Chapter 258: Can You Give Me a Feast for My Eyes?
After Jian Ying stepped forward to salute, Second Mrs. Jian took her hand affectionately and looked at her carefully, "Well, this belly finally looks a little pregnant, it seems that you have been recuperating well for a while." ”
Jian Ying smiled, "This is all the credit of Jiang's mother, even Imperial Doctor Gao has praised Jiang's mother's fine cooking, which is the most supportive." ”
After she said this, Jiang Ma immediately felt that Mrs. Jian Si's sharp and prickly gaze fell on her, and she lowered her head, but Quan Dang didn't notice it.
Second Mrs. Jian knew that Mrs. Jian wanted to give Mother Jiang's family to Jian Lan as a companion, because Jian Ying refused to let go of Mother Jiang, and she was full of anger. At this time, seeing her showing an evil face in front of Mrs. Fang's mother and daughter, she glanced at her warningly, and then changed the topic, "Why are you free to come over today?" ”
"I was going to come back in a few days." Jian Ying replied with a smile, "Imperial Doctor Gao temporarily decided to go out to meet friends today, and the second young master was able to suspend classes and rest for a day. I remembered that I hadn't visited my two uncles and father for a long time, so I discussed with me and took advantage of this free time to come and take a trip. ”
Mrs. Jian Si was a little surprised, "Second Shao...... Uncle is here too? ”
Jian Lan's eyes flashed slightly, and she quietly clenched her fists.
"yes." Jian Ying smiled at Mrs. Jian's fourth, then turned to Mrs. Jian's second and joked, "I'm thinking about my own mother's family, why bother to deliver the greetings in advance, isn't this just coming over?"
Who knows, but he was disliked by the second aunt. ”
Second Mrs. Jian slapped her lightly on the back of her hand, "Who dislikes you?" Just know nonsense. If you want, you can do it every day. If you just stay, our Jian family can't afford to support your mother and son, what's going on? ”
The corners of Jian Ying's lips curled, "I don't care, I'm afraid that the second young master is unwilling." ”
Second Mrs. Jian scolded: "You are not ashamed, you are embarrassed to say anything, and you are not afraid of Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang's jokes." ”
Mrs. Fang put down the teacup in her hand, and said with a smile: "The second young master and the second young lady have a deep love for flounder, and others only have envy, how can there be any reason for jokes?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Jian Siji's smiling face stopped sinking again. Jian Lan's face did not change. I just squeezed the handkerchief in my hand tighter.
This time it's not just Mrs. Jian. Even Fang Yiyun sensed that Fang Yiyun's aura was wrong, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at the two of them.
Jian Ying acted as if she was unconscious, exchanged a few polite words with Mrs. Fang, and then sat down next to Mrs. Jian Si. Ask her if she has been tired of preparing for her marriage recently. The concern is palpable.
Mrs. Jian Si pretended to be loving and played with her. But in his heart, he hated her so much that he couldn't push her away.
Jian Lan was afraid that she would be ignored, so she interjected a sentence or two at the right time. In order to show that his status in the Jian family is not a few points lower than Jian Ying.
It's just a pity that Mrs. Fang witnessed her and Miao Shao rolling on the same bed, no matter how much she whitewashed and raised herself, it was difficult to reverse her image.
Fang Yiyun didn't know about Jian Lan's ugly things, and she was not the kind of person who liked to be treated differently by her concubines, but she had dealt with frank people like Jian Ying and Zhou Qin a lot, and she didn't like her deliberate and clever attitude, and she didn't bother to think about the deep meaning of her words and deeds.
After gossiping for a while, Second Mrs. Jian enthusiastically kept the Fang family's mother and daughter to have dinner at noon at home.
Mrs. Fang just came to do her best and didn't plan to stay too long, just as she was about to refuse, Fang Yiyun opened her mouth first, "I heard that the needlework room of your mansion has recently figured out a kind of double cross embroidery pattern, which is very novel, I wonder if it can give me a feast for my eyes?" ”
It sounds like a word that doesn't matter, but it really reveals the meaning of wanting to stay.
"Of course, of course." Second Mrs. Jian laughed and said, "It's just a superficial skill that the subordinates have nothing to do, if Miss Fang is interested, I will ask someone to take you over." ”
Fang Yiyun thanked him, and looked at Mrs. Fang inquiringly.
Mrs. Fang only wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Mrs. Jian, so she naturally wanted to fulfill her daughter's wishes, "Then our mother and daughter will be bothered." ”
Second Mrs. Jian smiled and waved her hand, "My nephew's happy event is approaching, and there are distinguished guests who come to congratulate her every day, and the banquet is always prepared, so why bother?" Besides, we didn't treat Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang as outsiders, it just so happened that Xiao Liu'er was also there, so let's just have a light meal together.
Mrs. Fang doesn't have to be polite! ”
After a pause, he instructed his personal big girl, "Invite the seventh girl to come over and accompany Miss Fang to the needlework room." ”
As the bride, Jian Lan naturally wanted to stay with Mrs. Jian Si to entertain the guests who came to add makeup. Among the remaining daughters to be married, the eldest is too young, and only the seventh girl in the third room is the oldest, and she is the most suitable for hospitality.
Mrs. Fang knew the situation of the Jian family, and she didn't feel that Second Mrs. Jian had neglected her daughter, so she whispered a few words to Fang Yiyun and let her go.
The rest of the people drank tea and laughed, during which people came to add makeup one after another, and the second Mrs. Jian kept the meal as usual, some responded, and some refused to resign. When it was close to noon, Jian Zhuohua, like Jian Ying, led Sister Tong over without prior notice.
Because Jian Zhuohua intended to give Sister Tong to the sixth brother in the third room, she ran to her mother's house every three or five times, often staying for a day, and the second and fourth Mrs. Jian didn't take the two of them as the same thing, but Jian Lan was uncomfortable.
When she was in the capital, the relatives here in Jinan Mansion, the person she saw the most was Jian Zhuohua. At the beginning of returning to Jane's house, she secretly expected Jian Zhuohua to recognize her, and then make a big fuss about the fact that the Jian family changed daughters and got married.
The Jian family can dispose of her at will, but they can't dispose of her aunt and grandmother who thinks she is married and has deep roots in her in-law's family. When the time comes, she can fish in troubled waters and get her identity back as a concubine.
I don't know if it's because I heard too much of Jian Ying's voice and had a preconceived idea, or if I subconsciously thought that the two nieces and nephews with similar appearances had similar voices, she said some things she used to say in front of Jian Zhuohua several times, but her aunt didn't react.
is even more disdainful of her because of Qixia Xiaozhu's matter, and every time he sees her, he is cold and undisguised his contempt.
Jian Kangzhou heard her voice questioning, but after being coaxed by the adults for a few words, he believed it. She also didn't think about using Jian Kangzhou, how much wind and waves can a ten-year-old child stir up? Besides, several masters and wives of the Jian family are all smart people, and they have taken her and Jian Kangzhou close to each other early on, and she has no chance to plan at all.
Second Master Jian had clearly warned her not to try to get back the identity of her concubine, otherwise she wouldn't even have to marry the Marquis of Taiyuan, and directly sent her to the gate and let her fend for herself.
She didn't want to make her situation worse!
After a while, Mrs. Jian sent someone to inform her, saying that the wine and food were ready and ready to be seated, and Mrs. Jian Second and Mrs. Jian Fourth led everyone to the flower hall where the banquet was held.
The tables were seated, the food and wine were all served, and everyone ate with a smile.
Jian Ying's face changed as soon as she took a bite, and she hurriedly confessed and asked Jiang's mother to help her leave the table.
