Weiyang of the Red Mansion
Chapter 73
Jia She went back to the mansion and rummaged through the space to find a box of warm jades, but they were all uncarved. He randomly picked a few pieces and put them on the desk in the study.
After a few glances, Jia She ordered someone to call Xu Jie.
"You pick a piece and send it to Liuguanglou, and let them carve it according to this picture. It must meet my requirements." Jia Amnesty didn't say what will happen if it fails, but he believes that the shopkeeper of Liuguanglou understands that it can't meet it. the consequences of the request.
Xu Jie just thought it was jade and didn't think much about it, but when he first got it, he felt something different.
Xu Jie was in charge of Jia She's shop, so he had seen the world, so he immediately recognized what was in his hand, "Nuanyu?"
"Except for the piece for Liuguanglou, you can go find a few famous master sculptors, and make sure to carve it well. I'm going to give it away." Jia She said.
Xu Jie looked at the pieces of warm jade in his hand, they were all bigger than a grown man's fist, at least ten pieces of jade pendants could be carved, and counting the people in Jia's mansion, from the master to the eldest son of the uncle, it was about ten or so. Yes, even if there are leftovers, there will be more children in the mansion in the future, so there is no need to worry about not being able to send them out.
"Leave this to me, sir, don't worry."
Jia Amnesty waved him to go down, of course he can rest assured that Xu Jie is his confidant after all.
As for why not let Xu Jie find someone to carve all the warm jade, Jia Amnesty also considered it, because the time is urgent, and carving is a delicate job, the longer it takes, the more exquisite the carving will be.
After all, the Liuguang Building is a famous silver building in the capital, and the cooperating master sculptor must be very powerful, and even if he thinks about it in a hurry, he can still meet his standards.
Although Xu Jie also has skills, he really doesn't involve in sculpture.
As for Kong Lu, he has a lot of contacts, but most of them are in the grass and lakes. He is afraid that he is not familiar with such masters of art.
After solving a major matter on his mind, Jia Amnesty came out to have dinner with Tang Xi.
In the twinkling of an eye, it entered February, the first day of the new year was Jia Shexiu, and Liuguanglou just picked this day to send the carved warm jade. It is three pieces of warm jade.
Jia Amnesty was not surprised, because the warm jade he took out was not small.
But he only gave a blueprint, and one piece of warm jade was carved according to the blueprint given by Jia She.
The word Min is engraved on the front, and eight characters are engraved on the back, long life and good luck.
The other two pieces of warm jade are engraved with bamboo on the front and plum blossoms on the other.There are eight characters engraved on the back of the two pieces of jade pendant, the engraved on the back of the warm jade of bamboo is: the title of the gold list, Pengcheng Wanli;
They are all excellent meanings, but it is obvious that the last two jade pendants are for men.
Jia Amnesty smiled, remembering Liuguanglou's gesture of favor this time, he turned his head into the space and picked out a beautiful red sandalwood box, and put the three pieces of warm jade pendants in it. Only Jia Min could engrave the word Min Dai, the other two dollars...Let sister Min leave the cabinet in the future and give it to her husband and son.
The next day, the second day of February, was Jia Min's birthday. The gift Jia She gave was very suitable to Jia Min's wishes, and it was rare for Jia She to give him a good face.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and Jia She has been on duty in the Ministry of War for a month or two. The court is calm, and Jia She is wondering if what his father said to him before was bluffing him. People's daughters, selling officials and nobles.
The emperor asked the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to interrogate the three divisions on the spot.
The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate received the order and quickly started the investigation, and successfully obtained witnesses and physical evidence. In just three to five days, the prince and the prince were convicted of more than a dozen major crimes, including framing Zhongliang, murder and arson. Cui Yu's case has obviously been vindicated for the crime of killing people.
This dynasty does not kill brothers, so His Majesty took back the Prince's Mansion in addition to the titles of Prince and Prince, and banned the Mo Huiquan, which had been de-ranked, in the Clan Mansion.
Mo Hui is the emperor's brother, so he escaped death, but Mo Hui's henchmen were not so lucky. They pulled out radishes and brought out mud. Blood flowed like a river.
Jia Amnesty only knew that the Ministry of War was missing a servant, two langs and a few principals, not to mention the other five departments.
This time, the emperor can be said to have cleaned the court severely in the name of cleaning up Mo Hui.
After the turmoil subsided, the emperor's decree was passed to the fifth prince's mansion, and Cui Hui was bestowed on the fifth prince as a side concubine.
Originally, in Cui Hui's situation, it was impossible to marry into another family, and the emperor was also trying to compensate Cui Yu who died unjustly.
Fortunately, not many people knew that Cui Hui was the Rouge girl back then, otherwise, how could someone who had been in a brothel be qualified to be the concubine of the royal family?
After a year or two, the Fifth Prince still entered the Ministry of Punishment.
Jia Amnesty went to the Ministry of War every day. Without the shit stick, the atmosphere in the Ministry of War became better and better. Of course, it could not be ruled out that it was because the Emperor had just cleaned the court.
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the relationship between Jia She and his colleagues has become closer and closer. When he is free, he will invite Jia She to have a drink together. Some colleagues who entered the imperial examination did not show much distaste for Jia She, because although Jia She said that he grew up practicing martial arts, his soul was transmitted from later generations, and there was some ink in his stomach, but he had never read the Four Books and Five Classics. That's all.
In the second half of the year, Jia Zheng passed the college exam and returned to Beijing. At the same time, Jia Amnesty also knew that Liu Hong had also passed the college exam and was still among the best.
Next August will be Qiu Wei, and the time is very tight. After Jia Zheng returned to Beijing, he entrusted Jia She to come forward, and then stayed at the Tang family to study.
Apart from being on duty at the Ministry of War, Jia Amnesty is now accompanying Tang Xidou, Jia Shen, who is only a few months old. The [-]-month-old child is very clever, neither crying nor fussing, but he can't speak yet. Want to talk, ah ah ah non-stop all day long.
On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Jia She returned home, he found that the atmosphere was not right.
On the way to the East Courtyard, Director Ding came over, "Master, Master invites you to Rongqing Hall."
Jia She's heart was pounding suddenly, "What's wrong with grandma?"
"The old lady is fine." Director Ding was taken aback for a moment, and said immediately.
Jia Amnesty frowned at this answer, and without further questioning, he turned around and walked towards the Rongqing Hall, and when he entered, he saw that his family members were all there.
Grandpa and wife, second brother, daughter-in-law and son, four sisters and cousin.
"What is this for?"
Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi sit at the top on the left, Jia Zheng and Jia Min sit below, and on the right are Tang Xi holding Jia Shen and three concubine sisters.
Cousin Jiang Yilan sat beside the old lady.
After Jia Amnesty asked a question, he sat in the vacant top seat on the right.
