Chapter 2 The Jiang family has a woman who has just grown up

When it comes to the Jiang family, the hearts of the people of Kyoto will be filled with admiration, just because the Jiang family is a legendary existence in Kyoto. Both of the Jiang family's parents died, and Jiang Qianqian, who was only fifteen years old at the time, gritted her teeth and took over the family business that Jiang's father had worked hard for, and raised her already stupid sister alone, Jiang Bangwan.

In fact, Jiang Bangwan was not born stupid, when she was a child, she was very smart and favored by Jiang's father and Jiang Qianqian. If it weren't for Jiang's mother who died in childbirth when she gave birth to Jiang Bangwan, this should have been a happy family.

However, misfortune befell them again, when Jiang Bangwan was thirteen years old, Jiang's father was killed by mountain bandits on the way back from business trips. After the news was transmitted back to Jiang Mansion, Jiang Bangwan couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot, and when she woke up, she was already stupid, and her intelligence was only at the level of a six- or seven-year-old child.

The pillar of the family has fallen, and her sister has become what she is now, and the only normal person in the Jiang family is Jiang Qianqian. She complained about the injustice of fate to her, but fortunately, she was unwilling to give in to fate, and when she was still a child, she managed to overcome all difficulties and successfully raised Jiang Bangwan to the age of fifteen.

Jiang Qianqian is seventeen years old this year, and the daughter of another family is already a child at her age. And she hasn't had time to get married, but she has been bringing her 'child' for two years. Fortunately, although Jiang Bangwan is stupid, he never causes trouble, which saves her a lot of heart.

But she can't be by Jiang Bangwan's side all her life, if one day she is gone, how can Jiang Bangwan survive alone?

Thinking like this, Jiang Qianqian, who was sitting behind the bookcase, couldn't help but sigh, and reached out to rub her forehead with a headache. At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and in the next second, an emerald green figure crossed the threshold from outside the door and walked in quickly. called her very excitedly: "Miss! ”

"What's wrong?" Seeing that her maid was out of breath, Jiang Qianqian instead leaned her elbow against the bookcase, tilted her head and glanced at her, and asked casually, "Su Xin, is something wrong?" ”

"Miss, don't talk nonsense, there's nothing!" Su Xin hurriedly waved her hand, and at this time her breathing finally became smooth: "It was the Prime Minister's wife who sent someone to meet you at the Lake Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion this afternoon, and at this moment that person is still waiting in the hall for the eldest lady's decision." This is the news she just got, and she rushed to inform Jiang Qianqian as soon as possible.

Small gatherings? What is she looking for herself? In recent years, she doesn't seem to have much friendship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?

The Prime Minister's wife is the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion and has a son named Luo Yutuo. It is said that the sisters of the Jiang family are still childhood sweethearts with Luo Yutuo and Ling Haochen, the prince of the dynasty, but after the Jiang family's accident, they gradually stopped contacting.

So this is exactly what Jiang Qianqian couldn't figure out, but when Su Xin asked her if she planned to go, she nodded after pondering for a while.

"Then the slave maid will go and help the eldest lady prepare her clothes and headdress now!" After getting Jiang Qianqian's answer, Su Xin asked.

"Okay, it's good to be plain, don't be too public." Even though she knew that Su Xin understood her own thoughts, Jiang Qianqian still didn't feel at ease and instructed: "During the time when I am not in the mansion, you send a few more people to take care of it." It's okay if she wants to go out, just remember to keep her safe! ”

"Got it, Miss." Su Xin responded, and after seeing that Jiang Qianqian had no other instructions, she withdrew from the door to prepare for related matters.

(b)

After lunch, Jiang Qianqian set off to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet the appointment after visiting Jiang Bangwan. The janitor of the Prime Minister's Mansion knew Jiang Qianqian's identity and intention, so he took Jiang Qianqian to the main hall for placement very diligently, and did not forget to let people inform the Prime Minister's wife.

Jiang Qianqian nodded her gratitude with a smile, sat in the guest seat in a regular manner, and waited for the arrival of the prime minister's wife with peace of mind while drinking the tea brought by the next person. Unconsciously, a cup of tea went down, and after the next person saw the opportunity to refill a cup of tea for her, the prime minister's wife was late.

Jiang Qianqian hurriedly got up, greeted her with a smile, and greeted her: "Hello Mrs. Luo." ”

"Qianqian, you're here!" When she saw Jiang Qianqian, the prime minister's wife was full of apologies, she walked up to Jiang Qianqian, and took her right hand very familiarly, as if she was quite emotional: "It's really hard for you all these years, it's not easy for a girl's family to not only manage the family business but also take care of the younger sister." ”

In fact, she has been here for a while, but she has been standing in the dark watching Jiang Qianqian's reaction. Fortunately, her reaction did not disappoint her, and she behaved appropriately and without impetuousness.

Jiang Qianqian's eyes glanced at the hand she was holding awkwardly, and after thinking about it, she still couldn't help but not pull her hand out. She knew that the prime minister's wife was being polite to her, and as a businessman, she could still lose this kind of thing?

"Madame is overrated, this is what Qianqian should do." Jiang Qianqian paused, pretended to be sad and continued: "The family is in misfortune, if I don't cheer up, the Jiang family will really be finished." "In the end, there is nothing fortunate or unfortunate, it is all about survival. Besides, after all these years, she has become accustomed to it.

The Prime Minister's wife was stunned, she didn't expect Jiang Qianqian to say this. But when I thought that the Jiang family was supported by Jiang Qianqian alone, I was relieved, this is really not good without two brushes.

"Overall, isn't it still easy? Qianqian, don't blame me for talking too much. The prime minister's wife couldn't help but look at Jiang Qianqian a little higher, and even the tone of her speech was different from before, at least it sounded a lot more real: "Since ancient times, men have been the ones who have reached the sky, haven't you ever thought about marrying someone?" ”

"Huh?" This time it was Jiang Qianqian's turn to be surprised, but fortunately, she noticed her gaffe, quickly restrained her expression, shook her head regretfully and replied with two words: "No." ”

"Really?" The Prime Minister's wife embarrassedly withdrew the hand holding Jiang Qianqian, sighed and looked at her earnestly, her eyes revealing regret: "I think you should know what I mean at this time, you are not too young this year, and it is time to get married." ”

"Marry? If I get married, who will take care of me? Her hands got the freedom she longed for, but now Jiang Qianqian's attention is not on this, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the person she can't let go of the most is Jiang Bangwan. There are not a few sons and brothers who come to her door to ask for marriage, but no one can accept Jiang Bangbang, and over time, Jiang Qianqian stopped thinking about marrying.

Now this topic was suddenly mentioned so bluntly by the prime minister's wife, which caught Jiang Qianqian off guard.
