18. Twists and turns

"Dou Shangshu is so angry about this, he wants to withdraw from his relatives directly, it really gives you face; Mrs. Dou also disliked Miss Jiang because of this, her health was not good, and she didn't have to affect her grandchildren, so Mrs. Dou was stubborn. Dou Shangshu had no choice but to say to Master Jiang, 'It doesn't matter, the two children Zijun and Miss Jiang are fateful, and their bodies are important, so the Dou family will still have to wait for this time." I sent a lot of medicine to the Jiang family to nourish my body. ”

Who knew that this statement made the Jiang family more sure of their guesses, which directly caused the Jiang family to float up, with a posture that Dou Shangshu valued me and I had someone in the court. immediately took Miss Jiang back, saying that she was cured and wanted to discuss her relatives. It's good that the matter ends here, but this marriage is just the beginning. ”

"The wife of the Jiang family is a lively person, thinking that such a good family affair is really rare in several lifetimes, why should she give her own daughter, where is it the turn of an orphan girl who has lost her mother." Speaking of which, Xiao Dezi mentioned Mrs. Jiang's identity and Miss Jiang's life experience by the way.

"This Mrs. Jiang is the stepwife of Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang lost her mother when she was one year old, and Mrs. Jiang entered the door half a year later. This second Miss Jiang Bao'er is two years younger than Miss Jiang, and she is also fourteen. ”

"This Mrs. Jiang did not treat Miss Jiang as harshly as a vicious stepmother, let alone take good care of her, and did not miss Miss Jiang's share, but she would never let Miss Jiang go beyond her daughter a little. In order to prevent Miss Jiang from marrying better than her own daughter, she insisted that she was reluctant to raise her for two more years, so that Miss Jiang, who had been in the house for a year, did not have her in-laws, so she would wait for Jiang Baoer's mother-in-law to decide before choosing. ”

"Now she has taken a fancy to the young master of the Dou family, so she has to let her daughter marry her. Coincidentally, someone from the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion told her that the third young master of the palace had taken a fancy to Jiang Ling'er and wanted to hire him as a concubine. Isn't this a pillow that I fell asleep, and after careful questioning, I learned that it was Miss Jiang who was recuperating in Zhuangzi and took in the third prince of the Admiral's Mansion who was injured when she went out hunting. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Dezi was moved by his eloquence, wiped his tears and said: "This Miss Jiang is also a pitiful, she is not a lady when she meets people, she meets a stepmother who is so concerned about her own family affairs, and she saved the third son of the Admiral's Mansion who repays virtue with grievances." You say, how can anyone hire a benefactor as a concubine, how can there be such a reason in the world? ”

Aunt Bi Tao sighed: "There is a way of blessing and unparalleled happiness, and disasters are not a single line." ”

Xiao Dezi nodded and continued: "Now Mrs. Jiang hurriedly accepted the dowry and asked the matchmaker to go back and wait for the letter." And she went to make it clear to Master Jiang herself, probably because Dou Shangshu valued the master before he was hired, and it was the same for any girl in our mansion to marry, but the third young master of the Nine Gates took a fancy to Ling'er, and the dowry did not dare to be returned. ”

"After saying this, the old man Jiang was moved, so he asked, 'What about Mrs. Yi?' Mrs. Jiang immediately said, "Master, don't we still have Bao'er, and Bao'er will be in time for half a year, you see?" ’。 ”

In this way, Mr. Jiang and his wife went to persuade Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang refused at first. Mrs. Jiang said softly and hard that this is all for the master, and besides, Sister Ling saved the third young master in Zhuangzi, this is also her fate. Although the old lady Jiang felt sorry for Miss Jiang, she could only agree for the sake of her son's official career. So the ghost-obsessed Jiang family stole the dragon and phoenix and replaced the eight characters that were pasted with Dou Shangshufu with Jiang Bao'er's, and guess what? ”

Bing Ning said tentatively: "Then Mrs. Dou married the wrong person?" Bijac was incredulous: "Can't you, right?" "He couldn't accept it. Everyone was attracted by Xiao Dezi's excellent singing and songwriting performance, and couldn't help but guess, Di Tai, who looked at Xiao Dezi's expression carefully, said angrily: "It's true, that Master Jiang is really selfish, and his wife is even worse, I can't stand this result, so I don't listen to it." ”

Sandslider stopped: "Di Tai Mo is in a hurry, I believe that such a result will not be accepted by Mrs. Dou." "If that were the case, then the couple we saw in the studio would not be the same couple, and it didn't have to be a big deal to talk about, but it was just a common boudoir secret.

