Upon hearing this, Mr. Shi was overjoyed. He said happily, "Your Majesty, please decide when it would be appropriate to marry my daughter to the eldest son of the Sha family."

Wan Lianxing said: "In my opinion, the sooner the better, so that your Hongjiao can give birth to more branches for the Sha family sooner."

"Your Majesty, my daughter's dowry has been prepared and she can get married at any time." Mr. Shi's expression was very obvious. He clearly didn't want to keep his daughter by his side for another day. His expression and words revealed that he wanted to marry his daughter off immediately. After all, his daughter was carrying the stigma of beating men, which was a bad reputation in Chaizhou. He was worried that the longer the night, the more trouble he would have.

Wan Lianxing also hoped to facilitate this good thing as soon as possible, but it was still a little difficult. He said to Master Shi: "Master Shi, the father and son of the Sha family have been fighting on the front line. They have no time to come back to get married."

Mr. Shi said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the eldest son of the Sha family will not be delayed in getting married if he does not come back. We can let my daughter marry him first to serve her mother-in-law and fulfill her filial duty on behalf of Sha Yueteng."

When Wan Lianxing heard this, he realized that Shi Hongjiao was the problem that Master Shi was worried about. He wanted to get rid of the problem immediately, but he was filial and could not reject Master Shi's "good intentions" and could only agree. He looked at Huang Chenming beside him and said, "Mingming, please help me choose an auspicious day."

Just as Huang Chenming was looking for an auspicious date, Cheng Youning in the military camp also received a letter. Qiao Rong said in surprise: "Young Master, this is a chicken feather letter."

When Cheng Youning heard it was a chicken feather letter, he was extremely happy. No one had ever written him a chicken feather letter before. "Open it and see who wrote it."

Qiao Rong obeyed and opened the letter and said, "Young Master, this is a letter from the second son of the Sha family."

"Sha Lao Er? Why did he write to me?"

Qiao Rong said unhappily: "I think he is just idle!"

"What's the matter?" Cheng Youning took the letter and read it. "He wants to ask me for something. I have to help him."

So Cheng Youning secretly came to find Shi Hongjiao. He asked Shi Hongjiao to make an orchid finger gesture, and then he took a pen and started drawing.

"Cheng Youning, are you done? My waist can't hold it anymore."

"That's all, that's all, just hold on for a while."

It took Cheng Youning about a cup of tea to put down his brush. He drew three portraits of Shi Hongjiao in total, and he chose the one he was most satisfied with and examined it carefully.

Shi Hongjiao came over, pounding her aching waist and legs. When she saw it, she was so angry that she almost cried. She said resentfully, "Cheng Youning, you have been painting for more than an hour, my waist and legs are about to break, and you painted me into this horrible look?"

Cheng Youning's next words almost pissed Shi Hongjiao off to death, "Isn't this good-looking? You should just look like this!"

"I look like this? Look at my eyes, they are too small. It's ok to just draw my eyes smaller, but at least you can draw my face smaller!"

Cheng Youning looked at the portrait he had drawn of Shi Hongjiao, and then at Shi Hongjiao himself. He found that Shi Hongjiao did not look like him at all, but he did not want to admit that his drawing was not good, so he said shamelessly: "Big eyes are not good-looking! Small eyes are more energetic! A big face is better, a big face means good fortune!"

At this time, Shi Hongjiao still didn't know what the portrait Cheng Youning made for her was used for. If she knew, she would burst into tears on the spot.

After parting with Shi Hongjiao, Cheng Youning had the portrait delivered to Sha Yuejin in a hurry. When Sha Yuejin saw the portrait, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He ran to his brother and said, "Brother, your fiancée has a round face with a small nose and small eyes. Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

Sha Yueteng opened the portrait and took a look at it, then he crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the fire. The ball of paper instantly burned and turned into ashes.

Sha Yuejin looked at the portrait that had turned into ashes and cried out in regret, "Brother, why did you burn it? Daddy hasn't even seen his good daughter-in-law yet. I heard that the emperor has issued an edict that the eighth day of next month is the day for my sister-in-law to marry. Brother, don't let yourself down. I advise you to take a concubine as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to eat with my sister-in-law's big round face. Brother, look at you, you've been picking and choosing for so many years, and in the end you picked someone like this. I'm so worried for you!"

"The emperor has granted the marriage, so you are not allowed to talk nonsense." Sha Yueteng's face had become extremely ugly.

"Brother, I wish you and sister-in-law a happy and everlasting marriage in advance! Hahahaha!" Sha Yuejin looked gloating, while his brother Sha Yueteng was angry and ignored him.

Within three days, Mr. Shi proposed to leave the military camp. One reason was that he wanted to go home and arrange a marriage for his daughter, and the other was that he wanted a prescription to give plague medicine to the people in the first seven cities.

Over the years, the Shi family has been doing the charitable act of donating small medicines, but the medicine for treating the plague is a little special. Mr. Shi is Wan Lianxing's benefactor, and Wan Lianxing did not hide it and told Mr. Shi about the medicine.

Master Shi had traveled extensively and was well-informed. He was not surprised to hear that the medicine was made from Suidan's urine. He just asked Wan Lianxing, "Your Majesty, this Suidan has a peculiar bloodline. Is he from a minority tribe in the southern Yan Kingdom?"

"Why do you say that?" Wan Lianxing was a little surprised!

"I used to sell tea in the Southern Yan Kingdom. I heard that there is such a tribe in the Southern Yan Kingdom. They have little contact with the outside world, but they have mastered strange skills, and no one can do anything to them. It is said that every time there is a plague in the Southern Yan Kingdom, they use blood as medicine to save the people. I dare to guess that this tribe must come from a foreign country."

"You are the second person who said this, but I don't know the origin of Sui Dan. Anyway, I have raised this guy for more than ten years. Apart from his love of playing with snakes, I don't see anything special about him. If it weren't for the guidance of an expert, I wouldn't know that his blood can be used as medicine to treat plague." Wan Lianxing neither said yes nor no, because he himself didn't know whether Sui Dan was from a foreign country or not.

Mr. Shi said: "Having such a person by the emperor's side will definitely help the emperor solve his problems."

"It is somewhat useful. Since you want to seek medicine for the people in the first seven cities, I will let Sui Dan go back with you. You can let him return to Fengying after the people are used up."

Mr. Shi said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this. If such a person is placed in my house, it will easily cause trouble. If he uses strange magic, it will be a disaster if we are not careful."

Wan Lianxing felt that what Mr. Shi said was a bit exaggerated, but seeing that he was so afraid of Sui Dan, he didn't force him. When Mr. Shi left, Wan Lianxing took away two jars of Sui Dan's urine for him.
