Chapter 45 Marriage
Jiang Erye's last sentence made Jiang Luyao cry and laugh, and he glanced at his father fiercely, "Do you know what to do?" โ
"Your father is quite accurate in seeing people, you see, I've been out there for so long, and I haven't suffered a loss, who is good or bad, I can know it when I smell it." Second Master Jiang spread his hands regretfully, "I can't give this to you, I was born." โ
Jiang Luyao punched her father and said, "Who wants to learn?" Are you a dog? Still with your nose? โ
"Alright, alright." Jiang Erye rubbed his daughter's head, "You finally stopped crying, if you keep crying, how do you look like a girl who is ready to marry?" โ
"Daddy...... You are not the prince of the Hou Mansion yet. โ
"Your father has been squatting in the cell for several days, and the emperor has said that he is grateful to me for speaking up, and there is no virtuous person in the Ming Dynasty, who has my virtuous?"
Jiang Erye stinks, he didn't want to be the son of the world before, but now there is hope, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that being the son of the world is very promising, there will be more silver, the status will be high, and there will be more helpers when fighting. "I used to play with bugs, and many people said that I didn't learn anything, but now I play with bugs, and I have taste, understand?"
Jiang Luyao pushed Jiang Erye, "Cheng, you have taste, and if you have taste, you have to go and freshen up, I have passed this level, and my mother has passed that level...... Hmph, don't think too beautifully if you want to pass easily. โ
"Hehe, I've got a trick." Jiang Erye took out several silver tickets from his arms and threw them at Jiang Luyao, "Look, it was earned by your father and me, your mother was happy to see the silver tickets, by the way, there is also a piece of land lost to me by the prince of Qin, just in the south of the Yangtze River, where your mother wants to build Zhuangzi the most, I am not going to prison, I am going to earn silver." โ
Jiang Luyao had another feeling of being struck by lightning, the denomination on the silver ticket was very large, and she muttered, "Where did you come from?" โ
"The prince of Qin lost to me, he is not good at gambling money at all, when pushing pai gow, I don't want to go too far, and let him go many times, but he still loses, hey, Yaoyao, after you marry him in the future, you have to take care of the silver, with his gambling skills is to send money to people. You have to learn this from your mother...... By the way, you have to treat him more fiercely than me, or I am unbalanced. โโโฆโฆโ
Jiang Erye left happily, Jiang Luyao didn't come back for a long time, and his father rarely touched the gamble, saying that he had no technical content...... The main reason is that Dad's luck is really bursting, others lose nine out of ten bets, and Dad wins nine out of ten, and the one that loses is still indiscriminate.
Xu can win no matter how he gambles, Jiang Erye has never found gambling interesting, and the prince of Qin may have thought about letting Jiang Erye at first, the most reluctant...... Jiang Luyao could think of Zhao Duoze's face when he was hit, it was so miserable, just like the group of people in the casino,
The silver won back by gambling is not coming from the right way, which will cause a lot of trouble, so Jiang Luyao never thought of using her father's talent, nor did she tell her father, so Jiang Erye only gambled a lot of money at that time, and the gambling god was alive.
Jiang Luyao sympathized with the prince of Qin who was locked up with his father, and his spirit and * were seriously damaged.
โฆโฆ
Some people are happy, naturally some people are sad, Jiang Erye returned to the Yongning Hou Mansion with high spirits, and the rest of the people in the room were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, and everyone knew that even if the sky fell, it would not stop Jiang Erye from ascending to the position of the prince.
Uncle Jiang, the third master, and the fourth master's expressions were as if they had swallowed Coptis chinensis, and their internal organs were soaked in bitter water, and they couldn't do anything except see Jiang Erye have an accident.
The emperor seems to be particularly aware of the people's feelings, and the day after Jiang Erye returned to the house, he ordered the eunuch to pass on the decree and summon the Yongning Marquis and his wife and Jiang Erye into the palace to face the saint.
Jiang Luyao decorated his father from top to bottom, reminding him not to make two mistakes in front of the emperor, Jiang Erye nodded and agreed, and muttered to himself, how could he make two on such an occasion?
