Everyone thought that the Tang family would never succeed.
But what was unexpected was that within just three months, the old lady of the Tang family brought her wife and grandson directly to Beijing.
The old man of the Tang family failed to suppress the bandits in Changsha, and it was Jia Daishan who finally solved the problem.
The two were once classmates and had a very good relationship.
Unexpectedly...
When Lady Jia saw that Old Mrs. Tang, who was several years younger than her, had completely white hair, she was deeply saddened.
They had met each other because of a man when they were young.
Now that someone came to ask to marry her granddaughter, it was inevitable that she asked more questions.
I felt even more sympathy for Old Mrs. Tang when I learned that she sold everything she had in Nanyang and moved to the capital with her wife and grandson.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, who would leave their hometown like this when they are old?
Fortunately, his family also had a two-courtyard house in Beijing that they had purchased in their early years.
After moving to the capital, away from those troublesome clansmen, Tang Jiashu's conditions were invisibly raised to a higher level.
Yuanchun will soon go to Annan with Cheng Luo, Yingchun has gone to Nurgandusi and it is not known when she will be able to come back, and Tanchun..., whether it is the old lady or Jia She, no one wants her to marry far away.
Jia Zhu chatted with Tang Jiashu about reading, and after the conversation, he praised him highly.
Of course, it was not enough for them to just praise her. Everyone in the Jia family knew that Shen Ning was very concerned about the girls' marriages, and the information about the Tang family was delivered to her as soon as possible.
"You saw Tang Jiashu from afar, too, right?"
When Tanchun came over to accompany her for a walk, Shen Ning asked her softly, "What do you think?"
"…I don't want to be too far away from home."
Tanchun said, "My eldest brother said that the Tang family cannot survive alone in the capital, so they will rely more on the Jia family. It will be much easier for me to go home in the future."
Jia Zhu told her a lot.
What Tang Jiashu has is a good temper. Once the marriage is settled, he will bring him to the clan school.
This way I will be closer to the Jia family.
But the old lady in their family was not in good health, so Tang Jiashu's official career would probably not be very good at the beginning.
But only by taking steady steps can you achieve steady success.
In this world, there are many talented people who have accumulated a lot of knowledge and are about to make a breakthrough.
The eldest sister went to the south, the second sister went to the north, and the fourth sister would burst into tears whenever she thought of them.
It made her very sad.
Especially after her family arranged a marriage for her recently, her fourth sister often stayed in her room at night.
“…Indeed!”
Chen Ning held Tanchun's hand, but in fact she didn't want her to marry far away.
In the Red Mansion, Tanchun married so far away! She probably never came back in her life.
I miss home, only in my dreams.
But when the dream is over... how sad will it be? "Since the Tang family has moved to the capital, they naturally regard the capital as their home."
There are many official positions available in the capital.
Shen Ning could see that the old lady of the Tang family was probably also afraid and just wanted her grandson to live a safe life.
Since Tanchun is willing, then let her be willing! The marriage is settled.
Aunt Zhao was sad but happy to find that, with the betrothal gift that the man would send and the dowry given by the old lady and the eldest lady of the East Palace, her daughter's dowry would be five thousand taels of silver in cash.
Add to that the farm, shops, houses, etc., and thirty thousand taels would not be enough.
Oh, so many.
When she thought that so many of them were for her daughter, she felt both happy and sad.
The good thing is that these things belong to my daughter and can be passed on to my grandson.
What was bothering her was what to do with her son in the future. The old wine and other things that the wife of the East Mansion had prepared were only for her daughter, not for her son.
Moreover, that man has always favored girls over boys. Even though Mr. Zhen is such a high-ranking official, the silver he has in his hands has never exceeded twenty taels.
She didn’t even give it to her own son, so how could she give it to Huan’er?
Aunt Zhao was depressed to death.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Huan'er is already very good."
