440 Helpers
Jiang Shuncheng raised his hand, Tian Sanniu handed over the box in his hand, Jiang Shuncheng opened the box, and there was a stack of silver tickets inside, "This is 30,000 taels of silver tickets, the ancestral hall, the clan school, and the family nunnery should be repaired, and several families in the clan who are widowed and weak also need to be helped, and those who are poor and have dilapidated houses that can be repaired will be repaired." If they could not live in it, they built new houses for them. There can never be people who have fine clothes and food, but let them have no food and no place to live. Shuhai, this silver ticket will be done for you, and you will count it in front of everyone. ”
I started to congratulate myself on choosing the right person, and it was very convenient to choose the sea of books first of all.
Jiang Shuncheng's family has been operating in the imperial city for more than 30 years, and a few hairs can make everyone live well.
After Jiang Shuncheng finished his order, he said loudly: "I have assessed the studies of the younger students in the clan before, and there are thirteen children who have learned well, and five of them have learned well. After a while, those who read the name will come to receive fifty taels of silver, and when the summer clan school is closed, you will go on the road to the imperial city together. ”
In the interval, Jiang Shuncheng still needs to make some connections when he returns to the Imperial City, and arrange a few descendants of the Jiang clan who read well to the Imperial City Academy and Luming Academy.
Jiang Shuncheng took a few sips of tea, "Looking at these descendants in the clan studying hard, I feel deeply comforted." ”
Jiang Shunxin said with a smile: "When he arrives in the imperial city, he has to ask his eldest brother to take care of him." ”
Jiang Shuncheng continued to drink tea, "As long as the children in the clan fight, I will pull it up." If you don't fight, you can't manage it if you want to. The clan has its own rules, and each family must also have its own rules, so that the descendants must not mess with the rules and make jokes. ”
While he was talking, a young man in a brocade robe approached the ancestral hall, ran straight to the Wenzhong Houfu guards standing on the side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
The guard's face was slightly startled, he turned around and entered the ancestral hall, approached Jiang Shuncheng and whispered in his ear. Jiang Shuncheng listened, and his expression changed: "Is this serious?" ”
The guard said: "It's true, the person who came was about to ask the old master to show him." ”
Jiang Shuncheng got up and glanced at Shunxin, Shuhai and his son, and went straight to the incense and candle room on the side of the ancestral hall with the guard, and the guard called the young man who came to report the news.
And a man brought up the chest, and opened it, and there were coarse cloth money bags, each containing a sufficient amount of silver.
Jiang Chuanliang read his name aloud: "Jiang Chuanxi!" ”
The young man whose name was called approached Jiang Shuhai and took a money bag, "Study hard, and strive to win the middle lift next time." ”
The young man replied and took it with a smile, which meant that he had the opportunity to go to the imperial city to study.
The ancestral hall was busy distributing silver, and Jiang Shuncheng called Jiang Shunxin into the incense and candle room.
When Jiang Shunhong and Jiang Shunyi saw Jiang Shuncheng's brothers leaving, they looked at each other, looked for a while in the crowd and followed.
The young man hugged his fists and said: "Earlier, Pingxi Hou was deployed according to the old waiter's plan and closely monitored Jinyang Hou, Pingxi Hou said that he couldn't delay it any longer, and he looked at Jinyang Hou last night and seemed to have the intention of escaping." ”
Jiang Shuncheng's expression was solemn, the emperor asked him to return to Jindi, just to give him the opportunity to do a great job in Jindi, at least to keep the safety of the people in his homeland, and said: "Is there any news from the imperial city?" ”
When Jiang Shunhong and Jiang Shunyi arrived, what they heard was a young man saying: "The emperor has issued an edict to the world to appoint King Wu as the prince." The two were slightly stunned, it seemed that the next emperor was King Wu, and they also learned from Jiang Chuanliang's mouth that King Wu was the son of Langya, and Jiang Shupeng and Jiang Suyan were all students of Mr. Zhu Wu.
Look at this, the Jiang family chose the right person again this time.
Jiang Shuncheng saw that someone was coming, called someone, and commanded in a low voice: "Tell Pingxihou to arrest people." "Someone answered. He closed his eyes slightly and said busily: "Wait! ”
The situation in Jindi is complicated, in case the news leaks out, if he causes a military disaster, this is his hometown, and he can't afford to gamble. We must make good deployments, and there must be no mistakes.
Jiang Shuncheng thought for a while, and said loudly: "I'll take someone to go with you." Walk! ”
Jiang Shun said: "Big brother, you ...... Is this leaving? ”
Jiang Shuncheng glanced at it, "The emperor's mission is important, I will follow them first, and I can't make the slightest mistake, otherwise I will be sorry for the court, and I will not be able to reuse and trust the emperor." He hugged his fists, took a few guards, didn't have time to pack up, and left in a hurry.
Jiang Shunyi and Jiang Shunhong exchanged glances and said, "King Wu has been made the prince?" ”
Jiang Shunxin replied.
Jiang Shunhong said: "This is a good thing. The emperor is old, and this matter of establishing a prince is only a matter of time or time. There are a lot of young girls in our Jiang clan, so I think it's better to pick some good-looking and clever people, and then talk to Wen Zhonghou, and let him send the two grandmothers to teach the rules and learn talents. ”
His words are most clear, that is, to cultivate a few beauties and give them to the new monarch and the powerful people of the dynasty, in order to pave a road of glory and wealth for his children and grandchildren.
Although Jiang Shunxin has several granddaughters, but the most gentle and generous is Chuanzhen, the few who are left are too young, although Chuanling is good, but Chuanling's temperament is somewhat similar to Chuanzhu, such a girl is not suitable for going to the imperial city. His heart moved, and he said, "I have promised my eldest brother not to let our daughter in this house be a concubine." "It's not a ready-made excuse, it's just a good one.
