Jiang Qingsoul took his sister Jiang Qingling and quietly visited Zhang's house. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test
He is the future uncle of the Zhang family, and the Zhang Mansion naturally attaches great importance to him, and Zhang Ning personally received this son-in-law.
Jiang Qingsoul's biological father and mother are not from Jiangnan, so they have sword eyebrows and a tall figure, which is completely different from those scribes in the south.
Except for the mourning, Zhang Ning still looked at his son-in-law so carefully, he cheered up, chatting with him about some household things, and secretly observing Jiang Qing's soul.
He didn't know why the Jiang family didn't propose to marry his own daughter while he was filial piety, but he thought about it later, this family affair was originally their family Gao Pan, and now he is worried, and he insists on leaving the clan and his family, so this family affair that was originally Gao Pan has become even more embarrassing.
But now that I look at it, Jiang Qingsoul is very enthusiastic about this family business, and the Jiang family does not want to withdraw or be indifferent, Zhang Ning is a little puzzled.
Jiang Qingsoul's appearance is masculine, his appearance is also extremely atmospheric, his speech is neither humble nor arrogant, and his conversation is also polite. But during the conversation, Zhang Ning still found that he was a little depressed from his expression.
Zhang Ning has been up and down in Huan Hai for decades, promoted from a magistrate to Beijing, and served as a secretary of the ministry, and all kinds of young people don't know how much they have gotten along with Lu Dao. Like this, those who are modest on the outside, but depressed in their chests, either have been treated unfairly, or they have ambitions that cannot be stretched, and their hearts are anxious.
No matter which one it is, with the status and influence of the Jiang family, it should not appear on Jiang Qing's soul.
Could it be that because he is the second son of his grandson, he has been in Jiangnan for a long time, and he can't reunite with his relatives at home, so he feels neglected?
Or do you actually have no expectations for this family business, and you feel that you are not worthy of it, so you are depressed?
What kind of character Zhang Ning is, consciously or unconsciously putting on Jiang Qingsoul's thoughts when he speaks, occasionally asking a few more questions about his parents, seemingly gossiping, and slowly knowing the character of Jiang Qingsoul.
This person has a high self-esteem, and he is from a large family and has some knowledge, so he is very confident in his ability. But I don't know if it's because his parents can't level a bowl of water or what's going on, Jiang Qingsoul doesn't seem to trust his family's strength too much, and he wants to get ahead by his own strength.
If this is said by a child of a poor family, Zhang Ning will naturally high-five, but if the reason why the family is prosperous is precisely because the family is huge, the roots are deep, and there are resources available everywhere. Isn't it ridiculous to give up your strengths and fight on your own?
Zhang Ning suddenly had some dislike for this uncle.
is in the game, but the situation is not light, and the Jiang family's tutor is nothing more than that.
His heart in a hurry to marry his daughter suddenly faded.
In the backyard.
Jiang Qingling and Zhang Yuan, who was dressed in vegetarian clothes, sat side by side on the embroidery bed. Before the first seven days had passed, all the red embroidery that was originally everywhere in Zhang Yuan's room had been put away, and the bed tent curtain cloth and other things had also been replaced with plain colors, which didn't look like a girl's boudoir, but like a place where a female Taoist priest led her hair to practice.
However, even so, it can still be seen that the hostess here was originally preparing to get married. Half of the lotus leaves are embroidered on the small purse by the window, and a few Nanmu boxes are placed in the corners, and the boxes are also engraved with mandarin ducks and lotus and other things, obviously preparing to pack the dowry of the arranged, and they have not had time to put it away in a hurry.
Jiang Qingling looked at the boudoir that had changed so much all of a sudden, and then looked at his friend whose eyes were red and swollen, and his eyes were all shadows, and he couldn't help but say sadly: "It's so good, in a few months, I'm going to change my voice and call you a sister-in-law......"
After Zhang Yuan's persuasion by Mrs. Qiu, the sadness in her heart has disappeared a lot, but she comforted Jiang Qingling.
"It's only three years, as long as you don't marry too soon, there will always be a chance."
"My second brother has always wanted to let you marry before you are filial, so that you don't have to wait for three years." Jiang Qingling and the good sister talked about what they had done in the past few days, "My father and I have already inquired about it, and my father was worried that your family would take care of its reputation, so he simply didn't mention it, and was only going to let my brother wait for another three years." I ask you, do you want to get married? If you want to marry, my brother and I will persuade my father to let you marry as soon as possible. β
In fact, Zhang Yuan cried miserably that day, and her father and mother saw what the reason was, and later talked to her.
