Chapter 20: A Blessing in Disguise
Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Tingliu's iron-faced face slowly, and calmly instructed Zhao to scoop the soup for herself, and then pretended to take a sip of soup elegantly, and then said lightly in Jiang Tingliu's eyes that were about to burst into flames: "It's just a bowl, since you know that you are wrong, then go and kneel in the courtyard for two hours." ”
Two hours! That's four hours! Now is the time of hot weather, kneeling under the sun for two hours, I am afraid that something serious will happen to Wang's weak body.
Jiang Tingliu immediately slapped the table angrily, but the Wang family took the lead again, and she grabbed the ground with her head: "There are a lot of madams, and the concubine will kneel immediately." ”
After she said that, she got up, her forehead was obviously red, but the Wang family couldn't care about herself, she only looked at Jiang Tingliu with her eyes, and she couldn't wait to turn her gaze into substance to remind Jiang Tingliu not to mess around.
Jiang Tingliu didn't know what the consequences would be if he directly faced Mrs. Jiang, at this time, the Wang family had already moved extremely quickly and walked to the courtyard and knelt down, perhaps in order to let Mrs. Jiang be completely angry, the Wang family also deliberately picked a stone road with no obstruction above his head and knelt down, Jiang Tingliu looked at it and felt that the anger in his heart was greater than a while.
But Mrs. Jiang still wanted to provoke her, she leaned towards Jiang Tingliu, and said word by word in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "If you cause my daughter to be grounded, I will let your mother punish you for kneeling, it's fair, isn't it?" ”
She smiled at Jiang Tingliu's abruptly turned gaze, and sat up straight to drink the soup again.
Rao is Jiang Tingliu has been beaten by the society and has a tough mind, and at this time she can't hold back her anger, Jiang Tingliu doesn't know how many times she has the urge to flip the table today, and this time she resolutely intends to take action.
However, her actions were interrupted again.
With an exclamation from the girls around her, Jiang Tingliu only felt a weight behind her, and she subconsciously turned around and stretched out her arms to hug the fallen person.
Sitting beside her was, of course, Jiang Tingmei, the bowl in front of her was poured and the dishes were spilled, and the person fainted and unconscious.
At this time, even Mrs. Jiang shouted disappointed, she just waited for Jiang Tingliu to be forced to be so angry that she could not help but take care of it, who would have thought that this Jiang Tingmei would faint when she said that she would faint, this is the serious Miss Jiang family, so many girls, mothers-in-law, and two concubines are watching, Mrs. Jiang must not let Jiang Tingmei go.
After a meal of twists and turns, Jiang Tingliu's fire never came out, she went back to the yard angrily, and sent Qingping to see Jiang Tingmei's situation, while she walked around the room, worrying about Wang's situation and angry at what Mrs. Jiang had done, and she couldn't stop scolding.
As a result, within half an hour, news came from outside, and Wang also fainted.
Coincidentally, it was when Mr. Jiang stepped into the backyard that the Wang family fell, and Mrs. Jiang had no time to clean up all the traces before Mr. Jiang entered the courtyard of the main house, and happened to see the Wang family being carried away with a bloodless face.
Master Jiang has been satisfied with Jiang Tingliuzheng recently, and even has a little more tenderness for the Wang family, so he naturally wants to ask a few words when he sees this situation.
Mrs. Jiang was full of anger because Jiang Tingdan was grounded by Master Jiang's personal order, and Master Jiang's act of asking about the situation of the Wang family was even more inflammatory, and Mrs. Jiang didn't care about the demeanor of the lady in the main house, so she quarreled with Master Jiang in front of a room of girls in the blue sky and daylight.
This quarrel can make Mr. Jiang angry enough, and he felt that his face was torn by Mrs. Jiang in front of his subordinates, and it is said that he was so angry that his beard was cocked, and even if he threw his sleeves away, he said that Mrs. Jiang was a "jealous woman" before leaving, and at the same time loudly asked people to quickly invite Dr. Sun, who was used to the Jiang family, to diagnose Wang's pulse.
This time the situation can be said to be a turning point, Jiang Tingliu heard Qingping come back and said that his brain was a little insufficient, how could it be so coincidental? The Wang family fainted and just bumped into the backyard when Master Jiang came to the backyard, and at this time, Jiang Tingliu wondered if the Wang family had already prepared.
She was thinking about whether to ask the Wang family for a while, but Master Jiang had already gone around to her yard, and the news brought was that the Wang family had woken up, but he was suffering from a little heat, and it was no big deal, and he had already rested at this time after drinking some calming medicine.
Then Jiang Tingliu found that it was not only the Wang family who was blessed by misfortune, originally Master Jiang promised to let her choose a shop to study after the opening of Mingxiu College, that is, it would take more than half a month to do it, but today Master Jiang was so angry with Mrs. Jiang, somehow he wanted to take Jiang Tingliu to a few shops on Chaoyun Street to take a look, Jiang Tingliu guessed that he probably wanted to use himself to anger Mrs. Jiang again, but she also hoped that this matter could be done as soon as possible, and she raised her hands to agree with Mrs. Jiang, As soon as Master Jiang mentioned Jiang Tingliu, he immediately agreed.
She quickly changed her clothes, took Qingping and went out with Master Jiang, unaware that after Mrs. Jiang knew the news, several delicate ornaments were broken in the main room.
But even if he knew about Jiang Tingliu, he would only be happy.
As the richest man in the Daye Dynasty, the Jiang family is not clear how many shops Jiang Tingliu has under this name, but the industry in this capital Jiang Tingliu is still roughly clear, except for the Qinglong, Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, and Baihu four streets that the official family is not allowed to open shops, and the remaining fifteen streets, four squares and twenty-four cities in the capital all have the Jiang family's industry, or full holding, or joint ventures with others, there is a saying in the capital called "Every line and ten steps in the capital must see the Jiang seal", this Jiang Yin refers to a unique mark of the Jiang family's industry, Any shop with this mark proves that it belongs to their Jiang family.
Jiang Tingliu felt that the Jiang family was already a chain industry in ancient times, and it was also the kind of whole industry, and the Jiang family was involved in the four aspects closely related to people's livelihood, such as clothing, food, housing and transportation.
And this Chaoyun Street is the second only street in the capital to Siguan Road, the specifications of the merchants on both sides of it are generally higher, people who do not have a little family background will not come to these shops to ask for themselves, and Jiang Tingliu studied Mingxiu College is at the end of this Chaoyun Street, perhaps because of the college, the pen, ink, paper, inkstone shops and bookstores on Chaoyun Street are very special.
Jiang Tingliu had already had a goal in her heart, but she didn't show it at all, but patiently followed Master Jiang from the west end of Chaoyun Street to look at the Jiang family's shops one by one.
On Chaoyun Street alone, the Jiang family opened a pen and ink shop, a restaurant, a teahouse, and a bookstore, of which the bookstore is only separated by a wall from Mingxiu College at the east end of Chaoyun Street.
And Jiang Tingliu took a fancy to this shop called "Jiang Feng Bookstore".
The reason she gave to Master Jiang was: "The college here is very close, it is more convenient for me to come, and I am a girl's house in the end, the restaurant and teahouse are naturally not suitable for me, although the pen and ink shop is good, I can't make pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and there is really nothing convenient to put in the store for sale." ”
Master Jiang saw that she looked like a little adult, and he didn't feel funny in his heart, so he teased his daughter: "Then what can you sell in this bookstore?" Is there anything else you can do that is great? ”
