Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Don't Know the Rules
In fact, Jiang's body has "improved" a lot today, thanks to Wang's mother by her side to remind her that if she continues to be "sick" like this, I am afraid that it will be a big deal.
Although the general has spent the night at the second aunt's place in the past few days, it is also because he said that his wife is unwell, so that she can recuperate, and he will send someone to ask Hou every day.
If it weren't for Jiang's obstruction, in fact, the second aunt and the second lady were also ready to go to Mrs. every day to serve tea and water, and ask for warmth. The most hateful thing is that the lady just refused angrily but meaningfully, and the mother and daughter took it seriously, as if they were happy or something, and really never came to look at it again.
If this continues, I am afraid that the people in the entire house will only know that there is a second aunt and forget about Mrs.
Early in the morning, the subordinates of Liufuju went to the front yard to talk to the general, and the lady's body was still recovering, thanks to the general's care and concern, after a while, the lady would personally come to greet the general.
Between the words, there was no mention of the second aunt at all, and it seemed that she had forgotten that today was a good day for the second aunt.
said that he was coming to ask for peace, but at this hour, the deliberately belated dawn and Sikong Xizhao had already arrived, and the banquet was about to start, but the Jiang family still hadn't appeared yet.
Sikong Liang is not a good-tempered person, and there is no rule in him, so with a wave of his hand, he immediately ordered to go down and prepare for the banquet.
The banquet was held in the main hall, although there were only a few people, after all, it was the general's attention, so the people were also respectful, and prepared a large table of delicacies.
When Jiang Shi got up early in the morning, she had already lost her temper once, and before leaving, she changed her clothes several times, and by the time she arrived in a hurry, everyone was already seated. The second aunt sat next to Sikong Liang, and the two children, Sunset and Dawn, sat on the other side of the lower head. Several people were talking and laughing together, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy.
I don't know what Dawn said, Sikong Liang nodded again and again, with a smile on his face. He looked very happy. The generals on weekdays are all majestic and solemn, who has ever seen him look like such a kind and loving father?
And Sikong Dawn is also smiling at the corner of his mouth and his eyes are soft, and Xizhao is also laughing next to him, looking at it from a distance, it is a family harmony, warm and peaceful look. But such a perfect family harmony does not include her, the wife of the main house......
Seeing this scene, the anger in Jiang's heart was burning, and the whole person was about to steam.
Jiang is also dressed up very beautiful and fresh today, she is wearing a big red dress representing the main room, the skirt is embroidered with a peony pattern, and she wears a one-color inlaid treasure golden hairpin on her head, and the hairpin head is for the two immortals of Hehuan, symbolizing the harmony of husband and wife. Happiness is boundless, so it looks round and jade, rich and compelling, but if no one appreciates such wealth, what is the use?
Holding back the great grief and indignation in his heart, Jiang Shi first greeted Sikong Liang with a smile on his face, and then Shi Shiran sat down on the tail of his deliberately empty hand.
It wasn't until the Jiang family came and sat down that Sikong Chenxi finally arrived, but it happened that Sikong Liang sat on the left and right with his wife and aunt. The next one is dawn and sunset, and she can only sit down in the last position.
Dawn got up, smiled and greeted Jiang's family, and the sunset also lowered his eyebrows. followed by bowing her head to say goodbye, and even the second aunt stood up and blessed her body at the Jiang family. Sikong Liang looked at a pair of children with satisfaction, now that he is a wife and concubine and a pair of children, how can such a day not make people feel comfortable?
It's just that he turned his head to look. Sikong Chenxi, who was sitting stiffly on the side and not moving, was more and more dissatisfied. I used to think that this daughter was well-behaved and cute, but now I feel like I've changed a lot? In his heart, he naturally thought that the Jiang family had not been taught well.
The second aunt is now different, but her plain spring clothes also look graceful, and she saluted the Jiang family with a smile on her face, and without waiting for others to say anything, she took the initiative to stand up and stood behind Sikong Liang respectfully.
At least, she didn't want to stand behind Jiang.
