Chapter 75 Asking for the Name

Ms. Yang was wearing a pure red thin skirt with a green soft gauze covering it.

Since she was adopted as the first wife, most of her clothes are red.

It was as if she was always reminding others that she was already the royal wife.

While the maids and women in the mansion were busy, Yang sent the woman next to her to guard the gate. As long as the matchmaker came, she would respectfully welcome her into the hall.

After giving all the orders, Yang walked towards the backyard.

Jiang Jiaojiao looked at Geng Tie in front of her with mixed feelings in her heart.

After waiting for so many years and not being able to enter the palace as he wished, he caught the eye of Mrs. Wu Taiwei and asked a matchmaker to come to the Jiang family to propose marriage to Mr. Wu, and she was also the official wife.

Jiang Jiaojiao felt as if she had just hit her luck, feeling excited and nervous at the same time, fearing that this was just a dream she had.

The maid Caiyan saw Jiang Jiaojiao holding Luopa tightly and looking a little nervous, so she poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

"Second Miss, don't worry. I heard from the boy in the front yard that Mr. Wu is a very talented man. His head is taller than the master's. He can ride horses, shoot arrows, and can do everything."

The boy in the front yard followed Jiang Zhengming to the autumn hunt organized by the emperor, so he met Mr. Wu.

"Really?" Jiang Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

She didn't know why, but she always felt panicked in her heart. It felt unreal that such a good marriage had happened to her.

The Wu family is one of the four major families in Beijing. The third son of the Wu family is the most favored by the old lady of the Wu family and serves in the Ministry of War.

Although Jiang Jiaojiao has never met her, her father is full of praise every time he mentions the Wu family.

It is said that Wu Taiwei holds military power, and his power is no worse than that of Prime Minister Wei's family.

Today was the day when the Wu family sent a matchmaker to ask for names and exchange marriage certificates. After today, her marriage was finalized.

"Jiao'er."

At this time Yang walked in.

"Oh my! My little girl is so beautiful. The unlucky one in the palace is blind."

Yang shook off the Luopa in her hand, and walked in with her waist bent, praising her daughter and complaining at the same time.

"Mom, there are many people today, so don't say anything nonsense."

After all, Jiang Jiaojiao is already in her twenties, and her city is better than before.

"Okay, okay, Mom didn't say anything. I only found out after hearing the matchmaker talk about Mr. Wu San. Mom is short-sighted. What's good about the palace? She sings and dances all day long. If she doesn't get pampered, she won't be able to see Long Yan once in a year and a half." ”

Jiang Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Her father and mother used to be obsessed with sending her to the palace, but now they say this is just sour grapes.

If the emperor summoned her to the palace at this time, her mother would refuse the Wu family's marriage without hesitation.

"Jiao'er, when the matchmaker comes later, you should go and greet her. After all, the Wu family is a high-ranking family. We should be polite and considerate. The matchmaker will also mention it in front of Mrs. Wu's wife when she gets back."

"Mom, my daughter knows this. My father has not come home since he went to the palace today. He will ask Jiang Qingjian to go out and show his face later."

"Caiyan, go and talk to the eldest young master and ask him to dress more modestly. Don't let the Wu family think that I have treated the bastard poorly."

Caiyan took the order and left.

Seeing Caiyan walking away, Jiang Jiaojiao looked away and said, "Mom, don't treat yourself like a bastard in the future. Since you have put him in your name, he is the eldest son of our Jiang family."

Mrs. Yang said bitterly: "If my mother enters the Jiang Mansion, she will be a good lady. There is no way I will let a concubine give birth to a son!"

When it came to her son, Mrs. Yang felt aggrieved because her stomach was unsatisfactory. After giving birth to a daughter, the master spent most of the time resting in her room without any movement in her stomach.

As for those concubines, the master occasionally favored them and got pregnant.

If it weren't for her vicious methods, there would be no one knows how many concubines and concubines there are in the Jiang Mansion.

Thinking of this, she said to Jiang Jiaojiao: "Jiao'er, please feel free to get married. Our family background is not as high as that of the Wu family. My mother will prepare a generous dowry for you so that you will not be looked down upon when you enter the Wu family."

"What mother said makes sense. As for Jiang Qingjian, it's enough for mother to treat him well to save her face. We can't leave all the family's property to him."

As soon as the mother and daughter talked about the dowry, Caiyan came back to report that the matchmaker had arrived in the front hall.

Yang told Jiang Jiaojiao to go out later, and then hurried out.

In the hall, Yang enthusiastically invited the matchmaker to take a seat.

The matchmaker had a smile on her face, but she despised Yang in her heart.

A step-brother raised by an aunt, no matter how red she wears, there is always something missing.

"Congratulations, madam. The lady will take the second girl's Geng Tie to the Wu Mansion now. Madam is waiting for the good news. If the second girl's horoscope does not conflict with the horoscope of the third young master Wu, madam will make preparations early. Maybe the Wu Mansion will have a wedding in the coming spring. To welcome a new person into the house.”

"Sister Dajin is joking and won't contradict each other. The elders of Qinglian Temple all say that my Jiaoer is destined to have a prosperous husband. She will have many children and grandchildren in the future, and her blessings will be long."

The maid on the side lowered her eyelids and pretended not to hear anything.

Yang's words are pure nonsense. Her mother and daughter always draw lots every time they go to Qinglian Temple. The maid knows this all too well.

The corner of the matchmaker's mouth twitched fiercely. An official wife called her sister. She was really mean at heart.

She simply asked for help, straightened her waist and said, "The first lady and the first lady died violently one after another. If it weren't for Miss Jiang's stubbornness, everyone would naturally be happy."

Yang secretly cursed "Old Godly Woman" in her mind and accepted the conversation with a smile on her face.

"Sister, what you said is inappropriate. The second young lady crawled out of my concubine's belly. How can she defeat Su's mother and daughter? It's all because of Su's own unlucky fate. Her husband loved her very much, but she abandoned him early and died. go."

"And the eldest daughter, she is filial. After Su passed away, she was depressed. My daughter often accompanied her but could not relieve her sadness. In the end, she followed Su."

Yang said, pressing her nose with a silk scarf, looking kind.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the matchmaker. Seeing that the matchmaker had the same expression, she waved the silk scarf and said, "Today is a big happy event in the Jiang family. Don't mention the old things, it will only add to the sadness."

What kind of person is the matchmaker? She has been in and out of the backyard of a wealthy family in the capital for many years.

Even Yang's hypocritical appearance is not enough for her.

On the one hand, she praised the first lady for being favored and short-lived, and the hidden meaning was that the first lady had a short life and was unlucky.

The second lady cared about the eldest lady, wasn't it just to show that the second lady Jiang's sisterly love was good.

The twists and turns in the backyard were clear to the matchmaker.

She picked up the engagement letter on the table and was about to get up.

At this time, Jiang Jiaojiao came out with the help of a maid, and a boy about twelve years old came out with her.

Seeing the boy's timid appearance, the matchmaker knew that this was the illegitimate son adopted by Yang from her concubine.

The matchmaker had seen Jiang Jiaojiao before, and she greeted her in a humble and calm manner and went back to the backyard.

After a while, Yang personally saw the matchmaker off.

After leaving the Jiang Mansion, the matchmaker put away the smile on her face, weighed the purse in her hand and snorted, "The stepmother who is not presentable is still generous."
