Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 5 No tricks?

Jiang Jiuying believed in her heart that there was something wrong with the youngest son of Marquis Yong'an, but seeing Ning Shi who was excitedly considering how to pack her dowry, she swallowed her words of persuasion.

If you don't find some evidence that this man is wrong, how can you persuade him with empty words?

The ancient news was blocked, and they wanted to inquire from the capital, but they couldn't solve the near fire. Jiang Jiuying rolled his eyes and focused his idea on her second brother.

Jiang Chengfu, a sophomore in middle school, loves to watch both handsome men and beautiful women. According to Ning, she had already met Yuan Lizhang from Zhilan Yushu by the side of Mrs. Yong'an Hou before.

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, tall and straight figure, and rare clear eyesight, he is definitely not a person who indulges in wine and sex.

It's better to ask the second brother to come forward, and she will go and see it disguised as a man.A fake has to be a fake, so I don't believe it. She went out in person, so she couldn't see what was wrong with Yuan Lizhang!
The top priority is to persuade Ning Shi, but don't make a foolish engagement before she finds out something!

You must know that in ancient times, the engagement letter had to be sent to the government for filing, so it was easy to ruin it, and no matter what reason the engagement was terminated, the woman always suffered more rumors.

No matter how dazed the Ning family was by the gold-lettered signboard of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, it is impossible for the Ning family to rush to accept this marriage for their daughter without even seeing the most basic character of a person.

You have to know how much effort she had to resist the urge to agree on the spot. The woman's family has to be reserved, so she pushed back to discuss with her husband, and then returned to the main room eagerly, waiting for Jiang Wenyuan to return home.

It's a pity that Jiang Wenyuan didn't return home due to the busy work of the yamen for several days in a row. She had no one to confide in, and it made her feel uncomfortable. People, inquire around and inquire about the affairs of Yong'anhou's mansion.

Today just in time for my daughter to come over to say hello, I couldn't hold back for a while, so I showed my words in front of her daughter.She didn't know that her abnormality these days had already made her daughter guess all kinds of things.

From Ning's point of view, although the parents' order and the matchmaker's words are all that is needed for major marriage matters, generally the man and the woman involved do not need to have an emotional foundation, and it doesn't matter whether they agree or not.

But the Jiang family has a simple population, and their way of educating their children is strict for men and lenient for women. In the future, a man will have to set up a household and support his wife and children.The daughter tried her best to follow her wishes.

In fact, the lives of the ladies in ancient times were not easy at all. When they were young, they had to learn cultural knowledge such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

If you are older, you must learn the housekeeping strategy and the way of controlling the servants, so that you can preside over the gift after you get married.

In fact, Jiang Jiuying didn't want to learn any of them.She made good friends with Pan Jiaxin, the seventh girl of the same acquaintance, who was one year older than her, and she had already settled down with her, and she would be out of the cabinet in two years.

Pan Jiaxin is considered to be a high-married man, the man is a famous family name, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, no matter what else, the family rules are at most, she is now learning the rules from the mother who was specially sent by her husband's family, and she can't easily walk out of the house, Jiang Jiuying has already I haven't seen her for nearly three months, and only communicated with her through letters.

The letter was full of blood and tears, how to walk, how to sit, how to eat, and even how to cry, you have to learn it all over again!
Jiang Jiuying shuddered, and vowed that she would never marry Qiwang!

She never thought about marrying high and suffering, she just wanted her parents to choose a husband with a simple family background, who would be a petty official, and it would be better if there was a clan rule in the family that one must be over 35 and have no children to take concubines .

So in terms of rules, her requirement is to be able to meet people, to act like a lady in front of outsiders, and not to lose the face of her parents.When there are no outsiders, firmly adhere to the principle of never standing when you can sit, and never sitting when you can lie down!
Knowing her daughter's lazy nature, Ning once doubted her life.She is a real lady, and her upbringing is deeply rooted in her bones. Jiang Wenyuan is also a gentleman, no one will follow how she raises a daughter.

But there is no way, no matter how much you try to straighten your daughter, it is useless, and in the end you are also taken into the ditch. When there are no outsiders, you wear the Gebu home clothes respected by your daughter, paired with sheepskin-bottomed and silk-topped slippers, lying crooked on the beauty's couch Eat fruit on the table, and let a slick female messenger tell stories.

She has a feeling that she has lived in vain for the past 30 years, this is called life!Sure enough, the glamor on the outside is for others to see, but at home, you have to be as comfortable as possible.

The whole family followed suit, home clothes were soft and close-fitting, who would be patient to wear those big clothes that wrinkled when sitting, silk and delicate things.

"Mom, I'm going to find my second brother first. He promised to take me to Yuebinlou to eat stewed delicacies! The weather is fine today, so I have to let him cash it out!"

"Go, go." Ning has a lot of work to do. From the time Ying'er landed to the present, she hasn't counted the dowry she saved. No matter whether this marriage is successful or not, it's time to pull out the list first. up.

"Second brother, second brother, help the Jianghu!" Jiang Jiuying felt the wind under his feet, and there was no sound from the ring around his waist, but the speed was not slow, and he rushed into the Canglu courtyard with a cup of tea, and couldn't help calling for people when he opened the door.

Jiang Chengfu was drawing a picture of the beauties he had seen yesterday in front of the table, when he suddenly heard his sister yelping, and paused while writing, a large blot of ink appeared on the beauty's forehead, the beauty became unsalted, it was horrible.

Grinning his teeth, he crumpled up the painting that was about to be painted, threw it into the paper bean at his feet, glared at his servant Chen Pi, and destroyed his good painting without saying anything first.

Chen Pi shrunk his neck, who knew that the girl walked so fast, before he had time, someone had already entered the room.

"Why are you free to come to Second Brother's yard today?"

"Second brother! Your sister and I will be sold by my mother soon, and she has to help count the money!"

Jiang Chengfu sneered: "Mum, even if she sells me, she won't sell you. I have something to talk about, and I have to draw if I have nothing to do!"

The new handsome guy in the mansion looked seductive, and he wanted to draw a picture when his hands were itchy.

"Brother, mother wants to marry me off."

"You can do it, or I'll tell my mother now!"

Jiang Erlang choked, you are really my sister!

"Brother, with my face, do you think it's normal for that high-ranking Mrs. Hou to want to get married as soon as they meet?" It's really not normal: "What do you want me to do?" I want to get in touch with this young master Yuan!"

Today, Young Master Yuan has gone out of the house, and Jiang Chengfu got the news early in the morning.

Jiang Jiuying immediately went back to her room and changed into men's clothes, and she also had to leave the house.

She is not very old, and her body has not yet begun to develop. It is the time when she is indistinguishable from male and female. As long as she speaks with a low voice, people who are not familiar with her will not be able to tell that she is a girl.

The most urgent thing is where to go after leaving the mansion, that young master, since Mrs. Hou's health improved, he took his own servant out of the mansion every now and then, no one dared to ask what he was going to do.

Long nights and many dreams, time is precious!
Because Jiang Jiuying didn't know how to ride a horse, the brother and sister neither led a horse nor sat in a sedan chair, and Shi Shiran went out with two servants alone.

The atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty was open, and the oppression of women was not as severe as that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Women can be seen everywhere in the streets to make a living, and there are noble women sitting and chatting in teahouses and restaurants.Cooperating with all kinds of antique and pure ancient buildings on both sides of the upper street, a picture of ancient life comes to us.
