Chapter 38: The Contest
Jiang Shi glared at Jiang Shiyu with a blue face, and coldly raised his eyebrows and reprimanded Qian, "My younger brother and sister boast of being from everyone, why don't you teach your daughter well?" Such a girl is not afraid of losing the face of our Jiang family when she brings it out? ”
Jiang, who has no face in front of people, naturally will not give Qian a good face.
Qian was choked by the eldest sister's words, and scolded in his heart: If it weren't for your aunt's heart to go to the edge of the sky, would my daughter be embarrassed?
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't swallow that breath, anyway, there were only a few girls left in Meilin, and the Qian family was not afraid of the Jiang family.
Helping Jiang Shiyu to stand up, her neck stiffly followed Jiang's words,
"What do you mean by this, eldest sister? Our Qian family has two queens and a princess, and the family education etiquette is first-class. I don't know if the eldest sister said this because of the poor vision in the palace, or if our Qian family's tutors have a false reputation? ”
"The eldest sister also has the blood of the Jiang family on her body, and your nephew's daughter is ashamed and you have your share as an aunt!"
Qian was also in a hurry, so he choked back.
As the eldest sister and the second lady of the Hou Mansion, Jiang has always had a face in front of her mother's family.
I didn't expect that today, in front of the girl's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Qian Shi would lose her face like this, which really made her unable to get off the stage.
The plump and white face was red and red, and she trembled and pointed at the tip of Qian's nose, "Okay, I didn't expect your Qian to have a good pair of teeth." Okay, okay, when I come to the door to apologize in person and apologize to my eldest brother, I will say that I, who is an aunt, can't speak, and collided with my brother and daughter-in-law! ”
She is threatening the Qian family, how can she apologize to her brother in person?
The Qian family was not frightened, and smiled coldly when he heard this, "Even if the eldest sister goes, I don't know if our master can lose his future for the eldest sister?" ”
The Jiang family naturally heard the meaning of her words, it was nothing more than saying that Jiang Degong had to rely on the Qian family to become an official, and if she really gave Jiang Degong eye drops, she had to be careful about Jiang Degong's future!
As the eldest sister, no matter how stupid the Jiang family is, she will not ruin her brother's future?
After all, her own daughter who entered the palace couldn't be counted on, and if her mother's family offended again, she would have nothing to rely on.
At that time, she was in the same situation as Mei's.
Thinking about her, I felt frightened, and my face couldn't help but change a few times.
Qian could naturally see that he knew that he had hit the snake to seven inches, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he pulled out a sneer.
What is the second lady of the Hou Mansion, but she is just a silver-like pewter spear head, if there is no brother of the mother's family, the old lady of the Hou Mansion will look down on her every year?
Jiang Shi, who was holding his breath, suddenly felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and wanted to scold Qian Shi, but he was afraid of losing the identity of Mrs. Houfu, so he could only endure the fire in his stomach and shake his forehead.
The young grandmother who was crying Cuizhu on the side was not stupid, and when she saw this, she hurriedly helped her mother-in-law's arm, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, "Mother, you have to be careful of your body and bones, don't be like those aunts who raise you!" In the future, the Hou Mansion will still want you to be the master of the house. ”
Anyway, Mei's can't fight her mother-in-law, and the eldest and youngest grandmother can be regarded as speaking psychologically.
Qian's face immediately turned blue, she was raised by her aunt, although the relationship with her mother-in-law was not bad, but she had never been in front of people.
Although she is married to Jiang Degong as the main family, compared with the women in the clan who can enter the palace, she is just a person who cannot be put on the stage.
How could she stand this?
It's just that the Lu family is a junior, if she really gets more serious, she will lose her identity.
What's more, now that he and the Jiang family have torn their faces, they want to tell their two daughters a good relationship, but the Jiang family can't be trusted.
She was also a little worried, she couldn't be angry just now, trying to speak quickly, which annoyed the Jiang family.
She concluded that the Jiang family would not sue Jiang Degong, but what about her two daughters?
The Jiang family still has some status in the noble circle in Beijing, she doesn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps, and marry a small official from a poor family, and she will only be a Beijing official for the rest of her life, where can she marry into a prestigious family?
But the nephews of her mother's family, the people she can look up to look down on her family, and she can't look down on those concubines.
Seeing that he doesn't marry his daughters anymore, the age of the two daughters is like a year, and if it is delayed, it will be bad.
In an instant, so many thoughts passed through Qian's mind.
Seeing that Jiang was slowly picked up by her daughter-in-law Lu, she was really a little anxious.
But she can't make amends.
In the end, she could only take Jiang Shijing and the sisters out of Merlin.
Jiang Shiyun followed He Lin forward with a tap, and there was still a stomach of words in her heart that she couldn't solve.
In Merlin, she had actually discovered several suspicious places.
Cuizhu's body was rummaged over several times, and finally she found some useful clues.
The heels of the embroidered shoes on Cuizhu's feet have worn out, but the upper is only eighty percent new.
A pair of eighty percent new shoes, worn on the feet of a big girl in front of the grandmother of the Hou Mansion, no matter how much you walk, the heel will not be worn out like that.
There is only one reason, and that is that after Cuizhu died, she was dragged to Merlin and hung from a tree.
Merlin is located in the northwest corner of the Hou Mansion, not a cold winter wax moon day, plum blossoms do not bloom, there is almost no trace here.
Walking out along Merlin, to the southeast is a small courtyard with red walls and black tiles, and there are about a dozen houses.
Jiang Shiyun didn't know who lived there, but the closest place to Merlin was the courtyard.
Therefore, if you kill someone and don't be discovered, you can easily move to the courtyard, which is a convenient place.
She lowered her head and searched the road carefully, and sure enough, she found a silk thread hanging from the yellow grass stubble on the side of the path.
I pinched it in my hand and compared it, and it was the same color as the green leaves on the upper of the embroidered shoes on Cuizhu's feet.
Knowing this, she quietly tucked the thread into her sleeve.
He Lin had already walked far away, and found that she hadn't followed, so he couldn't help but stop and turn around, but saw Jiang Shiyun diverging to the path.
His eyes flashed, he walked back quickly, and couldn't help but want to reach out and pull Jiang Shiyun, but because there were people behind him, he had to retract his hand stupidly.
With a hint of annoyance, he asked her, "Can you get lost with such a big person following behind?" ”
Jiang Shiyun didn't answer according to his words, but just asked herself, "Do you know who lives in that courtyard?" ”
He Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately shook his head, and his voice was low, "No matter who lives there, you don't want to mix with it!" ”
Jiang Shiyun was suddenly stunned, what did he mean by this?
