Mrs. Jiang said: "Listen to the meaning of Mrs. An's words, if we really want the dowry of the third wife, the An family will definitely stop it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The big man's..."

The words were not finished, but Mrs. Jiang knew what she meant.

She stroked the box containing the account book of the Shilang's Mansion, and said softly: "The An family's dowry is no longer expected, the eldest provides the second and third children to study, so they have their prestige today." Now that the boss has a problem, it's time for them to reciprocate. The third child doesn't have much silver, and he can top it for a while, so I'll send a letter to the second child to ask for some, and fill in the hole in front of me first! ”

An's dowry has not been received for the time being, and Mrs. Jiang is even more unpleasant when she looks at her, and she always wants to find something for her.

When Jiang Mutong came back in the evening and asked Mrs. Jiang for peace, Mrs. Jiang said: "Your daughter-in-law can't manage the house well, and the Shilang Mansion can spend 100 taels of silver a day to eat?" is so big-hearted, even a mountain of gold has to be defeated by her! ”

Jiang Mutong smiled and said: "Hui'er has been piled up with silver since she was a child, and she is not sensitive to money. Besides, everything in the capital is expensive. ”

Old Mrs. Jiang's face sank: "Is this a cover for your daughter-in-law?" Did my wife say the wrong thing about her? ”

Jiang Mutong hurriedly said: "Mother is serious. That was not what I meant. ”

Mrs. Jiang said, "Then what do you mean?" Sure enough, I married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, so I just said a word about your daughter-in-law, and you waited for me on the phone. Hum! You protect her, can she protect you? I'll teach her how to preside over the feed, and she's good to prevent me from acting like anything. colluded with my mother's family to accuse Sang and scold Huai, and I almost said that I was a vicious mother-in-law who embezzled my daughter-in-law's property! ”

Jiang Mutong was shocked: "What does my mother mean by this?" ”

Mrs. Jiang said: "It's another anger to say it!" Go back and ask yourself! ”

Saying that, he asked Mrs. Jiang to send off the guests, and went back to sleep in the room.

Jiang Mutong asked Mrs. Jiang outside the door: "Mama, what happened today?" ”

Mrs. Jiang wanted to speak and stopped: "How can this make the old slave speak?" Third master, you better go and ask the third lady in person. I can only say: pity the hearts of parents all over the world, the old lady is dedicated to you, but she has suffered so much grievance today. Alas, forget it, the third master and the third wife are a family after all. ”

After speaking, he shook his head and turned around and closed the door of the main room.

Jiang Mutong returned to the East Chamber with a stomach full of doubts, and An Shi greeted him with a smile: "The master is back?" Is my mother asleep? ”

"Someone from the house today?" Jiang Mutong asked.

An nodded: "I know that my mother came to Beijing, and my sister-in-law came to visit." ”

Jiang Mutong asked again: "What did you say?" ”

An Shi frowned: "What can you say?" It's just some homely cooking, and it's all fun. ”

"Really?" Jiang Mutong said: "Didn't you say that the mother-in-law embezzled the daughter-in-law's dowry? ”

After the sister-in-law left, An's had already heard Mama Tian tell the truth, and it turned out that everyone was afraid that Mrs. Jiang would encroach on her dowry.

Originally, she thought that everyone was too careful, but now when she heard Jiang Mutong ask herself about this with anger and yin and yang, the pride in her heart made her open her mouth and ask: "What does San Lang mean by asking this?" Do you think I asked my sister-in-law to say that? ”

Jiang Mutong sneered: "Isn't it? My mother, who was young and widowed, pulled several of us brothers into adulthood, and she was afraid that we would be wronged. Knowing that you have never been connected with the economy, this time I specially instructed you how to host the feed, who knew that you would suspect her, and unite with your mother's family to accuse her! Hui'er, I always thought you were reasonable, gentle and lovely, but it turns out that you are also like other women in the mansion, one on the surface and one behind the other! ”

This is a little hurtful, and An Shi looked at Jiang Mutong in disbelief: "San Lang actually thinks so much about me in his heart?" ”

Jiang Mutong said: "Isn't it? Otherwise, for no reason, how could the sister-in-law of the An family come to tell her mother about the second uncle's family? The second uncle was demoted because he broke the case of confusion and embezzled his daughter-in-law's dowry, but it was not a family affair in the house, why did it become the main crime in your mouth? ”

