Chapter 30: Attempt
Yan Niang found that she had been meeting with Lord Jiang next door more frequently recently, although she had tried very hard to avoid it, she would always meet him inadvertently, and sometimes even if she took a detour, she would inevitably meet him.
In fact, not only Yan Niang was confused, but Jiang Yucheng was also very distressed, because his mother and cousin were working hard in it. Since that day, Leng Ruru proposed to pair him with Yan Niang, his mother has moved her mind, let the little maid find out Yan Niang's route, and bribed his entourage, which is why he and Yan Niang meet so often.
To be honest, Jiang Yucheng has no dislike for Yan Niang, on the contrary, he still has some appreciation for this independent and tenacious woman. In such a difficult situation as before, how bold and decisive it must be to be able to reconcile with Ling Jiming without dragging the mud and water.
If he really wants to continue Xuan one day, instead of marrying a woman who doesn't know what his character is, it is better to marry a familiar Nie Niangzi, he believes that according to her character, she will definitely be a virtuous helper.
On this day, the two met again, and Yan Niang was about to leave after bowing slightly at him, but he heard Jiang Yucheng ask: "I wonder if Nie Niangzi still has plans to remarry?" ”
Hearing this, Yan Niang's face turned red, she never thought that Lord Jiang, who had always been gentle and polite, would ask so bluntly. Fortunately, there is no one around, and if it is heard, I don't know what will become of it.
Yan Niang felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Yucheng asking this, thinking that he was afraid that he had met too much recently, he suspected in his heart that he was doing this on purpose, but the sky was above, she had never thought like this, "Lord Xie cares, and the concubine has never had the intention of remarrying." ”
Jiang Yucheng was not disappointed when he heard this, this answer was already expected by him. Seeing that she was busy clearing herself, he understood that she was telling the truth.
After going back, Jiang's mother hurriedly asked Jiang Yucheng if he had met Yan Niang again today. Jiang Yucheng looked at her helplessly and replied: "I met her, but Nie Niangzi is not planning to remarry at present, so don't waste your thoughts." ”
Mother Jiang smiled when she heard this, "That's a woman's reserve, if she says she wants to marry, she won't be looked down upon." ”
Jiang Yucheng sighed, "Mother, what Nie Niangzi said is true, I can feel that when she mentions the word marriage, she is uncomfortable, maybe she is heartbroken, so she is unwilling to marry again." ”
"She was unladylike in front of her, but it has been so long since this incident, Ling Erlang and the second child of the Fan family are all over the age of one, and she lives alone with a lot of hardships, sometimes I, an old woman, can't bear to see it. Especially the little girl who is full of people, such a well-behaved child, but she doesn't have the love of her father, and she doesn't have the support of her brother when she grows up and marries, what if she meets someone like her father! ”
Hearing his mother talk about this, Jiang Yucheng felt more and more funny, "Mother, how can Nie Niangzi be as pitiful as you say, Xinyanfang has a prosperous business, and the family has hired a helper, there is no shortage of food and clothing, no shortage of money to spend, how good it is to be free and casual." ”
Mother Jiang glanced at him, "What do you know, women already have a difficult life in the world, and it is even more difficult for a woman like this who has small assets but no husband, and the Yun family and I take care of her a lot on weekdays, so no one dares to trouble her." If the Yun family moves to the capital in the future, and you marry another person, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of her like this anymore in order to take care of the bride's face, and then her suffering days will really begin. ”
Jiang's mother's words made Jiang Yucheng speechless, and it seemed that she couldn't dispel her thoughts, so Jiang Yucheng had no choice but to say: "If Nie Niangzi is willing to marry, my mother will ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage." ”
After speaking, he instructed: "Don't force people to make it difficult." ”
When Jiang's mother saw her son agree, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "Don't worry, you don't know what your mother is like yet, make sure to let Yan Niang nod and marry herself." ”
After getting her son, Jiang's mother took Changsheng to Yan Niang's house, and as soon as she walked to the door, she heard a fierce quarrel inside. She hurriedly knocked on the door, and it was Yaya who opened the door, and when she saw Jiang's mother, Yaya said anxiously: "Old lady, please call the shots for our lady." ”
Mother Jiang sank her face and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Yaya hurriedly said: "The lady was going to go to the shop before, but when she was about to go out, the Nie family came to her, and the lady had to invite them in to talk, and the old lady of the Nie family asked the lady to transfer the shop to the name of the eldest brother of the lady, and the lady was unwilling, so they quarreled. ”
After hearing the reason, Jiang's mother's face became more and more ugly, she led Changsheng and walked in quickly, just in time to hear Aunt Nie's words: "Since you don't plan to get married, you still have to rely on your nephew to support your old age in the future, why can't you transfer the shop to Da Lang?" ”
Yan Niang was so angry that she trembled, pointed at Nie Dalang and said: "You and your father haven't forgotten what they did to me, they set fire to us and wanted to burn us to death, but today they want me to give you the shop, do you really not know how to write the word shameless?" ”
Her words made Nie Dalang ashamed and angry, and the face of Nie Da Niang next to her changed and changed, and she asked in disbelief: "You mean that the fire in the house was done by Da Lang?" ”
Yan Niang sneered, "Then what's not?" Why I didn't go back to Nie's house after the house burned down was because my father and eldest brother wanted the lives of our mother and daughter. I was full of eczema, but they mistook it for smallpox, and set it on fire at night to get rid of it. ”
As she spoke, Yan Niang couldn't help but redden, "Since I can remember, I have been dispensable in the Nie family, my father and mother dislike me because I am fat and ugly, my brother and sister-in-law are afraid that I will marry and take away too much dowry and hate me, and my nephews and nieces have never respected me." I always thought that as long as I was well-behaved and obedient, as long as my embroidery skills could earn money, I would be able to live at home. After getting married, it was difficult for me to be a man in the Ling family, and you never took the initiative to care; Ling Jiming climbed the high branch to reconcile with me, but you proposed two big ends, in order to pave the way for your nephews.
