The first time was when Nan Erya reached the marriageable age and asked Nan Ergou to help her find a husband.
The second time was when Nan Erya got married, and Nan Ergou prepared a dowry for her.
The third time was when Nan Erya's son reached the age of enlightenment. She asked Nan Dongbei to write a letter of recommendation to recommend a scholar to enlighten Nan Erya's son.
After the third time, Nan Erya didn't look for Nan Dongbei again.
Nan Erya appeared again when Nan Dongbei's family almost forgot about Nan Erya.
Nan Erya's husband was found by Nan Ergou.
He was Yang Qian, the only son of Yang Tong, a big landlord in the county.
Although his status was a little low, Nan Erya's father was Nan Ergou's brother. Nan Erya's mother had remarried long ago. She and Nan Ergou didn't have much relationship.
In fact, she and Yang Qian were married because of Nan Ergou. It was Nan Erya who climbed up the social ladder.
Nan Erya knew that after marrying Yang Qian, in order to show her relationship with Nan Ergou, he would send gifts to her every New Year and other festivals.
Nan Ergou saw that Nan Erya was sensible and took care of her when she was in trouble.
Yang Qian married Nan Erya because he liked Nan Ergou. Seeing that Nan Ergou didn't get tired of Nan Erya's etiquette, he treated Nan Erya better.
After Nan Erya got married, she changed her name to Erya at her husband's suggestion. Now she was called Nan Xi.
Nan Xi's son was called Yang Xian. He followed Nan Xi's husband. He was born with a pink face and red lips. He had a pair of peach blossom eyes and a good appearance.
Yang Xian's father's family was rich, and his family had a good relationship with Nan Ergou. He was a scholar since he was a child, so he should have been a scholar long ago.
However, Nan Xi suffered since she was a child. Later, she was helped by Nan Ergou, but her mother left most of the things Nan Ergou sent to her brother. She didn't benefit much.
Nan Xi did not obtain a good material condition, so he desperately tried to make up for his lack of material conditions to Yang Xian.
If Yang Xian had strong self-control, he would definitely become an outstanding man in the future.
However, the problem was that Yang Xian's self-control was the same as Nan Xi's. He quickly lost himself in superficial happiness.
Being a High Scholar could only guarantee that Yang Xian's starting point would be higher than the average person, but it could not guarantee that he would always be at the top.
If he didn't work hard, others wouldn't be able to do anything no matter how anxious he was.
Yang Xian had passed the county level examination at the age of thirteen. Now, he was already eighteen, but he could not advance any further.
Nan Xi was a spoiled child. Seeing that Yang Xian couldn't take another step forward and she was unwilling to give up like this, she turned her attention to Nan Dongbei, who wanted to find a son-in-law for Nan Xiang.
Nan Xi used her status as his aunt to persuade him.
She said that Yang Xian and Nan Xiang were cousins, and she liked Nan Xiang very much. Whether it was marriage or marrying into the family, it was a happy event that would strengthen the relationship. Their family did not have any objections.
Moreover, Nan Xiang had a soft personality since she was young. Marrying Yang Xian, her cousin, was better than marrying a stranger who she had only met a few times.
Nan Dongbei did not feel anything from the first few sentences, but Nan Dongbei's heart was truly moved by the last sentence.
He only had one daughter, Nan Xiang. Nan Xiang also had a soft personality. Usually, when she was unhappy, she would hold it in. She was afraid that she would say it out loud and worry the couple.
Although they felt that Nan Xi's words were exaggerated, Yang Xian was indeed Nan Xiang's cousin. The two of them getting married was better than outsiders.
Nan Xiang had a soft personality. If her parents were willing, there was naturally nothing to say.
Nan Xiang and Yang Xian had been married for ten years. Nan Xiang gave birth to a son and a daughter for Yang Xian. Later, when she gave birth to her third child, Nan Xiang bled heavily and lost two lives.
Before Nan Xiang died, she found out that her bleeding was not an accident. It was the result of Yang Xian and the servant girl's scheme.
That servant girl was used to seeing Nan Xiang and Yang Xian together. Thinking that Nan Xiao was going to die, she told Nan Xiang everything before she died.
Nan Xiang was not sad that she was schemed against. She was just sad that her parents had to send their child away.
Nan Xiang thought that if she could do it all over again, she must rely on herself to support the Marquis's household so that her parents would not worry about her being schemed against.
If possible, she wanted to become the person with the most noble status.
Nan Xiang did not say who the person with the most noble status was, but Jiujiu dug out from Nan Xiang's memory. Nan Xiang wanted to be the Empress Dowager.
Although Nan Dongbei was a Marquis, Nan Dongbei had always stayed in his hometown. Although he had been to the capital, he was a Marquis who relied on his father's kindness to save the late emperor. He had no real power. He relied on the emperor's grace and did not have any right to speak.
In the capital, where a random throw of a brick could kill a noble in the palace, no one cared about Nan Dongbei.
Nan Dongbei himself was a bumpkin. He was used to living a free life in the countryside. If you let him stay in the capital, he would feel uncomfortable.
Nan Dongbei himself did not like the capital. Naturally, he could not let his wife and children go with him.
Nan Xiang's understanding of the capital was based on Nan Dongbei's words.
However, in Nan Dongbei's words, the Empress Dowager was very prestigious. Even the emperor had to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
This also imprinted in Nan Xiang's young heart the idea that the most noble person was the Empress Dowager.
She was a very simple girl.
If she knew that the reason why the emperor respected the Empress Dowager was not because of the Empress Dowager's noble status, but because the emperor needed to leave a good reputation for filial piety to the outside world, who knew what she would think.
However, Nan Xiang's wish was to support the Marquis's household and become a noble person.
She wanted to be the Empress Dowager, but she did not make a strict wish. There was a lot of room for manipulation during this period.
To become the Empress Dowager, she must have an unclear relationship with the emperor.
Jiujiu was most annoyed by the things in the palace. So, she had to find another way.
There were many ways to support the Marquis's household. One of them was to become an irreplaceable person.
In this era where technology was not very developed, researching and developing new weapons was a path that could be taken.
However, now that the world was at peace, developing weapons would inevitably be suspected of provoking war. So, Jiujiu was prepared to take the path of loving peace. She wanted to study medicine and take the path of medicine to change her fate.
Feeling that someone was calling her, Jiujiu opened her eyes.
Nan Xiang's personal maidservant Bi Lian was standing by the bed. Seeing that Jiujiu was awake, she whispered, "Miss, Young Master Biao is here. Madam wants you to quickly get up to meet the guest."
Jiujiu rubbed her eyes and snorted disdainfully in her heart. Tsk ~ Yang Xian, that troublemaker, is here.
Jiujiu slowly sat up from the bed and looked at Bi Lian, who was standing by the bed with tender eyes. She pursed her lips, "I'm hungry. Tell the kitchen to quickly prepare breakfast. Let Bai Lian come over to serve me."
