Chapter 54 Why don’t you marry yourself?

"Sister An Ning is right."

Jiang Wei echoed from the side. Chief Jiang looked at Jiang Anning, then at Jiang Wei, and nodded in a reserved manner: "Then let's do it!"

Patriarch Jiang was very arrogant, as if someone really needed him to come up with an idea.

Jiang Wei and Jiang Anning looked at each other unexpectedly, and each smiled helplessly.

Since he still wanted to notify everyone, Jiang Wei proposed to take the first step.

Jiang Anning borrowed a bowl of miso from Jiang Wang and planned to go back.

"The salty cucumber, Mistress, is so well pickled, it tastes so good just by looking at it."

When Jiang Wang was stirring the miso from the sauce vat, she glanced at the pickled vegetables that were thrown away.

Mrs. Jiang Wang has a kind face, and there is no trace of bitterness in her face that has gone through many vicissitudes of life. She always smiles and makes people feel at ease.

"Then I'll get some for you. They're all grown in my yard, including cowpeas and lentils."

As Jiang Wang said, she went back to the kitchen to get chopsticks, and brought a large clean bowl with her.

"My sister, Qingmiao, usually likes to eat this. She asked me to learn how to make pickles for a long time, but she is quite decent."

She couldn't help but sigh: "Every time, her father always talks about her, saying that she has no future. All day long, she only does some work that only country girls do, and she doesn't know how to be reserved at all. Identity.”

Jiang Anning smiled slightly and listened very seriously.

"But a young girl loves to learn to cook what she likes to eat. What's wrong with that?"

Mrs. Jiang Wang: "She is a well-born young woman with a generous appearance and a good temper. The family is counting on her to marry a well-established person, be harmonious and beautiful, and be able to help her brothers and nephews in the future."< br>

"Isn't this what life is all about?"

"If you want to change your family, unless you are very lucky, wouldn't it take several generations of hard work to even have a chance?"

Mrs. Jiang Wang took out a lot of pickled vegetables from the sauce vat and handed them to Jiang Anning's hand.

"Thank you, Mistress."

Jiang Anning held the sauce bowl and did not answer Jiang Wang's words.

Really, she didn't understand how an elder of the Jiang Wang family could think of talking about Jiang Qingmiao's marriage to a junior like her.

She's not a matchmaker either?

"Don't listen to the unclear words your third grandpa said. He is just worried about Qingmiao's marriage. He has no bad intentions. It's Qingmiao himself who is unlucky."

In his generation, Patriarch Jiang was called Third Grandpa according to his seniority.

But human beings always like to hear people shouting at Guan'er's older side.

Usually in the village, the younger generations of the Jiang family mostly call the clan leader Grandpa.

Jiang Anning naturally followed the local customs.

"Grandpa, the patriarch, is my elder. I just listen to what he says to me. It doesn't matter. I have to argue about right and wrong."

Jiang Anning: "Third Grandma, are you a heretic?"

She smiled reassuringly: "All good things come hard, but Sister Qingmiao's blessing is yet to come!"

"You're right, good things come hard."

Mrs. Jiang was obviously relieved: "I knew you were a sensible child, and you would never be as knowledgeable as your Third Master, an old guy who doesn't know how to wink."

She scolded Patriarch Jiang with a very sincere sound, demeaning him to the point of being worthless.

Jiang Anning smiled slightly awkwardly and did not answer.

In fact, it was this kind of discussion about the rights and wrongs of her elders. Apart from listening, she had no position to respond.

If you really accept these words, you will be out of character.

"Girl An Ning, Mistress knows that you are capable. You are usually busy outside, so you must know a lot of people."

Mrs. Jiang pulled up her sleeves in a hurry: "We don't dare to count on people like Lu Xiucai anymore. Your third master and I are also self-aware. We know that we, with mud legs facing the loess and backs to the sky, cannot climb high." ”

Jiang Anning blinked and looked at the person with confusion.

"Do you think you can help introduce your sister Qingmiao to marriageable families in the city?"

Seeing Jiang Anning's delay in answering, Mrs. Jiang became a little anxious.

Just stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point.

“It doesn’t matter who you are as a scholar, as long as you have a clean financial background and can read, it’s best if you come from a relatively well-off family...”

Jiang Anning finally understood what Jiang Wang was planning, and was speechless for a moment.

