Chapter 365 – Inviting Someone to Talk
Jiang old lady thought more and more is this reason. But at this time Jiang Xun out of the house, want to ask can not find people, the heart anxious as a cat scratching like hard.
I’ve been waiting for the evening, and Jiang Xun did not come back. After the meal, she left the uncle Jiang, said her guess.
Uncle Jiang was overjoyed to hear this.
“Because of the relationship of the girl, Xun son often played with the precious county princess when he was young. If this can really happen, our family will be rich. Everyone knows that marrying Princess Zhenbao is better than marrying a princess. If you marry a princess, you won’t even have a son, not to mention a daughter-in-law. But Princess Zhenbao has a bigger dowry than the Princess, and is more favored than the Princess by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Except for her appearance, she’s the best at everything.”
He said this, Jiang old lady is even more happy, eyes are smiling slits.
“If that’s really the case, let’s ask someone to go and talk about it, and it will also look like our family respects other girls. Countess Zhenbao’s status is noble, so let Maiden Shih help and see if we can invite Old Master Meng. The first time I saw her, she almost got married into the Yong royal family, but it was a pity that she didn’t have the chance to get married. Xun’s son is blessed, and we can be in-laws with the Yong Wang family again.”
Jiang Bo master said goodbye she is still waiting in the house.
Jiang Xun returned to the house only at the beginning of the evening at the beginning of Ohio.
He was about to go to the court, he had to seize the time to get together with Mr. and his fellow students and students, there were parties these days.
Once he returned to the courtyard he saw Sister Qin anxiously waiting at the door.
“What’s the matter?”
Sister Qin said anxiously, “Second master, the old lady has sent people to look for you many times, I don’t know what’s so urgent again.”
Jiang Xun’s eyebrows twisted into a frown, but still turned around and went to the backyard.
The sky was clear and empty, the stars twinkled in the sky, and the surroundings were silent.
The sound of his footsteps was especially obvious.
Jiang Xun felt even more lonely and unsupported in this home, like a rootless duckweed.
If there is a lamp in the small window, under the lamp sits that beautiful figure, how good. Wherever he is, he will remember here.
The second door was unlocked, and the granny guarding the door kept guarding the door.
“Second Master but he’s back, the old lady has been waiting.”
Arriving at Ruyi Hall, the old madam beckoned, “Quick, come to grandmother.”
She smiled with a chrysanthemum face.
Jiang Xun was even more baffled, what other happy events did he have that he didn’t know about?
The old lady pulled Jiang Xun to sit beside her, dismissed the maid, smiled and said, “Zhenbao county princess has returned to secularism, I heard that these days have been living in the palace.”
Jiang Xun expression as usual, “I heard.”
The old lady secretly grunted, “Just pretend.
She made it clearer, “Are we talking to your sister and asking Mr. Meng to help with the marriage?”
Jiang Xun did think about asking Grand Master Meng to help negotiate with the Zheng family, but what does this have to do with Li Zhenbao’s return to secularism?
The old lady held his hand a few points tighter, and laughed, “Zhenbao county princess is already sixteen years old, not small, this matter should be grasped …….”
Jiang Xun only understood the meaning of the old lady, she actually thought she had something with Li Zhenbao.
Jiang Xun said with a red face, “Grandmother, what are you talking about, I have nothing to do with Zhenbao County, you must not mess around. If you pass it out, you will be laughed at by others for nothing.”
Without suppressing her emotions, her voice was loud.
Jiang old lady was yelled at, let go of his hand and said, “What are you yelling at, my wife is still not thinking about you.”
Jiang Xun lowered his voice again and said, “The status of the precious princess is noble, I can’t afford to climb up to her, grandmother dispel this idea. I’m still young, I don’t want to talk about marriage.”
After saying that, he got up and made a bow and turned to leave.
Seeing that hurriedly leaving back, the old lady was so angry that she clenched her fist and knocked on the kang table.
This grandson was a scout and handsome, not to mention a county princess, even a princess would be a good match.
She still felt that there was something between Li Zhenbao and Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun is handsome, and now he has won the scouting flower, which young lady is not rare, let alone Li Zhenbao, who is black and ugly, and grew up in a pile of nuns …….
She suddenly thought of a possibility that Jiang Xun really wanted to go to Xiqing, with the aim of leading his daughter-in-law out of the capital and away from this home, where the young couple would live a free life.
The reason why she is not willing to admit it now is that Li Zhenbao’s dowry is too much to marry this daughter-in-law into the Jiang family. Want to wait until everything is ripe, the Empress Dowager gives the marriage, and take the daughter-in-law away before the Jiang family can react.
The two siblings played a good game. This marriage will surely ask the old Duke of Meng to go to negotiate, when the Yong Wang Fu and Li Zhenbao only remember Meng’s love, where to remember to the Jiang family.
Hmph, a generation away from how not close, loss of their own pair of siblings so good.
This idea is like a raging flood, instantly drowned the old lady. The more she thought about it, the more this reasoning, so angry that she did not sleep well for a whole night.
Li Zhenbao has the most lucrative food on, a good dowry saved for her by the Yong Wang House, and the reward from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager …… dowry adds up to no less than two hundred thousand taels.
Of course, the in-laws can not think of the daughter-in-law’s dowry, but if she has filial piety willing to burden some of the family, pulling a hair than their own waist are strong.
Thinking about it, we should ask our own family to go first to negotiate. The Yong royal family to see their own respect for the precious princess, will be more happy, and then ask the empress dowager to give marriage.
Of course, we can’t ask Old Master Meng to do the negotiating, but to ask another highly respected person.
The old lady sifted through all the people she knew. She was unfamiliar with the men, so she had to ask the women. In addition to the women of the Duke of Cheng’s residence, the daughter-in-law of a high family with whom she had the most contact was Mrs. Zheng Xie.
Xie had personally come to the Jiang family three times, and had met her a few more times at the Duke of Cheng’s residence, and treated herself with respect.
Zheng Yu played best with Jiang Xun, Zheng Tingting played best with Jiang Yishi, and Zheng Jingjing’s eye disease was still cured by Jiang Yishi. She should buy this face when she herself begged the door.
Getting up in the morning, the old lady’s spirit was loathsome.
After eating, she said to the first and third wives who came to greet her, “Pass a posting to the Zheng Shao Bao House, I have something to see Mrs. Zheng in the next morning.”
The First and Third Mistresses were puzzled, looked at each other and asked in unison, “What is it that mother-in-law has to do?”
The old lady said, “Naturally it’s a good thing, the eldest daughter-in-law will accompany me next morning. You guys go down, I didn’t rest well, I need to rest again.”
She didn’t dare to say anything about marrying Jiang Xun for fear that they would tattle on her with Jiang Yishi. These two bitches, for their own little schemes, both spared no effort to flatter that dead girl Jiang Yishi.
After lunch, the old lady wore a brocade pasted dress with a full head of jewels, and went to Zheng Shao Bao’s house with a gift together with Jiang Da Mistress.
Xie thought that the old lady had come to talk to her about Jiang Xun and Zheng Tingting’s marriage, and might even come to ask for her hand in marriage.
She was quite puzzled, Tingting and Jiang Xun’s matter had not been completely finalized and was in the stage of secrecy, how could she let the old lady know. She had always disliked old lady Jiang’s mercenary and mean-spiritedness, but for the sake of her daughter’s future happiness, she also had to fight to cope.
As soon as the old lady entered the house, Xie got up to welcome her, smiling with a spring in her step, “Old Mrs. Jiang, please sit down.”
She also personally helped the old lady to sit down.
