Chapter 143
Nearly a month after the ancestral hall incident, the last day of December came, Jiang Minrui had also recorded Mo's name in the family tree, and since the ancestral hall came out that day, the seventh old lady fell ill, and after that, when Mo went to visit Jiang Minzheng and Jiang Minrong, the twins of Xiao Qi's family, and Jiang Minzhe born to Xiao Lan's family, Minwei did not follow Mo's family, but accompanied the sick seventh old lady in the old mansion.
Although other people in the seventh room have come to see the seventh old lady, most of them were driven away after not staying long, and only Min Wei and the pregnant Bai family were not driven away, although the seventh old lady's illness has not been very good, but when it comes to the annual reunion banquet, the seventh old lady can barely get up and walk around, although the spirit is not too good.
The first time Min Wei saw the three youngest babies of the Min Zi generation, it was at the reunion banquet, because they were brought to the banquet because they were concubines, although Jiang Minrong and Jiang Minzheng said that they were sisters and brothers, but Min Wei couldn't tell who was who the two people were at all, and the only one who could tell the two was Xiao Qi, who was the mother, when Min Wei saw the twins, she would always wonder if the original sixth uncle Jiang Qinnian and her fifth aunt Jiang Qinqian were so similar that only the old lady could tell the difference, but such a thing can only be thought about in my heart, The fifth aunt has been dead for many years, and this question is not suitable for asking at this time.
And Jiang Minzhe, the youngest of the three, is the son of Xiao Lan's family, and he also had a child after more than ten years of marriage, Xiao Lan's luck is obviously much better than Li's, one gave birth to a son, and the other gave birth to a daughter, and the most regrettable thing about this is probably that Li can no longer have children, Minwei couldn't help but glance in the direction where the two were when she thought of this.
When Min Wei heard Lan's mother talk about the Jiang family before, she once mentioned that Xiao Lan's family is the niece of the fifth old lady, so Jiang Qinmian's relationship with Xiao Lan's has always been bad, and now that Xiao Lan's can give birth to a son, it should be that the relationship with Jiang Qinqin has improved, Min Wei looked at the little baby who was sleeping very peacefully in Xiao Lan's arms and was still spitting bubbles, and couldn't help but feel happy for Xiao Lan's from the bottom of her heart, since hearing Jiang's mother say something about Xiao Lan's. Min Wei has always felt that Xiao Lan's family is actually the most innocent one between the fifth old lady and Jiang Qinmi, and now she can have a good result, which is also a happy thing.
And the Li family has long since lost the harshness and unforgiveness that Min Wei saw back then, I don't know if it was the years that smoothed out her spirits or the blow of giving birth to a daughter that made her vitriolity disappear. At this moment, when she was talking to Jiang Mincong, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were much more peaceful, not only Jiang Mincong, but when she was talking to everyone, she was much less harsh than before. The wife of the patriarch of the Li family has finally been unanimously recognized by the whole clan.
Maybe it's because of the newborn, this year's New Year's banquet is no longer as dull as before, and the one who has attracted much attention at this New Year's banquet is the pregnant Bai, Minwei sometimes thinks that the Bai family, which is now in the spotlight, should be self-evident, after all, the elder of the Chengzi generation in her belly, whether it is a man or a woman, is highly anticipated, and everyone should be more looking forward to the boy.
After the reunion banquet, the first month is not yet halfway through. Jiang Qinhan was already preparing to return to the capital, but this time only Jiang Qinhan took Cui'er, who could give birth at any time, and the Mo family wanted to stay in Huangzhou for a while because of Mrs. Mo, and the Yao family was also left by Jiang Qinhan for some reason, Min Wei thought that things would be settled like this, and there would be no more problems, but she didn't expect that a few days before Jiang Qinhan left, the seventh old lady went to the old mansion.
When Min Wei followed the Mo family to the old mansion, Jiang Qinhan and the Qin family had already arrived. And Mo and Min Wei had just saluted the Seventh Old Lady, Jiang Minrui also came, Min Wei looked at it, Qin, Jiang Minshu, and Bai. Jiang Qinhan plus Jiang Minrui, Mo Shi and himself, looking like this, it should be for Jiang Qinhan to leave for the capital in a few days, and sure enough, as soon as Minwei thought about it, the seventh old lady spoke: "I called you here to return to Beijing in a few days." ”
Everyone in the room looked at the Seventh Old Lady. The seventh old lady continued: "I plan to take Min Rui and the fifth child into Beijing this time, saying that there is nothing to do here in the old mansion, and I also want to go to the capital to have a look." After listening to the words of the seventh old lady, Min Wei felt that the black lines on her head were about to pop up, and she secretly said in her heart: Hey, old man, do you run wherever you are messy? At this time, go to the capital to see, what are you going to see?
