CHAPTER IX

After the return of Weiguo Temple and his entourage, Jiang Nianhan had a very comfortable life for a few days, Yun Niang was busy taking care of Bao'er and had no time to find faults, and Liu's mother, who was pinched the handle, was directly sent home by her on the grounds of old age and decay, and the damn system did not make a sound for several days to give her a task.

In addition to eating and drinking every day, she practiced and slept, although she lived idlely, but this was the rich and noble day that Miss General's Mansion should have in her heart.

"Miss, hurry up and put this short body away! The old lady is coming back! ”

On this day, Jiang Nianhan got up early in the morning, deliberately changed into a short brown dress that only a small girl wore, and was about to practice with a wooden stick, when he saw Bi Tao panting and running in from outside, and the silver hairpin on his head hung crookedly between his temples and did not know it.

"Old lady?"

Since she came to the General's Mansion, she didn't know what other elders there were in the mansion, and as soon as Bi Tao mentioned it at this moment, the system was immediately activated and sent her all the information of this old lady.

It turned out that the so-called old lady was not Jiang Chenglin and Jiang Chengwen's biological mother, but a concubine of the old general before his death. Because Jiang Chenglin and Jiang Chengwen's parents died early, there could be no elders in the house, so this low-born concubine picked up a leak and was respected as an old lady.

On the surface, the old lady is not the biological mother of these two brothers, and she is not very close to the two rooms of the big house, but in fact, because the second room has an only son, Bao'er, but the big room has no male heirs, the old lady loves her grandson so much, she loves the house and Wudi and deflects all her heart to the second room.

The old lady is not in good health, and she is often not in the capital for three or two months in the harsh winter, and she wants to go to the warm place in the south of the Yangtze River to spend the winter, so Jiang Nianhan has never seen her.

Seeing her standing in place and silent, Bi Tao was even more anxious, and pushed her to the inner room: "Miss, hurry up and dress up, the old lady's temper, if you ask An to be slower, there will be no good fruit to eat!" ”

A small concubine room, how can such a big score? Jiang Nianhan wondered in his heart, it can be seen that this old lady also has a lot of means.

Since she was going to see her elders, she had to be more solemn, put aside all those bright colors and lively styles, chose a long-sleeved dress with lotus blue and gold trim, smeared some red rouge on her lips, and spread out the ponytail tied above her head, and re-tied it into a puffy bun, which was decorated with ruby hairpins on the side, so as to suppress the slightly dull color.

After dressing up, I looked in the mirror again, and her face was originally a little coquettish, and it seemed a little inconsistent to wrap it in this dress, but fortunately, she was tall and plump, and she actually held up this solemn lotus blue, and the end was quite a bit casual, and even Bi Tao was surprised when she saw it.

"The second lady of our family was born to be the material of the princess." Bi Tao smiled.

"Just your sweet mouth - wait, let's be here now, it's estimated that it's too late, I'm afraid that the old lady will make a show of this, Bi Tao, you find something to come out, let's bring it just in case."

Along the way, Jiang Nianhan couldn't help but secretly admire the old lady's methods again.

If you want to know the identity and status of a lady, just look at the people in her house. Those who were used to being idle on weekdays were also waiting with bated breath today, from her yard to the lobby, everywhere was cleaned, and even the wild cats that were often scurrying around in the house were gone.

It can be seen that this old lady is extraordinary in majesty and has unusual methods of governing the family.

"Second Miss has arrived." Walking to the door, a girl with a raw face bowed down with a smile, and then passed inside, and then opened the curtain.

Jiang Nianhan pursed the corners of his lips slightly, only nodded in response, and then walked into the lobby with light steps.

The old lady sat in the middle of the lobby, holding Bao'er in her arms and teasing. From a distance, she is just a very ordinary lady, with a head full of pearls and emeralds swaying, not to mention the neat makeup, the jade bracelet dangling on the wrist, the jasper wrench on the thin fingers, and the white pearl earrings hanging on the earlobes, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is rich and noble.

"Why are you late again? I look at the daughters in this house, you are the most obedient, the good daughter's family has to go to practice martial arts, your father is used to you, but I see you more and more pampered and arrogant! When I went back to my house today, I came to say hello one by one, but you were late, why did you not understand the rules so much?! Yun Niang, how do you think I should punish her? ”

Before she could meet the old lady's eyes, she was reprimanded with a face.

Looking around again, sure enough, the ladies in the house were all there, Yun Niang sat next to the main seat, obviously the daughter-in-law who was most favored by the old lady, and Jing Jue sat farther away, and then Jiang Liu'er, Jiang Lanzhi and Jiang Nianwei wearing a veil.

If Jiang Nianhan was dismounted by the old lady, I am afraid that he would be so frightened on the spot that he would not choose to speak, or cry out in shame.

But fifteen worlds, what kind of superior person she hasn't seen? is the queen mother, she has also confronted in court, how can she be afraid of a small general's concubine?

Jiang Nianhan and the old lady looked at each other, and didn't say a word for the time being, but their eyes roamed over her face.

Just looking at the face, the old lady looked noble and graceful, but in fact, the light between the eyebrows and eyes was exposed, and then looked at the movements of her little finger when drinking tea, the high eyebrows and the corners of the eyes between the conversations, and the pearl and emerald jewelry on weekdays at home, so heavy that she was afraid that people would not be able to see the wealth of her family, and the atmosphere of the market quietly spread.

