Chapter 973: My Fair Lady
In the past, her son's marriage was determined by Du Shiyi, Wang Rong had not personally gone to the Jiang family of the Duke of Chu, and now she took her eldest son back to Chang'an to complete the marriage.
Jiang Du was naturally polite to the arrival of his prospective son-in-law, especially Du Guangyuan, who was heroic and upright, and was very different from the children of Guijie who had been in the fat powder pile in Liangjing for many years, at most he was just playing polo, and after he asked a few words casually, he was naturally more satisfied, and he actually sent someone to take Du Guangyuan to the back bedroom to meet his wife. When the people left, he retired from the idle people and waited, and then asked Wang Rong: "Madame is coming back to Chang'an this time, is she going to wait for Guangyuan to get married before leaving, or will she stay for a long time?"
"Even the eldest son is married, and I am also old, and I used to follow Du Lang to run around in office, and I have never fulfilled my filial piety in front of my father, so I don't plan to go back.
Jiang Du originally thought that he was afraid that he would have to hint at it in every possible way, but when he heard Wang Rong say this, he knew that the couple should have thought it through. Although he was relieved, after thinking about it, he still said in a deep voice: "It would be best if Mrs. Taiyuan County could think like this." However, in the land of Chang'an, the ministers and magnates are everywhere, and your husband and wife have raised their children well, so it is better to settle the marriage of the children as soon as possible, so as not to be calculated by others on a different day. The Du family and I are in-laws, and if there is anything, we will do our best to deal with it, please rest assured. β
Most of the orders of foreign women in the Tang Dynasty are based on the rank of their husbands, but the titles are not necessarily the same as those of their husbands, and sometimes they are related to their own prestige. For example, Wang Rong is because of his ancestral home in Taiyuan, and her husband Du Shiyi is the prince of Jingzhao County, but she is the lady of Taiyuan County. Although Jiang Du is said to be the heir of the Duke of Chu, his wife was born in the Li family of Longxi, and she was named the wife of Qin.
Jiang Jiao and Jiang Hui brothers have all passed away, and there are no outstanding talents in the Jiang family in Tianshui today, Jiang Du is also in the name of a national prince, and Du Shiyi's popularity cannot be compared. In the eyes of outsiders, this marriage is not a match. However, Jiang Du's such a loud promise, Wang Rong felt that it was rare, and if he was replaced by another family, he would rarely make such a guarantee because he was an in-law. What's more, the friendship between Du Shiyi and Jiang Du is far from general, Du Shiyi interceded for Jiang Jiao first, so that Jiang Du, who wanted to poison Wang Shou, was reined in the precipice, and over the years, Jiang Du, as Li Linfu's cousin, has also secretly helped Du Shiyi a lot.
At this time, it seemed hypocritical to say too much, Wang Rong just nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you for your kindness." β
Jiang Du, who is straightforward, hates that others are not happy, so Du Guangyuan has just expressed his temperament quite to his own spleen and stomach, and Wang Rong's answer also makes him extremely happy. He said with a smile: "Today's event should have been Neiko's hospitality, but I often heard Du Shijiu say that Mrs. Taiyuan County is smart and clever as a man, and it is rare to have a chance, so I will go out in person." At this time, I think that Neiko has already met Guangyuan, so I'll accompany my wife to the dormitory. It's not that I boast, I only have one daughter, Liuniang, and I regard her as a treasure, and my wife will definitely like her. β
The prospective son-in-law met his mother-in-law for the first time, and Du Guangyuan was a little cautious at first, but when he saw that Jiang Du's wife Li was gentle and easy to get along with, he gradually let go. He was still thinking about whether his future wife would peep somewhere, but he deliberately paid attention to the movements everywhere, but there was no trace, and he was faintly disappointed in his heart. When he heard the voice of someone outside, he thought it was his fiancΓ©e who finally couldn't help but show up, but when he saw that the two people who entered the door turned out to be his mother and future father-in-law, he was stunned there.
Li Shi listened to Jiang Du explain two sentences to himself, and then went out in a very good mood, and then said to Wang Rong: "When Grandpa was still there, Ah Lang was a well-known nobleman, good at traveling, going to Mazhangtai, calling friends, and although he still went his own way, he was always a good father at home. My sixth mother is not like her, she has acted calmly since she was a child, and she has a degree of advance and retreat, but after all, she is an only daughter at home, and if there is anything bad in the future, please be more tolerant of Mrs. Guangyuan is a young man, and after he gets married, he is an adult, and when he releases the brown and confers the official, Ah Lang will definitely contribute. β
Du Guangyuan already knew when he came out of Shuofang Lingzhou that he was only a name for Shuofang before, not a real award, and after this marriage, Fang was the beginning of his real award. Thinking that he was awarded the five-rank official at a very young age, if he really wanted to be awarded according to this loose official, in the current period when Qianniu has been declining, I am afraid that only the so-called noble family of AMTD Fengyu is a good choice. So, when he saw his mother thanking him, he also thanked him very unenergetically, and when he left the dormitory with his mother after a while, he couldn't help but look around again.
