Madam Zhen Nan had something on her mind and could not help but laugh. "Since Hua An and Hua Kuan are married, it's now Hua Hong's turn. Hua Hong should also be around seventeen years old right? "
Jiang Hua Hong had gone hunting with the Crown Prince a few years ago and had been greatly admired by him. Madam Zhen Nan had predicted that he would become one of the palace guards in the future. Although he wasn't the eldest son, his future was bright. In addition, once a man from the general's estate married his wife, he cared deeply about her. If his daughter could marry him, her days would be quite happy.
When Shang Jie heard Madam Zhennan's question, she became somewhat aware of it and laughed, "Other than Hua Gai, the other brothers have all reached the age to talk about marriage. If Madame has a good girl, please let me know, so that I can send the matchmaker to the wedding. "
The Minister's wife, who was usually close to the Lady Zhen Nan, understood what she was saying. She knew that she wanted to find out more about Shang Jie, so she said, "Do you still need to look for a good girl? Isn't Sister Qin a good person? "
My own girl, I can't boast!" When Madam Zhen Nan heard the assistant minister's wife helping out, she threw a grateful look at Shang Jie and said with a smile, "When you see a good lady on a foreign day, you will definitely come and see her.
After seeing the ladies off, Shang Jie quietly said to Old Lady Jiang, "That day, I heard that Tang Zhi Li wanted to choose one of the embroidery ladies as his concubine. Madam Zhen Nan was afraid that he would choose her sister, Xin'er. She also came to join in the fun, saying that we, Hua Hong, would also welcome their sister, Xin'er. I hurriedly asked Hua Hong, who frowned and said, "Who is Sister Qin?" Why would they join in at this time? Was it not chaotic enough? As he spoke, he lifted his foot and left. I choked and had to give up. When she saw Madam Zhen Nan bringing Miss Qin over, she didn't stop to think! Qin'er was a close friend of Sister Yuan and Sister Zhu'er, and it was better for her to be a little girl than a little girl. If they could welcome her in, it would be natural for their sister-in-law to be on good terms with each other. Of course I would. However, since Hua Hong is unwilling, there's nothing that can be done. "
Madam Zhen had wanted Jiang Hua Hong to welcome Qiao Xin into the general's manor that day. Madame Jiang had heard of this from He Zixin, and had also paid attention to Qiao Xin today. Seeing her poised, round face, a smile of extreme sweetness and satisfaction. At this time, Hua Hong said with a smile, "I'm afraid that we haven't even figured out who sister Qin is, so of course we wouldn't want to. You can see Hua An and Hua Kuan, but you've escorted Sister Yuan and Zhu'er to Northern Cheng State. We've had some interactions along the way, and you've taken a fancy to them. Qin Si wasn't even 13 years old, and couldn't be considered a young lady yet. Yet, he had arranged for them to meet without any trace, allowing Hua Hong to clearly see Qin Si's appearance before asking if he was willing. If you still don't want to, then forget it! "
Shang Jie nodded as she listened, "Although Sister Yuan is my eldest daughter-in-law, she is only 11 years old. She still has to wait a few more years for her to carry her grandson. "If I could receive sister Xin and pass her home, I might even be able to pick up a grandson two years earlier!"
"If you want to put it this way, don't forget to pay attention to the other prefectures. If there is a young lady in her prime who is rushing to greet you, you might be able to have a grandson next year." Old Mistress Jiang teased Shang Jie and said with a smile, "If it weren't for Hua An and the others' stubborn personalities, they would have gotten married long ago. Why wait till now? This man from the Jiang family had the same temperament. He would not even look at him. Once he caught his eye, he would wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly treat him. The girls who were lucky enough to enter the Jiang Clan had strong bodies and could be raised, so it wasn't important if they couldn't take in a concubine. If he didn't accept it, it would be best if he didn't have to fight for the throne in the future. How many dirty things do some manors have for this? As long as the couple of Hua An and his wife love each other, there will naturally be a few more of them in the future.
Shang Jie nodded and said, "We watched Sister Yuan grow up, and have clearly seen her character. Seeing how young she is and how she doesn't have stage fright, we can expect that she will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a daughter-in-law in the future. Right now, Miss Zhu'er was also her best friend. The two of them had to be good friends, so it was rather reassuring. "If these brothers were to welcome a passable lady, the General's Estate would naturally flourish."
Shang Jie then consulted with Madame Jiang for a while, and got the little girl to invite He Yuan and Chen Zhu out. She smiled and said, "Hua Hong is also seventeen years old. Previously, he had pressed on top of his two older brothers, refusing to marry him. Naturally, it was not his turn. Now that his two older brothers had gotten married, it was his turn. We looked around and actually looked at Sister Qin from the Southern Prefecture. For she is good to you, and her character is known to you; but it is a joy to meet her at the door. What do you think? "
"That's great!" When He Yuan and Chen Zhu heard this, they were overjoyed. If Qiao Xin could become their sister-in-law, how could they all do needlework and play with each other just like how they did when they were girls?
Shang Jie thought about the future of the three sister-in-law and couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, she said, "We all feel that it's good, we're just afraid that Sister Qin and Hua Hong won't be able to get along! This matter needs to be discussed first. "
Hearing that, Chen Zhu blurted out, "Since that's the case, just think of a way to make them meet eyes!"
He Yuan also nodded and said, "That's right, that's right!" Haha, if Qiao Xin also marries into the General's Estate, it will truly be lively. Everyone grew up together. Originally, they had nothing to say to each other. If they could become sister-in-law, then it would be worth it. Just thinking about it made them happy.
