452. Imperial Capital Four(1/2)

Chapter 452

He Zijin first took his son back to his parents' home. He and his wife Shen obviously heard about the news that His Majesty the Emperor gave the two families a marriage. The whole family was smiling. Shen smiled and said, "Abing is a good girl, and she is good with A Xi. Seeing that she grows up, she is a perfect marriage."

Old lady He followed her and nodded, pulled her girl by her side, lowered her voice, and asked mysteriously, "I heard that A Bing's grandfather was the Minister of the Imperial Capital, is it true?" Her eyes have always been very practical.

He Zijin nodded, "Master Su is now the Minister of Justice."

Old lady He slapped her and praised, "We Aye are really blessed!"

A Ye hurriedly explained, "The main reason is that Miss Su has a good character."

Old Madam He smiled and looked at his great-grandson, feeling that such a marriage is worthy of his grandson~ Look at his little appearance, how handsome, and moreover, he has knowledge. At a young age, he is a Jinshi~ Old Madam He was proud of his great-grandson's marriage. He missed him a scholar and a child's family, and was too thin to behave, so he said, "I know, she wants a bad character, and even a princess is not easy to marry. Miss Su has a good character and a good family. Isn't this better?!"

A Ye felt a little embarrassed and felt that his great-grandmother was a tyrant. His great-grandmother also said, "You are blind and want to be blind." Then, he summarized himself, "Scholars are like this, they are stupid and unreal."

A Ye almost spit out an old blood, he, why did he become an unreal person~

Anyway, the He family was very happy for A Ye. In the words of Mrs. He, who doesn’t care about family background? She has a great-grandson, talented and beautiful, and has a life at home. Of course, she hopes that her great-grandson will marry a girl from a good family.

The third girl He Qi came over and praised the marriage for her good relationship when she spoke. However, when it came to A Nian's return to the imperial capital and became an official, everyone was reluctant to leave. Once A Nian left, He Zijin, his family, would have to go to the imperial capital.

He Zijin talked about her father's mission, and Shen said, "Your father is thinking about it. He has one year left in office, so there is no hurry."

The third girl said, "Uncle and aunt are in Beichang Mansion. If we are filial to each other, it will be the same."

Shen said, "I live in Beichang Mansion. I really feel it is a good place. It's the same. I just miss my grandchildren. I haven't seen Ah Xuan and A Feng before."

Old lady He said to the third girl, "If we go back to the imperial capital, we will go back together."

He Zijin said, "Brother Awen and Brother Aren's mission just came down."

"What a mission?" asked Mrs. He.

The third girl He Qi had a smile on her face, but the third girl said, "Just first, there was no official who even participated in our family's book. We said that our family had moved their children's household registration to Beichang Prefecture to facilitate the imperial examination. A Nian discussed with her husband and A Ren that the family was not well-off at the beginning, so the business was enough. Now that the family has been living, it would be better to hand over the business to the shopkeeper and find a serious job. We have been doing grain and grass business for years. A Nian arranged for the food and grass jobs in Beijingguan. The appointment has just come down and will be a job next year."

When Mrs. He heard about this, she asked first, "What kind of official is it?"

He Qi smiled, "All of them are genuine eighth grades."

Mrs. He slapped his thigh, "This is a happy event." He said to them, "At the beginning of being an official, he was not high. A Nian and A Lie's father started as an official in the seventh rank. Da Baoxing and the others are all like this. Although it is not as good as doing business, they can earn more money. No matter how much money they earn, they can't buy an imperial decree. In the future, you can earn an imperial decree by yourself."

The third girl He Qi smiled and said, "I hope that as my grandmother (the old lady) said, we will be blessed."

Mrs. He said, "You are blessed at first sight." Thinking that there were two more officials in the family, Mrs. He was very happy and said, "I haven't heard you before."

He Zijin said, "When this matter is not done, no one in the city can tell you first. Our family is at the forefront of the storm, so it's better to be low-key. Just eat meat with your head down. Otherwise, it would be a bad thing to ask our people to know in advance. Now that things are done, it's okay."

Mrs. He smiled, "I have been very careful since I was a child."

"That's what you learned from grandmother," He Zijin said, "It's a coincidence that A Nian handled it before going to the imperial capital. It's up to Brother Awen to have this luck."

Both Hu Jiang's families were very grateful for the matter of A Nian's mission to Hu Wen and Jiangren.

