Chapter 644: Brocade box
Chapter 644 Brocade Box
On the eighth day of September, in the Jiya courtyard, Zhang Wenjiang and the Jiang brothers sat around the table, drinking tea and chatting, the bamboo fence outside the window was sparse, the yellow chrysanthemum was clustered, the insects were chirping, and the painted landscape scrolls on the outer wall were quite a bit.” Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely see the Nanshan" artistic conception. Jiang Song and Zhang Wenjiang chatted about poems and allusions related to Chongyang and chrysanthemums throughout the ages. Jiang Erye had limited ink in his stomach, and was only responsible for laughing, pouring tea, and eating refreshments.
After chatting for the most part, Zhang Wenjiang mentioned Liao Chuanrui, "After the Liao family's wounding case was closed, I thought he was a good candidate, so I recommended him to study under Mr. Xie's school."
Being able to be honored by Zhang Wenjiang with a "thank you"... Jiang Erye's eyes lit up, "Your Excellency said it was Nanyang Xie Qingquan who resigned from office and returned to seclusion, Xie Lord?"
Zhang Wenjiang nodded, "Exactly, but although Liao Chuanrui studied in Nanyang for many years and thanked him for his careful teaching for many years, he did not do the apprenticeship ceremony."
Why didn't he really apprentice, the three present knew very well. Before Xie Qingquan resigned, he served as the minister of the Ministry of Housing, and he had political disagreements with Qin Tianye, who was then the Minister of the Ministry of Housing. Xie Qingquan was disheartened and resigned from office to return to his hometown. If it wasn't for his resignation, who would get Li Zhaozhou to take the seat of Minister of the Household? Now that Qin Tianye is in power, Xie Qingquan does not officially accept Liao Chuanrui as a disciple, but for his future consideration.
After hearing what Zhang Wenjiang said, Jiang Song was more satisfied with Liao Chuanrui. Xie Qingquan was able to keep Liao Chuanrui by his side and teach him carefully, which shows that Liao Chuanrui's knowledge and character are all right. So when Zhang Wenjiang mentioned that he wanted to protect the media for his disciples and asked to marry the Jiang family daughter, Jiang Song immediately nodded.
Liao Chuanrui and Jiang Muzheng's marriage was tentatively settled.
Back at the mansion, Jiang Song reported the matter to his mother and wife. Mrs. Jiang nodded with a smile, and when Mrs. Chen returned to the room, she couldn't wait to ask her husband, "Master, where is Liao Chuanrui from, and who is the winner?"
Jiang Song did not tell his wife that Liao Chuanrui had learned from Xie Qingquan and Zhang Wenjiang, but said, "His ancestral home, Jingzhao Xiangyi, saw him in front of the Gongyuan, and Liao Chuanrui was in front of him when Dalang entered the Gongyuan..."
"The one who helped Dalang carry the package?" Before her husband could finish speaking, Chen's eyes widened in shock, "That man looks like he's in his thirties? He hasn't married yet?"
Jiang Song explained, "He is a young adult, only twenty-two years old this year."
Twenty-two looks like that, and he doesn't look like a rich family in clothes. What's the point of his husband's vision? Chen Shi was puzzled, but felt quite at ease, "Have you talked to Zheng'er, sir?"
Jiang Song smiled, "It's best for Madam to tell Zhenger about this."
"Okay, tell her to my concubine." Chen shi not only need to tell the concubine, but also send someone to Balizhuang to talk to her aunt who is a vegetable and pig, but before she goes, she has to ask clearly. "Master, what's so good about this Liao Chuanrui?"
Jiang Song said with a smile, "You can't judge people by their appearance. Liao Chuanrui is the second place in this year's Gyeonggi Road Autumn Festival. He is quite talented and a rare talent."
Second place? Chen shi was stunned for a moment, "Then he wants to participate in next year's spring festival?"
Jiang Song said with a smile, "With his talent and learning, if nothing happens, he will be in the top two next year."
