As soon as these words came out, the hall was so quiet that everyone could hear their own heartbeat.
At this time, everyone was curious about what Jiang Ningbao would ask.
Mrs. Jiang and Uncle Changning Zhang all looked at Jiang Ningbao, and frowned together, secretly thinking that there will be no more moths, right
Looking at Jiang Ningbao's calm, neither angry nor angry appearance, the eyes of the concubine's wife flickered for a moment, maybe they really missed it, these four girls are weird.
Butler Zhao had a look of interest in his eyes, and said, "Miss Jiang Si, please ask me."
"The first thing, I would like to ask who has the compensation from the Dingguo Mansion's fifth-rank official position?" Jiang Ningbao raised his lips and asked softly.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Mrs. Jiang and Chang Ningbo sank slightly.
Steward Zhao looked at Miss Jiang Si in surprise, and replied truthfully, "Of course it's for Uncle."
Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly, and there was a touch of weakness unconsciously on her face, which was unbearable, and she asked pretending to be puzzled.
"I remember that this official position from the fifth rank is compensation for retiring, isn't it?"
"So the official position from the fifth rank should fall to my eldest brother Jiang Jin. My eldest brother is already eighteen years old. He obtained the honor of scholar in his early years and is preparing for the provincial examination this year."
"Why?"
Mrs. Zhang panicked, fearing that housekeeper Zhao would change her mind, she gave Jiang Ningbao a vicious look, and asked blurtly.
Mrs. Jiang, who had always been very calm, turned her eyes cold, and glared displeasedly at Mrs. Zhang who couldn't wait to jump out.
What an idiot.
Where is the usual shrewdness
Changning Bo Jiang Dongming's face flashed a trace of unswerving, he was very dissatisfied, in his opinion, this niece was so ignorant, she didn't even understand the regulations of the Dayue Dynasty, and she made such a joke.
"Fourth girl, according to the laws of Dai Viet, incumbent officials can be promoted upwards. My current official position is the sixth rank, and I can go up to the fifth rank. Children from aristocratic families who do not have the honor of juren or above are not allowed to hold official positions above the sixth rank."
Uncle Chang Ning had just finished speaking when Mrs. Zhang realized that she had done something stupid. She caught a glimpse of the sarcasm in the eyes of the other concubines and the old lady's indifferent eyes, and her face turned pale.
Jiang Ningbao was taken aback.
No wonder the eldest brother didn't mention this matter in his reply letter, it turned out that the eldest brother already knew that this official position would not fall to him.
However, the plot in the book doesn't seem to be like this. The official position of the fifth rank finally fell to Zhang's second son, that is, her second cousin Jiang Yue. Why is he now an uncle
Jiang Ningbao couldn't help recalling the memory of the traveler carefully, and revisited the content in the book again. It turned out that she was negligent and confused the timeline.
In the book, Jiang Ningbao never quit his marriage, blackened and framed the heroine, which dragged on for nearly a year, and became the biggest vicious female supporting role in the book and the catalyst for the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
The heroine herself is not a good stubble, she backs down step by step on the surface, but secretly supports the Changningbo Mansion to deal with Jiang Ningbao.
With the operation of the Duke's Mansion and Xie's family behind Anyuanhou and Xie Shizi, Chang Ning Bo was promoted from the sixth rank to the fourth rank in less than a year. Of course, he did not need the idle position of the fifth rank of the Ministry of Industry.
This official position finally fell into the hands of the second cousin Jiang Yue.
"Uncle is right, Miss Jiang Si, the official position of compensation can only fall on Uncle." Butler Zhao nodded solemnly.
The son of the world asked the old lady for this compensation from the fifth-rank official position, but it was actually for Uncle Changning.
Jiang Ningbao nodded suddenly, showing a bitter smile, and explained embarrassingly: "It turns out that I was too ignorant and impatient, and only thought that my parents were not there, so I asked my elder brother to set up the second room earlier."
Three years ago, the eldest brother Jiang Jin was only fifteen years old, and before he could say goodbye to his parents, he suddenly heard the sad news that his parents had died. The siblings had kept their filial piety for three years, and they only gave their filial piety at the beginning of this year.
The eldest brother also studied at home for three years, and went to Qingshan College in the beginning of spring this year.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Jiang Ningbao learned that he was wearing a book, and his parents were still alive somewhere.
This is simply the biggest joke God made.
Well, not everything goes well.
It seems that she promised to divorce in advance, and there are many plots that would have happened, and most of the plots in the book can only be used as reference in the future.
