Today, I secretly went out of the house to swim in the lake in Qianli Pond, and I wanted to relax, but I didn't know that there was no happiness at all, but I made myself sad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut this adventure is not worth the trip.

Qingling was not loved by his stepmother, and was raised under the knees of Mrs. Tai since he was a child. When Mrs. Tai entered the Jiang Mansion, the Jiang family was also a big family, and the old lady successively accepted three concubines, and fought wits and courage with a few restless women all her life.

Who would have thought that such a strong woman as Mrs. Rutai would have a thin relationship with her children, and her stomach would not move after giving birth to her sister-in-law Jiang Wenyuan. It just so happened that the son was submissive from childhood to adulthood, and he was much more cowardly than his strong mother, and after the death of Qingling's mother, he raised Wang's as the main house, and Wang's big and small affairs were also decided by Wang.

Mrs. Tai was not in a good mood, but her son was not angry, and Mrs. Tai finally did not want her son to be wronged between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she simply moved to the old garden outside the city, and came out of sight and out of mind, and raised Qingling wholeheartedly. When Mrs. Tai was young, she was surrounded by celebrities from high-ranking officials and aristocratic families in the capital, and her knowledge and planning were not comparable to those of ordinary women.

For more than ten years, under the personal teaching of Mrs. Tai, Qingling is not like the education of other young ladies who are not talented and virtuous, she not only read a lot of books, but also has Mrs. Tai's lifelong experience as the background, and there are naturally more hills and valleys in her chest.

On the way home, Qingling sat in the carriage, thinking about what he had encountered today, and told Wanxin not to mention this matter to anyone in the future. But I can't get rid of the lonely and lonely back standing on the bow of the boat in my heart, his identity is already clear, and the more I feel sad because of his depression. Sure enough, in response to that sentence, the height is unbearable.

The two got out of the car outside the Fudi Hutong and went around to the back door, the back door was hidden, and the little guy guarding the door had already taken Qingling's reward and quietly let the two in.

Only then did the two freshen up and change back into women's clothes, and Wang's personal big girl Zijuan came to pass the word and asked Qingling to go to Mrs. Tai's room for dinner.

Because Mrs. Tai came back from the old garden for a few days, Wang temporarily put away the spicy pie and served three meals a day in person. Today, the Wang family sent the Qingling dowry list for the old lady to decide, no matter how her daughter-in-law tossed, the Jiang family's family foundation Mrs. Tai still has a number in her heart, and the silver items listed on the list are very rich.

Wang's attitude towards Qingling on weekdays is too much for Mrs. Tai to know, logically speaking, Wang is unwilling to pay any more money to add makeup to Qingling, is Wang changing his temperament, or is he doing something moth?

Mrs. Tai remained silent, didn't say good, didn't say bad, just teased the yellow-billed parrot in the cage, and waited to see, it was the fox that always showed its tail.

When Qingling entered, Wang was making vegetables, and Mrs. Tai was teasing the parrot on the side. Qingling asked for peace, held Mrs. Tai's arm, and said with a smile, "Grandmother, this parrot with a yellow beak lined with a green tail is really beautiful." ”

Mrs. Tai dropped the corn in her hand, her eyes still rested on the parrot's colored feathers, and said lightly, "Grandmother is old, and she can't see anything good or bad." Ling'er said okay, then it's all right. ”

Wang happened to set up the dishes and answered, "If the mother thinks it is not good, the daughter-in-law naturally wants to find the best, and she has to satisfy the mother." ”

Qingling's eyes swept over the dowry list on the tea table on the side, and he understood that his grandmother and Wang were talking about their own makeup through the parrot.

Qingling took the face towel in the maid's hand and put it into the copper basin for washing, moistened the face towel, smiled sweetly, and interrupted the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Grandmother, grandson will wipe your hands for you, it's time to eat." ”

Mrs. Tai didn't follow Qingling's words and stretched out her hand, and sat on the chair on the side, "Wen Yuan hasn't come back yet, we are in a hurry to use which family's food, is this how we cook for the children on weekdays, Qingling Qingmo will get married in the future, and the husband has not returned to the house yet, so he will eat first." ”

Although Wang Shi was spicy, after listening to Mrs. Tai's salty and non-salty words, it was obvious that he had given someone a handle, and said a word of his mother's lesson, so he didn't dare to reply again, so he stood aside with his head bowed, and the maid retreated with a bowl in silence.

Wang's obedient appearance, Mrs. Tai was still quite satisfied, and raised her sagging eyelids, "While Wen Yuan hasn't come back yet, Brother Qiong'er, come and sit down, and talk about Ling'er's makeup." ”

Wang didn't dare to show the list to his mother-in-law, let alone sit down, took two steps closer, and returned all the items on the dowry list.

At first, Mrs. Tai just listened, but then Wang Shi talked about the two gardens that were added to the dowry later, and raised her eyes to look at Wang.

Wang Shi hurriedly stopped his voice and said with a smile, "Mother also knows, life has been tight in the past few years, but no matter how tight it is, you can't lose the face of the master and lose Ling'er." ”

Mrs. Tai understands that only the income of these two gardens is the most money in the house, supporting the expenses of the house, if she relies on Wen Yuan's meager income, I am afraid that Brother Qiong'er's teachers will not be able to afford it. But she felt that something was wrong, the Wang family had always been close and distant, and they didn't want to see Qingling, how could they be willing to set aside the two gardens.

"The two gardens in Xiling have been given to Ling'er, where will Brother Qiong'er get the money to ask the teacher in the future? Just thinking about his own face, what will be used to make up for the expenses of the government in the future? Besides, the two gardens were given to Ling'er, and in the future, Mo'er will have no garden when she marries, Ling'er will have face when she marries, and Mo'er will not have face if she marries? Mrs. Tai said lightly with a cold face.

