Zhou Shuren nodded, "I just found out now."
It really surprised him so much that it took him a while to regain his senses!
Zhulan was very puzzled, "I know the five rank, and I must be quite old. The Lin family is forty-eight, and the eldest daughter is thirty. How old do you know the officials of Pingzhou?"
She was very curious. The Dong family was born in Gengdu and had been living in their hometown. How could they have a son-in-law who knew the same thing?
Zhou Shuren was in Pingzhou, and many officials knew it, and he really heard some things about Jiang's family, "Pingzhou Tongzhi is called Jiang Ming, forty-two years old, his wife is the successor, Jiang Ming's family is in the capital, I am It is a side branch. After the establishment of the dynasty, the first batch of imperial examinations was born. I heard Zhao Bo say that the second place in the list was because the family could not tolerate the side branch, and he suppressed Jiang Ming's hands and feet. Jiang Ming did not stay in the capital and was sent directly to Pingzhou. It is said that Jiang Ming Ming had a difficult time before the imperial examination, the family suppressed his wife and died and left only one daughter, and later he went to Pingzhou for many years to meet the wife of the successor before marrying again."
Zhulan lowered her head and counted the age, "No, Lin's daughter is thirty, the new dynasty is only twelve years old, and the first imperial examination is held in the second year. Jiang Ming's expatriate remarried many years later. Lin's daughter Didn't they get married in their twenties? Didn't they all get married early in ancient times?"
Zhou Shuren didn't betray him and said, "Because Jiang Ming married a widow, and when Jiang Ming remarried, he was from the fifth rank. He left the daughter to be married instead of marrying a widow, but instead married a widow. Pingzhou was quite a sensation at the time. I After hearing about it, I inquired more about it, I really didn't expect it to be the daughter of the Dong family."
He is really too weak, he doesn't even have anyone to inquire about the news.
Zhulan ate the big melon, "This is definitely true love!"
In ancient times, widow remarriages were all low-end marriages. The daughter of the county chief at that time married a fifth-rank official. She couldn't think of any reason other than true love!
Zhou Shuren's laugh is indeed true love, "I originally had a good impression of Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming has been with Pingzhou for these years, and has been working hard from the bottom to do practical things. Later, the rapid rise was also due to the fact that it was difficult for the capital’s own family to get rid of officials, so they gave Jiang Ming the only remaining resources, and that’s how they got up.”
According to Zhou Shuren's popular science calculations, Zhulan was born in the seventh rank, and now is the fifth rank. If there is no great achievement, the speed of ascending is really good. This is the advantage of having a network of contacts. Greed for ink credit.
Zhulan felt more and more distressed for Zhou Shuren, who was at every step of the way. She couldn't help holding Zhou Shuren's hand. After a while, she returned to her senses, "Why do you know so much about Jiang Ming?"
"Zhao Bo talked a little bit, I inquired some more, and the rest is basically the truth."
Zhulan analyzed it for a while, "Jiang Ming is far away from the capital circle of conspiracy. We don't have to worry too much about our relationship with the Dong family."
She was really afraid of getting involved in the battle for the throne and involving the whole family. When she thought about the age of the emperor, her sons were all grown up. Even if the prince was established, he still couldn't suppress the desire of other princes for the throne. , the alternation of power is the most chaotic time, and it is also the time when the cannon fodder is the most, so she and Zhou Shuren have to be extra careful.
Zhou Shuren was also depressed, the timing of the imperial examination was not good, and he was afraid that he would climb up and the old and new powers would alternate, which would be more pitiful, "The emperor is fifty-two, not too young, and the prince is twenty-two years old. "
In her heart, Zhulan felt that the emperor was a ruthless man. The eldest son who pretended to be stupid before the age of 30 was still sacked as the prince, and even was driven back to the station from the capital. Who would have thought A fool took control of the residence of Wang with a different surname, and when the time came, he rebelled directly?
And they got married only after rebelling. They married the daughters of their allies, and later they married a few more. The hero, the founding emperor, was a ruthless man. He killed a lot of people in the first year. The emperor was the direct son of the emperor, so the prince of the dynasty was the direct son.
Although the direct descendant seems to be stable at present, who knows that in a few years, there will be five princes in this dynasty. Except for the fifth prince, the other four will be too weak.
Zhulan thought of this, "I heard you say that after the establishment of the new dynasty, no children were born in the palace? There will be nothing wrong here, right?"
Zhou Shuren also felt that there was a problem, but unfortunately, the people at the bottom of the group knew the news from the public. "Anyway, the emperor has five sons, and it doesn't matter if they are born again or not."
Instead, he felt that it was better not to give birth, at least not to get a few dragons to take the heir, the capital would be even more dangerous.
Zhulan suddenly laughed, "You said we've been worrying enough about it. We haven't had the township exam yet, so we'll think about it later."
Zhou Shuren put his arms around Zhu Lan, "Think about it early and know who to marry, lest it be too late when I enter the circle of power, if I don't pay attention."
Zhulan couldn't help but think, it would be great if they could cross after the power change, but unfortunately, the Zhou family had already been trapped by Wang Ru, and they had nothing to do with them. Just take care of yourself and go with the flow, don't put shackles on yourself now, it's too tired."
Zhou Shuren thought about it too, "My son-in-law didn't go to the yamen today, so I asked Xuemei and his wife to come to the house for dinner at night. I have something to tell Jiang Sheng."
Zhulan turned her head sideways, "A good thing?"
"Good thing."
Seeing that Zhou Shuren kept his mouth shut, Zhulan knew that she was going to sell out, and snorted, "Don't say pull it down, I'll find out sooner or later anyway."
