Chapter 25: You Look Good When You Smile
Since the Wang family married into the Jiang family, the mother-in-law who likes to play leaf cards and chatter has not gotten along well with the second daughter-in-law soaked in ink, so Mrs. Jiang also doesn't like Jiang Muyan, the third granddaughter who is virtuous with her second daughter-in-law.
For Jiang Liu, the sixth girl who doesn't look like her mother, Mrs. Jiang doesn't like it either. Because, this girl is so noisy that her head hurts. However, today, after Jiang stayed in, he honestly stood on the side, which made Mrs. Jiang feel very unusual.
This girl went to live in the temple for three months, is she sensible? Such a quiet and quiet six girls made Mrs. Jiang feel a little satisfied, and she stretched out her hand very kindly, "Liu'er." ”
According to the temperament of the six girls, they will definitely rush over like a cannonball, and Mrs. Jiang is ready to accept the impact, but ...... But this girl didn't move!
Everyone was surprised, Jiang Saburo opened his voice, "Sixth sister, you are deaf, grandmother told you not to hear?" ”
"Bastard, shut up if you can't speak!" Uncle Jiang Song scolded his son, and the eldest lady Chen also dug her son a hard look and told him to be quiet.
Jiang Saburo pursed his lips, Jiang Muyan was just about to open his mouth to explain, Jiang Erye bent down and wanted to report the little girl over.
Jiang Ling was faster than them, he stretched out his arm to pick up his sister, sent it to Mrs. Jiang, and put it down steadily, "The sixth sister is not all right yet, and her movements are a little slow, please grandmother don't be angry with her."
Everyone, including Jiang Sanlang, was stunned, didn't it mean that Jiang Ling was not in good health and had been recuperating outside, how could he have such strength?
Jiang Liu bent his eyes first before calling sweetly, "Grandmother-Mother-Ann." ”
Why didn't I notice that the sixth girl's smile was exactly the same as when her father was a child. Old Madam Jiang's eyebrows softened instantly, "Good boy, grandmother is not angry, the six girls must be seriously chanting Buddha and eating fast in Zangyun Temple, so the Buddha will bless her to stand up so quickly, right?" ”
Jiang Liu smiled and nodded slowly, "Hmm! ”
Her smile made people's hearts melt, and all the elders smiled along with her. Jiang Saburo saw that Fat Six was stupid, and as soon as he "poofed", he was glared at by his father and mother fiercely, and forced back the laughter.
Jiang Song felt that his youngest son was too ignorant, and he had to teach him a good lesson when he returned to the East Courtyard. Chen felt that Jiang Ling's eyes were fierce when she looked at San'er, which gave her an intuition that something was wrong.
Seeing that the second son touched his stomach, Mrs. Jiang knew that he was hungry, and hurriedly ordered, "Set the meal." ”
Jiang's family eats, the men are in the outhouse, and the women are in the back room. In the inner room, all the women sat in a circle. Mrs. Jiang occupies the main seat, with the eldest daughter-in-law Chen on the left and the eldest granddaughter Jiang Murong on the right. Jiang Liu sat next to her sister, on the other side of her was the third aunt Yan, and next to the third aunt Yan was her daughter, the fifth girl, Jiang Mujin. The second girl, Jiang Muzheng, sat cautiously beside her mother-in-law, Chen.
The opportunity was rare, Jiang Liu took a small spoon and looked at all four sisters.
The most beautiful of the four sisters is her own sister Jiang Muyan, and then the second sister Jiang Muzheng who is out of the house, Jiang Muzheng is timid, with a small nose and small eyes; is the seven-year-old fifth sister Jiang Mujin again, Jiang Mujin's appearance follows her mother Yan's, her eyes are not big but very smart, and there are two small pear vortices at the corners of her mouth, and she smiles very cutely; The last is the big sister Jiang Murong.
Jiang Song and Chen are not ugly, but Jiang Murong, a poor child, tragically inherited the shortcomings of his father's appearance: his mother's small eyes, his father's single eyelids and thin lips put together on one face, making her look bland.
Seeing that the eldest sister has been in no energy and has a lot of worries, Jiang Liu feels that her family affairs may not be going well. Jiang Murong is only fifteen years old, and he is still a junior high school kid in modern times, but he has to worry about his family affairs in Da Zhou. Thinking that she was going to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Jiang Liu's whole body refused, and the food in front of her was not fragrant.