If you suffer a little loss, you will suffer a little loss, and your parents will come back in the future. The elder brother is just a scholar and has not yet passed the exam. The grandfather's family is too far away from the capital, so she should not get too angry with Uncle Changning.
In order to avoid the eldest brother's secret tricks, which will affect the elder brother's rural examination this year.
Jiang Ningbao secretly analyzed the pros and cons in his heart.
"Miss Jiang Fourth and Brother Jiang Sanshao are deeply in love with each other, and they envy others."
Housekeeper Zhao smiled understandingly. The second room of the Jiang family was Miss Jiang Si and Jiang Sanshao. Seeing how the eldest wife of the Jiang family behaved, it might be hopeless. The only person he could rely on was Jiang Sanshao.
Uncle Changning's complexion turned better. It turned out that the niece lost her sense of proportion because Brother Xiangjin set up the second room earlier, and the dissatisfaction in his heart subsided a little.
"In the future, read more about the laws and regulations of Da Viet, so as not to make jokes."
Jiang Ningbao nodded receptively: "Yes, thank you uncle for your guidance." It is really necessary to study the laws and regulations of Da Viet carefully. Even if you don't need to use some things, you still need to understand them.
Perhaps after a long period of end times, he has long forgotten that peace requires laws to maintain stability, and these years have been a bit comfortable.
"Si girl, the uncle's residence is also your backing, so don't think about it. Only when the family is well, can you enjoy the protection of the family."
Mrs. Jiang took a deep look at this seemingly obedient granddaughter, and couldn't help admonishing her. It seems that Xie Shizi's resignation has dealt a great blow to her and caused her temperament to change drastically.
In case something is done that will damage the reputation of the Bofu... Madam Jiang has no choice but to plan ahead.
"Grandmothers say that granddaughters are taught."
Jiang Ningbao responded obediently.
Sneering in my heart, the protection of the family... The old lady doesn't like her granddaughter, and the eldest aunt Zhang is such a snobbish person, it is merciful not to squeeze out the value of their brothers and sisters.
These three years have been able to live peacefully and comfortably because she is the fiancée of the son of the Duke's Mansion, and she might marry into the Duke's Mansion soon.
But something happened at the Peach Blossom Banquet, and Xie Shizi retired.
The faces of the old lady and the eldest lady Zhang are changing, and the portion of meals is decreasing day by day. The so-called family protection is just a joke.
"Miss Jiang Si, what's the second thing you want to ask?" Butler Zhao hurriedly asked seeing that it was getting late.
There was a smile on Jiang Ningbao's delicate and soft face, like a camellia blooming in spring, gorgeous and charming, she asked with a hint of anticipation.
"Steward Zhao, I said before that I didn't want to be the younger sister of the son of the world, and I couldn't swallow it when I was dismissed, so I said that I would marry Ding Guogong. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my fiance's mother is very good. I don’t know if Mrs. Xie has a reply?”
As soon as these words came out, the wives of the concubines were stunned, and looked at Jiang Ningbao with a strange look in their eyes.
Could it be that these four girls are insanely excited.
She actually misses her current fiancé.
It's scary just thinking about it.
Mrs. Jifang hesitated, the fourth girl's dowry was generous, but the fourth girl's divorce seemed to be greatly stimulated, and she lost her head. If she did something bad, wouldn't she be cheating her mother's family.
Originally, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang were quite calm, but they didn't expect that after a few days, Jiang Ningbao hadn't given up, and his expression suddenly changed.
Especially Mrs. Zhang, she has secretly shown a 'good' marriage to this niece.
When she retires, he will take good care of her.
Now the niece said that she wants to be the mother of her current fiancé in front of the concubine's wives.
Mrs. Zhang secretly hated her niece talking nonsense regardless of the occasion, and her face was extremely ugly. She didn't even need to think about it. When Butler Zhao left the uncle's house, within a long time, rumors would definitely be flying around the capital.
Uncle Changning, who never cared much about the backyard, was obviously the first time he heard that his niece had such thoughts, his face changed drastically, and he angrily scolded: "Nonsense, ridiculous!"
"Uncle, it is a matter of life for my niece, please allow her to be self-willed for a while." Jiang Ningbao said firmly to his uncle Jiang Dongming slightly.
With a "bang", Jiang Dongming slapped the table heavily, and shouted sharply: "I never agree!"
Mrs. Zhang was frightened by her husband's sudden outburst of anger, her face turned pale, her heart was pounding with fear, and her heart kept sinking. She found that her husband seemed to attach too much importance to this niece.
"Uncle!"
"Shut up, it's a matter of marriage, the words of the matchmaker, after the divorce, I'll ask your aunt to tell you about a good marriage." Changning Bo Jiang Dongming's face was livid, and he slapped the table again.
