Chapter 19: Heavy Blows
Jiang Erye is dusty, his temples are white, and he seems to be very hardworking, compared to Uncle Jiang, who is discouraged, evasive, drunk, dreaming of death, and favoring Aunt Wan, Jiang Erye is more like the head of the Jiang family.
"I brought it up to marry the General's Mansion to solve the crisis of the Jiang family, and it is difficult to say whether I can achieve my wish, but since I was the first to advocate, it should be my daughter who should marry into the General's Mansion."
The second wife, Zhou, changed her face when she heard this, and she was afraid of her husband, so she said softly; "The young and the old are orderly, Sister Lin is older than Sister Li, Sister Lin must marry before it is Sister Li'er's turn, not to mention that the eldest master took the initiative to let Sister Lin marry to the General's ......Mansion."
"Didn't the fourth aunt mention that Cousin Lin has a childhood sweetheart? She also felt sorry for Cousin Lin. Gu Jiayao's eyes were bright, a little innocent, "Cousin Lin will be given to her childhood sweetheart first, and then Cousin Li will marry to the General's Mansion, both of them can be satisfied, what do you say, second uncle?" ”
Second Master Jiang was slightly stunned, and was about to nod, Jiang Li got up suddenly and glanced at Gu Jiayao fiercely, "The Jiang family has no room for people with foreign surnames to intervene, you are not very old, you don't understand anything, but you are attached to begging for a living." ”
"Fourth aunt, can you still bear it?" Gu Jiayao was horrified by the same enemy, "Can you bear it?" I can't stand it anyway! ”
Fourth Aunt Jiang: "......"
Flutter, this time it was Jiang Shi who laughed out loud and poked Gu Jiayao's forehead, "I can't bear it either!" The fourth sister has become a person who comes to the Jiang family to beg for a living in Sister Li'er's mouth, how can she endure the temper of the fourth sister? ”
"Enough!" Uncle Jiang spoke: "Let Sister Lin marry into the General's Mansion, and I will be happy to the general, after all, I am the head of the Jiang family, and I am in charge of the entire family, and the second brother has helped me a lot, since Sister Lin is my daughter, she has to take on this responsibility!" ”
Second Master Jiang said: "Brother, this matter is still ......."
"Second brother, don't persuade me anymore, this matter is settled, the General's Mansion is not a tiger's den, even if the general has a case, Sister Lin will marry the general's wife, and then the step-heir will have a place to rely on."
"Hey, anyway, I still wronged Sister Lin, it's useless, I can't think of a better way, but if there is a little way, I won't make this decision."
Second Master Jiang sighed again and again, as if he couldn't stand Jiang Lin.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to be Chongxi's bride.
Old Madam Jiang hurriedly beckoned the servants to serve the meal, suggesting that Fourth Aunt Jiang and Grandma Jiang should stop provoking the Jiang family and Gu Jiayao.
Gu Jiayao, who seems to be innocent, is not easy to mess with!
This mother and daughter are really untouchable.
There are not so many rules when the Jiang family eats, and Jiang Erye has been discussing with his brother how to save the business, although there is a screen, Gu Jiayao can still hear them.
Jiang Shi suddenly said: "The Jiang family can rely on the General's Mansion to tide over the difficulties? ”
Jiang Erye replied: "You must always rely on the nobles to stabilize the declining situation and stabilize people's hearts, and when the daughter of the fourth sister climbs into a relationship with His Royal Highness King Zhao, the Jiang family may be able to make a comeback, although it is relying on the girls to pay, it really makes me and other men lose face." ”
"The eldest cousin-in-law used to rely on the Jiang family to prosper the family business, and the eldest daughter of the eldest uncle has been married to him for many years and has children for him, why haven't I seen him contribute to the Yue family?"
Gu Jiayao put down her chopsticks, "Today, I went outside to inquire about the news for my father, I heard a lot about the Wang family, and I also saw the Wang family's sea boat sailing into the harbor, I heard my mother say that the eldest cousin-in-law used to go to sea with the Jiang family to do business, and it can also be said that he made a fortune with his uncle, but now my uncle's sea ship always has problems, but he makes a lot of money." ”
"Could it be that the eldest uncle never suspected the eldest cousin-in-law? Even though he was lucky and the ship went well, the Jiang family was unlucky, and he should do his best for the Jiang family, instead of not even seeing anyone, and his eldest cousin didn't see him. ”
The Shi Ze I met today was carrying the goods of the Wang family.
Gu Jiayao asked, the Wang family's business is very big now, they have two sea boats, and the overseers are extremely fierce, "And I heard that he also has a relationship with His Royal Highness King Zhao." ”
Fourth Aunt Jiang moved her lips, "A few days ago, Wang Lin sent a business to the Jiang family, and now it has not been delivered, without him, my daughter would not have met with His Royal Highness King Zhao, he has been helping the Jiang family, but you don't know." ”
"What is the business he gave to the Jiang family?" Gu Jiayao asked curiously, "Why haven't you handed over the goods yet?" ”
Uncle Jiang raised his voice, "My niece doesn't ask about some of them, my eldest son-in-law is a filial person who helps the Jiang family a lot." ”
Yaoyao asked a few words, isn't it for the sake of the eldest brother? For the good of the Jiang family? ”
Jiang Shi was unhappy, he didn't control his strength again, and the rice in his hand was pinched in half by her, "I didn't see him do anything for the Jiang family, last time my business lost a lot because he was very inserted, when I went to the takeaway shop, he made people lower the price, and didn't care that I was his aunt." ”
Gu Jiayao's reminder made Jiang Shi think a lot, "I suggest that the eldest brother send someone to take a good look at Sister Qiong'er's life......"
Jiang Qiong is Uncle Jiang's eldest daughter, and she hasn't returned to her parents' house for a while.
"Although she didn't go back to her parents' house, she often sent letters to her family, saying that she was all right, and she didn't have time to come back because she was in charge of the Wang family's chores." Uncle Jiang said: "Don't guess, Wang Lin is satisfied with me, he ......"
"Master, it's not good, it's not good, the things stored in the warehouse have been burned down by a fire."
The servant stumbled in to report the news, with a sweaty face, "Ming'er is the agreed delivery day, there is no goods, His Royal Highness King Zhao is afraid that he will be on fire, once His Royal Highness King Zhao blames ...... The old man has already made a decision. ”
Uncle Jiang spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell backwards, his face was like ashes, and he was unconscious.
Second Master Jiang sat in place, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.
The only hope was in vain, and the Jiang family had no chance of turning over.
Fourth Aunt Jiang saw the situation clearly, and pulled her daughter up, "Oh, there are still some things in my house that have not been dealt with, I am not as capable as the eldest sister, so I won't make trouble here, take Sister Shu'er back first, and if something happens, the eldest sister will send me a letter again." ”
Ignoring Mrs. Jiang's retention, they got into a carriage and hurriedly left Jiang's house with their servants.
Jiang Shi sneered, "If she leaves now, she doesn't plan to get the benefits of the Jiang family in the future!" ”
Looking around, Jiang Shi looked at Jiang Erye's family, "Are you also leaving?" After all, when your father passed away, you had already split the family, but you have been living in the Jiang family and have not left the house alone. ”
Second Master Jiang's face was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and the second wife Zhou hurriedly replied: "There is an aunt and grandmother, and the uncle also has a care, and the second master also has to take care of her mother, she can't stand the stimulation anymore." ”
