Chapter 44: Hold on
Jiang Zhenyuanguo only opened the side door of the Zhenguo Mansion as Jiang Xian ordered, and sent a chief steward to welcome guests at the door.
Even so, it is quite surprising to those who occasionally pass by - the main gate of the Zhenguo Mansion will only be opened to welcome the emperor, the first day of the new year, or the wedding of the prince and the prince.
Jiang Zhen was speechless all the way and his aunt Zhenguo and Mrs. Fang passed through the Yi Gate, bypassed the main hall to Jiang Zhenyuan and Fang's main courtyard.
This is what the family means when they talk about family affairs.
Jiang Xian saluted Jiang Zhenyuan.
Jiang Zhenyuan is forty and two this year, because he has been in the top position for a long time and is well-maintained, he is thin and straight, and he looks only in his early thirties, but it is his wife Fang, although she is three years younger than Jiang Zhenyuan, she looks like Jiang Zhenyuan's sister. But their husband and wife are very affectionate, Jiang Zhenyuan has no concubines and no intercourse in the house, and only one son Jiang Lu was born after they got married.
He sat down and received Jiang Xian's salute.
According to the law, one of them is the lord of the county and the other is the grandfather of the country, and they are of equal rank. According to the clan rules, one of them is an elder and the other is a junior. Regardless of the national rites and family gifts, Jiang Zhenyuan is above Jiang Xian.
Fang personally brought refreshments to Jiang Xian.
Jiang Xian got up and thanked him, and sat on the Taishi chair of Jiang Zhenyuan's head.
Fang's gently and gracefully sent the servants in the house and helped them open the door.
Jiang Zhenyuan's cold and solemn face showed a little worry, revealing the straightforwardness of his military background: "It's not easy for you to go out of the palace, let's get straight to the point if there's anything." Are you in trouble in the palace?"
Jiang Xian looked up at his uncle.
Whether it is in the past or present life, he is the person she trusts the most and relies on the most.
Every time something happens, no matter what her uncle thinks, he will support her behind her.
She gently put down the teacup in her hand, turned her hand and wore a armor set with gold and treasures, and said, "Uncle, the emperor said that he would marry me as his queen." ”
Jiang Zhenyuan was stunned, and then frowned.
The heirs of the Jiang family are thin.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there are only Jiang Lu and Jiang Xian in the Yan branch, only Jiang Han in five suits, and only one Jiang Zong in seven suits. When Jiang Zhenying asked Princess Shang Yongan, he didn't agree. But the emperor Xiaozong at that time was the time when he was enveloping the Jiang family, Jiang Zhenying was the youngest son, and he followed his mother to the palace since he was a child, and he stayed with the first emperor Emperor Yingzong for nine days out of ten days, so he naturally met Princess Yong'an. The two fell in love at a young age, Princess Yongan didn't wait for Ji Xuan to clamoring to marry Jiang Zhenying, Jiang Zhenying didn't eat if she didn't have a princess, Emperor Xiaozong was happy to see it, and the Empress Dowager also hoped that Jiang Zhenying could be her son-in-law, and the Jiang family had no choice but to agree.
As a result, Jiang Zhenying died young, and Princess Yongan was unwilling to live alone at all, leaving only the only seedling Miao Jiang Xian, but she was taken to the palace by the Empress Dowager to raise her, and the people of their Jiang family did not see each other for ten days and a half months.
Now the emperor has privately asked to marry Jiang Xian......
He strongly disagreed.
It's just that although he is worried about this niece in his heart, he has not said a few words when he is so old, every time he meets, he is quiet, and he looks beautiful and sensible, but what kind of personality and preferences is it, she lives in Cining Palace, he is afraid that others will misunderstand, thinking that he is going to peep into the harem, which makes him very embarrassed.
Now that his only niece is about to marry the emperor, he wants to persuade her, but he is afraid that his rash opening will make Jiang Xian rebellious, just like Jiang Zhenying back then, as long as he doesn't let him be a princess, he can do anything.
