Chapter 356: Choosing a Parent
The old man said boldly, "Why not, let Meng Shen bring more guards and mothers-in-law, and set up a restaurant or teahouse in the place where Jiang Xun is going to pass by, and sit in it to watch." Especially the boys, let them see more of those champions, role models, and flowers, and set lofty goals for themselves. β
He gestured to Meng Zhaocun with his eyes, which meant that only this little one could not go, and everyone else could go.
Huang Xin hurriedly said, "It's decided now, it's too late." β
Everyone was still eating, and Meng Lianshan was sent back by Meng Cimo to deliver the letter.
He reported, "Congratulations to the eldest grandmother, Jiang Tanhua was named a second-class guard with a knife in front of the emperor, and he is a fourth-class guard." β
This position is both majestic and responsible, and it must also win the trust and appreciation of the emperor. Although Jiang Xun's desire to go to the border has been put on hold for the time being, when the emperor lets him go out to practice, he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks, and it can be said that the future is limitless.
The old man nodded in satisfaction. He asked, "What position do you have given by the champion and the leader?" β
Meng Lianshan said with a smile, "Give Li Zhuangyuan as the guerrilla general of the fifth regiment battalion from the third grade, and Song Bangyan as the fourth rank of the left guard battalion." β
Regardless of liberal arts and martial arts, the champion is the most prominent, followed by Tanhua, and sometimes Tanhua is even more eye-catching than the champion. The main reason is that Tanhua must be young and handsome, everyone is interested in Tanhua, and many people who catch sons-in-law under the list also like Tanhualang the most.
Let's just say that in today's department, Li Zhuangyuan is nearly thirty years old, and his son is about to be a daughter-in-law. Song Bangyan is twenty-six years old, not to mention his daughter-in-law, he looks powerful and has a mediocre face.
And Jiang Tanhua is young and handsome, with a noble background, both civil and military. Tomorrow's cross-horse parade street, Jiang Tanhua is definitely the most popular one.
The old man and Jiang Yixi both knew in their hearts that if they were purely about their achievements, Jiang Xun would definitely not rank third. But he was young and handsome, and these two things added a lot of points to him, so he was appointed by the emperor as Tanhualang.
In the evening, Meng Cimo came back and said that the emperor had met with Wuke Jinshi, and he looked very complacent.
"The emperor summoned the champion, the list eye, and Tanhua to ask questions, and praised the young Jiang Xun, saying that he was a 'hero out of a young man'. I heard that he was a student of my grandfather, my brother-in-law, and said that my grandfather taught well. Today, many courtiers have asked me whether Jiang Tanhua is married. β
The Jiang family hung red and green as fast as possible, and at this time, a large family was waiting for Jiang Xun to come back in Ruyi Hall.
Even the third master has gone home.
Before, the Jiang family thought that it would be good if Jiang Xun could be admitted to the lifting of people. I was admitted to the exam, and I thought it would be good to be admitted to the Jinshi. Unexpectedly, he was finally named Tanhua by the emperor, and he was also named a second-class guard with a knife in front of the emperor.
Today, many people came to the matchmaker, including the big families, and there was also the county king's mansion.
The third master smiled, "I have been working in the military camp for more than ten years, and with the support of the Meng family, I have only been promoted to the third grade this year." And Xun'er, before the age of seventeen, was hit by Tanhua and became the guard with a knife in front of the fourth grade. This official position is not only decent, but also promising. β
Uncle Jiang and Jiang Jin were even more sour in their hearts. Not to mention the title and official position, the two of them are far worse than Jiang Xun, who has just entered the office. However, Jiang Xun's success is still a happy event for the Jiang family, and it is always good for his children and grandchildren.
Their joy is greater than their jealousy.
Mrs. Jiang was so happy that her old face was sour, and it was possible for her family to marry the county king's mansion. Although the girl is only the concubine of the county king, the two mansions are also in-laws.
