Walking to the rockery by the small lotus pond, Jiang Suoyue explained to Tao'er: "You go to the boating mother-in-law to pick some lotus flowers, and say that the young lady in the pavilion wants to insert a bottle, and let them pick the flowers, don't go down, this small lotus pond is not shallow, be careful." ”

Seeing that Miss cared so much about herself, Tao'er was moved in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Miss, the slave can save it, so let's go." ”

Jiang Suoyue said: "Go ahead." I'm waiting for you here. ”

Peach answered and turned to go.

Jiang Suoyue found a shady rockery and sat down, avoiding the sun, and wiped her sweat. After sitting for a while, she heard that someone seemed to be coming this way, thinking that it was the ladies in the capital invited by Jiang Jiaoyue, and she didn't want to meet them, so she hid some inside.

I heard a pleasant voice from afar and asked, "Where did this sixth lady of her family come from, why have you never heard of it?" ”

"Who knows, I can't look down on it anyway, I look like a little family." The voice of the answer was crisp, and there was an air of arrogance in the words.

Jiang Suoyue smiled indifferently when she heard this, thinking that the cowardice she disguised was still quite effective, this person should be the daughter of the family, and the family was raised like a jewel, how did she know how difficult it was to survive in the cracks when a concubine like her met a powerful mother-in-law.

I only heard the pleasant voice and said: "There are a lot of girls in her family, but there is only one brother, I heard that he is as old as us." Isn't your family looking at you, and she's in charge of Yemen? ”

"Humph! My mother said her house wasn't a good place to go. There was a hint of disdain and arrogance in his tone.

Why is that? Good sister - you know something, tell me about it. ”

The sound outside was a little quieter, but Jiang Suoyue was not far from them, and she could still hear it clearly. "I heard my mother say that the mother of the Jiang family told the second girl of the concubine about the family affairs, and she was a step-room for the Zuo Tongzheng He family."

"A daughter from a concubine can marry a fourth-grade official, even if it is a stepfamily, it is not bad."

"You only know one but you don't know the other, my mother said that Zuo Tongzheng is a mess of flowers and grass on weekdays, and loves to drink, and when he is drunk, he beats people, and the concubines and slaves beat several to death, but he is hiding it from the outside world, I heard that his former wife was often beaten, and later called him injured, and he went in frustration."

"Oops! Such a family didn't let their daughter die? ”

"Who said it wasn't, my mother said, which family like ours doesn't have three wives and four concubines, concubines and concubines, but they are not happy in their hearts, and they are always okay on the surface. Her housewife behaves so untably, she must be unforgiving, and how good will she be to her daughter-in-law in the future. The family population is so complicated, and Master Jiang doesn't care about the affairs of the inner house, so we can't marry her family with a background like ours. ”

"That's what your mother said, isn't that true? It's poisonous, let's go back, I'll go to my grandfather's house later. ”

"Hee-hee, isn't that going to see your good cousin again." The joking voices are getting farther and farther away.

Jiang Suoyue stood behind the rockery in a daze, thinking that it was only difficult to survive here, but she didn't want to be humiliated and in danger of losing her life. It's the second sister today, can't it be her tomorrow, I also know that the Jiang Tian clan won't choose any good relatives for them, but it's just a chess piece, who knows that they don't even want to dig into the long-term value, just trying to kill chickens and take eggs.

After coming here, she also thought that since she couldn't go back, she would live a good life here, at first she also imagined that if she wanted to marry in the future, she would go to a simple family and live an ordinary and beautiful life, who knew that this lifelong happiness was in the hands of others, where was the Jiang Tian family willing to "marry" them, it was just the idea of helping the Jiang family as concubines in the name of a high family. Although she is also wary of the Eda clan, she still has a bit of luck in her heart, she always feels that she is still young, and she always feels that there will be a way in the future. At this moment, even the only luck was shattered, and the road ahead was already a dead end, and she needed to do her best and even do whatever it took to see hope.

Jiang Suoyue turned out from behind the rockery in a daze, but her heart seemed to be clearer. I won't let her succeed, I must break out, let her suffer the consequences of what she has done, and I must make those who really treat me raise their eyebrows. This is the oath of this moment, and it is also the remnant of the previous life!

The crisp autumn day is the best time to organize happy events, and Jiangfu also ushered in the second lady Jiang Wanyue's boudoir joy, and the day before the day, a group of relatives came to add makeup. Jiang Suoyue sent a pair of silver filament inlaid jade treasure flowers to press hair, Jiang Wanyue accepted it with a smile, and said softly: "Sixth sister Xie." ”

Seeing that she was shy and happy, thinking that she had more hopes for her married life, Jiang Suoyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, her second sister had a soft personality, and even some cowardice, I really didn't know how she should deal with the hardships ahead, this poor girl didn't even know what kind of Longtan tiger's den she was going to face.

Of course, Jiang Suoyue won't tell her the truth, so what if she does? None of them can change the decision of the Jiang Tian family, even if it changes, the impact of retiring from the marriage after the marriage is almost devastating to the daughter's family, Jiang Wanyue is a concubine, if she withdraws, where can she find a good family in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even get married. Besides, she herself is not enough to protect herself now, where does she get the noble sentiment to save others! And where can it be saved!

After sitting for a while, Jiang Suoyue got up to say goodbye, and happened to meet Jiang Tian on the road leading a few women to come slowly, and Jiang Jiaoyue also followed behind and walked with him.

