Chapter 57: The First Beauty

The cuckoo cried out for injustice and begged for mercy continuously.

Jiang Shi just looked at it coldly without saying a word, Sikong Chenxi hurriedly stepped forward to help the cuckoo, and then smiled at Jiang Shi: "Mother, Cuckoo has served you for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, don't say these scaring words." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the cuckoo.

Wang's mother also hurriedly stepped forward to help say good things, and the cuckoo cleaned up the mess and bowed out. I retreated to the outside room before patting my chest and breathing a sigh of relief.

Madame worked hard to ensure that the eldest lady and the third young master could have a good future in the future, and finally, the eldest lady also began to be sensible, and Madame was naturally happy. She deliberately begged for mercy just now, just to let the eldest lady behave more in front of her wife.

Madame will be happy to know that she understands things, and she will definitely use it again in the future. Looking at Jiang's appearance, she understood that Madame had something to say to the eldest lady, and it must be a more private word, but after the cuckoo went out, she didn't go far, and after putting down the curtain, she obediently guarded the gate.

In the room, Sikong Chenxi waited carefully, brought another cup of ginseng tea for Jiang to drink, and then asked cautiously: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Outside, she was also the same as the dawn and sunset, calling Jiang's mother; Only the most secret and uninhabited private will call her mother. Mother and mother are two completely different titles, which shows the true intimacy of the relationship between the person being called and her.

Wang's mother also showed a trace of worry on her face, and said for Jiang: "Madame has received a letter from the old lady, and the old lady said that she brought several young masters and young ladies from the eldest master's family to Beijing to celebrate the queen mother's birthday. It's already set off and will arrive soon. ”

"How is it possible, didn't my grandmother always dislike the bustling and lively city of Kyoto, and my father and mother sent people to invite me countless times in the past, but never came to Beijing?" Dawn's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, my father would take them back to their hometown to pay New Year's greetings and worship their ancestors, and Chenxi was very impressed by her grandmother Shi and those cousins and sisters.

Vaguely, there was uneasiness in my heart, and I always felt that when they came, the seemingly peaceful life of the general's mansion was going to change a lot.

"Hmph, that old thing, who has been given an edict for so many years, never thought of entering the palace to greet the Queen Mother and the Queen. This time, she suddenly said that she was going to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, who knows what kind of ghost she is doing. Jiang Shi sneered, the contempt in his eyes was so obvious.

This is not consistent with her usual image of a graceful and generous general's wife, on the side, Mother Wang and Chenxi glanced at each other, and they could see the meaning of caution and disapproval in each other's eyes.

Chenxi immediately sighed: "Mother, how can you say that? Grandmother came to Beijing, you and your father should be very happy, good life is hospitality. ”

When Jiang heard this, his daughter had something to say, isn't that really the case? No matter what happened to the Shi family, he only entered Beijing to live temporarily, and he was their guest. As long as she continues to do a good job of saving face and greets the Shi family, the old woman will naturally leave with that group of people after that.

This general's mansion is still her world.

is still sensible, even in the inner courtyard of this deep house, he can't relax, and he must be cautious all the time.

patted Chenxi's little hand, Jiang's face showed a bit of relief, "Chenxi, you are really old, and you are becoming more and more sensible." ”

"Yes, the eldest lady is the first beauty in Kyoto, not even in the country, and she is famous for her beauty and wisdom." Mother Wang praised with a smile, took the tea bowl from Jiang's hand and put it on the small table on the side, and knelt down to the side to gently knead her thighs and knees.

The weather has not been very good these days, and the lady has to get up early and go to bed late to serve the general, taking care of his injuries, but he has not paid attention to his body and bones, and some old diseases have recurred.

Chenxi smiled embarrassedly, obviously gladly accepting the praise of others, but she still had to be modest in her words: "Mom will make fun of me." ”

Jiang and Wang's mother also laughed, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room was much better.

After Jiang Shi drank ginseng tea, it was early in the morning, but his face was slightly tired.

Last night, she had to help Sikong Liang change the dressing, and in the middle of the night, she got up again to serve him to drink water and get up all night, and then when she was lying in bed, she was in a daze between half dreaming and half waking up, and it can be said that she didn't rest well all night.

It's really unforgiving, after this woman reaches a certain age, her body is not as good as a year. Often there is no rest for one night, and for several days in a row, people will be unrefreshed.

"Chenxi, you are also older, and you have reached the age of kissing, tell you, what kind of family do you want to marry?" Jiang Shi said half-sarcastically and half-seriously: "When my mother was your age, she was already married to your father. You are the first beauty, and my mother will definitely choose a good family for you to marry. ”

This so-called good family is really going to take a lot of pains. Jiang really loves this daughter and hopes that she will be happy in the future. The lintels of Sikong's family and Jiang's family are already very high, she doesn't want to make a fuss about her daughter's marriage, and she sincerely plans for Sikong Chenxi.

can't be too high, according to the current power of the general in the court, if you cling to the powerful, you can only marry into the royal family. But Jiang was unwilling, which was the main reason why she rejected the prince's proposal before.

Even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, Chenxi can follow him into the palace and become a concubine, so what? As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, the life of those lonely women in the deep palace, even if they are queens, there is not much fun to speak of.

I'd rather marry someone who loves herself than marry someone she loves, Jiang also thought about this very clearly, thinking that at the beginning, she bothered to fight for it herself, and finally was able to marry Sikong Liang and become the wife of a general.

Outsiders all say that Sikong Liang is very good to her, there is only one aunt in the house, and there is no need to serve her in-laws, and only the Jiang family takes care of the general's mansion.

But only Jiang knows in his heart that Sikong Liang is not at home all the year round, even if he comes back, he may not be with her, she spends most of the year alone in the empty room. looks majestic in the outside of the house, but in fact it is real, what is the difference between it and the second aunt who worships the Buddha all the year round?

It's not okay to marry low, Chenxi is her baby daughter, and her future life is bright and infinite, and she can't marry a useless man and suffer hardships. Therefore, since Chenxi was ten years old, the Jiang family has been selected among the noble children in the entire Kyoto, and they are bent on finding a master to make their baby daughter happy in the future.

It's just that this is still really difficult to do, and for several years, Jiang Shi has no suitable candidate in his heart.

"Mother," at this moment, Chenxi was even more shy, and her blushing was not much different from the big apple, "You are also with your mother,

Make fun of me. ”

"Silly girl, only you are my daughter, I will let you marry happily."

"Mother, don't say that, Dawn is also your child, everyone outside is saying that the general's wife is tolerant and generous, and she can treat a child born to a concubine so well." As he spoke, a cold light suddenly appeared in Sikong Xiaoxiao's eyes.

To be honest, she has mixed feelings about this sister.
