975 Jiang family elders who have not been seen for a long time
Of course, Shen Wangxin didn't care about this, she naturally took her eyes off the little boy, and gently glanced at the few elders who had dealt with her, and the corners of her lips involuntarily hooked upward.
Sitting in the corner of the hall, an old man with gray hair was drinking soup. Because of his age, his hand holding the spoon trembled slightly, so when he drank the soup, he involuntarily spilled the soup on his beard.
A maid standing beside him tried her best to hide her disgust, as if she had not seen the old man's appearance. It wasn't until the other party shouted in dissatisfaction that she frowned and wiped the old man's beard with a cloth.
The chief butler naturally noticed this scene, and he didn't have any feelings for this one. But since the last time, Shen Wangxin pulled him to block the old man's thick phlegm for her, and after the big housekeeper saw him, he couldn't help but think of the events of that day.
He tried his best to suppress his impulse, but when he walked up to the old man, the other party specially called him over, and asked with a sly smile: "Butler, how did the old man's saliva taste last time?" ”
The chief butler felt that his face had stiffened, and for the first time, he flicked his sleeves away. Before he knew it, he was in the kitchen, and he looked at the busy cook several times at the kitchen door, and then quietly pulled him outside to talk.
He planned to add some ingredients to the old man's dish.
After Shen Wangxin and Jiang Xian arrived, this family banquet officially began. First of all, there are a few appetizers and seasonal melons and fruits. With Aunt Wang's order, a group of dancing girls came in outside and danced to the music.
To tell the truth, the dances of these dancing girls are far inferior to the dances that Shen Wangxin has seen in the Guantian Tea House, the dances of the golden class dancers of Penglai Pavilion. But everyone still watched it with relish, especially the old man, who couldn't even drink the soup.
The chief butler had already returned from the kitchen, and as if he had learned of some happy event, he walked to Shen Wangxin's side in high spirits.
He saw that Shen Wangxin was not very interested in these, so he said with a smile: "It is normal that the county lord is not interested, these dancing girls were given to Hou Ye to raise in the mansion a few years ago. Now that I'm older, I neglect to practice on weekdays, and I'm a lot more rusty. When Mrs. Auntie and Miss Cousin passed through the pear orchard, they found a few of them, so they ordered them to dance in a row to the family banquet. ”
Shen Wangxin heard this, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
I have to say that although these dancing girls are negligent in practicing, because of their beautiful posture, the effect of jumping is barely enough. The most important thing is that the appearance is good, and it is no wonder that some people have straight eyes.
Thinking of this, Shen Wangxin glanced at Jiang Xian and An Guohou, and found that the expressions on the faces of the father and son were faint. They have seen a lot of the world, and naturally they were not hooked because of the graceful figures of a few dancing girls.
But the male elders of the Jiang family are different, Xu is usually less beautiful, and he can't wait to stick his eyes to these dancing girls.
Shen Wangxin felt bored when he saw it, retracted his gaze, took a piece of venison in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
As soon as the dancers finished the dance, they lined up and retreated.
Shen Wangxin and Jiang Xian, as juniors, naturally had to toast to the elders during the family banquet. Although Jiang Xian usually didn't want to deal with them, he didn't mean to lose face at the family banquet, so he stood up and drank with them with a wine glass.
Because Shen Wangxin was pregnant, he replaced wine with tea, which meant a while.
But as soon as she was about to sit down, she saw the old man on the opposite side who came back to find fault and spit on the housekeeper's face and said loudly: "Granddaughter-in-law, this is not right, so many of our elders take wine and drink with you, but you replace the wine with tea, and you only mean to take such a small sip, this is too shameful for us, right?" ”
Shen Wangxin glanced at the old man lightly when he heard this, last time they came in a hurry, Shen Wangxin didn't even figure out who these people were.
But after they made trouble, Shen Wangxin deliberately went to understand all the elders of the Jiang family. Therefore, when I met this person again, I had a little clarity in my heart.
This person's name is Jiang Rong, and he is the elder of the Jiang family's second room, and even An Guohou has to call him the second uncle.
Now most of the old people of the Jiang family have gone, or they are too sick to go out. When he was young, he was a fool of the Jiang family, and his behavior was very absurd, and he couldn't change it when he was old.
On the contrary, when I get old, I am not bound by my elders, and I am more and more doing my own thing.
And the middle-aged man who brought someone to the Hou Mansion to question her last time was Jiang Zhengyuan.
The head of the Jiang family was not in the clan, so he did the patriarch's thing. Over time, I really feel that I can interfere in everything, and it seems that I am strict with discipline, but in fact, I am stubborn and self-serving.
Shen Wangxin sent someone to inquire about the two of them, and found that wherever there was Jiang Rong, there was Jiang Zhengyuan. It seems that he treats Jiang Rong as a gun in his hand. And Jiang Rong only knew that he had this nephew behind him to support him, but he didn't know that he was being used by others.
After briefly going through the information of the two of them in his mind, Shen Wangxin smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't drink alcohol today, so I have to replace it with tea." If there is nothing else to teach, I will sit down first. ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Rong's reaction, she sat down with Shi Shiran.
