In the afternoon of this day, Jiang Xinyao woke up from a nap, and a maid said that the eldest grandmother was coming. Xinyao and Dongmei glanced at each other and greeted them with a smile.

Shen Ying was dressed in a honey-colored cotton jacket, covered with a gold-rimmed pipa jacket, and a jasper hairpin was obliquely inserted on her head, with a little powder, as fresh and lovely as a hibiscus out of the water, where did she look like a person who had given birth.

Xin Yao sighed, stepped forward and grabbed the beauty's hand, and said coquettishly: "Why is such a cold sister-in-law here?" It was supposed to be me visiting my sister-in-law and little nephew, and I really deserved to be beaten. ”

Shen Yingwan smiled and said: "I heard that my sister has been frail and sick since she was a child, and she has been raising her in the old house, and my sister-in-law has wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I can't be free. ”

Xin Yao said as she helped Shen sit down, took the teacup by Dongmei's hand, and said, "It must be my little nephew who is pestering, sister-in-law is so blessed." ”

Shen Ying looked around and saw that the maids had retreated far away, Fang smiled and said: "Hey, it's a blessing and my injustice, I can't leave people for a moment, I'm really a little devil." ”

Xin Yao said angrily: "Listen to the old man, the child who is young is smart when he grows up." Look at my sister and I, I was well-behaved when I was a child, and when I was older, I was stupid to death. ”

Shen Yingjiao smiled: "My sister is really good at laughing, I, I just hope that he can be better than him, and I will be satisfied." ”

Xin Yao said: "Big brother is so good, contented and happy." ”

Xin Yao's cousin Jiang Yuanqing, who is twenty and two this year, looks dignified, doesn't like to study, only likes to follow his father to take care of economic affairs, and is happy all day long.

Shen Ying said: "Your brother and sister are interesting, my sister praises my brother for being content, and my brother praises my sister for being clumsy and hiding foolishness, and the relationship is really good." ”

Xin Yao chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Is my brother praising me or scolding me?" ”

Shen Ying smiled idly: "Good sister, your brother likes you." No, when we got married, you were in the old house, and this meeting gift, your brother has been thinking about it in his heart, and always said let me send it to you. Sister, do you like it? With that, he took a small dark box from the maid's hand and handed it to Xin Yao.

A set of fresh and small ruby heads is the most popular style at the moment. Xin Yao took a closer look and said with a smile: "It's hard for my brother and sister-in-law to remember me, and my sister doesn't have anything good, so I took the time to make a few clothes for my little nephew. Dongmei, you go and get it. ”

Dongmei turned around and went into the back room to get the clothes, returned and handed them to the maid who came with her, and said with a smile: "Grandma, these are all made by our young lady." ”

Xin Yao glanced at Dongmei and scolded: "Mouthy! It's just a few clothes, and it's not worth it. ”

Shen Ying said with a smile: "My sister is polite, there is a way to be polite and friendship, but it is my sister's heart that is embarrassing." If my sister has to come to the East Garden to sit often, I don't have there, there are still a few sips of good tea. ”

Xin Yao said with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, I am a delicious person, I can't just have good tea, I have to have good snacks, otherwise, I won't come." ”

Shen Ying covered Sijuan and smiled: "You girl, it's straightforward." Strike, strike, strike! In the future, I always have Wanfuxing's pastries in my room, just waiting for my sister to eat, what do you think? ”

Xin Yao said seriously: "Sister-in-law's words are very much in line with my heart. After that, I couldn't help but laugh first.

For a while, there was laughter in the room, so it was not lively.

Shen Ying sat for a while before she was satisfied with the maid's hand and went back.

Jiang Xinyao rubbed her face and sighed: "Sister Dongmei, it's really tiring to laugh with others, you look at my face, the smile is sour." ”

Dongmei was putting away the box, and when she heard Miss say this, she smiled and said, "Miss should also move, and she is not bored if she sits in the room all day long to write and draw." But what the hell is the meaning of the grandmother's trip, the slave and maid really didn't understand it for a while. ”

Jiang Xinyao picked up a sour plum and put it in her mouth, but she didn't smile.

……

Shen Ying returned to the room, picked up the clothes given by Xin Yao and looked through them carefully, and sighed for a long time: "It is said that the fourth sister is frail and sickly, and she stays in the countryside all the year round without supervision, just looking at this embroidery skill is not simple!" Our lord, nothing else works, it's really accurate to look at people. ”

Shen Ying's eldest maid Mingyu leaned over and looked at it carefully for a long time before saying, "The fourth lady's female red must have been taught by the master." Grandma, you take a closer look, this stitching, needle, needle, knotting, how can the embroidery girl in the family have such craftsmanship? ”

Shen nodded and said: "As soon as the ruby head was opened, the fourth sister didn't even raise her eyebrows, and there was not much joy on her face, so it can be seen that she has seen good things." In terms of rules, I must have asked my grandmother to raise me, and when she served me tea just now, I saw the gesture of giving one gift and one serving. ”

Ming Yuqi said: "These four young ladies have been raised in the countryside for all these years, and the people in the house said that the deceased old lady forced her to go, and I am afraid that life is not easy, why does it seem ...... now?"

Shen said: "It is said that hearing is false, seeing is believing, and everything needs to be long-sighted." From tomorrow onwards, if the third lady comes every day, she will say that I have a cold, and I am afraid that I will be sick, and I will have to take care of it for some time. ”

"Big Grandma means ......"