"Today, the eldest daughter-in-law took Lan'er and Yan'er to Lingguang Temple to offer incense, and in the afternoon to digest food in the back mountain, met the bastard of the Dong family, and Lan'er accidentally fell into the water..."
Jia She's eyes widened, "Cousin was rescued by Dong Wei?"
If he remembered correctly, Dong Wei married a wife under the arrangement of Shou Shanbo after he recovered from his injury last year. Although it was very noisy, I heard that his wife was already pregnant and was about to give birth...
Jia Amnesty's face was extremely ugly.
Seeing Jia Amnesty misunderstood, Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Brother misunderstood, the one who saved my cousin was not Dong Wei, but Cai Shuhang."
Jia Amnesty was stunned, "Cai Shuhang? Is it the same year as my cousin?"
"It's him." Jia Zheng nodded.
Jia Amnesty's face turned down again, "Cai Shuhang has already won the championship, and won the top two last year, I am afraid that he will be married a long time ago..."
"Brother!" Jia Zheng interrupted Jia She, cleared his throat, and said, "Cai Shuhang is not married yet."
Jia She was stunned when he heard the words, "He is so old and still not married? What are you kidding?"
"It is true that Cai Shuhang has a wife who has never been married, but at the beginning of the year, the girl disappeared, so the marriage contract is naturally over. Now that Cai Shuhang is studying in the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy is noble, and his marriage is not difficult to find at all, but he I didn’t find the one I liked, so I dragged it until now.”
Jia She frowned, "You mean, he likes his cousin?"
Are you kidding me, how long has his unmarried wife been dead?
He looked pretty good in the past, but why hasn't he been seen for a while, and his character has deteriorated so much?
"Brother..." My cousin is still there, can you pay attention to what you say?
The expression on Jia Zheng's face was a little stiff, and he said helplessly, "It sounds like that, the cousin of the Jiang family seems to like Cai Shuhang quite a bit, and now he has written to his cousin in Jiangnan, the marriage is probably about to be settled Yes, the cousin of the Jiang family said that he would take his cousin back to prepare for her marriage."
Jia Amnesty: "..." You have already discussed it, why do you want me to come?
Jia Amnesty kept a straight face and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stagnant, the old lady said, "Xie'er, I know you want to find a good husband for your cousin. Didn't you like Cai Shuhang a lot before? I think this marriage is not bad."
Jia She grinned, "Grandma, how long has his unmarried wife been gone? And he just met my cousin, and he fell in love with her? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"But Yilan has already nodded." The old lady said helplessly.
Jia Amnesty was startled, and then looked at Jiang Yilan who was sitting beside the old lady, "Cousin, you..."
Jiang Yilan lowered her head, her cheeks were flushed, she bit her lips and said, "Actually, I've met him several times, but I didn't know he was Cai Shuhang, cousin..."
Jia Amnesty: "..."
Rubbing his forehead, Jia She frowned, and then let go, "Since you have already made up your mind, I have nothing to say. Let's ask my cousin from the Jiang family to discuss it later. My cousin is not in good health. I'm afraid If you can't go to Beijing, my cousin will marry from our family, and she will be able to live in her husband's house more in the future."
Few people would dare to challenge Rongguo Mansion's power now, unless it was the head iron.
Seeing that Jia She was relieved, the old lady also breathed a sigh of relief, because Jia She's previous attitude was a bit too firm, and the old lady was also worried that Jia She would feel uncomfortable, and it would be bad to have a grudge against Yilan in the future, let's talk It's all right.
Afterwards, Jiang Yilan still lived in Rongguo Mansion, Jia She didn't have much time, so Jiang Boxuan took Cai Shuhang to the gate of Rongguo Mansion with Jia Shexiu on holiday.
Jia Amnesty didn't expect Jiang Boxuan to bring Cai Shuhang, so he didn't realize it for a while.
"Sir."
It's been a while since I've seen Cai Shuhang, and Cai Shuhang has lost the stunned young man he met for the first time, and his demeanor is much gentler.
Jia Amnesty didn't even show Cai Shuhang's face, and while asking his servants to serve tea, he asked, "I heard that Shuhang's unmarried wife died at the beginning of the year?"
They are all smart people, and Cai Shuhang has also heard about Jia She's embarrassment for his younger sister. This cousin has lived in the mansion for more than a year, and he is no different from his own sister when he thinks about it. He probably understands Jia She the meaning of.
"To tell the truth, my son, I have never met the fiancee who is gone, let alone have any feelings for him. I know what my son is worried about. Our family is not a small family, and we can be worthy of a scholarly family if we ask ourselves." , there will never be anything that the prince is worried about, so the prince can rest assured."
Jia She smiled faintly, "I'll tell you the ugly things first, if you promise me so in front of me, but something embarrassing happens later, don't blame me for not remembering the past."
Cai Shuhang didn't care about Jia She's blatant warning, he just smiled and said, "A man in my Cai family can only take a concubine when he is forty and childless, and I have heard that the eldest son promised the Tang family a couple for a lifetime, and I am actually very envious of the eldest son. "
Jia Amnesty was surprised now, this is actually someone who yearns for a lifetime of being a couple?
Didn't you fool him?
Seeing Jia Amnesty's disbelief, Cai Shuhang said, "Everything you say now is just a good word, what does your son think?"
"I thought it would be of no use. The Jiang family and the Cai family have already started discussing marriage, right?"
In fact, Jia Amnesty didn't have any bad feelings towards Cai Shuhang. After Cai Shuhang explained, the slightest concern in his heart dissipated, but he was still somewhat worried.
People's hearts are changeable, but Cai Shuhang has changed after not seeing him for a while. Jia Amnesty can't predict the future changes at all, but his cousin accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Cai Shuhang. Cai Shuhang, there is no second choice.
Thinking of this, Jia She sighed, "Compared to others, I believe in your character. I just hope that you don't let me down."
Otherwise, he would really do whatever it takes to suppress Cai Shuhang and make him understand that his sister is not easy to bully, and that his cousin is also a younger sister.
A month later, Jiang Yilan's cousin sent a letter, asking Jiang Yilan to return to Jiangnan to prepare for her marriage. Cai Shuhang is currently studying in the Imperial Academy, so it's nothing too important, and he can go back to his hometown to get married after reporting.
When they get married in Jiangnan, of course Jia Amnesty has no choice but to ask Tang Xi to prepare a gift and send it to Jiangnan.
At the end of October, Jia Shen is about to turn one year old, and now he can walk by himself with the help of things, although he is still a little unsteady.
Jia Shen's Ceremony of Catch Zhou was being prepared in the mansion, and Jia Amnesty also picked some things from the space to add to it.
On October [-]th, when Jia Shen was one year old, the Rongguo Mansion invited acquaintances to participate in the Zhou Catch Ceremony.
