Jiang Ying died while attempting to lose weight. The moment she opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated as a vicious cannon fodder concubine.
To live a good life, the original owner ...
The old lady’s proposal was very clear. Everything in the Duke’s Mansion, except the position of the Crown Prince, would be divided into three parts and belong to Jiang Yuanyi, Jiang Yuanchen, and Jiang Yuanlang.
And all her treasures were given to Jiang Ying.
"Before, Brother Yi was ill, and the position of Crown Prince had been vacant. Now that he's recovered, Brother Yi is the eldest son, and at such a young age, he's already a third-rank General Dingyuan. He's been designated as Crown Prince. Chen'er, Lang'er, do you two have any objections?"
Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Yuanlang looked at each other and shook their heads decisively.
What's your opinion? It originally belonged to the eldest brother. Even if the eldest brother was not well, they would only help the eldest brother to secure the position of the crown prince.
I never thought about competing with my elder brother.
Especially Jiang Yuanlang, because his two elder brothers had been almost declared useless, some people advised his father to quickly invite him to be the crown prince, to cultivate himself and enter the officialdom, on the one hand to regulate his words and deeds, on the other hand to support the Jiang family's declining status.
But it didn't scare him to death.
Who wants to be a model worker?
Before he knew about this, he would only hang out outside for three to five days at most. But after he found out, he disappeared for half a month or a month, and he couldn't even hide!
It was the same now. When he saw the old lady's arrangements, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his sister Jiang Ying with gratitude.
Thank you sister for giving back the opportunity to be a slave to my brother~
Jiang Yuanyi naturally didn't know that his third brother was thinking this way. He touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Grandma, the throne of the crown prince belongs to me. I don't want the rest. Just divide the share originally intended for me equally among my second, third, and sister."
He was afraid that he would get more and his younger brothers and sisters would get less.
Since your parents are still alive, you should never bring up the issue of dividing the property. This is extremely unfilial.
But his grandmother had talked to him and told him that if he didn't do so, it would be inconvenient to give the share to his younger sister, as Lin Jie'er might cause trouble again.
Instead of giving my sister the illusion of indecision and hurting her feelings, it is better to cut the Gordian knot.
In addition, my father also agreed, so we signed a contract together, asked Prince Yan to witness and sign it, and kept it in the ancestral hall so that no one would know.
In this way, even if someone covets it in the future, it will not be so easy to get it.
Hearing this, the old lady had no objection and only looked at the other two grandchildren, "What about you? Do you agree with what Brother Yi did?
"There's one thing Grandmother hasn't had time to explain clearly, and that's that Chen'er loves reading, so most of the family's calligraphy and painting collections belong to him. As for Lang'er, he's unruly and unruly, so he got more of the shop.
"After all, Grandma has tried to balance things out according to your individual personalities. If anyone really needs more, it's Yingying.
"You three men don't understand that women need these things to make a living even more, because they can't go out and earn it on their own. So what their parents give them is the foundation for their future in their husband's family."
The old lady was an ancient old lady after all, so it was impossible for her to think that Jiang Ying would not marry.
Given the current situation, Jiang Ying is most likely to marry Yan Zhuo.
The Prince's Mansion only has one master, Yan Zhuo, so the staff is simple, but the Prince Qin's Mansion is not simple! The royal family is not simple!
Therefore, she had to think more about Yingying.
She did this openly, without any guilt, and was not afraid to tell her three brothers and Jiang Shang.
After the old lady finished speaking, she thought that even if the three Yuans were not unhappy, they would not be very happy. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuanchen said without thinking, "Grandma, I only want those calligraphy and books. The rest are all for my sister!"
Jiang Yuanlang frowned after hearing this. What did his second brother mean by this? Was he rushing to show his affection to his younger sister?
Scheming! Damn it!
Do you think he is not right?
So, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Mine, you don't have to keep anything, you can give it all to your sister. That is, my dear sister, can you give me one hundred taels a month... no, fifty taels for living expenses?"
Jiang Ying, “…”
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Yuanyi, still unwilling to be lonely, slammed his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl and said, "Fine, I don't want it either! Dad, how about you ask the emperor for permission to let a woman be the crown prince? Let my sister be the first female crown prince of Nanzhao!"
Good things represent treasures. The Jiang family has three sons but only one daughter, so she is very precious!
So, is there anything wrong with giving baby’s things to baby’s sister?
Hearing this, the other two Yuans actually thought, wow, what the eldest brother said seems to make sense, so they all looked at Jiang Shang with expectant eyes.
Jiang Shang, “…”
How could he give birth to three such unprincipled sons!
What else can they do besides pampering their sister unconditionally?
She said sullenly, "I dare not say anything about such a treasonous thing. If you dare, go by yourselves. Or mother can go too. You and the Empress Dowager have a history, and the Emperor always listens to her. Maybe we can overturn this old system."
Old lady, “…”
"You're all obsessed, aren't you? What nonsense are you talking about! What's the point of my Yingying being a female crown prince? What's so delicious or fun about that? You're even asking an old woman like me to go and sell my face and be stupid. I won't go! Quickly give up this unreliable idea!"
Jiang Shang was secretly delighted, hehe, see, his mother is not completely crazy yet, the burden of supporting the family should be done by her son.
Jiang Yuanchen: My sister is as weak as I am. She can’t do anything, not even a little bit.
Jiang Yuanlang: It turns out that the prince is not a human being, so let’s give it to the eldest brother!
Jiang Yuanyi: I was offended...
Yan Zhuo: I don't seem to have much of a sense of existence? That won't do. If I don't have a sense of existence, I have to bite the bullet and find some!
"Ahem, Madam, your opinion is very wise, and I agree. Besides, Ying'er has borne me children, and I don't think I've ever said anything. So, let's do as Madam did and give Yuhui Cottage and the thousands of acres of forest nearby to Yingying."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table focused their attention on him.
Yan Zhuo immediately puffed out his chest without leaving any trace, tilted his head to look at Jiang Ying, and said gently, "Do you still like it? If not, let's change it."
Jiang Ying stared blankly, his tongue tied. "No, the prince's betrothal gift hasn't been taken back yet."
"Since the engagement is already in place, why should a betrothal gift be accepted? Besides, there's no conflict between a betrothal gift and a gift."
Jiang Ying couldn't find any rebuttal to this answer. She closed her eyes and looked to the other side, "Grandma, what about the dowry..."
But she didn't even have the chance to finish her words. Lian waved her hand forcefully, "Alright, alright, I'm tired of talking so much. Now that's settled!"
Jiang Ying.
My body felt inexplicably heavy, as if I were carrying a mountain of gold on my back.
Fortunately, the grandmother finally did not agree to the three brothers' request and gave them their share as well, otherwise she would really worry about being kidnapped when she went out.
Everyone at the table was chatting happily and eating in a relaxed manner, and they unconsciously forgot about Xiao Yanzhi.
The child drank enough milk, his arms and legs spread out, his mind blank, and his excitement slowed down:
[Wow, great, great, great! A female prince would be so kind! When the time comes, marry a few more fathers and let the scumbag father be your concubine. Isn't that what mother said about the emancipated serfs singing songs?]
Jiang Ying's mind went numb and he glanced at Yan Zhuo cautiously.
Once again, she was thankful that she was the only one who could hear her son's thoughts.
Otherwise, how can we survive?
