Xiaoyu loves to eat cats. Butler Zhao’s eyes were filled with interest and he said, “Miss Jiang Si, please ask.”
"First thing, I would like to ask who will be compensated by the Dingguo government for the fifth-grade official position?" Jiang Ningbao raised her lips and asked softly.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Jiang and Uncle Chang Ning’s expressions darkened slightly.
Butler Zhao looked at Miss Jiang Si in surprise and replied truthfully: "Of course it's for the uncle."
Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly, and a touch of weakness appeared on her face unconsciously, which was unbearable. She pretended to be confused and asked.
"I remember that the official position from the fifth rank was compensation for retiring, wasn't it?"
"So the fifth-rank official position should fall to my biological eldest brother Jiang Jin. My eldest brother is over 18 years old. He obtained the title of scholar in his early years and is preparing for the provincial examination this year."
"Why?"
The eldest lady Zhang was panicked, fearing that Butler Zhao would change his mind, so she glared at Jiang Ningbao fiercely and blurted out a question.
Mrs. Jiang, who had always been very calm, her eyes turned cold, and she glared displeased at Mrs. Zhang who couldn't wait to jump out.
What a fool.
Where has the usual shrewdness gone?
A trace of perseverance flashed across Changning Bo Jiang Dongming's face, and he was very dissatisfied. In his opinion, this niece was so ignorant that she didn't even understand the laws of the Dai Viet Dynasty and made such a joke.
"Fourth girl, according to the laws of Dai Viet, serving officials can be promoted upwards. My current official position is the sixth rank. Going up is from the fifth rank. Children of aristocratic families who have no meritorious service are not allowed to hold official positions above the sixth rank."
As soon as Uncle Chang Ning finished speaking, the eldest lady Zhang realized that she had done something stupid. She caught a glimpse of the sarcasm in the eyes of the other concubine ladies and the indifferent eyes of the old lady, and her face turned pale slightly.
Jiang Ningbao was stunned.
No wonder the eldest brother's reply did not mention this matter. It turns out that the eldest brother already knew that this official position would not fall to him.
However, the plot in the book does not seem to be like this. The fifth-rank official position finally fell to Zhang's second son, her second cousin Jiang Yue. How come he is now the uncle?
Jiang Ningbao couldn't help but carefully recall the memory of the time traveler, and reviewed the content in the book. It turned out that she was negligent and confused the timeline.
In the book, Jiang Ningbao refused to break away from her marriage, and went dark to frame the heroine. This took nearly a year and became the most vicious female supporting character in the book and the catalyst for the relationship between the hero and heroine.
The heroine herself is not a good person. She gives in step by step on the surface, but secretly supports the Chang Ning family to deal with Jiang Ningbao.
With the operation of the Guogong Mansion and the Xie family behind Anyuan Hou and Xie Shizi, Chang Ning Bo was promoted from the sixth rank to the fourth rank in less than a year. Of course, there is no need for the Ministry of Industry Yuanwai Lang to be promoted from the fifth rank. Sinecure.
This official position finally fell into the hands of his second cousin Jiang Yue.
"My uncle is right, Miss Jiang Si, this compensation official position can only fall on my uncle." Butler Zhao nodded seriously.
The prince originally asked the old lady for this compensation from the fifth rank official position, but it was actually for Uncle Chang Ning.
Jiang Ningbao nodded in realization, showed a wry smile, and explained sheepishly: "So it turns out that I am too ignorant and too impatient. I just want my eldest brother to have a second wife as soon as my parents are not here."
Three years ago, the eldest brother Jiang Jin was only fifteen. He suddenly heard the tragic news that his parents had died before they even said they were married. The brother and sister had observed mourning for three years and only paid tribute at the beginning of this year.
The eldest brother also studied at home for three years, and went to Qingshan Academy at the beginning of this spring.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Jiang Ningbao learned that she was in a book and that her parents were still alive somewhere.
This is simply God’s biggest joke.
Nothing goes as planned.
It seems that she agreed to break off the engagement in advance, which prevented many plots that would have happened. 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. Her parents will come back in the future. The eldest brother is just a scholar and has not yet been admitted to the imperial examination. Her grandfather's home is too far away from the capital and is beyond her reach. It is better for her not to have too much trouble with Uncle Chang Ning.
Lest the eldest brother secretly pull out some dirty tricks and affect the eldest brother’s provincial examination this year.
Jiang Ningbao secretly analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.
"Miss Jiang Fourth and Third Young Master Jiang have a deep love for each other, which makes others envious."
Butler Zhao smiled understandingly. There were only Miss Jiang and Third Young Master Jiang in the second room of the Jiang family. Judging from the behavior of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, the eldest member of the Jiang family, he was afraid that there was no hope. The only one he could rely on was Third Young Master Jiang.
Uncle Chang Ning's expression improved. It turned out that the niece was so out of control because she wanted Brother Jin to get a second wife as soon as possible, and the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated a little.
"Read more about Dai Viet's laws in the future to avoid making a joke."
Jiang Ningbao nodded in an educated manner: "Yes, thank you uncle for your advice." It is indeed necessary to carefully study the laws of Dai Viet, and understand some things even if they are not used.
Perhaps after a long period of apocalypse, I have long forgotten that laws are needed to maintain stability in peacetime, and I have been living a bit comfortably these years.
