Chapter 4 Affection Rises
When he came to Jiang Laozu's residence in the East Courtyard, Jiang Laozu looked at his granddaughter and was so happy that he immediately asked the maid to bring Jiang Xue's favorite candied fruit.
"Xiaocui, go and take out our second lady's favorite candied snacks or something." Jiang Laozu looked at Jiang Xue, his eyes narrowed, and he was very happy.
"Thank you grandmother, wow, so much delicious, grandmother is so good to Cher." Jiang Xue picked it up and ate it casually, talking as she spoke.
"Hehehe, Xue'er likes to eat, grandmother keeps it, just waiting for you to come. Don't worry, there are a lot more, eat slowly, and someone will send them to you. The old lady said.
When Jiang Xue heard this, she waved her hand again and again: "No, no, grandmother, don't get used to me, you will spoil me, in the future, Xue'er will not be called Xue'er, but Xueqiu" Jiang Xue said strangely.
A room full of maids were amused, and Mrs. Jiang was also amused by this eccentric Jiang Xue, "Hahaha, what a snowball, silly girl, there are so many of these things, my grandmother is old, and she can't eat these things." Kun'er has been doing business abroad all the year round, and your second sister is married to Cangzhou, and now Xue'er is alone in front of her grandmother, and she doesn't give my Xue'er to anyone, Xue'er loves to eat, so she gives it to Xue'er. Old Madam Jiang touched her granddaughter's hair lovingly.
"If this body can survive until I see Cher turn into a 'snowball', that's not bad, haha."
"What does grandmother say, grandmother will definitely live a long life, no, Chitose, the wind boy will definitely be able to cure you."
"Huh?" Old Madam Jiang pretended to be suspicious, "You're not a doctor, you promise?" ”
"I've met him, and I've known him well, he's amazing, I promise, haven't you been feeling better lately?"
"Well, it seems to be, just believe Cher."
The grandfather and grandson laughed happily, and the maid Xiaocui brought another plate of figs, "The second lady is really amazing, every time the old lady comes, she is very happy." ”
"That's it, everyone else will only be angry with me, an old woman, only our Xue'er is the most well-behaved." A room full of maids was amused by this warm interaction.
"Xue'er is almost nineteen before you know it, do you have anyone you like?" Old Madam Jiang began to ask Jiang Xue.
"Grandmother said nothing, not yet, but soon." Jiang Xue replied shyly.
"What do you mean yet, it's fast again, yes yes, no yes, no yes, tell me who it is, let grandmother help you see it." Old Madam Jiang said anxiously.
"It's still early, oh, grandmother, don't ask again-" Jiang Xue was shy and didn't want to say.
"Okay, well, our Xue'er has grown up and has a sweetheart, grandmother understands, don't ask, don't ask, but the daughter's family should pay attention to their reputation, don't be too arrogant-"
"Oh grandmother, Xue'er knows, don't say it anymore."
"Okay, good, grandmother doesn't say, hehehe"
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Xiao Cui came in and said, "Old lady, second lady, the breeze boy has come to administer the needle." ”
"Ask Childe to come in."
Leng Fufeng entered the house, followed by Xiao Fu, who was actually a little child, about fifteen or sixteen years old, saluted Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xue together, and Leng Fufeng greeted: "Old lady, second miss." ”
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, it's troublesome for Childe." The old lady said with a smile.
"The old lady is serious." The little boy handed over the medicine box, and after speaking, he opened the medicine box, Xiao Cui helped the old lady to lie on the couch, and prepared for the old lady before the needle, and all the maids except Xiao Cui retreated to the outhouse and waited.
"Can I help?" Jiang Xue asked.
Leng Fufeng concentrated on preparing needles, disinfection and other preparations, and said: "It is enough to administer needles to Mrs. Jiang in the next place, thank you for your kindness." ”
Jiang Xue heard the "oh" sound, felt that she was being ignored, and stepped aside stupidly. Quietly watching the cold breeze to see my grandmother's doctor.
Jiang Xue's eyes changed with the movement of the cold breeze, from the moment she entered the door, Jiang Xue's words and deeds changed, Old Madam Jiang looked at them one by one, she had seen so many things, she could see Jiang Xue's thoughts at a glance, but she didn't say anything. Since then, every time the cold breeze applies needles to the old lady, the second lady of the Jiang family must be present.
