"How did I not know that I was engaged!" Jun Ci never expected that two pieces of news would come to him, one good and one bad!
The good thing is that she will be an official in the court from now on, and she will be of the third rank, the same rank as her uncle, the Minister of Civil Affairs!
The bad thing was what surprised her. When did she have an engagement? She had never heard of it!
"Aye, aren't you just making this up out of nowhere?" Jun Ci carefully looked at her father, who had a stern face since he came back.
"Do you want to make something out of nothing, or do you want to marry Zhou Lang?" Jun asked with a sly smile.
Jun Ci poked at each other with his two index fingers, lowered his head and muttered: "I don't want either of them!"
She doesn't object to having children, but she has to pass on the heir to her father, right? The Jun family's bloodline will never be cut off from her, otherwise wouldn't she really be inferior to her husband?
But not so early!
"It's not up to you!" Jun Xi glared at his daughter, "Pack it up. Before returning to the court, let's go to Ganling Yingshi."
"Ganling Yingshi!" Jun Ci couldn't help but raise his voice.
The Ying family in Ganling was a large family. His Majesty's founding of the Northern Dynasties was due to the Ying family's assistance. Even the establishment of the prince system in the Northern Dynasty was advocated by the Ying family. After that, the Ying family managed the country and stabilized the country in the Northern Dynasty. The Ying family was deeply rooted in the Northern Dynasty.
Thirty years ago, Queen Ying died in the palace, and the head of the Ying family was killed by his Majesty Emperor Jing at that time. After that, the Ying family withdrew from the court.
Jun Ci couldn't help but think that the decline of the Northern Dynasty began when the Ying family left in anger.
In just thirty years, the Northern Dynasty, which had a century-old foundation, was in turmoil and could not withstand the slightest storm.
The Ying family now does not go to court and does not care about worldly affairs, but no one dares to look down upon her. Even Zhou Rong, who is flamboyant and domineering, still respects the Ying family.
Regarding the Ying family, Zhou Rong was afraid that they would come out to help His Majesty again.
The reason why Jun Ci was shocked was not because of the prominence of the Ying family, but because the Ying family was a model of a wealthy family, and all of them were sons who read a lot of books and had extensive knowledge.
She also has a little bit of ink in her belly, but she can wield swords and guns, and is a master of all kinds of martial arts. She talks about words and etiquette all day long, and she is afraid that she will go crazy and have the intention to kill her husband!
"Other than the Ganling Ying family, who can make the Prime Minister afraid?" Jun Xi said with a stern face.
If it were someone else, as long as Jun Shou dared to speak out, Zhou Rong would dare to kill her and make her a non-engaged person. If she rejects Zhou Chenglue then, Zhou Rong would have an excuse and he would be able to do harm to her openly!
The shame of refusing to marry would prevent others from thinking that Zhou Rong was deliberately targeting His Majesty to embarrass her.
"But...but that's the Ying family." Jun Ciqi said, "Ah, they must be gentle, respectful, thrifty, well-educated, and courteous girls."
Then he pointed at himself: "Aye, do you look like me?"
"You still have some self-awareness. If you know your shortcomings, you should make up for it!" Jun Xu reprimanded.
Jun Ci curled his lips and said: "An inch is good, but a ruler is short. My daughter doesn't realize that she is not good, so she won't change it!"
"You!" Jun said angrily, "That's all, if your father can't teach you well, I'll leave it to your future husband to discipline you!"
"It's not certain who disciplines whom!" Jun Ci muttered.
"What did you say?" Jun Yi didn't understand.
Jun Ci immediately cleared his throat and smiled: "I said Aye, please don't be angry. My daughter will dress up well and accompany Aye to visit Gong Ying and the husband of the Ying family."
It is not easy to start from her father, and Zhou Rong is eyeing her. Now that she has just shown her talents, she is not yet full of wings, so she really needs Ying's cover.
She can only start with the unlucky fiancé her father arranged for her.
When the class teacher returned to the court, there was nothing to do with Jun and his father. Everything was arranged by others. Jun Ci had received a high official and a generous salary, so naturally he wanted to pay his respects to His Majesty.
