"Teacher, the seventh day of the next month is a big day for my mother to get married. This invitation is for you and my teacher's wife."
Jiang Liu handed over an invitation card. These days, Jiang Zandao was not in a good mood because his apprentice failed to pass the exam as he wished. He didn't listen carefully to the content of what his disciple said at the beginning. , When I opened the invitation and saw the name of the protagonist above, I realized something was wrong.
Because she has not remarried yet, the invitation is written as Jiang Mengshi. According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, Meng Yunniang will be changed to the Hu family's genealogy after she gets married, and others will call her Hu Mengshi.
When Jiang Shendao saw the name of the new bride, he realized that she was a remarried widow. Only then did he remember what his disciple said just now.
The disciple's widow is about to remarry!
The disciple is going to marry his mother!
Jiang Shendao looked at the disciple who looked calm and even faintly pleased, and remained silent for a while.
It's not that he is pedantic and doesn't accept remarriage of widows, but that this matter is still related to his disciple. As a son, the fact that the other party calmly accepts the remarriage of his mother makes Jiang Zandao feel that his disciple has betrayed his deceased father. .
Jiang Sandao couldn't imagine that if he died, his children would happily send his wife to remarry.
But even though he was Jiang Liu's mentor, Jiang Candao couldn't dictate to him about the remarriage of his mother-in-law. He could only accept the invitation, and then kindly warned his disciples a few words.
"You are still on the cusp. The emperor wants to reuse you. A bunch of people are waiting to grab you and send your son to your mother for marriage. Few officials in the past dynasties have taken such a move. I am afraid that before your mother is married, it will be overwhelming. The memorial will be presented to the emperor's desk, are you sure you want to do this?"
Jiang Shendao put the memorial aside and asked solemnly.
"Since the disciple dares to do something, he is ready to be held accountable. I know the teacher is worried about me, but has the teacher ever thought that this may also be my chance."
Jiang Liu shook his head, then smiled.
It is true that he is the champion of the new discipline, but he will try once every three years. During the reign of the first emperor, there were a total of thirteen champions. Only his master Jiang Shendao was the one who worshiped the second rank or higher. The worst one was because he stood on the wrong side. The team was relegated to a local area. The once dignified number one scholar is now even inferior to ordinary Jinshi, and he is still working as a small county magistrate in a remote and barren place.
However, there are some who did not rank high in the imperial examination, relying on their connections to make a fortune, and now have a place in the imperial court.
It can be seen that the imperial examination does not mean anything, and the number one scholar can only give him a slightly higher starting point than ordinary people. If you want to climb up, you still have to rely on your ability, and the opportunities you create yourself.
After hearing Jiang Liu's words, Jiang Candao thought about it, but he didn't say anything more after all¡ª¡ª
Different from Jiang Shendao's hesitation, Mrs. Jiang's first reaction when she heard the news that Meng Yunniang was going to remarry was to be grateful.
"This is really great!" Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
If Meng Yunniang remarries, she will definitely move out of Jiangfu and live in her current husband-in-law's house. It's not that Mrs. Jiang can't tolerate Jiang Liu, a widowed mother, but as the saying goes, after Meng Yunniang remarries, her focus will be on her new husband. There is less contact between the husband-in-law or the future children. As long as the daughter takes good care of Jiang Liu and fulfills her filial piety, Meng Yunniang will be very satisfied with her daughter.
"Ma'am?"
Seeing his beloved wife's happy face, Jiang Sandao couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that after his death, his wife is planning to remarry?
However, after getting used to a handsome, suave, talented and loyal husband-in-law like him, Madam can really accept those crooked things outside.
Jiang Sandao did not want to believe this cruel reality.
Madam Jiang knew from Jiang Sandao's expression that he was thinking wrongly, but Madam Jiang did not tell him her true thoughts.
Men are like that, and the turmoil between women is a trivial matter in their eyes. When Mrs. Chiang was still alive, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often confronted each other because of whether Jiang Sandao took concubines, but until now, in Chiang Sandao In my heart, they are all happy and happy mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law.
This is men, they put more attention on the previous dynasty, on national affairs, even if Jiang Zandao loves Yaonu, he will not be as careful about her as he thinks.
