He Yuan nodded and pointed to the other side. "Hua An is over there!" As he spoke, he left by himself.

When he saw Jiang Hua An, He Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Brother An, Shen Cheng Yuan is older than you. Why aren't you getting married?"

Jiang Huanan smiled and said, "If you don't want to marry, then don't!"

"Heh heh, I actually know why Shen Zhui Yuan doesn't want to get married." Senior Servant Li brought some tea over to Jiang Hua An and He Yuan. When she heard He Yuan's question, she smiled and said, "Many people know about this. It's just that no one dares to go around and talk about it due to a previous offense." "Now that it's reversed, there's no point in saying it."

It turned out that there was a girl from the Li Residence, a childhood sweetheart named Li Qian. When the discussion between the two families began, they died because the Emperor had beaten up several of their half-brothers, while Master Li had been intimate with one of the princes and had been implicated. Mrs. Li, unable to bear the blow, also fell ill and died. As the only daughter of Master Li, Li Qian was sent to a temple for training. Later on, there were people who helped Master Li flatten the situation. Patriarch Li wanted to take Li Qian from the temple and bring her back to the Li Residence, but Li Qian said that she was already determined to go to Buddha and wasn't willing to return to the Li Residence. And Shen Wishui was always unwilling to marry, bitterly waiting for Li Qian.

There was actually such an infatuated man. Little He Yuan was surprised for a moment before he asked Li mama, "I presume that Miss Li is already in her twenties?"

"That's right!" Senior Servant Li said, "Hearing that Miss Li is the same age as Shen Zhui Yuan, she's already 23 years old this year." "At his age, his daughter is almost going to marry him." As he spoke, he glanced at He Yuan with a smile. Senior Servant Li was a shrewd senior. These past few days, she could tell that Jiang Hua An treated He Yuan slightly differently. It was most likely that the rumors saying that the general's household would go to the He manor to propose had been made for Jiang Hua An. He suddenly recalled that He Yuan's mother was only in her twenties. Wasn't the daughter she raised about to be married off?

He Yuan pretended not to hear what Senior Servant Li was saying and asked, "Does that Miss Li know that Shen Xingyuan is still waiting for her?"

"Naturally. After hearing from Miss Li that she wasn't young anymore and was only willing to spend her remaining life in front of Buddha, he told Shen Zhui Yuan not to miss his entire life because of her. The Shen family has racked their brains over Shen Zhui Yuan's marriage, but Shen Cheng Yuan refused to listen to their advice and refused to marry. " Senior Servant Li shook her head. "This is even more complicated than acting in the movies. Right now, one of them is still in the temple, and the other one isn't even willing to get married. That's quite a pity!"

After Senior Servant Li had left, Jiang Huanan said calmly, "Back then, the news about the Lee family was leaked by an elder of the Shen family." He paused before continuing, "That elder from the Shen family died a year ago."

"Ugh!" He Yuan's mouth opened widely. No wonder Miss Li refused to return the marriage. So the Shen family had her arch enemy.

Jiang Hua An looked at He Yuan and explained, "At that time, if the Shen family's elders hadn't reported the matter to the Lee family, there would have been other people who did. Moreover, the Shen family would have been implicated. Shen Zhui Yuan was waiting for Miss Li, but he can't help but feel a little guilty. "

"Brother An, if you were in my place, would you wait for Miss Li?" He Yuan was quiet. He looked up and said, "I feel that they're very pitiful!"

"I won't wait for Miss Li, I'll wait for you!" Jiang Huashan replied indifferently. He turned around and asked, "Where's Wah Kuan?" "I haven't seen him for a long time, I'll go look for him." As he spoke, he lifted his foot and left.

He Yuan was still standing there in a daze. He waited for Jiang Hua An to leave before waking up from his stupor. He turned around and ran back into the cabin. His heart was beating rapidly. Phew, were Brother An's words just now love words? I have to go back and reflect on it.

When He Yuan returned to the cabin, he saw that Jiang Hua Kuan had left, but Chen Zhu was still pinching needles. It seemed that she really wanted to embroider a perfume bag for Jiang Hua Kuan, but she didn't tease Chen Zhu and instead told him about her wish. Chen Zhu stopped sewing and exclaimed softly, "Strange, Shen Zhenyuan always looks very lonely! We also discussed secretly, saying that Shen Zhenyuan wouldn't be like the rumors outside, saying that he didn't want to marry an ordinary girl and wanted to marry the princess in the future. He did not expect to be waiting for Miss Li. It's a pity that we don't know Miss Li. Otherwise, we would have to help persuade her. "

They muttered under their breath, but they didn't notice the speed of the boat. After ten more days of sailing, which happened to be the first of the seventh month, Jiang Hua An asked the captain, "How many more days until we arrive?"

