Although Xie Mulin has Xie Yingzhen's memories, because of the change of core, he can't use those memories as freely as the deity. Every time she wanted to think of something, she needed to determine what it was before she could dig it out of her mind.

It feels like a computer, more like a human brain.

So she never realized the fact that Xie Yingzhen still had a marriage contract.

Yes, Xie Ying really has a marriage contract. This marriage contract was just made in the first month of this year, and the man is the second son of the newly appointed official Jiang Shilang, a concubine of the good family, and he is 14 years old this year. According to Xie Yingzhen's own impression, he is a young man with a gentle personality and many talents, who looks like a talented person and is very considerate to others.

Xie Pu admires this future son-in-law very much, and he is the same year as Jiang Shilang, and the two have a good relationship, so they are very optimistic about this marriage. However, the Wen family was always suspicious, not for anything else, just because this marriage was a thread drawn by the Cao family and a matchmaker made by Mrs. Ping Nanbo.

Jiang Shilang is a son of a scholarly family in Jiangnan, his grandfather was a county magistrate, but his father only showed his talents, but he had a few officials on the side, and the highest was only six grades. In a small place, this is already quite prominent, but in the capital, this is not a good background at all.

He is the same year as Xie Pu, and his ranking is also in the second grade, but he is a little lower than Xie Pu. The wife he married, Xiao Cheng, was the sister-in-law of Pingnanbo's wife Cheng, and the second daughter of the Hou Cheng family of Ningguo. However, Xiao Cheng's family is far less respected than the eldest sister in her mother's family. She was arranged to marry Xinke Jinshi as his wife, which was a marriage that was very in line with her status as a concubine, even if her husband had a cousin who had a good relationship and a middle-class family as a favored concubine, and was extremely favored by her mother-in-law, she could only admit it, because Ning Guohou felt that it was not a big deal.

But deep down in Xiao Cheng's heart, he is still quite satisfied with his marriage. Because Cao Shuqing, who was born in a beautiful and famous position far above her, also married a new scholar, but the other party was not a child of a scholarly family, but the son of a businessman, and he had thousands of family fortunes. Moreover, Cao Shuqing's husband also has a flat wife who is in the first place! If it weren't for the fact that the law of this dynasty recognized the status of equal wives, when the earlier court decrees only allowed monogamy, it would be difficult to say whether Cao Shuqing, who entered the door later, was a wife or a concubine in terms of etiquette. With the comparison, coupled with the fact that Jiang Shilang also respects her, and her favorite concubine and cousin are not too arrogant, she feels that she is doing well, and she is even more respectful and obedient to her mother, brother and sister.

Jiang Shilang has been consciously interacting with the Cao Cheng family since he became a pro-family, and has also become a henchman of the Cao family. It's just that he is more sleek and gives people a good feeling, so not many people think that he is just a minister who relies on his relatives to get in. But in the same year as Xie Pu, he was also the in-law of the Cao family, and now he has achieved the position of the servant of the ministry, so you can know how much he is valued in the Cao family circle. That is, a person like Xie Pu, who has been an official in other places for many years and has a relatively naïve temperament, will firmly believe that he is a good friend who can be trusted.

In the month of last year, Xie Pu returned to Beijing to report on his work, and Pingnanbo's wife Cheng first proposed to the Cao family the marriage of the Jiang Xie family, and the Cao family relayed it to Xie Pu. Cheng and Cao's mentality proposed, Wen and Xie Yingzhen didn't know, but Wen always felt that this marriage was a bit like a trap.

Jiang Shilang has two sons, Jiang Shaoliang, the eldest son born to Xiao Cheng, and Jiang Yuliang, the second son born to his cousin's favorite concubine. Both sons have been studying since childhood, and they have a good reputation, and they have not yet made a marriage contract. Considering that the official position of the squire is much higher than that of the prefect, Jiang Yuliang's age is more suitable for Xie Yingzhen than Jiang Shaoliang, and he is still from a good family, and his appearance is only good and he is of the highest quality, so Xie Pu agreed to this marriage.

