When revealing Yan Ling's identity, Xu Huan once had a conversation with his daughter.
The content is roughly that he originally planned to keep his eldest daughter as a husband, and then find a suitable marriage for his second daughter, and the Zhaoguo Duke's Palace was one of his targets.
But after what happened with Fang Yi, Xu Yin asked herself to stay at home on behalf of her sister, so it was impossible for her to discuss marriage with the Duke of Zhao. Because a wealthy family like the Yan family would never ask a legitimate son to marry into the family.
In fact, Xu Huan said these words just to tease his daughter. He is not a person who is obsessed with continuing the family line. Otherwise, he would not have been single after the death of his first wife, and would not even have the idea of having more concubines.
If he doesn't even care about his son, why would he care about passing on the family business to his surname? As long as his daughter can live a good life, he can leave it to anyone.
Knowing that Young Master Yan was interested in Xu Yin, he had the intention of testing him. Seeing that he followed him to Yongcheng without any regrets and clearly made great efforts in the assassination, but had no idea of taking credit, Xu Huan felt relieved.
It is not easy to find a man who is not afraid of her and truly loves her when her daughter is so vicious and far from being virtuous and kind. Not only is this second young master Yan not afraid, but he also obeys his orders and helps kill people. Where can I find such a good partner?
It just so happens that Mr. Yan comes to visit, let's check his secret. If it succeeds, there is no harm in surrendering to Mr. Zhao now.
He is only in his early forties. Before he was poisoned, he had always been in good health. If he takes good care of himself, it will not be a problem to live for another ten or twenty years. With him guarding Chu, Duke Zhao must be able to rest assured that in ten or twenty years, the world will
The situation may have changed drastically. Then the family fortune he worked hard for will be regarded as his daughter's dowry.
Xu Huan had a good idea, but he didn't want Young Master Yan to just ignore this problem and waste all his efforts.
Ji Jing said: "If you are really satisfied, sir, why don't you tell the truth to Prince Yan? With Yongcheng, as long as we plan well, Chu will be conquered sooner or later. I don't believe that Duke Zhao will not be tempted by such a dowry."
Xu Huan chuckled and refused.
"I chose Young Master Yan because I like him as a person. If we want to talk about marriage, I naturally hope that the Yan family will like my daughter. How can I impress them with a dowry? Is my daughter not good enough and she will be rejected by them?"
Ji Jing laughed dryly and thought to himself, I don't know who it was. After receiving the good news letter, he laughed first, then sighed to him behind his back and said: How can A Yin marry with this temper in the future?
Of course, the master's face still needs to be saved, so he won't talk about it.
"Sir, there is no need to give up too early. After all, it is only Crown Prince Yan who refuses. It is not certain what Duke Zhao Guo thinks!"
Xu Huan shook his head: "Forget it, A Yin hasn't reached hairpin yet, let's take a look again."
The son refused and went to talk to me again? This would be too humiliating. Governor Xu was unhappy and said he didn't want to do it.
Seeing him like this, Ji Jing could only hold back.
The two talked about some more things, and then Ji Jing resigned and left to rest.
…
Wei Jun was still awake and was accompanying Xu Yin to check his luggage.
They brought back a lot of things from Yongcheng. Among them were many treasures collected by Wu Zijing, and they had to make a list of them one by one.
Seeing the third watch, Xu Yin felt tired, closed the book and said, "That's it for today, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Wei Jun agreed and continued to look around.
Xu Yin was surprised: "What are you looking for? You haven't stopped just now."
Wei Jun straightened up, his brows still furrowed, with a puzzled look on his face: "Miss Third, is that marriage certificate where you are?"
"What?"
"It's just a blank marriage certificate signed by the adults, used to deceive Wu Zijing."
Xu Yin shook his head: "It should have been left at the assassination scene, right? I didn't care about it after that."
Wei Jun scratched his head: "That's strange, why is it missing?"
"Didn't you bring it back?"
Wei Jun picked up a brochure and said: "No way, this is the grain household brochure that I brought with me. It has been put away. Logically speaking, it should be put together."
"If it's not there, then it's not there," Xu Yin said indifferently, "That thing was meant to deceive Wu Zijing, and it's useless now."
Wei Jun was anxious: "How can the third lady say that? There is an adult's autograph on it! If someone picks it up and fills it up, will we recognize the marriage or not?"
"Of course I don't admit it." Xu Yin replied, "A marriage is called a marriage if it is agreed upon by both parties. The marriage document is just a dead thing. How can it be that a dead thing determines one's life?"
Wei Jun said: "Third Miss, what you say is certainly reasonable, but not everyone is reasonable! What if you deny it and the other party has the marriage certificate in hand and accuses you of betrayal? Wouldn't it ruin our Nanyuan's reputation?"
Xu Yin looked at him strangely: "Are you stupid? Suppose there is such a person. If he wants to ask us to confirm our marriage, he has to come to our door, right? If we arrest him and take the marriage certificate, who will know? We want to publicize it.
, I told him not to get out of this door!"
"..." Wei Jun was stunned by what she said and was speechless.
He was indeed stupid. He thought of others as villains, but he thought that he was a gentleman. He also didn't think about it. If he dared to deceive Wu Zijing's third lady with a marriage certificate, would he be a gentleman?
Okay, since the third lady doesn't care, then don't care.
"Go back and rest. I think you are too busy. Take a nap and wake up." Xu Yin said and went out.
Wei Jun responded dumbly, asked someone to tidy up, locked the warehouse, and then went back.
On the way, he met Yanji who came out to get some sobering soup and asked casually. As expected, Yanji didn't know either.
That's all, it's most likely lost. The place was so chaotic that night, so it's not surprising that it was lost. Even if it was really picked up, there wouldn't be many people who would dare to pretend to identify it, right?
…
Yan Ji came back with the sobering soup and saw his young master sitting under the lamp, and quickly stuffed something into the drawer.
He asked curiously: "Sir, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just reading a book." Yan Ling pretended to flip through the book a few times.
Yan Ji took a look at it and saw that it was a Three-Character Classic. He didn't know what it was worth. He pretended not to know and handed over the hangover soup: "Drink this first to avoid a headache tomorrow."
Yan Ling felt that she didn't drink much tonight, but she wanted to get rid of Yan Ji quickly, so she stopped talking and drank it in a few sips.
"Well, I'm done drinking. I want to rest, so you can go to bed too."
"Oh." Yanji moved the bedding.
Yan Ling immediately said: "Don't we still have a room? You have been working hard these days, so have a good rest today!"
Yan Ji looked at him and blinked, but without saying anything, he packed up his clothes and went out.
"Then I'm going to bed. Master, go to bed early."
"I know, I know, go quickly." Yan Ling waved her hand like a fly.
Yanji went out.
Yan Ling took out the kit from the drawer, and it still had the sweet fragrance of gardenias on it.
He looked at it for a while, then reached into his arms and touched for a long time, and took out a post. It was the marriage certificate that Wei Jun could not find.
"Hehe." Looking at the words above, Mr. Yan leaned on the table and couldn't help laughing.
