If you are pleasing to the eye, just follow my father and let Ping An throw him out! "

He puffed out his chest peacefully and cooperatively, with an air of loyalty.The two coaxed the old lady into a smile, and poked Mr. Jiang's forehead fiercely with her finger, and said angrily, "You are the only one who can coax people."

Mr. Jiang held his head and pretended to be in pain, trying to make the old lady happy.The matter of finding a partner is put on hold for now.For the next few days, Mr. Jiang stayed at home with the old lady to go shopping in the garden and listen to plays, and occasionally picked and picked among the new blind dates that the old lady had collected.He didn't pay any attention to the ups and downs outside, and he didn't know that the Jiang family's name had once again spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River.

Xishan has been suffering from bandits for a long time, and the government has failed to suppress bandits four times, and has already lost all face.This time he was caught by Mr. Jiang, and the people applauded.The government also took the opportunity to publicize with great fanfare, and sent commissioners to reward Mr. Jiang, and the whole Jiangnan became lively.

Mr. Jiang was still playing with the old lady at the nest house, playing with the birds and feeding the fish. When he heard the news, the commissioner was about to come to the door.But the old lady couldn't sit still, and walked out tremblingly on crutches: "Housekeeper! Butler! Hurry up and open the door to welcome guests!"

Mr. Jiang grabbed the old lady's arm and comforted him: "Grandma, don't worry, grandson will go out to meet you right away. Later, we need to reward the servants and arrange the banquet, all of which need to be handled by grandma. Grandma will follow the maid to change clothes , so as not to let others say that our Jiang's hospitality is not good."

"Yes, yes." The old lady stood on her crutches, her stooped body straightened up, and the aura of the mistress of the big family was fully activated, directing the servants to get busy.The housekeeper opened the gate, spread the red carpet, hung lanterns, and set off firecrackers. Mr. Jiang also went back and changed into a purple official uniform with a red belt around his waist. Under the sapphire crown, his lips were red and his teeth were white.

The gate of Jianghou Mansion was bustling with crowds of onlookers.Seeing Mr. Jiang Qi Yu coming out grandly, there was a burst of applause.Many big girls and young daughters-in-law looked at him secretly and whispered to each other.Not far away, the team of commissioners, led by tall horses and carrying many boxes, stopped at the gate of Jiang's house, beating and beating all the way.

The commissioner read out the commendation documents in front of everyone, and rewarded property, and the Jiang family also distributed rewards to the officials who announced the good news.When the servant left happily carrying the belongings, the Jiang family also prepared a sumptuous lunch for the commissioner.

Mr. Jiang didn't have a wife or child yet, so the old lady was also invited to the table to entertain guests at the banquet, to eat and drink with the commissioner, and gossip.When he was half drunk, the commissioner took advantage of the alcohol to scrutinize Mr. Jiang up and down, hesitant to speak.

□□Naked scrutiny makes people want to ignore it. Mr. Jiang put down his chopsticks, glanced at the butler, and asked, "My lord, do you have any advice?"

Upon receiving the hint, the butler immediately took out the red envelope from his pocket, and slipped it into the commissioner's hand while adding wine.The commissioner touched the thickness of the red envelope, swallowed but didn't hide it in his arms, and stuffed it back to the housekeeper.

"Little Hou Ye is a promising young man, and he also knows the etiquette in official circles, very good, very good! The old Xiangye really saw the right person!"

old man?Which Xiangye?

Mr. Jiang works in the south of the Yangtze River, and his roots are in the local area, so he has limited knowledge of the important figures in the court.The old lady next to her reacted first, put down her teacup and asked, "Old Prime Minister? You mean old Prime Minister Bai?"

"It's the old Xiangye Bai. Although the Xiangye is an official, he still pays close attention to the important affairs of the court. On the way down, I heard that the young master is choosing a wife. I don't know if it's true or not?"

The commissioner's hint was quite straightforward, Mr. Jiang poured himself a glass of wine: "The official is still young, so I just invited a matchmaker to see him..."

"It's fine if you don't have a marriage contract!" The commissioner didn't listen to Mr. Jiang's words at all, and waved his palm: "I was deeply regretful that I couldn't marry the Jiang family back then. Recently I heard that the young master was choosing a wife. The master entrusted me to be a matchmaker, and is going to give the family's little granddaughter to the young master. This is a very happy event!"

Mr. Jiang was dumbfounded holding the jug, and the old lady didn't know what to say: "The old man is still thinking about that..."

Miss Bai was also one of the few girls that Mr. Jiang's father threw out of the house back then. After losing such a big face, she would be disgusted with any other family.I didn't expect Master Bai to be so persistent, Miss Bai left, and now Miss Bai came again.

After finally reacting, Mr. Jiang cleared his throat and procrastinated: "My nephew is loved by the old man, but I still want to combine the horoscope, let's see..."

The special messenger took out an envelope from his pocket, and patted it directly on the table: "The old Prime Minister transferred the file from the household department, and asked Si Tianjian to deduce the horoscope. It's a good match, why should the young master be indecisive!"

The old lady opened the envelope, and Mr. Jiang went up to read it.It was written with the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays, with Sitianjian's official cinnabar annotations, skipping the long paragraphs of beautiful words, and at the end it wrote: "Marriage is determined by fate, longevity and well-being", and it was stamped with Sitianjian's comment. big seal.