"Father, your health is not well, will you go to the capital with me" Jiang Qinhan waited until the seventh old lady finished speaking, and then said with some eagerness, originally for the sake of the child in Cui'er's belly, he let the Yao family stay in Huangzhou, and if the seventh old lady went to the capital together, then Cui'er would be nothing, but Jiang Qinhan himself would definitely be more restrained, so from this aspect, Jiang Qinhan did not want the seventh old lady to go to the capital together.
The seventh old lady didn't speak, just looked at Jiang Qinhan, even if the seventh old lady didn't speak, Jiang Qinhan's words became smaller and smaller, and finally he couldn't even speak anymore, and when Jiang Qinhan's voice was finally so small that he couldn't hear it, the seventh old lady spoke again: "I'm okay, I know myself, I don't need you to worry about it, I will let people pack my luggage, you just take me to the capital by the way." ”
Although Jiang Qinhan was very reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he just nodded and said, "I know, father." No matter how invincible Jiang Qinhan is in front of the Mo Clan, it is impossible for him to make obvious unfilial actions in front of the Seventh Old Lady, just like when Min Wei was forced to do so, he didn't dare to do it against Jiang Qinhan openly.
"Okay, that's all I have to say." Min Wei didn't expect that the Seventh Old Lady would call them here just to talk about it, but maybe it was because the Seventh Old Lady was an elder, so no one dared to complain about him openly, at least Min Wei thought so.
The words of the seventh old lady have been finished, but everyone has not left, since the seventh old lady is going to follow Jiang Qinhan to the capital, there are still a few days to leave, and now we have to hurry up to discuss the arrangements on the road, although only three people plus Cui'er will return to Beijing first, but considering that the seventh old lady's health is not too good, so it is still necessary to bring more people, things that will be used on the road, or prepare something or something.
When the matter was discussed, everyone got up and planned to leave, but the seventh old lady spoke first: "The others will go back first, and the fifth will stay with your daughter-in-law, and I still have something to tell you." The crowd that was about to leave stopped. Then the Qin family nodded at the Mo family, and then walked to Min Wei's side and took Min Wei out of the room by the way, Jiang Minrui also followed Qin out of the room after saluting.
When everyone went out, the seventh old lady looked at Jiang Qinhan and said, "Although I have recorded Min Rui in your daughter-in-law's name. changed to a sister-in-law, but I still want to make it clear to you first about some things, Rui'er and Wei'er's future family affairs, you are not allowed to make your own decisions. The words of the seventh old lady made Jiang Qinhan and Mo have different expressions, and Jiang Qinhan's face was a little incredulous. And Mohs was surprised.
Jiang Qinhan didn't know how his father could guess his thoughts, these ideas were also thought out after the seventh old lady suddenly changed Jiang Minrui to the name of the Mo family, Jiang Minrui was recorded in the name of the Mo family, which means that his status has improved, how could Jiang Qinhan let go of such a good opportunity, let Jiang Minrui marry a wife who is conducive to his career, naturally there is no need to worry about no future in the future, Jiang Qinhan originally planned to choose a wife for Jiang Minrui after returning to the capital this time, but now.
"Father, this" Jiang Qinhan really couldn't help but want to say something more. If it is said that the seventh old lady goes to the capital with him, it is nothing, but now even Jiang Minrui's family affairs cannot be decided by him, will it be a little too much, he has always wanted to get ahead one day, be able to be a higher official than his eldest brother, and be able to make these people of the Jiang family dare not say anything about driving themselves out of the clan at will.
"What, what do you want to say?" The Seventh Old Lady's eyes turned to Jiang Qinhan, the reason why he suddenly talked about this matter was actually thanks to his fifth brother, the Seventh Old Lady didn't expect so much. It was only after the seventh old lady mentioned to his fifth brother that he was going to the capital, and the fifth old lady specially reminded the seventh old lady of this matter, and the seventh old lady would tell everyone to follow Jiang Qinhan into Beijing together, and by the way, he also told Jiang Qinhan not to marry Jiang Minrui.
