368 Choosing a son-in-law
Jiang Suting thought of Zhang Desong and said, "Jin Se looks good, and he can be worthy of the prince and grandson." "Which of these people is not a group of wives and concubines, even if they are regular wives, they are even harder than ordinary people. Jiang Suting immediately objected, and replied coldly, "If you want to be a concubine with someone, that's also the matter of the third aunt's two daughters." The third aunt is younger and more beautiful than me, and the daughter she gave birth to is beautiful, you slowly raised it, fortunately, when you grow up, it is also the life of a mother, and you can also be a relative of the emperor. "Isn't he the most fond of the third aunt, the third aunt has been loved by him for so many years, so she should relieve his worries and troubles.
Zhang Desong was so choked by her that he didn't speak anymore.
When she woke up this morning, Jiang Suting made up her mind to find a good in-law for Jinse. and the marriage of her two sons also had to be carefully planned, thinking about it like this, she was very anxious, but fortunately, she had her mother's family to ask for help.
Shen Shi glanced at Zhang Shuangshuang, Zhang Shuangshuang understood, "The eldest aunt has said a few times, and the mother-in-law has always taken it to heart, no, the marriage of Changxing, Changlong and Jinse is also in mind, and they have chosen three families each, you can take a look." ”
The Shen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been in the imperial city, and they know a lot about the sons and daughters of the famous families and the families of the Houfu officials.
Zhang Desong is now the governor of northern Hebei and the official of Xinjiang from Erpin, and he has a lot of care for the Jiang family. Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the Shen family also asked Jiang Shuhong's father and brother to help choose a few.
Jiang Suting received it in her hand, unfolded it and looked at it, and immediately her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, it was better for her mother's family, she said twice, and the eldest sister-in-law kept it in her heart and looked for her wholeheartedly. "Cao Yulin, the youngest son of Cao Shangshu's family in the Ministry of Rites, is good, he is two years older than Jinse, and he is the youngest son, and he is the younger brother of the daughter-in-law, this is good. It doesn't get much better than that. ”
If it really happens, isn't it just kissing and kissing. The siblings are married to cousins.
Which house does not favor the youngest son.
Zhang Shuangshuang said: "I have already inquired, Cao Xiaogongzi is good at everything, but he is a little arrogant." is the youngest son of Cao Shangshu and his wife, and he is very arrogant when he is young. ”
Jiang Suting was suspicious in her heart and looked at the old lady.
Such a man is arrogant. Bad temper, family and appearance are matched, but Jin Se is her eldest daughter, she can't harm her own daughter, in addition to his character, this good temper is also very important.
Yu Shi said warmly: "Whether a woman is happy in her life depends on whether her husband knows cold and hot." Cao's family is the highest. He has been a feudal official for more than ten years, and his family background is deep. Mrs. Cao returned to the imperial city and bought a lot of shops and granges, so she didn't have to worry about food and clothing. As Shuangshuang said, I'm afraid that my temperament is not easy to get along with. ”
Jiang Suting looked at the other one again. It was the eldest son of Jia Wei, the secretary of Taichang Temple, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Zhang Shuangshuang said: "Lord Jia returned to the imperial city last autumn to take up his post, and this eldest son is seventeen this year. Because he is not familiar with the place of life, he has not yet married. Master Jia and my father Weng are the same Jinshi in the same class, they are upright, and they also have a good relationship with our Jiang family. His eldest son Jia Fang once studied in the same academy as his fourth uncle, and I heard that he also passed the township examination and the general examination, passed the township examination at the age of fourteen, and passed the general examination at the age of seventeen. But it was infected with the wind and cold, which was delayed. ”
Jiang Suting looked at the third one, it was the cousin of Scholar Zhou called Zhou Lun.
Zhang Shuangshuang said: "This person is the most appreciated son and nephew of Scholar Zhou, and he has been living in Scholar Zhou's house, with no parents and no brothers and sisters to support. If Se'er meets him and marries into the Zhou family, he will be the master of the house, no one will control him, but he will be free, and more importantly, Zhou Lun has an excellent temperament, and they are all familiar with the third uncle, and the third uncle also said that he is a reliable one. ”
Shen Shi took over, "Such a person is most eager for true affection, if you treat him well, he will reciprocate." I heard that he is quite talented, and he is sixteen years old this year. ”
Su Ting was silent for a long time, "I heard my uncle and Desong say that Jia Fang and Zhou Lun will not be the top three in the next imperial examination, and they can also get the second list of jinshi." ”
Jiang Suting looked at it carefully, these three are either from good families, or have good character, or have long been famous, all of them are not bad, it is really difficult to choose.
Among the three families selected for Changxing, the first is the second daughter of the military department's squire, this military department squire was newly appointed in February, and he was also an official who returned to the imperial city to report on his work in the autumn of last year, and his daughter is fourteen years old this year. Because of her mother's weak health, her eldest sister left the cabinet and took care of the mansion at the age of eleven. According to legend, his eldest sister is quite famous in her mother-in-law's family, and such a second daughter is not bad.
The second is the young daughter of the Imperial History of the Right Capital of the Supervision Yuan, who is in September this year and Xuan, has a straightforward temperament and will take care of housework.
The third is the eldest granddaughter of the Tai Hospital, who is good at medicine, but her temperament is a little hotter.
Jiang Suting looked at all of them and looked good.
Looking at the three young ladies selected for Changlong, in addition to the younger age, the youngest is only ten years old, and the oldest is only twelve years old, but it is also compatible with Zhang Changlong, and its conditions are comparable to the three selected by Changxing.
