Chapter 245 A Suspected Old Friend Comes
Such a big thing happened to the Jiang family, but the funeral still needs to be done.
Fortunately, Jiang Song did not die, otherwise there would be two people handling the funeral.
Many people lamented that the Jiang Huai family was unlucky, otherwise with a marquis' wife like Jiang Xinyu, they would have lived a prosperous life.
Now, Jiang Huai, who was only in his 40s, brought disaster upon himself, and his two sons were doomed as well.
Jiang Song has become a fool, and even if Jiang Xinyu wants to help him, it is impossible for her to get him an official position.
As for the younger one, he was even worse. He scolded the eldest sister as a bitch in front of everyone. No matter how magnanimous the Marquis's wife was, she would not like him.
It was a real punishment to be thrown into jail this time.
Jiang Wanqiu forced herself to apologize to everyone, saying that it was inconvenient at home and she would not entertain them.
The funeral will be held as usual tomorrow. Thank you all for coming to see her father off.
Those people comforted her with a few words, whether genuine or fake, and then left, like a group of rats that had eaten their fill of melons.
Jiang Xinyu did not stay to watch the show. It was obvious that Liu and Jiang Wanqiu were still making trouble.
When Liu woke up, she was really furious, and the mother and daughter had a big fight.
In the end, Late Autumn would still speak, and with her eloquent tongue she would tear the truth apart and explain it to Liu.
He also listed several famous dandies in the capital.
Those people are either courtesans or gamblers. Even their own mothers and grandmothers want to sell them for silver.
Jiang Wanqiu started to cry as she spoke. "Three years old tells the young, seven years old tells the old. What's the point of deceiving ourselves about where Quan'er's roots are? Don't you really know what Quan'er's character is like?"
It doesn’t matter even if Songge’er is stupid, you are still young.
Buy two fertile girls for Song'er as soon as possible to give birth to a grandson. After educating them, you can enjoy the happiness too.
But it’s not necessarily the case for Quan’er.
That child was so young and yet he dared to kill his own brother out of jealousy. If he grows up, you won't be able to control him."
Raising a son to provide for old age, Jiang Wanqiu has firmly grasped Liu's weakness.
Mrs. Liu was not stupid, and she knew clearly what kind of person her son was.
When she thought of what Jiang Wanqiu said, she might not clamor to get Jiang Quan back. This was her way of crying out about her own difficulties and the unfairness of fate.
Jiang Wanqiu was annoyed but had to patiently coax her. Only when she returned to her room did she have time to review what happened today.
The current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for her.
She thought she would be freer now that Jiang Huai was dead and no one was holding her back, but she didn't expect that this idiot Jiang Quan would hold her back.
In his previous life, Song Ge was ranked 16th in the second class of the pediatric examination, which was already a very good ranking.
If there is a prophet like me who can give him the answer to the question, he will have a chance to compete for the first place.
He is good-looking and young, and most importantly, he was very good to Jiang Xinyu in his previous life and there was no conflict between them.
As long as that little bastard doesn't make trouble, Jiang Song has a great chance of being selected as the third place.
A scholar who is a successful candidate in the imperial examination and comes from an official family is extremely popular in the marriage market and can easily rely on this halo to marry a noble lady.
With such brothers from her natal family and some tricks, she could also cross the class barrier and marry into a rich family.
Unfortunately, it is all destroyed now.
One of her two brothers is in jail and the other is a fool. She is not even qualified to be the second wife of a wealthy family.
Now she can only wait and wait for the opportunities that Qian knows about to appear before she can take action.
Liu cried for half the night and her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't open them the next day. Jiang Wanqiu also had dark circles under her eyes, but there was no one in the family who could take charge, so she had to take over.
Nothing happened at this funeral, but luckily it was finally over.
Everything was so tight that no one even noticed that there was no body in the coffin.
Jiang Wanqiu was extremely grateful that Jiang Xinyu did not take the opportunity to cause trouble, and after burying Jiang Huai, she locked herself in the house and began to observe mourning.
Jiang Quan was also sentenced. It was Jiang Xinyu who arranged it. Considering his young age, he was sentenced to ten years of hard labor.
