Chapter 63: The Return
Walked out of the Hanging Flower Gate, walked a long road, and finally arrived in front of the shadow wall where the carriage was parked.
In front of the house of Tao Mansion is a very magnificent eight-character shadow wall, because it is carved with a pair of lifelike wild geese spreading their wings, it is also called the wild goose wing shadow wall.
After seeing Tao and Jiang Zhiming get into the carriage, the little maid who showed them the way dared to turn around and go back. She was instructed by Mrs. Tao to send Tao and Jiang Zhiming back to her home, and she had to watch Tao and Jiang Zhiming get into the carriage before she could leave, otherwise she would not be able to pay the difference when she went back.
On the carriage, as soon as Tao remembered what Jiang Zhiming and Tao Qian said in the Tao Mansion just now, she was angry in her heart, her precious son, even if he married a girl from a down-and-out scholar family, he would never marry a girl from a merchant family.
The merchant has always been very cunning and calculating, and the girl who came out must not be a good stubble, and it is possible that she will also use Jiang Zhiming to plot the family property of Wuhou Mansion. She will never let Jiang Zhiming marry a scourge and return home!
"Know, you just heard how those people are talking about your eldest aunt behind their backs, right? Your eldest aunt is the daughter of a tenant in a country grange, if it weren't for your eldest uncle who fell in love with her at first sight, your eldest uncle would have begged your grandfather and grandmother, otherwise, with your eldest aunt's background, he would not have been able to climb into our Tao family. Dow sat on the soft pillow and looked at Jiang Zhiming who opened the curtain and looked out on the other side.
"With such a background as the eldest uncle, the eldest uncle can fall in love with her at first sight and marry her home. Miss Gu's background is much better than that of her eldest aunt, why do I want to marry a girl from the Gu family, but my mother insists on refusing? Does my mother want me to die before my mother agrees to me?" Jiang Zhiming pulled down the curtain and turned his head to look at Tao fixedly.
"Knowing, you are a piece of meat that fell out of your mother's belly, and you are the concubine in the mansion, and you will inherit the title of Marquis of Dingwu in the future. Your wife shouldn't be a girl from that background! Your eldest uncle does not need to inherit any titles, and your second and third uncles in the house were all born to your maternal grandmother, and they will inherit your grandfather's position in the future, so what your eldest uncle wants to marry, your maternal grandfather and grandmother will naturally agree. ”
Tao began to persuade Jiang Zhiming again, she didn't have any prejudices against the Gu family's girl, she just didn't want Jiang Zhiming to marry a merchant's daughter back.
"Your cousin's family affairs have already been said, and the five girls of the Jinping Fan family have been promised. The five girls of the Jinping Fan family are from the Fan family's room, and they were raised in the old lady's room of the Fan family, and the old lady of the Fan family is from the maternal family of the current Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is still a cousin, and she can talk in the same palace. So your cousin's family business will only be good, not bad. Tao didn't want his son to be compared to others, let alone a son born to a tenant like Mrs. Tao.
"The cousin has known the girl of the Fan family since he was a child, and the eldest uncle sent the cousin to the private school of the Fan family to study, and the cousin knows the character of the girl of the Fan family, and he also gets along with the girl of the Fan family. That's why my grandfather asked my uncle to go to Fan's house to talk about this family business. Jiang Zhiming personally poured a cup of tea for Tao, and then sat beside her.
"When your cousin was able to go to the Fan family private school to study, it was not because of your grandfather's light, the old lady of the Fan family and your grandfather were classmates, and they studied in the same school. Otherwise, with your uncle's connections, it is absolutely impossible to send your cousin to study at Fan's private school! Tao took the teacup handed by Jiang Zhiming, didn't drink it, and put it aside to cool.
"Jinping's Fan family is a family of more than a dozen scholars, and there are people in the family who are officials in the imperial court, and your father is still a colleague. If you can marry a girl from the Fan family like your cousin, your career will be smoother in the future. Tao looked at Jiang Zhiming on the other side and said lightly.
"Mother, haven't I told you so many times? I don't want to marry a girl from the Yang family, the Ruan family, the Fan family, and I don't want to marry a Mu Xiaojun lord, I only want to marry a girl from the Gu family, I like the girl from the Gu family, I am willing to marry her. Others, I won't touch them! Jiang Zhiming told Tao again about his demands, hoping that she would listen.
"The girl of the Gu family? Does she know you like her? Does she like you too? My son! You don't have to be wishful thinking anymore, if you don't make it clear to other girls, you will only hurt other girls in the end. Tao took Jiang Zhiming's hand tightly and reminded him.
"Mother, I know what the character of the girl from the Gu family is. I also know that she has a heart for me, and although she is a merchant girl, she is not a cunning and calculating person. Please don't think your daughter-in-law is so unbearable! She is living with me for the rest of her life, not with your mother! As soon as Jiang Zhiming's words fell, he instructed the coachman to stop the car, then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and walked back alone.
Seeing Jiang Zhiming hurriedly got out of the carriage, Mrs. Qin, who was in the car outside the car, was busy getting into the carriage, she was the mother-in-law of the Tao family who married from the Tao family, and her words still had a certain weight.
He said: "Madam, Brother Zhiming is old, so he always has to have some ideas of his own." Since he has a girl he likes, his wife should not forcibly stuff him with a girl he doesn't like. This made Brother Ming unhappy, and it also affected the relationship between your mother and son. ”
"What other mother-son relationship do we have? He was raised in the old lady's house, and he only had his grandmother in his heart, where would I be?"
As soon as Tao finished speaking, he instructed Mrs. Qin: "Go find a few people to follow Brother Zhiming, and then go and deliver a message to the stone that Brother Zhiming is waiting by, since he has followed Brother Zhiming since he was a child, he should always persuade Brother Zhiming to Brother Zhiming, if I know that he takes Brother Zhiming to Punpu, I will definitely break his legs." ”
"Madam, I'm afraid that's not right, isn't it? Brother Shi is the person next to Brother Zhiming, if you let him monitor Brother Zhiming, how can this Brother Shi be willing?" Qin Pozi thought about it for a long time, but still said the worries in her heart.
"Since he is a self-absorbed person by Brother Zhiming'er's side, he should be for Brother Ming'er's good. You just need to do what I tell you, if Brother Zhiming and the old lady ask, you can say that I ordered it, and let Brother Zhiming and the old lady come to me. Tao said, and suddenly remembered that there was an old lady in the house who was protecting Jiang Zhiming.
"Mrs. Qin, didn't I tell you to install a few maids by the old lady and Feng Shuiling's side a few days ago, can you order the people below to do it?" Dow picked up the cup of tea that had cooled and took a sip of it.
"The old lady's courtyard is her usual maid, and the slave maid ordered someone to send three batches of little maids in, but Zhang's mother in the old lady's courtyard refused, saying that there was no shortage of people around the old lady, and asked me to send my wife here. Aunt Feng's place, the slave maid has already placed someone in it, but the master often goes to Aunt Feng's, but I'm afraid that it won't be long! When Mrs. Qin spoke, her heart hung in her heart, for fear that she had done something wrong and annoyed Tao.
"Being able to place people in Feng Shuiling's courtyard shows that you are also attentive. Feng Shuiling is a city house, protected by the old lady and the old man, and has fought with me in the ring several times, if I hadn't been busy with Brother Ming's marriage during this time, I would have cleaned her up. Dow leaned on the soft pillow, looking weak.
Her health has been bad recently, and she invited two or three doctors to take a look, but she didn't say why, so she thought about getting Jiang Zhiming's marriage done quickly. Only by handling Jiang Zhiming's marriage can she put her mind at ease.
