Chapter Seventy-Seven: Life is Impermanent
"Mother, don't cry, listen upset!" Jiang Yiran flicked the wick in front of him and said distraughtly, "What's the use of you just crying?" It's not that I'm cheapening my body, it's not early, go to sleep! ”
"Can I not think about it again? Why is your life so bitter, just because you climbed into a good family business, and you got into such a thing! That little marquis has nothing to do over the wall! Isn't that a problem for me? What can be done now? The eldest lady wept.
"Hasn't the eldest princess always disliked me? Just tell her to quit the marriage! Jiang Yiran remembered the humiliation she received during the day, and she was angry, it was the first time she had been so insulted when she was so big.
"My silly boy, if the second son hadn't seen anything like that, the matter might have taken a turn for the better, and the eldest princess might still be able to regret her marriage because she was favored by the Queen Mother, but now do you think it's still possible? The second son was paralyzed in bed for the second half of his life, withdrew from our family's marriage, and then assigned the marriage to someone with a similar family background in our family, which family would not think it was a bully? What's more, the second son had an accident in our family, and it just happened to be justified for you to serve him for the rest of his life, the eldest princess is not a fool, and she doesn't understand such a simple Taoist ideal? The eldest lady wiped her tears, "No matter what, I can't let my son suffer, I'm going to the old lady now, looking for the old lady, and I must push this marriage over!" ”
"Mother, the Queen Mother gave you a marriage, where can we get now?" Jiang Yiran sat down with a depressed face, "That's it, this is my fate, I just accept my fate!" ”
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, Jiang Youran looked at it coldly, and was glad in her heart, because she was not given marriage, otherwise she would not have to be a widow for the rest of her life?
When she saw her mother and sister crying sadly, she couldn't bear it, and persuaded her: "Don't cry, maybe things may not be as bad as you think!" What if the second son dies before the wedding? It's just that there is a marriage contract, after all, he is not married, is it difficult for his sister to widow him? ”
"What nonsense!" The eldest lady scolded, "Didn't you hear the eldest princess accusing your sister Kefu conclusively today?" If the second son really has three longs and two shorts, I'm afraid she won't give up! ”
The eldest lady scolded, but an inspiration seemed to flash in her mind, everything in the world has changed, as long as Yiran does not get married in the near future, it can be delayed for a while, maybe this marriage will be solved easily, anyway, staying at home will definitely be better than staying in the Hou Mansion. But how can it be delayed for a while?
The eldest lady wiped the tears from her face and coughed: "Don't cry my son, my mother won't watch you suffer, I will definitely find a way for you!" It's getting dark, so let's go to bed first! ”
She got up, a sense of indifference appeared on her face, and her eyes looked even more gloomy, making Jiang Youran feel a little creepy. She patted her second daughter's shoulder, a smile appeared on her lips, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Accompany your sister and persuade her well!" ”
Jiang Youran hadn't seen her mother show such a side for a long time, she didn't feel a chill in her heart, and vaguely felt that something would happen, but she couldn't think of what her mother would do, so she had to nod and respond: "I know!" ”
Inside the Taoyao Courtyard.
"The eldest princess fainted after listening to the doctor's explanation, and it took a while to wake up, and after waking up, she counted the Jiang family's no, the old lady, the eldest lady, the third lady, no one gave face, the young lady didn't see it, the old lady's face changed, and then the eldest princess was persuaded by Dingjun to give up and carry the second prince back!" Yan Yan's painted voice and color Tongjiang Xiaoyu said what she heard in the front yard.
"Good people say that if you are paralyzed, you will be paralyzed, and you may have to live in bed for the rest of your life. She is also unlucky, why did she get into this situation! Two days ago, the eldest lady saw everyone smiling, thinking that this marriage was good, but last night I heard that I cried all night! Yan Yan paused and said, "But the slave doesn't pity the third lady at all!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Why?" ”
"'Cause they're always in your trouble!" Yan Yan pouted and said indignantly.
