Then Jiang Hai pulled Yuchi Ziling upstairs and back to the house, no longer in the mood to eat.
"Ahem, uh..." Wenzhi couldn't bear to watch it anymore and stuffed a chicken leg into Cai'er's mouth.
"There is no idle land in the world, yet farmers still starve to death." The peacock with its tail spread out murmured the poem to itself and returned to its seat.
However, these playboys did not take it too seriously. They just hit a wall and continued to eat and drink as usual.
Upstairs guest rooms.
"There's no idle land in the world, yet farmers still starve to death." Yuchi Ziling carefully recalled the poem Jiang Hai had just said. She frowned, as it truly described Darong's current situation.
"Jiang Lang, you can write poetry, but you write it very well. The world is just like what you described in your poem."
Jiang Hai jumped away. It was nothing, he was just frightened by the sudden words "Jiang Lang".
"Ah, you changed your name to Jiang Lang."
In this era, couples would generally address each other like this, and families of officials would call their husbands "Master".
Yuchi Ziling's face turned slightly red.
"No, you've been calling me wife for so long, so shamelessly."
"Okay, very good, very good, I should have said that a long time ago." Jiang Hai felt relieved. It felt good to be recognized.
As for poetry, who among those who travel through time is not a plagiarist? Jiang Hai didn't care too much about it.
Yuchi Ziling sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. She was hurried upstairs, barely finishing her meal or even taking a sip of tea. Jiang Hai leaned over and asked for one too.
"I will be able to arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow to see my parents," said Yuchi Ziling.
"Oh, are you nervous? Don't be nervous, relax, it's like being home." Jiang Hai followed her and said.
"..." Yuchi Ziling almost choked, "I was going home anyway, so you should be nervous, and you're trying to comfort me."
"You know, I'm thick-skinned. What's your home or my home? I think they're both our home." Jiang Hai took a sip of tea.
It was the first time she'd heard him speak like that. As she watched him quietly, Yuchi Ziling found it increasingly difficult to understand this guy. His thoughts were always strange, unlike those of any man of this era. But somehow, she felt quite warmed by his presence.
"What? Do you think what I said makes sense?" Seeing that she was stunned, Jiang Hai continued speaking.
"It seems a little bit." Yuchi Ziling nodded.
Jiang Hai yawned, feeling a bit tired at the moment. "I'm sleepy, my lady, let's go to bed."
"You go to sleep, I'm going back." Yuchi Ziling stood up, glanced at him, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, you are such a rude person. You are husband and wife, shouldn't you sleep together?" Jiang Hai started talking nonsense again.
"Jiang Lang, please have a good rest. I'll take my leave." Yuchi Ziling bowed to him respectfully, then walked out of the room with a smile.
Yuchi Ziling closed the door. At this time, Cai'er had finished eating the chicken leg and went upstairs to find the young lady. The master and servant went back to the room to rest together.
…
Another story goes that Fatty Jin, who was rescued at the beach before, bought a horse in Dongshan County and then ran to Nanzhou City.
The Jinshui Chamber of Commerce has a branch in Nanzhou City. After Fatty Jin arrived in Nanzhou City, he reported the attack at sea to the capital via the branch and sent someone to report it at full speed.
Fatty Jin stayed in Nanzhou City to recuperate. Jiang Hai and his companions did not encounter Fatty Jin when they passed by Nanzhou City.
The person who brought the news set out earlier than Jiang Hai and his companions and had already arrived in the capital for several days.
The Jinshui Chamber of Commerce was registered under the name of Prince Xuan's Palace. Crown Prince Yang Zhe would just hang out there occasionally to show off. The real person in charge was the Chamber of Commerce's president, Wu Yi.
When Wu Yi received the news, he hurried to report to Yang Zhe, but unexpectedly, the eldest son Yang was still living a life of drunkenness and had no time to pay attention to Chairman Wu Yi.
Wu Yi had no choice but to send someone to investigate the situation. He left a message here, saying he would report back in detail after the prince finished his sauntering around in the brothel. The matter was left hanging for the time being.
Yang Zhe didn't know about this until Jiang Hai arrived in the capital. He then hurried to find Wu Yi to find out what happened.
This is a big deal. The Jinshui Chamber of Commerce earns a lot of money from human trafficking. If this income is cut off, the Third Prince will definitely blame us.
Now everyone in the court knew that the next emperor would most likely be the Third Prince. Yang Zhe did not want to offend the Third Prince.
…
Two days passed quickly.
Jiang Hai and his group have arrived in the capital and are heading towards the general's mansion.
With Yuchi Ziling around, entering the city wasn't a problem. After all, her father was a third-rank general, so the soldiers guarding the gate wouldn't dare to make things difficult for them. Furthermore, Jiang Hai and the others all had all the necessary paperwork.
When they arrived at the general's mansion, Yuchi Zhong and his wife were already waiting at the door.
Knowing that Jiang Hai and his group would be coming in the next two days, they had already sent people to wait outside the city. When they saw Jiang Hai's carriages and horses, they returned early to report.
Waiting at the door was Hao Bo, the Jiang family's manager in the capital, whom Jiang Xiuyuan had previously asked to arrange accommodations. Beside Hao Bo was a matchmaker.
"Oh, young master, you are here." Uncle Hao was very excited, but he hadn't seen his young master for a long time.
Yuchi Zhong and his wife led the group into the general's residence. Jiang Hai's group was quite large, so only a few porters and Wenzhi Qin Bai went in.
Yuchi Ziling took her mother's arm and walked into the house with a happy smile on her face.
When he arrived in front of the main hall, he asked someone to put down the glittering golden betrothal gift.
There were several "bang bang bang" sounds, and it felt like the ground was shaken up with a little smoke and dust. Yuchi Zhong and his wife were both startled.
"This..." Su Hui looked at her daughter in confusion.
Yuchi Ziling whispered to her that these things were all made of real gold, even the shoulder pole.
Su Hui was a little breathless. This was too exaggerated. Yuchi Zhong and his wife had originally thought it was a beautiful wooden gift box painted with gold.
Before Su Hui could recover, the matchmaker had already come forward, saying a bunch of nice things, and then presented the engagement letter and gift book. The key point was to make the process smooth, so get the real business done first.
After the handover, according to Jiang Hai's instructions, the appointment process was quickly completed. Siqin had already chosen the date when they were in the new city.
Then all that’s left is the wedding, which will take place in a month.
All necessary etiquette should be observed.
Yuchi Zhong was very satisfied. He saw that Jiang Hai's words and deeds were decent and generous, and he was good-looking. Except for his lower status as a chief clerk, he was a good match for his daughter in other aspects.
Of course, the old father didn't know that his cabbages had been eaten by the pig. Jiang Hai was also visiting his father-in-law's house for the first time. He pretended to be a decent person, but in fact, he was also very tired.
When Yuchi Zhong asked the servants to put away the betrothal gifts, they were embarrassed because they couldn't lift them.
"What's going on?"
Su Hui moved closer and told him that these were all made of gold.
So that's how it is. Yuchi Zhong couldn't help but give Jiang Hai a ten-point boost. It seemed like Jiang Xiuyuan was doing quite well in southern Xinjiang.
In the end, Jiang Hai asked someone to help carry the betrothal gifts away.
