Chapter 146 Engagement
There are many considerations for marriage between officials and aristocratic families, and most of them are beneficial.
However, Sun Hechuan was an honest man and disdained this. In addition, she only has an only daughter, so she doesn't want to use her marriage as a quarrel. She only hopes that she can marry a good husband and live a happy life.
Although Yu Yuan was an idle and dandy prince, he had a decent character and good looks, and he was tolerant towards Sun Yijun. Coupled with the friendship the two have grown up with since childhood, it was a perfect choice to be their husband.
Does he mean it? Could he be unintentional?
When things got to this point, Sun Yijun had been greatly humiliated. If he refuses to marry again, then Sun Yijun may be really embarrassed and have to go to the temple to become an aunt.
have to! No matter how hard you grit your teeth, you can't marry anyone. At least he and Sun Yijun have the same temperament, and she is much more pleasing to the eye than other ladies.
Yu Yuan took a deep breath, glanced at the blushing Sun Yijun, bowed his hands and said, "Uncle Sun, I sincerely want to marry Yijun, and I hope you will agree."
"To show my sincerity, I would like to give the royal robe to Yijun as a proof."
Yu Yuan said, taking off his famous pendant from his waist and holding it in front of Sun Yijun with both hands.
Sun Yijun stared at the famous pendant, his pretty face blushing like the sunset.
She was no stranger to this jade pendant. When she was a child, she made a bet with Yu Yuan and Yu Yuan once lost the jade pendant to her.
At that time, she was happy with the jade pendant she won, but when her parents found out, they choked on their drinks and hurriedly took her to Prince Rong's Mansion to return it.
She was very reluctant and cried loudly in Prince Rong's Mansion. Princess Rong brought many things in exchange for her before she returned them to Yu Yuan.
Because of this, Yu Yuan was severely beaten by King Rong, and he no longer dared to bet on the jade pendant.
"Yijun, take it quickly." Yu Lan reminded softly.
Jiang Shu turned to look at Sun Yijun and saw that the usually cheerful and carefree girl was shy and nervous at the moment. Previously, she was complaining that none of the young masters in Beijing could catch her eye, but now her heart and eyes were all focused on Yu Yuan, so she knew she already had someone in her heart.
Because he belongs to someone, he finds it hard for others to look at him.
Seeing that Sun Yijun didn't answer for a long time, Yu Yuan's hand holding the famous pendant trembled slightly, and his throat rolled a few times almost imperceptibly.
She won't want it, right? It would be a huge loss, and he would be the laughing stock in Beijing tomorrow.
Just when Yu Yuan was feeling uneasy, Sun Yijun reached out and took away the famous pendant from Yu Yuan's palm.
"Hahaha... Brother Hechuan, we will be in-laws from now on." King Rong patted Sun Hechuan on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
Sun Hechuan breathed a sigh of relief, with a joyful smile on his face.
Someone among the guests was missing, and the Sun family was gone.
"Congratulations to Mr. Sun, and congratulations to Brother Wang Shuyuan." Yu Cheng congratulated heartily.
Yu Cheng didn't care who Sun Yijun married. In his view, there is no partisanship among courtiers, only loyalties and traitors.
With Yu Cheng taking the lead, others also held their hands in congratulations. Sun Hechuan and King Rong responded with smiles, and the atmosphere returned to liveliness and harmony.
"Thank you very much. We should go to Prince Rong's Mansion for a wedding banquet next time." Prince Rong smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his teeth.
Sun Hechuan was unconvinced and said: "I have just finished my horoscope. Today is my daughter's birthday party and I haven't finished the wine yet."
"It's easy to talk, it's a big day today, let's have a good time..."
The front yard is a place for male guests, so it is inconvenient for female relatives to stay for a long time. Mrs. Sun wiped the moisture from her eyes and pulled Sun Yijun back to the backyard with a smile on her face.
Jiang Shu and Yu Lan looked at each other and followed with a smile.
