Chapter 116 Chu Jingyue's previous life marriage contract is advanced
Zhou Changchuan's face froze, and he looked at his brother helplessly. The courage in his heart faded away, and he withdrew his gaze and got on the carriage.
At the gate of Jiang's house, as he watched the carriage go away, the unhappiness on Jiang Mushi's face completely disappeared.
"Finally they left. Mom, please don't invite them here again next time."
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that. You did beat someone up. Because you were trying to protect your sister, I didn't ask you to apologize. If you dare to hit someone again next time, I'll..."
"Just break my legs." Jiang Mushi took over Zheng's words, "I know, I've heard calluses on my ears. If he hadn't said that my sister wasn't worthy of his brother, who would want to hit him?"
"Okay, stop talking." Zheng glared at Jiang Mushi again, then looked at Jiang Suining, "Suining, don't believe this nonsense, it's that Zhou Changchuan who is not worthy of you. I thought he was good before, but now it seems that he is just so-so. Anyway, more and more people have come to propose marriage recently, so let's take our time to choose the best one!"
Before Jiang Suining could even open his mouth, Jiang Mushi got furious.
"There are so many people proposing marriage, how come I don't know when it happened?"
"What can you learn from spending all day in the academy? Ever since your elder sister's coming-of-age ceremony, matchmakers have been knocking on the door almost everywhere." Zheng's tone revealed a hint of pride.
Their family would rather not know how many families are trying their best to marry them, so they let Zhou's son come to look for her. In the final analysis, it is because of Yu's face, otherwise they would have just sent their invitations and queued up.
"No, starting tomorrow I won't go to the academy. I want to supervise it myself." Jiang Mushi said seriously.
Zheng slapped him on the head, "Why are you guarding the gate? Is it your turn?"
Jiang Mushi covered the back of his head and said, "I have to check it. This is my sister's lifelong event. I can't be careless. I have to choose carefully."
"Your elder sister will make the choice." Zheng rolled her eyes at her son, then softened her tone and said to Jiang Suining, "Suining, your father and I will examine the family background and character. As for who to choose in the end, don't worry, it's up to you to decide. Your father and I will not interfere."
Both she and the master were reassured by the choice Sui Ning made.
"Mother, I just wanted to talk to you about this matter. I also ask you and father to help me reject those who propose marriage. My daughter has no plans to get married for the time being."
"Sui Ning, you have already reached the age of marriage, it is time to consider marriage, but don't delay yourself because of embarrassment. It is natural for men and women to get married."
"Mother, you misunderstood. I really don't want to get married for the time being." Jiang Suining paused, smiled at Zheng, and rarely revealed a bit of coquettish tone, "Mother, please let me stay at home for another two years."
"Your father and I are willing and happy to stay at home as long as you want, but we are afraid that delaying it will delay you." Zheng frowned, "I heard that Princess Chu, who is close to you, is in turmoil at home because of the marriage."
The Chu Palace is a very prestigious family, but Princess Chu has dragged it on until now, and there are still many people talking about her behind her back. If she continues like this, it will become increasingly difficult for her to get married.
"How did mother know the news about Prince Chu's Palace?" Jiang Suining was slightly stunned. She hadn't seen Jingyue in the past few days and was not very clear about the news about Prince Chu's Palace.
"It was your aunt Yu who just told me that although their family is a merchant, they are somewhat related to the Prince of Chu's Palace. I heard that Prince Chu and Princess Chu have their eyes on a marriage, but Princess Chu is not happy about it. Now Princess Chu has been locked up in the palace and is not allowed to go out." Zheng sighed.
Although it is said that all parents in the world are compassionate, and Prince Chu and Princess Chu are also doing this for Princess Chu's own good, Princess Chu must be very sad after seeing such a mess.
After hearing the news from Zheng, Jiang Suining felt uneasy and took Xier to the Prince of Chu's Palace the next day.
After someone informed her, Jiang Suining was invited in, but she did not see Chu Jingyue immediately. Instead, she was brought to the Princess of Chu.
"Sui Ning greets the princess." Jiang Sui Ning bowed and saluted.
"Miss Jiang, you're welcome. Please get up quickly." Princess Chu said with a smile, her expression showing some fatigue. She was really exhausted these past few days because of Chu Jingyue's affairs.
"Thank you, Princess." Jiang Suining stood up straight, "Princess, you seem a little tired."
Princess Chu said helplessly, "Miss Jiang, you and Jingyue have a good relationship, so I won't hide some things from you. The prince has chosen a marriage for Jingyue, but the child refuses to agree. She has been making a fuss these past few days. You are friends, so I hope you can help persuade her. She is not young anymore, and she really can't delay any longer."
If she really ends up with the reputation of an old maid, what will Jingyue do in the future?
"I wonder if the princess could tell me what the marriage was that the prince chose?"
"He is a candidate named Wei who is taking the imperial examination. Some time ago, he was introduced to the prince. He has good looks and talent. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to pass the exam this year."
Although her background is not good, they don't care about it. Moreover, people with lower family background will value Jingyue more, and she will not be wronged if she marries her.
As for his future, as long as he passes the exam, the Chu Palace will naturally help pave the way for him, so he doesn't have to worry about his future career.
Jiang Suining frowned secretly in her heart. After hearing the news yesterday, she was a little worried that it might be the scholar named Wei that Jingyue married in the previous life. It turned out to be him. Compared with the previous life, this time is much earlier.
Although he had people investigate Wei Congze, no major mistakes or omissions were found for the time being. As for the allegations of his corruption and bribery, there was no evidence to support it, so it was naturally impossible for the palace to give up the engagement because of this.
"Miss Jiang?"
The voice of Princess Chu interrupted Jiang Suining's thoughts. She raised her head and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will try my best to persuade the princess."
Soon, Jiang Suining was taken outside Chu Jingyue's room.
Let Xier wait a little further away. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, and Chu Jingyue's voice immediately came from inside the room.
"Take it away. I said I don't want to eat it."
"It's me." Jiang Suining said.
The next moment, the room was opened. Chu Jingyue saw Jiang Suining, her eyes turned red, and she pouted, "Why did you come to see me just now!"
Although it sounds like a complaint, there is no blame in the tone, but rather more of aggrieved.
Jiang Suining smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry, I just got the news yesterday."
Chu Jingyue reached out and pulled Jiang Suining into the room, then slammed the door shut.
"Sui Ning, my parents want to arrange a marriage for me."
"I heard about that scholar named Wei."
"I don't want to get married. I don't like him!" Chu Jingyue said in a muffled voice, and then said, "Sui Ning, you will support me and stand by my side, right?"
Jiang Suining was about to nod, but then he changed his mind and sighed, "The prince and princess are doing this for your own good. You might as well just listen to them this time."
