Chapter 576 Choosing a Son-in-law
Why are we talking about Tong Huaian again? This is a big leap!
"Has Huai'an become estranged from me? Why is he sitting so far away?" Luo Jinshu pretended to be angry.
"You used to come to my house often. Do we still need to be polite to each other? It doesn't matter where you sit. Can Brother Chengjian distance himself from me just because I sit far away?"
Tong Huaian smiled slightly, then bowed.
"Then you can sit wherever you want, but next time you come to the mansion, don't complain to grandmother and say that I didn't treat you well enough. You and Jiang Huiyuan are really inseparable." Luo Jinshu pointed at Tong Huaian and scolded with a smile.
After hearing this, how could everyone not know that these two had a good relationship? Not only did they speak in a very familiar tone, but they could also joke around and even called Luo Jinshu by his courtesy name, which showed that Tong Huaian was a frequent visitor to the Luo Mansion.
Everyone couldn't help but think of Tong Huaian's identity. As the second son of the Marquis's Mansion, his status was naturally noble.
A son of a noble family, a family of scholars and scholars, how could they be worthy of marrying up to someone of their status?
Suddenly, bursts of silver bell-like laughter came from upstream.
The students were shocked and then sat up straight. Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but laugh at this, the story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman is a good one.
Especially the girls who can come to Luo Mansion to attend the banquet, their status must be good. After all, they are the daughters of officials. If they are favored by someone, their future success is just around the corner. After all, there are Phoenix men everywhere.
"I think something is wrong. The old lady from the Luo Mansion has even come to join in the fun. It's too formal. Try not to stand out from the spotlight later."
Tong Huaian came close to Jiang Youzhensheng and reminded him again, while the old lady at the top of the table had already taken her seat.
From here, you can see the old lady's position.
"I came to join in the fun. I heard that my eldest grandson was hosting a banquet for the young men today, so I came uninvited."
"Grandma, why are you here too?" Luo Jinshu looked very surprised and stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Why, my precious grandchildren are all here, so I can't come?"
Everyone hurriedly said that it was a great honor, and after standing up and bowing, they all became reserved.
However, Jiang Youzhen found that many students here were very excited and they frequently looked towards the female guests.
"I will go and pay my respects, you stay here." Since the elder had come, and was a good friend of his family, Tong Huaian naturally had to step forward and pay his respects.
Jiang Youzhen nodded. In fact, she and the old lady had met before in Yang'an Town, Tongzhou Prefecture. At that time, Jizhen Embroidery Shop was well-known far and wide, and the old lady came here to buy.
She still remembered that she sold a pair of Lu Hanjiang double-sided embroidery to the old lady for eight thousand taels of silver.
After she came to the capital, she heard that the double-sided embroidered screen by Lu Hanjiang had been given to the Fourth Prince.
"I didn't look at you carefully when you came to pay your respects just now, but you've lost weight! Studying is hard, and your elders should take good care of you."
Tong Huaian went to greet the old lady when he first arrived. Now the old lady held Tong Huaian and talked non-stop, which showed that she was very happy with him.
"No, I'm in good health!"
After the two talked for a few words, the old lady turned the topic to Jiang Youzhen.
"The young man next to you just now looks familiar to me. I seem to have seen him somewhere before. He is old and his eyesight is not very good. Please call him over so that I can see him."
Tong Huaian was startled when he heard this, and suddenly confirmed his previous guess.
He heard the chirping of young girls behind him. There was a curtain behind the old lady, but he was some distance away from the curtain and could not see clearly what was behind the curtain. He could only see a shadowy figure.
If you get close to the curtain, you can see this side, and it will be quite clear.
"That's Jiang Youzhen, a candidate for this palace examination. She and I are close friends and we often visit each other. I'll call her over and show her to you."
Jiang Youzhen was originally tasting the cherries on the table. They were quite big, but unfortunately not very sweet, but sour.
There are no big red and crispy cherries like in his previous life here. Jiang Youzhen didn’t eat them after tasting one.
Suddenly she saw Tong Huaian waving at her, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She had no choice but to tell Wen Ruyu about it, and then she stood up and walked towards the old lady.
"Junior Jiang Youzhen greets Madam Luo!" Jiang Youzhen stepped forward and bowed.
Old Madam Luo looked at Jiang Youzhen. The young man in front of her was handsome and talented. Standing next to Tong Huaian, he was as good as her, but even more handsome.
He is tall and thin, but that's what scholars are like. Moreover, Jiang Youzhen is only sixteen years old this year, he has not grown up yet, and he looks a bit immature.
The young man was as youthful as a scallion, and even an old woman like her found it pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Youzhen is especially beautiful, and unless there is a grudge between them, it is difficult for anyone to dislike her.
As for the screen that Jiang Youzhen asked for eight thousand taels of silver for last time, and the fact that he did not sell Ji Zhen Embroidery Shop afterwards, she didn't care much about these two things.
After all, she is the lady of a noble family. Although she is unhappy, she will not be bothered by this matter.
Especially since the master thinks so highly of Jiang Youzhen, if they become a family in the future, it would be a good thing for everyone.
It was very quiet behind the screen at this moment, and everyone was looking at the young man standing proudly outside the curtain.
Luo Shuhuan looked at Jiang Youzhen and didn't expect that after just over two years, Jiang Youzhen looked much better than the last time.
Even though they had an unpleasant argument before, Jiang Youzhen was so good-looking that she didn't feel disgusted by him, although she was still unhappy in her heart.
She glanced at her fourth sister beside her, and saw that the girl's eyes were full of autumn water, her face was rosy, and her pair of affectionate eyes had drooped shyly.
Little bitch, what's the point of just looking at appearance? Can Jiang Youzhen compare to the son of a noble family?
But a concubine's daughter can only be matched with this. It's just a pity that after the grand ceremony of announcing the names of the emperor's sons tomorrow, Jiang Youzhen's status will rise, and I'm afraid he won't look down on the fourth girl.
She was not wrong, Jiang Youzhen was very ambitious!
"The last time we met, it's been more than two years since we last met, and Mr. Jiang is even more charming than before." The old lady said sincerely.
"The old lady is radiant, just as she was back then."
The young man's pleasant and steady voice sounded. Luo Shurou, the fourth daughter of the Luo family, rubbed her handkerchief, and some reverie arose in her heart.
Before she came, her aunt told her that she was afraid that the mansion might want her to find a husband among these students.
She was extremely unwilling when she heard it at first. After all, their Luo family was a wealthy family. Even if those who came were scholars, how could their status be worthy of the Luo family?
Why did all her sisters marry into wealthy families, but she was lied to and could only marry a poor scholar?
But my aunt said that the legitimate sons of wealthy families would look down on her, and if she married a concubine's son, her life would be even more difficult.
My aunt has saved a lot of money over the years. If she can find a smart and clever one among these students, it would be great for her to become an official's wife in the future.
At least she is the principal wife, which is better than her being a concubine.
So the two of them made some inquiries and set their sights on Jiang Youzhen.
There is no other reason, Jiang Youzhen is the most promising student among these students except Tong Huaian.
Although her background is not very impressive, when she gets married in the future, she can find a way to bring more dowry, which is definitely better than marrying a bastard.
