81. Chapter 81

Jiang's Mansion is a century-old mansion, this mansion has experienced wind and rain, and there is a simple and solemn atmosphere everywhere, but Gu Sanniang has no intention of watching it at the moment, she took Xiaoye and Yu Ge'er, under the guidance of the servants, all the way through the alleys, and came to the main courtyard of Jiang's Mansion.

Along the way, Gu Sanniang noticed that there were not many people in Jiang's house, and occasionally there were servants and servants of the family who met with them, but they just bowed to the side and did not take the initiative to talk, and entered the main room, the servants in front of them opened the curtain, and there was a landscape interstitial screen in front of them, Gu Sanniang and others bypassed the interstitial screen and came to the back room, only to see Prime Minister Jiang Cheng sitting on the Taishi chair against the east wall, and beside him stood a man and two women with hair in a bun, Gu Sanniang didn't recognize it.

After the servants sent Gu Sanniang in, they retreated, and there were only a few of them left in the house, Gu Sanniang stepped forward to salute Jiang Chengxiang, and asked the two children to kowtow to him.

Prime Minister Jiang looked at the two children kneeling on the ground, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Get up." ”

Before entering the mansion, Gu Sanniang had already explained to Xiao Yezi and Yu Ge'er that they couldn't be casual like they were at home, and that they were behaving with two children, until they saw Gu Sanniang nodding, and then they stood up.

After the child saw the ceremony, Jiang Zhongming pointed to a tall woman and said, "This is the daughter-in-law of Zhenyan." ”

Gu Sanniang bowed to her, she looked at the woman, her nose was high, her eye sockets were deep, her eyes were rare brown, her hair was a little bent, although she was wearing a smock and skirt, it was obvious that she was a woman from a foreign race.

Gu Sanniang had heard from Dongfang Jian before, Jiang Zhenyan, the second son of the Jiang family, married Princess Jichang of Wusun Kingdom, this Wusun Country was barren and weak, after Dayuan subdued Wusun Kingdom, Princess Jichang was sent to kiss, I don't know why I fell in love with Jiang Zhenyan, at that time, when the Jiang family and Emperor Jingwen were in harmony, the court gave the Jiang family this dignity, who knew that after marrying into the Jiang Mansion for many years, Jiang Zhenyan has been guarding the border passes, and Princess Jichang has seen him only a handful of times.

Princess Jichang seemed to have a cold face, as if she didn't like to interact with people, she returned the salute and stood aside silently.

Prime Minister Jiang pointed to the only man in the room besides him and said, "This is Jin Yan, and next to him is his daughter-in-law Sun." ”

Gu Sanniang also stepped forward to salute, and Jiang Jinyan and his wife hurriedly returned the salute.

Jiang Jinyan is the son of the Jiang family, just over fifteen years old this year, at the age of thirteen, he was admitted to the exam, his demeanor is gentle and elegant, and standing next to him is his wife Sun, who has been married for less than a year, the husband and wife got married a little early, and the face is still childish.

This Sun smiled back at Gu Sanniang and called softly: "Sister-in-law." ”

Gu Sanniang's face turned red, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, so she had to smile and call her her sister.

The population of the Jiang family is simple, from Prime Minister Jiang to the sons below, there is no rule of taking concubines, and the rest of the relatives of the side tribes live nearby, and most of their mansion is empty.

After saluting each other, Jiang Cheng said to Gu Sanniang: "You take the two children to live in the east courtyard, the house there is open, and people have been dialed over, and it is enough for the three of you to live." ”

Gu Sanniang didn't know where the east courtyard Jiang Cheng was talking about, she just listened to his orders, then Jiang Cheng thought for a while, and said: "The county lord is not in good health, you don't have to bother her, what is the shortage in the house, just tell the housekeeper." ”

The county lord that Jiang Cheng said in his mouth was naturally the county lord of Jiayuan that he married later, Gu Sanniang also heard Dongfang Jian mention that a few years ago in the autumn hunt, a frightened horse broke into the curtain where the female dependents were resting, and accidentally stepped on the county lord of Jiayuan, although fortunately she saved her life, but unfortunately her legs were crippled, and since then the county lord of Jiayuan has rarely appeared in front of people.

Since Prime Minister Jiang Cheng said that there was no need to visit the county lord of Jiayuan, Gu Sanniang was also happy to avoid this stepmother-in-law.

It was not early, Gu Sanniang, who had just entered the house, still needed to go back to the house to settle down, and Prime Minister Jiang asked someone to lead her and the two children to the east courtyard, and only then did Gu Sanniang have the leisure to look at the house.

There are few masters in the Jiang family, and there are not many servant women retained, copying the verandah all the way, and the garden and pavilion are rare in Gu Sanniang's life, but here is cold everywhere, and the servant woman who leads her can never say a word without speaking.

After walking for a long time, they entered a courtyard, this courtyard looked vacant before, there was a plane tree planted in the yard, the plane tree was thick and tall, I am afraid that it would take Brother Yu and Xiao Yezi to hug it, there were three hugging houses behind the main house, at this time there were two mothers-in-law and two maids standing at the door, they saw Gu Sanniang, saluted her together, and said: "Grandma!" ”

Gu Sanniang was stunned, this grandmother made her feel uncomfortable, and before she could speak, the servant woman who brought her over pointed to the two mothers-in-law and said, "One of these two people is Liu Wupo and the other is Lin Pozi, who is in charge of the sprinkling and sweeping in the house." ”

After that, she pointed to the two maids and said, "This is Caiyun, that's Caixia, the two of them take care of the daily life of grandma and her brothers and sisters, if there is anything that is not done well, grandma can send someone to call me." ”

Gu Sanniang thanked her, and the servant woman went back.