At this time, it is actually not beneficial to marry into the Jiang family in a hurry.
Her grandmother died unexpectedly, and her son-in-law and eldest grandson naturally wanted to keep filial piety for her for six years, but as a grandchild and a daughter, it was okay not to marry within three years.
Second, the silver in her father-in-law has been emptied, and the rest of the family is antiques, valuable calligraphy and paintings, and large pieces of gold, silver, and jewelry, which are not easy to sell, and have a history, her dowry is not ready, and now in order to avoid filial piety and marry in the past, not only is the face not good-looking, but also can not see people, there are other concubines in her family, how can she marry like this to give people jokes?
And Gu Qing persuaded her that if his fiancΓ© couldn't even wait for his fiancΓ©e to keep filial piety for three years, and he was in a hurry to add a beautiful concubine and a maidservant, then if he met other things in the future, it would only get worse, not better. A lustful person will not be devoted to his wife just because she is beautiful and capable. If you see the face of your future lover as soon as possible at this time, it will be a kind of luck.
The so-called good man is not just handsome in appearance.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Zhang Yuan has opened up to his own family affairs and no longer suffers from himself.
Her parents saw her unwillingness and sadness, isn't she very unfilial? She was so ashamed that she had to make her parents worry about her at such a difficult time.
So Zhang Yuan rejected Jiang Qingling's kindness.
"My grandmother is so wronged, as a junior, I must have to keep filial piety for her for three years, and my filial piety is fulfilled. If I am not filial to my own grandmother, how can your family expect me to be filial to your parents and elders? Zhang Yuan patted Jiang Qingling's hand, "Besides, marriage is the order of parents, where is there anything that our children are arguing about to change." β
"My second brother is eighteen years old this year, the family education is strict, my second brother has no room and concubine room, now my sister has to keep filial piety for three years, my brother ......" Jiang Qingling, an unmarried woman, was really embarrassed to say more, so she had to beat the bed pillar sadly, "I just don't want to have a good marriage, but I gave a mistake to a fox!" β
"If there is really affection, no fox can be mistaken." Zhang Yuan thought of her cousin's old Li Guogong, her brother-in-law Li Meng and the current Guogong Li Mao, if a man really loves his wife, where will he be dizzy by the fox?
"I know that you are for my good, no matter what happens to me and your brother in the future, I will always remember your kindness now, and I will never forget it." Zhang Yuan looked at Jiang Qingling, who burst into tears. "You don't have to worry about me so much, I don't feel sad and disappointed, and besides, I don't have to be so pessimistic."
"I'm not telling you this because I'm afraid you'll be angry in the future." Jiang Qingling fell on Zhang Yuan's knees. "It's just sister, why did this happen? I'm still waiting to call you sister-in-law! β
"Don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
Jiang Qingling was the most embarrassed and returned home disappointed with Jiang Qingling.
He didn't know what he was doing, and he openly and secretly showed that he wanted to marry Zhang Yuan now, but he, the father-in-law, never answered, and he was not in a hurry about this marriage.
It stands to reason that the daughter's family should be more anxious, right?
He almost didn't tell this Master Zhang that if the dowry was not enough, it would be okay to marry without a dowry.
But the elders are in charge of marriage, and his meaning has been brought, and all he can do later is to wait.
If Zhang Ning wants his daughter to keep filial piety for three years, then he can only admit it.
It's just that Zhang Ning is going to keep filial piety for six years, and when Zhang Yuan gets married, who will preside over it?
The people left behind by Mrs. Zhang......
Damn it!
Zhang Ning watched the Jiang family brothers and sisters walk away at the door, wondering why Jiang Qing's soul was so anxious.
Is it because he's too old to wait?
Or is it because he wants to start a family as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold in the family?
No matter which one it is, it is useless for him to say it himself, unless Jiang Daoqi comes in person, he will not ask Jiang Daoqi.
He wanted to marry his daughter as soon as possible, but if he came to the door to beg, her daughter would have to suffer grievances in the future.
In the Shinkoku Mansion.
Today, Li Mao Xiumu opened another "talking room" at home, and invited his mother, wife, and two children to discuss the recent events in the talking room.
The last time we got together like this was before Li Rui just entered the palace.
