Chapter 287
"This, the aunt in charge didn't say anything."
Sheng Ji frowned and said, "However, the aunt in charge said that Madam also knows about this matter."
"My mother?"
Jiang Wei was slightly surprised.
I can't figure it out, how could this happen to his mother?
Shengji nodded: "That's what the aunt in charge did say."
"Mrs. Hou said that she had met Princess Shao'an several times when she visited Concubine Jiang in the palace... Concubine Jiang would often talk about Princess Shao'an in front of Madam Hou. Things.”
Shengji held up his hands and said: "It is precisely because of this that I feel that this matter may be the key clue to unlocking the identity of Princess Shao'an."
Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes.
Then he sneered and said: "In other words, the key to finding out who Princess Shao'an is is my mother."
He chuckled a few times: "But haven't you ever thought that the aunt in charge might have lied to you?"
Jiang Wei even felt ridiculous.
If his mother really knew any clues and had really met this so-called Princess Shao'an, how could she have watched him indifferently in order to investigate the identity of Princess Shao'an for more than half a year.
How could he not know anything about it and not be able to remember anything?
Shengji lowered his head: "I have thought about it..."
Jiang Wei frowned: "Then you return it?"
He looked at his capable subordinate with some suspicion.
I don’t know what kind of medicine he is selling in this gourd?
"Before I came to see you, I went to see Mrs. Hou."
Shengji's voice was calm.
Jiang Wei looked at Shengji in surprise: "What did my mother say?"
"Does he really have an impression of this so-called Princess Shao'an?"
"Could it be that something you said caused her memory to be guided and she remembered it wrong for a while?"
Jiang Wei was still very suspicious.
Sheng Ji shook his head: "My subordinates just asked whether Concubine Jiang had any good relationships with her during her lifetime, or whether she had summoned anyone into the palace to accompany her when she was in the palace..."
< br>
As soon as he said this, Jiang Wei already understood.
What the aunt in charge said might really be true!
Ajie was really on good terms with Princess Shao'an during her lifetime, and it was very possible that she had a very good relationship with her.
I’ve seen his mother-in-law before!
Or maybe I heard it from her sister.
"Who is this person?"
Jiang Wei looked at Sheng Ji and already guessed that since he came to tell him, there was a high probability that there was enough evidence.
Shengji hesitated for a moment, as if he was hesitant in his own judgment, and as if it was difficult to say this person's name.
"Young Master of the Imperial Prefecture..."
His voice became much softer, as if he was afraid that he would disturb the gods by making loud noises and make the gods displeased.
Jiang Wei also looked incredulous.
I even wondered if there was something wrong with my ears.
"Who?"
Young Master of the Imperial Prefecture? !
Is that someone he can afford?
How could the person in the palace grant him a marriage to the young master of the Imperial Prefecture...
Not to mention whether the Imperial Preceptor’s Office will agree with this imperial edict, nor where did the person in the palace get the courage and courage to issue the imperial edict to the Imperial Preceptor’s office in an attempt to order the Imperial Preceptor? The government must obey the decree, or grant a marriage, which is very easy to anger the other party.
Simply speaking, the palace's attitude towards Jiang'anhou's Mansion has always been that they can't wait to get rid of it... How could they issue an imperial edict to marry Jiang'anhou's Mansion to the Imperial Master's Mansion?
Aren't you worried that the powerful and ambitious Jiang Anhou Mansion might want to rebel and ban his supreme position?
Jiang Wei asked in an uncertain voice: "Has this young master of the Imperial Prefecture made some mistake and is about to be expelled from the Imperial Prefecture?"
Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any reason that would allow the person in the palace to help him match up with the young master of the National Prefect's Mansion and arrange a marriage.
It can only be that this young gentleman was expelled from the Imperial Prefect's Office when he did something treacherous.
That person wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bring him together with the criminals of the Imperial Prefecture, and from then on, he became the target of being hunted down and destroyed by the Imperial Prefecture.
The more Jiang Wei thought about it, the more he felt that this was the possibility.
However, Shengji shook his head: "I have inquired about it. The young master of the Imperial Prefecture has won the respect of the Imperial Preceptor. A few days ago, he took people to travel to secret places and dangerous places. He just returned to the capital recently."
Well respected...
