When the old man of the porter prayed, Mrs. Jiang happened to be by the old lady's side, and when she heard that the filial piety silver was coming, her eyes lit up a lot.

"Let him in."

She didn't go to Jiang Mengliang's country house this year, and her memory of last year was still fresh.

Originally, I wanted to ask someone to bring a letter back and ask Jiang Mengliang to send it here, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to come.

"They didn't just come, they all came." The old porter added.

When the old lady heard this, her face was not good-looking, and she gave a filial piety silver, why did she bring her family here?

Don't you have no money to eat during the Chinese New Year, and you want to fight the autumn breeze?

The old lady used to be a rural village woman, and after marrying the Jiang family for many years, the old lady took the Xiucai exam, and her life gradually improved, but her problems of liking to take advantage and being mean have not changed, if she didn't take advantage of a lot, she felt that she was at a loss.

Although Jiang Mengliang came to give filial piety to the silver, it was a matter of taking advantage, but if he ate a meal from her, it would be a loss.

Besides, when she gave birth to Jiang Mengliang, she caught up with frequent incidents at home, and her life was the saddest, so she always felt that her second son was unknown, and she didn't like him even more.

The old lady knew what the old lady was thinking, and when he had his birthday last time, he thought that Jiang Mengliang was sending wild vegetables, but then he heard the daughter-in-law of the Li family say that there was meat and fish, and his heart was not a taste, he thought that he was a scholar, talked about etiquette, and never took advantage, and he didn't give a little return gift that time, but he lost face.

In fact, when Jiang Mengliang came to take refuge, Mrs. Jiang happened to be not at home, and after Jiang Li and Mrs. Jiang discussed, they took the initiative to drive Jiang Mengliang's family away without even seeing each other.

When Old Lady Jiang found out, he lost his temper, but the matter had passed, and he didn't care.

Anyway, Jiang Mengliang's family did not starve to death because of this, and lived in Wangjia Village again, and the family had already been separated, even if it was his son, he had no obligation to take care of them anymore, and this matter would be over.

Although this time it was to give filial piety silver, but the old lady Jiang thought about the last time, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to the old man in the porter: "Let them go to the front hall and wait, and call the lady to come over, I have something to tell her." ”

Mrs. Jiang was not happy, and said in a sharp voice: "I'll just go and pick up the silver, what else do you go to the front hall?" They looked like they were here to fight the autumn breeze, and there was no food for them at home! ”

The old lady glared at her, and usually just went with her, but now he dares to question the decision he made? It's the other way around!

Mrs. Jiang was glared at by him, and she was immediately stunned, so she had to say, "Just see it, just let them go back after seeing it." ”

Although the old man of the porter didn't know why the old lady's attitude had changed, he had to obey the order.

"The old lady asked you to wait in the front hall, come with me."

Jiang Mengliang's family came to the front hall, and the front hall was empty, not even the maid serving tea.

Jiang Mengliang stood in the middle of the front hall in a regular manner, while Jiang Xiaonian found a chair and sat down.

Of course, she knew that according to etiquette, the host had not yet come, and the guests were not allowed to sit casually, but in her opinion, the Jiang family's uncle was not a family that understood etiquette, so it was a little casual.

Jiang Li was instructing Jiang Xiyue to embroider in the room, and when he heard the summons of the old lady, he immediately walked to his study.

Although Jiang Fu is Jiang Mengcheng's master, Mrs. Jiang has the absolute right to speak, and he just doesn't like to take care of things.

Jiang Li still had a smiling face before going to the study, and his face could be described as pot ash when he came out.

She angrily ran to Jiang Mengcheng's study and complained: "The old lady doesn't know what kind of wind she smoked, so she actually asked me to prepare a New Year's gift for your useless second brother, but there was no precedent before!" ”

Although Jiang Mengcheng was also a little surprised, when he heard what she said just now, he reprimanded with a straight face: "How did you speak?" What is convulsion? It's getting more and more presumptuous! ”

Jiang Li also knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, so he softened his tone and said, "Xianggong, I'm just in a hurry, but what's wrong with the old lady this time?" Suddenly took care of your second brother's affairs, but I didn't ask before. ”

Jiang Mengcheng didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he waved his hand impatiently and said: "If you want to prepare, you can prepare, anyway, there is not much, just follow the old lady's wishes, and my father probably made them happy because my family Li'er passed the children's test this year, and I was happy." ”

When it comes to Jiang Li, Jiang Li's mood is a lot better, her son is also competitive, he passed the children's exam at the age of fourteen, although he took the exam for four years, but others have taken the exam for eight years, and Jiang Li has passed the exam is enough to be enviable.

In this case, Jiang Li called his personal maid over and prepared a New Year's gift to Jiang Mengliang.

took two old clothes that were not worn at home, went to the kitchen to get some leftover meat and some minced meat, and then took some snacks that had not been bitten over from eating, Jiang Li took the maid to the front hall in a hurry.

Jiang Mengliang waited in the front hall for more than ten minutes before the old lady Jiang came over, and saw that there was no one in the hall except Jiang Mengliang's family, and his face sank.

How to say that he is also a knowledgeable person, the people below the family are not sensible, and he usually doesn't say it, but now people are here to send filial piety silver, and he doesn't even have a cup of tea, but it seems that he doesn't know how to be polite.

"Sit down and have hot tea."

The old lady sat at the top, the first sentence was to Jiang Mengliang's family, and the second sentence was to order the maid who followed him.

Jiang Mengliang got his permission and found a chair and sat down.

"Dad, we are here to give you a New Year's gift, and by the way, we will hand over the filial piety silver to the second elder." Jiang Mengliang was the first to speak.

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect him to bring a New Year's gift over, but fortunately, he had just instructed Jiang Li to prepare a New Year's gift, otherwise he would have lost his share.

"Just come here on such a cold day, and bring something."

Although the old lady has never been interested in his second son, he is now coming over with New Year's gifts and silver, and he is dressed decently, and he is no longer the uncompetitive appearance he used to be, so he looks a lot more pleasing to the eye and greets him a little.

What he didn't know was that this sentence that was neither salty nor light, listening to Jiang Mengliang's ears, was simply a natural sound, Jiang Mengliang's heart was like eating honey, and the corners of his eyes gradually moistened.

"I haven't been able to honor you well all these years, but this year my life is better, so I want to send something over, and I hope my father won't dislike it."

The old lady nodded.

At this time, Jiang Li and Mrs. Jiang also came to the front hall, in addition to Jiang Li's personal maid, there was also a maid serving tea.

The moment Mrs. Jiang stepped into the threshold, she saw Jiang Xiaonian sitting beside her, looking at her with a smiling expression.
