Chapter 1
"When it comes to recruiting a son-in-law, I think Shui Hanzhou is good!"

March [-]rd, the Shangsi Festival, happened to be the day when Queen Dayan's national mourning and clothes were removed, and the streets of Shendu were crowded with people, all of whom came out to play.

The richest man Jiang Yuan has no children, only two daughters, one big and one small, under his knees.

The eldest daughter, Jiang Baozhu, is twenty-eight years old and works in the Harem Fashion Bureau. She passed the female officer examination two years ago and was promoted to the eighth-rank Dianyi.

The youngest daughter, Jiang Baoyu, is eleven years old. She was raised as a brother since she was a child. There are none of the bad things she hasn't participated in.

The Jiang family started with a tailor-made clothing store. There have been several generations of women in the family working in the Shangfu Bureau. There are two regular fifth-rank Shangfu who are in charge of the big and small affairs of the palace fashion bureau. One is the sixth-rank Siyi and the other is the eighth-rank Dianyi. .

Because of this convenience, the Jiang family became an imperial merchant. Over the past hundred years, it has expanded rapidly and covered a wide range of businesses. It has gradually formed today's climate, and it is even more famous as a noble family.

Therefore, the status and inheritance of the female officials of the Shangfu Bureau is very important to the Jiang family, and the family status of the two Jiang family ladies can be imagined.

Jiang Baozhu is the light of the family, the jewel in the palm of his parents' hearts.

As for Jiang Baoyu, he wasn't even a family shame.

She often jokes that she is a family reproductive machine, as long as she can attract a good-for-nothing son-in-law, if she is pregnant with the Jiang family's child, if there is a difficult delivery during childbirth, her father will definitely keep the baby.

Therefore, she felt that choosing a man should not be rushed.

You have to like yourself, have outstanding abilities and formidable strength, and be able to take the initiative to stand up at critical moments and say that you want to be big.

So at this moment when a friend asked about the candidate for a husband, the little girl in men's attire leaned on the mast of the ship and pointed to a young man in white clothes on the shore without hesitation. His face was like powder, and his lips were like vermilion. He was squeezed into the bustling crowd. He couldn't hide his light in the slightest.

But it makes friends laugh up and down.

"you are dreaming?"

"That's right, that's the son of Duke Ding, the younger brother of the concubine Xian, and the uncle of the eldest son of the emperor. It was impossible in the past, but now that the concubine Xian is going to be the successor, he will soon be a serious uncle of the country. It's even more impossible for you two."

"That's right, Duke Ding's son is very talented. He is a young genius. I heard that the emperor also likes him very much. His marriage must be bestowed by the upper palace. How can it be your turn?"

Jiang Baoyu didn't comment on this, but turned over and leaned against the side of the boat, and continued to look at Shui Hanzhou.

It is generally considered impossible for the daughter of the imperial merchant to recruit the uncle of the current dynasty as her son-in-law.

But there are some things that other people don't know, but she and Shui Hanzhou know it very well.

It just so happened that the boy's dark eyes met hers, and he seemed to recognize her, nodded and smiled subconsciously, and wanted to go forward to say something, but was caught by a boy who appeared suddenly, and he followed away in a panic after a while.

Jiang Baoyu looked at it with his head, and felt a pity in his heart, like a hibiscus blooming in full bloom, but was picked by others, and hid it so that he would not let him see it. He picked it and hid it, so that no one else would find it.

Jiang Baoyu was feeling sad in his heart, when he was suddenly pushed twice by his friends, he pointed to a carriage speeding along the bank: "Baoyu, isn't that your carriage? Why is it going so fast?"

Jiang Baoyu followed the trend, and saw his own carriage coming at a gallop, barely parked by the lake, butler Fu hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, saw her at a glance, and hurriedly waved to this side: "Second Miss! You go back with the old man, something happened to the eldest lady!"

Jiang Baoyu's expression froze suddenly, and he immediately called the boat to the shore, and returned to Jiang's house with Steward Fu.

Although Jiang Baoyu suffered from unequal treatment in the Jiang family since she was a child, Jiang Baozhu still loves her very much.

Especially after entering the palace, he never forgot to keep any good things for her, and would write to her from time to time, telling interesting things he encountered in the palace.

Jiang Baoyu was able to behave so unscrupulously in the capital of the gods, and it was also because of Jiang Baozhu's outstanding ability in the palace, she was appreciated by the upper palace, and she was supported by her superiors.

So when he heard that something happened to Jiang Baozhu, Jiang Baoyu was very anxious all the way.

But he didn't think about the bad, thinking that at most he would be injured a little bit and he would take some time to recuperate when he came back, and at worst he would offend a certain high priest and be sent home.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the house, I saw a coffin placed in the middle of the yard, surrounded by a group of family members, crying.

Jiang Baoyu was frightened and dumbfounded. At first, his feet were so weak that he couldn't walk, his eyes were full of tears, and he stood there in a daze. Then he looked at Yuanwai Jiang and Mrs. Jiang standing beside the coffin with a puzzled face, and asked in disbelief. Said: "Father, mother, what happened to sister?"

While speaking, her eyes could no longer hold the tears, and before she knew it, two drops fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.

"What about the coffin in this yard?"

Master Jiang clutched his chest in pain. Seeing this ineffective little daughter made him feel even more distressed, and he almost fainted.

Mrs. Jiang only knew how to cry, but couldn't say a word.

Inevitably, Jiang Baoyu thought about that again, and while shaking his head, he actually quickened his pace and walked towards the coffin.

"No, Sister, she won't be so easy—it must not be Sister, you must have admitted it wrong!"

Jiang Baoyu burst into tears, and almost threw himself on the coffin, wanting to identify the person in the coffin with his own eyes, but found that the coffin was actually empty!

Jiang Baoyu was stunned, all the tears she shed were withdrawn at once, his head was rumbling, and he began to frantically guess what was going on.

Did parents do such a big thing in order to trick her into coming back to be a lady?
Just as she was wondering, a young woman suddenly came by her side, her face was graceful and luxurious, the clothes on her body and head were not regulated by ordinary people, she looked like she came from the palace.

At this moment, the person was also crying, his eyes were red, and he couldn't cry: "Baoyu, don't be too sad, the old lady has passed out from crying, you have to hold on first.

Besides, Baozhu had no fear of her life for the time being, she just eloped with a guard in the palace in a moment of confusion.

For the sake of the lives of our family, your aunt had to take care of everything, and announced to the outside world that she died of illness, and asked her to bring the news, and simply hold a funeral at home.In this way, your sister's life can be preserved, and the glory of our Jiang family will not be tarnished. "

The person who spoke was Jiang Yuanhui, the aunt of Jiang Baoyu and Jiang Baozhu who worked as a clothing secretary in the Shangfu Bureau in the palace. The aunt she mentioned just now was one of the highest-ranking female officials in the Shangfu Bureau, Jiang Rongxi and Jiang Shangfu.

It's just that Jiang Baoyu couldn't be convinced by her rhetoric.

"Elope? Sister, she has devoted her whole life to making clothes. My aunt knows how much she has paid for so long. How could she give up all this for a man? Aunt, you must be doing something wrong." Wrong, sister, she can't elope."