Li Mao originally didn't want to tell Zhang Jing's true identity, Li Rui, this kid has already suffered enough, and if he strikes again, he is afraid that his heart will change greatly.
And his mother has just had a stroke, and if he talks about some more things that bother her, he is also worried that she will not be able to stand it.
But Zhang Ning's experience made Li Mao change his mind.
Cui's may be for his son's happiness, so he is reluctant to tell him about the rebellion in his family, Zhang Ning has indeed lived happily for decades, but when it comes to the end, the blow will only be heavier.
If Zhang Ning knew what the Cui family was doing from the beginning, or if Cui Taijun told him bluntly, with Zhang Ning's intelligence, such an ending would not be inevitable. Now that he is worried about leaving the family, the relatives of the children in the family may also be affected, which is too cruel for Zhang Ning.
He decided to learn the lessons of the Zhang family and let Li Rui know the truth of the facts, so as not to cause things to develop in an unpredictable direction in the future, but to cause more harm to this nephew.
On the other side, Fang's family, who followed her husband to the "talking room", was also full of emotion in her heart.
It was the first time she had come to the "talk room".
When she first got married, she knew that there was a strange house built on the water and unobstructed on all sides in the Xinguo Mansion of Ludao, which was the place where the father-in-law and uncle of the family discussed business with many advisers and staff.
At the height of the family, there were more than a dozen generals guarding the entrance of the corridor leading to the talking room, and there was an endless stream of staff and advisers coming and going to the talking room, even his husband had never been able to enter the "talking room" when he was discussing business at home.
However, no one thought that the two most important masters of the Xinguo Mansion would go so fast, and the staff and strategists in the family would also be scattered in a few years.
In the blink of an eye, she and her husband could enter the "talking room" casually, but this way of getting qualifications, she thought that his husband would rather not have to enter the talking room for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to have it.
With a hint of curiosity, Fang Clan glanced at the room with many chairs, and was suddenly stunned.
The one sitting on the windowsill looking at them faintly, who else could there be besides sister-in-law Zhang Jing?
The Fang clan was already accustomed to Zhang Jing's elusiveness. In the past, she could only come out in the dead of night, but later, she could occasionally be seen during the day.
Fortunately, most of the time she was quiet, and the Fang clan gradually got used to this kind of day when a figure appeared from time to time.
She nodded slightly to her sister-in-law.
I don't have a smart brain, and I think that my sister-in-law knows that they are going to discuss important matters, and I can't rest assured that my son is here, so I came to see it. If she has something to say that she can appeal to others through herself, then she is also of some value.
No matter what his identity is or what his purpose is, Li Rui is the Li family after all.
The sister-in-law is also the Li family.
Maybe it was his own thoughts that reached Zhang Jing, and Zhang Jing, who had been sitting quietly, also bowed his head to Fang's head, and then showed a smile.
Zhang Jing is forever frozen at the age of twenty-eight, her smile is delicate and moving, even if it is Fang's, her heart can't help but be touched. It's just a casual chin and a smile, Zhang Jing can also be so thrilling, the emperor would think that she could marry into the Xinguo Mansion, and it is not unreasonable to think about it.
How many men can guard against such a heart-piercing smile?
Li Mao found that his wife was in a trance, but he thought it was just because his wife had too much curiosity in the conversation room, so he patted her on the shoulder and brought her back to her senses, so he sat down in a chair in the conversation room and began to talk about the reason why he had gathered the whole family.
Li Mao started from Li Rui accompanying the eldest prince out of the palace and encountering Chu Yingyuan in his own "Linglong Pavilion", and talked about how Zhang Ning's grandfather died with Zhang Ning's mother and died in Zhang De's mansion.
Li Mao's director is not eloquent, so he has always talked about things flatly, and for some of the forgotten parts, he has to think about it before continuing to say, but even so, so many things are gathered together, which is enough to make everyone look at each other in shock, if his eloquence is a little better, I am afraid that Gu Qing's stroke will really scare Gu Qing again.
Li Rui listened to everything his uncle said without squinting, and the matter of the prince of Xiangcheng suddenly seemed to be the same as the matter of his previous life, but when the uncle said that the spy caught at home confessed the true identity of his mother, and his maternal grandfather was not dead, but a leader-level figure who was fighting against thieves, Li Rui's face was pale and pale, which was really worrying.