The wives of the concubines turned pale, and couldn't help covering their chests and took a step back. Unexpectedly, Uncle Changning would be so terrified when he got angry.
The fourth girl is really courageous.
Jiang Ningbao was not frightened by his anger, the fragility between his brows disappeared, he looked at him calmly, raised his delicate face, and spoke uncompromisingly.
"Uncle, forgive my niece for being unfilial!"
Housekeeper Zhao didn't expect Miss Jiang Si to ask about this so quickly, and it happened that the old lady was very satisfied with Miss Jiang Si. Seeing that Uncle Chang Ning was furious and tried his best to object, he couldn't help but frowned, and he replied tactfully.
"Uncle, my old lady said that she likes Miss Fourth very much."
Uncle Chang Ning choked his breath in his throat, and gave Jiang Ningbao an ugly look.
"It's out of courtesy."
Butler Zhao said with a smile: "Uncle, the Fourth Miss once said that she would marry the Duke of the State. My old lady found out the horoscopes of the High Monk He Guogong and the Fourth Miss two days ago. To my surprise, the fate of the two is extremely high." match."
"The old lady is very happy."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed drastically.
Everyone understands what Butler Zhao said, Mrs. Xie has taken a fancy to Jiang Ningbao.
Jiang Ningbao was overjoyed. It turned out that she and Ding Guogong's fates were so compatible, and a look of joy could not help appearing on her soft face. She raised the marriage certificate in her hand and said in a brisk tone.
"I've asked you clearly, Steward Zhao, let's go to the government office now. It's better to dissolve the engagement early, so that the son of Xie won't worry about it all the time."
This time there was no one to stop him, Chang Ningbo held his breath, thinking of something, his eyes dimmed.
Mrs. Jiang gave Jiang Ningbao a complicated look. Mrs. Zhang didn't care whether Jiang Ningbao left the hall or not. Her eyes stayed on the big boxes, and her eyes were full of excitement.
"Grandmother, shall we collect the compensation from Dingguo Mansion first?"
Mrs. Jiang glanced at the concubine's daughters-in-law indifferently and scolded Mrs. Zhang for being an idiot.
"Hongxing, ask someone to count it, and deliver it to Si Yatou's yard when she comes back."
Mrs. Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes turned red, and she shouted: "Mother!"
Even Chang Ningbo couldn't help but look at his mother.
Mrs. Jiang closed her eyes.
After leaving the hall, Jiang Ningbao called Chunxi, who took the veil she had prepared and put it on the girl, covering her delicate and soft face.
"Steward Zhao, let's go, my carriage is already waiting at the side door." Jiang Ningbao smiled lightly, and her pleasant voice seemed to reveal a touch of joy.
Housekeeper Zhao smiled slightly, followed Miss Jiang Si's carriage with a group of guards, left Changning Bo's mansion, and headed straight for the mansion.
Seeing this, the people who were staring at the movements of the uncle's mansion followed up one after another to watch the fun.
When Steward Zhao entered the mansion together with a woman with a graceful figure wearing a veil to hide her face, the crowd immediately exploded.
"The one next to Steward Zhao is Miss Jiang Si, why is she wearing a veiled hat, isn't she really as ugly as the rumors say?"
"It's possible, no wonder Shizi Xie wants to withdraw from this marriage."
"What does Butler Zhao do in the government office?"
"Depending on the situation, they should go to the government office to cancel the marriage certificate. They must have attached great importance to it when they got married. Maybe there is something inside?"
"You think too much, what's the inside story, the notarization of the marriage certificate in the government office is just to value this marriage."
"That's not certain."
"Aren't you saying that Miss Jiang Si is ugly and ugly?"
The crowd of onlookers lingered for a long time, and the topic turned to Miss Jiang Si's appearance again.
After the marriage was canceled at the Yamen, Steward Zhao and Jiang Ningbao each took back the Geng Tie and tore up the three marriage letters together.
Since then, Jiang Ningbao and Xie Shizi have officially broken off their engagement.
Since then, marriage and marriage have nothing to do with each other.
After leaving the gate of the mansion, Steward Zhao bowed his hands to Jiang Ningbao and said with a smile: "Miss Si, Zhao will leave."
Under the black gauze veil, Jiang Ningbao showed a soft smile and said in a good mood: "Butler Zhao, go slowly!"
When Butler Zhao and his party left in a mighty way, Jiang Ningbao looked up at the sky, and found that the dark clouds above had dispersed, and a light was shining in the sky, and the sun shone through the clouds, casting a soft light.
Suddenly, a short arrow shot through the air.