As Mrs. Jiang's condition gradually improved, the reputation of Gongzi Fufeng gradually spread in Jiangzhou, blocking everyone watching the play.
Usually Mrs. Jiang will also ask Mrs. Breeze some interesting things about his travels, and Mr. Breeze will tell the old lady one by one, Jiang Xue often accompanies Mrs. Jiang and listens to a lot of stories. Jiang Xue learned from this that there are many far places in the world in addition to Jiangzhou and Cangzhou in Donghua, Jiang Xue has never been out of Donghua, and has seen people and things outside Donghua in the book, Jiang Xue feels very interesting, and is more and more attracted by the Wind Boy, the Wind Boy's experience is learned, and the temperament of talking is deeply attracted to Jiang Xue.
On this day, the two came out of the east courtyard, and the two chatted casually on the road.
"I really envy you, you can travel all over the world, I have never been out of Donghua."
"There is always a chance, the Jiang family has businesses all over the world, and it is very convenient to go out." The cold breeze comforted Jiang Xuedao.
"Hey, but, Donghua has always been, women's status is generally relatively low, Donghua believes that women are virtuous without talent, although women from large families will also learn some poetry, books, etiquette and music, that is just to show status, when it comes to the age of marriage, without exception, they are followed by a family and children, three from four virtues, women are also proud of marrying into good families, a little powerful men are proud of their wives and concubines, and some powerful men are proud of their wives' excellence. It is because the girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet, their families will try their best to train their daughters according to the preferences of the men, and the men do not love their wives and concubines to show their heads outside, thinking that women should be husbands and children, and if their women show their heads outside, they will appear useless, so in their opinion, women who show their heads outside are lowly and forced by life. Jiang Xue said helplessly.
"But Miss Jiang was born into a business family, and Jiang's capital seems to be a well-informed person."
"That's the way it is, but no matter what, it's still in Donghua, and I've already passed the coming-of-age ceremony, and my father has begun to restrict me from leaving the house." Jiang Xue said with a sigh.
Like Jiang Xue, who was recognized by the royal capital in Donghua and gave Bai Yuxiao, she is unique. Many people say that it is because of the background of the Jiang family, but more importantly, Jiang Xueyin's legal attainments are really good, and they have been affirmed by Taixue, the highest university in Donghua. But after all, he is in Donghua, so Jiang Shoufu is still very strict with his daughter, and he doesn't let them go out at will, so as not to be gossiped about. Jiang Xue has never been to the outside world because of this, and she yearns for the customs and customs in the story of the Wind Blower.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, Yayuan has arrived, and I will go back to accompany my mother to eat earlier."
"Okay, please."
"Hmm." Jiang Xue turned to leave, and the breeze boy looked at Jiang Xue's back and felt a little sad, Donghua's woman, ha, is this so.
In her spare time, Jiang Xue always made a special trip to Yayuan to beg the breeze boy to tell more stories. Or exchange music together, Jiang Xue plays the flute, Ya Gongzi plays the flute, and after a long time, the second lady of the Jiang family began to report that the second lady of the Jiang family chased the wind boy.
"Sir, hehehe, oops, the old man has been busy lately, snubbing sir, forgive me, forgive me"
"The capital's words are serious, the capital, please have something to say."
"Uh, Mr. direct, then I won't go around the bend, there have been rumors about the little girl Jiang Xue Mansion recently, the little girl has not come out of the cabinet, this reputation is always very important, the little girl is not sensible, so please sir——"
"I only be a second lady and a little girl in the next, and the meaning of the capital lord is understood, and the capital lord can rest assured that I know how to do it."
"Mr. is a cheerful person, then it will be troublesome, it will bring trouble to Mr., and the old man is also ashamed, if Mr. has any needs, just ask"
"No, it's a little thoughtful and rude."
"Master, there is a letter in Wangcheng." The servants came in to give a report.
"The old man still has important business, so he will leave first, sir, please."
"Please."
Master Jiang only had two wives, one wife and one concubine. There are fewer children, the eldest son is doing business abroad all the year round, the second daughter Jiang Wan has been married to Chu Yan, the eldest son of Chu Huan, the general of the dynasty, and the third Jiang Xue is the pearl of Jiang Shoufu, so he is very cautious about the choice of son-in-law, and there are a lot of princes and nobles who come to propose a few years ago, but Jiang Shoufu has rejected Jiang Xue Wangcheng one by one on the grounds of learning art, and now he has to think about it.
