Chapter 009: The Superior Candidate
The eldest lady went back to the room, and as soon as she sat down, the second lady Jiang Yanyun couldn't help but ask: "Mother, how do you see the third lady ......?"
The eldest lady also frowned, these three young ladies are indeed a little wrong, aren't they very arrogant in the future? Why are you still so polite and courteous today? Could it be that after this accident, I was treated with some cold eyes, so I changed my mind?
The eldest lady picked up the teacup, thought for a while, and said: "I heard that something happened this time, the old lady was angry, and thought that the three girls were wronged, so they were small in front of us." She said, sighing, "We have done everything we can, and whether she is willing to help with this is her business." â
Jiang Yanyun nodded, thinking that she would go to Beijing to see each other in a few days, she became nervous: "Mother, I heard that the ladies in the boudoir in the capital are all fashionable to use snail dai thrush, which is elegant and noble, this time I want to go to see Chen Gongzi, I can't still use that cheesy copper dai, right?"
Her voice became quieter and quieter, but her anger did not decrease by half.
The eldest lady raised her eyes and looked at her, and sighed deeply: "This snail Dai is a tribute in the palace, and the concubines who are not high-ranking may be able to use it, where can I find it for you?" What do you do all day long? â
The eldest lady had already said this, but Jiang Yanyun still didn't give up, reached out to hold the eldest lady's hand, and begged softly: "Mother......"
was shouted by Jiang Yanyun like this, and the eldest lady's heart softened, but she still said with a calm face: "Your father is a loose person, and even the official is donated, who doesn't know that the patriarch in charge of our Jiang Mansion is not in the big house, but in the hands of the second master?" I never wanted you to marry into the Chen family in a beautiful way, and I would save myself from being laughed at by the people in the second room in the future. â
Saying that, the eldest lady's face became even more ugly: "Your second uncle serves diligently, and he should be admired." But your second aunt, tsk......"
Jiang Yanyun also sank her face with the eldest lady, but after thinking about it for a moment, she smiled and held the eldest lady's hand tightly, and said, "Mother, because of this, I can't go to Beijing this time to see the slightest difference." Nowadays, there are not many marriageable sons in this noble and famous family, the son of the Chen family can be counted as one, the young master Pei in the Yiguo Mansion is counted as one, and the Zhao Gongzi of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is counted as one. I heard that the Pei family has a high vision, and the young master Pei has a strange temper, not like a master who is easy to serve. Zhao Gongzi of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has always been **, who can accept his heart from the ordinary girl's family? If you get married, you will inevitably suffer a lot of grievances. So this Chen Gongzi is a top candidate. â
Jiang Yanyun looked at the eldest lady step by step, and the eldest lady finally nodded in agreement: "To say, such an opportunity is really rare." Your father is not good at anything else, he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, so he was fortunate to get acquainted with Mr. Chen, who was working abroad, and the two hit it off at first sight, so they talked about the marriage of their children. Although your eldest sister married well, her eldest aunt was uncontrollable, and she accepted two aunts in less than a year after getting married. Rao is your eldest sister, no matter how high-minded she is, she can't withstand these tribulations. â
As soon as she mentioned the eldest lady Jiang Yuanling, who had already been married, there were tears in the eldest lady's eyes. The second young lady Jiang Yanyun also tugged at the cuffs of the eldest lady with tears in her eyes, choked up and said: "Mother, don't be sad anymore, Yun'er will definitely be able to marry into the Chen family smoothly, and we can afford to talk in the future, and let the eldest brother-in-law snub the eldest sister again......"
Even at this time, Jiang Yanyun still did not leave her marriage for half a word.
The eldest lady burst into tears, but her eyes gradually became firm.
Jiang Yanyun lay on the lap of the eldest lady and sobbed, and glanced up silently, just in time to catch a glimpse of this scene. She smiled in her heart, because she knew that her mother had understood the importance of this meeting, so her mother would definitely be able to find a way to help her get the snail Dai she wanted.