Jiang Suting was happy to see it, with the help of her eldest sister-in-law, she was much stronger than her like a headless fly. "This time I went back to the imperial city, and I had to settle the marriage of these three children. Sister-in-law Lao bothered, I have to discuss with Desong again. Se'er's marriage is set on Jia Jing and Zhou Lun, I will think about it again to see which one is more suitable. ”
She carefully put away the list of several families.
Yu said: "Regarding the children's affairs, you pick out two families and tell them the situation, or ask them what they mean." ”
Shen said with a smile: "Mother, the Zhang family is different from our Jiang family, and it is possible to take concubines. ”
Jiang Suting fell in love, and people may not like her children, this family affair will be agreed between the two families when they think it is appropriate.
The Jiang family's selection of daughters-in-law is extremely strict, not only must they be quite virtuous, but they must also have some appearance, they must have both, and they must have a good impression of the Jiang family's sons and daughters in order to be selected as the Jiang family's wife. This is also a decision made by the Jiang family who does not want to wronged their son.
Jiang Suting said: "The daughter-in-law of Changxing and Changlong, Desong and I are in charge. As for Ser, you have to ask her what she means first, and you have to make her willing. ”
The reason is very simple, a woman can only have one husband in her life. Men are different, if the wife is not likable, they can still take concubines, but the wife must be virtuous and virtuous.
She called the grandmother who was waiting outside the door, "Go to Bingqing Pavilion to send a message to the second lady, let her dress up, and follow me to Jingnan Houfu to participate in the flower viewing banquet in a while." ”
Mama answered the call.
Zhanyan, Jinjuan, and Jinse used breakfast and were embroidering wedding dresses in the embroidery room. Only when you have seen it in person can you know how each wedding dress is made.
Mama owed, "Second Miss, Mrs. asked you to change your clothes and go with her to the flower viewing banquet in a while." ”
Jin Se was slightly stunned.
Jin Juan's expression showed a little envy.
Zhan Yan also felt a little inexplicable, seeing that Mama's expression was strange, she was afraid that there was something they didn't know.
Jin Se said: "The embroidery room for new clothes for eating wine has not yet been completed, and the few clothes I brought are also ordinary clothes. ”
Zhan Yan looked at Jin Se, if she didn't want to go, she wouldn't say much. can look at Jin Se's appearance, he is really worried about not having beautiful clothes.
"Cousin, I have two bodies that are smaller after only one wear, and I think it's appropriate for you to be thinner than me. Let's go, I'll take you to my house. ”
Jin Juan's heart is indifferent, even if Jiang Suting takes her to Wenzhong Houfu to play, but in the end, she still thinks of her own daughter at a critical time. Although the eldest aunt loves her, she is from a girl's background.
Zhan Yan smiled at Jin Juan, "Cousin Juan embroidered first, and I'll help Cousin Se dress up." ”
She was engaged, and it was not suitable to go out, so she had to stay at home to embroider the wedding dress.
Jin Se called Mama and entered the boudoir together. Zhanyan took out two sets of dresses, both of which were the best materials, one orange red, one light blue, and Jin Se picked orange red.
Zhan Yan said: "I didn't hear about it yesterday, but now my aunt is going to take my cousin to a flower feast, what happened?" ”
Jin Se lowered his head and let Mama and Zhan Yan dress and change his clothes.
Jin Juan couldn't hold back his curiosity and followed cautiously. Standing outside the door, I heard the sound of conversation inside.
Mama said in a low voice: "The old slave listened to the old lady, the uncle's wife and my wife say that they want to betrothal the uncle, the second master and the second lady, and they have picked a few families, all of which are very good." ”
Zhan Yan understood, but he was afraid that he would take Jinse to show others. Question: "Do you remember what I said last time, cousin?" ”
"Naturally remember. My cousin said that you can set this good family, in addition to the help of the eldest aunt and aunt, the aunt has a more accurate eye for people. ”
Zhan Yan nodded, "Although my aunt doesn't go out much, she is well-informed." We are all women who have not left the cabinet, and when you come back, you will quietly go to find your aunt and ask her what she means. ”
Jin Se should be down.
In the end, she is a cousin who is related by blood, and she treats her well on the surface, but she still thinks about Jinse.
When Jin Juan heard this, his mood became even more depressed.
They chattered in the room about which hairpin was beautiful, and the brocade silk was secretly sad.
Mama came out of the house, bumped into Jinjuan, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, "My uncle and wife helped to say a few families, all of them are the sons of important ministers and high-ranking officials." ”
The implication is: You are a concubine, and you have to match these concubines, and there is still some weight missing.
Mama pulled the brocade silk and went outside, "I also watched the eldest lady be born and raised, how can you hide outside and listen to people, if you are seen, isn't it disgusting?" Although Mrs. is the mother of the Zhang Mansion, she must also listen to the old lady and uncle of the Jiang family in these matters. My uncle's wife is well-connected, and there is no one in the huge imperial city that she doesn't know. You will please these people, and it will help you. Mrs. has already decided that she will go back to Jizhou this time, and will not take the second miss back, but will let the second miss stay in Wenzhong Houfu to learn general affairs and talents. When Renhe County Lord leaves the Pavilion, she will live in the Bingqing Pavilion. ”
The concubine's heart is bitter, and the eldest aunt can't help in these things.
Everything is in Jiang Suting's hands, if someone in Wenzhong Houfu helps her say a few words, her fate will be different.
Jin Juan asked in a low voice, "Who is the eldest aunt looking for the second sister?" ”
"I have searched for three families for the time being, waiting for my wife to choose one. These three families are really amazing, one is the youngest son of Lord Shangshu, the other is the eldest son of Taichang Siqing, and the other is a famous genius in the imperial city. ”
