    Chapter 469: [Cheng Mansion Funeral]

    ¡­¡­

    An old man in the Cheng family really passed away.

    The old man is Cheng Laohuo¡¯s uncle Cheng He, who passed away in Jizhou, the hometown of the Cheng family.

    Jizhou is Shandong in later generations.

    After Cheng Laohuo¡¯s father Cheng Lou passed away, Cheng He was the only close relative left in the family.  Mr. Cheng has always respected Cheng He as his father.

    ¡°And the Cheng family is also very powerful in Jizhou, and its foundation in Jizhou is very solid.  When Mr. Cheng followed Li Shimin to conquer the world, Jizhou was his backer.  During the years following the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Cheng Laoguo was uneasy in Chang'an, so he often sent his family to Jizhou.  Thirteen years ago, when Mrs. Cheng was pregnant with Cheng Wenxiao, Mr. Cheng sent Mrs. Cheng to Jizhou to give birth, and let Cheng Wenxiao live in Jizhou for three or four years.  After the throne and everything in Chang'an stabilized, Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Wenxiao were brought back from Jizhou.

    Cheng Wenxiao spent half of his childhood in Jizhou. There is no difference between Cheng Wenxiao and his grandfather, and he has a very deep relationship with Cheng Wenxiao.

    Cheng Lao had no children in his life and only adopted a few children from his clan. Now that he is dead, as the closest relatives to him, Cheng Laohuo and his family all have to go and take care of his funeral affairs.  Three years of filial piety is not suitable for Mr. Cheng. If he is not in Chang'an for three years, after those three years when he comes back, the Cheng family will be unbelievably backward.  So Mr. Cheng decided to keep it for three months, and his children would keep the rest.

    Cheng Wenxiao and Cheng Laosan both grew up in Jizhou, so it is most appropriate for them to observe filial piety in Jizhou.

    Li Chengqian was called aside by Mr. Cheng and listened to what he said.  And when it comes to this, we know Cheng Wenxiao's arrangements for the next three years.

    He immediately looked uncomfortable.

    Although Old Man Jizhou was not arranged by Mr. Cheng.  But Mr. Cheng obviously intended to use this incident to separate Li Chengqian and Cheng Wenxiao.

    Just when Li Chengqian was about to lift the table, Mr. Cheng continued: "I know that Your Highness is attracted to Xiaojiu. Therefore, I and I had many misunderstandings. After the misunderstanding, the Cheng family realized that Xiaojiu's marriage to His Highness would be a long time.  Good story, so I agreed to the matter between you and Xiaojiu. Now Xiaojiu is going to Jizhou to observe mourning for three years. Your Highness can make a marriage contract with Xiaojiu first, and then marry Xiaojiu and enter the palace three years later."

    Li Chengqian could no longer lift the table. When he heard the news he had been waiting for, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "Youare you telling the truth?"

    Mr. Cheng nodded.  Said: "That's right, I wanted His Highness to send Xiaojiu back to the house at some time and talk to His Highness. I didn't expect this to happen, so I had no choice but to come up with this plan!"

    Li Chengqian was pleasantly surprised for a moment, and then his mind started to work rapidly. He stood up, cupped his hand to Mr. Cheng, and said, "Chengqian has met my father-in-law!"

    "Uh, haha" Mr. Cheng didn't expect Li Chengqian to call him so quickly.  He quickly stood up and helped Li Chengqian up.

    Li Chengqian asked: "I don't know when my father-in-law will go to Jizhou?"

    "Tomorrow." Old man Cheng said.

    "Village Officials Coming to Datang Chapter 469: [Cheng Mansion Funeral]" I will leave tomorrow, and I should start early.  So within today, the engagement with Cheng Wenxiao will be finalized.

    "Chengqian will go back to the palace now." Li Chengqian said.

    After finishing speaking, he walked out.

    We went to find Cheng Wenxiao.  She was holding her mother in the room and crying. It seemed that she still had a very deep relationship with her uncle.

    After Li Chengqian entered.  Patting her back gently, she looked up with red eyes.  Mother Cheng was hugged by Cheng Wenxiao just now.  She buried her head in her legs and cried, her pants were soaked from her crying.  She stood up at this time and wanted to go out, giving Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian a world for two.

    "Auntie, there's no need to leave. I'm going back to the palace just to say a word." Li Chengqian stopped her, then looked at Cheng Wenxiao and said, "I'm going back to the palace first, I have something to do."

    Although Cheng Wenxiao is sad, she is a rational girl and does not feel that she is sad and her boyfriend needs to be by her side.  He is the prince, there must be something for him to deal with, so he would leave at this time.

    "Village official who came to Datang" "Well, I'm fine, you can go!" Cheng Wenxiao wiped her tears and said.

    Li Chengqian didn¡¯t explain to her what was going on. He waved to her and walked out.

    After hurriedly arriving at the palace, Li Chengqian was the first to go find Su Mi.

    Su Mi was with Cheng Wenxiao before. Suddenly a eunuch ran in and said that something happened to the Cheng family and that the old man of Jizhou passed away, so sheShe hurried back, but Su Mi became worried about her in the palace.

    Now that Li Chengqian is back, she quickly asked: "Your Highness, how is sister Wenxiao?"

    Li Chengqian told Cheng Wenxiao that the old man from Jizhou was going back to observe mourning for three years while she was still there, and then implicitly mentioned that he would only be able to see Cheng Wenxiao again after three years.

    Su Mi was stunned for a moment and asked:

    "What about Sister Wenxiao and His Highness?"

    Li Chengqian was slightly moved and said, "I'm going to find my mother and make a marriage contract for us. Wen Xiao will be seventeen in three years."

    Su Mi has always known about Li Chengqian¡¯s seventeen-year-old romance. 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 Jizhou tomorrow."

    "I'm here to ask you to come with me." Li Chengqian said, "This way the queen mother will think 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 in this way. No matter what, Cheng Wenxiao would enter the East Palace in the future, and if she was the one to tell the queen, the queen would think that Su Mi was a person with general knowledge, and she would be more cautious.  like her.  And Su Mi taking the initiative would be more conducive to keeping his position.

    So she agreed.

    The two simply tidied up and went to Hanliang Hall.

    "Oh, the old man from Jizhou passed away." The queen was slightly startled after hearing Li Chengqian's words.

    She sighed: "It's been so many years. When I arrived that year, Uncle Cheng was even stronger than Cheng Zhijie. I didn't expect that he would be gone in the blink of an eye."

    "Mother, Your Highness has always been interested in sister Wenxiao. I am also very fond of sister Wenxiao. We are getting along with each other even more happily in Xichiyuan these days. I heard that sister Wenxiao is going to Jizhou to observe mourning for three years. I am afraid that Wenxiao will suffer.  Sister, can you make an engagement first and then take your sister into the palace three years later?" Su Mi said.

    Su Mi raised this matter, which surprised the queen. Then she looked at Li Chengqian and then at Su Mi, and she quickly understood the relationship.

    Su Mi must have agreed and recognized Cheng Wenxiao, and if Su Mi was asked to talk about this matter, Su Mi himself would not have thought of coming here. This matter was caused by Li Chengqian.

    The Queen shook her head: "This is not possible."