Not long after the second lady left, Yan's mother walked in hurriedly, and happened to bump into the eldest lady's red eyes, and couldn't help but be startled, and what she wanted to say was temporarily swallowed back.
Yan's mother is the old mother next to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is not taboo about her, she took out the brocade silk and wiped her tears, and sighed: "Yuanling's life is bitter, and I am also guilty of being a mother." Fortunately, I still have a second girl, no matter what, I have to let Yanyun marry into the Chen family, I have already hurt Yuanling, and I can't wronged Yanyun anymore......"
As she spoke, the eldest lady's tears came out again.
Yan's mother looked at her, her heart was also sour, and she wanted to go forward to persuade her, but she didn't know how to persuade her.
The eldest aunt's name is Zheng Tingxuan, and she is the only son of Zheng Jian, the Marquis of Xin'an. At the beginning, the eldest lady didn't want to marry Zheng Tingxuan, the reason was that Zheng Tingxuan's temperament was really uninhibited. But the eldest lady has always insisted, saying that Zheng Tingxuan's father Zheng Jian was the founding father, and the new emperor was diligent and diligent, and he would be able to posthumously be awarded the title in time, so he insisted on marrying the eldest lady.
Facts have proved that the eldest lady is far-sighted, but after half a year, the new emperor really ordered the great seal of the elders. Dozens of veterans were able to be crowned marquis, and naturally the late Zheng Jian was posthumously crowned as the marquis of Xin'an. Xin'an Hou only has Zheng Tingxuan, his only son, and when the time comes, he will naturally be the eldest aunt.
But what the eldest lady didn't expect was that after the eldest aunt got married, she still couldn't contain her heart, and her mind was not on the eldest lady at all.
The eldest lady has been married for more than two years, not only does she have no children under her knees, but her health is getting worse and worse, major and minor illnesses are uninterrupted, and the whole person has become a medicine jar. Such a weak body, even if you are pregnant with a child, may not be able to withstand the pain of childbirth......
What's even more infuriating is that the two aunts of the eldest aunt are actually better than the sows in the countryside, this one just gave birth to the other and got pregnant again, and in two years, they actually added three sons and two girls to the Zheng family.
The eldest lady also regretted it, but what can she do if she regrets it? The eldest lady has obviously suffered all kinds of grievances, but she still has to bow down and be small, for fear of being abandoned by the eldest aunt in the name of childlessness.
The eldest lady was always sad when she thought of these things, she hid her face and choked for a while, and finally calmed down before she spoke again: "In the past, when I was not married, my mother often took me to Beijing, and at that time I was very close to Mrs. Xing in Beijing, and she must remember me." You go down to make arrangements, I will go to Beijing in advance to meet Mrs. Xing. â
Yan's mother sighed softly, and although she nodded, her expression was a little worried.
Mrs. Xing is the wife of the Taifu, and her daughter entered the palace as a virtuous concubine, and was deeply favored by the saints, and Mrs. Xing was also named the second-grade lady.
The eldest lady has indeed had several acquaintances with Mrs. Xing, but after all these years, Mrs. Xing has become more and more beautiful, will there still be the eldest lady of this Jiang Mansion in her eyes?
Yan's mother thought secretly, but she didn't dare to say it, and seeing that the eldest lady's face was also a little anxious, she knew that the eldest lady was trying her best to achieve the marriage between the second lady and the Chen family.
Mother Yan was silent for a while, grinned, and said, "The eldest lady doesn't have to worry too much, the second lady is destined to bring good fortune, and there will always be a day when she will be rich and rich, and from the current point of view, isn't everything smooth?" â
The eldest lady raised her eyebrows: "Shun lĂŹ? â
"yes!" Mother Yan smiled deeper, and then whispered a few words in the eldest lady's ear, and the eldest lady immediately smiled, "Really...... Did the third lady really agree? â
Mother Yan smiled meaningfully and nodded.