After she left, Caiyun and Caixia took them into the inner room, on the left and right sides of the main hall, one is a study, which is full of books, and the other is the living room, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and there are also a hall, a flower hall, and a cover room.

Gu Sanniang was packing up his clothes with Xiao Yezi and two maids in the house, when he heard Brother Yu running in, he was holding a few books, and said to Gu Sanniang excitedly: "Mother, there is a handwriting written by Daddy in the book." ”

Gu Sanniang was about to blame him for tampering with the things in the house, but when she heard this, she said, "What is it written?" ”

It turned out that an ancient man said a sentence 'There is no god in form, and there is no god in form', Shen Zhuo made a comment, and Yu Ge'er read according to it: "You, the ancient, are really ridiculous, you have never seen God, so you say that there is no god, it is really narrow, you must know that there are no wonders in the world, how can you generalize?" ”

Then, he wrote a mysterious experience of encountering a ghost, Gu Sanniang couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, she didn't expect Shen Zhuo to quarrel with the ancients, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "When was this written?" ”

Brother Yu glanced at the payment and the time again, he silently calculated, and said: "It was written by my father when he was twelve years old, but why is the payment Jingyan?" ”

Caiyun seemed to be more lively, and she hurriedly said to Brother Yu'er: "Brother, don't you know that this is the uncle's name?" ”

Brother Yu was stunned, turned his head to look at Gu Sanniang, Gu Sanniang smiled at him, and said, "Look at what else is written in the book." ”

Yu Ge'er flipped through it, there were a lot of annotations in the book, most of them were written by Shen Zhuo when he was twelve or thirteen years old, some were refuting what the ancients said, and some were very much in agreement with a certain argument, but whenever he made annotations, laughed and scolded, quoted scriptures, even Gu Sanniang, who had never read a book, also felt very interesting, she listened to it for a long time, and was slightly distracted, as if she saw an unruly young man standing in front of her.

Xiao Yezi and Brother Yu flipped through the books together, and said happily: "I know it, my father quarreled, and those three aunts and six women came to ten and were not his opponents, and if he scolded people, he didn't have the same thing." ”

Gu Sanniang was angry and funny, she said, "Don't arrange your father like this." ”

Xiao Yezi stuck out his tongue, and read the book with Brother Yu'er, and Caiyun beside him said: "Maybe no one told grandma, the uncle used to live in the east courtyard, he came back rarely, and there was only one old woman to guard on weekdays, this time grandma and brother and sister moved in, and the house called a few of us to serve." ”

When Gu Sanniang heard that this was where Shen Zhuo lived before, her heart was inexplicably relaxed, she glanced around, thinking that Shen Zhuo had also slept here, she couldn't help but feel much more at ease.

Let's say that Gu Sanniang's mother and son moved into Jiang's mansion, three meals a day were specially delivered to the door, and she didn't have to do the work in the house, and she had her own maid and wife to clean it up, but there was only one end, she always remembered Shen Zhuo who was still in prison, and now she was in Jiang's mansion, and her eyes were black on Shen Zhuo's side, and her heart was like grass growing in her heart.

On this day, Gu Sanniang took her two children to take a walk in the garden, she just walked a few steps, and saw the Sun family and the maids in the moon picking season, she saw Gu Sanniang, and greeted her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you also come to visit the garden." ”

Gu Sanniang is still very unaccustomed to this sister-in-law, the little girl is only a few years older than her daughter, although she is married to a woman, she still looks innocent, she said: "I have picked many moons, and I will ask someone to send it to your house to insert the bottle." ”

People were kind, Gu Sanniang thanked her, and asked, "Why do you pick so many flowers?" ”

Sun Shi grinned, and she said: "Xianggong saw a recipe for the ancients to make rouge in the book, I picked the flowers and went back to try to boil the juice, and if it was done, I would send some to my sister-in-law." ”

Gu Sanniang smiled and said, "Then thank you very much." ”

"What's so thankful for this, you're here, I just have one more person to talk to, and the second sister-in-law is also pretty good, but she likes to be quiet, so I don't want to bother her often." Sun continued to pick flowers as he spoke.

Gu Sanniang helped her pick flowers together, and asked as if unintentionally, "I heard that Master Jiang is not at home these days." ”

Sun replied: "This is a common thing, our house, it is rare to have a few people, a few days ago, the lord called the prime minister over to reprimand, telling him not to delay his study, these days, I have become more and more without anyone to talk to." ”

Gu Sanniang smiled, this Sun family seems to be really young and careless, and she also took out the matter of her father-in-law being reprimanded, she said: "Then you go to the east courtyard to talk to me when you are free, just don't dislike the two children and quarrel with others." ”

Sun said happily: "How can that be? I just like a lot of people. ”

The two of them picked flowers while talking, and after a while, the basket was filled, Sun took the flower blue and sniffed it, she said happily: "I want to go to my mother-in-law's house to send flowers, sister-in-law will go with me?" ”

Gu Sanniang's heart moved, and she said, "Lord Jiang told me not to disturb the county lord, and I still don't make any claims." ”

Sun also remembered Prime Minister Jiang's words that day, she nodded twice, then said goodbye to Gu Sanniang, and prepared to go to the courtyard of the county lord of Jiayuan, after walking a few steps, she turned back again, looked at Gu Sanniang and said: "Sister-in-law, next time you call Master with us, and call Master Jiang in the house, it's really too outward." ”

Gu Sanniang saw that she was so enthusiastic, so she had to nod helplessly and agree.
