When they were thirteen or fourteen, they were engaged to another man. However, the man wanted to marry his cousin, so the two eloped a year before the wedding. They were attacked by bandits and died.
The man lost his legitimate son and took his anger out on the Zheng family children, spreading rumors that she was a jinx to husbands.
The Zheng family cherished their daughter and broke off all contact with the man.
After she came of age, she was betrothed to a student of the Zheng family.
There was nothing wrong at first, but the year he passed the imperial examination, he got excited and drank too much. He fell off the pleasure boat into the river and died.
After three of her fiancés died, the Zheng family woman's reputation for being a jinx spread.
No one from the capital city came to propose marriage.
The young girl dreamed of going to live on the country estate and never marrying.
But Old Man Zheng and her parents felt sorry for her and didn't want her to live her life like that.
And so, it was entrusted to me.
I brought this up with you because I knew you and Jiang Niangzi didn't really believe in these things.
Jiang Shuyun didn't believe in the idea of someone bringing bad luck to their husbands, but the capital was far away, and it wouldn't be easy to arrange this.
"Headmaster, please allow me to go back and discuss this matter."
"Okay, no rush."
Jiang Shuyun left the headmaster's study with two important things on her mind. She felt a little flustered and wanted to see her wife as soon as possible.
If he doesn't have classes in the afternoon, he'll leave early to go home and talk to his wife.
Otherwise, if he kept it to himself, he felt he couldn't do anything about it.
Mu Yi'an was quite surprised to see Jiang Shuyun, who had left early, wondering why she was back so early today.
"Yi'an, I need to talk to you about something."
"What's the matter? Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Jiang Shuyun organized her thoughts and told Yi'an about the two things the headmaster had mentioned.
"Don't rush things with Chuyue. The Gu family is just having a brief conversation. There's still time to discuss this further."
As for the Zheng family, the headmaster said that the woman had lost three fiancés and was rumored to be a jinx.
I think this is something worth considering. As for the idea that someone is a jinx to their husbands, that's all nonsense.
Our son, Shao Ming, has certain ambitions for officialdom.
His wife couldn't be a naive and innocent girl; she had to be his equal and supportive partner.
The education this Zheng family girl received from a young age should have been suitable for a matriarch of a prominent family in this era.
If it really is just a case of being a jinx to one's husband, and there are no other inside stories, then Shao Ming actually got a good deal.
In the capital, the eldest daughter of a prominent family would generally not marry into a family of humble origins.
Our family's status is at most acceptable to the illegitimate daughters of some eunuch families.
However, most illegitimate daughters are really not capable of shouldering the responsibilities of a matriarch.
No matriarch will genuinely educate her illegitimate daughter.
Mu Yi'an and Jiang Shuyun analyzed some current situations, some of which were derived from TV dramas.
I'm not really sure if she's been through any power struggles within the family.
The couple had an idea in mind.
However, I should write to Shao Ming and ask for his opinion on this matter.
Ideally, the two young people should meet and see if they get along.
Two parents from a country that values freedom of love are somewhat flustered about their daughter's marriage in an era dominated by arranged marriages.
I always want to give my child the best, but I'm also afraid of making a mistake.
