Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 174 Uncle Wu Is Sick
Her daughter has been sensible since she was a child, and she is the best child among several children. Ning gently touched her daughter's little face, but in the end she cut off the unfinished cake in her hand: "Don't be greedy, it's not easy to restrain."

My daughter is a foodie, and sometimes she eats too much and wanders around the garden in the middle of the night. That is in Anqing Mansion, and no one knows when the door is closed. If she dares to do this in an old house, is there a garden or not The point, the point is that if the old lady finds out, Jiuying will be punished, which is too unladylike.

All right, Jiang Jiuying looked at the chestnut cake again reluctantly, um, next time I eat it in my own room, no one will care.

The Ning family was drawing up a list, and her daughter also wanted to talk about others, and was about to leave the cabinet at an age, so she came here to teach her some ways of managing the family.

Jiang Jiuying saw that the above items were all auspicious objects in pairs, such as filigree dragon and phoenix bracelets inlaid with pearls, Hetian white jade Ruyi, embroidered lotus brocades, there are all kinds of things, some of them are treasures in Ning's small storeroom, and I feel sorry for them. Liao Ran: "Mother, are you going to make a decision for eldest brother?"

"At home, if you want to talk about the ranking, don't call it wrong, or you will be called unruly." Jiang Chengxuan is the eldest son of the third family, and he is the fifth brother in the family, so he has to be called the fifth brother.

"Got it." Jiang Jiuying sticks out her tongue. She is really not used to it. Up to now, she still has some names that don't match up with the faces of the brothers who are not common.

"Which family's girl is the fifth brother?" Ning's actions were quick. She and her second brother had only been out of Beijing for more than a month.

Geng's post has been changed, and the fifth sister-in-law can't escape for sure.

"That's what I liked from the beginning, Min Peiran, the second-in-law granddaughter of Lord Shi Min, the deputy governor of the right." To be honest, this marriage is the Jiang family's favorite.

The right deputy governor, Yushi, is the real power official of Zhengsanpin and the second in command of the Inspectorate.The censor of this dynasty has privileges. No matter who or what is involved in the performance, he can catch wind and shadow, and he does not need to speak conclusively.

Therefore, the censors are all very strong, and all officials avoid them for fear of being too late. Of course, the advantage is that they don't have to worry about being drawn into factional struggles if they get married with their family.

Like before, he fell in a certain direction, and finally lost in the power struggle. The supervisory censor who confiscated his home was unique, and the main reason was that others were not as good as him, and he was rushing to find death as a pawn.

Jiang Wenyuan started from the fifth rank, and he didn't know how many years it would take to get up to the third rank, so he didn't even dare to think about it.

The Ning family knew that her eldest son was a good one, but she was not so careless, thinking that he was worthy of being a real noble daughter of a high-ranking family, so the marriage partners she chose at the beginning were all middle-level officials' families with similar family status as theirs. .

It was the Min family who took the initiative to find Mrs. Ning. It seemed that Mr. Min was very knowledgeable. He had been a guest teacher in the Imperial College several times. He admired Jiang Chengxuan's literary talents and intended to marry his granddaughter.

Who is the Min family?When the eldest granddaughter entered the palace, she was one of the four concubines, a virtuous concubine, and she was quite favored, and the virtuous concubine's empress was absolutely worthy of the title of virtuous, she would not fight or grab her, she was as indifferent as water, and she had a really good temper.

Therefore, the Ning family was a little moved. After discussing with family members and asking acquaintances, she took the initiative to invite a matchmaker and went to Min's house to propose marriage.

Jiang Jiuying couldn't help but secretly thought, saying something that shouldn't be said, I hope that the concubine Xian will not give birth to a prince, otherwise, after decades, there will be no bloody storms.Most of the families that have been implicated in the struggle for imperial power since ancient times died without knowing how they died, and a few had the last laugh, and the price they paid was unimaginable.

Indifferent like water, do not fight or grab?How can a woman who can enter the palace, be the lord of the first palace, live well, and be loved be as simple as it seems on the surface.

But looking at it right now, this is indeed a good relationship, the Min family obviously has a better choice, the eldest daughter is so high-married, the younger sisters below, even if they choose a noble mansion, it is all because of it.

Marry a granddaughter just by admiring talent?Are you sloppy?
Moreover, the marriage between their two families was discussed after the current examination. Jiang Chengxuan did not win the Jinshi. In fact, this time the entire Jiang family failed. They all locked themselves in the room and replayed for a long time, and it was hard to let go.

Obviously, after working so hard to prepare for so long, I thought my knowledge was good enough, but I didn't even make it to the third list at the bottom of the crane. It was a bit of a slap in the face, and it hurt my self-esteem too much.

But Dad also said that he also took three exams before he finally passed high school. Now Jiang Chengxuan is only 19 years old, still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It is quite normal to fail the first time.

After all, all the top talents in the country gathered together, and a mere hundred or so people were selected.

Jiang Chengxuan packed up his mood and went back to the Imperial College to go to school.As for the matter of getting married, he didn't need to express his opinion, and he neither liked nor rejected the girl from the Min family.Like most men of this era, marrying a wife and having children is just a task that must be completed.

Jiang Jiuying thought about it, if she wanted to marry a man she had never met before, she might as well marry Zhao Dongli, what a pity, such a good boy.

"Your father sent someone to spread the word that you won't go back to the house for dinner after leaving the office. The old lady is not feeling well, please forgive me, why don't we mother and daughter eat in the pot?"

"Okay, mother, I want to eat fried tofu skin and white cabbage, ask Mama Zhang to slice the mutton thinner, add some tender fish skin, and make a sesame oil dish."

"Okay, it's up to you."

A table full of food was served, and the mother and daughter didn't call anyone else. They enjoyed it in the room by themselves, and they talked and chatted without having to follow the rules.

"Where's your second brother? Why haven't you seen him recently?"

This second son seemed to be the fifth son's own, and he grew up with the fifth uncle every day, and he was not afraid of being bothered by others.

"The fifth uncle is ill, and the second elder brother is serving the decoction." Jiang Jiuying also went to see it in person. The Ning family has been very busy recently, and the fifth uncle is not seriously ill. When the servants came to tell the time, Jiang Jiuying sent some warmth and supplements on behalf of the third room. The ingredients and medicinal materials in the past.

"Are you seriously ill?"

"I heard that it's an old problem that has accumulated for many years. Uncle Wu has been eating irregularly and has a weak stomach. No, when we first came back, he had a banquet with friends and had a few more glasses of wine. On the way back, he caught wind again. , began to vomit and vomit, and some couldn’t get out of bed.”

"He is really a child who hasn't grown up. It's nothing more than the old lady is always thinking about him. Alas, there is no one in the room who knows the hot and the cold. It's just not possible." Ning's concept is still stuck in the male college. If a female college student should be married, naturally she can't understand Fifth Uncle's maverick.

Jiang Jiuying thinks it's nothing. Marriage should not be a must in life. Two people are good, but one person is also complete. It depends on one's own choice.
