Chapter 500 Jiang Quan’s Thoughts
Teng Wenfu thought to himself, I am wrong now, do you want to change it?
It can't be changed.
The emperor still has deep feelings for the late queen.
So after Teng Wenfu thought about it, he was cautious and avoided the important issues: "Your Majesty, I think the martial arts master of Long Tao Pavilion might not be a good person."
If the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's laziness.
If there are no results, it’s of course the master’s fault.
"But there's really nothing we can do. After all, they are all grandchildren of the emperor. We can't beat or scold them, and we're afraid of them getting hurt," said Teng Wenfu.
After all, not everyone is as fierce as Jiang Yi, who will beat someone up if he doesn't like them.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Since they are not good at teaching, then let the virtuous take the position. Let Jiang Yi choose someone, and let them and his wife take good care of Long Tao Hall for me."
What he needs are obedient children and grandchildren, but not cowards.
So, Jiang Yi happily got the new position.
This "husband-and-wife shop" is now open.
The emperor also asked about the girls' school.
The emperor was deeply moved when he heard that Daya stayed in the capital and continued to run the school, and that the people who had followed Lu Qinniang before were also properly resettled and continued to work in the shop.
"Marrying a good wife brings prosperity to three generations. These daughters are also the merits of abandoning their mother. By the way, Teng Wenfu, has Xiao Yan arrived in Qiongzhou now?"
"Your Majesty, according to the date, it should be about time, but the news will probably be delayed by a month."
Even though we can gallop a horse for 800 miles at a time, we can actually travel at most 500 miles a day.
It takes half a month to travel from the capital to Qiongzhou, a distance of 7,000 miles.
And since it wasn't an emergency military situation, no one would run that fast.
"I originally wanted Qi Niang to stay." The emperor sighed, "But thinking about it later, I don't think Lu Jin will be as devoted to her as Xiao Yan. If we become a couple with grievances, it will be my fault."
Arranging marriages for others is something you really should avoid, as it can be a thankless task.
Thinking of this, the emperor asked about Yun Ting and Lu Huan's marriage again.
"Have you set a date?"
Teng Wenfu replied after careful consideration, "I haven't heard of it yet."
"Then send someone back to ask."
The emperor thinks a lot.
No matter who dies, the Empress Dowager, Yun Ting's grandmother, or the Emperor himself, it will delay Yun Ting for another year.
Now Erya has gone to Qiongzhou with her parents, and Yun Ting has not made a fuss. He probably has given up.
That's good.
The emperor thought that as long as Yun Ting followed the path he had designed for him, he would have wealth and glory in this life.
But some things simply cannot be planned.
Yun Ting went home for the New Year, but because he was worried about the county, he returned to Yongji County on the third day of the first lunar month.
Since Jiang Quan is the only master of the Jiang family, he has to preside over matters such as ancestor worship, so he has to wait until after the Lantern Festival before returning.
This year was really bad for him.
Because almost everyone is concerned about his marriage.
What's there to ask? It's so annoying!
Everyone suggested that he get married as soon as possible and have more children for the Jiang family.
He's not a stud!
Jiang Quan was not good at disguising himself, so his face showed unhappiness.
Jiang Yi saw through it and asked him, but he didn't say anything. Jiang Yi was so angry that she beat him up.
That's no use.
Jiang Quan still didn't say anything.
Jiang Yi complained to the Fifth Young Master, "It's just like a gourd with a sawed mouth. It's driving people crazy and mad to death."
The Fifth Young Master comforted her, "Don't worry, wait for me to test his attitude. Ask him if he has a favorite woman and what his plans are for marriage. We must always arrange things according to his ideas."
"Will he have a favorite woman?" Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. "Even if a cast iron tree can bloom, he won't. In the end, I'll have to arrange something for him."
As an older sister, she is really worried about her.
"That's not necessarily true." The Fifth Young Master remained calm and said with a smile, "Ah Quan is a man of inner talent. Please be patient, I will go talk to him."
Some things are easier to discuss between men.
Jiang Yi, the elder sister, plays more of a mother role.
When a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his mother.
Jiang Quan is somewhat rebellious.
"Then go ahead." Jiang Yi shook his head helplessly.
She didn't think what the Fifth Young Master said was right.
She felt that it was probably Jiang Quan who was only thinking about charging into battle. In addition, Xiao Yan, whom he respected, had recently been in trouble, which made him in a bad mood.
Late at night, in complete silence, the Fifth Young Master, carrying a pot of warm wine, gently knocked on Jiang Quan's door.
"A Quan, are you asleep? Come have a couple of drinks with me?"
There was silence for a moment before Jiang Quan's muffled voice came: "...I'm not asleep. Come in."
The Fifth Young Master pushed the door open and saw that Jiang Quan had not rested yet. He was only wearing a single layer of clothes and sitting by the window looking at the dark night outside. There was an unresolvable depression in his back, and the cold moonlight outlined his tense figure.
The Fifth Young Master didn't say much. He put the wine pot and two cups on the table, poured two cups, handed one to him, and sat down casually on the chair opposite.
"Are you not having a happy New Year?" The Fifth Young Master went straight to the point. His tone was calm, but it carried the power to see through people's hearts.
Jiang Quan took the glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. The strong liquor burned his chest and his voice became even hoarse. "It's not painful or unpleasant. It's all like that."
"Is it always like that?" The Fifth Young Master said, "I don't think so. You used to be annoyed by the trivial matters at home, but not like this year. You're like gunpowder, ready to explode at any moment. Your sister is so worried, she's afraid you'll get sick from holding it in."
Speaking of which, before the New Year, Daya completely handed over the gunpowder business to Jiang Yi.
The Jiang family made a lot of money, and Jiang Yi donated half of it to the school.
It can be said that Lu Qiniang and the others left, but their previous business was not delayed at all.
The most popular shop at the dock is still hers, and the most popular general merchandise shop in the capital is still Sihai.
Jiang Quan scratched his hair irritably: "...She's worrying about nothing."
"Whether you're worrying for nothing or not, you know it in your heart." The Fifth Young Master put down his wine glass, his eyes looking particularly sharp in the dim light. "Ah Quan, there's no one else here. Talk to your brother-in-law, are you in love with someone?"
He has been through this before.
Jiang Quan froze, and tried to cover up by grabbing the wine jug: "Brother-in-law, don't make wild guesses. Who can I be?"
"A Quan, if you have someone in your heart, you should speak up as soon as possible and fight for her," said the Fifth Young Master. "Otherwise, if she marries someone else in the future, it will be too late for you to regret it."
From this perspective, he actually has no say because he is also a loser.
But his situation was different.
My sister won't accept him.
The two of them have to endure endless hardships when they are together.
Now the boat has passed through thousands of mountains. Looking back, the Fifth Young Master has already let it go.
But he still encouraged Jiang Quan to fight for his own happiness.
"What do I have to regret? She was granted marriage first, and I fell in love with her later." Jiang Quan finally couldn't help but say it out loud.
He had been holding it in for too long and was afraid that he would go crazy.
His brother-in-law is someone he trusts very much, so now he finally has an outlet to vent.
"Brother-in-law." Jiang Quan pulled the Fifth Young Master's sleeve. "Don't tell my sister about this, or anyone else. If I damage her reputation, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
