Jiapingguan Chronicle

Shen Haolin and Jin Jing put all the watermelon rinds on the table into a large plate, wiped the table clean with a handkerchief, and put on the high-quality tea and tea sets sent by Second Master Jiang.

Hearing Shen Cha's words, Jin Jing paused a little while fiddling with the tea set, and smiled at her.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Jin Jing's strange smile, Shen Cha was puzzled, "Is what I said wrong?"

"There is nothing wrong, the meaning is right, but it is difficult to achieve, not particularly easy. Not all families value girls, and most people still think that even if a girl is a bit talented, she still has to marry Yes, after all, it belongs to someone else's family, so you can't casually make wedding clothes for others. Of course, those big clans don't care, but they don't care as much as raising boys, as long as it makes sense." Jin Jing With a sneer, seeing the two girls glaring, he quickly waved his hands, "Don't look at me like that, you two, this is not what I think."

"Of course we know that's not what you mean." Shen Cha shook his head helplessly, "This is what most people in the world think, not just scholars, and not just clans, but they are all the same. Although we can't do it Change the minds of these people, but we can make ourselves not follow the crowd, not care what other people think, and not care what other people think."

"That's right." Shen Haolin nodded, looked at Xue Ruitian, and waved, "Stop standing there, come and sit down and talk."

Xue Ruitian threw the charcoal pencil in his hand on the small table next to him, walked over yawning, and sat beside Jin Jing, watching him make tea for everyone.

"I've also heard about the Lu family. As a big clan with a century-old foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, the Lu family naturally has a wider vision than other clans with a lesser background. They see and think long-term. Their family values ​​it more. Cultivate girls, do you know why?" Seeing other people shaking their heads, Shen Haolin slightly raised his eyebrows, "Because their family had three empresses and two noble concubines, and they all had the experience of listening to politics behind a curtain, and they all had very dazzling Political achievements are not nonsense, but are very beneficial to the country and the people."

"That's really amazing. These girls are all amazing, but are their children emperors? Not all of them, right?"

"I have my own children, as well as the children of other concubines. Since they are behind the curtain, they must be assisting the emperor." Shen Haolin smiled, "On the other hand, the young masters and sons of the Lu family are only a little short, let alone assisting the emperor. The third rank is already the highest. However, the Lu family is not a family that is eager for quick success. They are not very anxious about their official career. Compared with other big clans, they do not react very strongly to the fact that the clan cannot take the imperial examination .”

"More than that." Xue Ruitian added, "If I remember correctly, the heads of the Lu family in the past were all women. Until now, even though the Lu family has fallen into ruin, they are still headed by women, and they still continue the previous tradition. "

"The Lu family is okay now?"

"The population is not that prosperous, and the power is not that great, but life should be much more comfortable than before."

"You still pay attention to the Lu family?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Xue Ruitian curiously, "Your Majesty wants the Lu family very much?"

"Yeah!" Xue Ruitian nodded, "Your Majesty is not yet married, so it's understandable to pay attention to such a family, isn't it?" He waved his hand, "I let you lead me away again, so let's continue talking about Miss Lu and Ning Changguo's family." Let’s go! The Lu family has a tradition, they highly recommend that the sons and daughters of the family go out and travel, they think this will broaden their horizons and help these children’s future choices.”

"So, Miss Lu met Ningchang Kingdom during her travels?"

"Almost!" Xue Ruitian went through the timeline in his mind, "The county where Ningchang State went to work is actually on the edge of Changzhou Mansion. Miss Lu's elder brother is the classmate of Ning Chang State. According to the order of the elders, before going to the post, take my younger sister to travel around, and their first stop is the county where Ningchang Kingdom is located."

"So that's how these two people met." Shen Cha nodded, "What happened next?"

"I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that Miss Lu and Ning Changguo had poems, essays, and lake tours a few times, and she was deeply impressed. She felt that Ningchangguo was very talented." Xue Ruitian saw Shen Tea and Jin Miaomiao looked disgusted, and he was a little dumbfounded, "Don't be so disgusted, okay? He is also a number one scholar after all, and outstanding literary talents are not taken for granted. What is there to dislike?"

"Although their family backgrounds are well matched, they always feel that a girl like Mrs. Ning is not worthy of Ningchang Kingdom." Jin Miaomiao rolled her eyes, "You said, why was she so easily attracted by Ningchang Kingdom? Later she was not I followed my elder brother to see the great rivers and mountains, didn’t I go on a tour? Why didn’t I meet someone more suitable than Ningchang Kingdom?”

"Then I don't know." Xue Ruitian shook his head lightly, "Anyway, after another three or two years, the two families officially got married, and another year passed, which is the end of the year when Ningchang was transferred back to Xijing , Ning Changguo and Miss Lu's family got married, and Miss Lu's family officially became Mrs. Ning."

"I have a question!" Shen Cha raised her hand, "Did Mrs. Ning know about Miss Wang's existence before she got married? Ning Chang Kingdom wouldn't lie to her, would it?"

"I don't know." Xue Ruitian shook his head gently, "I really don't know about this. I only had contact with Mrs. Ning once or twice, so it's not easy to ask about other people's affairs, but according to the directory that was later confiscated, there are still family members The confession should be that no one has ever mentioned Miss Wang's family."

"Let's just say that Ning Changguo is not a good person." Jin Miaomiao rolled his eyes again, "Damn it for lying to Mrs. Ning for so many years, it should be cut to pieces!"

"Actually, not telling is the most correct choice." Shen Cha smiled at Jin Miaomiao and said, "Miss Wang's family should have been forgotten by him, anyway, Miss Wang's family will not go to Xijing City to poke him, no It will disrupt his life, and he will not disturb the life of Miss Wang's family. The two of them have achieved a real well. Similarly, Miss Wang's family didn't take him seriously, didn't take him seriously, just Live your own life in Chaozhou. Therefore, not to mention is the best protection, if you tell, even the royal family of Songjiang Mansion will be implicated."

"Well, I still agree with Xiaocha's statement." Xue Ruitian nodded, "If you say so, Xiaojue can't pretend to be confused and sell a favor to the Wang family."

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Jin Jing tsk tsk twice, shook her head, and complained to Shen Haolin, "Did you hear that, the abacus is crackling, every step is a clear business!"

"It's a business we can make money without losing money!"
