Lian Suisui wanted to ask Chu Zhiyi how his leg was, but he couldn't reveal his scar in front of his servants. Besides, he even hid it from her, so the servants probably didn't know either.
"Well, let's go."
Now Lian Fangyu is at home every day with nothing to do, supervising Lian Jialiang's studies. Lian Fangyu assigned him homework yesterday and checked it this morning.
When Lian Sui's birthday arrived, Lian Fangyu was scolding Lian Jialiang in Qin's courtyard.
"It's only been a few days, but you've forgotten all the articles you memorized? What do you think you wrote? It doesn't make sense. Your brother has already won the first prize in the exam. How many more years do you want to delay?"
Lian Fangyu, who never loses his temper, couldn't help but throw the article written by Lian Jialiang back in his face.
Lian Jialiang's head was drooping and he didn't dare to say a word.
In Qin's courtyard, Ma and Lian Jiaying were also there. They were scolded in front of everyone, and Lian Jialiang couldn't save his face.
"Dad, I just used the wrong allusion. The overall reading is still smooth. I can't make you worry as much as my second brother, so you don't need to belittle me like this..."
Lian Fangyu was idle at home and was already angry, but he contradicted him again.
Mrs. Zhang quickly grabbed Lian Jialiang before he got angry.
"Why are you talking to your father? If you use it wrongly, you will use it wrongly. Where do you come from so many excuses! The second young master is going to take office soon. You don't even have a title now. Why don't you work hard!"
Is it really not their mother and son's turn to be involved in the future of the Lian family?
Originally, the He family was supporting her, but she was not in such a hurry. The worst she could do was wait another three years for her son to pass the exam.
But now, although Mr. He has improved under the treatment of the imperial physician, it is not obvious. Mr. He is unreliable and has become a burden!
If Lian Jialiang doesn't study hard, he will really have no chance in the future!
She was extremely anxious.
However, even Jialiang, the person involved, was not anxious at all. This attitude made her want to be angry.
"I see!"
Lian Jialiang grew up next to Mr. Zhang, and the relationship between mother and son was harmonious. Even if his own mother spoke, he would give in.
It was Ma's first time to sit down and participate in the decision-making of major family matters. There were so many people, and she felt a little cramped and didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
"Madam, sir, you have brought me here. What's the important matter?"
She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Mrs. Qin said, "I called you here today. I have something to discuss with you."
"Mom, I'm not late!"
Lian Suisui didn't let his servants inform him, so he opened the curtain and came in to see that everyone was there.
"Why are you back again?"
Lian Jialiang pursed his lips and said nothing more in front of Mrs. Qin.
But the unwelcome look on his face was obvious. Lian Suisui asked deliberately: "Brother doesn't seem to welcome me very much when I come back!"
"You still have the nerve to say, because your father's mission has been lost, why are you coming back?"
She just got married, so there is no room for her in this family?
Lian Suisui sneered and retorted: "Brother, please be careful, the emperor asked dad to come back to fulfill his filial piety, how can it involve me? If brother really wants to help dad share his worries, why not help dad take care of grandma together?"
"Grandma will recover as soon as possible, and dad will be reinstated as soon as possible, so that my eldest brother can move around in the court and arrange official positions."
"It's a pity that my eldest brother hasn't passed the Jinshi exam yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to arrange a good position. It would be enough to work as a master in a local government office."
If you pass the exam to become a scholar, you will be considered a distinguished person. If you pass the exam, you can become an official. However, there are not many positions to choose from. The arrogant and arrogant Lian Jialiang may not be able to take the position recommended by the master in the yamen.
"Lian Suisui, you... dad, you don't care about the third sister!"
Lian Suisui stuck out his tongue at him.
"I will complain to dad. Can you be more promising? Just ask dad to help you take the exam for merit! It's useless!"
"Miss Third, you can't say that..."
Her son suffered a loss, and Ms. Zhang opened her mouth to make amends for him. Lian Suisui retorted without any worries: "Aunt Zhang, please pay attention to your address. When you get married, you must obey your husband. The current title of aunt seems inappropriate!"
Zhang's face turned pale.
"The princess..."
Lian Suisui waved her hand and said, "You don't need to be so polite inside your own home, but if you are outside, Aunt Zhang should still pay attention to etiquette and don't let others say that our family doesn't understand etiquette."
