Jiang Ya Dan (below)
When he was sixteen years old, Jiang Yadan's absurdity was already known to everyone in the government and the opposition.
Behind the ridicule in front of his face, he knew it but didn't care—he had long been accustomed to being talked about, but he used to be envious, jealous and hateful, but now he was gloating. After thinking about it, these are floating clouds.
It's just that he doesn't care, but Jiang Qianchuan can't do it. After careful consideration, it was decided to let him marry.
"Qian Bin is the eldest daughter of the Tao family's generation, although her appearance is not the best, but if you want to talk about the virtuous and gentle, I will play a package ticket, and the two generations of girls in my Tao family are definitely not stronger than her!" Although it is said that he has a tendency to degenerate, but the boy who is only sixteen years old has always been deeply loved by his grandfather, and he was born handsome, not to mention his status, together with girls of the same age, there are not a few who are tempted by the romantic appearance of looking back and smiling when he is swaggering through the market in his fresh clothes.
So there are a lot of people competing for him.
In the end, it was the words of his step-grandmother, Mrs. Tao, that moved Jiang Qianchuan, "Among the girls who want to give Dan'er now, of course, a few are very stunning." But it's not that I help my mother's family to speak, just say that Dan'er is bad at learning, that's not because of beauty? If you really marry him a beautiful Jiao'e, the young couple is strong-blooded, and Dan'er is born with outstanding appearance, don't let his wife not be able to persuade him at that time, but take him more and more uninterested in going to school! ”
Jiang Qianchuan originally didn't plan to let his grandson get married so early, in his opinion, sixteen years old is the age when he should study. A horizontal man is not afraid of anything when he gets married late - especially his most important grandson, who will never worry about marrying a girl who is both talented and good-looking.
Now that he has changed his mind, the picture is that his granddaughter-in-law can control his grandson after passing the door, so that he can stop the precipice.
So Mrs. Tao said this, and although the niece and granddaughter Tao Qianbin she recommended was mediocre, she had a good bearing, and her temperament was indeed gentle and generous and understanding after investigation - this is the standard image of a qualified granddaughter-in-law in Jiang Qianchuan's mind.
My grandfather and grandmother reached a consensus, and when they wrote a letter to northern Xinjiang, of course they all chose it and said it. At this time, although Tao Yinsong has been dead for some years, the Gu family and the Jiang family, which have formed the prototype of the dispute between the two queens, are still just an explosive household in the eyes of the world.
In the eyes of the whole country, the first name of Da Rui is none other than the Tao family.
If you don't take dignity as the first requirement, the daughter of the Tao family is definitely a rare daughter-in-law candidate than the princess!
In this case, Jiang Tianchi and his wife heard that they were going to hire the daughter of the Tao family as their eldest daughter-in-law, so of course they had no opinion.
It's just a marriage that two generations of elders are satisfied with, which doesn't mean that Jiang Yadan is also satisfied.
The reason why he is reluctant is that on the surface, it is because he loves beauty, Tao Qianbin is good at everything, he wants to have a family background, he wants to learn and learn, he wants to have a good bearing, and he wants to be good. Good temperament. Temperament...... Except for beauty.
Even under the costume, her appearance can be said to be delicate at most.
Such a superficial reason, of course, could not be passed in front of Jiang Qianchuan, but it strengthened Jiang Qianchuan's determination to hire Tao Qianbin for him: "This child's grandmother is really right, this child is really obsessed with women now, the more this is the case, the more he can't marry him a beauty!" Otherwise, where would he still have the heart to learn well? I can't accompany his daughter-in-law all day long! ”
In fact, although Jiang Yadan was disappointed that Tao Qianbin was not beautiful enough, he was not disappointed to the point of disdainful of marrying her - the reason why he really didn't want to marry this marriage was because although he failed to resist, he still hated being calculated.
He is the eighth among his peers, and the above two are cousins, the sixth and seventh grandsons of the third room.
The age gap is not very large.
When he proposed marriage, the two cousins were already married.
