The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 132 Jiang Youchen's Marriage
In the early morning of the second day, Li Ling got up early to prepare for his journey, and Jing Shu also got up to help him tidy up.

The two packed up and went out, and the uncle's family got up early to send Li Ling on his way.

All the officers and men under Li Ling's command were put in posthouses, and only Liang entered the river mansion early in the morning to meet Li Ling.

Li Ling bid farewell to Jiang's family politely, and before leaving, he stood in front of his wife and whispered: "You wait for me here, I will write."

Jing Shu promised: "Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you in Chaozhou. Take care of yourself and come back early after finishing your errands."

In front of everyone, although the young couple were inseparable, they did not reveal much.

Li Ling got on his horse, turned his head to look deeply at his wife, and then he and Liang Jin headed towards the posthouse.

After Li Ling was sent away, Jiang Zhao and his eldest son Jiang You'an also went to the yamen to be on duty.

Jiang Youchen followed everyone back to the mansion, and said to his mother: "Mother, I plan to go to Mount Heng to find the legendary miracle doctor today."

Tian sighed, and said: "If you insist on going, Mother will not stop you, but the road to Mount Heng is difficult, you have to be more careful."

Jiang Youchen comforted Tian Shi and said: "Mother, don't worry, the child will go and come back quickly."

Seeing Tian's sad face, Jiang Youchen looked at Jingshu at the side gently, and said with a smile: "I'm going to Hengshan to do some errands, please trouble my cousin to spend more time with mother on my behalf."

Tian didn't want her son to worry about her, so she suppressed her worries and said to her son, "I am happy to have Shu'er here, so you can rest assured, don't worry about it."

Although Jing Shu didn't know why her cousin was going to Hengshan, she didn't want to ask too many questions right now, she just echoed Jiang Youchen and said, "Cousin don't worry, go get busy. I haven't seen my aunt for many years, so I just want to talk in detail."

Jiang Youchen said to Jingshu in a gentle and gentle manner: "I remember that you used to love to sit on the swing in the back garden and read the story books. Yesterday I ordered someone to re-install the swing in the back garden, and I also found a lot of story books for you. Come on, after a while, I will order the girls to send you there to relieve boredom."

Jing Shu thanked her with a smile, Tian urged her son, "It's getting late, since you're going today, hurry up and get on the road."

Chang Sui led the horse, Jiang Youchen agreed and got on the horse, said goodbye to his mother and Jing Shu, and then rode out.

Tian stood at the door until her son's tall and handsome back disappeared from sight, then she sighed and led Jingshu back to the yard.

After entering the house, Jing Shu saw her aunt's frowning look, and guessed that it was because of Jiang Youchen, she tentatively asked, "Why is cousin going to Hengshan?"

Tian couldn't help sighing again, and said to his niece: "Didn't you arrange a marriage for your cousin Chen last year?"

Jing Shu nodded and said, "My uncle mentioned this in his family letter to my father last year, but I don't know which girl he ordered?"

When mentioning this marriage, Tian felt aggrieved: "The one I ordered is the youngest daughter of Yuan Zhou's family, named Zhou Yuzhi."

Zhou Yuanwai is also a celebrity in Chaozhou. His family has been merchants for generations, and he can be said to be a wealthy party.

It's just that in this world, no matter how rich a businessman is, his status is low compared to the gentry, and the gentry rarely intermarries with merchants.

A young talent like Jiang Youchen wants to marry a merchant's daughter as his wife?

After hearing Tian's words, even Ziyun, who was standing by the side, couldn't help crying for the third young master, she muttered in a low voice: "Why are you doing well, going to marry the Zhou family?"

Jing Shu naturally felt sorry for her cousin, but since her uncle and aunt agreed to this marriage, there must be a lot of content in it, she asked tentatively: "Could it be that Zhou's daughter is beautiful and intelligent, which makes my cousin very happy?"

Tian said leisurely: "Until now your cousin has never seen the face of the Zhou family's daughter, how can you say that you are satisfied or not?"

She sighed, and told Jingshu the reason for marrying Zhou's family: "In the past two years, Chaozhou has suffered from natural disasters, and the rich and powerful are vying to enclose land. Paying grain tax, but the imperial court's tax is as heavy as every year, and there is no delay. Your uncle is also so worried that he has no choice, so he married the rich Zhou family, in order to let the Zhou family pay money to relieve Chaozhou urgent need."

"Hey! I just hurt your cousin."

This is indeed unfair to the cousin, but the children of the family, how many marriages can be decided by themselves, relying on marriage to consolidate the family power or solve the family crisis, such things are common and not surprising.

Now that things have happened, Jing Shu has no choice but to pick up nice words to comfort her aunt: "Although the Zhou family is a family of merchants, they are also a prominent family in Chaozhou. I think this week's girl is also a person who knows how to read and understand etiquette. When she gets married in the future, she will make my aunt feel happy." I'm happy with my cousin."

Tian said with a wry smile: "I've also inquired. This week's youngest daughter is indeed a good girl. It's a pity that she fell ill just a few days after the engagement."

Jing Shu asked in surprise: "Ill? Is it serious?"

Tian said with a sad face: "Hey! This child has been ill since the beginning of winter last year. Zhou's family has invited famous doctors all over, but no matter how they are treated, it doesn't get better. After the new year, he can't even get up."

"Your cousin heard that there is a famous doctor in Hengshan a few days ago, and Yunyou just came back. No, he went to find the doctor for that Zhou family girl early in the morning."

If it was an ordinary person who had never met her in person and whose background was extremely inappropriate, if the other party became ill like this, I'm afraid she would wish for her death.

Anyway, the family's urgent need has been solved, and her reputation will not be damaged if she dies before passing the door.

However, Jiang Youchen is so concerned about this fiancée who has never met.

Jing Shu heard the words and said silently: "Brother Chen is really a responsible person."

Jiang Youchen is the most outstanding of the three brothers, even in the whole Chaozhou, there is no one who does not know Jiang Sanlang's reputation.

Naturally, Tian is very pleased to have such a son. Now that his son's marriage is not going well, she is very anxious: "Your cousin is such a person, hey! Sometimes as a mother, I really hope that he is like others. Boys are less affectionate."

Jing Shu was chatting with her aunt about the household chores, and her eldest cousin, Mrs. Zhang, brought several nephews and nieces into the house.

Uncle Jingshu has three sons in total. The eldest son has two sons and a daughter. The second son was unfortunately killed when he set out many years ago, leaving only one son.

The eldest grandson of Jiang is now eleven years old. The second grandson left by the late Erlang is the same age as the youngest grandson, who is nine years old, and the youngest granddaughter is also seven years old.

Jing Shu hurriedly stood up and greeted her cousin, and the sorrow on Tian's face disappeared when she saw her grandson and granddaughter.

Jingshu asked Ziyun to distribute the prepared red envelopes to the children. Yesterday, she was only busy talking to adults, and Jingshu didn't have time to look at these nephews and nieces in detail in the future.

She happily looked at this nephew and then at that niece. The Jiang family was born with good looks, the eldest nephew Ning Geer was born as heroic as his eldest cousin, and the second nephew Xuan brother was also as heroic as the late The second cousin looks alike, while the younger nephew, Yu Geer, follows his mother and looks pretty.

Looking at her little niece Fu, Jing Shu liked her even more. The little girl was born with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, just like a little beauty.

Jing Shu's appearance resembled her mother's Jiang family, and her young niece also joined the Jiang family. One could tell by their looks that they were the aunt and niece.
