Chapter 168: What the Heart Wants

Zhou was still able to hold it outside, politely and forbearably to Mrs. Jiang Si, and reluctantly argued with Mrs. Yu, now back in the third room, only Zhou's mother and daughter were left in the house, where could they suppress the evil fire that had been saved for most of the day, and his tone was stern and annoyed, "How can it be Mrs. Jiang's mother and son who came to the appointment to see each other?!"

Today, Prince Kang and Princess Kang also went to the temple to worship the Buddha, I thought it was ...... I thought! Your father's letter only told me to go to the place and take you to the pavilion in the back mountain when the time came, but nothing else was elaborated, Chunran, you told your mother, did you make a mistake in your memory, and your grandmother was scared, and you had to admit Jiang Wugongzi's matter just now? ”

She was full of thought that her husband had been in office for many years, and his daughter must be Prince Kang's nephew.

Although the situation of Prince Kang's mansion in Beijing is a little embarrassing, and his own son died early, but in the end, it is the emperor's uncle, and the original fief is in the husband's Sichuan and Shu office.

Serious golden branches and jade leaves, she has been looking forward to and excited for the past six months, and the dowry for her daughter is all according to the weight of the prince and princess.

The look at each other as scheduled was like a slap in the face!

It's not Prince Kang's mansion, and it shouldn't be the Jiang family!

What kind of thing is the Jiang family!

Ordinary small and medium-sized households in Beijing, relying on Jiang Guifei to ascend to heaven, Rao can only be regarded as an upstart in the eyes of Yongjia Houfu, which has an empty shelf!

Zhou Shi was shocked and annoyed, and his voice was so sharp that it was about to break, "How can it be the Jiang family?" How could it be the Jiang family! ”

She had to agree with the old lady, why did the Jiang family ask her for a three-room girl!

Calling this sentence over and over again, you can see how disappointed and angry you are.

Nian Chunran was still calm and polite, while agreeing to her mother's mouth, she shared the tea, and asked her mother to use tea to dissipate her anger in a soft voice, "Mother, don't worry." How could I misremember what my father told me personally? It was the Jiang family who was talking to me, and it was always the Jiang family. ”

She can stay alone as a housekeeper director, whether it is temperament or ability, she naturally has the trust and affirmation of the Zhou family.

The calmness that has never changed from beginning to end finally made Zhou regain some sense, took the tea cup and took a sip to calm his heart, but the anger on his face did not decrease at all.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother hurriedly turned around and said, "Where is Madame, annoying girl?" It is said that the Jiang family is really ...... How could Mrs. bear to marry a girl to be a Jiang housewife? ”

"I understand what my mother means, but as the saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty. Jiang Wugongzi is not a thing in the pool, Qiu Yu has the middle solution yuan, and the results of Chun Yu are not bad. Nian Chunran looked at Zhou's mother, but the words were for the Zhou family, "Although the Jiang family is not talented, but now that Jiang Wugongzi has succeeded in the imperial examination, and the eldest uncle in the next room is expected to be promoted to the governor of Sichuan and Shu, if my father doesn't fancy these two points, how would he be willing to let me out?" ”

Not to mention the Zhou family, even Zhou's mother didn't look down on the Jiang family very much, where did she notice who was who, and couldn't help but wonder: "The eldest uncle of the fifth son of Jiang?" ”

"Jiang Guifei's brother, the eldest master of the Jiang family's house." Nian Chunran patiently explained: "Before I came back, my father just got the news, the emperor intends to reuse Master Jiang, just wait for the evaluation of the officials after the Wanshou Festival, and I am afraid that the clear will of promoting Master Jiang will be issued." ”

With such a major personnel change, there is a bit of a rumor in the court, not to mention that there is a favored Jiang Guifei in the palace who is in charge of the Jiang family.

Nian Chunran turned his eyes to look at the Zhou family, and when he saw that Zhou's expression changed slightly, he smiled softly: "Father's meaning, although Jiang Wugongzi is good at learning, he can be named the first name Xie Yuan, and it is indispensable that the emperor has the intention to promote the Jiang family, so as to add an extra color to Master Jiang's promotion." ”

Zhou remembered that Jiang Guifei did have a brother-in-law who let go of the foreign post.

