Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

When Wang Er and Su Jin came in with blushing faces, everyone had already started discussing the engagement process and what needed to be prepared.

Su Qin and Zhao Liangchen are just pretending to be engaged, but Su Jin and Wang Er are really engaged and will get married, so the procedures have to be more formal.

Wang Er also received some rewards and had a small savings, which was definitely enough to marry an ordinary woman, but it was definitely not enough to marry the daughter of the Shangshu family.

But he couldn't afford any more, and he didn't even have a place to live.

Originally, Su Qin said that she would lend him some money to buy a small house for getting married, but Wang Er said no, he wanted to live in the Su family and get married here. He finally had a home again, and he didn't want to go out and live alone.

This is no different from marrying into the wife's family, except that the surname is not changed.

For the Su family, it would be like getting a son for free, so they would definitely be willing to do it.

Especially Mrs. Su. As a mother, she is afraid that her daughter will not live a good life after marriage. It must be good for her to live under her eyes.

To get engaged, they must exchange engagement letters. There is no one in Wang Er's family, so they certainly don't have this thing. Su Jijing needs to write one for him. Wang Er takes this opportunity to ask Su Jijing to give him a new name. His current name is too casual and does not suit his current status at all.

Su Jijing agreed and thought of a courtesy name for him: Runsheng.

?This name implies the nourishment and thriving growth of life, and is Su Jijing's best wishes for Wang Er's health, happiness and success.

Wang Er liked this name very much, and from then on Wang Er became Wang Runsheng.

While they were discussing heatedly, Zhao Liangchen had already gone to the Wuning Marquis Mansion. This time he did not climb over the wall to get in. Since he was coming to discuss the marriage, he had to go through the door in a more formal way.

Qi Lusheng had just returned and hadn't even had time to eat when he heard Zhao Liangchen coming. He thought Zhao Liangchen was in a hurry, so when he saw Zhao Liangchen, he hurriedly asked, "Why are you here so late? What happened?"

Zhao Liangchen asked directly: "Do you want a wife?"

Qi Lusheng was confused: "Huh?"

Zhao Liangchen: "I'd like to introduce you to a matchmaker, would you like to marry me?"

Qi Lusheng realized what was happening and asked with a smile, "Whose girl is this? She must be a good girl, worthy of your trip so late at night."

Zhao Liangchen: "You've seen her. She's the daughter of the Xu family who came with the Su family—Xu Yunguo."

Qi Lusheng had an impression of Xu Yunguo. "She's an interesting girl, quite lively. But why are you so concerned about this? What happened?"

He knew Zhao Liangchen too well. He was a man of few words and would not mention anything unless it was something important.

If the Xu family was interested in forming a marriage alliance with them, they would have asked a middleman to come and ask formally during the day, and asked his mother, instead of asking Zhao Liangchen to come to him directly in the middle of the night.

Zhao Liangchen then told the emperor about his speculation that the emperor intended to win over the court officials and allow their daughters to enter the palace.

Qi Lusheng was quite angry after hearing this: "What's wrong with this emperor? If he wants to win over the court officials, he should just use them well. Why is he bringing their daughters into the palace? Does he think that entering the palace is a gift?"

Zhao Liangchen: "This is nothing. The emperor has just taken power, he is young and inexperienced, so marrying is the fastest way to win over the court officials.

Let’s not talk about him, let’s just ask whether you are willing to marry me or not.”

The reason why Qi Lusheng had not married at such an old age was not because the Wuning Marquis's family had high standards, but because Wuning Marquis did not want to take sides and was too cautious. He did not dare to marry anyone rashly for fear of being involved in any party disputes.

In addition, he asked Qi Lusheng to act like a dandy, and Qi Lusheng's reputation was not good, so the noble families looked down on him, so it was delayed.

Not only was he delayed, but Qi Jingde was also unengaged and was older than him.

Qi Lusheng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that little girl too young? She looks like a little sister to me, so cheerful and happy.

That day in my village, she was the most active jumper. She was curious about everything she saw and chirped like a little sparrow.

I feel like she hasn't grown up yet. Although our mansion isn't as strict as other aristocratic families, it still has many restrictions. With her personality, wouldn't it be too oppressive for her to marry in? "

Zhao Liangchen: "All the unengaged girls are her age. She is not young anymore. If you want to find someone your age, you have to find someone who is divorced.

As for her temperament, she is not unruly, she is just more cheerful in front of acquaintances.

If she could marry into the Marquis's Mansion, she would definitely abide by all the rules.

In front of outsiders, she will definitely be dignified and virtuous, but privately, do you hope that the woman you will marry in the future will be dignified, virtuous, and sensible?"

Qi Lusheng shook his head: "No, my wife must be more interesting. I love to play so much. If my wife is too dignified, it will be boring."

Zhao Liangchen: "That's it, the Xu family girl is lively and will definitely be able to play with you in private without being too restrained. Wouldn't it be much more interesting for you this way?"

Qi Lusheng stroked his chin and thought, "What you said makes sense. A cute little girl is indeed more interesting than a lady from a wealthy family."

Zhao Liangchen introduced Xu Yunguo to him because he knew that he was not a man who would settle down. With his personality, the ladies in the capital would definitely be willing to marry him because of his family background. Although he has a serious job now, in the eyes of the ladies, he is still a playboy.

If Qi Lusheng married one of those ladies from wealthy families, he would definitely find it boring after a long time, and there would be no deep feelings between the couple.

Xu Yunguo is different. She is lively and smart. She will definitely not think that Qi Lusheng is not doing his job properly. Maybe she will even admire him for what he can do. The two of them will have more common language.

"Since you have no objection to this marriage, I will go and ask the Marquis and his wife for their opinions."

Qi Lusheng smiled and said, "Of course I should ask, but my mother is worried about marriages for my brother and me. If she knew you were the one to introduce me to a partner, she would definitely agree."

He accompanied Zhao Liangchen to meet Marquis Wuning and his wife.

Marquis Wuning and his wife were very surprised to learn that Zhao Liangchen was here to propose marriage to Qi Lusheng.

Zhao Liangchen certainly didn't need to convince them of Qi Lusheng's reasons, but instead told them the benefits of marrying a daughter of the Xu family to the Wuning Marquisate as Su Qin had said.

This reason was exactly what Marquis Wuning wanted. He originally felt that the Marquis' Mansion was already popular enough and there was no need to marry a noble lady to add icing on the cake.

Recently, there has been an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage and asking indirect questions, and he is worried about how to choose.

It’s not good to marry someone too high, and it’s not good to marry someone too low either. I’m afraid that marrying someone too high will arouse the emperor’s suspicion, and I’m also afraid that marrying someone too low will cause someone to take advantage of me.

The Xu family is indeed suitable. Xu Chunshan has already confirmed that his official position will not be too low, and marrying a girl from his family will not lower his status. It is also impossible for the Xu family to suck blood from the Wuning Marquis Mansion.

They are new officials with no foundation, so the emperor will not be on guard.

Moreover, they had all met Xu Yunguo and had a good impression of the lovely girl. She was not timid or rustic like a country girl at all, and she saluted them gracefully when she saw them.

They don't have high requirements for their daughter-in-law, as long as she is kind and compatible with their son.

Since Qi Lusheng had no objection, then they had no objection either.

Therefore, the Wuning Marquisate decided to go to the Xu family to propose marriage tomorrow.

Naturally, the man should come to propose the marriage, and we cannot be impolite just because it is the Xu family who proposed it.
