Chapter 9: Missing
Jiang Moxi ignored her, raised her eyebrows and looked at the guards who followed in, the guards who followed up were really helpless with bitter faces, "Mrs. Jiang has to come in, and her subordinates don't dare to drive people out directly." ”
Indeed, with Mrs. Jiang's virtue, it is entirely possible to say that the guards intended to do her badly, and the guards had no choice but to let people in.
"Okay, I know, I don't blame you, let's go down first." Jiang Moxi sighed slightly, the second room and the big family are a nest of scoundrels, not to mention the guards, even she has no good way to deal with it.
"I heard the old man say that the eldest brother is coming back soon, so I have to get together at that time, but this is just that you are also alone in the house, how can you take care of yourself, the second aunt specially wants to come over to accompany you."
Mrs. Jiang didn't treat herself as an outsider for half a minute, stepped into the front hall as if she were talking, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it all.
"No need, Mama Li and the housekeeper have managed the General's Mansion very well, thank you Mrs. Jiang for your care."
Jiang Moxi refused lightly, but Mrs. Jiang insisted without hearing it.
"Eh, the General's Mansion is busy these days, just let the second aunt stay and help you, this General's Mansion is so big, you will inevitably be afraid, I have to stay and take care of it."
Jiang Moxi was about to be laughed at by Mrs. Jiang's scoundrel, the general's mansion was busy, how could she not know that an outsider with Mrs. Jiang knew better than her?
In the face of Old Man Jiang, Jiang Sheng, who has malicious intentions towards herself on the surface, she can still drive people away as a matter of course, but like Mrs. Jiang, who came under the guise of being good for you, she really didn't know what to do for a while.
As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person when you reach out.
And at this time, I saw a maid walking in from the gate of the General's Mansion with a big bag and a small bag, even the luggage was ready, is she staying here?
Jiang Moxi glanced at it and sneered meaningfully, "Mrs. Jiang is really well prepared this time, and she has taken so much luggage, so she thought that she had discussed with me before to come and live." ”
This old man Jiang on the front foot has just moved away, and Mrs. Jiang on the back foot has come again, if there is no encouragement from the rest of the Jiang family in the middle, she will not believe it.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't understand Jiang Moxi's words, "In the end, it's all one family, what does this family say?" ”
Jiang Moxi said that he just didn't mention it to Mrs. Jiang to settle down, the two were at a stalemate in the front hall, and Si Qing trotted over from the front.
"Miss, the Prime Minister's wife is here with a gift, and she is waiting outside the door." Si Qing whispered to Jiang Moxi's side.
"Go, please come in."
It's not like other people, you can't say you can't see it.
The prime minister's wife is nearly forty years old now, but her face is still well-maintained, and she is graceful and elegant at this moment.
"The last time I saw you was when you were a child, all these years have passed, and I don't know if Moxi still has an impression of me."
The prime minister's wife called the maid behind her to present the gifts, and the gifts that were sent back and forth were all cheesy things like gold, silver and jewelry, Jiang Moxi had never been interested, and at this moment, he only let Si Qing accept it, and thanked him with a smile.
"How can you not remember you, the years will always be extra kind to kind-hearted people, Mo Xi looks at the years have passed, you are still so young."
What woman doesn't like to be praised for being young and beautiful, the prime minister's wife immediately smiled when she heard this, stretched out her hand and nodded Jiang Moxi's forehead, and said with disgust on her lips.
"It's just that you kid can talk, unlike the stinky boy in my family, who usually looks like a stuffy gourd."
The two sat down with a smile, and Mrs. Jiang, who had been left out in the cold for a long time, rolled her eyes and greeted her flatteringly, compared with the Prime Minister's wife, she didn't look like a high-ranking lady, but with the status of the Jiang family, she really couldn't be called a high-ranking family.
It's just that it is Jiang Mu who can talk to this group of nobles who they can't usually touch.
"Mrs. Zhang, you can taste this snow top with emerald, this was specially rewarded by the emperor a while ago, and I heard that there are no people around."
Mrs. Jiang was half showing off and half courteously leaning over to pour tea for Mrs. Zhang, and the meaning of flattery was obvious.
Jiang Moxi sat on the main seat and did not speak, and his face also restrained a smile, and he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
The one who can sit in the position of the prime minister's wife is not an idle person who is not clear, and Mrs. Zhang saw Jiang Moxi with sharp eyes.
She is not unclear about the Jiang family's affairs, Jiang Mu led the army to fight and worked hard, and he should have been full of glory, Jiang Moxi should have enjoyed all the glory and wealth since he was a child, but she was pitiful that her mother Fubo went first, and the general was not at home all the year round.
There is also a second uncle next to him, who came to occupy the general's mansion under the banner of taking care of Jiang Moxi, and refused to give it, bullying the little girl.
She had heard before that the last time the prince came to ask for a kiss, several people in the second room of the Jiang family actually wanted to drop their bags and marry their daughters, and it is said that some people saw that Jiang Moxi's exposed arms were all whipped wounds, which shows how arrogant the second room of the Jiang family is.