The Bai family made it so clear that they didn't give the Jiang family any room to change things. The old lady, grandson and grandson looked at each other in silence.

Mr. Jiang closed his eyes and said, "Father offended Miss Bai back then, and now the old Prime Minister thinks highly of my Jiang family. Naturally, the Jiang family can no longer ignore the kindness of the Prime Minister. I will go to the Bai family to propose marriage in two days!"

The commissioner was not surprised, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay! That's right! The end of this month will be a good day, so hurry up and give the dowry. After becoming the old man's grandson-in-law, don't forget to say good things for me A few words."

The marriage with the Bai family was settled like this.After the commissioner left and closed the door, Mr. Jiang walked up and down the yard in boredom.

"Master, drink the hangover soup first!"

Ping An came over with a bowl of soup, and Mr. Jiang drank a lot at the banquet, so he would definitely have a headache if he slept like this.

"Don't drink, don't drink." Mr. Jiang pushed Pingan away casually, and continued to pace around the garden with a sullen head.After a long while, he suddenly looked back at Ping An, his eyes were a little red, and he slurred his speech: "Ping An, you said, I can really get married? Why did Mr. Bai fall in love with me?"

After drinking, Mr. Jiang's cheeks were flushed and his eyes were shining brightly. Ping An hurriedly lowered his head and stared at his toes, as if there was a flower on it: "Young master is like a dragon and a phoenix, and Old Master Bai has discerning eyes."

"Fart!" Mr. Jiang got short, and Ping An thought he had fallen, but Mr. Jiang sat on the ground by himself, grabbing flowers and plants to vent his anger: "If he was really wise, he wouldn't marry his granddaughter to me! Someone like me People, how do you marry a wife? It will only delay the lady..."

"Besides Ruyi, she has the blood of the Jiang family in her belly, but she doesn't even have a title!..."

"There's also the Jiang family. It's fine with me alone, but the Jiang family finally made it to today..."

Ping An quickly interrupted Mr. Jiang: "Master, you are drunk."

"It's better to be drunk! You don't have to worry about it when you're drunk!" Mr. Jiang hiccupped and threw the broken flowers and plants into the sky, as if he wanted to throw away all his troubles.Then he spread his arms, and lay down on his back, watching the sunset in the sky without moving for a long time.

"Master?"

Ping An asked tentatively, but no one answered.Mr. Jiang was already lying in the weeds and fell asleep.

wedding day

The bridal chamber is full of candles, when the golden list is titled.

The marriage between the Jiang family and the Bai family this time made the scene of Mr. Jiang's marriage even grander than expected.

The entire Jiang Mansion was surrounded by crowds, and the firecrackers for congratulatory visits rang from the early morning to the afternoon. The servants of the Jiang family always shouted when they spoke, and the old housekeeper's voice was even more hoarse.Those casual acquaintances at the wine table, Mr. Jiang's colleagues, neighbors, relatives... greeted and sent them off, almost breaking the threshold of Jiang's family.

The auspicious time has come, the old lady tied the red flowers on Mr. Jiang's chest with her own hands, and sent Mr. Jiang out to welcome his relatives.Walking out of the gate of Jiang's house, a heat wave rushed towards him.There are crowds of people wherever you can see, you can't see the body clearly at all, you can only see dense black heads.After Mr. Jiang came out, there was a lot of noise, some congratulated him loudly, some yelled about Mr. Jiang's deeds of suppressing bandits, some praised Mr. Jiang for his chicness, and some lamented that the marriage between the two families was a match made in heaven, and the scene almost got out of control.

Firecrackers crackled, but the wedding party was blocked at the door.Even if the Jiang family had prepared long ago and dispatched soldiers to maintain order, they only made a small path in the crowd, which might be swept away by the crowd at any time.Thanks to Ping An's tall stature, holding the rein and hobbling through the crowd, the whole wedding party started slowly.

Crowded in the middle of the heat wave, Mr. Jiang's palms were also sweating.If it was normal, the steel fracture fan would have come out to fan the wind.However, when they got married today, the old lady forcibly took away the fan before going out, just because "fan" and "scatter" sound the same, which is unlucky.

Mr. Jiang shook his head and smiled wryly. He is about to get married, so he doesn't care if it's auspicious or not!

The suona and gongs next to it were beating and beating, and it was very lively.Mr. Jiang, however, felt very anxious. He wished that this familiar long street would be several times longer.

"Young master, the Bai family sent someone to pick him up!" Pingan turned around and yelled loudly, so that he was not overwhelmed by the surrounding noises.

Mr. Jiang took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw many young women in short shirts and skirts standing in front of them, and the surrounding crowd was crowded, but they left their places.These girls held round fans and handkerchiefs, giggling and pointing at him.Ping An greeted them, but the girl in the green shirt at the head stretched her arms, preventing the team from continuing.

"Today is a good day. The groom is going to get married, so why don't we share some happiness with our sisters?" The girl yelled crisply, spreading her white and tender hands in front of Ping An, gesturing for ingots.

This is to block the car, the lottery is here!

Knowing the purpose of the other party's visit, Ping An took out a thick red envelope and prepared to distribute it.As soon as they were taken out, they were all snatched away by the girl in the lead, and handed to the sisters behind to share them.Ping An was stunned for a moment, but still didn't argue with the girls, and was about to turn around and lead the horse, who would have thought that the girls would take him away?
