Chapter 77: The Feast of Thanksgiving (Part II)
"Gong Yu walks slowly, Yingkang has something to say." Just as Gong Yu was about to leave, Ying Kang plucked up his courage and shouted.
"Oh? Do you still have something to say? The drunken Duke turned around and asked suspiciously.
"Hmm---" Ying Kang nodded.
So Duke Yu and Mrs. Jun stopped, "Please speak." ”
This, this?
Although Yingkang had mustered up the courage, at the critical moment, he was speechless, and his face was flushed and he still didn't dare to say it.
Zhao Boyu, who was standing on the side, couldn't bear it for a long time, and after drinking some wine, all the courage came up, so he stepped forward and said: "Duke Yu, Mrs. Jun, in fact, the purpose of our trip to Guanzhong is not only to seek to open up the passage from Inuqiu to Guanzhong, but also to ask for the marriage of my family Yingkang Gongzi." ”
Courtship?
After hearing this, Duke Yu and Mrs. Jun immediately sobered up most of the wine, "Asking for a kiss?" Which girl's relatives are you asking? Need help from an old man? ”
"My son-in-law's favorite girl is your princess Ruoxi, and my son-in-law Yingkang wants to ask Duke Yu to marry Princess Ruoxi to him." Zhao Boyu finally said what Yingkang had in his heart.
At this time, Ying Kang didn't feel embarrassed, so he directly said to Duke Yu and Mrs. Jun: "Ying Kang has been unforgettable since the last time I saw Princess Ruoxi, and this time I came to implore Gong Yu to cut his love and marry Princess Ruoxi to Ying Kang." If this can be done, Yingkang will never forget the great kindness of Duke Yu to Yingkang and even the Qin people. ”
As the saying goes: happiness comes too suddenly.
And for Duke Yu and Mrs. Jun at this time, it was really true: the proposal came too suddenly.
At that moment, Duke Yu and Mrs. Jun were stunned.
"This, this?" Gong Yu was getting old, and he really didn't know how to answer Ying Kang for a while, so he had to look at Mrs. Jun on the side.
Mrs. Jun also looked at a loss, "This, how can this child be so sudden?" ”
So suddenly?
Mrs. Jun's words immediately reminded Gong Yu, so she said to Ying Kang: "Young Master Ying Kang, don't you think that you are proposing to my Kingdom of Yu like this, isn't it a little too abrupt?" Even if you want to propose to my family Ruoxi, at least it should be ordered by your parents and the words of the matchmaker, right? ”
When Gong Yu said this, he immediately mentioned Ying Kang's spirituality, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Ying Kang thank you Gong Yu for reminding me, I will beg my mother and eldest brother to come to Qiu Guo to propose." ”
When Yingkang said this, how did he know that the princess Ji Ruoxi, who was hiding not far from the banquet hall of the palace, turned red, and then left shyly.
When she was in Longshan, she waited for this somewhat shy Qin son to confess to herself, but when she took Yingkang in her arms, Yingkang still didn't say what was in her heart to herself.
If Yingkang doesn't say anything now, he will wait until tomorrow morning, and the monarch's father will send him off. At this time, she finally heard that Yingkang personally promised to go back to Inuqiu and ask her mother and eldest brother to arrange for someone to come to the country to ask for marriage.
Is there anything more joyful in life?
Now she can finally rest in peace.
In fact, how did Ying Kang know that the husband and Mrs. Jun were just a word of resignation, and at this time, Ying Kang, who was eager to propose marriage, took it seriously.
Looking at the back of Ying Kang happily walking out of the palace, Duke Yu shook his head gently, and then walked towards the palace with Mrs. Jun.
Gong Yu and Mrs. Jun, who returned to the dormitory, couldn't sleep anymore, they didn't know the purpose of Ying Kang's trip to Qiu Guo, in fact, from Ying Kang's answer to Yu Shi's father's question, Yu Gong could more or less guess that the purpose of Ying Kang's trip was not as simple as that.
After all, Yingkang is a teenager who is only seventeen years old, and he is in his youth, how can he not be tempted to meet a beautiful girl?
What's more, his daughter is talented and beautiful, so young boys and girls stay together, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no emotion.
Besides, he has always admired Ying Kangduo, and he attaches more importance to his daughter's inexplicable admiration for this Qin son from Xituo Dog Hill.
"Hey---" Gong Yu sighed, "it seems that this matter cannot be delayed any longer." ”
"I told you a long time ago, find a good family for Ruoxi as soon as possible, but you just don't agree, saying that your daughter is still young, and it's not too late to wait a few more years. Look, can you wait any longer? Even if he wasn't snatched away by Rong Di, he was taken by a barbarian Qin man from Inuqiu. I think you're going to clean up this? Mrs. Jun couldn't help but complain.
"So what do you tell me to do?" Yu Gong said impatiently.
"What else can I do? Didn't Shen Hou send someone to propose to my daughter not long ago? I think Prince Shen is okay, but you just don't agree. Say that the young man is too frivolous, and he is afraid that he will not be good to Ruoxi in the future. It's okay now, the prince of the Shen Kingdom can't do it, is it possible that you still have to find a wild boy for my daughter who is far away in the west? Mrs. Jun said angrily to Gong Yu.
"What are you talking about, where did I promise to marry my daughter to the Qin people?" Gong Yu said angrily, "Besides, what kind of place is Dog Hill, it is an absolutely barren land, and it is surrounded by a bunch of barbaric Rongdi people. If Ruoxi is married to Inuqiu, isn't that tantamount to harming his own daughter? ”
To be honest, although he admires a young talent like Yingkang very much, but appreciation is appreciation, appreciation never means that people are willing to marry their daughter to you.
Besides, what is the identity of other people's daughters, that is the daughter of the kingdom of Qiu, the only pearl of the prince of the country, if you want to marry, you will marry the prince of any of the princes of Jinai, and when you become a princess, when the old monarch dies, she will naturally become the wife of the monarch of a country.
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the princes of the world were divided into two types and five ranks.
The so-called princes of Jinai refer to the princes around the capital of the Zhou royal family, such as the kingdom of Yu, Shen, San, Ya, Jing, Rong, etc., because in Guanzhong, they are all called the princes of Jinai. Relative to the Guanzhong states, the princes outside the Guanzhong are called the princes outside the Guanzhong, such as the Jin State, the Chu State, the Qi State, the Song State, etc
And among these princes, there are also ranks, which are divided into five levels. They are: male, marquis, uncle, son, male five, etc.
And the Kingdom of Yu is located near the capital of the Zhou royal family, even if it is to find a country closer to his parents, he will naturally find a prince for Princess Ruoxi among the princes of Jinai. He would definitely not marry his own princess to a bitter cold place like Inuqiu, not to mention that with the current identity of Yingkang, he would not be able to match Princess Ruoxi at all.
Because no matter how good you are Yingkang, it would be very good to be the best doctor of Xitui, and you will definitely not be able to be the monarch, as long as Yingkang can't be the monarch, then you can't give Princess Ruoxi the title of Mrs. Jun.
Since you can't give your daughter everything she wants no matter what, why does the country want to marry your daughter to you Yingkang?
"Hey--, I knew that today, I might as well agree to Shen Guo's marriage proposal!" To this day, Gong Yu really feels that his decision not to marry his daughter to Prince Shen Guo was a mistake.
After all, her daughter is sixteen years old, and she should have been married to someone a long time ago.
