12, the concubine enters the house
In Jiang Nianhan's eyes, the family in the second room is like a fish fluttering in a puddle after the rain, no matter how big the movement is, it can't make any waves.
Whether it is the world she once lived in, or the world that the system forcibly brought her, it is straightforward and cruel, and there is nothing but strength that people can rely on. It just so happens that Jiang Chenglin is far stronger than Jiang Chengwen, and the entire General's Mansion has always respected Jiang Chenglin - the old lady is not a character at all, a woman with no real power, even if she wants to do it, she can't do anything earth-shattering.
It wasn't until three days after Mo Shuyan's last visit that she realized that this time, the second room was really broken, trapped in a puddle of dying fish, trying its best to churn, and it could splash people with a smelly sound.
When the old lady is in the house, everyone needs to say hello every day, and during the day, the old lady will often say some important things in the house, or send some things to the ladies in the house to do.
On this day, Jiang Nianhan sat beside Jiang Nianwei as always, pretending to listen attentively to the chatter of the old lady sitting on the main seat, but in fact, he sat quietly with his eyes down and pretended to sleep. She got up early to say goodbye for days, but she was so sleepy, coupled with the system's repeated warnings that she was careful of the tricks of the second room, which made her often sleepless at night.
“...... Since it is so decided, the day after tomorrow, I will take Sing Yue into the mansion and pass through the door, after all, there is no male heir in the big house, and the incense must always be renewed......" The old lady's gaze swept to her side, and the words in her mouth also paused, obviously she had noticed that Jiang Nianhan was distracted, and the corners of her mouth pursed disdainfully before she said, "Yun Niang, you and the Dafang family are also ready to prepare, although it is just a concubine, but you can't lose the face and pomp of the general's mansion." ”
The old lady has always been close to the second room and is not in harmony with the big house, which is a well-known thing, so she calls Yun Niang by the name of the boudoir, but calls Jing Jue with the name of "the big house", which can be seen in the intimacy.
"Concubine?!" was stared at by her like this, Jiang Nianhan's little drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and only then did he realize what the old lady had just said.
Hearing her exclamation of surprise, Jiang Nianwei gently twisted her thighs and signaled her not to make any more trouble, and then, the light veil on Jiang Nianwei's face moved slightly.
Jiang Nianwei turned her head sideways and whispered: "Grandmother just said that she wants to take my father's outer room Singing Moon into the mansion to live - that being said, I have never heard of this Singing Moon ......"
As a daughter, it is disrespectful to talk about her father's affairs in vain, Jiang Nianwei suppressed her voice knowingly, and closed her mouth no more.
There is nothing big about it today, the old lady is a little tired, and she raised her hand to signal the girl next to her to come over and beat her legs, and the juniors below naturally know how to look at them, and they saluted and resigned.
"Hypocritical old thing." Jiang Nianhan walked out, glanced back at the old lady who was half-lying on the chair with her eyes closed, and scolded in a low voice - inexplicably took Jiang Chenglin's outer room into the mansion, or when he was not at home, he must not have any good intentions.
"You also pay attention, knowing that she is a little prejudiced against Dafang, and she still says these words, in case someone pinches the handle-" Jiang Nianwei also walked on the path with her, with some pity, and gently poked her forehead with her fingertips.
Although she is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the big house, but because of her disfigurement, she was born with a quiet temperament, Jiang Nianwei has always been cautious in the house, which is completely different from Jiang Nianhan, who acted recklessly in the past, perhaps because of this, Yun Niang and others have never given her a trigger over the years.
Jiang Nianhan smiled, the action of poking her forehead was intimate and familiar, which made her think of another man who loved to wear white clothes and also pointed at the corners of her forehead with her fingertips when she was teasing Yun Niang and others.
Seeing her smile and red ears, Jiang Nianwei said a little strangely: "What's wrong?" I'm still asking you, my father loves you all these years, and you often go to his room to play, have you ever heard that your father has a pregnant outer room? ”
Does Jiang Chenglin have an outer room, how can she know about a cheap daughter who was killed halfway? asked the system several times and did not respond, Jiang Nianhan confirmed that this singing moon was definitely deliberately arranged by the second room.
Past experience has taught her that all the characters related to her and their background information will be provided in detail to facilitate her survival; But the system will never reveal any information directly related to the mission.
However, seeing that Jiang Nianwei's beautiful eyes under the veil were full of worry, Jiang Nianhan comforted her and said, "Isn't it the day after tomorrow?" We'll find out then. ”
She said this to widen her sister's heart, but she couldn't help but think of countermeasures in her heart. A woman of unknown origin, the old lady took advantage of Jiang Chenglin's absence to find an excuse to insert her into the General's Mansion, what is the purpose?
Jiang Chenglin was far away at the border pass and did not return, but the general's mansion planned to start including the outer room into the mansion for him - the old lady's statement was that as soon as the border pass was tight, Jiang Chenglin had not heard from him for many days, and the happy event in the mansion was regarded as a joy for him; Second, it is not a glorious thing to raise an outer room, and it is also for Jiang Chenglin's reputation to be brought into the house; Third, if Sing Yue is a male fetus in her womb, it will be a big deal for Jiang Chenglin, who has no children under his knees.
