According to the rules of the Southern Chong Dynasty, Jiang Xianyan could not spend Chinese New Year's Eve at home, but had to go to the palace for a banquet.

Accompany the emperor to keep the New Year, watch the palace dance, and then the monarch and ministers drink and compose poems, sing and make peace.

When Di Qiuheng hurriedly ran to report to him, he had already changed his clothes, packed up, and was ready to go.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, many ministers of civil and military affairs have a headache and should make poems, find a guest to write in advance, and take it out to the back for fear of making jokes when they get on the sedan chair, but Jiang Xianyan does not have these troubles at all, he dare not say that he is rich in five cars, and it is not a problem to make a poem and a painting on the spot.

Compared with Di Qiuheng's worries, Jiang Xianyan's reaction was much calmer, and he could squeeze out almost half an hour, returned to the table, and sat down again.

In the past half a month, Wang 13 felt that Jiang Xianyan was leaving him aside, but in fact, it was not.

After all, he only has such a nephew, and if the grievances and entanglements are made up, it is enough for the storyteller to talk for three days, during this time, he not only paid attention to Wang Shisan's words and deeds, but also personally interrogated a few Xuan Tongfang, and even sent someone to Daliang to inquire about Wang Shisan's life over the years.

Except for the news from Daliang, which has not yet come back, the other conditions are not very optimistic.

Although his nephew didn't say that he relied on his martial arts to do evil and disregard people's lives, he couldn't run away from lawlessness and lawlessness, if he didn't strictly control it, it wouldn't be long before he would be another bandit leader Lu Hongda.

This is the nature of this, and the Lu family's "Tomorrow True Scripture" will affect the state of mind of the cultivators, and the more they get to the end, the more restless they become. Jiang Xianyan felt a deep headache.

The mother-in-law in the backyard recognized the wrong person's gaffe, and although Jiang Xianyan suppressed the matter, he didn't expect that kid to be unaware.

This is when it erupts. Jiang Xianyan felt that the stone had finally fallen to the ground.

He told Di Qiuheng to bring the people.

Di Qiuheng said worriedly: "What about that Gu girl? ”

Your nephew is unreasonable, if he insists on bringing his fake daughter-in-law, his subordinates can't stop him.

Jiang Xianyan understood the unfinished meaning of his henchmen, and said gloomily: "You can talk to Miss Gu." If she still wants to come along, you can tell her that the affairs of the Jianglu family will come to participate after she really gets married. ”

Di Qiuheng secretly sighed to himself. It's going to tear his face like this, in fact, it's really good for him to take care of the girl, but the virtue of the adult's nephew is really not worthy of others.

In fact, it was useless for Di Qiuheng to embarrass him. As soon as he went to talk to Wang 13 and Wen Sheng, Wen Sheng took the initiative to avoid it, and Wang 13 followed him to see Jiang Xianyan.

Time is limited, and Jiang Xianyan is not ready to go around in circles. Tell Wang Thirteen to sit down across from him. Straight to the point: "Since you already know, I won't hide it from you, yes, your biological mother's surname is Jiang, and she is my sister." ”

Seeing that his expression was calm, Wang 13 didn't feel guilty, and couldn't help but interject: "What about her?" Where is it now? ”

"She's long gone. If not, you won't be sent away. Exiled to a foreign land, he fended for twenty years. ”

Although he had a hunch, Wang Shisan still couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

He jerked his body back. Leaning on the back of the chair, he let out a sigh: "Then what disgraceful role did Lord Jiang play in this?" ”

After the death of the Lu brothers, Jiang Xianyan suddenly showed his talents, and then he rose to prominence, if the matter had nothing to do with him, Wang Shisan dared to twist his head off.

Jiang Xianyan was not angry, and sighed slightly: "I still have to go to the palace, I can only say a few words to you today, yes, if I hadn't suggested that the generals who encircled and suppressed Lu Hongcheng use siege crossbows, and personally led the troops to Lu Hong's hiding place to arrest him, the two of them would probably not die, and they are still at large." ”

Wang Shisan's body exuded a sinister aura, and he raised his palm and planned to shoot the case, but he thought about it but put it down.

During this time, Jiang Xianyan's attitude made him vaguely guess, so these words were not sudden for him, and he planned to ask Jiang Xianyan to finish his words.

Jiang Xianyan glanced at him, seemed to be a little surprised, and said in a deep voice: "The Jiang family was originally a big family in Nanchong, and there were many virtuous ministers and capable officials in their ancestors, but it was only in your great-grandfather's generation that the heirs were thin and the family was in the middle.

