Jiang Xinyao opened her eyes slowly, and she saw the two haggard faces of Dongmei and Li's mother.

"Miss, what should I do? What are you going to do? You have to wake up, you can't scare your mother. Mother Li stared at her bloodshot eyes and said anxiously.

Jiang Xinyao slowly closed her eyes. After a long time, he said softly: "Mom, I'm sorry for you!." ”

In just a few words, Dongmei and Li's mother were shocked into tears. Mother Li rushed to the Buddha statue with a sword step, chanting words in her mouth, and kowtowed seven or eight times in a row.

In the end, Dongmei was older, and told the little maid to go to the front yard to inform the master, and let the kitchen serve the young lady a bowl of porridge.

Jiang Xinyao's heart is as warm as the winter sunshine!

Li's mother is her wet nurse, although her mouth is faster and her voice is louder, she is loyal.

Dongmei is meticulous, thoughtful, and steady, and now she follows her, and she is also wholeheartedly devoted to her.

Recalling the situation of Shen's suicide, it seems that it was a matter of the previous life. I only remember the blood that was all over the ground, and I couldn't do it enough.

Shen's ah, Shen's, a brute, two mad dogs, a few rumors will make you give up your child and give up your life, you are not even afraid of death, why can't you live.

In an instant, there seemed to be a flash of thunder in front of Jiang Xinyao's eyes. She realized instantly. If you want to live, whether you can go back or not, you have to live well for your daughter.

……

Jiang Zhen was pacing back and forth in the study at this time. Jiang Fu, Jiang Quan waited with his head lowered on the side.

Just now, someone replied, and reported Miss Four's every move from birth to the present to the lord carefully. After listening, the master's square steps have been paced until now.

It's no wonder, not to mention that it's their own granddaughter, even their subordinates want to shed tears when they hear it. The city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond were affected, and the fourth lady suffered from this unwarranted disaster......

The little maid replied outside the study, saying that the young lady had woken up.

Jiang Zhen called people to the front, asked carefully, and told the kitchen to cook more light food, and the people waited well.

After sending the little maid away, Jiang Zhen picked up the teacup, drank the tea in one go, and then smashed it to the ground. Jiang Fu's legs were so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.

After a long time, Jiang Zhencai said hatefully: "Ah Fu, Ah Quan, you have followed me all these years, have you been so aggrieved as today." ”

Jiang Fu and Jiang Quan glanced at each other, but they were silent and did not speak.

"You two old things, this is going to be dumb, right? Let's talk about it, what kind of charter is this? Jiang Zhen said angrily.

Jiang Quan stepped forward and replied: "Master, Zhou's ruthlessness has not been a day or two, she is slapping you in the face." The Gu family is set by you, and Aunt Zhou is her niece, so the intimacy is naturally different. The old man is not in the house all the year round, and the second wife and a pair of children have naturally become a thorn in her eye, a thorn in her flesh. ”

Jiang Zhen sighed and said quietly: "You all think that the second daughter-in-law is my fancy, but in fact, it is not, it was the second daughter who begged me back then." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Fu was surprised.

Over the years, he had only said this one thing. It's my son, how can I ignore it. I have also looked at this Gu family, and I can afford to know the four words of knowledge, and my character is good. You only look at the six children of the Gu family, and you know what their family style is. ”

Jiang Fu said doggedly: "The brothers and sisters of the ** grandmother's family are all outstanding in appearance and generous in personality, but they don't interact much. ”

Jiang Zhen glanced at him and continued: "The Zhou family likes her niece, how can I not know? Zhou's personality doesn't matter, isn't the person she chooses just a character? I thought that the Gu family, whom the second child begged personally, would not do anything to spoil the concubine and kill his wife. Why is the Zhou family in charge, and I am far away in the capital, and I haven't paid attention to the affairs of the house at all these years. Ay! ”

Jiang Zhen sighed as if he was sad, and said with a sad face: "Now it seems that it is still my fault." I thought about Zhou's kindness back then, and I felt guilty of neglecting her all the year round, as long as I didn't touch Jinxin's mother and son, I tossed with her. How do you know that she is so ruthless and bitter-hearted. ”

Jiang Quan hesitated, but couldn't help but say: "Master, when you say this, the second master is a smart person." ”

Jiang Zhen asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Jiang Quan said: "Master, what do you think, the second master is not a ** person, there is only one wife and one concubine in the room over the years." Presumably, the Gu family won his heart, otherwise he would not have violated the will of the Zhou family back then, and came to beg you in person. It's just that the elders give it, and they can't resign, Aunt Zhou is the niece of the old lady, and she can't be snubbed. ”

Jiang Zhen's brows furrowed, a little unclear.

Jiang Quan hurriedly said: "This week, my aunt is arrogant and domineering, relying on the old lady, and giving birth to the eldest son and eldest daughter, and she doesn't take the Gu family seriously. The second master watched his wife and children suffer, and endured it for a while, can he endure it for a lifetime? I'm afraid that spoiling concubines and killing wives is just a superficial article. ”

"Surface article? In this way......" Jiang Fu continued Jiang Quan's words, and he couldn't go on halfway through the words.