Jia Shen is good-looking, looks smart and clever, but many people can't stop boasting. During the Catch Zhou ceremony, Jia Shen grabbed a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and didn't let it go.
Jia Daishan had high hopes for his eldest grandson, and told Jia Amnesty more than once that Jia Shen should be allowed to learn martial arts and literature when he was old.
Jia Amnesty didn't object either, practicing martial arts can strengthen one's body, and studying literature can help one learn etiquette.
In particular, scholars nowadays are very weak, and they are prone to illness if they only study but do not strengthen their bodies. In previous years, many students died of illness in order to take the imperial examination.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 30th year of the Showa era, and Jia Daishan still took the lead in worshiping the ancestors.
After the new year, Jia She heard that his cousin's wedding date was set in February, and Jia She let Tang Xi send a gift to Jiangnan, so he put it down for now, and began to worry about his eldest sister.
It's not that he doesn't think he can't afford to support his eldest sister, it's just that women are too harsh nowadays. If he really keeps his eldest sister in the mansion, he's afraid that the gossip about his eldest sister will make her die of depression. Let the eldest sister live in the back yard and never go out?
After a year, he was concerned about Jia Zhengqiuwei's affairs, so Jia Amnesty didn't mention the elder sister's marriage, but he just paid more attention to it in private.
After the autumn, the list was released. Although Jia Zheng didn't get the first place in the exam, Xie Yuan, he was still among the best.
After September, the girl from the Wang family came out for the filial piety period, and the Jia family and the Wang family began to agree on the date of the wedding. Because the girl from the Wang family was not young, she had been preparing for the filial piety period, so the wedding date was directly set in October.
In October, the Wang family passed through the door, and when they visited their in-laws the next day, Jia She and Tang Xi were both there. They met this girl from the Wang family who had never met before. Not as good as this Wang family, but Jia She is not a person who values beauty, otherwise he would not have such a good relationship with Tang Xi.
Now that the two brothers are married, but the elder sister's marriage has not yet happened, Jia She is a little anxious.
The eldest sister is only one year younger than the cousin, and the cousin is married now, so there must be no sign of the eldest sister's marriage.
As usual, Jia Amnesty was handling chores in the Ministry of War while keeping an eye out for unmarried young men in private, but it was really difficult to find them in the court hall, as some people had lost their wives and then adopted their wives.
Speaking of the stepmother, there was a matchmaker who came to hire Jia She's eldest sister as his stepmother. Jia She kicked the matchmaker out, turned around and beat up the son of the family who hired the matchmaker before suppressing the evil wind. Go on, but overnight, Jia She's eldest sister has indeed become a girl that no one cares about, not only the eldest sister, but no one dares to ask for marriage from Jia She's second and third sisters.
Nowadays, three wives and four concubines are the norm, common people are not qualified to take concubines, but how could Jia Shen marry his sister to common people?Anyone who is worthy of Jia She's eldest sister is qualified to take concubines, but Jia She is not willing to look for a lower family background. For this kind of people, those with low backgrounds can also be outstanding, but where is it so easy to find?
Originally, there was going to be a war in the south in Showa 30, but it turned out that there was a natural disaster in the south, so the war disappeared naturally, and Jia Amnesty couldn't leave Beijing.
In the blink of an eye, it will be Showa 31. This year, the three brothers-in-law of the Tang family and Jia Zheng are going to take part in the examination of this subject. The three brothers of the Tang family will undoubtedly dominate the list. The first name is Jia She's eldest brother-in-law Tang Ming, but No.2 But it wasn't the second brother-in-law Tang Feng, but the third brother-in-law Tang Jin. Tang Feng got No.3 in the exam. If the two brothers took the exam separately, they would both be able to get the first place in the exam, so they had to squeeze together.As for Jia Zheng, he got No. 19 in the exam, which is considered a good rank, and he did not disappoint Mr. Tang who taught him for more than a year.
When it came to the imperial examination, Tang Ming was selected as the No. 10 scholar. The second place was an unknown person. Tanhua was Tang Jin, and Tang Feng was the top two. Jia Zheng's ranking did not fall but rose. Jia Zheng's best test ever.
After Jia Zheng passed the examination, he asked to be selected as a foreign class, and he was sent to be a county magistrate, and Wang was also with him.
Mrs. Rong Guogong is currently picking a husband for her eldest daughter, but Jia She is not satisfied. With Jia She in the middle, Mrs. Rong Guogong is also in the middle.
This delay is two years.
Mrs. Rong Guo now has a headache when she sees Jia Amnesty, but seeing that Jia Siyan is about to turn [-], and Jia Amnesty is still making trouble like this, Jia Shi's temper came up and directly gave Jia Amnesty an ultimatum. When she arrives, she will directly make an appointment for Yan'er, don't blame her for not giving a chance.
In the 33rd year of the Showa era, just after Qiu Wei, Jia She happened to get together with Niu Jizong to have a drink in Zhuangyuan Building.
There was a lot of noise downstairs, and Jia She was very annoyed, "What's the noise downstairs?"
After listening for a while, Niu Jizong said, "Is it talking about this year's autumn, it has nothing to do with us." After a pause, he said, "Enhou, do you think the south can still fight? , I am very anxious."
"How do I know?" Jia She said with a snort.
After chatting, after the meeting, I heard someone say that Qiu Wei's Xie Yuan came from a poor family. Jia She didn't take it seriously, but heard a familiar name——Liu Hong.
After stopping and listening for a while, Jia Amnesty was a little surprised.
Liu Hongcai is in his early twenties, right?Did you know Yuan in the exam?Although it is only Jie Yuan in the capital, and the gold content is not as good as that in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not easy, and the capital is not without talents.
How old is Liu Hong this year, 21 or 22?
Jia She calculated the age of the eldest sister, she is twenty this year, not yet twenty, the difference between the two is one or two years old, the age is very suitable.
Thinking in this way, Jia Amnesty turned to another courtyard, but unexpectedly ran into a matchmaker.
Jia Amnesty stood outside the door and watched the matchmaker spit on Liu Hong's face, but Liu Hong didn't let go.
"Liu Jieyuan, you have to think about it clearly. This is the only daughter of the Marquis of Dingcheng. Even if she is a concubine, if you are accompanied by a noble daughter from the Hou family, you are the one who has made a name for herself."
Before that, the matchmaker only said that the family was Xie, but did not say that it was from the Dingcheng Houfu. Liu Hong kept sternly refusing, but seeing the matchmaker lower her face and put on a threatening tone, Jia Amnesty originally planned to go in, but Listening to Liu Hong sneering, "Young lady of Dingcheng Hou's Mansion, you dare not climb high, please."
"Don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine. You dare to refuse the marriage of the Hou's mansion. Believe it or not, you can't stay in the capital?"
Jia She stepped into the door and sneered, "I want to see how the Marquis of Dingcheng drove my future sister-in-law out of the capital?"
