Chapter 16 The Rejuvenated Jiang Mansion (Three Watches)
Shen wiped his tears, told his eldest son over and over again, and finally gritted his teeth, sent the child to Gu's side, and was deeply blessed, and then glanced at his son reluctantly, turned around and boarded the boat, and fell into Jiang Yuanqing's arms and wept secretly.
Jiang Yuanqing is not an uninformed person, he has a few catties and a few taels, he is like a mirror in his heart, he handed over his son to the second room, and followed the second uncle to study, he is a hundred willing in his heart.
Zhou Xiaoli looked at the uncle and lowered his head and whispered softly to comfort her, and saw the eldest lady say goodbye to everyone in the Feng Mansion one by one. Shen Mansion, Feng Mansion transported things to the south occupied a whole boat, thinking about leaving Beijing by himself, the mansion only sent two brothers with a few words, and couldn't help but feel sad and sad.
Chen looked at his eldest grandson who had grown up beside him since he was a child, his face was full of grief and indignation, but he dared not speak out. The old lady speaks, who can resist?
Jiang Zichen stepped forward and took the handkerchief handed by the maid, helped Chen wipe his tears and said, "Grandmother, don't cry, go back and wait for my book to read, and I will go back to the south to accompany you!" ”
Chen Shi couldn't help but see his grandson say such heart-warming words, sad and happy, hugging Zichen, meat, and screaming. It wasn't until the old lady glared at her fiercely that she restrained herself.
Jiang Hongjian doesn't care, his grandson is better than following him to study in the second room all day long, in case he gets a reputation in the future, his big face will be bright.
The old lady Xing was happy, and a few days ago, Hongyuan was promoted to Hubu Langzhong, and specially took him to Yiyuan. The uncle and nephew had a drink and said something heart-to-hearted. Only then did he go back to Jiang's mansion drunk. If he can find his brother in his lifetime, he will have no regrets in this life!
After a farewell, the ship left the dock. The farther and farther they went, everyone stood on the shore and watched until the boat disappeared, and then they went home one after another!
……
As soon as the old lady and the people in the big house left, the Jiang Mansion in the capital suddenly became empty.
The next day, Jiang Yuanhang moved to a new home, and the young couple got up early in the morning. Take the two children to the main room to say goodbye. Jiang Hongsheng reprimanded a few words with a straight face, and then went to the yamen.
Although Gu was reluctant to let go of his grandson. The granddaughter, but she didn't say much, and after a few careful explanations, she let people reply.
Jiang Yuanhang and his wife felt a little guilty in their hearts. But because the relocation was imminent, it was too late to be sad, so I personally went to the northwest corner to invite Aunt Zhou, who lived here alone.
When the four tall janitories saw the second master and his wife coming, they didn't dare to take the big one, so they immediately unlocked the lock and respectfully invited people in.
After several years of confinement, Aunt Zhou, who was still two points beautiful, quickly became a middle-aged woman with a haggard appearance. Dressed in half-new clothes, his hair was scattered, and he was sitting on the kang in a daze with a hosta.
Jiang Yuanhang saw that there was not even a waiter in his aunt's house, and the tea was cold. Tears flowed down my face.
called the maid, combed the aunt's hair, and dressed up. I picked out a brand new dress from the cupboard and changed it for her.
Aunt Zhou heard that the Jiang family had split up, and the old lady followed the big house to the south, and before leaving, she allowed herself to follow her son, and her daughter-in-law Beppu lived in another place, and she couldn't believe it. It wasn't until Jiang Yuanhang helped her out of this courtyard that Aunt Zhou woke up like a dream. I couldn't help but cry like rain.
kowtowed three times in the direction of Guiyuntang, called his aunt a few times, and was persuaded by his son and daughter-in-law a few times, before he stopped crying, did not look back, and hurriedly let people help him into the carriage.
After getting into the car, Aunt Zhou asked why the little maid serving in the car didn't see the second master and the Gu family coming to see them off.
The little maid was dressed in blue clothes, and she had just entered the mansion, and she didn't know much about the old things in the mansion, so she smiled and said: "My aunt, the second master, and the second wife are such delicate people, why do you need to come to see us off." You, follow the second master safely, don't worry about that! ”
Aunt Zhou showed a look of disdain on her face, and said coldly: "She can also be called delicate, hmph, from a small family, how can she be compared to the noble Mansion of the Marquis of Annan!" ”
"Auntie, be careful, trouble comes from the mouth."
Xia He stood at the corner door dressed in green, his face was uncertain, and his voice suddenly rose a few points.
"Second master, the second wife just let you out for the sake of the second master's filial piety, don't talk about not accumulating virtue, and spoil the good life that you finally asked for. The second lady is delicate or not, and she doesn't worry about you, but the old lady doesn't let the third lady come to the door, you can inquire carefully, don't forget the pain of the scar again. The second master specially told the slave maid that if the aunt turns around and is restless and guards herself, the courtyard in the northwest corner will be kept for you! ”
The couple in the carriage behind them, hearing the difference, both silently lowered their eyes, Wu's face burned red, and his heart was deeply hated. Look at what Aunt Zhou said, no wonder she was robbed by Xia Hebai, and she wanted the second master and the second wife to listen to it, and it was another piece of tongue.
Thinking of this, Wu pushed his man with his elbow.
Jiang Yuanhang turned his head and said in a low voice: "Don't care! ”
When Wu heard this, he was angry and simply didn't say anything.