"Mistress, you are too flattering to me."

Her tone was tired and helpless: "I don't know anyone who has a well-off family and is of marriageable age."

Just as Jiang Wang was about to say something, Jiang Anning interrupted her first.

"If I really knew any young talents of marriageable age, how could I have arranged a marriage with Zhao Hai in the first place? How could I be alone now..."

Jiang Anning pretended to wipe her eyes twice, as if she was feeling sentimental about her tragic fate.

"Don't say that I don't have anyone suitable to introduce to Sister Qingmiao. Even if I do, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense?"

Mr. Jiang Wang wanted to say it doesn’t matter, you just need to introduce a few good ones.

"After all, it was only because I was blind that I mistook Zhao Hai for a good man and thought that the Zhao family was all good."

Jiang Anning raised her eyes and looked at the person very sincerely: "I dare to introduce Qingmiao, Mistress, do you dare to meet me?"

Jiang Wangshi:......

As if the expression on the person's face was frozen, Jiang Anning continued to ask sincerely: "Aren't you afraid that I will be blind again?"

Jiang Wangshi:......

"I am unlucky. It is difficult for my marriage to go smoothly. I only hope that the people around me can be harmonious and beautiful."

Jiang Anning's tone was sincere: "If I am really lucky enough to introduce some young talents to Sister Qingmiao..."

"No, no need."

Mrs. Jiang subconsciously refused.

I felt regretful later.

But if he wanted to save it, he would swallow it back unconsciously as soon as it reached his mouth.

She really couldn't make up her mind.

After all, Jiang Anning's marriage was so bumpy, and he was indeed not a blessed person.

Wouldn't it be harmful to her granddaughter to introduce someone as cruel as Zhao Hai to her granddaughter later?

Mrs. Jiang became increasingly shaken.

She also hopes that her granddaughter will marry a good family. What if Jiang Anning gets involved?

"Huh?"

Jiang Anning looked extremely innocent and blinked: "Is it really unnecessary?"

"No need!"

Mrs. Jiang had an awkward smile on her lips: "My mistress was just joking with you, please don't take her seriously."

"Okay then."

Jiang Anning looked at the person, slightly confused: "Actually, I really remembered a few young talents who were looking for someone else. Mr. Liu in the county was a man who could read, and he also found a job in the county school. It's an errand!" "No..." Jiang Wang stopped abruptly when he refused, and looked at Jiang Anning with bright eyes: "I wonder how old Mr. Liu is this year? Who is there in his family? Who do you want to talk about? ”

"He is as talented as a weakling. His parents are still alive at home. He is an only son. The family does not have a small income. He said he wants to find a practical, capable and agile wife."

Mrs. Jiang was immediately moved.

"It's best to have someone with some experience in raising children. Mr. Liu has a pair of twins in his family, which is very rare!"

Mrs. Jiang Wang: "Parenting experience? Do you have a pair of twins?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and she looked at Jiang Anning in disbelief: "Don't tell me, these twins are from Mr. Liu's first marriage, and now he wants to renew their relationship!"

How could this girl fool someone like this?

What to do with her young crops?

Mrs. Jiang Wang was so angry that her face turned black.

"No way."

Jiang Anning was a little helpless: "When he was studying in Fucheng, Mr. Liu's mother was worried that there would be no people around her son who could take care of him, and she was also afraid that he would learn bad things from some unscrupulous people outside, so she chose Two lovely people are waiting beside him."

"Choose two people to serve you by your side?" Prince Jiang muttered and repeated, and then she actually reacted for a while: "Concubine?!"

Farmers rarely take concubines.

In the final analysis, it is just because of the word "poor".

The old farmers who depend on the weather have worked hard for a year and paid taxes on the fields. The remaining grain can sustain the family's rations, which is already very good.

Where is the spare money to take in another room for a delicate concubine who is too weak to take care of herself, so that she can have enough money to eat?

At most, I just think about it in my heart. When I have some spare money in my pocket, I can go to Fireworks Willow Lane to have some fun.

Prince Jiang had never seen anyone take concubines, but she had heard of the rules.

"How can a concubine give birth to a child before his wife is married?"

Based on this alone, she no longer has a good impression of Mr. Liu.

"That's exactly what you're talking about!"

