On this day, Jiang Zhai, Ningyang County, Yanzhou Prefecture, thousands of miles away.
Mrs. Jiang was sitting by the window with a mouse whisker brush in her hand, and she was sketching the flower and bird patterns on the fan piece by piece. On the side of the table were many pieces of Xiangfei bamboo used to make the fan bones. The early spring sunshine hit her soft side face, she obviously didn't wear any makeup, but she was still as bright and charming as a 28-year-old girl.
After drawing the orchid leaves with one stroke, Mrs. Jiang slowly stopped her hand, looking at the magistrate Jiang who was reading a book at the desk, and said: "Ayan left home for Yingtian Mansion for more than a month. I don't know what the situation is. I am really worried."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Jiang sighed, and slightly frowned. It has been a long time since I heard my daughter laughing, reading, or calling her parents coquettishly, and my heart is always empty and lost.
Jiang Zhixian sits casually, with a white face and a short beard. He must have been a handsome young man when he was young. He turned a page of the book, without moving his eyes, and said calmly: "My lady, don't worry, my son is always alert, and I have half of the jade talisman from Dingguo's mansion. It's good to go out and see the world. Counting the days, the Imperial College should also start school." Well, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all under the care of the secretary and doctors, and there is Miss Yu from the prefect's family as companions, so everything will be fine."
"It's because of the piece of jade that she is wearing that I am even more worried. When my husband passed the imperial examination and became an official, and supported the empress and empress to push administrative laws, the Fu family had a lot of suspicions about the husband. When they met in court or in private, they were so cold Very, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they don't like revolutionary members, not to mention that the two families have a marriage made by mistake."
Mrs. Jiang blew the ink on the fan, and sighed: "It was also because I didn't think carefully at the time. I thought that Ayan was away from home to study and had no one to rely on, so I asked her to wear the jade next to her body. In case of danger, The Fu family will not sit idly by in the face of that jade. But I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and I have become more and more anxious. Back then, Ding Guogong promised the marriage between A Yan and Fu's parents and grandsons. I disagree, and Ah Yan is ignorant of the past, and doesn't know about her marriage contract with the Fu family, will she be misunderstood by holding that jade?"
Thinking of all kinds of things, her eyes turned red, and a tear was about to fall.
Jiang Zhixian raised a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes from the back of the scroll, and seeing the lady weeping, he hurriedly put down the scroll and walked over to her, took her soft palm and rubbed it: "You and I didn't tell Ayan about the marriage contract back then, I'm just worried that if the in-laws fail to get married, it will cause her troubles. What's wrong with letting her carry that jade? One is to protect herself, and the other is to try the Fu family's attitude. If the two children really can't get along, it's okay. The marriage contract is."
Mrs. Jiang glared: "Lang Jun said it lightly! A Yan is only fifteen years old. If the engagement is broken, what face will there be?"
"It's the termination of the contract, not the divorce. How can it hurt face?" Jiang Zhixian smiled and stretched out his hand, wiped away a little tear from the corner of his wife's eyes, hugged her in his arms, and softly comforted her, "My son is so smart and strong. She won't suffer from retiring from the Fu family's marriage, and the lady can put her heart in her stomach."
Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Zhixian wrote a pen and coaxed: "Ayan Shuxiu's money is due to my wife's income from selling fans. My wife has worked hard! Come and draw fans for my husband and my wife." After finishing speaking, he whispered in her ear again. Deliberately lowering his voice, he said, "What should I draw? If I have one, I can draw wings flying together, mandarin ducks playing in the water, okay?"
Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold back, she burst into tears and smiled, and looked at her husband helplessly: "Ayan's cleverness, I came with you."
At the same time, in the Guozi Academy, Jiang Yan looked in surprise at the young master Fu who wanted to exchange money and silver for her jade ring.
Why does he care so much no, should he be so afraid of this piece of jade?
Jiang Yan was puzzled, fearing that she had heard it wrong, she untied the jade around her waist and put it in her palm, and deliberately shook it at Fu Li: "You said, you want to exchange my jade with silver?"
Fu Li stared at the jade in her palm, nodded and said, "You make a price."
He looked confident and aloof, but Jiang Yan had a dark stomach, how could he be deceived so smoothly? She suddenly clutched the jade ring tightly in her arms, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I don't want to sell it."
Fu Li frowned, and said again: "I don't need money, I can change it for other things."
Jiang Yan still said: "Not for sale."
Fu Li narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his voice sank a bit: "What exactly do you want?"
"The Jiang family still has food and clothing, parents are harmonious, father is kind and daughter is filial, so they don't need the help of Mr. Fu." After thinking for a while, Jiang Yan chuckled and jokingly said, "If you really say that there is something missing, it's just a lack of a son-in-law."
"you!"
"I think your looks are fair, your talents are fair, and you want jade? It's better to promise you with your body."
"You are simply" These words obviously hit Fu Li's sore spot. I saw his chest rising and falling, the tips of his ears were red, and he gritted his teeth bitterly, "It's unreasonable, so frivolous!"
"Hey, you are so niceIn order to find a good husband! "The one who spoke was Song Yurou, the daughter of the Minister of Justice.
Now the room was full of excitement, the girls blushed, laughed up and down together and said, "If it wasn't for a good marriage, who would let their daughter come here in public?"
Jiang Yan and Ruan Yu looked at each other, always feeling strange and difficult to integrate into their topic.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wu Mianxue kindly asked, "How about you?"
"Me?" Ruan Yu smiled slightly and said longingly, "I just want to learn the way of sages for two years, and then go back to Yanzhou to share my father's worries."
The girls laughed even louder, as if Ruan Yu was talking about something absurd and weird, which made Ruan Yu feel quite embarrassed.
Jiang Yan felt unhappy when she saw that she was being ridiculed for saying a few serious words. After thinking for a while, she took Ruan Yu's hand to change the subject, and said with a smile, "I am different from you. You are here for husband and son, and I am here not for husband and son. Just think about it." Bard, isn¡¯t it beautiful to live in the wind, flowers and snow? In comparison, Ayu has the most ambitious ambitions!¡±
This time she successfully shifted the target, and the girls stopped laughing and looked at her as if they were looking at a different kind.
No woman can take the place of men - this is the deep-rooted thought of everyone.
Including this group of girls with high hopes.
At this moment, the door of the dormitory was slammed open, and Xue Wanqing, who was facing the wall, reappeared for some reason, stepped into the door domineeringly, glanced at Jiang Yan and said, "What are you talking about, this is not for men, why bother to pretend?" Qinggao? Aren¡¯t you still having a private meeting with a man in front of the academy this afternoon? I¡¯ve seen it all.¡±