The matchmaker was startled when she heard the unfamiliar voice, and subconsciously began to curse, turned around and saw Jia She, swallowed the words as she reached her lips, her face turned pale.
"Young Master Rong..."
How could it be this evil star?
Liu Hong also looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise, what kind of sister-in-law?Eunuch, what's going on here?
"Master, I don't know this Liu Jieyuan..." The matchmaker laughed, not daring to look at Jia She.
Who in the whole capital doesn't know about the messy things between Rongguo's mansion and Dingchenghou's mansion?Xie Chen took that girl named Ningshuang out of Beijing last year, and now he doesn't know where he went.
"Get out!" Jia Amnesty said coldly, too lazy to listen to the matchmaker's nonsense.
The matchmaker ran away impatiently as if she had received an amnesty.
"Emperor..."
Jia Amnesty raised his hand to signal him not to speak, "Let's go to the study and talk."
Seeing this, Liu Hong could only suppress the excitement in his heart, and followed Jia She to the study.
"Did you hear what I said at the door?" Jia She knowingly asked Liu Hong to nod his head, and said hesitantly, "Benefactor is talking about the eldest daughter of Duke Rong? The one who divorced Xie Chen?" big girl?"
"Actually, I also suddenly remembered that you are the right age, and I'm not lying to you. I just thought of you when I heard that you were in Xieyuan. If you mind, just pretend that I didn't say it before, and I won't Blame you, after all, this is just my wishful thinking."
Jia Amnesty didn't say that he saved Liu Hong and took Liu Hong in, so he threatened to repay his kindness. What he wanted was to be happy with each other. If he forced people to marry, he could force too many people. Why would he choose a good relationship to coerce? ?
"Don't blame Engong, I was just a scholar before, how can I be worthy of the daughter of the Duke?" He can't even be worthy of the concubine daughter of the Marquis Mansion, unless he wins the first prize, but how difficult is it?He has confidence in being a Jinshi, but he has no confidence in being a champion.
Jia She frowned, feeling that Liu Hong's words had some meaning.
Liu Hong seems to intend to marry his sister?Otherwise, I wouldn't say whether I deserve it or not.
"Liu Hong, in fact, you are not too young. The snowstorm took the lives of your parents back then. Now you have no parents, and no one to manage your marriage. You still have a younger sister to take care of. You really need a wife to help you." You, my eldest sister dare not say anything else. No one in Beijing knows that she has a gentle temperament. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have made a big fuss after discovering what Xie Chen had done, because my sister She is too soft-tempered, if she really married in that situation, she would die of depression sooner or later, after all, it is my sister, how could I let her marry while knowing what will happen to her if she married?"
"I understand what Engong means. I also have a sister. If my future sister-in-law dares to treat my sister like this, even if I am incapable, I will fight him hard." Liu Hong really understood Jia She's thoughts.
Jia She nodded, "Actually, I didn't notice you at all. If I hadn't just heard someone talking about Xie Yuan in the Beijing subject named Liu Hong in the Zhuangyuan Building, I wouldn't have thought of you. Your current identity is indeed worthy of my sister." Reluctantly, but I believe you will not stop at Jieyuan. It will be difficult to say who is not worthy of whom in the future. So I also tell you clearly, I just want you to marry my sister on purpose, you don’t have to feel that I am treating you Brother and sister had the grace to save their lives, so they agreed to me with humiliation, this is not what I want, I really hope that my sister and sister-in-law can fall in love with each other, instead of forcing them together."
Liu Hong's cheeks were a little red, and he wanted to say something, but Jia Amnesty raised his hand to signal, "Don't talk for now, let me finish."
Seeing Jia Amnesty's serious expression, Liu Hong closed his mouth again.
"I think you have lived in the capital for so long, especially with Kong Lu, you should have heard about the relationship between me and my wife. I know that I want to find someone who treats my wife like me to match my sister. , It's hard, men nowadays yearn for three wives and four concubines, I don't want my sister to be wronged, but sometimes I can't do anything, it's the way of the world, I can't change the way of the world, I can only work hard to make my sister's life better, I Do you want me to tell you what it takes to marry my sister, and what Xie Chen will end up with? I said, I won't blame you, it's human nature, we are old acquaintances, if we have something to say, we don't need to hide it, it will be ugly when the time comes, what do you think?"
Liu Hong blushed and lowered his head, and said, "Can I really marry Shizi's younger sister?"
Jia She raised his eyebrows, this kid didn't listen to his request?
"Of course you can marry, but..."
Liu Hong raised his head and looked at Jia Amnesty, his eyes seemed to be shining, "Actually, in fact, I have long intended to propose marriage, but, it's just that I am not good enough for her."
Jia Amnesty looked at Liu Hong unexpectedly, "I have been interested in it for a long time? If I remember correctly, you should have never met my sister?"
"Actually, I've seen it before..." Liu Hong blushed even more, but he insisted on looking at Jia Amnesty, "That was six years ago, and Mrs. Rong Guogong took her to Lingguang Temple to offer incense. , That day, my classmate and I were in the back mountain of Lingguang Temple. We drank some wine and walked alone. I saw her. I know that I don’t believe in love at first sight, but I have seen her more than once, and it was only later that I found out that it was your sister. I never thought I would be rescued by you, let alone today."
When he knew that his sweetheart was Rong Guogong's eldest daughter, he felt that there was little hope of marrying her. If his parents hadn't died, if he worked hard and could pass the Jinshi examination in Showa 31, he might still have hope, but Once his parents die, he will have to observe mourning for three years, so he can only miss it without a doubt.
This is not the most desperate thing, the most desperate thing is that it didn't take long for him to hear that she was married, she was the son of the Hou family, his status was incomparable, he was already desperate.
But unexpectedly, Xie Chen actually killed himself. He thought he could do what Jia Amnesty said, but he was afraid that she would not be able to wait.
Next year will be the year of the Dabi, but after this year she will be 21, the Rongguo Mansion probably won't let her stay in the mansion to waste time, the morals of the world are harsh on women, it is impossible for her not to get married before next year.
He just put all his eggs in one basket, thinking what if there was hope?
In fact, he had already given up hope. He didn't expect Jia Amnesty to see his existence.
Jia She was also a little stunned, he didn't expect such a fate, after thinking about it, Jia She felt that Liu Hong was the most suitable husband-in-law for his sister.
"Well... Liu Hong, I think you should think about this matter more. If you really decide to marry my sister, please invite the official media to come to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage. You don't have to worry about family status. Now my sister's situation , If someone proposes a marriage, the wife will laugh out loud, and don't dare to ask for too much, you don't have to worry about the disparity in family status, you should think about it, I'll go back first."
After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he left without giving Liu Hong a chance to speak again. He also rushed back to tell his elder sister about it. The elder sister must have been under a lot of psychological pressure in the past few years, and the smile on her face It's a lot less, if you know that you still have an admirer, not an old girl who can't get married, you should be very happy?