The Hu family has always been a family of officials. The people who Mr. Hu understands so much. Not to mention the eighth rank or the ninth rank, he is willing to be an official instead of doing business. Mrs. Hu suddenly knew about this and said to Mr. Hu, "Awen, a child, is not very good at studying when he was young, and has no other opinions on his behavior, especially his vision."

Grandpa Hu also whispered, "This granddaughter-in-law is well married and lives a prosperous family."

"Yes, I'm still filial." If you want to say that the climate of Beichang Mansion is really not comparable to that of the hometown in Shuzhong, it's just that living with my grandson in Beichang Mansion is a hundred times more comfortable than following my son. In my hometown, my daughter-in-law asks her to cry poorly every month, but she just cares about her private houses. In Beichang Mansion, my grandson-in-law has to respect her money every month. She has her own private house, so where can I ask for the money for my grandson? The grandson-in-law said that the same is true for my grandmother's aunt. Old Mrs. Hu just accepted it, but she left it alone, thinking about subsidizing her great-grandsons in the future. At Grandpa Hu and Old Mrs. Hu's age, it's no longer the time to care about money and food and drink. As long as the juniors live a vigorous life, the old man will be happy and be in good spirits.

Old Mrs. Hu said, "What's going on now? Chongyang was always following A Nian. Now A Nian has gone to the imperial capital. Do you think Chongyang is here, do we have to discuss a charter in advance?"

Grandpa Hu thought for a while and said, "I will discuss with Awen for a while."

Old Mrs. Hu asked her husband, "What do you think?"

Mr. Hu said, "The child of Chongyang is carved from the same mold as Awen. The child is a good child, but he suffers from not being able to study here. If Awen has a job here, there will always be a way to go. Chongyang, I am willing to follow A Nian. Not to mention anything else, Erlang and Sanlang are still successful in this school. If they can pass the imperial examination, they will be able to donate officials. Chongyang is different, so he will only donate a student in the prison, but he is also the eldest son and loves his younger brothers on weekdays. Now, Awen's industry has been established, and it's enough to have shopkeepers in business. Chongyang is good to follow A Nian first. Now A Nian has gone to the imperial capital, and it's good to go and run errands. He has gained some knowledge, and he is still young, and he can also find a job when he is older."

Old Mrs. Hu nodded, "That's the reason."

Mr. Hu laughed, "Don't think that this child in Chongyang is not very successful in his studies. His temperament is actually suitable for being an official."

When Mr. Hu discussed the future of his great-grandson with his grandson, Hu Wen said, "My sister Zijin took her children to the imperial capital after the New Year. Although there were Taoists who were walking with me all the way, I was really worried. It would be better to let Chongyang follow me. Another thing is that Erlang, I also want him to follow Chongyang to go to the imperial capital together, and follow Luo Daru to study for a year. In the next autumn year, I will come back to the autumn capital. In Chongyang, I will go to the imperial capital and buy my house. In the future, Erlang and Sanlang will also have a place to settle the capital."

Grandpa Hu nodded and said yes, Hu Wen said, "Grandfather, why don't you go to the imperial capital with your grandmother? One way is the imperial capital has a good climate, and the other way is it can also give them peace of mind."

Mr. Hu was worried about his grandson and said, "Although Erlang in Chongyang is not big, he is also sensible children. They went to the imperial capital and followed A Nian and Erlang to study in Chongyang. I am not worried. What I am worried about is that you are just a mission. If A Nian was the deputy envoy of Xuan Wei in Beijingguan first, there would be nothing to worry about. Deputy envoy of Xuan Wei is in charge of money and food in the army. When he left, even if the Ji family and his family were in-laws, General Ji would be in charge of a lot of things. Knowing that we are relatives with A Nian will naturally take care of him. But being an official and being a human being is the same principle. How can others take care of him for a long time? Furthermore, once something goes wrong, A Nian will lose face. I will live with your grandmother for another year. Although your affairs in the army and the place are different, I think there is no big difference. When you have a firm place here, I will go to the imperial capital again."

Hu Wendao, "I am the age of my grandfather, and I still worry about me."

Mr. Hu laughed, "It's a good thing to be worried. If I really tell me to do nothing, I will be ruined." My son couldn't count on him, but as his grandson's life got better and better, Mr. Hu was also happy from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the day of the family prosperity was not far away.

