Chapter 7: Going to my grandmother's house

After the relationship with her grandfather reached a certain level, Jiang Sumei made a request.

She wanted to visit her grandmother's house.

In fact, the old man also knows that the health of his in-laws has always been not very good, last year the Yu family moved to the capital, after Yu Chaoqing came to visit, he wanted to visit in person, and then the old lady said that the most taboo is not clean when she is sick, she will arrange it, and the old man will not care anymore. Now that his granddaughter is filial, how can he not be fulfilled, he immediately agreed, and let her stay for a few more days, so as to fulfill the love of his grandchildren.

Jiang Sumei was very happy, but she was a little worried that the old lady would disagree.

On the contrary, the old lady said that she was very good, and praised her for the first time, and sent someone to bring her luggage and send her to Yu's house that day.

Seeing the old lady looking like she was sending away the disaster star, Zhou's mother reminded: "When the third girl comes back, she will cry to the master." ”

The old lady drank a spoonful of tonic ointment fed by Yuegui, and said lightly: "What are you crying about, her grandmother's family is not doing her own livelihood properly, and she is poor, and her son is here, and we are also in the Grange when the harvest is lost, where can we get relief?" Even when the master asked, I was still reasonable, I didn't take care of the family, and I could take care of others. Besides, the murder was also their family's fault, and they didn't have to tell the master, in order to save people, the reputation of the harm was damaged, if the three girls didn't know the truth, you had to teach her. ”

Mother Zhou saw her say something lightly, and hurriedly responded.

The old lady drank the ointment, wiped her mouth, reached out and pressed her pulse, and sighed: "My body is not as good as day by day." ”

Just when the Li family came over and reported to her about the affairs of the house, the old lady said: "The three girls are in good health, won't the Wang family's wife have a banquet next month to enjoy the flowers, and then you will bring the three girls over together." ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, the old lady wants to marry Jiang Sumei.

The lady of the Wang family invited people to enjoy the flowers, in fact, she wanted to see the girls of each family, so that she could marry her son, and the Jiang family was also in the scope of consideration, so she sent an invitation early.

Li smiled: "That's good, Sister Nian is just uncomfortable, so I won't take her there." ”

The old lady had no objection.

The Yu family can now live on Wangchun Street on the west side of Andingmen, and it is also thanks to Jiang Sumei's mother, Yu Xiuzhen.

At that time, Yu Chaoqing was still young, and Yu Xiuzhen was already worried about his admission to Beijing and marriage, and when she heard that the family was going to move out, she did not hesitate to use her dowry and bought it.

Because of this matter, the old lady was quite dissatisfied and blamed her mother's family, but her father-in-law Jiang Zhaoqing understood it very well, after all, the second elder of the Yu family has two children, Yu Chaoqing is an old man, and the hopes of the whole family are pinned on him, and it is normal for Yu Xiuzhen to take care of her.

Anyway, this yard is the right one, and the Yu family moved to the capital, at least they don't have to send someone to the fence.

Jiang Sumei got out of the carriage, and the coachman went back, and when she came this time, she only brought Guo'er and a mother-in-law surnamed Liu, who carried some things to be used in her hands, as well as gifts from the old lady.

She stood at the door, and the mother-in-law came up and knocked on the door.

A gray-haired woman poked her head out and asked what was going on, and when she heard that it was the third girl of the Jiang family, she called back in surprise and hurriedly opened the door.

Zhang's mother ran over, screaming in her mouth: "Why did you come suddenly, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't speak!" ”

"I've thought about it for a long time, and as soon as I told my grandfather yesterday, it was approved." Jiang Sumei urged, "Mom, take me to see grandma." ”

Zhang's mother told the woman Zhu: "You take them to the place where they live, and put the things away." ”

Zhu responded, but took the things in Mrs. Liu's hand.

The old lady of the Yu family was lying on the bed, her head stretched out, and when she saw someone coming in, she asked in a trembling voice: "Worm Niang, Worm Niang, is it really you?" ”

Hearing that voice, Jiang Sumei was sad for a while, and she responded: "Grandma, it's me." He walked briskly along.

Who expected that Mrs. Yu waved her hand again: "Don't get close, be careful with you, you are sitting far away, you are already weak, but you can't get sick." ”

"It's okay, grandma, if I'm still sick, I definitely won't be able to come, but I'll come when I'm better." Jiang Sumei was not afraid and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Zhang's mother smiled: "Old lady, you are going to be fine, where will you live, really, the uncle has already gotten it, and it's not good to go out today." ”

Mrs. Yu was relieved, reached out to hold Jiang Sumei's hand, and looked at her carefully, and at this look, tears flowed all over her face.

The older this child is, the more like her mother, Mrs. Yu burst into tears when she thought of her daughter.

"Grandma, don't be sad, I will come to see you when I have the opportunity in the future." Jiang Sumei saw that the old lady of the Yu family had a silver face, round eyes, and amiable, but her expression was too haggard and she looked quite old, her nose couldn't help but be sour, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes, "Don't be angry with me, it's all my fault, I didn't come over earlier." ”

"This kid, who is angry with you, I'm angry with myself." Old Mrs. Yu sighed, but did not continue, only touched Jiang Sumei's head again, "Worm Niang, you have grown up a lot, I think I saw you that time, you were only so young, Xiuzhen hugged me, you only know how to cry, I left, and I didn't give me a smile." ”

This granddaughter, she has only met twice, and then Yu Xiuzhen died, she was originally going to come, but because she was stimulated, she fell seriously ill, Yu Chaoqing stopped her and didn't let her come, this time, three years have passed.