The Shi family and the Zhang family both belong to the Jiang family's party, and they can't be said to be outstanding. To say that it is not enough to simply hug the thighs of the Jiang family - in general, it is a very common marriage match: these two families have a good relationship with the Jiang family, and their power is not as good as that of the Jiang family, but they will not be said to rely on their daughters to marry this relationship. Bit.
In other words, Tao Qianbin's age can also be promised to Jiang Yaqing or Jiang Yayi.
In fact, the origin of the eldest daughter of the Tao family is more suitable for Jiang Qianchuan's eldest grandson, Jiang Yaqing, and judging from the situation at the time, the benefits of doing so to the Tao family are also greater - in the end, the identity of the eldest grandson of the eldest house is more important than the eldest son of the second house.
Jiang Yadan thought that with his step-grandmother's means, it would not be difficult to match this family business.
The most important thing is that Jiang Yaqing's wife, Shi Shi, is not very beautiful, only in terms of appearance, she can only say that she is slightly better than Tao Qianbin. And for this point, Jiang Ya never complained about anything before and after getting married - according to Jiang Yadan's understanding of this cousin, although he also likes beauties, but the requirements for a wife still follow the ancient precept of "marrying a wife and marrying virtue", it doesn't need to be too beautiful, so as not to take it out and make people laugh at it, it is serious temperament, virtue and family background worthy of him.
And Mrs. Tao didn't do this, but told Tao Qianbin to Jiang Yadan, what the idea, Jiang Yadan was clear at a glance: she was not optimistic about the third room.
In other words, she is starting to be optimistic about the fourth room!
As for why Mrs. Tao, who had always been enthusiastic about giving advice to the third room and didn't care even if she was treated coldly, Jiang Yadan was also very clear: "I don't want the sixteenth brother to be mediocre, but the nineteenth brother is very smart." ”
This year, Jiang Yashuang was four years old, and he had already begun to show his talent that was not inferior to his brother.
Even though Mrs. Tao's own seventh son, Jiang Tianjiao, is more talented than the two nephews, Jiang Tianjiao, who was not as old as Jiang Ya Dan at that time, although he was also very favored and valued by Jiang Qianchuan, he was still growing up after all.
With the shadow left by his stepsister-in-law Han to Jiang Qianchuan, even though he loves Jiang Tianjiao, his step-sister-in-law Jiang Tianjiao, who is talented and generous, he attaches more importance to the rights and interests of his sister-in-law.
In addition, Mrs. Tao's passage greatly offended the Dou family, Yuan's maiden family, although Mrs. Tao's daughter Jiang Tianluan became the queen and her son Jiang Tianjiao was so dazzling, but she was still cautious in the backyard of the Jiang family and did not dare to overstep, so as not to annoy Jiang Qianchuan and affect her own children.
This is also the reason why Mrs. Tao frequently mentioned Jiang Tianqi after passing the door, but she didn't take good care of Jiang Tianchi - although Jiang Tianchi was also from the Yuan match, he was the second son. As a stepmother, Mrs. Tao doesn't care about her eldest son, who has the status of an orthodox heir, but she can teach her second son vigorously, what kind of intention is this?
It is clear that he wants Jiang Tianchi to overpower Jiang Tianqi, right?
Considering that Mrs. Tao herself has a biological son, not to mention, her biological son is very good.
So her purpose for doing this, you can guess with a little brain supplement: she saw that Jiang Qianchuan protected Yuan and her sister-in-law very well, so good that it was impossible for her to start directly, so she made a roundabout calculation, first cultivated Jiang Tianchi under the banner of kindness and amiability, and when he was excellent, she provoked him and let him fight with the eldest brother!
The two yuan and sister-in-law pinched, and she did some more tricks, so that they both lost or even died together - after finishing her own seventh son, she would not be able to go up. Bit?
Mrs. Tao distinguishes these ways, how can she be willing to rashly guide the four rooms?
It's just that Sanfang's vision and bearing are really not good, and he has no hope of coming out at all when he sees that he has always been suppressed by Jiang Tianqiao. Not to mention that Sifang has developed well in the army, and the situation of her children under her knees also made Mrs. Tao decide to make another investment!