Jiang Zhenyuan had no choice but to ponder carefully in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to pick up the teacup and drink tea, and the corner of his eyes fell on Jiang Xian's hand on the coffee table.
The hand was white and tender, tenderer than the face of a newborn baby, but it had a piece of armor on its little finger.
The armor was more than an inch long, golden, carved with camellia and calamus patterns, and inlaid with sesame opal, diamond, tourmaline stone, garnet, agate stone...... There is a kind of exuberant luxury.
Look at her cosplay again.
Wearing a honey-colored Hangzhou silk jacket outside, the black green silk was neatly pulled up, and the whole body was wearing a pearl headband except for the armor on the hand.
Jiang Zhenyuan blocked his throat in one breath.
His delicate and weak little niece, at the age of flowers, should have been dressed in red and green, surrounded by green beads, and sent to the palace, but she was developed into the habit of an old lady, what armor she wore, and what plain clothes she wore.
Look at this, people who don't know still think she's widowing!
Their Zhao family is full of widows, and the people of their Jiang family are still alive and well!
Jiang Zhenyuan was suddenly angry, and put down the teacup with a ding, and the corners of his mouth were about to refuse this family business, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Jiang Xian holding the teacup and drinking tea.
Jiang Zhenyuan's heart moved.
Boryeong, too calm.
The hand holding the tea bowl did not move like a mountain, and it did not tremble.
The Empress Dowager has always doted on his niece, but she came to her to tell her about it, and either the Empress Dowager Cao clearly disagreed with this marriage, or the Empress Dowager did not agree...... She should be in distress at this time, how can she be as stable as Mount Tai?
Jiang Zhenyuan thought for a while and said tentatively: "Baoning, what do you mean, do you want to marry the emperor?"
Jiang Xian breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
She is still young, her father was a child when he was alive, and her uncle is the pillar of the family, and he is used to being the master of the house, so he may not be able to listen to her. Only then did she think that she had to open her mouth and surprise her, so that her uncle would want to look at her differently...... The rest will be easy.
"Uncle knows me, I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and when I go outside, I look at Mrs. Hou who presides over the feed, Mrs. Uncle, I don't know how to settle accounts and manage money, I can't communicate with housekeepers, I don't know how to cook female celebrities, it's better to stay in the palace." In her previous life, Jiang Xian didn't have a chance to say to her family, but in this life, she took this opportunity to say it, "When the emperor said this, I thought it was good." married to the emperor, that is, moved from Cining Palace to Kunning Palace, and can also be accompanied by his grandmother and the imperial concubine, the emperor also grew up playing together, and his preferences and habits are similar. ”
Jiang Zhenyuan almost vomited blood when he heard this.
The Zhao family is really powerful.
Several generations of emperors have cooked the people of the Jiang family like boiled frogs in warm water.
He wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but Jiang Xian had already said: "But I think again, since I want to marry the emperor, I must find out the emperor's affairs, right? ”
Jiang Zhenyuan entered this door from his niece, which was the most comfortable sentence she said. He nodded and said, "It's good that you think so." Five generations of our Jiang family, only to produce a girl like you. There is no man in this world that you are not worthy. Even if you don't marry the emperor, there are a lot of good men waiting for you to choose. ”
Jiang Xian couldn't help but laugh.
After she lowered the curtain to listen to the government, her aunt Fang Shi saw that she liked to listen to operas, and once hinted to her that she should find a few children of the family who were good at music and rhythm to serve in the palace.
Her aunt had always been virtuous and courteous, and she was obedient to her husband's orders, and she could not say such a thing.
That's probably what her uncle meant.

Dear friends, today's addition.
PS: A relative asked me if Zhao Yi was avenging Zhao Yi, and here I want to explain that the emperor will never avenge his father, because if his father does not die, he will not be the emperor...... Let's try to understand the peculiar profession of the emperor from this level.
