The emperor decreed the construction of the general's mansion, and Sikong Liang sent people many times, and he also went down to the south of the Yangtze River with the Jiang family to welcome his mother-in-law into Beijing.

After all, nominally, Shi is also his mother, and now he is out of business, and taking his mother to live in his mansion is also filial piety for his children.

There is no doubt that the General's Mansion was built in a luxurious, high-profile, beautiful and dignified manner, and Sikong Yi, the sister-in-law of the Sikong family, was only a businessman later, even if he was talented and did a good job in business, he doubled the Sikong family, which was originally only a wealthy man, and became the richest man in Jiangnan in one fell swoop, how can he be compared with the upstart general of the imperial court?

Although Sikong Liang didn't admit it, at this time, he took the old lady into Beijing, in addition to fulfilling the filial piety of his children, he actually wanted to show her: You oppressed me so much back then, and now, my achievements have surpassed your own son?

But Shi is also an arrogant old woman, who refuses to come to Kyoto, enjoys the honor of the general's mother-in-law, and has always lived in the mansion of Jiangnan Sikong Yi.

It just so happens that the Jiang family has been married to Sikong Liang for more than 20 years, and he has never had to serve his mother-in-law in the morning and dusk, and he has always been used to being alone in the general's mansion. That is, she knew that Sikong Liang had a knot in his heart for his mother-in-law, so he did some work on his face, and he didn't have much respect for the Jiang family in the background.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of his status as a concubine and the treatment he has suffered that he will have special love and pity for Sikong Xiaoxiao. Knowing all this, Jiang really couldn't laugh or cry, her poor children.

It just so happened that yesterday when she was accompanying the general in the inner room, someone in the house sent a message that Jiangnan Sikong's family had a letter. It was sent by the old lady Shi, and the Jiang family didn't want to affect the general's mood and destroy the rare warm and good atmosphere between them, so he let Wang's mother accept the letter for the time being.

I only remembered it early this morning, so that's why I asked.

"Madam," after a pause, seeing Jiang's urging eyes, Mother Wang finally had no choice, and told the truth: "The letter was written by the old lady, the old lady meant, coinciding with the Queen Mother's birthday, she is going to go to Beijing to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday." ”

When Sikong Liang became a general, Shi was also named a first-class lady, as a foreign wife, she was indeed qualified to enter the palace in person to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.

Hearing Mother Wang's answer, Jiang's face turned much colder, and he almost sighed: "What the hell is the old lady doing, although she is the general's mother-in-law, she has never had anything to do with us in these years." Rudeness is whether I send someone to pick it up or go in person, she never refuses to enter Beijing. What is the reason for making such a big commotion this time? ”

"The old lady said in the letter that the road was long, so they had already set off on the second day of the letter."

"They?" Suspiciously forgetting the past, obviously, Jiang also heard other meanings in Wang's mother's words.

After looking left and right, even the big maid who was waiting was waiting outside, and Mother Wang stepped forward, silent for a long time, looking at Jiang's increasingly ugly face, after all, she still spoke: "The old lady brought the two girls from the long room and the young master into Beijing together, madam, there is a sentence that the slave doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

Sikong Yi is the long, Sikong Liang is young, so in the General's Mansion, they all call the old lady's side the person in the long room.

"Tell me, what else do you have to taboo with me?" Unconsciously, Jiang frowned.

"As the saying goes, a man should marry a high and a woman should marry low, but whether it is to marry, the best candidate is in Kyoto, right? The children of the eldest master's family are now all married, and the slave maid heard that except for the eldest young master, the other young masters and young ladies have not been married. The old lady entered Beijing this time, but I am afraid that she has other plans. ”

As soon as he said this, the Jiang family understood that if the young masters and young ladies brought by the old lady wanted to find a good family in the capital, they had to be brought by her and introduced to the powerful ladies and ladies.

The lifelong affairs of his own daughter-in-law and concubine have not been resolved, and the Jiang family is very reluctant to give birth to any incidents.

But the old lady wants to come, it is impossible for her to refuse, no matter which dynasty, the emperor rules the world with filial piety, and Shi is her mother-in-law, but I am afraid that after she comes, her life will be much more restrained.

But then I thought that when I took the children back to worship the New Year or worship the ancestors in the past, the Shi family didn't like the arrogant girl of Dawn very much, and the general would not refute his mother-in-law openly. Maybe the old lady is here, and it is not all good for her, but when I think about it, my mood is much better.

"In that case, I will explain this matter to the general, you will clean up the best courtyard in the mansion and arrange it for the old lady to live in, as for the other young masters and young ladies, you will clean up the vacant courtyards in the mansion, and when the time comes, they can choose whatever they like, and see where they like to live."

Fudeju is the best courtyard in the entire General's Mansion, whether it is the location of the environment or the layout, not to mention the warm winter and cool summer, the Jiang family put a lot of effort into arranging it. Of course, the Jiang family, who is good at superficial work, picked up such a courtyard, not for himself to live in, but for the old lady from the beginning.

Over the years, the old lady has been reluctant to come to Beijing, but she herself has never moved into Fudeju, only saying that it was specially reserved for the old lady, but it has won the same reputation.

It's understandable to be interested in the old lady, but for those children in the long house, Mother Wang hesitated, "Madam, after all, they are just the sons of merchants, can they be so good to them?" ”

"Mom, you are an old man next to me, how can you still be so ignorant? They are also the grandchildren of the old lady, and they are also my children, if I am not good to them, who else can I be good to? Jiang said with a smile, leaning lazily on the chaise longue, his spirit was extremely relaxed.

"Yes, yes, what Madame said is, it is the slave who is wrong, and the villain is knowledgeable." Mother Wang immediately understood the Jiang family's intentions, although they were far away in the capital, they were not ignorant of the affairs of Sikong's own family, the temperament of those young masters and young ladies, how to say, was very similar to the second miss and not very friendly, if they were on the same page, would they still need Mrs. to come forward and do anything?

The General's Mansion was afraid that there would be a lively scene, and Mother Wang immediately followed suit with a smile: "Madam, you are so good to the second young lady, and you are naturally kind to other young masters, I-"

He was only halfway through his words, but suddenly the voice of the cuckoo came from his ears: "Madam, the person you sent out has returned." ”

"Coming back?" Jiang Shi sat up straight all of a sudden, and asked seriously, "Why did you come back, didn't you do it before?" ”

Du Juan's face showed some uneasiness, she was the most important lady among the maids, so she naturally understood Jiang's thoughts. I'm afraid that if she says this, she won't be happy.
