Chapter 336 – A succession of honored guests

On October 20th, the wind was bitterly cold, and the sun was shining brightly but not the slightest bit of warmth could be felt.

At the end of the hour, several members of the Meng family went to the Jiang Mansion with their congratulatory gifts, as well as Hu Jiwen and Qu Xiu.

Meng Zhaocun lifted the car curtains rushed back and screamed, “even uncle won the election, is even uncle.”

Incomparable arrogance.

Half a small head drilled out of the back of the car, is Meng Zhaoan. I brought him along today so that he could learn from Jiang Xun.

Not counting the clansmen, the Meng family’s own family has only produced one scholar, which is Meng Zhuyu. He also won the lottery at the age of sixteen, and is still a scholar. Unfortunately, after the Fu incident, Meng Ruyu’s name was taboo.

Nowadays, the role model set for the little daughters is Jiang Xun, a young man of ambition, humble and studious.

Meng Zhaoan moved forward and said loudly, “Learning from Uncle Jiang, I also want to win the imperial examination at the age of sixteen.”

Afraid that the little master would drink the wind, the two nannies hurriedly persuaded them into the car.

Without entering the hutong, they could see Jiang Xun in fresh clothes, standing in front of the gate with Jiang Jin to welcome the guests.

Meng Zhaocun, who was carried out of the carriage by the nannies, solemnly bowed to Jiang Xun and said loudly, “Even uncle is a scholar, congratulations to uncle, congratulations to CunCun.”

The arrogant look makes people can’t help but laugh.

Liu got out of the car and Jiang Xun went over and bowed deeply.

Duke Cheng’s wife came in person, the guests were both surprised and curious and looked over. When the eldest Mrs. Jiang heard about it, she trotted to welcome her out of the second door.

Not long after, Jiang Xun saw Zheng Yu riding his horse, followed by two carriages.

Jiangfu also sent a sticker to Zhengfu, Jiang Xun knows that Zheng Yu will definitely come without surprise. He still has a small expectation in his heart, hoping that Zheng Yu can bring his sister.

Seeing the carriage behind him, Jiang Xun’s smile deepened.

Zheng Yu dismounted, cupped his fists and smiled, “Congratulations to brother Jiang, may brother Jiang pro go further and get a high school graduate.”

Jiang Xun cupped his fists and thanked him.

Two maids came down from the latter carriage and took out a horse stool and placed it in front of the first carriage, Xie and Zheng Tingting and Zheng Jingjing were helped off the carriage.

Jiang Xun thought that Zheng Tingting could possibly come, but he did not expect Mrs. Zheng to come as well.

Xie personally came to congratulate her, both for thanking Jiang Yishi for curing her daughter’s eyes, and also for curing Grand Princess Yichang’s eyes. He didn’t like to go out, so she was the only one who came.

This was another honored guest.

Jiang Xun Jiang Jin hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Invite the honored guest into the door, behind them came two Jiang family who did not expect to be too expensive honored guest, King Wen and Yong Wang’s son Li Kai.

The Jiang family has a self-awareness, did not give the King of Wen and the Yong King’s House under the sticker.

After Jiang Xun and Jiang Jin froze, they hurriedly went forward to bow and salute.

King Wen laughed, “Time flies, Jiang Er Gongzi was still a teenager when he put out the fire, and now he’s already a young scholar in the spotlight of ten thousand people.”

Both congratulations and also stated the intention of coming, I am thanking you for saving me, I came to congratulate you.

Li Kai looked puzzled, he was also forced to come by King Wen today.

He had never had a good impression of Jiang Xun, and it was this kid who had sternly rejected his own marriage proposal to Jiang Yishi in the first place. Although Zhen Bao’er and this kid relationship is good, let the steward to send a congratulatory gift is to see on him, why to personally door.

But King Wen begged to pull him to, said if not Jiang Xun first extinguished the fire, himself and his daughter may be burned to death, Jiang Xun to him to save his life. And said Jiang and Jiang Xun siblings with Li Zhenbao good relations, in order to Li Zhenbao, Li Kai should also personally to congratulate.

