Chapter 378: Iron Bull, parents can't be eccentric
Granny Hao left the palace satisfied.
Jiang Qiuniang began to worry, she had never been so busy.
On the one hand, you have to screen the palace people with the jewels, and on the other hand, you have to prepare for the palace banquet.
"Master, didn't you say that the emperor revealed to you that he wanted our family Ziyuan to be the crown princess? What does this palace banquet mean? ”
Mrs. Sun, who received the palace post, looked confused.
"You still don't understand this, the crown prince is the future son of heaven, and he will be fourteen years old after the New Year. One is to let you take Aster to show your face in front of the ladies of the family. The second is the old side of the Jiang family, begging the queen to help choose a daughter-in-law. ”
"When you enter the palace this time, you have to help the queen mother. By the way, how about the palace rules and etiquette of Shion? There can't be a mistake in entering the palace this time. ”
General Sun asked uncomfortably.
"Don't worry, I've asked Mama and said that Aster is very good."
As soon as she talked about her daughter, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
Her daughter will be the crown princess in the future, and she will be more likely to be the mother of a country later.
In terms of upbringing, she is more attentive than General Sun.
General Sun looked melancholy, he didn't expect that he would one day become a son and daughter with the emperor.
Pity...... In the end, the positions of the two have changed, and their mentality has also changed.
His respect for Jiang Yingying became more and more.
That's the Son of Heaven, if you're not careful, the entire Sun family will end badly.
I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for Ziyuan to marry the prince.
……
Baozhu received Ye Yunzhou's letter, and after reading it, he put the letter away and replied to Ye Yunzhou.
In the past few days, she and Jiang Qiuniang screened together, and soon recorded some of these palace people with suspicious identities in the book, and let people stare at them secretly.
At this time, it is not advisable to startle the snake.
The old patriarch of the Jiang family asked for the second treasure bead to be the excerpt of the young patriarch of the Jiang family, and sent it to Jiang Yingying's table again.
This was seen by Jiang Dongsheng first and handed over to Jiang Yingying.
Looking at the fold in his hand, Jiang Yingying had mixed tastes.
"The old patriarch still doesn't give up."
Since he knew that Baozhu had returned to Beijing, the old patriarch had been sending him excerpts almost every day.
There are quite a few points, and the posture of not giving up until the goal is achieved.
It stands to reason that Baozhu is the head of the Jiang family and it is harmless for him, as for why he didn't let Baozhu be the young patriarch, he was worried about affecting Baozhu's marriage.
After all, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the head of a family since ancient times.
If he agreed, the important ministers of the court would definitely drown him in the court with spitting stars.
Who said it's good to be an emperor?
The emperor can't do whatever he wants, and he has to endure what ordinary people can't bear.
"Dongsheng, what do you think?"
He hesitated.
Baozhu is his daughter, and of course he wants Baozhu to be better.
After all, Baozhu is not inferior to Jiang Dongsheng's son at all.
"Bao Ya is very smart, the patriarch is old, and it is normal to value the treasure bead." Jiang Dongsheng's face did not change color.
"Father, it's better to go out of the palace and listen to why the old patriarch has to ask his sister to be this young patriarch."
Jiang Dongsheng simply suggested that Jiang Yingying go out of the palace and meet the old patriarch.
Jiang Yingying was silent for a while, and finally his heart was moved.
"That's it, you clean up and accompany me out of the palace to meet the old patriarch."
Jiangjia Village.
Jiang Yingying's micro-service paid a private visit to Jiangjia Village, and in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Jiang Yingying took the lead in letting people say hello to the old patriarch.
Therefore, he entered the newly renovated ancestral hall of the Jiang family, and the people of the Jiang family village were the same as usual.
"Old patriarch, I have already seen the excerpts on you, why did you choose the treasure bead, I remember our Jiang family, there is Jiang Cheng, and Da Niu and Da Zhuang are not bad."
"The children of our Jiang family's generation are all good, but none of them can compare with Baozhu."
The old patriarch shook his head in disagreement.
"After discussing this matter, our Jiang family elders agreed to act in accordance with the rules of the ancestors."
Ancestor?
This is the rule of the old ancestor, how can he not know.
Jiang Yingying obviously didn't believe the old patriarch's words.
The old patriarch glanced at Jiang Dongsheng: "This matter is also good for you, why don't you agree?" Besides, Dongsheng is already the crown prince, he can't become the patriarch, and the position of patriarch is not right for Baozhu. ”
Both cannot be obtained at the same time.
Why doesn't Jiang Yingying understand this truth?
"But Baozhu has always been a girl, and I still want her to get married and have children."
"What's wrong with that? Our ancestor of Jiangjia Village said that both men and women are the descendants of our Jiang family, and they can inherit the property of the family. ”
The old patriarch didn't care.
Good guy, the words of the old patriarch made Jiang Yingying and Jiang Dongsheng speechless.
What kind of people would consider recruiting a son-in-law?
If there is no child in the family, this decision will be made.
