342 Stay away from strife
Zhan Yan didn't say it, but said: "My mother followed my father to the northwest border pass, and has been supporting each other for many years. He is not familiar with Huainan, and I am not familiar with it. With me by his side, he's better off after all. ”
At least there is a person who knows the cold and the heat, he is tired from running around, and he comes home with a hot meal; His clothes were torn, and someone sewed them for him; If he is infected with a cold or is unwell, there is also someone in front of him who will serve him soup and medicine. lonely, someone to talk to; Rejoiced, and there were people who shared the joy with him.
Husband and wife, it has to be like this. Zhan Yan felt that she should live like her parents and grandparents, and she should go through the hardest days with her husband and taste the happiest life together.
Su Yan felt a little incredible, and Zhan Yan not only agreed, but also thought that the elders were doing the right thing. In her previous life, she had the demeanor of her mother, but in this life, she is even more gentle.
"Zhan Yan, what have you heard lately? How do you feel like you've changed? ”
She looked at Su Yan with a sneer, and her heart was tangled.
Su Yan said: "We are the same age, and we are aunts and nephews, you don't even believe me, who can you trust?" ”
Zhanyan lowered his eyes.
Xiaoxiao couldn't hold it back, "Who else can there be?" At the banquet of the Dingguo Mansion last time, the county lord went to ......"
Zhan Yan snorted: "Shut up." ”
Before Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Zhan Yan interrupted her words, and stared angrily, not smiling again.
Su Yan said: "Xiaoxiao, you say." What the hell is going on? ”
Xiaoxiao made up her mind, she must have said, "Miss Xue, who grew up in Jingwang Mansion in Dingguo Mansion, fell in love with Luo Gongzi. In front of the county lord, he flattered people. Miss Li San smiled and told all the young ladies that Mr. Luo was engaged to the county lord. She actually said, 'What is it if you are engaged, what about those who are divorced if you become a parent?' Look, what are these words? After that, Miss Li San talked to the county lord a lot. When the county lord returned home, he waited for Luo Gongzi and greeted him. Luo Gongzi asked the county lord that he was going to take office, and asked if the county lord would go? ”
Su Yan began to guess in her heart what Li Biling said, half of which was comfort. Half of it is to tell Zhanyan. Luo Siyuan is so good in the imperial city. This made Zhan Yan think. I want to keep this good relationship.
Xiaoxiao looked at Zhan Yan carefully, and seeing that she was not angry, Fang said, "The county lord replied to him." If you really want me to go with you, I'll go. ”
So-yeon came back to her senses.
Bai Zhi on the side couldn't hold back, "I said that the Luo family is so good, why did they send someone to the door to marry someone." I swas. If he doesn't send someone to the door, won't he just say it casually. ”
Luo Siyuan must have returned the matter with his elders, and the Luo family sent official media to say that if the Jiang family agreed, the two families would have to discuss the marriage date.
Zhan Yan hung his head and asked, "Auntie, I am worthy of him, am I climbing high?" ”
Even Zhu Wu once said. Luo Siyuan and Su Yan are a good match, even if Zhu Wu said casually at that time, he also said that the talents of the two are compatible.
Su Yan smiled: "What kind of stupid thing is this? Your father is a first-class Pingxi Hou, you are the lord of Renhe County, you have a title, and you have a food estate, what a great honor this is, where is it not worthy of him. When a woman chooses a husband, she does not choose talent, but his virtue and sincerity. Since you have Him in your heart, do as you please. ”
All she has is the suffering of her previous life and the thoughts of the years in the nunnery.
"Zhanyan, you remember what your aunt said. No matter how much you like him, don't let love blind your eyes, your own heart. Never give ten points true, just pay seven points to him, and leave three points is your reserve and pride for yourself. ”
Bai Zhi pondered on the side and said in a low voice: "This Miss Xue is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, she wanted to marry Yan Shizi before, and now she has the idea of beating Luo Gongzi, no one deserves it." ”
The big girl in the big study, Purple Kite, carried a lantern in her hand, panting and catching up with a few people, and called the "county lord" to bow and said, "The old lady invites the county lord to go to the big study to discuss matters." ”
Zhan Yan heard from the people in the house that when Su Yan was a child, she was allowed to enter the big study.
Su Yan said warmly: "Now that you have made up your mind, don't think about it, just wait to be the bride of Master Luo." ”
smiled and said: "The county lord's wedding dress, there are still a lot of embroidery." ”
"What's the matter, go back and pick two embroiderers who are good at needlework to embroider with you. Feifei's wedding dress, because of the help of two embroiderers, was not successfully embroidered. ”
Su Yan whispered a few words of relief, and returned to the big study with the purple kite.
Bai Zhi didn't dare to go in, so she only found a second-class girl in the big study to chat.
In the big study, the four Jiang Shuhong brothers and the five Jiang Chuanhei brothers also came, either sitting or standing.
Jiang Shulin looked at the books on the bookshelf in a daze, he hadn't seen Feifei for a long time, and only then did he really taste the taste of missing, and the whole person seemed to have no strength.
He looked dumbfounded, and Jiang Xuan was even more than him, staring at one place and not blinking for a long time.
Su Yan entered the study and called "Dad", Jiang Shuncheng pointed to the embroidered pestle on the side, and she lifted her skirt and sat down.
Jiang Shuncheng swept over everyone, "Shulin! ”
Jiang Shulin came back to his senses and replied.