She regretted a little that she handed over Jiang Xun's family affairs to Jiang Yixi.
The old lady discussed with the eldest and third son, "The seventh girl from the Mingjun Wangfu and the second girl from the Xiping Hou Mansion are all very good, let's talk to Xun'er." If Xun'er agrees, the girl will not object. β
Uncle Jiang said, "The three girls of the Huang Yushi family are also good. β
The third old man pondered and said, "These girls are indeed good. However, since the girl has already said hello in advance, she still listens to the opinions of the two sisters and brothers. β
Jiang Xun and his peers drank at the meal, and only came back at the end of the day. He did not go directly to the Ruyi Hall, but to the ancestral hall.
When Mrs. Jiang heard that Jiang Xun had gone to the ancestral hall again, her face was pale. It's not good to lose your temper, so I comforted myself, "That's a filial child." β
Jiang Xunhai only came out of the ancestral hall at two o'clock.
He thought that his family was resting, and was about to go back to his small courtyard, Wangfu said, "Second master, the second door is still open, and the old lady and others are waiting for you in the Ruyi Hall." β
Jiang Xun looked up at the stars in the sky and went to Ruyi Hall again.
Except for Jiang Jin's little daughter, everyone was waiting for him in the Ruyi Hall.
Jiang Xun was slightly drunk, his face was red, and he was wearing a tanhua helmet and a tanhua waist knife, and he was even more handsome and heroic.
The old lady beckoned him to sit down beside him, and took his hand to look at it enough, which made Jiang Xun very uncomfortable.
At the request of everyone, Jiang Xun said how the chamberlain took a roll call, how the emperor was sage, and how he praised him, which made people envious.
The old lady looked around and said, "I've listened to everything I should have heard, the boss, the third, Jin'er, and Xun'er stay, you can go back." β
The girl went away satisfied.
The old lady's smile was even kinder, "Xun'er, there are six families who come to the house today to say goodbye, and grandmother thinks that the girls from the Mingjun Palace, Xiping Hou Mansion, and Huangyushi Mansion are all very good......"
Jiang Xun pursed his lips and said, "Grandmother, I have a crush on a girl, she is beautiful and virtuous, and the second sister also knows her, I want to marry her." β
Now that he has won Tanhua, he is more sure of marrying her. But he was still afraid that the Zheng family's parents would not agree, and wanted to discuss it with his sister and ask Meng Laoguo to agree.
Uncle Jiang asked, "Whose girl?" β
Jiang Xun groaned and said, "She was born in a high family, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb high." In a few days, I will discuss with my sister to see if I can ask Grandpa Meng to agree. β
Tomorrow I will play a horse tour in the street, and in the next few days, I will celebrate the same year with my husband and classmates, and then go to the Chengguo Mansion after I am busy with these.
The old lady was no longer entangled.
Gaomen, I also have to ask Meng Laoguo to say yes, this family business must not be bad.
Their Jiang family, relying on the second room, the two sisters and brothers, are about to open the glory of their ancestors.
The old lady smiled, "There are many people who have given gifts today, and we want to treat them in three days." β
Jiang Xun said, "The time for the treat will be set again." β
He wanted to talk about his family affairs before having a treat.
Now Jiang Tanhua also has the right to speak, and several elders have no objection to his words.
Two days later, the list of liberal arts tributes was released.
Qu Xiu won the sixty-sixth place, and Hu Jiwen won the twenty-sixth place. Three hundred were taken from this realm.
Qu Xiu is ranked high, and it is no surprise that he will be a jinshi.
Hu Jiwen's ranking is backward, and he must be a fellow jinshi, which already makes him happy. If he doesn't live in Mengfu, doesn't study with Qu Xiu at the same time, and asks famous teachers at the same time, this rank will not be allowed.
He knew that even if he was a fellow jinshi, with the noble family of the Meng family, he would be waiting for a good shortage.
It's a pity that Jiang Yishan's fiancΓ© Gong fell off the list.
