Chapter 142: Family Affairs

Qing Xuan walked across the street to Jing Ping's side, a beautiful face under the umbrella was revealed, Qing Xuan covered the two of them with an umbrella, and said in a subtle voice: "Why is Brother Jing here?"

Jing Ping didn't dare to look at Qing Xuan's eyes, and said in a panic, "I didn't know how I came here." Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test "After speaking, he stopped speaking, although he had a thousand thoughts and thousands of words in his heart, but at this time Jingping didn't know how to speak.

The two of them stood quietly under the umbrella like this, watching the silent light rain trickling outside the umbrella, watching the night slowly deepen, Qing Xuan had already grabbed sticky sweat in one hand in her purse, and it took a long time for Jingping to find a topic: "It's late at night." It's time for the girl to go home. “

"Huh?" Qing Xuan nodded a little surprised and disappointed, and pulled her hand out of her purse, and one of the mandarin duck sachets inside had been pinched and deformed by her.

A horse-drawn carriage drove from the corner of the street, and Huang Yuneng and Li Beiguang were sitting in the car. The two had just come out of the restaurant, and they were still a little drunk.

Li Beiguang raised the curtain and said, "In front of you is the Qingxuan girl's house." “

Huang Yuneng heard that he looked out of the car curtain and saw the figures of Jing Ping and Qing Xuan standing on the side of the street, Li Beiguang saw Huang Yu Neng's eyes staring at Qing Xuan, smacked his lips and said: "What a beauty, this Lord Jing is really sitting still, and I haven't seen any movement for so long." “

Huang Yu could take his eyes off Qing Xuan when he heard this, and fell on Jing Ping with jealousy.

After some hesitation, Jing Ping decided to find Qin Muyao to come forward to help him propose to Qing Xuan. But Qin Muyao hadn't had time to reach the door of Cui's house, and the money matchmaker in the city had already come to visit with Huang Yuneng's dowry.

Qingxuan was not at home this day, she and her friends went to Zhenruan outside the city to make a marriage wish for herself.

"Master Cui, your girl is really blessed. was taken by Lord Huang, who was a role model for this year's imperial examination, and was awarded the title of a five-grade official on the spot in the palace examination, and his future is immeasurable. I heard that your young lady and Lord Huang met because the young lady went to buy the adult's words, it was really destined for marriage. "The money matchmaker has been married a lot, and a lotus mouth is flattery.

It didn't take long for Qingxuan's father to be overjoyed by what Qian matchmaker said, and soon agreed to this family affair for his daughter, after all, his son is just a small Qipin county order or a place where birds don't in other provinces, if there is such an outstanding son-in-law in the court of Nanyang City, he must also be beautiful.

Qing Xuan, who had just returned home, was attracted by the bridal gifts in the house, and Qing Xuan happily looked at them one by one and thought in her heart: "Worship during the day, and see the dowry at night, it's really a miracle." “

Master Cui walked in from outside the door, and when he saw his daughter's happy appearance, he was even more happy, and said to Qing Xuan excitedly: "I know that it is right to go down to this family business, this Lord Huang has a bright future, and he has just become a waiter. With so many dowries at once, ordinary people will have such a big amount of money. “

Qing Xuan froze when she heard her father's words, she put down a delicate face in her hand and asked, "Lord Huang, which Lord Huang, aren't these the dowry gifts of Lord Jing Pingjing?"

"You come out for me! Where is the reason to accept someone else's dowry and send it back? Your mother died early, and I have been a father and a mother all these years, and I have brought you up with your brother. Your brother is now settled, don't you also want you to have a good home, this Lord Huang c/oc/o" Master Cui knocked on the door of Qingxuan and kept chattering.

Qing Xuan opened the door suddenly, and said with red eyes: "I know that it has not been easy for you all these years, but you have to respect my opinion for such a big thing as getting married, I don't know this Lord Huang at all, I don't like it at all! You gave me these dowry gifts! You agreed to it for your own face and money!"

Master Cui was told that his mind was broken, and he became angry and yelled at Qing Xuan: "I have already accepted this dowry, you can see what you do!"

At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door, and Master Cui scolded and said while opening the door, "It's so late." Who, don't you know it's going to disturb others?"

As soon as the door opened a crack, Jing Ping, who looked anxious, squeezed in, and arched his hand and said, "Daddy Cui, I am Jiaxian's classmate, and I came to find Qingxuan." “

Qing Xuan, who heard the voice, had already walked out of the house, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and after seeing Jingping, Qing Xuan's tears were more like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't speak with tears in her eyes.

Jing Ping rushed to Qing Xuan and looked at it for a while, wanting to help Qing Xuan wipe his tears, but he didn't dare to raise his hand.

"What are you doing here, my father has already accepted someone else's dowry, and I'm going to get married!" Qing Xuan cried.

Jing Ping's face was even more red when he heard this, and he took out a pile of crumpled paper from his arms for a long time. After opening his mouth to say something, he couldn't say it, and finally sighed and picked up Qing Xuan's hand, stuffed the pile of paper into Qing Xuan's hand, and stammered: "This, this is my house, the house deed, the title deed, and, so." All your savings, here. “

Qing Xuan wiped her tears, looked at the paper in her hand, and was stunned. Jing Ping calmed down a little and then said, "Don't." Promise to marry someone else. “

Qing Xuan looked at Jing Ping's flustered appearance, because he was in a hurry to go out, he didn't even put on his boots, one trouser leg was tucked into the boot, and the other trouser leg was hanging on the top of the boot. She sorted out the house deeds, title deeds and silver tickets in her hand one by one, and asked, "Are these your dowry?"

