Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 177 Good Reputation

"Miss, I want to go back to the Duke's mansion and ask my parents what they want."

Zhiqiu's father and mother were still on duty at the Duke's Mansion. Even if they came with Tang Bingxuan as a dowry, they really needed to be asked about their intentions about the wedding.

"Okay, then you can tell your parents about the situation of the other four people. If that doesn't work, it would be a good idea to take a look at the other people."

The three eldest maids talked about the same thing, and Zhidong was the only one left.

"Miss, I don't know how to choose people. I just listen to the lady."

Zhidong feels that his young lady has always had good taste. If she feels good about it, then she will definitely have a good life after marrying him.

Ever since Tang Bingxuan supported Zhidong in developing and expanding the family's traditional craftsmanship, Zhidong has become Tang Bingxuan's little fangirl who is the most clueless among the four.

"No, please also tell us about the remaining four people and see what your parents mean."

Tang Bingxuan didn't want to decide on the candidate herself, and then they would become a bitter couple. It would still depend on what they and their family wanted.

Zhiqiu and Zhidong consulted their parents' opinions respectively. Zhiqiu chose Wang He, the nephew of the second housekeeper, to get married, but Zhidong had no choice yet.

Tang Bingxuan specifically talked to Zhixia, but Zhixia was very determined to marry Jiang Ming;
Fortunately, Jiang Ming knew the basics, and their personalities were complementary. Tang Bingxuan thought it would be good for them to combine.

In this way, the marriages of three of the four eldest girls can be settled. Zhidong is the youngest, so Tang Bingxuan feels that she can look at it later.

Zhichun and Zhixia were not young, and Jiang Qi and Jiang Ming were also in trouble with Jiang Shunian. Tang Bingxuan decided to let them celebrate the wedding together on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

As for Zhiqiu and Wang He, the nephew of the second housekeeper, they are engaged first, and their marriage is scheduled for March 18th next year.

Tang Bingxuan's dowry for the eldest maid was two hundred taels of silver in a box, six tons of dowry. It was considered an extremely decent dowry, and made the little maids in the three-bedroom courtyard envious.

Jiang Qi and Jiang Ming grew up with Jiang Shunian. They learned to read and practice martial arts together, and they have a deep friendship;

Now they are getting married on the same day, but it is a different wedding night.

Jiang Qi and Zhichun are considered to be in love with each other. They have a certain foundation of relationship, so it is natural for them to fall in love;

As for Zhixia and Jiang Ming, they got married because of a deal. Their wedding night was spent on one bed and the other on the floor.

Jiang Ming, who was sleeping on the ground, didn't know why he fell in love with such a cold girl like Zhixia, and even resorted to tricks to get married to her.

Although he made the deal with Zhixia in order to win the beauty back, every time Jiang Mingtao came close to Zhixia for more than a month before the marriage, he was turned away by Zhixia's alienation and coldness.

Jiang Shunian and Tang Bingxuan felt that they could get along well with each other because of their complementary personalities, but they didn't know that Jiang Ming had to take the initiative and stalk him to have a chance to get close to Zhixia;
Jiang Ming, who had many clever ideas and was good at talking, fell into the trap of Zhi Xia, an iceberg beauty with incredible martial arts.

Jiang Ming, who was lying on the floor on his wedding night, couldn't sleep. He turned around several times in annoyance, "Zhixia, are you asleep?"

Zhixia was lying on the wedding bed, covered with the newlywed's red quilt, as quietly as if she was fast asleep.

Jiang Ming gently approached the edge of the bed, and before he could pull the quilt away and get on the bed, Zhixia kicked him aside;
Regarding Zhixia's martial arts, Jiang Ming had only heard of it but never seen it, but he had always been cautious and cautious;
He used some force to slow down his legs, so that he was not kicked into a crotch by the bride Zhixia.

Zhixia didn't even get up, and said calmly: "Sleep on your own bedding, and don't go near the bed." From Zhixia's kick, Jiang Ming roughly guessed the level of the two's martial arts. He didn't dare to provoke Zhixia anymore, and continued to sleep obediently. on the ground.

Since Jiang Ming proposed to get married to Zhixia, he was somewhat confident and decided to adopt the strategy of boiling the frog in warm water with Zhixia.

Although it may take longer, Jiang Ming feels that it is worth it!
He was an orphan to begin with. He had no parents to urge his children, and he had plenty of time to spend time with Zhixia. Even if it lasted a lifetime, he was happy with it.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Tian went into labor and gave birth to a girl named Li Jiao.

Mrs. Chen, the uncle of Changping, sent her mother to the Yongning Hou Mansion to announce the good news. Mrs. Qiao, out of sympathy, took Aunt Zhao to the uncle of Changping to visit Jiang Tian.

The three sisters-in-law, Xiao, Mei and Tang Bingxuan, were all taking care of their children at home, and no one went to join in the fun.

It just so happened that today was the day when Zhichun and Zhixia returned from their three dynasties. Zhichun and Jiang Qilai kowtowed to Jiang Shunian and Tang Bingxuan and offered tea, and then rushed to the Yue family in the Rongguo Palace;

Zhixia was an orphan, and her natal family was Tang Bingxuan's home, so she followed Jiang Ming to the inner courtyard of Sanfang and returned home.

Tang Bingxuan was well versed in medical science and body structure. Seeing that Zhixia still looked like a girl when she walked, she couldn't help but feel speechless towards Jiang Ming and Zhixia, a newlywed couple.

The reason why the two of them are so determined to get married is just to fool everyone into going through the motions, not taking their heart seriously.

However, since the two got married not long ago, Tang Bingxuan couldn't say much, so she tried her best to tell Zhixia to be nice to Jiang Ming.

It can be seen from the interaction between the two that Jiang Ming is obviously the one who takes the initiative, while Zhixia only passively accepts.

"Miss, don't worry, slave, don't worry."

It's not that Zhixia can't see Jiang Ming's affection for her, it's just that she is still waiting and watching.

Protecting Tang Bingxuan has been her mission and obsession since childhood. Now even though she is married to Jiang Ming, the most important person is still Tang Bingxuan.

Since Zhixia agreed to marry Jiang Ming, she was prepared for many possibilities, including having children for Jiang Ming, but it was not the time yet.

Zhi Xia doesn't like to talk but is like a mirror in her heart. Jiang Ming wants to marry her but uses transaction as an excuse;

Of course, when Jiang Ming started to say this, Zhixia was indeed moved, and getting married would not delay the task of protecting the young lady.

Being used to seeing Jiang Shunian and Tang Bingxuan getting along, Zhixia would sometimes have wishes, but she never showed them.

The two of them used their partners as mission guides. If Tang Bingxuan knew the reason, she would definitely feel that the two of them are so matched.

There was little snow last year, and this year, there was indeed varying degrees of drought in various parts of the north. All prefectures began to set up tents and provide porridge to the poor people who had been displaced to Kyoto.

Fortunately, it snowed heavily before winter this year. Tang Bingxuan held the children in her arms and looked through the window at the vast expanse of white outside. She must have thought that next year would be a good harvest year.

This year, the grain supply in Tang Bingxuan's village was obviously 30% lower than in previous years. Tang Bingxuan specifically reduced the tenants' rent by 40%, so that the farmers in the village could have a full year.

As a result, there was not enough grain to make wine this year, so Tang Bingxuan had to buy a batch of grain from the south at a high price to alleviate the food crisis.

This time, the porridge shacks were set up under the initiative and supervision of the Crown Princess Pingyu. People from the East Palace would check the porridge shacks in each government from time to time to prevent anyone from passing off the good ones and eating into the stomachs of the victims.
