Chapter 22 Conditions
Jia She was stunned by Hou Sulan's question. He didn't expect her to be so direct, but he quickly recovered.

"Exactly! What does the county lord have to say?"

Hou Sulan looked at Jia She, and said bluntly, "I can agree to Marquis Rong's marriage proposal. I know you just want to find someone to help take care of the children and housekeeper. I don't care, but I have a condition."

Since the girl is so direct, Jia She doesn't hesitate, "Please tell me, County Lord, as long as Jia She can do it, I will definitely not refuse!"

Hou Sulan took a deep look at Jia She, and instead of talking about the conditions first, she talked about her own life experience.

"Do you know how my parents passed away?"

Jia She nodded, "Mr. Heng An died generously and died fighting the Tartars. Jia She deeply admires him!"

"Not only my father, but also my elder brother and second brother. Even my mother was killed by the Tartars. It's a pity that I am a woman and cannot join the army. Otherwise, I must go to the border and fight the Tartars to the death."

When Hou Sulan talked about the Tartars, she gritted her teeth with hatred on her face, as if wishing that a Tartar would be stabbed to death by her in front of her.

"Originally I didn't want to agree to this marriage, but I heard from my aunt that after Ronghou got married, he wanted to go to the border to guard the border, so as long as Ronghou promised me, I went to the border and found an opportunity to kill Mang Gurtai, the son of the Jurchen clan leader. Then I promise to marry you, help you take care of the house, raise your children, so that you have no worries."

Hearing Mang Gurtai's name, Jia She was stunned. This timeline is wrong!

Although Jia She didn't read many books in his previous life, he often read novels and had some understanding of the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Mang Gurtai should be Nurhachi's son, he can't remember how old he was, but it's only been a long time since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so why Nurhachi came out.

Jia She was afraid that he made a mistake, maybe it was just the same name, "Master, I don't know how you know the name of Mangurtai, do you know who the head of the Jurchen clan is?"

Hou Sulan's eyes turned red, "Of course I know that my father died at the hands of this Mang Gurtai. This is what my father's bodyguard told me personally."

Perhaps thinking of her father's death, Hou Sulan couldn't bear it anymore and shed tears.

Jia Amnesty quickly wanted to take out a sweat towel to wipe her off, but he forgot that he was not in the habit of wearing a sweat towel. He touched his body and found nothing, so he could only look at it in embarrassment.

However, Hou Sulan was indeed very strong and quickly regained her composure. She said apologetically to Jia She, "I'm sorry, Rong Hou, I lost my temper."

Jia Amnesty waved his hand quickly, expressing that it was okay, Hou Sulan recovered her mood, and continued.

"Back then, the Tatars sent people to attack the city, and the Jurchen Tatars were the vanguard. My father saw that there were many Tatars, so he sent his own soldiers to ask for help, but the weather was not good, heavy snow blocked the road, and the reinforcements did not arrive in time."

"Later, I heard from my uncle that my father and elder brother fought to the death and refused to surrender, and finally died of exhaustion. After death, Mang Gurtai chopped off his head, which made my father and elder brother restless after death."

"As for the Jurchen patriarch, it's not a secret. I heard from my uncle that the patriarch's name is Nurhachi."

Jia She rolled his eyes inwardly. It seemed that it was indeed parallel time and space, and the boar skin actually came out now.

But when Jia Amnesty found out about the wild boar skin, he agreed to Hou Sulan with a straight face.

"Don't worry, the county magistrate, even if you don't mention it, since Jia She has decided to go to guard the border, he won't let those Tartars go."

When Hou Sulan heard what Jia She said, she saluted Jia She directly.

"Then I would like to thank Rong Hou here." Hou Sulan was also happy, and when she heard Jia Amnesty agreed, she turned around and left without talking.

Jia She couldn't help laughing, but she had a very good personality. After Hou Sulan left, a little maid led Jia She to Heng'an Hou's study.

At this time, Marquis Heng An knew that his niece had agreed to the marriage, and immediately Jia She was his niece and son-in-law, and he was part of his own family.

Seeing how Jia She liked it, Marquis Heng'an had a banquet prepared and had a good meal with Jia She.

At the banquet, Heng An Houyu spoke with Jia She earnestly, "Ronghou, my brother's family only has my niece left. I swore before my brother's spiritual throne that I must take good care of her. Even with my life, I must make him look good."

Jia Amnesty understood that this was beating himself, fearing that he would bully Hou Sulan in the future.

Jia She quickly patted his chest and promised that he would respect Hou Sulan from now on.

Heng Anhou laughed, he just put his ugly words in front anyway, lest Jia's family think that he doesn't value Hou Sulan and bully her in the future.

After drinking, Jia She politely declined Heng'an's invitation to stay for a rest, and returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Since the Marquis of Heng'an has agreed, he must plan carefully. Although the Marquis of Heng'an is not leading the troops, he is now leading the errands of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War.

Moreover, the Minister of the Ministry of War is already old, and it is estimated that he will retire in less than two years, and there is a great chance that Heng'an Hou will make further progress.

Moreover, Hou Sulan herself has the title of county lord, and it is difficult for Jia's mother to control her. According to Jia's mother's wishes, she would definitely not want to marry Hou Sulan herself.

Although he had a way to get her to agree, it would probably take a long time. Liu Fang came to him a few days ago and told him that Li Guogong had helped him find the position of Liaodong Lieutenant General.

It is estimated that in more than a month, I will take up the post. It would be a pity if I spend all my time talking with Jia Mu.

I still want to marry Hou Sulan in sooner!
He had already tentatively mentioned it to Hou Heng'an just now. He wanted to get married as soon as possible so that Hou Sulan could help him manage Rongguo Mansion.

Although Marquis Heng'an was not very willing at first, he probably relented after he had asked Sulan for his opinion.

Anyway, Hou Sulan is not young anymore, and the Hou family has prepared the dowry a few years ago.

In order to get married as soon as possible, Jia Amnesty decided to bypass Jia's mother and go directly to ask the emperor to marry him.

Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty prepared a generous gift and sent it to Dai Quan's residence, begging Dai Quan to speak good words for him.

Dai Quan has been enjoying himself recently, and the newly built Imperial City Division is going well. Recently, the emperor has trusted him more and more, and even entrusted him with the investigation of the Duke of Zhongli.

After receiving Jia's amnesty, Dai Quan laughed directly when he heard Jia's amnesty mentioning it, "I don't think it's such a big deal. Don't worry about such a small matter. Our family will definitely help you speak in front of the emperor."

Dai Quan followed the emperor every day, and he knew that Jia She would be sent to Liaodong as a lieutenant general. Liaodong was an important border town. Jia She's getting this official position meant that the emperor had great trust in him.

Of course Dai Quan is willing to help with such a small matter, and Jia She is also very generous and the gift is quite heavy, so he is even more willing.

Jia She had read a lot of novels and TV shows in his previous life, and he knew that people like eunuchs usually put a lot of emphasis on money and rights because they lacked things.

Rights Jia Amnesty can't give Dai Quan, but it's worth giving more money to build a good relationship with Dai Quan.
