Chapter 336 Who is stupid?
The son chased the eldest grandson and beat him, and the grandfather naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. He reached out and pulled the baby behind him, and the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Jiang Tiesuo, why did you hit the child for no reason?"
"Dad, listen to what that brat just said."
Jiang Huailiang stopped out of respect for his old father and pointed his finger at his stupid eldest son.
"They say the eldest daughter is crazy and the second daughter is stupid, but you, Jiang Lao San, are the smart and capable? You're so stupid you're practically dead! You can't even convince that girl from the Sun family, and yet you keep nagging your second sister all day long. What the hell do you know?"
"Why don't I understand?"
Jiang Yao retorted unconvinced.
"Don't bring up Sun Qingqing and me for now. Let's talk about Jiang Lao Er. What did His Royal Highness Shun treat her badly? From childhood to adulthood, no one can see it more clearly than me. Li Jingxiu is really stupid. He is sincere to my second sister, just like my brother-in-law is to my eldest sister..."
"How can it be the same? Where's your brain?!"
Jiang Huailiang shouted loudly, scaring his son so much that he trembled. Then his father reached out and pounded the table in annoyance.
"It's already late at night, why are you yelling?
Is there anything that can’t be said nicely?
Sit down, both of you, and I'll listen to your reasoning."
After the old man spoke, Jiang Huailiang glared at his son and then sat down. Jiang Yao also lingered and sat down next to his grandfather.
"Suozi, don't be angry first.
I know today's situation is quite frustrating, but being angry is useless, right? We have to find a way to solve it.
Tell me what you two think about Eryatou's marriage. It's really not a good idea to keep dragging it out like this."
"Dad, how can it be that easy?"
Old Jiang sighed deeply and lowered his voice.
“It was easier to deal with before our family had a queen, but now it’s really hard to deal with it.
The third brother is a brainless guy who only cares about brotherhood. He never thought about what would happen to our family in the future if his second sister really married Prince Shun and became his wife.
In the eyes of the civil and military officials of the entire court, I, the Duke of Ling, would say I have no big plans, but I probably wouldn’t even believe it myself!
"Dad, are you thinking too much?"
Jiang Yao frowned.
"My eldest sister and brother-in-law both know that Prince Shun wants to marry my second sister, and they're pretty supportive, aren't they?"
"That's why I said you have no brains, even worse than your second sister!"
Old Jiang analyzed the matter to him with a tired heart.
"At present, our family is simply the Queen's family. Although I rejected the empty title of Duke Cheng'en, everyone in the world knows that my eldest daughter of the Jiang family is the Queen Mother of the current dynasty!
But what if your second sister also married into the royal family?
The Li brothers seem to be getting along now, so that's all good. What if one day, Li Lao Si and Li Lao Wu fall out like Li Lao Da and Li Lao San did? Then, as their common father-in-law, whose side should I side with?
From the perspective of justice, I will definitely protect the emperor. But when the time comes, what will your second sister do?
It's true that the second girl has been spoiled and crybaby since she was a child, but she is not really stupid under the guidance of your eldest sister. She also thought of this, so she chose the Guo family, whose family background is simple and innocent. Do you understand?"
Jiang Yao was speechless for a moment before turning his head to look towards the inner courtyard, his tone full of sighs.
"So when Jiang Han was choosing a husband, she didn't just look at appearance?"
"Do you think your whole family is like you?"
Old Jiang rolled his eyes at Little Jiang. He was too lazy to bother with this stubborn guy who refused to budge. He just turned around and whispered to his old father.
"Since we are in the period of national mourning now, the second girl's marriage can be put on hold for a while, there is no rush.
The most pressing matter at the moment is to fill the hole that Ji's thief dug. I plan to visit them tonight with gifts to silence them and avoid rumors tomorrow morning.
I said that Xiao Si followed his second sister to the palace to pay respects to the emperor and the empress, but on the way back, I don’t know which grandson attacked my precious old lump.
"Thankfully, I happened to meet Ji Yunzhi on the road, which saved my child's life. I have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express my gratitude, and by the way, I'll also stop by to thank those who kindly pointed the way to that directionally challenged guard!"
"Can you do it?"
The old man felt worried.
"Why not?"
Jiang Huailiang sneered.
"I'm not the country bumpkin I used to be. I'm the father-in-law of the emperor now! I'm usually easy to talk to and don't cause trouble because I'm low-key, not because I'm a coward. I want to see who dares to openly help Ji Yunzhi to cheat me!"
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you calling me 'I' in front of your father?'"
The old man frowned unhappily. After seeing his son apologize with a guilty conscience, the wise old man sighed softly.
"Are you sure this wasn't caused by the Ji family?"
"no."
Jiang Huailiang was firm.
"I have already asked the second girl's guards, and they all said that the group of people are well-trained and should be trained by a big family.
Ji Xun also started out as a poor scholar. His ancestors hadn't produced any decent people in eight generations, so it was only when he came to power that he could be considered to have made a comeback. His first wife's family had been completely destroyed by soldiers and bandits many years ago.
Although my current wife comes from a good family, she's smart and has a good relationship with my wife. Even if the Yuan family had the ability, they would never give Ji Yunzhi their connections and wealth. Otherwise, Ji Xun wouldn't have driven him out of the capital.
but…"
He touched his beard hesitantly.
"I think that little brat from the Ji family is really different from before. I have to go to the palace and tell the eldest girl what she plans to do."
"Okay, since you already have a plan in mind, I won't give you any advice. Anyway, you should discuss it with the eldest girl. You two are both smart and shouldn't fall into the trap. I won't get involved."
The old man stood up, turned his head to look at his eldest grandson who still looked confused, and could only sigh helplessly.
There are four children in the family, and the other three are all smarter than the last. This is because the daughter-in-law didn't choose the right time to give birth to Yaozu, so the child looks like his father and has the brains of his grandmother. Sigh!
He waved to his precious grandson with a look of pity.
"Brother Yao, it's dark outside and my eyesight is not good. Come and help me back."
"Hey, here it comes!"
Although the child was not smart, he was filial. Thanks to his eldest sister's timely and serious beating, the sapling that almost grew crooked when it was young was finally forced to straighten.
Alas, it is enough to have one smart child at home, why do we need so many? Simple people have simple blessings, and his precious grandson will have more blessings in the future!
The old man staggered away contentedly.