Jing Ping nodded nervously: "I originally wanted King Rui's wife to come and say kiss for me." But as soon as I found out, I came running, and if you want the boxes in them, I'll buy them now. “

After speaking, Jing Ping turned around and ran to the door, saying as he ran: "Qingxuan, you wait, wait for me." As soon as he ran out of the door, he came back in a panic, stood in front of Qing Xuan and said embarrassedly: "My belongings are all here, and I don't have any silver tickets to buy things, you give me a few first." “

Qing Xuan burst into tears and laughed: "What a fool, you gave me all the things, what do I want those boxes for." “

Jing Ping laughed stupidly when he heard it, and asked cautiously for a while: "Then did you agree?"

Qing Xuan took Jing Ping's hand and nodded heavily, and then shouted to Master Cui next to him: "I want to marry this person, so I don't want to marry any Lord Huang, you give back all those things!"

Master Cui glared at the beard angrily, but he was helpless: "My little aunt, how can I return this after accepting it." “

"I don't care, if you don't retreat, I'll go back to his house with my husband tonight. Qing Xuan shouted loudly.

"Hey, you're not a girl. Seeing this, Master Cui also retreated, after all, Jingping also knew. and his son Cui Jiaxian are classmates, and they have been in important positions in Nanyang City.

On the second day, Huang Yuneng looked at the pile of dowry gifts that were carried back from home, and his face was blue. Mrs. Qian kept beating thousands beside her: "Lord Huang, you have a lot, don't be angry, this Cui family girl doesn't know the height of the sky, she doesn't know Mount Tai with her eyes, there are a lot of good girls." With your status and prospects, those girls don't take the initiative to send them to the door. “

Soon Jingping and Qing Xuan's wedding was held, and Qing Xuan also knew through his father and Qian Matchmaker that Huang Yu could know his origin because he bought a pair of words from him before he made his career, and Qing Xuan wrapped up the words and sent them back without saying a word.

Since then, Huang Yuneng and Jingping's Liangzi have completely concluded.

In the following two or three years, the wind and rain were smooth. The world is peaceful, and the Nanyang Kingdom has slowly strengthened its national strength again, and a scene of prosperity has emerged. The relationship between the princes is gradually becoming tense, and a storm is brewing all the time.

The relationship between King Jing and King Rui is getting closer and closer, and King Gong Su and Xu are receiving more and more favors, Emperor Su and Jing Shuo are seriously ill, and their health is getting worse day by day, and the call for a neutral prince in the court is getting higher and higher.

The autumn harvest is coming. This year is another bumper year, and the whole court is making contributions to the strength of the country and the prosperity of the people in recent years.

Huang Yuneng said in the recital that in recent years, the harvest in all parts of the country has been better than one year after another, the price of grain has fallen to the lowest point since the founding of the Nanyang Kingdom, and the population has also increased by a quarter compared with the early days of this dynasty. For example, in Qianjing County, on the outskirts of Nanyang City, adult males only need to farm for two or three months a year, and when they are busy with farming, they are at home the rest of the time.

As a result, there have been an increase in the number of idle people, an increase in gambling in various places, and other social problems, and the fundamental reason for all this is because of the rapid increase in population, the land allocated to the people in the narrow townships is too small, and the people have no land to plant.

In the recital, he said: "The fundamental thing to revitalize agriculture is to let the people have land to plant, but now the people in the narrow townships have no land to plant, and there is no one to plant in the wide townships, and the land is uneven in various places, and the narrow townships are overcrowded, and the wide townships are uninhabited, and the corresponding social problems will be more serious in less than two years, and once they encounter a disaster year and a poor year, the people's lives will be miserable." “

Cao Renjun kept nodding in agreement: "Huang Situ's words are very reasonable, the people have the foundation to live only when they have land, and the imperial court really needs to take the matter of moving to the wide countryside." But this is also a very difficult thing, for thousands of years, the people have been reluctant to leave their hometowns at will, leaving their familiar homes, this matter still needs the emperor to choose a prince to deal with this matter. “

"Then Aiqing, which prince do you think I should send to take charge of this matter?" asked Suhe Jingshuo as he looked at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and the court, which was still very lively, suddenly fell silent, and everyone was carefully observing the emperor's expression, trying to find some hints from it.

"The minister thinks that this matter belongs to the king of Rui. "The king of the household department of the lower household Wang Yingke said, "Back then, the king of Rui carried out the matter of requisitioning grain and merging officials, vigorously and resolutely, and the effect was remarkable, this matter was similar to the nature of requisition of grain and merging officials, and King Rui was also relatively experienced. “

Hearing this, Su Hehan immediately held back a smile and looked at Cheng Lianjin, Cheng Lianjin secretly glanced at him calmly and looked at Su and Jingshuo, Su He Jingshuo saw that no one objected, so he said: "Then for the time being, King Rui will preside over this matter." “

As soon as Cheng Lianjin returned to the mansion with his front foot, Su Hehan arrived with his back foot, and when he saw the person coming, Cheng Lianjin said angrily: "How long do you say you have been cooking in my mansion?
