Chapter 50: Alliances
A few days later, the Jiang clan held another meeting in the ancestral hall, and this time Jiang Yuan was unsurprisingly elected as the patriarch. During this period, it is not that no one has dug up Jiangyuan's past, but this person is really mean, except for being involved in the case of rebellion ten years ago, I really can't find any black spots worth poking the backbone, and about ten years ago, because Jiang Xiaoyu was given marriage, it seems that it has been diluted.
"Congratulations, your future father-in-law has finally become the patriarch!" Zhao Qian poured Zhao Ling a cup of the best daughter red, and teased, "Isn't it just a patriarch, it's worth your enthusiasm for being so popular, even the Black Eagle was sent out?" β
The Jiang clan is not prominent, there are not many people who hold real power in the court, and even fewer people who hold military power in the army, even if the patriarch can control the two or three thousand people in Xishan, the cavalry camp moved, and immediately dispersed, Zhao Qian really couldn't figure out why Zhao Ling had to attach so much importance to it.
Zhao Ling withdrew his thoughts from Jiang Xiaoyu's room and other people that night, lazily took the two cups in his hands, and smiled indifferently: "These two cups are no different, they are equal, so they can be placed together, but if one of them is replaced with a glass luminous cup, and then put these two cups together, is it still appropriate?" β
"What the hell do you mean? Don't be pretentious, just say it! Zhao Qian snorted and slapped the fan in his hand, "You love to sell off when you are young, this is what I hate about you the most!" β
"The more prominent one party is, it will only make the other party more and more dim, when the interests of the two parties can not give each other, but when one party asks for the other, this is the end of this relationship, of course, for the Jiang family, the higher the status of the Jiang Yuan station, he will get rid of the original cooperative partner, and seek more value for him!" Zhao Ling glanced at Zhao Qian, "Do you understand what I said?" β
"You mean the Qin family? Is what you are doing now to sow discord between the Qin family and the Jiang family? Zhao Qian suddenly realized, "I thought you really fell for the beauty trick of the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and worked tirelessly for her to saddle the horse and horse!" β
"Although I have my own selfish intentions, but if Xiaoyu asks me, I will also saddle the horse and work tirelessly, of course, this kind of mood you can't experience without a fiancΓ©e!" Zhao Ling raised his eyebrows and said with a slight smugness.
Zhao Qian recalled Jiang Xiaoyu's dignity, shook it and said, "I hope I won't be able to experience this kind of mood in my life!" β
"Vulgar! Tacky! Zhao Ling glanced at Zhao Qian with disgust, "The beauty of a beauty is not in the skin but in the bones, our little fish are so good-looking!" Of course, you kind of vulgar goods must not appreciate the beauty of our little fish, wait, there will be a time when you fall out of your eyes! β
Zhao Qian pursed his lips, patted Zhao Ling's shoulder and said: "Actually, I can understand you, if you want to marry such a daughter-in-law in the future, you must give yourself a little psychological comfort and psychological hints now, lest you don't even dare to enter the cave room when you get it!" β
"Summer insects can't talk about ice!" Zhao Ling shook his head and turned his face away with disgust.
Zhao Qian shook his fan and got up, walked to Lin Xuan, who was sitting by the window, and said with a smile: "Looking at your fascination appearance, judging by my rich experience, you should have fallen in love!" β
"yes!"
"Don't admit it, I ......can see it at a glance" Zhao Qian's eyes widened, looking at Lin Xuan in disbelief, Lin Xuan, who had always been cold-faced and cold-hearted, would actually admit so bluntly that he had a girl he liked?
He plucked his ears: "That and that...... It was windy just now, and this king didn't hear anything clearly, you say it again? That Xiao Xuan, you can't have a fever, right? β
"It's really funny to have a little girl!" Lin Xuan smiled and said softly, "But I still need time to determine if I really like her!" β
"Oh my!" Zhao Qian held his forehead like ashes, "This spring has passed, why are you all springing one by one!" β
"Qin Wei has a secret relationship with the third prince!" The tenderness on Lin Xuan's face disappeared without a trace, and he said coldly.
"Qin Wei, the old fox, on the one hand, secretly communicated with the third prince, and on the other hand, let his son Qin Hui come to me a few times! It's a good idea to pedal two boats, but it's also easy to capsize! Zhao Ling said coldly.
"Huh? Wasn't we talking about spring just now? You're changing the subject so fast! Zhao Qian was dressed in red, his clothes were blown up slightly in the window, and he smiled wickedly, "Xiao Xuan, which girl do you like?" I am most familiar with the daughters of the boudoir in the capital, you name it, I will give you a reference! β
Lin Xuan glanced at him, turned over and entered the room, and sat down with Zhao Ling to discuss what had happened recently, although he had no intention of doing politics, but if he wanted him to watch his brother who had grown up together suffer a loss, he wouldn't be able to do it.