Shen Ying sighed lightly and frowned: "Although the aunt is in charge of this house, there is still an old lady above." The old lady doesn't like her aunt, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. My mother-in-law doesn't want to see Aunt Zhou, which one should I touch? ”

Mingyu thought about the cold air coming out of Aunt Zhou's nose, and said: "The slave maid has been in this mansion for a few years, but I think that the second wife is a kind person. ”

Shen Ying shook his head lightly: "Who in this mansion doesn't know that the second wife is a good one, just say this, let's say it's useless." ”

Mingyu frowned and said, "What is the eldest grandmother going to do?" ”

"It's better for us to be far away, let's see first. When the situation is clear, it's not too late to take sides. Go and see if Brother Chen'er is awake? When you wake up, you bring it. ”

……

Jiang Xinyao's master and servant were also talking about what the eldest grandmother did today. Xin Yao took out the head mask and looked at it again and again.

Dongmei said with a smile on the side: "Before the old lady was alive, how many good things did the young lady give, and I didn't see the young lady take a closer look, and she threw it aside after playing twice, why did she look at this face for a long time today." ”

Xin Yao chuckled: "I'm looking at how much this ruby head is worth, so I don't have any money to raise Sister Dongmei one day, so I can go there." ”

Dongmei blushed and said: "Miss, I can take care of your money bag now, how much money do you have, I am a slave and maid, how can there be a master who cries poor at the maid?" ”

Xin Yao smiled, and there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes: "What I said was not wrong. You asked Mother Li to inquire, what are the meeting gifts of the other ladies in the house? ”

"Miss?"

"Sister Dongmei, my grandfather gave me something to coax me to play, and it was a fun. Grandma sent me, but I have to ask why, you say yes? ”

Dongmei wondered: "That's exactly the reason." Miss, can you guess the intention of the grandmother? ”

Xin Yao squinted at Dongmei, and smiled without saying a word.

Dongmei stomped her feet and said hatefully: "Miss came to test me again, and asked the slave to say that the eldest grandmother is afraid that she is here to find out the details of the fourth miss." ”

Jiang Xinyao often likes to listen to the maids analyze problems, if they are right, they will laugh, and if they say something wrong, Jiang Xinyao will say it in detail.

Xin Yao nodded and sighed: "In this deep mansion compound, everyone has to look at the old lady's eyes and act. But the old lady was very old after all. At present, this house is a lump of mud, and in a year or two, I am afraid that it will be clear. The big grandmother's trick of throwing stones to ask for directions was used earlier. ”

Dongmei said: "Miss, our second room and the big room have always gotten along well, is it ...... grandma to do this?"

Xin Yao smiled meaningfully: "Sister Dongmei, smart people like to watch dishes!" ”

……

A month after Jiang Xinshan returned to Jiang's mansion, life was extremely boring.

She has been in Yangzhou for five years, and she has always regarded herself as Miss Yan. Because of her affinity with the Marquis of Annan, the lady of the officialdom of Yangzhou Mansion did not look down on her. In addition, her father was promoted to the prefect of Yangzhou and only brought their family to take office, and over time, she had long forgotten that her father still had a main room in Suzhou Mansion.

Cinderella wore the crystal slipper into the royal ball, and when the time came, the crystal slipper lost its magic, and Cinderella had to change back to her original identity.

Jiang Xinshan's real identity is just a concubine, and her biological mother is just an aunt. The position of the wife of the main house of those famous families is not something that a concubine born to her aunt can sit on.

Although she Jiang Xinshan does not have the beauty of sinking fish and geese, she also has to be good-looking, talented, and the granddaughter of the eldest lady of the dignified Hou Mansion is inferior to the concubine, which makes Jiang Xinshan, who is arrogant, how can she be willing?

Although over the years, the old lady has been pampered tightly, and she doesn't have to say goodbye to her mother-in-law, nor does she need to look at anyone's face to live, and the food and clothing are the first in this house, but even if the old lady holds her to the sky, she is still the third lady from the Jiang family. What's more, how many more years will the old lady live?

My grandmother is 50 years old this year, and since the death of my grandfather, her health has been poor, and her mental head has become worse and worse, so she has asked a doctor for medicine twice a day. As soon as the father returned to Suzhou Mansion, he only ran to the main house all day long, leaving their mother and daughter cold. My brother doesn't care about everything, he is messed up with the maids, and he can't count on it. If this continues, when the old lady leaves, will she still be able to live the good life she used to have?

Jiang Xinshan didn't dare to think about it, but she couldn't help it, the reality was in front of her, and she couldn't deceive herself. Concubines, concubines, one word is different, thousands of miles apart. She is no longer the little girl who got carried away for a new dress and a set of jewelry a few years ago, and this simple request cannot meet Jiang Xinshan's growing ambitions.

In the evening of this day, Jiang Xinshan had nothing to do, walked to the gate of Chunshan Courtyard alone, and saw her aunt stretching her neck from a distance, looking impatiently at the gate of the courtyard.

Jiang Xinshan only felt sour in her heart.

For many years, as long as I returned to this mansion, my aunt always stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited for my father to come, waiting day by day, year by year. When my father came, my aunt had a smile on her face. If in Yangzhou, why does my aunt need to be so impatient, where can my father rest except for my aunt?

Jiang Xinshan hid behind the tree, her eyes showing a cold light, and her silver teeth clenched. After standing for a moment, he quietly returned again.