Entering the Second Class A is a jinshi, who can be an official. Chen Shi felt that his chest was very tight, but he could only hold on to a smile and said, "If you can really get into the jinshi, Zheng'er will marry and enjoy happiness. The letter from Shaoxing hasn't arrived yet, and I don't know how the Zhengqiu exam is going. , Counting the days that Rong'er is about to give birth, I always feel uneasy in my heart..."
After being close to each other for 20 years, how could Jiang Song not understand his wife's thoughts, "Zhengqiu received advice from a famous teacher. If he fails this time, he will also be successful in three years. Rong'er is in good health. Take care of it and you should be safe. If you are worried, after your mother's birthday, let Dalang accompany you to Shaoxing to visit your mother-in-law and Rong'er."
Chen shi raised his head and pulled his sleeves with a smile. Seeing his wife like this, Jiang Song felt soft in his heart, "On mother's birthday, Liao Chuanrui's mother will also come to pay her respects. You and mother have a good look at each other. If it is suitable, we will arrange the marriage of the two children, and then let the elder Lang will accompany you to Shaoxing. Liao Chuanrui is an excellent student, and in the future, Dalang will have to ask him for advice. If Liao Chuanrui sincerely teaches it, Dalang will definitely make great progress, and he will be expected to become a scholar in three years.”
In Chen's heart, nothing is more important than her husband and children, and she immediately agreed with her mouth. After sending her husband out the next day, Mrs. Chen called her concubine over and told her about the marriage, "I'm from Xiangyi, Gyeonggi, and I'm ranked second in this year's autumn season. I read better than Dalang. Your father made thousands of choices and chose it. When your grandmother's birthday is coming, Liao Chuanrui will enter the manor as your eldest brother and friend to pay her respects, and his mother will come too. When that time comes, you have to be generous, don't let people say that we are Jiang The daughter of the family is uneducated."
"Yes." Jiang Muzheng did not dare to show joy, and bowed his head respectfully.
"Because of your grandmother's birthday, I asked the sewing room to cut new clothes for you a few days ago, and then I asked Liu'er to accompany you to go around and choose two decent jewelry." When your marriage is booked, your eldest brother and I will go to Shaoxing to see your sister. You two lived together when you were young. You know what she likes best. When you go out, remember to choose some decent things for your sister. Mother will take care of you. Bring it over, your sister will be delighted to see you."
"Yes." Jiang Muzheng replied in a proper manner.
Chen shi nodded in satisfaction, "Go ahead."
Chen said this, but did not ask the mother-in-law to give the concubine a penny. Since Jiang Liu opened the rouge shop and the concubine received monthly dividends, Chen shi never gave her monthly money again. Jiang Muzheng withdrew after answering without saying a word.
When she saw the sisters, she relaxed a little and couldn't help showing a shy look.
Hearing that Auntie was going to Shaoxing to see the eldest sister, the four sisters decided to go out together to choose gifts for the eldest sister and the unborn nephew, and buy the second sister's fashionable headwear this year. Mrs. Jiang was more generous than Mrs. Chen, and asked her mother-in-law to take 10 taels of silver and hand it over to her second granddaughter, and explained, "If you have suitable silk flowers and pearl hairpins, you can buy them. The colors should be bright and the styles should be festive."
Jiang Liu said with a smile, "Don't worry, grandma, Liu'er will open her eyes and choose it for the second sister."
Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, "Just let your third sister help you choose, you don't have to wipe your eyes."
Um? Grandma doesn't believe her vision? Jiang Liu lowered his face exaggeratedly, which made Mrs. Jiang laugh out loud, and the maidservants in the room also bent over with laughter, and Jiang Mujin was lying on the couch with an exaggerated smile.
The four sisters, , dressed up and went out. After a full day of walking around Caiyi Lane in Xishi City, they headed to the restaurant for lunch with satisfaction. As soon as they entered the room and sat down, Jiang Bai walked in with a brocade box, "Miss, Master Liao asked someone to send a box."
Thanks to the book friend Shuxiangtan Tea for the reward, the first one will be delivered today. We have cooled down here, and the wind is blowing outside the window. It may snow tonight, so I look forward to it.