Mr. Hu Wen first discussed it properly, and then said to Erlang of Chongyang. Both brothers had no objection. The Hu family unified the direction, and the third girl Hu Wen and his wife discussed with He Zijin. He Zijin smiled and said, "A Nian left in a hurry. Thanks to Chongyang knowing what he was doing, and he was particularly clear when handing over to Deputy Envoy Zhu. Deputy Envoy Zhu praised Chongyang for being capable, even if the third sister Awen brother, I would like to ask you too. But this time A Nian was in the Hanlin Academy and was relatively leisurely. When he went to Chongyang, he might have been running errands."

Hu Wen said, "It's nothing bad to run more errands. There are many high-ranking officials in the imperial capital, and they have also followed their experiences. At his age, he should be more diligent. At first, Aren and I started doing business and welcoming and seeing each other." Hu Wen has such benefits. Although he was born in a scholarly manner, Hu Wen was able to keep his figure. He was born in a concubine and relied on his family's reputation to marry the third girl. At first, the couple had no money. In order to live, Hu Wen could personally take charge of business in his hometown. Now that he has arrived at Chongyang, he has inherited this advantage of Hu Wen.

The third girl entrusted the eldest son and second son to He Zijin. After talking about her own plans, she talked about letting Chongyang go to the imperial capital to set up a house. He Zijin also said, "Just live in one place."

The third girl smiled, "It's okay now, but I have to think about it for the future. Erlang will study, marry and have children in the imperial examinations, and there is also the matter of Sanlang. For the descendants, they will set up a house first and let them learn to live their own lives. Otherwise, they will always follow their elders and will not be able to become independent."

He Zijin smiled and said, "This is also. Erlang is getting bigger."

The third girl said, "If you come to the imperial capital, if you see a lady with good character, please pay attention to Erlang. No matter how bad your vision is, I will be happy as long as you like it."

He Zijin smiled and said, "Okay, if there is a suitable girl's home, I would be willing to be this big media."

The third girl was very happy.

Unexpectedly, He Qi also asked He Zijin for the same thing. He Qi was so worried when he thought of Dabao's affairs. He Qi said, "As long as he is a serious family, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, you can do it. As long as Dabao is willing, good sister, please help me watch some."

He Zijin thought that Dabao's affairs were really worrying. He Zijin said, "In the past, we were far away. Now I go to the imperial capital, so I will naturally ask Dabao's thoughts."

He Qi quietly said to He Zijin, "If Dabao still thinks about Miss Sui, my sister will also send me a message. Alas, I have figured it out now, and it is hard to buy him willing to do it. As long as he likes it, everything else will be fine. I will also help him ask about Miss Sui's meaning."

He Zijin agreed.

The family reunited. He Zijin prepared six gifts here and sent someone a post to the Su family. When the Su family had a reply, He Zijin came to visit the door with his eldest son, who was dressed up in a rage.

Mrs. Su and He Zijin are already familiar with each other. Now the two families are going to get married, not to outsiders. What's more, Jiang's son-in-law has dressed up today. Oh, Jiang's family is from Tanhua, and her appearance is grown up from the essence of her parents. She belongs to the kind of street clothes and wears tall and elegant temperament. She is handsome and is liked by middle-aged and elderly people. Now she dressed up specially. Mrs. Su looked at her and smiled even more and said, "A Ye is here."

A Ye hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met my mother-in-law." His mouth was quite sweet.

Mrs. Su's eyes were almost laughing and she kept saying, "Don't be so polite."

He Zijin thought that his son was not happy at home at first, but now he was so flattering, and he was very despised at the eldest son's inconsistent behavior. He still smiled and said, "After receiving the order at home, I quickly packed up and brought Aye over. My parents' house, who had arrived before, but he came over immediately. Yesterday I sent a post to send a post, and today I specially brought him to pay my respects to my sister-in-law." He took out the letter from her husband to the Su family and said, "This is what my master asked me to give to my in-laws. The master said that when he met the old in-laws in the imperial capital, he admired the character of the Su family very much. Our two families have known each other for many years, and the children have watched them grow up. The master mentioned marriage with the old in-laws. It was really rude."

Mrs. Su received the letter, and because it was written on it, it was "Brother Su Qi", she didn't read it directly. Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Since it was decided by our old master, it would be even more wrong. Originally, A Bing's marriage had to go and discuss it with the old master and the old lady."

Mrs. Su was not at all displeased, or deliberately took care of her in-laws or something. Mrs. Su also made up the matter so as not to make her in-laws feel disgusted. Mrs. Su talked about the fact that Jiang's in-laws returned to the imperial capital to be transferred to Hanlin attendants. Mrs. Su said, "This is something I never thought of."

