Chapter 117 Is our Zhiyue not good enough for Ou Yangming?
It's just that the one on the table doesn't seem to be Jiang Zhiyue's original one.
Ouyang Ming's heart suddenly sounded alarm, and he asked seemingly casually: "That hairpin... why did you buy two identical hairpins?'
Jiang Zhiyue followed his gaze and saw the wooden hairpin.
She casually explained the origin of the wooden hairpin.
Ouyang Ming saw no other emotions on her face and felt slightly relieved.
But when he thought of the way the eldest son of the Mu family looked at Jiang Zhiyue when they were in the Mu Mansion, Ouyang Ming felt a little angry.
Ouyang Ming seemed to be very busy. During the few days he was at Jiang's house, he kept seeing Li Da or Li Wen coming to see him.
On the afternoon of the third day, he said goodbye to the Jiang family again and left.
But when he left, he tried every possible means to take away the wooden hairpin that Bai Mingxi gave to Jiang Zhiyue.
During the two days that Ouyang Ming was here, the Jiang family did not rest.
Jiang Yuchao took several members of the Jiang family, Wang Hao, and Ming Yixi to the town to inquire about the school.
With the current talents of Jiang Dalang, Jiang Erlang and Wang Hao, they can already give it a try.
However, in the Wu Dynasty, if you want to take the imperial examination, you must be recommended by the master of the school, so the three of them still have to enter the school first, and the master will recommend them to participate in the college examination after they feel that their qualifications are acceptable.
The remaining Sanlang, Shilang, Wulang, Liulang, Ming Yixi, and the Jiang family also decided to send them to the school.
Jiang Yuchao also planned to ask if there was a shortage of teachers in the town's schools, so that he could continue his old job to increase his family's income.
And their trip went very smoothly. One of the masters in a school in the town happened to have something to do at home, and he stayed after the other masters took the exams from Jiang Yuchao.
It would be easy for Jiang Dalang and the others to stay.
It's just that you still have to take a test and divide your classes into different classes.
The school is divided into four classes: A, B, C and D. Only students in Class A can be recommended to participate in the college examination. In addition, Class B and Class C are students who are already children but are not qualified to participate in the college examination.
Class Ding is a class that does not even meet the standard of being a child.
Jiang Dalang, Jiang Erlang and Wang Hao were all assigned to Class A.
As for the other boys, Shiro and Ming Yixi were assigned to Class B, and Sanlang, Wulang and Liulang were assigned to Class C.
There are Jiang Yuchao and Bai Yifeng teaching at home, but they were not assigned to Class D.
It's just that Saburo was not convinced that he could only be assigned to the same class as Goro and Rokuro.
…
Jiang Yuchao went to town and became a wife, and several boys from the Jiang family also went to school.
A big stone that has fallen into the hearts of everyone in the Jiang family has finally fallen to the ground.
The fact that the Jiang family sent all seven of their children to school at once shocked everyone else. Even in the school with the lowest concentration in the town, a person has to pay five taels of silver for half a year.
And more families select the child who is considered to have the greatest potential, and it takes the whole family to support one child in school.
Jiang Yuchao was also like this at the beginning.
It is precisely this kind of behavior of the Jiang family that makes everyone more enthusiastic about the Jiang family.
As for what the passion was, those people focused their attention on Erlang, the eldest son of the Jiang family, Wang Hao, and Jiang Zhiyue.
Matchmaker Wang came several times, and each time she would praise a few men or women of the right age.
The implication behind the words is that the Jiang family should take some time to let these juniors meet and see if they can get along with each other.
After all, Erlang and Wang Hao, the eldest son of the Jiang family, go to school in the town every day. If they want to meet and get married, they have to wait until they take a break.
At first, everyone thought that the Zhang family could not be found, so Zhang Xiaoyan's marriage was included in the list. However, since Zhang Xiaoyan has returned to the Zhang family, it is naturally out of their control.
The men of the right age mentioned by matchmaker Wang all fell in love with Jiang Zhiyue. Regarding this, Jiang Zhiyue could only use four words to express her feelings.
That is: take the trouble!
In the past few days, she was perfecting the plan to set up a factory and was extremely busy.
But the matchmaker who comes to her house all day long always takes her out to look her over, and then tells her in detail which man is good and how compatible he is with her.