After a few glances, Jia She ordered someone to call Xu Jie.
"You pick a piece and send it to Liuguanglou, and let them carve it according to this picture. It must meet my requirements." Jia Amnesty didn't say what will happen if it fails, but he believes that the shopkeeper of Liuguanglou understands that it can't meet it. the consequences of the request.
Xu Jie just thought it was jade and didn't think much about it, but when he first got it, he felt something different.
Xu Jie was in charge of Jia She's shop, so he had seen the world, so he immediately recognized what was in his hand, "Nuanyu?"
"Except for the piece for Liuguanglou, you can go find a few famous master sculptors, and make sure to carve it well. I'm going to give it away." Jia She said.
Xu Jie looked at the pieces of warm jade in his hand, they were all bigger than a grown man's fist, at least ten pieces of jade pendants could be carved, and counting the people in Jia's mansion, from the master to the eldest son of the uncle, it was about ten or so. Yes, even if there are leftovers, there will be more children in the mansion in the future, so there is no need to worry about not being able to send them out.
"Leave this to me, sir, don't worry."
Jia Amnesty waved him to go down, of course he can rest assured that Xu Jie is his confidant after all.
As for why not let Xu Jie find someone to carve all the warm jade, Jia Amnesty also considered it, because the time is urgent, and carving is a delicate job, the longer it takes, the more exquisite the carving will be.
After all, the Liuguang Building is a famous silver building in the capital, and the cooperating master sculptor must be very powerful, and even if he thinks about it in a hurry, he can still meet his standards.
Although Xu Jie also has skills, he really doesn't involve in sculpture.
As for Kong Lu, he has a lot of contacts, but most of them are in the grass and lakes. He is afraid that he is not familiar with such masters of art.
After solving a major matter on his mind, Jia Amnesty came out to have dinner with Tang Xi.
In the twinkling of an eye, it entered February, the first day of the new year was Jia Shexiu, and Liuguanglou just picked this day to send the carved warm jade. It is three pieces of warm jade.
Jia Amnesty was not surprised, because the warm jade he took out was not small.
But he only gave a blueprint, and one piece of warm jade was carved according to the blueprint given by Jia She.
The word Min is engraved on the front, and eight characters are engraved on the back, long life and good luck.
The other two pieces of warm jade are engraved with bamboo on the front and plum blossoms on the other.There are eight characters engraved on the back of the two pieces of jade pendant, the engraved on the back of the warm jade of bamboo is: the title of the gold list, Pengcheng Wanli;
They are all excellent meanings, but it is obvious that the last two jade pendants are for men.
Jia Amnesty smiled, remembering Liuguanglou's gesture of favor this time, he turned his head into the space and picked out a beautiful red sandalwood box, and put the three pieces of warm jade pendants in it. Only Jia Min could engrave the word Min Dai, the other two dollars...Let sister Min leave the cabinet in the future and give it to her husband and son.
The next day, the second day of February, was Jia Min's birthday. The gift Jia She gave was very suitable to Jia Min's wishes, and it was rare for Jia She to give him a good face.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and Jia She has been on duty in the Ministry of War for a month or two. The court is calm, and Jia She is wondering if what his father said to him before was bluffing him. People's daughters, selling officials and nobles.
The emperor asked the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to interrogate the three divisions on the spot.
The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate received the order and quickly started the investigation, and successfully obtained witnesses and physical evidence. In just three to five days, the prince and the prince were convicted of more than a dozen major crimes, including framing Zhongliang, murder and arson. Cui Yu's case has obviously been vindicated for the crime of killing people.
This dynasty does not kill brothers, so His Majesty took back the Prince's Mansion in addition to the titles of Prince and Prince, and banned the Mo Huiquan, which had been de-ranked, in the Clan Mansion.
Mo Hui is the emperor's brother, so he escaped death, but Mo Hui's henchmen were not so lucky. They pulled out radishes and brought out mud. Blood flowed like a river.
Jia Amnesty only knew that the Ministry of War was missing a servant, two langs and a few principals, not to mention the other five departments.
This time, the emperor can be said to have cleaned the court severely in the name of cleaning up Mo Hui.
After the turmoil subsided, the emperor's decree was passed to the fifth prince's mansion, and Cui Hui was bestowed on the fifth prince as a side concubine.
Originally, in Cui Hui's situation, it was impossible to marry into another family, and the emperor was also trying to compensate Cui Yu who died unjustly.
Fortunately, not many people knew that Cui Hui was the Rouge girl back then, otherwise, how could someone who had been in a brothel be qualified to be the concubine of the royal family?
After a year or two, the Fifth Prince still entered the Ministry of Punishment.
Jia Amnesty went to the Ministry of War every day. Without the shit stick, the atmosphere in the Ministry of War became better and better. Of course, it could not be ruled out that it was because the Emperor had just cleaned the court.
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the relationship between Jia She and his colleagues has become closer and closer. When he is free, he will invite Jia She to have a drink together. Some colleagues who entered the imperial examination did not show much distaste for Jia She, because although Jia She said that he grew up practicing martial arts, his soul was transmitted from later generations, and there was some ink in his stomach, but he had never read the Four Books and Five Classics. That's all.
In the second half of the year, Jia Zheng passed the college exam and returned to Beijing. At the same time, Jia Amnesty also knew that Liu Hong had also passed the college exam and was still among the best.
Next August will be Qiu Wei, and the time is very tight. After Jia Zheng returned to Beijing, he entrusted Jia She to come forward, and then stayed at the Tang family to study.
Apart from being on duty at the Ministry of War, Jia Amnesty is now accompanying Tang Xidou, Jia Shen, who is only a few months old. The [-]-month-old child is very clever, neither crying nor fussing, but he can't speak yet. Want to talk, ah ah ah non-stop all day long.
On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Jia She returned home, he found that the atmosphere was not right.
On the way to the East Courtyard, Director Ding came over, "Master, Master invites you to Rongqing Hall."
Jia She's heart was pounding suddenly, "What's wrong with grandma?"
"The old lady is fine." Director Ding was taken aback for a moment, and said immediately.
Jia Amnesty frowned at this answer, and without further questioning, he turned around and walked towards the Rongqing Hall, and when he entered, he saw that his family members were all there.
Grandpa and wife, second brother, daughter-in-law and son, four sisters and cousin.
"What is this for?"
Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi sit at the top on the left, Jia Zheng and Jia Min sit below, and on the right are Tang Xi holding Jia Shen and three concubine sisters.
Cousin Jiang Yilan sat beside the old lady.
After Jia Amnesty asked a question, he sat in the vacant top seat on the right.
"Today, the eldest daughter-in-law took Lan'er and Yan'er to Lingguang Temple to offer incense, and in the afternoon to digest food in the back mountain, met the bastard of the Dong family, and Lan'er accidentally fell into the water..."
