429: Family affairs settled
It has been more than half a month since the news of the marriage between the Jin family and the Kong family came out.
This intermarriage, which is of great cross-era significance to the outside world, has caused countless discussions among the people.
Even though the Jin family, as the leader of the Shi clan, is extremely powerful and has been a hegemonic existence for a hundred years, no one will say that the young lady of the Kong family is not worthy of the son of the Jin family.
The common people are the common people, but the Confucian family is the Confucian family, and it has never been comparable.
Even the Jin family's move was secretly hated by countless noble scholars - don't continue your customs and ancestral teachings of not intermarrying, what are you robbing of with us scholars? What's the fun? There is no so-called gentlemanly demeanor at all! It's not cold at all!
In addition to holding a grudge, he saved a darker hope - hoping that this family affair, which had not yet been officially announced to the public, would happen to go wrong, and then it would be coincidentally yellow.
But hope is only prayer, and what should come is still coming.
Early this morning, the Jin family released a positive tone -- regarding the relationship between the son of the Jin family and Miss Kong, the two elders have already negotiated, and they will be hired at the end of this month.
But it wasn't this that really caused an uproar.
What really caught everyone off guard was ...... What was clearly announced by the Jin family was actually the family affair of the second son of Jin and Miss Kong!
It's not the eldest son who will inherit the position of the head of the Jin family in the future, but the second son who just returned to the Jin family the year before last?!
It is said that his biological mother is from Xiling, and he was born with a pair of blue eyes of a different race!
Now, the capital seems to have exploded everywhere.
All sorts of shocks. All kinds of feelings, all kinds of suspicions, and all kinds of regretful words are endless.
"Isn't it a mistake? Why did you suddenly become the second son?"
"I only said that the two families intended to get married, and I didn't say which son it was......"
"But, how can the young lady of the Kong family be rationed to the son? How did the Kong family agree? β
"That's right......"
"Who is the Kong family? When did the Confucian family care about their background, some of the women of the Confucian family were the latter, and there were also those who married commoners...... Xu is this second son, what is so special that Mr. Kong takes a fancy to, right? β
"That's what I said, but that's so unexpected!"
Streets and alleys, restaurants and tea shops, those who understand or those who don't understand. You have to follow the wind and say a few words. Expressing their opinions to prove that they are well-informed and at the forefront of gossip.
For a time, the second son of the Jin family and Miss Kong. It seems to have occupied the first place on the hot search list in Beijing.
The level of discussion was unusually hot. So much so that as soon as they went out in the morning, Fang Da and Fang Er, who were going to go to the restaurant to start a day's work, were directly bounced back-
The two of them rushed into the house as if their tails had been burned. Even Fang Er's calm and steady image that he had built up for a long time collapsed in an instant.
When the brothers rushed to the front hall, Zhuang was teaching the new rough maid Xiaolan what needs to be cleaned frequently and what things to be careful when wiping. Unexpectedly, he heard Fang Da's deafening sentence "Godmother, something is wrong", and he was so shocked that he almost didn't get the feather duster out of his hand.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go to a restaurant? Zhuang turned around and asked with a solemn face, "But something happened in the restaurant?" β
I heard that a few days ago, several big restaurants in the city went wrong, and the trouble was extremely sensational, although they have always been innocent in business, and they never cover up when there are problems to solve in time, and they think that they have not left any handles worth mentioning, but in this case, Zhuang is always a little uneasy.
for fear that wicked people will come to the door to make trouble.
Jiang Ying called her feelings 'persecution paranoia'.
"No, it's not a restaurant! It's Sakura! Fang Dafang shook his head vigorously.
"The news of Ah Ying's marriage to the son of the Jin family has spread in the city!"
ββ¦β¦ Wasn't it spread earlier? Zhuang was puzzled, and because he learned from Liang Ping that there was a solution, he was like Jiang Ying, and he had already let go of his heart.
"No, this time it's the news from the Jin family personally!"
"......" Zhuang was dizzy when he heard this, looking at the excited faces of the two brothers one by one, and there was a feeling that he couldn't grasp the point at all.
