Chapter 17

Mr. Luo could no longer care about sending Jiang Fosang to the Taoist temple, at least for the time being.

The most important thing now is to resolve the marriage affairs of the Hu family.

She thought about coming to apologize, and also thought about paying a large sum of money.

However, the steward of Hu's family is a person who cannot pour water into water, and he is well versed in the way of making a big difference with just four ounces.

He made it clear directly that he came to Beijing only to marry the seventh wife of the Jiang family, and could not make any other decisions. Moreover, this marriage had already been made clear in front of the emperor, and the emperor had personally approved it. How could there be any reason to regret it?

Mr. Luo was really helpless.

But she can accept her fate, can Foyin accept her fate?

The thought of her pampered daughter having to marry in such a remote place and not being able to see her again for who knows how many years made her heartbroken.

When I returned to the house, I threw myself on the couch, inevitably crying again.

Jiang Falun, on the other hand, remained calm and comforted his wife: "I think this marriage is a good one. The Hu family has strong soldiers and a good family tradition. If A Miao marries her, she will not be bullied."

Mr. Luo raised his head and stared at him with his red and swollen eyes: "You still have the nerve to say that it's all your fault!"

Jiang Fayun rationalized: "I also wanted to find a backer for our Jiang family..."

When Xuanhe crossed to the south, people ate each other, and nine out of ten officials were exiled. At that time, the higher the family, the easier it was to become a target for bandits, rebels, and exiles.

The great gentry with a large number of tribes were still able to protect themselves. Although their ancestors of the Jiang family were noble but poor, they only accumulated a few family soldiers. They were scattered along the way and divided into several places.

He took some tribesmen and a few scattered family soldiers and was robbed by strong men. Fortunately, Hu Chengliang, who was the prefect of Wujun at the time, came to rescue him.

A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water, let alone a life-saving gift. However, all the property was lost at that time, so there was nothing to be thankful for. He raised his head and wanted to salute, but Hu Chengliang stopped him and looked at the girl in his arms, half-jokingly saying, It would be better to marry a son and a daughter.

I accepted someone else's love and my life was saved by someone else, so why shouldn't I respond?

So the two exchanged tokens, and Hu Chengliang specially assigned a team of troops to escort them south.

Every time Mr. Luo thinks about it, he is so angry that he wants to kill him with a knife!

It was only because she was with Jun Gu when the team was dispersed, otherwise she would have stopped her no matter what.

Jiang Fayun looked at her sideways: "That's not what you said at the time. When we met, you were very happy after hearing about it and praised the husband for his wisdom."

"I..." Luo stopped.

After all, it was a time of war, the situation was precarious, and the Hu family had a lot of troops at their disposal. In that era when anyone with a gun was a grass-headed king, this was of course a good match.

But now that times have changed, the world has stabilized, and the arrogance of the aristocratic family has returned, it is inevitable that they look down upon this marriage.

In fact, you can't blame her.

Scholars and commoners are separated by heaven, and the good and the lowly are at odds with each other. This is the situation in the world. At its most severe, the carriages and uniforms were different, and they could not even sit together, let alone intermarry.

No matter how poor the nobles were, they would not choose to marry into a poor family.

A few years ago, Chen Tingzong, a descendant of the Chen family in Yingchuan, was unable to make ends meet because his family was poor, so his widowed mother wanted to make friends with someone to help him. It happened that a rich man in the county with a fortune of tens of millions wanted to marry his daughter to him, and the two parties hit it off.

However, this kind of intermarriage with the common people was strongly despised and ostracized by other nobles, who accused him of "living in a foreign land and marrying irregularly"! In the end, the marriage was abandoned.

Even those who had successfully married beyond the previous level were sued before the emperor. As a result, the young couple was ordered to divorce, and both families were dismissed from office and imprisoned. The reasons were that they were only seeking profit, disrespecting their ancestors, insulting their relatives, and insulting the noble family.

It can be seen that the rule of non-intermarriage between scholars and common people has been deeply rooted in the bones of the people at that time. Living in it, the Luo family was not immune to the custom.

In the past, when the Jiang family was prosperous, the Jiang family had their own arrogance. Even if they married the royal family, they would not despise it, and there was no need to flatter the powerful in order to consolidate the family.

