In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever

Chapter 117 Recruitment

More and more people gathered to watch.

Everyone also started talking about it.

Those who are envious can't help but sigh with sadness,

"His Royal Highness King Jing is really concerned about the Duke's daughter."

Someone immediately responded,

"Looking at what you said, can Prince Jing not care about the future Princess Jing?"

The man argued unconvincedly,

"However, this princess's legitimate daughter has just broken off her engagement with Prince Gong."

"I just broke off the engagement, then turned around and made an engagement with Prince Jing."

"I don't mind King Jing."

As soon as he said this, many people nodded in agreement.

At the same time, some people defended Fang Ling.

"As far as I know, it was King Jing who asked the Emperor for permission to marry."

"His Royal Highness King Jing is begging Miss Fang to marry him as his concubine."

"Also, do you know that His Royal Highness King Jing was assassinated in Qingfeng Cliff before? If Miss Fang hadn't rescued him, His Highness King Jing might have been in trouble that time."

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood.

"It turns out that the beauty saves the hero, and the hero pledges himself to her."

Someone else shouted.

……

Qin Mu rode a tall horse and walked at the front of the team.

The comments of the people came to his ears from time to time.

But his expression maintained the majesty that a prince should have from beginning to end.

The reason why he had to create such a big battle for his next betrothal gift.

He just wants everyone to know that he attaches great importance to Ling'er.

The concubine of the duke's palace is the one he respects the king.

As for the insignificant comments of the people, he would not take it to heart.

The mighty motorcade finally arrived outside Fang Guogong's mansion.

Fang Shuming and Fang Jinhang were already waiting at the door of the house.

Seeing King Jing coming, the two people rushed forward to greet him.

Just about to kneel down and salute.

Qin Mu immediately dismounted and supported the two of them.

"Today is a family matter, so there is no need to be so polite."

"The etiquette cannot be abolished."

However, Fang Shuming insisted on kneeling down and saluting.

Fang Jinhang also knelt down and bowed.

Although nowadays, honoring the king is a betrothal gift.

But this marriage is a gift from the emperor, if their government dares to disrespect the etiquette.

Eventually it will reach the emperor's ears.

Maybe, someone will extrapolate the holy intention and directly charge the Duke's Mansion with disrespecting the royal family.

Qin Mu had no choice but to turn sideways and receive a half salute.

Then he gave Fang Shuming a junior salute.

After that, he was invited into the Duke's Mansion.

Behind him were followers Ye Feng and two women who looked like martial maids.

When Fang Shuming held a thick stack of betrothal gift lists, he was also a little surprised.

With so many betrothal gifts, it’s almost time to marry a princess.

Could it be that King Jing wanted to empty out the entire palace to marry her daughter?

However, the surprise in his heart was not visible on his face.

His daughter is naturally precious.

If you want to marry his daughter, no matter how much dowry you pay, it is still appropriate.

He accepted them all for the time being.

When your daughter gets married, just use these betrothal gifts as dowry and let her take them with her.

Qin Mu and Fang Shuming sat and chatted in the hall for a long time, then they got up and went out on the pretext of visiting the garden of the Duke's Mansion.

Fang Shuming and Fang Jinhang naturally knew that he wanted to find Ling'er.

They all had a tacit understanding to see through it without saying anything and just let him go.

They could see that King Jing was sincere to Ling'er.

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, then took a sip of tea from the tea cup.

Fang Shuming first put down the tea cup and slowly said:

"Ling'er is about to get married, but your marriage has not been settled yet."

"Whenever marriage came up in the past two years, you found all kinds of excuses to shirk it."

"You are already eighteen this year, and this marriage cannot be postponed any longer."

"If you don't have the woman you like yet, as a father, I will find someone to help you look after her."

"Cough cough..."

Fang Jinhang coughed slightly awkwardly.

Then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

In the past two years, Yanran had not yet grown up, so he still had to wait for her to grow up.

Now his girl has grown up and has reached the age where she can get engaged.

Naturally, he would never shirk getting married again.

Looking at the smile on his son's face, what else did Fang Shuming not understand?

This is obviously the woman he likes.

He didn't mince words, he asked directly,

"Which girl is your favorite girl from?"

"Father, you can arrange for someone to come to your home to propose marriage."

"Don't be overtaken by others and regret later."

Fang Jinhang is very grateful to his father for giving him absolute autonomy in marriage.

Whether it was for his sister or himself, his father never thought of using their marriage to consolidate the power of the Duke's government.

Knowing that he has a girl he likes, what he cares about most is not the girl's identity and background.

But I am worried that I will regret missing the one I love.

As a powerful person from a well-known family, someone like my father is really rare.

He stood up and saluted his father.

"Father, I can't say anything right now."

"I haven't formally asked her if she is willing to marry me."

"I will report back to my father after I ask her face to face."

Fang Shuming frowned slightly when he heard this.

But thinking about it, although my parents ordered me, the matchmaker's words are the right way.

But children's own inner thoughts are also important.

After all, no one else can live their lives for them.

"In that case, it's up to you."

"It's just that you have to pay more attention to the girl's family honors."

"Don't let this girl get the reputation of giving and receiving things privately."

"If a child knows, his father will understand."

Fang Jinhang replied respectfully.

"Ah."

Fang Shuming nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Mu took Ye Feng and the two maids to Qinxiang Garden in a familiar way.

Fang Ling was leisurely sipping tea in the yard.

Shuitao, who had just watched the excitement in the front yard, walked in excitedly.

"Miss, you didn't see it with your own eyes."

"How spectacular is the motorcade that His Royal Highness sent the betrothal gift?"

"Hundreds of bullock carts carrying betrothal gifts came to our Duke's mansion with great fanfare, and there was no end in sight."

"There are more than a hundred guards escorting the bride price."

"Those betrothal gifts must have been carefully selected by someone arranged by His Highness King Jing. It can be seen that everything was carefully considered."

"Miss, His Royal Highness King Jing is really attentive to you."

"..."

Shuitao said quickly, with a small round face flushed and a smile.

Fang Ling looked at her excited expression and joked:

"When your husband gives you a betrothal gift, he will definitely be considerate of it."

When Shuitao heard this, the blush on her face deepened.

"Miss, you are teasing me again."

"This slave is willing to stay with the young lady for the rest of her life and never be separated."

Fang Ling stood up and tapped the tip of Shuitao's nose.

"Don't say it too early. If you regret it later, I will laugh at you, miss."

"My slave will not regret it."

Shuitao raised his head slightly and said with determination.