Jiang Suoyue hurriedly stepped aside to salute and said, "Greetings to my mother and ladies." ”

Eda squeezed out a loving smile and said to the women, "This child is the quietest of all, and he doesn't often go out and walk, so he doesn't recognize him." ”

looked at Jiang Suoyue again, and said, "If you don't have a place to call Mrs., you should also recognize the relatives in the family, this is your aunt." Then he pointed to a woman about forty years old, dressed in a navy blue silver silk cloak.

Jiang Suoyue sneered in her heart, what kind of quiet temperament, but it just means that she has a withdrawn and cold personality and doesn't know how to be polite, so she can't even recognize her relatives, obviously she has never given herself the opportunity to go to relatives and friends, but this time she is a rake, and she still has to put on such a motherly style, which is really hypocritical!

Thinking like this, he didn't show it on his face at all, only saluted respectfully, and said, "Aunt Tang is good." ”

Subsequently, Jiang Tian introduced a few others, all of whom were related to the Jiang family, and they thought they came to add makeup to Jiang Wanyue.

Jiang Suoyue has seen them one by one, the etiquette is standardized, the language is regular, although she doesn't want to be too generous and outstanding, and she has committed the taboo of the Jiang Tian clan, but she doesn't want these women to think that she is a straw bag that can't be on the stage, the women in Beijing have their own circles, and the spread of news is the most powerful, if today's performance is too bad, I am afraid that it will not take long to destroy her image and reputation, reputation is simple to destroy, but it is not easy to maintain, but in this society it is a big deal, even if you are cautious, it is not too much.

The woman who was called Aunt Tang looked very kind, she saw that although Jiang Suoyue's face was immature, she was born with a delicate jade and delicate life, and her manners were decent, so she gave birth to some affection, took Jiang Suoyue's hand, and said with a smile: "This child is really pleasant, and he will come to the house more often in the future." ”

Jiang Suoyue said yes with a smile.

Jiang Jiaoyue saw that Jiang Suoyue was praised, and she was very unhappy in her heart, she has always been pampered, since the eldest lady of the Jiang family got married, she is the only concubine in the family, and she has to pay more attention to it, and has always been the focus of attention.

She said in a soft and glutinous tone: "Aunt Tang just said that she likes Jiaojiao the most, and she gave me this pair of bracelets, why is she pulling the sixth sister now, and now I don't know what kind of good things to take out as a meeting gift, and the sixth sister is only afraid that she is looking forward to it tightly." She looked coquettish, as if she was really coquettish, but the provocative look handed to Jiang Suoyue when she stroked the bracelet revealed her thoughts.

That look seems to say, people are just polite to you, if you really like you, why don't you even have a meeting gift, I have it, go look in the mirror yourself, don't want to compare with me in your life!

Jiang Suoyue glanced at the bracelet on her hand, the jade was transparent, smooth and shiny, it was really a good thing. But she won't take this matter to heart, it's just a matter of courtesy, and the Jiang Tian clan is afraid that there are a lot of them, and they don't give it to you, but just to look at your mother's face. She laughed in her heart, you Jiang Jiaoyue spoke out quickly to block me for a while, but she didn't want to think that this act also swept away people's faces, whether this aunt forgot or disdained to do these love articles with her concubine, she was told to her face by a little girl, she must not be happy in her heart.

Sure enough, Jiang Suoyue saw that the cousin's aunt's face turned slightly red, and she was very embarrassed.

Because Jiang Jiaoyue's words implied that she was looking forward to the meeting gift, Jiang Suoyue had to explain, so she said softly: "Don't dare to spend money on Aunt Laotang." In the eyes of my niece, all the gifts given by the elders are kindnesses, not taken for granted, and our generations should be treated with a respectful heart, and will never be greedy. "The implication of her words is that I have never had the idea of meeting and presenting, it is your Jiang Jiaoyue's self-speculation. In addition, I will treat the gifts given by my elders with a respectful heart, and will not use them as a means of showing off like you, Jiang Jiaoyue.

Hearing this, the aunt's face really improved a lot, and she plucked a red gold inlaid red coral blessing hairpin from her head, and said to Jiang Suoyue: "He is a good boy who knows etiquette." You're still young now, and you don't need this hairpin now, but it's just a piece of my heart. ”

Jiang Suoyue hurriedly accepted it respectfully, and said, "Aunt Xie Tang." ”

Jiang Jiaoyue saw that the coral inlaid on Jiang Suoyue's hairpin was extraordinary, so red that it seemed to drip blood, and it was a top-grade product at a glance, and she was stunned for a while, and was about to say something, Jiang Tian hurriedly said: "It's not too early, let's go and meet the bride." ”

Jiang Jiaoyue saw that Jiang Tian's words interrupted her, and left with everyone, she was so angry that she stomped her feet and helplessly followed, but she didn't know that Jiang Tian's heart was even more depressed at the moment. And she couldn't explain anything, if she deliberately explained, it confirmed that her daughter's words were not jokes, they were inappropriate words, and they were bullying her sister. But that little slut was suddenly very clever today, and the timing and wording of the response were appropriate, and she actually asked her blind cat to meet a dead mouse, which made her daughter dim, which really made her very unhappy!

Jiang Tian secretly gritted his teeth and walked towards Jiang Wanyue's courtyard with hatred.
