Chapter 8: Opportunity to show up

The two wrote for a while, but when Jiang Sumei went out, she met someone at the door.

It was a thin young man, with a pale complexion, slender eyebrows and eyes, as if he could fall down when the wind blew it.

"Buming, it's you!" Yu Chaoqing heard the movement, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Worm Niang, do you know him?" ”

Jiang Sumei shook her head.

She didn't know her at all.

Li Buming also shook his head, puzzled: "Who is she?" ”

"She's my niece, and your cousin, haven't you seen her?" Yu Chaoqing was surprised.

As soon as Li Buming was told by him, he remembered that he did have this person in his mind, but he had always heard that she was sick and weak and did not leave the boudoir, so naturally he had not seen her.

Jiang Sumei smiled slightly: "Xu was too young when I saw him before, so I don't remember." ”

Li Buming also took the opportunity to say: "That's probably the case, is the third cousin in good health?" ”

"Okay, thank you for your concern." Jiang Sumei still doesn't understand who this young man is, if her cousin is from the Li family or the Jin family?

Then she didn't want to care even more, so she said: "Presumably my cousin is looking for my uncle, I won't bother, uncle, I'll go see grandma." ”

Yu Chaoqing nodded.

Jiang Sumei smiled at Li Buming again and left.

Li Buming couldn't help but think of what his aunt had mentioned, as if this cousin was weak and withdrawn, and he couldn't see anyone, but this was not the case when he saw it today.

She's a cheerful girl.

As soon as this day passed, Jiang Sumei was going back to Jiang's house.

Mrs. Yu was reluctant, holding her hand and telling this and that, Jiang Sumei has been living comfortably and happily these days, as free as returning to her home in her previous life, and now she is sad to leave.

The grandfather and grandson cried.

Zhang's mother saw the Jiang family's carriage coming, helped her up, and watched her leave.

Mrs. Yu wiped her eyes and said: "I don't know when I will be able to see her, in another year or two, I will be older, and I don't know what kind of relationship I will have, I can't say that I will go there a few times in the future." ”

"Old lady, what's out of the way, the girl is your own granddaughter, the old lady wants to see it, isn't it natural?" Zhang's mother was a little angry and said, "Anyway, the in-laws are in the capital now, if it weren't for him, our aunt and grandmother would have been able to marry him?" zuihou still can't fall a good! ”

Mrs. Yu couldn't help but cry again.

Zhang's mother regretted again: "It's the old slave who talks a lot, it's also a matter of the past, but the Jiang family is good to the girl now, every time I go back, there is no bad treatment, the old lady can rest assured." ”

Mrs. Yu sighed: "I don't have any ideas, I just hope that the insect girl and Chaoqing will be good, and I will see the master and Xiuzhen in the future, and I can also have a face." ”

"Old lady, you don't have a place to be complained, and the uncle and the girl will definitely have a good life in the future."

Zhang's mother comforted her and helped the old lady in.

When Jiang Sumei arrived at Jiang's house, it was evening.

At the second gate, I saw Jin's mother.

Jiang Sumei was startled, Mother Jin is the old lady's confidant, this time she came to greet her in person, isn't it convulsive?

Mother Jin smiled and said, "The girl has been going for the past few days, how happy are you doing?" ”

Jiang Sumei smiled and nodded, not saying much.

Mother Jin saw that her face was cheerful, and she didn't look like she was going to complain, so she felt strange, so she said, "The old lady also said that when Mrs. Yu is well, please come over and play." ”

Looking at her sentence after sentence, as if there was a temptation, Jiang Sumei replied: "Uncle is usually not at home, grandma is also strangely lonely, it's always good to walk more, it's a shame for grandmother to think of it, no wonder they all say that grandmother is kind-hearted, grandma is also very relieved to see me like this, I was afraid that I have no father and no mother, and I am not as good as others." ”

Although these words were complimenting the old lady, Mother Jin was a little embarrassed.

She is by the old lady's side, where do you not know the master's thoughts, Mother Jin smiled: "The girl is also tired, the old lady ordered, please be safe, don't go back and rest." ”

Jiang Sumei went directly back to the second room.

Several maids came to greet them.

Jiang Sumei asked them to do their own things, and only entered the bedroom with Cui Yu.

"How many days has the girl been there, how is the old lady doing?" Cui Yu asked with concern.

"The illness is cured, but ......" Jiang Sumei thought of the Yu family's desolation, where it looked like a big family, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really sleepy, grandma wears a patched inner lining, and the plain paper used by my uncle is not haode." ”

"So what to do?" Cui Yu frowned, "The girl's private money has already been borrowed, so she can't go back to the pawnshop to make things." ”

Back then, Yu Xiuzhen used up the dowry, but there were still some left, such as jewelry, jade pendants, expensive flowers and wood furniture and other valuable things, if they were gone, there were still hundreds of taels.

Jiang Sumei shook her head: "That's not it, fortunately, Zhang's mother has a good family, and she can get by for the time being, just look at my uncle's spring next year." ”

Once you are in the Jinshi, there is a bright road ahead, and it is always easy to improve.

Cui Yu was thoughtful, and suddenly said eagerly: "Girl, I heard that the eldest lady wants to take you to the Wang family to enjoy the flowers." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Sumei was surprised and a little delighted, what does this mean to let her show up? But soon she became suspicious again, because the old lady did not like her.

If Li wants to take her, he must get the old lady's approval.

"Who is the Wang family?" She asked Cui Yu.