After all, she, Jiang Tianluan, Jiang Tianjiao's mother and son can be said to be weak in the Jiang family, and they are secretly guarded by Jiang Qianchuan.
Otherwise, Sanfang is obviously not affectionate to her, what is she going to do to hurry up to please Sanfang?!
It's just that since the third room is not angry, she still doesn't give her face, but the fourth room has hope, and Mrs. Tao naturally won't hang herself on the tree of the third room.
In order to pave the way for her own son - who would have thought that Jiang Tianjiao would die of illness a few years later - Mrs. Tao thought it was imperative to invest in four houses!
Tao Qianbin is the introduction of this investment.
"The world says that you have a hard life, you are born in a famous family, everyone is beautiful, and you are full of scholarly talent, except for some regrets in your appearance, there is nothing to fault in your character...... I just married me, an illiterate person, and didn't look at anything except your appearance, so that you were depressed all your life, and finally died of dystocia! ”
After Tao Qianbin died, Jiang Yadan recalled this wife and muttered to himself in no one's place, "Actually, if you want to say that the person who harmed you is just me?" ”
He had already said that he would not marry Tao Qianbin.
However, Mrs. Tao, who decided to give up the third room and switch to the fourth room, faced a dilemma, that is, the four-room couple were not in Beijing. Intimidated by Jiang Qianchuan's defense of the steproom, she must have enough reasons to take care of and show favor to the non-concubine Changfang.
If Tao Qianbin marries Jiang Yadan, then the eldest son of the fourth room is both Mrs. Tao's grandson and her nephew and son-in-law, what's wrong with her taking special care of her?
This is only a near-term consideration.
Think about it from a distance - with Tao Qianbin's temperament and personality, if she hadn't died in childbirth, but stayed up until her mother-in-law returned to Beijing to make her decisions, her status would be unshakable.
Imagine if there was no Great Qin Dairui.
Then Jiang Tianchi will definitely not be able to be Jiang Qianchuan's heir.
But he can earn the title himself-just like Jiang Qianchuan's own choice, he will not pass the title beyond the eldest son to the second son, even if the second son is better than the eldest son. For many years, the Jiang family has always followed the idea that the elder is more valuable and the eldest is more valuable than the elder, and there will never be any major changes or no changes.
Jiang Tianchi's title must be Jiang Yadan's.
Jiang Yadan's title, of course, must be his son-in-law - if Tao Qianbin is alive and she takes care of Jiang Jingkun personally, how can she not take this child to be close to the Tao family?
It is also equivalent to continuing the friendship between the Tao family and the Jiang family.
Therefore, Mrs. Tao knew that if it was just for Tao Qianbin's lifelong consideration, she could marry any of the grandchildren of the Jiang family, but she could not marry Jiang Yadan, who valued beauty.
But from Mrs. Tao's point of view, she chose Jiang Yadan.
I don't like my marriage being calculated, but I am disappointed in his wife's appearance, Jiang Yadan, who was already in a bad mood after peeking into his father's plan, still has the heart to treat this wife well!
Of course he knew that this was unfair to Tao Qianbin, but who would be fair to him?
His grandfather wanted him to be motivated, but he was stingy in giving him real protection;
His father wanted him to be wasted so that he could put pressure on his uncle;
The uncle wanted him to be deserted, so as not to threaten his own house in the future......
Struggling in the heavy snare, after Jiang Yadan's heart was exhausted, Xiao Suo thought: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a gentleman?" ”
Eat, drink and have fun all day long, don't ask about the world, don't want to be in the Ming Dynasty, only have fun in time.
Although it was a waste of time, I had the joy of that time.
The days of indulgence always pass quickly.
Looking back on the years from youth to youth, Jiang Yadan can be said to have read the spring of the world.
But in fact, those beauties who came and went in his life, he really remembered very little.
Ahn Zhenshang is one of them.
He has always been affectionate, but he has been entangled with this outer room for many years, and finally forced her to enter the door against the will of the elders in the family, which can be regarded as a rare true love in the process of making flowers and grass in his life.
