ting herself was still a little confused and felt very confused. To be honest, she always feels that things are changing too fast and unimaginable. Originally, she had committed suicide in order to save her reputation, but in a blink of an eye, the emperor gave her a great reward, transforming her from an ordinary marquis's daughter to a real second-grade county leader!
Then, before she realized what difference this identity change had brought to her life, another imperial edict hit her head. Marriage! Generally, the honor that only princes and grandchildren can enjoy will come to themselves. This is too ridiculous! It's true that she wants to marry Liu Yao's little persimmon, but she never thought that this marriage would be achieved by giving marriage!
Then, Dad didn't want to tell her the truth of the matter, so he directly agreed to the marriage. Well, the emperor has issued the imperial edict. If Dad disagrees, he will resist the edict. He had to agree. But what she didn't expect was that her father would be so cooperative to receive the bride price from King Jing and write a wedding letter to others.
Dad even wrote a marriage proposal, which indicates that she will marry that little persimmon in three years. Three years later, she will be 18 years old, which is not too early to get married. However, although she knew that the result was what she wanted. But why is she so unrealistic?
And just as Jiang Ting herself felt confused, Jiang Yong told her a surprising news. Liu Yao will go back to Lingnan with King Jing next month.
