Chapter 39 Marriage

"I'll see it." He added fuel and vinegar, "Let's blow the conditions of the eldest prince hard, and when the time comes, the person who goes to the Jiang family to propose relatives will be able to break through the threshold." ”

Jiang Wan was very satisfied, so she found a brush and wrote a marriage notice, and asked the Imperial Forest Army to paste it all over the streets and alleys of Jingzhou City overnight.

After Jiang Xu woke up, he found that the atmosphere around him was not quite right.

Whether it was the little servant who served him or the mother-in-law who did the rough work, they either got together and talked about it, or they simply looked at him with strange expressions, and he was uncomfortable.

Could it be that the old man found out about going to Nanpu Street yesterday?

No, in order not to be conspicuous, he deliberately changed into ordinary clothes.

But what's going on with this strange atmosphere around you?

He grabbed a few people and asked, and everyone laughed and didn't say a word, so weird that it drove him crazy.

He was worried.

Although the Jiang family's style is strict, he usually doesn't learn or have no skills, and follows a bunch of fox friends and dog friends all day long to play horses and enjoy flowers, and the old man didn't say anything.

At best, he sighed, was angry, and finally muttered two sentences about his children and grandchildren, and let him be a gentleman.

However, the Jiang family has two iron rules.

One is that you can't go to the Qinglou to do nonsense, and the other is that you can't gamble.

These two iron rules apply not only to the sons of the Jiang family, but also to everyone up and down the Jiang family.

Once discovered, they will be severely punished and directly expelled from the Jiang family.

Childe is no exception.

Jiang Xu was very worried and worried. When he went to Bixiao Tower on Nanpu Street to find the willow girl during the day, he packed it well, and put on makeup to deliberately pretend to be ugly or something, even the old man of the Jiang family might not recognize him when he saw him.

Can......

Something is wrong with this weird atmosphere right now.

It's so wrong.

When he came to the main hall of the Jiang family nervously, and was about to say goodbye to the old man, old lady, old father, and old mother, he found that they were also looking at him with strange expressions.

Jiang Xu's heart is weak.

In line with the principle that if there is a mistake, it will be corrected, and correction is a good child, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Grandparents, grandparents, and mothers, Xu'er knows that it is wrong, please let you adults spare me a lot this time, and I won't dare next time." ”

"Xu'er just walked in curiously and took a look, but she didn't even enter the door......"

"Hey......" Jiang Xin threw over a notice, "Xu'er, take a look for yourself." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xu picked up the piece of paper, and when he saw the contents on it, he almost spit it out.

On it, it was written in not very good-looking block letters: Jiang Xu, male, unmarried, twenty-one years old. Gentle temperament, knowledgeable, Yushu is in the wind, graceful, no bad habits, no rooming girl, no concubine, anxious to find a soul interesting, middle-looking girl to get married, do not seek family background, only look at fate.

"W-what is this?" He gritted his teeth.

"Marriage Notice." Jiang Xin said earnestly, "It was sent by Wan'er for you, Xu'er, you really have a good sister, Daddy, I am always busy with court affairs, I haven't cared about your marriage, and you have reached the age when you should get married." ”

"The marriage notice was issued at the right time. What is written above is also pertinent, if you have a suitable one, you can take a look, do not ask what the family background is, just ask for other girls to have good character and will run the family. ”

Jiang Xu is about to explode.

What the hell is this?

Marriage notice?

His dignified Jiang Dagongzi needs to get married? How can you be particularly knowledgeable and gentle?

Are you sure it's not hacking him?

As soon as this notice came out, how did he get mixed up with the gang of gentlemen in Jingzhou City?

He doesn't want to lose face?

"I heard that people had notices plastered all over Jingzhou City overnight, no, a matchmaker came to the door in the morning."

Jiang Xin was very satisfied, stroked his beard and said to Wei, that is, Jiang Xu and Jiang Wan's biological mother, "Madam, you have to work hard for this." ”

"Xu'er, come with me to meet the matchmaker." Merriam-Webster hid his face and smiled.

"Wait......" Jiang Xu guarded the old man and the old lady didn't dare to go too far, "That, old man, old lady, father, mother, I, that, I ate something bad, I have a little stomachache, I will retire first......"

He ran out with a white face, found a place where no one was around, and cursed and gritted his teeth to shred the bullshit notice.

The side door is very lively, three women in a play, and dozens of middle-aged women are still professional matchmakers, and the noise makes him upset, so he finds a place where he is less clean and escapes by jumping over the wall.

Jiang Xu felt that he had never been so sad.

went to the restaurant I usually go to, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Su Cheng, my friend's aunt, smiling and cramping.

"You're laughing fart!" He's in a bad mood.

Gusu Cheng poured him a glass of wine and smiled like a fox, "I have to say, your sister is really powerful, after this notice, the whole Jingzhou City knows that you are a boy." ”

Jiang Xu took a sip of it, puzzled, did Jiang Wan have a problem, what did he do with a marriage notice for no reason.

He thought about it several times, but he didn't think of anything to offend her.

"I don't have the face to see anyone."

"My father and mother are excited or something, as if I can't marry a daughter-in-law." After he lamented, he lay on the table, looked at Gusu City's fox-like smile, and suddenly slapped the table, causing the table to sound.

"Gusu City, I decided to go to your house for a few days."