When the little maid heard Xia He's voice, she shrank her head in fright, and quickly pulled her aunt's sleeve.
Aunt Zhou just wanted to refute out loud, but when she saw the pleading on the little girl's face, thinking about the lonely and lonely days in the past few years, she gritted her teeth.
Xia He snorted coldly, and then changed his soft voice and said, "The slave and maid send the second master, the second grandmother." The second wife said, please the second master, the second grandmother is free, take the child to go back to the house and walk around, if there is anything missing in the house, just send someone to ask for it! ”
Jiang Yuanhang hurriedly said: "Thank you mother for your care, say to the second wife for me, and when you settle down, you will come back to say hello to the second elder!" ”
Seven or eight carriages slowly drove away from Jiang's mansion, leaving behind the sound of squeaky wheels, and Xia Hemu was sent for a long time before turning around and going to reply to the second wife!
……
This time, Jiang's mansion was really cleaned, and the Gu family ordered someone to close the courtyard gate of Guiyun Hall, leaving only four maids to sweep the courtyard every day, dust off the dust, and relocate the people in the mansion.
Without the big Buddha sitting on his head, the Gu family made a big move. However, in just a few days, the Jiang Mansion showed a thriving trend.
The most frustrated thing in the Jiang Mansion now is Aunt Hong, who was the old lady's personal maid at the beginning, and often walked around Guiyuntang, although she was not well received by the second master, her life was still passable.
The old lady left, not to mention the lack of reliance, the servants were also much slower, the degree of food and clothing was not as good as before, thinking that she had carried her aunt for a few years, and she didn't even have a son and a half daughter, and she couldn't help but suffer from it, and she endured it every day to go to the second wife to ask for peace.
After that accident, Aunt Liu has already lost the mind of competing for favor, and she seems to have seen through everything at a young age, eating vegetarian food from time to time, chanting Buddha, and living in peace without quarreling or making trouble. Every day, step on the point, and go to the second wife to say goodbye.
As soon as the second master Jiang saw the old lady leaving, even the two aunts in the room understood the rules, and said very unceremoniously at the moment: "It should have been like this a long time ago, and the rules that should be obeyed still have to be kept!" Without even looking at the two aunts, he flicked his sleeves and went up!
Gu had the intention of setting up a rule in the mansion, so he was naturally happy to see it, nodded slightly, and agreed with his man's words.
Since then, the two aunts have been determined in the morning and dusk, and they dare not pull it down for a day.
……
In October, the weather suddenly cooled down.
Xin Yao's body was cold, and she ordered someone to set up a brazier early to keep warm, and it was okay during the day, but she didn't have the warmth at night, and her solid chest often woke up in the middle of the night.
When I woke up, I couldn't help but secretly worry about Xiao Han and my aunt, so it was difficult to fall asleep.
Seeing that winter is about to begin, I don't know if these two people can adapt to the harsh and cold weather in the northwest, and whether the poison of Sixteen has been resolved.
I heard that there was a heavy snowfall over there, and the ice and snow blocked the road, and the second brother had no news of them. Tianxiang said that the second brother's face was extremely ugly in the past two days, and even he was scolded, and several people had been sent down in a row, presumably because of his worries.
Xin Yao quietly took care of her home as usual, dealt with many trivial matters at hand, and often walked to her grandfather's side when she was free, making the old man happy, but the melancholy between her eyebrows was like a day.
Mother Li saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, so she hurriedly went to Jiang's mansion secretly, and said in front of the second wife for a while. On the second day, the Gu family took Yuan Hao and Zichen to Xiao's mansion.
Xin Yao had just finished cleaning up the house at this time, and when she heard that her mother, younger brother, and nephew had come to the door, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly invited someone in, and she didn't care about the wind outside, so she stood under the wind and waited.
Weiyun persuaded them a few times, and then said what Uncle Su Rili had taught them again, and then persuaded people to go in.
Gu took the two brothers to the West Courtyard to ask the old lady for peace, and the old lady saw the two little ones, so she refused to let them go, so she had to talk.
Brother Hao has always been a clever person, and his mouth is sweet and dead, according to Xin Yao's generation, grandfather, grandfather's voice is happy, and his gestures are quite a little adult; Brother Chen, who was a head taller than him on the side, looked more restrained, called out to his grandfather with a bitter face, and sat aside without speaking.
Old lady Xiao looked at the uncle and nephew, it was interesting, she had to leave a pillar of incense for the time, and then she was reluctant to let them go.
Xin Yao waited for a long time before the three of them arrived, and she was busy putting the melons, fruits, snacks and other foods that had been prepared on the table, and accompanied Gu and the two brothers to talk.
Gu Shi looked at his daughter's complexion, although it was white and red, there was a touch of blue under her eyes, she was secretly worried, but her face was smiling kindly.
Jiang Zichen is seven years old this year, he is already quite eye-catching at a young age, followed his uncle to his aunt's courtyard, looked all the way, compared to the Jiang family, it is also sparse and ordinary, and saw that his aunt was wearing a satin jacket with red fingers and red gold threads, only a white hosta on her head, and there was no decoration on her body, so she couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Xin Yao saw that her nephew's eyes were only looking at him, so she smiled and said, "How is Brother Chen's book?" I can get used to living in the house, and what I want to eat in the future, just tell my aunt. ”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zichen blurted out a sentence: "My aunt is so good-looking!" It's better looking than those who wear gold and jade! ”
Gu Shi frowned, but he still held the tea bowl steadily. (To be continued) (..)
