Chapter 40: Beating
After Second Master Jiang returned to the mansion with his two daughters, Mrs. Jiang, who was anxiously waiting in the front hall, took her son into her arms, "My son, you are scared to death!" Did you meet your eldest brother and third brother? They have all gone out to seek you. ”
Second Master Jiang shook his head, "I rented a carriage and rushed back, but I didn't see the eldest brother and the third brother." ”
"Send someone to deliver the letter." After Mrs. Jiang finished instructing the steward, she pulled her son and asked, "What's going on?" What's wrong with the six girls, and what's going on with the eyes of the three girls? ”
Second Master Jiang carefully handed over the little girl to Zhao Qingling's arms and asked her to wait for the two girls to go back to the West Courtyard first. Jiang Erye helped his mother back to the North Courtyard and talked about what happened in the West Market.
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was terrified, "Thanks to the cleverness of the six girls." ”
"She does this, let me be." Jiang Erye's face was proud.
Chen and Yan looked at each other, and they were curious whether the ghost of the sixth girl seeing her mother was real or fake. Liu's son is only six years old, so he shouldn't be able to lie...... The more Chen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his arm.
After the two brothers, Jiang Song and Jiang Huai, returned home, their faces were solemn. Jiang Song retreated left and right, and only their brothers and mother were left in the house, and then he said, "The second brother has been rumored to have met Princess Leyang in Foxiang Pavilion outside!" ”
It is said outside that the second brother rejected Princess Leyang, which made Princess Leyang angry and executed in public; It is said that Leyang and his second brother wanted to do something unscrupulous and were discovered; It is also said that the second brother can't endure hardship because the Jiang family is defeated. So he was willing to fall and took the initiative to throw himself into the arms of Leyang!
What a word! His younger brother is a man, even if he says he wants to vote, it is Leyang who throws himself into the arms of his second brother!
No, you can't ask for it!
Jiang Song shook his head vigorously, and said with a straight face, "Second brother, you can't go out during this period, let's avoid the limelight first." ”
Jiang Erye nodded vigorously, whoever looked for him this time, he wouldn't go out.
Jiang Huai said of Meng San, "Princess Leyang will suddenly appear in the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, it must be a bad idea from Meng San, my mother should marry the second brother as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
"I don't want it!" Jiang Erye jumped to his feet.
Old Madam Jiang thought so, "If you settle down early, your mother can feel at ease." ”
No! Second Master Jiang looked at his eldest brother with teary eyes.
Jiang Song couldn't bear it and persuaded, "Today's matter has spread, and it may not be easy to book a good family affair for the second brother immediately." ”
Others can't do it, but the second brother is different! There are more people in Kang'an City who want to marry the second brother. Jiang Huai opened his mouth and said, "I ......"
"What are you?" Second Master Jiang glared at the third brother with big eyes, and then took out the handbeads he had just bought from his arms and presented them to his mother, "Mother, this is the birthday gift that my son chose for you when he went to the Buddha Xiang Pavilion." Children wish their mothers happiness such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. ”
Mrs. Jiang held the beads, and her eyes were red, "My son, ......"
Where did you get the money to buy something so expensive? Didn't you take something of value on you? Damn stupid......
Seeing that his mother was moved, Jiang Erye immediately said aggrievedly, "Just now in Foxiang Building, Liu'er cried to find his mother, and his son also said in front of everyone that he missed his deceased wife." If you look for a matchmaker to say goodbye to your son in the past two days, won't you let the old and young people in Kang'an City poke your son's backbone? ”
Before Mrs. Jiang could say anything, the old housekeeper Jiang Hou ran in panting, "Old madam, the carriage of Princess Leyang's Mansion is coming to our house!" ”
What is Leyang going to do?! Old Madam Jiang was furious, "It's bright in broad daylight, they still dare to rob it!" ”
Seeing that the second brother's face turned white with fright, Jiang Song hurriedly asked, "Uncle Hou, can you inquire about their intentions?" ”
The old butler with his hands on his knees poured out this breath before saying, "I said that I came to deliver tonic medicine to the sixth girl." ”
All......
