Chapter 260 Large-scale Fraud Scene

Fortunately, they didn't have to worry for too long, Suifeng took a deep breath and continued.

"Well, guess what? After we showed them Miss Jiang's birth date and time, they were all very surprised and said that Miss Jiang and the prince's birth date and time were a match made in heaven."

"Because Miss Jiang's horoscope is water, and the prince's is metal. Metal generates water, and water nourishes metal. They are a perfect match for each other."

"Plus, Miss Jiang is blessed by the 'Purple Star' in her destiny, which is the key to dispelling the evil spirit in the prince's destiny. It is no exaggeration to say that Miss Jiang is the benefactor of my prince's destiny."

"The officials at the Imperial Astronomical Observatory spent three full days and three nights calculating this date!"

"Oh, and they also said that if the prince and Miss Jiang get married on this day, not only will it dispel the bad luck in the prince's fate, but they will also enjoy long-lasting good fortune and many children."

"And if we miss this day, even if we wait another three years, we may not be able to find such an auspicious day."

"Well, my prince has no other choice, so he has to put Miss Jiang in a difficult position..."

Jiang Zheng was stunned when he heard Suifeng's long string of words.

"This... was this really calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory?"

Why did these words sound familiar to him? They were like... the tricks used by those charlatans on the street?

At this time, Song Wan in the back hall almost spit out water after hearing these words.

If only I could communicate with Jiang Zheng at this moment.

She would definitely tell him.

What do you mean by similar? It's exactly like that!

But Suifeng was facing Jiang Zheng's gaze at this time, and he could only bite the bullet again and continue to give it a try. He looked at Jiang Zheng sincerely and said in a very firm tone.

"Absolutely true!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but look at his wife, and then at Jun Jiuchen who had an expressionless face.

Judging from the appearance of the Regent, he doesn't seem like someone who would lie with his eyes open.

Moreover... it seemed unnecessary for him to fabricate something out of nothing and bring bad luck upon himself by saying that he was born with bad luck.

Besides, if you think about it carefully, December 31st, '12' means the full moon, and '31' means the waxing sun. The full moon and waning sun are a very auspicious day in themselves.

The senior officials in the Imperial Observatory would never do anything without a purpose.

In particular, people also said that only their daughter could dispel the evil spirit in the Regent's fate.

This is a great thing for my daughter to gain a foothold in the Regent's Palace.

Now that the imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued, he has no reason to object.

After all, it's better to believe something than not to believe it. My daughter can't wait another three years, so hurry... hurry up...

He said with some trepidation.

"In that case, we can only try our best to cooperate."

Suifeng felt relieved when he saw Jiang Zheng finally let go.

"Don't worry, Master Jiang. My prince said that although time is tight, we have made all the preparations in the palace. We will have everything, including the betrothal gifts, wedding ceremony, and banquet. We will ensure that Miss Jiang will marry in style!"

……

Jun Jiuchen actually didn't know where Suifeng learned this nonsense today.

He just asked him to put the blame on the Imperial Observatory.

But since the matter was settled, he didn't want to delve into it. After all, Song Wan seemed to have a lot of feelings for the Jiang family's adoptive parents.

If this can make them feel a little more at ease, then the reputation of him having an unlucky fate will not be a big deal.

After everything was settled, he turned his attention back to Jiang Yuanzhou.

"I have previously heard from Miss Jiang that Master Jiang is not only well-versed in classics such as "Waterways of the South" and "Comprehensive Discussion on River Defense," but has also traveled extensively throughout the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, and has considerable insights into the perennial flooding issues of Jiangnan."

"Mr. Jiang, could you please explain this to me in more detail?"

Like Jiang Wanqiao, Jiang Wanzhou inherited Liu's good looks. He looked gentle and elegant, with a very straight posture when walking and sitting. He did not look like a businessman, but rather a modest gentleman.

At this moment, when he suddenly heard Jun Jiuchen talking about this matter in the context of his marriage with his younger sister, he was a little unable to react for a moment.

But my younger sister is fine, why would she bring up this matter with the Regent?

Is it...

Is he trying to use her relationship with the Regent to do him favors?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanzhou disagreed in his heart.

My younger sister married into a wealthy family. If she rashly asks for benefits for the Jiang family, she will inevitably be looked down upon in the future.

and……

Jiang Wanzhou's expression suddenly dimmed a little, not knowing what he was thinking about, and then he responded to Jun Jiuchen.

"Your Highness, I was only a little interested in these things when I was young and ignorant, but I can't really say I have any opinion on them."

"Besides, since I came of age and took over part of the Jiang family's business, I haven't been involved in these things for a long time."

"My younger sister has been married for a long time, so perhaps I don't know the inside story. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Jiang Zheng and Liu felt a little sad when they heard their son's words.

They knew exactly what their son was like, so how could he forget?

However, when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he had enthusiastically sought to see the local prefect and officials many times with carefully drawn water control maps, hoping to offer suggestions.

But as soon as those people heard that Zhou'er was the son of a merchant, they looked at him with contempt and ridicule without even looking at his drawings carefully.

"A merchant's son is qualified to talk about flood control? It's ridiculous!"

Then, he threw his son's carefully crafted painting aside as if it were some dirty thing and had him beaten out.

Once, twice, three times... Zhou'er's enthusiasm gradually cooled down.

Of course, there were also some people who coveted the Jiang family's money and used this as an excuse to ask the Jiang family to give them money. Seeing that Zhou'er was frustrated, they also took away a lot of money without Zhou'er's knowledge.

Unfortunately, it finally sank into oblivion...

Zhou'er was a stubborn person. After learning about this, he completely gave up the idea and honestly learned to take over the Jiang family's business.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zheng and Liu looked at each other, their hearts filled with heartache.

Jun Jiuchen took in the looks of everyone in the room.

"I see... That's a bit of a pity."

"Recently, floods have plagued the Jianghuai region, yet the court officials have been unable to come up with any effective policies, relying solely on the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds to repair the riverbanks."

"It's just that Jiangnan is prone to heavy rain, and even repairs and patching every year haven't solved the fundamental problem."

"The other day, I overheard Miss Jiang mentioning that perhaps Young Master Jiang could help me solve my problems... Who knew it was all for nothing? It's a pity for those people who suffer from floods every year..."

After Jun Jiuchen finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand.

"Since that's the case, and the marriage is now finalized, I will take my leave."

Jiang Wanzhou's heart moved when he heard Jun Jiuchen's last sentence.

It has been nearly three months since he set out for the capital. Has there been another flood in the south of the Yangtze River?

He grew up in Jiangnan, so his feelings for his hometown are naturally incomparable to anywhere else.

Besides his own love for it...his best friend from childhood died in a flood, and because of that, he was particularly obsessed with it for a while, but later...

If you just want to hear opinions...

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanzhou suddenly called out to Jun Jiuchen who was about to get up.

"My lord, please wait!"

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuchen paused, turned slightly, and his eyes fell lightly on Jiang Wanzhou. He didn't seem surprised that he would ask to stay.

"Master Jiang, is there anything else?"

Jiang Wanzhou took a deep breath, suppressed his hesitation, stood up, took a step forward and bowed.

"Your Highness just mentioned the flood disaster in the south of the Yangtze River. I have something I want to show you."

"Oh? Didn't Master Jiang just say that he had stopped getting involved in these things? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Jiang Wanzhou's heart sank when he heard this, and his face turned a little red due to embarrassment, but it was only for a moment, and he bowed to Jun Jiuchen again very calmly.

"I was distracted just now and lost my composure. I apologize for making you laugh."