"Yes Yes……"
"Now that you are more capable, do your parents have to bow to you when they see you? Stop acting like a princess, and the prince is not here, do you really think of yourself as a person? If you get married, you will no longer be a girl from the Lian family?"
Lian Jialiang said arrogantly.
"What are you talking about?" Lian Fangyu scolded, "Talk to your sister like this? Stop saying a few words!"
"Same goes for you, Suisui. Why are you arguing with your brother? We are together today to discuss your eldest and second brother's marriage, not for you to quarrel!"
"Dad, it was my eldest brother who didn't welcome me first, and I didn't provoke him!"
Lian Fangyu looked at Qin for help.
Mrs. Qin called Lian Suisui.
"Come sit next to mother."
Lian Suisui grinned and said, "Mom is the best to me!"
"I brought you brothers and sisters together today just to discuss Jialiang and Jiaying's marriage."
Qin took out two pamphlets and handed them to Zhang and Ma respectively.
"This is a list of people who are interested in getting married to our family. In case you think I'm arbitrary, I'll sort it out for you to see. I've written down the girl's family background, character, and appearance. I'll come forward to negotiate with those who are compatible."
Why two volumes? Moreover, the booklet in Ma's hand is thicker than this one?
Mrs. Zhang glanced towards Mrs. Ma and her eyes widened.
"Why is it that the person chosen for the second son has a higher status than our eldest son?"
She threw her book on the table and said, "The daughters chosen for us are all minor officials, and their official positions are not as good as those of the master. After they marry, will we support their parents' families, or will they support us?"
They are all bastards, so why should they be treated differently?
Before Mrs. Qin could speak, Lian Suisui mocked: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry. If you choose someone, they will naturally choose you. Our family has a shallow foundation. They only care about the future. My second brother is this year's top pick in a new subject." , The future is endless. Where is the eldest brother? You go out and ask around. The eldest brother eats, drinks and has fun with a group of friends outside every day. Before he married his wife, he took a concubine, and the concubine is pregnant..."
"Anyone who still wants to be famous is not willing to marry their girl to the eldest brother!"
"It's great to have a girl willing to marry him!"
Lian Suisui glanced at the list. Her mother was so generous, and the people she chose were from high family backgrounds. It was just that Zhang was too ambitious and thought they were not good enough for her son, so she didn't even look at what Lian Jialiang was!
"Marry a girl with your head up and a wife with your head down. This has been the truth since ancient times. If you don't want to, you can arrange the eldest son's marriage yourself."
Mrs. Qin calmly ordered Nanny Fang to take back the booklet.
Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth, but seeing that Lian Fangyu had no intention of standing up for her, she said anxiously: "Then why are there so many ink marks on this booklet? So many scratches?"
"Because the master returned home yesterday to fulfill his filial piety, these people regretted it temporarily and asked someone to come and bring me a message early this morning."
"Then..." Madam Zhang was really afraid that Madam Qin would ignore them, "Then why is there nothing on the book in Madam Ma's hand?"
They are all sons, so they can’t be the only ones affected!
"Sui Sui is right. These are noble families. They are interested in Jiaying's talent and learning, and are willing to marry the girl into our family. They are afraid that we will overthink it, so they sent someone to spread the word this morning."
Good guys, one came to convey a message that he regretted the marriage, and the other came to convey a message that he wanted to try again.
Lian Jiaying is a delicious cake that everyone wants to take a bite of, while Lian Jialiang is a moldy steamed bun that is despised by others.
Mrs. Zhang's heart was so congested that she didn't want to speak.
"I listen to my wife, and the one she chooses must be the best. If we don't choose, it will not be good for the girl's family's reputation!"
Ma turned around and asked Lian Jiaying's opinion, "Madam will definitely not harm you. No matter whose girl you choose, you have to be nice to them, you know?"
Lian Jiaying nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will do it."
The tips of his ears were reddish and his face was hot.
Mrs. Qin already had a candidate in mind, and this move was just to test the attitude of Mrs. Ma and Lian Jiaying, since they had no intention.
"Then settle it quickly."
"I am interested in the daughter-in-law of Mengji Restaurant. What do you think, husband?"