Jiang's face was a little ugly, and his cold gaze shuttled between Sikong Liang and the second aunt, but his face was still calm and cold: "Second aunt, originally, you should have come to serve in close quarters, but well, today is your good day, and your husband is now pampering you, let's let you be rude." ”
This means that you can sit down next to your husband.
As soon as the words came out, her face was originally full of shyness, but the second aunt immediately turned white.
Madame's words, ostensibly forgiveness, let the second aunt sit at the same table with them.
In fact, it was a reminder that you made something wrong just now, before the Jiang family came just now, the second aunt sat next to Sikong Liang and sat on the table together.
As a concubine, when the family eats at the same table, they don't have the right to sit down at all. If the mistress is present, she will stand behind her and serve.
Jiang's mouth kept saying that she was favored by her husband, but in fact, she was reminding the second aunt that you are just a concubine, don't be arrogant. is reminding everyone that she is the head of the house, and no matter how favored the second aunt is, she is just a concubine.
As long as there is a place where her general's wife is, the second aunt can only stand aside and wait.
Mo said that it was the second aunt, and Sikong Liang's face also changed greatly, but he was helpless, because what Jiang said was right.
Sikong Liang's face froze, he never thought that the Jiang family would give the second aunt such a look in front of everyone, and couldn't help but say: "Bailan, Madam is right, today is your good day, just sit down next to me." ”
The second aunt Bai Lan glanced at Jiang Shi silently, it was difficult to hide the smugness in her heart in that gaze, and Dawn also lowered her head, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
Whether it is a wife or a concubine, a man's attitude is the most important. Now Sikong Liang has shown his love for his second aunt in front of everyone, and from now on, the people in the house will no longer dare to be contemptuous.
Not only that, Sikong Liang continued to speak: "Bai Lan is also married to me, we are a family, Zhirou, I hope you will be generous and get along with her in the future." Let me say here that if I let me know in the future who is dissatisfied with the small actions in the secret and makes the family uneasy, no matter who it is, I will have to serve the family law. ”
This is the case. Obviously, he is defending the second aunt and giving the Jiang family a dismount! Sikong Chenxi looked up at Sikong Liang, looked at the Jiang family and the second aunt, and Sikong Xiaoxiao who looked calm and just lowered his head to drink tea. Suddenly, I felt distraught, and I couldn't eat anything on a table of sumptuous dishes.
On the large round table inlaid with white jade in rosewood, the eight immortals are carved and painted across the sea, and dozens of white glazed official porcelain plates of various sizes are placed on the tabletop, holding all kinds of delicacies. Then Jiang's mother and daughter just glanced at each other, but they couldn't eat a bite.
Sikong Xiaoxiao didn't seem to see anything, didn't understand anything, still sat there, with a bright smile showing white teeth, she sandwiched a chopstick dish into the second aunt's bowl: "Auntie, today's Babao duck is very fragrant, you can taste it." ”
It is said that it is eight treasure duck, but it is actually made of vegetarian food, because I know that my aunt is a vegetarian all year round and believes in Buddhism. The dishes on this large table, especially the plates placed in front of the second aunt, are all vegetarian dishes.
This is also made by Dawn with great painstaking efforts, since today is the second aunt's birthday, no matter what, we should find a way to make her happy.
Sure enough, the second aunt looked at the dawn, with a satisfied smile on her face, and said, "Well, my aunt knows." You can eat it too. ”
How could she not know the painstaking work of Dawnbreak? I really feel sorry for this daughter who is becoming more and more sensible, she is dragging her down, at a young age, but for the sake of being a mother.
Jiang Shi saw the scene in front of him. I gritted my teeth with hatred in my heart, such a vegetarian fast, even she may not be able to make such a good table, and many times having money may not be able to do things successfully.
The chef of the best vegetarian restaurant in the capital is very arrogant, and he will not easily cook at other people's homes, even if the dignitaries want to eat. You also have to go to his shop and queue up.
I really don't know what means that girl used, she actually invited the master home and worked hard for an aunt who couldn't get on the stage. Jiang was not interested in Su Zhai, but now that he saw the smile on his second aunt's face, he felt that she was showing off, and he was holding back his anger in his heart.
