Chapter 135: Endless
On the way back, Jiang Tingliu and Jiang Tingdan were in a carriage, Jiang Tingdan seemed to be in a good mood, and Jiang Tingliu guessed that Guo Mingrui had not acted yet.
Because she was in a happy mood, and today Jiang Tingliu and Jiang Tingmei were ugly again, Jiang Tingdan didn't bother to talk to them on the way, which was in line with Jiang Tingliu's mind, she leaned on the carriage and fell asleep, and she had already made up her mind not to eat dinner after going back, and went to sleep directly.
But after returning to the Jiang family, Jiang Tingliu realized that he was thinking too well.
Jiang Muqin's face darkened as soon as he got out of the car, and he coldly said to the two sisters-in-law: "You come with me." ”
The eldest brother spoke, Jiang Tingliu and Jiang Tingmei had to follow, and the two had to follow Jiang Muqin to the main hall.
A little servant had already gone to the study to inform Master Jiang, and the brothers and sisters went to the main hall to wait for a while, and Master Jiang came in with square steps.
As soon as he saw this posture, Master Jiang frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
Without waiting for a few people to answer, Master Jiang had already glared at Jiang Tingliu and Jiang Tingmei and asked, "You guys are wearing this dress to the lotus party?" ”
His voice was raised, obviously shocked.
Master Jiang has several silk and satin Zhuangzi in his hand, not to mention that he is very proficient in fabrics, but he still has basic eyesight, and he can see at a glance that the clothes on Jiang Tingliu and Jiang Tingmei are made of ordinary materials, and the workmanship is even more average......
This, this, this...... Is this to make others think that his Jiang family is bankrupt?
Jiang Muqin stepped forward to support Master Jiang, and while leading him to the main seat, he said in a deep voice: "The two younger sisters didn't wear this dress at the beginning. ”
Master Jiang sat down and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Jiang Muqin sat down under Master Jiang and said lightly: "I heard that your fourth sister offended Miss Zheng's family, and then there was a dispute, and the third sister and the fourth sister fell into the water together, isn't that the case?" ”
Master Jiang grasped the key point: "Zheng family? Which Zheng family? ”
Jiang Tingdan pouted: "Dad, which Zheng family is there in this capital." ”
Master Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that the Zheng family?" It's okay, it's okay. ”
Everyone understands what Master Jiang means, the Zheng family is weak, so it doesn't matter if he is offended.
A hint of ridicule flashed in Jiang Muqin's eyes, but his face was still calm, he picked up the teacup sent by the maid, and said lightly: "Originally, it was just a dirty skirt of Miss Zheng's family, and it was really not a big deal, but then you had an argument with other young ladies of the family, and you accidentally fell into the water in public, which is not a trivial matter." ”
Master Jiang frowned again: "You still have a dispute with other people?" ”
Jiang Tingliu and Jiang Tingmei, as the two interrogated, were naturally not allowed to sit down, Jiang Tingliu only felt that his mind was dizzy for a while, and he wanted to defend himself when he heard the words, but his brain was groggy for a long time and he couldn't organize words.
Jiang Tingmei hurriedly said: "Daddy Mingjian, it was I who accidentally soiled Miss Zheng's skirt, but I really didn't quarrel with others, and Miss Zheng and I didn't argue......
Jiang Muqin raised his eyebrows: "Then how did you fall into the water?" ”
Jiang Tingmei said: "It's just an accident, the boat happened to shake at that time, and the ladies around me didn't stand firm, I don't know who pushed me...... The third sister fell into the lake with me to save me, Daddy, eldest brother, this matter has nothing to do with the third sister, if it wasn't for the third sister who saved me, I might have drowned in the lake. ”
Jiang Muqin shouted: "Nonsense, so many people were present at that time, how could you let you drown in the Jade Cup Lake?" ”
Jiang Tingdan couldn't help muttering: "That's it, that Jade Cup Lake is much more expensive than yours, and if you still want to drown in it, the Guo family will still feel unlucky." ”
Jiang Muqin glared at Jiang Tingdan fiercely, she quickly shut up, but these words were still heard by a few people present, and Master Jiang slapped the table: "Second girl, what are you talking about, that's your sister." ”
Jiang Tingdan hurriedly stood up and apologized, but his expression didn't show any regret.
Master Jiang accused her a few words, but he still didn't focus on Jiang Tingdan, and soon continued to ask Jiang Tingmei: "Accidentally fell into the water?" Did the three girls save you? Or did someone else save you? ”
Jiang Tingmei hurriedly said: "It is indeed the third sister who saved me, and there are always other people in the water." ”
Master Jiang couldn't say whether it was disappointment or something else, there were so many sons of the family present at that time, why didn't any of them stage a scene of heroes saving beauty.
Jiang Muqin took a sip of tea slowly, and then asked lightly: "In that case, why did you offend Miss Guo again after that?" ”
Master Jiang choked on a mouthful of water, and asked after a while, "What?" You still offended Miss Guo? ”
Who doesn't know that Guo Mingxia is the pearl of the Guo family, these two dead girls even dare to offend her, is this afraid that she will not die fast enough?
Jiang Tingmei denied it: "We didn't offend Miss Guo, did the eldest brother hear it?" ”
Jiang Muqin let out an "oh" and asked, "If you haven't offended Miss Guo, what's the matter with these two clothes?"
He scraped the tea bowl lightly: "As far as I know, this dress is the clothes of the first class girls of the Guo family during the New Year's Festival, and now it is actually worn on our Jiang family's young lady, if it is not deliberately arranged by Miss Guo like this, what else can there be?" ”
"What?" Except for Jiang Tingliu, who was dazed, everyone else was very surprised.
However, after this surprise, everyone's reaction was completely different, Master Jiang was angry, Jiang Tingdan quickly lowered his head and snickered, while Jiang Tingmei only felt humiliated.
Master Jiang took the case, but it was not Guo Mingxia who blamed him, but his two daughters: "It must be something you did that Miss Guo teased you like this, you ...... You ......"
His fingers trembled and pointed at Jiang Tingliu and Jiang Tingmei, looking like he hated iron but not steel, but he understood the meaning of his words very clearly: Letting you go to the lotus appreciation party is to give the Jiang family face and drop the golden beetle son-in-law by the way, but you did the opposite, not only lost the face of the Jiang family, but also offended the Guo family, which is simply damned.
Jiang Tingmei never expected that Guo Mingxia would actually get two sets of slave clothes for them to wear, although she is a merchant girl, she has also grown up in brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, how could she have been insulted like this, for a while she only felt cold hands and feet, but there seemed to be a fire burning again in her head, so that she was completely sane and couldn't say anything.
After Mr. Jiang angrily accused, he went to Jiang Muqin to confirm: "Are you sure about this matter?" ”
Jiang Muqin's eyebrows also faintly showed anger: "My son naturally dared to say it when he was sure, Dad, you also know that the family moves around frequently during the New Year, and many young ladies of the family have an impression of this dress, and I only know it ......when I hear them discuss it in private."
He slammed the teacup on the table: "The Jiang family's face is lost this time. ”
Old Man Jiang was so angry that his chest rose and fell, he looked at the two second women, and hated why he wanted them to participate in the lotus appreciation party, this Jiang family was already looked down upon by the family, and now I am afraid that it will really become a laughing stock in the capital.
Just as they were about to punish the two, Jiang Tingmei and Qingguo suddenly screamed, and then everyone saw Jiang Tingliu fall softly.
