CH 56.6

Emperor Changde stood up, "Second child, I ask you, would you rather be a comfortable and idle prince, or die and enter Huangquan after failing to seize the throne?"

[黄泉 Huáng quán: the Yellow Springs; the underworld of Chinese mythology; the equivalent of Hades or Hell]

The second prince said, "The son has already made his choice, hasn't he?"

Then the second prince stood up, "I respectfully send father off."

Emperor Changde walked out of the cell, and after he walked a few steps, the second prince heard him said, "Your concubine mother and the fourth child, I will spare their lives."

The second prince clasped his hands, "Thank you, father."

The second prince was sentenced to be beheaded and he died.

The speed was very fast, and Emperor Changde personally issued the order within two days after he recovered from his illness.

Along with it came the imperial edict to seal Wei Yunzhao as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Because of his great achievements, he jumped four ranks in a row, from the fifth rank to the third rank. The Wei family, the name Wei Yunzhao once again appeared in the vision of these officials in Shengjing.

But for the Wei family, the biggest change was that someone came to propose marriage.

Wei Yunzhao and Jiang Lin sat together in the front hall and listened to the matchmaker boasting about a young man they didn't know, let alone heard of. How good and excellent he was, and how satisfied he was with their Wei family, what kind of good life Wei Yunjia could live after she got married to this young man.

Jiang Lin's whole face was blank, and later his brain was about to explode.

"Stop, stop, stop," Jiang Lin shouted to stop the matchmaker, "This is matchmaker Song, right? Well, our girl is only thirteen years old, no need to worry, it's still early, and I don't have any intention to let her marry someone at the moment, please go back, please go back."

Matchmaker Song heard Jiang Lin's meaning, her face that was full with excitement just now collapsed, but she still said patiently "Young madam, you are a man, you don't know that the girl's marriage should be arranged as soon as possible, the sooner you arrange the bigger your chance to find a good family, if it’s too late, you can only choose from the leftovers, and you will not be able to choose anything good. "

"It's not that, I, Matchmaker Song boasts. There are few people in Shengjing who don't know about me, Song Matchmaker. I have been matchmaking not eight hundred but one thousand couples, who won’t say hello to me?”

“This young master of the Ren family has money and good looks, and Miss Wei will definitely enjoy the blessings when she marries him. Besides, they just get engaged first, and they don’t get married right away. Young Madam, why don't you listen to Madam Wei's opinion on this matter, this is the Wei family's business, don't you think so?"

Hey, Jiang Lin stared at her blankly and made matchmaker Song laughed.

Jiang Lin got up, walked to the matchmaker, pointed at himself and asked her, "What do you call me?"

The matchmaker replied, "Young madam."

"Then do you know who the young madam is, matchmaker Song?" Jiang Lin gritted the two words matchmaker Song.

Matchmaker Song was a little apprehensive at this moment, "I know, I know, Young Madam, I didn't mean that, but the marriages of the girl in the family have always been ordered by her parents and said by the matchmaker. Although the eldest miss’ father was gone, but there is still Madam Wei here, so I just want to say why don’t you ask  Madam Wei... before making a decision."

The more the matchmaker spoke, the lower her voice was, and she even lowered her head.

Jiang Lin was sitting opposite her, raised his one leg over the other, "Oh, then you may haven’t inquired about this family well, I’m the master of the Wei family, and even he has to listen to me," Jiang Lin pointed at Wei Yunzhao.

Wei Yunzhao who had a taut face nodded, showing that he was agree with Jiang Lin's words.

Jiang Lin smiled, "Matchmaker Song, do you understand now?"

Matchmaker Song nodded awkwardly, she didn’t dare to not understand.

Jiang Lin clapped his hands, "Housekeeper, bring all the servants in the mansion, there is something I want to say."

The servants of the Wei family appeared soon, they were well-trained, they lined up neatly, with their heads held high, and they would never embarrass the young madam.

Jiang Lin pointed at Matchmaker Song, "This matchmaker Song said that there are few people in Shengjing who don't know her. You all look at her and then talk one by one. "

Jiang Lin kindly helped Matchmaker Song to turn around so that she could face the servants of the Wei family.

The first servant took a close look at Matchmaker Song for a while, and then said loudly: "I don't know!"

Then the second, third, and until the last one, they all said they didn't know Matchmaker Song, and Matchmaker Song 's face was flushed because of embarrassment, thinking that the Wei family was humiliating her.

However, this was not over yet. After the servants left, Jiang Lin continued to ask Matchmaker Song, "You said that young master's family is rich, so, is his family as rich as the Yun family in Jiangnan?"

The wealth of the Yun family was equivalent to that of an entire nation, was this kind of family comparable to ordinary rich people?

Matchmaker Song shook her head.

Jiang Lin was very satisfied, and then he pushed Wei Yunzhao in front of Matchmaker Song to let her take a closer look, and then he asked, "Is the young man you mentioned as good-looking as him?"

Wei Yunzhao's appearance was one of the most handsome in Shengjing, and it was not comparable to ordinary good-looking people.

Matchmaker Song shook her head again.

Jiang Lin continued to ask, "

So, what is his rank in the government officials? And what about the future plan of the young master you mentioned? Is it possible to guarantee that my sister will be the only one in this life, with no room or concubine? "

Matchmaker Song could only shake her head.

Jiang Lin pointed at the door and made a gesture of invitation to Matchmaker Song, "I know that you matchmakers need to brag a lot when you do matchmaking, but it's not good to brag to the sky. Look at you, my Wei family has dozens of people and no one has ever seen or heard of your name Matchmaker Song. So how could you say that there are few people in Shengjing who don't know you, this is not good."

"Also, that young master is not richer than me, the sister in law, and his appearance can't be compared to the elder brother. He has no official position and no plan for the future, and he still wants to take concubine to take over the house. Do you think we hate this little girl so much that we agree to let her marry into such family. "

"But no matter what, it's hard work for Matchmaker Song, housekeeper, please send Matchmaker Song out."
