Chapter 202: Marriage
The Jiang family, which had been proud for hundreds of years, finally declined, and Emperor Qingfeng also breathed a bad breath for the ancestors, but he was also very happy.
The officials of the DPRK and China saw Song Huaijin's strong favor and ruthlessness and decisiveness, and no one dared to provoke him.
On this day, Wu took Ji Xin into the palace to talk to the Empress Dowager Li, and heard the Empress Dowager Li mention that the wife of a military general surnamed Geng Mingchao died last year, and he wanted to continue to be filial piety for a year this year, but his parents died early, and there was no relatives to help Zhang Luo, plus he didn't stay in Jinling City for a long time, and he didn't know where to find a suitable candidate for a while.
Empress Dowager Li looked at Ji Xin, took Wu's hand and said: "This Geng Chao has no way to ask for help, these days are very annoying, the emperor sees that he has the heart to be the master for him, but the emperor doesn't know which family's daughter has a good character, ask me to help take a look, you also know that I have been hiding outside for so many years, where do I know this, tell you today, you pay attention, if there is a suitable remember to tell me." ”
Wu Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "What you said, if I really know who has a good character and has not yet made a family appointment, I am naturally willing to fulfill this good marriage." ”
Although Empress Dowager Li was a little disappointed when she heard her words, she still smiled and talked to her.
It's just that Ji Xin was a little nervous when he heard this, and he glanced at Wu Shi a few times, and stopped talking.
When they came out of Renshou Palace, the Wu family was going to take Ji Xin out of the palace, and they didn't want the queen to pass them over again, so the Wu family had no choice but to take Ji Xin over to ask for peace.
entered Kunning Palace to greet the queen, and the queen smiled and helped Wu and Ji Xin up, and looked at Ji Xin a few times. The smile became more and more kind: "There is something to discuss when I invite the old lady to come over today, my mother's family has a cousin, that is the second son of the Cao family, the most gentle and kind person, but the fate is not good, my cousin-in-law died two years ago, and did not leave a son and a half daughter...... My cousin was worried about his cousin-in-law and had no intention of marrying another wife, but after these two years, it was all right, and he also intended to marry a good wife to help with family affairs. When I thought about it, I thought of Miss Xin. I begged cheekily, and I don't know what the old lady means? ”
Wu Shi hurriedly got up and said: "The original queen shouldn't have said anything about her parents, but my aunt is not her parents." Where did this Lord's. I'll wait until I go back and talk to her parents before I get back. ”
The queen smiled: "This is also the way it should be." In this way, please bother the old lady. ”
Wu also smiled: "It's a matter of Xin girl's life, and I'm willing to handle it more." ”
Ji Xin became more and more frightened when he heard this. Standing beside Wu Shi and bowing his head and not daring to say more, Wu Shi smiled and gossiped with the queen for a while before leaving.
As soon as she left the palace, Wu's face was not very good-looking, and Ji Xin didn't dare to say a word when she followed her.
It wasn't until he got home that Wu Shi got out of the car and took Ji Xin back to the room, and then pulled Ji Xin and asked, "Xin girl, let me ask you a word, do you still mean to remarry?" ”
Ji Xin was stunned.
Wu Shi hurriedly eased his emotions and smiled: "You also watched, your identity is different now, this door-to-door marriage is naturally more, now is the beginning, there will be more in the future, if you have the heart to remarry, let's pick the good one, if you don't have that heart, you will reject these people as soon as possible, and it is also called the courtship." ”
Ji Xin lowered his head in shame when he heard this, and Wu Shi only urged: "I can't see that talking like a mosquito, this is in your own home, in front of your own relatives, if you have anything you can't say, just say it, and your aunt will call the shots for you." ”
Only then did Ji Xin hang his head slightly and whispered: "Naturally, I want to remarry, I am still young now, and I have not relied on my parents and brothers for the rest of my life." ”
"That's what should be done." Wu Shi praised: "Since you want to remarry, then make a decision early, you see, the queen mother also mentioned it today, and the queen also mentioned it, if you shouldn't come down, it is inevitable that their faces will be bad." ”
"Please also ask my aunt to take ideas." Hearing this, Ji Xin got up and saluted: "Son, everything listens to my aunt." ”
Wu Shi pondered for a while: "Let's wait, I'll discuss with your uncle and your father and mother before making a decision." ”
After Ji Xin heard this, she thanked her again, Wu Shi pulled her to sit down, she had drunk some tea in the palace, but it was useless to eat anything, but now she was hungry, so she asked someone to bring some snacks and come over to talk to Ji Xin while eating.
In the evening, Wu told Ji Yi about the daytime and Ji Xin's considerations, and asked Ji Yi, "What do you think?" Ming'er, you go and ask the eldest brother and sister-in-law if they have any ideas. ”
Ji Yi nodded: "Let's sleep first, and ask when I have time." ”
Speaking of this, Wu Shi said: "Speaking of which, the old seven and eight of our family have all been admitted to the Jinshi, and they are not young anymore, so they should marry a wife after being awarded the official this time, and I have to show them as soon as possible." ”
Wu Shi thought of seeing Ji Wei and Ji Jinxiang more and more joyful, and even more energetic, just seeing Ji Yi difficult, he didn't bother him, and thought about it alone in bed, thinking about what kind of daughter-in-law to say to these two little ones.
