Chapter 23: The Arrival of the Princess

All the wives and girls were amazed at the generosity of Mrs. Yu's hands, such a large Nanzhu was worth a lot of money, so she gave it away.

But it's no wonder that she has such a style, the Yu family has a history of hundreds of years, and there are people in the family who are not officials who have started to do business a long time ago, involving many industries, and there have always been people in the DPRK and China, so how can it be unreasonable? Over the years, I don't know how much wealth I have accumulated.

The Yu family likes to keep a low profile, and they usually never show off these, so they didn't cause anything, and they are safe until now.

Seeing that Jiang Sumei received these rewards and was praised by the wives, the faces of the Li family and the Wu family were a little gloomy, they also had daughters, and at this time, they completely disappeared into the crowd, as if they did not exist.

The Li family is better, after all, Jiang Nianmei's calligraphy is not as good as Jiang Sumei, which is also a fact, but in normal times, Jiang Nianmei is always the most brilliant.

So the most annoyed is still the Wu family.

Jiang Mengmei is also a concubine, why is her daughter who was carefully raised not as good as a little girl without parents? Wu couldn't stand it, and rolled his eyes and said: "It's not too interesting just to do this, it's better to let the girls compare with others, my sister Meng plays the piano very well." ”

Li's squinted eyes were not as good as half of Jiang Nianmei's, and she was embarrassed to take it out to show her ugliness, but she didn't stop herself, just so that her daughter would also be in the limelight.

The Wu family came from a small family, and he was able to marry into the Jiang family because Jiang Zhaonian's reputation in the capital was not very good, and he couldn't find a suitable daughter-in-law, so he reluctantly married her. Besides, Jiang Mengmei was very timid at first glance, often cowering in the corner, and they were not interested in listening to her play the piano, so a wife said: "I'm a little tired, let's rest for a while." ”

The other wives chimed in.

Wu's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and he was half angry to death, cursing those wives in his heart for having no vision.

Second Mrs. Yu was busy playing the round: "It's good to play the piano, I think the fifth girl Jiang is very cute, it's better to wait until the meal is over, and the kitchen will be ready in a while." ”

Wu is more comfortable.

Jiang Sumei looked curiously at Mrs. Yu who was sitting next to Mrs. Yu Er.

Mrs. Yu Liu rarely speaks, the nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth are very deep, and she looks quite old-fashioned, most of this party is presided over by Mrs. Yu, she rarely speaks a sentence or two, I heard that there is only one son under her knees, who has married a wife, has a five-year-old grandson, and has no daughter.

As for the young lady Yu, it seems that she is not in good health and has been sick for a while, so she did not come out.

Now that I think about it, the heirs of the Yu family are also thin, and they may have a larger population in the side lineage, which is the same as the Jiang family.

The current population of the Jiang family is not large, and many relatives are in Jiangxi.

It's just that after the Jiang Ge Lao was promoted, the family moved to the capital, but Jiang Ge Lao's wife and children and his younger brother's family were moved, and the Jiang family's eldest and second brother still stayed in the Jiang family to serve the second elder, and later Jiang Ge's younger brother also became a big official, so he moved out of this house.

After a few decades, the population of Jiang's younger brother gradually withered, and in the second generation, there was only one son, and in these three generations, there was simply no son, and there was only one daughter, Jiang Yun, to be called, Jiang Sumei had to call her cousin, who was about the same age as Old Man Jiang.

This grandmother married into the Yang family in the capital, and later the Yang family came out with a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Yang, who was her nephew, who was originally the mediakeeper for Jiang Ye, but unfortunately, Lord Yang was transferred to Shandong last year because of a case of embezzlement of ink, and I don't know how it is now.

She thought about it a little, only to hear a sudden commotion around her, and when she looked up, she didn't know when, there was a noble old woman.

The old woman smiled and said, "It's late, because there is something at home, it has dragged on until now, and you haven't eaten yet?" ”

Second Mrs. Yu haha smiled: "You are always thinking about the meal, there will be no shortage of you, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare the Eight Immortals Duck Tongue, to ensure that you love to eat, come, please sit down, see you are sweating when you go." ”

The two are very intimate.

The wives came up to salute them one by one.

It turns out that this old woman is the old princess, she is the cousin of Mrs. Yu, and the relationship is far away.

Speaking of respecting the old prince, he was the younger brother of the first emperor, that is, the uncle of the current saint, he is the only prince who stayed in Beijing, although he was not an official, but the first emperor relied on him very much, and now the old man Jing died, and the eldest son inherited the prince, which was to respect the king.

