Since he came to Beijing, he has been diligent and conscientious and has a good reputation.
I usually leave early and come back late, but it is rare to come back in the afternoon like this.
Meng came out of the inner room with a smile and said, "Isn't the Yamen busy today? It's very hot outside, so I asked them to make tea."
Speaking of undressing her husband personally, Jiang Yinzhi was only in his forties. Although his official position was not high, he had a decent appearance.
This made him unwilling to stay under others for a long time, but he never showed ambition to the outside world and always behaved in a humble and cautious manner.
"There is not much going on in the Yamen today. Besides, I should have taken a rest, so I came back early." Jiang Yinzhi put on his regular clothes and wooden clogs, sat down and drank tea and asked, "How is Hui'er's homework going?"
Jiang Hui was his only son, so Jiang Yinzhi naturally had high hopes for him. He was busy with official duties on weekdays, and Meng was responsible for his daily homework, but he always had to personally supervise and give advice every few days.
Therefore, Jiang Hui is better at homework than his classmates.
"Master, take a rest! It's not too late to check again after dinner." Meng said softly, "Hui'er wrote an article today, which was about the way to be a minister. I saw some amazing words, but some of them are
The place is still not well connected, so I need my master to give me some guidance."
Jiang Yinzhi was very happy after hearing this and said: "I wrote a similar article when I was fifteen, and my husband said that I was enlightened. Hui'er is only thirteen years old this year, and he can write good articles, which shows that he is better than his predecessor."
"
Meng said with a smile: "Don't praise him to his face. Children don't know how to be humble. It's time to be impetuous."
Jiang Yinzhi nodded and said, "I don't care, I just won't praise him."
Meng and Jiang Yinzhi had been married for more than ten years and had never blushed, let alone quarreled.
Jiang Yinzhi was very satisfied with this second wife because Meng had a gentle temperament and always followed her husband. She always asked her husband about his wishes in everything.
The details of food and clothing are even more meticulous, and she is infinitely more gentle and considerate than Jiang Nuan's biological mother, Yu Shengying.
Although Yu Shengying is kind-hearted, she has a quick temper and is straightforward in what she says and does.
Furthermore, Jiang Yinzhi never borrowed help from the Yue family in his official career.
General Yu was extremely upright and refused to speak a word for his son-in-law. As a result, Jiang Yinzhi was sent to be an official in a place as far away as Minzhou, where the people were poor and the water was deep.
Fortunately, he later accepted the Meng family and returned to Beijing through the Meng family's connections, so he managed to survive.
Meng gave birth to children for him and kept his home in order. He was even more concerned about his career and always made suggestions for him. He was a good helper.
After a while, the maid brought the cut watermelon again.
Meng Shidao: "Master, try this melon. My sister-in-law sent it to me."
Jiang Yinzhi said: "You haven't visited your parents' home for a long time."
Meng said: "Who says it's not the case? It's just that I've been busy with Hui'er's borrowing from the library these days and can't think of going back."
Jiang Yinzhi stopped eating the melon and said, "Is that possible?"
Meng sighed: "Mrs. Rong Jinhou said that her second master is not at home, so she can't make the decision, so I have to come back."
It turned out that Jiang Hui had been studying in his uncle's private school since he came to Beijing. As he grew older, Meng and Jiang Yinzhi wanted to find a better school for him.
There are two best private schools in the capital, the Chen family and the Cen family, and many children are enrolled in them through connections.
Meng had always been shrewd and knew that not only would he improve his studies there, but his classmates would be rich or noble, and his connections would also be extremely rare.
However, the Chen Family Private School is taught by the second master Chen Qin personally, and he has the final say in everything. Children who want to enter the school must pass through him first. Anyone with dull qualifications or bad conduct will not be accepted.
Jiang Yinzhi was inevitably a little unhappy and said, "Why don't you go to Cen's house and ask?"
Meng shook his head and said: "I still value the Chen family more. If it doesn't work out, I'll switch to the Cen family!"
Then he added: "Speaking of which, I still have something to discuss with the master."
Jiang Yinzhi said: "You have the final say in everything."
Meng said: "I'm afraid Hui'er will need to increase the number of disciples. It turns out that Mrs. Hong's wife said she wanted to help with the matter. Now that we can't take this path, we should add more."
Jiang Yinzhi couldn't help but sigh and said: "It should be so."
This made him unavoidably dissatisfied with his eldest daughter Jiang Nuan. If she agreed to marry the Hong family, not only would his son Jiang Hui's education be guaranteed, but his career promotion would also be just around the corner.
But this girl, like her mother, had a stupid heart, which made the marriage impossible and completely offended the Hong family.
Seeing Jiang Yinzhi's unkind expression, Meng advised him softly: "Master, please don't get angry. This matter has passed. Let's not mention it again. It was all my own poor planning."
Jiang Yinzhi said: "It's none of your business. It's all because that girl is ignorant, and that woman is really hateful. She should have been sent away a long time ago."
"Although they are wrong, we still have to take care of our face." Meng advised, "We are fine no matter what, the key is that the master's dignity cannot be damaged. I just have to be more patient, it doesn't matter."
After Jiang Yinzhi heard this, he couldn't help but was moved and held his wife's hand and said: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
When Meng was about to speak, she heard someone coming in from outside, and there was crying, which sounded like Jiang Qing's voice.
I quickly asked what was going on.
At this moment, Jiang Qing came in from the outside crying, and when she saw Meng, she rushed towards her.
Meng couldn't help but panic, and even Jiang Yinzhi became anxious and asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Qing cried and said: "It's all my good sister! It has completely disgraced our family. I will never go out from now on!"
Mengshi wondered: "Didn't An Nuan come back with you? What happened?"
Jiang Qing's maid Xiaodie knelt down and replied: "Master and Madam, today we went to Qingping Lake for a swim. We, the eldest lady, didn't know what happened. First, we pushed the little Marquis of the clan into the lake, and then again
He took action with the fourth lady of Duke Xinyong's residence, and finally alerted Duke Huo."
"I tried my best to persuade her, but instead of apologizing, she took on a fight-to-end attitude, causing Miss Cui to vent all her anger on me and steal my meal." Jiang Qing stamped her feet.
She cried, "This is great, I don't know how many people I have offended. She and Miss Cui openly challenged her, and the Yang family, the Wu family, and the Zhang family have all been at odds with us since then."
Meng and Jiang Yinzhi were naturally frightened after hearing this, and hurriedly asked: "No one was hurt, right? Is the young Marquis okay?"
"Fortunately, the weather was hot and we were rescued in time," Jiang Qing's tone calmed down for a moment, then became excited again, "But so what?! Letting others be humiliated in front of everyone, isn't this going to kill our whole family?!"
"Where is that evildoer?! Was she taken away by the government?! Or was she beaten to death?!" Jiang Yinzhi was so angry that he hung from the corners of his eyes.
"She? She took advantage of the chaos and ran away, leaving a lot of mess behind." Jiang Qing sneered, "And she also took the car of the broomstick from the Cen family. I was afraid that if someone said a nice word about our family, I would be embarrassed in the future.
People."
As he spoke, he lay on his mother's shoulder and cried loudly.
