When Chai Yan came to the front of the hall, Situ Zhou had already greeted him.
Situ Zhou forced a smile on his face and said, "Master Chai, please come inside."
Chai Yan nodded slightly and walked into the hall with Situ Zhou.
"Master Chai, please sit down." Situ Zhou motioned.
Chai Yan did not sit down, but raised his hands to Situ Zhou and said, "Master Situ, I am here to apologize to Master Situ on behalf of Cheng Jiu!"
Situ Zhou slowly shook his head and sighed: "Master Chai, in fact, you can't blame Cheng Jiu for what happened last night. It was all Xiaohuan's girl who made the decision without knowing the importance. I'm already punishing her."
"No, no, Master Situ, it was Cheng Jiu's fault. He should not have agreed! So he should be punished, severely punished!" Chai Yan said seriously.
Situ Zhou glanced at Chai Yan and said, "So Master Chai ordered him to come here bare-chested and carrying a thorn stick to admit his mistake, and then he knelt down for how many hours?"
Chai Yan was immediately surprised: "Master Situ, how do you know this was my order?"
Situ Zhou said: "Cheng Jiuyi came to see me in the morning, but I didn't see him. Then he left, but not long after, he came over bare-chested and carrying thorn sticks. According to my guess, he must be looking for Mr. Chai.
You're the one who gave him advice, right?"
"Master Situ is really wise..." Chai Yan smiled awkwardly, nodded and admitted: "It was indeed my idea for Cheng Jiu to come over and plead guilty. I just hope that Master Situ can calm down.
, and then have a calm chat.”
Situ Zhou was thoughtful and then signaled again: "Master Chai, if you have anything to say, sit down and speak slowly."
Chai Yan then sat down, and Situ Zhou also sat down opposite him.
Chai Yan asked in a calm tone: "Master Situ, you must know everything about Qin Yuan and Cheng Jiu, right?"
Situ Zhou frowned and asked, "Master Chai, what do you want to say?"
Chai Yan looked at Situ Zhou and said very seriously: "Master Situ, I want to be a matchmaker for Cheng Jiu. I hope that Master Situ can betroth the daughter to Cheng Jiu so that they can get married eventually. Don't do anything like beating mandarin ducks.
!”
Situ Zhou was stunned and thought to himself, aren't you here to apologize for your subordinates? Why did you suddenly become a matchmaker and propose a marriage?
"Master Chai, don't you think this is too abrupt?" Situ Zhou asked.
Chai Yan nodded: "Yes, it is indeed a bit abrupt to say this suddenly, but Mr. Situ, your daughter and Cheng Jiu have experienced many things along the way. They are really in love! For your daughter's happiness
,don’t you think about it carefully?”
Situ Zhou said nothing and kept his brows furrowed tightly.
After a while, Chai Yan asked: "Is it possible that Master Situ is rejecting Cheng Jiu as a native of Shiguo?"
"That's not..." Situ Zhou shook his head.
Chai Yan asked again: "Do you think he has studied too little and is not worthy of your daughter?"
Situ Zhou shook his head: "No, he is originally a martial artist. It is normal for him to have few studies. There is nothing surprising. I don't mean to look down on martial arts people..."
Chai Yan thought about it carefully and asked again: "Master Situ, you are worried that Cheng Jiu will not be able to give Miss Situ a stable and happy life in the future because he has no official status, right?"
Situ Zhou did not shake his head this time, but looked directly at Chai Yan and asked: "Master Chai, if you are sincere, if you were me, wouldn't you have such worries?"
Chai Yan nodded without hesitation and replied: "That goes without saying, of course I can!"
When Situ Zhou heard that Chai Yan understood him, his expression became a little better and he said, "Then, Master Chai, if you were me, what should I do now?"
"Master Situ, I understand what you mean. Although Cheng Jiu does not have an official status at the moment, when I return to the capital, I will immediately submit a request to the superiors. First, let Cheng Jiu and others be naturalized as Shengguo people, and then recommend them to join the military.
Desi, become an official official of the imperial court!"
After Chai Yan finished speaking, he looked directly at Situ Zhou and asked, "Master Situ, do you think this is okay?"
Situ Zhou looked serious and asked: "Master Chai, how long will this process take? One year, two years? Three years, five years?"
Chai Yan didn't even think about it and said firmly: "One year is enough!"
Situ Zhou couldn't help but be a little surprised and said: "Master Chai, are you so confident?"
Chai Yan looked confident and said loudly: "Master Situ, I, Chai Yan, still have this little confidence!"
Situ Zhou looked at Chai Yan's face, paused before nodding and said, "Since Mr. Chai said so, I'll wait and see!"
Chai Yan was startled and immediately said: "In other words, as long as Cheng Jiu obtains a formal official status, Mr. Situ, will you agree to marry your daughter to Cheng Jiu?"
Situ Zhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly and replied: "Not bad!"
"That's great!" Chai Yan was immediately overjoyed.
Suddenly, Situ Zhou stood up and walked to the door of the hall, rushing outside and saying: "Come here, go and call Cheng Jiu in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone left.
After waiting for a while, a shirtless Cheng Jiu came to the hall carrying a thorn stick on his back.
As soon as he entered the hall, Cheng Jiu knelt down and loudly confessed his mistake to Situ Zhou. He also took off the thorn stick and held it above his head, hoping that Situ Zhou would use it to beat him as punishment!
Situ Zhou did not go to pick up Jingtiao, but said to Chai Yan: "Master Chai, please tell him what we just said. I am a little anxious, so I will go and relieve myself first..."
After saying that, Situ Zhou walked out of the hall.
Cheng Jiu didn't know what was going on, so he looked at Chai Yan with confusion on his face.
Chai Yan said: "Get up first, I will tell you slowly..."
Cheng Jiu then stood up and looked at Chai Yan seriously.
"It's like this. I just arranged a matchmaker for you. I hope Lord Situ can marry his daughter to you!" Chai Yan said in a very calm tone, as if this was not an important matter.
Cheng Jiu was confused for a moment. He thought that Master Situ and Master Chai had agreed on the content of his punishment during this period...
"Sir, you...why are you...not...did I hear you wrong?" Cheng Jiu looked at Chai Yan in disbelief.
Chai Yan said: "You heard it right! I didn't say it wrong either! And Mr. Situ has agreed..."
"Really?" Cheng Jiu exclaimed in surprise.
"...Don't be too hasty to be happy, there are conditions for this!" Chai Yan had been waiting for him to say this.
Cheng Jiu's smile disappeared immediately, and his face became nervous: "Conditions? What conditions?"
Chai Yan repeated what he had just said. After hearing this, Cheng Jiu felt very grateful. He immediately knelt down on one knee to Chai Yan, clasped his fist hard and said, "Cheng Jiu is willing to follow you wholeheartedly and work like a dog or horse for the rest of your life!"
Chai Yan nodded and suddenly asked seriously: "Aren't you afraid that I am bragging and that a year has passed but I still haven't accomplished anything?"
"Uh..." Cheng Jiu couldn't help but was stunned and couldn't answer the question.
Chai Yan was amused by Cheng Jiu's funny look: "Okay, I scared you, don't worry, if I can't do this, I really don't have to mess around anymore!"
