In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1100 - 1094: Feeling Shy

Chapter 1100: Chapter 1094: Feeling Shy

"Feng Gui Ren’s visit did not attract the attention of others, as everybody’s eyes were focused on Liu Jieyu."

"Stacks of tonics and rewards were piled up in Shuiyan Park, and the number of palace maids and eunuchs serving her had doubled in accordance with Jieyu’s status."

"Even the Empress sent people to inquire about her well-being several times, fearful of neglecting her, which illustrates the height of her royal favor."

"Liu Jieyu, with her usual flair for the dramatic, used the excuse of pregnancy to worsen her appetite and had His Majesty find several head chefs to enter the palace just so she could eat a little more!"

"The rumors spreading among the common people that His Majesty was ill quickly changed, and now there were discussions everywhere about whether the ’dragon spawn’ in Liu Jieyu’s womb would be a princess or a prince. Some even set up betting pools on this matter, eagerly raking in money."

"As time inadvertently slipped away, by the end of the year, Qin Yi dealt with those who needed to be killed or beheaded, those whose families needed to be confiscated to enrich the national treasury, and those who had to be wiped out without mercy; he finally had a moment of peace."

"At this time, Qin Shuan’er also finished her period of mourning and began to move about, and Su Pan’er could not wait to choose a marriage for her."

"’It is Zhang Quanliang’s second son, Zhang Zhongding, nineteen this year. He has been assisting his cousin in defending Hezhong City and has just returned to the Capital City. I happened to see him in person when he visited His Majesty a few days ago. The lad has spirit and looked exceptionally vibrant. I also took the trouble to inquire about him.’"

"’The Zhang Family is a family of warriors, whose members have been martial artists for generations. With Zhang Quanliang, there were only two sons. The elder one holds the position of provincial governor in Jinzhou and is not in the Capital City. If you marry into their family, you won’t have a mother-in-law to control you, no younger siblings to burden you, and with the Zhang family being simple in numbers, this was what prompted me to consider them.’"

"Su Pan’er examined Qin Shuan’er’s blushing face and analyzed for her, ’The main thing is that the young man is not some pale scholarly type. Although the third auntie does not know your own preferences in men, I think Zhang Zhongding looks quite promising. It all depends on your own will, after all, you’re the one who has to spend a lifetime with him.’"

"Zhang Quanliang owed His Majesty two life-saving debts, which enabled him to rise to the position of Commanding Officer of the Imperial Guard."

"And this Zhang Zhongding inherited quite a bit of his father’s flair, instantly catching the frantic Su Pan’er’s eye!"

"Keep in mind, although she had been choosing from the scions of aristocratic families in the Capital City in the past, those young men were elegant and shining; few had the bearing of Zhang Zhongding."

"After hesitating for a while, Qin Shuan’er asked in a low voice, ’Third auntie, you say all this is for Shuang’er’s good, and Shuang’er understands. But, Shuang’er doesn’t want to marry yet; Shuang’er wants to stay in the palace longer to keep you and the First Princess company.’"

"’Keep company, indeed!’"

"Su Pan’er laughed as she held her hand, ’Staying in the palace to keep us company is fine, but even after you’ve decided on someone, with the Three Letters and Six Etiquette yet to pass, it will probably be another year or so. By that time, even if the third auntie wants to keep you here, it would be impossible!’"

"The Three Letters and Six Etiquette refer to the letter of betrothal, the gift letter, and the letter of welcoming the bride. The Six Rites include six steps: the proposal, asking the name, the auspicious engagement date, formally requesting the marriage, setting the wedding date, and the wedding ceremony."

"The letter of betrothal is the letter for setting the engagement, made between the man and woman during the engagement ceremony. The gift letter is the list of gifts that details the types and quantities of gifts, used during the ceremony of sending gifts. The letter of welcoming the bride is the letter for marrying the bride, used when bringing the bride over on the wedding day."

"In the past, getting married in the countryside naturally did not need so many cumbersome procedures, but times have changed, and now their status is different, so things cannot be dealt with hastily."

"’Third auntie...’"

"Qin Shuan’er tugged reluctantly at the hem of Su Pan’er’s clothes, amusing Su Pan’er."

"’What the third auntie didn’t tell you is that I picked Zhang Zhongding for you because the Zhang Family has a rule that men can only take a concubine after the age of forty if they have no sons. Therefore, there are not many offspring in the Zhang Family, which is why the Zhang Family’s reputation is not prominent in the court. With this rule, if our Shuang’er marries into the Zhang Family, she’ll have fallen into a nest of fortune.’"

Isn’t this a nest of good fortune!

Men of the Zhang Family generally do not take concubines, and even if they have no children, they must wait until the age of forty before they can take a concubine. This also shows that once Qin Shuan’er marries into the Zhang Family, she won’t have to deal with any of those annoying women or so-called adjoining room maidservants, let alone concern herself with petty concubines. Such good fortune is really quite rare in the current state of Great Zhou.

Qin Shuan’er’s eyes suddenly lit up!

Clearly, she too had taken a fancy to the Second Son of the Zhang Family.

"Whether you’re satisfied or not, tell third auntie. Once you’ve made a decision, I can discuss it with your mother."

In this day and age, it is not customary for the woman’s side to initiate a marriage proposal, but if Shuang’er was pleased, she could then take the next steps, preferably prompting the Zhang Family to come forward with a proposal themselves. This would also prevent breaking any rules.

"Third auntie, Shuang’er, I..."

Qin Shuan’er’s face turned red, and she stammered without being able to articulate a reason.

Under Su Pan’er’s insistent gaze, she suddenly covered her face in embarrassment, "Third auntie, you’re so mean. Shuang’er, Shuang’er doesn’t want to hear these things..."

Having said that, she stamped her foot, clenched her teeth, and ran out of Huayang Palace without looking back.

"Hey! This little girl is even shy in front of third auntie."

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but laugh.

From Qin Shuan’er’s earlier demeanor, it seemed she really did hold some affection for that Zhang Zhongding!

She planned to give Qin Yi a tip-off. After all, it wouldn’t do for a young lady to be making a fuss about wanting to get married herself.

Having found a suitable candidate, Su Pan’er also summoned Qin Yueshi to the palace and revealed the prospect to her. Qin Yueshi had been exceptionally spirited lately and was overjoyed upon hearing the news, thanking her profusely.

"The candidate you’ve found could certainly not be wrong, third brother’s wife! Especially from a family like the Zhang Family, which abides by such ancestral teachings and rules, is truly remarkable! If Shuang’er were to marry into their family, imagine how comfortable her life would be! All of this would be thanks to you, third brother’s wife."

"How comfortable it will be still depends on how the child herself leads her life."

Su Pan’er looked at Qin Yueshi with an expression that held a deeper meaning, "Look at you, beaming with joy. Could it be you’ve chanced upon gold on your way here?"

"Hehe, finding gold would be foolish by comparison. This is even more gratifying than stumbling upon gold!"

Qin Yueshi really was happy!

It must be said that since she had married into the Qin Family, she had always felt oppressed by several burdens. Mrs. Qin-Li was someone who didn’t think before speaking, and Qin Yueshi hadn’t been spared from her sharp tongue. With the Second younger sister stirring up trouble in the middle, and Qin Yu being such an honest and simple man, she had had a rough time over the years. Even after arriving at the Capital City, the Qin Family’s scandals hadn’t ceased to disgust her. It wasn’t until Qin Hao’s death that the Qin Family finally split up.

With the family divided, the good Qin Family’s Mansion was split into east and west mansions, with each eating their own meals and not interfering with each other.
