Rong Xuqing said, "I will marry."
"Yeah, we can finally have the feast." Rong Yuanyou jumped up happily.
"Shh!" Rong Yubai hurriedly held down his stupid brother who didn't know how to read his expression.
Didn’t you see that elder sister is not happy?
"Xu Qing, don't act on impulse. It's all Dad's fault. Dad will go and apologize to them." Rong Baichuan soothed him.
"You need to find someone you like, someone who loves you like your father loves your mother. We can't settle. I'll go and explain it to them right away..."
"No need, Dad. Brother Jiang is a very good man, and my daughter is willing to marry him."
"Isn't it too much of a stretch?" Rong Baichuan looked worried.
Why... I feel like I'm forcing my child to get married.
Rong Xuqing raised the corner of his lips and shook his head, "I won't force it."
"No need to argue." Qin Nanjing said, standing at the gate, "Someone from the Jiang family is coming."
She was not worried about this arranged marriage.
Chaoxi had said that the two of them were destined to be together, but the time had not yet come.
The Jiang family first sent a servant to inquire, and if there was no problem, they would arrive later.
…
Chiang's Mansion.
After the servant came back and reported that they agreed to come, Mrs. Jiang kept urging her.
Finally, Jiang Xinran dressed up her elder brother.
As soon as Jiang Lingyu stepped out of the room, everyone covered their mouths and exclaimed in surprise, not daring to recognize him.
He wore a magnolia-colored, wide-sleeved brocade robe, a jade belt wrapped around his waist. His hair was half-tied, draped over his shoulders. He wore a white jade crown and a green jade hairpin. He looked refined and elegant, exuding a sense of nobility.
Even his usually cold and hard eyebrows softened a lot.
"Oh my god, is this still my son?" Mrs. Jiang spun Jiang Lingyu around in circles, a look of disbelief on her face, "My son can actually look so elegant."
Jiang Lingyu practiced martial arts since he was a child, and later worked in the Dali Temple. From childhood to adulthood, he always wore narrow-sleeved round robes and dark-colored clothes.
Her hair was combed up meticulously, and she looked very dull.
The appearance of this elegant and handsome young man at this moment is truly eye-catching.
"Young Master looks so handsome dressed like this."
"Yes, yes, if the eldest master had dressed like this earlier, he would have had a child..."
"Am I being too exaggerated?" Jiang Lingyu felt uneasy and wanted to lift her hair up. "I'd better change back to my previous outfit."
"No." Jiang Xinran stopped at the door. "If you go to see Xu Qing like this, she will definitely be impressed."
She said it with great certainty.
As one of Rong Xuqing's best friends, she knew the girl's preferences very well.
At this critical moment, the eldest brother must listen to her.
"Let's go, it's impolite to be late."
He took the gift and pushed the two of them out.
As soon as the father and son stepped out of the house, someone came up to congratulate them.
"Master Jiang, congratulations! You are so lucky to have the Emperor grant you a marriage."
"At the wedding banquet, we have to come and ask for a glass of wine..."
"Hahahaha... Of course, of course, no problem..." Minister Jiang's face was wrinkled with laughter.
Putting aside the fact that my son can finally get married.
Just the fact that it was a "marriage granted by the emperor" was already a rare honor.
What's more, he married the daughter of the God of War of Dongwu, the emperor's confidant.
Rong Xuqing's reputation in Kyoto is also unparalleled. Her son is really lucky to marry such a great wife.
The bright and glorious future of the Chiang family is just around the corner.
Unlike Lord Jiang who was happy and at ease, Jiang Lingyu seemed worried and at a loss.
It felt unreal to him.
A month ago, Rong Xuqing was still unhappy with his touch, but now she actually agreed to the marriage arranged by His Majesty.
"Uncle Rong, Aunt Jing..."
When they arrived at the general's residence, Jiang Lingyu followed his father in greeting in a dull manner.
Everyone in the Rong family was indeed dazzled when they saw him.
"Ling Yu looks very different today. He looks more handsome than usual." Qin Nanjing said softly.
"No...it's just..." Jiang Lingyu was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
"You kid...!" Rong Baichuan circled around him and nodded with satisfaction, "You're actually quite good-looking, barely worthy of our Xu Qing."
"..." Qin Nanjing pulled Rong Baichuan, "Pay attention to etiquette."
When Minister Jiang was still alive, how could anyone belittle someone else's son like that?
"General Rong is right. I'm trying to get ahead of myself," Minister Jiang said cheerfully. "Do you all have some free time to come to my house for a small gathering?"
"Of course there's time."
Seeing that it was getting late, the couple took Rong Xuqing to Jiang's residence first, while Rong Yubai and Rong Yuanyou went to the palace gate to pick up Rong Chaoxi.
Return to Jiang's residence.
Cai Hong was actually waiting outside the mansion.
"Tsk! Why is this kid here?!"
Rong Baichuan got angry when he saw him. It was all because of him that his daughter was about to get married.
"We are guests today, please don't cause trouble." Qin Nanjing quickly grabbed the person who wanted to fight.
"Stinky boy, next time you come to my general's mansion, I will definitely treat you well."
After Rong Baichuan finished his harsh words, he was dragged into the Jiang residence by his wife and daughter on both sides.
Jiang Lingyu walked up to Cai Hong and frowned, "What are you doing here?"
"Jiang Lingyu, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to get this beautiful girl so early. It's fine if you don't even know how to express gratitude, but why are you being so rude to your benefactor?"
Cai Hong said with a playful smile, "You are dressed up like a gentleman today, it would be inappropriate if you don't smile. Come on, smile for me to see."
Snap——
Jiang Lingyu slapped away Cai Hong's outstretched hand in disgust.
"What's going on? If you have nothing else, get out!"
"Tsk! How boring." Cai Hong folded his arms and said lazily, "I've helped you so much, now you can finally let my people go."
"Your person?" Jiang Lingyu rolled his eyes at him. "You dumped her three months ago, and now you're going back to her?"
"Oh... You know so much about my brother. It seems you..."
Snap——
Cai Hong reached out to touch Jiang Lingyu's chin, but was slapped away again.
"Anyone who violates the laws of Dongwu will not be able to escape from my sight. You'd better not get involved, otherwise I will spare no effort to find evidence of your crime and send you to jail!"
"Oh, how heartless..." Cai Hong said slowly, "We used to be friends."
"From the moment you started going astray, we're no longer friends! Cai Hong, you'd better stick to your bottom line!"
After saying that, Jiang Lingyu turned around and went back.
"I saw it, but there's nothing I can do." Cai Hong tilted his head slightly and said to the back.
"Young Marquis, please think of another way, please save Luo Wen!" Madam Tian grabbed Cai Hong's clothes, tears streaming down her face.
"Only you can save us, please, young marquis..."
Cai Hong pulled out his clothes and brushed away the tears on them with disgust. "How shameless of you to let me offend others for you."
He got on the sedan chair and said, "Go back home."
Her last hope was gone, and Mrs. Tian sat on the ground and broke down crying.
The Tian family is destined to decline.
