The Jiang family is a family that has been passed down for six or seven hundred years, and the family inheritance is long and rich, and the Taiyuan Wang family, Langya Xie family, etc., set up a court side by side to control political affairs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The emperor of the previous dynasty felt that the power of the imperial court was weak, so he created the imperial examination system, gradually eroding the influence of the clan.

The Jiang family of Jinju had two queens in the previous dynasty, both of which unfortunately failed in the palace crushing, and the Jiang family was purged twice in the previous dynasty, and there was a war, which led to the withering of the family.

But the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, the reason was the perennial war and depression, most of the fertile land was abandoned and not cultivated, after the Taizu of this dynasty stabilized the war situation, some people migrated from the prosperous Jinzhou, and the Jiang family also moved to Anqing County.

The Jiang family settled in Anqing County, obtained a number of good fields, and because Yuxuan Gaozu won the imperial examination and entered the court as an official, the Jiang family slowly gained a reputation in the local area, Yuxuan's grandfather was also a good reader, and the official has always been a second-grade household servant.

The real fame of Anqing Jiang's family is that Yuxuan's father and second uncle won the Jinshi together, and his father Jiang Mutong was hand-picked by the saint to explore the flowers, and after learning that he was the grandson of Jiang Jingqi, the household servant, he was a dragon's heart and a great joy, and wrote a plaque for Anqing Jiang's family.

The Anqing Jiang clan still continues the Jinzhou Jiang clan's "filial piety and harmony, the generations are long, and the ancestors are multiplied", and now it has been passed down to five generations, and the heirs are vigorous, and the Jiang family has officially become the first surname in Anqing.

The carriage moved slowly, and finally turned into Xiangyang Street after an hour. Yuxuan looked out through the carriage screen window, and vaguely saw the Jiang family's big mansion with blue bricks and green tiles, flying eaves and arches. The carriage traveled to the gate of the Jiang family, and after waiting for a while, the gatehouse unloaded the high threshold, and the carriage slowly drove into the gate of the Jiang family.

Everyone looked out, only to see the pavilions and pavilions of the Jiang Mansion, carved beams and paintings, and piles of gold and powder, showing the atmosphere of wealth and wealth. An sighed: "The Jiang family really deserves to be the first family in Anqing. ”

Yuxuan didn't care about this, if she hadn't gone through the miserable experience of her previous life, she might have been proud of the Jiang family's wealth and wealth, but now she was worried about the ghosts and ghosts in the Jiang mansion, as well as the inexplicable uneasiness.

Only one branch of the Jiang family compound lives in the descendants, and the other side branches are attached to the courtyard and live in clusters, which are not connected with the common people.

Inside the gate, a stone paved east and west to the road, the end is the ancestral ancestral hall, and the gate is far away, the three courtyards in the south are the family of Yuxuan's grandfather's father and brother, the three courtyards in the north are the courtyards of the three brothers of Jiang Mutong, and the old lady of the ancestor Jiang lives in the Qingren Courtyard with the big house. Everyone got off the bus at Keihito Temple and changed to a sedan chair.

Yuxuan glanced in the direction of the ancestral hall seemingly unintentionally, but let out a surprised voice: "Huh? ”

An Shi turned around and grabbed her: "What's wrong?" Yuxuan came back to her senses and lowered her head: "It's nothing, I just think that our Jiang family is too rich." ”

Jiang Mutong glanced at her: "This shows the favor of the saint and the strength of our clan." Sister Xuan should be proud of being a member of the Jiang clan. Yuxuan lowered her eyelids, unable to see her emotions, and replied softly.

Everyone turned the magpie Dengmei's photo wall, turned the weeping flower door, got off the sedan chair in the second entry, and entered the fourth entrance through the corner gate.

I saw a white-faced long-faced lady dressed in a crimson Luo inlaid gold wide-sleeved gown with a group of maids and wives coming out of the main room, and before she got closer, she heard: "Oh, third brother and third brother and sister, the old lady can wait for you." ”

When she got closer, Yuxuan recognized her as her eldest aunt, Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu took An's hand, and his eyes narrowed into a slit: "Are you tired on the road?" I haven't seen him for a few years, why do my younger siblings look a lot younger? ”

An smiled and greeted: "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me." ”

So saying, the people went into the main room. As soon as he stepped into the house, Jiang Mutong knelt on the ground and cried: "The unfilial son has asked his mother to say goodbye." ”

The old lady who was rich and auspicious was about to walk down excitedly, and a maid next to her hurriedly held on, and the old lady cried: "What are you stopping!" My son, you are so ruthless that you have been away for six years, regardless of my old wife at home, you still know that when you come back, why don't you continue to go outside! ”

Yuxuan was stunned, there was also this experience in her previous life, at that time, she was naïve and unintentional, she just thought that her family was harmonious, but this time she added her mind and paid more attention to everyone's words and deeds.