Aunt Zhao didn't know how much Aunt Zhou envied her, "Books contain golden houses and beautiful women. The eldest master will never take the examination again, and the second master is not interested in officialdom. As for our second house, we still have to look after Huan'er in the future."
She had no children, but Master Jia Zhu was a well-mannered man and had never let her down in any way over the years.
The second master Baoyu is also a good boy, both talented in literature and martial arts.
The third brother followed his two older brothers and was also very motivated.
Compared with the deceased master, these three people are so much better in Aunt Zhou's eyes.
"He studied hard and practiced martial arts, and later passed the examination to become an official. What else can he do?"
Three thousand taels of silver for a wedding is not a small amount in the capital.
What's more, Huan'er and his family will be able to share the second wife's property in the future.
Although she had not received much education, Aunt Zhou knew that the second branch's property had not declined in the hands of Jia Zhu and his wife. They had supported Min Jianbai and the Xue family's caravans in their early years and had made a lot of money. Even though the businesses of the two families entered a stable period later and the eldest master did not want to share the profits and quickly withdrew his shares, he still made a lot more than when the master was still alive.
"You, don't think so much."
Aunt Zhao was helpless. It was useless for her to think too much! Neither her son nor her daughter would listen to her.
She calmed down, but the Tang family couldn't calm down.
Especially after hearing that Tang Jiashu was getting married into the Rongguo Mansion, the old patriarch and two other clan elders came directly from their hometown to help him preside over the wedding.
Of course, they were accompanied by many men and women of the tribe who were of appropriate age.
Everyone was hoping that one of them would gain the favor of the Jia family.
Even if she is just an ordinary member of the tribe, you can marry her.
only……
Wishes are good, but the reality is...
Old Mrs. Tang is old and Mrs. Tang is in poor health. After finding out the clan’s intentions, the whole family was furious.
Tang Jiashu was worried for a few days, fearing that some scandal would happen again. After obtaining the consent of his grandmother and mother, he went to the Jia family to ask for an audience with his eldest brother-in-law Jia Zhu. With a blushing face, he asked him for a favor. He would lead the Jia family to be more cautious against the Tang family in the subsequent matters of paying the betrothal gift, setting the date for the bride, and welcoming the bride.
Jia Zhu was speechless.
However, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
"You might as well tell this to your third sister directly than to me."
His third sister is a thorn.
The person the two government officials feared most was his third sister.
Because of the third sister, the prices of various purchases for the two mansions dropped several times.
Just in the kitchen area, the two palaces saved more than a thousand taels of silver every year.
"Wait a minute. I'll ask someone to ask her for you."
Jia Zhu has great confidence in his sister.
Tang Jiashu was quite worried. He didn't know how Tanchun, a girl, could resolve the situation in his family.
Anyway, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
However, he couldn't figure it out, but Tanchun went to find Jia Yue decisively, and then the two sisters sent the nanny appointed by the Queen Mother to the Tang family, under the pretext of teaching them the rules.
How many people wanted to ask the royal nanny to teach them the rules but couldn't get them? Now there is one, but it's not quite what they expected.
There are various established practices for walking, talking, smiling, interacting with others, and even holding a cup of tea and taking a sip of water.
It’s simply…
In just a few days, a group of young masters and young ladies of the Tang family were complaining bitterly and dared not think about anything else.
But not daring to do so doesn't mean the nanny will leave.
You have to learn table manners, how to entertain guests, how to dress, and even how to talk properly from scratch.
It is very painful to change the habits formed in childhood.
So Tanchun, who had not yet married into the Tang family, frightened everyone in the Tang family so much that they dared not say a word.
Tang Jiashu looked at it curiously, feeling that a different door had been opened for him by his wife.
From the betrothal gift, asking for the date, welcoming the bride, to entering the bridal chamber, his marriage was smoother than ever before.
Even at the wedding banquet on his wedding day, no one dared to force him to drink.
He excitedly and shyly lifted Tanchun's veil, and felt that his wife was too beautiful to be a human woman. (End of this chapter)