And because Concubine Jiang is favored, the masters, scribes and other auxiliary officials around Master Jiang are all personally selected by the emperor.

Nominally, Mr. Jiang is still her husband's boss, but Mr. Jiang is incompetent and talentless, otherwise he would not rely on nepotism to pick up leaks and get the fat difference like the prefect of Sichuan and Shu.

When she was still in office as her husband, she only respectfully stayed away to make enough courtesies, which was nothing more than sending people to give gifts during the New Year's holiday, she had no intention of shutting down the Jiang family, and it was difficult to ensure that her husband had no contact with Master Jiang outside.

I never thought about the Jiang family before, but now, I have to think about it carefully.

While weighing, Zhou calmed down and looked at his daughter.

The daughter is not like her, her husband and the horse master are brothers, the appearance of the horse master is notoriously handsome, although the husband is not as good as the horse master but also handsome, she has always been happy and satisfied, and the daughter is more like her husband.

Now I regret it a little, I regret teaching my daughter too well, reading the four books of etiquette since I was a child, and living with my husband since I was a child.

Such a beautiful and capable daughter, no matter how knowledgeable she is, no matter how she has ideas, she is just a little girl with a restrained heart.

Zhou's heart was replaced by distress, and he hugged his daughter and sighed, "You tell your mother honestly, you and Jiang Wugongzi ......"

Nian Chunran shook his head hurriedly, and said with a gentle smile: "Mother is too worried." I have never made a mistake, and my father will not allow me to make a mistake. This is also the first time I have met Jiang Wugongzi. Mother and third brother returned to Beijing first, and my father discussed family affairs with Master Jiang on the one hand, and remembered that you were serving your grandmother at home alone, so even you hid it, saving your father and I from not being there, and you were angry in vain. ”

Master Nian San understands Mrs. Yu and the Zhou family, which is to prevent the Zhou family's concern from being chaotic, but it will ruin his calculations.

Nian Chunran's words were intentionally joking, so as to ease Zhou's resentment, but his face was slightly red, "Father won't harm me, let alone Sanfang." I have to be loved and nurtured by my parents, and when it is time to contribute to the family, there is no reason to refuse. The Jiang family's relatives, my father asked me what I meant, and I was willing. ”

She had to talk to her mother about family affairs, and the shyness of the girl's family was on her face, "Jiang Wugongzi is gentle and polite, and he can talk to me very well." ”

No matter how calm and rational she is, she can't avoid girlish feelings.

Some girls are thoughtful and love power and wealth.

Some girls are shallow-minded, and what they love is nothing more than the handsome character at their fingertips.

Nian Chunran obeyed his father's orders, and he really saw that people inevitably had their own thoughts.

Jiang Wugongzi is gentle in words and deeds, literary and elegant, and a young man Xie Yuan, such a quasi-husband, what is she not satisfied with?

She didn't hesitate to do what she wanted.

When Zhou saw his daughter and the old lady just now, he blushed when he mentioned Jiang Wugongzi, what else did he not understand?

My heart was in a mess for a while, but I felt sorry for my daughter's tiredness and stood on the wind, so I slowed down my face and sent my daughter to freshen up and rest first.

Zhou's mother went to arrange it in person, and after turning around, her thinking was also clear, and she couldn't help but persuade: "Now that the family has made a marriage with the Yasukuni Mansion and the Yuyang County Mansion, the ancestor Liu family next door first came out with an elder, and then a young man came out, the Jiang family, or Jiang Guifei, most of them are these good things." ”

It doesn't matter if Master Jiang can't bear it, there is Jiang Guifei blowing the pillow wind on the left and right, and the emperor is willing to promote, where will there be a shortage of people who do practical things?

But Master Jiang wants to sit firmly in the position of the governor of Sichuan and Shu, and the Jiang family wants to be promoted to the upper class in Beijing, so he has to borrow his in-laws to help.

Marriage is the best of two surnames, who doesn't pick whom?

Jiang Guifei is favored, the Jiaofang Palace is powerful, and she doesn't dare to climb the Yasukuni Mansion and the Liu family at the moment, so she turns a corner and marries the three rooms, and she doesn't look at it on the face, but she can get benefits in the inside.

