One hundred and fortieth eight chapters to be married
"The tenth day of May is a good day for getting married, and there is still half a month to prepare. What do you think, the third child, Miaoya?"
After seeing off the happy guests, Mrs. Zhang went into the house and looked through the almanac. Now she came out with a happy face, pointing to the date on it and asking them.
Jiang Miao had no objection. She still had time to embroider the wedding dress in half a month.
"I listen to my mother."
"Hey, where is the third child?"
Seeing that Jiang Miao agreed, Mrs. Zhang turned around and asked Shen Yanqing again.
"Mom, Miaoya..." Shen Yanqing looked at the expectant eyes of the two of them and spoke in a low voice with a dry throat.
"The emperor only gave me ten days of family leave, and I will take office soon."
"Take office? Has the emperor sent an official to you?"
Mrs. Zhang grasped the key point of his words and asked excitedly.
"The third child is still promising. He has just passed the top exam and became an official. What kind of official is he? Is he in the capital?"
Mrs. Zhang asked a lot of questions in succession, and the rest of the Shen family also looked at him expectantly.
Shen Yanqing licked his dry lips and said, "He is the county magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture."
"Zhenjiang Mansion?"
Mrs. Zhang's face instantly turned pale and she screamed uncontrollably.
"Didn't there be a riot in Zhenjiang Prefecture and the county magistrates ran away? How could there be so many people in the court sending you?"
This is not being an official, this is going to die!
Mrs. Zhang's joy was completely gone now. She slumped down on the chair and made a quiet sound.
"If we don't do it right for this top pick, if we don't do it right, they are all mobs. If you are not careful, you will lose your life..."
Jiang Miao was also a little panicked. In the original book, the famine had already passed when Shen Yanqing won the first prize in the exam, so he was not sent down by the emperor at all. Moreover, the heroine fell in love with him at first sight and asked Prime Minister Liu to arrange Shen Yanqing in the Hanlin Academy, so in the original book The male protagonist in the book has a smooth official career, rising to the rank of chief minister along the way.
But four years in advance, all routes have been disrupted. Jiang Miao's mind went blank. Without her intervention, Shen Yanqing would not have to go to Zhenjiang Prefecture to be the county magistrate. He would be helpless in such a dangerous place. Wouldn't it be a good idea to die if you go to a scholar who has great power?
Shen Yanqing couldn't bear to see the worried expressions of Mrs. Zhang and Jiang Miao, so he smiled reassuringly.
"The emperor sent me there for the purpose of gaining experience. Rather than waiting for opportunities in the Hanlin Academy, it is better to go to the local area and do some actual achievements. I also want to obtain the honor to benefit the people and serve the court. Isn't this an opportunity to show off my talents? Parents don't need it. Worry about me, my son will take care of himself."
"Hey, what about your wedding? I can't make it in just a few days!"
Mrs. Zhang was worried that although it was a double happiness, the current development was completely different from what she thought. How could she be happy?
"How about we wait until the matter in Zhenjiang Mansion is settled before we get married?"
Shen Yanqing also felt that the decision to get married was hasty. Zhenjiang Mansion is now in chaos, and it will take a lot of time to completely resolve it. Besides, if something happens to him, Jiang Miao will be left as a widow. It is better not to have a name now. If he can come back, he will marry her. If he can't come back, Jiang Miao can marry someone else.
"No, get married now!"
Jiang Miao's tone was firm. She had something to do with the development of the matter to this point. Without her, Shen Yanqing would not have encountered these things.
"After we get married, my husband and I will go to Zhenjiang Mansion together."
"Miaoya!"
Shen Yanqing was horrified, "Do you know how dangerous it is there?"
"I'm not afraid as long as my husband is here."
Jiang Miao did not insist on following regardless of the danger. There were guards in Zhenjiang Prefecture. The mob was quickly controlled in the original book, so Shen Yanqing had to face disaster relief. The three-year famine was the most difficult problem. Yes, Jiang Miao has now planted potatoes and sweet potatoes. These high-yielding food crops can be promoted in Zhenjiang Prefecture to help people get rid of hunger as soon as possible.
"This is not the time for joking and I will not agree to it."
Shen Yanqing himself was willing to take risks, but he was reluctant to let Jiang Miao take any risks, so he refused to agree to anything.
Jiang Miao was determined to follow her. She asked Mrs. Zhang to prepare things for the wedding. It was too late to embroider the wedding dress, so Jiang Miao went to Jinxiu Pavilion to buy the finished products.
Shopkeeper Qin knew that she was getting married, so he specially took out the treasure in the shop.
"The material of this wedding dress is high-quality Shu brocade, the red color is authentic and majestic, and it was made by an embroiderer in the capital. Look, the phoenix is ​​beautifully embroidered, and the eyes are just like real ones."
Shopkeeper Qin showed Jiang Miao the phoenix on her wedding dress. As expected, the embroidery was exquisite. The feathers of the phoenix were embroidered with silk threads of hundreds of colors and shone faintly in the sunlight. Jiang Miao fell in love with it at first sight.
"I have been reluctant to sell it for so many years. I feel in my heart that no one is worthy of it." Shopkeeper Qin caressed it lovingly, like caressing her own child. After seeing enough, she handed the wedding dress to Jiang Miao with a smile on her face. Smiling happily.
"Ms. Jiang has a peerless appearance and outstanding temperament. This wedding dress is a perfect match. I will give it to you today as a wedding gift."
"How did this happen?"
Jiang Miao didn't want to take advantage of her and refused.
"I like this wedding dress very much. If you give me a price, I will buy it."
"Hahaha, Mrs. Jiang, why are you being polite to me? I also want to be happy with you getting married. Besides, you don't like the other things in the shop. There is no use for me to keep this wedding dress. I might as well give it to you. You If you really feel sorry for yourself, just make more fragrant beads and you can earn back the money."
Shopkeeper Qin smiled heartily. She admired Jiang Miao's personality and ability. Guangxiangzhu earned her enough money to buy several wedding dresses, so she was not so stingy.
Jiang Miao was convinced by her and was willing to accept it.
"OK."
In addition to the wedding dress, she also bought other things, such as small items such as handkerchiefs, sachets, and some clothes for herself and Shen Yanqing. They were going to Zhenjiang Mansion soon, and she didn't know where it was now. Whatever the situation is, it is definitely a good idea to prepare more supplies.
Shopkeeper Qin knew that she was going to Zhenjiang Mansion, so he gave her two more pieces of fabric.
"It's very messy over there right now, and it might be hard to buy things. If you bring more things, you can still make them yourself if you don't have any clothes or socks. You must take care of yourself when you go there."
"Yes, I will. When everything is settled over there, I will make the fragrant beads and have them delivered."
Zhenjiang Mansion is only a day's journey from Furong Town, and it's easy to get back and forth. If there were no riots, it would be a good place to be an official. However, the future is uncertain now, and no one knows what they will encounter.
"good."
Shopkeeper Qin squeezed Jiang Miao's hand tightly, with worry and reluctance in her eyes. Although she had not gotten along with Jiang Miao for a short time, Shopkeeper Qin had long regarded her as his sister.
"If there is anything you need help with, you must tell me. Although I don't have much ability, I will do my best if I can help."
