Chapter 124 Everyone is shocked to connect with Feng Jiuniang
"It's a coincidence. Miss Feng Jiu's mother is a distant aunt of my sister-in-law's family. Although there are some distances between them, they have been in contact quite often in recent years. When I went to visit my niece a few days ago, I heard her say that the servants of the Feng family found a young man following their young lady. After the young lady left, they followed him back and saw that he entered the Jiang family, so they asked my sister-in-law to ask."

Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyi and He Dafu both showed rare surprise.

How to explain this? Could it be that the other party thought that this was the son of the Jiang family, so he came to inquire? After all, the Minister of the Temple of Imperial Clan and the Minister of the Temple of Royal Rites are a well-matched couple. If the two families really like each other, there doesn't seem to be anything inappropriate.

But if it were them, then it would be a bit too high.

When he thought of this, his face became a little melancholy, but He Yuankang was blindly confident, and asked a question in surprise.

"Cousin Anian, stop beating around the bush. What do you mean? What does your Feng family mean?"

"What can I say? I'm just asking about my cousin's family background, how old he is, and whether he has the ability to make a living."

"Then how did you answer?"

At this point, not to mention He Yuankang, even the other people at the table became curious, especially aunt Jiang Huaiyi and uncle He Dafu. Although they didn't think they could marry so high, they still felt a little curious.

Jiang Shiyuan smiled, glanced at the expressions of everyone at the table, and then saw her aunt holding her hand and seemed to be hesitant to speak. She understood what her aunt was thinking, so she opened her mouth and spoke.

"Don't worry, aunt. I've received many gifts from you, so I'm naturally sweet-talking. I explained everything about Cousin Yuankang and your family to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law said it sounds like a good family, but the final decision will have to be made by the Feng family themselves, so let's just wait for news."

Jiang Shiyuan's words made Aunt Jiang Huaiyi a little disappointed.

But then he thought, with their good words, this might be possible, so he felt a little better and said to Jiang Shiyuan.

"Girl, I understand you now. If your cousin hadn't been unable to hold back and opened his mouth today, you probably wouldn't have told us anything until it was done. You're so tight-lipped! I admire you a little!"

The most important things for them in doing business are connections and information.

But one also has to be able to keep a secret, and she often reminded her son of this point. However, she never expected that her niece could be so tight-lipped, so she admired the Marquis's ability to educate people even more.

"Not really. After all, it hasn't been accomplished yet. If it really was accomplished, I would have to ask for credit and reward from my aunt and uncle. I praised my cousin Yuankang to bits! It took a lot of effort!"

Her teasing tone made everyone laugh.

He Yuankang scratched his head and chuckled twice. When He Dafu saw this, he suddenly felt as if he had grown old and was about to be killed. He held his forehead with his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then he looked at his uncle Jiang Huaishan and said helplessly.

"I'm sorry to make you all laugh. This kid was so arrogant when he was in Jingzhou City. I thought he looked down on everyone. But after only a few days in Xijing City, he has developed so many thoughts. I, as his father, haven't noticed it yet. He is really good at hiding his tail!"

Jiang Huaishan laughed when he heard this, patted his shoulder and said.

"This is a good thing. Yuankang is at the right age to start a family or a career. Either way, it's good to be ahead. Lord Feng is a slippery man. If you want to make this marriage happen, I'm afraid you'll have to spend a lot of money!"

As an official in the court, Jiang Huaishan knew a little about the Feng family, so he reminded them of this. Jiang Huaiyi and his wife looked at each other and roughly understood the meaning of this. If they really wanted to marry this Miss Feng Jiu, they would have to prepare a lot. However, Jiang Huaiyi had seen the benefits of marrying a girl from a high-class family, so if this Miss Feng Jiu was really a good one, she would not mind preparing a lot of betrothal gifts. After all, for them, the money could be earned back in a few years, so it would not be a big deal.

Looking at Jiang Shiyuan, he naturally wanted to find out some news about Miss Feng Jiu.

But given the situation, if she kept asking, she would seem too anxious. In the end, Jiang Shiyuan calmly leaned over to her ear and said something.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I also understand Miss Feng Jiu's situation. Come back to Ting Shixuan with me later and I'll tell you."

Jiang Huaiyi nodded, his eyes full of gratitude towards her.

She only regretted that she didn't bring a bracelet today, otherwise she would have to give away another one. She had lost her appetite during this Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner and wished it would end soon so that she could go to Tingshixuan to find out what was going on!
Old Madam Jiang wanted to grumble a few words, but considering the many benefits she had received from her daughter recently and the embarrassment she had previously faced when arranging her son's marriage, she thought it would be better for her not to say anything.

The person who felt the most aggrieved at the table was probably Jiang Shiyue.

Ever since her aunt's family came to Beijing, she has tacitly accepted that she is now a member of the He family. She originally thought that her cousin Yuankang looked at her differently, but now she realizes that she was being too sentimental.

Holding back tears, she lowered her head slightly.

She listened silently to the family talking happily at the table, but she was not convinced.

She couldn't understand why her elder sister, who had just said that she wanted her aunt to find her a good husband, suddenly went to help an outsider. What benefits did the Feng family give her that made her ignore her younger sister's lifelong event?

Thinking of this, I feel even more resentful.

But what happened to Aunt Hai taught her to control her temper. There was no one in this family that she could rely on, so she could only endure it and then find a solution.

The meal was eaten hurriedly. Jiang Huaishan could see what his sister was thinking, so he ended the reunion dinner while still feeling a little drunk.

Jiang Shiyue was accompanying the old lady, while Jiang Huaishan was accompanied by Aunt Yang and Jiang Shishu. Jiang Shilin followed his uncle and cousin back to the front yard. However, it was his aunt Jiang Huaiyi who took Jiang Shiyuan's hand and walked quickly towards Tingshixuan.

Although the attitude is a bit anxious, it is understandable.

"Aunt, go slow, the news won't get out."

Jiang Shiyuan said with a helpless smile, but Jiang Huaiyi had already waited for a meal and couldn't wait any longer, so he spoke quickly.

"Okay, Ah Nian, tell aunt quickly what's going on with Miss Feng Jiu! Even though your cousin seems so glamorous in front of others, this is the first time I've seen him so interested in a girl in all these years. If she's really a good girl, I'll spend half of my fortune to help her get married!"

Jiang Shiyuan saw her determination, so he no longer concealed it and told her everything he heard from his cousin Xiang.
