Chapter 85 Old Lady
His eldest son-in-law is not only good-looking, but also a good writer.
At the same time, I also feel sorry that he is a scholar and a student on government scholarship, but he just doesn't want to continue his studies.
If he had continued studying, Ming'en would definitely have a place in the court now.
Jiang Youya looked up at Song Mingen who was sitting quietly on the armchair, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Now that he is his father-in-law, he naturally cannot let his talent go to waste.
"Ming En, now that you're in the capital, what are your plans for the future?"
Song Mingen said, "Father-in-law, I have already settled down in Beijing for a house and a shop. I will gradually build a farm and also have my household registration in place. I am still a commoner, so I am considering taking part in the Autumn Examination next year."
Jiang Youya pursed his lips slightly, and the more he looked at Song Mingen, the more he admired him.
"The Autumn Examination isn't that easy."
"Please rest assured, father-in-law. I will prepare diligently. This has been my wish for many years. I will definitely attempt to take the imperial examination. Whether I pass or not, I will have no regrets in my life."
"Okay, okay, since you don't want to have any regrets in your life, then you should go all out and do what you want to do. Don't move into the house you bought in Beijing yet. Just live peacefully in the Jiang Mansion for now. Your mother-in-law and I haven't seen Wanwan for fifteen or almost sixteen years. We don't know how much longer we have left. We want to see Wanwan every day for the rest of our lives. Do you understand how your father feels?"
Song Mingen looked at the old man with gray hair on his temples and slightly bent back, and felt a little sad.
Thinking of Wen Can saying that the Jiang family came to Yancheng to look for Wanwan three years ago, he wanted to go and beat Wen Can up right now.
If I had known this, I would have sent Wanwan back three years ago.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. Wanwan won't leave again now that she's back. I'll be preparing for next year's Autumn Examination at home."
Jiang Youya smiled and said, "Did you bring any books?"
"It's at the Song residence. I'll arrange for it to be delivered."
"No need. You can come here and study every day. Here are the works of great scholars throughout the ages collected by my father-in-law, as well as the examination papers from the autumn and spring examinations, and the palace examinations. You can browse through them at will. If you don't understand something, you can ask me at any time."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
"Okay, go to the next yard and meet Wanwan's sister."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After Song Mingen left, Jiang Youya hurriedly asked Chang Huai to prepare the horse.
"Master, the horse has ordered lunch."
"Let's go to the palace to eat."
"Dad, where are you going?"
Jiang Yunzhou led Judge Xue into the second gate.
"Enter the palace."
"This humble official has met Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Youya hurriedly helped Xue Yuanpan up and said, "You've come here for nothing. The mansion doesn't need a doctor for the time being."
"Dad, even if Mom doesn't want to see a doctor, Sister Yu also wants to see a doctor."
"No need, Sister Yu is fine. Trust me, you'll know in three months."
Jiang Youya pulled Xue Yuanpan away without saying anything.
Jiang Yunzhou: ...
In the yard, under the flower pavilion.
Cheng Qingmeng took Song Yu aside and told him in detail about Chaofeng Palace Academy.
Jiang Shiyun tried to interrupt several times but never got the chance.
I felt anxious watching Cheng Qingmeng describing the situation so vividly.
The eldest cousin can’t be snatched away by the second cousin.
She wants to monopolize the favor of her eldest cousin.
what to do?
Hey, how could she have such selfish thoughts? Her second cousin also dotes on her.
She stopped arguing and peeled oranges for her two cousins.
"Cousin, cousin, come and eat the oranges. I've peeled them..."
Jiang Yunshu glanced at the three children in the pavilion, smiled and said to Jiang Yunwan, "That's great. Meng'er now has a sister to pamper her. Sister, will you still pamper me like you did when we were children?"
"Of course you're my sister, so will you still believe everything I say like you did when we were kids?"
Jiang Yunshu nodded, "I always listen to my sister."
"Is Cheng Xiao good to you?"
Jiang Yunshu thought of Cheng Xiao, and a smile unconsciously crossed her face. "Cheng Xiao treats me very well, understands me very well, is very good at coaxing people, speaks very gently, and is very self-disciplined. He has already made many contributions to the court. When he returns from the border, I will see him and I will definitely look up to him as much as my father and brother do."
Jiang Yunwan saw that Jiang Yunshu's heart and eyes were full of Cheng Xiao at this moment.
Now that Cheng Xiao is saying that she lied to her, not only does she not believe it, it may also affect their sisterly relationship.
"Cheng Xiao is a filial child." At this time, Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "When he is not busy with official duties, he always brings Shushu to see me. Over the years, he has arranged for people to seek out various miracle doctors to treat my eye disease. He also spent a lot of effort to arrange for people to find your whereabouts. If he hadn't passed by and brought antipyretics, and arranged for people to rush to the town dozens of kilometers away to fetch a doctor, I might not have survived. Thanks to him, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me when you come back."
