Chapter 544: Missing You
Any questions? Of course I do!
The Jia family needs to take this Geng Tie back and offer it in front of their ancestors for 49 days. Why are you, the emperor, taking it?
Although this is indeed unreasonable, but since the emperor has spoken, even the unreasonableness has to be reasonable. Although this is indeed problematic, but since the emperor wants to do it, even the problems have to be solved.
Immortal Dahuan pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the marriage between the Champion Marquis and the Lin and Xue families was arranged by Your Majesty, so it is naturally tainted with heaven's will! Therefore, divination is a matter of prying into the secrets of heaven. My cultivation is still shallow, so after I obtain the Engagement Letter, I will use the dragon energy of the Emperor and Your Majesty to deduce and divine in the palace. Moreover, I need the handwritten Engagement Letter to assist me!"
"This way, we can ensure that there are no omissions!"
"After I have finished my divination, I will return the engagement letter to the Jia family and ask about my ancestors. I hope Your Majesty will grant my consent!"
This immortal Dahuan is indeed a god-like figure... He came up with such a good idea, and it also showed the emperor's grace so much that the Jia family had nothing to say.
"Good, good!" As expected, Emperor Longxing nodded with satisfaction. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, old immortal, to take care of this matter."
"This is my job!"
Afterwards, the two of them left the Dragon Head Palace to prepare. Since this matter of asking for the name did not require anyone from the Jia Mansion to go with them, there was no need to go to the Jia Mansion in advance.
After leaving the hall, Zhang Jizong asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother Dao, it's just a matter of deducing fate, there's no need to pry into the secrets of heaven!"
The Great Illusion Immortal smiled slightly, "Daoyou, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed..."
Zhang Jizong's face darkened when he heard this. "Our ancestors used to do this, and you're trying to do this to me..."
The next day, a long procession set out directly from the palace, and then split into two groups and headed straight for the Lin Mansion and the Xue Family!
Wang Ziteng naturally did not go on a business trip today, but instead went to the Xue family early in the morning to wait for the marriage envoy to arrive. In the backyard, Aunt Xue personally wrote Baochai's engagement letter and meticulously wrapped it in layers of red silk.
She was naturally familiar with this matter. After all, not long ago, the Xia family's engagement letter was also delivered to the Xue family, and was also placed before the Xue family's ancestors to ask for their approval.
Although it was already the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Baochai stayed at home and did not go to the Jia Mansion because she had to pay her respects to the deceased. Baoqin naturally stayed at home with her.
"Sister, when do you think my brother will be back?" Baoqin was playing with a palm-sized lacquer box in her hands. This was the New Year's gift that Jia Cong had sent home a few days ago. He not only brought letters to everyone, but also small gifts. Baoqin was obviously very fond of this exquisite lacquer box.
Baochai's eyes showed longing. She really wanted to write a letter to Jia Cong, but was afraid of disturbing Jia Cong's mood. Therefore, endless longing was suppressed in her heart. She didn't know how many times she had read the letter Jia Cong wrote to her, and it was the only way to ease her longing for him.
"Brother Cong is fighting for the country. He will naturally come back when Sichuan and Shu are stable." Baochai said softly.
"Of course I know that, but it's been too long!" Baoqin said with a pout.
Baochai's eyes were filled with tears. Yes... it had been too long, so long... she was almost sick with longing!
"Miss, the wedding procession has arrived. Uncle Wang is in the front to support them, and the missus has also gone over with the engagement letter." Ying'er ran back happily to report the news.
…
"Miss, I saw that the wedding envoys brought a lot of gifts. Aunt Zhou said it was the thirty-six-rank gift..." Xiao Xueyan walked into the house excitedly and told Daiyu and Zijuan about the scene in the front yard.
"Before, the betrothal ceremony was a royal special permission and exceeded the rules. Of course, asking for the name can't be bad either." Zijuan stepped forward and said.
Although Daiyu seemed to be drinking tea, her eyes kept glancing towards the door from time to time, and she was obviously very curious about the scene in front of her.
"Third Master cares so much about our daughter that he traveled thousands of miles to send her Shu brocade, which is obviously embroidered by the best embroiderer. Even we both received New Year gifts. Isn't this just how our daughter looks respectably in front of Third Master? Although this etiquette of asking for her name is unimportant and Third Master is not here, how could Third Master let our daughter suffer any injustice?"
As a witness to Cong and Dai's journey, Zijuan now feels extremely accomplished.
"You are the only one who talks too much!" Daiyu glared at Zijuan shyly.
"Miss, last night, I heard you calling 'Third Brother' in your dream. Moreover, I saw you secretly writing a letter. It must be to the Third Master, right?" Zijuan said with a smile.
"Who called out? You must have misheard!" Daiyu was furious. "Why don't you go and prepare some tea? When the messenger leaves, we'll go serve it to Daddy."
"Students respectfully send off Duke Yansheng!" Outside the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai did not return to his room until all the ceremonial processions had disappeared.
"Daddy, please have some tea!" Daiyu, who had already received the news, had already led Zijuan and the other two to the hall.
After Lin Ruhai sat down, Daiyu winked at Zijuan, who had no choice but to step forward and ask, "Master, did the marriage envoy say anything?"
Lin Ruhai certainly knew that this was what his daughter wanted to ask. After all, Zijuan always knew the rules, and how could she talk nonsense without anyone's "instructions"?
"It's just the Engagement Letter, what can I say?" Lin Ruhai said, "However, because we need to go back and pay respects to our ancestors, the betrothal payment will be made after two months at the shortest and three months at the longest."
"Did the old immortal who came with us tell us anything about fortune-telling?" Zijuan asked again, "If the fortune-telling says it's auspicious, that would be great, but if..."
"Hahaha!" Lin Ruhai saw his daughter's little trick, but he couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry , even though the Great Illusionary Immortal only took a quick look, he has already determined that it is a good omen. It's just that he still needs to make some careful calculations."
Of course, the Great Illusion Immortal would not say such a thing, but things have come to this point. Would the Great Illusion Immortal dare to deduce a bad omen? Even if it is really bad, he will directly come up with a "defy the will of heaven and change the fate"!
Daiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She didn't want anything to happen between her and her third brother. Now, since the Great Illusionary said it was great, then of course it was a good thing.
…
"Shall we go to the Jia Mansion?" Kong Hongtai said after he and the Great Huan Immortal left the Lin Mansion.
However, the Great Illusion Immortal smiled lightly, "There is one more matter that I need to trouble Lord Yansheng with!"
"Why be so polite, old immortal? Just tell me!"
The Immortal Great Illusion smiled and recounted the story of taking the engagement letter to the palace and using the dragon energy to deduce the divination. "So, I, the old Taoist, dare not delay. I must immediately enter the palace to see the emperor and perform the ritual. As for the Jia Mansion, I will have to trouble Lord Yansheng to go there."
