Chapter 9: Between Brother and Sister
When I woke up from a nap, the first thing I did, Jiang Ying propped herself up and looked at the round table in the room.
Sure enough, I saw a few things wrapped in pu leaves and twine wrapped in twine, and some smiles slowly appeared in my eyes.
Chunying helped her up and said happily, "The slave knows that the young lady will get up and look for the snacks brought back by the second master." Then he pointed to the unopened pastry and told her the same. It was sent by Fushun next to the second master. This is the osmanthus cake of the wide and narrow alley, and this is the Tongji fragrant cake. There are also your favorite chrysanthemum slices, and the tofu rolls that you have been hungry for a long time. ”
"Finally, the second brother has a heart." was served by Lufu to simply freshen up, and did not wait for Cui's mother to pack the porcelain plate. From the spread of the pampas leaves, he reached out and broke a piece of tofu roll, and brought it to his mouth to eat secretly.
"At this time, you think of the second master's good coming. Mo saw people, and confronted him again. Funny handed over the handkerchief, seeing that she cleaned her hands, Cui's mother was very familiar with the situation when her girl met the second master.
Both brother and sister are born by their wives, and their relationship is very good, and they will miss each other if they don't see each other for a few days. But if you really want to meet, it's needle-to-wheat, and you don't give in everywhere. It's rare, after changing the serious matter, the second master's eyes were swept away, and the seventh girl had to be obedient. It's funny.
"Don't be angry with him, let's go talk to the second brother!" With the curtain opened by Chunying, Jiang Ying led people to Jiang Yu's square restaurant.
Before entering the courtyard, I heard the laughter of the five girls inside, like Huang Ying, and the cry of "second brother" was soft and soft.
"Miss, the fifth girl is also here." Chunying frowned, her eyes full of helplessness. How could the fifth girl rush ahead of her own young lady every time, and instead of sitting in the uncle's courtyard, she entangled the second master.
The gentlemen have just returned home, and they have been in the carriage for half a day, and they don't even have the effort to give people a breath.
"The fifth sister is here, I think I must have brought the eldest brother over." Ran asked someone to go in and spread the word, Jiang Ying was used to Jiang Rou doing this.
Brothers, friends, brothers, sisters, harmony, please their father, befriending Jiang Yu, who is expected to enter the office, is beneficial to her, and she is never tired of it.
"The seventh sister is here." Fourteen-year-old Jiang Nan has good facial features and comfortable eyebrows. With a national character face and a broad forehead, it is said that he looks very similar to the late Ji.
He has a kind smile and a loyal temperament. Hearing rumors, Ben was still talking to Jiang Rou, and at this time he was already turning his head to look at her.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but my big brother looks in excellent spirits." In private, the brother and sister get along quite casually, Jiang Ying chose the brocade stool next to Jiang Yu and sat down, looked at the old and angry young man next to him, approached and gestured, and was immediately deflated.
"The second brother has grown in size again." You can see it even when you're sitting.
Obviously only a year older than her, but she stood on her toes to reach the bridge of his nose.
squinted at her, called someone to bring a plate of melon seeds, and pushed it to her. "It's different from when you live in the garden."
On Jiang Yu's slightly emaciated face, a pair of eyes were clean and translucent, and the eyebrows that flew obliquely into the sideburns were thin and long. At first glance, the whole person is full of sharpness and elegance of a scribe. laughing at her at the moment is also calm.
With a chuckle, Jiang Rou covered her mouth and stared at Jiang Yu's round and full face, which was really white and tender, with two points of girlish childishness, no wonder Jiang Yu teased her so much.
Pouting dissatisfied, Jiang Ying picked up the melon seeds and handed them to his mouth, and responded lightly. "The second brother's handsome face is whiter." knew that he was the most taboo "white-faced scholar", so she just used words to argue with him.
Jiang Yu has always been looking forward to having a loving brother, but since Jiang Yu learned to speak, she has never been asked to get her wish!
When she was a child, the bear child dragged her to run around, and it was difficult for Jiang Yu's soft body, her legs and feet were not yet sharp, and she bumped and bumped behind him.