At this time, she watched her grandmother crying, singing, and fighting, and even alluded to her mother's abduction and father's unfilial piety.

It's strange, grandmother and mother don't get along? Yuxuan peeked at her mother, and sure enough, she saw that An's face was not worried.

Jiang Wu's family has always known the old lady's thoughts, and when she saw that the third uncle's family had just come back, the old lady thought about An's attack, and hurriedly went over and grabbed the old lady: "Mother, don't be sad, the third uncle is not coming back to fulfill his filial piety." I heard that it was supposed to be handed over at the end of the year, and the third uncle was very worried about his mother, and he came back to see you before July. ”

Mrs. Jiang snorted, turned back to her seat, beckoned Jiang Mutong over, hugged her son and cried and parted.

This kung fu, Yuxuan looked at the people in the house, and it was the eldest aunt Jiang Wu who greeted her, and the second aunt came in with them, but she didn't get up in the old lady's right-hand seat, but just glanced at them back and forth a few times, and looked at everyone with a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth, she was holding a four- or five-year-old girl in her arms, and looked at them curiously at this time.

Looking up again, beside my grandmother stood two girls with the same smoky purple light silk short arms and sideburns on top of their heads.

Yuxuan recognized the long-faced woman who was similar to the eldest aunt, Jiang Yufang, the eldest daughter-in-law; The other one who didn't look back and only cared about comforting his grandmother was his half-sister Jiang Yuqian.

An waited for the old lady to cry almost anymore, and leaned over to salute: "Daughter-in-law gives the old lady ten thousand blessings." ”

Old Mrs. Jiang sat up, drooping her eyelids and looking down: "Look at how much weight you have lost, it seems that Jiangnan is a supporter." "Didn't let Ann get up.

Yuxuan looked angry, coupled with the memories of her previous life, she didn't have a good impression of the Jiang family, and interjected: "Grandmother, you are also a crane with a childish face, curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, and you are very rich." ”

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Jiang changed color, and after a sharp light flashed in her eyes, she quickly returned to normal: "This is Sister Xuan?" It's so big. It seems that I have read a lot of books, and the idiom is the first to use. ”

Jiang Mutong hurriedly said: "The child just really wants to please your mother, and he can't speak." An also secretly pinched Yuxuan. Yuxuan endured her anger and also greeted everyone: "Grandmother, eldest aunt, second aunt." ”

Mrs. Jiang put on a score, thinking that the An family is the daughter of the elder after all, and the noble daughter of the high family is not too cheap, she will accept it when she sees it: "Get up, it's been hard all the way." Your sister-in-law sent someone to clean the yard of your third room a few days earlier. After turning around and settling down, I will go to the south to greet your second old lady, meet your relatives, and don't lose the rules. ”

Yuxuan slandered in her heart: You also know the word rules, and suddenly remembered what her sister Yujing said about the old lady: "The old lady was born in a broken household, and she was inferior and arrogant in front of her mother's noble daughter, and she always wanted to suppress her mother to prove that the noble girl was just like that, and she didn't bow to her mother-in-law." It's a pity that the tiger can't be an anti-dog. Thinking of her sister's promotion, Yuxuan couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, yearning for the capital even more.

An's greeted his concubine again, and Jiang Qian's second room returned the salute gently, and then bowed his head to coax his youngest daughter Jiang Yufei.

