The green trees hide the new cicadas, the smoke sends a light rain, the air is faintly filled with the fragrance of the locust tree, and under the window covered by the plantain sits a delicate girl, holding a book in one hand and holding a root-like object in the other hand to look at it carefully, she frowned slightly, her eyes were extremely focused and serious, it was Jiang Suoyue who was learning to identify medicinal materials.

Now Zhang Luo's marriage for Jiang Qingshu is the most concerned matter of Jiang Tian's family, and with this important matter, her attention to the back house has been much looser, and Jiang Suoyue's life has become easier and fulfilling. In the morning, I listened to the female gentleman teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and in the afternoon, when the female gentleman instructed Jiang Jiaoyue to practice, she did not do the background, but secretly went to Aunt Ning to learn medical skills. is also working hard to improve herself, Jiang Jiaoyue has ready-made resources, and she doesn't have to do many things herself, but she can only put in more effort and spend more effort. Jiang Jiaoyue didn't have to worry about the future, but she had to be fully prepared for the difficulties she might face in the future. Therefore, every day she would take extra time to read medical books and look for medicinal materials to compare with the references described in the books.

Pearl came back from outside, entered the courtyard, looked around, and saw that there was no one left and right, so she softly entered the house and walked to Jiang Suoyue's side, and said, "Miss, I'm back, this is the silver money from selling embroidery." With that, hand over a purse.

The Eda clan has always been stingy with the concubines, the monthly money will only be enough every month, but it is difficult to ensure the quality of life, those subordinates look at the face of the housewife, and they are very unkind to these concubines and concubines. She and Aunt Ning are just going back, but Jiang Qinghui has already been enlightened, pen, ink, paper, inkstone is not an expense, although Jiang Zhaolin takes a lot of care of his youngest son, but he is busy with business, it is difficult to cover everything, those subordinates are tricky and sleek, and often look at the lack of loopholes, and they must collect some money to stop.

Jiang Suoyue really hated this feeling of being short of money, so she took Aunt Ning, Pearl and Zhiqiu to do some embroidery work, and asked Zhang's mother to go out to exchange money, first, she could practice needlework, and secondly, she would also add an entry. After all, she knows how to write and ink, although the painting art is not fine, but after a few years of hearing and seeing, it is not a problem to draw a pattern, and the embroidered things are always a little more exquisite than the embroidery girl outside, and it can also be sold at a good price.

Pearl is very distressed about her own lady, originally like Miss such a boudoir woman should not be hand-embroidered objects flowed out, it is really in the way of reputation, and everyone's beautiful status is precious, how can it be with the embroidery girl in exchange for silver money. It's just that the young lady feels sorry for her younger brother, so she wronged herself like this, and her hand holding the silver only felt heavy.

Jiang Suoyue didn't know what Pearl thought, even if she knew, she would laugh at it, she didn't care about that, and selling embroidery was not all for Jiang Qinghui, but also because of herself.

She put down the books and medicinal materials, took the purse in Pearl's hand, took a box hidden at the head of the bed and opened it, put the purse in and locked it, holding the heavy box, and suddenly felt a little more secure in her heart.

In Jiang Qingshu's study, Jiang Jiaoyue took out two plates of dim sum from the food box, put them in Jiang Qingshu's hand, and said with a smile: "Big brother, come and try the dim sum, it was just made, and it is still hot." ”

Jiang Qingshu put down the book, looked at her doting and helplessly, and said, "Anyway, what do you want me to buy you this time?" ”

Jiang Jiaoyue stomped her feet and said angrily: "Big brother, why do you say this about your own sister-in-law, I didn't come to beg you to buy me something." ”

Jiang Qingshu said with a smile: "Then you came to beg me to be a lobbyist for you in front of your mother, what do you want to do, and your mother doesn't rely on you?" ”

Jiang Jiaoyue glanced at him and said, "Big brother is really, I must have something to ask you for when I come to bring you snacks." ”

"Since it's okay, I've taken all the snacks, why don't you leave?"

Jiang Jiaoyue suddenly blushed, pulled her sleeves writhingly, and said, "There is a trivial matter to trouble the eldest brother, but it's not what you just said, it's ...... I just want to ...... you Ask you about someone. "In the end, the sound is like a mosquito, almost inaudible.

Jiang Qingshu heard it clearly, and when he saw his sister-in-law's situation, he sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who do you want to inquire?" ”

"That's it...... It was the last time I came to our house...... The boy in blue. She was afraid that Jiang Qingshu wouldn't be able to remember, so she added, "You guys...... The one you came to look for in the garden. ”

Jiang Qingshu's face was solemn, and he recalled it for a long time, and then he remembered that Jiang Jiaoyue was talking about Xiao Yan, and said: "Oh-you're talking about Ji Ting, he is the second son of the Xiangling Hou family, his name is Xiao Yan, and his name is Ji Ting." What are you asking about this for? Although he had some guesses about the reason why his sister inquired about Xiao Yan, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, nothing." Jiang Jiaoyue waved her hand again and again, her face flushed, she naturally didn't dare to admit that she admired that son in her heart.

