Chapter 124, the Jiang family's plan
"Okay, listen to you."
"I'm telling my father."
"You, don't worry, my mother knows." Jiang was made lose his temper by Su Xizhu, and when he came back at night to tell Su Che about it, the couple was a little funny.
When Su Xizhu and his party arrived at the Jiang family, it happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the eldest lady of the Jiang family, who was also the sister-in-law of the Jiang family, Niu Shi, was waiting at the second gate.
"Little sister, I haven't seen you for many years, but I miss my sister-in-law." Niu Shi took Jiang's hand, his eyes were red, and he looked very worried.
"Sister-in-law." Jiang has not seen his mother's family for many years, and he is also very touched.
"This is to ask Brother and Sister Zhu, they have grown so big." Niu Shi watched Su Wen and Su Xizhu give a meeting gift, and the two also greeted Niu.
"I'm going to see my father first, because my mother knows that you're coming back and is in a much better spirit." The Niu family led the Jiang family to the old lady's room, and Su Che also arrived accompanied by the Jiang family's uncle.
Su Wen and Su Xizhu greeted their uncle, and when they entered the house, the first thing that caught their eyes was an old man with gray hair and a fat body, this person should be the old lady of the Jiang family, Su Xizhu's maternal grandfather Jiang Hai.
There is a group of people on Jiang Hai's right hand, it should be the second uncle's family, and the eldest uncle's family is on the left-hand side, when Su Xizhu looked at them, the other party was also looking at Su Xizhu and his party, but when he saw Su Xizhu, there were two boys whose faces were ugly.
"I've seen my father." "I've seen my grandfather." Su Che and the others saluted Master Jiang.
"Okay, Xinniang looks at everything well, it's all the credit of my aunt, Brother Wen and Sister Zhu are also so old, this is my grandfather's gift to you." Jiang Hai was very happy to see his daughter's family.
"Thank you, grandfather." Su Wen and Su Xizhu saluted, and then greeted each other with the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family, and after giving each other gifts, Jiang was worried that his mother was not in the mood to catch up.
"Dad, what's wrong with my mother? Didn't you write during the Mid-Autumn Festival saying that you were in good health? Why was it suddenly bad years ago? ”
"Hey, your mother is old, and the subordinates are not careful, she accidentally fell a foot, she is now drinking medicine and sleeping, and you will see you again when you wake up at night, you are also tired, go and rest first."
Jiang Hai simply told his daughter's family about the old wife, Su Che and Jiang's faces were not good, and the old man was afraid of falling, but no matter how worried he was now, he could only wait until the old lady woke up to see her.
Su Che and the others arrived at the dean before Jiang's marriage, and it was well taken care of by the Niu family, and the Jiang family was very grateful to the Niu family.
"It's all as it should be, since my sister got married, no one has lived in this yard, and my father and mother have always let us take care of it."
Jiang's eyes were slightly red, and Su Che patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, mother-in-law will be fine." ”
On the other side, the two girls of the Jiang family's generation were chatting in the language of flowers at this time, and the relationship between the two was not good at ordinary times, but at this time they were extremely harmonious.
"I thought that the daughter of Houmen was so noble and beautiful, who knew that Cousin Bamboo was actually like this, it was not as good as the daughter of our merchant's family, Cousin Bamboo, Cousin Pig, it is still appropriate." It was Jiang Lin, the concubine of the Jiang family's big house, who spoke.
"Isn't it? I'm looking forward to it, it's a shame to take out a handkerchief to see us. The one who replied was Jiang Ke, the concubine of the Jiang family's second room.
The Jiang family is a merchant and does not pay much attention to the concubine, and the Jiang family has Jiang in this generation
Lin Jiangke is two girls, so the degree of food and clothing is about the same, and the two have been comparing with each other, but this time they are the same.
"Forget it, go back, it's a waste of the gift I prepared." Jiang Lin lost interest in chatting and turned away, and Jiang Ke also felt bored and left.
"Second brother, you are the elder brother, of course you should get married first." Jiang Shouxin, the third young master of the Jiang family, looked at the second young master Jiang Shouyan and said.
"We're more than a month apart, and besides, didn't you say before Cousin Zhu came, that I was the elder brother and wanted to be polite to the younger brother, I think you are very right." Jiang Shouyan retorted.
It turned out that the Jiang family did have the idea of letting their grandson marry Su Xizhu, Jiang Shouyan and Jiang Shouxin were fighting for this marriage before they saw Su Xizhu, after all, it was the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and it was no harm for them to marry Su Xizhu for a hundred miles.
Although the family has thought of many countermeasures in order to allow them to marry Su Xizhu smoothly, what is not to accept concubines and buy houses, but to marry the noble daughter of the Hou Mansion, Jiang Shouyan and Jiang Shouxin also agreed, and besides, they are businessmen, and others will not know when they buy an outer room in the field when the time comes.
Originally, Jiang Shouyan and Jiang Shouxin had a lot of trouble because of this matter, but the big room and the second room also had dirty, but now that they saw Su Xizhu, they both regretted it and wanted to kick each other out, after all, their aesthetics were normal, and they were really not interested in a fat little girl like Su Xizhu who hadn't grown up yet.
The two wanted to marry the beautiful lady of the Hou Mansion but didn't want to marry a fat man, so now they reversed their previous attitude and humbled each other.
