Chapter XXIV: Hostility
"When did my brother come back? Why don't you say hello? My brother hasn't written back for a long time? ”
In front of Jiang Xi, Jiang Cheng was also more childish.
"I set off the day before yesterday and was delayed on the road for some time. However, the letter was written, and the letter was slow, probably arriving later. Jiang Xi slowly explained to Jiang Cheng.
While talking, the two had already arrived in the backyard.
"Really?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised.
"Of course it's true."
Under the begonia tree, Liu Liu and Liu Yi went through the affairs of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family is a famous family in Liuzhou, and they are also the masters of Xuanguo. There is the Cheng family in the court, and there is the Jiang family in the field.
It's just that when Jiang Dong was born, the main family made a big mistake and stood on the wrong team, and the nine clans were connected. The only fortunate thing is that Jiang Dong's father stood on the right side, which left the blood of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family also slowly recovered and developed in Jiang Dong's hands.
It's just that Jiang Dong explicitly ordered the descendants of the clan not to enter the court to do things. Even if his father is kind to the current emperor.
Today, Jiang Dong's eldest son runs the cloth village left by his ancestors, but Jiang Dong retreats into the background and lives an idle life with his wife in the house.
Jiang Dong has five children, three sons, two daughters, the youngest daughter is ten years old this year, taken by Mama, and the youngest son is Jiang Cheng, who is seventeen years old this year.
The eldest son, Jiang Xi, has a wife's room, surnamed Qian, and his name is Qian Linlang. There was a side room with a name of Yi Qianqian, who died of illness three years ago.
Liu Yi paid more attention to Jiang Chi, the second young master of the Jiang family, and also asked many things from the little girl's mouth.
It is said that the girl that Jiang Chi, the second young master of the Jiang family, likes is the side room of the young master Jiang, but the girl in this side room likes Jiang Xi too much, and Jiang Chi can only be ecstatic, watching his eldest brother marry his beloved girl into the house.
Liu Liu recalled Jiang Xi's person, and only felt that his excessive enthusiasm and coldness under the enthusiasm did not have a good impression.
Moreover, faintly, Liu Liu felt that Jiang Xi had an inexplicable hostility towards them, which was not obvious, but it made Liu Liu feel very uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law."
In the pavilion next to the garden, Jiang Xi saw Qian Linlang, the woman with the body of her sweetheart.
Of course, the person in front of me is not.
"How is it here? The weather is still cold, purple bamboo. With that, Jiang Xi stepped forward, took the cloak in Zizhu's hand, and put it on the woman.
"It's not the weather and the warmth. One winter, my body was about to fall apart, and it was difficult to get out for a walk.
The woman's voice is like a pearl and jade, like a bird whispering among flowers, good but not tired, gentle but not alienated.
The woman combed a delphinium bun, a jade hairpin decorated with purple tassels, her complexion was like snow, her lips were like cherries, and her peach blossom eyes were charming.
Seeing him coming, the woman waved her hand and asked a few maids to go down.
The big girl Zizhu and Blue Sakura glanced at her, but they were also waved away by her.
Until there was no one around, the woman's dignified appearance suddenly dispersed, and she looked at Jiang Xi with some disgust.
Tightening his cloak, Qian Linlang said, "Have time to come over today?" How is Zhuangzi's business? Don't need you to take care of it? ”
Listening to her prickly words, Jiang Xi was not annoyed, but looked at her with gentle eyebrows, and her voice was as gentle as jade.
"Everything in the family is taken care of by the eldest brother, and what I need to do now is to work the imperial examination."
When he said this, Jiang Xi's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and he actually gave Qian Linlang a feeling of pity.
"Then you still don't go back to your room and study hard?" Qian Linlang knew that she was rude, and she actually looked at Jiang Xi for a long time.
Suddenly turned his eyes and looked at the swimming fish in the clear water, Qian Linlang chased the guest.
"Big brother is back." Jiang Xi was not annoyed, and went to see her rather playfully.
"Really?" Qian Linlang was very surprised, her face immediately turned cloudy to clear, and she looked at Jiang Xi angrily.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Seeing Qian Linlang walking faster than usual, Jiang Xi twisted the flower he had just picked in his hand, and red juice flowed down.
