Chapter 545 Young Master of the Chang Family
"Cousin, my eldest cousin is so good."
Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun surrounded the baby and poked his little hands.
"Yes, he is so cute. Not only did he not cry, but he also smiled so cutely. Look at his little eyes. He looks just like his aunt."
Jiang Shiyun took another closer look and said, "Yes, my eldest cousin and my eldest cousin both have eyes like my aunt. They will definitely be handsome young men when they grow up. And their pink little mouths are also beautiful..."
"Cousin, cousin."
Cheng Qingmeng walked in and held the baby in her arms.
"Cousin, you came at the right time. We were just discussing your marriage."
Cheng Qingmeng gently patted the younger brother in his arms and said, "I plan to get married at 18, so I'm not considering getting married so early."
"Meng'er." Feng Yingying came out from the inner room upon hearing the voice. "It's precisely because you're getting married at eighteen that we're talking about getting married now."
Cheng Qingmeng recalled that in her previous life, she had fallen out with every woman she fell in love with. Although the second wife had been exiled, they would not frame her and ruin her reputation.
But when she thought about the young men she had met in her past life, she felt a little reluctant. The only thing she could do was...
But when she thought about her scumbag father having a mistress and harming her mother, she didn't want to get married.
"Aunt, I don't want to get married so early. It's still not too late to get married at 18."
"Wa wa..." The baby in her arms suddenly cried rhythmically.
Cheng Qingmeng hurriedly carried the child into the inner room, "Mother, my brother is hungry."
Cheng Qingmeng handed his younger brother to Jiang Yunshu and lowered the bed curtain. When he turned around, he met Jiang Yunwan's eyes full of doting.
"Aunt, you can't sit in a carriage for so long with your belly so big. It will be very tiring."
Jiang Yunwan was relieved. She took her delicate hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Meng'er. Your aunt is not tired. Your aunt and I came here specifically to discuss your marriage. At your uncle's birthday party that day, your aunt, your grandmother, and I took a look at you and chose the eldest son of the second wife of the Wenxin Marquis family, the eldest grandson of the Minister of Rites, and the eldest son of the Chang Yushi family."
Feng Yingying continued, "There's also Princess Yuyao's eldest son. We've been secretly investigating these four young men and haven't found any problems. You've met all of them, and they're all fine young men. By the time you turn eighteen, they'll likely all be married. Now, while they haven't gotten married yet, we should hurry and arrange a marriage. Eighteen is the perfect time to get married. Tell us now who you like, and we'll focus on secretly investigating their personal character. If that doesn't work, we'll try another one. We'll definitely find you a husband who will treat you wholeheartedly."
"Sister." Wen Shudexin rushed over in a hurry. "The young men that my cousin introduced to me that day are very good. They have good family backgrounds and similar looks. They are now serving in the court and have good futures. Choose one you like first, and then we can dig deeper into his private life. Just like my aunt said, if he doesn't work out, we can change him."
Jiang Yunshu, who was breastfeeding, suddenly realized that Shuger had arranged for people to do things that day for Menger's marriage.
Jiang Yunshu felt distressed. How could Shu Ge'er be so considerate and sensible?
"Ah...this..." Cheng Qingmeng was deeply touched. Her family cared about her so much.
She still didn't know that they were secretly investigating the personal qualities of these young masters.
"...It's still too early. Let's wait until spring comes and it gets warmer."
Feng Yingying said anxiously, "It's getting late. When the weather warms up, everyone's already engaged. Since you don't know who you like, just look at them all. Once you meet and talk, you'll know who you like. We, as the elders, have the final say on this matter, so just follow our arrangements. In short, we are all doing this for your own good."
Jiang Yunshu lifted the bed curtain and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll arrange this matter after I finish my confinement."
"By the time you're done with your confinement, your parents will have arranged a marriage. Your parents will be very anxious. I'll arrange it tomorrow."
"Aunt, don't be anxious. Let me talk to my cousin first. We'll talk when we come back," Song Yu pulled Cheng Qingmeng to the warm room next door.
"Cousin, my eldest cousin and I are already engaged, so you can't be left behind. You've dreamed about the concubine, so you must have dreamed about these gentlemen as well. Even if you didn't dream about them, you must have heard of them in your dreams. So who do you choose?"
Cheng Qingmeng knew she couldn't hide it from Song Yu, so she thought about the affairs of these young masters carefully. "The eldest son of the second branch of the Wenxin Marquis family, Xue Li, has someone he likes. News of his engagement will be announced in the next two days. The eldest grandson of the Minister of Rites is indeed a good person. He has been delaying the marriage because he likes the daughter of a merchant in Lin County. He will threaten his mother with death in two years before she agrees to the marriage. Princess Yuyao's eldest son already has a concubine. As for Chang Huaiqian, the eldest son of the Chang Censor family..."
When Cheng Qingmeng mentioned this person, a hint of heartache and regret flashed in his eyes.
Song Yu: "What's wrong with Master Chang? Do you like him?"
Cheng Qingmeng nodded slightly. "I dreamed that I would meet him two years later. But within a month, he was ordered to leave the capital and was assassinated. He was shot by a poisoned arrow and died on the road. When this news came back to the capital, my reputation as a husband-killer was confirmed."
Song Yu soothed him, "You can dream about the future, so you can naturally avoid risks. You liked him when you saw him in your dream. He must be good in every way. So, why not meet him?"
Cheng Qingmeng recalled Mr. Chang's face in his mind and smiled, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Song Yu turned around and quickly walked out of the warm room.
"Hey, cousin, don't say anything yet."
Cheng Qingmeng said it was too late. Song Yu had already entered the main house. "My cousin likes the eldest son of the Chang Yushi family."
"Chang Huaiqian?" Feng Yingying smiled. "Meng'er has good taste. The Chang family's young master is not only handsome, but also favored by the emperor. His future career is bound to be very bright. Shushu, will you introduce the Chang family's young master to Meng'er?"
Jiang Yunshu glanced at Cheng Qingmeng who walked in slowly, feeling confused.
You fall in love with someone just after meeting them once at a party?
"Then I will go to see the young master of the Chang family. I will trouble you, sister-in-law."
"How can you say that? We are all family. Meng'er's affairs are my affairs. Let's go back home and take care of this matter now. I'll let you know once we have confirmed the time and place."
Cheng Qingmeng: "Don't be so anxious, you can wait and see. There's no need to rush into getting engaged. Wait until my mother finishes her confinement."
Feng Yingying saw that Cheng Qingmeng was determined and her sister-in-law was almost done with her confinement.
"Okay, then the date for the meeting will be set in half a month."
After Wen Shu sent the people away, he arranged for people to focus on secretly investigating Chang Huaiqian.
Jiang Yunshu soon learned about this from Meidai. "Meidai, the people Shu'er arranges can only inquire in the places where Mr. Chang usually goes. Try to arrange for people to go into the Chang family's backyard to find out the situation of the Chang family's second branch. Don't let Mr. Chang be a good person but his mother is difficult to get along with. Also, see if there are any cousins from the Chang family staying in the mansion."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Oh, by the way, focus on checking the daily expenses of the Chang family's residence and the management of the properties under the Chang family's name. Don't be like me, marrying into the Cheng family and having to take over a mess and subsidize your dowry. You are responsible for this matter personally."
"Don't worry, Madam. We will definitely investigate it thoroughly."
