Chapter 3 Wife-in-law

If there is no desire, Jiang Luyao, who knows the situation of the second room, never thought of letting her father and brother get involved in the whirlpool of competition for the title of Marquis of Yongning, and the profession of playing soy sauce is more suitable for the second room.

Compared with acting on stage, Jiang Luyao prefers to watch the old lady play the other three rooms, and every time it is exciting, Jiang Luyao will secretly applaud the old lady!

The old lady fully demonstrated what is the style of an ancient wife, no children and no daughters still held the Yongning Mansion steadily, pinching the pigtails of the remaining three rooms, strictly speaking, the long room, the third room, and the fourth room were quickly offered to the old lady as an ancestor in order to inherit the title.

The biological son still dares to yell at his parents, and the concubine who has the heart to inherit the lord is better than a cat in front of the old lady, and the filial son and grandson can't do it.

But...... The old lady is always an old man, and there will always be a time when her life fails, and her mother is weak and her son is strong...... Maybe...... The evening scene will be bleak.

But looking at the life of her grandmother and the old lady, Jiang Luyao thinks that the old lady lives a chic life, much happier than those wives who have all kinds of forbearance because they have no son.

Even she is better off than many wives who have sons!

Jiang Luyao once sighed, no wonder the old lady knew that she couldn't give birth, so she gave Yongning Hou a concubine, and as a result, the concubines who gave birth to sons all died in various 'accidents' without exception.

No one can find traces of the old lady's shot from these 'accidents'!

Jiang Luyao couldn't catch up with her father, so she could only go back to the Yongning Hou Mansion.

She didn't know that the old lady in the carriage who had closed her eyes suddenly opened her eyes, and after listening to Jiang Luzhu's words, she pursed her lips, her eyes were deep: "The second child is getting more and more ridiculous, and he dares to lead people to Zhao Wangfu to make trouble?" Is there still a royal law in his eyes? ”

Jiang Luqi, the four-room concubine who has always been silent and calm, is the best one among all the sisters.

Although she can't say that she has a charming posture, Jiang Luqi's appearance is beautiful and vulgar, her temperament is down-to-earth and generous, and her words and deeds reveal a different kind of mature charm, Jiang Luqi is also the most valued lady in the Yongning Hou Mansion.

She was happy at the old lady's knees, and did her duty to serve her grandmother, but she never played with the rights and wrongs of each room in front of the old lady.

The old lady especially admired Jiang Luqi and always brought her to her side.

"Grandmother, the second uncle has a simple temperament, and he can't be stimulated the most, and the granddaughter can see that the second uncle loves his son......" Jiang Luqi softly defended the second room, "The second sister is shrewd and capable, since she has returned to the mansion, she will naturally find another way to help the second uncle, I think it will not implicate the Hou Mansion." ”

What does the fourth sister mean by this...... Grandmother said wrong? ”

Jiang Luzhu finally caught Jiang Luqi's mistake, she has always regarded Jiang Luqi as the main opponent, Jiang Luqi's steadiness and indisputability, in her opinion, it is a false seriousness, and she plays indisputably!

Although her father has the highest official position in the fourth room, the fourth master is in the noble Hanlin Academy, and he once had a high school to explore flowers, and it is said that the fourth master often enters the palace to give lectures to the emperor...... Not to mention the holy favor, at least the fourth master is familiar with the emperor!

Hanlin Academy, in the minds of scholars, is the temple, is the cradle of the prime minister.

There is a clear rule in the officialdom that non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet!

Don't look at the third master who is now a waiter in the Criminal Department, he didn't take the entrance examination when he was selected for the Hanlin Pavilion at that time, so there is no hope of entering the cabinet in this life!

Jiang Luqi said flatly: "Third sister, I often hear my grandmother say, brothers, friends, brothers, brothers!" The second uncle is in the same breath and branch as us, and the same clan and lineage, could it be that the second uncle has a difficulty, and the third sister will fall into the well if he doesn't say that he will help? ”

"How can I fall into the well?" Jiang Luzhu's eyes were round, and she said angrily: "Didn't I tell my grandmother about the situation of my second uncle?" The trouble caused by the second uncle last time...... It was my father who stepped in to solve it. ”

"With the second sister here, I don't think I need to work too hard for the third uncle!"

Jiang Luqi looked at her grandmother with a smile, "You see that since the second sister helped the second aunt to take care of the housekeeper, the second uncle always made a lot fewer mistakes in the past, although I am the same age as the second sister, but I know that compared to the second sister who is excellent in color, I am far behind!" ”

The old lady's eyelids raised, "Girl Qi has a high opinion of the girl from the second family." ”

"Well, although the second sister is not obvious, her granddaughter has always thought that the second sister has a blue heart and a furrow in her chest!"

"Since you say so...... the old lady bent the corners of her mouth, ignoring the jealous look that flashed on Jiang Luzhu's face, "Let's not go to the summer resort, go home!" I want to see how I can understand the lawsuit between the second child and King Zhao! ”

"Grandmother ......"

"Needless to say!"