Jiang Sumei smiled: "I'll show you a smile now, it's good enough for you to watch." ”

Her eyes were crooked like crescent moons, her hands were still holding her face, and her mouth was wide and cracked.

"Good, good, good boy." Mrs. Yu smiled slightly, calmed down and said, "Don't worry too much about grandma, I'm fine here, you are a girl from a big family, you can't come out often." ”

The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and Jiang Sumei had time to take a look, only to see that the furnishings of this bedroom were very shabby, compared with the wing room of the second elder of the Jiang family, underground and heavenly. She recalled what she had noticed when she entered the door just now, that there were no people in the house, it was very empty, and it felt extremely desolate.

In fact, Zhang's mother was willing to take her money at that time, which already shows that the situation is bad.

I'm afraid that all the businesses that can make money are gone?

When Mrs. Yu fell asleep, she asked Zhang's mother softly: "The family will not become like this all of a sudden, why don't you tell people, grandparents can always help." ”

Zhang's mother didn't know how to answer.

Looking at her expression, Jiang Sumei couldn't help but think of Old Lady Jiang's virtue, and frowned: "Could it be that you have been there?" Mom, you can tell me as much as you want. ”

Zhang's mother was also full of resentment, so she couldn't help but talk about it.

It turned out that when the Yu family was not good, she did come to the Jiang family for help, but the old lady Jiang did not agree, only threw Yu Chaoqing fifty taels of silver, and sent him away like a flower child. Later, Yu Xiuzhen found out and took out her dowry.

Jiang Sumei shook her head when she heard this: "What about grandfather, does he know?" ”

"Old Man Jiang was far away at that time, so naturally he didn't know about it." Zhang's mother simply said, "The last time the uncle said that he was going to mention the matter to the old man, and the old lady was willing to let the girl move back." ”

Jiang Sumei suddenly realized.

It seems that the old lady is still very afraid of the old man, no wonder she doesn't like her anymore, as long as the old man says a word, she doesn't dare to disobey much.

It's a pity that the old lady does things contrary to the yin, her mind is twisted and turned, and the man's family is careless, so even if the old man may be a haode, he was trapped in an unrighteous place by the old lady.

"Girl, I've talked about this for a while, but I can't tell my uncle." Zhang's mother advised.

Jiang Sumei nodded: "Mom, don't worry." ”

Zhang's mother asked, "If you want to eat something in a while, I'll ask someone to buy it." ”

"You don't need to, I'll eat whatever you usually eat."

Zhang's mother smiled: "That's not good, the old lady will be happy if she sees it." ”

Jiang Sumei thought about it, then ordered a few things, and Zhang's mother happily ordered to go.

When he was about to eat, Yu Chaoqing came back and was also a surprise to see Jiang Sumei.

Jiang Sumei quipped: "Don't you give food in Confucianism?" ”

Yu Chaoqing studied under the famous Confucian Xu Xuan of the dynasty, which is a very glorious thing, because this Xu Daru is not only outstanding in literature, but also a great thinker, philosopher, and a true disciple of program Taoism. And Yu Chaoqing had a classmate relationship with Xu Xuan when his father was a teenager, and he had good qualifications.

Yu Chaoqing was embarrassed: "It's not qualified enough." ”

It turned out that it was so difficult to use a meal in Confucianism, and she had to talk about qualifications, so she asked curiously: "Then who is qualified to use it?" ”

"Yu Chongli also." Yu Chaoqing replied, with a look of respect on his face.

Jiang Sumei naturally didn't know who this person was, she only knew that he was Yu Chaoqing's fellow senior brother, since he was qualified, it can be seen that his knowledge should be extremely haode.

Mrs. Yu urged the two to eat: "It's going to be cold, let's talk about it after eating." ”

Yu Chaoqing smiled: "The insect girl is here, and my mother has a good amount of food, and she eats most of the bowl." ”

"No, if I knew this was the case, I should have begged the girl to come." Zhang's mother distributed vegetables for the three of them, although there were few people, but the rules were still not chaotic.

A meal was eaten in harmony and pleasantly.

Jiang Sumei stayed here for three days, and was going to go back, but she happened to meet Yu Chaoqing resting, and she was happy to stay for another day, and the two were chatting in the study.

Jiang Sumei wrote a note to Yu Chaoqing, he was very surprised, and praised: "Worm Niang, the writing is so good!" But he shook his head, "It's just too sleek." ”

Jiang Sumei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly bitterly.

If it wasn't for the sake of pleasing her grandfather, why would she have written it like this?

"Then I'll rewrite it." She puffed up her chest and took another piece of plain paper and laid it out.

Yu Chaoqing saw that she was serious, the corners of his mouth twitched, he said a good word, rolled up his wide sleeves and polished her ink.

She held the pen, put the pen down, her little face was dignified, her movements were smooth, and after a while, she actually wrote a pair of wild grass.

Yu Chaoqing saw that the handwriting was uninhibited, and there was the power of a knife, and the cliff was steep, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously after a while: "Worm Niang, did you really practice this character yourself?" ”

"Well," she blinked, "which one does my uncle think is better?" ”

The woman's handwriting is so perverse, I am afraid that it will make people feel unhappy, not to mention, Jiang Sumei's parents are also dead, although Yu Chaoqing is a noble person, but he is not a person who does not understand the world.

He thought for a while, and only after a while did his eyes fall on Jiang Sumei's face, and said slowly: "Worm Niang, let's write it as it was originally, and the latter one, just show it to my uncle." ”

Jiang Sumei grinned and nodded.
