"Why? Wouldn't that make you three or six years older than me? Wouldn't you even have children then? Oh, that's right. If you have children, I'll have nephews and grandnieces. That's great."
Cheng Minhong said this and thought it was pretty good.
"Yes! Okay, little aunt, come eat quickly! After you finish eating, we'll go back!"
Cheng Jinxing smiled and said.
…
Soon, it was the end of February.
Brothers Cheng Jinyan and Cheng Jinxing went to the provincial capital under the leadership of Cheng Wu.
The two candidates went there first, not to find a place to live, because the Tao family always welcomed the Cheng family to live there.
Cheng Wu just took them to familiarize themselves with the environment of the provincial capital first.
These two brothers have rarely been to the provincial capital since they grew up.
The other members of the Cheng family planned to go there on the second day of March. Cheng Yue and Shanshui were not going, Cheng Wen was not going, and Gu Xuelan could not leave either.
Cheng Shunjiang took Xue Hanyu, Ning Wazi and Cheng Minhong with them.
The brothers' master also went with them, a group of five people. Cheng Wu, Cheng Jinxing and Master Zhang drove the car, while Cheng Jinyan and his master rode in the car.
As a result, when he was halfway there, he met a bailiff from the government office and stopped the car.
"Captain Lu, are we going to Taoyuan County?"
After the car stopped, Cheng Wu stepped forward and asked.
"It's Captain Cheng! Are you guys heading to the capital? What a coincidence, we met halfway. If we were a little later, we could have gone the same way!"
Captain Lu laughed.
"This is……"
Cheng Wu heard that the other party was going to Taoyuan County, so he asked.
"Inside the carriage is a distinguished guest from the palace, the eunuch who is in charge of delivering imperial edicts to His Majesty! This is to convey an imperial edict to Master Ji!"
"Captain Cheng, your Lord Ji is so lucky! He's going to be a royal consort soon!"
Captain Lu leaned close to Cheng Wu's ear and whispered.
"ah?"
Cheng Wu was surprised.
Hanyu is the daughter of Prime Minister Xue, not a princess!
"Captain Lu, what's going on outside?"
A sharp voice asked in the carriage.
"Reporting to Eunuch Fu, I met Captain Cheng from Taoyuan County. We had nothing to talk about."
Captain Lu quickly replied.
"Someone around Master Ji?"
The curtain of the carriage opened, and inside sat a man with a pale face, no beard, wearing a hat and brocade clothes.
"I am Cheng Wu, the Chief Constable of Taoyuan County. I am honored to meet Eunuch Fu!"
Cheng Wu clasped his fists and said.
"Captain Cheng, please don't make things difficult for me."
Eunuch Fu was someone close to the emperor, so naturally he had heard Cheng Kang talk about Ji Feifei and the Cheng family.
Not to mention Ji Feifei, even because of his relationship with Cheng Kang, he didn't dare to accept Cheng Wu's gift.
After a few polite words, Cheng Wu followed Captain Lu and his men back to Taoyuan County, while Cheng Jinyan and Cheng Jinxing were taken to the provincial capital by their master.
"Master, I remembered I have something else to do, I want to go back!"
After walking for a while, Cheng Jinxing suddenly stopped the carriage and said.
Eunuch Fu did not avoid people when he spoke just now, and Cheng Jinxing heard it.
Eunuch Fu came to convey the imperial edict, which granted the marriage between Ji Mingxuan and the third princess. The wedding date was set for April, and someone had been sent to Taoyuan County to take over the position of county magistrate.
The Cheng family's uncle and nephew didn't know what to say.
Cheng Wu had to go back and tell his family first, and then it would be best if Xue Hanyu also knew about the situation.
A marriage granted by imperial decree is basically a decision, unlike an engagement between two families, which can be cancelled.
The emperor's words are golden and he will never go back on his word.
As for Cheng Jinxing, he simply wanted to go back and stay with that silly woman in case she was in the same state as when Old Madam Shen passed away last year.