"This is the sauce meatballs that your grandmother specially prepared for Liu'er." Yan saw that his mother-in-law looked at the six girls after reading the sauce meatballs, so she cleverly sandwiched a meatball for the six girls.
This meatball was bigger than her small mouth, Jiang Liu didn't know how to put her mouth, but she turned her head and smiled sweetly at Yan, "Xie-Xie-San-Aunt." ”
This smile is what she has practiced in front of the mirror for a long time, and she is definitely not stupid!
When Yan saw the stars in his eyes, he couldn't help but praise, "Oh, this kid, why is it so painful!" ”
Mrs. Jiang also laughed, "The second child was like this when he was a child, which made people can't help but be rare. ”
Chen also praised, "It's amazing that the six girls have grown, I'm afraid that even Chang'e in the sky will have to be compared!" ”
Jiang Murong was unhappy when she heard her mother praise her sixth sister like this, and she clenched her chopsticks; The second girl, Jiang Muzheng, smiled cautiously, and the third girl, Jiang Muyan, kept her tutor who ate and did not sleep or say a word; The fifth girl, Jiang Mujin, puffed up her little face, "Grandmother, is the sixth sister good-looking or Jin'er good-looking?" ”
Mrs. Jiang laughed, "It's all good-looking, all the girls in our Jiang family are good-looking!" ”
Hearing the laughter in the inner room, the men in the outer room also felt comfortable. Jiang Song poured wine for the second and third brothers, and the three of them clinked glasses and drank them all. After finishing the meal, Jiang Sanlang invited Jiang Ling, "Brother Ling, let's play together?" ”
Jiang Ling shook his head, "Sixth sister wants to take medicine." ”
"What's the matter with you when she takes medicine?" Jiang Saburo looked puzzled.
"Bitter medicine."
And then what? The confusion on Jiang Saburo's face tripled.
Jiang Erlang said with a smile, "Sixth sister is the most afraid of hardship, and it must have been Brother Ling who coaxed her to take medicine in the past few months." ”
Jiang Ling nodded, feeling that Erlang looked very pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Wulang looked at Jiang Ling with a look of adoration, "Brother Ling is so powerful!" ”
This is also very pleasing to the eye, Jiang Ling smiled, "I prepared interesting things for the second, third, and fourth brothers......"
Before Jiang Ling could finish speaking, Jiang Saburo jumped up, "What, what?" ”
Jiang Song saw that the little ones were full, so he said, "You guys go play, Hou Erlang remember to take San Lang back to the academy to study." ”
After the four children bent down and bowed and retreated, Jiang Huai asked, "Big brother, second brother, since Ling Er has returned to the house, is the ranking of the children reordered?" ”
Jiang Song, who knew Jiang Ling's life experience, shook his head, "I'm already used to it, I'm afraid it's going to be messy again, what does the second brother think?" ”
Second Master Jiang didn't think it was a big deal, "That's it." By the way, eldest brother, third brother, I want to open a medicinal herb shop, is there a suitable shop in our house? It doesn't have to be too big, just have two or three shops and add a backyard. ”
Seeing that the faces of the eldest brother and the third brother were wrong, Jiang Erye put down his wine glass, "What?" Are you afraid that I will lose my capital? ”
Jiang Song didn't hide it from his younger brother, "It's not, it's just that in our hands, now there are only the rice grain shop on South Street and the cloth village on Ronghua Street." ”
Jiang Huai bowed his head in shame, "The merchants and buyers have gradually broken off contact with us, refusing to supply and refusing to come to our house to get the goods, the younger brother has no ability, and he can't find out what went wrong." ”
Second Master Jiang frowned, "It must be which bastard is secretly squeezing out us!" ”
Jiang Song sighed, "These people won't stop if they don't drive us to a dead end." ”
Second Master Jiang stood up suddenly, "It must be Meng Huizhou's old thing!" He cut off our financial route, and the Meng family should not think about it! ”
Jiang Huai smiled bitterly, "Meng Huizhou is about to be promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department, we are nothing now, what can we do to make the Meng family unhappy?" ”
