"...Mother, I won't marry! I won't marry!"

"What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? The wedding procession is on the way, how can you just say you don't want to marry me?"

"Mom, I don't want to marry into the Lu family anymore. I don't want to marry Lu Yunyang anymore. I will die!"

"It's a big day, what's with all the talk of death? It's unlucky! Hurry up and get dressed!"

"I won't marry, and I'll die anyway, so I might as well die now."

There was a commotion in the room. The little maid Xia Zhi quietly retreated from the room and left quickly.

In the courtyard which was also covered with wedding characters and hung with red silk, Jiang Jiu was putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

"Miss, there's a commotion in my cousin's room. She's suddenly changed her mind and doesn't want to marry into the Lu family anymore."

Nanny Qian, who was helping Jiang Jiu put on makeup, was surprised.

"What's wrong with her? The Lu family is a well-known merchant family in Xiang County. They own acres of fertile land and a fortune. Half of the county is filled with their shops. Even the county magistrate treats them with respect. If she weren't the daughter of the county magistrate, how could she be worthy of marrying into the Lu family?"

Jiang Jiu frowned slightly: "Madam, please be careful with your words."

Madam Qian snorted coldly, "You are of noble birth, but you can only marry a poor scholar... Your cousin always wants to compete with you in everything, and now she has married someone better than you, so what is there to regret?"

Jiang Jiuqian was playing with a jade hairpin between her fingers. The hairpin was not of good quality, but it was the most expensive of all her jewelry.

"Mammy, it's a great blessing for my aunt to adopt me."

Jiang Jiu was born with a ruptured fetus. When he was just over a hundred days old, his house was raided. Nanny Qian carried him away from the house and he fled. He changed his name and went to live with distant relatives in Jiangnan, where he lived for fifteen years.

Nanny Qian held her anger and said nothing, because both she and her servant were living under someone else's roof.

"Xiazhi, go find out what my cousin wants to do..."

Before Xia Zhi could go out, Jiang Mingyue came over wearing a red wedding dress.

"Jiang Jiu, Jiang Jiu, I want to exchange my kiss with you..."

Exchange marriage? Jiang Jiu was also surprised.

"Cousin, the Lu family is rich and powerful. They offered a betrothal gift of three thousand taels, while the Chang family is just a poor scholar. They can't even afford a betrothal gift of two hundred taels. Are you sure you want to change?"

Jiang Mingyue raised her chin stubbornly: "Change... must change... no amount of money can stop him from living off his savings and squandering money like water..."

Nanny Qian's heart skipped a beat. She didn't want such a good marriage. Could it be that there was some scandal going on in the Lu family again?

I was furious: "Miss cousin, I've already handed over the betrothal gifts, marriage certificate, and birth date. Why do you have the right to change them just like that?"

It is true that the Lu family is rich, but they have a low social status among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Moreover, the man Jiang Mingyue married, Lu Yunyang, is a complete playboy, and he often hangs out in brothels and gambling houses.

Although the Chang family is poor, they have a family of scholars. A young man who likes reading has a promising future.

There is another important reason. Jiang Jiu's father's surname is also Chang. I wonder if he is a branch of the Chang family in Beijing.

If Chang Zhili could go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, it would be a good opportunity for Jiang Jiu to take the opportunity to go to Beijing.

This is also the reason why Nanny Qian agreed to this poor marriage.

Although Jiang Jiu didn't care and could live there, Nanny Qian wanted Jiang Jiu to return to the capital to avenge his mother and return to his roots.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Mingyue wanted to go back on her word.

On the contrary, Jiang Jiu remained calm: "Does Aunt know? If Aunt wants me to change, I will change."

As soon as Jiang Mingyue arrived, Liu came and pulled Jiang Mingyue out.

"No, Jiuer, dress up well, the bridal sedan will be here soon."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Mingyue was only pulled into the yard and then broke free.

"Change, must change, mother, if I marry into the Lu family again, I will still be pissed to death. Lu Yunyang is not a man, not only does he spend his days in debauchery, but he also favors his concubine over his wife..."

Liu was angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? It was you who fell in love with him in the first place, and his family's wealth will at least ensure that you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life..."

The mother and daughter had a huge quarrel in the yard.

Jiang Jiu was shocked when he heard this in the room.

remarry?

Why use it again?

Lu Yunming's reputation as a playboy has been around for a long time. He has been a playboy since he was a child. Jiang Mingyue fell in love with him not only because his family was rich, but also because Lu Yunming was good-looking.

Before Lu Yunming got married, he already had several concubines at home. Because he was handsome and wealthy, the women who wanted to marry him lined up from the south gate to the north gate.

Jiang Mingyue actually said to let it go.

Liu was furious: "It's fine if you don't want to marry into the Lu family, but why do you want to exchange marriages with Jiang Jiu? Are you crazy? You want to marry a poor boy..."

After Jiang Mingyue was pulled back to her own courtyard by Liu, she saw that Liu was unwilling to do so and dismissed everyone before she whispered, "Chang Zhili will be the top scholar in the future..."

Xia Zhi, who was walking behind the maid, narrowed her eyes and trotted back to Jiang Jiu again.

"Number one scholar?" Jiang Jiu was also surprised.

Remarry? Top scholar? Future?

Could it be that Jiang Mingyue was reborn?