Jiang Wei frowned tightly.
So, did the man in the palace really want to bring him together with the young master of the Duke's Mansion?
How is this possible?
Sheng Ji seemed to see the person's confusion and reminded him warmly: "My subordinates are thinking that since Concubine Jiang had a good relationship with this young gentleman in the past and had many contacts with him, even Mrs. Hou heard Concubine Jiang mention it. Passing by Mr. Shaojun, I must have heard Concubine Jiang mention you before!”
"You mean..."
No matter how confident Jiang Wei was, he did not dare to follow Sheng Ji's reminder.
However, Shengji seems to have been confirmed, and he is reminded again by insinuating himself.
"The person in the palace may not have the courage and ability to dare to issue an imperial edict to the Imperial Preceptor's Office. But if the Imperial Preceptor's Office wants to have the palace issue an imperial edict to marry someone, I'm afraid it's... It’s just a matter of words.”
There was yearning and admiration hidden in Shengji's tone: "It's even very possible that no one from the Imperial Prefect's Office is needed to go to the palace to meet that person in person."
"I just need to take a photo of a person doing chores and let me know."
"The one in the palace will immediately get things done as quickly as possible."
Shengji once again reminds people: "Think about it, does this decree of marriage come too inexplicably and too suddenly?"
"This is most likely not the original wish of the person in the palace."
If it's not the original wish of the person who issued the imperial edict, then it is... the intention of the person who was given the marriage?
It could only be the thoughts of one of the two people who were given the marriage.
Jiang Wei is still self-aware.
After Sister's death, how the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion was treated harshly and made things difficult for him by the man in the palace didn't need to be described in detail. It was obvious to everyone.
In the capital, almost everyone was watching the joke at Jiang'anhou Mansion.
He is not so confused that he cannot recognize himself, and he is so arrogant that he thinks that he controls the will of the one in the palace.
If it wasn't him, then it could only be another person who was given the marriage.
This princess of Shao'an has been mysterious for a long time, and her identity has only just surfaced.
Young Master of the Imperial Prefecture...
Jiang Wei never thought in his life that he would have such an honor to be married to the young master of the Imperial Prefecture.
"Isn't this a little too ridiculous?"
Jiang Wei still couldn't believe it.
He frowned and said in a deep voice: "No, I'm going to see my mother-in-law!"
It was really hard for him to accept and believe some words without asking him or hearing them with his own ears.
The young master of the Imperial Prefecture...how could such a person with hands and eyes like the sky descend to the mortal world and fall in love with him?
For the first time, Jiang Wei felt an unprecedented lack of confidence in his heart.
In the yard of Mrs. Jiang Anhou.
Mrs. Jiang Anhou was extremely happy when she heard that her youngest son was coming.
He hurriedly ordered the maids and maids in the yard, and they all started preparing food and drinks that Jiang Wei liked.
"Bring me that gold-woven cushion. This child has been squeamish since he was a child, and he was spoiled rotten by his elder sister, who is so precious."
"He can't get used to sitting on the soft cushion next to him."
When Mrs. Jiang Anhou mentioned her eldest daughter, a touch of sadness quietly appeared on her face, and her heart was sore.
If the eldest daughter was still alive, she would definitely choose a good marriage for her younger brother. Where would it be like now?
The imperial edict granting marriage has been issued for more than half a year.
They have not yet seen the woman's face.
Even if I want to walk through etiquette, I don’t know where to go.
well!
Mrs. Jiang Anhou could not help but feel resentful in her heart.
This woman's family is too ignorant of etiquette.
They don't know his identity and can't visit him at home.
Are they just like them, knowing nothing?
In the capital city, there have long been rumors about Jiang Wei's marriage.
I don’t even know how many people have started to see their family’s jokes.
And that person with a vicious mouth said that the people in the palace who gave his son a marriage were not living people at all, but dead people who had found them from nowhere. .
Maybe he's still a beggar wandering around the city.
After freezing to death on the street, there was no one to collect the body.
The even more vicious one said that this was most likely not a woman.
Mrs. Jiang Anhou has heard too many such sarcastic and sarcastic remarks these days, and her heart is filled with fire, which makes her sick with anger.
But things have become so big.
The woman actually acted as if she didn't know anything. She didn't take the initiative to visit her, nor did she come out to protect their family from rumors.
