In the evening of the same day, after Jiang Yashuang came back, Qiu Lulan told him what happened on Jiang Yawan's side: "...... After such a fuss under the festival, my grandmother was so angry that she had to tell people not to tell her grandfather. ”

Jiang Yashuang frowned when she heard this: "Why is such a thing happening?" ”

"Jing Man is a little strange!" Qiu Yulan thought to herself, who called the family rules useless, the children of the Jiang family are still messing with flowers, there are too many people in the backyard and there are no rules, how can there be no fighting? ! After this fight, what kind of miscarriage, murder, etc., can there not be much? She didn't bother to discuss this topic with Jiang Yashuang, so she said to herself, "I don't think he's worried about being heavily punished by the fifth brother at all, but it seems that he expects the eldest brother to go to relieve him!" ”

"Jing Man?" Jiang Yashuang groaned, "Is there such a thing? He pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "I'll look it up when I go back!" See if there's anything going on! ”

This matter was discussed here for the time being, Jiang Yashuang asked her nephew and children, and when she learned that everything was fine, she said: "I see that Lu He's qualifications are very good, and he has worked very hard these days, and I plan to officially accept him into the house after the New Year." After all, he will tie his hair after the New Year, in addition to studying, it is time to go out and walk around to save some contacts and prepare for his future career. It's easier for him to settle down on the name. ”

Lu He is the most orthodox kind of Zhenbei Army's children, his father and mother's ancestors have been inextricably linked with the Zhenbei Army for several generations, and his cousins, uncles and the like are all from the Zhenbei Army - this kind of background is naturally classified into the military, and it is inevitable that he will be squeezed out by the soldiers, which is not conducive to the development of the formation of contacts.

So Jiang Yashuang planned to let him use his disciple to enter the circle of scholars, after all, Jiang Yashuang was born in Tanhua, and he grew up in Beijing, and he had been in the court for so many years. Lu He introduced to others that he was Jiang Yashuang's student, which was much easier to mix with than to introduce his father to the deceased personal guard of Zhenbei Bo.

Hengzhu Jiang Yashuang had already taken a fancy to his income, and he wanted to give him a long-term plan.

Qiu Yulan asked, "So what preparations do you have to make?" ”

"No need, just let him give me a bowl of tea when the time comes." Jiang Yashuang said, "I will invite a few people to be present to witness...... It's enough to set a table and a banquet in our yard. ”

Qiu Yulan responded, asked for the specific date, wrote it on apricot blossom note, and pressed it to the corner of the desk, so as not to forget it when you got it.

Lu He's matter is not over here, Jiang Yashuang said: "Calculate that he will be fifteen in the next year, and it is time to discuss marriage." I asked Mu Zixuan, the girl he could tell Lu He was not out of the Zhenbei Army, but this was not very appropriate. After all, although Lu He is good at writing, he has no talent in cavalry archery, and he is not very good at military strategy. ”

Although there are civilians in the army, but civilian cavalry and archery must also be passable, otherwise the army will be set up, and the main generals will ride horses in full armor, and you will get a sedan chair or carriage or something, like words?

Lu He is not good at military strategy, and obviously he can't mix up the position of the military advisor, so Jiang Yashuang feels that he went to the army purely to find abuse - when Mu Zixuan took him back to Beijing, it is estimated that this was also taken into account.

"How many daughters are you going to pick for him?" As a prospective wife, Qiu Yulan has seen Lu He several times, that is a typical Northland athlete, only fourteen years old, already extremely burly, with a slightly dark complexion, but a dignified appearance.

Although Jiang Yashuang said that he was not good at riding and archery, and he couldn't mix in the Zhenbei army, but this was only compared with the elite border army, and compared with those scholars who were powerless, Lu He's little skill could barely be regarded as both civil and military.

Therefore, Qiu Yulan felt that it was not difficult for him to find his father-in-law, especially Jiang Yashuang personally handled it for him.

"The last time the ninth brother-in-law saw Lu He, he was a little moved, and then asked him if he had a marriage contract intentionally or unintentionally." Jiang Yashuang groaned, "It's just that the ninth sister rarely comes back, and I haven't seen a few nephews and nieces for a long time, I don't know what they are like now?" After all, I plan to cultivate Lu He, but I don't want to hastily give it to him for the sake of kinship! ”

In recent years, the mutual restraint of the master-apprentice relationship has caused many times that the proud disciple is more reliable than the son, let alone the niece. Jiang Yashuang easily found a disciple she liked, but she didn't want to give it to her relatives as a son-in-law. In case a pair of resentful couples are achieved at that time, they trap their apprentices, and cause the master and apprentice to be separated, then the loss will be big - his nephew Jiang Jingkun and eldest son Jiang Jinglang are still young, and they can't be counted on for more than ten years.

Before the male heirs raised under his knees grow up, the resources in Jiang Yashuang's hands will be mainly tilted towards Lu He. Even if the male heir under his knees shows that he is not of great use, Lu He may even become the heir to all Jiang Yashuang's political resources in the future - just like after Xue Rongying was seriously injured before, Xue Chang immediately chose to increase his support for Qiu Jinglan - so high hopes, Jiang Yashuang naturally would not make Lu He resentful for the sake of marriage. For this, he does not mind sweeping the face of his relatives.

However, if the children of his relatives are good, he does not mind that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

"Ninth Sister?" Qiu Yulan narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, how can this Jiang Qilai rarely come back? I've been married for a few years, and I haven't seen her except for the day I got married, okay?!

