Chapter 17: The Steward

The mushroom soup at night was really fragrant, Jiang Moyan drank it very satisfied, and lay on the bed and cocked Erlang's legs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Ye suddenly came in. Jiang Moyan hurriedly put down his legs like a thief, and smiled weakly. It's a pity that he still didn't escape Xiao Ye's nagging: "Miss, you are a girl, you can't cross your legs, it's very indecent......"

Jiang Moyan wanted to plug his ears. At this time, there was a knock outside the door, interrupting Xiao Ye's nagging. Jiang Moyan secretly rejoiced.

Xiao Ye opened the door, and a lady led a young lady with a hat to visit.

Jiang Moyan hurriedly greeted him, and saw that it was a lady in her forties, followed by a very tall person with a long bib on his head.

When the two saw Jiang Moyan, they knelt on the ground with a "poof", and called them "little master".

Jiang Moyan was startled, hurriedly got out of the way, and went to help the two of them get up, only to find that the man hidden under the bib was actually a man, who was also forty miles away.

Xiao Ye saw a man suddenly appear, and hurriedly stood in front of the young lady, looking like a protector.

The man hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, little master, the old slave Jiang Huai is the old housekeeper of your grandfather Jiang family." Then he pointed to the woman and said, "This is the old slave's cheapness." ”

When Jiang Moyan heard this, he was surprised and wondered: "You are my grandfather's old housekeeper back then?" So how did you find me? ”

Xiao Ye looked for two stools, asked the two to sit down, and went to close the door again.

Then Jiang Huai sighed and began to tell: "The old slave is the son of the Jiang family, he has been with the master since he was a child, and he became the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion in his twenties. When Mrs. gave birth to a young lady, she was still a midwife. Later, he became the housekeeper mother in the lady's room. ”

When the woman saw her husband talking about her, she hurriedly got up and saluted Jiang Moyan. Jiang Moyan hurriedly stopped, these are all people who can be his grandmother.

Jiang Huai saw that the little master had a kind attitude towards his husband and wife, and comforted him, and hurriedly continued: "After giving birth to Miss, Mrs. has never conceived a child again. Later, the master's boss gave the master a concubine. A few days after the woman entered the house, Mrs. looked for a short time, and everyone said that Mrs. was born out of jealousy, but the master resolutely did not believe it, and only let me stare at the woman every day. ”

Jiang Moyan asked, "Did that woman show any feet?" ”

Jiang Huai nodded and said, "That woman really has a problem." The old slave stared at it for a few days before he found it. Jiang Huai said as he took out an envelope from his underwear.

Jiang Moyan took the envelope, and his eyes lit up. took out the letter and read it carefully, before saying to Jiang Huai: "Grandpa housekeeper, thank you so much, with this letter, that woman can't escape anymore." ”

Jiang Huai said ashamedly: "It's all old slaves who are useless, I have waited for so many years before I have the opportunity to come up with this thing." ”

Jiang Moyan comforted him a few words, and then asked, "What about later?" ”

Jiang Huai continued: "Later, the master also knew about it, but he didn't report it to the official. The old slave once asked the master, and the old man said: That man has a big man to protect him, and with these things, he can't be defeated. The old slave didn't understand this, but just kept this letter according to the master's instructions. Later, the old man asked the old slave to prepare a lot of valuable gifts for the man. The old slave thought that this was the end of the matter, but he didn't think about it, and after a few days, the old man fell ill. ”

"The old slave remembered that the old man once said that if he encountered any accidents, he would be harmed by that person, we can't fight that person, we must not avenge him, only tell the old slave to protect the young lady."

When Jiang Huai said this, tears flowed down his eyes, and he choked up: "I didn't think about it, before the old man smoked, those people harmed the young lady and sent the young lady to the nunnery." The old slave wanted to stop it, but then he thought that if he could get out of the control of those people, maybe there would be a way to live, so they sent the young lady away. The old slave wanted to tell the young lady all this, but the young lady had a weak temperament, and if she couldn't fight them, she would be harmed by them, so the old slave never dared to tell the truth. What I didn't expect was that Miss she ...... She...... Or was he killed...... The old slave has the trust of the old man, I'm sorry for the master, and I'm sorry for the young lady! Speaking of this, this middle-aged man in his forties burst into tears without any image.

Jiang Moyan had to continue to comfort: "Don't be sad, it was right for your mother to leave that house back then, you didn't do anything wrong, as for the murder of your mother, it's not the family that those people did, maybe someone else." ”

Jiang Huai wiped his tears and said: "The little master doesn't want to comfort the old slave, the old slave has been ashamed of the master and the young lady all his life, and now he has come to the little master to avenge the old man and the young lady!" ”

As the old couple spoke, they were about to kneel down again.

Jiang Moyan is really not used to the ancients' problem of kneeling at every turn, not to mention being bowed down by a pair of people who are almost able to be her grandparents, it is simply a long life!

In order to divert the attention of the two, Jiang Moyan continued to ask: "Then how have you spent so many years?" ”

The old housekeeper wiped his tears and said: "The old slave is afraid of the woman's revenge, after the master went, he took the initiative to resign from the housekeeper and took the family to the Zhuangzi in the countryside. ”

Jiang Moyan said again: "Then how do you know that I am here today?" ”

The old housekeeper explained: "That day, Miss went to Shangshu Mansion, and there was a person who sent you a message, that person was called Song Xiang, who was a spy secretly sent to Cui's Mansion by the master, and later after the master passed away, he took the initiative to find the old slave, and the old slave only then knew about him. After Song Xiang saw the little master that day, he sent a message to the old slave and asked the old slave to take care of the young lady.

Jiang Moyan nodded, and then the whole thing was smoothed out.

The old housekeeper said again: "Although the incident happened to the young lady, she did not marry into the Tong family, and the two families also quit after that. Although the little master is the daughter of the prime minister, she is also the only bloodline of the Jiang family. If the little master can return to the Jiang family in the future, even if he recruits Xu, he can inherit the incense of the Jiang family, so that the branch of the Jiang family will not be broken, and the master will be relieved if he knows under the spring. Please think twice! ”

Jiang Moyan didn't expect these things, and pondered for a while before saying: "Actually, my mother gave birth to a pair of twin brothers and sisters. I also have an older brother alive. ”

Jiang Huai was surprised: "Didn't you say that the baby boy was dead?" ”

Jiang Moyan said: "I just heard Master Huixin say that in fact, my brother is not dead. It was only because my brother was a baby boy that he was in the way of some people, so he caused the fire. My mother was afraid that the news of my brother's life would cause trouble again, so she told outsiders that the baby boy was dead, leaving only one of my daughters. ”

Jiang Huai was pleasantly surprised: "Then where is your brother now?" ”

"Don't worry, grandfather, Master Huixin said, when the time is ripe, my brother will appear. Now you go back and wait for news, and when your brother redresses your grandfather's grievances, he will come back. ”

"Really! That's great, the Jiang family finally has a queen. Jiang Huai said as he burst into tears again.
