As soon as Nian Nian turned seventeen, she set off for Kyoto.
Wei Cunqing and Liu Qin are not in Youzhou. They are traveling around the world, but they brought a letter saying that they will go to Kyoto at the end of the year to arrange Nian Nian's marriage, and asked Nian Nian to go to Kyoto and wait first.
Nian Nian smiled with relief, and she set off for Kyoto with Wei Wen Chong.
Wei Wen Chong knew that his sister was going to Kyoto this time to marry Ye Taoan, and would stay in Kyoto afterwards.
He couldn't bear to leave his sister, but seeing her happy, he had no choice but to let her go.
"Sister, are you really going to marry Ye Taoan?" Wei Wen Chong said with a stern face.
He is four years younger than his sister and is thirteen years old this year. He is not a child who knows nothing.
Ye Taoan and her sister have never met in all these years, and they only communicate through letters.
They were not particularly familiar with each other, having only met a few times eight years ago and verbally agreed to get married.
Why does he feel that it is inappropriate for his sister to marry a strange man?
"Yes! Why not? Ye Taoan and I are already engaged, and we've been exchanging letters over the years. Now I'm going to Kyoto, isn't it to marry him?
Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You will also want to start a family in the future." Nian Nian said with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, she is already seventeen! This trip to Kyoto is to marry Ye Taoan. After she marries Ye Taoan, she will have to stay in Kyoto and learn to be a mistress of the house!
However... the current head of the Ye family is Ye Taoan's aunt, the wife of the Duke of Jin.
As for Ye Taoan's father and mother, they have no status in the Ye family.
Ye Taoan is considered the most outstanding young man in the second branch of the Ye family.
Last year, Ye Taoan was ranked third in the imperial examination. Now he works in the Ministry of Personnel, and is considered a promising young man.
"But sister, you are not familiar with Ye Taoan. Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with someone you don't know? What if Ye Taoan is not a good person?" Wei Wen Chong advised his sister to think it over carefully and test Ye Taoan.
Nian Nian pursed her lips. She and Ye Taoan couldn't be considered strangers, right?
Although they haven't met in these years, they have been exchanging letters.
Ye Taoan would introduce her to what happened in Kyoto City, and she would also tell Ye Taoan the story of Youzhou City.
They are in love and appreciate each other.
"You are still young! You don't understand what love between a man and a concubine is! Anyway, I know what I am doing, you don't need to worry." Nian Nian patted Wei Wencong's shoulder and smiled.
She wanted to get to Kyoto as soon as possible to see if Ye Taoan had grown ugly.
If Ye Taoan grew up to be disabled, then she...
No! Ye Taoan must still be the same as before, elegant and graceful!
Half a month later, Nian Nian and Wei Wen Chong arrived in Kyoto.
Ye Taoan received the news early and had been waiting for them at the city gate.
Although Nian Nian hadn't seen Ye Taoan for eight years, she still recognized Ye Taoan at first sight.
She smiled and jumped off the carriage, walking towards Ye Taoan, "Young Master Ye! Long time no see, how are you?"
Ye Taoan also smiled back at her, "I greet the princess! I am all well, and thank you for your hard work during the journey."
He waited and waited for seven or eight years, and finally got her back.
All of his friends have started families and have children, but he... is still alone.
If Nian Nian doesn't come to marry him, he will become a laughing stock in Kyoto.
He is already twenty years old this year. In Kyoto, young men of his age all have many wives and concubines, but there is one exception.
That person is a weirdo, so he naturally cannot be compared with weirdos.
"Young Master Ye stopped me at the city gate. Is there something wrong?" Nian Nian asked knowingly.
She knew that Ye Taoan was here to pick her up, but... she didn't want Ye Taoan to think that they were very familiar with each other.
Apart from their verbal engagement, they were not particularly familiar with each other.
"Of course I am here to greet the princess and give her a welcome." Ye Taoan confessed.
The purpose of his coming here was, of course, to pick her up, otherwise why would he be waiting here?
In fact, he had sent someone to inquire about their whereabouts a few days ago, so that he could pick up Nian Nian as soon as possible.
As expected, his hard work paid off, and he was the first person to pick them up.
Nian Nian was satisfied. "Thank you very much, Master Ye! We need to go back to the Lin Mansion first. Master Ye, please do as you please."
After she finished speaking, she turned and returned to the carriage.
Ye Taoan made way and watched the carriage go away before he got on his own carriage.
When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Jiang Qiuning was already waiting for them inside. Jiang Qiuning was pregnant with her third child and was in a heavy body, so she could only wait inside and was unable to go out to pick them up.
But she asked her two sons to wait for their aunt at the door.
Jiang Qiuning and Lin Yuehong's eldest son is seven years old this year, and his second son is four years old.
The two little guys occasionally sat on the doorstep, and occasionally ran out to take a look. When they saw a carriage passing by, they got up and went out to take a look, but the carriage just passed by and did not stop.
After repeating this seven or eight times, a carriage finally stopped.
The two little guys immediately became alert and stared at the carriage without blinking.
Nian Nian got out of the carriage, followed by Wei Wen Chong.
Dalang took Erlang's hand and ran to Nian Nian.
"Are you Aunt Nian Nian?" Dalang asked.
Nian Nian glanced down at the two of them, then reached out and touched their heads. "Are you Da Lang and Er Lang?"
The two nodded, "Mom asked us to come out to pick up our aunt and uncle!"
"Okay! Let's go in and see your mother." Nian Nian held one of their hands and walked towards the Lin Mansion.
Today, Lin Yuehong has become the Minister of War, in charge of half a tiger talisman of the Central Camp. The city defense camp in Kyoto is also in charge of Lin Yuehong. However, he is one of the four most talented people in Kyoto and the right-hand man of His Majesty.
Among them, those who are as famous as Lin Yuehong include Prime Minister Mu Shijin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Liu Jinan and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Wei Chen.
Wei Chen is the youngest among them, only nineteen years old this year, but he is also the most ruthless and cruel one among them. Everyone in Kyoto is afraid of him.
Among these four people, three are Nian Nian’s cousins, and she is most proud of them.
Seeing Jiang Qiuning, Nian Nian bowed and said, "Hello, sister-in-law! How are you doing recently?"
"Niannian and Chong'er are here? Come in and sit down. Everything is fine with your sister-in-law. You must have had a hard journey." Jiang Qiuning reached out to hold Niannian's hand, and Niannian hurriedly supported her.
"Sister-in-law, you are not feeling well now, so please don't work too hard. We are all adults and can take care of ourselves. You don't need to worry about us." Nian Nian comforted her.
They are not children, they can take care of themselves, and Jiang Qiuning doesn't need to worry about them even though she is pregnant.
Jiang Qiuning pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, okay! Sister-in-law won't worry! The yard has been cleaned up for you. You can go and rest first. When your husband comes back, I will welcome you back."
Jiang Qiuning asked the servants to take Nian Nian and Wei Wen Chong to rest, and she did not go with them.