Jia She's eyes widened, "Cousin was rescued by Dong Wei?"
If he remembered correctly, Dong Wei married a wife under the arrangement of Shou Shanbo after he recovered from his injury last year. Although it was very noisy, I heard that his wife was already pregnant and was about to give birth...
Jia Amnesty's face was extremely ugly.
Seeing Jia Amnesty misunderstood, Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Brother misunderstood, the one who saved my cousin was not Dong Wei, but Cai Shuhang."
Jia Amnesty was stunned, "Cai Shuhang? Is it the same year as my cousin?"
"It's him." Jia Zheng nodded.
Jia Amnesty's face turned down again, "Cai Shuhang has already won the championship, and won the top two last year, I am afraid that he will be married a long time ago..."
"Brother!" Jia Zheng interrupted Jia She, cleared his throat, and said, "Cai Shuhang is not married yet."
Jia She was stunned when he heard the words, "He is so old and still not married? What are you kidding?"
"It is true that Cai Shuhang has a wife who has never been married, but at the beginning of the year, the girl disappeared, so the marriage contract is naturally over. Now that Cai Shuhang is studying in the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy is noble, and his marriage is not difficult to find at all, but he I didn’t find the one I liked, so I dragged it until now.”
Jia She frowned, "You mean, he likes his cousin?"
Are you kidding me, how long has his unmarried wife been dead?
He looked pretty good in the past, but why hasn't he been seen for a while, and his character has deteriorated so much?
"Brother..." My cousin is still there, can you pay attention to what you say?
The expression on Jia Zheng's face was a little stiff, and he said helplessly, "It sounds like that, the cousin of the Jiang family seems to like Cai Shuhang quite a bit, and now he has written to his cousin in Jiangnan, the marriage is probably about to be settled Yes, the cousin of the Jiang family said that he would take his cousin back to prepare for her marriage."
Jia Amnesty: "..." You have already discussed it, why do you want me to come?
Jia Amnesty kept a straight face and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stagnant, the old lady said, "Xie'er, I know you want to find a good husband for your cousin. Didn't you like Cai Shuhang a lot before? I think this marriage is not bad."
Jia She grinned, "Grandma, how long has his unmarried wife been gone? And he just met my cousin, and he fell in love with her? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"But Yilan has already nodded." The old lady said helplessly.
Jia Amnesty was startled, and then looked at Jiang Yilan who was sitting beside the old lady, "Cousin, you..."
Jiang Yilan lowered her head, her cheeks were flushed, she bit her lips and said, "Actually, I've met him several times, but I didn't know he was Cai Shuhang, cousin..."
Jia Amnesty: "..."
Rubbing his forehead, Jia She frowned, and then let go, "Since you have already made up your mind, I have nothing to say. Let's ask my cousin from the Jiang family to discuss it later. My cousin is not in good health. I'm afraid If you can't go to Beijing, my cousin will marry from our family, and she will be able to live in her husband's house more in the future."
Few people would dare to challenge Rongguo Mansion's power now, unless it was the head iron.
Seeing that Jia She was relieved, the old lady also breathed a sigh of relief, because Jia She's previous attitude was a bit too firm, and the old lady was also worried that Jia She would feel uncomfortable, and it would be bad to have a grudge against Yilan in the future, let's talk It's all right.
Afterwards, Jiang Yilan still lived in Rongguo Mansion, Jia She didn't have much time, so Jiang Boxuan took Cai Shuhang to the gate of Rongguo Mansion with Jia Shexiu on holiday.
Jia Amnesty didn't expect Jiang Boxuan to bring Cai Shuhang, so he didn't realize it for a while.
"Sir."
It's been a while since I've seen Cai Shuhang, and Cai Shuhang has lost the stunned young man he met for the first time, and his demeanor is much gentler.
Jia Amnesty didn't even show Cai Shuhang's face, and while asking his servants to serve tea, he asked, "I heard that Shuhang's unmarried wife died at the beginning of the year?"
They are all smart people, and Cai Shuhang has also heard about Jia She's embarrassment for his younger sister. This cousin has lived in the mansion for more than a year, and he is no different from his own sister when he thinks about it. He probably understands Jia She the meaning of.
"To tell the truth, my son, I have never met the fiancee who is gone, let alone have any feelings for him. I know what my son is worried about. Our family is not a small family, and we can be worthy of a scholarly family if we ask ourselves." , there will never be anything that the prince is worried about, so the prince can rest assured."
Jia She smiled faintly, "I'll tell you the ugly things first, if you promise me so in front of me, but something embarrassing happens later, don't blame me for not remembering the past."
Cai Shuhang didn't care about Jia She's blatant warning, he just smiled and said, "A man in my Cai family can only take a concubine when he is forty and childless, and I have heard that the eldest son promised the Tang family a couple for a lifetime, and I am actually very envious of the eldest son. "
Jia Amnesty was surprised now, this is actually someone who yearns for a lifetime of being a couple?
Didn't you fool him?
Seeing Jia Amnesty's disbelief, Cai Shuhang said, "Everything you say now is just a good word, what does your son think?"
"I thought it would be of no use. The Jiang family and the Cai family have already started discussing marriage, right?"
In fact, Jia Amnesty didn't have any bad feelings towards Cai Shuhang. After Cai Shuhang explained, the slightest concern in his heart dissipated, but he was still somewhat worried.
People's hearts are changeable, but Cai Shuhang has changed after not seeing him for a while. Jia Amnesty can't predict the future changes at all, but his cousin accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Cai Shuhang. Cai Shuhang, there is no second choice.
Thinking of this, Jia She sighed, "Compared to others, I believe in your character. I just hope that you don't let me down."
Otherwise, he would really do whatever it takes to suppress Cai Shuhang and make him understand that his sister is not easy to bully, and that his cousin is also a younger sister.
A month later, Jiang Yilan's cousin sent a letter, asking Jiang Yilan to return to Jiangnan to prepare for her marriage. Cai Shuhang is currently studying in the Imperial Academy, so it's nothing too important, and he can go back to his hometown to get married after reporting.
When they get married in Jiangnan, of course Jia Amnesty has no choice but to ask Tang Xi to prepare a gift and send it to Jiangnan.
At the end of October, Jia Shen is about to turn one year old, and now he can walk by himself with the help of things, although he is still a little unsteady.
Jia Shen's Ceremony of Catch Zhou was being prepared in the mansion, and Jia Amnesty also picked some things from the space to add to it.
On October [-]th, when Jia Shen was one year old, the Rongguo Mansion invited acquaintances to participate in the Zhou Catch Ceremony.
Jia Shen is good-looking, looks smart and clever, but many people can't stop boasting. During the Catch Zhou ceremony, Jia Shen grabbed a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and didn't let it go.