"There's a wind during the night, so I was expecting to arrive during the third day and night!" The captain said with a smile, "If it wasn't for the fact that we're afraid of the girls getting dizzy, we could have gotten there faster."

"You should hurry up." Even though the embroidery ladies were seasick, it wasn't too serious for Jiang Hua An to remember. He was even more unconscious now, but he wouldn't suffer much damage in two days. On the contrary, he was afraid that the ship behind Zhou Kuangzheng would suddenly be a step closer to him.

As for the He Residence, they paid their respects to the heavenly lord on the first day of July, and rested for a day on the second day of July. However, on the third day of July, the morning was bustling with noise and excitement. First, the matchmaker from House Anping arrived at the Residence of He. Then, Shang Jie personally brought the matchmaker over as well.

When Old Madam He, Madam He, and the others saw that Shang Jie had arrived, they were startled. They quickly gave up their seats and smiled. "Why are you here personally, Madam General? What do you mean by that?" To be honest, if someone came to her door to propose marriage, they wouldn't be able to give her face even if they didn't have a big reason to do so. There was no need for them to keep in touch with each other anymore.

When Shang Jie saw the attitude of Old Madam He and Madam He, she only smiled and said, "Because the He Estate is different from the other residences, I said that it was a bit disrespectful to have a matchmaker come to our mansion alone. However, since we don't have any girls, we should use the matter of marriage to come to our doorstep, and should treat Sister Yuan as our own daughter in the future. As for dowry and other matters, we are willing to give it to you as if you were our own daughter. As for our character and looks, the old lady and her wife already know them, so there's no need for me to boast about it. "Since we heard that the Northern Cheng State intends to come to the He Residence to propose marriage, we should make arrangements for the marriage before the envoys of the State of Northern Cheng arrive."

Seeing that Shang Jie had come personally, elder sister secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Speaking of which, how could Madam An Ping and Madam Shang Shu be easy to deal with? Besides, one had been on the side with Old Madam He and the other had been on the side with Mrs. He. They were at a disadvantage now. Now that Shang Jie had personally come, she was naturally more capable than the other two families who had only sent matchmakers. As long as they could have a little more conflict, this marriage would have been decided.

Mrs. He was originally from the House of the Marquis of Peace, and the meeting was attended by Shang Jie personally, but she did not make a sound. He thought that if Madam Anping complained in the future, she would have something to say. Who told him not to come personally? The general's wife had come personally, so who was this marriage arranged for?

As usual, Matriarch He kept her word, assuming that Madam He and the young mistress would not dare to go against her wishes. Naturally, He Yuan wanted to make a marriage proposal to the Shang Shu Manor, but who knew that Shang Jie would come personally after their meeting. She didn't know what to say, so she secretly calculated in her heart that it was really rare for the Madam General to give her face like this, and it actually wasn't a bad idea to betroth her to her family. Besides, everything was fine after the wedding between He Zixin and Jiang Citrus. Although Jiang Hua An was ten years older than Sister Yuan, it was actually a good marriage. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

The matchmaker sent by the marquis saw that things were not going well and hurriedly returned to report to the marquis. Sigh, he was just a small matchmaker, how could he dare to go up against the general's wife? Would he still have to stay in the capital in the future? In this matter, Madam An Ping had to step forward herself.

When Marquis An Ping heard that Shang Jie personally brought the matchmaker to her house, she stomped her feet in anger and said, "He actually went to his place to propose marriage, what kind of joke is this?" As he said this, he hurriedly called for people to prepare the bridge. As he faced Marquis An Ping, he said, "Since Madam General has personally gone to the Residence of He, I must go personally as well. Otherwise, the Residence of He would have naturally agreed to her request. "

The marquis frowned and said, "There are several ladies in the Residence of He. Why do you want to congratulate her?"

"She's the one who wants to fight with me, not me." "He Nian will naturally become the head supervisor of the imperial court. With Sister Yuan as the eldest princess' goddaughter, how can the other girls in the Residence of He compare to her? Besides, it's not like you don't know that the Grand Princess speaks the most in front of the Emperor. With her here, Sister Yuan is different. Whoever marries Sister Yuan would be equivalent to a county horse, and wouldn't have to follow the etiquette of the imperial family like a county horse. In any case, I must have this wife. " As he spoke, he hurriedly left.

When Madam Anping arrived at the Residence of He, she saw that Shang Jie was coaxing Old Madam He and Madam He. She was flustered for a moment, but her face didn't reveal anything. She only smiled and said, "Oh, the General's Estate has six brothers. I wonder which brother's relationship the Madam General is proposing to this time?"

"Naturally, it will be Boss Hua An." When Shang Jie saw that Madam An Ping actually came, Old Madam He and Madam He did not dare to be negligent, as their advantage was gone in an instant. She secretly gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. Hmph, you came here to propose marriage for your youngest son, right? His elder brothers were suppressing him, so how could he be the one to speak? He also had to remind Old Madam He and the others that he was the eldest son, and the eldest young mistress was the moment he entered the room. There was also a title in the last imperial edict, and it would soon be the wife of a major general.

