Chapter 736: Marrying the Wrong Person
"Didn't Yazi recommend it to you? But you just don't like it. You think it's too expensive, too small, and the environment is not good. Even Yazi was pissed off by you and left."
Sun Wanhe was speechless. He had always thought that scholars were difficult to deal with. They were arrogant, but they didn't have the ability to do so.
"Don't you see what location he recommended? Can it compare to this place?"
"This place is already inhabited by a wealthy family. If you go out and rent a house like this, you won't be able to do so without spending over a hundred taels. Don't be so unreasonable. You have to leave today whether you want to or not."
Hearing the argument, Jiang Youzhen shook his head.
"Tie these three people up here first and make your arrangements later. Let's go to the Qian family first! Has Qingyan returned from preparing the wedding gifts?"
Qing Lang nodded and said, "The things have been placed in the carriage. Would you like to take a look?"
"No need for that. You won't go wrong if you buy according to the gift list." Jiang Youzhen was too lazy to look at it anymore. These two people were reliable.
After leaving the yard, Jiang Youzhen climbed into the carriage.
Qing Lang muttered, "What's going on? These tenants deserve it. They didn't even look at the deeds."
Jiang Youzhen did not mention this matter after arriving at Qian's house. He planned to find an inn to stay in at night so as not to worry Qian Chongen.
When Master's wife Kong saw Jiang Youzhen again, she was very enthusiastic and smiling, but there seemed to be a hint of sadness hidden in her smile.
Unexpectedly, Qian Ru was also there, and there was a strange man standing next to her, who should be her husband.
"Master's Wife!" Jiang Youzhen stepped forward and saluted, then nodded to Qian Ru, "Junior Sister!"
"Senior Brother!" Qian Ru saw Jiang Youzhen again, as if she were in another world.
Thinking back to when her mother said she wanted to marry her to Jiang Youzhen, she of course agreed. After all, Jiang Youzhen was a young talent with a promising future. Plus, he was handsome, how could a girl not be happy?
Unfortunately, my father disagreed, saying that they were not a good match.
Afterwards, she found a husband for her. When she thought of Qin Shuang, her eyes dimmed. After all, she married the wrong person.
Jiang Youzhen saw that she had a slight sadness between her brows. It had only been more than two months since they got married. Why did she not feel happy?
Looking at the husband next to her, he was handsome, tall, and a scholar. However, she was not happy with the way he looked at her, as if he was a person who thought highly of himself.
He smiled at the other person, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Qian Chongen.
"Let me introduce you. This is my student, Jiang Youzhen. He is currently serving as a reader in the Hanlin Academy, and this time he is back home to visit his relatives." Qian Chongen introduced his son-in-law.
"This is my son-in-law, his name is Qin Shuang, from the Qin family of Taiyuan."
Taiyuan Qin family? Isn't that a famous century-old family in the previous dynasty?
The Qin family was very prestigious. It was said that many of their clansmen served as officials in the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Since the previous emperor ascended the throne, the status of the Qin family has plummeted.
Nowadays, there are not many Qin family members serving as officials in the court, and most of them are not in important positions. A great family has become a ruined family, with only the name of a scholarly family.
After all, Qin was very loyal to the previous dynasty, which made the previous emperor very unhappy. Although he later gave in, his status was not as good as before.
But the guy who just said he was the cousin of Qian Chongen's son-in-law, it seems he is here to ask for money? Could it be that after Junior Sister got married, she has been living in the capital and not going to Taiyuan?
Although he had many questions in his mind, Jiang Youzhen didn't dare to ask them out loud.
"Is it Master Jiang? I have heard that my father has a disciple who is a young talent and won the first place in the imperial examination at the tender age of sixteen. It turns out that it is the one in front of me. It is really better to meet him in person than to hear about him."
He bowed solemnly and said, "Student Qin Shuang greets Master Jiang!"
"No need to be so polite. I'm your student and we're all family." Jiang Youzhen said politely. When he heard her identity, his eyes lit up, which was intriguing.
"Please take your seats quickly, the feast is about to begin!" Qian Chongen said.
"Are you used to living in the capital? I heard from the master that you were promoted as soon as you entered the court. The master said at the beginning that you are extraordinary, and now it has been verified."
Kong pulled Jiang Youzhen to sit down. The more she looked at him, the happier she became. If her master had not refused to agree, she would have insisted on proposing this marriage.
"I'm used to it! How are you, Master's wife? Last time I heard that you had rheumatism in your knees, so I went to see a famous doctor and made some Tianma Pills. I brought them back this time, Master's wife, please remember to take them."
Kong was very happy to hear this, "You are still thoughtful and thinking of me."
In a blink of an eye, she saw her good son-in-law Qin Shuang, and her smile faded a little.
Qian Chongen ordered the meal to start, and everyone started. During the meal, Qin Shuang frequently toasted Jiang Youzhen, and Jiang Youzhen had to drink a few glasses to give Qian Chongen face.
So far, I have found that Qin Shuang is good at speaking and likes to make friends with the rich and powerful. Knowing that Jiang Youzhen has entered the government, his attitude is very enthusiastic and a little flattering. But this is nothing, it can only be said that this kind of person is good at scheming.
I just heard that the Qin family of Taiyuan has always regarded themselves as literati with a noble character. They just refused to submit to the late emperor, otherwise it would not have turned out like this. It can only be said that there are always exceptions to everything!
After finishing the meal, they planned to go to the study to discuss current affairs, but unexpectedly, a manager came to report that someone was looking for Qin Shuang.
Jiang Youzhen and the others didn't care and planned to wait for him in the study.
"Who is it?" Qin Shuang asked in surprise.
"He said he was your cousin, Qin Shun."
Jiang Youzhen paused. Cousin? Could he be the scholar who wanted to stay in her house?
Is it really too much to go to the in-laws' house to complain just to rent a yard?
Qin Shuang's face suddenly darkened. He turned to Jiang Youzhen and said, "Father-in-law, Lord Jiang, I'll go over first. I'm afraid there's something going on at home. I'll excuse myself first."
Qian Chongen looked worried, but still nodded and said, "Go and do your work. Come back when you're done."
Qin Shuang left in a hurry. Qian Chongen sighed when he saw this. Family disgrace should not be made public, and he was not in a position to tell Jiang Youzhen about those dirty things.
The person in charge over there just reported to Mrs. Kong that Jiang Youzhen had just made a late delivery for Qian Ru's wedding.
Looking at the gift list in her hand, Kong sighed.
He looked at his daughter beside him and saw that she was in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Please bring all the things in!" These gifts will have to be returned in the future, when Jiang Youzhen gets married.
Unexpectedly, when she opened the gift list, her face suddenly changed. At a glance, she saw that they were all valuable items.
Pearl head ornaments, ruby head ornaments, and several gold and jade hairpins, etc., are jewelry.
Below are ornaments and furniture, including a ruyi made of agarwood and inlaid with jade, a huanghuali kang table inlaid with mother-of-pearl, a pair of matching money cabinets, and a huanghuali dressing box carved with twin lotus flowers.
There is also a set of daily-use purple clay tea sets and a complete set of pastel-colored bowls and plates.
After that, there were two pieces of cloth, two pieces of cloud gauze, two pieces of brocade and other materials, totaling ten pieces.