When the two of them were older, Jiang Yu had no teacher, and rushed to "take care" of her in person. took a rice spoon and fed her rice, so that Jiang Ying's face was all over the face, and the little girl was so angry that she was in tears, with rice in her mouth, and she couldn't cry.
When Jiang Yu entered the school and became enlightened, his temperament changed rapidly, and he was extremely active and quiet, which caused Jiang Yu to fail to adapt and suffered enough.
Every afternoon, Jiang Ying had to sit obediently, locked in the small study of Sifangzhai by him, holding the volume of "Jixian Collection" larger than her face. She reads one, he writes one. If he reads it wrong, the second master Jiang Yu will be very unhappy and hum with his nose.
During that time, Jiang Ying had a very good time, and she pinched her bitter tears. The Great Zhou Dynasty has the majority of small seals, followed by wild grass. The four-and-a-half-year-old Jiang Yu is still struggling to learn, and it is difficult for her to be weaned when she is a little older, and she has accompanied the second master to study hard. The most hateful thing is that the man still dislikes him and drags him down!
Such a brother, Jiang Ying has grown up to now, and it is not easy to choke with him only on his lips.
It hurts her the most, in the eyes of others, this is a natural brother and sister relationship. Lord County Shou and Xu's looked happy, and seeing Jiang Yu's young age, he could barely be left behind by Jiang Yu, and praised Jiang Yu very much, but encouraged Jiang Yu more, so that the second master, who was still a half-sized child, understood the burden on his shoulders from now on.
So growing up in such a friendly atmosphere, Jiang Yu became more and more strict, Jiang Yu understood more deeply than anyone else, what is "eldest brother like father"!
Jiang Yu has accumulated a lot of power over the years, and Jiang Ying rarely contradicts him in serious matters. The only thing that can get some scenes back is only lip service, which is on par with him.
Seeing that the two of them looked at each other and competed secretly, Jiang Nan funnily poured hot tea for everyone and picked a topic that everyone was interested in. "Tomorrow's distinguished guest invited by the mansion, can the seventh sister know the identity of the person who came?"
"Mrs. didn't say." Turning around, he picked up the tea bowl and took a bite, leaned over and asked Jiang Yu with a smile, "Does the second brother know?" ”
Jiang Yu raised her hand and snatched off the tea lid she was pinching with her fingertips, and trained people routinely, "The rules have been learned in vain?" It wasn't until I saw her sit upright with her neck curled up that I pondered for a moment and told her the truth.
"The people who came have some connections with the house. But the door is unattainable. ”
Jiang Nan originally planned to provoke the conversation, and the brothers and sisters joined in the fun. I didn't expect Jiang Yu to get serious.
Jiang Yu didn't expect that she would ask casually, and Jiang Yu could really answer. It should be her father who was in a hurry to summon the two to talk.
In this matter, Jiang Ying only felt helpless. Even if she is loved by the county keeper, she can't cross the ancestral rule of "women don't get involved in foreign affairs" after all. Therefore, whenever there is a major event in the house, the county guard will only call the uncle and the second master to inform him in person. A few girls in the house, together with Mrs. Xu, just live a peaceful and stable life.
"Who's coming? Why do you say that it has something to do with the house? Without waiting for Jiang Ying to speak, Jiang Rou couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Jiang Nan curiously.
is different from the seven girls praised by everyone in the house. Jiang Rou opened her mouth to call Mrs. Xu on the first day, and she knew that she was no longer an irreplaceable girl in the second room.
Ji went early, and she was born before she was a year old and had no biological mother. If it weren't for Ji's mother, who stayed by Jiang Nan's side, from time to time to mention the good of Mrs. Xian, she was afraid that she would have been raised by the Xu family and forgot to be born.
Before Zhang's mother was sent to Zhuangzi, she lay alone on the bed, holding her hand. A woman of forty years old had a wrinkled face and gray hair. With red and swollen eyes, she was only concerned over and over again, asking her to watch out for her wife and make more plans for her uncle and herself.
Jiang Rou kept it in her heart, and attached great importance to everything that could become her help in the future, and she didn't want to miss it.