"To my house?" Gusu Cheng picked up a glass of wine, "Why?" ”

"If I go home, I will definitely be pulled on a blind date by my mother." Jiang Xu's face was full of sadness, "Do you think I am dignified, Yushu is in the wind, and I need a blind date?" ”

"The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this is eternal." Gusu Cheng said,

"Find a girl who is the right person to ensure that the Jiang family will not decline. If you are not satisfied, marry a few more concubines, and the blessing of Qi people is most suitable for a gentleman like you. ”

"......" Jiang Xu snorted coldly twice, "Look at your smile, it's really a trembling flower, and the villain is proud." ”

"I really hate people like you the most, you read a belly of books, and you don't spit dirty words when you scold people." As he spoke, he lamented twice,

"Where is a gentleman like me, except for having money and no land to spend, there are no other advantages."

Gusu Cheng held a folding fan in his hand.

He knocked Jiang Xu's head, "You are pulling hatred here, you might as well think about how to deal with those women outside." ”

"What?" Jiang Xu walked to the window and took a look, and saw that the restaurant was full of people.

Most of them are girls in the prime of their youth, dressed up in fancy ways, scratching their heads, short or fat or thin, looking like anything.

They spontaneously lined up and walked into the restaurant one by one, intending to sell themselves to Jiang Xu.

Although it is unlikely that civilians will marry into the Jiang family, which is a family like Zhong Mingding, the marriage requirements indicate that the Jiang family does not look at family background, only fate, and is above average in appearance.

Therefore, girls who have not been out of the cabinet from the age of fifteen to twenty-five have come out to try their luck, in case Jiang Xu is blind.

Probably, most of the girls have a misunderstanding of the word medium appearance, and the quality of the girls who come to the queue is uneven, and some can even be described as scary.

"Ancestor." Jiang Xu was so frightened that his legs went limp.

"Gusu City, ah, no, Brother Yuling, save me." He hugged Gusu Cheng's thigh, "By now, I have become a street rat." ”

"If they come upstairs, I'll die."

"Sure enough, you don't know how to learn and don't know how to use idioms to even let go of yourself, just looking at this, you two brothers and sisters are really alike." When Gusu Cheng said this, he seemed to remember something, put the folding fan to his lips, and the fox eyes squinted, unfathomable.

"I didn't expect this when I came, so I didn't hide my identity." Jiang Xu was a little remorseful, "What should I do?" I feel like I want to hit someone. ”

He raised his head and saw that Gu Sucheng was thinking about the broken fan, and paused for a while, "Speaking of which, it's not summer yet, what are you doing with a broken fan?" ”

Gu Sucheng clapped his palms with a fan, and his voice was clear, "When I came here, I passed by an antique shop, and a new batch of goods arrived in the store, I saw that this fan was good, so I bought it, three thousand taels of silver." ”

Jiang Xu's eyes widened slightly, "Three thousand taels of silver to buy a broken fan, Gusu City, have you been kicked in the brain by a donkey?" ”

"You can't say that." Gusu City carefully opened the folding fan, and there was a distant picture of mountains and rivers painted on it, and the word mountain spirit could be vaguely seen on the seal.

"Although this fan is not an antique, this is the authentic work of Mr. Shanling, and three thousand taels of silver is not much."

"Mountain spirits?" Jiang Xu's expression was a little strange.

He leaned over to take a look, but he just glanced at the painting on the surface and didn't bother to look at it again, "Which eye of yours can see that this is the real thing?" ”

"I've verified that whether it's painting techniques or anything else, it's no different from Mr. Shan Ling."

"Fake, fake." Jiang Xu waved his hand, "I'll draw ...... myself"

Speaking of this, he was shocked to find that he had leaked his mouth, so he changed his words, "I have collected so many paintings of mountain spirits myself, can't I see that this is fake?" ”

He paused and tugged at Gusu Cheng's sleeve, "Why don't you do this?" I'll send you a few paintings of mountain spirits, and you let me stay at your house for a few days, how about that? ”

Gusu City is thinking about it.

After thinking about it for about a quarter of an hour, there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Xu shuddered, "Five paintings." ”

Gusu City still didn't react.

"Ten paintings, ten, no more." Jiang Xu stretched out his two hands, "I can't count any more." ”

"Yes." Gusu City's fox eyes sparkled, "Change your clothes." ”

He threw over a baggage, "Pretend to be my retinue." ”

Jiang Xu's eyes widened at first, and then it suddenly dawned on him, "You are carrying clothes with you, which means that you already knew that I would encounter this kind of thing?" ”

"No, just in case." Gusu Cheng seems to be in love with that fan, and he doesn't get tired of playing with it for a long time.

"Then when I begged you just now, you have been indifferent...... Jiang Xu gritted his teeth, "and blackmailed me ten paintings!" Dead fox, you can. ”

"Prince Jiang is stupid and has a lot of money, isn't it just ten paintings." He looked at the more and more girls outside, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Brother Qiancheng, don't you think that there are too many people outside?" ”

Jiang Xu felt that his head was big when he saw those people.

He took off his fancy clothes, changed into the clothes of a little girl, wiped a few more strokes on his face, and covered his face with a hat.

"Jiang Wan probably has a problem with her brain, what do you say that she looks middle and upper, and doesn't look at her family background, is her brother and I that kind of person? I only like beautiful women. ”

"Nope." Gu Sucheng pressed a fan against his eyebrows, "I think some of these people have kung fu." ”