I wanted to entrust my grandmother to take care of Jiang Erye, but who knew that Jiang Luyao waited for a long time, only waiting for the old man to be alone, seeing that the old man's face was not good, Jiang Luyao wondered in her heart, grandmother is sick? The emperor didn't go to summon him, what kind of trouble is my grandmother going to make?
The old man was wearing a full set of Yongning Hou's court clothes, and when he saw the newly dressed Jiang Erye, he said, "Let's go, don't wait for your mother, she won't go." โ
Won't go? Jiang Luyao is even more curious, these two old men and women who have been separated for more than ten years, there must be a misunderstanding among them, Jiang Luyao used to think that because her grandmother couldn't give birth, her grandfather was cold to her grandmother, but now it seems that her grandfather doesn't care about whether she has a son-in-law at all, so what is the relationship between them so stiff?
A lot of age, still awkward, Jiang Luyao watched a little distressed, sent away her father and grandfather, she thought for a while, and took the initiative to find her grandmother.
The old lady was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, Jiang Luyao stood at the door and looked inside for a while, and sighed softly, "Grandmother." โ
She could hear that the old lady was not quiet, and she was not as calm as before, combined with the old lady's daring to pretend to be sick and not enter the palace...... Jiang Luyao couldn't help but guess on the blood, maybe their misunderstanding was caused by the emperor, and her grandfather didn't seem to be very cold to the emperor.
"Second girl, you go back first, I don't have time to see you today."
"Okay."
Jiang Luyao didn't dare to say anything more, after all, everything was just her guess, maybe she was wrong, there was nothing to do with the emperor at all, and finally said: "The previous days passed by year, and now you and your grandfather's days are passed by day, maybe one day...... The resentment is too heavy, and my father and I hope that you will be truly happy every day. โ
โโฆโฆโ
The old lady's hand twisting the Buddha beads stopped, slowly closed her eyes, her lips opened slightly, and she couldn't say the words in her mouth, and when she turned back, Jiang Luyao had already left, and the old lady shook her head, "Bad girl, run away if you provoke someone." โ
It's rare that Jiang Luyao can say these words more today, after all, she has always avoided trouble, and the old lady's heart was also a little loosened because of Jiang Luyao's concern, but she still couldn't forgive that old fool at this time!
The father and son entered the palace for only a quarter of an hour, and Jiang Erye took back his holy decree for the prince of Yongning, and the old man patiently coped with the rest of the sons A few words, and said to Jiang Erye and his wife: "You will be the prince and the wife of the prince in the future, and the affairs of the house will be handed over to you." Let people clean up Wuhuatang again, you move in, as for the land title deed of the Hou Mansion, I think your mother will hand it over to you in batches, and the Jiang family's property will be handed over to you to take care of. โ
The faces of the rest of the Jiang family were even more ugly, and the old marquis didn't leave them a chance at all.
After the old man said this, he turned around and went back to the courtyard where he was recuperating, "For entertainment, find your mother, don't bother me anymore." โ
Second Master Jiang has always thought simply, and said to his brothers: "Father is tired, if there is something in the future, you can just look for me." โ
โโฆโฆโ
Looking for you? What problems can you solve? The Jiang brothers despise the second master Jiang in their hearts, and at this time, they are mostly maintaining superficial efforts, they are looking forward to the old marquis living for a few more years than ever, otherwise, as soon as the old marquis goes, Jiang Lao Er may drive them out of the Hou mansion.
The old marquis is alive, Jiang Lao Er is just the son, and they still have the opportunity to wait for Jiang Er Ye to make mistakes.
With Second Master Jiang's ability to cause trouble, they don't believe that Second Master Jiang will not make mistakes.
โฆโฆ
Jiang Erye enshrined the holy decree to the ancestral hall, others did not mention the celebration of the banquet because they were in a bad mood, Jiang Erye didn't care if others were really happy, he just wanted to celebrate with his wife, daughter, and son.
"Lao Tzu is the son of the world, and the title will be passed on to you in the future, boy, your father is still very capable."
"Hey, hey."
Jiang Wenjin and Jiang Erye were both drunk, the father and son hooked their shoulders and backs, like buddies, Jiang Wenjin was drunk and hazy, only a smirk remained, "Dad, my marriage with Cousin Xiao ......"