The reason why he looked at An Zhenshang differently was simple.
An Zhenshang's appearance and demeanor are all not in line with his taste.
If he hadn't been born with such a ridiculous fate in this life, or when he had studied hard with his grandfather and imagined how he would glorify in the future, he would have tried every means to marry her as his wife—it's a pity that such a desirable person came to him for power after all.
Jiang Yadan speculated that she thought that she was able to stay by his side for all the years and was able to enter the Jiang family because of her excellent skills and ability to always firmly grasp his heart among countless competitors.
If it weren't for Mrs. Zhuang's ruthlessness, Jiang Yadan couldn't disobey her mother's wishes, and she should have done more.
But I don't know that the truth is that Jiang Yadan took a fancy to her at a glance, so he was willing to condone those methods - even if it was abandoned, his foundation was still there, how could he easily fool the people in the past?
It is precisely because she knows that she is a young lady and is willing to follow her without a name or share, and the picture is nothing more than to let herself support her mother's family - otherwise, Jiang Yadan will never watch her die lightly after Mrs. Zhuang gave an order.
"Since it is for the sake of power to cater to me, it is natural to die under power today." That year, Jiang Yadan listened to his mother's instructions and thought very indifferently, "Although I am unbearable, I will not be so lowly as to disobey my mother for a woman who has never really loved me at all!" ”
Although after An Zhenshang's death, he continued to wander among the flowers, but since then he has been in a state of flux.
Since then, the most favored woman will not last for three or five months.
Anyway, the power of the Jiang family is becoming more and more prominent, even if it changes every three or five months, there will be no newcomers around him after all.
I think I know how much discussion and scolding will be attracted by this kind of behavior - but it is still the same sentence, he has been surrounded by discussions since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to ignoring what he doesn't want to hear.
However, even though everyone thinks that he owes a lot in the backyard, Jiang Yadan always thinks that he has a clear conscience.
The wife is not what he wants to marry, love died on An Zhensheng, and he had no heart when he entered the door.
As for the others, they just took what they wanted—they needed his position of power, even his handsome countenance and strong physique; And he needs their gentleness and beauty, to indulge himself from his resentment, and to sink into the abyss of thoughtlessness, thoughtlessness, painlessness, and injury.
As for the women who are occasionally coerced......
After the past, it is also over, and he has long forgotten to be out of the clouds.
He is quite unreasonable and thinks that he does not owe anyone anything to his wife and concubine!
If you really want to say that you owe it, it is also to your children.
In fact, strictly speaking, he is not bad for his children - he is very fortunate to be kind to his wife and concubines, but he is not strict with his children, although he is not careful.
Of course, as a father, it would be irresponsible to leave him to fend for himself.
But Jiang Yadan has his concerns and sorrows: "My father clearly wants me to be an abandoned son, and I have two younger brothers underneath. He will inherit the Zhenbei Army one day, whether it is sixteen or nineteen, it can't be me after all! Today, my father and uncle are brothers, and they can do not hesitate to take me as an abandoned son in order to fight for power and profit! When they grew up in the sixteenth or nineteenth day, what is so strange that they do not hesitate to dump each other for the sake of power? ”
So, "Why do you want to teach your children too well?" I can't get ahead as a father. They have excelled in the future, but it is only to increase the suffering, like the grandfather, who regards his nephew as more important than his own flesh and blood, in the end, there are few! Rather than let them fight to the death with their uncle in the future, it is better to live this life in a daze like me—so that they can still have a good time! ”
The same goes for her daughter, "I can't get out with my sons, girls are too sharp and strong, what's a good thing?!" It's better to know some duties when you are young, and if you marry someone and leave the Jiang family, maybe you can be happier! ”
He has no one to say such considerations, such words.
Since he is unwilling and unable to expose his father Jiang Tianchi's calculations, as the eldest son of Sifang Ming, even if he is degenerate, he is still held in the palm of his hand, if he goes to teach his children to bow their heads and behave in the future, don't expect to be ...... That's weird if it's not suspicious!
Just ignore them and let them grow naturally.