They were nothing more than complimentary words, but Jiang Zhiyue couldn't bear it when she had to go out and be looked at several times a day.
What's more, she had never planned to get married so early.
In future generations, when she is just entering high school at this age, there is no need to consider this.
Now that she has a career in mind, it is even less possible for her to find a husband to keep her captive.
Because of the limitations of the times, Jiang Zhiyue understood deeply that even if the Jiang family was lenient in their treatment of her, it did not mean that other people could accept a bride who was not willing to stay at home to raise her husband and raise her children and go out to pursue a career.
Jiang Yuchao, as the person who supports Jiang Zhiyuexiang's marriage the most, would ask about the situation every night when he came back, and would know from Zhang's mouth who the men were, and then pick and choose the character and knowledge of those men.
That look made her want to choose the best husband for Jiang Zhiyue.
That evening, just as Jiang Yuchao was asking Zhang about the men of suitable age mentioned by the matchmakers during the day, Jiang Zhiyue finally couldn't help but interrupt him.
She muttered dissatisfiedly: "Dad, I'm only seventeen years old. I'm not in a hurry to see each other. You can just settle the matter between the eldest brother and the second brother first."
Jiang Yuchao looked at her and said, "Why aren't you in a hurry? She will be eighteen in a few months. How can a girl of that age not decide on a marriage?"
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Jiang Yuchao, who was speaking decisively.
In the past, when they were in Jiangjiacun, they would show Zhi Yuexiang to her husband's family, but Jiang Yuchao was the one who disagreed the most, saying that it would be fine if the woman stayed for a few more years.
Now he is the most urgent.
She smiled and smoothed things over between the father and daughter: "I'll let the matchmaker look at each other first. If there's someone I like, I'll make a decision first. If I don't, don't worry."
Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yuchao, father and daughter, argued about this matter for a long time, and neither of them wanted to let go.
In the end, we can only follow the method mentioned by Zhang.
It's just up to her whether she wants to settle or not, you can't force her.
After saying this, Jiang Zhiyue left their house angrily.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Jiang Yuchao complainingly and said strangely: "It's better now, let's get rid of Zhiyue's anger."
Jiang Yu said harshly to the dead duck: "Humph, why are you so angry with her? She still wants to never get married!"
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, you, the one who hates Zhiyue the most is you."
Zhang thought about it and could only think of one reason. She asked in confusion: "Are you worried about Xiao Ming's child?"
Jiang Yuchao glanced at Mr. Zhang and sighed, shaking his head.
Mrs. Zhang really liked Ouyang Ming. Seeing that Jiang Yuchao didn't speak, she could only continue: "I think Xiao Ming is a pretty good kid and he gets along well with our family. I don't know why you don't like him."
Jiang Yuchao sighed again and finally spoke.
"You also know his identity. It's okay for us to interact with him in private now. If Zhiyue is with him, have you thought about the consequences?"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she also fell silent.
She was silent for a while, then hesitantly answered: "Do you think that Zhiyue is not good enough for Xiao Ming's child? But I don't seem to care about that child."
Jiang Yuchao rubbed his forehead and explained: "It's not that I think Zhiyue is not worthy of him. You haven't thought about why he stays here and doesn't return to the capital now that he is the heir to the throne."
Zhang was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect it.
However, after Jiang Yuchao's reminder, she remembered the things related to Ouyang Ming.
When Chu Zhiyue picked him up, he was covered in wounds. Officers and soldiers searched for him in several places along the way, but he did not go back.
Jiang Yuchao saw that she seemed to have come to her senses, and lowered her voice to explain.
"The current situation is turbulent. Not only are we common people unsettled, but we haven't heard that the emperor has any plans to establish a heir apparent. Can those princes not want to sit in that position?"
Jiang Yuchao pointed at it with his finger as he spoke, his voice getting lower and lower.
He continued: "That boy Ouyang Ming is the son of a king with a different surname in our Wu Dynasty. Since he is unwilling to go back, the situation must be unfavorable to him after he returns, so he has to hide outside and fight for a chance of survival."
"If we, Zhiyue, set our minds on him, we can't say whether things will be better in the future."
Zhang's voice was completely silent. She didn't know as much about this as Jiang Yuchao, but she felt that what he said did make sense.
She muttered: "I can't control it. Zhiyue is unwilling and cannot force her to marry."
