When Aunt Du saw her daughter coming, she hurriedly got up and personally made hot tea and handed it to her daughter, sitting on the side and watching.

Jiang Xinyu will turn fourteen after the New Year, and it is time to talk about marriage. Only she looks like her mother, she can only be called delicate and lovely, and she is a concubine, even if she has been raised in front of her mother since she was a child, but as soon as a clear-eyed person inquires, she will know the details.

Rich and noble families, who pay the most attention to their families, are unwilling to marry a young lady as their main wife. People with ordinary family backgrounds, Jiang Hongjian and his wife can't look down on them. Therefore, it is not high or low.

Although Jiang Xinyu was secretly anxious in her heart, she couldn't express it on her face, so she had to flatter her mother every day, just hoping to make her mother happy and tell her that she was a good family.

Xinyu saw her aunt staring at her, and comforted her softly: "Auntie doesn't have to worry about me, my mother is very good to me, my aunt just takes care of her body and takes care of her father." ”

Aunt Du wiped away her tears: "My aunt has no ability, and your father is a person who likes the new and hates the old, only bitter my son, and now that he is going to be fourteen years old, and he hasn't settled down yet, how can you let my aunt not worry?" ”

Xinyu's face turned crimson, and she lowered her head and sighed softly: "I can't compare to my big sister's life!" ”

Jiang Xinqiong, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, married the Feng family, a famous family in Suzhou Prefecture, and last year the Feng family was promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and the family moved to the capital.

Jiang Xinqiong has outstanding appearance, although she has a soft temperament, she has her own square circle inside, coupled with her stomach, she gave birth to her brother in less than two years after entering the door, so she is quite popular with her in-laws.

When Aunt Du heard this, her heart became even more sour: "It would be good if my son was born in his wife's womb." ”

"Why do you always say such things. Over the years, my mother, brother, and sister-in-law have never treated me as an outsider. ”

Aunt Du snorted and hurriedly diverted her words: "Let's eat together today, how do you see the fourth young lady?" ”

Jiang Xinyu thought about it for a while and said: "Auntie didn't see the fourth sister today, wearing a plain jacket, no beads on her head, and a white hosta holding her hair, even if she was the color of her sister-in-law, she also compared." Those eyes, which look so good, are dark and bright, like the sunshine in spring, and they make people's hearts warm. It's just that I'm still young now, and if I'm a few years older, I'm afraid it's ......"

Jiang Xinyao paused slightly, slowed down her speech, and said leisurely: "I see that the rules of the fourth sister are also good, and there is no mistake in the slightest gesture." As for being a person, I can't see it for a while, but I will slowly grow up in the future, and I will know a thing or two. ”

This is not surprising, just look at her mother, and you know that you can't be wrong. It's strange that Aunt Zhou wanted to be ruthless that time. If she is here, how can there be a third lady or anything? ”

Xinyu exclaimed: "Auntie, you mean ......"

Aunt Du said softly: "Silly child, how can a mother in this world take care of others for the sake of her own children?" It's my aunt, for you, I can do it. ”

Xinyu turned her mind a few times, took Aunt Du's hand and said, "Auntie's words, my daughter has written it down, let's just watch from the side." The eldest sister came back with a letter, only saying that she was homesick, if my aunt was free, she would help the eldest sister make a few beautiful clothes, and it would be good to complete my thoughts, right? ”

Aunt Du sighed: "If your eldest sister can miss you like you miss her, your aunt doesn't have to worry about you in every way." ”

Xinyu said: "Auntie, don't worry, everyone has their own lives, you can't force it, and your daughter has her own plans." ”

……

Dongmei called Yinggui, Danyue, and Weiyun to her early in the morning, and told the three of them what the young lady meant.

Dongmei said with a straight face: "You have been following me for all these years, you should know my temper somewhat." I just want to say one thing, just take the master to heart, do your part well, listen and watch more, and be cautious in your words and deeds. The warbler is responsible for your food, which is the most important piece, and there are many people in the house, and there are many eyes. The piece of clothing is handed over to Weiyun, and it is enough to be careful. Light Moon, Miss has another important use, and you will be in charge of this Tingfeng Xuan's account in the future. ”

Eyes fell on the faces of the three of them, Dongmei pondered for a moment, and said in a relaxed tone: "I am a few years older than you, looking at you like looking at my sister, my sister said something from the heart, Miss is a kind-hearted person, and being able to follow such a master is a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes." What can be said, what can be done, and who has to be guarded, there must be a success in the heart, this house is not as good as Qingyang Town. ”

The three of them respectfully responded.

Dongmei thought for a while and said, "Mother Li is old and can't stay up late, from now on, the four of us will take turns to go to the night." Let me say more, those people in Qingshan Courtyard, be careful, you can't make a mistake. ”

The three of them nodded their heads and did not mention it.

Jiang Xinyao began her life in the Jiang Mansion without panic.

Every day, I accompanied my mother to Guiyuntang to ask for peace, and watched my mother take care of the house, and a morning passed like this. After having lunch in Qiushui Temple, after a while, he wrote and drew on the paper, and talked and laughed with a few maids. When I was in a good mood, I did some needlework, and I didn't go out much, just stayed in Tingfeng Xuan to spend my days.

It's no wonder that Jiang Xinyao is so lazy, because the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is really cold, the days are short, the flowers and plants in the garden are all defeated, and the cold wind is blowing by the heart lake, which is more comfortable than staying in the room and roasting on the fire.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Jiang Xinyao is wishful thinking to live behind closed doors, who would have expected that some people would not be used to seeing her so quiet.

First of all, the second lady Jiang Xinyu came to listen to Fengxuan every three or five days, and came to send a snack today, and sent a tea tomorrow, which was quite good.

