Jiang Li took Xiaoxiang back to Meizhuang with a dirt floor, and it was getting late, but a luxurious carriage was parked outside the gate of Meizhuang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At a glance, he recognized that it was a vehicle from his own house, and Jiang Li was so frightened that he didn't even dare to enter the gate. I don't know who it is, but I believe that no matter who it is, it will be a big shock to see my appearance and return to the house.

The two hurriedly walked around to the corner of the backyard, Xiao Xiang's skills have always been good, and he took Jiang Li up and down the high wall, and turned back into the courtyard in a few steps.

Under the plum blossom tree in the back yard, the pothos that had just come back was in a hurry. When he turned around, he was startled when he saw Xiaoxiang jumping down from the high wall with Jiang Li.

didn't have time to blame Xiaoxiang, Luluo pushed Jiang Li to the room, urging him to change his clothes and freshen up, and said urgently: "The second son of the house is here, and I have urged it several times." I just said that you are not feeling well and are resting, and you will come out slowly. The second son heard that you were uncomfortable, and said that his brother and sister didn't have to avoid suspicion, and they wanted to go into the house to see for themselves. Scares me enough! Fortunately, Maeber saw that you were not there, and begged to invite him outside for tea. Xiaoxiang is really, she went out with you when I turned around, I just entered the door with the front foot, and the second son arrived with the back foot, I didn't know that you were not in the house, and I almost brought it directly into the yard. ”

Jiang Li couldn't listen to the chatter of the green pothos, and his mind was full of thinking about what happened to this second brother who came to visit suddenly.

The three elder brothers in the house are very estranged from the ten younger sisters and younger brothers. I don't have anything to say for the difference of a few years, and I have a few rooms that are harmonious on the surface, but secretly squeeze each other, and the two rooms in the big house have sons who are born and raised, and they are consciously higher than the third room, and they speak and act very openly and domineering in front of Jiang Li's mother and daughter on weekdays. Several brothers never look at each other with a sister, and always have a pair of nostrils facing the sky and a tall brother shelf.

Later, the third room side room gave birth to the son Jiang Ju, and the arrogance of the second room of the big room disappeared a little. It's just that Jiang Ju went to Qingzhou with the third master not long after he was born, and gradually no one took him to heart.

The elder brother Jiang An in the second room, when he used to live together as a family, he couldn't see each other a few times a year, and he only heard the elders in the family mention from time to time, who and who got into trouble again, and who lost how many belongings. Ten times it was mentioned, and Jiang An was mentioned seven or eight times.

It's not that the two brothers are at ease, it's just that the three sons have different hobbies. In the big house, the eldest son Jiang Hao and the third son Jiang Rui are serious about marrying a wife, and they don't go out to prostitutes.

And this second son, Jiang An, is a master who has been wandering outside for many years, looking for flowers and asking willow to eat, drink, gamble, fight and make trouble, and he can't return home until he is penniless, he is a well-known crooked thorn.

Jiang Zongwen, the head of the family in the second room, that is, the second uncle of Jiang An's father Jiang Li, was appointed as an editor in the imperial court, although he also married a few concubines, he also paid attention to some etiquette. The second uncle often lamented that he had done evil in his previous life, and that he had given birth to a son who would be retributed in this life. Whenever she has to be disciplined, the fierce second aunt Zhen will definitely not follow, and over time she will let it go.

is such an infamous second brother, a cousin who has nothing to do with Jiang Li on weekdays, and suddenly visited today, Jiang Li didn't believe that he was really here to talk about brother and sisterhood.

The green pothos was nagging while serving Jiang Li to freshen up. picked out a light-colored Yuntao skirt, and a homely Yunjin wide-sleeved robe of the same color for Jiang Li to put on, and when it was almost done, Xiaoxiang went out and instructed Mrs. Cai to go outside and ask the second son to come in and speak.

The four newly bought little girls had already prepared refreshments in the outer living room, and Jiang Li had just taken half a sip of a cup of hot tea in his hand, and Mrs. Cai led the second son into the courtyard.

With a loud smile, a tall, shouldered, and arm-length young man stepped into the backyard. While looking left and right at the scenery in the yard, he said loudly: "My ninth sister is really big, the second brother came to visit you from so far away, it doesn't matter if you don't go out to greet you in person, these second brothers will not come out to squeak when they enter the yard." As she spoke, the little girl walked all the way through the flower path to the living room.

Jiang Li glanced at it, wearing a Confucian robe with the same pattern of cloud brocade, a wide-waisted coat covered with white and silver flowers, a high bun tied with a snake-shaped golden hairpin, and snow warm cloud boots, looking a bit of a dashing family son. The facial features are okay, only a pair of peach blossom eyes, which are uncomfortable to look at.

