"Then the timing is a bit rushed. If we discuss the begging date and the date of the welcome with the British government before returning from Changsong, then we will be able to catch up with the appointment of officials from various places after the Spring Festival." Sheng Hong looked at his elder brother He had no intention of keeping Changsong in Bianjing, so he suggested following his thoughts.

"Well, I'll go talk to British officials after the court tomorrow." Lin Nan brought him to propose marriage to Mrs. Zhang three years ago when Changsong was admitted as a Jinshi. Mrs. Zhang was only thirteen years old at that time. At that time, I was not directly beaten by my daughter's British father-in-law, and it was all thanks to the blessing that I never dragged the army's salary and food after I became the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

The national policy of the Song Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs. In addition, the positioning of civil and military officials caused the two sides to fight against each other. The most important thing for military officials is food and grass. Except for wars, the army's food and grass can be in place quickly. Usually, it is really good If you are in arrears, you will be in arrears. Even if you can't delay the payment, the standard is that you can't starve to death.

But I am a pure official, but no matter how other civil and military officials fight, since I became the Minister of the Ministry of Households, as long as I ask for a reasonable salary, most of them are approved by me, which leads to my desire to fill the treasury with money. For more than ten years Nothing is done.

"Okay, let's go back and rest early." Lin Nan saw that it was getting late, and he had to go to court tomorrow.

"Then the little brother will go back first." Sheng Hong thought about going to Linxi Pavilion later, and prepared to take the first step. Although he thought Shuang'er was very good, his eldest brother had a bad impression of Shuang'er because of what happened to Wei Xiaoniang back then. I dote on Shuang'er, but it's better to avoid it.

British House,
"Mother, why hasn't Daddy come back so late?" Mrs. Zhang looked at the dark sky outside and asked the British princess who was looking at the account book.

"It's okay, Uncle Longchang asked your father to go to Fanlou for a drink today after work. There is something to discuss and he will definitely not come back so soon." The British lady put down the account book and looked at Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang rolled her eyes and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked with a slightly red face, "Are you going to discuss a marriage? But isn't Changsong not back yet?".

"I don't know, but Changsong is already on his way back. Your father said yesterday that at most one month, Changsong will be able to reach Bianjing." Mrs. Zhang pulled Mrs. Zhang to sit beside her.

"Then...then..." Although Mrs. Zhang has a bright and generous personality, she is still a little shy when it comes to this matter and wants to ask something, but she can't open her mouth.

The British princess looked at her hesitant daughter, stroked her hair and said with a smile: "What do you want to ask, it's not like your character to be so hesitant."

"Mother, you said that father and Uncle Longchang were discussing..." Zhang Guifen knew that her mother was deliberately teasing herself, and asked with a blushing face thinking that there was no one else in the room.

Mrs. Ying looked at her shy daughter with a smile and said: "Your father and Uncle Longchang have at most a common idea, and we have to wait for your future mother-in-law to come to discuss the details. Fen'er is in a hurry..."
"Mother, how can my daughter..., at most, she is just curious," Zhang Guifen refused to obey, tugging at the sleeves of the British princess.

"Hehehe..." The British princess smiled disbelievingly, but she was very glad that the master agreed to the marriage at that time. Compared with the little general Zheng who was optimistic about it at the beginning, the long pine in Longchangbo Mansion is more suitable for her daughter. The letters and small gifts sent by Yuzhou in the past three years have made her daughter more cheerful.

Moreover, when Uncle Long Changsong came to propose marriage with Changsong, he mentioned his new family rules that only men who are forty and childless can take concubines. Combined with his own clean back house and only guarding Qin's appearance, this sentence is perfect. Very believable.

You must know that you and the Duke of the State are also equal to each other, but even so, when you were young, you did not suffer less from the concubine's room. Fortunately, Fen'er can avoid the crimes you have suffered. I hope that she can live happily and worry-free for the rest of her life.

Zhang Guifen's face became more and more red when she was laughed at by her mother, but she still insisted on not running away, hoping to wait for her father to come back so that she could know how her father and Uncle Long discussed as soon as possible.

"What's the matter, I'm so happy today?" The British prince heard his old wife's laughter in the courtyard, and thought that something great happened at home when he didn't know it.

"Father, you're back." Zhang Guifen took the opportunity to run to meet Ying Yinggong. Fortunately, her father came back, and she couldn't bear to be laughed at by her mother.

"Well, what happy things are Fen'er and your mother talking about, let's tell Dad." The British Duke asked as he walked to the couch.

"Ah, nothing..." Zhang Guifen blinked, pretending not to know anything.

"I don't know what Long Changbo is looking for. Your girl is very curious." The British lady joked that although she guessed that it had something to do with the marriage, she didn't know if it was.

"Mother...," Zhang Guifen really wanted to run out now.

Seeing the daughter's reaction, the British Duke also smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "Changsong is coming back soon. Long Changbo thought that Fen'er would be in time, so he planned to set a date before Changsong came back, and waited for Changsong to arrive." After paying the errands from the household department, you can come to welcome the relatives."

"It's so fast, but what's the matter?" the British lady asked a little strangely when she heard this.

"Chang Song is 19 years old this year, and many children of his age have been born. Do you think Uncle Long Chang is in a hurry?" The British official did not mention any political issues, but only picked an excuse that was difficult to reason.
