On the contrary, he wants to be a matchmaker for Yuan Hongwen!
This is not matchmaking at all. It is obvious that he thinks Princess Chang'an is unreliable and wants to tie her to his boat completely.
Mr. Bai calmly re-examined the young man in front of him.
He is completely different from the young man who ignored the overall situation and acted on impulse as rumored.
Princess Chang'an shook her head stiffly: "His marriage..."
Chu Jingxing stared at her intently until she couldn't continue talking and stopped talking. Then he shrugged and said, "If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter."
He said, "I just think that a deal should be fair. If you want me to negotiate a deal on your behalf, I must first make a deal with you, right? Otherwise, who can be sure of what's going on in this world? One day, you might push me out as a scapegoat for some reason and withdraw yourself. It's not impossible, isn't it?"
"Instead of guessing, why not just reassure each other? I married your daughter, and I need your help and the power of the King of Chu, so I will not destroy the Great Wall. What about you? You should also hand over some chips to bet, right? And a fairy face, you and I both know, is not enough."
Of course not enough.
Only after his daughter and son were fully committed did Chu Jingxing believe in their sincerity.
Mr. Bai turned around and glanced at Princess Chang'an.
Princess Chang'an finally sat down, looked up at Chu Jingxing calmly and asked him: "Do you have any suitable candidates?"
Although Yuan Hongwen is an uneducated playboy, marriage is a major event in life and cannot be treated perfunctorily.
If Chu Jingxing just found someone randomly just to drag Yuan Hongwen into the water, Princess Chang'an would naturally not agree.
Chu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and turned the ring in his hand. When he saw Princess Chang'an asked, he looked up and smiled: "I heard that my aunt has always wanted to find a wife from a scholarly family for cousin Hongwen who can control his wife. What do you think of the Xiao family?"
Princess Chang'an was slightly stunned.
It was Mr. Bai who asked first: "But... the Xiao family that is married to Prime Minister Xia's family?"
Princess Chang'an also looked surprised.
Prime Minister Xia had a grandson who married a girl from the Xiao family of Lanling. However, the Xiao family was of high status and old-fashioned, and they seldom married their girls to nobles. Most of them were married to people of integrity.
Prime Minister Xia had served as an official in Jinling for several years before, so he got acquainted with a direct branch of the Xiao family, and then they became friends. He then became a relative of the Xiao family by virtue of his high position.
The Xiao family used to have a status similar to that of the Ming family.
"It's the Lanling Xiao family." Chu Jingxing had completely turned the tables. He looked into Princess Chang'an's eyes without retreating and asked her, "Are you satisfied with this?"
Natural satisfaction.
No matter from which perspective, marrying into the Xiao family is the best thing that can happen.
Although she is the eldest princess, she has no real power and her husband's family is just mediocre. It would be a bit difficult for her to marry into a noble family.
Yuan Hongwen has been stuck in this situation until now.
But now Chu Jingxing has proposed such a good option.
Princess Chang'an had to reassess Chu Jingxing's power, frowned and asked: "What is your relationship with the Xiao family?"
Just one sentence from him could actually settle the marriage with the Xiao family
But why should he do that
Chu Jingxing shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I was just more familiar with Xiao Qingfeng in the past."
Princess Chang'an knew that he didn't want to reveal any more information, so she paused before nodding and agreeing: "In that case, then I'll do as you said. I'll ask someone to go to the Xiao family to propose marriage."
Chu Jingxing hummed.
Mr. Bai knew that the deal could be discussed further, so he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed over everything in his hand: "This is the account book and list of business dealings in the northwest over the years..."
Chu Jingxing paused for a moment as he asked, "Can I ask you one more thing? What kind of leverage did you have on these people that would make them willing to cooperate with you and surrender to you?"
In addition to the banner of Linjiang Palace, there should be others, right
Otherwise, how could those people agree to pay so much
Princess Chang'an took a sip of tea and felt her throat was no longer so dry and painful. She cleared her throat and glanced at him without hesitation: "At this point, there is nothing to avoid you. Then I will tell you the truth. Speaking of this, it is thanks to Princess Shouning and Shen Chen..."
It’s related to Shen Chen and Wei An again!
Chu Jingxing frowned and asked subconsciously: "What does it have to do with them?"
After the incident at the Peng family, he was framed by Shen Chen and revealed that he had secretly sent a letter to Liu Biping, and was confined to his home by King Linjiang until now.
During this time, he only knew that Shen Chen finally got his wish and returned to his ancestral home, changed his surname back to Shen, and moved back to Pingxi Marquis Mansion. He also knew that Shen Chen met an assassin.
As for the rest.
He really didn't know.
After Liu Biping's incident, in order to avoid breaking the taboo again, he did not deliberately inquire about Shen Chen's affairs.
Princess Chang'an coughed softly and nodded to Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai told him everything that had happened recently in detail, and at the end he said, "Second Master Xie has always hated his half brother, but Princess Shouning accidentally saved the three houses more than once, so Second Master Xie hated them all... If it weren't for the help of Marquis Pingxi this time, Princess Shouning would have been in real trouble."
Shen Chen indeed has an extraordinary concern for Wei An.
Chu Jingxing sneered, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and sighed after a while: "What a coincidence."
What a coincidence! It turns out that the person who wants to surrender to him and serve him from now on has offended Wei An and Shen Chen, and is about to be in trouble. In order to avoid the aggressiveness of Shen Chen and Wei An, he surrendered to Princess Chang'an
If that's the case, then Shen Chen and Wei An really did a lot of good things to help him...
He nodded softly: "Got it."
Princess Chang'an also wanted him to know. She asked softly, "In this case, do you have a way to make Shen Chen and Wei An stop interfering? If they continue to investigate, they might find out what Master Xie is hiding behind the scenes."
This will naturally affect the interests of the people behind them.
Chu Jingxing nodded coldly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. Ask Xie Er to be more restrained recently. Even if there is any grudge, put it aside for now and talk about it later."
