Chapter 122: Bitter Life
The fourth aunt and grandmother Jiang who got the dowry of Zhao Wangfu were crazy.
Although it was only a few boxes of symbolic dowry, it was also from King Zhao's mansion.
Prove that her daughter will be the side concubine of King Zhao!
She changed the sadness and depression of the previous few days, re-dressed and dressed, radiant, wearing a full set of head and face jewelry, and a large number of maidservants served in and out, and often came to the door at the invitation of the rich and noble families in the city.
She regarded herself as the mother-in-law of His Royal Highness King Zhao everywhere, opened her mouth and closed her mouth about how much King Zhao loved Sister Yuan, saying that Sister Yuan was King Zhao's true love, completely ignoring that she was a few years younger than King Zhao.
The rich and noble family took into account the power of King Zhao, even if they looked down on Jiang Sigu's grandmother, they did not dare to say that she sold her daughter for glory.
On the contrary, the second uncle Jiang was ridiculed by his peers, and he felt very embarrassed, so he ignored the love of his brother and sister and did not allow the fourth aunt and grandmother Jiang to return to their parents' house.
Only when the Jiang family is not a married girl.
"Are you trying to me off?"
The old lady of the Jiang family patted the table and said: "I have you two brothers and sisters, you are the brothers and sisters of the relatives, you have now mastered the business of the Jiang family, not to mention defending your own sister, but denying her, how can you be ruthless?" I've worked hard for so many years, and I still hope that your brothers and sisters will be well? β
Jiang Erye glanced at his wife standing beside his mother, and his face was even more grim, "Sister Yuan did such a shameful thing, the fourth sister didn't dislike and embarrassed, and took it out to show off everywhere, the marriage between Sister Yuan and the second son of King Zhao that day was also publicized by the fourth sister, although King Zhao didn't mind, but the world has long eyes, and I dare not say that His Royal Highness King Zhao is worried about his future daughter-in-law, and he can't say that Sister Yuan?" β
"Isn't it that you haven't decided to marry yet, how can you be considered a daughter-in-law? Sister Yuan is excellent, it's a pity to be a cripple. β
Before Second Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, Second Master Jiang smashed a teacup and shouted: "I said why my mother suddenly mentioned the matter of the fourth sister, it turned out that you were all provoked behind your back!" I really don't dare to divorce you?! β
"Xianggong, I-"
Second Mrs. Jiang hurriedly apologized, "I just said a few words for the fourth aunt and grandmother, and I didn't dare to do that provocative thing, just thinking that it was already difficult for Xianggong to be outside, and the heavy responsibility of the Jiang family was on Xianggong, and he had to raise a few brothers in the big house, and the big house only knew how to enjoy it, and spent money outside, but it couldn't help Xianggong, Sister Yuan became the side concubine of King Zhao, we are so close to the fourth aunt and grandmother, we can always borrow the benefits of Zhao Wangfu, and no one will despise Xianggong outside." β
"Confused! I've been in the house for a few days because-because Sister Yuan went to be a side concubine, because the fourth sister sold her daughter for glory! β
Second Master Jiang was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he pointed at Second Mrs. Jiang and said, "I'd rather run the Jiang family's business slowly than send my niece to marry an old man who can be her father!" What's more, she made such an ugly thing before she entered the door, not to mention introspection, she was arrogant, don't you know, Sister Yuan'er can be a side concubine is the credit of the eldest brother-in-law? β
"His Royal Highness King Zhao doesn't care about Sister Yuan at all, what does the fourth sister say True love is simply to make the big teeth laugh, the eldest brother-in-law must have given His Royal Highness King Zhao great benefits, Sister Yuan can only be a side concubine, the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law didn't count on us in the first place, the eldest sister is willing to help the Jiang family, isn't it in the face of the eldest brother?"
"Don't think that now that I am the head of the Jiang family's business house, I think that everything in the Jiang family has fallen into my hands, I am actually a chief steward who presides over the operation, and the patriarch of the Jiang family will always be the eldest brother."
"If you don't like spending money on the long house, let's move out of Jiang's house immediately, and there are still a few shops that my father gave me, which is enough for us to live."
"N-no."
The old lady of the Jiang family said anxiously: "I promised your father that he would not be separated, and if he left us, where would your eldest brother do business?" Have you lost all your ancestral property? It's all your father's hard-earned earnings. β
Jiang Erye knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed heavily.
Old Mrs. Jiang burst into tears: "Son, what are you doing?" If you have something to say, don't scare me at every turn. β
"Mother, my son will tell you the truth today, the most inseparable person of the Jiang family is not the son, but the eldest sister, without a son, the eldest sister can find a credible steward to help the eldest brother run the Jiang family's industry, there is the eldest sister to look at it at any time, no matter how much the eldest brother loves to enjoy, he can't turn over too much turmoil."
Second Master Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know who I have been discussing with in the past few days?" β
"Who?"
"The eldest sister picked up Shi Ze and took him back as an apprentice, he is the poor boy you look down on!"
Second Mrs. Jiang's face stiffened, she rejected Second Master Jiang's proposal several times, and asked Jiang Li to marry Shi Ze: "He has this ability?" β
Jiang Erye's eyes flashed with admiration, "He can not only read, but also do business, several businesses are doing very well, his biggest advantage is that he learns things too quickly, and he can draw inferences, he-he is not a thing in the pool, nor is he worthy of Sister Li'er, in the future, you-you will definitely regret your contempt for Shi Ze today." β
"So Ishizawa isβthe one she chose to assist your eldest brother?"
Mrs. Jiang knows her stepdaughter's ability very well, as long as Jiang wants to, she can always get her hands.
She herself lost badly in several battles with the Jiang family, which almost made Old Man Jiang suspect that she was a sinister person.
In fact, she only has the common problem of a stepmother, and she doesn't like the children left in front of her.
She can't do the murder of her stepson and stepdaughter to monopolize the family property.
"Are you having a bad brain, since you know your eldest sister's thoughts, and you are still willing to teach Shi Ze with your heart?"
"Mother, Shi Ze-" Second Master Jiang smiled bitterly, "My son also has selfish intentions, but in the face of Shi Ze, who is extremely smart, my son unknowingly taught him decades of business experience, since I have taught, I don't regret it, and Shi Ze still has to participate in the imperial examination, he will only help the eldest sister look at the account book, or the eldest sister has a good vision, and she is willing to think about Yaoyao, and even Yaoyao's future road has been paved." β
"It's not that the son is arrogant, if there is no connections and resources provided by the Jiang family, the son will always have the ability to buy a big family business."
"Only the son of the Jiang family can show his ambitions, and the business is getting bigger and bigger."
Second Master Jiang said solemnly: "It's not that the Jiang family can't live without a son, but that the son can't do without the Jiang family, let alone the support of the eldest sister and brother-in-law." β
"If the son listens to his mother complaining about the cost of the big house, the rights and wrongs of the eldest brother, or you sponsor the fourth sister, the son will take you away from the Jiang family, and before leaving the Jiang family, the son must have divorced you first!"
Second Mrs. Jiang's body weakened, and she stumbled and said: "I don't see the fourth aunt and grandmother, just like the husband, I must be obedient and flatter the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law." β
Mrs. Jiang cried and said that she would listen to her son and no longer let her daughter enter the door.
"Second master, second master."
The entourage shouted outside: "The fourth aunt and grandmother led Miss Biao to the Gu house, and the slave couldn't stop her." β
Second Master Jiang's eyes darkened, and tears fell, "In addition to the outside business, I also have to worry about the back house, I have a hard life." β
