On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

They were an old couple, and Mrs. Jiang was familiar with his temperament. Seeing that he looked good and didn't seem to be feeling unwell, she felt relieved.

The disadvantage of having few offspring is that there are few people who can be useful.

Now that the son and grandson are not at home, Huichun Hall expects the old man to keep an eye on it?
If he was unwell, there would be no one at the hospital to take care of him.

Sensing that he was in a good mood, he deliberately pretended to be annoyed: "What, do you have any objections?"

"Haha, no objection." Seeing the steaming preserved egg and lean meat porridge, Mr. Jiang also sat across from her and told the woman next to him: "Bring me a bowl of porridge too."

After the two of them finished eating, they rinsed their mouths with tea. Seeing that they seemed to have something to say, the mother-in-law withdrew and stayed outside.

Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

Mr. Jiang looked at her solemnly: "I have something to discuss with you."

Mrs. Jiang also became nervous: "You tell me."

"Do you still remember that your grandson wanted to marry the eldest girl of the Xiao family?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "I am not good at forgetting. Of course I still remember that although my grandson is not at home, my daughter-in-law and I have also been looking for a few good girls in private."

She couldn't help but frown when she thought of Mrs. Wu bringing her daughter to the house again and again: "The Wu family is not suitable anyway."

It's not that they dislike Miss Wu, it's that the Wu family likes to stay in the camp, make friends everywhere, and act in a high-profile manner.

Of course, Miss Wu is not outstanding enough in terms of her manners with others or her words.

It didn't impress their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

But the Wu family is the eldest son of County Magistrate Chen, and they don't want to have too much trouble with the Wu family, so the best way is to quietly and privately decide on their grandson's marriage as soon as possible.

When the Wu family asked about it, they could deduce that it was Sun Tzu who took a fancy to him.

Mr. Jiang touched his beard and said, "Since we haven't decided on a girl yet, why not follow Yu'er's wishes and let him marry the eldest girl of the Xiao family?"

"What?" Old Mrs. Jiang suspected that she heard wrongly and asked doubtfully: "Weren't you unwilling before? Why did you change your mind?"

"The eldest girl of the Xiao family is pretty good. She can do a lot of things when she comes in." Mr. Jiang also told what happened when he went to intercept and kill him before: "Looking at Wen Jing, she doesn't panic when things happen. Now she can still take care of a large family. After you come in, you Teach her more so that she can let go of matters at home."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was still reluctant: "That's too different."

"It's hard to buy a good heart." Mr. Jiang sighed solemnly: "Besides, the world is in chaos now, who knows whether Wuning County can continue to be stable."

"If the world is really in chaos, then girls from rich families will only cry when something happens."

"The Xiao family can escape from Yuzhang with their whole family. There are many members of the family, and they can also take in the Lin family sisters. It shows that the Xiao family is capable and is not a person who is unjust for profit."

"Although his family background is a little thin, he is not a person with high ambitions and low abilities."

"Marry a daughter from a high family, marry a daughter-in-law from a low family. We are following the old saying, and we can't be wrong."

But I thought about Lao Hou saying that the Xiao family never spared any jewelry, accessories or silver from the dead or the living.

He had doubts in his heart that the Xiao family would be able to quickly adapt to the troubled times, and maybe they would be able to make a fortune in the troubled times.

Old Mrs. Jiang felt a little conflicted, so she simply blamed her daughter-in-law: "I'm afraid my daughter-in-law and Miss Xiao have nothing to say and won't get along."

"Hey," Mr. Jiang glanced at her sideways: "If you really find someone who can satisfy your daughter-in-law, everything in the inner house will be a mess, and we will die without being able to close our eyes." "Besides, you followed your son's wishes in the first place. , why can’t you bear to prevent your grandson from marrying the girl he likes now?”

Mrs. Jiang was speechless when she thought that her daughter-in-law liked to read, write, and draw.

The daughter-in-law came in. Fortunately, she was not blind yet and could still take care of herself.

But if the grandson-in-law also likes romance like the daughter-in-law, then when she closes her eyes, will it be possible for her son and grandson to take care of the affairs of the back house?
After thinking about it again, Miss Wu is indeed not as outstanding as Miss Xiao. It is only because the Wu family climbed up to County Magistrate Chen that they are now famous.

But they now have a good relationship with County Magistrate Chen, almost like a grasshopper on the line, and there is no need to marry anyone close to Magistrate Chen to consolidate the relationship.

She thought about it again and again, but finally relaxed: "Okay, I will listen to you!"

Things inside are not easy either. The New Year is approaching, and the New Year gifts to be sent out have to be increased or decreased according to the distance between relatives.

As well as the New Year gifts you received, you should also think about them to see which ones can be accepted and which ones cannot be accepted?

Are there other people who are asking for more gifts than in previous years?
Isn’t it contradictory to give fewer New Year gifts? Or something happened to the other person’s family?

Furthermore, the house also had to buy various oils, salts, sauces, vinegars and teas. Although she didn't have to buy them, she still had to order them.

But you can’t just buy it at will. You have to see if there is anything left in the warehouse? How much is left?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang felt dizzy and wished she could get rid of her immediately: "Then when will you go and talk to the Xiao family?"

Even if she felt in her heart, as long as the Xiao family was not stupid, it would be impossible not to agree.

But since she is planning to become in-laws with the Xiao family, she will not do anything to look down on the Xiao family. Why should she step on them?

Before inviting a matchmaker to the door, the elders of both parties should first talk to each other privately and confirm before inviting the matchmaker.

Mr. Jiang also laughed when he heard that she believed in him: "After you tell your daughter-in-law first, I will go to Xiao's house."

At this moment, the tired Jiang Yu strode in from outside. Hearing his grandfather's last words, he quickly asked: "Why are you going to Xiao's house?"

He also wanted to go to Xiao's house. It would be better if he could take the opportunity to say a few words to Xiao Xiu, so he volunteered: "The snow is thick outside and the road is slippery. Grandpa can just ask his grandson to go for a walk if he has something to do."

When Mrs. Jiang heard her grandson's words, she felt a little confused.

Although she had previously agreed to the marriage between her grandson and Xiao Xiu, her grandson had just entered the house and had not even greeted them, so he was only thinking about going to Xiao's house.

Mr. Jiang didn't take it seriously and smiled deliberately: "Of course you are going to discuss your marriage with the Xiao family?"

Jiang Yu was so shocked that he suspected that he was still dreaming, and subconsciously asked: "Can such a good thing happen? Am I really not dreaming?"

Mr. Jiang gave a kind suggestion: "If you want to know if you are dreaming, bite your tongue and see if it hurts. Then you will know."

Jiang Yu was really obedient and bit his tongue. It hurt so much that he was about to burst into tears.

Seeing her grandson's stupidity, Mrs. Jiang, who wanted to curse, choked on her saliva and couldn't help coughing.

Jiang Yu also reacted and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted them, smiling from ear to ear: "Thank you, grandfather, and thank you, grandmother, for helping your grandson."

Old Mrs. Jiang deliberately found something for him: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if we agree, you still have to get your mother to agree before your grandfather can go to Xiao's house to say something."
