Since the flower viewing feast, people who came to ask for marriage almost broke through the threshold of Taifu's mansion. Of course, the person who asked for marriage was not Jiang Ning, but Jiang Xin, who performed a wonderful water sleeve dance in the Princess' mansion.Jiang Ning has already been ordered by Prince Hui, who would be so blind to rob the prince for his wife!

In the eyes of everyone, Taifu's Mansion is already tied to the same boat as Prince Hui, and now the battle for the reserve is fierce. With the power of competition, it is said that the eldest prince is the eldest son and the eldest son, so he is the most suitable heir. However, in recent years, the emperor's attitude towards the eldest prince has been very subtle.On the contrary, the fourth prince, who is the youngest, has suddenly emerged. Now that he is married to the Taifu's mansion, he is more sure of winning the heir.

People are greedy, and not everyone can resist the temptation of Conglong Zhigong. Some ministers with low official positions want to get married to King Hui, and rush to talk about marriage, but anyone who has connections knows that the future Queen Hui and Princess Hui will marry each other. This concubine's relationship is not very good, so it is inevitable that she will not be married to a prostitute. Most people choose the Jiang family's first-line daughter within five clothes. For a while, Jiang's daughters of the right age are very sought-after.

Almost all the people who came to Jiang's mansion to ask for marriage were the sons of low-level officials of the seventh or eighth rank.

Mrs. Jiang sat in Jiang Ning's room, turned back a matchmaker again with a slumped face, and said angrily: "Just go out for a while and attract bees and butterflies. Sure enough, just like her foxy girl, she specializes in seducing men!"

Jiang Ning poured a cup of tea, put it in front of Mrs. Jiang, and persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry. My younger sister is well married, and her reputation to my mother is also good. When the second sister got married, there were some gossip outside. My younger sister looks at a good man, so I can stop the mouth of Youyou outside."

Back then Mrs. Jiang decided to marry her second sister, Jiang Yun, to her nephew whose parents both died. Although the second brother-in-law didn’t have a concubine, she didn’t have any job at that time, and she was a little older. Married his own daughter.When the second sister's marriage was settled, many people outside said that Mrs. Jiang only cared about supporting her nephew and didn't take the concubine's daughter seriously.Fortunately, Aunt Zhou could see clearly and didn't come out to make trouble, otherwise it would be a real joke.

Mrs. Jiang plausibly said: "Sister Yun, I am doing it for her own good. She is too soft-tempered. If she marries into a wealthy family, the twists and turns inside will sooner or later make her eat so much that she won't even be able to spit out her bones. It's better to marry her." The nephew in my family, although he has a simple background, he is willing to make progress, and he has climbed to the sixth rank in just a few years. He has treated Sister Yun well these years, and he doesn't even have a concubine around him. With me watching, Sister Yun can't lose."

"Since my mother is willing to worry about the second sister, she must be able to let go of her grudges and find a good marriage for the fourth sister."

Mrs. Jiang paused for a moment, and then said viciously: "When I see her eyes that resemble Wen's, I will think of the evil things Wen's did back then, and my poor son, your eldest brother— —" Mrs. Jiang said angrily, and when she mentioned elder brother, she wiped her tears with her handkerchief.

"Mother." Jiang Ning picked up the handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears: "I was born late, and I have never met my elder brother, but I heard my mother and father often talk about it, thinking that my elder brother must be caring and filial. To comfort mother, but let mother drop golden beans, I will definitely be angry."

Hearing what Jiang Ning said, Mrs. Jiang gradually calmed down. She sighed quietly: "Brother Yi is a filial man, but it's a pity... now, I only have you and Yu'er left."

Mrs. Jiang's eyes fell on Jiang Ning's dowry box. The jewels inside were glittering and shining. The most conspicuous thing was the golden phoenix holding beads and tassels. "Fortunately, you are up to date..."

Mrs. Jiang was very fast. That night, she drew up a list of the brothers who came to propose marriage according to their family background, and annotated their family background, identity and conduct. Mrs. Jiang showed it to Taifu Jiang overnight. With Jiang Taifu's repeated praises, the two slept together all night, and they didn't completely calm down until dawn in the main courtyard.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Jiang sent someone to send the list to Yunxin Garden to Jiang Xin with a red face.

Seeing the list, Jiang Xin refused without thinking: "Mother Lao is too worried, I am still young, this matter is not urgent."

"Hey, look at what the fourth girl said, the eldest girl and the second girl were both married at this age." Wang Momo joked with a smile.

"Fourth Miss, this is a candidate carefully selected by Mrs. Wang." Nanny Wang opened the roster and introduced her one by one: "This Mr. Chen is the son of Mr. Chen, who serves as the censor in the palace. Handsome and talented; the father of Mr. Fang is an imperial doctor in the palace. It is said that he himself will be admitted to the imperial hospital this year. There is also Mr. Han, who went to the battlefield at a young age. Captain, the future is limitless..."

