Chapter 73 What are we waiting for? Let's go propose marriage!



"No."

Jin Beichen shook his head and said frankly, "The Emperor sent someone to deliver an imperial edict to me, instructing me to lead 50,000 soldiers to Fengling Yucheng after the peace negotiations, and to help him guard Fengling in the future."

What? He's coming to guard Fengling?

Where is Fengling Jade City?

Song Xia asked whatever came to mind.

Jin Beichen didn't think much of it, assuming that Song Xia was just curious. He truthfully replied, "Yucheng is located in the center of Fengling, and it is a necessary passage for people traveling to and from the south and north, and to other countries."

middle?

It takes about half a month to get from their town to Fengling Imperial City. If it's in the middle, does that mean it takes half that time?

So it's a journey that takes several days?

Jin Beichen noticed that Song Xia was lost in thought and asked, "Miss, is your place like our mortal world, with many different places?"

"Um!"

Song Xia immediately launched into a list: "Besides our celestial realm convenience store, there's also the South Heavenly Gate, the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Pool, and many other places, though I haven't been to many of them."

I learned that there were many places she had never been to.

Jin Beichen smiled and said, "You're so smart, you'll definitely get promoted in the future..."

He also thought that Song Xia was now a low-level immortal.

otherwise.

Why is she here guarding the convenience store?

It's been a while since we last met.

Jin Beichen felt that Song Xia seemed to have grown taller and looked even better than before.

Without thinking, he blurted out, "Girl, do you immortals also grow up and get old?"

"yes!"

After answering, Song Xia added, "The only difference is that I age more slowly..."

I see.

Thinking that Jin Beicheng rarely comes here.

Song Xia told him to wait, and she packed some of the braised dishes she had made that day for him: "Here, take them home and eat them."

"Thanks."

Jin Beichen carried it in his arms as he left.

Song Laosi and his friends finally got to eat the braised food made by Song Xia that evening, and they all praised it highly.

The meal is finished.

Remembering what his teacher had said after school today, Song Dong said to Song Xia, "Second Sister, our teacher said he's taking us on a picnic and that we should bring our own food. Can I learn to make braised dishes from you so I can make some to take with me?"

He is willing to learn.

Song Xia naturally wouldn't refuse.

"sure!"

"Second sister, you are so kind."

Song Dong was overjoyed.

He is now being sent to school by Fangzheng.

The next day.

Fang Zheng saw him off as usual before going to buy things.

When he bought pork.

Yun Shanfeng spotted him and jogged over to him: "Brother Fang, I'm so glad to finally meet you."

"Did you need something from me?"

Fang Zheng asked.

Yun Shanfeng took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and handed them to Fang Zheng: "This is the money I'm lending you."

They had no money before, so where did this money come from?

Fang Zheng remembered what Yun Liuer had said earlier, clenched his fist and asked, "Don't you not have much money? Did you borrow this money?"

Yunshan Peak shook his head.

Just as Fang Zheng was about to ask him another question.

Yun Shanfeng said, "That's how it is. After my father heard about it, he insisted that we not owe you any money, so we listened to him and sold one mu of each of our family's fields."

Their land is quite good; two mu can sell for five taels of silver.

"I didn't bring an IOU, wait here for me for a while."

Fang Zheng left the IOU at Song Xia's family's snack shop and brought it over shortly after taking an oxcart.

Give the IOU to Yunshanfeng.

Fang Zheng casually asked, "Shanfeng, how is your mother now?"

Upon hearing this...

Yun Shanfeng smiled and said, "After that doctor's treatment, my mother's condition has improved a lot. However, she still needs to take medicine. As long as she keeps taking medicine and doesn't get cold, her illness will be fine."

"That's good."

After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he wanted to ask Yun Liuer a question, but he opened his mouth and then hesitated, so he had to keep quiet.

Yun Shanfeng's mind raced, and he tentatively said, "I won't go into too much detail. My mother says my younger sister is getting on in years and it's time for her to get married, so she asked Matchmaker Yang to find her a husband. She's found one, but my mother isn't comfortable with him and wants me to go see him to make sure he's alright before we meet..."

So fast!

Fang Zheng spoke up, "Your sister doesn't look very old, she looks about the same age as my niece..."

"My sister is sixteen years old. She turned sixteen last month."

The view of Yunshan Peak is now clear.

Sixteen?

He thought she hadn't reached marriageable age yet.

Because of Yun Shanfeng's words, Fang Zheng didn't say much on the way back to the village, and he was also somewhat absent-minded when he got back to the workshop.

When Song Xia came on patrol, she noticed him and called him outside to talk: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? You look like you've lost your soul?"

Fang Zheng told her about Yun Liuer's desire to find a husband.

Song Xia patted Fang Zheng's arm and said, "Uncle, what are you waiting for? Go and propose marriage!"

"ah?"

Fang Zheng thought he had misheard.

Song Xiawei twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Uncle, guess why Yun Liuer's older brother said those things to you?"

It was just something I said offhand.

Fang Zheng didn't understand what he meant at all.

Song Xia was speechless. She directly reminded him: "If Yun Shanfeng really didn't have any other intentions, why would he tell you about this? He could have simply not told you."

Fang Zheng stammered, "You mean, Yun Shanfeng, he figured out that I like his sister?"

"Well, this."

Song Xia blinked and said, "It's also possible that Yun Liu'er has taken a liking to you, but she's hesitant to say it directly, so she had her older brother test your feelings."

"I…"

Fang Zheng was incredibly excited, but he was also afraid of being rejected when he proposed marriage.

"Xia'er, would you and your mother come with me to propose marriage?"

"OK!"

Song Xia readily agreed.

They invited a matchmaker from the village to go with them.

On the way there.

Fang Zheng was extremely nervous, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet.

Song Xia found it quite amusing.

Fang Xiu comforted him for a while, and Fang Zheng felt better.

Before getting off the oxcart.

Fang Zheng checked all the things he had brought. After checking, he jumped off the oxcart and began to tidy his clothes.

Done.

Fang Zheng asked, "Sister, Xia'er, do I look good like this?"

Now.

Not only Song Xia smiled.

Fang Xiu laughed too: "You little rascal, are you ever going to stop? You asked me before you left, 'Looks good, looks good, you look better today than the other day.'"

Song Xia said from the side, "Uncle, you're so good-looking, you'd look good even if you wore a cloth bag, let alone clothes like this."

"You little rascal!"

Fang Zheng was both amused and exasperated.

As we approached the gate of the Yun family's house.

Fang Zheng stopped Song Xia and the others, saying, "I... I want to ask Yun Liuer first."

Knowing what he was thinking, Song Xia called the matchmaker and her mother to sit aside and wait.

"Bang bang bang..."

Fang Zheng knocked on the Yun family's door.

What a coincidence!

It was Yun Liuer who opened the door for him.

When she saw him, her face immediately turned red: "Brother Fang, what brings you here? Please, please come in and sit down."

"I...I have something to ask you."
