Chapter 2 The Concubine
The eldest princess burst into tears. His grandson is not only noble-born, but also handsome and filial. No matter which grandson marries such an unbearable woman, it is a harm to the grandson. For the sake of her husband and grandson, she felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Houye said, "Mother, for the sake of my father, no matter what the daughter of the Lu family is, she has to marry into the door." If her father's illness is not cured, it means that the Lu family did not play a role in chongxi, gave her a sum of silver, and left the house, so that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. If my father's illness is cured, then the Lu family will change her ways, and our house can accommodate her. If she is really unbearable, let her live in another courtyard, and then marry her son-in-law to a flat wife. ”
The eldest princess thought about it, so she had to do so, so she nodded in agreement.
The eldest princess of Changting and the old concubine Jiang Ping have three sons, the eldest son Jiang Yuanhong, the second son Jiang Yuanzhao, and the third son Jiang Yuanchong.
Jiang Hou Ye has two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son, Jiang Zhanju, is twenty-three years old this year (uncle) and has already married. The second son, Jiang Zhanxun (sixth master), is eleven years old. Daughter Jiang Ling, 20 years old, is married.
The second master Jiang has four sons and one daughter, the eldest son (second master) died, and the eldest son Jiang Zhanwei is nineteen years old (third master), and he has been married, and he will be married in two months. The second son, Jiang Zhanyu, is fifteen years old (the fifth master) and has not yet decided to marry. The fourth son, Jiang Zhankui (eighth master), is also a concubine, six years old. There is also a concubine, who is also six years old.
The third master Jiang has three sons, and the eldest son, Jiang Zhankun (the fourth master), is fifteen years old and is discussing marriage. The second son, Jiang Zhanpeng (seventh master), is ten years old. The third son, Jiang Zhanyan, is five years old (ninth master).
The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth masters who have not decided to marry are fifteen, fifteen, eleven, ten, six, and five years old. The last four are too young to marry, so the most suitable ones are only the fourth master Jiang Zhankun and the fifth master Jiang Zhanyu.
Jiang Zhankun is discussing marriage, although it has not been finalized, it has already been discussed. Moreover, the eldest princess felt most sorry for the third master, and she was unwilling to let Jiang Zhankun marry Lu Man from the bottom of her heart. She turned her eyes to the second master, and the marquis Jiang and the third master also knew the old lady's thoughts.
They all know that Jiang Zhanyu is the heart of the second master Jiang and the second lady Lin, and the second master Jiang is afraid of guilt. But there is no way, someone has to marry Lu Man, and the life of the old colt is more important than anything else.
Jiang Houye knocked and said, "This is related to the life and death of my father, and the second brother must persuade his younger brothers and sisters to focus on the overall situation." ”
The second master didn't dare to say no at this time, and hurriedly agreed to go back to the house to discuss with his wife. Half an hour later, he returned to the main hall and saw that the eldest and third brothers were still there.
The second old man wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to the eldest princess of the Changting Pavilion, "Mother, I discussed with the Lin family, Zhanyu is doing well in his schoolwork, and his husband said that he will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi examination, so it is not good to distract him." Let's let Zhan Wei marry the daughter of the Lu family......"
Jiang Houye exclaimed, "Zhan Wei has already decided on the daughter of the Shu family, and she will be married in two months." This is for my father, I can't let the daughter of the Lu family be a concubine. ”
The second old man blushed and said, "It's okay, return Zhan Wei's current family affairs, and give the Shu family some compensation...... Dad's situation is special, let's make enough gestures to let others know that our withdrawal is not bad for the Shu family's daughter, but for filial piety, and it will not affect the Shu family's daughter to get married again, they will be able to understand. ”
The third old man said, "The daughter of the Shu family is about to get married, and at this time, can they be willing?" Master Shu is stubborn, he doesn't eat hard and soft, and if he doesn't get it, he will go up to impeach his mother and us. ”
Master Shu is the head of the six departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the four products, and his temperament is upright. The one who is married to Jiang Zhanwei is his granddaughter Shu Mingwei.
The second master wiped his sweat again and said, "Retirement is for filial piety." Let's just say that the other sons and daughters of the family don't agree with the Lu family, only Zhan Wei is suitable. Even if the Shu family is unwilling, there is no reason to hinder us from respecting filial piety and saving our father. ”
The eldest princess of Changting also felt more sorry for Jiang Zhanyu, and felt that Jiang Zhanyu was the only sister-in-law of her second son, and her schoolwork was also very good, and it was a loss to marry the daughter of the Lu family. But being rejected by the Lin family like this is still very unhappy.
She put down the tea bowl in her hand and scolded, "Look at your little talent, you have been led by your daughter-in-law for more than 20 years." I usually don't talk about it, but at this time your ears are still so soft, is your daughter-in-law's words more important than your father's life? ”
The second master hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mother, you are ashamed of your son." This has nothing to do with the Lin family, she didn't say anything, it was her son's consideration. Zhan Weiwen is not a martial artist, and he is a concubine, so he can't contribute to the family at all. Now is the time to use him, he has enjoyed the wealth given by the family, and he should share the responsibilities of the family. Besides, the door of the Shu family is not high, and this in-law is of no use to Zhanwei and our house. Zhanyu is different, he is a son-in-law, and if he is admitted to the Jinshi in the future, he will definitely be able to find a good ......."
The second master didn't lie, he went back and told the second lady Lin about it, but Lin pursed his lips and didn't say a word. The second master saw that his daughter-in-law was unwilling, so he took the initiative to think of this idea.
The eldest princess of Changting was already distressed by her grandson Jiang Zhanyu more than her grandson Jiang Zhanwei, and when she saw that her father was like this, she agreed. The grandmother and father agreed, and it was not easy for the marquis Jiang and the third master to say much.
After several people discussed, they hurriedly went to retreat with the Shu family. The Shu family couldn't afford to provoke the princess of Changting, so they were forcibly withdrawn. Although the eldest princess's mansion compensated five thousand taels of silver, it could not calm the anger of Lord Shu. He not only scolded the Jiang brothers, but also went to the Golden Palace to complain to the emperor, saying that the eldest princess of the Changting Pavilion was untrustworthy and scolded her grandson.
The Jiang brothers knew that they were at a loss, and they didn't dare to say much when they were scolded by Lord Shu, but only argued that they were also for filial piety. Especially Hou Ye Jiang, he is the peak of Lord Shu, and this family business is still guaranteed by him, so he has to apologize to Lord Shu with a red face.
Of course, the emperor was looking at his sister, and comforted Lord Shu a few words, but he didn't care too much.
After retiring from his family, Jiang Houye asked the matchmaker to go to Lu's house to propose marriage. When the old lady of the Lu family heard that her second granddaughter had climbed the mansion of the princess of Changting, she was crazy with joy. Secretly, the grandfather of the mourning star ruined the good future of his two sons, and now he was finally able to make up for it, so he did not hesitate to accept this family business.
After all this was done, the second master informed Jiang Zhanwei that he was ready to be the groom. As for whether Jiang Zhanwei was happy or not, they didn't think about any ideas.
The eldest princess of Changting still felt a little sorry for that grandson, although it was a concubine, it was also her blood and bones. He very generously gave him Lan Tingzhou, a resting place to go to the garden and mirror lake, and gave him five thousand taels of silver in private.
Jiang Zhanwei knew that he had been withdrawn and married, so he gritted his steel teeth and didn't say a word, it was useless to say. He's a concubine, and he's only worth that price. Before her death, her biological mother told him that she should be patient, take good care of her younger siblings, and when the house is divided in the future, good days will come. But......