"I saw her once when I walked in the door, and she didn't bring her niece or niece!" You don't even know how the children under her knees are doing, let alone me? It's almost the New Year now, or I'm going to ask her to bring the children back this year? It's just that she hasn't come back in previous years, and I don't know if she will agree this year? ”

Jiang Yashuang groaned: "You go to invite someone first, if she doesn't say she will come back, I will personally invite it when the time comes." After thinking for a while, he said, "This year is different, after all, since the ninth brother-in-law has that meaning, he will also find an opportunity for us to see what the nieces look like now." The opportunity of the New Year, I think that the ninth brother-in-law will not let it go. ”

Qiu Yulan looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.

After a stalemate, Jiang Yashuang said helplessly: "Okay, it's okay to tell you, it's just that this matter is more embarrassing: Sister Nine is not necessarily her father's child, so she rarely comes back after leaving the cabinet, and she usually doesn't like to associate with us." ”

"......" Qiu Yulan was dumbfounded, "Then whose child is she?!" ”

She has long felt that Jiang Qilai's sister-in-law is weird, she didn't mention it before, just talk about what she has seen since she passed the door: she doesn't show up for the New Year's Day, don't say it, two years ago, the Marquis of Jibei passed away, Jiang Tianchi and his wife returned one after another, and they didn't see her come back to ask for a peace - I originally thought it was a situation like Qiu Baozhu, and when I was a girl, I was treated badly by my mother-in-law, and I was like escaping after leaving the pavilion, and I refused to go back to my parents' house!

It's just that when Mrs. Zhuang came back before, she seemed to be indifferent to this concubine, unlike Concubine Yang, who was full of hatred for Qiu Baozhu - Mrs. Zhuang had no ill will towards Jiang Qilai, but she also had no kindness, more like a stranger.

In short, the relationship between Jiang Qilai and the fourth room of the Jiang family is really incomprehensible.

I don't want to, Jiang Yashuang actually said such an answer, it's really jaw-dropping!

“…… Ahem, it's inconvenient for us to talk about the elders' past. Jiang Yashuang hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "In short, Sister Nine may or may not be her father's child." It's just that when she found out this, she had already entered the family tree, and if she didn't recognize it, she was afraid of driving the Jiang family's bloodline out of the door by mistake, and she would have to make her father lose face - so her grandfather and grandmother hinted that she was pretending to be confused up and down, and she was a daughter of the Jiang family, anyway, she was a girl, and it didn't get in the way. ”

Although he didn't want to go into detail, Qiu Yulan thought about it and could guess that most of it was Jiang Tianchi who was wearing green back then. Cap. Son up, and this top green. Cap. It took a long time for the son to be discovered, so that Jiang Qilai was born and recorded in the genealogy.

couldn't help but be speechless: "Calculate that before and after Jiang Qilai was born, the Duke of Qin had already returned to the court, joined forces with the Empress Dowager Gu to suppress the court, and became a powerful minister, right?" There are still people who dare to covet his concubine...... I really don't know what kind of character is so fierce and not afraid of death?! ”

It's no wonder that after Jiang Qilai got married, she basically didn't interact with the Jiang family, after all, although Qiu Yulan didn't know about such an affair until now, even Jiang Yashuang, the young grandson, knew about it, so it can be seen that most of the children of the Jiang family knew about it - even if she didn't embarrass her, she felt embarrassed when she thought about it, so it was better not to meet!

Qiu Yulan was curious: "Since this is the case, how can you put the ninth sister in the capital?" "It is said that this kind of girl with unknown background will generally be sent far away, and out of sight is pure, right? For example, Sheng Shushui, before he grew up to the age of marriage, could not stay in the house of his titular "father" and had to be fostered under his grandmother's knees.

Jiang Yashuang smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, the family also planned to do so, but I heard that the ninth sister was looked down upon by the ninth brother-in-law when she reached the age of ...... The ninth brother-in-law is an only son, and his parents don't want to brush him off, so they ask his grandfather, and his grandfather approves it, and the matter is settled. ”

Qiu Yulan vaguely remembered that Jiang Qilai's husband served in the household department, but her father-in-law was the secretary of the military department - now he is still the secretary of the military department - you must know that Jiang Tianqi was also a squire in the military department before, that is to say, Jiang Qilai's father-in-law has always been Jiang Tianqi's top boss!

The Jiang family came from the army, and they must have wanted to hold the military department in their hands. In this case, Jiang Tianqi, as the eldest son of the Duke of Qin, could not be the leader of the military department, which shows the ability of this Shangshu.

"No wonder - after all, no matter whether Jiang Qilai is of Jiang family blood or not, the Jiang family always raised her and gave her the identity of Miss Jiang Jiu. Besides, the lintel of the Shangshu family in the Ministry of War is not low, Qin Guogong wants her to marry for the Jiang family, she really can't say no! ”

Qiu Yulan secretly thought in his heart, and said with his head bowed: "Then I will send someone tomorrow!" ”

When she got up the next day, she told someone about it, and Mu Hibiscus reminded: "Young lady, you said before that you want to invite Miss Mei and Lord Yishu to come over the house after the confinement, I don't know if it's this year or next year?" ”

"I almost forgot about this!" Qiu Yulan clapped his hands, "While you are still free in the past two days, hurry up and hand over the post!" ”
