Chapter 411: Walk around
Jiang Lizhu accompanied Dou Zhao to Bishuixuan, where Jiang Yan was placed, and Song Mo went to the study - after a while, Xia Lian led someone to "snatch" Song Shize back, presumably Song Shize still had a lot to say to him.
Jiang Yan was sitting on the edge of the big kang near the window of the inner room looking at a pot of jade bonsai of grape squirrels in a daze, when she heard the movement, she immediately stood up and stepped forward to salute Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao took her hand, and without waiting for her to speak, he told her what happened in the Xiangyuan in a few words, of course, some of Song Yichun's words were skipped.
Jiang Yan was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and said in a slightly unnatural voice: "Grandpa Guo, don't you like Mrs. Jiang?" ”
Although she believed Song Mo's words in her heart, one of the two people who could confirm her identity now had died, and the other had flatly denied it, and she was still very cautious about calling Jiang Madame Jiang.
"I don't know." Dou Zhao said sincerely, "When I got married, my mother-in-law had been dead for several years. When she said this, she had an idea and asked Jiang Yan, "Would you like to help me investigate my mother-in-law's affairs together?" ”
Jiang Yan nodded excitedly, and his jade-like eyes finally had a little brilliance.
Jiang Lizhu's hanging heart just fell.
She admired Dou Zhao's way of doing things very much, and when she wrote back to the Jiang family, she couldn't help but admire her, which made the eldest lady of the Jiang family feel emotional, and said to the daughter of the Jiang family: "The son of the world is a blessed person in the end." I thought that after my aunt and grandmother went, there was no elder who would be the master of the house for him, but who knew that he married the Dou family by mistake, which shows that this marriage is destined by God. ”
Jiang Chuxiu was silent for a long time when she heard this, and the next day she agreed to the marriage that the Jiang family had set for her.
Of course, that's all for later.
At this time, Jiang Lizhu saw that there was nothing wrong with herself. got up with a smile and said goodbye, leaving time for Aunt Dou Zhao and sister-in-law to whisper.
Dou Zhao and Jiang Yan went to sit down in the water pavilion next to Bishui Xuan, and said, "Now that the Ming Road has passed, you can live in the British Mansion with peace of mind in the future." Whatever you need, just tell me. ”
Jiang Yan nodded lightly, wanting to ask Li Liang, but knowing that his biological brother and sister-in-law would probably be unhappy. I swallowed it in the end.
Dou Zhao asked about the clothes and jewelry made for her: "I have discussed it with your brother, and tomorrow I will take you to Lu's house to kowtow to Mrs. Lu and Princess Ningde." ”
In the few days when she lived outside, a grandmother sent by Dou Zhao had told her in detail about the relationship between the Song family and various prefectures, and she knew that the Lu family was the maiden family of the old British duchess, and she went to the Lu family to recognize her relatives, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart.
is worried that he will make a mistake and lose his ugliness, but he is also afraid that he will not be the daughter of the Song family in the end. How joyful at this time. How disappointed and humiliating it will be then.
But thinking that Dou Zhao had a big belly and was still running around for her business. She was full of guilt, and she couldn't say "not going" anyway, so she had to whisper "yes". The next day, I dressed up and followed Dou Zhao to Lu's house.
Old Madam Lu and Eldest Princess Ningde were wondering: "Although there are many young ladies in the Jiang family. But it seems that Jiang Shi is so distressed that he wants to accept him as a goddaughter. What the hell is this Yantang? Could it be that he was fooled by the servant woman below? Jiang's left suddenly, it is possible that someone faked Jiang's will! ”
The eldest princess of Ningde has been getting better and better in the past few years, and she persuaded her sister-in-law with a smile: "The person is about to arrive, don't you know when you meet?" ”
While the two were talking, Dou Zhao and Jiang Yan came over.
The eldest grandmother of the Lu family personally greeted Jiang Yan at the door of the weeping flower, and after seeing Jiang Yan, she never came back to her senses, until she entered the inner courtyard of Mrs. Lu, and she frequently looked up at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was very uncomfortable.
Old Madam Lu and the eldest princess of Ningde were stunned, especially the eldest princess of Ningde, she had seen a lot of pickled things in the palace, and she thought far away.
After Jiang Yan kowtowed to them, the eldest princess of Ningde immediately found an excuse for Grandma Lu to take Jiang Yan to the back garden, and she sent the servants around her, leaving Dou Zhao alone to speak.
Dou Zhao came here, firstly, because the Lu family has always been full of kindness to the two of them, and Jiang Yan needs the recognition and support of the Lu family; Second, it is also to find out Jiang Yan's identity to see if the Lu family has a little impression of what happened back then, and whether they can find some clues. When the eldest princess of Ningde asked, she poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told the two old ladies all the causes and consequences.
Old Madam Lu was so angry that she couldn't speak, and the eldest princess of Ningde kept sighing and said, "I felt that something was wrong back then. Obviously a full-term child, how can he be so weak? But your mother-in-law was confused for a while, and she didn't notice it at all, what else can we uncles and aunts say? Song Han didn't know how many precious medicinal materials he used to condition his body since he was a child, and the silver was splashed out like water, but the foundation was still not as solid as the inkstone, which showed that the child was either born prematurely or was urged down by medicine. He added, "If it's a premature birth, it's okay to say, I'm afraid that it was born by medicine." It can be seen that the British public railway is determined to take this son into the house, and the clues of the year have already been cleaned up, and you don't need to check it. If you can be sure, let this child recognize him as Miss Jiang Jiabiao; If you can't be sure, it's not a big deal, but it's better to have more pairs of chopsticks and more dowries than to miss them. ”
"Our prince is thinking of you here." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "Even if this girl has no blood relationship with the prince, but she looks so similar to my mother-in-law, it is fate, so she should be an extra sister, and she will take care of it." In his heart, he had long recognized that Jiang Yan and Song Mo were brother and sister.
