Chapter 31: Right and Wrong
Jiang Ran turned her head slightly and looked over, if she remembered correctly, this woman should be Mrs. Qian, the wife of General Qian, this General Qian has a heavy army, and Mrs. Qian is naturally rising.
Jiang Ran remembered that the eldest lady of the Qian family and the second son of the Xu family later made a marriage contract.
Now the two families have not made a marriage contract, but looking at this scene, it seems that both families have this meaning, but they have not yet said it explicitly.
Xu Wangqian, the son of the Xu family, has a dumb disease, and he can't participate in the imperial examination after he was selected for Xiucai, while the second son, Xu Wangyue, has now been lifted, and he will definitely embark on a career in the future.
If you want to make a marriage contract with the eldest daughter of the Qian family, the future is bright. It's a pity that not long after, the second son fell off the horse for some reason, and one leg was broken, and the marriage fell through.
The Xu family is very low-key, full of female dependents, and there are not many outsiders, this Mrs. Qian relies on her noble status to make it difficult to speak, Jiang Ran thought slightly, she is just a junior, she must not be too public, her face showed a trace of panic, she saluted again, "The grandmother of the family said that things have not gone well recently, so she temporarily decided to go to the temple to pray for blessings, the little girl was frightened, and came alone, if there is something inconsiderate, please don't blame the old lady." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she probably understood in her heart that the two mothers-in-law who were sent to the Jiang family last time were the people around her, and after she came back, she told everything that happened in the Jiang family, the old lady of the Jiang family was eccentric, and Mrs. Xu was impressed, and now the two mothers-in-law she sent offended a granddaughter of the Jiang family, and Mrs. Jiang did not come to pay her birthday directly, and let her granddaughter come alone.
While Old Madam Xu was unhappy in her heart, she felt a little sorry for Jiang Ran, "Even so, it doesn't matter, Miss Jiang, please sit down." ”
Jiang Ran knew that Mrs. Xu was no longer pursuing it, so she was grateful, and she wanted to take a seat after thanking her.
At this time, Mrs. Xu took over and said, "Although Mrs. Jiang wants to go to the temple to pray for blessings, but Lingtang can always come, I think your Jiang family didn't take our Xu family in their eyes, and didn't take our Humility in their eyes." ”
Jiang Ran was not surprised, Mrs. Xu who spoke was Xu Taishou's stepwife, although she was not Xu Wangqian's biological mother, but she was very protective of Xu Wangqian in front of people. In the previous life, it was also Mrs. Xu who asked.
When Mrs. Xu spoke, Old Madam Xu didn't have any unusual expression, and when she mentioned Xu Wangqian, her gaze at Jiang Ran was obviously displeased.
The old man is partial to the eldest grandson, this is not wrong at all.
Jiang Ran hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandmother said that as a daughter-in-law, she needs to be accompanied by her, although my mother is worried about Mrs. Xu's birthday, she can't be unfilial to her mother-in-law for the sake of her little daughter." My mother was very upset, and repeatedly told me to confess to the old lady. There was a somewhat uneasy look on her face.
Old Madam Xu also knew about Jiang Ran's mother's helplessness, so she eased up a little, and only said to the ladies and ladies, "This is the etiquette of being a daughter-in-law, Mother Xiao, if you want to come to Miss Jiang, she will definitely be a good daughter-in-law in the future." ”
Everyone nodded yes, but Mrs. Xu took over with a smile, "What my mother said is very true, but now Guangling Mansion is passing it on, and there is no successor to the Jiang family's century-old foundation, Dr. Jiang wants to accept an apprentice to inherit medical skills, it is said that he wants to recruit him as a son-in-law, I don't know if this is true." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the lively scene, and Mrs. Xu naturally heard such gossip, and last time she sent two capable mothers-in-law to the Jiang family to deliver the post in person, it was also for the purpose of finding out the meaning of the Jiang family.
Mrs. Xu loves her eldest grandson very much, in her heart, although the eldest grandson can't speak, it is also the Jiang family's high climbing, if the Jiang family doesn't know what to do, she will definitely not be spared.
From the time Jiang Ran stepped into the hall, she had been looking at Jiang Ran.
The goose yellow dress, the girl's face with a decent smile, and she was not timid because of Mrs. Qian's difficulties, she behaved decently and spoke generously, she was slightly satisfied, but the topic that her daughter-in-law is talking about now, she also wants to know the answer.
So Mrs. Qian didn't make a sound, she wanted to hear what this girl had to say. Generally speaking, if the Jiang family has this intention, they will definitely show their tone in front of Jiang Ran, even if the little girl's family wants to lie, it must be full of mistakes and omissions, and they will be able to hear it when they hear it.
Mother Qin secretly screamed badly, from the moment she followed the girl into the hall, she could feel bad intentions,
She is just an accompanying mother-in-law, in front of these official wives naturally can't be strong, fortunately the girl's answer is very reasonable, I didn't expect this Mrs. Xu to ask so sharply, just to deter the girl.
Qin's mother was secretly worried in her heart, the two families had a marriage contract, and at this juncture, some messages came out, and it was indeed normal for the Xu family to ask questions.
However, the girl said that she didn't want to withdraw from the marriage, so Qin's mother had to dare to say with a smile, "The rumors in the market, where is it true." ”
Mrs. Xu's face changed, and she drank, "If you ask your girl, you don't need to be a mother-in-law." ”
Mother Qin became more and more anxious, but she had to stop talking.
Everyone looked at Jiang Ran, wanting to see how she answered.
Jiang Ran's heart moved slightly, such a thing was something she expected.
Sure enough, it is still the same as before, this Mrs. Xu is indeed not a master to be messed with, last time, it was Mrs. Xu who raised such a question, fortunately this time she thought that Cheng Lanxin did not come, but she still couldn't take it lightly, just raised her head, looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "The little girl is reading every day, and when she reads a sentence, she says that a woman is chaste, and she will never come." Although the little girl is shallow, she also thinks so. ”
"A good one from the beginning." A hearty voice came from the door, and it turned out to be Xu Taishou striding in. "I didn't expect the Jiang family girl to be virtuous and decent," he said, turning back and saying, "Forget Qian, this is your blessing." ”
Jiang Ran raised her head slightly when she heard this, and the one who followed Xu Taishou to the right was a young man in his eighteenth year, it was Xu Wangqian, Jiang Ran looked over, and was facing a pair of eyes as clear as the stars and the moon, her heart tightened, and she unconsciously remembered that she was sentenced to a heavy sentence, Xu Taishou said a word to her, "All the properties of the Jiang family are confiscated, Jiang family, your Jiang family's grievances are not interested, this time, it's not that I don't want to let go of your Jiang family, it's that you hurt Wangqian, I must not spare it." ”
At that time, she realized that she had made him a laughing stock, and he hated her like this.