Jiang Chuanyuan stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Chuan, "Grandfather wants to speak, cheer up and listen." ”
Jiang Chuanchuan felt that he was sick, except for fatigue, he had no interest in anything, and he didn't want to eat food when he saw it.
Jiang Shuncheng said: "Although I am not in the court, I have heard a little about King Jing and Cui Zuoxiang. At this time, I hope that you, the children and grandchildren, will be more cautious and careful. The prince and grandson are not to be offended, and you don't need to curry favor. The sacred heart is unpredictable, who knows who the emperor will appoint as the prince, and if he is not careful, the whole family will be affected. From now on, each and every one of you should reduce the entertainment outside, and once our husband and wife leave the Imperial City, you must remember: do not get close to any prince or grandson, and do not offend any prince or grandson, and if anyone is invited, you must find an excuse to turn it away. In particular, you should stay away from the three families of King Wu, King Jing, and King Ning, and as for the side families, you can not be close to them. ”
Several young grandsons looked at each other, and Jiang Chuanliang said: "Grandfather, the prince of Ning still wants to be good friends with me last time......
Jiang Shuhong stared sharply, "Didn't you hear Grandfather's words?" ”
Jiang Chuanliang's face was timid, and he didn't dare to say it anymore.
Jiang Shuncheng glanced at it and said, "If you don't understand it today, you will understand the reason and intention of what I said tomorrow." Now you are outside, whoever you are, you are one person, and you represent one house and all people. The prince and the grandson compete for the heir, if your luck is good, the person who supports you will win and be prosperous and rich. If you lose, it will affect the whole door.
Listen, we can't get involved in their fight, and don't think about choosing one or the other behind your back. They are all very smart, and they want to be wall grass, but I'm afraid they won't be able to. Since ancient times, I thought that how many of those who made wall grass ended well? ”
So-yeon was speechless. This point is the same as Jiang Shuncheng's choice in his previous life. At that time, Jiang Shuncheng didn't choose anyone, but now it's still the case.
Jiang Shuncheng said: "The eldest child, the second child, and the third child stayed, and the others went back separately and took my words to heart." I don't know how to deal with it, there are so many brothers, and the heirs and heirs of the grandchildren are all calm, and we must learn to help the younger brothers, and the prosperity of one door is not something that one or two can do. ”
The two responded.
Jiang Shulin led several nephews out of the study.
Let the three brothers stay, but let him go.
Seeing that several of his grandchildren had left, Jiang Shulin returned to the study.
Jiang Shukun said in a low voice: "Dad, the sixth brother is still outside. ”
"Let him in."
Jiang Shulin has returned to the study.
Jiang Shuncheng said: "The words behind this are regarded as the gossip of our father and son, and we can remember it in our hearts after listening to it, but we must not say it, and let it rot in the stomach." ”
The four of them nodded in response.
Jiang Shuncheng's expression was solemn, he swept over his sons, and asked, "Tell me, who does the emperor intend to appoint as the prince?" ”
The brothers didn't think that Jiang Shuncheng would ask this if they were left behind.
Jiang Shulin was the youngest, and immediately said: "I think King Jing has the greatest grasp, and I heard that seventy percent of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty support him. ”
Jiang Shuncheng smiled slightly.
Jiang Shupeng said: "King Jing has committed a big taboo, the more people support him, the more the emperor is afraid that he will not tolerate him." ”
Jiang Shuncheng nodded.
Jiang Shuhong pondered for a moment and said: "I look at the recent court, the tide is surging, and the emperor seems to like King Wu. ”
When Su Yan was young, Jiang Shuncheng loved to discuss matters with his colleagues in the study, and since he became a good minister, he only discussed with his children and grandchildren here. In doing so, you can teach your sons to judge things.
Jiang Shukun said: "King Ning's power is not small, and King Ning is more cautious and calm than King Jing. ”
Jiang Shuncheng exhaled, "You guys are all right. He looked up.
Jiang Shuhong said: "Daddy, don't worry, the guards around are all loyal servants in our house, and even the big girl and the girl have been repulsed." Outside are all nurseries for three generations who have served my family. ”
Jiang Shuncheng saw that there was no pretense, so he said to Su Yan: "Talk about the Shangyuan Festival, how is the emperor's vein?" ”
Su Yan nodded, "If you get sick from hard work, the oil and embers will wither, if you recuperate, you can live for another half a year, if not, it will be difficult to survive until the beginning of summer." ”
After hearing this, all of them were surprised, and it was even more difficult to hide their surprise.
Jiang Shuncheng said: "Resigning for my father was originally a temptation, but if the emperor agreed, the Jiang family would have no worries." The emperor's grace gave the ninth princess to marry the Jiang family as a wife. It can be seen that the emperor has no intention of removing my Jiang family, but this does not mean that the next monarch will agree to treat our Jiang family well. ”
He got up, and his sons stood up, and he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down, turned and walked to the bookshelf, and continued: "The court is in crisis now. If King Wu ascends the throne, King Jing is powerful, and it is difficult to predict whether he can restrain King Jing. King Jing is ambitious, and I am afraid that he cannot be willing to be a prince. Judging from the current situation, only the emperor can restrain King Jing. If this is the case, King Jing's faction will be in great trouble. The emperor is the smartest man in the world, and no one and nothing can hide from him. ”