"I just think Liu'er is very filial."
Mrs. Jiang sighed and said: "Mrs. Jiang was a widow when he was four years old and supported the whole family's livelihood with all her strength. Now more than ten years have passed, and she has seen that Liu'er has been admitted to the first prize, and he will marry a wife and have children soon. Even if Mrs. Jiang has filial sons and daughters, she is alone in her heart.It is also lonely, now Liu'er is not only not bound by the secular ethics, but also disregarding the possible infamy and sending the widowed mother to remarry, isn't this filial piety and what is it? "
Mrs. Jiang's words touched Jiang Shendao.
Before, he had doubts about the marriage because of his disciple's deceased father, but he forgot the position of Jiang Liu's widowed mother.
The other party had been widowed by her deceased husband for eleven years, and she had raised their only son to be a good man. She did not feel sorry for her deceased husband at all. Now she just retired after her son was admitted to the first prize, and married another husband to live a stable and prosperous life , what is wrong with it.
There is nothing wrong with the widowed mother, and it is even more right for Jiang Liu to be filial to this mother who has suffered a lot and suffered a lot for him.
The only grievance in Jiang Sandao's heart was gone, on the contrary, he felt a little guilty for his narrowness.
"Prepare a generous gift, then I will go with you to congratulate Mrs. Jiang on her marriage."
After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Sandao acted quite simply.
Although he understands his disciple, it seems to the outside world that his approach is too deviant, but if his mentor can attend this wedding, those who want to criticize his disciple will have to weigh it carefully and realize that there is something behind his disciple. He is still standing as a teacher who supports him¡ª¡ª
In the private room of a certain tavern, several officials were drinking and criticizing some ministers who disagreed with their political views.
"Ridiculous, it's too ridiculous. Have you ever read the masterpiece of the new top scholar in the imperial examination, and read his shocking remarks. Who does he think he is, and he dares to criticize the current clan system? Even his teacher, Jiang Shendao, would not have dared to speak such nonsense."
"Shhh¡ª"
An official was not completely drunk at the moment. He remembered that the number one scholar was hand-picked by the emperor. He was afraid that the walls would have ears. After the word of this complaint spread, it would affect the official careers of several people.
"Hmph, aside from other things, that Jiang Liu advocated remarriage of widows in policy theory. If I remember correctly, his biological father died early, and he was brought up by his widowed mother. Would he be willing to have his biological mother remarry someone else and give him Can the late father wear a cuckold?"
At this moment, the official also realized that his words were wrong, and his expression changed a few times, just because he had said everything, if he suddenly changed his words at this moment, it would hinder him from showing his integrity in front of others, so he could only act bravely in Jiang Liu picks on faults, and wants to prove that Jiang Liu is a so-called "wizard" with ostentation.
"If he really dares to do that, the old man will write a letter immediately, asking the emperor to punish this unfilial person."
The radical official cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city with a look of disapproval.
In his opinion, those remarks were just Jiang Liu's flattering remarks after guessing His Majesty's thoughts. How could a normal man watch his widowed mother remarry and betray her late husband.
To do so is to be a son of man in vain, and such a person is naturally not worthy of being an official.
"Have you heard that our new No. 1 scholar is going to marry his mother!"
"Who says it's not? These days, many servants of the Zhuangyuan's mansion are shopping for the items needed for the wedding. I heard that the new Zhuangyuan plans to send his widowed mother to marry in a splendid manner."
"Tsk tsk, the widowed mother of our new champion is lucky to have such a filial son."
"Bah, he is very filial to his widowed mother. If I were his late father, I would have to crawl out of the coffin angrily by this son."
Just after the official finished speaking, a group of people passed by outside the house. Because the discussion was too loud, several officials sitting in the private room also heard what they were discussing.
For a moment, everyone in the room focused their eyes on the speaker who had just spoken.
No one thought that the new number one scholar would be so daring. He dared to send his widowed mother to remarry before the imperial court's letter of appointment came down. Was he crazy?
Everyone didn't have time to think about Jiang Liu's motives, but looked at the speaker who had just spoken as if watching a good show.
Jiang Liu really married his widowed mother. This student of Jiang Zandao, a little speech official, should he sue or not? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