I took Begonia and Man back home, relying on the embroidery craft to support myself, in addition to handing over the dowry, but also to pay a tael of silver every month to chew, that month, I did embroidery work day and night, so that my eyes hurt and dry and had to endure, I am afraid that you think I eat and drink in vain. Now I come out with a full boil, but you want to take advantage of it, in the name of being good for me, I tell you, this love is not willing to take it. ”
Yan Niang was very excited, she had buried these words in her heart for more than ten years, and today she finally announced them.
Aunt Nie heard this, she lost her aggressive momentum, she didn't expect her husband and eldest son to do such a foolish thing at the beginning, no wonder her husband couldn't afford to get sick after hearing that the house was on fire, no wonder every time she said that she wanted to come to the town, he resolutely refused, as long as she heard someone in the family talk about Xinyanfang, he would be furious.
What a sin! She has been strong for a lifetime, but today she was picked up, and she really has no face to see. She was so angry that she slapped Nie Dalang hard and scolded: "You brute, how can you do something that hurts heaven and reason, you are deliberately trying to anger me." ”
Nie Dalang's face suddenly turned red, and he argued: "If she was willing to dispose of that girl, how could my father and I make such a decision." ”
Aunt Nie wanted to fight again, but was stopped by Yan Niang, "This is not the Nie family, if you want to train someone, please go back to your house." ”
Aunt Nie's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, she went back and forth between Yan Niang and Aunt Nie several times, and finally said weakly: "Da Lang, let's go." ”
Nie Dalang was a little unwilling, "Mother, have you forgotten what we are here for?" ”
"What, you're still counting on her to give you the shop?" Aunt Nie hated iron and said: "You can have a snack, you and your father burned everything with a fire, and she doesn't recognize us now." ”
Nie Dalang still didn't want to leave, he stiffened his neck and said in a vicious voice: "We don't plan to go back empty-handed when we come here today, you can do it yourself." ”
Yan Niang was extremely disappointed in this eldest brother, and endured the anger in her heart and said, "Then what do you want?" ”
Nie Dalang glanced at her, "Daddy gave birth to you and raised you for sixteen years, not to mention anything else, the money you have spent in these sixteen years is no less." ”
Yan Niang looked at Aunt Nie and saw that she had turned her face to the side, obviously not wanting to interfere. Only then did she understand that the so-called relatives were coming to Xinyanfang today, and if she couldn't get Xinyanfang, she would have to bite off a piece of meat from her.
It's only been two years, and the Nie family has become this ugly look, and Yan Niang really doesn't want to entangle with them anymore.
"How much do you want?"
Nie Dalang immediately said a number.
Yan Niang took a deep breath, hurriedly entered the house, and when she came out, she had an extra wooden box in her hand, and Nie Dalang saw it and reached out to take it.
"Wait." At this time, Jiang's mother, who witnessed all this, suddenly spoke, "There is no basis for what you say, but you have a written evidence to prove it." ”
Nie Dalang looked at Jiang's mother with a nonchalant face, "This is our Nie family's business, what does it have to do with you as an old woman." ”
Jiang Mu snorted and didn't take him seriously at all. , turned his head to Yan Niang and said: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, Yan Niang, for this kind of shameless person, you have to guard against him, if one day he sees you developed, he will not admit today's events, and say something that is not there, but it will tarnish your reputation." ”
Aunt Nie, who had not spoken, spoke, "This aunt, you are now in the courtyard of my Nie family, and you are not afraid of saying bad things about the master's family and lacking morality." ”
Mother Jiang smiled, "I have lived for forty years, and I have never heard such a funny joke." You said that you and Yan Niang are your own family, but since Yan Niang moved to the town, I have never seen you come to see their mother and daughter. Today, I came to the door, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I asked Yan Niang to transfer the shop to your son's name, and when I saw that I couldn't get the shop, I planned to use the money to buy out your blood kinship, are you such a mother? I think it must have been God who took a nap at that time, so that Yan Niang's well-behaved child was born in your belly. ”
Aunt Nie was so angry that her face turned pale, and she wanted to reason with Mother Jiang, but she listened to Yan Niang's words: "Just follow the old lady's words, and set up a note as proof, as long as you sign and draw on it, I will hand over a lot of money to you." ”
After speaking, she asked Mrs. Yang to go to Dongjie to invite the gentleman who specialized in writing letters for others, but Jiang's mother said: "Why bother to seek the near and far, let Changsheng write, I have been studying for a few years, and I can still write a note." ”
was suddenly named, and Changsheng took on the task without stage fright.
