Chapter 226: The Jiang Family Has a Way Out at the End of the Year
Of course she knew that few girls from aristocratic families were stupid, especially those whose families had fallen on hard times or were at the peak of their careers. They all had the ability to survive. But, could it be possible that this Crown Prince's Consort was also like her mother-in-law imagined?

She was a little bit incredulous, but she still took her mother-in-law's words to heart.

"Well, my daughter-in-law knows."

After the Hundred Days Banquet, everything returned to calm. Jiang Shiyuan took his children and Mrs. Pei to live in the mansion in Hanzhou, while Pei Zisu and Pei Ziyao returned to the military camp the next day. As for what the brother and sister were going to do next, it was not known to outsiders.

As winter approaches, the weather becomes colder.

As the weather got colder, people didn't like to go out, so there were fewer gossips. Although Jiang Shiyuan and his two children became famous, they were no longer talked about after ten days or half a month.

Every family has its own affairs, so there is not much to talk about.

The wind in Hanzhou had stopped, but waves began to rise again in Xijing City.

After receiving the news that Jiang Shiyuan had given birth to a son and a daughter, many related families in the city reacted, and they were both quite big!

The Wenyuan Marquisate and the Jiang family were naturally overjoyed. The news was finally made public, and they could now openly and ostentatiously prepare all kinds of supplements for Jiang Shiyuan and all kinds of things for the children.

But while I'm happy, I'm also a little worried that the people in Xijing City might do something bad to me!

But when I think about the fact that the two places are thousands of miles apart, even if these people wanted to, they might not be able to stretch their hands that far. And with Madam Pei and Pei Zisu around, I'm sure any problem, no matter how big, can be overcome. So I feel much more relaxed.

It was the Jiang family as well. When they heard the news, they were both happy and sad.

The happy ones were naturally those who were on good terms with Jiang Shiyuan. In addition to his father Jiang Huaishan and his brother Jiang Shihui, there were also Aunt Yang and the third girl Jiang Shishu. As for Old Madam Jiang, she also felt much more relieved. Even the fourth girl Jiang Shiyue who served her was more envious than jealous.

However, Jiang Shijin in Jinfangyuan doesn't think so.

In her opinion, her elder sister simply robbed her of her good luck! Why didn't she marry into Prince Chun's mansion to suffer? In her previous life, she didn't give birth to a child, and she had never even been pregnant. How come in this life, she not only got pregnant safely, but also gave birth to a child smoothly!
It was obvious that it must be related to the hidden doctor of the Pei family. When she thought of this, an inexplicable emotion rose in her heart. She wished she could rush to Hanzhou right now and let the hidden doctor treat her body!

Now, she doesn’t want to go back to Prince Chun’s Mansion so much.

During the time she stayed at her mother's house, she learned that Prince Chun had fallen ill after returning from Hanzhou and had not gone out for many days.

She used countless connections to inquire about it, and it took her several months to find out that Song Shiye had a broken hand! When she thought of this, she would be awakened in the middle of the night, so the wealth and fame she had always dreamed of didn't seem that important anymore. It would be better to have a healthy husband.

But even if she remarried, the issue of having a child was still a big deal. After a period of conditioning, her body had recovered, but the problem of pregnancy was still difficult. She even took the opportunity to go out and privately consult a doctor to check her pulse. The result was the same: there was nothing wrong with her body, but pregnancy would be very difficult, so this was Jiang Shijin's concern now.

She had been taking the prescription for maintaining pregnancy that her mother had left her, but the medicine had not shown any effect after taking it for such a long time, so she became panicked.

Since she had returned to the Jiang family these days, she was naturally still serving Old Madam Jiang. Relying on her familiarity with her grandmother's habits over the years, she could serve better than Jiang Shiyue. Therefore, the two of them had some disagreements for a while. She didn't know where the wind came from, but in the past two months, they had shown a rare sisterly love in the backyard!

But in fact, only they themselves know what they are thinking!

Ever since cousin Yuankang got married, he moved out of this house, and his aunt Jiang Huaiyi and uncle He Dafu also moved into the new house, so the courtyard returned to peace.

On the surface, the person in charge of the backyard is Madam Jiang, but in fact, many major matters are still handled by the two siblings Jiang Huaishan and Jiang Huaiyi! Now it is less than half a year before the second Miss Geng gets married, so no one wants to cause trouble at this juncture.

But there will be some small disturbances in the calm, and that is Jiang Shishu's marriage.

The candidate was none other than the one that Madam Marquis Pei had once mentioned, the youngest son of the Chief Historian of Hanzhou, Qin Xian.

Both his parents are still alive, his family background is clean, his brother and sister-in-law are in harmony, and he has two nephews. If Jiang Shishu marries him, although her status will be lower, she will be able to gain a foothold with the title of "Lady Splendid" bestowed by His Majesty himself.

The most important thing is that he also passed the scientific examination.

Although his ranking is not as high as Jiang Shihui's, he is still on the list, so it is not difficult for him to get a suitable official position.

The two also met privately under the auspices of their elders. They had no problems with each other. It couldn't be said that they fell in love at first sight, but it was not a problem for them to live in harmony and respect each other.

Aunt Yang was originally a little worried that if her daughter married outside the family, she would have no one to complain to when she suffered in the future. But when she heard that the family was from Hanzhou, she felt a lot more relieved. The eldest daughter was also marrying from Hanzhou, and with her care, the Qin family would surely not do anything excessive.

So after having this thought, they stopped worrying about it.

Jiang Huaishan even went to the Ministry of Personnel to inquire in advance, and finally heard that the person who was decided was the magistrate of Peng County, Hanzhou. This official position was not high, but the position was good. Now Hanzhou has a great reputation after the canal construction, so everyone knows that as long as he goes there, he will have the opportunity to make good political achievements.

If the county magistrate of Pengzhou had not happened to retire and return to his hometown, such a good position might not have fallen on him. Moreover, Hanzhou is also Qin Xian's hometown, so this result could not be better.

"I am only a few years away from retirement. If I can work harder by then, that would be great. This way my daughters will have more confidence in their husbands' families. But if I can't, then it's better to retire early. This way, Hui'er will have more power to move forward, and I can take you south to live in Hanzhou for a while. Both of my daughters are there, so it won't be a problem for you and me to take care of them in our old age."

When Aunt Yang heard these words, she burst into tears of gratitude towards her master. She had never thought that she would have the chance to leave Xijing City and go to Hanzhou where her daughter was about to get married!
Therefore, I nodded my head with all my might. I couldn't say too many sentimental words. I could only express my sincere gratitude and do something practical to thank my master for his friendship.
