Jia's mother excused herself because she was tired and sent everyone away, leaving Jia Min to help her go to the inner room to rest.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Mother Jia took her daughter and sat down on the heated floor, and asked eagerly: "Min'er, how did you convince Prince Xuan to propose marriage to the Qin family on Brother Yun's behalf?"

Jia Min said sadly: "This matter was not done by my daughter, but was planned by the master and Mr. Guo together. I only learned the details last night."

Jia Mu asked in confusion: "Mr. Guo? Which Mr. Guo is he?"

"Mr. Guo's name is Guo Yuqi. He was the main hall of the Imperial Hospital when the Emperor was in power."

Jia Mu thought for a while and said: "It seems to have some impression, but how did he know about this and why did he help our uncle."

Jia Min explained: "Miracle Doctor Guo was originally from Yangzhou and had a good relationship with Prince Tong Yi Zhong. Moreover, he and the princess were old acquaintances. The princess's orphan was entrusted to him to be entrusted to Lord Qin."

Jia Mu: "So that's it. He must be the one he begged for, right?"

"Mother's guess is right. It was him who suggested to the master that Brother Yun should marry that girl."

Jia Mu asked worriedly: "Does Brother Yun know about this?"

"The old miracle doctor told him everything that happened last night. He didn't even hide the girl's identity. The old miracle doctor also told him that if he married that girl, he might not be able to serve as an official for the rest of his life. Brother Yun, listen.

Finally, I still agreed to the marriage."

When Jia Min said this, she couldn't help but threw herself into her mother's arms and sobbed silently.

Mother Jia's eyes were also red. She patted her daughter's back and said, "That child is indeed a responsible person. I don't expect you to hurt him."

Jia Min cried and said: "I originally wanted to take Brother Yun as my stepson and let him study hard so that he can make a difference in his official career in the future. This way I can also take good care of my Yu'er, but now~"

Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, Jia Mu consoled her against her will and said, "Min'er, if you can't bear it, let's find another way."

"Mother, my daughter has arranged for someone to go to the Qin family to propose marriage."

Jia's mother was shocked when she heard this, and then sighed: "If your two brothers had half the courage of Min'er, mother wouldn't have to worry about it anymore."

Jia Min looked up at Jia Mu and said, "Mom, after Brother Yun's marriage is decided, my daughter will not be able to come to the house to visit you often. Please take care of yourself, mother."

Mother Jia raised her hand to wipe away her daughter's tears, and said sadly: "A family like ours may appear to be prosperous, but who can know the suffering inside. Min'er, when you return to Yangzhou, remember to thank my uncle for me.

"

Jia Min: "Mom, please don't do this. These are what the master should do."

Jia's mother shook her head and said: "Min'er, mother knows my uncle's difficulties. He asked Brother Yun to marry that girl. I'm afraid it will be more difficult for him to be favored by the emperor in the future, and his career will be much more difficult. Please tell him for me.

He must be more careful."

"My daughter understands."

Jia Mu stood up and said, "Let's go, you accompany mother to pick out some gifts. This is my gift to Brother Yun and that girl for their engagement."

"My daughter thanked her mother for Brother Yun."

"I should be the one thanking him."

"If mother says that, doesn't it mean she's trying to kill Brother Yun?"

"Stop talking and go pick out gifts with your mother."

"OK."

…

When Lin Yun saw Ning Heng again, it was in his room. The boy was sitting alone on the edge of the Kang, wiping a sword with cotton cloth.

Seeing Lin Yun walking in from the door, Ning Heng suddenly stood up, raised his sword and stabbed Lin Yun in the chest.

With the experience of being attacked by the old prince last time, Lin Yun reacted very quickly this time. He stepped quickly, passed the tip of the sword, and quickly grabbed Ning Heng's wrist with his right hand.

Perhaps because of his long illness, Ning Heng's movements were much slower, so Lin Yun easily grabbed his wrist and snatched the sword away.

Ning Heng coughed several times because of his violent movements. He picked up the tea cup from the kang table and drank a few sips of water. Then he picked up the scabbard on the table and handed it to Lin Yundao: "This sword is for you.

"

Lin Yun took the scabbard, inserted the sword into the scabbard, and handed it back to Ning Heng. He said with a look of disdain: "Nowadays, we all use firecrackers in battles, who would use a sword?"

Ning Heng sat down on the Kang and said: "What you said is wrong. Although the fire blunderbuss has a large killing area, its accuracy is poor and its power is weak. In addition, fighting in rainy days is very limited, so it can only be used as a weapon on the battlefield.

As an auxiliary force."

Lin Yun sat down opposite Ning Heng and asked him, "Have you ever been on the battlefield?"

Ning Heng shook his head and said, "No, I heard what my father said."

"Fire guns have shortcomings, and craftsmen can try to correct them. I think the battlefield in the future will be dominated by fire guns."

Ning Heng: "If you like fire guns, I will give you one another day."

"No, I have a new type of fire gun, a short-handled hand gun."

Ning Heng said in surprise: "That thing is not easy to get. I heard that it costs hundreds of taels of silver to buy one."

"I didn't buy that one, it was seized from the assassin."

Ning Heng remembered it and said, "I heard that you fought against assassins. I didn't believe it at first. I just tried it and your skills are indeed good."

After a pause, Ning Heng said again: "It's not much worse than me."

"Xiao Hengzi. I handed over your sword just now. I should be more powerful than you."

"Nonsense, it's me, cough cough cough~"

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, just think you are awesome."

"It's obvious that I'm the better one. When I recover, we can compete again."

"Then you should compare yourself with others. I came here today to say goodbye to you. I will go to Yichen Academy to study tomorrow."

"Yichen Academy? What's the point of staying in that useless place?"

"I can't help it. My uncle asked me to go."

"That's it. Then when I get well, I will go to the academy and study for a few days."

Lin Yun picked up a piece of pastry from the food box. While eating, he said, "I heard that Yichen Academy only accepts civilians, so you probably won't be able to get in."

Ning Heng: "You must have been deceived. Although Yichen Academy accepts mostly civilians, there are also several concubines from courtiers' families studying in the academy. For example, Ning Yue, the second eldest son of Prince Zhongshun, was admitted to the academy.

.”

"Xiao Hengzi, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Why am I lying to you? My ancestors wanted me to go to the academy to study, but I thought studying was too boring, so I didn't go."

"According to your statement, are you absolutely sure that you will be admitted to Yichen Academy?"

Ning Heng smiled proudly and said: "Master Lu is a good friend of my ancestor. As long as I want to go in, I can just ask my ancestor to tell him."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "No need to take a test?"

Ning Heng asked, "Have you passed the exam?"

"Well, it seems that I was admitted by Mr. Lu without taking the exam."

"That's alright, you don't have to take the exam, so why should I take the exam?"

"Well, Lin Yun must admit that Prince Xuan is definitely more prestigious than Lin Ruhai. It shouldn't be difficult for this kid to enter the academy."