In the end, it was Xiaolan, the rough maid who had just been invited in, couldn't help but explain: "Why doesn't Mrs. know that Miss Kong is going to marry the second son of the Jin family!" When I came here this morning, I heard the newsβ"
She also followed the group of people to mix in a few words, and bragged off that she was selected to work in the Liang family, and she had the opportunity to meet Miss Kong!
Although for the Jin family, the Kong family is Miss Kong's serious maiden family, it is said that Miss Kong still lives with the Liang family and his wife in Yushu Hutong most of the time.
"Yes, yes, it's the second son!" Fang Dafang Er hurriedly agreed.
No wonder Fang Cai always felt that he didn't get to the point, it turns out that the problem is here!
"Second son......" Zhuang was stunned for a moment.
"Mrs. Liang didn't know before, right?" Xiaolan asked with a strange expression.
Wasn't it possible to discuss such a big matter before?
It seems that the Kong family is in full charge.
Zhuang didn't care about her speculation, and after coming back to his senses, he hung joy on his face, put the feather duster on the table, and strode to the inner courtyard with his skirt.
She naturally knew the news that Jin Qi was going to marry Jiang Ying, but she didn't expect it to be so fast!
I thought that I would at least wait until this obscure family affair with the eldest son of the Jin family was resolved before I could talk about this matter again!
I didn't expect it...... What a move!
Yes, the Jin family originally only said that they wanted to marry the Kong family, but they didn't say which son it was, but the world thought that only the eldest son of the Jin family could match Miss Kong, so they always regarded the object as Jin Mi - and in this way, there was no such thing as denying it!
The Kong family, Sister Sakura. All of them were cleaned up at once, and no one's reputation was dusted by this.
It's just that the world thinks it is wrong and thinks in the wrong direction from the beginning.
It's really the best of both worlds!
When Zhuang came to Jiang Yingyuan, she was staying in the study, sitting at the desk with a pen and drawing something on the white paper, with a very serious appearance with her eyebrows lowered.
"Sister Sakura!"
The door of the study was not closed, and Jiang Ying, who was concentrating on drawing, was startled by this sonorous and powerful voice, and her body shook. The brush in his hand made a long ink mark on the paper.
It's broken. It's going to be redrawn again.
Turning around in a bit of a panic, he met Zhuang's big face that was red because of too much excitement.
Jiang Ying thought worriedly: The nurse's face is really getting bigger and bigger......
Zhuang didn't know her sorrow, and had come to her quickly. He asked happily, "Do you know that Mr. Kong came up with that idea earlier." What's the idea?! β
"......" Jiang Ying was shocked by her posture. He shook his head with a sluggish expression.
"Steal beams and change pillars, draw wages from the bottom of the kettle!"
What kind of mess, and learned to use idioms?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Suzhou City. Ask Liyuan.
After Han Chengji took over the position of the head of the Han family, he never moved out of Wenli Garden.
At this time, the night was already deep, and the stone lamps set up in the pear forest at intervals of ten or so paces exuded a faint light, barely illuminating the road under their feet.
Han Chengji had a jade crown in his hair, wore a white deep coat, and walked slowly in the pear forest path with his hands in his hands.
"The Jin family still hasn't made any moves?" He spoke, and there was not a hint of emotion in his voice.
"Not yet." Amo, dressed in black, lowered his head and followed behind him, saying, "It seems that there is infighting." β
"Infighting?"
"When Fengcheng was captured, the eyes, ears and message transmission network set up by the Jin family to go to the capital were all controlled-according to the investigation of his subordinates, it should have been done by the second son of Jin before." Ah Mo replied: "And three days ago, the news came to Beijing, but the Jin family has still not moved, this is obviously not Jin Qingyun's usual style, presumably he was temporarily tied hand and foot." β
Han Chengji still looked expressionless, and walked forward without hurrying.
Ah Mo hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Doctor Peng has told me that it is best for the master to take medicine and rest before the two watches - when did you have a recent illness...... It's getting longer and longer. β
Han Chengji continued to walk as if he hadn't heard his words.
Amo was a little anxious.
"You have been working too hard lately, Dr. Peng has repeatedly reminded you, you must not be too tired, it is better to slow down the affairs over there in Fengcheng, the movements of the Jin family are watched by their subordinates - you can rest for a while."
