Chapter 681: The Jianghuai Marquis Mansion Who Died
Jianghuai Marquis Mansion Wanshou Hall. {See the latest chapter:}
Mrs. Jiang leaned on the soft backrest, her eyes drooping slightly, and she was a little drowsy.
Only the girl's hand that was beating her leg was a little slower, and then she raised her eyes slightly to look at her, and said lightly: "Go on." ”
The mother-in-law who knelt down looked at her as if she was asleep, her voice had stopped, and when she heard this, she was busy and said: "The clothes and jewelry in the summer have been sent down, Mrs. Hou listened to the old lady, and the girls have added a new set of heads, and the rooms next to them are good, but the seven girls in the five rooms have made a fuss, saying that she is also a concubine, how can she be born only gilded, how is it not inlaid with gems." ”
Raising her eyes and glancing at Mrs. Jiang's expression, the mother-in-law continued: "Mrs. Hu in the third room told the slave yesterday that the third lady wanted to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to bring the six girls back, saying that she begged her mother's family to tell the six girls a family matter, which is from Huzhou, the family has hundreds of acres of land, and there is only one son, the father has gone, and the family is widowed. ”
Mrs. Jiang picked her eyelids, snorted coldly, and still lowered her eyes.
The mother-in-law's voice paused, and she said with a smile on her face: "The slave has asked her to tell the fifth room about this, the marriage that the seventh girl said before was yellow because of the sixth girl's matter, and the fifth lady hated it very much, although it was just a small family, I was afraid that I didn't want the sixth girl to marry off." ”
Mrs. Jiang snorted with satisfaction, rolled her eyes, and said, "That family, you also go and inquire, you can make the third daughter-in-law tempted, I'm afraid it will also be a little beneficial, if it's good." ”
As he spoke, his eyes wandered around the girl who was beating her legs.
The girl raised her head, her delicate face was full of shame but with some joy, and said softly: "Gu Nai hurts me." ”
Mrs. Jiang smiled faintly and said, "Okay, get up, don't hammer, sit on the side, let's talk." ”
This is what it means that she didn't want to listen anymore, so the mother-in-law got up and helped the girl to get up and sit aside, and when she saw Mrs. Jiang waving her hand, she bowed and retreated.
Walked outside the door and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After the death of the old Jianghuai Marquis fifteen years ago, the current Jianghuai Marquis took over, but the stewardship of the house, Jiang Taijun still held it in his hands, until a few years ago, when he was really out of energy, he handed over the housekeeping power to Mrs. Hou, but he still kept an eye on those concubines.
Every once in a while, they will call someone to ask.
Think about it, not only were the sons of those concubines raised, but the daughters were all developed into a temperament that no one dared to marry.
The mother-in-law shook her head and sighed.
Mrs. Jiang's own granddaughters already have good family affairs, but they don't want their concubine's daughter to marry a good family at all.
Even a family with no more than a few hundred acres of land had to be taken away from their distant nieces and granddaughters.
But also, the daughters in those concubines have no blood relationship with Mrs. Jiang.
On the contrary, it is this Wei girl, but the granddaughter of Jiang Taijun's cousin, how can she be involved in the blood.
The third wife looked for this person's family, but because her own girl's reputation was too bad, and because of what happened, Mrs. Jiang directly said that the 4,000 taels of dowry prepared by the public school for the six girls in the house was gone, and the third wife was really helpless.
Otherwise, no matter how good that person's talent is, he is not worthy of the girl in the Jianghuai Marquis's mansion.
But this family, according to her thoughts, is a good marriage for Miss Wei.
Although the Wei family is also a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, the side branches that are not divided out are the same as the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion, they have no money, and Miss Wei's grandfather and father are useless, and Wanguan's family wealth has also been lost.
Only this Miss Wei is also powerful, she knew that she begged Mrs. Jiang at a young age, and she has been gently and pettily pleasing and serving Mrs. Jiang.
Obviously she is also a daughter, but she does better than those maids.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Jiang has moved her mind to help her plan.
Miss Nawei is now a cousin of the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion, but in fact, she has no family wealth at all, and it is really difficult to find a good family.
This family has a simple population, and hundreds of acres of fertile land can live very comfortably.
At that time, Mrs. Jiang will symbolically give a dowry, and Miss Wei will marry as a cousin of the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion, and the family will have to provide for her, and she will not be able to suffer.
It's a pity that Mrs. Jiang rarely has a kind heart, but I'm afraid that Miss Wei may not appreciate it.
Also, after living in this Jianghuai Marquis Mansion for a long time, who would want to marry that kind of small family.
The maids around this old lady Jiang are better than those of other people's wives in terms of food and clothing.
Thinking chaotically in her heart, the mother-in-law walked to the gate of the moon with her head down, but someone outside hurriedly ran over and was bumping into it.
knocked her to the ground.
The person who came was a girl, and when she saw that she bumped into the right-hand woman beside Mrs. Jiang, she hurriedly helped her up, apologized and helped her pat the ashes on her body.
"Rush to death, so urgent! Is this a place where you can run? The mother-in-law scolded with a calm face.
"Mama Wu, I'm sorry, it's really, it's really urgent." The girl said with a red face.
"What's the matter? In such a hurry? Seeing that it was a girl who had always been stable and steady, the mother-in-law asked.
"When the county lord arrived, the third master sent a message to say that the county lord's fleet had arrived at the dock, and I was afraid that in a while, it would come to our house." The girl said a word anxiously, gave a salute to Mama Wu, and hurriedly ran to the main room.
Songjiang Mansion is not big, and it only takes half an hour to come to the mansion from the dock.
And the little guy who passed the word said that when he came, the county lord had already disembarked!
The county lord is coming?
Mama Wu was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her lips unconsciously evoked a light smile, but as soon as the smile rose, it sank again.
Eyes rolled around.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she hurriedly walked to the shadow at the door and quietly watched the reaction in the main room.
At the beginning, Mrs. Jiang received the news that the granddaughter of Gu Nainai was now from Rongning County to visit relatives, and her expression was extremely disdainful.
I heard the news of the county lord again, but it was the county lord who exposed the Shui family in Jinling.
At that time, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she swept all the tea bowls on the table, and her mouth was full of all kinds of curses.
In the middle of April, there was a whirlwind in Taihu Lake, and when she heard that the county lord's fleet was missing in that whirlwind, Mrs. Jiang was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice.
only said that God has eyes, so that the granddaughter of the cheap thing will not die well.
Now, the county lord has arrived, and I don't know what the old lady Jiang will look like.
Mrs. Jiang's face turned red, and she was so angry that she swept off all the utensils on the table, and said angrily: "What? Arrived? Doesn't it mean that when there is a strong wind, the ship capsizes! How did you get there? Who got the news? ”
The girl knelt on the ground, and didn't dare to raise her head and said: "Yes, it was the news that the third master sent someone back, saying that he was afraid of admitting his mistake, and when the county lord got off the boat, he looked at the evidence and determined that it was the county lord, so he sent someone back to pass the word." ”
Mrs. Jiang was even more angry, smashed the soft pillow in his hand, and said, "What do you mean by confirmation!" Everyone has disembarked, and we need to confirm it! ”
The girl was smashed by the soft pillow, and she didn't dare to dodge, so she only said: "The words were passed to the Hou Ye first, and the Hou Ye asked the old lady to return to the court, and let the old lady prepare to go out to greet him, then the lord of Rongning came with a golden seal, if it is rude, you can directly govern a crime of disrespect in the house." ”
I even asked her to go out to greet her personally!
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her eyelids rolled, and she fell backwards.
Dizzy.