Second Master Jiang slumped back into his chair, "Uncle Hou, in the future, let the young people do the work of running errands and passing the word." ”
Old Madam Jiang frowned, "Sending medicine to the six girls is just a cover for Princess Leyang, she wants to test the attitude of our house." Listen to the old body!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang stood up, and everyone in the room also stood up and lowered their hands to listen to the training.
"The people from the princess's mansion are here, let's treat each other politely, but we must not say a word of nonsense. If anyone dares to talk more, the family law will serve! ”
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison.
Second Master Jiang felt a little relieved, "Mother, let Liu'er continue to sleep, right?" ”
Xiao Liu'er is not good yet, and it is difficult to walk and talk. When I was in the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion, in order to help my father get out, I cried with all my might, and I was already tired.
Old Madam Jiang nodded, "She's sick, of course she can't come out to meet guests, the girls don't have to go out, and you don't have to show up." Mother and daughter-in-law go! ”
Second Master Jiang nodded hurriedly, "Son is waiting for my mother here, and I won't go anywhere." ”
Seeing her son's scared appearance, Mrs. Jiang was very distressed and went to the front yard angrily.
After the old lady left, Jiang Erye couldn't sit still, so he simply went back to the west courtyard to see the little girl.
This little girl was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly with her mouth open. Jiang Erye gently held his daughter's little chubby paws, and his heart was a little more steady.
In the main hall of the front yard, Mrs. Jiang was chatting with Mama Su from the princess's mansion.
Mama Su is an old man from the palace, and she is used to observing words and feelings, and she can see Jiang's mother's attitude clearly, and she is very unhappy in her heart.
Over the years, the princess has looked at any man twice, and his family has to be grateful to Dade for sending people to the princess's mansion. Jiang Feng is the first one who can make the princess bother so much.
Princess Leyang is so noble, she can look at the useless Jiang Feng is the blessing of the Jiang family, I didn't expect the Jiang family to be so ignorant!
If you don't know how to lift, you have to beat!
Mama Su opened her mouth with a smile, "I heard that Master Jiang is still at home, why don't you go back to the Ministry of Rites to do things?" ”
Chen tightened the handkerchief in his hand, did the old man not want to go back? Someone won't let him go back!
Old Madam Jiang said with a smile, "Mama's words are wrong. My son has been worried about his father for less than three years, how dare he violate the court's etiquette and go back to the yamen to do things. ”
According to the law of the Great Zhou, if the parents die, the official should be relieved of the official and go home for 27 months, and the service can be restored.
Mama Su secretly pinched her fingers and calculated, Master Jiang died in August of the first year of Jinghe, and today is September of the third year of Jinghe, and there are still two months left to be fully served! Ordinary officials Ding Wei will go back to the yamen after two years, and after 27 months, he will officially go back to work. Jiang Song's road to the return department has been blocked, and he can only worry about it honestly at home!
Mama Su sneered in her heart, her son is not good, and she has a grandson!
"Two days ago, my princess entered the palace to greet the queen mother, and the saint also mentioned the matter of learning to read for the princes. I heard the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine say that the young master Siyao in the house is quite perceptive in reading? ”
Chen didn't care about twisting the veil, and stared at Mama Su with bright eyes.
After the words arrived, Mama Su picked up the teacup and waited for Mother Jiang to beg her with a smug expression.
Old Madam Jiang also took a few sips of the teacup before she said with a touched face, "The saint not only has the world in mind, but also a loving father who cares about his son's schoolwork, God bless me Da Zhou." ”
"Poof-" Mama Su squirted out a sip of tea. She finally understood that only such a confused mother could give birth to a son as wasteful as Jiang Feng!