This King Jing and the emperor are cousins, he also stayed in the capital, and the emperor grew up together, so it can be said that the emperor trusts him very much.

However, the situation today is somewhat complicated.

These subtleties can only be understood but not spoken, and of course, many people who are not politically sensitive will probably never be aware of them.

Jiang Sumei sat on the chair, laughed with the girls from time to time, and after a while, the meal began.

A total of four tables were set up in the house, and all kinds of delicacies were served like water.

The fragrance wafts through the air, seducing the cravings in everyone's stomach.

Jiang Huamei took a pair of chopsticks and praised them again and again: "It's delicious, it's much better than what our chef makes!" ”

Jiang Sumei also tasted a few bites and thought so.

Just when they were halfway through eating and drinking, King Jing knocked on the door of Yufu's study.

There, there is Yu Manjushri.

From then on, the story between the two of them will begin.

Whether it is a friend, a comrade-in-arms, or a person who has come to Zuihou, you live or die, this intricate relationship will go down in history.

And this day is not far away.

In the flower hall, everyone ran out of food one after another, and the party was coming to an end......

This time, Jiang Rumei finally didn't make any excessive moves, even if a character like the old princess appeared, she was very calm. Both the Li family and the Wu family were very strange and surprised by her transformation, in fact, Jiang Rumei's heart was naturally not so calm.

Although she is a concubine, because of Aunt Luo's relationship, her news is very well-informed, and she knows some of the big names in the capital, and the name of King Jing is also ranked among them, and she is relatively high.

After all, he is a relative of the emperor, and he has a childhood affection with the emperor, and he is very important, and recently the emperor has handed over some military power to him, so he is more popular than the Yu family.

For Jiang Rumei, the biggest temptation of King Jing is that his wife died three years ago and has not yet remarried.

The two maids around her were very excited, but Jiang Rumei tried her best to calm down.

This time, she can't be grounded anymore, if she misses, the old lady will never spare her if she knows, then she will really have to be locked up until she gets married.

So, she should be cautious, and be cautious!

Jiang Rumei admonished herself.

The meeting was soon over.

All the wives and girls took their leave.

Li had a very happy conversation with Mrs. Yu this time, she felt that it was very possible to get married, and when Mrs. Yu left, she also pulled her to talk for a while.

For this reason, the Li family was complacent, and the Wu family was full of resentment, glaring at Jiang Mengmei with eyes from time to time, hating her for not being angry, such a good opportunity was wasted!

I don't know what kind of sin I have created, marrying such a father-in-law, being looked down upon all my life, my son was not born, and my daughter is so unproductive, the more Wu thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and his face is about to be deformed.

Jiang Mengmei only lowered her head, timidly stirred her handkerchief, and didn't dare to say a word.

zuihou, their daughter-in-law left with the old princess

When their palanquins were carried out one after another, the people could see King Jing outside the gate, and he was waiting for the old princess to go together.

King Jing is more than thirty years old, not young, but the confidence in his body, full of charm, plus the appearance is quite upright, it is still quite attractive, those maids follow the sedan chair, they saw it, and turned around and whispered to their own girl.

Jiang Sumei didn't have any thoughts when she heard it, so what happened to King Jing, it didn't matter to her head.

However, she has some guesses about the current situation of the Yu family.

In short, it is not very optimistic.

Her sedan chair also passed by slowly.

Who expected that there was a sudden "boom" from behind, and the sound was so loud that all the people nearby were attracted to it.

Jiang Sumei hurriedly asked the maid outside through the sedan curtain: "What's the matter?" ”

It sounds like something heavy has hit the ground.

But Cuiyu didn't know a few, but Cai Lian ran over to take a look, and then came back and said in a strange tone: "It turned out that the sedan chair of the four girls was broken, and I don't know how the sedan chair man carried it, but it was crooked, and the four girls fell out of it." ”

Jiang Sumei was stunned.

According to her usual complicated thoughts, after thinking about it a little, she felt that Jiang Rumei must have used some means, but what did she do? How does it work? It's not easy to make the sedan chair fall down, is it really the sedan chair driver's problem?

Cai Lian said softly: "King Jing has passed."

I see!

Jiang Sumei said: "Cailian, you go and see if the fourth sister is injured, if so, you have to ask a doctor quickly." ”

Cailian immediately went.

When she came back, she replied: "King Jing invited the four girls to sit in the carriage of King Jing's mansion, and they will be sent back to the mansion." ”

Jiang Sumei nodded, and let the sedan chair continue to move forward.

When she was on the road, she thought to herself, I don't know if this time, Jiang Rumei will fulfill her wish?
