Chapter 108 The Marriage is Settled
Xu Changping's remarks at Jingnan Academy quickly spread throughout the capital.
Some people were so angry that they smashed their teacups, some were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and more were waiting to see the show.
When the Shunan Marquisate had already rejected the marriage proposal, Xu Changping could still say these words in public. Do you think he was asking for marriage in a humble and sincere way? Or was he taking the opportunity to force the Shunan Marquisate?
Will the Shun'an Marquis Mansion resolutely refuse the marriage and completely offend the Anguo Duke Mansion? Or will they go back on their words, change their decision, and marry their daughter off?
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it's a stupid thing that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts yourself by eight hundred, and it's of no benefit to both sides.
But one thing is certain, that is, if Xu Changping and Yun Shu's marriage fails, then Xu Changping and Yun Shu will not have a good marriage in the future. It may even end their marriage path in this life.
Honestly speaking, Xu Changping's move was very decisive, and he never thought of leaving any way out for either side.
Rong Enqing naturally understood the reason, so he couldn't help feeling upset after hearing Nanshan's words.
Yun Shu was also a little upset. She always felt that a man as capable as Xu Changping should be with a woman as capable as Anyang County Master, as they would only complement each other.
But Xu Changping actually said he wanted to marry her!? She is not good enough at all and is not worthy of Xu Changping at all!
On the contrary, Princess Anyang was very happy, "I think Xu Changping is pretty good. Knowing that he had been rejected, he still dared to confess his love to Yunshu in public, which shows that he really wanted to marry Yunshu.
"I think this marriage is a good one. What do you think, Madam?"
Princess Anyang seemed to have thought of something and added, "If Xu Changping dares to treat Yun Shu badly in the future, I will go to her house to help Yun Shu. Madam, what do you think?"
"Let me think about this again."
Rong Enqing still didn't express his opinion, but he had already compromised in his heart. Just as the county lady said, Xu Changping might be sincere. These days, most marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers, and it is the most difficult to find someone who is sincere to you.
Let’s wait for Yun Ye to come back and ask about the situation in the academy before making a decision.
In the evening, Yun Ye returned home. Rong Enqing called someone over and asked about what happened in the academy during the day.
Yun Ye did not hide anything and told the whole story in detail, and finally told everything he and Xu Changping had said privately.
Finally, he concluded, "Grandma, I think Master Xu is sincere. You can accept this marriage."
After listening to Yun Ye's story, Rong Enqing finally felt relieved and said, "Okay."
This marriage has come to this point, I'm afraid it will have to be successful.
Sure enough, within two days, Madam Zheng from the Anguo Mansion came personally with Liu to the house.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries with Rong Enqing and then turned the topic to marriage.
This time Rong Enqing did not resist and agreed to the marriage.
After the marriage was settled, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Liu met Yunshu again. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not think Yunshu was shy, but felt that she was gentle and quiet, and were very satisfied with her.
A few days later, the matchmaker hired by the Anguo Mansion, Madam Yu from the Zhenguo Mansion, came with the official matchmaker.
At this point, the marriage between the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Shun'an's Mansion was finally settled.
The wedding date was set for next spring. This was Rong Enqing's request. Fifteen is too early to get married. At least next year she will be sixteen. Of course, Rong Enqing would not say that, he just said he wanted to keep Yunshu for another year. The Anguo Mansion did not object. After all, the real decision was made by Xu Changping, and if Xu Changping did not object, then the elders had reasons to object.
Everything went so smoothly that it seemed unreal!
Looking at Yun Shu, who was blushing while embroidering her wedding dress in the house, Rong Enqing sighed deeply in his heart.
Until she heard Anyang County Lady, who was sitting next to her, said to Yun Shu with a smile: "Let me tell you, I have been very lucky since I was a child. As long as the people around me can get my sincere treatment, everything will go smoothly and they will be happy. Look, we have only known each other for three months, and your marriage has been settled! You have to thank me!"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The words of Princess Anyang were like a flash of lightning, awakening Rong Enqing from his daze.
Perhaps, what Princess Anyang said was true!
In her previous life, Yun Shu was not remembered until she was eighteen years old, and then she was hastily married by Yun Hao to a fifty-year-old man as a concubine, and her ending was miserable.
In this life, she came and did not ignore Yun Shu. However, with Yun Shu's timid and cowardly character, it was impossible for her to find a good marriage. It would even be difficult for her to live a good life in the second half of her life.
However, the Princess of Anyang appeared.
While staying in Anyang County, Yun Shu's personality changed, her luck improved, and even her life became different.
Just as Rong Enqing's thoughts were racing, Princess Anyang had already stood up with a smile and was ready to say goodbye.
"Madam, I'll take my leave now. I have to go back and prepare a dowry for Yun Shu."
Rong Enqing came back to his senses and stood up to see her off. "The county lady is very thoughtful. However, it is still too early to add dowry. Yunshu will not get married until the beginning of next spring. If you want to add dowry, you have to wait until next year."
Princess Anyang smiled and nodded, "That's right. Then I'll prepare some dowry for Yunshu. I'll have someone send it over later."
Just as Rong Enqing was about to refuse, Princess Anyang grabbed Rong Enqing's hand and said sincerely, "Madam, Yunshu is the first and only friend I met in the capital. I treat her as a sister. Please don't refuse. Besides, I lack everything except money!"
Thinking of the fact that Princess Anyang was always dressed in jewels and precious stones, Rong En fell silent.
From the first time they met until now, she had never seen Princess Anyang wear the same clothes. Even the head ornaments on her body and head were rarely the same. This showed how rich she was.
Come to think of it, General Weiyuan and his wife only have this one precious daughter, so all the inheritance naturally belongs to Princess Anyang. When General Weiyuan died in battle, Emperor Taihe and the harem gave him a large sum of money as a pension. Add to that the subsidy from General Yang, who doted on Princess Anyang as his own daughter. Princess Anyang could hardly be short of money.
Little did she know that Rong Enqing's silence at this moment brought her an unexpected old friend.
After returning to the County Lady's Mansion from Shun'an Marquis' Mansion, County Lady Anyang asked someone to bring the accounts of her own warehouse. While looking through them, she ordered people to find the things she had selected.
When Nanny Zhou heard the news and rushed over, the huge courtyard was already filled with things.
Looking at the dozen or so valuable items placed in the yard, Nanny Zhou felt that her face, which she had worked so hard to maintain, suddenly had a few more wrinkles.
"County Master, what are you doing?"
The Princess of Anyang County said with a smile: "Yun Shu's marriage has been decided. I will prepare some dowry for her."