Like many aristocratic families, the first condition for the marriage of their children is that they have matching family backgrounds - they only need to be from the same noble family.

As for those rich and powerful people from humble families who made their fortunes in humble professions, as well as the petty officials and officials from humble backgrounds, they would not even take a look at them.

Although the Hu family is now powerful, it can only last for three generations. If you marry such a person, you will be laughed at!

Moreover, Foyin is stubborn and makes troubles there all day long. How can he really force her to death?

Mr. Luo was very worried about this.

At this moment, Jiang Falun's young wife, Gao Ji, took the opportunity to greet her and woke her up with a casual word.

"Sixth Lady and Seventh Lady grew up together since they were young. They are cousins. They are close in age, and their facial features are somewhat similar. If you have never seen them, they might be confused."

Mr. Luo straightened up, as if he had been enlightened——

Yes, why can't Fosang be allowed to marry Amiao instead?

-

"What are the girl's next plans?"

Jiao Xing glanced at the girl who was quietly leaning on the couch reading a book, looking a little worried.

"Plan?" Jiang Fusang put down the book in his hand and turned to look out the window.

There is a weeping crabapple outside the window, and its flowers and buds are clustered into a tree, which is bright and charming. A copper birdcage hangs on the horizontal branch under the tree, which is extremely exquisite. There is a bird in it, with four colors all over its body

Feathers, red crown, green back, purple breast and yellow body, extremely beautiful and very rare.

This bird was raised by Jiang Fusang, and she gave it a nickname of Jiujiu. She even took it with her when she got married, and of course he returned to the Jiang family with her.

Chirping seems to be fascinated by the spring scenery, jumping up and down, chirping sweetly, and people who hear it are also in a good mood.

"Let's see what uncle and aunt's plans are first." He said in a nonchalant tone.

"Slave, I heard," Jiao Xing said with some hesitation, "that the clan plans to send you, girl, to Tangdi Temple."

Jiang Fosang raised his eyebrows slightly, then lowered them, as if he was not surprised at all - the method of boiling the soup to stop it boiling was too slow, after all, it was better to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron to save time.

"Girl!" Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Jiao Xing became anxious, "Are you really going to let them handle it?"

“Tangdi Temple is also good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.”

"Then, that girl, no longer cares about the Jiang family?"

"Jiang family..."

Although Jiang Fusang was born in Luoyi, he actually grew up in Jingling.

She was less than two years old when the war broke out, and she was only three years old when she settled in Jingling.

Although she was a witness to the unprecedented chaos, she did not remember the scene of the war, let alone the hardships on the way to escape. She had no idea of ​​the difficulties in the establishment of the new dynasty, or the confusion and uneasiness of the people who had left the country.

Even though the Jiang family lost its former glory after crossing south, the aristocratic family is still an aristocratic family. Most of the wealth accumulated over several generations, except for the part lost during the move, is still there. Therefore, she has still lived a wealthy and comfortable life since she was a child.

He had no worries about food and clothing, and had never really experienced the hardships of life before he was sold.

If it's not enough, it's still there.

Her grandmother, uncles and aunts all wanted to revitalize the Jiang family and restore the noble family prestige. As the daughter of the Jiang family, she was deeply influenced by this and took it as her own responsibility.

At that time, she knew very well, and everyone who came from a noble family knew very well - as long as the family exists and is not lost at all, the clan will always be able to rise again. And compared with this, what does personal honor and disgrace mean?

!

Over the next few years, she slowly understood how easy it would be to revive the clan?

The decline of the Jiang family's descendants has long since damaged the foundation, and it is difficult for any of the remaining people to support the family.

So what if we wait ten or twenty years for this half-withered tree to bloom again?

As the teacher said, it will eventually be lost in the long river of history.

It was precisely because she couldn't see this clearly and became obsessed with it that she allowed others to impose shackles on her body.

Today, this obsession no longer exists.

The tribe wanted to drive her out of the Jiang family, which actually suited her. Although Taoism was not a place where she could stay for a long time, it was not a bad idea to make a transition.

After thinking about this, Jiang Fusang said: "Don't wait for others to kick us out. Let's pack our bags early."

The master and servants were cleaning up, when Mrs. Luo came, and her appearance was rare and cheerful.

Jiang Fusang only thought that she came here to inform the clan members of the meeting, but unexpectedly it was not the case.