When Madam Anping heard Shang Jie's words, she pretended that she had just found out that Shang Jie was proposing marriage for Jiang Huanan. She smiled and said, "Hua An is already 21 years old and Sister Yuan is only 11 years old. As for us, Brother Yang, we're thirteen years old this year, two years older than Sister Yuan, and we have two little guesses.

"Whether it's a good match or not doesn't depend on the difference in age." Shang Jie also laughed, "I was ten years younger than our general, but no one said anything was wrong. Furthermore, with so many people in our mansion, your husband and wife are still several years apart. No one has ever said that it was inappropriate.

"If Sister Yuan is 15 or 16 years old now, then there's nothing wrong with having your Hua An at 25 or 26 years old. The problem is that Sister Yuan is only eleven years old, that's not appropriate. " The marquis didn't want to admit defeat, so she retorted.

"Sister Yuan, are you going to be eleven forever?" Shang Jie tactfully said, "After a few years, Sister Yuan will be 15 or 16 years old, and my Hua An will be 25 or 26. "But your brother Yang is still so young and doesn't know how to love a lady. He's even afraid of hurting Sister Yuan."

"My brother Yang may be young, but he has a gentle personality. He's the one who gives the best to others. How can he not know how to pamper a lady?" Madam Anping was at a disadvantage in her words, but she was neither impatient nor impatient. Heh heh, I've already agreed with Madam He, and in the end, you're naturally going to pick our Brother Yang as your partner!

However, the matchmaker sent by Shang Shu Manor was completely disgraced. She could only advise Shang Jie and An Ping, "Our He Manor is not only undecided about Sister Yuan, we also have Sister Min, Yi, and the others. You guys don't have to fight over them. "Although I am unwilling to part with my great-grandson's daughter, since you all have come to kiss me, I have no choice but to call your great-grandson's daughter out and let you guys choose one." "Haha, the general's manor and the Anping manor are all good weddings that every manor would like to have. It's good that everyone is here." En, now that all of you are here, we must catch you all in one fell swoop. We cannot let you all return empty-handed. Our Min'er and Yi'er took the opportunity to give it to you. Besides, those who came to kiss her would have to put on makeup for her in the future. Speaking of which, it would be worth it. Not bad, not bad. Today is a good day.

When your elder sister heard that Shang Jie and Madam Anping were at odds with each other, she was somewhat baffled. Why did this situation resemble her from the beginning? In the end, he wouldn't ask Sister Yuan to choose one for herself, would he?

As for Madam Shang Shu, since she wanted to rely on her relationship with Old Madam He, this marriage was certain to happen. But she wasn't in a rush, so after giving a few instructions to the matchmaker, she asked her to bring someone to the Residence of He. Who would've thought that after about two hours, a wife would rush over and say, "Madam, incredible. The General's Estate and the wife of the Anping Marquis Estate have both taken their matchmaker to their doorsteps to propose marriage. How can they be their match if only our manor has a single matchmaker?"

"What?" They actually kissed? " Madam Shang slammed her hand on the table and stood up angrily. "They've lost their face!"

"I see, you have to do it yourself. If not, how would the matchmaker have the leeway to speak? " The old woman was a bit impatient. When she saw the general's wife and the marquis' wife's posture just now, she was afraid that there was no hope for the Shang Shu Manor.

"Prepare the palanquin!" When Madam Shang heard from her grandma that Shang Jie and Madam Marquis Anping would oppress the matchmaker of the Shang Shu Manor, she retreated to a corner and said a few words. A fire burned in her chest and she did not care much and hastily went inside to change her clothes, saying, "I have let them go for many years, if you want to talk about a granddaughter-in-law this time, you have to fight with me for her! Previously, when I heard that Beicheng wanted to talk about Sister Yuan, I thought that since I was young, Sister Yuan had grown up with Brother Jie, so I couldn't bear to see her marry so far away. Thus, I told Old Madam He that if she were to give it to Jie Ge'er, she would be able to avoid marrying into Beicheng. Heaven is fair, this one is for Sister Yuan's sake. They were afraid that seeing that Sister Zhong Yuan was the eldest princess' goddaughter and that she was now ranked second in the embroidery contest, they wanted to marry her and bring her back to the family to brag about her achievement. However, they didn't think that since the brother of the An Ping Marquis was the youngest son, how could he compare with the eldest grandson of the eldest son? The general's wife was even more thick-skinned. Her family's Hua An was already 21 years old, how could she bring up an 11 year old girl? If it was mentioned for my youngest son and I didn't say anything, it would actually be mentioned for my eldest son. What the hell are you talking about? " As he spoke, he changed into a new set of clothes, climbed onto the bridge, and headed towards the Residence of He.