Jiang Qinhan looked at Mo Shi beside him, who was silent and lowered his head. Just shook his head, for the first time in his heart, he felt that his father was too long-lived, and he didn't know if the seventh old lady was aware of these thoughts in Jiang Qinhan's heart, but the seventh old lady just glanced at Jiang Qinhan with a deep meaning, and then waved his hand at the two of them and said, "You all go down, the fifth child has been with me in the old mansion for the past few days." When the time comes, we will start together. ”
Jiang Qinhan was stunned, and then walked out of the room with Mo's, and after Mo's got out of the room, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Qinhan, but just walked straight to the outside of the house, Jiang Qinhan saw Mo's appearance, but swallowed back what he wanted to say, stood in place and watched Mo's leave, and as soon as Mo's came out of the door of the house, he saw Min Wei waiting at the door, with a hint of surprise, and then walked in the direction of Minwei with a smile.
After Mo and Min Wei returned to the main courtyard of the house, Min Wei asked Mo Shi, "What did grandfather say about leaving you behind just now?" Mo didn't hide it, and told Min Wei what the seventh old lady said, Min Wei didn't expect the seventh old lady to do such a thing on purpose, it seems that it was also because Jiang Qinhan leaned towards King Hui, so he cut off some of Jiang Qinhan's thoughts in advance.
A few days later, when Jiang Qinhan returned to Beijing, sure enough, the seventh old lady set off with Jiang Qinhan, and Jiang Minrui and Cui'er left together, and the seventh old lady has been leaving Jiang Qinhan in the old mansion for the past few days, so the relationship between Yao and Jiang Qinhan is much weaker, and on the day Jiang Qinhan left, Yao did not see him off, it seems that there is really a gap with Jiang Qinhan.
After sending away the seven old ladies and a few people, the Mo family didn't bother to pay attention to the open and secret battles between the Yao family and Aunt Xu and Hua Zhi who were still in Huangzhou, and took Min Wei to the Mo family, although he originally thought that he would go to see the old lady Mo after meeting Huangzhou, but because of the sudden decision made by the seventh old lady, and the seventh old lady fell ill again, so he never made the trip, and now he sent away the seven old ladies and a few people, and the Mo family was finally able to take Min Wei to the Mo family.
When Mo took Min Wei to Mo's house, Mrs. Mo was already terminally ill, but when she heard that Mo and Min Wei came to see her, she seemed to be in better spirits, and even sat up from the bed and leaned on the side of the bed, holding Mo's hand with her thin hand, the smile on her face was a little distorted, it should have been affected by the illness, even so, Mrs. Mo's smile still did not fall.
"I heard that the in-laws are not in good health, how can you stay here despite your father-in-law's illness?" Old Madam Mo's voice was a little weak and haggard, but the worry in her tone was not fake, Min Wei could feel that Old Madam Mo really loved Mo in her heart, so she would care about whether it would be bad for Mo to stay alone when she was sick like this.
"Mother, don't worry, it's okay." Mo's voice and expression are also very soft, it seems that she does have some deep feelings for Mrs. Mo, Min Wei's feeling for Mrs. Mo is actually very good, before Mrs. Mo went to the capital, although there seems to be not much contact with Mo's family, but on the birthday of Mo and Min Wei, she will privately prepare a birthday ceremony, Mrs. Mo always seems to have always felt that because her mother's family is a merchant, it will make Mo's life in the Jiang family so difficult, so she will try not to let her mother's family drag Mo's hind legs.
"Although the in-laws are generous, but you must not be too casual, I also want you to accompany me more, but I don't want you to offend my mother-in-law's family for me." After listening to Mo's words, Old Madam Mo still kept chattering about Mo's Dao.
After hearing Old Lady Mo's words, Mo Shi smiled a little more, and said to Old Lady Mo: "Mother, you are not in good health now, so you don't have to worry about these things, just take care of your body." ”
After Mo Shi said this, he felt a little sad in his heart, looking at Mrs. Mo's current appearance, it is probably really time is running out, and Mo's purpose today, in addition to coming to see Mrs. Mo, there are actually other things, although what she wants to do today is not for Mrs. Mo, but if Mrs. Mo knows, she will be very sad in her heart.