The old lady stepped on the bottom of the carriage and shouted, "Go home!" ”

The carriage drove back into the Hou Mansion, Jiang Luzhu unwillingly helped the old lady to get out of the car, and the old lady patted Jiang Luzhu's arm, "Go back and tell your father, just say what I said, the second child should learn some lessons!" ”

Jiang Luzhu's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement, and she could see that her grandmother didn't look at the second room at all, and the old lady stayed in the Hou Mansion just to watch the monkey show up and down the second room.

Thinking of the temperament of the father and son in the second room, the corners of Jiang Luzhu's mouth also curved, which is indeed much more interesting than watching a monkey show.

Jiang Luqi did not compete with Jiang Luzhu for her grandmother's work, she accompanied her grandmother quietly and obediently...... Seeing Jiang Luzhu busy inside and out, pleasing her grandmother, Jiang Luqi laughed secretly in her heart, who is playing monkey? Who's watching the monkey show?

"You don't have to be busy." The old lady sitting on the kang had a pleasant smile, and only a keen person could notice that there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Luzhu, "I plan to sleep for a while, and you will come back at dinner, since I don't go to Zhuangzi, I can't keep you by my wife's side anymore, the third daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law also think about you, and the things on your carriage have to be rearranged and resettled." ”

The old lady Jiamin waved her hand and suppressed Jiang Luzhu's words that she wanted to stay and serve her, "Let's go back." ”

Jiang Luqi left obediently, Jiang Luzhu turned around step by step, and told the big girl Jade next to the old lady several times, "If grandmother wakes up, you must notify me!" ”

Jiang Luzhu personally cares about arranging the old lady's meals, and from every point of view, she is a filial granddaughter!

……

When only the old lady and her dowry mother Qi were left in the room, the old lady leaned on the kang and closed her eyes and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qi's mother married the chief housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, and the old lady gave her a slave in the early years, and now she has a group of children and a solid family.

She was supposed to go out of the house to take care of her old age, but she was reluctant to serve her master, Lord Jiamin, who had served her since she was a child, so she insisted on staying with the old lady.

Mother Qi has a very good face in the Hou Mansion, even if the master of the fourth room sees her, he will respectfully call Mother Qi!

"What do you not understand? Do you still need to ask the slave maid? ”

“……”

The corners of the old lady's mouth hooked, and she muttered for a while, "I can see what others want, but the four girls are afraid that they have other ideas, Jiang Luqi...... It's changed, don't say you didn't see it! ”

"The fourth lady looks more stable and mature than in the past, maybe it's because she's older." Mother Qi massaged the old lady's legs and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say that the fourth master would be promoted?" The fourth lady is not much worse than the famous lady...... The slave and maid see that she is not a person who is the best in everything, but she still knows how to be considerate of her sisters. ”

The old lady closed her eyes and sighed slightly, "She is only fourteen, and she is the only concubine in the fourth room, and the fourth daughter-in-law is spoiled and hurts, how can she ...... How did she understand how to hide clumsiness? I can see that the fourth girl is not a trick of indisputability, and she has no interest in the title of Marquis of Yongning...... But ......"

Suddenly, the old lady opened her eyes, her eyes were shining, "However, today she missed a point, I know that Sifang is not unconcerned about the title, but now she doesn't care about who succeeds the knight." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The Marquis of Yongning can be abolished if it can be established!" The old lady pressed her forehead, "She pushed out the second family, maybe it was because the second child always makes mistakes, and it is easy to catch the handle!" ”

"Didn't you never think about the second master? After all, the origin of the second master...... It's a little lower than the other masters! ”

"The four concubines, each biological mother is different, they are of high or low background, and I don't have the final say?" The old lady sneered: "I didn't give birth to the left and right!" How can there be a distinction between high and low? The biological mother of the second child ......"

The old lady closed her mouth, pillowed her arms and said, "You can help me take a look at the second girl when you have time." ”

Mother Qi's eyes rolled, and she said in a low voice: "The slave maid has been in the house, the second lady just now, the master...... The second lady was called away by the second wife, and you know that the second lady could not take over the errand of building a flower garden from the eldest lady, so she may not know how to 'deduct' the silver. ”

"Poof!" The old lady laughed, and Mother Qi continued: "If it weren't for your meaning, the second lady wouldn't have had a chance to ......."

"Poor second girl...... "The old lady smiled and her eyebrows expanded, "No wonder she was praised by the fourth girl for her outstanding color, she has such a father and brother, her biological mother, she is not shrewd and capable, how can the Hou Mansion have a place for a second room?" Just now I glanced at the second girl, the kid ...... Very eye-catching! ”

"There aren't many young ladies who fit your eyes, the slave must pay attention to the second miss."

"Hmm."

The old lady closed her eyes again and muttered to herself, "Who is she like?" It's not the same as when I usually say hello, little fox...... It became ...... fast."

"Yao'er, come on."

After seeing Jiang Luyao, the second wife directly dragged her daughter into the bedroom, handed her a silver ticket to her like a baby, and said, "I calculated the cost of repairing the flower garden, and I can save a hundred taels of silver this time." ”

Jiang Luyao held a fluttering and heavy silver ticket...... People who think of me hundreds of thousands of dollars a second, will they care about a hundred taels of silver? "Mother, this is not good."

The second wife said: "Haven't you heard of geese plucking? A hundred taels doesn't look like much, but you don't understand the truth that a little adds up? ”
