When he heard Feng Jin's hint, Feng Zhen's first reaction was to look at the sun outside.
Did the sun rise from the west today?
Feng Jin actually wanted to be in-laws with him?
Didn't this person hate his style the most?
Feng Zhen's heart was in turmoil, but he pretended to be flattered.
If Feng Jin hadn't mentioned it to him, he would have forgotten that Feng Yi was eleven this year and the marriage was only two years away. He was busy fighting a war and there were no women in charge in the manor. No one could help Feng Yi find a wife. Feng Jin's initiative was exactly what he wanted.
Feng Zhen had no objections and even wanted to raise both his hands and feet in approval.
Feng Jin was from the Feng family. Did he need to question the upbringing of the Feng family's women?
He had seen Changsheng before. She was cute, lively, and well-mannered. He had wanted to steal her home and raise her as his daughter several times.
No one knew a child better than a father. He knew that not every child could play well with Feng Yi, let alone raise her as a sister or daughter for a long time.
Now that they had such a good relationship, they could treat each other respectfully when they grew up. It was better than a blind marriage.
Feng Zhen's quick answer made Feng Jin hesitant.
A gentleman's word could not be taken back. He couldn't take back what he had said.
But he didn't say anything definite. He only said that the two families had a good relationship and the two children could play well. If they liked each other when they grew up, it would be good for the two families to be in-laws. Of course, if the children were not suitable when they grew up, the two families would marry on their own.
That day, Feng Zhen was all smiles, as if he had picked up a few hundred taels of gold.
When he returned to the manor, he accidentally saw Wan Xiu 'er in the courtyard with a maid cleaning the cotton. He felt even better.
The beauty was pleasing to the eye. His good mood seemed to be magnified, multiplying exponentially.
But Feng Zhen knew to avoid it. He glanced at her and then went to the main hall without disturbing her.
When Feng Yi came back from school, Feng Zhen guided him in his homework and said happily, "Father found you a marriage today."
Feng Yi stopped writing and looked at Feng Zhen expressionlessly. After a while, he asked, "Father drank again today?"
"Just two glasses." Feng Zhen blurted it out. When he came back to his senses, he said with slight embarrassment, "Do you think I'm such an unreliable person? How could you be booked out just because of a few glasses of wine? You're already eleven, it's not too early to talk about marriage. The marriage I've arranged for you today will definitely be the best. There are too few daughters of important officials under Master's banner who are of the right age … "
Frowning, Feng Yi thought for a moment and asked.
"Is it Uncle Qiguan's Jinghui?"
Considering her temperament, family background, and age, Qiguan Rang's eldest daughter, Qiguan Jinghui, was the most suitable.
"So you like the Qiguan family?"
Feng Yi said mercilessly, "Uncle Qiguan's family background isn't high, and our family can be considered to be in decline. In terms of family background, the difference isn't that great. In terms of age, Jinghui is only four years younger than me. In terms of temperament, only Uncle Qiguan could tolerate Father's wanton and unrestrained behavior. He had taken a liking to our family. If there really was a candidate, the possibility of it being Jing Hui was very high. Isn't it Jinghui? "
The Book of Rites says: Those who are ignorant of etiquette will combine the good of two surnames to serve the ancestral temple and help the future generations.
This was a very serious matter. Marriage also had to be considered in many aspects.
Although Feng Yi was only eleven years old, he didn't just think about liking or hating someone.
Feng Zhen was speechless at his son's words.
"It really isn't …"
"Then who is it?" Feng Yi asked.
"The little tail that follows behind you all day, the baby of the Feng Jin family," Feng Zhen said. Feng Zhen said, "Feng Jin and his wife are both beautiful. Changsheng, that lass, is also clever and cute. When she grows up, she will definitely be a beauty. She has a good relationship with you, after you get married … "
"Do you have a token of exchange?" Feng Yi asked.
"Not yet."
Feng Yi continued with a cold expression, "If that's the case, then it's just a verbal agreement. It may not be valid. Changsheng is indeed young, but you can't look down on her reputation because of this. As for the marriage, let's wait until it's confirmed before we talk about it. If we talk about it now, it'll damage my reputation. "
Feng Zhen: "…"
(̄) (̄) (̄)
Had he been taught a lesson by his own son?
Feng Yi really didn't take this matter to heart.
Changsheng was still young, but this group of unruly adults were so busy. He really didn't know what they were after.
Unknowingly, Feng Jin and Feng Zhen felt like they had been shot in the knees.
There were two sides to the conversation.
Feng Zhen and his son argued with each other. On the other side, Qin Gong, a young military officer, was also nervous and uneasy.
The weather was hot and the mountain roads were dry. In addition, there were several official roads that connected various places. It took him a short three days to reach the capital of Shangjing.
After a round of reporting, he finally received an invitation from Jiang Pengji to meet the rumored only female feudal lord — Liu Xi!
Qin Gong didn't dare to raise his head to look directly at her. Instead, he respectfully took out the tube bag that Xu Fei had handed to him.
Wei Ci took the tube bag and passed it to Jiang Pengji.
She violently tore open the string and took out the two secret letters inside.
The audience in the streaming room was so bored that they wanted to scratch lice. They never expected an unfamiliar young man to appear in the streaming room.
Naturally, Qin Gong's appearance was excellent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been proposed to by so many young ladies.
Coincidentally, Qin Gong's appearance was that of a cheerful and energetic young man that many people liked.
His first appearance stirred up a thousand ripples.
Fairy Queen's Crimson: "I'm crying out loud. Finally, there's a new guy. He looks so clean."
Yue Wu: "One's appearance comes from one's heart. His temperament is indeed clean, as if he saw a small sun. He's different from those black-bellied people."
Shuang Xiyang: "Little brother, are you married? Do you need a hostess? I can steal Li Zeyan's black card to support you!"
Gay Yimei: "Tsk, to the commenter above, I can sell everything I have to feed a handsome man, but don't steal my husband from me!"
Jiang Pengji was not in the mood to pay attention to those jokers. She knitted her brows and looked at the two letters of blood that were mixed with cinnabar and did not speak for a long time.
Qin Gong's mood gradually sank with her indifference.
After a while, Jiang Pengji put down the two letters.
"What's your name?"
Qin Gong sat upright and respectfully reported, "I am Qin Gong, courtesy name Feng Jing."
Jiang Pengji said, "Being courteous means being respectful; obeisance means being obedient. Who gave you this name? "
Qin Gong looked at Lian Nen and reckoned that she wasn't even twenty yet.
"My deceased father gave it to me."
Jiang Pengji was stunned for a moment. She frowned and handed one of the letters of blood to Qin Gong.
"Your lord wrote two letters of blood. One is for me, and the other is for you. Take a look and give me an answer later. "
Qin Gong did not understand. His pure eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.
Why did his lord give him letters of blood for no reason?
Why didn't she give it to him in person? Instead, she asked him to send it to the magistrate of Liuzhou?
Qin Gong picked up the letter of blood with doubts in his heart and slowly rolled up the bamboo slip.
He read it word by word. His face, which had some color just now, immediately turned as white as a sheet.
"This, this …"