So, three days later, the bride was quietly sent into the general's mansion by a small sedan chair, without much pomp, just simply set up a table for a family banquet, set up the heaven and earth high hall, the woman named Singing Moon changed into homely clothes, and saw the people in the house one by one.
This is indeed a woman with a top symbol, a pointed face and big eyes, even if she is pregnant, her waist is like a willow in the wind, although her face is beautiful, but she is a concubine with a foxy appearance.
Jiang Nianhan was picking up the vegetables while carefully studying the reactions of everyone at the banquet.
The old lady did not pretend, it seemed that it was really for Jiang Chenglin's consideration, so she took this woman into the mansion, Yun Niang treated people as affectionately as always, and Jing Jue, after all, was a concubine for her husband, and the other party was such a beautiful young woman, she was a little dissatisfied, but her face was not obvious, but the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed without saying a word.
"See what?" Seeing that her chopsticks stopped on a plate of goose oil incense rolls and didn't move for a long time, Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but shake her head funny, and put a incense roll into her plate.
Jiang Nianhan retracted his gaze at this time, poked the incense roll with chopsticks and said, "I don't know, I always feel that something is wrong." ”
What's wrong?
Her eyes stayed on Singing Yue's body again, this new aunt was serving tea to the old lady at this time, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and she really couldn't see anything wrong.
"If you find anything, tell me carefully. My father is not here, I am worried about ......" Jiang Nianwei is unusual.
On weekdays, she always looks like she is not used to seeing people, and she does not fight or rob, but Jiang Nianwei is not a deep boudoir woman who is ignorant of the world, she lost her mother in her early years, and her father traveled far away, so she always has to take precautions.
Jiang Nianhan was surprised by her vigilance, so he covered the back of her hand with his palm under the table.
"Sister, don't worry."
After the meal, the sky was also dark, and everyone dispersed one by one, Jiang Nianhan was uneasy, and he couldn't see the cat on the singing moon, so he didn't leave until the last one.
What's wrong?
She believed that she wasn't the shadow of a snake, this strange feeling...... There must be something wrong with Sing Yue, but for a while, she couldn't tell what it was.
As she pondered and walked, she unconsciously walked on the gravel path that led to the garden.
"Mother, we really have to do this...... Liu Er is young and ignorant, but I've grown up, and my mother has done too much this time, I-"
"Phew! You are useless, my mother is determined to win this time, not only for you, but also for my treasure...... Your father is useless, and your mother can only find a way out by herself, don't be afraid, and then ruin my business. ”
There was a sudden dispute in the garden ahead, and Jiang Nianhan stopped with bated breath. Now that the night is shrouded, although the lights are lit everywhere in the house, there are no people in the garden, and it is darker.
Even so, she could still distinguish the voices of the two people, and it was obvious that it was Yun Niang and Jiang Lanzhi's voices, and they probably didn't expect that someone would run into the garden in this remote courtyard at night.
Jiang Lanzhi didn't say anything more, Jiang Nianhan also expected it, after all, her cousin was not scheming and ambitious, and it was evident that she was so easy to tease her in the pavilion last time, under Yun Niang, a shrewd woman, it seemed that Jiang Lanzhi's temperament was quite upright.
Yun Niang just reprimanded Jiang Lanzhi for a few words, "It's hard to make a big deal" and "Do you want to marry King Jin", so she didn't say anything. The mother and daughter, neither of them said a word, what they planned to do with the hand of the singing moon.
Jiang Nianhan eavesdropped on her for a while, and was about to lift her skirt and slip away silently, when suddenly a hand covered her mouth and pulled her back violently-
Fortunately, the body's reaction is always relatively fast, Jiang Nianhan immediately aimed at the opponent's abdomen and made an extremely hard elbow blow, but he did not hit the target, but was easily dodged by the other party, but fortunately, the hand covering her mouth was released.
She was just about to call someone, and suddenly raised her head, but found that the person was dressed in a white coat that was as elegant as a fairy, and she was a little frightened, and almost crashed into his eyes full of night stars.
"White Divine Doctor? What are you doing in Fuchu? Finally reacting, Jiang Nianhan took a step back and asked.
After all, it is the home of a military general, even if Jiang Chenglin himself is not there, the general's mansion is strictly guarded by some of his soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to let an outsider in at will.
Bai Yihe has practiced martial arts, which she can see at a glance, but she doesn't know that his martial arts are so high that he can easily enter and exit the general's mansion, as if entering a no-man's land.
This gentle man who looks harmless to humans and animals is not as simple as he hoped.
Bai Yihe couldn't see the countless emotions that flashed in her heart for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curved: "Secret, I still hope that the second lady will keep it secret for Bai." ”
Jiang Nianhan originally wanted to ask him why he was going back, but Bai Yihe just smiled slightly, the moonlight between her eyebrows and eyes was as gentle as water, so that the words that had slipped to her mouth were swallowed back alive.
"Beauty tricks?"
Facing the little girl's tightly frowning brows and undisguised suspicions, Bai Yihe suddenly felt a little speechless - in the rumors, the second lady of the Jiang family was honest and reckless, and had no heart, in the past, he thought it was some nonsense, but today he feels that it is also somewhat reasonable.
