Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 639 It's not a good marriage

After listening to   , the Jiang brothers finally understood why Liao Chuanrui was twenty-two and still not married.

  The Liao family was originally a wealthy family, but Liao Chuanrui's grandfather was very business-minded. After the death of Liao Chuanrui's grandfather, the family business passed to Liao Chuanrui's father. When Liao Chuanrui was fourteen years old, Liao Chuanrui's father encountered mountain bandits while doing business abroad, and his money and people were empty.

Before Liao Chuanrui's mother and son could recover from the pain of bereavement, a woman suddenly brought a sixteen-year-old boy to the door, saying that she was the wife Liao's father Mingmi was marrying, and that the boy was the eldest son of the Liao family. Inherited the Liao family business. The Liao clan chief at that time took the woman's favor, helped their mother and son to testify, and robbed the Liao family's property.

Liao Chuanrui's mother fell ill from anger. Fourteen-year-old Liao Chuanrui left her mother to be taken care of by her younger sister and a loyal old slave at home. He traveled thousands of miles alone to the ancestral home of the woman who came to the door, and found the true identities of their mother and son. The objects and witnesses return to their hometown to expose their conspiracy in person. When Liao Chuanrui came back, the woman had driven Liao Chuanrui's mother and younger brother out of the Liao family and entered the house to inherit the Liao family business. The conspiracy was exposed, and the wealth they got was about to be taken away. The mother and son were unwilling. They fought with Liao Chuanrui's family on the spot. In the chaos, the woman's son was accidentally beaten to death. hand, and told him to the yamen.

   In order to **** the property of Liao Chuanrui's family, the people of the Liao clan came to the court to testify that it was Liao Chuanrui. At that time, the county magistrate of Xiangyi also accepted the benefits of the Liao family, and the court sentenced Liao Chuanrui to murder and sent him to death row.

   After the case file was reported to Jingzhao Mansion, Zhang Wenjiang saw that there was a discrepancy between the evidence and the testimony of the witness, so he personally brought someone to Xiangyi to review the case. Liao Chuanrui's mother escaped the interceptions of the county magistrate in Xiangyi, and finally ran to Zhang Wenjiang, holding the letter written in blood by her son in prison and ran to Zhang Wenjiang. After Zhang Wenjiang took the letter, he thoroughly investigated the case and returned Liao Chuanrui One innocent, punished the magistrate of Xiangyi County, the wicked woman who took the family property, and the Liao clan involved in the case.

   After listening to the steward, Jiang Huai asked, "Who is the real murderer who killed the wicked woman's son?"

   The steward replied, "It's a clan uncle of Young Master Liao. His confession at the time was that he had a sudden plan, thinking about killing two birds with one stone. But..."

  The three brothers of the Jiang family all looked at the steward, and Erye Jiang urged, "Just tell me what you find out, and do what you are hesitant to do."

"Yes." The steward then continued, "But the information that the villain went to Xiangyi to inquire about is another way of saying that the uncle Liao Gongzi was instructed by the patriarch of the Liao clan to kill and frame the blame. The clan chief made money to buy this uncle and let him take the blame. After Liao Gongzi was released from prison, he sold his property, leaving only more than 100 mu of fertile land and his ancestral house to survive. Three years ago, he was preparing to take part in the imperial examination. However, dozens of members of the Liao family wrote in their names, saying that he was corrupt and vicious, and he was not allowed to take the test. Since then, for the past three years, the patriarch and several elders of the Liao family have passed away one after another. The retribution is bad, but the Liao clan all say that it is the black hand of Young Master Liao."

This…

   Jiang Huai and Jiang Erye both looked at their elder brother, Jiang Song said calmly, "Go on."

The steward continued, "When Young Master Liao takes the imperial examination again this year, no one from the Liao clan dared to stop him, but Young Master Liao's reputation in Xiangyi has also deteriorated, and no one is willing to marry his family. The son's sixteen-year-old sister has not yet been married."

   Seeing that the eldest brother was silent, Jiang Erye asked, "How are the temperaments of Liao Chuanrui's mother and sister?"

The steward replied cautiously, "There are good and bad rumors, the villain stayed outside Liao's house for three days, although Mrs. Liao and Miss Liao were not seen going out, but the Liao's house had guests coming to the door every day, and the servants received people and treats. Knowing the etiquette, there is no news of the master's harsh treatment of slaves in the Liao Mansion."

  Okay, needless to say, Jiang Huai asked, "What kind of bad words are there about Mrs. Liao and Miss Liao in the community?"

   The steward replied, "There are many, mainly Mrs. Liao is mean and mean, Miss Liao... ugly."

   After the steward stepped down, Jiang Huai and Jiang Erye both looked at the elder brother and waited for him to speak. Jiang Song sighed and said regretfully, "This is not a good marriage."

   is related to the life of the niece, of course, it is mainly based on the idea of ​​the eldest brother, Jiang Huai said, "The list will be published in two days, why don't we take a look?"

   Jiang Erye changed his mind on Liao Chuanrui, "Brother, I think Liao Chuanrui is a person. Even if he can't be our son-in-law, I plan to accept this person."

   Ugly is ugly. For the sake of his ability, Jiang Erye endured it.

   Jiang Huai nodded, "I also believe that Liao Chuanrui is a man."

   He lost his father at the age of fourteen, and he must have some ability and perseverance to get to where he is today. Jiang Song hesitated, "I'm worried that he's going astray."

   This is true.

   Jiang Erye said again, "In another two or three months, it will be time for candidates from all over the country to enter Beijing one after another. Let's choose again, maybe there will be better ones."

After the autumn season is the spring season of next year. The long-distance Zhuzi will set off for Kang'an after the autumn season. At that time, there are many talents in the city of Kang'an. .

   Jiang Song hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you think of Erlang Lu? His father mentioned it to me again the day before yesterday."

  Lu Zhengchang is Jiang Song's colleague and friend for many years. Although Lu family Erlang is a concubine, he is not bad. In addition, Lu Zhengchang assured Jiang Song several times that if he married his daughter, the Lu family would never wrong her, which made Jiang Song a little tempted.

   Jiang Huai euphemistically said, "Brother, Lu Erlang is very good, but this child is too soft-hearted."

Jiang Erye said directly, "Brother Lu is a good person, but Sister Lu is not very good. After Zheng'er is married, how much time can Brother Lu stay at home? Let's choose again, it will not be until next spring. It's appropriate, and it's not too late to talk to the Lu family."

   can only do so. Jiang Song sighed, "That's the only way."

   Jiang Erye returned to the west courtyard to lie down and rested, and told his wife about Liao Chuanrui. Yazheng rested her head on her husband's arm and said softly, "I don't think Erlang of the Lu family is worthy of Zhenger."

   "Yeah." Jiang Erye replied, "You know a lot of people, you can choose again. If there is a suitable person, let me know, and I will go and tell the big brother."

   Husband said so, Yazheng agreed to it, and heard her husband sigh, "It's a pity, if only Liao Chuanrui looked more pleasing to the eye."

  Yazheng, who lost his parents at the age of 15 and worked hard by himself for ten years, felt a little sympathy for Liao Chuanrui, and said, "Liao Chuanrui's temperament will definitely protect his wife and children in the future."