Every time Wang Momo read a word, Jiang Xin's face turned darker, until Wang Momo finished reading the whole list, Jiang Xin's face was already as dark as the bottom of a pot, she took a deep breath, and said word by word: "My elder sister is not yet married, my younger sister dare not marry."

Wang Momo said: "Just settle the marriage first, wait for the third girl to get married, and the fourth girl will marry again, so the rules won't be messed up."

Jiang Ning stuffed a purse into Wang Momo, but Wang Momo quickly refused: "It's impossible, how can I take the girl's things."

There was a slight smile on Jiang Xin's face, "Tell Mother Wang to go back and tell mother that I am still young, and I want to wait two years before talking about this matter."

Wang Momo originally thought that Jiang Ning would not agree to marry, after a little evasion, she took her purse and went to report to Mrs. Jiang.

After finally sending away Mother Wang, Jiang Xin burst into tears as soon as she turned around, lying on the round table and crying.

When Wen walked in, he happened to see his daughter Lihua in the rain, and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xin turned her head and buried her face in Wen's arms, and after crying for a while, she said: "Just now, Madam Wang who is beside Mrs. Cai came to say hello to me, but those people are not the common sons of the noble family, but the sesame officials My son, my father is a dignified first-rank Taifu, why would she humiliate me like this!"

When Wen Shi heard this, tears fell down: "It's because I didn't live up to it. After so many years, I'm still just an unnamed housekeeper, and I've hurt the girl. If the girl is born in the wife's womb, it must be a beautiful marriage. "

Jiang Xin also complained about Wen's low status, but she never said anything wrong with her parents, and she couldn't say anything cruel: "At any rate, mother, you have served her for so many years, why doesn't she even care about half of her affection? All these years, she Let us eat the worst food and wear human clothes. Now you still use these crooked melons and dates from low-income families to prevaricate me!" However, the father was blindly partial and turned a blind eye to the mother and daughter.

Wen's eyes flickered slightly: "I don't blame Madam, I did something wrong. Back then, I shouldn't have served the master when he was drunk, so there would be nothing else to do. You don't have to be blamed."

Jiang Xin sneered: "She can't control the heart of a man herself and doesn't allow others to come. A woman like her should only play prestige on the women in the backyard."

Wen Shi was so frightened that she covered Jiang Xin's mouth in a cold sweat, and hurriedly checked to see if anyone was eavesdropping: "The girl is crazy! Why are you talking so nonsense?"

With tears in her eyes, Wen said, "Don't worry, girl, even if I give up my face, I will make a good marriage for the girl."

"No need, I have to earn my own future. In the future, I will make Mrs. Zheng grovel in front of me."

Jiang Xin looked out of the room firmly, and Wen followed her gaze, which was the direction of the palace.

A figure flashed past the corner of the wall and hurried towards Manxiang Garden.

"She's taken a fancy to next year's draft." Mrs. Jiang half leaned on the couch, heard the news from the maid sent to monitor the mother and daughter, and raised her eyebrows at Jiang Ning: "She doesn't weigh it I have a few pounds and a few ounces, and I have a biological mother whose status is lower than that of a concubine, so I dare to dream about it!"

"If my sister can really enter the palace or be favored by some prince, it is her ability." Jiang Ning is not worried that King Hui will take a fancy to Jiang Xin. With King Hui's temperament, since he has chosen her, he will not be in the Jiang family again. Not everyone can afford to pick a daughter, Ehuang Nvying.

Mrs. Jiang had a smile on her lips: "With her status, she can't get a high position in the palace, and she can at most be a concubine in the palace. She still wants me to bow to her? I have a commandment on me, except The royal concubine, who dares to accept my gift?"

Just as she was talking, Wang Momo came in with a brocade box in her hand, "Madam, Third Miss, these are sent by the inspector of the princess' mansion. The princess specially selected a few lonely books to thank the girl for borrowing books."

"The princess has a heart." Mrs. Jiang said with emotion, and then asked: "Where is the person who delivered the things? Is he still outside?"

Wang Momo said: "People from the Princess Mansion refused to stay longer and have already gone back. The slaves sent someone to give a reward of five taels of silver."

Jiang Ning opened the brocade box, and a pleasant aroma of books gushed out. Jiang Ning flipped through, and there were five books in total, all of which were very precious music scores. The cover pages were yellowed, but the paper was clean. good.

Carefully took out one by one, and when he took out the last one, Jiang Ning was surprised to find that there was a neatly stacked paper at the bottom of the brocade box. When he opened it, it was a painting of a woman with lowered eyebrows. Playing the piano, the years are quiet and the time is safe.

Jiang Ning recognized at a glance that it was herself. There were a few lines of small characters on the top of the painting, and she wrote a poem, signed: Congqian.

Congqian is Yang Xun's word.

Jiang Ning blushed with embarrassment, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

Mrs. Jiang was already happy at the side. It seemed that Princess Hui was her daughter's daughter. Seeing Hui Wang's actions, it could be seen how satisfied he was with this marriage.

"Hurry up, ask someone to frame it, and take it with you when you leave the cabinet in the future."
