spend time

Cui Wang was very pleased and said with a smile: "When your marriage is settled, I will also think about getting married."

He is three years older than Cui Du, and he is already eighteen years old this year, but he is still unengaged. This is rare in Daliang nowadays.

His father left him in Nanyang County to assist Cui Du with all his strength. He was well aware of the intention. In the past two years, he had been very good at his job and could be regarded as Cui Du's right-hand man. He would definitely live in Nanyang County for a long time in the future. If he wanted to marry a wife, it would be best if he married a woman from Nanyang County.

Cui Du was immersed in his own joy and did not notice the double entendre of Cui Wang's words.

Cui Wang was busy writing a letter, while Cui Du lay on the bed, his heart was like spring flowers blooming all over the field, how could he fall asleep? He tossed and turned until midnight, and finally he could barely fall asleep.

He had a dream.

In his dream, he returned to the world he had been away from for more than five years.

My parents are still the same as before, accusing and complaining: "I asked you to study finance or management, but you refused. Who will inherit the family company in the future?"

"There's not much future in business, you should go into politics. Agronomy at least has something to do with it. Next year, when you graduate with a doctorate, you can go through talent introduction and join the Ministry of Agricultural Development. After a few years of hard work and some achievements, you can move up step by step..."

"I've told you guys a long time ago that I'm not interested in business or politics. I just like staying in the experimental fields, and cultivating grain is my favorite thing. Besides, agronomy is the foundation of the country and the basis for the survival of the people. It's the most important thing." A long-lost anger surged in his heart. He looked directly at his father who looked shrewd and materialistic, and his mother who looked high and mighty, and said word by word: "I want to be the master of my own life."

The father sneered, "Well, you are a useless piece of shit, and I won't force you to do anything. You should get married soon and have children for our Cui family. I will train my grandson well and he will take over the family business in the future."

On this point, the strong mother and father hit it off immediately: "I have a few suitable candidates here, with good family backgrounds, good looks, and they are all smart and capable. You can go on blind dates starting tomorrow, and you will definitely find someone you like."

"I don't want to go on blind dates. I already have a girl I like." He blurted out, "Her name is Jiang Shaohua. She is the most beautiful, intelligent, calm and capable girl in the world. I want to be her son-in-law!"

Both the father and mother were shocked and immediately became furious: "What son-in-law? What a joke! You are the only heir of the Cui family, how can you marry into the girl's family!"

"It's impossible to marry into the family! Where is that Jiang Shaohua? Bring her here for us to see. If she's barely passable, we'll marry her as our daughter-in-law."

"After you get married, you must give birth to at least two sons, one to inherit the family business, and one to go into politics and take over the connections in the political arena..."

Do not!
I am willing to marry into the family! I want to be Jiang Shaohua's son-in-law, and if I have a child in the future, he will take his biological mother's surname Jiang.

This is my life, I live it the way I want, don't try to influence me!

Cui Du suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and took a few deep breaths. His eyes swept over everything familiar in the room, and his violently beating heart finally relaxed.

It turned out to be just a dream.

Luckily it was just a dream.

"Cousin," Cui Wang smiled as he pushed the door open, "I have already written the letter and sent it out last night. I will get a reply in seven or eight days at most."

Cui Du was completely awake. He smiled at Cui Wang and said, "Thank you, cousin!" He glanced out the window and said, "It's already bright day. The princess must have gotten up long ago. I'll go find her now."

……

A stick of incense later, Cui Du appeared in front of Jiang Shaohua swiftly.

After holding hands last night, the relationship between the two has taken a step further and the distance between them has been greatly shortened. However, they still have to pretend in front of others.

Cui Du bowed as usual, but his eyes were a little more eager when he looked up.

Jiang Shaohua's heart also warmed slightly: "Breakfast is ready, accompany this princess to have breakfast together."

Cui Du happily agreed.

The cooks in the farm had limited cooking skills and could not make a very exquisite breakfast. However, the fruits and vegetables in the farm were picked and eaten right away, which was the best because they were fresh. Jiang Shaohua's appetite had increased slightly recently. Cui Du was also at the age of growing up, and he was busy every day, consuming his physical strength, and his appetite was not small. The two sat opposite each other and ate sweetly.

"Princess, please return to the palace as soon as possible!" Cui Du urged quietly.

Jiang Shaohua glanced at him with a smile: "You always hoped that I would stay at the farm for a few more days, why are you urging me to leave now?"

Cui Du grinned and whispered, "The longer the night, the more dreams there are. The sooner you get engaged, the better."

Jiang Shaohua smiled silently: "This princess has already made a decision and will not change it."

"That's a little early." Cui Du shamelessly urged: "Princess, please return to the palace earlier!"

Jiang Shaohua was so embarrassed by the corny words that she got goosebumps all over her body: "Speak more normally." Do you think you are some kind of witch concubine?

Cui Du laughed happily.

Jiang Shaohua also laughed: "I will go back tomorrow, you should be satisfied!"

Cui Du nodded repeatedly, just like a chick pecking at rice.

Jiang Shaohua thought for a moment and said, "You should also come back to the palace with me to discuss how to arrange the engagement."

Cui Du nodded frantically.

Chen Jinyu, who was waiting outside the door, listened to the laughter coming from the dining room and couldn't help but whisper, "The princess is so decisive and decisive. She decided on her life together just like that."

In her eyes, there was no young man in the world who was worthy of her princess. It was just a matter of recruiting a son-in-law, so Cui Du was barely qualified.

Ma Yaozong laughed softly and said, "I envy Earl Changning for getting his title so early."

Unlike him, he had to wait until he was twenty years old before the beauty agreed to marry him.

Chen Jinyu smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "The Earl of Changning married into the royal family. I will marry into your Ma family in the future. This is of course different. If you are willing to marry into the royal family, you don't have to wait so long."

So, don’t argue with the girl you love, you will lose anyway.

Ma Yaozong touched his nose and shut up.

……

On the afternoon of the second day, Princess Nanyang, who had been on patrol for half a year, finally led everyone back to the Nanyang Palace.

The hardworking Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi led their subordinates to welcome them, and Lu Xuan brought his concubine Mei to welcome them together.

"The Marquis of Changning also came back with the princess." Feng Changshi was very sharp-eyed and nudged Chen Changshi with his elbow.

Chen Changshi's eyes flashed with a knowing smile, and he whispered, "We can start preparing for the princess's engagement."

Getting engaged so early!

Feng Changshi was a little reluctant: "This kid Cui Du is lucky."

As she spoke, the princess had already dismounted. Changning Earl Cui Du also dismounted and followed closely behind the princess.

There is no need to say more. Just looking at Cui Du's shining face and his grinning mouth, you can tell that the wedding is coming. (End of this chapter)