Yu Yuan looked at Sun Yijun's back and understood that today was not a good opportunity to talk, so he could only suppress the thousands of words in his heart and talk about it another day.
"Come on, play two games with me." Yu Cheng hugged Yu Yuan and walked towards the chessboard placed in the hall.
Yu Yuan withdrew his thoughts and concentrated on playing chess with Yu Cheng.
All the young masters knew that Yu Cheng was a superb chess player, but Yu Yuan was a bad chess player, so they all followed him to watch the fun.
Mrs. Sun brought the happy news of her engagement to Prince Rong's Mansion back to the backyard, which made all the ladies feel sorry for them, and then they congratulated her with a smile.
Sun Yijun was once again surrounded by ladies and gentlemen, and they were making fun of each other.
Although Yu Yuan is a dandy, he does not hold any official position. But he is the prince of the royal family, handsome and suave, and a good husband.
Princess Rong took out a jade bracelet that was all green and shiny from her wrist and put it on Sun Yijun's wrist.
"Good boy, I have always wanted you to be my daughter-in-law, and today I got my wish."
When Sun Yijun heard this, he lowered his head in shame.
No matter how outgoing she is, she is still a young girl and will be embarrassed.
Yu Lan looked at the pretty Sun Yijun, an envious smile appeared on her beautiful and elegant face.
"Yijun is so happy."
In this world, there are many men and women who grow up as childhood sweethearts, but there are very few people who agree with each other and get married. Sun Yijun is undoubtedly lucky.
Jiang Shu was also sincerely happy for Sun Yijun, but when she turned her head, she saw sadness and regret in Yu Lan's eyes.
Yu Lan is really pitiful.
Although she was a princess and loved by the imperial concubine, she had been married to General Pingxi for only a year or two before General Zhuang died in battle, leaving her as a widow with her young son.
Yu Lan is twenty-seven years old this year and has spent a woman's best years in widowhood.
She enjoyed great honor, but also endured unspeakable pain.
Jiang Shu looked at Yu Lan who looked melancholy and didn't know what to say. He could only hold her hand gently to express relief.
"What's wrong?" Yu Lan's eyes flashed, he suppressed the overflowing emotions and returned to normal.
Jiang Shu did not expose her and said warmly: "I also envy Yijun."
"You will definitely meet your rightful husband." Yu Lan smiled with a profound meaning.
Jiang Shu's face heated up and he thought of Yu Zheng.
Yu Lan and Yu Zheng are biological siblings. I wonder if Yu Zheng told Yu Lan about their relationship?
Jiang Shu felt guilty and avoided Yu Lan's sight.
The Sun Mansion was even more happy today. A lot of fine wine was served at the dinner, and even the ladies and ladies drank a lot. The guests and hosts had a great time at the end of the banquet.
Yu Lan was a little drunk, so Jiang Shu put her on the carriage and asked her maid to take good care of her.
"Girl, let's go back quickly." Chu Yu glanced at the sky and saw that the bright moon was almost on the branches.
"Yeah." Jiang Shu responded, got in the car and went home.
There was still a din of people as the carriage drove down Main Street. When he turned into the side street near Jiang's house, there was no one coming and going, and it was quiet.
Jiang Shu drank wine and felt a little dizzy. He leaned against the car wall and took a nap.
The coachman looked at the familiar road, thinking that he would soon reach Jiang's house where he could have a rest. He relaxed and yawned.
A drunken gangster jumped out of nowhere and was knocked to the ground by a moving carriage.
"Hey!" The coachman was frightened and quickly stopped the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yu asked through the car door.
The driver panicked and said, "I accidentally hit someone. I'll go down and have a look."
Jiang Shu was shaken awake in the car and was about to ask when he suddenly heard a scream.
Chu Yu hurriedly opened the door and saw the coachman lying on the ground under the bright moonlight. But the drunk man who was knocked down slowly stood up.
Not only that, several more people came out of the alley next to them, approaching the carriage with grinning faces.
Chu Yu felt a cold air rushing from the soles of her feet to her forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, there is a bad guy! Get out of the car and run."
