Chapter 251： , Liang was promoted to official

Chapter 251, Liang promoted to official

“Well, look, it’s Magistrate Lin who’s on the boat, right?”

Publicer A, "Yes, that is Magistrate Lin, and there seems to be Mr. Li, too?"

Other people gathered around to watch.

“It is said that he was too greedy and even paid less than half of the tax. No, if His Majesty finds out, he will be arrested.”

Although the common people have not been plundered by corrupt officials, corrupt officials have plundered the interests of businessmen, causing businessmen to raise prices, and it is the people who suffer.

So prices in Jiangnan in recent years have not been generally expensive.

The common people have long had their opinions, but because Magistrate Lin is a corrupt official, it would be the same if he went to sue him.

No, when they saw the consequences of corrupt officials being caught, the people couldn't help but say good things.

Mrs. Wu also heard about it at home, but she didn't let her children go out to see it.

There were so many corrupt officials this time, only Liang Jin, a foreign magistrate, was fine, and the others were basically arrested.

The emperor has been waiting for this day for a long time. When corrupt officials are caught, the new forces he cultivated can take their place.

The young officials who helped the emperor cultivated the emperor over the years, and this will happen to be sent out.

As for the magistrate, Liang Jin was actually given the seat.

Liang Jin himself didn't expect this, but the official document said that he had repeatedly performed meritorious services, was upright and honest, and was clean from mud. He should be the prefect and set an example for the young officials below.

Hearing this, Liang Jin also aspired to be a good and honest official, so he accepted the imperial edict.

Liang was promoted to an official, and the happiest person was Mrs. Liang.

The son has grown from a low-level official to the current magistrate of the fourth rank, and the ancestral graves are almost covered with smoke.

Liang was promoted to an official, and Sister Ying's and others' values ​​naturally increased.

Seeing that Liang Jin was promising and could be stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, Mrs. Wu thought of starting to choose a husband for Sister Ying.

In the past, Liang and Jin were powerless, and only small families came to propose marriage.

 Even if they are from a small family, those people are a bit condescending in their words, as if they are willing to marry Sister Ying just to save face, and their eyes are full of contempt for Liang Jin.

After all, just having an official position but no real power is indeed looked down upon by fat little people.

Now that Liang Jin has become the prefect, he has all the troops of the prefect in his hands, so naturally all those with eyesight come to propose marriage.

Wu had seen the faces of these villains in the past and declined them all.

She doesn’t give people a cold face, she just refuses them gently.

No matter how dissatisfied someone is, she dare not say anything. After all, she politely declined, so what else can you say?

Say that someone is fake and noble? Then do you want to hang out in Jiangnan in the future?

Old Mrs. Liang saw the matchmakers leaving with unhappy expressions, and snorted loudly, "Virtue!"

Do you really think their sister Ying is so easy to marry?

Daydreaming.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu also said, "That is, he ignored us before, but now he wants to climb a high branch, but there is no way.

Besides, she had seen the young men in those families and felt that they were not worthy of her sister Ying, so naturally she was not happy.

Sister Ying had a big head as she looked at the people coming and going to propose marriage.

When it comes to what kind of man she likes, she may not be able to tell for a while.

But when it comes to what she doesn’t like, it’s really clear.

As long as it is chauvinistic or careless, don’t accept it at all.

There are also those who, although their families are wealthy, have accomplished nothing, don’t want this kind of thing.

When two people live together, if the man has no status at home and accomplishes nothing but only spends time at home, he has no say.

No man has a say. If she gets married in the future, she will be looked down upon by her mother-in-law. She is rich and beautiful, so why would she marry someone like that? She might as well live on her own.

Mrs. Wu also said, "Take your time and don't be in a hurry. You are only fourteen and will only be fifteen next year. You still have two or three years to choose."

Girls here in the south of the Yangtze River get married early or late, not as early as in backward areas.

There are people who only get married in their 17s or 18s, and there are also people who get married in their twenties. They are everywhere.

Unlike some places, girls are married off at the age of thirteen, and the little girl is allowed to marry and give birth to a child before she is mature enough. In the end, two people die, which is really hard to explain.

Mrs. Wu also wanted to keep Sister Ying at home for a few more years.

It is not impossible for her to get married again when she is seventeen or eighteen.

Let's take advantage of the next few years to select a few more suitable candidates for Sister Ying, and then let Sister Ying choose one from them.

Mrs. Liang also said, "I said before that Brother Shun and Brother An are good, but you still don't want them. Now look, Brother Shun and Brother An are so good to their wives, how can you pick such a good husband?" go."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu also felt a little pity.

Brother Shun and Geer An are of good character. They will get married now, and they are also very good to their daughter-in-law.

The two of them are indeed very good characters. It is a pity that Sister Ying did not get married.

Sister Ying was ashamed after hearing this, and said to herself that we cannot get married if we are so close.

The high mortality rate in ancient times was also closely related to the marriage of close relatives.

Even if Cousin Shun and Cousin An are good friends, Sister Ying will not be able to get over this hurdle.

Besides, she really only has the affection for her two cousins ​​as a brother, so why would she marry them.

Mrs. Liang said, "Otherwise, what do you think of Brother Hong and Brother Ming? They have now passed the scholar examination, and they will be able to take the examination next year. If they succeed in the examination, it will be a bit honorable to come and propose marriage."

Wu was ashamed and looked at Sister Ying, wondering why Mrs. Liang liked kissing each other so much.

Brother Hong and Brother Ming are the sons of Sister Liang.

Although Sister Liang's character is not bad, her husband's family is difficult to get along with, and her sisters-in-law are also difficult to deal with.

Mrs. Wu didn't want to go through this troubled waters, so she naturally didn't want to marry Sister Ying.

Sister Ying herself has no impression of her two cousins ​​from her eldest aunt's family, so naturally she can't talk about marrying them.

Seeing that none of them responded to her, Mrs. Liang immediately snorted and pouted, "Do you look down on Brother Hong and the others? Do you think they have no future yet?"

Mrs. Wu was ashamed and said hurriedly, "What's the big deal? It's just that my aunt's house is so far away. Are you willing to marry our sister Ying?"

“In the future, if Brother Hong is admitted to Jinshi and then becomes a minor official and is assigned tens of thousands of miles, then you may not be able to look down on Sister Ying for the rest of your life.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liang asked, “Is it that far?”

But if you think about it carefully, Liang Jin was far away from home when she first became an official, and then she moved further and further away. She hasn't been back to her hometown for a long time.

If Sister Ying marries Brother Hong, she might never see her again in her lifetime.

Mrs. Liang clicked her tongue and said, "Forget it, I won't go if it's too far away. It's really boring if I can't see him all year round."

You can’t bring Sister Ying into the relationship for the sake of your grandson, it will be a loss.

This girl can make people happy, go shopping with her, and dress her up. It would be a shame if we never see such a good granddaughter in our lifetime.

It makes her heartache just thinking about it.

Mrs. Wu and Sister Ying looked at each other and then smiled.

Mrs. Wu took the initiative and said to Mrs. Liang, "I was thinking that since my husband won't leave Jiangnan in a short time, we would find a husband for Sister Ying nearby."

“When the time comes when Sister Ying gets married and has a baby, we can go there and see her at any time, and you can also hold the little great-grandson. Just thinking about the scene is so beautiful, what do you think?”