"Trouble me?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "In fact, people look at things from different angles when they stand in a different position, you are close to me, so you naturally feel that they are all looking for trouble for me, but from their point of view, I am the most hateful person!" Don't think I think so well, I never think I'm a good person, and I don't want to be a good person, it's human nature to bully the soft and be afraid of the hard, and it will show a murderous side in front of the weak, and in front of the strong people, I will be a man with my tail between my legs, and secretly accumulate strength! It's hard to say about the third lady, marriage is not just a combination of two, but an alliance of interests, in order to maximize interests, or the interests of some people, what is the happiness of women! ”
Yanyan scratched her hair: "According to Miss's meaning, being a woman is quite miserable!" ”
"Your parents are partial to your eldest brother, aren't you sad at all?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "Sometimes being a woman is an original sin. In the face of the torrent of the times, men are still involuntarily, how many choices can they give to women? By the way, in the future, no discussion about the third lady will be allowed in Taoyao Hospital, you can greet the following! ”
"Yes, the slave knows!"
Yan Yan went to be busy with her own affairs, Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh, in fact, she was more concerned about the matter of Xiaolin Courtyard now, after Prime Minister Lin resigned, the candidate for the successor prime minister, Emperor Zhou's city government was very deep, and his mind was unpredictable, no one knew who he intended to belong to, and the second prince and the third prince did not dare to meddle in this matter.
She read the letter in her hand again, then burned it. The letter said that his body was deteriorating, and the senior brother also said that his time was running out, and it seemed that his pace was about to speed up, although his net in Beijing was not completely opened, but he was about to start walking step by step!
The first step is to find out the truth about what happened to my mother in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then!
Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head and looked coldly at the sky from the window. The eldest lady's character is still not concerned, but her love for her two daughters is true, even if the Dingjun Marquis Mansion has deep roots, she is not willing to marry her daughter to guard a living dead, so what will you do to stop this marriage?
Her eyes narrowed slightly, or I'll help you!
Two days later, the bad news came that Gangwon's nurse had died suddenly. The nurse died one day when she was young, so she has been taking Jiang Yuan as her biological son for several years, and the relationship between the two is also good. She died suddenly, and Jiang Yuan was busy with government affairs, so he had to go to the eldest lady to take care of the aftermath for the nurse. When the nurse was in Jiangfu, she took the three sisters for a while, so the three of them also went to the Zhuangzi to mourn.
And the reason why the eldest lady tried her best to let the three young ladies go was because she hoped that Jiang Yiran could temporarily stay away from the rumors in the capital, after all, the matter of the eldest grandson Quan's injury in the Jiang Mansion had already been discussed in the capital.
This Zhuangzi is in Linxian County, the capital, and several people set off early in the morning and rushed to Zhuangzi in the afternoon.
The eldest lady was already very good at cooking red and white ceremonies, and immediately began to prepare for the preparations after arriving in Zhuangzi, while Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them were arranged in a courtyard to rest temporarily.
In the evening, after Jiang Xiaoyu changed into filial piety clothes, she enjoyed the cool under the tree in the courtyard, which was something she was used to when she was in Taoyao Courtyard.
The room was hot, Jiang Youran came out with a fan, looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's leisurely appearance, was angry, and stepped forward to accuse: "Mama has taken us for a few years, and now that she has passed away, I don't see you a little sad, you are really cold-blooded!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu raised her eyelids and glanced at her, and said lightly: "You always love to be able to speak, when have you ever bargained with me?" Why can't you remember the lesson every time, so you have to bring shame on yourself? ”
"You! That's your sophistry, you're just articulate, and you really think you're not right! Jiang Youran sneered.
"Tell the truth!" Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at her, "You are quite happy that something like that happened in the Dingjun Marquis Mansion!" ”
"You talk nonsense!" Jiang Youran's face was flushed, and he scolded, "You don't talk nonsense, what am I happy to do!" ”
"I'll forget it, but the third sister stays with you all day, eats and sleeps together, you think you are no worse than her, but what, she may marry better than you, and live better than you in the future, you are naturally jealous! Now that something like this has happened, she can't be better than you, or even worse than you, and you are naturally happy in your heart! Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "Did you say what I said right?" ”
"You...... You are talking nonsense! Jiang Youran stammered as if Jiang Xiaoyu had poked the most secret secret in his heart, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"Our sister's affairs, don't worry about the eldest sister!" Jiang Yiran walked out of the house and said with a cold face, "Second sister, mother told us to have something!" ”
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Jiang Youran wanted to escape from this place, and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.
Jiang Yiran glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu coldly: "The future husband of the little sister is not as good as the son of the world, and now such a thing has happened, the little sister has already lived a very miserable life, for the sake of the sisters, why should the eldest sister make matters worse?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Say it casually, joke about it, don't take it to heart!" ”
