In fact, Jiang Xinqiong came to the house today, not voluntarily, after inviting the two sisters to get together that day, she didn't like the third sister as a person, and deliberately distanced herself.

Zheng Liang and his people, Jiang Xinqiong has seen it a few times, and privately thinks that whether it is a family background, a family, or a match for the fourth sister, he is deliberately matching, but Zheng Liang is willing to marry the third sister regardless of the difference between his concubines and concubines, Jiang Xinqiong is like eating a mouthful of raw rice, vomiting is not, swallowing is not, and she is depressed.

It stands to reason that a family like the Zheng family asks to marry the third lady, and the old lady can't ask for it, so how can it be unreasonable. The day before the eldest lady returned home, Mrs. Cai Shi, the Marquis of Annan, personally came to the door to say goodbye to the third lady, talking about being a hussar general and General Pang Cong.

Pang Cong has two Chinese New Year's Eve, one wife and four concubines, three sons and two daughters, and his wife died of illness last year, and the position of the main mother is vacant.

The old lady is in a difficult situation.

If you respond to the Pang Mansion, although Pang Cong is high and powerful, and he is very popular, he is a martial artist, he is older, and he is a stepfamily, and there are many children and concubines in the family. How could the pampered daughter of the Jiang family marry into such a family.

But it was the matchmaker personally protected by the Marquis of Annan, and the Cai family came to the door to say that if he didn't go down, this would slap the face of the Hou Mansion and offend the general's mansion together.

Although the Jiang family has an old lady to rely on, it is the old lady who has been married to the Hou Mansion for many years. The second master, a small fourth-grade official, has to look at the face of his boss in the yamen, what can he do?

According to the old lady's intentions, the two young ladies in the house who have not left the cabinet, and the third lady is very suitable for the Zheng family. As for the Pang family, the fourth lady is outstanding, few words, an old husband and a young wife, but she is also a good match. In this way, the face of the Hou Mansion was complete, and he climbed up to a noble family, killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that I had a word with the Gu family at the beginning. The fourth lady, the third master's marriage match is all mastered by the Gu family, and the second master can only be called to him. There are many hints in words.

Jiang Hongsheng's eyebrows tightened, and he sighed: "Yuzhen, Xinshan's matter, what do you think is good?" ”

Gu said with a smile: "The marriage of the third girl, the old lady never let me say more, the second master is the head of this family, why did you ask my opinion today?" ”

Jiang Hongsheng was embarrassed and informed the Gu family about the Hou Mansion saying that General Pang was married, and vaguely said what the old lady meant.

After hearing this, Gu Shi sneered again and again. The jade hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

"Strange way, the old lady called me today. What is the plan, just tell me. ”

Jiang Hongsheng sighed: "The current situation can be described as a dilemma. ”

"What's so difficult or not, both horizontally and vertically are proposed to the third lady, which one does the old lady prefer. Just respond, if the other family retreats, how can there be a reason to become an enemy if you don't get married?"

Gu deliberately said the words 'Third Miss' out loud.

Jiang Hongsheng didn't know, and said bluntly: "That being said, I'm afraid that the old lady has deeper plans, so we have to guard against it." ”

Gu Shi heard his man say this. His face softened slightly, and he said softly: "Please tell the master." ”

"I have been married to you for more than ten years, what are you thinking in your heart, how can I not know? Not to mention letting Yao'er marry Pang Fu, even Shan'er, I don't want to. It's just that the old lady is taking care of the Hou Mansion of Annan. Once this thing is not done, the relationship with the Hou Mansion for many years will be broken, and the old lady will not take this step unless she has to do so. The Hou Mansion is the old lady's maiden home. ”

Gu sneered: "If the Hou Mansion of Annan really cares about the Jiang family, it will not push this matter onto the Jiang family. Could it be that there is not even a young lady of the right age in the Hou Mansion, and he wants to send our Jiang family's daughter to the fire pit, what kind of heart do you have? Master, what kind of life does the second lady of the Sun Mansion live, do you know, a good girl's family is in the courtyard of the deep house all her life, and she can't even go out of the door, what's the use of brocade clothes and jade food? ”

"This matter is not as simple as you think, now the dispute between the prince is the same as fire and water, the Hou Mansion has always been closer to the eldest prince, and General Pang, although he doesn't know a few big words, he is loyal, and his position is very critical, once Jiang Pang gets married, ......"

Jiang Hongsheng didn't say any further, he knew that he and the Gu couple had been able to understand his hardships over the years.

Gu Shi pondered for a moment before he said: "Master, the sacred heart is unpredictable, the concubine body does not understand the major affairs of the court and politics, and only understands one truth, the master indulges the second master, treats the third master strictly, and the family business, I am afraid that I have already had a claim." Master, the emperor is also a human being, and he is also a father, and it is contrary to common sense to not establish a prince for a long time, and the second master can't help but think deeply. ”

Jiang Hongsheng sighed: "Why haven't you thought about it? It's just that the one in the middle palace is afraid that he didn't let go so easily. ”

"The more this is the case, the more you can't make an easy choice, and it's only right to live in peace. Master, if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates, no matter how strong the one in the middle palace is, he is not the Son of Heaven in the end. ”

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say. It is rumored that the one in the middle palace is very similar to the first queen mother, the aunt and nephew have the same temperament, and they have the same temper. If you are a mother, you are strong, but for the sake of your son, how can you stand by and let others slaughter you? ”

Gu's heart was anxious for no reason, and he said without choosing words: "Master, the concubine is all she says, I am a woman, and the major affairs of the court have nothing to do with me, in my heart, in my eyes, I only have one acre and three points of land in the Jiang family." Yao'er is my eyeball, I will raise her for the rest of my life, and I will not let her marry into the Pang Mansion. Although the third lady is not my own child, I can't bear to marry a martial artist with a son and a daughter as my stepfamily, and I will ruin my life. Back then, it was inconvenient for me to talk about the second lady, and we couldn't do anything to sell our women for glory in our second room. ”

Jiang Hongsheng was annoyed and angry, and sat up straight from the bed.

