Chapter 345: Marriage Arrangement

Cheng Yunshuo slept until noon.

It was only when the breeze came and urged him to wake up that he slowly woke up.

"What time is it?" Cheng Yunshuo asked.

"It's almost noon."

"Why so late!" Hearing that it was almost noon, Cheng Yunshuo rubbed his drunken head, "I don't even have time to report for duty."

Qingfeng hurriedly said, "My Lord, the young lady has asked for leave for you."

Cheng Yunshuo couldn't wake up early in the morning, so Qingfeng went back to the Marquis' Mansion. After hearing this, the extremely considerate Lu Lingjun immediately asked for a day off for him.

Upon hearing that Lu Lingyun had made arrangements for him, Cheng Yunshuo immediately stopped being anxious.

Even the headache was relieved a bit.

But instead he sat on the bed with blank eyes.

He did take the day off, but what did he do on that day?

At this time, Du Tai walked into the room with a smile, "Yun Shuo, you're awake."

"Yeah." Cheng Yunshuo glanced at him and said, "Did I drink a lot of wine yesterday?"

"You didn't just drink a lot of wine, you even acted drunk and crazy in the street!"

"What?" Cheng Yunshuo's eyes widened.

"You hugged someone last night, and kept saying that person was round, and even wanted to touch their head!"

When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, his heart beat faster instantly, and he felt guilty and regretful. "Hey, this, Qingfeng, what's going on!"

"My Lord, I don't know. I was delivering a letter to the young lady at that time. Could it be that you flirted with some girl?" Qingfeng was also shocked.

The eldest son of their family had a reputation for being a playboy, and although he hadn't gotten into any trouble in recent years, he had seen all of his romantic affairs in his earlier years.

Sometimes she is a prostitute from a brothel, sometimes she is a tofu seller, there is also the heroic Du Ruo who is clinging to him, and the mistress who still has charm.

It is very possible that Cheng Yunshuo will suddenly add a new concubine to the mansion!

"My Lord, if you like another girl, you should tell the Young Madam as soon as possible and ask her to marry you! Don't create any extramarital affairs or mistresses, which will cause a stir in the capital." Qingfeng said with a bitter face.

When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, his face turned purple with anger, but he did not dare to say anything for a moment, for he was afraid that he had really done something wrong yesterday after getting drunk.

If that's the case...

Oh! He is so upset!

"No, no, I'll go talk to the young lady earlier and ask her to make arrangements early."

Du Tai, who was standing at the door, stopped laughing after hearing this. "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's not a young lady, it's an old monk!"

"Ah! Even my prince has taken a liking to the old monk!"

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

Du Tai: "......"

Cheng Yunshuo came to his senses and kicked Qingfeng out, "Get out!"

After Qingfeng staggered out, he did not forget to pull Du Tai aside to ask him again in detail who he had met yesterday and what had happened.

They were relieved to learn that they had just bumped into an old monk when they were leaving the house and nothing happened.

At this time, the Marquis's Mansion.

Tong Nanxia is here today.

He also told Lu Lingyun that Tong Nanying's marriage had been decided.

After August, she came here from Jiangnan to get married.

The Tong family said that all the betrothal gifts did not need to be sent to Jiangnan, but only needed to be sent to Mr. Tong Erye as a formality, and then all the things would be given to Tong Nanyi to take to her own home.

In addition, the Jiangnan Tong family also prepared a very generous dowry, which would accompany Tong Nanying to the capital when the time came.

When Lu Lingyun received the news that the marriage had been finalized, she smiled from ear to ear.

"Cousin, although cousin Lu is a young talent, the Lu family is a bit small. When Nan Yi comes, he will definitely bring a lot of maids and servants, and the Lu family will definitely not be able to accommodate them. What should we do then?" Tong Nanxia asked.

Not long after the palace examination ended, Lu Kuan was appointed as the Zhongshu Shujitu by the imperial court.

Shuji Tu was a short-term position in the Hanlin Academy, a transitional official position given to newly promoted officials. After staying in office for a period of time, Shuji Tu would be appointed to a new place.

The vast majority were sent out to serve as county magistrates or prefects, while some stayed in Beijing to fill other vacant positions in the six ministries.

There was also a very small number of people who were called Shujitu in the Zhongshu area. They were often central reserve forces, retained in core positions, and later worked for the emperor.

Lu Kuan was the Zhongshu Shujitu, and this was a path arranged for him personally by his teacher, Taishi Zhao. For this reason, Lu Kuan's father was kicked out of the Hanlin Academy and arranged to work as a sixth-rank idle official in the Ministry of Revenue.

Because the Hanlin Academy has rules that father and son or brothers are not allowed to serve at the same time.

Lu Kuan's rapid rise to fame stunned everyone, and even after his father Lu was kicked out, he seemed proud of it.

The Lu family now regards Lu Kuan as the real heir, but the Lu family is a small family after all, and Lu Kuan himself has just started out, so he doesn't have enough wealth to buy real estate.

Tong Nanxia felt sorry for Tong Nanying and was afraid that she would be wronged after marrying her.

"I was also thinking about what you said. I have sent people to check out a few houses." Lu Lingyun said.

"oh?"

"It just so happens that there is a house for sale today. Why don't we go take a look together." Lu Lingyun stood up and said, looking at the pile of house information in front of him.

"good!"

The Marquis' Mansion prepared a carriage, and Lu Lingjun and Tong Nanxia went out together.

There are many rich people's houses in the east of the city, and the Marquis's Mansion is located in the east of the city. The carriage stopped not long after it started driving.

"Young Madam, we're here." Shuanghong said.

"Um."

Lu Lingjun and Tong Nanxia came down together. Someone was already waiting at the door of the house.

"Good luck, ladies," a maid from a dental shop came up to greet them with a big smile, "You must have been tired on the way here. Someone has prepared some tea in the house. Ladies, please take a rest and have some tea first."

Lu Lingyun just nodded at her. Shuanghong, the maid beside her, said, "No need. We still have to visit several families today. Please introduce them to us."

Hearing this, the broker's eyes lit up and she hurriedly invited Lu Lingyun and Tong Nanxia in.

It was obvious at first glance that these two ladies were of extraordinary backgrounds. One was calm and dignified, and the other was extremely beautiful. It was obvious at first glance that they were wives of wealthy and powerful families. Their visit to look at houses was definitely not for ordinary investment or transactions.

If they only wanted to buy a property, they would just send their servants to go and see the houses in person. There were a few more houses to come, and they were definitely for their nephews and nieces to look at. In all likelihood, they were choosing the houses for their wedding!

"Our house is great! It's a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. Look at our entrance screen wall. It's carved with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and various fruits and animals! It means that the couples who live in this house will have many children and live a long life!"

"We have a garden at the back. If you have many children, they can play freely in the garden!"

Lu Lingyun couldn't help but laugh when listening to the matchmaker's bragging. This matchmaker was really shrewd. She could tell why they bought the house.

After hearing all this, Tong Nanxia, ​​who was standing by, nodded repeatedly, looking extremely satisfied.
