Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 37 Visiting at the door
Yuan Sheng looked at his brother's show off and showed off his cuteness, and curled his lips calmly. I'm the same age as him, and I could squat for a stick of incense a few days ago, but I don't show off like him.

"Oh, our brother Hao is so awesome! We need to eat more." The wife really likes Yuan Hao, who is sweet-tongued and can act cute.

"Grandma, grandma, I have been able to hold one stick of incense for a long time. In a few days, I can hold two sticks of incense." Tang Wenhong was not willing to be outdone.

The twin brothers of the Yuan family studied literature and martial arts with Xiao Si and Xiao Wu in the Duke's Mansion. They spent most of their time living in the Songhe Courtyard of Mrs. Guogong's Mansion. Occasionally they would go home to live when they missed their parents.

Since the Yuan twin brothers returned to Kyoto, Peng Wenhong is no longer the youngest.

Although Tang Wenhong is very happy to have two younger brothers who can play together, fighting for favor is necessary. After all, he is still only a 5-year-old child.

"Okay, you are all good children who study hard and practice hard. You must eat more and grow taller." The madam hurriedly comforted her little grandson. …

"Third Master, Tang Wensong, the eldest young master of the Rongguo Palace, has sent you a message, saying that there will be a banquet at home tomorrow noon. Please come to the house in advance to talk about it." Jiang Qi took an invitation and handed it to Jiangsu Nian for review.

Jiang Shunian thought for a while. Although he was engaged, he had not yet visited Duke Rongguo's mansion, which was a bit rude.

"Send a message to the Duke's office and tell me that I will attend the appointment on time tomorrow."

At this time, Tang Wensong was still practicing in the military camp and did not know that his grandmother had invited his future brother-in-law in his own name.

Since you are going to the Duke's Mansion for an appointment and you have to meet the elders, it would be better to bring some gifts.

Jiang Shunian then told Jiang Ming, "Go to the main courtyard and ask your mother what kind of gifts should you bring when you visit the Duke of Rongguo tomorrow?"

I don't know if I can see the eldest daughter of the Tang family tomorrow. After all, the two have not officially met yet, so they can't wait until the day of their wedding to see her true face again.

It doesn't matter to me. After all, although I couldn't see clearly last time on the carriage, I still had a rough impression. However, the eldest lady of the Tang family has not seen her appearance yet, so she didn't know that she was not afraid of the ugly appearance of the man when she took the initiative to make a marriage contract. Bad character?

Jiang Shunian sat back on the chair with one leg crossed on the chair and one leg shaking aimlessly, thinking about what to do tomorrow.

After all, this is my future wife’s natal family, so I have to do my best to behave well.

...

The next day, loaded with gifts prepared by Mrs. Qiao of the Marquis of Yongning for the elders of the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Shunian, Jiang Qi and Jiang Ming drove to Rongguo's Mansion for an appointment.

Today is not the tenth day of the holiday. The elders in the Duke's Mansion are all women and children, except Mr. Tang San, who was notified in advance by Mrs. Tai to stay behind to entertain guests.

When Jiang Shunian arrived at the Duke of Rongguo's mansion, he was resting at home and was personally received and brought into the mansion by Tang Wensong, who was pretending to be an invitation.

There is a three-year age difference between the two, so there is no barrier to communication between them.

One has been training in the military camp since he was twelve years old and has seen all kinds of soldiers; the other has gained a reputation as a high-class playboy after returning to Beijing for more than a year, and has come into contact with many people from all walks of life.

After Mrs. Jiang entered the mansion in Jiang Shunian, she ordered her granddaughters to sit on the embroidery stool behind the screen in the living room, except for Tang Bingyan, who was just 6 years old this year.

Tang Wenzhu, Tang Wenhong and the Yuan brothers were all standing in the hall, looking forward to meeting their eldest brother-in-law (eldest cousin-in-law) again.

Soon, Tang Wensong led a tall young man into the main hall of Songhe Courtyard. I saw that the young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with thick black hair, a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, a high nose, moderately thick red lips, and an exceptionally handsome face with distinct features.

Seeing the elders sitting in the hall, the young man immediately had a gentle smile on his face and greeted all the elders.

Regardless of Jiang Shuqian's career, his tall height and handsome facial features made him very popular among his elders.

Probably because his reputation as a playboy was so great that the world ignored his handsome appearance.

Even Mrs. Liu, who was not very enthusiastic about the marriage, was surprised when she saw Jiang Shunian's appearance, and felt a little happy about her future son-in-law.

After paying homage to the elders, Mrs. Tai took Jiang Shunian's hand and exchanged a few words. Mr. Tang Sanye took Jiang Sunian, Tang Wensong and the four little ones who insisted on following them to the study room in the outer courtyard.

Among the three sisters inside the screen, the person involved, Tang Bingxuan, was sitting calmly on a chair drinking tea, while Tang Bingyu pulled Tang Bingqing against the screen, clearly seeing the appearance of her eldest brother-in-law.

After Mr. Tang Sanye led the people out, Tang Bingyu tapped Tang Bingqing with his index finger, looked at the eldest sister Tang Bingxuan, and whispered, "The eldest sister has been sitting there and didn't see what the eldest brother-in-law looked like. Could it be that she was... Are you fascinated by the eldest brother-in-law’s voice?”

That's right, Tang Bingxuan was "fascinated" by Jiang Shunian's voice.

Isn't this voice the third cousin Qiao Waner likes! At that time, I had no choice but to listen to the corner, and was glanced at by the real owner.

Tang Bingxuan was annoyed. He should have thought long ago that Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, is the biological sister of Duke Cheng, and isn't Jiang Shunian Qiao Waner's third cousin?

I don’t know if Jiang Shunian saw himself clearly at the time. After all, it must have been embarrassing for his future wife to accidentally overhear his involvement with his cousin.

It didn't matter to me, after all, I didn't know the other person at the time; and what Jiang Shunian said at that time seemed to have no romantic feelings for Qiao Waner.

There is a saying that goes well, as long as you don’t feel embarrassed these days, others will be embarrassed!

Mr. Tang Sanye took Jiang Shunian and the sons of Duke Rongguo to his study room in the outer courtyard.

Although I was not good at my homework back then, the furnishings in the study and the Four Treasures of the Study were all made by famous artists.

Even if a child of a noble family is a playboy, he has been influenced by the wealthy family for a long time. Even if he cannot tell the origin, he still has a sharp eye.

"Jiang Laosan, I really didn't expect that we have such a fate. From now on, Third Uncle will protect you!" Mr. Tang Sanye saw that Jiang Shunian's own leeks had been cut, but he found that the person who cut the leeks was there. The feeling of seeing your own home.

"Thank you, uncle." Jiang Shunian cupped his fists and thanked him.

Tang Wensong's mouth twitched when he saw that there was another playboy like his third uncle in the family, but he didn't feel disgusted.

"Future brother-in-law, I heard that before your grandfather Jiang Laohou passed away, you also studied literature and martial arts. Why didn't you pursue a future?"

Tang Wensong is three years younger than Jiang Shunian, but he is Tang Bingxuan's eldest brother. Like his younger brothers, he can't call him Third Brother. It's unreasonable to call him brother-in-law directly. Like Third Uncle, he doesn't feel familiar enough, so he's confused. I can only make do with calling him "future brother-in-law".

Jiang Shunian was not embarrassed by the question, nor did he worry about being looked down upon by the woman's family. He said bluntly: "When my grandfather was here, he was very strict and did not dare to show his true nature. Now that no one is in charge, of course he must be happy in life." ah."