Although Mrs. Jiang didn't come with her before, but what kind of good thing can she marry Jiang Sheng, Mrs. Zhang will look at it, she is here to give Jiang Moxi a gift, if she takes Mrs. Jiang's tea at this time, I am afraid that she will marry Liangzi.
Mrs. Zhang smiled intriguingly and gently, "The general is not in the mansion, and Mo Xi is left alone, presumably the emperor also cherishes that you are alone in the mansion, so he thinks about you for everything." ”
"Even our Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't have such a good tea, or the emperor rewarded it once when the Prime Minister had a meritorious service to disaster relief, this tea is excellent, and I can smell the aroma of your tea cup from so far away."
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled softly, talking and laughing with Jiang Moxi like Mrs. Jiang who couldn't see the tea cup in her hand next to her, Jiang Moxi naturally knew that Mrs. Zhang was helping her speak.
"Moxi, some people here are born faceless and skinless, like a relative who recently came to our house and annoyed me to death, I don't know the slightest etiquette, and I take other people's homes as my own to occupy the magpie's nest, really."
The ridicule of these words was not obvious, and Mrs. Jiang's face sank as soon as she brushed it, and it was as black as the bottom of the pot.
The angry woman put the tea cup in her hand on the table, and didn't even bother to say hello to the two people who were sitting, so she directly led the maid away with her luggage, and didn't stay for a moment.
"Relatives like this, don't get along, a little family."
After waiting for the others to leave, Mrs. Zhang commented in a flat tone.
"Go and renew the pot of tea for Madame." Jiang Moxi commanded in a low voice.
"No, I'll just give a gift, there are still things to do in the house, so I won't stay longer."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and stopped the maid who walked to her to pour tea, and got up to say goodbye.
Jiang Moxi also followed to the gate of the general's mansion to send people off, "I heard that the general is coming back soon, and you don't have to be polite to rogue relatives like this." ”
Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang earnestly instructed, whether it was a means to win her over or Mrs. Zhang's sincerity, she received this intention.
Jiang Moxi just wanted to go back, but the originally sunny sky suddenly rained lightly, which was not cold, but brought a touch of coolness to the hot weather.
She raised her hand and stretched it out, feeling the wetness in her hand and withdrawing her hand, "Si Qing, let's go back." ”
Because of the rain just now, although it was not cold, Jiang Moxi was still pulled over by Mama Li to take a hot bath, for fear that she would not take care of Jiang Moxi and be infected with the cold.
After she came out, but in an instant, the sky outside became gray, and the hazy silky drizzle hit the eaves, and the rain and fog were filled.
"Miss, don't stand by the window, be careful of catching a cold, the old slave can't stop until night when he sees the weather."
Behind her, Mama Li took a cloak and put it on Jiang Moxi's body, worried, Jiang Moxi has been weak since he was a child, and it is even more common for him to catch a cold.
She was also a little sleepy listening to the sound of rain outside, which always made people want to sleep on rainy days.
"It just so happens that I'm a little sleepy, Mama, you can go back and rest, I won't eat dinner, and you don't have to wake me up then."
Jiang Moxi yawned and walked towards the bed, Mama Li blew out the candles on the table and walked out quietly.
-----------
"Miss, Miss, wake up." Si Qing stood on the edge of the bed and shook Jiang Moxi, calling softly.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Moxi closed his eyes and frowned, and he spoke in a nasal voice that was unique to him after he had just woken up.
"Just now, a guard from the Regent's Mansion jumped over the wall and said that the Regent wanted to invite the young lady over."
The candle was lit by Si Qing at some point, Jiang Moxi opened his eyes, and the candlelight swayed on the wall, showing that Jiang Moxi was lying on the couch and was unwilling to get up.
"You went back to him, and said I won't go."
Jiang Moxi turned over and buried her head on the pillow, she was sleeping soundly, and at this time she ran over to disturb people's dreams.
Don't talk about this, since Mo Guli personally came to help her speak that day, the gossip outside has not stopped, don't think she doesn't know, if it is in normal times, even if she really kicks out all the people in the second room of the Jiang family by herself, there will not be so many people to give gifts.
It's not that Mo Guli seems to be interesting to her, not only those people, but before Mrs. Zhang left today, they all squeezed their eyebrows with her and said that if Mo Guli was really interesting to her, let her seize the opportunity.
Jiang Moxi didn't know what to say at that time, so he could only laugh and send people away.
"Miss, I looked at the person who came and said that His Royal Highness the Regent is in a hurry, otherwise you should go and take a look, in case there is something urgent."
Si Qing paced back and forth, and finally said with some hesitation.
"No, don't go, I'm sleepy, you go back to him, just say there's something to wait for tomorrow, I'm going to sleep."
The rain outside the window had long stopped, but it was still cold at night, and Jiang Moxi couldn't help but wrap the quilt tightly when he felt the coolness.