At this time, the second aunt, who originally wanted to help Dawn pick up vegetables, shook her hand and actually dropped the chopsticks to the ground.
The anger in Jiang's heart suddenly rushed up, and he scolded sharply: "Do you still understand the rules, what kind of occasion is this, to make such a rude move?" When you enter the door of the General's Mansion, don't be like those vulgar people, who don't understand etiquette at all. ”
The second aunt was immediately full of grievances, raised her head, and her eyes were already full of tears, so she looked at Sikong Liang with a begging face.
Originally, because of the previous incident, the little tenderness for his wife that was rare to rise dissipated also dissipated, because of the former friendship and the face of the Jiang family, he would hold back.
Unexpectedly, Jiang, who has always been polite, was pretentious, and dared to scold his beloved woman, Sikong Liang suddenly became angry, and scolded: "Shut up, you can shout so much when you eat, I don't understand who is unruly." ”
Jiang Shi was fed up and didn't want to be patient anymore, looking at Sikong Liang, she sneered: "Husband, is this what you call a rule?" One of her concubines is on an equal footing with me, so can't I say a few words out loud? ”
Aunt can only be an aunt forever, he actually, he actually promoted her so much, and wanted to let her take care of the house, which was the most unbearable thing for the Jiang family, so that Bai Lan knew how powerful she was.
Seeing the eyes that Mama Rong projected to herself, the second aunt understood, she took out a handkerchief and sobbed quietly while wiping her tears: "It's all my fault, it's that I don't know how to be polite, I shouldn't sit down, madam, don't be angry with the general again." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly stood up, while crying, he bent down and saluted to Jiang's and said: "Madam, it's all my fault, if there is any fire, you can send it at me, don't be angry with the general, hurt the harmony between your husband and wife." ”
In the past, she was too stupid to understand that many times, tears are actually a woman's best weapon. Showing the weak side appropriately does not mean that this woman is really weak and will be bullied.
Pretending to be weak in front of a man and letting him be a hero gives him a chance to stand out, this is definitely much better than forcing himself to come out.
Jiang Shi glanced at her and snorted coldly: "What, you still feel wronged?" As a concubine, serving the mistress is what you should do, and if you cry, it will be like I am bullying you. ”
"Shut up!" Sikong Liang scolded, his face was very terrifying.
Over the years, he had felt wronged by Bai Lan, but now, he can finally celebrate her birthday at home. It's just that he can't have a big feast in public, and he has to let her be scolded by his mother, so how can he bear it?
The hall suddenly fell silent, and even the second aunt stopped crying quietly, and everyone looked at Sikong Liang in surprise.
Only Jiang Shi suddenly stood up, slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, I'll shut up, can't I stop talking?" ”
said that, she actually asked Wang's mother to help her, turned around and left, without even paying attention to Sikong Liang, and left directly.
It is also true that over the years, the general is not at home, the old lady does not live in the capital, and the entire mansion is dominated by the Jiang family, how could she ever be so angry?
Naturally, it's a bit "ignorant of the rules".
How can there be such a woman, does she take him, the head of the family, in her eyes?
Sikong Liang's face was blue with anger, and when he turned around, he saw his second aunt with a delicate and complaining face, but she was still just looking at him with affection, and her mood was much better.
This is what a good woman looks like, like that Diao woman, who thinks that she is very great when she was born in the Guogong Mansion, arrogant and rude like a peacock with the screen open, it is strange that such a woman and man like it.
"Okay, let's go, it's only right for our family to eat well." As soon as Sikong Liang's words came out, everyone's faces changed greatly.
But the dawn and sunset are okay, continue to eat with eyes and noses, nose and mouth, and adults should not participate in the affairs of the world. Chenxi is different, she is not as heartless as Sunset.
After all, the Jiang family is her mother, and the Jiang family's status in this mansion is also related to her future future, how can she not be worried? After eating a meal, I was embarrassed and uneasy, and I had the heart to chase him out to comfort my mother.
But after all, Sikong Liang is still sitting here, if she also goes along, the rare opportunity to get along with her father will be lost like this, not to mention, their mother and daughter will not have a good impression in the eyes of their father. (To be continued.) )