"Your grandfather went early, and I studied hard at my mother's order since I was a child, thinking of glorifying the lintel and benefiting the people. Later, he was recommended by the local boss and joined the then prince and young master to serve under Luo Xingchao.

"General Luo was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night because the Lu brothers gathered a large number of water bandits and controlled the Feiyun River to burn and kill and plunder, he asked me, is there a way to eliminate this great harm for Nanchong? I replied, "Yes." He asked me what I could do, and I asked the governor to give me three or four years. ”

Jiang Xianyan stopped at this point, looked at Wang Shisan's eyes deeply, and no longer talked about how he met Lu Hongda back then, and how he became a good brother with him.

He doesn't talk about it, Wang Thirteen can imagine it for himself.

"So you were so greedy that you used your sister as bait and caused him to scatter his martial arts?"

Di Qiuheng couldn't stand listening to it, and shouted: "What nonsense! ”

Jiang Xianyan did not argue, his pupils contracted slightly, and his eyebrows showed a look of confusion and pain, he paused, and said: "Whatever you think, I asked you to say this because I want to tell you that this matter has nothing to do with your grandmother from beginning to end, she blames me for hurting your mother, and she has been sick for the past twenty years, and she has not had a good face for me." She is a woman's family, widowed at a young age, it is not easy to pull me and your mother to grow up, if you have a conscience, you will do your filial piety in front of her for your mother, and Hugh will vent her resentment against me. ”

Wang 13 sneered: "This still needs you to say, the uncle has always had clear grievances and grievances. ”

Jiang Xianyan nodded: "That's good." ”

He stood up and instructed Di Qiuheng: "Tonight he wants to accompany the old lady to keep the New Year, Qiuheng, you watch for me, you are not an outsider anyway, if the old lady is dissatisfied, you can say that it is my meaning, for the sake of the safety of everyone in the house." ”

Di Qiuheng responded with a bitter face, it is conceivable that as soon as she said this, according to the old lady's temper, she must be even more angry, she began to be widowed in her early twenties, and she was not bullied. This anger, maybe the teacup or something will be thrown over directly.

Jiang Xianyan was already about to leave, and he saw that Wang Shisan's face was gloomy when he heard his words. But he didn't pounce on him desperately, knowing that he had some scruples, so he deliberately beat him: "Yan Yiling said that your grandmother is sick with a heart, you can coax her well and tell her to get better quickly, and it is not in vain for me to ask Yan Yiyi to treat that Gu girl's injuries." ”

Wang 13 watched Uncle Cheap walk away, and was angry in his heart: "Grandma's." What do you mean, threaten me? You two-faced old white face, you wait for me! ”

Jiang Xianyan left the living room. did not leave the house immediately, but went to the backyard, and ordered someone to call Mrs. Wu and give me some advice.

Someone from the old lady's place has to give her a tone in advance. Otherwise, this cold person, a person who looks like a dead ghost, Lu Hongda, rushed in and called grandma. Don't scare her out of the way.

Wu nodded in agreement.

The husband and wife have no children after almost 20 years of marriage, although it is a pity, but Jiang Xianyan is in a second-class high position, and she is the only wife in the family, not to mention that the concubine has a room, and the brothel of the Qinglou with his colleagues is avoided as much as possible, so the Wu family also tries his best to maintain this family.

Although the mother-in-law and her husband have deep contradictions, she serves carefully. The mother-in-law probably feels that she has a debtor and a master, and she can't be angry with others. It's not bad to treat her.

After so many years, it is better than Jiang Xianyan to be able to speak in front of the old lady.

Jiang Xianyan didn't have a son, and a nephew suddenly popped up this time, she couldn't help but think about it, but looking at her husband's expression and tone, it didn't look like it, it was all in the future, let's get through the current level first.

said that it was to keep the year, but the old lady was old and in poor health, so it was impossible to keep it until midnight.

As soon as Jiang Xianyan walked on his front foot, food began to be passed in the backyard.

There is not even a junior in the family, and it is usually fine, but at this time, it is particularly lonely.

Before the meal came up, Mrs. Jiang sat cross-legged on the couch, her heart was sour, and she closed her eyes with a calm face.

After such a short period of work, the housekeeper who had been to the East Courtyard two days ago had been called out twice under the pretext, once Di Qiuheng, and once Mrs. Wu, the grandmother saw that even Mrs. had spoken, and the two had the same caliber, knowing that it was the adults who had opened the ban.

Knowing her grandson was a great joy for the old lady.

