The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

The old lady walked in slowly from outside the door. She was wearing a crimson gown with a Buddha's hand pattern embroidered on the front and narrow sleeves. Her hair was combed into three neat and smooth buns.

A green hairpin was inserted diagonally in her hair, and she wore a pair of earrings of the same color on her ears.

It is concise and capable yet reveals a touch of nobility.

Although there was a smile on his face, his bright eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, which made people feel awe.

When Mrs. Jiang saw Nanny Yuan coming, she hurriedly stood up from the bed to greet her.

Gu Jinchu beside her followed closely behind, holding out his hand to support the old lady and going forward together.

"This is the Nanny Yuan I mentioned to you before." The old lady introduced to everyone with a smile.

Then he personally led Nanny Yuan to sit on the Luohan bed next to him, and introduced everyone in the room to her one by one.

Nanny Yuan bowed slightly, smiled politely, and said, "Madam, you are too polite."

She glanced at the women in the room, "I wonder which young lady in the mansion is about to get married? That way I can make a course arrangement suitable for her according to her specific situation."

After a brief greeting, Nanny Yuan went straight to the point.

Gu Jinchu sat on a brocade stool below Old Madam Jiang, and when he raised his eyes he could see Nanny Yuan on the Luohan bed.

I could feel her gaze on me, but after our eyes met a few times, she stopped looking at me.

His behavior was exactly the same as she remembered it.

Mrs. Meng sat there with red eyes, looking very pitiful, as if she was about to cry but not crying. This scene made Old Madam Jiang frown.

She waved for the two girls to come over, and introduced the older one first. She smiled and said to Aunt Yuan beside her, "This is my eldest granddaughter from the Jiang family. Her maiden name is Miaohan, and she is thirteen years old."

"The person we are going to marry is the young master of the Liu family in Shaanxi. He passed the imperial examination this year, so it is a good thing for us to have a closer relationship."

After bowing, Jiang Miaohan stood there gracefully, meeting Nanny Yuan's gaze with a faint smile without saying much.

Nanny Yuan smiled and nodded, then raised her eyes to look at the other girl who had her head lowered so that no one could tell her expression.

The old lady continued, "This is the second young lady in the family. Her maiden name is Yiyun. She is thirteen years old now."

"She is a quiet and shy girl. The two sisters will cause trouble to the elder sister."

What Wang was worried about recently was the bastard born by the skinny horse. She was planning her youngest son's marriage, so she neglected some things.

Today, when I saw Nanny Yuan who was invited back by the old lady, and saw that the eldest and second young ladies were both there, I remembered that there was a third young lady in Songtaoyuan.

Jiang Huiying and Jiang Yiyun are the same age, both twelve years old.

She had not yet considered the marriage of her concubine's daughter, and was thinking that she might as well take this opportunity to have a governess from the palace train her.

After all, after she gets married, even if it doesn't help her two sons, at least she won't bring disgrace to her and the prince.

Then Nanny Yuan stood up and said to Madam Jiang, "Madam, if that's the case, I'll go back and prepare first."

Then he looked at the two little girls standing on the side and said, "Miss, Miss, I will be waiting for you to come at 11:00 am tomorrow."

After nodding to everyone in the room, he walked out with the two maids.

When Madam Jiang saw that she could no longer hear the footsteps of people, she stopped smiling and sighed, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing the old lady speak, Meng looked at Mr. Jiang San with red eyes and talked about the marriage of the concubine's daughter Jiang Yiyun:

"......My wife's sister-in-law is the matchmaker. She mentioned the Quan family, a large grain-producing family in Huguang. Although Mr. Quan has no official title, his family is very wealthy..."

Mr. Jiang Sanye, Jiang Nanyiyi, and Mr. Shizi are brothers. He is not as weak as his elder brother, and has a more heroic look on his face.

Perhaps because he was used to the Zheng family's casualness and Jiang Nansheng's steadiness and restraint, Gu Jinchu always felt that he walked lightly and lacked energy.

Jiang Nanyi frowned, trying to control his dissatisfaction, and said:

"Gu'an is so far from Huguang, and Yunjie has no fame. If she marries there, she will have no hope of returning to Beijing in this lifetime."

It is different from my elder sister who is far away from home. She is assigned to work in the local area and there will always be a day when she returns to Beijing to report on her work.

All in all, he just didn't like the other party's family background.

I feel that marrying his only daughter is beyond my reach.

Mrs. Meng sat beside him and said softly, "The Quan family also has a business in Shengjing. After Mr. Quan gets married, he will slowly take over the family business. There will be opportunities to meet in the future..."

Mr. Jiang San did not even look at Mrs. Meng, but looked at Mrs. Jiang who was sitting at the top of the table, "Mother, what do you think of this marriage?"

My parents are still alive, and even though I am just a concubine's daughter, I still have to discuss it with the elders.

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng sat there, holding a handkerchief and began to cry alone.

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Huguang is far away from Shengjing after all, and I am not familiar with the whole family."

After careful consideration, he said, "Although Sister Yun grew up with your aunt and is not a legitimate daughter, she is your only daughter."

"If your family is wealthy, marrying her and becoming her principal wife would be a good thing. Besides, Sister Yun is only thirteen years old, so it's understandable that you don't want to let her go."

Old Madam Jiang didn't even know about this, so what could she say when they brought the matter to her?

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang San nodded and said, "Mother is thinking about it. It is your son and daughter-in-law who are causing you trouble."

Gu Jinchu sat there, and Liu handed her a plate of winter dates and said with a smile:

"These are the winter dates that just came down this year. My family sent someone to deliver them by boat. I'll have someone deliver them to Yuanyuantang later. There's also some bacon, so you and your sister-in-law can have a taste of the flavors from my hometown."

Gu Jinchu picked up a fruit, brought it to his mouth and took a bite, and replied: "It is said that the winter dates in Dali are not only large in size, but also known as small apples. The flesh is crisp and the taste is sweet, and it really lives up to its reputation.

He went on to say, "I once had bacon stew when I was young, and I still remember how delicious it was. Since it is a specialty of my second sister-in-law's hometown, it will definitely not disappoint."

"Then I'll go back and write down some recipes for bacon and send them to my brother and sister-in-law."

Liu told Gu Jinchu beside her that her two sisters also liked the clay pot rice she mentioned the most.

The two sisters-in-law seemed not to hear the conversation between the third couple and the old lady.

It was not until Mrs. Jiang looked tired that everyone in the room found an excuse to leave.

When Gu Jinchu stepped out of the room, he saw Jiang Miaohan, Jiang Yiyun and Jiang Miaozhu playing with date pits. Then he remembered that he did not see Zhang and the fifth lady in Minghui Hall today.

She slowed down her pace and waited for Liu. Standing under the veranda, she saw Mr. Jiang San and Meng coming out.

Mr. Jiang Sanye was much taller than Mrs. Meng. When he took a step forward, Mrs. Meng had to jog to catch up with him.

Meng staggered all the way back to her residence. An abnormal blush appeared on her fair face and her breathing became a little rapid.

She took a few deep breaths before entering the room to steady her breathing.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Mr. Jiang San sitting on the Luohan bed without saying a word. Mrs. Meng walked over and snuggled up to him, carefully observing his expression and whispered:

"Third Master, are you angry with me? My sister-in-law is kind-hearted, please don't get angry and hurt yourself..."

The corners of Jiang Sanye's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer, and said in a cold voice: "What benefits did the whole family give you? Or has the family reached the point where they need to sell their daughter?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "You brought the matter to mother in front of the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the fifth brother's wife. Don't you think I'm embarrassed enough in this family?"