Mother Zhou still wanted to get these, not to mention the third master, and her mouth became more and more persuasive: "The master is a foreign general, I'm afraid there are other considerations." Madame, don't be busy getting angry and refusing, Mrs. Jiang Si is there and walks around privately according to etiquette, and when the master comes back, it is appropriate for you to take care of it, lest you really make a good thing a bad thing, right? ”

If the Zhou family hadn't been afraid of the third master, he wouldn't have endured the evil fire and followed the old lady just now.

She thought about it for a long time, but finally relented and nodded weakly.

On the surface, the three rooms are calm, but outside because it is the Wanshou Festival soon after the Double Ninth Festival, the officials who entered Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his birthday and returned to Beijing in advance have entered Beijing one after another, but it is a rare and lively group.

The days are always fast under the excitement, and almost in the blink of an eye, the third master Niansan, who embarked on the way home, has changed his carriage and horse, entered Beijing and returned to Yongjia Houfu.

Mrs. Yu lost her temper for a while, and recruited Zhou to go to the main courtyard to scold a few sentences from time to time, and at this time, seeing where the third master was in the mood to pick up the wind and wash the dust, she opened her mouth and sent everyone away, leaving only the third master and his wife, and scolded him, "You can't be stupid for a few years!" Chunran is your daughter-in-law, what did you choose for her husband's family that can't be on the stage? I don't agree with the Jiang family's family affairs! ”

At this moment, where would Zhou make a sound, only to accompany her husband to kneel on the ground and bow his head deeply.

The third master raised his head, first told the news that Master Jiang was expected to be promoted, and then frowned and said: "What my son's wish is nothing more than for the good of the family, for the good of his wife and children." Chunran and the Jiang family's family affairs were decided by their son after weighing and deciding again and again. has already exchanged tokens with Master Jiang, and just waited for his son to return to Beijing to officially make up his mind, and there is no possibility of change, and he also asked his mother to fulfill his son's painstaking efforts. ”

Old Mrs. Yu was stunned first and then angry, and the old hand slapped the table wildly, "I don't care if Master Jiang can't get out!" Master Jiang is just the eldest uncle of Jiang Wugongzi, and I am Chunran's own grandmother! I can't be the master of my granddaughter anymore?! You go! Go and give me the token now to get it back! ”

The third master of Nian was unmoved, bowed his head and kowtowed: "If a person has no faith, he will not stand, and his son will not be able to obey his fate." The son only has two daughters, Qiu Ran's family affairs have been mastered by his mother, and now Qiu Ran has obtained good family affairs by the light of the princess, and the son is grateful to his mother. But Chunran's family affairs, the son can no longer give in. Ask the mother to fulfill the heart of the son as a father. ”

The tone and attitude were all tough, and when he said pleading, he was actually just informing the old lady Yu, and he didn't need the old lady's consent.

Their husband and wife are alive, and their children pay attention to the lives of their parents, and it is tenable to say that the three rooms are broken.

He is not afraid of unfilial piety, and he also bites to death to be close to the Jiang family.

The third old man is sure that the old lady will not and cannot take him again.

He knew the old lady.

Mrs. Yu also knew this son, she was angry and stunned for a long time, she shook her hands and raised her hands, she was reluctant to hit her son, and turned her head to Zhou and roared again, "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

Master Nian San lowered his head and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and kowtowed respectfully on his face, "Mother is angry, and my son will come to talk carefully with his mother in the evening." ”

After that, he picked up Zhou, turned around and strode away, leaving behind the dust that had returned.

Mrs. Yu was angry, sore and painful, the old hand fished it out, grabbed Yu's mother's hand and red-eyed, "How did the third child become so virtuous!" He is good for his family and his wife and daughter, don't I want my family to be good, and I don't want my children and grandchildren to be good? ”

Yu's mother was also annoyed that the third old man didn't speak and act well, but she didn't dare to follow the old lady Yu's meaning, but persuaded the old lady Yu not to be angry, "The third master is used to being the master outside, and there are some people who can't turn the corner for a while......"

She first said peace, for fear that the old lady would be angry.

Old Mrs. Yu couldn't hear it, her old eyes were no longer red, and she glared and said, "Go, go and invite the second child to come over!" ”