"Be kind to Nineteen, and love your younger brothers and sisters." He thought that this was the only thing he could do for his children.
The ninth sister Jiang Qilai, who has an unknown bloodline, married well; Although Jiang Yazhu, the sixteenth brother of the concubine, has mediocre qualifications and a very high spirit, it seems that it is difficult to achieve anything, but who calls the son of the fourth room is few, and Jiang Yadan is miserably treated as an abandoned son, and the father will never forget him.
So both of these are worth befriending.
As for the twins' eighteenth sister Jiang Qizheng and nineteenth brother Jiang Yashuang, it is even more necessary to be encircled.
Although the life of the youngest brother Jiang Yashuang is simply stepping on his sacrifice from beginning to end to come to power-
He was raised by a big house; So Jiang Yashuang was raised directly to his grandfather and grandmother;
His sudden fall began with womanhood; So before Jiang Yashuang grew up to fifteen years old and met his later wife, Qiu Yulan, let alone taste it. Prohibit. Sure enough, if the maid who served him wore a new skirt for no reason, she would be transferred away with an excuse, and if she was so seriously transferred, no one would see the maid in her life;
He was not satisfied that his wife was not beautiful enough, and he was never close to his wife after marriage; So Jiang Yashuang picked a stunning color by herself, and although her experience, family background, and scheming also made the elders not very satisfied, she still nodded in the end!
Even his continuation has traces of paving the way for his younger brother - if the former King of Ruihuai Nan and King Yongyi of Great Qin were not his fathers-in-law, when his father Jiang Tianchi revealed that he wanted to set up his eldest son as the prince, how could Chu Xiao not have a choice to stand in the vanguard of the Huijun Wang Party?
Judging from Chu Xiao's means of surviving the turmoil of the palace fighting dynasty in Qianrui for decades, and ensuring that his power is not weakened, if he were not Jiang Yadan's father-in-law, he would never participate in this kind of thing!
But his daughter Xu gave Jiang Yadan a continuation.
Jiang Tianchi took the hand of his in-laws and cried to "reveal his heart", telling the helplessness and pain of being forced by his cousin and brother-in-law to only take the eldest son as an abandoned son, and when the world is finally going to be in charge today, he is eager to compensate for the feelings of the eldest son-in this situation, how can Chu Xiao say a "no"?
He can't go into the water if he doesn't want to!
So when he went into the water, the entire Qianrui royal family was rightfully cleaned up by the new dynasty: My Jiang family doesn't treat you well enough?! Not to mention that King Lu and Empress Dowager Rui both went to Lu Di to "support", let's just say that Chu Xiao yourself, Qianrui was the king, and I am still the king in Daqin! What else are you not satisfied with!
Even you, the former Rui clan who was crowned king, dare to take revenge, so God knows what other Rui clans have done!
…… said that it was impossible to say that there was no resentment, not only Jiang Yashuang imagined in guilt: "If it was not the starling who was born first, but me, ......"
Jiang Yadan didn't think about it: "If I were born later, my brother would have paved the way above......
So after he was messing around, he thought excitedly: "I'm like this, don't talk about protecting my children in the future, it's good if I don't have an accident!" The children under their knees want to find a backer, who else can they count on if they don't expect their uncle? I am indifferent to my wife and concubines, and I am indifferent to my children, but I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a brother to my younger brothers and sisters. If my children are in trouble in the future, they will not all stand idly by, will they? ”
Sure enough, his sister-in-law was raised under the knees of his younger brother, and Jiang Yashuang and his wife regarded them as their own and loved them very much. Although the children of the concubine are not as valued as the concubines, they are different compared to the children of other royal palaces.
That is, the twin sons of Jiang Jingli and Jiang Jingrui, because they were born by An Zhenshang, considering Jiang Jingkun's sake, it is inevitable that they will be ignored.
But on the whole, this affection is no problem for Jiang Yashuang's father and son to remember one or two generations.
At the end of this life, Jiang Yadan thought tired and happy: "It's over!" ”
He ignored anyone's calls, including Jiang Yashuang and Jiang Jingkun, and closed his eyes with a smile on his lips so easily.
