Just when everybody in Jing was preparing celebratory presents, a decree for marriage came down. Minister Luo’s di granddaughter was to be married to Cheng Wang He Ming. The marriage would take place when spring arrived.
When this decree came down, it shocked everybody to the point of seeing stars. They all gave out a lot in congratulatory gifts and then each raised their heads and stretched their necks to gaze and see the mess that Jing would fall into next year.