Looking at her ranking again, Mrs. Dafang succumbed to the second room, and the daughter of the big room was late, but she asked Mrs. Erfang how to deal with it, and she was so biased that she didn't even care about the rules of the elders and children, and she was definitely not a lady raised by a big family.

came from a humble background, but she was able to be respected in the General's Mansion, I don't know what kind of means she has.

"Grandmother said yes." She lowered her eyebrows and followed the old lady's words, "I'm late today, but if you talk about rewards and punishments, the matter of the big house is still handed over to the big house after all, I did something wrong, and my mother should punish me, why do I want to trouble my aunt?" ”

"You still dare to talk back?" The old lady was slightly surprised in her heart, but she didn't expect Jiang Nianhan to respond like this.

She is eccentric to the second room on weekdays, and she is most unaccustomed to the big room. Jiang Nianwei self-destructed, it was better to be quiet, but this Jiang Nianhan, not to mention the foolishness, was going to take away Jiang Liu'er and Jiang Lanzhi's position as the princess of Jin, how could this tolerate her?

Jiang Nianhan's head hung lower, looking respectful, but his mouth was not indistinguishable: "Han'er doesn't dare." Today I came late, there are also some reasons, some time ago in the Weiguo Temple, Bao'er frightened, I want to visit after returning home, I don't know why my aunt is not allowed, knowing that today's old lady returned home, I embroidered a peace charm overnight, want to put on Bao'er to keep safe, stayed up all night, and slept early in the morning, so it was late. ”

She motioned to Bi Tao with her eyes to present the brand-new peace charm in her sleeve, and sure enough, this time, not only Yun Niang had nothing to say, but the old lady was also speechless.

Naturally, she didn't embroider the peace charm, but she had already expected that the old lady would make a fuss about her asking An to be late, and before leaving, she told Bi Tao to find a new small object to bring at will, so that she could have an excuse.

Yun Niang didn't allow her to visit Bao'er, originally she had a mind to prevent her, she stayed up all night to embroider and send a peace charm, which made it even more obvious that Yun Niang's villain's heart spent her gentleman's belly, and no one could find fault with her.

The old lady was silent with a tense face, and she was not polite, so she ordered her subordinates to move an embroidered stool and sit beside Jiang Nianwei.

"You, you're really bold, what does she teach you, you just listen, what are you doing?" Jiang Nianwei put her hand on her knee and whispered worriedly.

Jiang Nianwei smiled slightly and didn't answer, her eyes only followed the old lady's every move.

"A few days ago, I heard that Concubine Jin came to our house to see each other, but she was disturbed by some ignorant people. But this marriage contract was made when the old King Jin was still there, I thought, while I went back to the house today, I invited the concubine and the King of Jin to see each other again, which can be regarded as giving someone an explanation and deciding the matter as soon as possible. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the room were different.

Jiang Liu'er is naturally a little resentful, although the matter between her and Xu Yunliang did not go out of the house under the strong pressure of Yun Niang, but in the end, the reputation is not good, Yun Niang and the old lady will not leave the position of princess to her no matter how much they have the heart.

And Jiang Lanzhi stretched her face and grabbed the skirt with her fingers, obviously restraining the throbbing and shyness in her heart - Jiang Liu'er fell, didn't she also have a chance? The old lady has always loved the second room, and today she is in charge, and most of this matter has been completed.

"Also, my father is not here today, so it's convenient for my grandmother to do things." Jiang Nianhan seemed to be clueless, which attracted the old lady's angry eyes.

These days, the border defense is a little tight, Jiang Chenglin was sent to the border by the saint, which was originally a common thing, but while Jiang Chenglin, who loved his daughter, was absent to discuss the marriage contract with the Jin Palace, Jing Jue, the only one who could be the master of the big house, was cowardly and careless, and the old lady's intentions were clearly revealed.

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent, only the old lady's undulating panting.

She could have left it out and acted more obediently, but she didn't want to.

No matter how many times she has experienced it, she Jiang Nianhan has always been this character, when she is strong, she is strong, if your arrogance is weaker, others will bully you more unscrupulously - no matter what world it is.

What's more, the old lady just has some skills in the general's mansion, a woman with no prestige and no deep background, what is there to fear? Jiang Nianhan just wanted to provoke her, little by little, to eat away at her pretended majesty and grandeur little by little, so that she could reveal her original and most unbearable posture.

The old lady may have laughed angrily, but after calming down, she said: "Han'er, you go to the kitchen and take a look, Concubine Jin and they are almost here, I ordered the kitchen to prepare some good tea and rice, you go and watch them make it, so as to save those people who are clumsy and don't know how to entertain distinguished guests." Liu Er and Lan Zhi dressed up a little and went with me to meet the guests. ”

Bring her to the back kitchen?

Jiang Nianhan raised his head, but saw a worried look on Jiang Nianwei's face under the veil.

The Jin Wangfu looked at each other again, but the old lady asked her to go to the kitchen, nominally to let her watch the subordinates, but in fact she still wanted to send her out - in other words, the position of the princess of Jin would not give her a chance at all!

The system in her head suddenly sounded a warning sound, Jiang Nianhan knew that she had to think of a way, otherwise, if she lost this opportunity, Jiang Chenglin would not be able to come back for a while, and a few months of hard work was enough for the old lady to support the second room and give up the position of Princess Jin.
