Chapter 302: Tang Family Remarriage

"I think what Xiaolang did is very correct. He is a scholar and will definitely take the imperial examination to become an official in the future. A good reputation is more important than anything else." Jiang Tao saw clearly that Jiang Youzhen would definitely become an official in the future, so he must start paving the way.

However, he was an experienced man who had eaten more salt than Jiang Youzhen had eaten rice. It was not surprising that he could think of this, but he was surprised that Jiang Youzhen could also think of this.

"Grandpa is right. It's just a matter of a few hundred taels of silver. Why not do it to gain a good reputation in the clan?"

This is Jiang Youzhen’s plan. He used to want to be a businessman, so his reputation didn’t matter to him. But since he has decided to enter the court, he naturally needs to start building momentum.

"Xiao Lang?" Shen walked quickly into her yard.

Jiang Youzhen came out and saw the couple entering the yard one after another. She immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Father! Mother!"

"Hey!" Shen happily stepped forward and looked at Jiang Youzhen, "Why have you lost weight in a few days? Did you not eat well when you were out?"

Jiang Youzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As expected! When a mother and her child haven't seen each other for a long time, the first thing they say is that they have lost weight.

"How can you not be thin when you are growing? Besides, what good food can you find outside? You must be suffering. The other day your eldest brother-in-law went up the mountain to trap a sheep. I will cook some mutton for you today to nourish you."

Jiang Fugui also felt a little distressed. The child was thinner, but fortunately his eyes were still so clear and he was in good spirits.

"How did I suffer? I don't eat the most delicious food out there, but I still enjoy a good meal every day. But after being away for so many days, I miss my mother's stewed pork ribs with pickled cabbage."

"I'll make it for you!" Shen was very happy and patted Jiang Youzhen on the shoulder. "I'll go to your aunt Ya's house to get some pickled cabbage. The ones she makes are better than mine."

As Shen said this, she hurried out of the door with the basket. Jiang Youzhen shook his head and laughed.

"It was said that you passed the examination and became a scholar. Even the county government sent someone to announce the good news. You are the second scholar in our village and the first scholar in our Jiang family."

Jiang Fugui looked at Jiang Youzhen with deep emotion. Their Jiang family had been peasants for generations, but fortunately they had a large population and many clan members, so other people did not dare to bully their family.

After learning that Jiang Youzhen passed the exam, the clan leader was very happy for several days and came to the house to praise her all day. Jiang Fugui and Shen were both happy and worried. They were happy that Jiang Youzhen passed the exam. What a great honor that would be!

But there are many things to worry about. The clan leader has clearly placed the entire clan's glory on his daughter. How much pressure is this?

They are also worried that once their identities are exposed, their own family members won’t tell anyone, and the clan will be implicated. What should they do then?

"Did my parents know about it? He's just a scholar, and there will be juren and jinshi in the future. The clan leader mobilized a large number of troops, and even beat gongs and drums when I came back. It was too grand."

Jiang Youzhen understood the thoughts of the Jiang clan leader. To them, Xiucai was indeed amazing.

"Should we honor our Jiang family's first scholar with more respect? Just based on this, other villages won't dare to bully us in the future."

Jiang Fugui patted Jiang Youzhen's shoulder happily, "My son is awesome!"

This was the first time I heard such praise from Jiang Fugui. It was so straightforward and he seemed proud of it.

Jiang Youzhen smiled brightly, "This is the first time I've heard my dad praise me like this!"

Jiang Fugui immediately turned his head away in embarrassment, "Didn't I praise you before? You are so good at making money. I remember praising you all the time."

"Haha! Your father is embarrassed. He is a rough guy, how can he say anything nice? But when he is outside, he will be happy when anyone praises you." Jiang Tao laughed. Fugui is just too honest.

"Dad! Look at her. She already has the arrogant look of a big rooster. If you praise her more, won't she be so proud?"

At this time, San Ya came out of the house and brought rice dumplings to Jiang Youzhen.

"Here? You loved eating rice dumplings. You kept asking for them before you left, so I made them for you. I've made them two or three times, saying you might be back someday. And you're impatient, so you can't wait to eat them."

San Ya handed a small rice dumpling to Jiang Youzhen. The skin had been peeled off, revealing the snow-white rice meat inside.

"Your mother made so many and they all went into our stomachs. If you don't come back, we will be sick of eating rice dumplings every day." Old lady He smiled. Her mouth felt sour when she saw the rice dumplings.

Jiang Youzhen was stunned, and his heart was warm. It felt so good to have a home feeling!

Everyone in the courtyard was having fun, but the old house was noisy and bustling.

"Old Four, she's just a girl, so I'll just sell her. When I find a famous teacher and pass the imperial examination in August and become a scholar, will I still worry about not being able to promote you?"

Jiang Haiqing was very unhappy. She was just a girl. Just sell her. She would get married in the future anyway. What was the difference between this and getting married?

"Brother, don't you have a daughter? Why don't you sell your own daughter? Wu Ya Xiao Ju is sixteen this year, right? Isn't that the perfect age? If you sell her, you can go to the Tang Mansion and enjoy wealth and glory, and I, as your brother, can benefit from her in the future."

Jiang Hailin sneered. Big brother has made a good plan. The Tang family wants a girl, so can’t big brother’s family sell it?

"Hasn't my Xiaoju already been engaged? The betrothal gifts have been accepted, so we can't go back on our word, right? Besides, Liuya has a good horoscope, and people want this horoscope, saying it will bring good luck to the family, so they want Liuya!" Jiang Haiqing said as he pulled Jiang Hailin aside.

"The Tang family said one hundred taels of silver. Although Mr. Tang is a little old, he is very caring! What is the Tang family's financial situation? They have fine clothes and delicious food. If Liu Ya goes away, wouldn't it be like a mouse falling into a rice jar?"

When he heard the one hundred taels, Jiang Hailin's eyes lit up.

Jiang Haiqing had been paying attention to Jiang Hailin's expression. As soon as he saw this expression, he knew that the fourth brother was moved.

He doesn't understand the fourth brother? He said his daughter can't be sold, but he doesn't treat her well and doesn't care about her at all. Otherwise, why would she be so thin?

If it weren't for her pretty face, the Tang family would never have been interested in her.

"One hundred taels? Why would the Tang family pay so much? Isn't it just a remarriage?" Jiang Hailin was tempted at first, but then he questioned.

Where can't you buy a girl for 100 taels? Why must you choose Liuya?

Mr. Tang's first wife died five years ago, and he never remarried. Why would he suddenly remarry? And in such a hurry?

"They are so generous! Liuya's horoscope brings good luck to Master Tang, so Master Tang is willing to pay so much. They have been looking for other girls these past two days, saying that if we don't agree, they will find someone else. Anyway, there are girls with this horoscope.

It’s cheaper to buy it from a human trafficker, but I don’t have the status to be a second wife, and it’s not good to tell others about it.”

Seeing that Jiang Hailin was still hesitating, Jiang Haiqing immediately spoke.

"How much should I give you?" Jiang Hailin asked.

Jiang Haiqing choked, "How can I dare to take more? They said they would give me thirty taels as a gift. I'm the one who pulled the strings, so this is not too much, right? Besides, I'm doing this for my family. Once I pass the exam to become a scholar, I won't have to worry about not having money."
