Chapter 41: Scrambling
At night, the Jiang family's remote courtyard was quite uneasy.
Jiang Yueming moved all the things in the academy back, causing her mother Wang to burst into tears.
She has been a widow for many years, and her son is her only hope. If her studies are interrupted, it will be difficult for her to marry a wife, not to mention her future glory. There are many poor scholars on the street who cannot afford a wife.
At this time Jiang Yuebai came out and helped his mother who was sitting on the ground crying bitterly.
Then he asked his brother to go into the house, close the courtyard door, and then the room door.
Jiang Yueming looked at his sister guiltily. He was a useless brother, and his sister was also wronged. She had to make needlework at a young age to support his education.
Jiang Yuebai took out a handkerchief and wiped her mother's tears.
Mrs. Wang grabbed Jiang Yuebai's hand and begged: "My son, just listen to your mother and agree to the Zhang family's marriage. Even if it is not for your brother, but for yourself, marry into the bachelor's house and become the head wife."
I won’t wrong you either.”
Jiang Yuebai lowered his voice and said: "Mom, brother, don't worry, there is no end in sight, I have another good marriage."
"What kind of kiss?" Wang was so surprised that she forgot to cry and said in surprise, "You don't know how to be with someone..."
Ms. Wang couldn't say the word "private life". She was an orthodox little woman and believed that those who did such things were shameless girls.
"Mom, where are you thinking?" Jiang Yuebai slowly told Wang how she met Su Yiqing. She didn't tell her mother about the last time she was in danger at the Bachelor's Mansion when she came back. Telling her would only make her cry and worry her.
It has no other use at all, let alone telling my brother, otherwise my brother will do something impulsively and it will be over, but now I have to tell him.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt better. Jiang Yueming was so angry that she clenched her fists loudly and wished she could beat up that beast of the Zhang family.
Jiang Yuebai said very calmly: "I think clearly, my brother also said that Mr. Su Wu is a good person, and his sister saved me. If I really... The Jiang family doesn't have a girl as a concubine, I will have no choice but to die.
In other words, it is a great thing that Mr. Su is willing to marry me now."
Jiang Yueming hesitated and said: "Brother Su is indeed a good person, but sister, you have to think clearly, his talent, academic appearance... are a bit mediocre, and his mother is said to be very fierce."
Jiang Yuebai said indifferently: "How can the young master of the uncle's house, who is good in everything, like me? As for Aunt Su, who has raised such a kind-hearted son and daughter, she must not be so bad. The rumors are all exaggerated.
Even if my mother-in-law is a bit harsh, my husband is honest and honest and there is such a smart and sensible sister-in-law to deal with it, I think it will not make me suffer. This is the best result for me."
Mrs. Wang also said: "My son, just listen to your sister. The people in the Bachelor's Mansion are so vicious. Even if we move out, they will still come after us. Without the protection of the Jiang family, it is not enough to bully us orphans and widowed mothers."
It’s so easy, and you’re so poor that you can’t even get a decent dowry, so what kind of person can your sister marry?”
Jiang Yueming sighed longly and finally nodded.
Mrs. Zhou also acted very quickly. After Su Yiqing understood Jiang Yuebai's intentions, she sent someone to inquire about Jiang Yuebai's character and confirmed that Jiang Yuebai was indeed a good candidate for her granddaughter-in-law. After a lot of effort, she
, persuaded Mrs. Xu to accept this daughter-in-law from a lower family background, and then sent a matchmaker to propose marriage in Mrs. Xu’s name.
Mrs. Yuan, the wife of Jiang Siqing, was a little excited at first when she saw the invitation. Dali Temple's minister was a third-rank official, but a third-rank official in the capital was really nothing. Therefore, when the matchmaker said that Yuan was coming to Yuanping County to propose marriage to the Jiang family, she was overjoyed.
She has several granddaughters who are of marriageable age. Even though she is a third-brother with a bad reputation, it may be an honor to marry into the Yuanping uncle's house.
Because of this, when the matchmaker said that Jiang Yuebai was the replacement, her face immediately turned ugly, but she did not dare to refuse immediately. She hesitated and said that Jiang Yuebai was only a distant relative of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family had no control over her marriage.
Matchmakers are also used to the world. When a wealthy family has many daughters to marry, if there is a good match, it is easy to fight for it. Girls from the Jiang family's family should be matched with whom. They have a lot of psychology in being matchmakers. Now Side Branch
It is true that there are too many high-married couples, so he just smiled and said: "Then please ask Miss Yuebai's elders to come out and talk about it."
No matter how thick-skinned Ms. Yuan is, she cannot directly tell the matchmaker, "Jiang Yuebai is not good. I still have several granddaughters. Please marry my granddaughter. No matter how ignorant she is, she knows that this matchmaker is only responsible for making peace and specifically marrying that young lady."
, the matchmaker cannot decide.
At a loss for ideas, Yuan made an excuse to go to Wang to discuss the matter, and hurried to the study to ask Jiang Siqing.
When Jiang Siqing heard this, he immediately decided that the marriage could be concluded and asked Yuan to try his best to persuade Wang to agree to the marriage.
Mrs. Yuan muttered, "This marriage is so good, why should Jiang Yuebai be favored? My granddaughter hasn't been found yet."
However, Jiang Siqing glared at her, and Yuan, who had always been afraid of her husband, could only agree, and immediately left to discuss with Wang.
Mrs. Wang, who was mentally prepared, immediately agreed and exchanged birthdays and horoscopes with the matchmaker on the spot.
When the news came out, the young ladies of the Jiang family such as Jiang Yueling were filled with jealousy. Several of Jiang Siqing's daughters-in-law were also complaining about why Jiang was not the daughter of such a good family. They stupidly encouraged their husbands to find Jiang Siqing.
Try to find a way to see if you can change the marriage, and be a little smarter and find out that the Yuanping uncle's house has more than one unmarried young master. The Yuanping uncle's house can like the orphans living in the side branch, and even their legitimate children.
daughter.
As a result, he was scolded by Jiang Siqing.
How could his son be so stupid? Why did the inexplicable Uncle Pingyuan come to propose marriage? Naturally, he fell in love with Jiang Yuebai. None of his sons had any future prospects. They were small officials and there were no outstanding figures among the grandchildren.
, so he specially praised Jiang Yueming and several other relatives, and provided money and effort for them to study. As long as he made a difference, he would definitely give back to the Jiang family in the future.
He even thought that after this autumn, if Jiang Yueming wins the election, he will let his granddaughter marry him.
I just didn't expect that the marriage proposal in Zhang Xueshi's house would come up in the middle. It goes without saying that he would not consider being a concubine, but it would be good to get a serious wife. The youngest son of the Zhang family is a bit incompetent, but the child is still young, so just teach him slowly.
After all, he is also the young master of the Bachelor's Mansion, and he is a good match for Jiang Yuebai.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuebai refused, and Jiang Yueming also strongly opposed it, so he allowed the Yuan family to exert a little pressure and threatened Jiang Yueming's future. The Wang family and Jiang Yuebai were a little reluctant, but Jiang Yueming still refused.
, and threatened to move out.
He was worried about how it would end. Zhang Xueshi's family would not be able to offend him, but losing an obviously outstanding son like Jiang Yueming was also his loss. If word spread, it would affect his reputation. When he was in a dilemma, Yuanping Uncle's family could come to propose marriage. It was great. It was solved.
In his crisis, he can form a noble family.
