Chapter 42 News
Seeing this, Li Rulan understood Aunt Li's suffering very well and hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Sister, what are you saying? When you cry, sister can't help crying either."
Aunt Li pretended to be strong and said, "I don't have the ability to arrange a good marriage for Jiejun, so I can only ask my sister to help me."
She didn't give up after saying that, her eyes were so big that they were about to fall out, "Sister, you won't help me, right? If you don't even help me, then no one in this world can help me.
Got it!"
Seeing her broken look, Li Rulan hurriedly held her shoulders, "Don't worry, sister, let me think about it. Jiejun is so handsome, how can he be afraid of not meeting a good woman?"
Aunt Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Li Rulan expectantly. She hoped that Li Rulan could introduce a girl from an official family, preferably from a rich or noble family, so that she could be worthy of the Jiang family and her only son.
.
But Aunt Li overestimated Jiang Jiejun, and there were not many families like them in the capital. Although they were not as wealthy as the Jiang family, they were all children of official families in the court. Even Liu Yin, the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs, married
Going to the Jiang family was a last resort, let alone the daughter of an important minister's family, which was beyond her reach.
Li Rulan pondered for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I do have a suitable candidate here, but I don't know if my sister will like him."
Aunt Li's eyes suddenly lit up. All her hard work today was not in vain. If it weren't for Jiang Jiejun, how could she be chatting with Li Rulan here? She didn't want to see Li Rulan, so how could she specially invite her to her room?
It's an eyesore when you come home.
"There is also a little daughter in the family of the minister of household affairs in the middle of the court. Although she is not a legitimate daughter, her appearance and knowledge are first-class. I wonder what my sister thinks?"
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Li's face instantly softened, but she quickly pretended to be very happy, "Really? How old are you?"
"You are now sixteen, and you are in your prime!" Li Rulan smiled even wider. In her mind, this was the most suitable marriage. Even though Jiang Jiejun was able to marry the concubine of the Minister of Household Affairs, it was a high price.
A little, but fortunately Jiang Jiejun is handsome and the other party is not his legitimate daughter, so it is not impossible.
But Aunt Li was very angry. After talking for a long time, she was just a concubine from the household minister's family. Even that fool Jiang Yicheng could marry a legitimate daughter from the official minister's family. How could Jiang Jiejun marry a concubine?
When he comes back, he will definitely be hundreds and thousands of times better than Jiang Yicheng.
"Although we are considered high-ranking people, I have a pretty good relationship with the wife of the Minister of Tobe. If my sister agrees, I will tell you about it as soon as I return to the capital. It's not impossible!"
Li Rulan is sincerely thinking about Jiang Jiejun, and everything she says is true. If the Jiang family proposes marriage, they may not agree. No daughter of any family is willing to marry from the capital to Linzhou, even if Linzhou
No matter how rich you are, you can't be as comfortable as staying at the foot of the imperial city.
Aunt Li was already annoyed. After hearing what she said, she didn’t even want to see her, "Okay, thank you very much, my good sister!"
She held back her anger but didn't dare to express it. She pretended to be grateful and didn't send Li Rulan away until after lunch, but she didn't want to put her hope in Li Rulan anymore.
"Are these clothes and satins?" After Li Rulan left, the maid showed Aunt Li the silks and satins she had brought.
Aunt Li looked at the linen wrapped with satin with disgust, reached out and touched the crimson satin on it, then quickly withdrew her hand and whispered with disdain, "How dare you give me such a shabby cloth?"
, could it be that they are sending beggars away!"
After saying that, he raised his head proudly and prepared to go back to his room to rest and think about Jiang Jiejun's marriage.
She and the little maid next to her had not walked a few steps when they heard several servants gathering together to discuss something, and only heard one of the maids say, "Our young master is really handsome and suave!"
"Don't miss Chun! Do you think the young master can like you?" Another said with disdain.
"That's right, the young master will never marry you even if he marries anyone!" After that, there was a string of sarcastic laughter.
As soon as Aunt Li heard these words, she became very angry. They were all a bunch of slaves, and they actually wanted to take advantage of their master. She didn't know what kind of virtue it was to show herself by peeing in the urine. She was about to rush over and slap her, but one of them
But he suddenly spoke.
"I heard that Prince Jing from the capital is coming to the state for a spring outing recently!"
"Really? Will our Jiang Mansion go?" As soon as they heard the news, they all became excited. After all, everyone has the idea of flying up a branch and becoming a phoenix, not to mention Prince Jing, even if he is
Being a married aunt is a blessing that they will never be able to achieve in their lifetimes.
"Don't think about it. Prince Jing is the same age as your father! How shameless!" Suddenly a man's voice appeared from inside, interrupting their sweet dream with disdain.
"It's better that you follow me and I'll let you enjoy happiness for the rest of your life!" The man said a little arrogantly, but was despised by several maids.
"Following you, we are the ones who have been unlucky for eight lifetimes!" Suddenly several people started making noises and teasing each other.
But since Aunt Li heard them talking about Prince Jing's coming, she had fallen into deep thought. She didn't hear a word of what was said later, and she was secretly planning.
I heard that although Prince Jing does not manage the major affairs of the court, he still has a powerful task. There is also a legitimate daughter in the family, Zhao Waner, who has not yet become a monk. I heard that she is extremely beautiful. Many people in the capital are vying to marry her. Now it's a big deal.
Let them catch the good opportunity.
But then she thought about it, couldn't it be a few maids and servants spreading rumors? Aunt Li rushed out and stood in front of several people, "If you keep chewing your tongue, don't blame me for pulling out your tongue."
!”
As soon as Aunt Li appeared, they were too frightened to speak. Each of them turned pale and hurriedly knelt on the ground to beg for help. Aunt Li was very vicious. She pulled out her tongue. Others might just be trying to scare others, but Aunt Li was serious.
Someone who can make a difference.
"Auntie, we don't dare to do that anymore!" one by one cried and begged.
Suddenly Aunt Li's expression changed slightly, "The Prince Jing you just mentioned——"
"Auntie, I know, I know." The servant knelt down at Auntie Li's feet, "Auntie, I heard that Prince Jing and his family are coming to the state for a spring outing to enjoy the scenery, and they also want to bring their female relatives with them."
Aunt Li's eyes flashed and she said condescendingly, "If you are talking nonsense, I want you to look good!"