"Tomorrow, I'll find someone to go to Xiao's house to propose, no, I have to choose a good day, do your business, and do Yaoyao's marriage." Jiang Erye thought that his daughter was about to get married, his eyes were filled with tears, and he grabbed Jiang Luyao's arm while he was drinking, "The prince of Qin is a bastard, how can he marry you away...... Yaoyao, let's not get married, my father will support you for a lifetime. โ
โโฆโฆโ
The second wife pinched her husband's ears and said sharply, "What nonsense? Let me tell you, if you mess up Yaoyao's marriage, see how I clean you up. โ
"I'm not reluctant to give up my daughter." Second Master Jiang looked at the second wife accusingly, "I don't believe it, you are willing to marry Yaoyao, she is gone, who will help you dig the corner of the Hou Mansion." โ
"Now that I am the Lady of the Prince, and the Marquis of Yongning is mine, do I still need to dig into the corners? I often do the work of digging the corners of the wall, I know better than anyone how to put an end to the behavior of digging the corners, and whoever digs the corners of the Hou Mansion in the future will be my enemy! โ
"Hey, hey."
Jiang Erye smirked, Jiang Luyao held his forehead, it was really Tai Chi, how could such a relative not be 'moved' to tears?
โฆโฆ
The next day, Japan came to choose a day to go to the Xiao family to propose, but Jiang Erye drank a little too much last night, and took advantage of the strength of the wine to fight with the second wife on the kang, he slept directly until dusk before getting up, this hour, he thought that it was too late to propose, so he hugged his wife and continued to sleep.
The Hou Mansion is waiting to see the servant of the future master with a black line on his face, is there such an unserious master?
They are a little better, after all, they dare not say the right and wrong of the master, Yongning Hou's relatives, friends, etc. are waiting for the Hou Mansion to banquet guests, who knows, after waiting for a day, they didn't wait for an invitation, and the people close to them went to the Hou Mansion to inquire about the news, thinking if they were disgusted by the Hou Shizi of Yongning?
After all, Second Master Jiang's heroic appearance of denouncing Xu Guangli in front of the emperor still seems quite promising.
Jiang Luyao thought of having a treat, but the prince and his wife were sleeping, so what did they say when they invited the guests over? No matter how powerful she is, she can't replace her parents, and she patiently sent a post to each of her in-laws, and the son is now doing her filial piety in front of the old woman's bed, and when the old lady recovers, she will visit them one by one.
This reason is easy to trust.
It's a pity that on the third day, Jiang Erye went to the house of the Guozi priest with a gift and asked him to help his son propose to the Xiao family...... The priest of the country can't wait to strangle the prince of Yongning, there is a feud between them, okay, no one should look for themselves.
"But I don't know Wenchen except you. The Xiao family is a scholarly family, and it is not good for the meritorious generals to propose marriage. You can help, you see I even sent you something, if you don't help me, I didn't buy this gift for nothing? The seller said that it would not be returned. โ
โโฆโฆโ
Guozi Priest Wine really wants to ask, how many meritorious generals do you know? Which one of the people who are familiar with Jiang Erye is not a wine bag and rice bag?
"The seller doesn't return the goods, you can use it yourself, you can take it back."
"You're too high-spirited, and it's really ...... to help without accepting gifts Anyway, there aren't many gifts, so you can reluctantly accept them, or I won't be able ......to bear it."
Second Master Jiang grabbed the arm of the Guozi Priest Wine, "I've found someone, today is a good day, let's go, I even put the dowry at the door of the mansion, just waiting for you." โ
"......" At this time, the Guozi priest couldn't say that I wouldn't go, and he was dragged out of the door by Jiang Erye half-pushed, and reluctantly followed Jiang Erye to Xiao's house.
Jiang Erye is not what it used to be, he told his son that his wife is Xiao Jieyuan's only sister, the country's priest thinks about it, it is better not to offend Jiang Erye, and he proposes to Xiao Jieyuan, this errand does not hurt face very much, and now everyone knows that Xiao Jieyuan must be the champion of Jinke, and his career will be very good.
After seeing Xiao Jieyuan, Guozi thought that his daughter had married early, such a calm, talented, and scheming person is rare, and the champion is one in three years, but Xiao Ruihua has not seen one in decades.
