Chapter 217: Decision
Jiang Xian's heart "chuckled", and his hands tightened slightly.
Mrs. Fang immediately noticed her abnormality, and hurriedly patted her shoulder soothingly, and laughed in a low voice: "It's okay! I have been entrusted by the Empress Dowager and your uncle to visit you. ”
Isn't she going back to Beijing soon? Why did the Empress Dowager and her uncle still have to work hard to let her aunt and Bai Su go this way?
Jiang Xian wanted to ask carefully, but there was a noisy noise outside the carriage from time to time, and it was not a good place to talk.
She had to ask Mrs. Fang about the itinerary on the road first.
Mrs. Fang replied to her gently: "It was your uncle's escort who escorted us here, and the journey was quite smooth." Then he asked Jiang Xianlai: "Are you okay these days? That Li Qian, I look good, how did you meet?"
I didn't see it at all before, otherwise Bai Su wouldn't have been so surprised when he knew that Jiang Xian chose to marry Li Qian!
Jiang Xian knew that this was what her aunt was asking her about on behalf of the Empress Dowager and her eldest aunt.
She didn't want the people in her family to worry, and she didn't want them to misunderstand Li Qian, so she had to say vaguely: "He was a guard in the Praetorian Guard before, and I met him a few times, and I think he has a cheerful and generous personality, treats people carefully and considerately, and is a very good person to get along with." But that's all there is to it...... Later, my grandmother and her old man chose Zhao Xiao, I didn't care, but he felt a little unbearable...... By the time I made up my mind to go with him, the two families had already exchanged posts...... I thought of this solution in desperation......" she said, thinking of what the Empress Dowager and her uncle had done for her, she couldn't help but be grateful and guilty, and her voice lowered a little, "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, too willful......"
"What nonsense?" Mrs. Fang hurriedly hugged her when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "If you marry Zhao Xiao in such an ignorant way, we are the real sadness! Don't you know, after Cao Xuan entered the palace, the Empress Dowager knew that you were gone, Cao Xuan left with the holy decree on the front foot, and the Empress Dowager called your uncle over and reprimanded him fiercely, I am afraid that your uncle will feel uncomfortable, and I also prepared good wine and food and wanted to accompany your uncle to drink, but your uncle said to me, what are we elders who are cautious and aggrieved? As for the fame, status, and money that outsiders value, our family has long disdained to exchange you for, otherwise your grandfather and grandmother would not have agreed to your father, Princess Shang. ”
Jiang Xian's tears couldn't hold back anymore.
Bai Su smiled and handed over a handkerchief.
Jiang Xian was slightly stunned and whispered "thank you".
Bai Su pursed his lips and smiled, his dark eyes were like stars, and said, "Whoever makes you sad for me, I will also let you taste sad!"
It turned out that I was making a show for her just now!
Jiang Xian thought of the smell of his heart hanging in the air just now, burst into a smile, and said, "See how I clean you up?"
"And how are you going to clean me up?" Bai Su smiled narrowly, "I'll wait!"
Jiang Xian snorted coldly and said, "When my brother-in-law comes to welcome you through the door, I will stop at the door and ask for nine hundred and ninety-nine red envelopes, otherwise I won't let him enter the door, and the sedan chair can't go out before the auspicious time!"
"You're too ruthless!" Bai Su said, smiling.
But in the eyes of Jiang Xian, who is familiar with and understands her, this smile is never so cheerful.
The eldest aunt still has something to hide from her!
Jiang Xian bit his lip, thinking about how to ask this, the carriage had arrived at the side gate of the backyard of the Datong General Military Mansion.
Mrs. Qi personally helped Mrs. Fang lift the curtain.
Jiang Xian suppressed the words he wanted to ask, got out of the carriage, and helped Mrs. Fang to the guest room next to her, while Bai Su was placed in the east wing of Jiang Xian's guest room.
Jiang Lu and Li Qian came over to greet Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang smiled and gave Li Qian a set of four treasures of the study as a meeting gift.
Li Qian suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The Jiang family is a century-old family, and such a meeting gift to my uncle inevitably seems a little neglectful.
Mrs. Fang rushed over from the capital, which probably represents the attitude of Jiang Zhenyuan and the Empress Dowager. He suspected that the Empress Dowager or Jiang Zhenyuan were not satisfied with this family business.
But Mrs. Fang's attitude was very kind, and she said with a smile: "I was in a hurry, and I didn't prepare anything good for you, I wronged you." I'll make it up to you later. ”
Li Qian said humbly: "Where is Madame?" Everything is inferior, only reading is high. The Four Treasures of the Study Room looks simple, but it is the best meeting gift. I love it. Madame bothered. ”
Very good at talking!
Mrs. Fang nodded secretly, took a sip of tea, and felt a little like a send-off.
Li Qian said goodbye elegantly.
Jiang Lu immediately sat down beside Mrs. Fang, snuggled on the big pillow without a straight face, and said, "I've been tired to death these days." I was dragged by Uncle Qi Shi to drink every day, and now I smell the wine and want to vomit. ”
Mrs. Fang smiled when she heard this, touched her son's head lovingly, and said, "I see that you are much thinner than before, I am here, and your sister's affairs will be left to me. ”
Jiang Lu nodded with a smile and asked Mrs. Fang, "Why did you come here suddenly?"
"Your father asked me to come here. Mrs. Fang explained, and then changed the topic, "Mr. Hu from the account room also came with me, and your father asked me to see you, so he urged you to meet Mr. Hu." ”
The Jiang family has been operating in Datong and Xuanfu for several generations, and naturally there are many things that are not humane to outsiders, especially the Jiang family's way of accumulating wealth, which has always been known only to the head of the Jiang family.
When Jiang Lu heard this, he thought that his mother came to confuse the eyes of outsiders, so he didn't ask too much, and said a few thoughtful words to his mother, so he got up and said goodbye, and tried to meet Mr. Hu in the account room without letting others notice.
Mrs. Qi brought Qi Shan and Qi Shuang to meet Mrs. Fang.
After Qi Sheng came to greet Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Qi set up a banquet in the flower hall to wash the dust for Mrs. Fang, and invited two female gentlemen to come into the house to tell the story.
A meal is not dispersed until the second watch.
Jiang Xian sent Mrs. Fang back to the house.
Mrs. Fang sent the servants beside her, took Jiang Xian's hand and said softly: "Baoning, this time the Empress Dowager and your uncle asked me to come to Datong with Bai Su, and let us marry you!"
"Marriage?!" Jiang Xian was like listening to a book from heaven, and for a moment his mind was empty, and he didn't understand Mrs. Fang's meaning at all.
Mrs. Fang looked at it and sighed softly, and said, "Baoning, the emperor wants to make you a princess and build a princess mansion for you in the capital, but he doesn't mention the matter of the future." The Empress Dowager felt that it was inappropriate, and after discussing with your uncle, she decided to let you marry Li Qian and stay in ......Shanxi while the emperor's edict had not yet come down."
