Chapter 26 The Fisherman's Profit? (2nd Update)
In the last book, Jiang Xinyao asked Jiang Yuanchen who Aunt Liu was looking for and bought her grandmother's family.
Jiang Yuanchen looked through Xin Yao's face and looked out the window.
"What kind of person is Aunt Liu, who is naturally looking for someone. I heard that it was a sister in Yangzhou Mansion in the old years, also surnamed Liu, called Liu Wan'er, and later became an aunt of a rich family, and moved to the capital a few years ago. ”
"How do you get in touch?"
"Coincidentally, Aunt Liu once went out of the house to make clothes, and she happened to meet her."
"How can there be such a coincidence in the world, saying that it has been encountered. Where is the grandmother and son settled now? ”
"Yesterday, I just left Beijing and went to the west, and I heard that there were relatives in the west, so I went to the relatives. If my sister wants to chase it, she can still catch up. ”
"What do you want her to do with the waste chess pieces? Let her go. In the capital, she didn't dare to come back. ”
"Sister, what do you say Aunt Liu is doing this?"
Xin Yao sneered: "My brother has ever heard that the words of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman profiting, in my opinion, are nothing more than to compete for favor, and the means are not very clever." ”
"Sister, do you want to tell your father?"
Jiang Xinyao pondered for a moment: "What did you tell your father to do?" We don't need to do anything about this, just let your third sister know through the mouths of your subordinates. ”
Jiang Yuanchen said with palpitations: "Looking weak and helpless, not arguing or making trouble, it turns out that it is all fake." It's really terrible for a woman to use a trick! Sister, who do you think she is trying to deal with? ”
A chill flashed in Xin Yao's eyes, and she said, "Look at it clearly, it's Aunt Zhou, if you dig deeper, maybe it's your mother." Aunt Liu is also twenty-four or five years old this year, and she has not been favored by her father for all these years in the house, and she has not had a son and a half daughter. The status is low, although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, the enemy is no more than old age. It's just that she shouldn't have hit her mother with her idea, and her mother did it to her. Although he has no good feelings, he has never been treated. ”
"Sister, I remember that my mother brought her from Suzhou to the capital to reunite with her father a few years ago, and then Aunt Liu was very grateful to her mother, and handed tea and water to her mother every day. Unexpectedly, it was a white-eyed wolf. ”
"Younger brother, the person who came out of the willow in Fireworks Lane, made a concubine for his father. It's just to live a little better and fight for a future for yourself. The days of fine clothes and jade food, calling slaves and maids have passed, and there are naturally more things you want. He got a loaf of bread from your hand and ate it, and thought of drinking the water from your bowl. Wait for the water to drink. I thought it would be better to take another pear from your hand,* written clearly on your face! In this world, what aunt doesn't want to be the main house? ”
Xin Yao stroked a strand of broken hair from her ear, bit her lip and said, "And Aunt Liu and her father have been around for some years, but they don't have any children by their side, and seeing that they are getting old year by year, they naturally have other thoughts." This woman. There are calculations and calculations, and you have to be patient and patient, but you are a powerful character. ”
"Sister, do you want to keep an eye on it again?"
"No need, Aunt Liu, it's up to her creation. I hope the third lady is not too ruthless. It's just that Liu Wan'er has to inquire again. This time, my brother did it so beautifully, my sister didn't expect it to be done so quickly, and she really grew up......"
Xin Yao looked at her younger brother, who was taller than her. Exclaimed!
Jiang Yuanchen was praised, showed a rare shy expression, and said some side words before he came out of Tingfeng Xuan.
After Jiang Yuanchen left, Xin Yao called Li's mother to her side and instructed two things.
A few days later, under the shade of the trees in the garden of Jiangfu, the two little girls were busy gossiping, and they didn't notice the anger on the faces of the people hidden behind the trees.
Jiang Xinshan was banned because of her aunt in the past two days, and the old lady said that she was sick and upset. When my grandmother came to the door, there was no movement in the house, so I felt that I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep at night, I couldn't do anything, and I was crooked on the floor, closing my eyes and recuperating.
Linglong hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in her ear, Jiang Xinshan sat up violently, a nameless fire rose from her abdomen, and said angrily: "Have you ever heard clearly? ”
The slave and maid heard everything clearly, the grandmother-in-law would always sneak into Aunt Liu's courtyard at night every seven or eight days, and the little girl who kept vigil knew it. I heard that the person who bought the grandmother was Aunt Liu's former sister. ”
"I said how could my mother make such a big disaster this time, it turned out that someone was behind the trouble, a prostitute, look at how I clean you up!"
"Miss, let's tell the old lady and let the old lady be the master of the aunt."
"Idiot, now that the old lady is avoiding me, whether she can be the master of my aunt or not, it's not certain, we can only do it ourselves. The slut who came out of the hook bar, what did he have the audacity to do like this, he went to call the second master, and said that I had something to find him. ”
On the second day, Jiang Yuanhang waited for his father to go to the Yamen, took his little servant, and went to his grandfather's house.
Ten days later, Jiang Hongsheng was at home, idle and had nothing to do, accompanying the old lady to enjoy the shade in the garden. This is the first time since Aunt Zhou's accident that the old lady has appeared in front of the juniors.
Gu put tea, melons and fruits, and snacks in the pavilion early, and in addition to Aunt Zhou, even Aunt Liu, who didn't often come out and walk around on weekdays, was waiting in front of the old lady.