Yuan You looked at her with a particularly complicated look, with a hint of sadness and a hint of contradictory relief.
We face each other day and night, share weal and woe, and have the grace to save lives. Jun Ci is such an eye-catching girl. To say that Yuan You doesn't have any thoughts is to deceive himself.
However, he was burdened with too much, and Jun Ci should not be someone who was hidden in the palace. He had already made up his mind when he decided to grant her an official position. But when he heard that she was engaged, and that she was the direct son of the master of the Ying family, he felt in his heart
The melancholy and slight tingling still came as expected.
Jun Ci didn't know or explore Yuan You's complex thoughts. She was specially taken around to Ganling by her father when she returned to the court.
The Ying family has been a well-known wealthy family since the Han Dynasty. They occupy five alleys and have large houses surrounded by tall pines rising from the ground!
It is no less majestic and majestic than an imperial palace, but with white walls, black tiles, green pines and green bamboos, it is less luxurious and more elegant.
Following the fifth master of the Ying family all the way from the gate to see the master, Jun Ci passed through the eight gates. The large courtyard and the small courtyard are perfectly connected, with roads extending in all directions, exquisite doors, and maidservants who come and go in a silent and orderly manner.
Showing the majesty and etiquette of this big family!
Jun Ci had no time to appreciate the pavilions and pavilions at each step. Whenever she thought about how she would live in this deep compound in the future, she would take a breath.
When he saw Master Lang, Jun Ci kept pretending to be a quail, and greeted him with a straight look like a piece of wood. He sat down with his back straight and said nothing the whole time.
Seeing that Jun Zu couldn't help but clenched his fists, his hands were a little itchy and he wanted to teach someone a lesson!
Ying Shen knew that he was in the age of destiny and was a wise and understanding person. How could Junci not know her details when she was going to be his daughter-in-law? Seeing her like this, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were filled with a soft smile: "Aci, please don't be cautious. I don't know you today."
To come for a visit, Jiulang and several brothers and sisters went out for an outing. I have sent people to look for them, and they will be back in a short time."
"My daughter and Aye took the liberty!" Jun Ci was extremely polite to his elders.
Ying Shen saw that she was still very restrained, so he added: "It's okay, my family doesn't need to be polite."
Jun Ci could feel that Ying Shen was trying his best to express his kindness to her, but she instinctively resisted such a big family with bells and whistles, and she didn't want to show too much, so she had to smile and lower her head to shy away.
Ying Shen was not embarrassed, and turned around to reminisce with Jun Fu. Jun Ci drank half a cup of tea when he heard an announcement from outside: "Master Lang, the gentlemen have returned. Erlang, Silang, and Jiulang have arrived at the door."
"Let them come in." Ying Shen ordered.
Jun Ci silently murmured in his heart: Look, look, this is a big family, and every son needs to wait before meeting his father, which is even more demanding than the royal family!
Not long after, three young men came in one after another. These three were the biological sons of Master Lang. The one walking in front was dressed in green clothes. He had a sparse face, clear eyebrows, and a goatee. He was already in his thirties.
Then he was dressed in blue, with a handsome face and a calm expression. He was holding a fan in his hand. He was about twenty-three or four.
The last one...
Jun Ci is not a person who cares about looks, but she has never seen such a good-looking man!
He had a jade hairpin tied up in his hair, a wide shirt with big sleeves, and a robe with a wide belt. He came in the light and seemed to be falling from the clouds. His unique and independent aura seemed to make the heaven and earth pure.
The face is like a fine carving, without any flaws; the face is like pearls and jade, with light inside.
The most attractive thing is the pair of deep, vast and quiet eyes!
The top of the mountain is covered with white snow. It looks absolutely clear and turbulent, but it is endlessly cold and lonely. You can only see from a distance but not up close.
After all, looking at white snow for a long time hurts your eyes!
Although the white snow is beautiful, don’t look at it too much. You will become snow blind if you look at it for too long!
This is the kind of person the male protagonist is, hahahahahaha.