"The promotion of official positions has always been assessed by the Ministry of Officials, this time the matter of the Jiang family, the Ministry of Officials transferred the other party to such an important position in the Hanlin Academy without a clear investigation at all, the matter can be big or small, as for how to punish, it all lies in the thoughts of His Majesty, is it to completely change the blood of the Ministry of Officials or slowly figure it out?" Zhao Ling hooked his lips and smiled, "If you pull your whole body, no one can retreat!" β
"What about Jiang Weiran? Aren't you afraid of the criminal department killing people and killing people? Lin Xuan asked again.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World can hand over Jiang Weiran, he must have made sufficient preparations, there are examples of the Ministry of Officials in front, and the Criminal Department still dares to act rashly?" Zhao Qian squeezed over with a smile, "Our Royal Highness the Prince of the World is far-sighted, and there are things he didn't expect?" β
Jiangfu.
Although the eldest lady had the intention to hide the news that she wanted to be pregnant, the things she suspected had already been known by the people in the house in just a few days, which alarmed the old lady, and she happily came to visit the Rosewood Garden in person, and moved all the treasures and supplements she collected on weekdays to the eldest lady, so that she could worry less about the affairs of the house and concentrate on raising the baby.
And another reason why the old lady was so happy was that the word came from the doctor that the eldest lady was a boy in her belly! When she first heard the news, the old lady thanked God and knelt in front of the Bodhisattva for a few hours, and the Jiang family finally had a son-in-law.
Unlike the people who come and go in the Rosewood Garden, and the acquaintances attach importance to it, the courtyard of the third aunt is very cold and depressing. If he is the only blood and blood of the Jiang family, Jiang Haoran will be the treasure of the entire Jiang family, but if the eldest lady gives birth to a son-in-law, what status does a concubine have? Whether it is property or status, what does it have to do with him?
Over the years, although the old lady has mentioned several times that she wants to pass Haoran to the knees of the eldest lady, the eldest lady herself has not expressed her position, thinking that she has always wanted to give birth to a son by herself, and the medicine to make the sixth aunt unable to get pregnant is afraid that she has also made this plan!
When the eldest lady gives birth to a son-in-law, does the Jiang family still have a place for their mother and son?
"Mother, don't be sad anymore!" Jiang Haoran said movingly behind his mother, "My son must work hard, and he will definitely make his mother no longer afraid!" β
The third aunt sighed, turned around, and patted her son's shoulder distressedly: "Silly child, my mother believes your words, but you are still young and can't understand the sinister hearts of people!" β
She thought about it for a long time, took Jiang Haoran's hand and came to Taoyao Courtyard.
In Taoyao Courtyard, Jiang Xiaoyu and the sixth aunt were chatting, both of them were holding female red in their hands, and it seemed that the eldest lady was asking each other for advice.
The third aunt bit her lip, pulled Jiang Haoran to kneel down directly in front of Jiang Xiaoyu, and said earnestly: "Please Miss, save our mother and son!" β
Jiang Xiaoyu was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and said, "What is the third aunt doing?" Say something again! With Mama Qian, Mama Qian immediately asked all the people in the courtyard to retreat. and let the simple-minded Yueyue and Yanyan take the little overlord Jiang Haoran to play together.
"Just now I mentioned my sister to the eldest lady!" The sixth aunt smiled brightly, "When it comes to embroidery, my craftsmanship is commonplace, and the eldest lady asks me for advice, I am only afraid of misleading people's children." Speaking of female popularity, my sister's craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world, when the old lady celebrated her birthday last year, my sister's picture of a hundred years of life, but the old lady was happy for a long time! β
"I'm just passing the time!" The third aunt pressed a strand of hair on her sideburns to her ear and smiled bitterly, "I am the posture of Pu Liu, and the old man was just drunk...... Later, with Haoran, this made me an aunt. Over the years, I have never relied on Haoran's biological mother to do nothing wrong in Jiangfu, but I was cautious, for fear of offending someone, I just hope that Haoran can grow up safely. But now that the eldest lady is pregnant, I don't know how our mother and son will live in the future, and I ask the eldest lady to show the way! β
"Haoran is my younger brother!" Jiang Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said softly, "This will never change, no matter how many younger brothers and sisters I have in the future, I will protect him, please rest assured that the third aunt will not worry!" β
"With the words of the eldest lady, I am a little more down-to-earth in my heart! As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves...... There is always some peace of mind in my heart! β
"There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't have to force it!" Jiang Xiaoyu stopped the needle and thread in his hand, looked at the third aunt fixedly, and said, "This is what I want to give to the third aunt, everything is better with a normal heart!" β
She paused and said: "Of course I like Haoran's younger brother very much, I will make arrangements for him, whether he is the concubine of the Jiang family or not, as long as I am here, I will not let him have a bad time, and there is also, you have to believe that some things have been arranged by fate a long time ago, you just need to wait with peace of mind!" β
The third aunt is a smart person, since she has Jiang Xiaoyu's permission today, Haoran will be fine, although she is ambiguous in other aspects, but she will not insist on asking for clarification.
The sixth aunt snatched the handkerchief that Jiang Xiaoyu was making and handed it to the third aunt: "Look at the eldest lady's female red, I can't do anything, it depends on whether my sister can turn decay into magic!" β
"In fact, although the eldest lady's technique is rusty, but the artistic conception is very far-reaching, as long as it takes time, I think there will be good embroidery!"
"That's it!" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head, "I'm desperate for myself, but fortunately, it's just to pass the time." But since the sixth aunt is talking about the craftsmanship of the third aunt, when will the third aunt let me see it too? β
