Chapter 23: Needless Verbal Battles, Avoid It

There is a custom in the ancient Dayuan Dynasty that when a woman marries into her husband's family, she and her children generally respect her mother-in-law as "grandma" to show respect, which is also a reflection of the low status of women.

Wen opened his mouth before he could say more.

"Auntie, it's my own will, and it's all a trivial matter, and it's not in the way," Yun Jiao looked up at Wen and smiled obediently.

She doesn't want the two aunts to quarrel here, her grandmother's current situation, I'm afraid that the quieter the better, and the eldest aunt has always treated her well, and she doesn't want the eldest aunt to be bullied and humiliated by the second aunt because of herself.

A woman in the Dayuan Dynasty can remarry if she loses her husband.

If the husband cannot afford to support his wife and children, the wife can also report to the official and ask for peace.

If the husband goes out for three years and does not return, the wife also has the right to remarry.

Yun Jiao's eldest aunt recruited two widowers into the door after the death of her eldest uncle, which can be regarded as a wealth.

After all, her two daughters are married, although the adopted son is not far away, but she is not as good as a close neighbor, she is lonely, and it is good to have someone to talk to.

Unfortunately, both men died within a few years of marrying her.

There are many things that she wants to experience, and she has seen it, and she has been widowed since then.

It is rumored outside that the eldest aunt Kefu said what Lao Shizi's three husbands lived, all kinds of remarks, and so on, but there was nothing good to say.

As a family, the second aunt was supposed to talk nonsense to the eldest aunt and not let outsiders talk nonsense, but she got involved in it and talked more energetically than others.

Fortunately, the eldest aunt knows who she is, and she has never taken her words to heart, if she is angry, I am afraid that she will have a heart to hang.

If the two of them quarrel because of her, the second aunt will have to tease the eldest aunt with those things, Yun Jiao can't bear to see the eldest aunt's heartache, and the meaningless battle of tongues can be avoided.

Wen knew that she was sensible, patted her on the shoulder and said no more, and slowly walked to the bedside to look at Mrs. Qian.

"Grandma, what's going on today?" She looked down at the old man on the bed.

Old Madam Qian didn't seem to look at her, didn't say a word, and stared at the top of the bed with cloudy eyes.

Wen sat down on the edge of the bed, took her thin hand and sighed: "You said how good you are like this, how can you be a capable person at that time, how can you say that you are confused!" ”

As he was talking, there was a bit of noise outside.

"Sir, my lord......" Outside are the maidservants saluting.

Ding stood up.

Wen also got up and said, "Shihai is here." ”

Yun Jiao also stood up, and saw that the curtain of the door was lifted, and the second uncle Qian Shihai walked in.

He looks like his grandfather, not too tall, very thin, wearing a straight skirt of stone gray Shu brocade, with two jade pendants hanging on his waist, looking like a rich businessman, with a smile on his face.

Yun Jiao's heart moved, her second uncle said that she couldn't see her for a few days, and the second uncle didn't like to laugh very much, this smile was obviously not for her.

Sure enough, I saw a person walking into the door following Qian Shihai.

When I looked closely, it was Qin Nanfeng's uncle, Zhao Zhongyong, the commander of the loyal army.

Yun Jiao knew in her heart, no wonder the second uncle smiled like that, it was because of this.

Although the Dayuan Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, if the civil official and the military attache were of the same rank, the military attache would bow his head as conventional.

But this loyal military commander is also a five-grade official, and Zhao Zhongyong was born in a family of soldiers, and over time, when he has made military achievements, he will definitely be promoted, and Qian Shihai is a businessman, so he is naturally respectful.

Yun Jiao was a little puzzled, she was also the daughter of a third-grade civil official, why didn't the second uncle please her?

After thinking for a while, she realized, yes, the second uncle and her father were originally very unhappy because of the dowry, and her father was not yet in high school, but a poor talent, and I heard that the second uncle had humiliated him many times.

And she is just a concubine now, and her biological mother has also changed from a main mother to an aunt, and the second uncle should look down on her.

Besides, looking at the second uncle's unrelenting attitude, it was strange that the second uncle dared to get close to her.

Zhao Zhongyong was born tall and big, wearing a short-sleeved robe made of animal skin, warm and light, with combat boots on his feet, and he was majestic and not angry.

Yun Jiao couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart when she looked at him, I was afraid that only people who had really fought and killed the enemy would have such a bold momentum.

"Second uncle." Yun Jiao saluted Qian Shihai.

"Yun Jiao," Qian Shihai took two steps forward, his expression was a little complicated, but when he saw the face of the Ding family next to him, he immediately acted as if nothing happened: "Hurry up and say hello to Lord Zhao." ”

"Lord Zhao is fine." Yun Jiao saluted obediently.

Over there, Wen and Ding both saluted, and then strode in a young man outside, followed by a small servant.

Yun Jiao wanted to laugh when she saw that figure.

Thinking that Qin Nanfeng wanted to come to see Mrs. Qian, he said to listen to his uncle.

Zhao Zhongyong is a loving and righteous person, and Mrs. Qian is the grandmother of Qian Xiangshan's relatives, since he knows about this, he naturally wants to visit.

Over there, Qian Shihai and Zhao Zhongyong were already standing beside Mrs. Qian's bedside, and Qian Shihai was whispering about the old man's condition.

"Young Master Qin," Ding Shi hurriedly greeted Qin Nanfeng, smiling kindly, completely missing Fang Cai's sharp face towards Yun Jiao.

Qin Nanfeng nodded lightly disappreciatively, but looked at Yun Jiao's place.

"Xiao Jiu, how do you do your own laundry?" He paced to the edge of the tub and stood still, frowning and puzzled: "Besides, why do you have to wash clothes in the room?" ”

Although he had never washed his clothes, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run, and was he not washing clothes by a well or by a river?

Yun Jiao didn't know how to explain for a while, so she had to say perfunctorily: "It's nothing." ”

"I know that you don't have enough people under your hands," Qin Nanfeng smiled proudly, turned back to the little guy and said, "Wan Nianqing, go and call people in." ”

The little guy was white and pure, and he looked very clever with clear eyebrows, but he still looked at him stupidly when he heard his words at the moment.

"Stupidly look at what I'm doing!" Qin Nanfeng slapped him on the head unceremoniously: "Hurry up!" ”

The little guy woke up like a dream, and he was very aggrieved when he covered his head: "Young master, isn't the little one called 'Tiger'?" How can it be called 'ten thousand...... Evergreen'? ”

Yun Jiao chuckled, although Qin Nanfeng claimed to not like to read, but he must have read a lot of books on weekdays, "Tiger" is a symbol of courage and strength, and it can represent "invincible" on the battlefield.

As far as the name of this little guy is concerned, although he didn't work hard in reading, he never insulted the scholarly family.

"Young Master Ben wants to change it, what so much nonsense," Qin Nanfeng raised his foot and wanted to kick.

The little guy was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his ass and ran out.
