"What is his current official position in the capital?" Li Jin asked.

"He entered the Honglu Temple."

Tianbao laughed and said, "I wonder where the teacher is now? I came back in a hurry this time and didn't stop when I passed by the city."

"Prefect Ji is no longer in the provincial capital. He returned to Beijing this year to report on his work and has now been promoted to a third-rank official," Jiang Shengling continued.

"Look at that father and son. What do you call this? Father and son fighting together in the battlefield, each one of them is so powerful." Li Jin exclaimed.

"I heard that you were back, so you rushed here without stopping. Tianbao, are you leaving again this time?" Jiang Shengling asked again.

"Let's talk about it after the New Year. We should be leaving soon." Tianbao replied.

"Xiao Jiang, come here...don't just talk, drink some water and eat something." Liu smiled and grabbed a handful of food for him.

Jiang Shengling quickly took it with both hands and said, "Okay..."

Jiang Shengling stayed here for dinner, and Li Wan and Liu asked Qin Wu to prepare a large table of dishes.

They attach great importance to Jiang Shengling. After all, he is a friend of Tianbao and Shubai.

Having known their family for many years, the Li family is still very familiar with Jiang Shengling.

There is nothing to worry about when talking and chatting.

"Xiao Jiang, I remember you are two years older than our Shubai, right?" Liu asked.

Jiang Shengling smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"She's not young anymore, she's eighteen or nineteen, not young anymore. Are you engaged?" Li Wan asked.

Jiang Shengling's smile was rather forced. "No... I don't want to think about these things now..."

"I don't think about it yet. I'm already eighteen or nineteen, not young anymore. It's time to take action." Liu Meihua agreed.

Qian Xiaoxiao also nodded and said, "Young people nowadays are not like us. We started dating when we were thirteen and got married after fifteen."

"I don't know what they are thinking. The third brother is already twenty years old and is not in a hurry at all. I feel worried for him." Liu sighed.

Tianbao and Li Xiaoning lowered their heads to eat, afraid that the topic would return to them later.

Liu Meihua turned her head and looked at Li Xiaoning, "So, Xiaoning and Tianbao can't learn from them."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Shengling again and said, "And Xiao Jiang too, hurry up and don't waste any more time."

Jiang Shengling chuckled a few times and his eyes lit up as if he remembered something. "How is Li Xi now? Is he engaged?"

When talking about Li Xi, Liu was also worried, "He is not young anymore, more than two years younger than my third child, and he has been with several people but none of them worked out."

Jiang Shengling smiled and said, "I have a cousin who is gentle and three years younger than Li Xi..."

When Li Wan and Liu heard this, their eyes lit up. They thought that the people from the Jiang family... must not be too bad.

"There's only one thing, my cousin and aunt both died of illness four years ago. She has no brothers or sisters, and there are some rumors that she has a hard life or something...

In fact, this is all nonsense. My cousin and his colleagues exhausted themselves when they were doing business in their early years.

Even though they made some money, they were unable to recover their health. They used to be living away from home and only came back five years ago. The health of both elders was not good, so most of the business outside was handled by my cousin.

So... unlike other women, she will show her face outside. If Li Xi minds, then forget it."

Liu was quite attracted by the girl. She knew from the sound of her voice that she was a capable girl. She didn't believe at all that she was just unlucky.

Li Xi also lost his parents, and is quite similar to this Miss Jiang.

As for showing up in public, I don't mind it at all, but I don't know what Li Xi is thinking.

Li Wan was thinking about something else. He hesitated for a long time before asking, "Are you going to marry someone else?"

His cousin only has this one son, so it would be fine if he were to marry him into the family.

Jiang Shengling smiled and shook his head, "I'm not looking for a son-in-law. If we have a child in the future, just give him the surname Jiang, so that my cousin's family will not be cut off."

Li Wan nodded with satisfaction, "Of course, of course."

"Then... when should we let them meet each other?" Liu was a little anxious. The girl was in good condition, and she didn't know whether she would be interested in Li Xi.

"Tomorrow, I'll bring my sister home as a guest. She's always said she wanted to visit your place, and tomorrow's a good day to be free." Jiang Shengling looked at them with a smile.

Li Wan and Liu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, tomorrow."

Li Xiaoning tugged at Tianbao's clothes and asked, "How did this become matchmaking?"

Tianbao shook his head, "I don't know."

After a while, Jiang Shengling left. Liu asked Li Jin to go to the county town and tell Li Yue to come back tomorrow.

Then he got up and went to Li Xi's house, told him what happened, and asked him to clean himself up tomorrow.

Li Xi scratched his head. "She's so well-off... and she doesn't want to marry into the family... How can she be interested in me?"

Li Xi felt that he was not a big shot. He only had a few dozen acres of land and some orchards, but these were nothing in front of Miss Jiang.

Liu smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "This depends on fate and circumstances. Since Xiao Jiang said so, it means she is willing to see you.

They must know your conditions and they won't mind, so just clean yourself up tomorrow and have a sweet mouth."

"Okay, I understand, aunt."

The next morning, Li Yue and Shen Changxun arrived. When Li Yue saw his brother, he patted his shoulder and said, "Ah Xi, we have met this Miss Jiang. She is very good at doing business and we have dealt with her before.

You have also seen her. The girl you saved on the ship when you were helping your brother-in-law move the goods a year ago was her. "

Li Yue laughed as she spoke, "It turns out that your fate has already been decided."

Liu Meihua was very curious when she heard her say this. "When did it happen? Did Li Xi know that Miss Jiang?"

Li Xi didn't expect that the woman he caught a glimpse of was the Miss Jiang he was going to meet today.

Li Yue smiled and took Liu Meihua's hand and began to talk, "It was a year ago when Ah Xi and Chang Xun were carrying goods. The boat they were on was one in front of and one behind Miss Jiang's.

It suddenly rained heavily that day, so they went ashore nearby and prepared to continue their journey after the rain stopped.

Miss Jiang accidentally sprained her ankle when she was getting off the boat. If Ah Xi hadn’t pulled her, she would have definitely fallen into the water.”

"Oh...it turns out that he is a hero who saves the beauty...Axi is great." Li Jin smiled and patted him.

Tianbao and Li Xiaoning came over arm in arm. They had just finished breakfast.

"Good morning, cousin...brother-in-law." Tianbao waved to them.

"Cousin, uncle..." Li Xiaoning also greeted them.

Li Yue pulled the two of them and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Cousin, you came so early." Tianbao rubbed his eyes. He was woken up before he had a good sleep today.

Shen Changxun laughed when he heard this. "After your sister heard the news yesterday, she couldn't sleep and kept talking about coming back."

"I'm just excited." Li Yue continued with a smile.

"Coming, coming..." Li Yin ran over.

Li Wan and Liu quickly asked Li Jin to open the door.
