He was obviously extremely wealthy, but compared to Jiang Shuyue, he seemed much inferior.
She snorted in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, you don't even show respect when you see your elders. You really don't know the rules! You've already started a family and established a career. Your words and actions outside the home reflect our upbringing. Don't bring shame to the Jiang family."
Jiang Shuyue just wanted to laugh: "Grandma said that I have already established a family and a career. I represent the reputation of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion. Grandma doesn't have to worry about being implicated by me."
"you!"
"Ah, what the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan said is right. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Old Madam Jiang doesn't need to worry too much."
The person who spoke was Chu Xiner's mother, Mrs. Chu.
Recently, the Imperial Master often asked her daughter out and sent gifts to show his goodwill, which made her very happy.
She knew that this marriage was facilitated by Jiang Shuyue, so she regarded her as the benefactor of the whole family, and her eyes were full of joy when she looked at Jiang Shuyue.
The others who were close to Mrs. Chu were also very envious of her daughter's good marriage.
Everyone felt that having a good relationship with Jiang Shuyue would also help their children's marriage.
So they all stood up and spoke up for Jiang Shuyue.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so Madam Jiang, please don't worry too much."
"That's right, and I think the young lady is very polite. We all like her very much."
"But then again, although you are the elder, she is not only the legal wife of a first-rank martial marquis, but also has been canonized with an imperial decree. In terms of seniority, the old lady should bow to the young lady."
Old Madam Jiang's face was twisted with anger.
She is the oldest elder in the family, and she has to bow to this little bitch?
How outrageous!
Jiang Shuyue waved her hand: "No, no, we're all acquaintances, let's not play games."
Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Shu Yue is so generous. Come to our house someday. You've become so thin since you got pregnant. It's so pitiful!"
"My hometown sent me some black pork, just the right amount to nourish you!"
Huahua babbled in protest: "Is her eyesight bad? You've been eating and sleeping all day since you got pregnant, and you've already gained 10 pounds."
Jiang Shuyue was so angry: [Shut up! If you can't speak, then don't speak. I have good eyesight!]
"Oh my, the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan has only been married for a short time, and she's already pregnant. Madam Jiang is so lucky!"
"This is your first great-grandson. You must prepare a generous gift."
"Master Jiang has been silent for a long time, but now he is being reused. I think it is also thanks to this child's blessing."
Old Madam Jiang was about to explode.
What a shit blessing! If it weren’t for this jinx, how could her family be so quiet?
The old lady said sarcastically, "Yes, it's really a lucky child. You must be careful with it and don't let anything unexpected happen. Otherwise, not to mention the Marquis of Zhennan, even I won't forgive you!"
Jiang Shuyue: [An old bastard who's been addicted to tobacco cream, with one foot halfway into the pipe, still thinking about not letting me go, he's sick!]
Huahua: [She's ill. Not only does her heart not look good, she also has bone hyperplasia, deformed muscles and bones, and pelvic fluid. She went through menopause before she was thirty, and is aging faster than normal. Her liver has also been acting up lately. Fortunately, she doesn't have hepatitis A or B, otherwise your mother would have been infected.]
Jiang Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she was not like Chen Yongwang.
But she was also very curious: [How much sin did she commit to reach menopause before the age of 30?]
Huahua: [Isn't it normal for her to do evil? She's had some money lately, so she's started lending out her allowance. She's specifically targeting those struggling to make ends meet. In just ten days, two families have already sold their houses. If both families didn't have only one son, they'd probably have to sell their child as well.]
In the homes of high-ranking officials, there is always someone who leaves some money as a stipend.
Although this matter cannot be made public, it is not a very rare thing, nor is it a dirty thing.
But targeting the poor and exploiting them is shameful.
While the old lady was still alive, a circle was unknowingly created with her as the center.
When almost everyone was there, Zhou Yunshen also arrived at the main hall. He took Huahua from her arms and led her hand as they walked to the front row.
Old Madam Jiang followed subconsciously.
Madam Chu exclaimed, "Is Lord Jiang already a first-rank official in the current dynasty?"
“No, no…”
"Then why did you follow? The first three rows are filled with important officials and their families. It's probably not appropriate for you to go through there. It's better to have someone take you to Lord Jiang's seat."
"this……"
Old Madam Jiang looked around and finally saw Mother Jiang.
Just as she was about to follow her, Madam Chu stopped her again: "Madam Jiang is sitting with the old prime minister this time, so she is also in the first three rows. Yours should be... Oh, right, the seventh row. Come, take the old lady over there."
Old Madam Jiang was stunned for a moment.
There are twenty rows in total. From the fifth row onwards, even the faces of the two saints cannot be seen clearly.
She came to the palace just to show off. If she couldn't see clearly, how could she show off when she returned?
Besides, those two bitches were in the first three rows, but she was in the seventh row. Wouldn't it be laughable if this got out?
She stared at Jiang's mother, hoping she could understand what she meant.
Aunt Liu whispered softly, "Madam, the old woman is watching you."
"Why bother with her? I don't want to have anything to do with them today."
"I understand."
Nanny Li's body was originally broader than Madam Jiang's, and she easily blocked the old lady's view.
Seeing that everyone was taking their seats, the palace servants began to urge them to sit down.
Mrs. Jiang sat down reluctantly.
Jiang An came over and saw her face full of resentment. He understood in his heart: "Don't worry, mother. After today, we can also sit in the first three rows."
"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my good son. You must let me vent my anger and teach those two little bitches a lesson!"
Mother Jiang waited patiently for the palace banquet to begin. The new number one scholar Jiang Yuan entered the room, followed by Qin Si and others.
Jiang Shuyue saw that Chen Yongwang was actually hanging in the very next position and was the last one to enter.
Jiang Shuyue: [Strange, isn't Chen Yongwang fourth? Why is he standing so far away?]
Huahua: [This time, apart from the top three, the rest are ranked according to appearance. Chen Yongwang's appearance is just average...]
Jiang Shuyue: [Indeed, among all the students, he ranks among the bottom three, and he can still compete for first place!]
Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter, and Prince Zhong was even fanning himself, hiding his smile behind the fan.
In the past, candidates were ranked according to their rank when taking the imperial examinations and entering the palace to meet the emperor.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows who the rules are targeted at this sudden change.
He looked at the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince also saw him. This was his third time meeting his uncle, and he couldn't figure out Prince Zhong's character.
But his uncle always looked at him strangely, as if he wanted to take off all his clothes.
This feeling is very uncomfortable.
