Chapter 61

While Jiang Xuewen was thinking, Jiang Chenfeng said, "Dad, my mother and eldest sister are here." ”

Looking out of the door, I saw Jiang Yan holding Tang Shi and walking to the study and going up the steps of the east wing.

He couldn't help but glance at the direction of the main house again, the lattice fan and the door were wide open, and he could see Huo Shijiu and Jiang Yu sitting next to the table, and Bing Song was serving tea. Cao Yu stood not far behind Huo Shijiu, Xu felt his gaze, and looked sideways.

The two looked at each other, Jiang Xuewen suddenly felt oppressed, irritable and opened his eyes.

The Tang family had already entered the East Chamber, and said, "Sister Yan, Brother Chen, you are all out of the room." ”

Jiang Chenfeng and Jiang Yan were stunned, it was rare for the Tang Clan to be so tough and serious.

The two glanced at each other, bowed respectfully, and went to Jiang Jiao's house together.

Tang Shi suppressed his voice and said: "Master, the day after tomorrow is a good day for my sister, are you still not allowed to prepare at home?" Your daughter's family is just this time in her life, do you plan to make Sister Wu regret for the rest of your life? Relatives still come to watch the ceremony, but our own family is not prepared, what do you make people think of our family, and how do you think of my sister? How embarrassing is it that you want to be a sister! ”

When Tang said this, tears flowed. She has persuaded Jiang Xuewen countless times these days, but Jiang Xuewen has never listened to her.

Jiang Xuewen sighed, helped Tang to sit down, and said, "You don't have to be so sad, I also have a hard time doing this, Sister Fu will understand my thoughts." Besides, what does it matter what others think? ”

With a long sigh, Jiang Xuewen said weakly: "The most embarrassing thing is not that we don't prepare for the wedding." It's that the groom is Huo Ying! ”

"You're just stubborn!" Tang was angina by Jiang Xuewen, "It's still like this, why do you bother to wronged your daughter!" If you hadn't listened to my advice. If you have to hit a stone with an egg, how can you be imprisoned? If it weren't for this catastrophe. Why should I take the children and beg grandpa to sue grandma to save your life? ”

When Tang mentioned this, the grievances in his heart intersected with anger at the moment. I couldn't control my emotions anymore, and choked up: "Your relatives have shrunk Wang Ba's neck at all times, and none of them care about the life or death of our family, who is selling his body for you?" Who is the talent of Gao Badou but willing to be a concubine? Who became Huo Ying's wife for you? Have you not repented and have not been able to understand it to this day? Sister Fu is not a concubine, she can be a wife, she is already favored by heaven, and she has no right to choose a son-in-law. It's not all thanks to you! You still dislike Huo Ying at this time, and you don't even give her marriage to a good student. The family is narrower and not tight, we finally have that attitude to come out, and we don't make our daughter feel cold! Acting like this, people don't see Jiang Yuming's sleeves and breeze, people will laugh at my daughter! ”

Speaking of this, Tang couldn't stop crying.

After being married for many years, Tang and Jiang Xuewen have always been husband and wife in harmony and respect each other. No matter how poor and miserable the days are, the Tang family has never had half a complaint. Today, it is the first time to quarrel with Jiang Xuewen, and even if it is noisy, it is so suppressed to save face for him, so that outsiders will not hear.

Jiang Xuewen felt sad in his heart. stepped forward and hugged Tang's shoulders and said, "You are wronged, I know what you are doing." I'm not a good father. Not a good husband either. ”

If he quarrels with her for a few words, Tang may still be able to take the opportunity to vent. But he has such an attitude. Speaking like this, Tang's anger was softened into tears of grievance. grabbed Jiang Xuewen's shirt and leaned against his chest, whimpering and crying.

"Jiang Yuming, how can you be worthy of Sister Yu'er! How can you bear it! Although the boy's temperament is not to your liking, when it matters to the moment, she can afford the lintel than Brother Chen'er's real man, such a good child, isn't it your own child? How much grievances do you have to give your family for the sake of your country's righteousness! ”

After some questioning, Jiang Xuewen, who asked, was speechless. It's not that he doesn't have a reason to distinguish between them, but even if some truths are said, the Tang family may not understand them, but they think that he has many excuses, and there will inevitably be a lot of right and wrong. At this moment, he just patted Tang's back and said softly: "Is it mine, isn't it, you are crying, crying red eyes make the children look at the jokes, how old are you." ”

Tang's heart was half cold, Jiang Xuewen didn't agree to anything, this time he just used words to coax her, and at this time, he was still only focused on his national righteousness.

The tears flowed even more fiercely, Tang suddenly got up and shook off Jiang Xuewen's hand, and cried in a low voice: "Jiang Yuming, I really have enough of such days. ”

The main house was occupied by Jiang Wei and Huo Shijiu, and Tang had to go to Jiang Yan's bedroom, close the door and weep alone.

Jiang Xuewen stood in the study in a daze, holding the back of the circle chair, and shook his head with a wry smile.

