Chapter 42 Take care of the proportions
The old lady sighed a few times and said, "Three girls...... Brother's Full Moon...... Who went to the second room. ”
Jiang Yuanqing's face was embarrassed, he struggled a few times, and finally said honestly: "I heard that Yuanhang and his wife went to Du Mansion. ”
The old lady didn't know what to do, and waved her hand tiredly.
Jiang Yuanqing saluted and withdrew.
After the people left, Mama Qian sat on the couch and gently massaged the calves for the old lady.
When the old lady thought of her mother's downfall, she couldn't help but feel sad, and grabbed Mama Qian's hand: "That one...... There is news...... Came? ”
Mama Qian said softly: "Old lady, our people have been there a few times, and it is not easy to even get close, let alone ...... Old lady, let's call people back, in case the people in Beijing find out, it won't be a good thing for the house. Now that the official has done the household book, the Son of Heaven is close to the minister, we can't fight. Old lady, listen to the slave and maid's advice! ”
The old lady patted the edge of the couch and said angrily: "Jiang ...... Good fortune? ”
Mama Qian was startled, and hurriedly put the old lady's hand to her mouth and blew, rubbed and rubbed: "Jiang Fu is now the chief steward of Jinjue Pavilion, and he is the right-hand man of that person, if the young lady moves him, how can that one be willing?" ”
The old lady shook Mama Qian's hand, her face flushed, and she said excitedly: "They ...... It's all calculated...... Just hide it from me...... One...... I can't bear it! ”
Mama Qian looked at the old lady distressedly, and sighed again and again, this knot in her heart has been entangled for decades, how can she persuade it.
……
Jiang Yuanqing returned to the room, afraid that the Shen family would complain in his heart. hurriedly dismissed the maids, and said with a smile: "The old lady acts, it is difficult to favor the Zhou family." Don't worry, I won't go to her room. ”
How could Shen Ying still stick to the vinegar of the past, and said pleasantly: "In the end, it is the old lady's niece and granddaughter, and it is normal for the old lady to favor Aunt Xiao Zhou." I just thought that if the uncle wanted to get closer to the second uncle and second aunt and the fourth sister, he needed to be in good measure. The second aunt is just a concubine Zhou. The fourth sister is still involved in that one. ”
Shen Ying stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of Jiang Yuanqing's eyes: "That person and the Zhou family don't share the enmity of the sky, listen to the meaning of the fourth brother-in-law." The downfall of the Zhou family seems to be inextricably linked to that one. Uncle can be close and close. I've heard that even the second uncle is interested in getting close to that one. ”
Jiang Yuanqing slapped his forehead and said angrily: "That's exactly what I think." Partial old lady...... Ay! ”
Shen Ying sighed lightly: "The fourth sister refused Brother Hao'er to enter Beijing this time, although she shirked the mother-son connection, I am afraid that I and the eldest wife will be reluctant." Think deeper. It's not that we acted in front of us to chill the hearts of the four sisters. ”
As soon as Jiang Yuanqing heard the woman mention the matter of her eldest son, she regretted going to her grandmother's house.
Shen Ying looked at it in his eyes, and said more and more gently: "So you have to take care of the proportions, far away, the old lady is uncomfortable, close, if it is transmitted to the capital, I am afraid that others will have a misunderstanding." Ay. Let the uncle be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma. ”
Jiang Yuanqing felt that this had spoken to his heart, but he took that worry away by three points. hugged the woman, kissed him heavily, and said with a smile: "What's not embarrassing, it's for the sake of our little ones, I should be close to that end." ”
Shen Ying showed a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth, and grabbed the man's neck, and the couple got together for a long time, both of them were a little emotional, so they turned off the light, and it was another good night.
From now on, no matter how the little Zhou clan tricked in front of the old lady, how he was tender in front of Jiang Yuanqing, Shen Ying only lightly borrowed his strength, and did not waste a single soldier, so that the little Zhou clan fell behind.
Although the old lady has the heart to help, in the end, she has to take care of the Shen family, and no longer blatantly favors the little Zhou family like she favored Aunt Zhou back then, at most she only secretly beats and knocks.
This beating made Jiang Yuanqing's heart more biased towards the Shen family, and a few children held his heart as a father, and slowly, he didn't go to Xiao Zhou's room. Even if it is Xiao Zhou's turn, there is no more of the previous upside-down phoenix, and the warbler cries gently.
After a trip to the capital, Zhou Xiaoli's abacus not only did not succeed, but she lost the favor of a man, she was so angry that her eyebrows rose upside down, and her silver teeth clenched. The men of the heart are really all raccoon dogs, and they will leave people away when they taste fresh, which is the most ruthless and unrighteous.
complained about her parents, if they hadn't calculated to get her sister to Xiao Mansion, where could she have ended up in such a situation. It is said that Siji hurt his body, and Zhou Xiaoli fell ill a few days after returning to the south.
……
At the moment when Aunt Xiao Zhou was sick, Jiang Xinqiong, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, took the men and children and concubines, dragged back to the Jiang family with large and small cages, and planned to set off from Suzhou Wharf to Beijing in three days.
In fact, Taicang Mansion has a branch of flowing river boats entering Beijing, and the reason why Jiang Xinqiong is willing to seek the near and far is that she thinks of the old lady in the house, her parents and brothers, and wants to see each other before entering Beijing; One is also because his man has the heart to repent and wants to repair the relationship with the Yue family, and the husband and wife discussed it together, and they had this trip to the Jiang family.
