373 Ask the roots
Those long-ago memories, those dusty pasts, slipped out of their minds at this moment.
Thinking about it, thinking about it, she opened her eyes and showed a little panic: in the days of the nunnery, whether it was the fourth or fifth year of entering the nunnery, she still saw the beautiful Cao Shangshu father and son on the official road, at that time, he was the minister of King Jing as the emperor.
King Jing wants to reuse him for Lu, because Cao Shangshu and his son are King Jing's people.
The Cao Shangshu family in this life returned to the imperial city a few years earlier than she expected, will the Cao family have a different fate from the previous life?
I hadn't noticed it before, but now because Jin Se came to ask, her memory suddenly became clear.
She hugged her chest, saw that her face was pale, exclaimed, "Auntie", and held her up, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
She made up her mind, the emperor was ready to deal with King Jing, and I was afraid that the future of the Cao family would be unpredictable. "Se'er, if you believe me, don't choose Cao Yulin, he has a bad temperament, and he is not a painful person. As for this Jia Fang Gongzi...... "There is no information about this person in her memory, there are so many powerful people and officials in the imperial city, she can't remember them all and know their news." "Ser, in fact, there are some rising stars in the suburbs of the mountains, and they will be the pillars of the future."
Although this sentence was unintentional, the listener had a heart, and Jin Juan felt that Su Yan had not finished speaking.
Zhan Yan said: "Auntie's words have their own truth. Ben has three candidates, and one is Zhou Lun, the cousin of Zhou University. ”
"Zhou Lun?" She thought to herself, "He has nothing to do with you. ”
This person is quite famous, however, he is jealous of talent, not a long-lived person.
It is also remembered that in the winter of the second year of Youzheng, the plague was rampant inside and outside the imperial city, and Zhou Lun died of this disease.
Before he died, he only left his pregnant wife, and later heard that Mrs. Zhou gave birth to a daughter, and since then she has lived with her daughter.
Zhan Yan immediately smiled, his face beaming. "How? Isn't my aunt very powerful, she actually knows that Zhou Gongzi has been engaged. ”
Su Yan only knew that Zhou Lun had married a wife, and Zhou Lun was a short-lived person, so she didn't think he was engaged.
Even Bai Fei was surprised, and it was difficult to hide her respect.
Jin Se asked in a low voice: "What does my aunt mean, is it best for me to choose Jia Fang's son?" ”
"Thur, that's just my opinion. What I mean is that your husband doesn't have to be chosen among the children of famous families and official families. I think back then, my mother married my father, and my father was still white. The affliction is deep. Husband and wife are in love. For decades. My father is the only one who is my mother, isn't this kind of husband and wife just as enviable? ”
So-yeon has always felt that her father is the best husband in the world, and her mother is also the best wife in the world. With such parents, she feels very relieved.
Jin Se sighed lightly. "If you have to ask for it, I'll tell my mother that I will choose Jia Fang's son."
Since it has been decided, it will be answered as soon as possible.
She got up and said goodbye, and Zhanyan accompanied her to Ruyi Hall.
However, Jin Se was finally a step late, and when she arrived, Jiang Suting had just left.
Mama Tian asked a few words, and Zhan Yan told Jin Se about Jin Se's decision to release his son first. Mama Tian smiled: "I really thought of going with my old lady." Since Miss Cousin wanted to tell her aunt about this decision. It's better for the old slave to run around and get the words. ”
Jin Se thanks.
In Qingyin Xuan, Jin Juan did not leave, but sat opposite Su Yan and watched Su Yan hold the pipa in her arms. The fingers are like flying, and the mesmerizing rhythm flows from the fingertips, touching the heartstrings, sometimes lingering to the bones, sometimes reverberating.
After she finished playing the song, Jin Juan got up and poured a cup of tea, "Auntie didn't seem to finish what she said before." ”
So-yeon thought back, "Which sentence are you talking about?" ”
"My aunt said that there are some rising stars in the suburbs of the mountains and fields, and they will be the pillars of the future." Jin Juan's face was humble, which was the respect that was revealed from the bottom of his eyes to his face.
The corners of Su Yan's mouth pulled out a trace of arc, and she nodded slightly: "You know the Tao, I know some talents outside the world." ”
Jin Juan knelt on the ground with a "plop" and knocked deeply, startling Bai Fei, "Miss Big Table, what are you doing?" So saying, he helped her up. Jin Juan knelt stubbornly, "Auntie knows that my mother is from a girl's background, and although my mother treats me well, I am a concubine in the end." Even if it is a marriage, I can't help myself, and I ask my aunt to have mercy and give Jinjuan some pointers. ”
Su Yan didn't move, and after that moment, she turned calm.
Bai Fei said: "Miss Big Cousin is wrong, you have parents and brothers, where is the turn of the county lord to make decisions for you." If you have anything to ask for, it should be your parents. ”
Jin Juan shook her head, still not letting Bai Fei help her, "What Auntie said just now, there are words in the words, can Jin Juan be understood as a talented man in the suburbs of the mountains, but now he is white." He will be like his grandfather one day, and he will be able to gain fame and become a pillar of the court. ”
Su Yeon squinted slightly. She only said one sentence, and the brocade silk could know that there was something hidden in it, and it should not be underestimated.
