Chapter 91: The Meng Family's Banquet
The incident of the reconciliation of the Meng and Zhang families shocked many people in the capital, and what made people talk about it even more was that Mrs. Zhang's two children had changed to the genealogy of their mother's family with her, which was a unique thing.
Many people thought that Jiang Ziyu was helping the Zhang family, but the people from the Yamen released the news, saying that this was the emperor's intention, and the forbidden princess did not intervene, which was even more shocking.
Mrs. Zhang's things were quickly cleared out by the Meng family, and Mrs. Zhang simply threw away all those things and didn't leave any of them. She didn't go back to her parents' house to live, but bought a three-entry house outside, and posted posts to many friends in the past to eat and drink on the day of the move.
"Those who make friends with power will be desperate, and those who benefit will be scattered. Mother, look away, it's a good thing. Meng Yuanren looked at the few people in the courtyard who were like morning stars, and was afraid that his mother would be sad, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.
Mrs. Zhang sighed, reached out and rubbed Sissi's head, and said, "I know, mother is fine. β
Meng Yuanren knew that his mother was strong, so he was afraid that he would be sad at this time, so he whispered to Qianqian to make his mother happy, and he held up the scene to deal with these people.
Not all of the people who came were Mrs. Zhang's close friends, and there were also some people who stammered with her on weekdays, but they looked down on her in their hearts, and they came to see the jokes when they saw her down.
"If you want me to say that you are too impulsive, but you are a dusty woman, you will pass with one eye open and one eye closed, why make such a fuss? Both sides have lost face, not to mention, your position as Mrs. Hou has also been handed over, and even the little Hou Ye has become a little son, and the gains outweigh the losses. β
A lady was still using her own narrow views to persuade and preach, but Mrs. Zhang held her breath and didn't bother to argue with them.
"This is a bad word, serving the same man under the same roof as the woman in the dust, what is it?" Jiang Ziyu took Nan Qian'an to come over to eat and drink, mainly because Nan Qian'an missed Qianqian, and she also came by to support Mrs. Zhang's faΓ§ade.
"Your Majesty, Princess Wan'an." The ladies saw clearly that everyone was coming and closed their mouths to salute them, Jiang Ziyu waved his hand casually, and said lightly: "This palace is just here to eat and drink today, so let's skip the courtesy." β
The ladies got up and sat back, Xingyu walked over with several delicate boxes, Jiang Ziyu beckoned to Qianqian, got up and smiled after a while: "An'er has to practice martial arts in the morning, so she came late." β
Mrs. Zhang was full of gratitude, she also knew that the princess was here to support her, and when she came today, others could not bully their orphans and widows, Mrs. Zhang happily stretched out her hand to invite Jiang Ziyu into the table: "It's not too late, it's not too late, the banquet hasn't opened yet, it's just the right time." β
Nan Qian'an has been following Jiang Ziyu obediently, but his eyes are glancing at the little girl who is dressed in festivity. Jiang Ziyu naturally found out, and said softly: "Go play with Sissi and take care of your sister." β
"Got it, Auntie." Nan Qian'an was happy when he got the words, but because there were many people in this place, he knew that he had a stiff face, so he pretended to be serious and walked to the backyard with him.
Mrs. Zhang didn't expect the emperor to like her own Qianqian so much, and she also knew in her heart how nosy Jiang Ziyu was.
Later, he personally went to the yamen to help solve the problem of raising the child, and quietly asked her to send her daughter to the palace. Now it has been brought out again and again, I am afraid that the emperor himself likes Sissi very much.
And the ladies on the side are alive again, Mrs. Zhang is indeed not Mrs. Hou now, but it seems that she is very embarrassed in front of the forbidden princess, and so far the forbidden princess has only participated in the banquet twice, once when the Wei family has not fallen, she went up to Jiang Qing's face, and later fell out with the Jiang family, and she didn't look at her face to the Jiang family again.
Once again, it was this time, and they came with the emperor on purpose, but they didn't know that Qian Qian and the emperor had a good time, so they thought that Jiang Ziyu deliberately brought the emperor up to raise the faΓ§ade of the Zhang family.
Besides, this Mrs. Zhang also has a champion son, and now she is being favored by the prince, and some of her brains react quickly are also clear, which is not necessarily a bad thing for Mrs. Zhang, but can make her son go further in his career.
After all, everyone knows that Nan Huaifeng gave two champions, one of which was to suppress Meng Yuanren, Meng Yuanren was born in the clan of the little marquis, if his family atmosphere is too heavy, I am afraid that he will not be able to go far in the officialdom.
Jiang Ziyu quietly glanced at the expressions of the people around him, and he didn't need to think about it to know what they were thinking about. But this is not something she is worried about, after this matter, Mrs. Zhang should know which people sincerely regard her as a friend, and she came to tell others that Mrs. Zhang has not left this circle.
"Princess, the emperor and Sissi ......" Mrs. Zhang's face was a little embarrassed, she didn't care what others thought of her, and now she had more important things to confirm.
