The Cheng family already had the eldest son Cheng Xun and the second son Cheng Sui. Our family only had your eldest brother Jiang Lu, and then your second sister Jiang Qing.

Originally, it was the eldest son Cheng Xun and Jiang Qing, but at that time, Mrs. Cheng followed Mr. Cheng's wishes and accepted the marriage, but she did not agree with their eldest son Cheng to marry a warrior's daughter to be the mistress of the house, so she promised the second son.

Cheng sent.

Our family had no intention of pursuing this marriage, and neither the eldest son nor the second son cared about it.

Therefore, when the eldest son of their family reached the marriageable age, he married the daughter of his colleague Bai Hanlin.

The Cheng family did not arrange the marriage of the second young master, and kept their word. They said that when the second young master passed the imperial examination, he would marry the second daughter of our family on time when he turned 18. Who would have expected that the second young master was so knowledgeable that he was appointed by the emperor.

She fell in love with Tanhua and proposed marriage to the original eldest princess of Jingyang.

I also know that Qing'er was very sad about this matter for a while, but how could our family compete with the royal family for marriage? I advised her to put it down and never mention it again in the future.

After the old man found out about this, he wrote a book overnight and gave it to Mr. Cheng, saying again that he would not mention it and let it go."

Mr. Cheng did not dare to disobey the emperor and felt sorry for our Jiang family. He gave us a generous gift and said that he had no face to see our Jiang family again. However, he never forgot our kindness and promised that the next generation would marry a girl from our Jiang family as his wife.

Therefore, our family has not had any contact with the Cheng family in these years, and this promise has only fallen to Yatou and her generation."

It turns out that there are still so many twists and turns. After talking about these, Tang seemed a little tired.

Tang took a sip of tea, looked at everyone present and sighed and said: "Although our family proposed to drop this matter at the beginning, the Cheng family did not agree. I selfishly did not return the fish pendant to the Cheng family. I did not want to threaten him.

The Cheng family may have something up their sleeves. They just think that if one day, they need something from the Cheng family, it would be nice to have a token. Now it seems that this fish pendant can come in handy to solve an urgent need."

These words made everyone here feel a little excited. Mr. Cheng is now a third-rank member of the Cheng family.

Cheng Xun is also the salt transport envoy of the fourth grade in Jizhou City under the jurisdiction of the Qin family. His son Cheng Nuobai passed the scholar examination last year and is the head of the case. If he continues to advance in the future, he does not know what great future he will have.

Cheng Song was the most respected consort in the dynasty. Although he did not hold any actual position, he was granted the title of Marquis of Chengen. Cheng Enhou's eldest son, Cheng Nuoyan, inherited the status of the heir apparent of Bohou.

When the children of the Cheng family come out, any one of them is someone that the Jiang family did not dare to think about in the past. But now that they have such a connection, even the Qiu family is a little itchy. Her Jiang Mei is the best among all the girls in the Jiang family.

The most beautiful one.

Mrs. Qiu was a little tempted, and she glanced at the eldest girl and said flatteringly: "Mom, will a wealthy family like the Cheng family agree to this? Although our eldest girl is gentle, she is inevitably a bit delicate. Our Mei'er

She has a mellow body, and she has learned to be a good prostitute on weekdays."

Mrs. Tang heard the underlying meaning of Mrs. Qiu's words and laughed angrily.

No wonder Qing'er kept pestering her. Even her second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qiu, was so jealous because she was thinking about the Cheng family's family background.

Hearing this, although Jiang Wu was also shocked, her expression remained normal and she did not lose her sense of proportion like Qiu did and say such outrageous words.

Jiang Qing looked at his second aunt Qiu with a sneer, and said disdainfully: "You think so?"

Mrs. Qiu blushed deeply. Although she felt ashamed and angry, her face turned red and white, but Mrs. Qiu was born as a merchant and knew how to weigh the pros and cons. After a while, she calmed down and figured out, how did this happen to their second wife?

. He didn’t refute and just stopped talking. It was better for Dafang and his aunt to fight over this matter.

Tang didn't like Qiu's desire for fame and fortune just now, but he also didn't like that his married daughter was so domineering and frowned: "You can't be greedy. If this matter hadn't been related to the draft, I wouldn't have said anything about it."

Although Tang knew that if she really took the jade pendant to the Cheng family, the Cheng family would definitely agree. So she arranged for someone to go to the Cheng family a few days ago, but she didn't expect that the Cheng family agreed to the matter without any hesitation.

, said that the eldest son Cheng Nuobai did not get engaged until he was seventeen, partly because he could concentrate on his studies, and partly because of his promise.

At this point, Mrs. Tang felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, my daughter somehow found out about this a few days ago, and made a fuss saying that she did not agree to this marriage. This marriage was supposed to be hers at first, but by some mistake, she could not defeat the eldest princess of Jingyang at that time. They

She had a low status, so she accepted it. However, now that the Cheng family was interested in getting married, she felt that her mother should compensate her, and the marriage should be given to her daughter Zhao Yansui.

Seeing that Tang was so determined, Jiang Qing finally couldn't sit still and wanted to fight for it again. Regardless of her status as an aunt, she just cried and knelt down in front of Tang in front of all her nephews and nieces.

, crying with tears rolling down her face: "Mom, you can't do this to your daughter. My daughter was so heartbroken and in unstoppable pain. You persuaded me to stop thinking about it. The uncle of the Cheng family was kind enough to introduce his fellow students, and that's why

I married the Zhao family. It’s just that my husband was just a ninth-grade sesame official at the beginning. For more than ten years, I followed him around and around in office, and then I returned to Jizhou for a year or two. Now, it’s easy to bring up the old things again.