When her own daughter returned to her parents' house, she was the happiest lady who had not yet arrived at the gate of the house, and the Chen family was waiting early.
Feng Siyuan and his wife entered the Jiang Mansion and went to Guiyuntang to meet the old lady first.
The old lady became a refined person, and when she saw the mother and son following behind the couple, she didn't say a word, but only politely sent the gift prepared in advance to Aunt Huang's hands.
Everyone in the Jiang Mansion didn't mention it before, and they all gave gifts. Feng Siyuan saw that the Jiang family was acting like this, and changed his mind a few times, and the respect on his face deepened a little.
Guiyun Hall was lively for half an hour before it quieted down. Feng Siyuan and his wife went to rest in the courtyard that had been prepared in advance.
At night, the Jiang Mansion held a banquet to entertain his daughter and son-in-law, the men drank outside, and the women ate dinner early and dispersed.
That night, Chen sent everyone to call his daughter to him, and asked his son-in-law about his recent performance. Jiang Xinqiong reported truthfully.
After hearing this, Chen's heart was really as his daughter-in-law expected, this Feng Siyuan was a clever person, and immediately explained a few words to his daughter.
Jiang Xinqiong came out of her mother's room and went straight to the eldest brother's courtyard to see her eldest sister-in-law and inquire about her man's promotion.
The Shen family told the sister-in-law how to discuss with the fourth sister, how to go to the Feng family, and how to ask the Shen family.
At the end, Shen looked at the sister-in-law's slightly yellowed face and said, "When you enter Beijing, the second uncle and the second aunt move around more." My brother and sister-in-law are far away, and you can't help you with anything in Beijing. Fortunately, the fourth sister is a capable person, if there is anything difficult to worry about, just go to her. I was able to step on the back one this time, thanks to the fourth sister,"
Jiang Xinqiong has always been close to this sister-in-law, and when she heard such heartwarming words, her eyes were already red, so she naturally responded one by one. Then I asked about Xin Yu and the Xin Shan sisters.
Shen also said to listen to her. Jiang Xinqiong gradually had a spectrum in her heart.
The two sisters-in-law talked about the Jiang Mansion, and each talked about the aunt in the room, this is like a flood that has opened the floodgates, endlessly, you pour your bitterness, I complain about my sadness, quite a common language, until Jiang Yuanqing was helped into the room, and then they dispersed.
Jiang Xinqiong stood quietly in the night for a long time, and then went to Chen's courtyard again, telling her mother not to favor Xiao Zhou's like the old lady anyway, which chilled the sister-in-law's heart.
Chen thought about the stupid things he had done before, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, so he replied.
Three days passed in a flash, Feng Siyuan and his wife said goodbye to the people in the Jiang Mansion, boarded the ship and set anchor.
Chen was reluctant to give up his daughter and two children, and cried into tears.
The boat drifted away, and everyone returned home.
……
A secluded courtyard in the northwest corner of Zheng's house was dead silent.
After a night of autumn rain, fallen leaves drifted all over the ground.
After recovering from her illness, Jiang Xinshan stood in the fallen leaves of the courtyard, staring at the bamboo shadows outside the high wall, and did not move for a long time.
There seemed to be some gentle laughter in the ears, a woman's angry laughter? Or the man's hearty laughter, or the child's innocent and innocent smile, faint, I can't hear it clearly.
Jiang Xinshan's expression was gloomy.
The door creaked, revealing a crack, and a woman dressed as a woman flashed in, quickly walked up to Jiang Xinshan, and called in a low voice: "Young grandma!" ”
When Jiang Xinshan saw the visitor, there was a light in her eyes, she grabbed the visitor's arm, and said hurriedly: "Pearl, how is it, how is the child?" ”
Pearl held Jiang Xinshan's hand with her backhand and comforted: "Grandma, don't worry, the slave has inquired, my brother is by my wife's side, I eat well, I sleep well, and my wife is in pain like something." This time, the doctor was invited because my brother kicked the quilt at night, and the nurse slept to death, so she caught a cold. I've taken a few pills, and I'm fine now! ”
"Kicking on the quilt and catching a cold?"
Jiang Xinshan was shocked in her heart, and sneered: "Who are you fooling, looking at me in this courtyard, I can't see with my eyes and can't hear with my ears, so I'm so confused." ”
Seeing Jiang Xinshan's face change greatly, Pearl hurriedly said, "Listen to what the young grandmother means......
"Pearl!" Jiang Xinyao interrupted her coldly.
"What's going on outside, have you inquired about it?"
Pearl frowned slightly, and secretly typed the draft a few times before cautiously saying, "The slave maid only inquired about it." A few days ago, the old lady went to Xiao Mansion and heard that she was going to give gifts. When the old lady came back, she called the old man and the sixth young master to discuss for a long time, originally planning to send the young grandmother to Zhuangzi, but later the young grandmother became ill and was detained in this courtyard. Within a few days, our sixth young master was promoted. ”
Pearl cautiously looked at Jiang Xinshan's expression, and finally said: "Listen to what people say, it seems that you are following the path of the Xiao family." The slave maid also inquired about ......"
"If you want something, tell me quickly!"
Pearl hesitated for a moment, her heart was slightly sour: "The slave maid also inquired that the old lady gave the remaining dowry of the young grandmother to the fourth lady!" ”
Jiang Xinshan suddenly changed color, shook off the pearl's hand violently, gritted her teeth and said: "I know, I know, they are so ruthless, so ruthless!" He actually took my dowry...... I ......"
Pearl was frightened and begged in a low voice: "Young grandmother, light, light!" (To be continued.) )