Jiang Ziyu knew what she was going to ask, took a sip of tea and only said vaguely: "It is natural for children to have a good time, Madame don't think so much for the time being." β
Mrs. Zhang's expression was a little unnatural, the emperor liked Sissi as his sister, so she was naturally happy. But if she had other thoughts, she would not be happy. Don't look at the emperor's young age now, when he is a little older, the civil and military officials will definitely be in a hurry to let him fill the harem in the draft.
But how old can Sissi be at that time, and when Sissi is almost old before entering the palace, she can't be bullied? Now Sissi doesn't have a strong mother's family, and the emperor's love is not a happy event for her.
Jiang Ziyu just chuckled and didn't say anything, An'er herself couldn't tell what kind of liking he liked, now the child was only eleven years old, she was not in a hurry about these things.
As for what Mrs. Zhang thinks in her heart, she can't control it. If An'er still likes it in the future, then it is inevitable to take people by his side, but it is still too early to say this, and Jiang Ziyu is reluctant to mention it.
For such a perfunctory answer, Mrs. Zhang could only chuckle lightly, hoping that the little emperor would have a new playmate in the future, and forgot about Sissi. At the same time, she also sighed a little in her heart, her status is not high, and she has to weigh it again and again if she even marries high.
Jiang Ziyu didn't eat much of the food at this table, she was fed by the chef of the Forbidden Palace, and she just took a glass of wine and gently sipped the wine. Not long after, Nan Qian'an came back from the backyard, and he came out counting the time.
"Auntie, it's time for the imperial uncle to come back from the barracks, let's go back to the palace too, there are still excerpts to see." Nan Qian'an's tone of voice was very calm, and he couldn't see the appearance of a child at all. He's just decided on something that's important to him, so he's going to work on it.
Jiang Ziyu put down his wine glass and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Since this is the case, we will leave first." β
Mrs. Zhang got up to send it off, but Jiang Ziyu waved her hand to stop her. The four of them went back to the carriage again, and Jiang Ziyu touched his stomach and thought about going back to eat with Nan Huaifeng.
"Auntie, can I marry Sissi in the future?" Nan Qian'an asked seriously with a small face, Jiang Ziyu chuckled lightly and said, "Do you know the concept of marrying?" β
The little emperor nodded vigorously and said, "I know, just like the emperor's uncle and aunt." β
"But you are the emperor, and you will marry many people in the future, will Sissi agree?" Jiang Ziyu asked with a smile, this kid really likes Qianqian, but also, that little girl is really attractive.
Nan Qian'an frowned and pursed her lips, as if she didn't quite understand, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to marry so many people?" β
"Because you are the emperor, when you are the emperor, you will naturally have three palaces and six courtyards to prolong your heirs." Jiang Ziyu was not instilling this idea in Nan Qian'an, but testing his thoughts.
Nan Qian'an wrinkled his eyebrows with dissatisfaction, remembered what Jiang Ziyu said two days ago, raised his head and asked, "Auntie, didn't you say that as long as it is insignificant to the country, I can do whatever I want?" β
"Yes, but it is also very important to extend the heirs, otherwise there will be no successor to the country?" Jiang Ziyu continued to guide, Nan Qian'an didn't realize it, he just thought about this question seriously, and then looked serious.
"It's better not to marry so much, otherwise it will be as chaotic as now, it's better for a brother to be a brother, like a father and an uncle." Nan Qian'an thinks that his reason is very good, marry fewer women, isn't it that nothing?
Jiang Ziyu chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said slowly by leaning against the window: "In fact, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, and prosper, no one will care how many people you marry, provided that you have an heir." β
Nan Qian'an nodded and understood what her aunt meant, clenched her little hand into a fist, and said, "As long as I arrange things in an orderly manner, I can only marry Sissi." β
"If you want to marry Sissi, don't say you're still a child, when you grow up, Sissi is still young." Jiang Ziyu reached out and pinched An'er's nose, this kid thought too early.
Nan Qian'an disagreed, "Uncle Huang only got married when he was weak and crowned, I'm not in a hurry." β
Jiang Ziyu couldn't help but chuckle again, this kid probably didn't know what love was, let him go, if he still only likes Sissi in a few years, it's not too late to let the Zhang family leave their daughter at home.
After all, as long as the Zhang family doesn't leave the capital, this girl can't go to another house.
Nan Qian'an didn't know that Jiang Ziyu had already planned for him, and he was still working hard to learn from the imperial uncle and the princes, so that he could master the government with ease earlier, so it would be much easier to marry only one in the future.
The most incredible thing about this is Nan Huaifeng, in the past, An'er had worked hard enough, but he still had the nature of a child, and in the past few days, he has been working harder and harder, and he has become active in discussing state affairs, as if he has changed his personality.
Jiang Ziyu told him about Qianqian, and Nan Huaifeng just smiled - his nephew will take precautions, so he will think clearly about the future and put it into action, which is with his father.
In this way, it seems that he doesn't have to worry about An'er's character in the future, he must be a Ming Jun, yes, he is still a shrewd Ming Jun.
