The wedding date of Cheng An and Qi Tianyang was set for March 18th, when Cheng He took leave and returned to Beijing from Xuanzhou.
It was only his first year in office, and he had a lot of complicated official duties and matters to deal with, so he spent the New Year in Linjiang County.
I left home in September, and suddenly half a year has passed.
When everyone saw him again, they surrounded him and kept looking at him.
Cheng He sighed helplessly, "Why are you all looking at me?"
He seemed to have grown taller, his skin color had become darker, he had become thinner, and he looked more energetic. Unlike his previous elegance, he now looked more calm and cheerful.
"There's no way. The work is too complicated. I'm either running around outside or in the government office all day. It's understandable that I'm thinner and darker." He smiled brightly.
Cheng He frowned and gave Qi Tianyang some stern advice about the fact that Qi Tianyang had kidnapped his sister while he was away from the capital.
He had already known about the relationship between the two when they exchanged letters home years ago. As their brother, he had no choice but to feel reluctant and helpless.
"My sister has grown up, and it's time for her to get married." He raised the corners of his lips and handed her the dowry he had saved for her, with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.
Cheng An's nose felt sore and his eyes turned red. He grabbed his sleeve and showed his dependence as he did in childhood, "Brother..."
"Oh." Cheng He quickly turned his head and blinked to stop the tears from falling.
Seeing his sister, who had followed him since childhood, wearing her wedding dress and getting on the wedding sedan, the only worry in his heart was finally put to rest. He was always worried about this simple-minded sister. Qi Tianyang was a person he could entrust his life to, and he could see that his true feelings for his sister were not fake.
He smiled with relief and joy, drank the wedding wine, and returned home with a drunken red face. Zhu Yun then caught him and told him that since his sister was already married, he, as her brother, had to hurry up and arrange her own marriage.
Zhu Yun also cried for a while, and her eyes were swollen at this time. She wanted to just mention it, after all, her son didn't want to hear her say these things, but she saw that Cheng He's face turned redder, his eyes avoided, and he stammered and couldn't speak.
She became alert and caught Cheng Qishan and "interrogated" him overnight, and finally found out the secret.
Cheng He was already drowsy after drinking, and after Zhu Yun asked him in a roundabout way, he soon told everything.
"...That's what Mother said earlier."
Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment, searching his head for the answer. Then, a light bulb went off in his head, and he asked, "Ji Nanyi?"
As soon as this name came out, Cheng He lowered his head even lower and uttered a muffled "hmm".
Ji Qing was the governor of Xuanzhou, which was in charge of Linjiang County. They had to deal with each other, and he became familiar with Ji Nanyiyi. After a few interactions, the two of them had been understanding each other for the past six months.
This made Zhu Yun extremely happy, and he felt relieved. Ji Qing and Cheng Qishan had served together as officials in Xuanzhou for three years. Although they had not seen each other much in recent years, they had kept in touch through letters and could be considered close friends.
If the two families could form an in-law relationship, everyone would be happy.
Let’s not talk about Cheng He’s matter for now. On the other side, Jiang Fei and Lin Cixiao had been shyly pulling each other for almost a year before they finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
Ji Nanyiyi and Cheng He’s wedding was scheduled for the middle of the year, and Jiang Fei and her husband’s wedding was scheduled for the end of the year.
Even Jiang Ling's cousin Ye Xuan finally got engaged to a local lady from Pingzhou after Jiang Lianqiao's repeated persuasion, and the engagement was also scheduled for this year.
In Jiang Ling's words, "There have been so many happy events this year, I can't even finish attending all the wedding banquets."
Jiang Ling's body has fully recovered, and Zhou Xian is also five months old. Wanran looked at her gentle look as she held the child, and couldn't help but smile.
"It's summer now, and I want to go to the north to have a look," he said.
Jiang Ling was startled and looked at him, "When are you leaving?"
Wanran said softly, like the gentle breeze blowing past, "Tomorrow."
"It's like this again." Jiang Ling sighed, "You always catch people off guard like this."
He was probably afraid that they would prepare too many things for him.
Wanran chuckled, "I'm all alone and can set off at any time."
Zhou Xian's little hands were on Jiang Ling's shoulders, staring at the flowers and plants in the yard. He was cute and smart. He glanced at her twice and then turned his gaze to Jiang Ling.
She is still the same as before, bright as the sun and gentle as the wind. Just looking at you or smiling at you can easily melt your ice.
She lowered her eyes and smiled softly, her mood as peaceful as a shallow pond.
"Where are you going? How long will you be gone?"
She asked as she did last time.
“The road ahead is unknown, so just go with the flow.”
He smiled and answered as he did last time.
Jiang Ling also laughed, "How long will it take to come back this time?"
Wanran shook his head, "I don't know."
Maybe one year, maybe two years.
He turned to look at Jiang Ling, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, his heart moved slightly, and he promised: "But I will come back."
Now that she is here, he will come back to see her.
Jiang Ling nodded, tilted her head and smiled, "Then I'll take you there."
"Okay," he replied.
Still at that small pavilion, Jiang Ling looked at the carriage going away and sighed, "He really loves to go out."
He Zui nodded, "You can run, just don't ruin your body."
He wrote him several prescriptions that he could boil and drink for headaches and fevers, and also wrote some prescriptions for dispelling colds, which he always used.
Zhou Jing'an also agreed. He didn't have time to see him off last time, so today's event was considered a success.
Jiang Ling sighed and then smiled, raising her hand to shield her eyes and looking, "Summer is coming, he will avoid the heat and go directly to the north. It seems that this summer will be much better for him."
She winked and playfully said to the two of them, "I changed it into banknotes this time and stuffed them into the crack of his carriage. He definitely can't send it back to me."