His retribution may only be understood by Sister Yu and Brother Chen. This will be the case if he doesn't prepare for the wedding, if they learn that he also ordered Jiang Yu to spy on the news in the future, the Tang family may not be able to follow it. Jiang Xuewen suddenly felt helpless and lonely. With his usual temperament, if he really happily sent Jiang Yu out of the cabinet, he would make Huo Ying and the others suspicious, right? Besides, seeing that Huo Ying really likes Jiang Yan, why not add another reason for him to pity? Only by gaining his trust and being close to his heart will it be easier to act in the future.

When Jiang Yu was talking to Huo Shijiu, she only saw her family members entering and leaving the study, and she watched Tang go to her house later, and she didn't know what was going on, so she couldn't help but be a little worried.

Huo Jiu rarely saw Jiang Yan's face worried, and comforted with a smile: "Everything is left to me to handle the wedding, you just need to be a bride with peace of mind, I see that your father has not made any preparations." The person who went to the shop tomorrow and the Quanfu person who gave you a face, can you invite? ”

Jiang Yu said: "My relatives will come tomorrow." ”

That's not invited?

Huo Jiujiu looked at Jiang Yan, and secretly said that Jiang Xuewen deceived people too much, even if he was not rare as a son-in-law, his daughter was always his own, right? How old is a woman? A sixteen-year-old girl is just going to be affected by this. What is she innocent of? The anger in my heart rose a few more levels, and the pity for her was even greater.

"In this case, it is better to invite your mother out of the bunk than those relatives who are not close to the border." Huo Shijiu still spoke in a gentle tone, and did not see anything unusual.

has only met once, and there is such an evaluation, which shows that the last behavior of the eldest aunt made Huo Shijiu shameful.

Jiang Yu smiled and nodded: "My mother is afraid that others will not worry." And I'm stupid, I can't do a lot of things. Mother also said that you want to meet your mother and confess your sins to her. ”

Jiang Yu originally talked to him a lot. It's the first time I've been so gentle today, and I'm shy when I say it. It's really cute.

Huo Shijiu smiled and said, "My mother is afraid that she will also have something to say to your mother, so it is better to ask her to follow the makeup delivery team to the shop." After a little hesitation, he said, "As for the Quanfu people, I will invite them, and you don't have to be anxious." ”

"It's not in order, is it?" Jiang Wei was stunned, she had never heard that in the marriage customs of the Dayan Dynasty, there was a husband's family instead of the woman's family to find the whole blessing.

Huo Shijiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you forgotten, when have I followed the rules?" ”

It's really true. He wasn't an ordinary person from the start. Jiang Wei had to nod.

Huo Shijiu was still a little stunned when he saw her obedient appearance, and couldn't help but laugh dotingly. "Then it's settled." Turning around, he instructed Cao Yu to open the casserole: "The chicken soup was brought to you by my mother." It should be just the right temperature. ”

Looking at the soup with a faint layer of oil stars floating in the pot, Jiang Wei was a little unappetizing, "I'm not hungry yet." ”

"Chopping wood under the poisonous sun, even if you are not hungry and tired, eat some to make up for it, I see that you have been reduced recently." Huo Jiujiu looked back at Bing Song, Bing Song was stunned for a moment, and rushed to get the small bowl and spoon, Huo Jiujiu took the white porcelain small bowl. served most of the bowl for Jiang Yu.

His movements in serving the soup are extremely elegant, and the fingers holding the spoon are slender and white, and the movements are very beautiful.

handed the bowl to Jiang Yan, Jiang Wei was not easy to refuse. I had to take it and taste it.

Huo Jiu said: "My mother and my sister-in-law both eat fast all day long, and those who are willing to kill chickens and pigs to prepare food for you have broken their vows." I don't know how many sutras you have to recite to make up for it, so you have to eat more. ”

Jiang Yu only nodded when she heard this. Eating a bowl doesn't count. was coaxed by him to eat two more bowls before stopping.

After feeding her, Huo Shijiu touched her head with a sense of accomplishment. asked Cao Yu to clean up the casserole, and told Jiang Yu not to worry about it before leaving.

Jiang Yu and Bingsong sent people to the front of the courtyard.

Bingsong's face flushed, and he said, "Girl, the commander is really good to you." ”

Jiang Yu just smiled.

Huo Nineteen was really good to her. And she could also see that Huo Shijiu's eyes would glow when he looked at her. His demeanor, if he doesn't really like her, he's acting. Whether it is the former or the latter, it only shows that he is worthy of merit.

It's just that the closer the wedding date, the more she knows that the days of unrest are about to begin.

Jiang Wei was worried about the Tang family, afraid of something, so she asked Bingsong to do other things, and went back to the house by herself.

At this time, Tang stopped crying, sat on the kang near the window, holding a half-embroidered handkerchief in a daze.

Jiang Yu entered the door, only to see Tang sitting in the backlight with a haggard face, and she couldn't see her expression if she didn't look carefully.

"Mother."

Tang forced a smile and said, "Finished talking to Huo Ying?" I see that he also knows that he cares for you, and he brought you food. ”

"It was ordered by Mrs. Huo."

