"Nai, do you have something to say? What happened at home? It's so difficult!" Jiang Xiaohua saw that her grandma's face was not good, so she leaned forward slightly and asked.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her precious granddaughter and sighed softly: "After your aunt came back this morning and found out about the business you wanted to do, she dragged your uncle and asked her everything in detail, and then looked at it again.
I picked up tree bark and wormwood stalks, then went out and went back to my parents' house. Your uncle said that little thing, he said everything! It really pissed me off! Besides, your third aunt is a shrewd person in the first place.
Your eldest aunt keeps dragging your uncle to ask questions, and she is also listening nearby. Can she have no idea? It's just because her mother's family is not in this village, so they are far away."
As she spoke, the old lady sighed again: "It's all my fault. I'm too spoiled to them!"
"Nai, don't say that. It's a blessing for my eldest aunt and my third aunt to meet a mother-in-law like you! It's hard to meet a mother-in-law like you even with a lantern!"
"You have such a clever mouth! You are so sweet!" Old Mrs. Jiang was so happy when her little granddaughter said it, her face was smiling.
"Mistress, I'm telling the truth. You don't know how many girls in the village want to marry into our Jiang family! They want to be your granddaughter-in-law!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was in a good mood and laughed out loud: "Speaking of the marriage of your brothers, let alone your grandfather and me, even your uncles can't be your brothers.
Lord!"
Jiang Xiaohua suddenly became jealous and quickly asked: "Why is this? Don't they all say 'the parents order the matchmaker?'"
Mrs. Jiang looked into the little girl's curious eyes and asked, "What about you? If you were promised to Wang Zhijiang, the grandson of the old Wangtou family, would you be happy?"
Old Mrs. Jiang asked Jiang Xiaohua with a smile, but the temptation was true.
If his sweet granddaughter refuses, then naturally the marriage cannot be agreed.
Everything must be done with your granddaughter first.
Jiang Xiaohua blinked lightly and said with a smile: "Mistress, it's a little too early to ask this! I haven't even got a haircut yet! Besides, I am now focused on leading my family on the road to getting rich. I guess the business
Once it is done, I will be very busy. Let’s wait and discuss the matter of marriage! Let’s go back and talk about it, big brother!”
Before Mrs. Jiang's laughter ended, she patted Jiang Xiaohua's hand and said with a smile: "Little clever guy, I think you haven't fallen in love with your brother Zhijiang, right?"
Cough! Cough! Cough!
"Nai, brother Zhijiang is a very nice person, but... isn't it just because of my illness? I have to give him some time to adapt and get along with each other. If I grow up in the next year, I feel that he will be the half of my life.
If I can't live without him, and if I don't marry him, then I will definitely agree to marry him, but... if I don't feel that way, and I feel unwilling to marry him, what will I do when the time comes! If my life is not going well, if I continue to make trouble
To have a peaceful and divorced future..."
"Bah, bah, bah, bah! You stinky little girl, what are you talking about? At such a young age, there is nothing to be reconciled with!"
"Milk, I only said it once, but you said it twice!" Jiang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips happily.
"You're still laughing! Who do you blame?"
"Blame me! Blame me! I blame my granddaughter for not being able to speak. Mom, don't be angry! Let's talk about the eldest brother. The eldest brother also has his own ideas about marriage?"
Mrs. Jiang snorted softly and glanced at Jiang Xiaohua: "It's almost the same as you! Everyone has his own ideas!"
Jiang Xiaohua looked at Old Mrs. Jiang with a smile: "What did the elder brother say?"
"Your eldest brother told me that we won't discuss marriage until we pass the Jinshi exam!"
"Wow! Brother is so awesome! He has ambition!"
"What do you know? I heard your father say that those who can pass the Jinshi exam are all in their twenties, some only passed the exam in their thirties, and most of them have never passed the exam in their lives. Last time you
When my father came back, he also said that Changning Mansion has not produced a Jinshi for many years. He wanted to take your eldest brother to study in the provincial capital. He said that the chances were better there. However, your eldest brother did not go. Speaking of which, your eldest brother also did the same.
I can’t worry about you, you said that if your eldest brother really has to pass the imperial examination before marrying a wife... wouldn’t this be a delay?"
"Nai, you want to say that it will delay the inheritance of the family line!"
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she raised her hand and tapped Jiang Xiaohua's eyebrows: "You are the only one who knows more! You said you have only recovered from illness for two days, who taught you these words?"
Jiang Xiaohua coughed slightly, smiled, shook her grandma's arm, and said coquettishly: "No one taught me, grandma. It's your granddaughter. I'm smart. I stayed in Yuntang Town for a day, listened to a lot, and saw a lot, so of course I learned it."
A lot! Besides, I think the eldest brother’s idea is right. You see, our Lao Jiang family has a pretty good life in Dalingzi Village. When it comes to marrying the eldest brother, who is willing to nod?
There are many girls, but if you think about it, most of these girls are from households like ours. Of course, I am not deprecating the girls in households, because I am the only one, hehe... But, maybe Big Brother and the others
Such a scholar would like a talented woman like a noble daughter from a noble family! Baby, don’t you think so? If my eldest brother is so good, God will definitely send him a very good girl.”
Jiang Xiaohua paused...
"What you said is not bad. Your eldest brother is really an excellent person. People in the village secretly say that our Lao Jiang family is a bad bamboo that produces good bamboo shoots! The younger ones among you are better than each other. You continue
Say it!" Old Mrs. Jiang gave her little granddaughter a sidelong look, which meant that she was trying to see if you could tell who was ugly.
Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said it.
"Nai, it will be different after my eldest brother passes the Jinshi examination. If he passes the Jinshi examination, he can become an official in the court. After becoming an official in the court, if he wants to marry a wife, he must choose one from a noble girl from aristocratic families. Think about it.
, one is an illiterate woman from the banker's house, and the other is a well-educated, gentle, virtuous, and talented woman who has also studied running a business. She may be able to help the elder brother's career. Baby, you say, leave it to you.
Which one do you choose?"
this……
Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly, she was really thinking carefully about her granddaughter's words.
It seems very reasonable!
If that's the case, it would be better to marry a noble girl from a noble family.
However, how can it be so easy to pass the Jinshi exam?
Jiang Xiaohua knew grandma's worries and said with a smile: "Nai, don't worry about taking the Jinshi exam. I believe that the eldest brother will definitely pass the exam, and the second brother, third brother and fourth brother will all be successful.
, just relax!"
"But what kind of family is it that a spoiled and well-bred daughter is willing to marry into a wealthy family like ours? If your eldest brother really marries a noble daughter from an aristocratic family, wouldn't he be called a son-in-law? This is not good!"
Jiang Xiaohua clicked her tongue: "Hey, our Lao Jiang family has not always been like this. As long as I am here, you can rest assured that within three years, our Lao Jiang family will definitely become one of the richest men in Changning Mansion... by then!"
