Chapter 3 Marriage Contract

Mrs. Qi took a pair of children to have dinner in Mrs. Jiang's courtyard, and after returning to the guest house to rest for the night, she visited Mrs. Jiang under the leadership of Mrs. Jiang.

and took the specialties brought from Wuzhou and distributed them to the Jiang family's houses.

After receiving the specialty, the long room and the third room all expressed their liking, and only the second room was lukewarm and thanked.

knew that the relationship between the second wife of the Jiang family and her sister was not very harmonious, and Mrs. Qi did not take her neglect to heart.

Coming out of Mrs. Jiang's place, Mrs. Jiang led her sister back to the long room, and withdrew the people who were waiting, leaving only her henchman Mama He to guard the door.

At first, Mrs. Qi didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, thinking that she was going to sue herself against Mrs. Jiang and the second concubine.

But after she listened to what she said, she couldn't sit still.

"Who do you say Brother Liang is married?"

Mrs. Qi thought she had heard it, "Isn't it my family Tan who has a marriage contract with Brother Liang?" Now that there is a county lord again, I can't understand what Sister said to me. ”

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly comforted Mrs. Qi, "Ah Yu, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

She said: "I know that our Jiang family can't stand Ah Tan about this, but we can't help ourselves." Princess Changxing chose a son-in-law for her daughter, and there are so many children of families in Kyoto, so she happened to take a fancy to Brother Liang.

I wanted to tell Princess Changxing that Brother Liang had been married, but I was afraid of offending the Changxing Palace.

Although Mrs. Jiang said that she had a hard time, Mrs. Qi, who was her own sister, understood the reason why she did this. Although they are siblings of the same mother, in the face of kinship, proximity and interests, she, the elder sister, will only choose the most favorable conditions.

The reason why the two families got married at the beginning was because Ah Tan was her niece and a natural alliance with her, and secondly because her husband Qi Heming had a good future.

So the sisters made a verbal marriage.

Later, her husband died suddenly in an accident, and she returned to Wuzhou with a pair of children, and her sister often wrote from her, and she had treated her daughter as her own family. Therefore, when she urged herself to go to Beijing, she would take Qi Tanying's sister and brother north regardless of the cold.

The first time she saw Jiang Liangyu at the Kyoto pier, she was very satisfied. The child was not only handsome in appearance and elegant in manners, but also a man of great learning.

Mrs. Qi even couldn't believe that such a good son was actually her son-in-law.

But now, this son-in-law has been intercepted, and he is about to become the royal son-in-law of the palace.

It was difficult for Mrs. Qi to accept this fact, and for a while it seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, and her chest was so tight that she couldn't breathe. Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly poured her a cup of tea.

"You said that you're such a big person, why are you still in a hurry..."

Mrs. Qi pushed the teacup away suddenly, "Sister doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks, your son has now climbed to the county lord's mother, and even with Sister A, he has become a relative of the emperor." It's just that I, Ah Tan, who was bitter, was ruined for no reason, and I haven't reasoned yet. ”

Mrs. Qi was really angry this time.

Mrs. Jiang knew that she didn't pay attention to it, and she didn't argue with her, but waited for her to be angry and said: "This matter is not authentic for us to do, and you should be angry." ”

Mrs. Qi tilted her face to the side and didn't say anything at all.

Mrs. Jiang continued: "Brother Liang knows that he can't live with Ah Tan, so he wants to get a place for admission to Danfeng Academy, as long as you promise not to hold on to the marriage contract anymore, Brother Kun can go to Danfeng Academy." ”

As soon as Mrs. Qi heard the words of Danfeng Academy, she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Jiang. She was born and raised in Kyoto, so she naturally knew what it meant to be able to go to Denbong Academy.

But is Danfeng Academy a place where you can enter with ideas?

Danfeng Academy was founded by the great Confucian Feng Mao of the previous dynasty, after the fall of the previous dynasty, Danfeng Academy was closed due to the war, and when the dynasty was established, Taizu ordered the restart of the academy, and gathered a group of scholars who were rich in learning and five cars, and learned from the past and the present as teachers.