"Look at what? If you really want to see your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, why not bring it up to your future mother-in-law, she may not refuse. β
was so teased by his mother, Du Guangyuan's face suddenly blushed slightly. However, he was already a tenacious person, and after thinking about it, he really turned around and said to Mrs. Li of Qin Guo who was sent to the door of the dormitory: "Madam, I have a reluctant request, can you ...... Can you let me see you...... The six ladies of your house? β
As soon as these words came out, Li Shi was stunned and then smiled and said, "I saw that you didn't mention it, and I thought you didn't have this intention." She should be in the back garden at the moment, and I'll take you and Lingtang there. β
The Li family was so down-to-earth and generous, Du Guangyuan was even more embarrassed, especially when his mother was still looking at him with a smile next to him. When he arrived at the back garden of Jiang's house, he saw that in the late winter and early spring weather, the plum blossoms in the garden had already opened, and among the red and bright plum blossoms, the back of a girl in a tender yellow dress could be faintly seen in the distance. When Li opened her mouth and shouted, she turned around and glanced at him. Although it was only the first time they met, he was surprised when he saw her, and then his cheeks were slightly flushed, and then he went straight forward, and he actually had an inexplicable good feeling.
"Liuniang, this is the lady and eldest son of Taiyuan County." Li smiled and introduced Wang Rong and Du Guangyuan to his daughter, as if the mother and son were just ordinary guests who came to visit, and did not mention him at all. Seeing Jiang Liuniang come forward to salute Wang Rong, her eyes unconsciously turned on Du Guangyuan, and she continued, "It just so happens that the plum blossoms are blooming just right now, you take them to enjoy and enjoy." β
The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty has always been open, and the princess and county lord, who were born in the clan, often travel in men's clothing to swagger through the market, and even raise a few noodles. And the daughters of the ministers' and powerful families often play together, and they are not afraid to show their heads at all, as for those who half-hide and expose their snow muscles, they are even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in a popular phrase, look at a woman's background, as long as you look at her dress, you can see it at a glance. In contrast, Jiang Liuniang's dress is naturally more open than that of the women in Shuofang Lingzhou, and there is no man in the inner courtyard on weekdays, but as soon as her mother leaves, she is a little unnatural in front of Wang Rong and Du Guangyuan.
Therefore, when a servant girl next to her handed over a scarf at the opportunity, she was relieved and quickly took it, tightly surrounded the neck and, then said with a smile: "These two days are warm and cold, and the lady and the eldest son have traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, but they are still used to this weather?" β
"I'm a native of Chang'an, but Guangyuan, who followed his father to run around, didn't live in Chang'an for a few days." Wang Rong also saw her future daughter-in-law for the first time, seeing that Jiang Liuniang's body shape was impeccable, and her son became a little stunned in front of others, she simply sang the leading role instead of him, and asked with great interest about Jiang Liuniang's usual preferences, diet and daily life, reading and making friends, when she learned that Jiang Liuniang liked to ride horses since she was a child, and her archery skills were even quite accurate, she couldn't help but glance sideways at Du Guangyuan, and saw that his eyebrows were dancing, obviously surprised.
"Guangyuan's father was sick when he was a teenager, so although he once studied sword under Mr. Gongye, he failed to succeed after all, so seeing that Guangyuan was very talented in martial arts, he turned a blind eye to his bad poetry and books." Regardless of whether Du Shiyi said it or not, Wang Rong casually revealed the foundation of the eldest son to the future daughter-in-law, and saw that Jiang Liuniang not only did not show any different colors, but also smiled and said that the six arts of the gentleman are indispensable, she couldn't help laughing for a while, and after glancing at the two of them, she suddenly said, "I just thought of something and forgot to say to Mrs. Qin Guo, Guangyuan, you ask the sixth lady to take you to choose a good one, and turn around and fold a good plum blossom in the bottle." β
Without waiting for the two of them to have any objections, Wang Rong turned around and left quickly with Mo Ye, who had come with him today. When she came to the gate of the back garden, she saw Li waiting there, and when she saw her, her face was first surprised, and then she understood, so she stepped forward.
"Although it is said that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, but as parents, it is inevitable to worry a little more."
"yes, how could I not? Ah Lang and I only have one daughter, Liuniang, and we have always hoped that she would have a good home. Although the princess is noble, where can she compare to a man who truly respects her and loves her? β
When Li followed Jiang Du back then, Jiang Du seemed to be squirming, but her heart was open, so she was very smart and never cared about the nonsense outside him. Sure enough, there are many maidservants in the family, but Jiang Du is either here with her, or Yu Crisp lives alone in the study, except for her two sons, only Jiang Liuniang's daughter, and there are no other half children. At this moment, seeing that Wang Rong nodded knowingly, thinking that Jiang Du and Li Linfu were cousins, and Li Linfu had clearly been jealous of Du Shiyi, although she didn't understand why he picked and chose between the two Beijing nobles, and finally chose Du Guangyuan, she still decided to believe her husband.
"Madam, after Guangyuan gets married, he will be released as an official, I don't know what Mrs. and Du Dashuai have to do?"
Seeing that Li asked so bluntly, Wang Rong simply said cheerfully: "Guangyuan loves martial arts, and he is a general in Shuofang, if he is given such an idle position as AMTD Fengyu, he is afraid that he will suffocate to death." If you can, you can release Hedong and Helong, if you can't, then ask for sixteen Wei Lang will"
