Chapter 21: Regret
Jiang Shi chuckled and stopped Gu Jiayao's shoulder in understanding:
"As parents, we are very willing to shelter you from the wind and rain, and we are more willing to let you be pampered, without the pain of growing up, your life is peaceful and smooth, which is in line with my and your father's thoughts."
Because of this thought, they didn't tell their daughters too much in modern times, and they never mentioned things that their daughters didn't want to know.
I don't always tell my daughter how much they have suffered, or how much they have paid for their daughter.
Since giving birth to their daughter, they have willingly paved the way for her, and no matter how much they pay, it is worth it, and they are willing to let their daughter climb up on their shoulders.
I never want my daughter to endure the hardships they have endured again.
If they still need Gu Jiayao to endure hardships, what is the point of them struggling for most of their lives?
Gu Jiayao understands her parents' thoughts, but she always lets her parents go ahead, she has been lying down to win, in modern times, the problem is that in ancient times, she always had a little bit of shame.
She was supposed to help her parents, and in turn she was taken care of by her parents everywhere.
There's always a chance to help your parents.
Gu Jiayao could only comfort herself like this.
The next day, Gu Jiayao and Jiang Lin agreed to go to Wang's house to visit Jiang Qiong together, Jiang had planned to go with them, but she also needed to deal with the follow-up problems of the burned goods.
Jiang asked them to go to Wang's house first.
Except for the Jiang family, who believed in the news that Gu Jiayao heard, the rest of the people still believed that Jiang Qiong's husband Wang Lin was a good person.
"Sister Lin."
Jiang Li suddenly appeared next to the carriage, the corners of his mouth were slightly hard, and he stopped Jiang Lin, "I'll go with you." ”
They are of the same age, Jiang Lin used to envy Jiang Li, after all, Jiang Erye loved his daughter Jiang Li very much.
Uncle Jiang is more fond of Aunt Wan, and Jiang Lin is not the eldest daughter, she has always been neglected.
Gu Jiayao is not very familiar with Jiang Lin and Jiang Li's two cousins, Jiang Lin nodded and agreed to Jiang Li's accompaniment, she is not easy to object, it is always not a bad thing to have a lot of people going.
The three of them sat in the same carriage, and Jiang Li sat opposite Gu Jiayao, the carriage was very quiet, and Jiang Li would go to see the shy and introverted Jiang Lin from time to time.
Her eyes flowed, sometimes confused, sometimes a little envious, and occasionally a little cold.
Gu Jiayao had written a novel after all, and she observed it very carefully, and asked jokingly, "Why does Cousin Li always look at Cousin Lin?" It's like I don't know Cousin Lin, and Cousin Li has dark circles under her eyes, could it be that she didn't sleep well last night? ”
Jiang Lin pinched the silk handkerchief and raised her head slightly, "Cousin Yao is wrong, how can Sister Li look at me?" ”
Whether in appearance or temperament, Jiang Lin is the most inconspicuous one among the Jiang family's young ladies.
Otherwise, when she sacrificed for the Jiang family, she would not be the first to be pushed out.
Jiang Li rubbed the corners of his eyes and said softly: "I didn't sleep well, the Jiang family is in crisis now, and only people who have no heart and lungs can sleep peacefully." ”
Gu Jiayao didn't seem to understand her ridicule, and took a sip of warm tea, leisurely.
The dappled sunlight fell on Gu Jiayao's skirt, setting off her bright and lazy, giving people a sense of comfort.
Among this group of girls, Gu Jiayao has the best appearance.
Jiang Lin's eyes flashed with amazement, no wonder the eldest aunt loves and protects Cousin Yao so much, she deserves to be loved by anyone.
”…… Sister Lin has decided that she is happy to marry the general's mansion? ”
Jiang Li glanced at Gu Jiayao, "You put down your childhood sweetheart Fang Gongzi?" ”
Jiang Lin's tears stuck to her eyelashes, and her drooping eyelids pulled out a dark shadow under her eyes, "I don't hide it from my sister, I'm not reconciled, but in the end, my father raised me, how can I watch the Jiang family lose?" Always do your part. ”
"Fang Gongzi will meet someone better than me, and I have no fate with him after all."
Jiang Lin's voice is very soft, she has always been introverted and honest, she has never thought of going against her parents' wishes, not to mention that she has only met with Fang Gongzi a few more times, and she has a slight affection for each other, and it is a slight exaggeration to be said to be a childhood sweetheart.
"My mother will help Cousin Lin, if my mother can heal the general, Cousin Lin, who is in love with the general, will be given the title of edict after marriage, and she will be the one with the highest status of the Jiang family's married daughter."
Gu Jiayao raised the corners of her mouth, yesterday Jiang Li was quite resistant to marrying a dying general, and would rather die than obey, and talked to Jiang Lin early today, as if she cared a lot about the general in her conversation.
There must be a reason for this!
"There is a way that Sai Weng knows whether he is blessed or not, Cousin Lin has never disliked the general's checkmate, and is willing to marry him, even if there is a reason for the Jiang family, the general's wife also knows that Cousin Lin is gentle and kind, doesn't she promise to treat Cousin Lin as a daughter?"
"I think it's a good thing for Cousin Lin to marry the general, no worse than marrying Fang Gongzi. According to the words of the second aunt, if it weren't for the dying of Lord Jiang Jun, the girls of the Jiang family would not have been able to climb this good family. ”
After Jiang Li heard Gu Jiayao's words, her eyes became even more complicated.
"The eldest aunt can't cure Lord Jiang Jun......"
Jiang Lin said softly: "I want to be widowed, generally good things can't be shared on me, I have prepared for the worst, Cousin Yao doesn't have to comfort me, it is my blessing that the general can come back to life, if not, it is also my life, I have never expected to enjoy the glory and wealth of the General's Mansion, let alone think about it." ”
"Since I decided to fulfill this marriage, I didn't think about going back on it or letting other sisters in the family marry in my place."
Jiang Lin is like a pampas grass, although weak but tenacious, let it wind in the southeast and northwest, she will not move.
Jiang Li hesitated for a while, her face was slightly stiff, as if she had a lot to say, but in the end, she only let out a long sigh, looked out the car window, and muttered: "Xu is not a great aunt, the general's illness can be cured." ”
"Chongxi, there is always a certain basis, otherwise the wind of chongxi will not prevail."
Gu Jiayao smiled and played with the jewelry hanging down her waist, "I think Cousin Lin's life is excellent, even if there are a few twists and turns when she is young, you can expect Cousin Lin to be rich, her husband and wife are noble, and her children and grandchildren are full." ”
Jiang Li's eyes were slightly condensed, and he froze.
Jiang Lin smiled bitterly: "Then I will borrow Cousin Yao's auspicious words, but most of the time I have no future, Cousin Yao has an aunt and a great uncle, you are the rich and noble, everyone can see that the eldest aunt loves you the most, and I can't allow others to say a bad word about you." ”
The carriage drove to the gate of the Wang's mansion, and did not directly enter the second gate of the Wang family as usual, and the servants who were waiting in the gatehouse saw the carriage marked with the Jiang family's logo, and they looked at each other, but no one went to open the side door, and no one ran to the carriage to greet them.
Jiang Lin's face turned pale, and Jiang Li was also very uncomfortable, "The Wang family is too much, how does Sister Qiong manage the house?" Such a minion who doesn't know how to measure is still in the gatehouse? ”
Gu Jiayao glanced out and said lightly: "It has nothing to do with Cousin Qiong, she is afraid that she will not be able to be the master in the Wang family." ”
