Two days later, Jiang Hongsheng was the host, and he hosted a banquet for his colleagues in the front yard of Jiang's mansion, and Zhang Yiming was present.

Gu, as the hostess, was beside Zhang Luo, and Jiang Hongsheng led him to take a look at his colleagues.

Jiang Hongsheng is a low-key official, and he will also judge the situation, and last time Aunt Zhou's incident, he was scolded by his boss for being bloody, but he fell into the boss's blue eyes.

Taishou Siqing's surname is Li Mingwei, and he has one wife and three concubines in the family.

is just the opposite of the second master Jiang, the wife of the Li Mansion is strong and the concubine is weak, where Li Wei is at night, and the wife does not ask for a day.

After inquiring about the situation of Jiang Fu, Li Wei couldn't help but feel sympathy for Jiang Hongsheng, the difference is that Li Fu's wife and mother's family are prosperous, but Jiang Fu is an aunt with her back against a tree, and the two come and go, but they are also like-minded.

Li Wei saw that Gu's jade and delicate flowers were soft, weak but bright and moving, and he was not the same as the tigress in the family, and he sympathized with the couple more and more, so he showed great enthusiasm for this disguised blind date.

How many children from poor families can't read people's faces? And on the way here, Master Li had already hinted. Zhang Yiming saw Lord Jiang's posture like this, and saw the Jiang family's Zhong Ming Dingshi, Gu's appearance was outstanding, and he expected that his daughter would be like a flower and jade, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and he was a little arrogant at the moment, and he worked hard.

When Jiang Hongsheng saw it, he liked it even more. It is taboo for young people to be proud of their talents, and humility and forbearance are the right way.

This Zhang Yiming is neither humble nor arrogant, not hurried, every word and deed is just right, and he is a talent that can be created.

Li Wei saw the looks of the two of them, he was proud, and for a while, he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the guests were happy.

Gu Shi and Xin Yao sat on a pillar of incense behind the screen and left quietly.

Xin Yao returned to Tingfeng Xuan and locked herself in the study for half a night. Mother Li was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, and she didn't dare to trespass, so she had to guard outside.

Yin time. Xin Yao walked out of the study and only said that she was hungry.

Wei Yun hurriedly put a bowl of freshly cooked corn porridge and brought it to Miss, and Xin Yao served it as a side dish. Eat two bowls in a row, wash up briefly, and go to bed.

In the light moon, Miss Weiyun waited for the bed, put down the tent, blew out the light, closed the door, and went to sleep without talking.

On the second day, as soon as Gu got up, there was a girl back and forth with Miss Four, and Mother Li was waiting outside early in the morning. Busy please come in.

Mother Li told her a rough story in a few words, and when Gu heard it, she was overjoyed and turned around and went into the room.

Jiang Hongsheng entered the yamen and found his boss Li Wei. Implicitly said the meaning. Li Wei drank a lot last night, and he was still dizzy when he got up in the morning, and when he heard the news, he immediately smiled, refreshed, and bluntly said, "Happy event, happy event." Someone was immediately sent to the house to report the news.

Three days later, the matter of the fourth lady of Jiang Fu's meeting with the Yuan family was not far away.

When Jiang Xinyao heard this, she frowned, and her face was a little gloomy.

The old lady got the news from Mama Qian, and her face sank. When Jiang Hongsheng returned home, he sent a girl to call the couple to him. Asked about Huiyuan's family history in detail.

When he heard that the man's family was poor and white, he said sharply with a cold face: "Our Jiang family, although it is not a wealthy family, is rich and glorious, but it is also a family of poetry. Xi Feng is thick, a dignified young lady from the second room of the Jiang family, who has been pampered until now, married to a poor talent, you can figure it out. ”

Jiang Hongsheng glanced at Gu Shi and said busily: "Mother is angry, that Zhang Yiming, I have seen it, full of wealth, outstanding talent, and smart people, he will be successful in the future." I think of Yao'er's girl, who is quiet in nature, gentle and smooth, not good at fighting, and is not suitable for people like a high-ranking family, it is better to find a plain family, and save yourself from being bullied. ”

When the old lady heard this, she was so angry that she couldn't smash the Buddha beads in her son's face.

Sex is quiet, not good at fighting, who to say, your adopted daughter, you can't even tell how many pounds and taels she has, and you keep saying that you are afraid of being bullied.

Hmph, if your daughter is stupid, the Shen family will be bent on it? Will Zhou Xiuyue be grounded? Will the three girls hate her to the bone?

Look at the one standing next to you, it's been more than ten years, and you still hold her in your hands as a baby, how many women in the capital can have this ability? The daughter she gave birth to, if she is stupid, I will write it upside down.

With a snap, the old lady put the Buddha beads heavily on the table.

The couple's hearts trembled, and they quietly changed their eyes.

"Second master, although Xin Yao and Yuan Chen's marriage are all up to you, but this family matter must also be approved by my nod, but it is just a huiyuan, what can it do? The palace test next month, success or failure is difficult to decide. ”

Jiang Hongsheng saw that the old lady's face was gloomy, and hurriedly persuaded: "Old lady, my son found out that this person has a top talent, so he thought about ...... for the four girls."

"You don't have to say any more."