Li Ming, who was sitting next to his brother, found that his brother had been trembling slightly, which was much better than the last time he leaned on him and was weak, but little Li Ming was still very worried, and he almost couldn't listen to what his father was saying.
When Li Mao saw his nephew like this, he couldn't say anything, and was stunned for a while. It was still Gu Qing who was the calmest, and waved his hand indifferently and asked him to continue.
"Who cares what Zhang Jing's identity is, Li Rui is a child of the Li family, that's enough. Li Rui, don't be so sad, can people still choose their parents when they are born? You just have to live your life! β
Gu Qing's words were like a slap in the face, and the shocked Li Rui came back to his senses and nodded heavily.
"What my grandmother said was that I wanted to be left. My mother has died, and so has my maternal grandfather. If I don't mix up with rebellion, what does it matter who they are? The grandson only needs to remember that he is from the Li family, and Zhang Ning and Zhang Zhi are my uncles, and this is enough. β
"You're right. That's the right way to think about it. β
Li Mao saw that the old lady easily cheered up her nephew, and she also admired her mother in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but show a trace of emotion.
Gu Qing saw Li Mao's "Ah, I admire you so much" look, and his head was even higher.
Cut, you haven't seen many sadomasochistic novels and TV series, what enemy's daughter falls in love with the murderer's son, what two love only to find out that they are biological brothers and sisters, what you kill me and I kill you but kill your feelings, don't watch too much.
It's just the son of a former county lord, and it's almost forgotten if it's too angry, what does it matter?
"That's exactly what my mother said. Let's not say that Rui'er is the Li family, and my eldest brother died to save the driver, so the sister-in-law was arranged by the emperor to enter the mansion back then, even if this matter is exposed, there is nothing in our family that can be shaken. Li Mao glanced at his nephew and was relieved to see that he didn't show sadness or embarrassment.
"Although the identity of the sister-in-law is embarrassing, we should not know what to do, and live our lives well."
Fang Shi listened to her husband's words and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing's ghost sat there expressionlessly, and his eyes didn't look this way.
The Fang family finally knew why the sister-in-law always had a radiant temperament, it turned out that she was the county lord of the previous dynasty.
Such outstanding words and deeds, such a woman's ambition to not let her eyebrows, originally came from here.
It's just that Mrs. Zhang, why didn't she raise a prince herself, but raised a county lord? Could it be that he had wanted to marry her for a long time, so he taught her to be so outstanding, just to achieve his future arrangement?
If this is the case, then Li Rui, the grandfather who used the golden branches and jade leaves as chess pieces, really died a very good death.
"I'm not worried about what changes Rui'er's identity will bring to the family, what I'm worried about is that the remnants of the Yin Dynasty have been making frequent moves recently, and they have emptied the savings of several generations of the Zhang family in the past year, and the plan must be not ......small," Li Mao couldn't hide the worry on his face, "If they want to make trouble, or if there is any big move, Da Chu will have another incident." β
"Dad is worried that they are going to rebel? At this time? No way! Li Ming's eyes widened, "If it's peaceful today, Your Majesty is also quite popular, they are reversed at this time, aren't they looking for death?" β
Li Mao also felt that Yin Chao Yu would not rise up at this time. Let's not talk about whether there are people who will blindly obey, even if someone follows and rebels, the number will not be too much.
Now the western and northern armies are well equipped, and the Chinese army is all elite, unless the remnants of the Yin Dynasty conjure up a million heavenly soldiers, otherwise the Great Chu City is firmly walled, and the armament is excellent, and there are ghosts who can achieve things.
"I'm just worried. After all, they have money and food, and they have an army in their hands, and it is not very peaceful now, the Jiangnan side has made such a big disturbance this year, and the rebellion of the remnants of the king of Qiyang in the north last year also lost a lot of soldiers and horses......" Li Mao shook his head, "That's it, what am I talking to you about?" This is something that we courtiers should consider. β
"No, I think you're worried, at this time, we have to plan ahead!" Gu Qing's eyes were filled with an inexplicable golden light, "The matter of the Zhang family has taught us a lesson, no matter when, we must first have money!" It has to be money that you can control! β
She stood up and said in a sonorous voice:
"Eggs must not be put in one basket!"
Li Ming and Li Rui glanced at each other and covered their eyes weakly.
Grandma, the point is not to have money, but not to mix with these things, okay?
And what the hell are you excited about?