Jiang Shunyi said coldly: "You don't have to be like this in this room. Anyway, there are Wen Zhonghou, Pingxi Hou, and there is a county lord who is about to marry the prince of the left shoulder, how dare we compare with you. ”
Jiang Shunxin stretched out his finger and said "You ......" and was about to refute a few words, but thinking about it, he is Jiang Shuncheng's younger brother in the end, and he is naturally helping his own brother, Jiang Shuncheng's children are born, and he, who is the second uncle, also has a light on his face.
Jiang Shunhong said: "Looking at the wealthy families, there is no palace lady in any house. Like our Jiang family, if you don't name a few, it's still okay to come up with one or two. ”
Jiang Shunxin was a little shaken, he had several granddaughters, if he cultivated a mother, it would also be a relative of the emperor. Although he has a brother in a room, it is not his own room, if his granddaughters really become mothers, he can also get the name of a duke earl.
Jiang Shunyi said coldly: "You and I are both at this age, and it is not for the sake of future generations to strive for this glory and dignity. ”
Jiang Shunxin felt that there was some truth, if there was a mother, if it was a family heirloom, there would be more people to help her, "The eldest brother has something urgent, and this matter has to be discussed with the sister-in-law." Sister-in-law's temperament, you are not ignorant. ”
Jiang Shunhong said: "Let a few wives talk about this, between the concubines, they are better than us." ”
Jiang Shunyi saw that everyone had this thought, and he didn't make the position of the patriarch this time, so he respectfully beat Qian'er, "Brother Xin, I have to talk to Shuhai and release my family heirloom pearl from the nunnery." ”
I was pretending to be a good person before, but now I heard that King Wu was made the prince, and he was about to release him.
Jiang Shunyi really changed his face faster than flipping through a book.
Jiang Shun said: "You are the one who was locked up in the nunnery, but not my family's sea of books." If you want to release people, you will release them yourself. The sister-in-law said earlier that Chuanzhu's temperament has not changed, but she is afraid that she will be in trouble if she enters the palace. ”
Jiang Shunyi is quite confident in Chuanzhu's appearance, but this girl was spoiled when she was a child because of her good looks, and said: "I will let Neiko teach her a good lesson, let her endure hardships, and know how to converge." ”
Thinking of glory and wealth, Jiang Shunxin decided that he would not set up any rules in this room that "the daughters of the Jiang family are not concubines", what does a woman do? is sacrificed for the family, and when her parents raise her, she should sacrifice for her father and brother.
The descendants of the clan who are good at studying have a new head, and the three people of the Shun generation discussed privately with Shuhai that they should select a few good-looking women from the Jiang family to cultivate well, and also prepare him to give them to the magnates of the imperial city one day, or enter the palace to be selected.
Shuhai listened to Shunxin's words, and was also a little moved, but thinking of what Jiang Shuncheng said, he was in a dilemma, he had to pass on the treasure, and he had already been engaged to someone.
Shushan has two daughters, one is Chuanling, and the other is younger, called Chuanqin, who is only ten years old this year.
Shuhai is difficult to defeat three mouths, so he had to reluctantly agree, leaving a man with a daughter of school age who is a scholar and a handwriter to come down to discuss matters.
A group of men discussed how to embark on the Ronghua Road, this time not through the official career, but pinning the method of obtaining the Ronghua Road on their daughter.
Just now, several women from the Shun generation and the scholar generation went to the upper courtyard hall to talk to the Yu family.
Speaking of which, when it comes to King Wu being made the prince, the clan wants to pick a few good-looking young ladies to send to the imperial city.
So-yeon practiced calligraphy in the Westroom, listened to a few sentences, and the hand holding the pen could no longer be at peace.
Back in Jiangjiazhuang, first the clansmen wanted to find a way out for their future students, and it seemed that they wanted to ask Jiang Shuncheng for advice, but in fact, they wanted Jiang Shuncheng to help. Thirteen people go to the imperial city, it will cost a lot of money every month, if they bring another scholar and servant, it will cost even more, once Jiang Shuncheng helps, Jiang Shuncheng will have to take care of the three meals a day and expenses.
Now the clansmen want to exchange glory for nepotism.
The Yu family understood everyone's words and exclaimed, "Didn't you say before that the Jiang family's daughter was not a concubine?" ”
Shunyi's wife smiled: "That's the family motto of your house, but it's not ours, we only obey the male son and don't take a concubine, but we don't say that the daughter is not a concubine." ”
Yu Shi turned his face to look at Jiang Shunxin's wife Li, "Brother and sister also see it this way?" ”
Li said: "Yongting also has this intention, just pass on Zhen, she was engaged to the Tang family early in the morning." Shushan also has two daughters in the family, Chuanling, the child's sister-in-law, has seen it, she is a pungent and watery person, if she takes care of it for three years, she will definitely be a good one. ”
When Su Yan heard it, she didn't think that the whole clan was crazy, and everyone rushed to give her daughter away as a concubine.
Yu Shi was shocked, and couldn't help but say coldly: "No matter what, my daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter...... I would never give a concubine to anyone. Hmph—"
This article was originally what Su Yan wanted to fight for the Jiang family's daughter, but she was quickly rejected by the clansmen. Even Jiang Shunxin said that if he broke the promise, he would also be ruined, and he swore earlier that he would be the same as Jiang Shuncheng, and he heard that other clansmen wanted to do this, and he would also join in the fun.
Li begged: "Sister-in-law, it's rare that everyone has opened their mouths, you know a lot of people in the imperial city, help us find a teacher and teach them some rules." Even if they can't enter the palace, it will be beneficial for them to marry into a public family in the future. ”rs