The old lady coldly interrupted her son's words: "If you want me to agree, it's not difficult, the top three in high school, I won't say a word, happily invite someone in, and accompany my old wife to have a cup of tea." If you can't get into the top three, don't blame my wife for turning her face and not recognizing people. Only one of the daughters of my Jiang family is better married than the other, and there is no one who is worse than the other. ”

Jiang Hongsheng was puzzled: "Mother, I heard that Zhang Yiming has written a letter asking his parents to come to the capital from Shandong to discuss marriage, look at this ......"

The old lady sneered a few times and said, "What are you afraid of, you can discuss your relatives and relatives, a day is also a discussion, a month is also a discussion, his parents come, just eat and drink to greet them, and don't mention a word next to them." You said that Zhang Yiming is full of poetry and books, and he is extremely smart, is it difficult to do it, and he doesn't even have the confidence of the top three? ”

Jiang Hongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, if you really win the champion, the people who are all over the capital will ......."

Gu suddenly said loudly: "Master, the old lady has seen a lot of people, and she has also experienced a lot of things, and her eyesight to see people and things is not comparable to us." The old lady was right, but it was a month late, and if he really got into the top three, everyone would be happy. In case he has two hearts after high school, such a person, don't do it. The daughter of our Jiang family, it's not that he doesn't want to marry, it's just that they have a small family and are quiet. ”

The old lady glanced at Gu Shi faintly and sighed, "This is only decent to hear." Don't worry, although I don't like this girl, I will never harm her. Do you think an only son is so easy to be? The whole family is pointing at him! ”

When Gu Shi heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you old lady for thinking about Xin Yao, this matter is something I did wrong with my master." The daughter-in-law was born in a small family, she saw less, and she had little experience, and she asked the old lady to check for the two of us for some things, so as not to do something wrong and harm Xin Yao for the rest of her life. ”

The room was silent for a moment.

The old lady said after a long time: "Get up, it stands to reason that this is a thankless task, why should I bother to do it?" And not for the sake of the two little ones. I also understand that Yuan Qing and Yuan Hang are not reading materials, and the prosperity of Jiang Mansion will all be on Yuan Chen and Yuan Hao in the future. As long as one of them becomes a weapon, our Jiang family can still prosper for decades. The fourth lady is the sister of their in-laws, and if she marries well, she will be able to mention her two younger brothers in the future. ”

Jiang Hongsheng hurriedly said: "It's still the mother who thinks long-term, and the son should go down!" ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, and gave Mama Qian a look, Mama Qian ordered the girl to take out two brocades from the old lady's room, and said, "Master, second wife, this is a New Year's gift from Mrs. Hou a few years ago, and the old lady picked two good ones and made a few new clothes for the fourth lady." ”

Gu was flattered, so he naturally thanked him again and again, and then returned to the courtyard with the master.

After a short time, Chunlan arrived at Tingfeng Xuan, sent the two pieces of cloth that the old lady had rewarded to Miss Four, and while there was no one in the house, she whispered to Miss Four, and ate a few pieces of snacks from the clouds before leaving.

……

That night, Xin Yao tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

When I heard the rain on the second watch, I thought that the rain outside the window hit the plantain and fell into the garden, and gradually calmed down, and after a while, I fell asleep.

On this day, Jiang Mansion was also difficult to sleep, as well as Jiang Yuanchen of Duyu Xuan.

Since I heard that my sister and Zhang Yiming were talking about marriage, Jiang Yuanchen has never slept well. Over the years, he has often exchanged letters with Brother Shen, and he clearly knows that Brother Shen's thoughts about his sister have not changed, and emotionally, he more or less regards Shen Li as his future brother-in-law, so when he heard that his sister was discussing marriage with others, his heart was full of disgust and rejection, but he was helpless, after all, people are small and weak.

In his opinion, such a smart and beautiful woman as his sister can only match a cold and handsome man like Brother Shen.

Jiang Yuanchen has grown to such a big age, and he has only experienced the taste of a dilemma in the past few days. He watched coldly, knowing in his heart that his sister didn't have much affection for Brother Shen, but he was unwilling to watch his sister marry another, how good is this!

The third watch had passed, Jiang Yuanchen took a nap in a daze, and he didn't sleep well.

Xu is the moonlight tonight is particularly charming, and the third person in Jiang Mansion who can't sleep is Mother Li, who has been with Miss since she was a child.

In her eyes, the Jiang family is such a family, the young lady is such a character, and there are a lot of rich young people in the capital for her to choose, how to pick and choose the poor scholars from other places, and there is no decline in the capital.

Mother Li has been from a poor family since she was a child, and she knows very well that people from poor families have accumulated the hope of the whole family.

She didn't know on the side, but she only saw that the two girls of the Zhang family had reached the age of marriage, but they were still in the boudoir, so there was a problem. Besides, in the countryside, in poor families, which man didn't get married early? There are still more laborers in the family, but the Zhang family, the sons are twenty-one, and they don't even have a marriage contract, who believes it?

Mother Li listened to the annoying sound of rain outside, and her heart was full of bad feelings.

Of course, Jiang Xinyao wouldn't know how many people in and outside the house couldn't sleep for her own marriage.

When I woke up, I only felt refreshed. Seeing Mother Li working in the courtyard with two red and swollen eyes, she couldn't bear it in her heart, but she had some words, and it was not time to say them yet.

Xin Yao sighed lightly, and went to Guiyun Hall with Weiyun. (..)
