After Chunshui and Liu Wendao left, Ran'er knew in her heart that the last time the Liu family asked Aunt Zhang to propose marriage, she didn't get a reply from Ran'er's side, and it is estimated that Liu Wendao's visit this time was to let Ran'er see herself, and at the same time want to see what kind of girl Ran'er is. It's just that Ran'er is now focused on the condensation of her mother's soul, and has no intention of talking about marriage.

In the evening, after Yao Shuangcheng rested, his grandparents and Ran'er Qinglian sat together and began to discuss Yao Shuangcheng's proposal.

"What do you think?"

"Grandpa, I don't understand this aspect, I don't know if the guarantee that Grandpa Yao said can really be done?"

"For the Nine Palaces Soul Locking Array, my grandfather doesn't know much either. However, Yao Shuangcheng's personality, my grandfather still knows a little about it, and since he promised it like that, it is estimated that he can do it. As for the guarantee that it will not leak out for five years, it is also the limit. Sooner or later, this place of yin will always be exposed. After all, there are no impermeable walls. If you think about the problem from a different angle, the county lord will also be buried here in the future, and with the protection of the Rui Wangfu, even if it leaks out, few people dare to covet this place. ”

"Grandpa means that he agrees to the burial of Lord Lingyin and his mother?"

"As long as it doesn't affect the condensation of your mother's soul, no matter what aspect you consider, you should agree to Yao Shuangcheng's request."

"Grandma, Lian'er, what do you think?"

"Your grandfather is right, as long as it doesn't affect Wei'er, just promise them."

"What if it affects my mother?"

Qinglian asked rhetorically.

"Ask Brother Yao carefully tomorrow, and if it really doesn't affect Wei'er, I'll promise him."

Grandpa finally clapped his head.

After dinner the next day, my grandfather told Yao Shuangcheng about everyone's worries and concerns, and Yao Shuangcheng once again vouched for his personality that it would never affect the condensation of Ran'er's soul, and Ran'er's family agreed to Yao Shuangcheng. Yao Shuangcheng finally put his mind at ease, and he no longer had to be caught between King Rui's Mansion and his son's life-saving benefactor.

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yao Wenlin came to pick up Yao Shuangcheng, and by the way, he took away 500 catties of carp, and the price was according to the price that Ran'er sold locally, fifteen yuan per catty. Five hundred pounds of carp totaled seven taels and five pieces of silver.

In the blink of an eye, it is the New Year, this is the first New Year that Ran'er and Qinglian have ever had with their relatives, and the atmosphere is particularly warm. Zhang Dazhu's family, because there was no one in their hometown, and the land was sold out, leaving only three or four thatched houses, in order to take care of the cattle, they also stayed in the fence courtyard for the New Year.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, at Ran'er's insistence, was spent together by the two families. It's even more lively. During the banquet, seeing that the two sisters had an extra seat and a pair of chopsticks, Zhang Dazhu's family naturally knew it after the sound of the piano during the Yu Lan Festival.

During the vigil, my grandmother asked Xiaoyu:

"Is Yu'er sixteen years old after the New Year?"

Yu'er seemed to guess what her grandmother was going to ask next, and she whispered a low "um" a little shyly.

"It's time to find your mother-in-law's house, but don't learn from Sister Ran'er, the girl's marriage can't be delayed, otherwise she won't be able to find a good family if she becomes a big girl."

"Yes, auntie. Daddy Xiaoyu and I are also anxious, and we are asking people to ask around to see where there are suitable offspring. ”

Aunt Zhang saw that her daughter was shy, so she took her grandmother's words and said.

"Sister Ran'er is not in a hurry, and Yu'er is not in a hurry."

Xiao Yu's voice was lower, but fortunately, everyone could still hear it.

"Sister Yu'er, grandma just said, don't learn from Sister Ran'er, you will compare."

Qinglian said jokingly.

