CHAPTER XXIII

Jiang Qinyuan opened his mouth to say something, and finally looked at the children standing below, his tone changed a little, and said to the two daughters: "Jing'er, Shu'er, your grandmother died, you should take care of Minwei more when you go to the old mansion, don't let people bully her." ”

Jiang Minjing and Jiang Minshu, who was standing beside her, nodded very obediently, and Jiang Minshu said a little happily: "I haven't seen Sister Wei'er much, I will often go to play with her when I come back this time, don't worry, Daddy." ”

Jiang Qinyuan's anger was originally a little high, but after hearing his little daughter's delicate voice, he had faded a lot, especially after seeing his gentle and calm son, as well as the generous and sensible eldest daughter, and the well-behaved and lovely little daughter, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to his wife, he had been stationed at the border for many years, and he had been with his wife for a few years, and he hadn't seen her for a few years, and it seemed that she had lost some weight.

When he had a big quarrel with his mother, he joined the army at the border with his will, met his father-in-law who was a general, and was valued by his father-in-law, so he was promoted to general Xuanwu little by little.

When they finally got married, the wife was left in the clan, and it was not until the children were born one after another that the mother finally accepted her, but even so, their husband and wife still got together less and left more, and although the children would travel thousands of miles to the border to meet with them every year, the wife could not always go together.

"Okay, it's okay, you all go down, Yamei, you stay and talk to me." Yamei is the name of the Qin family, Jiang Qinyuan rarely calls her like this in front of people on weekdays, the Qin family suddenly heard her husband call herself like this, and was stunned for a moment, before she came back to her senses and waved her hand to the children, Jiang Minxing and a few people knew that their parents had something to say when they saw this, so they bowed and retreated.

"Yamei, you've worked hard for you all these years, Min Xing them, you are well educated." Jiang Qinyuan's voice was full of emotion and relief, Qin's hand was suddenly held by her husband, she thought that her husband was going to say something, and she didn't want him to open his mouth, it was such a sentence.

Qin Shi seemed to look at Jiang Qinyuan a little shyly, and said with a gentle smile: "This is what I should do." ”

Jiang Qinyuan pondered for a long time before he spoke again: "When my mother's funeral is over, I will go back to the border pass, the border pass has not been quiet recently, I can't leave for too long, the family will rely on you, Min Xing and Jing'er are not small, you look at what people are there first, and when the filial piety period is over, it will be settled." While listening to Jiang Qinyuan talk about the arrangement of family affairs, the Qin family walked around behind Jiang Qinyuan and kneaded Jiang Qinyuan's shoulders lightly.

Maybe it was because Qin's kneading strength was just right, Jiang Qinyuan's stiff body relaxed a little, and his eyes were also a little sleepy, Qin's seeing this, called someone to help Jiang Qinyuan to the inner room, and after placing Jiang Qinyuan, Qin went to Jiang Minjing's sister's boudoir, and carefully instructed the two of them to take care of Mo and Minwei in the old lady's mourning hall tomorrow before they put their minds at ease and take care of family affairs.

Not to mention how the Qin family entrusted Jiang Minjing's sisters, in Jiang Qinhan's house, Jiang Qinhan was carefully currying favor with the Yao family, but the Yao family was still taking care of himself and wiping his tears on the side, Jiang Qinhan said all the good things, and flattered him, but he didn't get a smile from Yao, but Jiang Qinhan didn't feel angry at all, but was more cautious.

"What happened back then, how can I be blamed, it's not that I don't want to wait for you, it's really that you haven't passed the exam, my father promised me to someone else, and then you got married, I didn't want to pester you, you had to marry me, I..." Yao's voice was still full of crying, and the innocence and resentment in his tone made Jiang Qinhan feel distressed when he heard it.

"Qinlan, it's all my fault, I should have waited more, it was I who made you a second room, don't worry, I will always find a way to take a break from Mo's, in my heart, you are the lady of the main house, what is Mo's thing, I don't even deserve to lift your shoes." Jiang Qinhan held Yao's hand to wipe his tears with one hand, took the handkerchief embroidered with red plum in Yao's hand, and gently wiped Yao's tears.

Yao's anger didn't seem to disappear, and he tried his best to break free Jiang Qinhan held his hand, and said in a more resentful tone: "You've been saying this for almost ten years, but I'm still a concubine now, and I can't even keep a guard for my mother, you might as well give me a letter of resignation and let me go, it's better to go far away than to be humiliated like now." After speaking, the cry became louder, and tears poured out of his eyes again like pearls with broken threads.

"No, I will never let you go, Qin Lan, my heart, don't you understand? How could you be willing to break my heart like this? Jiang Qinhan hugged Yao's body tightly into his arms as he spoke, and Yao seemed to cry even more sadly, and kept beating Jiang Qinhan.

"Qinlan, Qinlan, don't be angry, I'll take you to the mourning hall tomorrow to keep a wake for your mother, I see who dares to stop me, you are my Jiang Qinhan's upright wife, even if that dead girl is my daughter, but how can it compare to our Ting'er and Yan'er, in my heart, there is only you, really."

At this time, Jiang Qinhan was indifferent to his brother and his wife and daughter, and the love words that came out of his mouth were full of tenderness, and the expression on his face and the look in his eyes fully expressed his deep love for Yao.

Yao finally stopped crying and showed a smile instead under Jiang Qinhan's repeated reassurance and swearing, while Jiang Qinhan still hugged Yao tightly and kept saying good things.

Naturally, no one heard Jiang Qinhan and Yao's words again, and in the small courtyard close to Jiang Qinhan's house, after Mo took Min Wei and Lan's mother back to the small courtyard, he left the two of them and locked himself in the room, Min Wei stood outside the door, only to hear the sound of whimpering inside.

Min Wei listened to the voice in the room, but she sighed secretly in her heart: Born in this era, she can't be as tough as the old lady, nor can she be as cowardly and indisputable as the Mo family, and she has to survive in this era after all, as the descendant of such a big family, her future will be like all women who marry for the sake of the family, and she is destined not to choose plain.

But then Min Wei thought about it again, even if it was a marriage, as long as she didn't have too much hope, then she would definitely be able to make herself live well, and her other skills were not strong, but being at peace with the situation was a rare advantage for herself, saying that Min Wei still liked the life of an old lady, although she was a little strong, but it was better than the desolation of the Mo family, but all the peace of the Jiang family's seven rooms, I am afraid that it will not exist with the death of the old lady.
