Chapter 257: Father's Care
Jiang Huaiping covered the old mother with a quilt and instructed the maid to serve her well before withdrawing from the room.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Ling'er standing behind him, looking at him timidly, and asked timidly, "Father, how is grandma?" ”
Jiang Huaiping's heart warmed, the old lady fainted, except for herself, there was only this daughter who had just recognized her waiting in this room, and no one else was there, it was really ......
"Alas!" Jiang Huaiping sighed lightly, and sighed in his heart.
"Father, what's wrong? Isn't it grandma's illness......"
Seeing the child's crying appearance, Jiang Huaiping touched her head: "It's okay, child, you've worked hard all these years, come, you come with your father." ”
Jiang Huaiping personally took her to Mrs. Jiang's courtyard, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yan'er were eating, Mrs. Jiang glanced back, and saw Jiang Huaiping talking to Ling'er affectionately, she blocked her chest in one breath, turned her head and pretended not to see it, eating her own by herself, Jiang Yan'er also saw it, and saw that her mother's face was not good, and she also pretended not to see it.
Jiang Huaiping took Ling'er to the table and coughed lightly, Mrs. Jiang still ignored it, Jiang Huaiping's face was a little unbearable, so he simply dragged away the chair and let Ling'er sit down, and sat down by himself, the maid next to him still had eyes, and hurriedly sent the dishes and chopsticks.
Jiang Huaiping picked up chopsticks and pinched a few pieces of meat for Ling'er: "Child, come, eat!" ”
Ling'er swallowed her saliva, she hadn't eaten meat properly since she entered the house, since her biological father gave it, then you don't have to be polite, she picked up the chopsticks and gobbled it up for a while, Jiang Huaiping saw her look sour, and gave her meat. Ling'er did not refuse to eat happily.
Seeing that she was gobbling up and smashing her mouth, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yan'er lost their appetite, so they simply put down their chopsticks and stared at her to eat. Ling'er didn't care so much, and ate a big meal until her stomach was round and she couldn't hold it anymore.
Ling'er leaned back in the chair with a burp and looked at Jiang Huaiping timidly with a red face: "Father, I'm ...... I'm full! ”
Jiang Huaiping nodded with a smile, and then said to Mrs. Jiang, "Madam." You see, this child is my long-lost daughter, and now I have finally found it. I hope you treat her well! ”
Mrs. Jiang was angry in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: "There are enough idle meals in the house, another one!" ”
Jiang Huaiping lowered his face: "What?" This backyard spends thousands of taels of silver a month, and this child is missing two mouthfuls of food? ”
Mention of silver. Madame Chiang was a little weak-hearted. She pursed her lips: "Well, I won't starve her." ”
"It's not a question of whether I'm hungry or not, my Jiang Huaiping's daughter is naturally the young lady of this Jiang Mansion, Yan'er, you have to call her sister in the future, and you have to be with ...... Xiaobai is easy to get along with, you know? ”
Jiang Yan'er's small mouth was raised high. Turn away from the head and don't speak; Mrs. Jiang's face was not good-looking, and she did not answer.
Jiang Huaiping's eyes walked around several people. said to Mrs. Jiang: "Isn't there a small courtyard next door to Yan'er, you will send someone to vacate that courtyard for Xiaobai to live in later, and arrange a few more appropriate people to take care of Xiaobai." ”
"Father!" Ling'er opened her mouth timidly.
"What's wrong?"
"Father, I ...... Can I choose my own maid? Jiang Yan'er stared at her with fiery eyes, Ling'er seemed a little scared, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
Jiang Yan'er laughed: "I'm still a maid, so I want to choose a maid to serve, and my skin is thick enough!" ”
"Yan'er, what did I tell you just now? If you dare to be rude to the eldest sister again, you will go to the courtyard for me to kneel. Jiang Huaiping severely reprimanded Jiang Yan'er, Jiang Yan'er was still a little afraid, shrunk her neck and lowered her head, but she was still muttering something?
Madame Jiang was dissatisfied: "What are you doing so loudly? Yan'er is right, this girl was originally Yan'er's maid, why did she suddenly ...... Even if you identify her identity, you have to give Yan'er some time to get used to it, don't you? ”
Jiang Huaiping was right to think about it, glanced at Jiang Yan'er and didn't say more, turned back to Ling'er and said: "Xiaobai, if you want to pick your own maid, you can go around Ming'er by yourself, as long as it's in our house, you can pick whichever you want, and tell your mother when you're done, you know?" ”
Ling'er hurriedly got up and thanked Jiang Huaiping and Mrs. Jiang obediently, Mrs. Jiang wanted to make it difficult, seeing that she was so obedient, she couldn't find any reason to block her, so that's it for the time being.
Jiang Huaiping sat and didn't leave, and he didn't feel at ease until he saw Mrs. Jiang send someone to clean up the yard and give Ling'er some clothes, fabrics, gold and silver jewelry. Mrs. Jiang didn't want to give it, Jiang Huaiping watched from the sidelines, and she had to give it.
Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth, just give it, anyway, she can still find a chance to take it back, and it is good to be generous in front of the master to make him happy, lest he not enter the door for ten days and half a month, he will definitely be able to stay tonight.
When the yard was cleaned up, Mrs. Jiang enthusiastically asked the eldest girl Lihua, who was serving her closely, to send Ling'er over in person.
Jiang Huaiping saw that things were almost done, stood up, and Mrs. Jiang quickly stood up and leaned over: "Master, look at you, you've been busy, and you don't know how to change your clothes if you're messy, come, the concubine will wait for you to change your clothes." ”
That night, Jiang Huaiping really rested at Mrs. Jiang's place.
Ling'er's new yard is not big, there are only five rooms, and there is only one mother-in-law who cleans the door. Whew~~~~ After a month of suffering, I can finally sleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, Ling'er picked out a dress given by Mrs. Jiang last night and put it on, it can be seen that this dress was worn by someone else, but it is better than the maid's dress.
After Ling'er put it on, she rushed to Mrs. Jiang to ask for peace, just as Mrs. Jiang and Master Jiang were eating, Master Jiang saw that she had changed her clothes, but it didn't fit well, and frowned slightly: "Madam, you will call the tailor later, make a few clothes for Xiaobai, our Miss Jiang Mansion can't go out too coldly, and no matter how bad the life is, you can't lose your children." ”
Mrs. Jiang's originally good mood was suddenly overshadowed, she glanced at Ling'er secretly, and said with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, master, I originally planned to do so, this breakfast hasn't been used up yet, and it's not too late!" ”
Master Jiang nodded and looked at Ling'er: "Child, have you used breakfast?" ”
Ling'er said honestly no, Master Jiang naturally asked Ling'er to eat with a table, looking at Ling'er's eating appearance, Mrs. Jiang's mood was even worse, but because she had just reconciled with Master Jiang, it was not good to have a seizure, so she had to sit on the side with a smiling face.
Mrs. Jiang's face Ling'er didn't see it, she remembered the sins she suffered that month, wouldn't it be a loss if she didn't ask for something to come back? The more she doesn't want to see herself, the more she has to shake in front of her, and she has to block her and make her uncomfortable.
Seeing that Master Jiang was almost finished, Ling'er also hurriedly put down his chopsticks: "Father, is it true that you promised me that I could choose my own maid?" (To be continued......)
