Everyone knows that the third daughter of the Jia family is a thorny rose.
Beautiful, capable, but prickly.
Although she was only the illegitimate daughter of the second branch of the Rongguo Mansion, her grandmother was still alive, her uncle loved her, and even the people in the Ningguo Mansion next door treated her like a treasure.
Therefore, even though no one from the second house was in the court, when she wanted to propose marriage, matchmakers still came to the threshold of Rongguo Mansion.
"I think this Anshun Marquis Mansion is very good."
When Aunt Zhao heard that the Anshun Marquis's Mansion came to propose marriage, she was so happy that her teeth were not visible. "Aunt heard that their eldest son is a sickly child. In the future, won't all the people in this mansion belong to the second wife?"
"What nonsense is Auntie talking about?"
Why didn't my second sister marry a military commander? Of course, it was because it was not suitable for their family to have too deep a relationship with the military.
Tanchun already knew her future.
"Although my father and mother are gone, I still have my grandmother and uncle. My marriage... please don't worry about it."
Why did Anshun Marquis Mansion look for her?
Of course, it’s because the first wife was born to the original wife.
The stepmother wanted to use the Jia family to grab the throne for her son.
She was disdainful of such things, let alone her aunt and the others.
"How can I just ignore it?" Aunt Zhao said anxiously, "Master has gone to teach at the clan school and won't take the civil service exam. Baoyu still has no future. If you don't find him a good husband, your brother will..."
"Aunt, my son will be an examiner."
Jia Huan interrupted his mother and said, "Third sister, I will support you from now on."
My eldest brother is very knowledgeable.
The gentlemen who passed the imperial examination this year all said that as long as big brother works hard, he will definitely get a second-class Jinshi, if not a first-class one.
But my brother’s temper…
Jia Huan also felt that it was safer for his elder brother to teach.
At least you can live longer.
His father and stepmother died early, and although his uncle had never lacked him in any way, Jia Huan knew from a young age that he had his eldest brother to rely on.
The old lady looked down on him.
Only his eldest brother cared about his studies.
"Then Anshun Marquis Mansion is not a good place."
Jia Huan said: "The elders will definitely not agree."
"That……"
Aunt Zhao looked at her two children, her chest heaving a few times, and suppressed her anger and asked, "Where is the Baoling Marquis's Mansion?"
"Will you give a dowry when you get married?"
Tanchun was speechless.
The old lady wanted her to marry him.
It was the eldest brother and eldest sister who came back, and the second sister who wrote back, who helped her to hold on.
"Auntie, please stop worrying about me, okay?"
Her mother only recognizes the title.
Don't even think about why others like her.
Although Tanchun didn't think she was inferior to others in any way, the military was never within her consideration.
"…Who am I doing this for?"
Aunt Zhao was very sad. She was thinking only of her daughter, but her daughter did not appreciate it and her son also opposed it.
"I know you are doing this for my own good, but my marriage is really not as simple as you think."
How could Tanchun not feel sad for their second wife?
But she was reluctant to force her elder brother to take the exam.
My second brother Baoyu...
Because of the jade that the stepmother mentioned, the second brother had said that he would take the imperial examination, but not now, and even if he passed the examination, he did not plan to enter the officialdom.
He wanted to go to Rakshasa and England.
In order to go there, he and his cousin Lin taught themselves the language.
Sometimes Tanchun deeply hated herself for not being a man. If she were a man, she would have passed the imperial examination for the second wife earlier and saved her aunt from worrying all day long.
However, she is not a man and she doesn't really want to get married.
Tanchun actually wanted to be like Baochai in the palace and make a career of her own.
Unfortunately, she was born in a noble family, her grandmother was still alive, her uncle and aunt were kind, and her eldest aunt and brother and sister-in-law from the next room didn't say anything to her.
Even if she wanted to rebel, she had to consider them.
"The old lady and uncle will think about me. They will only do what's best for me."
Although the old lady was a little selfish, she also loved her.
What's more, there is the East Palace.
The fourth sister also contributed to the failure of the marriage at the Baoling Marquis's Mansion.
Tanchun heard that she cried in front of her aunt.
When the old lady heard that the fourth sister was crying, she said that the marriage should be cancelled when the eldest sister came home again.
It seems that the aunt-in-law did not show up here, but Tanchun knew that she also showed up.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so smooth for just a few youngsters like them.
Over the years, most of her money has been invested in Cousin Min's business. When Sister Bao first started the caravan, she also invested with everyone else. Year after year, her assets have quadrupled.
However, the property that Huan'er asked her aunt to manage is still the same as before.
Although there is a surplus of one or two hundred yuan every year, my aunt only saves it.
Tanchun had tried to persuade her aunt to do so, but since her aunt refused, there was nothing she could do.
If Cousin Min wants to invest again now, he has no shortage of money. Sister Bao is working for the Queen Mother and has no need for money from outside.
"Okay, okay, I can't control you anymore."
Aunt Zhao was very frustrated. She went to complain to her old sister Aunt Zhou. Jia Huan did not chase her. He stood there and said, "Sister, don't worry about home. I'm here for you."
The Lang Ge'er at my eldest brother's place won't be bad either.
"If someone proposes marriage to you again, it's fine as long as you like it."
The eldest sister married well and can come back from time to time. Her brother-in-law also treats them as his own brothers and sisters.
Although my second sister married far away, her life was not bad. Lord Yu and Madam Yu both wrote to her personally to praise her.
Among the four sisters in the two families, only his elder sister is more criticized for her background.
In fact, Jia Huan felt more sorry for her.
"Aunt is talking nonsense, and you are talking nonsense too."
What do you mean, as long as she likes it? Whoever she knows is who! "Okay, okay, don't worry about me, go see your aunt!"
Tanchun pushed her brother away.
Jia Huan had no choice but to ask Ming Er to come back later.
Tanchun had a headache, so she stood in front of the large blue and white porcelain vat and watched the fish playing inside.
Whenever she was upset or overstrained her eyes, she would come over to watch the little fish play.
"girl!"
The maid came over in a hurry, "The old lady asked you to come over. The great grandmother's aunt and two sisters are here."
"Has the elder sister-in-law passed by yet?"
"It was my great grandmother who came here with me."
Tanchun hurriedly took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid, wiped her hands, and went to the front yard.
Sure enough, there was laughter and joy in Lady Jia's room.
Tanchun paid her respects to the elders, and then met Li Wen and Li Qi and talked for a long time before she took the two sisters to the back chamber to settle down.
Aunt Li came to Beijing two years ago and now lives in her eldest sister-in-law's home.
However, the two sides often visit each other because of my sister-in-law.
The old lady loved her eldest sister-in-law and liked girls, so she often let them live with her.
Several people don't know how familiar they are with each other.
"Third sister, guess who we met when we came here today?"
"who?"
"The Xue family's younger sister, Baoqin, is getting married."
"With Mei Hanlin's family?"
"no!"
Li Qi shook her head. "The Mei family has been pretending not to know that they have come to Beijing."
They originally came to Beijing by boat together.
"Sister Bao in the palace directly asked the first and second masters of the Xue family to cancel their engagement. She is now marrying this year's new Jinshi. I heard that the emperor also selected him to enter the Hanlin Academy."
Huh? That's really embarrassing.
Tanchun couldn't help but smile. (End of this chapter)