With excitement, she waited for the first few dishes to come up and come close to serve, and when she wanted to speak, she immediately attracted the attention of Mrs. Jiang.

"What's the matter, if you don't dare to say anything, isn't that the rebel who poisoned the food?"

If it was the official eunuch next to him, Mrs. Tai popped up such a sentence when she was eating, I don't know how many people were scared and sweated and knelt on the ground to plead guilty, but the people around Mrs. Jiang had been tossing for twenty years and were already tired.

The maids and mothers-in-law stood with their eyes down and didn't hear it, Wu knew how to attract her mother-in-law to the same enemy as her, and said with a smile: "Look at what my mother said, if he wants to poison his daughter-in-law first?" poisoned him, just as a new person gave him a son. ”

Old Madam Jiang snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you, obviously he can't give birth to himself, if not, you can't do such a thing as that beast?" ”

Wu smiled and said no more.

Mrs. Jiang stretched out a leg and asked the maid to help her put on her shoes, and suddenly saw that the housekeeper was looking at her, knowing that something was wrong, and when the shoes were put on, she didn't need the grandmother to help, and said with a calm face: "Okay, you all go out, Chai Shou's family, you stay." ”

The Wu family obediently took the maids and mothers-in-law to retreat, and the housekeeper saw that there were only two people left in the room, she and Mrs. Jiang, and knelt down in front of the bed.

"Old lady, there is something that the slave maid thinks about, and I think I should tell you about it."

Old Madam Jiang closed her eyes: "Say, what did that beast do again?" ”

"The night before yesterday, you ordered the slave maid to go to the East Courtyard to see who made such a loud noise......"

Mrs. Jiang said "um": "Didn't you say that the guest accidentally lit a firecracker, didn't you?" She opened her eyes, and looked at each other with a look in her eyes.

"Yes, but old lady," said the housekeeper, her voice lowered and looked mysterious, "the slave and maid inadvertently glanced at the guest, who was about twenty years old, and looked like a living statue of his uncle, as if carved out of a mold. ”

Old Madam Jiang's body shook when she heard this, and grabbed the shoulders of the housekeeper, and it was hard to imagine that her skinny hands like chicken paws had such strength.

"Really? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

The housekeeper had already thought about the rhetoric, and said: "The slave and maid have not reacted, for fear of making the old lady sad, so she didn't dare to talk more. The age is also appropriate, do you think it will be ......?"

Without her finishing, Mrs. Jiang had already stood up on the bed, and said continuously: "It must be, it's Si'er's child, my poor Si'er......"

The old lady's tears fell, and she couldn't care about wiping them, so she hurriedly urged: "What are you waiting for, bring him to me quickly." What motives does that rebel son hide, he has harmed my daughter and son-in-law enough, does he want to harm my poor little grandson. ”

She cried for a while, and then remembered that she needed to find someone, and she didn't care about being dizzy and uncomfortable at this time, so she called Wu in and ordered her to hurry to the front yard and invite someone over.

When Wu was obedient and left, the housekeeper and grandmother recounted what she had seen that day, and in order to make the old lady happy, she also made a point of mentioning that the guest had brought a woman of the same age.

The old lady was worried: "I don't know how the child has been doing all these years, the child without a father and mother is miserable, what kind of woman can take a fancy to him?" ”

At this time, the "poor little grandson" was already waiting outside the hanging flower door in the backyard.

On one side is Wen Sheng, and on the other side is Di Qiuheng, who is in charge of staring at him.

While waiting, Wang 13 smashed his mouth, still a little nervous.

Although he came here to conquer the old lady, if he did not have the slightest desire for his relatives in his heart, it would be impossible.

So it's better not to hurt the harmony.

Wang Shisan waited patiently outside the door for a long time, only to see the person who greeted him come out, and took a look at the Wu family, knowing that this was Jiang Xianyan's wife, his aunt, and nodded politely.

Wu was a little embarrassed and said, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

Di Qiuheng consciously followed last.

Old Madam Jiang was waiting in the house, and the time for people to come was much faster than she expected.

As soon as the curtain rang, a figure rushed in before everyone else, and "plopped" pushed Jinshan to kneel down, startling the old lady, shaking backwards, and sitting on the bed.

A strange and familiar big man looked at her and exclaimed, "Grandma! Grandmother! ”

Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth, thought about it, and thought of the poor girl, only to feel the pain of worrying her heart, and the tears came down with a "swish".

Wang 13 was a little dumbfounded, and said in his heart: "Oh, mom, I'm crying." I've been preparing a lot of bitter drama before it starts. (To be continued......)