Xin Yao has a good impression of this quiet second sister, and often talks with her, and she doesn't pull down the gift once.

After Jiang Xinyu took a few return gifts, she thought for a long time in the room alone. On the second day, he went to Tingfeng Xuan empty-handed.

Jiang Xinyao's heart was relieved, and her gaze at Xinyu became softer and softer. Neither of them is a person of many words, and when they are tired, they quietly do needlework in one place, but they are still quiet.

A few days later, the third lady Jiang Xinshan also shook over, saying that she hadn't seen her for many years, and she was concerned about the living situation of the fourth sister.

As soon as Jiang Xinshan came, Jiang Xinyu didn't sit much, chatted a few words, and then found an excuse to leave. Only the two sisters in the second room were left looking at each other.

Jiang Xinyao saw her second sister acting like this, and her heart was clear. is also the daughter of the Jiang family, one is the eyeball of an old lady, and the other is just a maidservant, and the same concubine has a different fate, so she should avoid her edge.

Jiang Xinshan sat for a long time, first sighed at the sisterhood, then recalled the beautiful life in Yangzhou, and finally made a wonderful comment on Xinyao's clothes and jewelry.

Fourth sister, these earrings are a little vulgar, and the ones with rubies are better.

Fourth sister, the style of this dress is older, and the chest and waist have to be tightened more. Look at the workmanship of this skirt, tsk, tsk, tsk, look at the stitches, they are not dense enough at all.

The fourth sister doesn't rub some rouge lipstick on her face, and her little face is so pale that she can't get into her eyes. The hairstyle is also very tacky, and it has to be changed.

In short, Jiang Xinyao went from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, and nowhere could it enter her eyes.

Jiang Xinyao's attitude towards this kind of behavior of belittling others and elevating herself is a three-noes policy that is left unchecked: no reason, no response, and no refutation. She was too busy doing her job to deal with the proud peacock in front of her.

The third sister has a tight chest and waist, which hinders the development of the chest; Rouge rubbed too much, affecting skin breathing; Wearing a full set on the head, it is not good for the cervical spine. I'm cheesy, I'm happy, where you come from, go back, please raise your noble hand. Jiang Xinyao only needs to recite this sentence silently three times a day before eating to ensure that she has a good appetite.

Miss Jiang San's sharp weapon touched Miss Jiang Si's shield, so it was naturally not easy to use. A month later, Jiang Xinshan stopped visiting Tingfeng Xuan.

Xin Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, holding a hand stove and laughing on the collapse without saying a word.

Yinggui came in with a white fungus lotus seed soup, and when she saw that the third miss was not here today, she felt a little incredible, and hurriedly asked where the third miss went.

Xin Yao thought for a while and said, "The ants left your house, not because it was going to rain in your house, but because they found bones that were more fragrant than your house." ”

The warbler listened to it, only to feel dazed.

Mother Li, who has the potential to entertain, successfully gossiped about why Miss San left Tingfeng Xuan two days later, and found out the more fragrant bone that Miss San was looking for.

First of all, Mother Li told Xin Yao that the reason why the third lady came to listen to Fengxuan every day was because Aunt Zhou heard that the fourth lady's room was full of gold and gold, jewelry, and dazzling. I also heard that the fourth lady wore a Luo wrap and inserted gold and silver. was afraid that the second wife would take the opportunity to move all the treasures in the treasury of Jiangfu, so she sent her daughter to come to investigate.

How do you know that our fourth lady doesn't like gorgeous clothes Zhucui, there are only a few sets of clothes to change, and Zhucui wears and wears, and there are only a few hairpins. As for the valuables that Gu put in the room, she had already put them away and slept in the box.

After a month, Jiang Xinyao's attitude of not entering the oil and salt made Jiang Xinshan extremely annoyed, and she only felt that she was playing the piano to the cow. I didn't see what I wanted to see, so I had to stop fighting and switch to the position. is also, a little girl who is used to living in the countryside, how can she know what is noble, what is glamorous, and what is magnificent.

When Jiang Xinyao heard this, the first reaction in her mind was: Hear? Who listens? Yo, this week's aunt's hand is long enough, and the speed is not slow.

Secondly, Li's mother told Xin Yao that now the third lady runs to the grandmother's room every day, and she stays for half a day, as for what she is doing, she has not yet found out.

Jiang Xinyao took Li's mother's hand, stuffed her with five taels of silver, and said, "Mom has worked hard, and she has to clean up the weeds in the yard, which looks a little unsightly." Don't pull it out, just put it there and let everyone have a number in their hearts. ”

Mother Li understood, lifted the curtain and walked out of the house in a hurry.

Yinggui stepped forward and touched the young lady's hand, flicked the silver frost carbon in the brazier a few times, and saw that the young lady was in a daze, and sneered: "Miss, why bother to be sad for that kind of person, let's just live our own lives, there are two masters and two wives in everything." ”

Jiang Xinyao smiled and said, "Silly girl, where am I for her, do you know where my father has been resting recently?" ”

Yinggui blushed and said shyly: "Miss, I heard that I have been resting in the second wife's room for the past few days, and I don't know about the rest." ”

Xin Yao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "What about my father's aunt?" I heard that he was a very good-looking person. ”

"The slave has seen it once, and it does look like a Peugeot. But the second master doesn't seem to go to that person's yard very much. ”

"Oh?"

Jiang Xinyao smiled deeply: "It seems that Aunt Zhou is a little anxious. Tonight, you go to the kitchenette to cook two good dishes, and let's go to my mother's to eat. Then ask Mother Li to bring a letter back, and let Yan Ming bring a small part of the book I put on Fu Bo's side, and take a look at your sister by the way. You two haven't seen each other for more than half a month. ”

Yinggui carefully tasted Miss Pin's words and nodded.
