Chapter 15 Saying Pro

Last time Princess Runan brought Jiang Changning into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, not many people knew about it, so it didn't cause any commotion.

This time, the Queen Mother ordered her servants to leave the palace and reward Jiang Changning with things, which finally attracted the attention of various governments.

Jiang Changning, the Queen Mother and the Emperor's savior, was revealed to the public.

Jiang Changning had already expected to reveal himself to others when he took out the golden lock.

But Jiang Changning never expected that there would be so many people in Beijing who wanted to take shortcuts.

Matchmakers came one after another to propose marriage to Jiang Changning.

The marriage proposal was not brought up to Jiang Changning, so Jiang Changning just pretended not to know.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zou said in front of her that day: "Old lady, it's time for the male to get married and the female to get married. It's been a long time since my cousin has had hairpins, so it's time to propose marriage to her."

After Jiang Changning heard this, he stood up to avoid it.

Mrs. Zou stepped forward, pushed her back to her original position, and said with a smile: "Cousin, it's about your life, so just listen. What I'm telling you is from a good family."

"Girl Ning, just sit down and listen." Mrs. Zhuang's expression was not very good.

Mrs. Wu also had a droopy face and looked at Mrs. Zou with anger.

Jiang Changning's eyebrows moved slightly, she had become a tool for the three people's fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again.

The marriage that Zou told Jiang Changning was, "The third young master of the family of the right minister of the Ministry of Rites..."

"I remember that this third young master is a concubine." Wu interrupted.

"Although this third young master is a concubine, he is raised in his wife's name," said Zou.

"Being raised in the wife's name cannot change the fact that he is a concubine." Wu made it clear that he was a concubine.

"Except for being a concubine, this third young master is very good in other aspects. He is polite and polite, and he is motivated in his studies. He will join the show next year. He will definitely pass high school. By then, my cousin will be the official wife."

Zou turned to look at Jiang Changning, "Cousin, do you want to meet someone?"

Mrs. Zhuang glared at her angrily and said coldly: "My bastard daughter-in-law is just inferior to others. There is no need to see her."

Even though the Jiang family fell into decline, they did not go so far as to marry their legitimate daughter to a concubine.

Wu glanced sideways at Zou and raised the corners of her lips.

Jiang Changning really doesn't care whether he is a direct descendant or a concubine, as long as he has good character and can make progress.

But she didn't believe that Mr. Zou would choose a good family for her.

If Mrs. Zhuang doesn't want to see her, then she won't see her.

Zou said unwillingly: "There is another young master, which is not bad. He is the eldest son of the Prime Minister of Kyoto."

Before Wu spoke, Zou added: "This is the direct descendant."

Mrs. Wu snorted softly, picked up the teacup, and took two sips.

"Not only is this eldest son good-looking, he is also a well-known talent in Beijing. He is a master of poetry and painting. His lyrics are sung everywhere." Zou said.

In Zou's words, the eldest son of the Prime Minister of Kyoto was a rare and beloved man.

But Zhuang Qingyan is more than two months younger than Jiang Changning. With such a good marriage partner, will the Zou family leave it to their biological daughter?

"Ning Yatou's marriage, don't be in a hurry, just worry about Brother Deng's marriage." Mrs. Zhuang ended the topic neatly.

Zou was full of words and had nothing to say, so she muttered, "I'm doing this for my cousin's sake."

No one answered her words. After Jiang Changning returned to the courtyard, he said, "Shu Fei, let them check those two people."

Although I feel that Zou has bad intentions in playing matchmaker, there is no evidence.

Check it out, get the evidence, and don't accuse someone wrongly.

"Girl, do you think these two people are marryable?" Shu Fei asked.

"You will know after checking whether you can marry or not," Jiang Changning said with a slight smile.

In the evening, Jiang Changning went to Mrs. Zhuang's yard again.

The girl in the first room hasn't arrived yet, and the two girls in the second room are sitting in the side hall drinking tea.

Seeing Jiang Changning come in, Zhuang Qingmei said with envy on her face: "Sister Ning is so lucky. The third young master of the left minister's family in the Ministry of Rites and the eldest son of the Prime Minister of Kyoto have asked their mother to come and talk to Sister Ning."

"Fifth sister has really long ears. She was able to find out things so clearly while she was studying in school." Jiang Changning said mockingly.

"I just heard it from the maids." Zhuang Qingmei said quickly.

Jiang Changning glanced at Zhuang Qingyan, "It's really unruly. The gossips that the masters chat about are all they can talk about."

"Things that don't behave according to the rules should be taken out and slapped." Zhuang Qingyan said solemnly.

Zhuang Qingmei laughed awkwardly twice and fell silent for the time being.

After a while, she came back, "Sister Ning, who do you want to marry?"

"Fifth sister, you have read "Female Training" in vain." Jiang Changning stood up, with an angry look on his face, and walked away.

When a woman gets married for the first time, she should obey the orders of her parents and the rules of the matchmaker. A girl cannot marry whomever she wants.

Zhuang Qingmei's words hinted at Jiang Changning's personal agreement with others to give and receive for life.

"It seems you want to get slapped." Zhuang Qingyan glared at her and stood up to leave.

Zhuang Qingmei rolled her eyes indifferently, picked up the teacup, and took a few sips.

The next day, Zhuang Qingru took her husband back to her parents' home.

Tomorrow is the official day of Mrs. Zhuang's sixtieth birthday. Tonight, the Zhuang family will hold a birthday banquet.

Zhuang Qingru, the eldest daughter of the banker family, married Fang Xiao, the second son of Wuchang Bo.

The current Wuchang Bo is the eldest brother of Princess Runan. Princess Runan will come to the banker's house and want to recognize her as her goddaughter and let her marry on her behalf. This is definitely due to Zhuang Qingru's contribution.

"Sister Ning, you are really tight-lipped about such an important matter. It really shocked me when I first heard about it." Zhuang Qingru smiled like a spring breeze, but there was an accusation hidden in her tone.

Jiang Changning looked at her and said with a faint smile: "My late father taught me not to expect repayment of kindness. If the concubine had not seen the golden lock, I would not have mentioned this matter."

Zhuang Qingru narrowed his eyes, this was a nod to her.

"Sister Ning has been favored by the Queen Mother, which is a great thing. However, the Queen Mother is in the inner palace and has many political affairs. There is no need to alarm the Queen Mother for some small things. Don't you think so, Sister Ning?" Zhuang Qingru stared sharply.

By Jiang Changning.

"Of course there is no need to bother the Queen Mother about small matters, but the Queen Mother has to make the decision on big matters." Jiang Changning looked at her without showing any signs of weakness.

It's best to live in peace. If you dare to scheme against her again, don't blame her for fighting back. Don't think she doesn't know that Zhuang Qingru is coveting the title of Wuchang Earl.

"Sister Ning, these days are really different from the past." Zhuang Qingru's impression of Jiang Changning was that he was meek and independent.

"People will always grow up." Jiang Changning said lightly.

"I only hope that Sister Ning will always be so high-spirited." Zhuang Qingru stood up and said.

"Thank you sister for your kind words, I will do it." Jiang Changning smiled and then sent her out politely.

The birthday banquet is a family banquet, and Jiang Changning, an outsider, is not qualified to attend.

In the evening, Jiang Changning sat in the courtyard, smiling slightly as he listened to the singing and opera coming from the front courtyard. It was really lively.

Mrs. Zhuang is the second-grade wife of imperial decree, and Zhuang Shenmao also serves in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Many people come to Zhuang's house to congratulate Mrs. Zhuang on her birthday.