At this time, Jiang Li had to get up and go outside the living room, salute lightly, and said with a smile: "Second brother is afraid that he will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, right?" Hiding from debt? ”

Jiang An's face tightened, and he looked at Jiang Li's appearance with a look of surprise, and laughed again: "The eldest aunt came home and said that after the ninth sister recovered from her illness, a small mouth was good for her life, and no one in the family believed it." It is said that a girl who blushes when she speaks loudly is also a weak and weak character, can she be staked all of a sudden? When I saw it today, even I didn't believe that this was said by my original ninth sister. ”

Saying that, he happily entered the door, sat on the main seat, shook a pair of long legs, picked up the teacup and didn't move, looked around in the living room with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile: "I rushed to see the ninth sister, and now I see that my sister is more and more beautiful than before, which shows that it is really good." Second brother, I am also relieved. ”

"Oh? So the second brother still went home during this time? That's a real rarity. Now I made a special trip to see me, and the ninth sister was really moved. Jiang Li's half-smiling expression obviously didn't believe it, and it didn't look like he was here to visit the sick at such an hour.

"The second brother said that he was here to visit the sick, but he came empty-handed, and it was such an hour, didn't he leave in a hurry when he came, and the gifts were all lost?" As soon as Jiang Li's words came out, several girls in the house covered their mouths and smiled, and it was not the first time that Jiang An was chased by debt collectors.

Jiang An said haha: "You know that the second brother is not as rich as his sister, the second brother thinks that his sister has nothing here, only a relative is missing to visit, it doesn't matter if he brings a gift or not, his mind has arrived." ”

This man has seen it, and his heart has arrived. This time is just after the meal and then come back, I asked the girls to prepare the meal? Jiang Li stared at Jiang An's face and asked.

Jiang An coughed dryly, waved his hand and said, "I'll say a few words, just look at my sister and leave, no need to prepare food." ”

Here's the business! Jiang Xuan said, see how long you can last. As soon as Jiang An opened her mouth, she was surprised: "The Fan family has come to the door to propose!" I went back to accompany the guests today, why didn't anyone inform my sister to go back? Jiang An asked with a grin.

"It's funny what you asked, this kind of thing has its own parents in the house to entertain guests. Male and female guests are all accompanied, I am a little girl's family, I can't be a seat without it, and it's none of my business. Jiang Li looked relaxed and out of the way.

Jiang An was surprised: "You don't ask who you ordered?" ”

Jiang Li smiled lightly and did not speak.

"It's Jiang Min!"

"Oh? Is it. Jiang Li replied casually, and his expression did not change at all.

It doesn't matter who he orders, as long as it's not himself. She is not prejudiced against Fan Sicheng, the son of the Fan family, she is just a childhood playmate, how can she be a husband and wife? She can't be so hasty with her life's events, her future husband, she has to choose slowly.

Jiang An didn't see the expression of pain and disappointment and was a little discouraged, he was still ready to comfort Jiang Li when he came, and then waited to match her, after all, he was close to the Fan family's son, and he could let them meet each other by playing a package ticket. But it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, nothing matters to him.

Thinking about it, he said: "I thought my sister was also interested in Fan Gongzi, but it seems that I was too worried." Jiang Ya fell out with her sister because of this, and I heard that Fan Gongzi was also a little unhappy, and almost let his parents come down that day at the Jiang family-"

"I didn't expect men to like gossip too!" Jiang Li couldn't listen anymore and didn't want to go around in circles anymore, "If the second brother wants nothing to do, stay here to eat and then leave?" ”

"Don't bother, I'll leave right away." As he spoke, he didn't move, looked at Jiang Li and grinned: "I have another happy event to inform you, I'm getting married!" ”

And there were some surprises.

Jiang An has a few concubines, and he has not married seriously, so the seat in the main room has been empty.

Jiang Li congratulated him and said, "For such a happy event, as long as someone comes to notify you, you don't need to send a happy note in person." "Father is not here, this gift of the third room should be made by himself.

Jiang An said for a long time: "There is no wedding card for the time being, can my sister's gift come out first?" ”

I'm waiting here. Jiang Wei knew that his courtesy might not be light. He asked calmly: "How much is the second brother going to give to the ninth sister?" Let's talk about it first, I will give as much as my aunt makes, and I can't make her angry more than her. ”

Jiang An said hurriedly: "I haven't been here for a long time, and many people have said good things about you." Even Mrs. Cai, a gatekeeper, also praised you for being generous to your subordinates, how come you become like this when you get to the second brother, you speak sour and choked, and you are afraid that the second brother will come to rob you! ”

That day, when the grandmother came to Meizhuang, Jiang Li deliberately asked someone to prepare an extra table, rewarded the people who had eaten and each person was rewarded with another tael of silver, and the two mothers-in-law in the concierge were five taels of silver. gave pothos Xiaoxiang ten taels, but pothos didn't want it, and was robbed by Xiaoxiang. I didn't expect Mrs. Cai to remember it.

Hearing Jiang An say about robbery, Jiang Li also smiled, and asked him how much he wanted. Jiang An stretched out a finger.

"A hundred taels? It's a little more expensive! Jiang Li was speechless. She remembered that the two sisters in the big room got married, and how much money was given to the second and third rooms, anyway, it was no more than fifty taels.

Jiang An shook his head: "I still need to give you a hundred taels in advance?" I mean, a thousand taels! ”

He also said that he didn't come to rob him! Xiao Xiang and Pothos glanced at each other, and Pothos snorted softly behind Jiang Li.