After a few days, the General's Estate had invited a few wives from the other houses to bring the ladies over for a reunion. The other houses were fine, but Madam Zhen Nan was overjoyed when she received the letter. Her eldest daughter had been chosen to be an embroidery lady and had thought that she would definitely be able to stay in the palace. However, she had been released as soon as she was old enough, and had been afraid that she would miss the marriage. In a moment of anxiety, she had been betrothed to a distant nephew. Now that he wanted to help his third daughter, Qiao Xin, choose a husband, he looked through all of his brothers in these palaces. His congratulatory words were a bit small, and he was too handsome to attract any attention, so he didn't think about it. All the brothers in the other residences looked inferior to the brothers in the general's estate. Even though the young masters of the general's household came from the military, they had always doted on their wives, so it was fine if they did not marry. Once they did, they would hold their wives in their hands and feel heartache. Although his eldest daughter and second daughter also married into the right family, it was a pity that her husband didn't take them to heart. Every time a letter came, it would always be filled with tears and he would also feel frustrated for them. Now it was his third daughter's turn to choose a husband. No matter what, he had to choose a good one. Madam Zhen Nan's mind raced, but she pulled Qiao Xin along, dressing her up, and whispered a few words to her.
"What?" Hearing Madam Zhennan's words, Qiao Xin's pretty face flushed. She looked around in surprise, and seeing that the little girls had all retreated far away, she pinched her handkerchief and said, "Mother, I'm only 13 years old. What are you so anxious for?"
"In two years, you will be old. No matter how impatient you will be, it will be too late." Madam Zhen remembered that she was very strict with her eldest daughter and second daughter, and could not help but sigh. "A husband is nothing more than someone a daughter can entrust her family to. Mother taught your two elder sisters how to work for others, but didn't teach them how to love their husbands. This caused them to feel that it was Mother's fault for not being able to make their husbands happy and unhappy. Looking at the situation now, the brothers from the General's Estate were indeed very good. The eldest brother, Hua Hong, was a very handsome man, not to mention that he had married his second brother. If he fancies you, in the future, when you go to the general's estate, you will naturally have a good time. Besides, Sister Yuan, you and I are very close. If you have a sister-in-law relationship with them, you can always do whatever you want. That sister-in-law of yours is actually much more trustworthy than that sister-in-law of yours from who knows where. Furthermore, you are slightly older than Sister Yuan, so naturally, they have to respect you. If you say anything more, they would be too embarrassed to disobey you, and would be even better than the eldest son in the family. If he missed out on this marriage, it would be very difficult to find someone like this. You should also see the situation between your eldest sister and second sister. If you don't plan for yourself now, you will follow in their footsteps in the future. "
Hearing Madam Zhennan's heartfelt words, Joachim lowered his head and did not speak. That day, when he heard He Yuan and Chen Zhu marry into the general's estate, he said that he was not envious. That was a lie. However, he was stunned when he heard that Jiang Hua Hong wanted him to go to the general's mansion and look for an opportunity to attract Jiang Hua Hong's attention. Since the beginning, they only said that if a grown man wanted to avoid them, how could they automatically attract his attention? Didn't this mean that she was a shameless girl?
Madam Zhen saw that Qiao Xin was still in a daze. She patted her hand and said, "I will teach you chastity as your master. This will naturally make things difficult for you." It was fine if it was just the other side of the family, but the brothers in the general's household were all like wood. They only saw them because they had to be approached by others. At that time, if the general hadn't stopped his horse in the middle of the street, he probably wouldn't even know who he had married! And He Zixin, if he hadn't seen Jiang Citrus in the garden and taken the initiative to talk to him, he wouldn't have been able to enter the General's Estate. On the other hand, it was a good thing for the two of them to get to know each other since they were still young and didn't need to avoid each other. "If you don't take the initiative, you won't be able to step into the general's residence either."
"Wouldn't it be shameful if he ignored me if I approached him and spoke to him?" Qiao Xin suddenly remembered that Jiang Hua Hong always had a straight face when he saw a girl. He didn't have the slightest bit of confidence and said hesitantly: "Besides, if I can't do it, where will I be able to put my face? Will there be gossip? "
"You!" Madam Zhennan poked Qiao Xin's forehead. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she said, "It's not like I'm asking you to meet him privately, but when he's speaking, you should start talking. Sigh, when the time comes, let's act accordingly! " As he said this, he called for people to prepare palanquins and fanned himself on the palanquin. Seeing that the blush on Qiao Xin's face was gradually fading, he pulled at the palanquin as he pondered, "Quickly go, don't make them wait!"
When they arrived at the general's manor, someone had already entered. The banquet was placed beside the lotus pond in the garden. The guests were also the few ladies who came in and out on a daily basis, so they all teased each other when they saw each other. Madam Zhen Nan laughed as she spoke, glancing at the maidens brought by the madams. When she saw that Madam Ma's niece, Lin Yi'er, was rather picky, she looked at her a few more times and muttered to herself, "It's not a big deal for Big Sister Qin, but she's a formidable opponent."
When Shang Jie saw that everyone had arrived, she hurriedly ordered for the banquet to be opened, and then sent for Jiang Hua Hong to meet the other wives. In the past few days, the boss was busy, so Old Third Hua Hong had to go. As for the social events in the prefectures, they were also replaced by Hua Hong. There were even cases where etiquette was lacking. Now that he had come out to meet the ladies, he bowed to them and accompanied them in their banter. On the other day, he will be returning to each clan's residence. I hope that the various madams can take care of him. "
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said, "Let this little brother meet us and then come out to meet us. Where did all this talk come from?"
He Yuan pulled Qiao Xin to sit in the middle of him and Chen Zhu. They were laughing and whispering to each other when they heard Shang Jie's words. This was clearly a disguised big blind date, and after hearing her words, the ladies couldn't show it. This was also beneficial for Chen Zhu and him in finding a way to get to know Qiao Xin and Jiang Hua Hong.
