Chapter 152: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
Mei Sigongzi and his sister, you look at me, I look at you, they were originally going to bring Jiang Li here, and their father would definitely expose Jiang Li's identity in person with just one glance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now when I see that my father can't even distinguish the truth from the fake, he wants to leave people behind, and he is not in the mood to watch the play.
Mei Sigongzi coughed lightly, "Jiang Li sister came all the way south, this only brought such a girl?" ”
"It's not. The road was dangerous, and it was inconvenient to bring in a few guards. ”
Because seeing that the brother and sister were still suspicious of her, Jiang Li made a long story short.
But since someone came to confess her in her name, it is understandable that the Mei family does not trust her. She didn't expect such a thing to happen, so when she came out of the Jiang family, although the shopkeeper Ge greeted the shopkeeper in her hand all the way, she didn't write to the Mei family in advance.
The jewel bead flower that could prove her identity was on her, but Jiang Li felt that there was no need to take it out. Although she had no letters, she could prove a lot of circumstantial evidence, such as her mother's past. So Jiang Li also opened his heart and talked about the past things he heard his mother talk about when he was a child: "I remember hearing my mother say that the first time she met my father, it was my uncle who took her out. ”
Mei Yuanshan's eyes lit up: "Exactly." ”
"At that time, my father happened to travel to Jiangnan, and attended a garden banquet with a friend, and my uncle happened to know his friend, so he took my mother to accompany him at the gate of the garden and said a few words, and my father and mother met for the first time on that day, and the two fell in love at first sight." Xiaoxiang had also heard these things, and when she heard Jiang Li, Mei Yuanshan only bowed slightly.
Miss Mei Qi said with a smile: "The marriage of the fourth aunt was widely spread among our relatives and friends back then, which is nothing. ”
Jiang Li smiled faintly, and continued: "Later, my father asked someone to come to Mei's house to ask for marriage, but my grandfather and grandmother did not agree. It was my mother who begged my uncle privately for a long time, and was even willing to give my uncle the gems and beads that my grandfather had passed on to her, and promised not to tell my grandfather the truth, but only asked my uncle to help her say good things. Later, with the support of my uncle, the marriage was finally completed, but on the day my grandfather nodded, my uncle privately returned the jewels to my mother. ”
When Mei Niang was still in the boudoir, the old man Mei had already explained to his sons which property was her dowry, and the gemstone beads were engraved with a seal, which was the only certificate for the old man Mei to accept the property in the future. Mei Niang gave the only certificate to her brother, and the family had never heard Mei Yuanshan talk about it.
Mei Yuanshan was moved when he heard it, "It was my support back then that caused my sister to marry far away in the capital." Not to mention that her parents were worried about her, she didn't live a good life for a few days when she went to Jiang's house, and lived a short life depressed. For this, don't make me feel guilty to death! ”
Jiang Li said lightly: "Mother often said that the road was chosen by herself, and she never regretted it. How can you blame your uncle. She often said that it is common to see other people's families hurt their brothers against each other for some small interests, and her uncle values the brother-sister relationship more than such a large fortune, and her mother has always been moved by this. ”
The brothers and sisters of the Mei family stood aside and listened to such a past story, and they believed most of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li said again: "Actually, I caused some trouble in the capital, and I was afraid that I would affect my uncle, so I didn't want to come to the door." Later, I thought, since I came to Jiangnan, my uncle is my only dealine, and it's always wrong to come and not worship, and ・・・・・・"
"That's what I'm saying, there's a reason why you don't come to see me anywhere!" Mei Yuanshan interrupted Jiang Li's words, "If there is any big trouble, my uncle will bear it for you, but what else can you say!" ”
It happened that a girl in the front yard came to invite, saying that she asked Miss Cousin to go and see what else she needed. Mei Yuanshan nodded Mei Qi's name: "Yingxue, you leave with Jiang, but you can take good care of your cousin." ”
called his son again: "This is your fourth cousin Zixuan." Seeing that they met again, let her daughter lead Jiang Li forward.
Watching her sister take Jiang Li out of the yard, Mei Zixuan's eyes rolled for a long time, and she said to her father: "No matter how you say it, the fourth uncle's family is also an official eunuch family, Jiang Li has traveled thousands of miles to go out with a young lady, and the servant only brought one, let alone a suit, doesn't my father think it's too bizarre?" ”
"Maybe she has her own problems, didn't she say that she caused trouble in the capital?" Mei Yuanshan didn't care, but he was not confused, he said: "You go and inquire, the woman who came to confess her relatives that day is still living next to the mansion." By the way, observe and observe, who are the guards who follow Jiang Li and are inconvenient to enter the door. ”
Mei Zixuan responded, and Mei Yuanshan said again: "In fact, no matter who comes to recognize the relatives, what harm can it do to our family." Who doesn't know that your fourth aunt has countless properties in her hands, and I heard the news from the guys who came and went to the capital, saying that your cousin of the Jiang family has taken good care of the business in the past two years, and has opened a number of new shops, and it is said that there is also a garden, and many guests from the south are talking about business there, there are hot springs, regular auctions of Yunjin, and various businesses, and the business is so good that it can be said that it is making money every day. So how can you say that your cousin is not a master who is short of money, and he is not short of money, so what else is there in our family that is worth the bad idea of others?! ”
Mei Yuanshan ran all over the world, and he knew a lot of news.
He sat down on the varnished yellow rosewood chair and sighed again: "Anyway, two Jiang Li popped up all of a sudden, and Jiang Li must have caused some trouble." There are several brothers and sisters, but I only have one sister of your aunt, she is dead, and now her daughter is in trouble, we must help if we can. ”
After saying that he sat on the chair and leaned back and closed his eyes to recuperate, Mei Zixuan thought he was going to sleep and was about to withdraw, but Mei Yuanshan said: "You take these accounts in order." ”
Mei Zixuan walked to the bookcase and sat down, and spread out the account book again.
Mei Yingxue accompanied Jiang Li to the front yard.
Walking through the garden all the way, a few turns and turns, Mei Yingxue asked Jiang Li about things in the capital all the way, and Jiang Li answered them one by one.
Yingxue also told some interesting stories about herself. She also often follows her brother and father to socialize outside, and has seen a lot of strange people and strange things. The difference is that although the Mei family has been an imperial businessman, the ancestors have not been an official for several generations, and the women of the merchant family do not have as many rules as the Jiang family, Mei Yingxue is more casual when she goes out than Jiang Li used to be in the Jiang family, unless it is necessary, many times she goes out in the guise of a daughter, as long as she comes back on time, Mei Yuanshan will not interfere too much.
When Jiang Li heard her say this, he smiled lightly, but he sighed secretly in his heart: What's the use of having more money, look at Mei Yingxue's carefree life, this is the benefit of having the love of her parents.
While speaking, there is a water pavilion in front of him, and a neat courtyard next to it is built near the water, and the dark red carved wooden door has a big book: Plum Blossom Dock.
