Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 2
Let’s talk about this flat capital:
Jiang Jiuying's father in this life, the eldest son of the third branch of the Jiang family, named Jiang Wenyuan, is currently the general judge of Anqing Mansion, and he is thirty-nine years old.

Having been an official for nearly fifteen years, to be able to sit on the position of the sixth rank, in addition to the efforts of the Jiang family's family, he must also have some talents for managing the world.

If there is no accident, after one more term, you can return to Beijing to report on your work and find an official in Beijing. As long as you are steadfast and don't make too many mistakes, you will be able to be an official for another 30 years.

The Jiang family is a respectable and scholarly family, a family of officials and eunuchs.Although the number of people in each generation is not very prosperous, and the number of people who have served as officials is small, they have never been interrupted. Three generations ago, ZTE was ushered in.

It has been more than 140 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After six generations of emperors, the founding emperor was an amazingly talented person.

Jiuying's great-grandfather is a first-rank official, and has been the prince and tutor for several years, so he has a bit of a mentor-student relationship in the current official family.

Although his old man drove west of Hexi more than ten years ago, and no one in the Jiang family has been promoted to the third rank, no matter whether it is still occasionally remembered today, or the family heritage of the past hundred years is enough to make the Jiang family at least Three generations of descendants lived comfortably.

As for Jiang Jiuying's mother Ning, she was born in Xinglin.My grandfather used to work in the imperial hospital, and made some achievements in children's pathology. He survived in the palace for several years in peace, and returned home five years ago when he was sick. He left the capital and retired.

The direct branch of the Ning family practiced medicine, and the commoner branch sold medicine, earning both fame and fortune.

Therefore, Jiang Wenyuan's own small family lived a more nourishing life.

Most of the Jiang family's family property is sacrificial land, and the clan power prevailed in the ancients, and they often lived in clusters, and they would not easily separate families.

Jiang Wenyuan's family property is not much from the family, and this dynasty pursues high salary to support honesty, the monthly salary of the sixth grade is 45 taels, and there are also various types of ice and charcoal, cloth and silk fine grains, and there are many types. Converted into RMB, the monthly income is [-] Come ten thousand.

Silver in this era is valuable, and its purchasing power is leveraged.One penny of chicken, a few coppers of seasonal vegetables can meet the needs of the whole family, and the common staple food of later generations, cooking cakes, can buy two for one penny.

Not to mention the small population of their family, the total number of masters from top to bottom is only five, even if there are twice as many, they can still support them with Jiang's father's salary.

Of course, there is no pressure to eat and wear ordinary goods, and you have to rely on the Ning family if you want to eat like a bell.

Don't look at the noble hospital, but the Ning family is tight with money. The concubine can do business with peace of mind and earn a lot of money, and he can't do without the support of the prostitute. financial support.As the saying goes, the same spirit connects the branches, one prospers and all prospers, one loses and all loses.

My grandfather didn't have many heirs, he only had one son and one daughter, so he was not stingy when his daughter got married.If it weren't for the rules of etiquette, a woman's dowry should not exceed 120 eight lifts at most, so it is impossible to give half of her net worth to her daughter.

Ning's 120-eight loads of dowry were not mixed with any water, and the boxes used were all deep and thick rosewood, each load was so full that it was impossible to insert hands.It is said that on the day of the personal welcome, the sweat on the head of the porter who carried the dowry never broke.

Jiang Wenyuan and the Ning family haven't blushed for more than ten years, and there are no concubines in the family to obstruct the eyes. Who will spend the money in their hands if they don't give it to their children?Although a woman's dowry is her own private property and her husband's family is not allowed to use it, but when it is used on her own children, Ning is very happy to use it and will not be soft-hearted.

Rich clothing and fine food, pampered and spoiled.The phrases she had seen in the Dream of the Red Chamber had become her real life one by one, pearls were like earth and gold was like iron.

Who can stand this?In such a lavish life, her two older brothers plus a dude who was not brought up by her are definitely the reliable genes of the Jiang family, and the ancestral grave was buried well!

So eating, drinking and having fun in the magnificent home completely made our hero policewoman playful, and those great ideas she just passed were ruthlessly thrown behind her.

Because of the dream at first, Jiang Jiuying struggled between half-dream and half-awake, but did not wake up. Fortunately, it was late at night, and the powerful biological clock dragged her into a deep sleep, and she woke up the next day feeling refreshed.

It is a rule to be careful with elders. Even if Ning spoils her daughter, after all, her upbringing has been engraved into her bone marrow for more than 30 years.

Of course, she also turned a blind eye to her daughter's laziness in rainy and snowy days, and the things she didn't like to learn, fishing for three days and paddling with nets for two days.

The daughter's time in her mother's house is short, how can it be so light when married, it is naturally more painful.

When it comes to getting married, Jiang Jiuying frowned. After 13 years here, she finally had her first worry.

In this cheating ancient times, everything is good, but there is one thing, a woman is fifteen, she chooses a date to marry, and if she does not marry at twenty, the whole family is convicted and sentenced to a fine.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and it is not that there have been strange women who are mavericks in this dynasty.

What is a businesswoman who swears not to marry for life and takes care of her own house;

A nun who guards the family and is too lazy to be rejected by others, escapes into the Buddhist door, obtains the Tao, and goes to the palace to lecture on scriptures and practice Zen;

He is so proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that he can be called a master, an art master who has transcended gender.

The three-no girls who have no problems, no strength, and no achievements, all follow the trend to marry and have children.

Unfortunately, Jiang Jiuying belongs to the list of the three noes now, and she is still a big girl who is not far from her age.

Anqing Mansion is a small place. Among the more than [-] mansions in the [-]th Dao of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no mountain or dew.

The victory lies in stability, no major achievements, and no major problems. It is very suitable for Jiang Wenyuan who wants to get some local qualifications to get promoted.

In the past, the Ning family never thought of getting married locally.After all, they want to return to the capital, and they can't be reunited with each other in the capital and love each other, leaving only one daughter alone. Although it is not a poor place, it is still far away, and it takes more than a month for a carriage to go back and forth. .

But there are few who are willing to be the mother of a child.

Jiang Jiuying didn't care about it, she just wanted to find someone to live with, and if she could live together, it's not impossible to marry first and then love, anyway, the old soul under her teenage body has tender grass to eat, so it's not bad .

If it's really a mismatch, or if the future husband is lustful, she is really not a soft persimmon, and there is always a way to train him, or if it doesn't work, it's okay to be a widow after death.

For her own dowry, not only Ning Shi has been collecting since she was a child, but also her father and two elder brothers who are serious in front of people, also want to give her something good when they see it.There is food and drink, no need to wait on men, and there is always something inside when the door is closed.