Just like this, he was hiding somewhere and secretly watching their jokes.
It's simply too much!
The more Mrs. Jianghou thought about it, the more she felt depressed.
She even felt that she was a very amiable mother-in-law.
I never set any rules for my daughters-in-law.
But now, she has already thought about it. When this daughter-in-law who doesn't know etiquette gets married, she must have someone teach him the rules.
There are also in-laws who don’t know their importance.
It would be better to have less contact in the future.
Really ignorant.
When Mrs. Jiang An was bored, she heard the voices of greetings coming from outside one after another, and she suddenly became happy again.
She stood up with a smile and hurried outside to greet him.
Before Jiang Wei could say hello, he hurriedly grabbed the person and looked at him carefully.
"Growing taller."
"I also lost a lot of weight."
Mrs. Jiang Anhou's eyes were full of distress: "Are the people around you not serving them with all their heart?"
"Hey, mother~"
Jiang Wei was really helpless: "How old am I? Where can I grow taller?"
"I'm not thin either."
"These days I eat and drink well. In addition to staying at home and playing chess, I just read some non-nutritious story books. Otherwise, I listen to operas and tend to the flowers and plants. I am almost going to mold and grow mushrooms when I am idle."
< br>
“Where can I lose weight?”
"I've gained a lot of weight."
"If this continues, I'm afraid that when it comes time to get married, I won't even be able to wear the wedding clothes."
Mrs. Jiang Anhou glared at him: "Where are you fat?"
"It looks pretty good to me."
"It would be better to be fatter."
"Being fat is lucky."
Jiang Wei stopped entangled with others on this topic, smiled and said a few haha, which made the old man happy, so he let the matter go.
"Why do you have time to think of coming to my place today?"
As soon as Mrs. Jiang Anhou saw it, she knew that the person was not here specifically to see her.
"Hey, mother~ can't I just miss you and come here to see you?"
Jiang Wei rubbed the person and acted coquettishly.
Mrs. Jiang Anhou snorted coldly: "How can I still not know you?"
"I gave birth to you. When you were naked when you were little, and you stuck your butt out, I knew what bad idea you were thinking."
Jiang Weijun's face turned red: "Hey, mother!"
"What are you talking about?"
"There are so many people here, how can I lose face!"
Mrs. Jiang An ignored him: "I have never seen you look so embarrassed."
“It’s still a shame!”
"How many years have you been out and you have learned how to handle Qiaoer?"
Jiang Wei knew that there was no way to explain this to his mother, so he simply changed the subject.
He asked straight to the point: "I came here to visit you."
"But I do have something to ask."
Mrs. Jiang Anhou immediately showed an "I knew it" look.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
Jiang Wei hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to express his words.
My sister's death was a huge blow to my mother-in-law.
He was not sure whether A Niang had really looked away and walked out as she showed.
"Say! Why are you so stunned?"
Mrs. Jiang Anhou hadn't heard anyone speak for a long time, so she couldn't help but urge her.
Jiang Wei sighed: "I wanted to ask, did sister have any good friends during her lifetime? Later, when she entered the palace, she even invited people to accompany her."
"What kind of friends can your sister make?"
Mrs. Jiang Anhou sighed for a while when she mentioned her eldest daughter.
Extremely sad.
"She beats the baby, and she is a mistress who can't wait any longer! She likes to be active rather than quiet, and she is so pampered by your father."
"When the girls of other families are almost old enough to see each other, they are already proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, being a housekeeper, and even being a prostitute."
"But what about her?"
"I spend the whole day dancing with swords and sticks, riding horses and hunting, and there is nothing gentle or demure at all."
"When other people heard about her, they were afraid to avoid our marriage proposal."
Jiang Wei couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Afraid of being avoided? How could it be possible... I remember when my sister was pregnant, countless people came to ask for her hand in marriage, and even the threshold of our house was broken twice."
"One time when the housekeeper was doing repairs, I was still watching from the side."
At that time, he also suggested to the housekeeper that he simply replace the threshold with one made of iron.
It also saves anyone from crossing the threshold of their home.
The housekeeper also laughed at his childish talk.
How come his mother-in-law turned out to be a sister whom no one dares to marry and everyone is afraid to avoid?
