Soon, my body gradually recovered, and Liu Yu sent me back to my hometown in Shandong to recuperate. This year, I was twenty-four years old, and I had already passed the age of marriage.

My grandfather was Shang Shulang in his early years, but he died a few years ago. My mother died young when I was young, and my father took the Cao family, and my younger brother Zang Tao came from the Cao family. There is also an elder brother Zang Xi at home, who has been in the army and is fighting abroad. His father was in poor health, so the Cao family was in charge of everything in the family.

After I returned home, Cao's had a lot of complaints, saying that the younger brother in the family was close to the weak crown and had not yet married; As soon as I say that I am old, I have not yet said that I am a bad person! I just don't hear about it, taking care of my father and taking care of the housework every day.

Suddenly, one day, it was said that the public family of Yuzhang County came to Shangshu Mansion to propose relatives. I'm very strange, the Zang family only has one daughter, could it be that this matchmaker is mistaken? But the matchmaker insisted that the prince of Yuzhang County was asking to marry Shang Shulang's granddaughter Zang Qing'er. The matchmaker told my stepmother that the Duke of Yuzhang was approaching the age of establishment and was not married. He is willing to marry Miss Zang with ten times the gift money demanded by the Zang family, and does not want the Zang family to accompany the dowry.

There is such a good thing in the world, my stepmother is worried about my marriage with my brother, but I didn't expect to kill two birds with one stone, and both things will be solved.

First, I, an older leftover girl, got married; Second, the dowry of the younger brother's marriage has also been settled. The stepmother agreed to this family affair at that time, and made a long list of gifts to hand over to the matchmaker.

I told my stepmother that I didn't want to marry any Yuzhang County Prince, and I was willing to serve my father for the rest of my life and never marry.

When my stepmother heard this, she began to persuade me bitterly, saying that I was already old, and my appearance was not good, so I quickly agreed while this Yuzhang county prince had not repented. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no store in this village!

No matter what she says, I just don't agree, I haven't even seen this Yuzhang County Prince, how can I marry him!

When the stepmother saw that the persuasion could not be solved, she began to mess around. She said that her life was miserable, that my father was seriously ill before my brother could start a family, and all the burdens were on her shoulders as a woman; said that his father's meager income was not enough to support the expenses of the house, let alone marry the brothers; said that now Shangshu Mansion has an empty name, she is a woman who works hard to support and work hard for the Zang family, but she is not recognized by her family; said that as the daughter of the Zang family, I can't share the worries of the Zang family, I don't marry at such an old age, and I eat my mother's family like a moth; He rolled in front of his father, saying that if I lived in my mother's house again, it would bring bad luck to the family, and the Zang family would never turn over. My sick father couldn't resist her, and persuaded me to agree to this family business, saying that I was old and he was relieved to have such a destination.

Seeing that I was not as resolute as I had at the beginning, my stepmother began to relent, persuading me to take care of the overall situation. Since ancient times, marriage, the orders of my parents, and the words of the matchmaker persuaded me to obey my parents' arrangements. He also persuaded me to agree to this marriage for the sake of my brother and the Zang family. After all, it's a good thing for me. Such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, why not do it? Eventually, I agreed to the marriage.

The prince of Yuzhang County sent a rich dowry to the Zang family, including 50 catties of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 20 horses, a gold tea tube, two silver tea tubes, two silver basins, 200 silk horses, ten pairs of panniers, ten pieces of jade, four handles of jade Ruyi, and a set of auspicious enamel plates of dragons and phoenixes.

The stepmother's happy mouth couldn't close together, and she said that I had cultivated the blessings of several lifetimes and cultivated to such a good husband's family.

For fear of long nights and dreams, the stepmother and the matchmaker hit it off and set the big day for the eighth day of the next month.

The day soon came, and a huge welcoming team came to Shangshu Mansion to greet relatives, and I was helped into a sedan chair and carried into the Yuzhang County Mansion.

When the red hijab on my head was removed, as I expected, it was Liu Yu who took the trouble to marry me into the family. Now because of his repeated miraculous achievements, he was named the Duke of Yuzhang County by the Jin State.

"Aren't you surprised?" He asked.

"I guessed it was you?"

"Oh?"

"Now, how many people can be sealed for merit? There are only a handful of people who have such a title and are unmarried, who else can go to great lengths to marry me, the old daughter of the Zang family? ”

"Qing'er is still so smart and icy!" Liu Yu looked at me appreciatively.

"I'm afraid I'm going to make you fall in love wrong!" I dodged his burning eyes.

"When I rescued you covered in blood from the ruins in Chang'an, I was thinking, even if I can't get your heart in this life, I will take care of you and give me this opportunity, okay, Qing'er?" Liu Yu looked at me sincerely.

"Would you like to have my body in tatters and my heart to have no desires?"

"I do!"

"Good ......"