Jiang Yunwan: "When Cheng Xiao returns from the border, I will definitely thank him and prepare a generous gift for him."
Jiang Yunwan glanced at Feng Yingying. Cheng Xiao is very good at acting.
Feng Yingying smiled dryly.
Cheng Xiao is indeed very good at dealing with people. Even someone as smart as her was deceived by him.
"Sister, we are all family, so there is no need to do this. We can just sit down and have a good meal together."
"How can this be possible? My brother-in-law has worked so hard for our mother and sent people to look for me. As the eldest aunt, I must thank him well."
Otherwise, how can we justify his hard work?
"Wanwan, who do you want to thank?"
Jiang Yunshu looked over when he heard the voice, his eyes lit up.
No wonder my sister wanted to marry her savior after losing her memory.
My brother-in-law is so handsome!
Not only is he better looking than her son Ah Xiao, he is also more handsome than her sister's ex-fiancé.
These fifteen years have been worth it, sister!
"Ming En, come here quickly. This is my sister Shu Shu."
Jiang Yunshu hurried forward to greet him, bowing at a 45-degree angle, "Greetings, brother-in-law."
"No, no, please get up quickly, Sister Shushu."
Song Mingen hurriedly helped the person up. How could the wife of the Earl greet him politely?
"Yes, yes, you are not only my brother-in-law, but also my sister's savior. If you hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't be able to see my sister today."
If she wasn't pregnant, she would definitely give her brother-in-law a big gift.
"I also want to thank my brother-in-law for taking care of my sister over the years. It's obvious that my sister has never suffered much. You must have treated my sister well and will continue to treat her consistently in the future."
Song Mingen smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister Shushu, I will definitely treat Wanwan sincerely, and I will protect you like I protect your sister."
Such a gentle and kind sister-in-law was kept in the dark by the Cheng family. This is really too much!
"Wanwan Shushu, I'm back to have lunch with you." At this time, Jiang Yunzhou walked in, followed by servants who brought in food one after another.
"Brother, my sister-in-law said that the Imperial College is very busy these days, so you don't have to rush back. It's so hot, and it's very tiring to go back and forth."
"How can it be hard to eat with you? I will come back every day from now on."
Yongping Earl's Mansion
"What did you say Jiang Yunwan was found and she's still alive?"
Old Madam Cheng was a little bit unbelievable.
Niu Ma Ma said, "Yes, old lady, Madam Song looks very much like the Jiang family. Our uncle's wife is her sister, she won't make a mistake."
"Knock, knock, knock!" Old Madam Cheng stamped her cane anxiously. "Why did she come back at this time? Why is she so lucky to still be alive? Now that Boss Jiang's eldest daughter is back, can he still rely on his youngest daughter for everything?"
"Old Madam, please don't worry. Old Jiang has already mentioned the matter of our Earl's Mansion being promoted to a nobility to the Emperor. As long as our Earl returns with merit, the Emperor will definitely issue an edict to confer him the title of nobility."
Being granted a title of nobility is far from enough!
We must take advantage of the fact that Old Jiang is keeping close to Jiang Yunshu to speak well of Xiao'er in front of the emperor, so that the Cheng family can inherit the throne for five generations!
There will be many more places where Master Jiang will be of use in the future.
"Didn't you say her child is already grown up?"
Aunt Niu nodded. "The child is wearing a mask and I can't see his face clearly."
"Can you tell whether the clothes and accessories worn by the mother and daughter are of high quality?"
"I didn't look closely, but I did see Jiang Yunwan's appearance clearly. She has fair skin and is well-maintained. I guess her husband's family is not short of money."
Madam Cheng frowned, "So that means that when the first-rank noblewoman Jiang Yunwan married a lowly merchant family, Old Jiang would not break them up to make amends. He would definitely find a way to help his eldest son-in-law improve his family background and would no longer be so strict with his youngest daughter. Our Cheng family would not benefit from this."
"It's not that easy to change your family background, right?"
Madam Cheng said, "Don't you forget who Mr. Jiang is? There's nothing he can't do."
Without the support of Mr. Jiang, how could Xiao'er have so many opportunities to make achievements?
Since it is unavoidable, just win over Jiang Yunwan's family of three.
Jiang Yunwan dotes on Jiang Yunshu. If her sister needs help from her, wouldn’t she try to ask Old Jiang for help?
"Go to the warehouse and pick out some high-quality nourishing products to bring to the Jiang Mansion tomorrow. It's time to go see my blind mother-in-law."