As for the Cao family's intention to pull the strings, he could guess a few points, most of which was for the Xie family's silver. The Cao family has never really been able to grasp the financial power of the Xie family, so they hit the idea on the second house. However, Xie Pu didn't care, he was very confident in his ability to control. Xie Ying really loves his daughter, and he doesn't mind preparing more dowries for his daughter. And Jiang Shilang is a friend of the same year that he is familiar with, an out-and-out scholar and gentleman, Jiang Yuliang is also a good boy who is gentle and polite, and will not treat his daughter badly. Maybe after the Jiang Xie family becomes in-laws, the Cao family will be able to tolerate the three mothers and sons of the Wen family in the second room!

This marriage was decided. Xie Mulin now remembered the ins and outs of the matter, and couldn't help but slap Xie Pu in his heart again: Is there a confused father like you?! This is taking the initiative to send his own flesh and blood to others as hostages!

If Jiang Shilang is really a sincere gentleman, can he still be in the position of the servant of the Ministry so quickly?! The Jiang family clearly has to obey the instructions of the Cao family even for their son's marriage, can Xie Pu still expect them to go against the will of the Cao family and be kind to their future daughter-in-law? There are so many gentle, courteous and talented officials in the world, and it is more reliable to choose anyone than to choose the Cao family's henchmen!

Xie Mulin couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Mrs. Xie didn't know that her second granddaughter had already thought so much at that moment, and she was still there and said to Wen with a straight face: "Since you said that our family needs a helper from the official face to help inquire about the news, make some connections, and let my son come out earlier, then instead of looking for Lang Zhong surnamed Wen, it is better to find Jiang's family!" Jiang's family is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, the official is much older, and there are many people who know him, and he is also on an equal footing with the Zhengqing of Dali Temple. If he can help my son intercede, why should the officials of Dali Temple listen to it, right? You take the second girl to the Jiang family to borrow money, and when you meet the wife of the Jiang family, why do you want to ask him to pull my son! ”

Wen Shi said with an embarrassed face: "Old lady, the Jiang family...... The Jiang family is the in-laws of the Cao family and the Cheng family. Wang Angui, who falsely accused the master, is the brother of Mrs. Cheng, and the Cao family previously said that they would let their sister-in-law reconcile and cut off relations with our Xie family. How can his family help us? ”

Old Lady Xie waved her hand disapplausively: "Even if the Jiang family is the in-law of the Cao family and the Cheng family, what about it?" We are also the in-laws of the Jiang family. On the other side of the Cheng family, this sister-in-law and sister-in-law are different, and they may not have a good relationship. And Cao just said that he wanted to leave, isn't this not yet gone? Even if she is really divorced, her two children are still my son's flesh and blood, breaking bones and tendons, where can she break off the relationship with a word? At the end of the day, they still have to save people! My son said that the Jiang family is a sensible gentleman, how can a gentleman do something against etiquette? Besides, we're still in-laws. If something happens to their in-laws, their faces are also gloomy! In any case, there is always a helping hand! ”

Xie Yingrong interjected on the side: "The old lady is right. Auntie, even if you come to the door to ask for help, the Jiang family has no intention of saving people, borrowing more silver, or helping to find out the news, you can always agree. We were looking for help, but that's just for that. Now that the goal can be achieved, what else do you want to do? Wait until my father comes home safely, let my father thank Master Jiang a lot, and then send a generous gift, that's it. ”

She glanced at Xie Mulin and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, just look at the deep affection of Second Young Master Jiang when he came to our house several times, I know that you will definitely not return empty-handed when you come to our house this time." ”

Old Lady Xie also nodded with satisfaction: "That's a good point." The second young master of the Jiang family still attaches great importance to the second girl. If something happens to his fiancée's family, can he still stand by and watch? He is so favored in the Jiang family, and he is not much worse than the eldest son. As long as he is willing to speak, are you afraid that the old lady of the Jiang family and that Aunt Bai will not help talk? ”

The old lady patted the board: "Send someone to Jiang's house to deliver the post in a while, and tomorrow morning, you two will go over!" ”

Wen was speechless, frowning, about to be able to trap the fly.

And Xie Mulin looked at Xie Yingrong and sank his face.
