Chapter 469: [Chengfu Funeral]
Chapter 469: [Chengfu funeral]
...
An old man in the Cheng family has really passed away.
The old man is Cheng Laohuo's uncle Cheng Yu, who passed away in the hometown of the Cheng family, Jizhou.
Jizhou is Shandong in later generations.
After Cheng Laohun's father Cheng Lou passed away, Cheng Yu, the closest elder, was left in the family. Cheng Laohun always respected Cheng Yu like his father.
Moreover, the Cheng family was also very powerful in Jizhou and had a very strong foundation in Jizhou. When Cheng Laohuo followed Li Shimin to make a fortune, Jizhou was his backer. During the years of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Cheng Laohuo was uneasy in Chang'an, so he often sent his family to Jizhou. Thirteen years ago, when Mrs. Cheng was pregnant with Cheng Wenxiao, Cheng Laohuo sent Mrs. Cheng to Jizhou for production, and let Cheng Wenxiao live in Jizhou for three or four years. After Lao Li took the throne and everything in Chang'an stabilized, he took Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Wenxiao back from Jizhou.
Cheng Wenxiao spent half of her childhood in Jizhou. Cheng Xu, the uncle, was no different from his grandfather, and had a very strong relationship with Cheng Wenxiao.
Cheng Yu had no children in his life and only adopted a few children in his clan. Now that he is dead, as the closest family of Cheng Laohun, he needs to do his funeral. Three years of mourning is not suitable for Cheng Laohun. If he was not in Chang'an for three years, after returning from the three years, the Cheng family would be afraid that it would be unbelievable. Therefore, Cheng Laohun decided to guard for three months and the rest would be guarded by his children.
Cheng Wenxiao and Cheng Laosan both grew up in Jizhou, so it is most appropriate to let them be filial to Jizhou.
Li Chengqian was called aside by Mr. Cheng and listened to him saying these words. When he said this, he knew Cheng Wenxiao's arrangements for the next three years.
His face immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
Although the old man in Jizhou was not arranged by Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng obviously intends to use this matter to separate Li Chengqian and Cheng Wenxiao.
Just when Li Chengqian was about to overturn the table, Cheng Laohuo continued, "I knew that Your Highness had fallen in love with Xiaojiu. Therefore, I had a lot of misunderstandings with me. After the misunderstanding, the Cheng family realized that Xiaojiu would be a good story, so I agreed to you and Xiaojiu. Now Xiaojiu is going to Jizhou to stay mourning for three years. Your Highness can make a marriage contract with Xiaojiu first, and then marry Xiaojiu and enter the palace after three years."
Li Chengqian couldn't lift the table anymore. He was stunned when he heard the news he had been looking forward to, and then asked in disbelief: "Are you... saying true?"
Old Man Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, I thought when will Your Highness send the wine back to the mansion? I told Your Highness that I didn't think of this matter, so I had to make this plan!"
Li Chengqian was surprised suddenly, and then his mind quickly started to flow. He stood up, bowed his hand to Cheng Lao Huo, and said, "Chengqian has met his father-in-law!"
"Uh, hehe..." Cheng Lao Huo didn't expect Li Chengqian to call him so quickly. He quickly stood up and helped Li Chengqian up.
Li Chengqian asked, "I don't know when my father-in-law will go to Jizhou?"
"Tomorrow." said Mr. Cheng.
"The village official who came to the Tang Dynasty Chapter 469: [Cheng Mansion Funeral] "I will leave tomorrow, and I should set off early. So within today, I will set up my engagement with Cheng Wenxiao.
"Chengqian will go back to the palace now." Li Chengqian said.
After saying that, he walked out.
I went to find Cheng Wenxiao. She was hugging her mother and crying in the room. It seemed that her relationship with her uncle was still very deep.
After Li Chengqian entered, she patted her back gently, and she raised her head with red eyes. Cheng Wenxiao just now, her mother was hugged by Cheng Wenxiao. Her head was buried in her legs and cried, and her pants were wet. She stood up at this time and wanted to go out and give Li Chengqian a world of two people.
"Auntie doesn't have to leave. I'll go back to the palace by saying something." Li Chengqian called her, then looked at Cheng Wenxiao, and said, "I'll go back to the palace first, there's something wrong."
Although Cheng Wenxiao was sad, she was a rational girl. She didn't feel sad, and her boyfriend had to be with her. He was the prince, so he had to deal with something so that he would leave at this time.
"The village official who came to the Tang Dynasty" "Well, I'm fine, you go!" Cheng Wenxiao wiped her tears and said.
Li Chengqian didn't explain to her what was going on, waved to her, and walked out.
After a hurry to the palace, Li Chengqian was the first to find Su Mi.
Su Mi was originally with Cheng Wenxiao before, but suddenly a eunuch ran in and said that something happened to the Cheng family and that the old man in Jizhou passed away, so she hurried back, but Su Mi was worried about her in the palace.
Now that Li Chengqian is back, she hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, how is Sister Wenxiao?"
Li Chengqian told her about the fact that the old man from Jizhou was still in Cheng Wenxiao's life and had to go back to mourn for three years, and then implicitly mentioned that he would only see Cheng Wenxiao again after three years.
Su Mi was stunned for a moment and asked:
"What should I do if Sister Wenxiao and Your Highness?"
Li Chengqian was slightly moved and said, "I want to go find my mother and make a marriage contract for us. Three years later, Wen Xiao is exactly seventeen years old."
Su Mi always knew about Li Chengqian’s seventeen-year-old love. When she heard this, she was stunned and felt that this arrangement was feasible.
"Then your Highness, go quickly!" Su Mi said, "Sister Wenxiao is going to Jizhou tomorrow."
"I'm here to ask you to go with me." Li Chengqian said, "In this way, the queen will think you are a generous person, and she will like you more in the future."
Su Mi did not expect that Li Chengqian was thinking about her like this. No matter what, Cheng Wenxiao would have to enter the Eastern Palace in the future. If she told the queen, then the queen would think that Su Mi was a person who knew the general and liked her more. Su Mi took the initiative to attack, which would be more conducive to keeping her position.
So she agreed.
The two of them simply cleaned up and went to Hanliang Palace.
"Oh, the old man from Jizhou has passed away." The queen was slightly stunned when she heard Li Chengqian's words.
She sighed, "It's been many years. When Uncle Cheng was about to be stronger than Cheng Zhijie that year, she didn't expect to leave in the blink of an eye."
"Mother, Your Highness has always been interested in Sister Yu Wenxiao, and I like Sister Wenxiao very much. These days, I have been having fun in Xichiyuan. I heard that Sister Wenxiao is going to Jizhou to stay in filial piety for three years, and I am afraid of suffering. Can I make a marriage contract first and then take my sister into the palace three years later?" Su Mi said.
This incident was brought up by Su Mi, which surprised the queen. Then she looked at Li Chengqian and then Su Mi, and soon understood the relationship.
Su Mi must have agreed to recognize Cheng Wenxiao, and asked Su Mi to talk about this matter, Su Mi would not have thought of coming here. This matter was caused by Li Chengqian.
The queen shook her head: "This matter cannot be done."