This situation is no longer what it was at the beginning, and the master's plan in the past two years has not been in vain.
Now anyone can see that the world has become divided.
Even though there is too much incomprehension and even infamy because of this, the Han family is no longer the Han family before in the hearts of the world...... But since it is the master's decision, then he will follow it unconditionally.
Putting aside these so-called false names, it is indisputable that the Suzhou Han family is no longer subordinate to the Liancheng Jin family.
If the only difference should be that under the premise of having the same purpose, the Han family only wants the world, while the Jin family wants to keep a good name in addition to the world-so far, waiting for a suitable time.
The destruction of Fengcheng is the time to send it to them.
Sooner or later, this balance will be broken, and the master has always been unwilling to wait.
But every step in the future is bound to be thrilling.
Can the master's body really be able to bear it?
It wasn't that he hadn't tried to dissuade Dr. Peng together, but it was all in vain.
Again, for example, now.
"Is she okay?"
It was another question without warning, but Amo had long been accustomed to it.
Since he went to the capital to meet her last year, the master has to ask her news almost every day - and only then will he faintly reveal a little ordinary atmosphere.
But according to Dr. Peng, this is not a good thing.
Ah Mo sighed silently, and after a pause, he replied, "The Soul Leaving Grass has not been found yet, but the condition seems to have stabilized a little." β
"What about the rest?"
If the Jin family really has internal strife, even if it is not known to outsiders, it should at least have a result.
ββ¦β¦ The second day of the next month. Ah Lu hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to hide it after all.
That's probably a good thing.
"Marriage." Han Chengji repeated softly.
Do you still want to get married?
I didn't expect him to be able to do this.
"Master...... Let's go back. Mo couldn't help but remind again.
Han Chengji still didn't respond, but turned back.
Amo hurriedly stepped back to the side and moved out of the way.
The master and servant walked back, and the surroundings were quiet, and only the sound of the night breeze blowing the autumn leaves could be heard.
Looking up, it was a great night sky, full of dazzling eyes.
"Am I wrong?"
At first glance, Amo thought he was having auditory hallucinations.
But when he raised his head, he saw the cold and lonely back in front of him as if waiting for his answer, so he lowered his voice and replied, "The master will not be wrong." After a pause, he added: "In this troubled world, someone needs to stand up and settle down. It's just that the means are different, and there is no right or wrong. β
Bringing the world together?
No, that's not what he was referring to.
Fighting for the world, for him, has never been interesting.
It's just that he doesn't know what to do other than that.
Because as soon as you stop, it is a pain that eats into the bones.
And he didn't know when he would go to such a road......
β¦β¦
Jiang Ying almost didn't fall asleep this night.
She felt like she was in a dream.
She is about to marry Brother Jin?
Although Brother Jin said that he had mentioned it to her during the Qixi Festival, and that night after returning to Beijing, he deliberately reminded her to prepare in front of the gate, but when the matter really came to the fore, her relationship with Jin Qi was confirmed by the whole world, and she could even introduce herself to outsiders as Jin Qi's fiancΓ©e when she went out in the future...... Ahem, she couldn't have done that, but just thinking about it was exciting enough!
It's also to blame her, she didn't listen to Brother Jin's arrangement, she didn't 'prepare' well, and now she is so excited that she can't even sleep.
You must know that since she got this disease, she has become a copy of Liang Wenqing, a girl who sleeps on the bed and can't get up if no one calls her......
In the middle of the night, I was consumed by these rambling thoughts.
When I finally felt a little sleepy, a faint touch of sky white appeared in the east outside the window.
Jiang Ying felt that she had just closed her eyes, and before she could squint for a moment, she was woken up by Yun Li.
"Girl, can't you sleep lazy today...... Mrs. Fang Cai said in the kitchen that Mr. Kong would be coming over later, and there were many things to discuss! Yunli's voice was filled with joyful excitement.
Just yesterday, within a day, she learned that her girl was going to marry the second son of Jin, and she was a wife, and outsiders also very unanimously and vaguely thought that her girl was 'married' - it took a long time to understand that the original kind Mr. Kong was actually the world-famous Mr. Kong!
These shocks are too great for her......! (To be continued.) )
