Prosperous advisors

Chapter 974: On the Eve of the Expedition (2)
The Jiang family had already turned upside down about this matter, the eldest wife of the Jiang family dragged her daughter to tears, and the old lady of the Jiang family also looked at her granddaughter with a worried expression.It's a good thing for a granddaughter to be promising, but she's too promising... Now the situation is clearly beyond their tolerance.Yuyan is not young anymore, she is 19 years old this year, she is already an old girl, if she is dispatched to a poor place, wouldn't her life be ruined?
"Grandmother, mother..." Jiang Yuyan stroked her forehead helplessly, and looked at Jiang Yu on the other side for help.Jiang Yu shrugged and said that there was nothing he could do, because he had been scolded bloody by his grandmother and mother for supporting his younger sister to attend the palace examination, so how could he dare to say anything now?It was Jiang Taifu who frowned, and said impatiently: "Okay! Why are you crying? The imperial decree has already come down. If you have that time to cry, you might as well go and tidy up and salute for Yan'er! See if there is anything left behind, in the future It’s not as convenient as being in the imperial city after going out.” Mrs. Jiang’s family was taken aback for a moment, then she remembered and quickly wiped away her tears and said, “Father said yes, my daughter-in-law will clean up now.” Second Mrs. Jiang also hurried Helped my sister-in-law and brought her daughter in to pack up.

Seeing the sad and worried faces of her mother and grandmother, Jiang Yuyan also felt a little guilty.Jiang Taifu looked at his granddaughter and sighed: "From now on...it will be up to you. Originally, if you really didn't want to get married, even if you stayed in the imperial city, our Jiang family could protect you even if you were criticized, so these two Nian's family didn't really force you to do anything, but they didn't want to..."

"Grandfather, Yan'er is self-willed, and grandfather is worried." Jiang Yuyan knelt down on the ground, whispering with red eyes.

Jiang Taifu sighed, stretched out his hand to pull his granddaughter up and said: "Although you are a girl, it is the glory of my Jiang family to be able to pass the imperial examination with your own ability. But in the future, neither grandfather, father nor your elder brother will be able to take care of you." You, this pain... Forget it, come back if you can't bear it, our family will always wait for you at home, don't force yourself. "

Jiang Yuyan nodded again and again, her eyes were already clouded with tears.Jiang Taifu also talked about a lot of things in the officialdom and the principles of life.In the end, he had to sigh and said: "It's useless to say these things, your grandfather and I never went out to be an official." Jiang's family is young and old, and one of them has never been an official.In the official circles of this world, there is nobility, what is nobility?Examination Jinshi, such as Hanlin, enters the sixth department, which is called Qinggui.Officials who have always been let go always make people feel so inferior.Not to mention the big officials of the frontiers, in order to prevent the former officials of the frontiers from becoming ambitious and committing chaos, Xiyue started from the governors of the second rank and above, and officials like the governors changed their places every five years.Therefore, officials with backgrounds and backgrounds are generally not happy to be released.More importantly, the rate of promotion of external officials is much slower than that of Beijing officials.Like Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu was 21 years old and passed the imperial examination.Even if he started to rise from the fourth rank according to the number one scholar, even if his performance was excellent every year, at the age of 29 this year, he would only be a third rank at most.

Jiang Yuyan respectfully said: "Grandfather, father, please rest assured that Yuyan will not lose face of the Jiang family."

The Jiang family's son also sighed, why were they worried about losing the Jiang family's face?They were worried about what happened to Yuyan.He stretched out his hand to pull his daughter up, and said in a deep voice, "Father has no skills, and he doesn't know what he can teach you. From now on, you should be careful in everything, and write more letters to ask your grandfather and elder brother if there is anything you don't understand."

"Yes, father." Jiang Yuyan nodded with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Yu coughed lightly and said, "Yuyan is leaving tomorrow, please don't make her suffer anymore, grandfather. You should first think about who you want to bring with you."

Jiang Taifu glanced at his grandson appreciatively. Among the children and grandchildren in the house, this eldest grandson is the most reliable. "Yu'er, what do you say?"

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said: "Don't take the girl who serves Yuyan on weekdays, and hand over all the deeds of the nanny's family to Yuyan. The nanny took care of Yuyan when she grew up, and she is honest. Just add the nanny to her. It is enough for the eldest son to stay. In addition, choose four more personal guards. Although Yuyan is a woman, since she is going out to be an official, she must look like an official, and don't bring too many people."

Jiang Taifu nodded, "Very well, just follow Yu'er's instructions. In addition, prepare more bank notes for Yan'er to take with you. When you go out, you can lose everything but not less money."

"Yes, grandfather." Jiang Yu replied respectfully.

"Yuyan! Yuyan!" Tang Xiaofei's familiar voice came to mind outside the door, Jiang Yuyan was startled, and quickly walked up to her.Before he reached the door, he saw Tang Xiaofei walking in excitedly with a bag in his arms. He was taken aback when he saw the dignified atmosphere in the room, and quickly reflected, "I've seen Mr. Jiang!" Jiang Taifu raised his eyebrows and said: "Girl of the Tang family, what are you doing?"

Tang Xiaofei looked at Jiang Yuyan, smiled and said, "Yuyan is going to be an official in Zhuozhou, and I will protect her."

"Are you going too?" Everyone in the Jiang family couldn't help being surprised, and Jiang Yu asked aloud.Tang Xiaofei said: "What's the problem? Although I'm a girl, it's not a problem to show that there are three or five young masters like you." Jiang Yu looked at the woman in front of him with some amusement, and there was something wrong in her eyes. The word "nerd".Obviously, he looked down on Jiang Yu, a scholar who didn't practice martial arts and only knew how to write.

Jiang Taifu frowned and said, "Girl Tang, has General Tang agreed to this matter?" Although Tang Xiaofei and Jiang Yuyan have a good relationship, the Jiang family who are scholars and the Tang family who are generals really have nothing to say, so the relationship is just average so-so.It would be troublesome if General Tang made a fuss because he abducted the girl from the Tang family.

Tang Xiaofei smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I naturally came here after talking to my father. Yuyan, how is it? Is this girl a good friend?" Jiang Yuyan smiled and asked in a low voice: "General Tang really agrees Already?" Tang Xiaofei nodded and said: "Naturally, I have fought with my father several times in the past few days to get him to agree. Why would I lie to you about this kind of thing?"

"That's good." Jiang Yuyan smiled lightly.Jiang Yuyan was still a little nervous about going so far away to be an official.Now that Tang Xiaofei was with her, it was somewhat comforting.

The Jiang family was also very happy. Although they felt a little sorry for the Tang family, it was Tang Xiaofei who wanted to get it after all.There is a girl they have known since childhood to accompany them, so they should feel more at ease.At least there is no need to worry about Yuyan being wronged or having any worries, but she can only support herself alone.

"Thank you so much..."

"The decree has arrived!"

Outside the door, the butler of Jiang's mansion hurriedly came to report, "Old Master, the imperial decree has arrived."