He couldn't help but admire Jiang Erye's vision a little, his daughter is the princess of King Qin, and his son married the daughter of the Xiao family, who dares to say that Jiang Erye is stupid?
There are so many smart people in the world, but none of them have the ability of Second Master Jiang.
Xiao Ruihua did not embarrass Jiang Erye, happily accepted the dowry and agreed on the marriage contract of the two families, Jiang Erye patted his chest and promised that they would be daughters-in-law like their own daughters.
Xiao Zhuohua, who was eavesdropping on the side, had crimson cheeks, very shy, and very satisfied, his brother said that Second Master Jiang is a good father, and it is a blessing for a woman to have such in-laws.
Xiao Ruihua can say this to his sister, but the corners of his mouth twitch slightly about the situation of Jiang Erye's family...... married a daughter and married a capable daughter-in-law, Jiang Erye and his family were not born to work hard.
The little sister has to suffer in Jiang's house.
However, for Xiao Zhuohua, this burden is sweet, and the competition for favor between wives and concubines is the greatest sorrow of women, Xiao Zhuohua has no regrets at all that she did not become the prince's side concubine, she will be Mrs. Yongning Hou in the future, it is difficult to say whether the prince can survive until he ascends the throne, it is said that the prince vomited blood again because of Xu Guangli's case.
Although Xiao Zhuohua did not check the pulse of the prince, he could look at his face, the prince's essence and blood were not abundant, it was not easy to have an heir, the prince could not count on it, and there was no son, and the woman who fell into the prince's back house was the saddest.
She was glad to meet Jiang Wenjin, a sweet happiness was close at hand, and she would use her hands to defend the Jiang family and maintain this happiness.
โฆโฆ
Xiao Zhuohua and Jiang Wenjin's engagement surprised Jiang Luqi again, Jiang Wenjin, who has always been incompetent, married the future queen? Sky...... Jiang Luqi didn't know what to say, Xiao Zhuohua didn't enter the prince's mansion as a side concubine, Xu Guangli fell again, can Xiao Ruihua still be a supreme minister like in his previous life?
If Xiao Ruihua can't be a supreme minister, why should she marry him?
And in such a humiliating way...... No matter how much he changes, Xiao Ruihua's temperament can't change too much, Jiang Luqi has heard that he is a very cautious and resentful person.
What happened in the teahouse at the beginning will be an ugly thing that he will never forget in his life.
Jiang Luqi, who was still a little happy in her heart, was a little uncertain about her future marriage, can she live well?
Jiang Siye has been going out to drink recently to relieve the depression of not being the son of the world, thinking that Jiang Luqi let himself take measures for the position of the son, if before the dust settles, Jiang Siye does not listen to Jiang Luqi's words and takes the initiative to fight, maybe he is already the son of the world now.
Because Xu Guangli was convicted, the plan he had arranged in advance to get close to Xu Guangli also went bankrupt, and he also had to worry that he would be classified as Xu Guangli's henchman...... It can be said that during these days, he is very angry with Jiang Luqi, and he can't wait to have Jiang Luqi's daughter.
Although Xiao Ruihua had agreed to the marriage, Jiang Siye didn't expect to propose marriage for his daughter at all, and he also said to the fourth wife that he should have never given birth to Jiang Luqi.
The fourth wife didn't complain about her daughter, but she was not as ruthless as the fourth master, seeing that Jiang Erye was busy with her son's marriage, she couldn't help but worry about her daughter, what if Xiao Ruihua won the top prize in high school, and the emperor gave another marriage?
Xiao Ruihua is very sought-after now, the marriage contract promised verbally is not a real engagement, Xiao Ruihua only needs to say to the emperor, he is not yet engaged, once the emperor gives marriage, can the Jiang family still come to the door?
The fourth wife was very anxious about Jiang Luqi, and her husband couldn't count on it, so she could only go to the second wife's current Mrs. Shizi and ask her to come forward and invite the old marquis to go to the Xiao family to propose marriage...... After all, Xiao Ruihua promised the old marquis at the beginning.