Today's Aunt Liu is dressed in a light blue gauze dress, with a little powder, and there is still spring between her eyebrows, presumably the second master rested in her room last night.
The old lady glanced at her deeply, and she didn't like it in her heart, so she said to the second master: "Now the second wife in the house is busy taking care of the house, handling Yuanhang's marriage, and she has to take care of a few children, and she has no skills. Aunt Zhou happened to be sick again, and there was no intimate person around the second master, so I would call the red embroidery around me to the second master. This girl has been with me for a few years, she is a good person, she is honest and honest, and in a few days, she will find an auspicious day for the zodiac and carry her aunt, which will save me from worrying. ”
Hongxiu heard the old lady's words at first glance, her pretty face was so red that she walked to the old lady and kowtowed to thank her, but her eyes quietly looked at the second master.
When Jiang Hongsheng saw that, he didn't like it very much.
Gu Shi coaxed Brother Hao to herself, and there was no trace of turmoil on his face.
It was Aunt Liu, whose face sank, and she was not as happy as she was just now.
Jiang Hongsheng raised his eyes and peeked at Gu twice, then nodded in response.
Jiang Xinyao was stunned and secretly squeezed her mother's hand.
Gu Shiwan smiled, and patted Xin Yao's hand as a sign of comfort.
Xin Yao sighed secretly, just looking at her mother's calmness and calmness is worth her many years of practice. I remembered a bloody sentence in my previous life: 'Life is like rape, if you can't resist, then you can only enjoy it!' Somehow, Xin Yao burst out laughing.
"What's so funny about the four girls, say it and make me happy as an old woman!" Since the old lady heard Mama Qian talk about her last time, she has paid attention to her in private.
"Back to the old lady, my granddaughter was just scratched by her brother's hand a little itchy, and she couldn't hold back and laughed."
When Brother Hao saw his sister mention him, he threw himself into Xin Yao's arms, muttering in his mouth, unable to hear what he said.
The old lady just wanted to say a few words, but the big housekeeper hurriedly walked over, saluted the old lady, and said, "Old lady, second master, someone in the front yard is looking for the second master, saying that he is a friend in Yangzhou Mansion in the old year." ”
"Second master, let's take a look, I'm tired and want to rest."
Jiang Hongsheng got up, helped the old lady to Guiyun Hall, and then went to the front yard with the big housekeeper.
As soon as the old lady left, where could the rest of the people sit still, and they went back to their rooms without talking.
Jiang Xinshan smiled strangely at Aunt Liu, held Linglong's hand, and left with a smile. This smile was seen by Xin Yao, who had just raised her head.
Third sister, you really made a move, I've been waiting for this good show for many days!
That night, Jiang Hongsheng did not rest at his new aunt's place, but rested early in Qiushui Courtyard.
On the second day, Jiang Hongsheng ordered that Aunt Liu was pampered and coquettish, disrespectful to the housewife, and grounded for half a year.
When the news came, the whole house was in an uproar. Our Aunt Liu's face with a spring-colored expression is still fierce, why did she commit something overnight and be grounded?
Jiang Xinyao was not the slightest surprised that Aunt Liu was grounded, she was just curious about how the third lady would make a move.
Gu seemed to know his daughter's curiosity, and when the second master went to the yamen, he called Xin Yao to him.
In fact, the process is very simple, the man who claimed to be an old friend yesterday, Jiang Hongsheng didn't know. The purpose of people coming to Jiang's Mansion was just to hear that Liu Rumei, who was famous in Yangzhou Mansion in the past, followed the Jiang family into Beijing, and wanted to ask her how well she is living now, and recalled a glimpse of the year by the way.
When they came, they blessed Jiang Hongsheng and Liu Rumei in a rather envious and slightly sour tone, wishing them a long time and a thousand miles together. and vaguely said that he could only be the gradual widening of his clothes and belts and would not regret it, and he would be haggard for Yixiao.
After Jiang Hongsheng endured his anger and sent the person away, he kicked over the chair where the person was sitting in the study, and ordered his subordinates to wash the ground with clean water several times before giving up.
After discussing with the Gu family at night, on the second day, a grounding order was issued.
Jiang Xinyao sneered again and again when she heard this. Father, like men in the world, only allowed Zhou Guan to set fires, and did not allow all kinds of people to light lamps. While he indulged his three wives and four concubines, he demanded that women be loyal to him, and while his heart belonged to his mother, his body frequently wandered between the concubines, and those who came did not refuse.
No wonder his mother gave him a beautiful concubine to the old lady, but she just smiled and didn't even say a superfluous word. Only a smart woman like her mother, who doesn't take a man's favor to heart, you love yours, I live mine, the occasional refusal, pretending to be stupid, makes my father infatuated with it today.
Seeing that her daughter was silent, Gu Shi said: "This third young lady, you can't underestimate it, a few specious words made your father angry, at a young age, she could come up with such a plan, no wonder the second miss was defeated in her hands back then." ”
Xin Yao replied to her senses and said: "This is called a good bamboo shoot!" ”
Gu Shi smiled and said solemnly: "You stay away from her, it hasn't been a few years." ”
Xin Yao pinched a piece of dim sum, tasted it, it tasted good, Fang smiled: "Mother, she is a paper tiger, she looks very open and clawed on the outside, and she is the most vulnerable on the inside." ”
Gu handed the tea bowl to Xin Yao's hand and said angrily: "Paper tigers are also tigers, and if you are cold, you will bite people." By the way, do they have a letter from your little uncle? ”(..)