Jiang Anning sighed: "I heard that it was because of this matter that Mr. Liu's marriage was delayed again and again, and he never found a suitable family. Otherwise, it would only be a hundred taels of betrothal gift and the conditions of a shop in the county. It’s enough to make many people excited.”

Mrs. Jiang was a little undecided: "Apart from this, does Mr. Liu have no other problems?"

Jiang Anning shook his head.

"Then he is so good, why don't you find a matchmaker yourself and come to talk about things?"

Mrs. Jiang Wang looked at the person suspiciously, always feeling that this matter was not that simple.

In addition to what Jiang Anning said before, she was very skeptical about the way people choose men.

Jiang Anning squeaked: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Mistress. I'm a petty person, and I hate others getting involved in my things."

She wiped her eyes and wiped away the tears that had not been squeezed out: "Originally, I was not very angry about Zhao Hai cheating me of my dowry money."

"Just a little money..."

Mrs. Jiang Wang had a bad feeling in her heart.

Jiang Anning's eyebrows suddenly became angry: "But he should never, never should have defrauded me of my dowry money, squandered it, and even secretly raised an illegitimate wife!"

"What?"

Mrs. Jiang was shocked: "Zhao Hai actually raised a foreign wife?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Anning nodded her head: "That's why I can't help myself."

"The same is true for Mr. Liu."

She smiled bitterly: "Ordinary people may be tempted by the conditions of the Liu family, as long as they don't mind having two bastards as soon as they pass through the door. But I am a petty person... I can't be like other women." To enjoy the right to use a man, not to mention buying clothes for the four seasons, he has to select a group of young and beautiful girls to be his concubines every now and then. "

"What?"

Mrs. Jiang was immediately shocked.

"After you're married, it's not just accepting his two concubines, but you also have to arrange for concubines to enter from time to time?"

Isn't this a disease?

Jiang Anning nodded: "Most wealthy families are indeed like this. I didn't know that Sister Qingmiao..."

"No!"

Mrs. Jiang immediately jumped: "This is absolutely not possible!"

"My family is a bit poor, but we are not so poor that we have to sell our daughter to eat in a latrine!"

She glared at Jiang Anning angrily: "You'd better not come to introduce me!"

“There are really not many reliable ones!”

Jiang Anning smiled and said, "Okay, mistress!"

That cheerful tone made it hard not to suspect that she did it on purpose.

Jiang Wangshi:......

When Jiang Anning saw someone staring at her, hesitating to speak, her face was so tangled that she almost twisted her head, and she immediately smiled: "Do you want to hear about other people's situations, Mistress? I also know. A few..."

"No need!"

Mrs. Jiang was afraid that she would say something outrageous about the young talents of marriageable age, so she hurriedly went out to tease people.

After sending the person out, Mrs. Jiang Wang felt more and more unhappy the more she thought about it.

On the one hand, I feel that Jiang Anning's vision is hard to describe.

On the other hand, I felt that Mr. Liu's conditions sounded really good.

Not to mention getting married in their countryside, even in the entire Jiang'an County, there were few families who could afford a betrothal gift of a hundred taels and a shop.

After much deliberation, Mrs. Jiang Wang called her granddaughter over and told people about Mr. Liu's situation.

"...Young young girl, look, how about you feel aggrieved?"

Jiang Qingmiao's eyes widened: "Nai, what are you talking about? What's the difference between me marrying into such a family and becoming a stepmother?"

"Since I'm going to be a stepmother, I might as well go to Lu Xiucai's house. It just suits my master's wishes and saves him from complaining about me every day because his eyes are not eyes and his nose is not a nose."

Jiang Qingmiao's words are not surprising and he will never stop.

"You kid, what are you talking about? How could you marry into Lu Xiucai's family..."

Mrs. Jiang's voice suddenly paused: "Is there something you are hiding from me and your father? I just said, well, why did Lu Xiucai suddenly come to cancel the engagement? Do you know anything?"

Jiang Qingmiao pursed her lips and stood aside, silent.

"Speak!"

Mrs. Jiang was extremely anxious: "Are you trying to kill me?"

"What are you arguing about? I can hear you two arguing and getting angry all the way outside."

Patriarch Jiang changed his clothes, combed his hair again, walked in from the outside, and looked at Jiang Qingmiao, the granddaughter he had previously placed high hopes on. His nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. He scolded her indiscriminately and without explanation. He stood up and said, "How old are you? How can I still be ignorant and make you angry again?"