The second wife has done a smooth job recently, and after Jiang Luyao helped her โกโก straighten out the servants of the Hou Mansion, she used her free time to calculate how much family the Hou Mansion had, and she was very satisfied, with so much silver, she was in a very good mood.
I heard my daughter say that the future daughter-in-law is very capable, she can continue to count silver tickets all day for fun, the second wife has a better impression of the Xiao family, knowing that Xiao Ruihua's parents died early, and has the heart to help manage his marriage, as soon as the fourth wife spoke, she agreed, "One sheep is to drive, two sheep are also put, the second master just went to the Xiao family to mention relatives, familiar with the way, I let the second master help you, the old marquis is recuperating, I don't think he will take care of his granddaughter's marriage." โ
When the fourth wife heard this, she also felt that bothering the old man for Jiang Luqi's matter might make him angry, after all, Jiang Luqi and Xiao Jieyuan had a lot of shame.
She also thought that the old marquis could live a little longer, and it would be pitiful to have her uncle to manage Jiang Luqi's engagement, but now this is the best way, "Then it will be troublesome for the second master." โ
"It's not troublesome, just do it together."
While they were talking, the mother at the door replied: "Mrs. Shizi, the Qin Wangfu has sent someone." โ
"What's the matter?"
"I'll talk to you about getting married."
The fourth lady held back the sourness in her heart and said with a smile: "Since someone from the Qin Palace, I won't bother the second sister-in-law, you can be busy with the second girl's family affairs first." โ
"Okay, you go slowly."
The second wife never understood the politeness, and the fourth wife's heart, no matter how distressed Jiang Luqi and Xiao Ruihua were, they couldn't cross their daughter, "Please come in from the Qin Palace." โ
The fourth wife went out of the room, and just saw the housekeeper mother who was dressed like a noble lady and very decent, and her heart was even more sour, all this should have been her own, but now it was snatched away by the second room.
The mother sent by the Qin Wangfu was respectful to the second wife, and opened her mouth and closed her mouth to say how the old lady attaches importance to this family business, how does the Qin princess care, in short, the Qin Wangfu gave Jiang Luyao enough respect, and the second wife was overjoyed, not because of how much dowry the Qin Wangfu gave, but because she could see that the Qin Wangfu attached great importance to Jiang Luyao, which was more important than any more dowry.
Today, this mother came just to discuss the engagement and dowry gifts, asked the Jiang family what other special requirements they had, and put forward the candidates for the Qin Palace's mansion to propose, "Do you think these people can be successful?" โ
It's either the princess or the county lord, it's not the prince or the Confucian, the second wife has already listened stupidly, "All come to the Hou Mansion?" โ
"Yes, the prince also attaches great importance to Ling Qianjin."
"We'll be sure to entertain you."
The second wife was very satisfied with the arrangement of the Qin Palace, and she couldn't find anything wrong, there were some things she didn't expect, Princess Qin thought of it, the second wife felt happy, and a little complacent, her own Yaoyao was not visible among her cousins in the past, which was related to the happy marriage of a woman's life, Jiang Luyao got the best everything.
Among the young ladies of the Jiang family, no one can compare to Jiang Luyao.
The second wife has always thought that she is a layman, even if she does not step on other people's thoughts, she is more willing to let her daughter steadily dominate others, the son-in-law is the first son of the Qin Wangfu, I heard the second master say that the prince of Qin is a good son-in-law, and the second wife is even more proud, "Yaoyao, is it not kind to say that you have this kind of thought?" โ
โโฆโฆโ
"I just hope that you can marry in a beautiful way and be happy and rich in the future."
The second wife whispered to Jiang Luyao, "Actually, I don't really want to care about Jiang Luqi's affairs, firstly, the fourth wife, who has always been very arrogant, begged me, I am proud, and secondly, I think that Xiao Ruihua will be more powerful in the future, and at this time, it will not be as good as the prince of Qin, and the third and two marriages are so compared, you are much stronger than Jiang Luqi, she is your foil, I am really happy, but don't say this to others, I actually don't have so many bad intentions, and I hope Jiang Luqi can live well." โ
Jiang Luyao is helpless and funny, it is normal for the second wife to have this idea, who doesn't want her daughter to get the best?
"That's what my mother thinks."