"Please let my aunt say clearly, who is this talented man hidden in the mountains? Where are you? ”
Su Yan smiled slightly, "What?" Do you want to find a man like this as a husband? ”
The county lord of Anxi is such a smart woman, she has been able to help her father and brother since she was a child, even Zhang Desong mentioned the young Suyan, and he also had a lot of respect. Now that she is older, her words are very important in the two mansions.
Jin Juan didn't want to hide anything, so he nodded affirmatively.
Su Yan sighed lightly, "You really have made up your mind?" ”
"Yes!" Jin Juan looked sincere, "I hope that my aunt will show me the way, and Jin Juan is grateful." ”
Bai Fei called "county lord" lightly, as if there was a sense of obstruction.
After all, this is the young lady of the Zhang family, and it is not something that Su Yan can interfere in.
Su Yan picked up the brocade silk and fell into remembrance, but in the eyes of the brocade, she was embarrassed, "Do you want to find the outskirts of the imperial city, or the side of it?" ”
Jin Juan said loudly: "On the outskirts of the imperial city." ”
Jiang Suting returned to Jizhou, she was the master in Zhangfu, as long as she wanted, she could go out of the house to play.
Su Yan did not let Bai Fei avoid it, but said in a low voice: "Twenty miles east of the imperial city, there is a scholar named Qi Li in Shuanghe Xiazhuang, Shiqiao Township. Although he is over 20 years old, he will definitely be able to become a talent in time. However, the family is surrounded by walls, there is a blind old mother, and the eldest sister who is waiting to marry makes a living by washing clothes and sewing clothes. ”
Jin Juan's whole person froze there, looking surprised. In her mind, a disheveled person came to Shangzhuang with a group of people to dig a canal, and she had heard a neighbor say that the person's name was Qi Li.
"Do you know this person?"
Jin Juan came back to his senses, "How come?" The man was very tricky. ”
"You treat me as an aunt, what else can't you say."
Searching out the bits and pieces about Qi Li, he is a man who has won the championship in three trials since the beginning of this dynasty, after King Jing ascended the throne, he is also the second person in the three yuan since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
It is said that his wife was the daughter of an official eunuch, and she insisted on marrying him even if she quarreled with her father and brother. Honoring his mother and taking care of his eldest sister for him, he respects him. After Qi Li developed, he did not forget the dregs of chaff, and respected and loved his wife, which was once a good story.
"Don't hide it from my aunt. After spring last year, the seeds had just been planted in the ground, and it rained for a month. Our family has a 400-acre grange, which is located in Shuanghe, Shiqiao Township. My aunt and I rushed to Zhuangzi overnight, and took the head of the village and the villagers to build a canal, and finally stored water, which could irrigate the ground and water the seedlings. That night was so thrilling, the villagers of Shangzhuang wanted to fight with them, and the eldest aunt was afraid of causing death, so she stopped the villagers of Shangzhuang. I just didn't think that it would be him who took the lead in making trouble. Earlier, I had heard people say that he was a reader. In Xiazhuang, he worked as a private school, accepted a few students in his spare time, taught them to read and write, and collected a little bundle to help his family. But more often than not, they are closed doors, only reading the books of the sages at home. ”
This is the fate between Zhang Jinjuan and Qi Li.
It's just that at the beginning, it didn't leave a good impression on Zhang Jinjuan, but I don't know what Qi Li's impression of Zhang Jinjuan was.
Su Yan said leisurely: "This person has an arrogant temperament and is a dutiful son. His eldest sister is still unmarried, and if you can help his eldest sister find a good family, he will definitely miss you. This person's temperament is too strong, and he needs to be sharpened and rounded. ”
"Thank you for your advice." Jin Juan retired in arrears.
Out of Qingyin Xuan, there was a pleasant and beautiful vocal music in her ears, her heart was no longer cold, and her mind passed over the young man who had not yet seen clearly in the night, messy hair, most of his face was blocked by hair, his body was disheveled, wet and sticking to his body, and the villagers of Shangzhuang scuffled together, and his mouth was unforgiving: "Water is the water of the world, why do you Shangzhuang intercept water for your own use, don't think that building a canal is your water." ”
I didn't think it would be him, but he could be praised by his aunt for "having hills and valleys in his chest and talent in his belly", because he really had a fate with her.
When she was a child, her aunt hugged her and said with a smile, "The eldest lady is a person with good fortune, and she will be prosperous and rich all her life." ”
Zhan Yan is full of respect for Su Yan in his expression, even the old masters and old men of the two Hou Mansions are all like this, and none of them will be sluggish.
They can trust it, and so can she.
Everyone respects Su Yan, and she naturally has something extraordinary.
Since my aunt said that this person will be a pillar of talent in the future, then she will believe it.
God let her get acquainted with Qi Li first, she will not let go, and she will definitely grasp it well.

On the morning of February 21, Zhang Desong returned to Jizhou with his second son, and this time he had to take a half-month holiday for the sake of eating and drinking, and he did not dare to delay too long, so he had to return to his post before the holiday arrived.
After sending off her husband and second son, Jiang Suting moved to Wenzhong Houfu to live temporarily, and arranged for her subordinates to go to the Li family to hire them together with the Shen family, which meant that the Li family only had ten days to prepare a dowry for their daughter.
Originally, there were forty-six lifts, but Zhan Yan suggested that Murong was polite, and Jiang Chuanhei only had to carry forty lifts when he married Zhang Shuangshuang, so it was not good to cross Jiang Chuanhei too much. After the last year, the Murong clan only used forty-two lifts, and when the dowry came out, it took the eyes of the onlookers for a while.