Wang didn't know what to think, so he replied with a smile, "Mother doesn't know, the Xu family is different now, Xu Shilang is promoted to the ministry, and the promotion and transfer of officials in the imperial court will go through his hands, and the Jiang Mansion will only give one more garden." ”

Mrs. Tai touched her white and tender fingers, and she didn't look at Wang's with her eyes, and still said lightly, "I know what your idea is, it's nothing more than to use Xu Shilang to find a good errand for Wen Yuan, although I don't know how Xu Shilang is a person, but he can be promoted to the third rank safe and sound in the Enke case, and he is naturally not the kind of person who sees the wind and fills his own pockets in the rudder." Today's saints are highly talented, no matter how well you play your abacus, you are afraid that you will be disappointed. ”

Wang still did not give up, "Although Ling'er is in the main room in the past, there are still four-room aunts in the Shilang Mansion, there are really a lot of places to use money, and you have to take care of it everywhere, and if you don't get anywhere, you will accumulate grievances, according to your mother's meaning, it is better to take back a garden in Xiling, and then give the old garden to Ling'er, mother, do you think it's good?" ”

Mrs. Tai has been living in the old garden, according to Wang's statement to draw out the old garden, it is simply to sweep the old lady out of the door, Qingling was afraid that his grandmother would be angry, so he secretly looked at his grandmother's expression, walked behind his grandmother, and gently beat his grandmother's back.

Mrs. Tai's expression was flat, as if she didn't hear Wang's thoughts, she turned the green grandmother on her thumb and said, "Confused, the old garden is the ancestral business of the Jiang Mansion, and it is to be left to Brother Qiong, and it must not be moved." Is that what you're doing? If you want to be so selfish again, you might as well let Aunt Liu help you make up your mind about the affairs of the house in the future. If the Shilang Mansion only values the dowry, he can withdraw from the marriage and marry again. ”

After a while, Wang was accused by her mother-in-law several times, and she was annoyed in her heart why her mother-in-law had to meddle in the affairs of the house as soon as she came back, but she couldn't understand that Mrs. Tai's excellence was that she acted impartially and fairly, and others naturally couldn't say what was wrong.

Mrs. Tai turned her head and looked at Qingling lovingly, "Ling'er, since your mother can't say anything, grandmother will listen to you." ”

Qingling didn't expect her grandmother to ask her, so she thought about it and said, "Back to grandmother's words, Brother Qiong'er's study is a major event in the family, Ling'er knows that the family has a big business, and silver must be used everywhere, so don't spend more silver on Ling'er, as for Ling'er's dowry, as long as it is not biased, Ling'er wants to leave the two gardens in Xiling to the family, one for Mo'er to make a dowry, and one for Brother Qiong'er to study." ”

Mrs. Tai's eyes narrowed, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded, "It's still Ling'er's thoughtfulness, just do it according to Ling'er's wishes." ”

Wang's face was very ugly, although her mother-in-law saved her face in front of Qingling and didn't say anything serious, but she was not comfortable in her heart, she was afraid that her mind would be seen through by her mother-in-law, so she decided to respond for the time being, and then think of other ways, so she obediently responded yes.

Qingling was puzzled in his heart, the Wang family didn't want to see him, he should deduct the dowry in every possible way, why did he do the opposite, and insisted on giving her the best? She couldn't figure it out for a while, but her grandmother must have been able to guess a thing or two.

Mrs. Tai looked light, took a sip of tea, and just as Jiang Wenyuan stepped into the room, the family began to eat.

With a smile in his eyes and a soft speech, Jiang Wenyuan kept serving vegetables to his mother and children, and told jokes from time to time to amuse them. Mrs. Tai lovingly watched her children and grandchildren eat, and she was a joyful image of filial piety and virtuous wives. Mrs. Tai is also happy to have her children and grandchildren around her knees and enjoy this family fun.

Jiang Wenyuan talked about the first bloom of chrysanthemums in the Eastern Dynasty Gate, Mrs. Tai was interested, and Qingling was happy to see her grandmother, and promised to accompany her grandmother to enjoy the chrysanthemums on the second day.

After eating, Mrs. Tai had to rest early, Qingling served her grandmother to wash and sleep, and the grandparents talked for a while, and no one mentioned Wang's abnormality.

Qingling came out of Mrs. Tai, and when she went back to her room, she was stopped by her sister Qingmo. Qing Mo is only one year younger than her, and the two are not close on weekdays, one grew up under the knees of his grandmother in Xiling Old Garden, and the other was loved by the Wang family in Jiang Mansion, and the two were very rusty because they had not been together for a long time.

Qingling thought that he would get married in a few days, and the days when he could see his sister in the future were even rarer, although they were not born by a mother, the sisters always had their father's blood flowing in their bodies, and the blood relationship was even stronger at this time, Qingling gave birth to a trace of nostalgia in his heart, and affectionately held Qingmo's delicate little hand.

Wanxin, who was following alongside, felt that Qing Mo's expression was wrong, the second miss was arrogant, but not like Qingling, she thought that the second miss would unceremoniously shake off Qingling's hand, who knew that Qing Mo instead clenched her sister tightly, her eyes moved, and the twilight covered the disdain and arrogance in her eyes, the corners of her mouth raised, and she called her sister affectionately.

"Qing Mo, is there something wrong?" Qingling asked softly.

Qing Mo didn't answer, a string of tears flowed from his eyes, and he choked and muttered to his sister. Because of the tears, there is a touch of red in the beautiful big eyes, and the delicate little face is like a pear blossom with rain, which is very pitiful.

"Why are you crying? What's wrong? Tell my sister. Qingling took out the silk handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on Qing Mo's cheeks.
