Chapter 28: Engagement
After hearing this, Yang Lin fell silent and then said: "The matter of marriage is firstly ordered by the parents, and secondly there is a matchmaker agreement. Regarding this matter, I still need to wait until I report to my mother, and then the Xiao County Magistrate will decide
The betrothal gift can only be negotiated."
Lu Taigong immediately smiled and nodded, and said: "It is exactly what Pei Gong said. If this is the case, then I will wait for Xiao County Cheng in the mansion."
Yang Lin then ordered people to send Lu Taigong away, and he returned to the backyard of the county government office to look for his mother, and respectfully informed the latter about Lu Pheasant's affairs.
After hearing this, Yang's mother looked happy, took Yang Lin's arm and asked him to sit down, and then said: "Son, mother has long said that she will go to Lu's house to be a matchmaker for you. Since Lu Taigong has this intention, why not invite him today?
The Prime Minister of Xiao County will go and decide on the betrothal gift. As for the auspicious date for the wedding, wait until the Prime Minister of Xiao County gets Lu Pheasant’s birthday, and then Mother will find someone to check the horoscopes and choose a day for you to get married.”
Since his mother had said this, Yang Lin respectfully agreed and left his mother's place. He ordered someone to find Xiao He who was counting the land, and then told Xiao He the intentions of Lu Taigong and his mother, and ordered him to go immediately.
The Lu Mansion in the city decided on a betrothal gift.
Xiao He knew the importance of this matter. With the support of Lu Mansion, food could be solved. He nodded and said, "My lord, you may not know that Grand Duke Lu is from the same clan as Lu Buwei, the former prime minister of the Qin Empire. With the power of Lu Mansion, many things can be solved."
All can be easily solved.”
"Oh?" Yang Lin nodded slightly in surprise, and then said in a deep voice: "It turns out that there is still this level of relationship. If so, and with the full support of the Lu family, maybe the bronze and the horses can also be solved."
"Since the Lord has this intention, Xiao He will go to the Lu Mansion to set the betrothal gift, and then ask Taigong Lu to try to purchase a batch of bronzes and horses." Xiao He immediately suggested.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Lin agreed with Xiao He's suggestion and appointed him: "Xiao County Prime Minister, please discuss with your mother how much the betrothal gift should be."
"Xiao He understands, why go and ask the old lady for advice now." Then Xiao He said goodbye. After discussing with Yang's mother, he ordered people to go to Pei County to purchase betrothal gifts. When everything was ready, Xiao He hurriedly found the drummer, and then
The procession leading the betrothal gift went to the Lu Mansion with great force, beating gongs and blowing instruments.
As Yang Lin was the Duke of Pei, which means the lord of Pei County, Xiao He also knew that he should not stick to trivial details. With such a big fanfare, the people of Pei County immediately knew that Yang Lin was going to marry Lu Pheasant.
When Xiao He arrived at the Lu Mansion in Peixian County, Lu Taigong had been waiting for a long time. After greeting each other, the two entered the main hall and sat down. Xiao He went straight to the point and ordered the dowry to be brought in.
"Congratulations, Taigong Lu. Pei Gong marries Lu Pheasant. In the future, Lu Mansion's status in our Pei County will be greatly improved." Xiao He said with a smile.
Taigong Lu was equally happy. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xiao County Prime Minister is joking. In the future, Lu Mansion will help Pei Gong solve his problems and fully support Pei Gong's uprising."
After the betrothal gift was decided, Xiao He discussed with Lu Taigong about grain, bronze and horses. In addition to ensuring that grain could be purchased in time, Lu Taigong could not give a definite answer to bronze and horses. After all, these two items were in the Qin Empire.
All are strictly controlled.
"I will let Lu Ze do his best for bronze and horses." Lu Taigong said hesitantly after thinking about it.
Xiao He also understood, so he did not demand too much from the latter. He just hoped that Lu Taigong could get some as much as possible. In this case, the strength of Pei Jun could be greatly improved.
After the discussion, Mrs. Lu sent Lu Pheasant's birthday and birth date. Xiao He stood up and left, "After comparing the birth dates, I will order someone to inform Taigong Lu on the auspicious day for the wedding."
Xiao He returned to the county government, reported all the situations to Yang Lin, and then gave Lu Pheasant's birth date to Yang's mother. After the two parties' horoscopes were compared, the wedding day was finally set. Three days later, on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month
, it is a good time and auspicious day.

Just when Yang Lin repelled the Qin army and prepared to marry Lu Fei, in the camp of Wang Li of Jiuyuan County, which is adjacent to the Xiongnu, Yan Le, who was a messenger of edicts, finally met General Wang Li who had returned from patrolling the front line.
After hearing the imperial edict from Xianyang City, Wang Li hurriedly galloped back. When he saw Yan Le, he immediately sat down, then looked at the latter and said in a deep voice: "It turns out to be Magistrate Yan."
Yan Le bowed his hands, showed a smile, and replied Wen Yan: "General Wang, it is Yan Le."
"Sit down. I heard that Magistrate Yan brought the imperial edict from His Majesty the First Emperor. I wonder if that's true?" Wang Li's eyes flashed and he asked immediately.
"The imperial edict is on Yan Le. Don't be anxious, General Wang. Before the imperial edict is read out, there is one more matter that Zhao Fuling and Master Hu Hai asked me to convey." Yan Le looked at the guards outside the camp and then said: "This matter is of great importance.
, General Wang, can you order your personal guards to retreat?"
When Wang Li saw the latter's solemn expression, he immediately laughed heartily, seemingly helpless with the latter's caution, but he still waved his hand and ordered all his guards to retreat.
Seeing that there was no one outside the camp, Yan Le immediately bowed, stepped forward and whispered, "General Wang Li is far away on the border guarding the empire. Don't you know that His Majesty the First Emperor became an immortal and left ten days ago?"
"What?" Wang Li suddenly stood up in shock after hearing the words. He looked at Yan Le in disbelief, then grabbed the latter's collar and glared at him. The blood on his body was unsettling. He asked solemnly.
He said: "You said that His Majesty the First Emperor became an immortal and left, is this really true?"
Yan Le felt uneasy. He didn't understand what Wang Li meant. The burly middle-aged man in front of him was a battle-hardened general. He nodded cautiously, then looked at Wang Li, and replied in a low voice without daring to hide anything: "Wang
General, how could Yan Le have the guts to deceive you about this? If you don't believe it, wait two more days, and I believe that the Wang family where General Wang belongs will also send a message. General Wang can verify whether it is true or not."
Wang Li remained silent. He let go of Yan Le's collar. Just as the latter said, such shocking news should soon spread to the Wang family. And when the time comes, a comparison will show that what Yan Le said is false.
, that would be the consequence of losing one's life. Wang Li did not believe that the latter would give up his life for a lie.
"His Majesty the First Emperor has passed away as an immortal, what will happen to our great Qin?" Wang Li lamented sadly, and he sat down again in a low mood.
Yan Le finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said cautiously again: "General Wang, although His Majesty the First Emperor passed away as an immortal, he left behind a decree to pass the throne to Young Master Hu Hai."
Another shocking news, Wang Li's heart was struck by lightning, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, what should Fusu do?