"Your future in-laws are honest people, and I don't worry that you will suffer a loss, the old man is good to you, and you must also be filial to them, just like you treat me and your father, do you know the way?"

"Mother rest assured, my daughter knows the truth." Jiang Yu sat down next to Tang's side, leaned on her shoulder, and persuaded in a low voice: "I know what Dao Niang thinks in her heart, my father is stubborn, and he won't change easily if he makes up his mind, so don't argue with him about anything, but it will make you unhappy." ”

When Tang heard this, he held back his tears and smiled: "Niang Zhilu said." I'm going to deal with your father's temper. I can't stand it if I change to another person. ”

"Yes, you see, those people in the Jiang family don't like him, if you don't live with him, how pitiful he is."

Tang Shi took Jiang Yan's hand and rubbed the thick cocoon in her palm, and all kinds of distress in his heart turned into tears and swallowed into his stomach. That's it. I only hope that after getting married, Huo Ying can treat her as well as she is now. She doesn't have Jiang Xuewen's ambitions, she just hopes that her family will be safe and her children will be happy.

After lunch, people talked back and forth one after another, and Old Lady Jiang and the others had already arrived.

Jiang Xuewen took Jiang Chenfeng to greet him.

Jiang Yu is not familiar with her grandfather and grandmother in this life, and she has never met a few times. If she hadn't married Huo Nineteen, these people wouldn't have come. It's because she just treats her coldly and politely.

After talking to his grandfather, grandmother, eldest uncle and third uncle's family, Jiang Xuewen said: "The house is narrow and there is no place to stay, so it is better to go to the inn to live." ”

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang didn't like it, but they were helpless.

The eldest aunt also said: "Didn't the last commander of the envoy still say that there is a house under his name?" ”

Tang said with a smile: "Now that we are getting married, my uncle's family is also very busy, we can't bother us, so we will bother my father, mother and sister-in-law." ”

It doesn't matter if they want to go back to their home after Jiang Yu gets married.

Jiang Xuewen and Jiang Chenfeng went to see off the old lady and his party to stay in the hotel.

Not long after, Tang's brother Jiang Yan's uncle's family also came. The brother and sister naturally got along when they met, and Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan and Jiang Jiao were closer to their uncle. Uncle Guy is a mellow scholar, so far he has not achieved fame, his family is poor, and he only lives on his ancestors in the thin fields, and he can't get any decent gifts to add to the box.

Tang naturally didn't care, and only ordered Sister Yin to make a fire.

After dinner, Jiang Yan's bedroom was left for her uncle's family, and she went to squeeze Jiang Yan all night. The two sisters spoke a great deal of self-respect, and when they fell asleep at any time, they did not know what to say.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang came back with the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the family, and Jiang Wei's twelve dowries had been prepared and placed in the courtyard.

The Jiang family's narrow house really couldn't accommodate so many people, and the juniors had no choice but to move a small stool to sit in the yard. Only Jiang Yan stayed with Jiang Yan and Jiang Jiao here, and the bedroom was more spacious.

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Yan with great pity. During these days, she chopped wood in the yard whenever she was free, and it was useless to persuade her, and the reason they guessed was that she had no way to vent her depression in her heart, so she went to it. But at this time, Jiang Wei was obviously thinner, and her skin was slightly tanned, so she felt even more distressed.

Afraid that Jiang Yan would be sad, Jiang Yan and Jiang Jiao were talking about some happy topics, but after a while, they heard Jiang Yan's maid Phantom Frost hurriedly arrive at the door:

"Girl, the Huo family's makeup team is here!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Jiang Jiao couldn't hold back, and didn't ask Jiang Yan and Jiang Yan, so she ran out of the house to see. 、

Jiang Yan was not curious, and continued to say to Jiang Yan: "Thanks to your skillful hands, otherwise I wouldn't be able to give a gift to my in-laws during the tea ceremony." ”

"As a sister, I can't suffer on your behalf, can't I do this little thing......

The voices of the two men were drowned out by the sound of firecrackers that were getting closer.

Jiang Jiao happily ran back and said, "Eldest sister, third sister, who do you guess the six people who came to urge makeup?" ”

"Who is it?" Jiang Yan asked cooperatively.

Jiang Jiao said: "They all wore court clothes, the third brother-in-law was the most handsome among them, the emperor also wore a dragon robe and followed, and the rest also had three military attachés, and an old man, who also wore a purple python robe." ”

When Jiang Yan heard this, she almost threw away the pair of embroidered shoes inlaid with jade in her hand, and muttered: "Oh my God, sister concubine, this is a big deal, no matter who the others are, the emperor comes to urge makeup, this is the only one in the world!" ”

Jiang Wei smiled bitterly: "He really doesn't deceive me." ”

"What?"

"He said he wanted to give me the second wedding in the world."

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Yan and was speechless for a long time.

Jiang Jiao had already gone to the mouth of the alley to probe again, and hurriedly entered the house: "Eldest sister, third sister!" The emperor scolded his father and knelt down in front of the door! Hearing this, Jiang Yan and Jiang Yan hurriedly put down the embroidery bandage, opened the door and went to the courtyard.