"Forget it, in the end, it depends on what your grandparents say." Jiang Shouyan sighed, after all, when he and Jiang Shouxin were fighting before, his grandfather and grandmother didn't decide on a good person, and he wanted them to contact Su Xizhu first, and then it would be up to the other party to choose whom. Now, I'm afraid it's not just for them to be humble.
Jiang Shouyan and Jiang Shouxin both decided not to please Su Xizhu, and tried not to show their faces in front of each other, as for the family's final decision on who to marry Su Xizhu, they could only accept their fate, but they didn't dare to destroy Su Xizhu's impression of them, otherwise the family would definitely use family law.
Su Xizhu didn't know what the Jiang family thought of her, and she didn't know that because of her round figure, the people who were originally vying to marry her had changed, lying on the bed, Su Xizhu wanted to be a little white, and she also wanted to pity them.
Xiaobai lazily lay on the recliner where Su Xizhu usually took a nap, and occasionally heard a sound and raised his head to meow, and then he was very disappointed to lie down and eat a bite of the small dried fish that Xile prepared for it next to him, hey, on the Nth day of the shovel officer's absence, I miss her.
Because today is the fifteenth, it just so happens that the Jiang family is also going to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Su Che and others, so the whole family eats together, no matter what the Jiang family thinks in their hearts, but they are still intimate with the Jiang family and his party on the face.
Su Xizhu's maternal grandmother didn't wake up today, and she only fed some ginseng soup at dinner, so Su Xizhu didn't see each other, and returned to the yard after eating.
"Sister, I don't know if it's my delusion, although my grandfather's family is very kind, but I just feel that something is not right." Su Wen scratched his head.
"Me too, you and the Jiang family's cousins should be more careful when they get along, and you should avoid suspicion of the two cousins."
Su Xizhu found that when eating, Jiang Lin and Jiang Ke asked Su Qian, but they were all kinds of shy and timid, but the Jiang family kept his word and kept his word, but his cousin was the same
I'm afraid I'll notice what they're looking like.
Su Xizhu's eyes narrowed slightly, I'm afraid that the Jiang family really has the heart to marry their own family back, and the cousin who keeps his word and keeps his word is afraid that he doesn't take a fancy to him? So what is the Jiang family going to do?
The Jiang family first hit Su Xizhu's idea and did not choose Su Wen because Su Wen was the young master of the Hou Mansion, and the Jiang family was able to marry Su Che back then because Jiang Hai had a life-saving grace for the old Hou Ye, but now the Jiang family does not have this kind of kindness to let the young master of the Hou Mansion take a merchant lady.
Su Xizhu is different, the Jiang family loves her daughter, the daughter marries into the Jiang family, the Jiang family has to hold Su Xizhu, there is a promise not to accept concubines and not to have a room, the old lady is making a force, the probability of success in this matter is very high, who knows that when I look at Su Xizhu today, the Niu family and the Pan family are very disappointed, not to mention their two sons.
Su Xizhu looked at his stupid brother, afraid that the Jiang family would run into a wall on his side and calculate Su asked, it would not be beautiful to have a reputation when the time came.
"Sister, don't worry, I will let Xiaoshi follow me every step of the way." Although Su Wen didn't quite know why his sister said this, he listened to Su Xizhu's words very much, and Su Xizhu looked at Su Wen and assured that he was in a good mood.
Early the next morning, Jiang took Su Wen and Su Xizhu to the old lady's room early, and just when the old lady woke up, Jiang looked at her emaciated mother and burst into tears.
"Mother."
"It's Xin Niang, my mother's Xin Niang." The old lady's voice was very weak, and she could see that she was really bad.
"Mother, my daughter is not filial." Jiang knelt on the ground, and Su Wen and Su Xizhu also knelt on the ground.
In fact, Jiang was originally quite favored in his mother's family, although the family favored sons over daughters, but Jiang was the only concubine after all, and she had a good life.
Jiang didn't want to marry into the Hou Mansion of Annan back then, after all, she was married far away and entered the Hou family, Qi Dafei Jiang understands this truth, especially when it comes to changing relatives, but unfortunately Jiang Hai and his wife forced Jiang to marry, and later asked Jiang for help because of many things, and gradually exhausted Jiang's patience with his mother's family, which gradually left his heart.
Now Jiang looked like his mother had a handful of bones left, but in the end, only Mrs. Jiang was left, so she cried very sadly.
"This is Brother and Sister Zhu, they have grown so big, they are both good children." Old Madam Jiang mainly looked at Su Xizhu, she had been holding her breath for this granddaughter, although she was very disappointed to see Su Xizhu, but she cared about her identity.
"Are you married?" Mrs. Jiang was afraid that she wouldn't last long, so she went straight to the point.
Although Jiang was crying very sadly, when he heard his mother ask, he immediately thought of his daughter's entrustment and nodded.
"My mother-in-law has already told someone, and the two families have also seen each other, we can settle down when we go back this time, my mother can rest assured, the other party is also a high-ranking family, and her identity is definitely worthy of Sister Shangzhu."
Hearing Jiang's words, Mrs. Jiang's breath was a little heavier, and Niu watched from the side and hurriedly said, "Little sister, my mother is tired, let my mother rest first." ”
Niu and the others didn't expect Jiang to say this, but they were afraid that Mrs. Jiang would be hit hard and go, so they hurriedly reminded her.
"Well, mother, I'll come to see you later." Jiang helped the old lady to lie down, touched her mother, who was full of bones, and secretly wiped her tears, Niu's eyes flashed slightly.
