Chapter 004: Sweet but not greasy
The mother-in-law guarding the door is chewing her tongue on the melon seeds again:
“…… I heard that the fourth lady smashed the vase and porcelain in the hall, and her face was still black when she left. Hey, what do you think is the one in there who can make Mrs. Fourth angry like that? ”
"How do I know? Do you forget to beat Jiang's mother again? Don't ask, don't talk about ......"
Jian Ying pouted in the room, "Losers." ”
Jiang's mother taught her to distinguish porcelain, and the ornaments in the hall looked inconspicuous, but they were all good objects fired in the official kiln, and the cheapest ones were worth a few taels of silver. Mrs. Jian's way of getting angry is really extravagant, and the rich man is really willful.
Mrs. Jian Si thought about it faster than expected, and at the same time the next day, she slapped five silver tickets with a face value of 10,000 taels in front of Jian Ying, "The reason why we gave out this silver is not because we are afraid of you, but because the master feels that he owes you a lot of money over the years, and he will compensate you."
You'd better not think that you've got our hands on us and can blackmail us endlessly. You remember to me that if the Ji'an Royal Mansion knows the truth, you will be the first to be unlucky. ”
Jian Ying looked at the light and looked at the silver tickets one by one, and then said slowly: "Fourth wife, from now on, we will be grasshoppers on a rope, we will die together, we will jump together, and no one will want to take ourselves out."
I received the performance fee, so naturally I will perform the show well. Please cooperate a little bit, don't always be vicious and put on a late mother's face.
If it's because you messed up the show, I'm not responsible. ”
Mrs. Jian Si choked for a moment, and her face changed red and white. I really didn't want to be alone with her, so I called Jiang's mother to come in and ordered: "In two days, 'Little Liu'er' should come back, take advantage of two days, you spend some effort to adjust ~ teach."
I don't want her to be as proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as Xiao Liu'er, as long as she can get by on the big side, don't lose the face of our Jian family at that time. ”
Jian Ying rolled her eyes secretly, she is not a nursery, from kindergarten to university, she has not become an artistic talent for 19 years, and she wants her to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in two days? What do you talk about in the middle of the day?
Jiang's mother lowered her eyebrows and replied "Yes", "Mrs., don't worry, the slave will definitely be carefully adjusted~ taught." ”
Mrs. Jian Si has always been relieved of Mother Jiang, so she didn't ask too much, got up and walked out.
Jian Ying stood up and said a good fortune in a dignified manner, "Mother, you go slowly." ”
This "mother" is called really skillfully and smoothly, sweet but not greasy.
Mrs. Jian Si stumbled at her feet and turned back in amazement, "You...... What are you calling me? ”
"Isn't it true to call mother?" Jian Ying blinked, "Why don't you change it to a mother, or a mother?" ”
Mrs. Jian Si looked at her sweet and slightly sly smile, and had the illusion that Xiao Liu'er was standing in front of her. A cool air came out of his back inexplicably, and his face turned white with a brush.
"Are you alright, ma'am?" Seeing that her body was shaking, Jiang's mother hurriedly grabbed her and helped her.
Mrs. Jian Si shook her head, dragged her weak legs out, and her eyes were red as soon as she went out, "Mother Jiang, do you say that my little Liu'er will never come back?" ”
Jiang's mother didn't have the courage to assert such a thing, so she had to comfort her euphemistically: "Madam, don't think about it. The sixth lady is blessed with a great life, and she will definitely be fine. ”
Mrs. Jian Si did not feel much relieved by her words, got into the carriage, and went back dejected.
In the next two days, Jiang's mother can be said to be working at full speed to carry out all-round training and education for Jian Ying. From sitting and walking, to sleeping posture, how to hold chopsticks, how to make a handkerchief, and even squatting on the toilet have a set of rules.
I also have to recite the genealogy in the portrait booklet.
When she saw Xiao Liu'er's name, Jian Ying couldn't help but roar from the bottom of her heart, "I'll go!" ”
I thought it was just the same surname, but after a long time, I had the same name and surname. Should she sing a deep song, is it fate or coincidence?
"Girl, you've lost your word." Jiang's mother immediately reminded her.
Jian Yingxin said that you are still lost~ body, opened the portrait booklet, pointed to an old lady with a fierce face and asked, "Who is this?" Why do you look like Aunt Tiger and her Grandmother Wolf? ”
"Girl, you're losing your words again." Jiang's mother reminded her again, and then replied with a straight look, "This old lady from Xifu, her maiden name is Lou, and she was born in Huishang.
The two old ladies married into the Jane family at the same time, and the dowry of the old lady of Xifu was more than twice that of our old lady of Dongfu, and she often turned it out and talked about it to this day. ”
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth were almost invisibly pursed, bringing out two points of disdain.
Jian Ying understood that the old lady of Xifu was full of copper and loved to show off, and she didn't deal with her cheap grandmother.
Turning a few more pages, I saw that the people on it, whether old or young, male or female, had the same expressions and postures, and the more I looked at it, the more boring it became, and I pushed the album, "Jiang's mother, I'm sleepy." ”
"Girl, you're going back to the house tomorrow, and you need to get rid of all the people in the house. When the time comes, the slave can't afford it. Jiang's mother was expressionless and her tone was tough.
Jian Ying squinted at her, "It's because I'm going home tomorrow that I have to go to bed early, do you want me to go to see Jiangdong's father with two panda eyes?" If I don't get enough sleep, you really can't afford it.
Also, can you please stop calling me girl?
As soon as you call the girl, I think of the scene of the old ~ bustard calling someone to pick up customers. ”
Mother Jiang's face twitched twice, and this time she didn't remind her of the gaffe, but changed her words in a kind way, "Miss, the slave and maid count the hours, and they won't delay your rest, so you should remember it again." ”
Jian Ying helplessly held her forehead, and said in her heart that she would change her name and keep pace with the times. Forget it, it seems ungraceful to deal with an old lady, so let's follow the local customs.
still refuses to give in, "Didn't you say that Xiao Liu'er hadn't come back for several years?" As soon as I went up, I recognized all the seven aunts and eight aunts, so it made people feel strange, right? Besides, isn't there still you, I don't recognize you reminding me that it's over? ”
Jiang's mother refused to give in, "The slave may not be able to follow you all the time, so it's better for you to remember a little yourself." ”
Jian Ying talked to her for a long time, and finally lost the battle, and watched it hard for a while before she was served by Jiang's mother and fell asleep.
The next morning he got up, had a hard fight from the inside out, and left the Grange in a thick-curtained carriage. After traveling north along a secluded trade road for about an hour, he turned onto the official road and joined the convoy from the capital.
changed the carriage and went straight to Jinan Mansion.
She left with her front foot, and Jiang's mother called the familiar Ya Po with her back foot and sold all the people in the grange.
At the same time, the back hall of the Jane family's old mansion was full of female dependents. There are girls and daughters-in-law of the family, aunts and grandmothers who have been married, and in-laws and family members. Including the Ji'an Palace, the people who come and go close on weekdays have also sent people with cronies to wait for news.
Mrs. Jian Si forced a smiling face to sit with everyone, but her heart was like fifteen buckets hanging, up and down......