Old Madam Lu and the eldest princess of Ningde bowed their heads and asked the Wei family and the He family: "What are the plans of the Yan Hall?" ”
Dou Zhao said with a smile: "The prince said that Henan has not been peaceful since the spring of this year, and some people have wandered to Qingyuan County to become rogues, colluding with the local squires to rob houses and houses, and it is good to let the officials carefully investigate, and not let these people disturb the tranquility of the place." Listen to the meaning of the prince, there will be results in the next few days. ”
Old Madam Lu and Eldest Princess Ningde couldn't stop nodding and said, "That's very good!" He added, "You don't have to be like that." ”
I want to be at the beginning. Jin Gui Yingui's family just gave ten taels of silver to the former senior brothers, and they ended up with a broken family and a broken wife, and now Wei Quan and He Qingyuan colluded with Liukou, what else can there be?
Old Madam Lu and Princess Ningde asked Jiang Yan to come over. took off two ornaments from his body as a greeting gift, and asked Jiang Yan carefully.
Although Jiang Yan answered without leaking, he could not hide the crampedness in his expression.
Old Madam Lu and Princess Ningde shook their heads with pity, feeling that such a beautiful little girl had grown up in the streets and alleys with the Li family since she was a child. is afraid and cowering, and it is difficult to get rid of the petty family spirit.
Dou Zhao also knew that if time permitted, it would be best to raise Jiang Yan for a few more days and bring it out, but she was going to give birth in a few days, and when she could get out of her body and show up with Jiang Yan, it would take too long, so I was afraid that Jiang Yan would be rumored to be sent by the Jiang family to serve Song Mo, which would ruin Jiang Yan's reputation.
She kept cheering Jiang Yan up. took Jiang Yan back to Dou's house.
Song Mo was very distressed. Don't let her go out again: "I have a way to deal with my father." You can't run around without caring about yourself. ”
If Dou Zhao had three long and two short, he felt that the things he was doing now were meaningless.
Dou Zhao smiled: "Wen Po wants me to move around more, I'm just fine." It's good to take Sister Yan out to breathe. ”
Song Mo's face did not improve.
Dou Zhao had no choice but to say, "If I feel uncomfortable, I will stay at home immediately." ”
Song Mo's expression was slightly relieved.
Jiang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that Dou Zhao and Song Mo were doing this for her good. But she really doesn't like this kind of socializing, especially when everyone's eyes are on her, as if they want to see her through, she is worried that those people will know that she has been innocent with others except her husband, and she feels as if she has followed her adoptive mother Li Xiaoniang, and thinks that no one else knows about her ugly things, in fact, there is no one in the neighborhood who does not point fingers at her, that is, herself, and she has received a lot of criticism because of this......
She thinks it's good to be able to hide in the British Mansion, especially to live in the secluded Bishui Xuan, not worrying about eating and drinking, and just doing some needlework every day to pass the time.
The people in Kyoto soon knew that Song Mo had a cousin who lived in the British Mansion, and Dou Zhao felt sorry for this cousin, Jun Xin, and was thinking about finding a good family to marry again.
Inevitably, some people will see Jiang Yan's idea of beating Jiang Yan for the sake of the British government.
Jiang Yan's face turned as pale as snow with fright, and he begged Dou Zhao: "I don't want to marry again, you can send me to the temple!" Thinking that he should have died a long time ago, but he couldn't beg for death several times, but his courage became smaller and smaller, and after being protected by Song Mo and Dou Zhao, he didn't dare to die even more, and couldn't help crying quietly.
Dou Zhao knew that she was hurt and would not be able to recover so quickly, so he hurriedly comforted her: "This is to prevent others from gossiping about you, not to marry you off immediately." ”
It may be that since she met Dou Zhao, Dou Zhao has been particularly calm and thoughtful, Jiang Yan trusts Dou Zhao very much, she wiped her tears embarrassedly, and said, "Then I will do needlework at home in the future, right?" My sister-in-law is going to add a little nephew, and I also want to do my best for my little nephew, just ask my sister-in-law not to dislike me for being an unblessed person. ”
"If you can be found by your brother, you are a blessed man!" Dou Zhao could understand Jiang Yan's uneasiness, just like her own hesitation in her previous life in the alley of Jing'an Temple, so she not only comforted her gently, but also sent her a bunch of embroidery work to do.
Jiang Yan settled down instead, and happily did needlework with the new big maid Yinghong who was assigned to her every day, and she was very energetic, and on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, she saw Dou Zhao commanding the maid and mother-in-law at home to dry books, she was very envious, and said: "It turns out that my sister-in-law still knows how to read." ”
Dou Zhao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Are you illiterate?" ”
Jiang Yan blushed: "When I was a child, I followed my uncle to learn the "Three Character Classic" for a few days, she said that it was useless for girls to learn this, and my uncle was busy with school later, so he didn't study, and now he has almost forgotten it." ”
Dou Zhao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then do you want to learn?" If you want to learn, I'll tell your brother and ask him to invite you to come back and teach you how to read and write. ”
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up and said, "Can it work?" ”
"Why not?" Dou Zhao said with a smile, "It's not to take the top prize, it's just to learn a few words to make sense, and sooner or later?" He also instructed her, "In front of your brother, you can't call Li Liang 'uncle' anymore, because the Li family abducted you, and he didn't treat you well, he hated the Li family to death." ”