He Zijin said, "That's not the case. I wrote that we would all go to the imperial capital next year. I thought, we should come here first, otherwise, wouldn't we begging A Bing?"

The engagement ceremony is naturally more grand. If the Jiang family goes to the imperial capital and returns to Beichang Prefecture, what will Jieshi do if the engagement ceremony is not likely to be great. There are many families, such as those who are far away, exchange for the token of the confidant. Jieshi will hire him before marrying him, which means getting engaged. For example, Brother Lie Jun'er's engagement, A Lie was lucky to have a marriage with his grandparents, and his in-laws had a good family, but his parents were not around, so he felt wronged. Brother Jun'er's reversal, Yue'er's family was in the imperial capital. Brother Jun'er's parents were not around, and the engagement was handled by his uncle's family, so that He Gong of Shen had never met his second daughter-in-law yet. Therefore, He Zijin wanted to take advantage of her in Beijingguan to get the engagement ceremony for her two children.

He Zijin said again, "I have started to save A Ye's betrothal gift for getting married. They are all the same brothers and sisters. When they were young, they paid one by one. A Xi didn't expect that getting married so early. A Ye had prepared it here long ago." This means that things are never hastily.

When Aye heard that his mother and his mother-in-law were discussing the betrothal gift, he was so shameless that he was not shy at all and was pricking his ears. Su Erlang came over. Su Erlang was also a handsome young man, but he was two years older than Aye and slightly taller than Aye, but he looked less handsome than Aye. Su Erlang had seen the gifts for his mother and He Zijin and smiled, "Hello Aunt Jiang, I heard that my aunt is here, so I came here to pay my respects."

He Zijin smiled and said, "Erlang is not here to pay my respects to me, but my brother-in-law is here to see my brother-in-law."

Su Erlang was still thinner and smiled when he heard this, "It's mainly to pay my respects to my aunt, and I'm going to take care of my brother-in-law. A Ye and I have known each other since we were young, and we both slept in the same bed. Who doesn't know who."

He Zijin smiled and said, "Okay, you young people have something to say, so there is no need to set rules before us."

Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Erlang has been talking about Aye for several days. You can go and talk to yourself."

The two mothers and mothers still have to discuss the engagement.

Su Erlang mainly came to see why Jiang Ye was so shameless and dared to marry his sister.

Well, for every brother, it is probably a little deficient if the gods in heaven match their sister.

A Ye specifically understood Su Erlang's feelings and said, "Second brother, do you hate me very much now?"

Su Erlang and A Ye didn’t know each other for a day or two, and they went out to study together. They knew that this guy was very kind. It was originally a good friend, but suddenly A Ye wanted to marry his sister. Su Erlang felt that his sister’s simple and simple personality would not be fooled by this guy. Su Erlang said, “If you treat A Bing well, I won’t hate you anymore.”

A Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought so too when Azhen and my sister got engaged." He was still self-taught and would seek empathy.

Su Erlang said, "Hello you are comparing with Ah Zhen?"

"It's not like, I'm all a juren, and he doesn't even have any fame." A Ye looked melancholy, "I'm worried that A Xi will have no food to eat with him in the future."

Su Erlang: How thick is my brother-in-law?

A Ye said sincerely, "Second brother, don't worry, I will be motivated, earn money, and live a good life for my wife and children in the future. My family still has family rules, but no man in the family is young, I am also very dedicated. That is, my family is not as good as yours, and I am afraid that sister A Bing will be wronged."

Su Erlang ignored this and said, "Then my family is so tall, why did you have been friends with me before? You haven't felt inferior yet."

A Ye smiled shamelessly, "I know second brother, you are not such a snob."

Su Erlang snorted and asked Aye, "Your family has never said to my family before, so you can ask for an order to marry me?"

A Ye quickly explained seriously, "We have known each other for so many years, how could my family be like this?" He asked Su Erlang, "What did your old man say in the letter?"

Su Erlang was a little displeased when he heard the five words "Your old man", so Aye hurriedly changed his words, "Grandfather and grandfather."

Su Erlang said, "Grandfather said you look good. But he has never seen you, how can you know what you look like?"

A Ye said, "Grandfather has never seen me, but I have seen my father. Moreover, second brother, you used to praise me for being a handsome young man, why do you dislike me now?"

"I really beg you. That's all a boast and a casual word. You believe it, why are you so real?"

"My family is real."

Su Erlang glared at him and said, "Don't try to change the topic, tell me what's going on?"