It was labor reform, being locked up in a quarry and doing hard labor of breaking stones. To be honest, it was not as comfortable as being killed by a knife.
However, Jiang Xinyu didn't want him to die so early, and even specifically instructed the yamen runners to find a doctor for him if he fell ill.
Making him work hard every day without enough food or warm clothes and wearing shackles is to atone for his sins.
The reason he wasn't allowed to die is because he's still useful.
Jiang Quan is like a shit-stained knife, poisonous and malicious. If necessary, he can be sent back to the Jiang family to deal with Liu and Jiang Wanqiu.
Jiang Quan hates that family more than he does himself now. Jiang Xinyu actually likes this kind of drama where every evildoer has his own evildoers.
The Jiang family became even poorer after the funeral, but the housekeeper Jiang Wanqiu was harsh and the servants complained.
In order to prevent the old slaves of the Jiang family from ganging up on each other and bullying their masters, she sold out many people.
He also bought some younger and more honest people from human traffickers and trained them. The people Xiao Yuan prepared had also infiltrated the Jiang family.
Since someone was watching Jiang Xinyu, he no longer paid any attention to her and returned to his life between the palace and the mansion.
Jin Zeyu is indeed smart. Not only does he complete his tutoring assignments very well, he can also draw inferences and distinguish the pros and cons of some of the modern ideas that Jiang Xinyu has taught him.
Two months passed peacefully like this, and Dajin suddenly received two letters from foreign countries.
One was that the second prince of the Quanrong was going to visit the Jin Dynasty to pay tribute.
Another one is that the Nanzhao Kingdom’s national teacher, the holy monk Miaowu, is coming to spread Buddhism.
There is no need to talk about the Quanrong, a group of people with wolfish ambitions.
They said they were here to celebrate the emperor's ascension to the throne, but everyone knew that they were just trying to take advantage of the change in imperial power.
It is estimated that when the letter of credence was delivered, the group had already set off, and they didn't care at all whether Dajin agreed or not.
Who told Dajin that it was a country of etiquette? Even though its military strength was not inferior to theirs, it loved peace and was not willing to resort to war.
Anyway, they had always done this when the old emperor was in power, and this time they took the opportunity to find out the details of the Regent Prince and the Marquis of Zhenguo.
If these two were to confront each other and guard against each other, they could defeat each one separately or use one to fight the other.
If both of them are scared, they can open their mouths wide like a lion and bite off a big piece of meat.
Of course, the worst-case scenario is that both of them are militants, so they have to think carefully when asking for money.
The other Nanzhao Kingdom was more popular, especially since the one who came was their imperial preceptor.
The Great Jin Dynasty also worshipped Buddhism, otherwise there would not have been a queen dowager living in a Buddhist temple for a long time to worship Buddha.
Nanzhao was a Buddhist country, and even many princes and nobles became monks, and there were countless eminent monks.
Nanzhao never invaded any other country and was treated with courtesy wherever they went.
It just so happens that their place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and they have the custom of training snakes and raising pigs, so no one is so foolish as to provoke them.
The Master Miaowu who came to exchange Buddhist teachings this time is even more legendary. He was originally a prince but suddenly gained enlightenment at the age of 18.
Although he had not read much Buddhist scriptures, his words were so shocking that they left the senior monks of Zhenguo Temple speechless.
The host said that he was enlightened by the Buddha.
He actually accepted him as his junior fellow apprentice on behalf of his master, and even gave up the position of national master to him after seclusion.
However, what he is most famous for is not his Buddhism but his appearance and romantic affairs.
There used to be many young ladies from noble families who were close friends with him, but his becoming a monk has caused great hardship to others.
But this man actually wrote a poem that will be sung throughout the ages, and no one in the world would say a bad word about him.
He Zhang admired this person very much, and his face was full of longing when he talked about him at the dinner table.
Jiang Xinyu was also curious so she asked a question, but she didn't want to laugh after hearing it.
I once worried that my excessive sentimentality would damage my Buddhist practice, and I was also afraid of leaving the city behind when I went into the mountains.
How can one achieve the best of both worlds, without disappointing the Tathagata and yourself?
Wasn't this Nima written by Cangyang Gyatso? She must have met a fellow villager.