"Why do you say such ugly words as selling women for glory? Back then, the old lady did this for the sake of Jiang's house. The old lady is an old person, and she protects the house everywhere, otherwise, where would we have such a stable life? ”

Seeing that he was annoyed, Gu Shi sneered in his heart, took off his clothes with red eyes, and fell asleep inside, leaving Jiang Hongsheng cold.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongsheng couldn't wait to throw himself away, but he was a little reluctant in his heart, and he was awkward for a long time before he turned off the lights and turned his back to sleep.

The husband and wife didn't say anything all night!

……

On the second day, Jiang Xinyao learned from Li's mother that the old lady wanted to give her to Pang Mansion as a stepmother, and her heart ached, and she sighed and then said nothing.

Mother Li looked at Miss's appearance and said distressedly: "Miss, don't be afraid, Mom is fighting for her life." will not let you marry into the Pang family. The old lady's heart is too biased, obviously she is a kiss to the third lady, and she wants you to jump into the fire pit. ”

Jiang Xinyao was silent for a long time and said, "Mom." Don't be anxious, things are not yet that step, you first go and inquire about the movement of Qiushui Courtyard last night, and I will write a letter when you go back, and you will send it to Yiyuan. ”

Mother Li hesitated for a moment, but still responded.

Jiang Xinyao leaned on the concubine's floor, pondered the matter carefully, and said in her heart, yesterday's mother was still asking what kind of man she wanted to marry, and now the old lady prepared the man for Xinyao. A widower with a dead wife, a group of concubines, four concubines in the backyard, and a widower who is a few years older than his father.

Jiang Xinyao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In his previous life, middle-aged men had three major pleasures: promotion. Get rich, die wife.

The ancestral tomb of the Pang family smoked straight up, General Pang was in a high position, not to mention the emperor's favor, he was middle-aged, and he coincidentally died of his wife. Wang Baochuan has been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years, and he will marry Lori after the death of General Pang's bad wife for a year. What a shocking comparison.

That's it, she Jiang Xinyao has no plans to become the stepmother of five teenage children, and the kindness of the old lady is more suitable for her pampered third lady. It not only satisfied her desire to marry into a wealthy family and step into the aristocratic circle, but also satisfied her to become the wife of the main house. The anticipation of trampling the concubine under his feet. As for General Pang's three sons and two daughters, the right is a small embellishment in the life of the general's wife, which is harmless.

Mother Li entered the room, saw that the young lady was smiling weirdly, and hurriedly said, "Miss." What's so funny? ”

Xin Yao came back to her senses and said with a half-smile: "It's not a big deal, but I just thought that if the third sister knew that the old lady was so partial to me, I don't know what the mood would be." Mom, how is it on Mother's side? ”

Mother Li's face was slightly ugly and said: "The old man left the house early in the morning and went to the yamen, and breakfast was used in the old lady's room." ”

"What about Mother?"

"The second wife is nothing, and she takes care of the family affairs as usual. Today, the eldest grandmother asked the second wife to go to the street to buy some New Year's goods, and she was not empty. ”

Xin Yao sighed: "As long as my father rests in Qiushui Courtyard, he has always had breakfast in his mother's room before going to the Yamen, and last night my mother was afraid that it was for me, so she had an argument with my father." ”

Mother Li said angrily: "Could it be that the second master really wants the young lady to marry the third lady to the Pang Mansion." ”

Xin Yao said coldly: "It shouldn't be, my father is still clear, and he will take care of his mother somewhat." Mom, I don't need to write the letter, you go to Yiyuan to spread a message, and ask the little uncle to inquire about General Pang. If he asks, tell the truth. In the house, you let people spread the word, and come with your ears, you just have to say that. ”

……

Overnight, everyone in the Jiang Mansion knew that the third miss had fallen out of favor in front of the old lady because Aunt Zhou had fallen out of favor, and the marriage in the general's mansion was preempted by the fourth lady.

There are even better deeds, turning out the old accounts of the past, saying that the second wife has been suppressed by Aunt Zhou for so many years, and the fourth lady has a grudge. The marriage between the third lady and the Shen family was also because the fourth lady did it deliberately, so it failed to achieve good things.

Before these words reached the ears of the old lady, they were heard by the little girl in the courtyard of the third lady.

The autumn equinox turned around and told Jiang Xinshan quickly. Jiang Xinshan laughed angrily, and just wanted to pull out her legs to find the old lady to theorize, but she couldn't help it.

The girl on the autumn equinox, who is not very old, but has a lot of eyes, saw that the third lady's face was uncertain, so she stepped forward and said: "Miss, think of a way, it's too late, this general's wife will fall on the fourth lady."

Jiang Xinshan thought for a moment and said, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”

The autumn equinox said with a smile: "Miss, the slave maid can hear it clearly, it was Mrs. Annanhou who came to the door in person, and it was you, Miss." The next day, the eldest lady returned home, and also told the young lady that she was talking about Zheng Liang, the grandson of the country's priest and the grandson of the wine, who was a showman, and was eighteen this year. The old lady called the second lady for some reason, and then there was news that the old lady wanted to marry you to the Zheng family and let the fourth lady marry you to the general's mansion on your behalf. ”(..)