An said: "Why was the second uncle demoted, how can our inner house women know so clearly?" Of course, the people of the inner house are concerned about the affairs of the inner house! According to your meaning, it is not a sin to embezzle your daughter-in-law's dowry? Then why is it still written in the Great Law? ”

Jiang Mutong said: "To be honest, right? You're still afraid that your mother will ask for your dowry! Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ”

An's tears: "My mother-in-law usually scolds me for some trivial things, have I ever spoken up?" Have you ever been wronged? Now you don't know where to hear some rumors and insult me like this. Saburo, I'm so disappointed! ”

Jiang Mutong said hurriedly: "I'm even more disappointed! My mother was worried that there was something wrong with my life, but I was wronged like this, because I was unfilial. I knew you were such a person, I really regret marrying you! ”

At that time, she was curious, and she went to see what Tanhualang at the window, but she didn't expect that she would not wake up when she fell into the devil, and her father learned that the other party had a wife, so he angrily locked her up and was not allowed to step out of the hospital door again.

When she heard that Jiang Mutong's wife died of illness and the Jiang family came to ask for marriage, she tried her best to buy off the guard's mother-in-law and ran out of the courtyard where her parents held her, and told Jiang Mutong and Mrs. Jiang, who were about to be kicked out of the door, that she was willing.

Stepping on the face of Ange Laofu, he bowed his head in front of the Jiang family from then on, thinking that it would be enough to get a gentle Langjun, who would have thought that now he would say that he regretted it.

An's eyes widened, and he looked at the other party in disbelief: "Is this what San Lang is really saying?" It turns out that you regretted marrying me in your heart? ”

As soon as Jiang Mutong's words came out, he regretted his words a little, and wanted to go up to coax her, but thinking of his mother's forbearance in the main room just now, he couldn't help it.

Mama Tian was shocked when she heard it outside the door, and when she saw that the two were at an impasse, she hurriedly came in and persuaded: "Master, madam, what is there to say, cold words are the most hurtful!" ”

Jiang Mutong didn't want to say anything to An's anymore, so he only lost his temper at Mama Tian: "It's all instigated by you, an old slave!" Hui'er has a good nature, and now she is being taught by you to disrespect her mother, and you won't let me go! ”

said that he was about to kick when he raised his foot, but An Shi saw that his nurse was kicked and hurriedly rushed over, Jiang Mutong didn't catch it, and kicked An Shi in the back.

Mama Tian hugged An Shi, who was kicked to the ground, and asked distressedly: "Madam, why are you so stupid, what are you doing for the old slave?" He said angrily to Jiang Mutong: "The master listens and believes partially, and scolds Mrs. indiscriminately." Mrs. Delusion has been very affectionate to you all these years, and she is busy with you! ”

An coughed a few times, stopped Mama Tian, and said, "San Lang, thank you for kicking me awake, it turns out that all these years, I love wrong." ”

Jiang Mutong has been pampered for so many years, and the gentleness and pettiness of his youth are a little rusty at this time, and he wants to go to La'an's but can't reach out, so he simply doesn't say a word and walks away.

Seeing that his San Lang was really desperate to leave, the last extravagant hope in An's heart turned into ashes, and he cried in Mama Tian's arms.

Jiang Mutong walked out of the courtyard gate, there was nowhere to go, thought about it, turned around and walked across the courtyard.

Before he reached the cross-courtyard, he bumped into a person dressed as a maid.

When he stood firm and looked over, he was shocked: "Yuan Niang! ”

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Master forgive me, the slave didn't see the road clearly and collided with the master!" Forgive your sins! ”

Jiang Mutong knew that he recognized the wrong person, but he didn't expect that there were really people in the world who looked so similar.

He looked at the maid on the ground and asked, "Which courtyard are you from?" What is it called? ”

The maid said: "The slave maid was bought by the old lady on the road, and now she is following the old lady as a rough maid." The old lady hasn't given her name yet, her maiden name is Qian, and her name is Yue'er. ”

Jiang Mutong muttered: "The moon rises brightly, and the best people are shining. You don't need to change your name, Yue'er is fine. ”

When he saw that she was still kneeling on the ground, he said, "Get up, don't kneel down when the ground is cold." ”

The maid named Yue'er got up and secretly raised her eyes to glance at Jiang Mutong, she didn't expect the third master to be so gentle, she lowered her head a little shyly.

Looking at Yue'er's shy and ignorant appearance, Jiang Mutong sighed a little: If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.