"Fourth girl, the uncle's house is also your backing. Don't think twice. Only when the family is well can you enjoy the family's protection."
Mrs. Jiang took a deep look at this seemingly obedient granddaughter and couldn't help but warn her. It seemed that Prince Xie's withdrawal from the engagement had greatly affected her, causing her temperament to change drastically.
In case she does something that damages the reputation of the uncle's house... Mrs. Jiang has to take precautions.
"What grandma said is that the granddaughter is taught."
Jiang Ningbao responded respectfully.
I sneered in my heart, the family's protection... The old lady didn't like her as her granddaughter, and the eldest aunt Zhang was such a snobbish person. It would be merciful not to squeeze out the value of their brothers and sisters.
She has been able to live peacefully and comfortably in the past three years simply because she is the fiancée of the eldest son of the Duke of Guo, and she might marry into the Duke of Guo soon.
But something went wrong at the Peach Blossom Banquet, and Prince Xie broke off the engagement.
The faces of the old lady and the eldest lady Zhang have changed, and the portions of their meals have become smaller and smaller. The so-called family protection is a joke.
"Miss Jiang Si, what is the second thing you want to ask?" Butler Zhao saw that it was getting late and asked hurriedly.
A smile appeared on Jiang Ningbao's delicate and soft face, like a camellia blooming in spring, gorgeous and charming, she asked with a hint of expectation.
"Housekeeper Zhao, I have said before that I don't want to be the prince's sister, but I was divorced and couldn't swallow it, so I said that I wanted to marry Duke Ding. After that, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that my current fiancé's mother was very good. Okay, I wonder if Mrs. Xie has a reply?"
As soon as these words came out, the concubine’s wife was dumbfounded and looked at Jiang Ningbao with a strange look in her eyes.
These four girls must be crazy excited.
I actually miss my current fiancé’s mother.
It’s scary to think about it.
Mrs. Jifang hesitated in her heart. The fourth girl's dowry was generous, but the fourth girl was withdrawn from the engagement. She seemed to have been greatly stimulated and lost her head. If she did something bad, wouldn't it be a trap? natal family.
Originally Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang were relatively calm, but they didn't expect that after a few days, Jiang Ningbao still didn't give up, and her expression suddenly changed.
Especially Mrs. Zhang, she has secretly arranged a 'good' marriage for her niece.
After she breaks off the kiss, take care of her.
Now my niece is saying that she wants her current fiancé’s mother in front of the concubine’s wife.
Ms. Zhang secretly hated her niece for talking nonsense regardless of the occasion, and her face was extremely ugly. She didn't even have to think about it. After Butler Zhao left the uncle's house, rumors would be flying all over the capital in less than a long time.
This was obviously the first time Uncle Chang Ning, who had never cared much about the backyard, learned that his niece had such thoughts. His face changed drastically and he angrily shouted: "Nonsense, ridiculous!"
"Uncle, it's a matter of my niece's life. Please allow her to be as she pleases." Jiang Ningbao said in a firm voice towards his uncle Jiang Dongming.
With a "bang", Jiang Dongming slammed the table and shouted sternly: "I never agree!"
The eldest lady Zhang turned pale in fright at her husband's sudden burst of anger, her heart was beating with fear, and her heart was sinking. She found that her husband seemed to pay too much attention to her niece.
"Uncle!"
"Shut up, marriage is a big deal, what the matchmaker said, after the engagement is broken off, I will ask your aunt to arrange a good marriage for you." Chang Ning Bo Jiang Dongming's face was ashen, and he slapped the table hard again.
The concubine’s wife turned pale and couldn’t help but cover her chest and take a step back. She didn’t expect Uncle Chang Ning to be so angry when he was so angry.
The fourth girl is so brave.
Jiang Ningbao was not frightened by his anger. The softness in his brows disappeared, and he looked at him calmly, raised his delicate little face, and spoke without compromise.
"Uncle, please forgive my niece for being unfilial!"
Butler Zhao did not expect that Miss Jiang Si would ask about this matter so quickly. It happened that the old lady was very satisfied with Miss Jiang Si. When he saw Uncle Chang Ning, he was furious and objected with all his strength. He couldn't help but frowned and replied tactfully.
"Uncle, my old lady said that she likes Miss Fourth very much."
Chang Ningbo choked in his throat and glared at Jiang Ningbao with an ugly expression.
"This is inconsistent with etiquette."
Butler Zhao said with a smile: "Uncle, the Fourth Miss once said that she wanted to marry the Duke of Guo. Two days ago, my old lady found the horoscopes of the eminent monk He Guo and the Fourth Miss. To her surprise, their horoscopes were The fates are extremely compatible."
"The old lady is very happy."
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
Everyone understands the meaning of Butler Zhao’s words. Madam Xie is attracted to Jiang Ningbao.
Jiang Ningbao was overjoyed. It turned out that her and Duke Ding's fates were so compatible. She couldn't help but have a hint of joy on her soft face. She raised the marriage certificate in her hand and said in a brisk tone.
"I've asked clearly, Butler Zhao, let's go to the government office now. It's better to break off the engagement as soon as possible, so that Prince Xie won't keep thinking about it."
No one stopped him this time. Uncle Chang Ning took a breath and thought of something, his eyes were dark and unclear.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Jiang Ningbao with a complicated expression. Mrs. Zhang didn't care whether Jiang Ningbao left the hall. Her eyes remained on the big boxes, full of excitement.