, I hope that what I didn’t get my wish for at the beginning will be able to make Yan Sui’s wish come true.”

After saying that, I really started crying.

Although Tang was moved, she still didn't let go.

Zhao Yanzhui and Zhao Yansui were both smart people. Seeing that their mothers had knelt down, they did not dare to sit anymore. They also knelt on the ground with Jiang Qing. They were smart enough not to annoy Mrs. Tang with their words.

Silence is better than sound.

According to Jiang Qing, there is indeed some truth to it.

Everyone else did not express their opinions and did not dare to speak. They just waited quietly for Tang to speak.

Tang held her daughter's face and said with a sad face: "My child, this promise was made to your father by the Cheng family and made to the Jiang family. When you had the opportunity to marry into the Cheng family, it was also because you are a girl from the Jiang family.

. But now you have married someone else’s wife and become someone else’s daughter-in-law. You are now the Zhao Jiang family and are not still the original Jiang family girl. Why don’t you understand this?

Your mother and I are also married to the Jiang family. Is there anything I can do but think about the Jiang family? I have been worthy of the Jiang family all these years. You said that I am partial to the eldest girl. I can only tell you that her surname is also Jiang and she belongs to the Jiang family.

Girl."

This passage moved everyone. After all, most of the people here were named Jiang. Only then did Jiang Wei understand a little bit why a surname and a family were so important to people in ancient times, especially women. At home, they obey their father, and when they get married, they obey their husband.

Standing right is the most basic skill for a woman to survive.

Jiang Qing seemed a little desperate, slumped on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

From Jiang Wen's perspective, she saw Zhao Yansui gently tugging at the hem of her mother's clothes from behind, and Zhao Yansui coughed lightly as if her throat was uncomfortable.

Jiang Qing knelt down again and hurriedly pulled Tang's hand and said: "Mom, Yan Sui is also your granddaughter, and she is also half of the Jiang family's blood. Besides, the Cheng family is also interested in our Yan Sui, and the eldest son of the Cheng family is also interested.

Having met our Yan Sui twice, he may not be interested in our Yan Sui and begging my mother to grant her permission."

It turns out there is this one.

Everyone looked at Jiang Wu, because they all knew Jiang Wu's temperament. She had a noble temperament and could not tolerate any impurity in her life. If the young master of the Cheng family had no interest in her and had someone in his heart, she would definitely refuse to marry the Cheng family.

, I would rather enter the palace and be a maid than force myself to be forced by anyone.

Mrs. Tang saw that she wanted to get up, but Jiang Wu was the eldest granddaughter she had personally raised since Mrs. Zhang left. How could she not know her character, so she stopped her with her eyes.

Jiang Wu really wanted to stand up and say goodbye to the marriage, but she still didn't dare to disobey the Tang family, even with a look. She just sat there calmly, feeling more and more that her aunt was powerful.

Jiang Wei also has a lot of inner drama, yes, the whole family is united. Her acting skills are also speechless and she made her cry. It not only evokes the past to win sympathy, but also tries to attract family ties and influence the attitude of the Cheng family.

I really want to give them a thumbs up.

Let's see what other tricks there are. Jiang Wu felt that Jiang Wu was a nice person. Although she was still a stranger, she held Jiang Wu's hand comfortingly. Jiang Wu froze. She had never seen Jiang Wu take the initiative to get close to her. So she held Jiang Wu's hand instead.

hand and gave a reassuring smile.

Seeing that Tang didn't accept the move, Jiang Qing pulled Zhao Yansui over again, rolled up her sleeves, showed Tang the red agate bracelet on Zhao Yansui's hand, and said, "Mother, if you don't believe me, see for yourself."

, this was given to our family Yan Sui by the eldest wife of the Cheng family, Bai Shi."

When aristocratic families meet, if an elder meets a younger one for the first time, they will give some greeting gifts. Generally, if they are not very familiar with each other, they will give a purse with some gold or silver nuggets in it. Juniors who have a little family background or status, or who have known each other for generations.

People will give some personal belongings to show their relationship.

The eldest wife of the Cheng family, Cheng Xun's wife, Bai Shi, is the daughter of Lao Hanlin. If she can raise a master like Cheng Nuobai, she will naturally be good at etiquette and learning. Since she was given such a thing,

Are you really interested in Zhao Yansui?

In terms of appearance alone, Zhao Yansui is indeed a good candidate. He is charming, lovable, and a little clever. From the time he designed the third girl to the time when he was in danger, his mother has already been frustrated. She

He was able to calmly remind his mother, which shows that Zhao Yansui cannot be underestimated.

Even so, Jiang Qing did not explain clearly. In fact, she specifically inquired about Mrs. Cheng's itinerary at that time. Knowing that Mrs. Cheng went to the Baifu Temple in Jizhou City to offer incense, she stepped on the spot and met Mrs. Bai by chance, and inadvertently

Mentioned a little bit about the relationship between the Jiang family and the Cheng family.

At that time, Bai was already married to Cheng Xun, the eldest son of the Cheng family, so she knew some of the reasons and was very moved by Jiang Qing, who was going to be her sister-in-law. She also saw Zhao Yansui with her, who was well-behaved and lovely at that time.

Feeling pity for him, he gave the agate bracelet to Zhao Yansui.

At that time, Mrs. Cheng also praised Zhao Yansui for her good looks, and said that Mrs. Zhao was born well, so the girls from the Jiang family must also be excellent.
