What Jiang Yashuang thought was right. While Jiang Qilai had kept out of the Jiang Family’s way before, she readily said yes this time as it was about her daughter’s lifelong business. Jiang Qilai promised that she would take her husband and daughter back to Marquess Qin’s Mansion on the second day of the lunar new year.After receiving her permission, Qiu Yelan personally went to Madame Tao to tell her about it. Of course, Jiang Qilai’s background could not be mentioned. She went straight out and said the purpose was for the marriage of the junior, “My ninth brother-in-law thinks that Lu He is a nice person. But, anyway, it is such a big thing that we are thinking that it will be better to let our niece meet Lu He in person. In case they won’t get along and have an unhappy life in the future when the elders decide it is a good idea. And then that may be a bad thing for the elders to do with their good intentions!”“That is quite true. After all, the

The banquet of the Lunar New Year’s Eve ended hastily because Empress Dowager Jiang was suddenly indisposed.All returned to their mansions nearly two hours earlier than in previous years. But no one was able to sleep on this night.“Ever since my third uncle submitted to our fourth aunt, there isn’t a lot of mole in the Imperial Guard these days.” In the midnight, Jiang Yashuang and his wife, who were sleeping in bed nets, tossed and turned, whispering about the affair. “Especially, since Yan Linxue was arranged as the commander for the banquet of Lunar New Year’s Eve. At least, our fourth aunt did not suspect him. But I didn’t expect such a person would cause such a big incident... Whether he was directed by the first branch or not, I’m afraid that our fourth aunt won’t be able to sleep peacefully the next few days!”“It’s Empress who is most pitiful! With such a big scene this time, even if our fourth aunt loves her, there’s no way sh

Gu E'nuo encouraged Jiang Huizhu to marry Lu He, of which Qiu Yelan had no idea yet. After sending Jiang Huizhu away, she played with Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang while waiting for Jiang Yashuang to return from the palace.She waited until midnight. Jiang Yashuang didn’t bring back any bad news, “Our fourth aunt fainted the first time because she heard about the matter about Yan Linxue and Old Concubine Fan. The reason why she fainted the second time was that she heard that they had been in contact since the former emperor was still around... Fortunately, our fourth aunt has calmed down and won’t be angry anymore!"Qiu Yelan hurriedly asked, "How is our fourth aunt doing now?""I'm afraid she'll have to lie down for a while. She’s getting older after all." Jiang Yashuang sighed, "If we’re free these two days, let's go to talk to Grandma with An so that Grandma won't worry too much."And then there was another news, "Our

In the first lunar month, people had to visit and entertain relatives, so they were really busy. This time, Jiang Yalan would get married in that month, which made the whole Marquess’s Mansion busier. Madame Shi had been insisting that she was sick since she became a widow, not going out. Chu Yitong was pregnant. Even the eighth madame Huang, who was about the same age as the grandchildren, was found to be pregnant when she returned to her maiden family on the second day of the month.Only three people could help with it then, namely Madame Zhang, He Shuijin, and Qiu Yelan.It could be imagined how busy they were!They didn't have time to inquire about the result of Yan Linxue and Old Concubine Fan's affair at all. After welcoming Feng Hanyan to their home, the three granddaughters-in-law gathered their energy forcibly to tease the bride and the bridegroom and then send the guests away. After returning to their rooms, they didn't have ti

... There had been some incidents during the ritual that Lu He formally became a student of Jiang Yashuang. But in general, things went smoothly.The sun came out after the snow. As plum blossoms scented the air, Lu He performed the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times in the presence of the audience invited by Jiang Yashuang. Lu He offered a cup of tea to Jiang Yashuang. And as Jiang Yashuang took a sip, their master-student relationship was settled.After formally accepting the student, Jiang Yashuang graciously presented him with a set of four treasures of the study. Jiang Yashuang made Lu He rise and bring him to the table. And the originally solemn ceremony of worshipping the teacher was immediately transformed into a lively banquet.After the banquet, Jiang Yashuang took Lu He into the yard to pay respect to Qiu Yelan. And then he called his nephew and son to come over to pay their respect. After all this, the