A few days later, the Jiang family was convicted, almost all the men were executed, the women were sent to the Jiaofang Division as prostitutes, and all the slaves in the family were sold again, and after a few days of hard work, the masters of the Jiang family died and became slaves, and those slaves of the Jiang family also began to be sold in the human market.
Ji Zhong was worried about the few people who were good with him, and when he sold them, he brought money to buy those people back, and then gave them a deed to get them out of their nationality.
These people who have a good relationship with Ji Zhong are all shrewd, and the money and property of the original family are not in their names.
And in the past few days, Ji Zhong and the Lin family discussed it, and felt that they inevitably had limited knowledge, and they didn't know many things, so it was better to hand over Ji Xin's marriage to Ji Yi and Wu's, so the two of them entrusted Ji Yi, who was an uncle, to choose a son-in-law for Ji Xin.
Wu Shi knew about this and discussed it with Ji Songxian, and borrowed Jinyiwei's spies to inquire about many people, not only looking for a husband for Ji Xin, but also looking for a daughter-in-law for Ji Wei and Ji Jin.
A few days later, Ji Songxian took a number of rosters and went to Ji's house, waited into Wu's room, took off the thin cloak outside and handed it to the girl, and smiled at Wu's: "Why is the weather so cold today, it's so windy outside, I went out and felt that I was wearing thin, so I went back and added a cloak." ”
"Looks like it's going to rain." Ji Xin smiled, got up and closed the window.
After Ji Songxian and Ji Xin met, they sat down and took the booklet to Wu's family: "I have also explored it in the past few days, speaking of which, there are many officials in Jinling City who have no wives, and they are also a good match with the eldest sister, I looked at it carefully for a long time, and I felt that the General Geng mentioned by the Queen Mother was very good." ”
"How?" Ji Xin was too ashamed to speak, but Wu was extremely concerned.
Ji Songxian smiled: "Let's talk about the queen's cousin Cao family second master first, this second master of the Cao family is a rare infatuated person, and he is also an elegant person, his wife and he are in love, and the husband and wife are very affectionate after they get married, but this second wife Cao's life is not very good, and she has been pregnant for several years, but her pregnancy is a little bad, and as a result, she had a difficult birth during childbirth, and one corpse and two lives were gone. ”
"This Second Master Cao is a lover." Wu Shi also felt a little nostalgic when he heard it: "In this way, this Second Master Cao attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which is a rare good match." ”
Ji Xin also felt that Second Master Cao was very good, at least a thousand times stronger than that Wei Su, and couldn't help but say: "What my aunt said is that it is indeed rare to value love and righteousness like this." ”
Ji Songxian sneered: "Don't just look at the surface, others say that he is rare, but I think he is not a good match for a big sister." ”
Seeing that Wu Shi and Ji Xin both looked at her, Ji Songxian patiently explained: "Second Master Cao is a good match for his wife, but not necessarily for others, first, they all say that love is not long-lived, I have seen Cao Erye once, it is about excessive sadness and damage, it doesn't look like a longevity, second, Cao Erye is a rare and elegant person, what he likes is poetry, brother, chess, calligraphy and painting, his first wife and him have similar interests, but the big sister ...... It's not that I don't like what I say, but I'm telling the truth, and the big sister is all good, but this writing is a little worse. ”
Ji Xin was not angry, and smiled slightly: "I'm already worse, I read the poems written by my sister, as well as the paintings I painted, and I can't envy it, but if I want to write and paint, I can't do it, but I just know a few words, and I don't want to be blind." ”
Ji Songxian knew that Ji Xin was kind, so he had something to say, and said angrily: "Three, this living person will never be able to fight for the dead, the relationship between Cao Erye and his wife is so good, it is inevitable to compare it when marrying another one, I will always feel that the later one is not as good as the first, naturally I can't be a husband and wife, and marrying such a person as a stepfamily will inevitably be uneasy." ”
After she finished speaking, Ji Xin pondered for a while and gritted her teeth: "What my sister said is very true, it turned out that I was not as thoughtful as my sister, this time, I thank my sister for thinking about me like this." ”
Wu Shi had already hugged Ji Songxian into his arms: "My son, it's hard for you to think about things so clearly at such a young age, it's better than many years old, I really don't know what to say." ”
Wu praised Ji Songxian for a while, let go of her and asked, "What about General Geng?" It's all dead wives, why do you say he's suitable? ”
Ji Songxian smiled: "General Geng started at the end of Wei, his first wife was originally a country woman, illiterate in big characters, even if it is, but he is the most cowardly and indisputable, and he has no temperament and no ability, and he can't even sort out his family, that's it, General Geng remembered that his wife suffered a lot with him after he was developed, but he was not embarrassed by his wife, but he was not bad to his wife, he was a rare and responsible husband, and General Geng did not have the common problem of people today to have a strong face, he was thoughtful and clever. ”
Seeing Wu's nod, Ji Songxian continued: "General Geng and his wife don't have any deep feelings, they just have a sense of responsibility, and his wife will go when he goes, he will go after he has finished his filial piety for the family offspring, and it is common sense to marry another one, his first wife is like that, as long as the latter is not confused, it is better than the first, and he is not afraid of comparison, and besides, he has no feelings, as long as the latter is considerate and thoughtful to him, and handles the family affairs properly, General Geng will naturally read it well, and after a long time, he has long forgotten the first lady, has a son and a half daughter, and what is the difference between it and the original match.