Xia Han touched his chin and asked, "Then after Mrs. Jiang told Miss Jiang about this, what was Miss Jiang's reaction?" "Prince Ben is more interested in the hearts of the people involved. Lu Wan stood up and said: "Miss Jiang was completely cold to this family after knowing this, Miss Jiang is weak on the outside and strong on the inside, and she would rather die than be a concubine." ”

"I also have a very good idea, taking advantage of the selection of female officials in the palace, I knelt down and begged my grandmother to say that my father chose his granddaughter for marriage, and as a daughter, she was willing to bear it, and she could only admit that her stepmother and second sister wanted her relatives, but it was absolutely impossible to make her a concubine. My grandmother once taught, 'It is better to be a poor wife than a rich concubine.'" ”

"How can you tell her to be a concubine now? She was raised by her grandmother without her mother in this mansion, and if her grandmother left her alone, she would have to die. Mrs. Jiang looked at the child she had brought with her since she was a child, and she was reluctant to give her household registration. Miss Jiang is the daughter of an official, and she was a third-grade female official at the beginning, and then she was appreciated by the queen and became a Mengxue female master, and she was the only female master except for the Yao female master who taught the female red embroidery of the nobles of the clan. ”

"She's a lady who teaches painting, right?" Lu Wan nodded: "Yes, how does the girl know?" Xia Xing laughed: "I'm more curious why that Mrs. Dou is so persistent with Miss Jiang?" Sand Skateboard guessed: "Now that they are all Mengxue Taifu, they should meet from time to time, right?" ”

Xiao Dezi nodded: "Yes, they met on the first day that Miss Jiang came to Mengxue, when Mrs. Dou taught calligraphy and painting. Mama Ke took Miss Jiang to the study to see Mrs. Dou and told him that this was the new lady who had come to teach painting, and the household department gave Miss Jiang Ling'er, the concubine of Master Jiang in the matter, to hand over the affairs of the studio to Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Dou would be more relaxed in the future. ”

He also told Miss Jiang the identity of Mrs. Dou, so that if she didn't understand anything, she could ask Mrs. Dou. During this period, a month has passed since the incident of Hegengti, and the two families are about to discuss the hiring of relatives, and when they first met, they both quietly did not speak. This situation can only be described as 'caring for each other without words, only a thousand tears'. ”

This situation can only be described as 'caring for each other without words, only a thousand tears'. ”

"One is looking at the person who was supposed to be his future husband, but he is going to marry his sister, and he feels that the world is impermanent and his fate is miserable; One is thinking that she is about to get married, what is she doing when she prepares to marry at home and come to Mengxue? Did you come to see him? Although the two can't meet before marriage, she really came to him, and he was very willing to meet. ”

"These two people didn't say a reason for a long time, Miss Jiang wanted to know if Mrs. Dou knew that he was going to marry his sister? Does he mind if the Jiang family is replaced, or does it matter as long as it is the Jiang family? Mrs. Dou is still thinking about her intentions, is it because she knows about Geng Tie and is worried that he cares, so she came. ”

Bing Ning stomped his feet anxiously: "Speak, let them say it, oh, I can't stand my quick temper." "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, telling stories has to be done step by step. Xiao Dezi looked at Bing Ning helplessly, and then looked at Xia Xing, whose eyes were shining and about to fall, "Don't worry, Your Highness, they said Ang." ”

Then he continued: "So Mrs. Dou decided to appease Miss Jiang, and said, 'Miss, please be relieved, since Zijun has decided to propose to the Jiang family, he must be consistent, I don't mind the matter of Geng Tie, and please don't care about it, so the mystic arguments are not accurate." Miss Jiang was blindsided after hearing this, thinking that he didn't mind the matter of Geng Tie, and told me not to care, what Geng Tie? That's not her Geng sticker!! ”

"Is she just going to have to endure it? He's taken it! Did he ask her not to care about the replacement? Thinking about it, I asked it like that. ”

At this time, Mrs. Dou was stunned, thinking to herself, did she know or not? Anyway, let's talk about it thoroughly. So I said that the two of us don't match each other very well when we are posted, but no one knows except me, don't worry, I don't believe in numerology, I only believe that people will win the day, and it will be the two of us who will be together for a lifetime in the future, you don't care about what others say. ”

Hearing this, Miss Jiang exclaimed, 'What'. There's something going on here!! Mrs. Dou continued, "I didn't expect you to be so young, but don't worry, I will wait for you and the basket, so you can go home and wait with peace of mind, and the Dou family will send a dowry gift soon." Miss Jiang suddenly had an epiphany, now everything is understood, but she doesn't know whether to tell Mrs. Dou that his wife has been replaced by Jiang Bao'er and not her, what should she say about it? said how to face the maintenance of the Jiang family and grandmother, not to mention how to face Mrs. Dou and herself? ”

Bing Ning stroked her heart and sighed: "Oh my God, I'm so uncomfortable, I can understand Miss Jiang's feelings, it's so pitiful... Ahh As he spoke, he leaned on the body of the woman and cried. Lu Wan was also sentimental on the side: "Who says it's not, the fate of a woman is so involuntary... When Bingning heard this, she immediately got up and hugged Lu Wan: "Fellow Daoists, woo woo woo... ”

Ditai and Maiden were full of black lines, and Bijac twitched the corners of his mouth and said to the sandboarder: "I feel that he is more like a storyteller than a storyteller." "Look at what Bing Ning said to cry like. Xiao Dezi said modestly: "Don't hide it from the Lord Guard, the ancestors of our family have been storytellers for three generations, and they usually tell stories to the nobles to relieve boredom, and this time it is because of our family's ability that we were sent to serve His Royal Highness." ”

------------ digression, hehe, is Xiao Dezi very talented?