Jiang Quan ignored him, only looked at Jiang Zhendao and said: "The promotion of the second master to the governor of Yangzhou is already a sure thing, and he will take office soon, who does the master guess he will take to Yangzhou?" ”

Jiang Zhen was very angry when he asked: "You old thing, I asked about your master." Say it! ”

Jiang Quan shrank his head and said in a deep voice: "If it is a master, he must bring the Gu family; If it's the second master, I guess it's Aunt Zhou. ”

Jiang Zhen smiled bitterly: "What you say is reasonable. In this way, my second son is not simple, he is a little smarter than me! ”

Jiang Quan further said: "The second master is a smart person, and a smart person can do things for a maximum of seven points, and three points will leave room for three points. In this way, Mrs. Jin and Young Master Yuan at least have no worries about their lives. ”

Although Jiang Zhen was relieved, he still sighed: "My two sons, since they were children, have never been close to me. I wanted to take it with me at the beginning, but the situation didn't allow it! Over the years, I am afraid that I have hated me so much, and this is also the sin I have committed. People, you can't make a mistake, you can't make a mistake, you can't make a mistake. ”

"Master, you were forced to do so back then." Jiang Fu heard that the words were wrong, and hurriedly said.

"What causes are sown and what fruits are fruited, this retribution will be unpleasant sooner or later. Well, when my granddaughter is better, I'll send it back to her mother. ”

"In my opinion, Miss Yao is better off staying by the master's side."

Jiang Quan thought for a while and said, "Master, what do you think, when the fourth miss left, the Gu family let you take the fourth miss without crying or making trouble?" Only let Dongmei and Li's mother follow, and the maids and mother-in-law around Miss Fourth didn't bring any of them, what is the reason? This is one of them. ”

"Second, the fourth lady has spoken now, I'm afraid it will be ...... when I go back," Jiang Quan groaned and didn't say any more.

Jiang Zhen thought for a moment, and immediately said: "This Gu is really a smart person, she is relieved of me." No matter what, just for her guts, I can't treat this little granddaughter wrong. ”

Jiang Fu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Tiger poison does not eat children, master." Miss Fourth is such a poor person! ”

For a while, the three of them in the study were speechless.

Jiang Quan thought for a while and said: "Master, recently, there are often some unfamiliar faces near the old house, and the accent doesn't look like the people of Qingyang Town. ”

Jiang Zhen frowned and said, "You're coming at us?" ”

"I can't find out, master, let's be careful!"

Jiang Zhen said again: "Let the subordinates leave more unexpected movements." Isn't there any news coming in these days? How is Jade Pavilion's business? ”

Jiang Quandao: "No news is good news, master can't be in a hurry." Cuiyuxuan's business is not good or bad, on the books, it is more out and less in. The shopkeepers are all old people, and they all know how to behave. Going back, I'll go to Beijing again, and ask in private! ”

Jiang Zhen said mournfully: "I just ask her and her mother to be safe and suffer less." Even if I die, it's worth it! ”

When Jiang Quan heard the master's words, his eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Master! ”

Jiang Zhen heard his call, turned his face, stared at him and said, "Ah Quan, all these years, follow me and wronged you." ”

Jiang Quan suddenly knelt on the ground: "Master, don't be wronged, don't be wronged, Ah Quan is willing in his heart." If it weren't for you, the grass on Ah Quan's grave wouldn't have grown. ”

Jiang Fu continued his dog-legged nature: "It is said that good people do not live long, and disasters live for thousands of years, which shows that this is reasonable." ”

One sentence made the two who were sad laugh.

Jiang Quan glanced at him gratefully, and pretended to be angry: "You old thing, one day, I will come to harm you." ”

Jiang Fu shrank his head and shouted: "Master Quan, Master Quan, my old life can't help your scourge, master, you have to be the master for me."

This commotion completely dispersed the solemn atmosphere in the study.

……

In the evening, Jiang Fu brought a message to Li's mother, and the lord asked the young lady to move to Yiyuan. The house and courtyard have been cleaned up, just waiting for the young lady to get better. If the young lady is short of anything, just ask him if he wants to go.

Jiang Xinyao heard it clearly in the room. If there is no accident, the old man is afraid that he has already found out about her.

What does this change in attitude mean? It shows that he has a sense of guilt......

Or he wanted to show favor to his son in exchange for the peace of the two......

Or maybe there is news of the two missing......

Jiang Xinyao raised her hand, looked at Fanfan's nails, and sighed softly: "It's good not to speak if you don't speak!" ”

……

Three days later, Jiang Xinyao officially moved into Yiyuan. Taking advantage of the right sun, she took Dongmei's hand and walked around the garden. sighed, this treatment is much worse.

The area of Yiyuan is very large, the main courtyard is wide, the five main rooms are connected to the ear room, the white walls and black tiles, and the beams are painted. In front of the main house, an ancient pine tree is flourishing, a few begonias in the courtyard are blooming, and two orchids in the corner of the wall add a bit of scenery.

Dongmei quietly looked at Miss's expression, and saw that she was a little interested, so she said softly: "Miss, let's say hello to the master tomorrow, no matter what, you can't lose your manners, Xie always has to thank you." ”

Jiang Xinyao stood in front of the ancient pine, pondering the varieties of pine. Hearing this, he thought about it carefully and nodded.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, not to mention that Jiang Xinyao does have something to do with her grandfather. She has been thinking about the two Shen children, so she can explore the old man's bottom line.

"Sister Dongmei, how much silver do we have now?" Jiang Xinyao asked suddenly.

"Miss's monthly routine is two taels of silver every month, and she has never touched it. When I went back to the ancestral house this time, my grandmother secretly gave me 200 taels and asked Mother Li to keep them. Dongmei was a little strange, why did the young lady suddenly ask about the silver.

"It's not much. It's enough to buy two people. ”

Dongmei pondered for a while and asked, "Miss wants to help those two children?" ”

Jiang Xinyao nodded, thinking that it was a big girl, serving tea and water, playing umbrellas and quilts, not to mention the diligent hands and feet, and even figuring out the master's thoughts.

"Miss is looking for help? I just don't know if the master will agree? Dongmei said.

"It's good not to know, it's not beautiful to know!" Jiang Xinyao said with a meaningful smile.
