Chapter 315: Old Lady Jane
Mrs. Jane was over sixty years old, and she wore a long gown embroidered with stone blue and black piping, and a dark purple horse-faced skirt was exposed underneath. Long eyebrows and thin eyes, wide forehead, high nose and chin, slightly fat face can vaguely see the elegance of youth.
is already a person with gray temples, his legs and feet are still very neat, he is straight no matter how he walks and sits, and there is a majesty between his gestures.
Mrs. Jane is in her forties, with a round face, a medium build, and a standard well-maintained body type. With the usual smile of the official's wife on her face, she hides all her shrewdness under the skin of kindness.
In terms of appearance, she is inferior to the other three wives of the Jian family's East Mansion. If you talk about being capable and virtuous, the women of Manchu can't catch up with her when they hug her. In the first five years of marrying Master Jian, she gave birth to two sons and one daughter in one go, and raised two sons and three daughters with one hand. Filial piety mother-in-law, respect husband, love children, go to the hall, down to the kitchen, a good hand inside and out, is really a model for the daughter-in-law of the long house.
After Mrs. Jian gave birth to Master Jian and Jian Wushuang, her body suffered a loss, and she rested for several years in the middle, and then gave birth to second, third, or fourth masters and Jian Zhuohua one after another.
The old lady of Dongfu went early, and in order to share his mother's worries, Master Jian became a relative early. The top four young masters are all in the big room, and the top two girls are also in the big room. Five of them have already become relatives, and the fourth young master of the concubine has also been married, just waiting for the woman and Lu to get married.
Ancestor worship is a major event, and men must be present without exception, regardless of their grandchildren. As for the female dependents, except for the eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, the others are dispensable.
The big house and the little six are very familiar. inevitably revealed the secret of the Jian family's change of daughter and marriage, this time, Mrs. Jian only brought the daughter-in-law of the eldest young master Jian Kangcheng.
This young lady's maiden name is Tong, and her maiden name is Wenfang. Born in the family of Shili, he was born generous and quiet, with fair skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes. He speaks with a southern accent, and when he speaks, he speaks with birds and flowers, which is pleasing to the ear.
Everyone greeted these people into the hall and sat down in a respectful and humble manner. Come forward and see you one by one.
When it was Jian Ying's turn. Mrs. Jian held her in her arms and called out several times, touching her head and touching her face to ask her carefully how she had lived in the past two years. He asked to bring the two children over and looked at them one by one, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of love and relief.
From beginning to end, there is not the slightest flaw. It seems that Jian Ying is really her granddaughter who was raised by herself.
Jian Ying admired Mrs. Jian so much that she threw herself to the ground. This acting. In a few hundred years, you will definitely be able to get the Oscar. Mrs. Jian and Tong Wenfang are not inferior, and they show no more or no affection for Jian Ying. It doesn't make people feel exaggerated, nor does it make people feel unfamiliar.
Compared to these three people, Mrs. Jian Si and Jian Lan are far behind. One had fire in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to rush up and kick Jian Ying away from Mrs. Jian's side; One was so fierce against the handkerchief in his hand that he almost bit his lip.
Before it was Jian Lan's turn to come forward to pay a visit, it was time for dinner. Everyone moved to Jiyue Hall, and Mrs. Jian ordered Jian Wushuang, Jian Zhuohua and Jian Ying to accompany her back to the room to change clothes.
Mrs. Jian Si deliberately pulled Jian Lan behind, and when everyone else left, she pushed Jian Lan forward, "Mother, let Lan'er accompany you too." The first time this child saw his grandmother, he was so happy that he kept talking to me about you, so he asked her to go over with her two aunts and grandmothers to serve you, and do her filial piety. ”
Old Madam Jian looked at Jian Lan kindly, praised "He is a good boy", and said to Mrs. Jian Si: "I just change my clothes, where can I need so many people to serve?" ”
That's a rejection.
Mrs. Jian Si didn't expect Mrs. Jian to be so unsentimental, and she really treated Xiao Liu'er as a concubine, and her eyes turned a little red in a flash.
At the critical moment, Jian Lan was calmer than Mrs. Jian Si, and hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Jian Si's arm and said, "Mother, grandmother is right, there are too many people to disturb grandmother." The grandmother has to live in the house for a month, and the daughter wants to be filial and has the opportunity, so she is not in a hurry at this time.
Today's crowd is inevitably busy, so my daughter should accompany you to the front to say hello. ”
He said that he shook his hand firmly on Mrs. Jiansi's arm, signaling her not to be self-defeating.
Mrs. Jian Si forced herself to suppress the grievances and indignation in her heart, squeezed out a dry smile and said, "That's right, but I didn't think it through. Mother go to freshen up and change, and the daughter-in-law will go to the front to say hello first. ”
Old Madam Jian nodded faintly, and the three of them accompanied her back to the room to change clothes.
When they were far away, Mrs. Jian Si shook Jian Lan's hand away with hatred, and scolded in a low voice: "There is no way to make a profit, seeing that wild seed coaxing your grandmother into obedience, I don't know how to fight." ”
"What did Mother say?" Jian Lan also had a cold face, "On an occasion like today, how do you let me fight?" If I provoke people's eyes, won't it make my grandmother even more annoyed with me? Don't get involved in this, I have my own plans. ”
"What are your plans?" Mrs. Jane looked at her with some surprise.
Jian Lan was impatient to tell her in detail, "It's all said, don't get involved." ”
Flicked his sleeves and walked forward first.
In fact, Jian Ying accompanied Mrs. Jian, and she couldn't say a few words to Mrs. Jian, just listening to Jian Zhuohua and Mrs. Jian's complaint, saying that her sisters-in-law were not ~ kind, and no one would be close to her, and hired her sister Tong as her daughter-in-law.
One is a granddaughter, and the other is a grandson of her relatives, Mrs. Jian naturally wants to favor her grandson, "The palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, I can't offend my son and daughter-in-law as you wish, right?" Don't talk to me about this, I'm too old to take care of my children and grandchildren.
Besides, the melon that people twist is not sweet, you just stuff your daughter over, and Sister Tong will be able to live a good life in the future?
The bigger it is, the more confused it gets! ”
Jian Zhuohua saw that her mother was not on her side, and immediately burst into tears, "Then you can't let Sister Tong be an old girl at home for a lifetime, right?" ”
"What are you crying about?" Jian Wushuang glared at her sister, "Mother just came back, and you blocked her." In front of his niece and daughter, it's not a shame. ”
Jian Ying just didn't hear it, and sat with her head down and fiddling with her clothes.
Old Madam Jian stretched out her hand and touched her little daughter's head, "Okay, don't worry, when you return to the capital, ask your sister-in-law to help Sister Tong find a suitable person."
Sister Tong is a good child, but it's a pity that she was raised badly by you. You give her to me, and I will take her for two years, and I can always ask her to be more productive before she gets married. ”
Jian Zhuohua didn't dare to mention those nonsense praising her daughter in front of her mother, and when she heard Mrs. Jian say that she wanted to help her bring Sister Tong, she burst into tears and laughed, "That's good, I don't expect Sister Tong to have a big future, just like Xiao Liu'er." ”
Jian Ying secretly rolled her eyes, and said in her heart, what is wrong with these two sisters? Talk and talk, always carry her to do something?
Old Madam Jian glanced at Jian Ying casually, and after a few more gossips, she instructed Jian Wushuang and Jian Zhuohua: "You two go over first, I have a few words to say to Xiao Liu'er." ”