Jia Daishan had high hopes for his eldest grandson, and told Jia Amnesty more than once that Jia Shen should be allowed to learn martial arts and literature when he was old.
Jia Amnesty didn't object either, practicing martial arts can strengthen one's body, and studying literature can help one learn etiquette.
In particular, scholars nowadays are very weak, and they are prone to illness if they only study but do not strengthen their bodies. In previous years, many students died of illness in order to take the imperial examination.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 30th year of the Showa era, and Jia Daishan still took the lead in worshiping the ancestors.
After the new year, Jia She heard that his cousin's wedding date was set in February, and Jia She let Tang Xi send a gift to Jiangnan, so he put it down for now, and began to worry about his eldest sister.
It's not that he doesn't think he can't afford to support his eldest sister, it's just that women are too harsh nowadays. If he really keeps his eldest sister in the mansion, he's afraid that the gossip about his eldest sister will make her die of depression. Let the eldest sister live in the back yard and never go out?
After a year, he was concerned about Jia Zhengqiuwei's affairs, so Jia Amnesty didn't mention the elder sister's marriage, but he just paid more attention to it in private.
After the autumn, the list was released. Although Jia Zheng didn't get the first place in the exam, Xie Yuan, he was still among the best.
After September, the girl from the Wang family came out for the filial piety period, and the Jia family and the Wang family began to agree on the date of the wedding. Because the girl from the Wang family was not young, she had been preparing for the filial piety period, so the wedding date was directly set in October.
In October, the Wang family passed through the door, and when they visited their in-laws the next day, Jia She and Tang Xi were both there. They met this girl from the Wang family who had never met before. Not as good as this Wang family, but Jia She is not a person who values beauty, otherwise he would not have such a good relationship with Tang Xi.
Now that the two brothers are married, but the elder sister's marriage has not yet happened, Jia She is a little anxious.
The eldest sister is only one year younger than the cousin, and the cousin is married now, so there must be no sign of the eldest sister's marriage.
As usual, Jia Amnesty was handling chores in the Ministry of War while keeping an eye out for unmarried young men in private, but it was really difficult to find them in the court hall, as some people had lost their wives and then adopted their wives.
Speaking of the stepmother, there was a matchmaker who came to hire Jia She's eldest sister as his stepmother. Jia She kicked the matchmaker out, turned around and beat up the son of the family who hired the matchmaker before suppressing the evil wind. Go on, but overnight, Jia She's eldest sister has indeed become a girl that no one cares about, not only the eldest sister, but no one dares to ask for marriage from Jia She's second and third sisters.
Nowadays, three wives and four concubines are the norm, common people are not qualified to take concubines, but how could Jia Shen marry his sister to common people?Anyone who is worthy of Jia She's eldest sister is qualified to take concubines, but Jia She is not willing to look for a lower family background. For this kind of people, those with low backgrounds can also be outstanding, but where is it so easy to find?
Originally, there was going to be a war in the south in Showa 30, but it turned out that there was a natural disaster in the south, so the war disappeared naturally, and Jia Amnesty couldn't leave Beijing.
In the blink of an eye, it will be Showa 31. This year, the three brothers-in-law of the Tang family and Jia Zheng are going to take part in the examination of this subject. The three brothers of the Tang family will undoubtedly dominate the list. The first name is Jia She's eldest brother-in-law Tang Ming, but No.2 But it wasn't the second brother-in-law Tang Feng, but the third brother-in-law Tang Jin. Tang Feng got No.3 in the exam. If the two brothers took the exam separately, they would both be able to get the first place in the exam, so they had to squeeze together.As for Jia Zheng, he got No. 19 in the exam, which is considered a good rank, and he did not disappoint Mr. Tang who taught him for more than a year.
When it came to the imperial examination, Tang Ming was selected as the No. 10 scholar. The second place was an unknown person. Tanhua was Tang Jin, and Tang Feng was the top two. Jia Zheng's ranking did not fall but rose. Jia Zheng's best test ever.
After Jia Zheng passed the examination, he asked to be selected as a foreign class, and he was sent to be a county magistrate, and Wang was also with him.
Mrs. Rong Guogong is currently picking a husband for her eldest daughter, but Jia She is not satisfied. With Jia She in the middle, Mrs. Rong Guogong is also in the middle.
This delay is two years.
Mrs. Rong Guo now has a headache when she sees Jia Amnesty, but seeing that Jia Siyan is about to turn [-], and Jia Amnesty is still making trouble like this, Jia Shi's temper came up and directly gave Jia Amnesty an ultimatum. When she arrives, she will directly make an appointment for Yan'er, don't blame her for not giving a chance.
In the 33rd year of the Showa era, just after Qiu Wei, Jia She happened to get together with Niu Jizong to have a drink in Zhuangyuan Building.
There was a lot of noise downstairs, and Jia She was very annoyed, "What's the noise downstairs?"
After listening for a while, Niu Jizong said, "Is it talking about this year's autumn, it has nothing to do with us." After a pause, he said, "Enhou, do you think the south can still fight? , I am very anxious."
"How do I know?" Jia She said with a snort.
After chatting, after the meeting, I heard someone say that Qiu Wei's Xie Yuan came from a poor family. Jia She didn't take it seriously, but heard a familiar name——Liu Hong.
After stopping and listening for a while, Jia Amnesty was a little surprised.
Liu Hongcai is in his early twenties, right?Did you know Yuan in the exam?Although it is only Jie Yuan in the capital, and the gold content is not as good as that in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not easy, and the capital is not without talents.
How old is Liu Hong this year, 21 or 22?
Jia She calculated the age of the eldest sister, she is twenty this year, not yet twenty, the difference between the two is one or two years old, the age is very suitable.
Thinking in this way, Jia Amnesty turned to another courtyard, but unexpectedly ran into a matchmaker.
Jia Amnesty stood outside the door and watched the matchmaker spit on Liu Hong's face, but Liu Hong didn't let go.
"Liu Jieyuan, you have to think about it clearly. This is the only daughter of the Marquis of Dingcheng. Even if she is a concubine, if you are accompanied by a noble daughter from the Hou family, you are the one who has made a name for herself."
Before that, the matchmaker only said that the family was Xie, but did not say that it was from the Dingcheng Houfu. Liu Hong kept sternly refusing, but seeing the matchmaker lower her face and put on a threatening tone, Jia Amnesty originally planned to go in, but Listening to Liu Hong sneering, "Young lady of Dingcheng Hou's Mansion, you dare not climb high, please."
"Don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine. You dare to refuse the marriage of the Hou's mansion. Believe it or not, you can't stay in the capital?"
Jia She stepped into the door and sneered, "I want to see how the Marquis of Dingcheng drove my future sister-in-law out of the capital?"
The matchmaker was startled when she heard the unfamiliar voice, and subconsciously began to curse, turned around and saw Jia She, swallowed the words as she reached her lips, her face turned pale.
