Chapter 402 Engagement
Chapter 402 Engagement
Lord Liu brought Zuo Jizhong to Li's house. Lord Li was very satisfied with Zuo Jizhong's appearance and abilities.
So he quietly asked someone to notify Li Shiyun and let her see him secretly.
Li Shiyun felt that she shouldn't just look at him, he should also look at himself.
So she came to the front hall with tea in her hand.
As soon as Zuo Jizhong saw Li Shiyun, he was stunned. He could never have imagined that Miss Li was so beautiful.
He originally thought that if she was still not married by the age of 18, she must be average looking. He never expected that he had actually found a treasure.
Li Shiyun didn't say much. She just looked at Zuo Jizhong and saw that he looked honest and simple, and didn't seem to have any ulterior motives. She was already content.
After Li Shiyun left the front hall, Lord Li hurriedly followed.
"Daughter, what do you think of Zuo Jizhong?"
Li Shiyun lowered her eyes and said, "He looks like an honest person."
Lord Li: "Yes, this child is a very decent person and a very serious and responsible person."
"Otherwise, the eldest master should not promote him."
Li Shiyun knew that the eldest master never liked people who were cunning and treacherous, which showed that Zuo Jizhong was really good.
In fact, she couldn't say how much she liked him, but seeing her father worrying so much about her marriage, she naturally felt guilty.
Lord Li: "How about my daughter? Or maybe he!"
Li Shiyun looked at her father's expectant eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then it's him!"
Upon hearing this, Lord Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, then Dad will go tell them right away. They are waiting for your nod!"
"Speaking of Zuo Jizhong, I am really in the dark."
"It doesn't matter if his family is poor. Dad will give you more dowry and ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Li Shiyun: "Dad, my daughter's requirements are not high. You don't need to prepare too much for her. There are still my brothers!"
Lord Li: "No, I can't let my daughter suffer any injustice." After saying that, he went out with a smile.
Li Shiyun lowered her eyes and sighed slightly.
Zuo Jizhong was naturally excited when he knew that Miss Li had chosen him.
Lord Liu: "Lord Li, since both children have no objection, then I will send someone to pick a date. It would be better to hold the wedding earlier and have a grandchild earlier, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then I'll trouble Lord Liu to worry about it."
Lord Liu hurriedly said, "Oh, Lord Li, why are you being so polite to me? This is our own child, isn't it my duty to do this?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Zuo Jizhong sat aside with a red face, his mind filled with the beautiful image of Li Shiyun.
After he returned, he hurried to take over the shift.
Then, Hanhan saw Zuo Jizhong sitting crookedly with a sword in his hand, with a happy smile on his face.
"Why are you grinning?" Hanhan couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Jizhong immediately gave a dry laugh with an unnatural expression: "My Lord, I am happy because of a happy event."
Hanhan frowned and said, "What's the good news?"
Zuo Jizhong smiled shyly, then hurriedly whispered, "I'm engaged."
Hanhan narrowed his eyes subconsciously when he heard this: "With whom?"
Zuo Jizhong: "She is the daughter of Lord Li, the Minister of Justice."
When Hanhan heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy.
He originally thought that he had figured it out.
But now, hearing him say that, imagining the scene of her marrying someone else, he felt as if a huge rock was blocking his heart. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
When Hanhan returned home in the afternoon, his face looked visibly ugly.
Because a servant accidentally soiled his weapon, he became furious and ordered his men to drag the man away and give him fifty lashes.
After Jiang Sujin heard this, she felt that Hanhan must have encountered something unpleasant.
She originally wanted to ask, but was stopped by Shen Yanfeng, who told her not to meddle in other people's affairs.
Jiang Sujin felt that something must have happened, so she asked her servants to go outside the mansion to inquire.
After asking around, the servants couldn't find out what had happened to the eldest master.
I heard that the eldest daughter of the Li family is engaged. Although he is not well-matched with the Li family, Zuo Jizhong is still a handsome man.
After hearing the news, Jiang Sujin knew why Hanhan was in a bad mood.
"I didn't expect that Hanhan is such a lovesick person."
Shen Yanfeng sighed and said, "He's useless. He can't even coax a woman."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but glance at him sideways when she heard this: "You said this as if you were some kind of expert in love."
Shen Yanfeng pursed his lips unnaturally: "At least I am not like him. I didn't even take any action."
Jiang Sujin: "What should we do now? Are we really just going to ignore him? He's almost 18, it's time for him to get married."
Shen Yanfeng: "They're already engaged, it's too late no matter what you say."
Jiang Sujin: "Well, why don't I hold another tea party and let Hanhan have another look. It's impossible that he won't like any of them!"
Shen Yanfeng: "You can try, but I don't think it's feasible. This kid is a stubborn person, don't you realize that?"
Jiang Sujin: "It's all up to you."
Shen Yanfeng sighed and said, "It's true. This king has already chosen you, and now he has chosen someone else like this."
Jiang Sujin sighed, feeling sorry for her son who was suffering such emotional pain.
Li Shiyun was getting engaged, and there was another person who was even more anxious, and that was Yu Shichang.
Yu Shichang still hasn't found someone he likes. He feels that this day will come, all because of Li Shiyun.
And he firmly believed that he should marry Li Shiyun because they were childhood sweethearts.
He couldn't accept Li Shiyun marrying someone else, and he also couldn't accept himself marrying a woman with average looks.
So he decided to make it a done deal and make Li Shiyun his completely, so she would have no choice but to marry him.
In a few days, it will be his grandfather's 80th birthday.
By then, the Li family will definitely hold a grand banquet, and by then, he will make Li Shiyun completely his woman.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Li Shiyun couldn't deny her debt even if she wanted to.
Thinking of this, Yu Shichang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
When Hanhan saw Zuo Jizhong again the next day, he suddenly felt that he disliked him no matter how he looked at him.
Finally, on the third day, after Zuo Jizhong made a mistake, he ordered his men to beat him with fifty sticks.
His butt was beaten into a paste, it was so miserable.
As a result, he naturally could not attend Mr. Li’s 80th birthday party.
When the Li family held a celebration for their 80th birthday, they naturally invited all the dignitaries in the capital of Yazhou who could be invited.
The palace naturally also received the invitation. After Jiang Sujin saw the invitation, she directly ordered someone to deliver the invitation to Hanhan's courtyard.
She knew that he definitely wanted to go, but whether he would go or not was up to him.
After seeing the invitation, Hanhan threw it away directly. However, after a moment, he asked someone to take it back.
