Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 117
Ning's vision is not high, as the eldest daughter-in-law of their family, she must be generous, decent, socially capable, in good health, of high moral character, friendly to siblings, united with sisters-in-law, smart but not particularly shrewd.

As for the family background and so on, as long as they are in the same family as the Jiang family, it is best to read poetry and books so that after marriage, the two can have a common language.

Good wives prosper for three generations, and bad wives destroy three generations, so Ning's family can't help but choose carefully.

No, this morning after greetings, on the way back, Ning said to Jiang Jiuying: "Go back and eat the morning meal and rest for a while, and I will go to Mao's house with my mother later in the afternoon."

"Ah? Mom~~ We have been out as guests for seven consecutive days. Your daughter managed to raise some meat, and more than half of it wasted on the road, and the rest was consumed at other people's homes. Can't you take it easy?"

"You careless little girl, this is for you to choose your sister-in-law. Besides, your second sister is also anxious to see her. The sister-in-law wants to host the middle school and take care of her mother-in-law. She is not as relaxed as I am." If you're free, I won't take you out, who will take you?"

Only the second elder brother and the second sister and a pair of children stayed in Beijing in the second room. Before leaving, the second aunt also begged the grandmother to find a marriage for the second girl. However, the grandmother's temperament rarely went out to socialize, and the people she knew were limited. This time, the three Fang returned to Beijing, these things naturally can't let mother-in-law worry about it anymore.

Jiang Jiuying sighed, a family of women begged, and a family of men stared at it. The news and resources in the marriage and love market are not equal, which is embarrassing enough.

It is impossible to truly know what a person's temperament is just by relying on occasional rumors, unless you see it with your own eyes and try it yourself, in case you are sure that it is bad, you will vomit to death.

Jiang Jiuying pursed her mouth, reluctantly agreed, put on new clothes, and obediently went out with Ning Shi as a guest.

Perhaps her expression was too sad, and Jiang Jiuchen, who was in the carriage with her, couldn't help but smile.

Even if Jiang Jiuying spends the longest time with this second sister among all the Jiang family members during this time, she can still be overwhelmed by her smile. Which future brother-in-law.

"Third sister thinks the capital is fun?" Even the voice of the second sister was a bit cold, even at the end of autumn, it can make people feel as comfortable as spring breeze.

"It's no fun. I go out as guests every day, and I'm so tired that I vomit blood. And most of the girls I met yesterday have more minds than a sieve. They have to think about it seven or eight times before they can say something. You dig a hole, that's easy." Jiang Jiuying couldn't help complaining.

"Don't worry, it's because I went to the fourth aunt's family yesterday. To say something disrespectful to the elders, the fourth aunt is a good person, but her family...has a lot of small things, and it's because they have no vision and no heart. The Mao family will not of."

As a second-rank member of the court, at least the female family members will not be so ignorant, and make the guests feel uncomfortable by putting the differences in their own family on the surface.

This banquet was held in the name of viewing flowers. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows what the meaning of viewing flowers is. All the guests who came to the banquet brought their children of the right age. , did not follow.

As for Jiang Chengfu, Ning didn't have the energy to take care of him, and he came one by one, senior and young in order.

Because of the close relationship with the sister-in-law's family, Ning came very early. For a banquet like this, the better the relationship with the host's family, the earlier the meeting will be. The more mediocre and high-ranking people, the later they will come.

In the capital city where there are so many officials like dogs and dignitaries walk everywhere, Jiang Wenyuan is a mere fifth-rank, which is really not bad.

"Third brother and sister, you are finally here!" Jiang Sirui heard the servant's report, and waited outside the second gate to greet Ning, and when he saw someone coming, he greeted Ning with his arms.

Jiang Wenyuan and Jiang Sirui have the smallest age gap, and they have had the best relationship since they were young. They also have a good relationship with the Ning family, with a bit of intimacy in their enthusiasm.

"People who are going to marry a daughter-in-law, why do you still look like a girl in a boudoir!" Ning looked carefully at Jiang Sirui. She is over forty years old and well-maintained. She looks like she is in her early thirties, and there is no sorrow in her eyes. , full of confidence, you can tell at a glance that these years have been good.

Ning was sincerely happy for this elder sister.After all, the lintel of the Mao family was much higher than that of the Jiang family. She was able to marry into the Mao family because of the honor of the late old man, and at that time the eldest sister's father-in-law, Mao Rong'a, had not yet become a member of the second rank.

Later, the Mao family prospered and the old lady passed away. Jiang Sirui had not given birth to a boy and half a girl three years after entering the house, so the situation became a bit difficult.

Now it seems that she has finally guarded the cloud to see the moon, and no one in the Mao family dares to underestimate her.

Otherwise, as a young son and daughter-in-law, she wouldn't have the face to persuade her sister-in-law to hold a flower viewing banquet for her natal son and daughter at her own home.

The two were telling anecdotes about how they hadn't seen each other for so many years. When they were chatting about the three sticks of incense, Jiang Sirui put down the teacup and waved at Jiang Jiuying: "I was in a hurry to go home for the banquet, so I didn't even give our third girl a meeting gift." , this time my aunt will make up for everything she says."

With Mrs. Cui at the top, who dares to prepare extravagant meeting gifts for the younger generation, they are just small gadgets, but when they arrive at her house, she has the final say. She has never seen these three nieces since they were born. For Ning's sake, she had to make a good kiss.

A female envoy opened the prepared gift box and handed it to Jiang Jiuying. It was a pigeon blood red necklace of excellent quality, the size of a baby's fist, and it was paired with a red gold collar, declaring its high value.

Jiang Jiuying turned to look at Ning Shi, Ning Shi nodded slightly, and then she knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, aunt." She accepted the gift.

"Okay, there are some girls from the Mao family outside, you two go out to play, lest we two old women bore you.

Saluting and leaving with the second sister, Jiang Jiuying let her lead and walked to the back garden.

The second elder sister has some contacts with several sisters of the Mao family, especially the concubine Mao Qian in the aunt's room. The Mao family doesn't know what to think. People ask the kind who are illiterate.

My aunt only gave birth to a brat, she wanted a daughter but she didn't get what she wanted, and Mao's biological daughter was a peaceful person, and she didn't have any trouble with her first wife, so my aunt was somewhat sincere towards this concubine.

Mao Chi was fifteen years old at the time, and he was going to go out at the end of the year.A concubine's daughter is no different than a concubine's daughter, she will usually be married off as soon as she is old, and her aunt chose a Juren for her, with a decent family background, good character, and a good relative.

Mao Qian was very grateful to his aunt, so he got close to the girls of the Jiang family naturally. Today, he knew that there were girls in the Jiang family who were going to go to the house, so he deliberately waited in the back garden, hoping to take good care of them as soon as they came.