The old patriarch glanced at Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, you go to see Granny Hao's house, I have something to tell your father." ”
Jiang Yingying's brows furrowed: "Listen to the patriarch, you go to Jiang Cheng's house first, and ask him by the way, you can have confidence in this year's scientific expedition." ”
Jiang Dongsheng got up immediately, although he didn't know what the patriarch had to talk about with his father, he needed to break himself apart, without any resistance, and left calmly.
"Iron Bull, you can't think Baozhu can't do it just because she's a girl."
The old patriarch said earnestly.
"Patriarch, Baozhu is my daughter. I've always hoped that she would be well, and now it's different from the past, and the head of the clan is not so easy to be. ”
Jiang Yingying's eyebrows frowned, he used to be just a small village surnamed Jiang.
As he became emperor, the surname Jiang became the national surname.
The head of the Jiang family represents the attitude of the royal family, and his every move is watched by hundreds of officials.
The interests involved are no less than those of the court.
"This is not the choice of our old guys, the ancestors have rules, whoever gets his inheritance will be the next patriarch."
The old patriarch simply didn't persuade him, and simply released this explosive news.
"What did you say, patriarch?"
"This is something that the patriarchs and elders of the past generations have only known, we are the descendants of the eldest princess and Jiang Wenxuan, have you heard of Jiang Wenxuan's name?"
The patriarch said expressionlessly.
Staring at Jiang Yingying's extremely shocked face, he chuckled: "When you played the banner of Jiang Wenxuan's descendants before, didn't you think that you were really the descendants of these two people?" ”
Jiang Yingying's old face was a little red, he really said that he didn't expect it.
Suddenly there was a feeling that the disguise was being exposed.
But...... Soon he reacted again.
Jiang Wenxuan and the eldest princess are legendary characters to him.
Although people have long since passed away, the court is full of their legends.
"Patriarch, you...... What did you just say? The orb has been inherited by the ancestors? Why does it sound a little wrong? ”
During this time, he only thought about the treasures of the previous dynasty, and never thought that the ancestor of the Jiang family also kept a hand, and the person who got these was actually his own daughter.
"Hmph, our Jiang family ancestor has long expected that the fortune of the Great Liang country will not last long, in order to save future generations from the persecution of the war, so he has left a lot of wealth, otherwise do you think where did the treasure bead come from to cure the plague, and the strange method of making the gun carriage?"
The patriarch scoffed.
The patriarch has a blind worship of the old ancestor, in his opinion, their old ancestor is an immortal, I am afraid that he has long expected that he can get these inheritance orbs, so he left the ancestral training that no son is favored over daughter, and both men and women can inherit the Jiang family's property.
"If you want me to say, this is the rule of our Jiang family, so we will follow the rules of our Jiang family."
How could he not understand Jiang Yingying's concerns.
Isn't he afraid that the group of annoying, pedantic scholars will annoy him in the court?
"Dongsheng is a good child, just saying that Baozhu's ability is better than him, he can be the prince, why can't Baozhu be a young patriarch?"
This is very important, and when the patriarch said it, it was more like accusing Jiang Yingying of being a father.
"Tie Niu, you can't be so partial as a parent."
Eccentricity, where is he eccentric?
Jiang Yingying was shocked when the patriarch said this.
Now that I think about it carefully, from beginning to end, Baozhu's credit is greater than that of Dongsheng, but she has turned a blind eye again and again because she is a girl's family.
Take this time the plague in Pingyang Town, and in the future, the affairs of the Feng, Fan, and Wei families will also be solved by Baozhu.
There is also Nanzhou City, and the matter of taking the whole village to fight the bandits, which one was not led by Baozhu?
In terms of calculation, Baozhu is not only worse than Jiang Dongsheng, but even more suitable to be the prince of a country.
"Patriarch, I know. Tomorrow morning, the patriarch will also be invited to participate. ”
He got up and bowed to the patriarch.
The patriarch squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's good that you figure it out, Dongsheng and Baozhu grew up watching me, I don't want their brothers and sisters to go that far, and it's just right for Baozhu to be the patriarch." ”
Baozhu in the palace sneezed, and she was accompanying Jiang Qiuniang to see the list of female relatives invited to the palace banquet.
"These are the girls that Granny Hao has a crush on?"
Baozhu pointed to the names of several of them, and in order to organize this palace banquet, Baozhu specially asked his subordinates to secretly investigate the affairs of each family's back house.
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.
Good fellow, the things in the back house of these ministers are even more exciting to read than to hear about them.
The thief eats.
"Look at you, kid, why are you so surprised? Aren't the girls that your Granny Hao picked for your brother Jiang Cheng good? ”
"Okay, great, one by one." Baozhu nodded vigorously.
Jiang Qiuniang was speechless, looking at her duplicitous little appearance, if she didn't know, it would be strange if she had something to say.
"Granny Hao's intentions are good, but the girls of these families are more fierce than the other, and if they are unhappy, they will either hit the board or drug others, and hiss...... I don't know if Jiang Cheng's brother's small body can stand it. "
Baozhu took a breath of cold air, half-raised his little head, and imagined that Jiang Cheng was being abused by his mother-in-law.
If these words were said by others, she would just listen to them, but what Baozhu said, she had to pay attention to it.
"In that case, I told you about it. Look at which of these people meet Granny Hao's requirements? ”
Jiang Qiuniang showed her another list.