"Young Master Rong..."
How could it be this evil star?
Liu Hong also looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise, what kind of sister-in-law?Eunuch, what's going on here?
"Master, I don't know this Liu Jieyuan..." The matchmaker laughed, not daring to look at Jia She.
Who in the whole capital doesn't know about the messy things between Rongguo's mansion and Dingchenghou's mansion?Xie Chen took that girl named Ningshuang out of Beijing last year, and now he doesn't know where he went.
"Get out!" Jia Amnesty said coldly, too lazy to listen to the matchmaker's nonsense.
The matchmaker ran away impatiently as if she had received an amnesty.
"Emperor..."
Jia Amnesty raised his hand to signal him not to speak, "Let's go to the study and talk."
Seeing this, Liu Hong could only suppress the excitement in his heart, and followed Jia She to the study.
"Did you hear what I said at the door?" Jia She knowingly asked Liu Hong to nod his head, and said hesitantly, "Benefactor is talking about the eldest daughter of Duke Rong? The one who divorced Xie Chen?" big girl?"
"Actually, I also suddenly remembered that you are the right age, and I'm not lying to you. I just thought of you when I heard that you were in Xieyuan. If you mind, just pretend that I didn't say it before, and I won't Blame you, after all, this is just my wishful thinking."
Jia Amnesty didn't say that he saved Liu Hong and took Liu Hong in, so he threatened to repay his kindness. What he wanted was to be happy with each other. If he forced people to marry, he could force too many people. Why would he choose a good relationship to coerce? ?
"Don't blame Engong, I was just a scholar before, how can I be worthy of the daughter of the Duke?" He can't even be worthy of the concubine daughter of the Marquis Mansion, unless he wins the first prize, but how difficult is it?He has confidence in being a Jinshi, but he has no confidence in being a champion.
Jia She frowned, feeling that Liu Hong's words had some meaning.
Liu Hong seems to intend to marry his sister?Otherwise, I wouldn't say whether I deserve it or not.
"Liu Hong, in fact, you are not too young. The snowstorm took the lives of your parents back then. Now you have no parents, and no one to manage your marriage. You still have a younger sister to take care of. You really need a wife to help you." You, my eldest sister dare not say anything else. No one in Beijing knows that she has a gentle temperament. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have made a big fuss after discovering what Xie Chen had done, because my sister She is too soft-tempered, if she really married in that situation, she would die of depression sooner or later, after all, it is my sister, how could I let her marry while knowing what will happen to her if she married?"
"I understand what Engong means. I also have a sister. If my future sister-in-law dares to treat my sister like this, even if I am incapable, I will fight him hard." Liu Hong really understood Jia She's thoughts.
Jia She nodded, "Actually, I didn't notice you at all. If I hadn't just heard someone talking about Xie Yuan in the Beijing subject named Liu Hong in the Zhuangyuan Building, I wouldn't have thought of you. Your current identity is indeed worthy of my sister." Reluctantly, but I believe you will not stop at Jieyuan. It will be difficult to say who is not worthy of whom in the future. So I also tell you clearly, I just want you to marry my sister on purpose, you don’t have to feel that I am treating you Brother and sister had the grace to save their lives, so they agreed to me with humiliation, this is not what I want, I really hope that my sister and sister-in-law can fall in love with each other, instead of forcing them together."
Liu Hong's cheeks were a little red, and he wanted to say something, but Jia Amnesty raised his hand to signal, "Don't talk for now, let me finish."
Seeing Jia Amnesty's serious expression, Liu Hong closed his mouth again.
"I think you have lived in the capital for so long, especially with Kong Lu, you should have heard about the relationship between me and my wife. I know that I want to find someone who treats my wife like me to match my sister. , It's hard, men nowadays yearn for three wives and four concubines, I don't want my sister to be wronged, but sometimes I can't do anything, it's the way of the world, I can't change the way of the world, I can only work hard to make my sister's life better, I Do you want me to tell you what it takes to marry my sister, and what Xie Chen will end up with? I said, I won't blame you, it's human nature, we are old acquaintances, if we have something to say, we don't need to hide it, it will be ugly when the time comes, what do you think?"
Liu Hong blushed and lowered his head, and said, "Can I really marry Shizi's younger sister?"
Jia She raised his eyebrows, this kid didn't listen to his request?
"Of course you can marry, but..."
Liu Hong raised his head and looked at Jia Amnesty, his eyes seemed to be shining, "Actually, in fact, I have long intended to propose marriage, but, it's just that I am not good enough for her."
Jia Amnesty looked at Liu Hong unexpectedly, "I have been interested in it for a long time? If I remember correctly, you should have never met my sister?"
"Actually, I've seen it before..." Liu Hong blushed even more, but he insisted on looking at Jia Amnesty, "That was six years ago, and Mrs. Rong Guogong took her to Lingguang Temple to offer incense. , That day, my classmate and I were in the back mountain of Lingguang Temple. We drank some wine and walked alone. I saw her. I know that I don’t believe in love at first sight, but I have seen her more than once, and it was only later that I found out that it was your sister. I never thought I would be rescued by you, let alone today."
When he knew that his sweetheart was Rong Guogong's eldest daughter, he felt that there was little hope of marrying her. If his parents hadn't died, if he worked hard and could pass the Jinshi examination in Showa 31, he might still have hope, but Once his parents die, he will have to observe mourning for three years, so he can only miss it without a doubt.
This is not the most desperate thing, the most desperate thing is that it didn't take long for him to hear that she was married, she was the son of the Hou family, his status was incomparable, he was already desperate.
But unexpectedly, Xie Chen actually killed himself. He thought he could do what Jia Amnesty said, but he was afraid that she would not be able to wait.
Next year will be the year of the Dabi, but after this year she will be 21, the Rongguo Mansion probably won't let her stay in the mansion to waste time, the morals of the world are harsh on women, it is impossible for her not to get married before next year.
He just put all his eggs in one basket, thinking what if there was hope?
In fact, he had already given up hope. He didn't expect Jia Amnesty to see his existence.
Jia She was also a little stunned, he didn't expect such a fate, after thinking about it, Jia She felt that Liu Hong was the most suitable husband-in-law for his sister.
"Well... Liu Hong, I think you should think about this matter more. If you really decide to marry my sister, please invite the official media to come to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage. You don't have to worry about family status. Now my sister's situation , If someone proposes a marriage, the wife will laugh out loud, and don't dare to ask for too much, you don't have to worry about the disparity in family status, you should think about it, I'll go back first."
After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he left without giving Liu Hong a chance to speak again. He also rushed back to tell his elder sister about it. The elder sister must have been under a lot of psychological pressure in the past few years, and the smile on her face It's a lot less, if you know that you still have an admirer, not an old girl who can't get married, you should be very happy?