Jiang Qingshu saw that she refused to confess, involving the girl's heart, but it was not easy to force her, but frowned and said: "He is the same disciple as me, I shouldn't talk about him behind my back, but we are not outsiders, I will say a little bit about it, this person has a prominent family background, and his temperament is very unruly, I heard that he has been married, if I am a woman, I am afraid that I will not marry such a person." In his eyes, it is not a gentleman's work to talk about the length of people behind his back, but when he thinks of Xiao Yan's reputation for attracting bees and butterflies, and the appearance of his sister-in-law's budding heart, it really makes his scalp numb, and he has to say something to remind him.

has already been married, Jiang Jiaoyue didn't notice the hint in her brother's words at all, her mind was completely attracted by the fact that Xiao Yan had already made a marriage, her face could not hide her disappointment, and she wanted to cover it up and said: "I just asked casually, what are you talking about these things!" I have something to do behind me, so I'll go first. ”

Jiang Qingshu watched Jiang Jiaoyue out of the study, shook her head gently, and secretly hoped that she was just a little girl's heart, and then she could put down her thoughts about Xiao Yan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ divider ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jiang Qingshu didn't know that Xiao Yan was not interested in his sibling at all, but his half-sister. But he said that Xiao Yan paid attention to Jiang Suoyue that day, and after returning home, he quietly inquired about Jiang Suoyue's identity, and it was the fastest way to ask Jiang Qingshu directly, but he knew that he was the most polite and polite in the same family, and if he stepped forward to inquire about his sister who was raised in the boudoir, he was afraid that he would be scolded, but it would not be beautiful.

With his ability to inquire, it was easy to inquire about a person's origin, and soon he got the news.

Concubine, Xiao Yan grabbed the note in his hand, leaned back on the rosewood chair, looked at the melting candle on the table, his heart was very comfortable, he was still a little worried that this woman named Jiang Suoyue was the daughter of Jiang Shilang, if so, he had already made up his mind, and he could no longer marry the daughter of the Jiang family. Since she is a concubine, it is much easier to do, and when this woman grows up again, if she is still as beautiful and wise as she is now, he will accept her.

Xiao Yan was born from a prominent family and a valuable identity, and he wanted whatever he wanted from childhood to adulthood, so he naturally felt that he could get everything he wanted in this world. Although he is the fourth son in the family, but the brother of a mother's compatriot died of illness without leaving an heir, and the other two brothers are concubines. Therefore, he never considered whether Jiang Suoyue was willing or not, thinking that it was only a matter of time before the beauty was conceived, and he just had to wait for this woman to grow up.

Thinking like this, Xiao Yan smiled, he was rarely interested in a woman, and he felt that the woman must be in his pocket, so he was naturally satisfied and in a comfortable mood.

Two flowers, one on each table. But said that Jiang He was also playing the idea of Jiang Suoyue's family affairs, since she went to the banquet that day, after moving the mind of being a matchmaker, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this family had done it, and it happened that her younger sister He Li brought her nephews and nieces to the door, and Jiang He told her younger siblings about her plan.

"Is this girl really that good?" He Li asked.

Jiang He glanced at the little nephew He Junchi next to him, and deliberately said it to him, raised his voice slightly, and said: "My good brother and sister, can my sister lie to you about such a big thing, that girl was born like the person in the painting, and she is quiet and polite, dignified and virtuous, it couldn't be better." ”

He Li was a little hesitant, the other party's family was higher, although it was the daughter of the family, they didn't climb high, but this door was high, and their horizons would also rise, but they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to go together in the future, so they said: "This girl's family is higher, I'm afraid I can't look down on our family." ”

Jiang He disagreed, and said: "Although the family is high, she is just a concubine, can she be wronged by Brother Jun?" ”

He Li was silent, she herself wanted to find a suitable woman as a daughter-in-law, and the small family also had the benefits of a small family.

Jiang He is also a mother-in-law, so she naturally understands her concerns, so she will tell her plans one by one: "The family is high, there are benefits of the family, Brother Jun is good at studying, and he will definitely be out of office in the future, this is the official who pays the most attention to personal relationships, if he can take such a line, Brother Jun will be able to beat my brother in the future." ”

As a mother, the most concerned thing is naturally the future of the child, He Li was immediately moved, nodded in agreement, and said: "That's right." ”

Jiang He added: "Don't worry, that girl's mother is a good concubine, she was the daughter of a good family, and she is a serious person, and the girl can't go wrong." ”

He Li didn't even have the last bit of worry now, and said: "Then there is Sister Lao who will plan for our brother Jun." ”

Jiang He nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I treat Brother Jun as my own child, and I will definitely do my best in this matter." I'll find a chance for you and Brother Jun to take a look at that girl another day, and if you look at the right eye, I'll go and explore her family's tone again, and it won't be bad. ”

He Junchi on the side originally listened to his mother and aunt with his ears, after all, it involved his life's events, and he was inevitably curious. When he heard his aunt say that the girl was helpful to his career, he felt a sense of shame and indignation in his heart, his young nature, it was inevitable that he would be lonely and self-promising, and he was ashamed to entrust the strength of the woman and the Yue family to seek a future, but because of what the elders said, he could not refute it. In fact, what he didn't realize was that another important reason why he didn't refute it was that deep down in his heart he knew that this was the truth, but he didn't want to admit it. In his subconscious, in the face of such a family, he is actually inferior, but in the end, he is young and frivolous, and he always feels that one day he can change the status quo with his own strength, so he ignores the inferiority complex and unwillingness to ignore the bottom of his heart.

When He Junchi heard that he finally saw his mother's approval, he became curious and shy in his heart, curious about what kind of woman the other party was, and when he thought that she would be with him for life, his face was faintly hot.