It also stipulates that to enter Danfeng Academy to study, you must have noble character and real talent, if you do not have these two conditions, even if you are a phoenix and a dragon grandson, you will not be able to enter the academy to study.

Because of the harsh enrollment conditions of Danfeng Academy, and the importance of Taizu, the students enrolled in the academy are all extraordinary, only the first batch of students admitted to the academy to participate in the Spring Festival, the number of people who ascended to the top reached as many as 50, and five of them reached the peak of power, which played a great role in the stability of the early dynasty program.

Mrs. Qi's father and husband are both from Danfeng Academy, which is a great honor, but it is a pity that both of them are short-lived people and have not shown their ambitions in their careers like their classmates.

In addition to them, nephew Jiang Liangyu only graduated from Danfeng Academy last year, and entered the Hanlin Academy after being admitted to the Jinshi, and now he has a bright future.

Even so, she felt that it was impossible. When she saw Mrs. Jiang take out the rubbed green bamboo Molan's post, she subconsciously thought that it was imitated by her own sister in order to fool her.

But when I took the post and took a closer look, I realized that this post was not a copy.

Brother Liang knew that he couldn't live with the Qi family, and saw that Brother Kun was a good seedling for reading, so he thought about recommending him to go to Danfeng Academy to study. You also know that Danfeng Academy has strict admission rules, and if it weren't for Brother Liang'er's perseverance in showing his teacher Brother Kun'er's schoolwork, there would be no such good thing. ”

After listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, Mrs. Qi had mixed feelings in her heart, no wonder that half a year ago, when Sister A wrote a letter, she wanted to check Brother Kun'er's schoolwork as an excuse, and asked her to send Brother Kun'er's schoolwork from childhood to adulthood in Kyoto.

They've been planning since then.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qi didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, anger, disappointment and powerlessness were mixed together, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Mrs. Jiang quietly observed her expression, and saw that she was not as angry as before, and said her arrangements for Qi Tanying.

"Ah Tan is a daughter's family, all we can do is to tell her that she is close to her, and prepare a dowry, so that her mother-in-law's family does not dare to despise her."

She assured Mrs. Qi, "Don't worry, I will treat Ah Tan as my own daughter, Ah Yan has it, and Ah Tan will never miss Ah Tan's share." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Qi still felt that her sister finally had a conscience. But her next words made her completely angry.

Mrs. Jiang said that her daughter Qi Tanying was over seventeen years old, and if there was a suitable family, she could settle down, and said that she had already looked for it, so she just waited for Mrs. Qi to nod.

When Mrs. Jiang said who the person was, Mrs. Qi stood up suddenly, "Wang Ruiyun, your heart is also dark, Ah Tan is your niece, she has no grievances with you, why do you have to push her into the fire pit?" ”

Hearing her sister call her name, Mrs. Jiang was also annoyed, "After staying in the countryside of Wuzhou for a long time, have you even forgotten the rules of respect for the elders and the young?" ”

"What's wrong with Brother Zhen, although that kid doesn't like to read, he has a flexible and smart brain and looks good. The third brother and the third brother and sister have always been attached to our long house, if Ah Tan marries in the future, with the help of my aunt who is my in-law, she still has the final say? ”

Mrs. Qi sneered when she heard this, "Don't think that I have black eyes when I first arrived, we were blocked on Chang'an Avenue yesterday, and it was that Jiang Zhenyu who took pity on the jade and caused trouble." Although he and Brother Liang are compatriots of the same mother, look at his prodigal appearance, where is he worthy of being the son-in-law of my Qi family? ”

"I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding here, right?" Mrs. Jiang was stunned, how could there be this, why didn't she know?

Seeing her speaking for Jiang Zhenyu, Mrs. Qi didn't want to fight with her anymore, so she endured her anger and went back to the guest house.