Jiang Wu said to An's family: "Third brother and sister, when you look back, you see what is missing in the house and tell me, and add it." An replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law is polite, we will only live for a month or two, and we will not get in the way." ”

Mrs. Jiang's face sank: "What, don't you celebrate the New Year at home?" ”

Jiang Mutong saw that his mother was angry, and hurriedly replied: "This time, I want to go to Beijing to report on my work before New Year's Day, and my son also wants to talk to the teachers in Beijing." Again, I have to run for my future stay in Beijing. ”

As soon as Mrs. Jiang heard that it was about her son's future, she was half angry, and just wanted to say a few more words about An's, but suddenly thought that her son had to count on An Ge's old foil for promotion, and she was angry for a while and had nothing to vent, so she still slapped the table heavily: "My wife is used to it anyway, and your future is important." An's, you also have to help the third child. ”

An Shi knew what Mrs. Jiang meant, and nodded in response. Yuxuan looked at Mrs. Jiang's angry and undaring face, and also smiled secretly.

Jiang Yuqian turned around, lowered her eyes and saluted Jiang Mu Tong'an: "Father...... Mother. When she arrived at An's, Yuqian was stunned and still called her mother.

When An heard the word mother, he seemed to be very excited, and pulled Yu Qian: "Good boy, you are so old, go back to your mother's house, I brought you good things." ”

Yuqian watched as An Shi took her hand, and endured it without taking it back.

Yufang heard it and also came over: "Third aunt, you only brought something for Sister Qian, is there any mine?" ”

Jiang Wu pulled Yufang over: "You are a shallow-eyed thing." An Shi looked at it and changed his mind, hinting at the winter snow behind him.

Dong Xue understood, quietly walked outside the house, and happened to bump into the Jiang Shikun brothers who entered the house and lifted the curtain to enter the house, Dong Xue blushed, saluted and went out.

Jiang Shikun, the eldest son of the eldest house, Jiang Shisheng, the second son-in-law, Jiang Shitang, the second-room sister-in-law, and Jiang Shiwei, Yuxuan's half-brother and Yuqian's younger brother, and Jiang Shicheng, the concubine of the third room, came in together to give Jiang Mutong and An a salute.

Jiang Shikun said: "My father went to Zhuangzi and came back the next day. Let me say hello to the third uncle first. Jiang Mutong nodded to indicate that he understood.

Yuxuan glanced at Jiang Shiwei and saw that he looked proud, and only made a simple gesture with An's, and did not kowtow like everyone else, An's didn't think it was strange. Dongxue came in with a few little maids holding things and stood behind An's.

An Shi motioned for them to put their things on the round table, and said with a smile: "This time I came from Hangzhou, and I brought gifts to everyone in the family, and I have asked people to send the large ones to each room, here are a few little girls and young men's things, you can divide them." ”

Jiang Wu smiled: "The third brother and sister are really polite. "Don't stop Yufang from coming forward to pick. Yufang took a red gold treasure hairpin Huadian, and picked up a jasper hairpin for Yu Qian, and then looked at the other box, and saw that it was just some things used by the four treasures of the study, so she didn't pay much attention.

Yuxuan looked at her heart and smiled, and smiled at Yufang and the others: "I see that my sister likes these things a lot." In the past, when I saw the Spring Festival banquet in Hangzhou, I saw a sister with a double red gold nine-turn exquisite bracelet and liked it very much, saying that it was our northern craft. I don't know if Sister Fang knows which gold shop in Anqing County can make it? ”

Yufang said: "Speaking of which, Anqing really doesn't have any good craftsmanship of the gold shop. We are close to the capital, and we have always gone to Beijing to buy fashionable things, where can we see those rustic things in the county? ”

Yuxuan observed everyone's expressions and didn't find anything wrong, for fear of arousing everyone's suspicion, so she changed the topic with a smile.

Everyone greeted each other, except for Jiang Shikun's daughter-in-law Jiang Jia, who was in confinement, Jiang Mutong's family had almost seen it.

Jiang Mutong was left in Qingrenyuan to accompany the old lady to catch up. Yuxuan went back to Qing'an Courtyard with An's to clean up, and came back for dinner.

Out of Qingren Temple, Yuxuan couldn't help but look at the ancestral hall at the end of the road and asked An's: "Mother, is there only an ancestral hall there?" ”

An said: "What else can there be but the ancestral hall." By the way, there is a garden on the left side of the ancestral hall, and I heard that the scenery is good. I'm not here yet, I haven't been there yet. ”

Wrong! Yuxuan didn't know what went wrong, there was a memorial arch in front of the ancestral hall. In the previous life, the Jiang clan was praised not only for a three-jinshi, but also for the amazing Baishou archway.

But now the empty earth in front of the ancestral hall, how can there be the shadow of the archway. What went wrong, or did you really break your head, and everything was just speculation?