Li Kai heart slander, so remember the grace, did not see you weekdays to help people. But it is not good to put on airs, only to come together.

Jiang uncle and Jiang three masters heard that the King of Wen and the son of the King of Yong came, all excitedly jogging to welcome out the door.

Guo Zifei’s father, Uncle Ping Jin, also came, today not only can he get close to Meng House, Zheng House, Qi House and a few other powerful gentry, but he can also get close to the King of Wen and the Prince of Yong, making him overjoyed.

He gave his son a wink, and Guo Zifei hurriedly followed his father-in-law as he trotted along to welcome him out.

Next came the steward of the Ping Wang Residence and the steward of the Cui Jisu Residence to send congratulatory gifts.

Today is just the Jiang family’s second son won the examination, but there are so many honored guests and relatives to congratulate him. No matter Jiang family members or relatives, their hearts are envious.

The Jiang family will be able to rely on this second orphaned child to shine once again.

The news that King Wen and Li Kai personally came to congratulate also spread into the inner courtyard, Jiang old lady was excited to pray to Buddha, Jiang Yishi’s heart sank again. This King Wen is like a ghost that won’t go away. What is the purpose of his visit to the Jiang residence?

If he came for her, basically he would not be able to see her. Moreover, she had already pushed a lot of irrational things onto Master Yu He ……

Jiang family, what is there that he is interested in?

Jiang Yirou’s stomach was already very large. Nowadays, she liked children the most, especially boys, and pulled little Cun Cun to watch it, and then pulled Jiang Xing and Guo Jie and Guo Zhao An to watch it.

Jiang Yi Hui was whispering with Jiang Yi Shih, and the eldest Mrs. Jiang pulled Jiang Yishan to entertain the guests.

Jiang YiYan sat very quietly on the side, and when no one spoke to her, she didn’t speak.

Today, not only did she not dare to make a scene or make a stinky face, in her heart, she especially wanted to follow the First Lady and Third Lady in entertaining the guests.

Because Marquis of the Plains’ Shizi master and Great Grandma Qi are also here.

Last night, the old madam and uncle Jiang specifically instructed her not to do or say anything, just sit there obediently.

The day before yesterday, Great Lady Qi of the Marquis of the Plains had suddenly come to visit the Jiang family, wanting to ask for Jiang YiYan’s hand in marriage for her third son, Qi Anbai.

Qi Anbai is notorious, likes to fight and make trouble, sleeps in the flowers and lies in the willow, men and women are not taboo, twenty-two years old this year has not yet married a daughter-in-law.

What Mrs. Qi means is that it was her son’s youthful indiscretions before, but now he has changed for the better and has been placed in the military camp by Marquis Qi.

Uncle Jiang and the third master are not too willing, but the old lady is very fond of it.

Plain Marquis title inherited five generations, the next generation is Bur. But Marquis Qi is capable, is the commander of the West Camp, hand in hand, deeply trusted by the Emperor.

The old lady said, “the children of large families, who is not fun when young? Growing up will be calm. Although Qi Anbai is not the son, but is the youngest son of the great Mrs. Qi, the great Mrs. Qi most love him, said that in the future will divide most of the private property to him.

“Married into the Marquis of the plains, the words of the girl in the future of the silver flowers are not finished. If we make this marriage, our Uncle Wu Xiang’s in-laws not only have the State Duke’s House, the Vice General’s House, but also the Marquis’ House, our children’s future will be better ……”

Jiang third master said, “the plains marquis of the family is good, but Qi Bai’an is not worry, Yan girl married into the fear is to suffer.”

Uncle Jiang sighed, “Yan maiden even more angry, I can not afford to let her suffer in the in-laws.”

The old lady laughed coldly, “Is Yan Yatou a person who suffers from anger? She’s so spirited, it’s not certain who will clean up who.” Seeing that her eldest son did not relent, she added, “In the future, when the family is divided, the Duke of Cheng is the in-laws of the second house, the Deputy General Wang’s house is the in-laws of the third house, and what about your eldest house?”