On the first day of the new year, Ran'er and Qinglian still went to those families, the Li family's father and son, the village chief's family, and Li Langzhong's family. Zhang Dazhu's family had breakfast and went back to Zhangzhuang for a while, and they didn't come back until dark, after all, their clansmen were there.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, Yao Shuangcheng came. This time, it was accompanied by the housekeeper of the Rui Wangfu, and there was also a young son of the Rui Wangfu. said that he was a little boy, two years older than Ran'er, nineteen years old this year, named Zhao Yucheng, who looked like a jade tree in the wind, gentle and elegant. The arrival of the three of them is to determine the date and details of the burial, and the second is to compensate Ran'er's family. According to the words of the steward of the palace Cai, it is to pay the land occupation money for the tomb of the lord of Lingyin. Ran'er didn't want to accept it, but Yao Shuangcheng insisted on accepting it. Steward Cai also said:

"Miss Ran'er, you must take this money. The county lord occupies your land, so he should give money, and in addition, after the county lord enters the earth, the palace does not send people to guard the tomb, so you need to do the daily cooking of the grave. This money also includes the wages for taking care of the grave of the county lord. ”

The Rui Wangfu was quite generous, and Steward Cai gave Ran Er a silver ticket of five thousand taels, another one thousand taels of silver, and three exquisite full sets of jewelry. According to Yao Shuangcheng's words, even if you take 50,000 taels, there is nowhere to buy such a unique place to nourish yin. Of course, this was said by the people who carried the palace behind their backs. Steward Cai said to Ran'er:

"These three pairs of jewelry are given by the princess, two are for your sisters, and the other is for your mother."

After handing over the gifts, the following is naturally the little princess, Steward Cai, and Yao Shuangcheng and his grandparents discussing the date and details of the burial. Grandparents and grandmothers, as well as Ran'er and Qinglian, did not have too many requirements, the only requirement was: don't make a big show when you are buried, try to keep a low profile, so as not to be spread by someone with a heart. The people from the palace naturally agreed to come down, and Steward Cai said:

"The one who sent the coffin of the lord of Lingyin County was only the people of the palace, and the prince and princess were not present. When the weather is warm, the prince and the princess will find time to come over and have a look. As for the matter of opening a mine, first of all, it is necessary to trouble Master Yao to locate the acupoints, and the others will trouble Brother Ge and Miss Ran'er Zhang Luo, and the wages will naturally be borne by the palace. ”

After Steward Cai finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Xiaogongzi, after all, Zhao Yucheng was the main master.

I saw Zhao Yucheng stand up, first give a deep salute to his grandparents and grandmother, then a salute to Yao Shuangcheng, and finally want to salute Ran'er and Qinglian, but was stopped by the two sisters.

"Second elder, Miss Ran'er, Miss Qinglian, when Yucheng came, my father and mother had a reluctant request, so that Yucheng could discuss with the four."

"Zhao Gongzi has something to say, just give orders."

Grandpa said.

"Don't dare. The second elder and the two young ladies can agree to the little sister to be buried here, and the palace is already grateful, how dare they only say what they want. ”

Zhao Yucheng paused when he said this,

"Father and mother mean to let the younger sister and the late Mrs. Ge become yin sisters, I don't know what the second elder and the two young ladies think?"

"Zhao Gongzi, what is the identity of the county lord of Lingyin, our family Wei'er is just an ordinary folk woman, how dare she climb high?"

"The old man said seriously, his father and mother, including Yucheng, had already heard from Master Yao that the two weak young ladies had relied on each other for many years, but they had done a lot of things that ordinary people could not do, and they all admired them. It can be seen that the late Mrs. Ge must not be an idle person. ”

"Brother Ge, since the prince and the princess have such good intentions, why do you refuse? Brother, I'll be this matchmaker. ”

Yao Shuangcheng couldn't wait to promote this matter, once this matter was completed, whether it was facing the palace or the Ge family in the future, it would not be harmful to himself. At the same time, with this relationship, even if this yin cultivation hole leaks out, he is not afraid of being remembered. His original guarantee to the Ge family was even more secure.

Grandpa could see that Zhao Yucheng sincerely wanted to promote this matter, and with Yao Shuangcheng as a matchmaker, no matter what aspect he would be, it would be no harm to Sister Ran'er and his beloved daughter Wei'er, besides, there was a legitimate reason to bury the lord of Lingyin County here, so he nodded and agreed.