Cui Yu was dazed and ashamed: "The slave maid has just heard about it, and I don't know who the Wang family is." ”

She is a person in the second room, and she used to be like entering a cold palace, and she followed the cold bench, and the news was naturally very closed, so even if the Wang family had dealings with the Jiang family, she didn't know very well.

Jiang Sumei thought for a while and asked, "How about Cailian and those three girls?" ”

"It's all very haode, the girl is not in these days, Cailian has never left the yard, and she also helps the slave and maid discipline a few mothers-in-law who don't know the rules. As for the three girls, the slave maid looks at Qinghe as the most steady, although Baozhu has a lively temperament, she doesn't have a charter to speak, she is a little timid, but she is very serious. ”

During this time, Cui Yu had already figured out the habits of the three girls, and Jiang Sumei said: "In this way, let Qinghe and Taoye be third-class girls, and the treasure bead will be the same as the fruit for the time being." ”

Their girl's family, unmarried, does not need a first-class maid ring in the room, two second-class, two third-class, and the rest of the rough girl, mother-in-law, one yard is enough.

"You go and call Cailian." Jiang Sumei commanded.

Cui Yu went.

Picking lotus saluted and stood quietly aside.

Jiang Sumei asked, "Do you know the Wang family who has dealings with our family?" This is the one who invited you to enjoy the flowers. ”

Cai Lian thought for a while: "The slave knows that Lord Wang is in the middle of the court. ”

"What's going on with their family?" She continued to ask.

Cai Lian is in the big house in the end, although it is not very important, but the information in his hand is more than the people in the second room combined, after listening to her, Jiang Sumei fell into deep thought.

At the old lady's place, Mother Jin was reporting: "There is no need for the old slave to say, the third girl also knows that the old lady is good." Meaning, there is no possibility of complaining at all.

The old lady snorted, "It's interesting." ”

Sure enough, on the second day, the old man asked Jiang Sumei about going to Yu's house, and she didn't mention the situation of the Yu family at all, only saying that Mrs. Yu was in good health, and Yu Chaoqing studied very hard.

The old man told the old lady to invite his in-laws to come and sit in the house.

The old lady agreed.

After three days, it was the day to go to Wang's house to enjoy the flowers.

The ladies and daughters of the Jiang family gathered together, and Jiang Sumei found that Jiang Nianmei and Jiang Huamei did not come, but the latter was grounded, and just when she was strange, the Wu family couldn't wait to question the Li family.

Li Shi was embarrassed: "What can I do, Sister Nian was already uncomfortable some time ago, how can I take her there?" ”

"Who are you fooling, just now that you're uncomfortable?" Wu Shi turned around and said to Caifeng, "The girl didn't just cough yesterday, hurry up and go back, what are you doing in a daze!" ”

Caifeng is Jiang Mengmei's personal ring, and when she heard this, she immediately went up to support Jiang Mengmei.

The old lady frowned, slapped the table and reprimanded: "What are you doing, the Wang family is so good that we invite us to enjoy the flowers, the five girls are here, what are you going to do back?" Help the girl to get in the car, don't delay the time. ”

"Mother," the Wu family was aggrieved and wanted to shed tears, "that Mrs. Wang is obviously going to ......"

"Shut up!" The old lady said, "The girls are here, what are you talking about?" "The first to go out.

Wu couldn't do anything, so he flicked his handkerchief and followed.

Jiang Sumei also went out, Jiang Huamei walked next to her and said in a low voice: "Third sister, you have to be careful, don't talk much if you have nothing to do." ”

Jiang Sumei said: "You are the same. ”

"I'm nothing, Hengzhu is a concubine, and people don't look down on it." Jiang Huamei smiled slightly, "It's just to accompany them." ”

Jiang Su Mei Waner.

The Wang family is not far from here, and it is only a car ride away from a cup of tea.

Everyone got out of the car one after another.

With a few maids and daughters-in-law in, Jiang Sumei looked around and found that the yard was new, obviously renovated, and the pattern was also good, with scattered flowers and trees, which was quite attractive.

However, compared to the Jiang family, it is still a little smaller.

Mrs. Wang came to greet her in person.

The old lady smiled: "I've wanted to see the plum garden here for a long time, but I didn't expect this blessing!" ”

Although the courtyard that falls in the East Chang'an Street is not big, but one of the plum gardens, there are no people in the capital who do not know, because there are many rare varieties planted, when it comes to the beginning of spring, the plum blossoms bloom, the pieces of beautiful shadows, the fragrance is full of gardens, it is amazing, how many talented people paint for this, and hang up the study of many people's homes.

"Where is the old lady, this garden is quiet early, and someone comes to see it, so it's just a good time to live." Madame Wang said, her eyes swept back.

As a result, no matter how I looked, I didn't see Jiang Nianmei, there was only one eldest girl who had already set up a family, a third girl in the second room and another honest fifth girl, and a sixth girl who was a concubine.

Mrs. Wang's face was not as good as before.

Li Shi hurriedly said: "Sister Nian has a cold, she has been dizzy and swollen for a few days, taking medicine, and she is not well today, so she didn't bring it, Mu Mei, three girls, five girls, six girls, you haven't seen Mrs. Wang?" ”

Mrs. Wang is not a stupid person, she doesn't know what the Jiang family means, this is a polite refusal, not letting Jiang Nianmei marry into the Wang family.

Mrs. Wang was a little angry, not to mention the five girls in the third room, what is the girl in the second room, a father and mother, and a brother who doesn't have one, how can she ask for it, she really underestimates their family!

Is there only one Jiang Nianmei in the world?

Her face was slightly cold, but she was still amiable on the surface, and she had to be an official wife to have an awareness and never easily grudge with others.

Everyone laughed and went to the plum garden.
