Su Heng smiled slightly. "I've met you."
Why did the emperor ask him if he had seen the edict?
Just as Su Heng was wondering, the emperor said, "You've been gone for half a month, and there have been many interesting rumors and stories circulating in the capital. You can listen to them when you have nothing to do."
After saying that, he told Su Heng to go back.
Su Heng is usually a shrewd strategist and a cunning old fox, but this time he was completely baffled.
On his way back, he ran into several colleagues, all of whom had mysterious smiles on their faces. One of them even came over to congratulate him, which made him even more confused.
"Gentlemen, what interesting rumors or stories have been circulating in the capital lately?"
Su Heng asked questions when he didn't understand, and this question opened up a floodgate of conversation among his colleagues. The ones who talked the most were the Minister of Works, Old Man Chen, and the Minister of Revenue, his father-in-law, the Censor-in-Chief, Old Man Zhou.
The stars have shifted!
Various forms of messages carried by fish!
After being bombarded with rumors, Su Heng finally understood that these rumors were all related to the descendants of Princess Jingmin. So, could it be that their Su family were descendants of Princess Jingmin?
Having roughly understood what the emperor wanted to say, Su Heng put it out of his mind. He wasn't interested in having offspring; all he wanted now was to get married to Chuanwen as soon as possible. Otherwise, given Chuanwen's personality, he was genuinely afraid that things might change if things dragged on.
So he went home, called his father and elder brother, carefully prepared some gifts, and came to the Changxing Marquis's residence.
"Getting married early?"
In the living room of the Marquis of Changxing's residence, the Marquis of Changxing and Chuanhai were a little confused. Why was there yet another person who wanted to bring forward the engagement?
However, the two of them agreed immediately without much hesitation.
When Xu Wuyou arrived, they had to consider whether Xu Wuyou had any problems, and whether Chuanyu would be bullied after marrying into their family. But when Chuanwen arrived, these worries seemed to disappear.
Chuan Hai has already had a long talk with Su Heng, and he should be fine. Besides, given Chuan Wen's personality, it would be good enough if she didn't bully others.
As for asking Chuanwen's opinion, well... that girl would love to! She'd probably be willing to carry her quilt and run to the Su family tonight if they were to get married!
The date was set for the eighth day of next month. When Chuanwen heard this, he counted on his fingers, and then felt a little regretful: "Only twenty days left!"
Marquis Changxing calmly took a sip of tea, a smile playing on his lips. There were only twenty days left before he could send this little devil away. As long as he could safely get through these twenty days, he wouldn't need to consult feng shui to find himself a good burial site. Haha!
Although they were eager to send Chuanwen away, the old lady of Changxing Marquis and Xu Yan still shed tears when they were embroidering wedding clothes and bedding for Chuanwen.
"She's only been home for a few years, and she's already getting married again."
The old lady wiped away her tears, her heart filled with reluctance.
Xu Yan sighed, "My daughter, whom I raised with such difficulty, is now being given away to someone else!"
Chuanwen, who was eating melon seeds nearby, wrote: ......
The Su family lives right next door, is it really necessary for us to make this all so tragic?
Chuanwen wanted to speak up and remind the two, but after thinking about it, he remained silent.
After marrying Er Gou, I went to Xiao Liang Kingdom with him. I heard the melons there are very sweet!
The old lady of Changxing Marquis and Xu Yan immediately sounded the alarm. Although it is said that a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, they were really worried about their Wen girl going to such a far place!
But it doesn't seem like a good idea for the young couple to live apart.
The two looked worried, suddenly realizing that their marriage to Su Heng was ill-advised. Although Su Heng was handsome, capable, and had a promising future, he would have to go to such a far-off place.
In the following days, Xu Yan was fine, but the old lady was so worried that she ate fewer bowls of rice.
Fortunately, the emperor had the foresight to prevent Chuanwen from running off with Su Heng after the two got married. He issued an imperial decree in advance, which basically meant that Chuanwen, the little princess's companion, should stay in the palace to hold her post. However, the emperor was kind and, considering that Chuanwen was preparing for her marriage, he could give her some time to come to the palace after the wedding.
Chuanwen held the imperial edict, so angry he wanted to smash it.
If I were to smear this imperial edict on the emperor's face, would I be spared having my property confiscated?
Chuanwen was puzzled but wanted to take action. Marquis Changxing and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They quickly took the imperial edict from her hands and kept a close watch on Chuanwen for the next few days, for fear that if they didn't keep an eye on her, she would run into the palace and bring them a series of punishments, such as confiscating their property and exterminating their entire family!
However, the cooks at the Marquis of Changxing's residence have been a bit puzzled these past few days, as they feel that the masters' appetites have increased significantly.
It certainly increased significantly; almost everyone at the table ate several extra bowls of rice.
Chuanwen turned his grief and anger into appetite. Unable to go to Xiaoliang Kingdom with Ergou for a happy life together, he ate several extra bowls of rice in a fit of rage.
The old lady of Changxing Marquis and Xu Yan were relieved and ate several bowls of rice with joy.
Marquis Changxing and his two sons were overjoyed that Chuanwen was finally going to be married off, and they ate several extra bowls of rice. Their joy wasn't because they were reluctant to part with Chuanwen; in their minds, there was no such thing as reluctance or not. After all, the Su family was right next door, and even if she married into the family, they would see each other all the time, just like in their own home. On the contrary, if Chuanwen caused any more trouble, well, the Su family would have to foot the bill.
Chuanyu was happy for her younger sister Wen, who was finally getting her wish and marrying the man she loved! So she ate two extra bowls of rice. Hmm... it's possible that she ate those extra bowls of rice because she needed extra nutrition due to her mental work.
Wang was in a good mood. Her daughter was finally getting married, and the man she was marrying was an official in a remote place. He couldn't compare to their general son-in-law. So, she ate an extra bowl of rice.
Chuanwu sighed, feeling worried. He muttered to himself, "My sister is getting married. My sister is getting married. My sister is getting married. Alas, the cabbage I've been protecting is going to end up in someone else's pot." Before he knew it, he had eaten two extra bowls of food.
Chuanze also harbored his own little thoughts, thinking that Wanrong needed to eat more to stay healthy, so he needed to eat more, and thus another person was added to the dinner table.
Chuanyi glanced at the family, who all seemed to have a good appetite, and thought, "Sigh! Shall I take one of their dishes?"
So when the cook lifted the lid of the rice container in the kitchen and saw that the rice was almost gone, he fell into deep thought.
