Chapter 469: [Chengfu Funeral]

……

There is really an old man in the Cheng family who has passed away.

The old man is Cheng Sui, the uncle of Cheng Lao, who passed away in Jeju, the hometown of the Cheng family.

Jeju is the Shandong of later generations.

After Cheng Lao's father Cheng Lou passed away, there was only Cheng Sui, a close elder, left in the family. Cheng Lao has always respected Cheng Sui like a father.

Moreover, the Cheng family is also very powerful in Jeju, and its foundation in Jeju is very strong. When Cheng Laoxiang followed Li Shimin out to break into the world, Jeju was his backer. In the years of the Xuanwumen Change, Cheng Laoxiang was uneasy in Chang'an, so he often sent his family to Jeju. Thirteen years ago, when Mrs. Cheng was pregnant with Cheng Wenxiao, Cheng Lao Xiang sent Mrs. Cheng to Jeju to give birth, and let Cheng Wenxiao live in Jeju for three or four years.

Half of Cheng Wenxiao's childhood was spent in Jeju, and Cheng Sui, an uncle, is no different from his grandfather, and he has a very thick relationship with Cheng Wenxiao.

Cheng Sui has no children in his life, and only adopted a few children in the clan, and now that he is dead, as the closest Cheng Lao family, he needs to go all to his funeral. And three years of filial piety is not suitable for Cheng Laoxiang, if he is not in Chang'an for three years, after coming back in those three years, the Cheng family is afraid that it will be unbelievable. So Cheng Lao decided to keep it for three months, and the rest was guarded by his children.

Cheng Wenxiao and Cheng Laosan both grew up in Jeju, so it is most appropriate for the two of them to keep filial piety in Jeju.

Li Chengqian was called aside by Cheng Laoxiang and listened to him say these words. And when it comes to this, I know Cheng Wenxiao's arrangements for the next three years.

He immediately looked a little uncomfortable.

Although the old man of Jeju was not arranged by Cheng Lao. But Cheng Laoxiang obviously intended to use this incident to disassemble Li Chengqian and Cheng Wenxiao.

Just when Li Chengqian was about to lift the table, Cheng Laoxiang continued: "The old man knows that His Royal Highness has taken a fancy to Xiaojiu. Because of this, there were a lot of misunderstandings with the old man. After the misunderstanding, the Cheng family realized that it would be a good story for Xiaojiu to marry His Royal Highness, so the old man agreed to the matter between you and Xiaojiu, and now Xiaojiu is going to Jeju to keep filial piety for three years, His Royal Highness can first make a marriage contract with Xiaojiu, and then marry Xiaojiu into the palace after three years. ”

Li Chengqian couldn't lift the table, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the news he had been looking forward to, and then asked in disbelief: "You...... Is that true? ”

Cheng Lao Xiang nodded. said: "That's right, I thought when His Highness would send the wine back to the house, and tell His Highness." I didn't come up with this thing, so I had to come up with this strategy! ”

Li Chengqian was pleasantly surprised, and then his mind was racing fast, he stood up, arched his hand to Cheng Lao, and said, "Chengqian has seen his father-in-law!" ”

"Uh, hehe......" Cheng Lao didn't expect Li Chengqian to call so soon. He hurriedly stood up and helped Li Chengqian up.

Li Chengqian asked, "I don't know my father-in-law, when are you going to Jeju?" ”

"Tomorrow." Cheng Lao said.

I'm leaving tomorrow and should be on my way early. Then within today, the marriage contract with Cheng Wenxiao must be given.

"Cheng Qian, go back to the palace." Li Chengqian said.

With that, he walked out.

I went to find Cheng Wenxiao. She was crying in her room with her mother in her arms, and it seemed that her relationship with her uncle was still very deep.

After Li Chengqian went in. Gently patting her on the back, she looked up with red eyes. Cheng's mother was hugged by Cheng Wenxiao just now. She buried her head in her lap and cried, and her pants were wet from crying. She stood up at this time and wanted to go out and give Li Chengqian and the two of them a two-person world.

"Auntie doesn't have to go, I'm going back to the palace after I say something." Li Chengqian stopped her, then looked at Cheng Wenxiao and said, "I'll go back to the palace first, there is something wrong." ”

Although Cheng Wenxiao is sad, she is a sensible girl, and she doesn't feel that she is sad, and her boyfriend has to be by her side. He is the crown prince, there must be something for him to deal with, and he will leave at this time.

"Well, I'm fine, you go!" Cheng Wenxiao wiped her tears and said.

Li Chengqian didn't explain to her what was going on, waved his hand to her, and walked out.

Hurriedly came to the palace, and Li Chengqian was the first to find Su Mi.

Su Mi was originally with Cheng Wenxiao before, but suddenly a eunuch ran in and said that something had happened to the Cheng family and the old man of Jeju had passed away, so she hurriedly went back, but Su Mi was worried about her in the palace.

Now that Li Chengqian is back, she hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, how is Sister Wenxiao?" ”

Li Chengqian told her about the old man in Jeju who was still in Cheng Wenxiao and was going back to keep filial piety for three years, and then implicitly mentioned that he could only see Cheng Wenxiao again after three years.

Su Mi was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What about Sister Wenxiao and Her Highness?"

Li Chengqian was slightly moved in his heart and said: "I'm going to find my mother and make a marriage contract for us, and Wenxiao will be seventeen years old in three years." ”

Su Mi has always known about Li Chengqian's seventeen-year-old relationship, and when she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and felt that this arrangement was feasible.

"Then Your Highness, go quickly!" Su Mi said, "Sister Wenxiao is going to Jeju tomorrow. ”

"I'm here to ask you to come with me." Li Chengqian said, "In this way, the queen mother will think that you are a generous person, and she will like you more in the future." ”

Su Mi didn't expect Li Chengqian to think about her like this, no matter what, Cheng Wenxiao would enter the East Palace in the future, and if she went to tell the queen, then the queen would think that Su Mi was a person who knew the general and liked her more. And Su Mi taking the initiative to attack can also be more conducive to keeping his position.

So she agreed.

The two of them simply cleaned up and went to the Hanliang Palace.

"Oh, the old man from Jeju has passed away." After the queen heard Li Chengqian's words, she was slightly stunned.

She sighed: "It's been many years, when I came to Uncle Cheng that year, my body was even stronger than Cheng Zhijie, but I didn't expect to leave in such a blink of an eye." ”

"Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness has always been interested in Sister Wenxiao, and the concubine also likes Sister Wenxiao very much, these days in Xichi Courtyard is even more happy, I heard that Sister Wenxiao is going to Jeju to keep filial piety for three years, the concubine is afraid of suffering Sister Wenxiao, can you make a marriage contract first, and then take your sister into the palace after three years?" Su Mi said.

This matter was proposed by Su Mi, but it surprised the queen, and then she looked at Li Chengqian, and then at Su Mi, and soon understood the relationship inside.

Su Mi must have agreed to approve Cheng Wenxiao, and let Su Mi talk about it, Su Mi himself would not have thought of coming here, this matter was stabbed by Li Chengqian.

The queen shook her head: "This matter is not good. ”
