The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"You also know about this?" Jiang was not too surprised, because Zuo Xiangning came back from the north twice and was sent back by Ling Xiao.

"I used to have a good impression of Ling Xiao, but now Ling Xiao is in a turmoil with the Zhongyuan Hou Mansion. Even though it seems calm on the surface now, what about Xiang Ning's marriage? What if she recognizes Zhongyuan Hou? If she doesn’t recognize her, then there’s no telling what the outside world will do to her. Also, wasn’t Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou planning to marry her niece to Ling Xiao? Now that niece has arrived. Everyone in the capital said they came here for Ling Xiao, and besides, the princess of the Xianwang family has been thinking about him." Jiang sighed, and then said: "And that Ling Xiao, what kind of temper does he have? ? Just because of the portrait of the Supreme Emperor and the support of Mrs. Wei Guo, he was favored by the Supreme Emperor and was lawless. Even though he has restrained himself a lot now, the temper he has developed since he was a child can be changed? Our family Xiang Ning He also has a doughty temperament, can he be his opponent?"

Zuo Zixi smiled and said, "So you think so carefully?"

"How could I not care about the marriage of your children? Only when you are all happy can I be truly happy." Jiang continued: "Especially Xiang Ning, her biological mother became her aunt for me. And because I lost my life saving Zimo, I swore at that time that I would treat Xiang Ning as my own child, so I will naturally be cautious about her affairs."

"What you said makes sense, but have you ever thought that Xiang Ning now is no longer the Xiang Ning she used to be? She is an independent adult. Even if we are doing it for her own good, we may not be able to do anything about it. Her master," Zuo Zixi said calmly, "What's more, Xiang Ning and Ruochen's marriage has been discussed twice. If it doesn't happen again, it is very likely that the relationship between us and our maternal family will be really hurt. "

Jiang said: "I didn't promise your grandmother."

"But what if your silence is taken as acquiescence?" Zuo Zixi asked.

Jiang's face changed slightly, stood up and said, "I'm going to find your grandmother now."

"Mom, Ruochen is my nephew. In my heart, Ruochen has always been a good child. However, Xiang Ning and Ruochen's marriage has been discussed twice and can no longer be discussed." Mrs. Jiang pulled Old Mrs. Jiang's hand. He held his hand and said softly: "If this fails, not only will the two children feel awkward, but the sister-in-law will also easily misunderstand."

Mrs. Jiang had just finished talking to Mr. Jiang, and was still preparing what to say to her eldest daughter-in-law, when she heard her daughter say such words, she couldn't help but frown slightly, "Is Xiang Ning unhappy?"

Jiang's heart tightened, and she quickly explained with a smile: "Marriage matters are all decided by parents, how can children have any say? It is my daughter who feels that Xiang Ning's marriage has many twists and turns, and wants to wait first."

"Since it's not Xiang Ning's intention, then everything will be easy to handle." Old Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and whispered: "Your sister-in-law asked Ruochen a few days ago what kind of wife he wanted to find, and the result...you Guess what your silly nephew answered?"

Jiang was a little afraid to ask, "What did he say?"

"He said he wanted to be like Xiang Ning." Old Mrs. Jiang said with a smile.

"Then sister-in-law is not angry after hearing this?" Jiang thought about it and found that sister-in-law seemed a little unhappy in the past two days.

"Which parent in the world can really control their children?" Mrs. Jiang said: "I was thinking that Xiang Ning was not born by you, and she has no blood relationship with Ruochen. She will not be able to affect the next generation of children in the future, but she can Isn’t it great that it can deepen the relationship between their generation?”

Jiang also thought it was good, but she was afraid that Zuo Xiangning would not agree.

"Mother, this matter should not be rushed. Xiang Ning has been through a lot of things recently. She told me before that she wanted not to talk about marriage." Jiang said as tactfully as possible: "Mother, Xiang Ning is a good child. But she looks too outstanding..."

Mrs. Jiang also thinks that Zuo Xiangning's appearance is too gorgeous, but now she has an eldest sister who is a queen, and an eldest brother who is a general. How can this not protect her?

"Just because she is so good-looking, she should stay at home." Old Mrs. Jiang said, "Putting her outside makes people really uneasy." Mrs. Jiang seemed to be a little bit annoyed by Old Mrs. Jiang again. She was convinced, after all, Jiang Ruochen was her nephew, and in her eyes, he was much better than others.

"Daughter, let's not mention this matter to anyone for now. After the New Year, let's find an opportunity to have a good chat with the two children. If they don't have any objections, let's make an appointment for the two of them to get married. How about ?" Mrs. Jiang asked Mr. Jiang with a smile.

"You keep saying that, what else can your daughter say?" Jiang said with a smile: "It's just that mother must promise me not to tell anyone outside now. Also, if the two children don't come together in the future, you must also You can’t be angry with our mother and daughter.”

"I gave birth to you, how can I still be angry with you?" Mrs. Jiang agreed with a smile, "I am getting older, so I hope you are all well."

Jiang added: "We can't even mention it to my sister-in-law and Ruochen."

"understood."

Old Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "The Chinese New Year is in a few days. Your sister-in-law said that she wanted to move to the Jiang family's small house, but I didn't let you. Your father and I finally spent the Chinese New Year in the capital, so naturally we have to spend time with our daughter. In one place.”

"That's natural." Jiang said with a smile: "I have people prepare all the New Year's goods. If you don't celebrate the New Year with me, you won't be able to finish all those New Year's goods until the dragon raises its head."

"Although we are celebrating the New Year with you, we still have to pay for some expenses." Old Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "Your sister-in-law asked me how much money I should give you, and I said just give you less."

"My mother-in-law's family is here to celebrate the New Year, how can I still ask for money?" Jiang said with a smile.

"If she gives it, you can continue it. Even if you give a reward to the maid in the house, it is still good." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile.

"That's fine." Jiang nodded in agreement.

Two days later, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Zuo Xiangning asked Bingyu to go to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Ask them if they have any news about Marquis Jingyuan. Also, take a look. If it's convenient, just remind them that this is the first year of Marquis Jingyuan's mansion. Hang more lanterns everywhere to celebrate the New Year. You must pay attention to safety and don't cause a fire. Also, although Jingyuan Marquis is not here, the people in the government should still give some of their New Year's rewards... Take a look, if it is convenient, just mention it, if it is inconvenient, just mention it. Don't mention it, if he is short of money, just tell them that I have the profits from several shops in Marquis Jingyuan."

Bingyu agreed and went out.

An hour later, Bingyu came back and said: "When the Marquis left the capital, he left his long follower Chang Ming in the capital. Chang Ming said that before leaving the capital, the Marquis said that everything in the Hou Mansion was controlled by You decide. Chang Ming said, go order more lanterns today and let people light them in the courtyard where no one lives. There is also a reward for everyone. How much is the appropriate reward for you? There are two in the Hou Mansion now. Ten girls, eight mothers-in-law, and thirty-two guards. The Marquis said, wait for you... wait for you to marry, and then add new girls and mothers-in-law, lest they disobey you."

Zuo Xiangning felt soft after hearing this and said, "Let's reward each person with two silver taels of one tael. You can take someone to Zhang Tuna to pick them up tomorrow."
