Chapter 24 Gossip
At two o'clock, the capital.
A woman in plain clothes, a man with a weak crown wearing linen and filial piety, knelt in front of the hall full of white flags with a sad expression, and wept silently.
……
That night, Dongmei said that Jiang Quan had brought news, and Miss Jiang Fu would lead Miss out tomorrow and let Miss get ready for travel.
Jiang Xinyao has seen too many of the faces of her so-called relatives in the past few days, and she only feels cold, no wonder the old man chose himself.
In Zhou's bedroom, Jiang Hongjian and Jiang Hongsheng waited for Zhou's medication and discussed when to return to Suzhou Mansion.
As soon as Jiang Zhen passed away, Jiang Hongjian took over the banner of the head of the Jiang family, and his title changed from uncle to lord, and he had a little more confidence in speaking than in the past.
Relatives and friends have passed away one after another. In the end, the old mansion in Qingyang Town is not as comfortable as Jiang's mansion, and several concubines have long had their opinions, forcing Master Jiang to mention the matter of returning to the house to the old lady.
Zhou's sadness has been excessive in the past few days, and his body is obviously not as good as day by day, and he has not been able to get better after taking medicine. Jiang Hong was afraid that something would happen to his mother, and he also wanted to go back as soon as possible. The three of them totaled and decided to return to the Jiang Mansion after the first seven days, and set up a spiritual guard system in the Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Hongsheng explained to his mother that he had written to the court.
Zhou pondered for a moment, and only said that after three years, let Hou Ye walk and see if he could go further.
Jiang Hongsheng was 20 years old and ranked 55th in the second grade of high school jinshi, starting step by step from a seven-grade petty official, down-to-earth, and his official evaluation performance was excellent every year. In the early spring of last year, he was promoted to the prefect of Yangzhou.
There is a way to be a three-year Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Jiang Hongsheng has just done a little bit of a good job, his father died, and he had to keep the ancestral system to worry, and he felt a little regretful in his heart. The old lady dialed this point, and settled down a little.
……
Let's say that Aunt Zhou has not been in a good mood since she returned to Qingyang Town.
In the past four years in Yangzhou, she has lived in a golden gate and jade household, and she wears silk and satin. The house respectfully calls her a grandmother, and the man is husband and wife, and the case is eyebrows. The life of being a housewife is like a fish in water. Even if the second master accepted the Yangzhou "thin horse" given to him by his boss, the days in her room were not less.
Aunt Zhou posed generously as an official wife, invited someone to enjoy the flowers today, went to the banquet tomorrow to listen to a song, and then went to the garden, and was very busy.
There is a black cat, a white cat, and a good cat that can catch mice. To be able to be taken by a man by his side must be extremely favored. The wives of Yangzhou officialdom, the ladies who care whether she Zhou Xiuyue is the main house or the aunt, all revolve around her. This decent honor made Aunt Zhou's self-confidence rise to the peak.
Now that I have returned to the old house, the man rests in the main room every day, not to mention, those subordinates, Aunt Zhou on the left and Aunt Zhou on the right, make her liver angry.
There is a way to go from simplicity to luxury, and from luxury to simplicity is difficult. Aunt Zhou fell from an official wife to an aunt, a concubine and the like, how can her fragile heart withstand this huge gap!
Of course, this is only one of them.
Another reason why Aunt Zhou was in a bad mood was Gu's.
In the past few years, Gu has been in charge of the family, and his gestures are full of momentum. In addition, the body is properly conditioned, the mood is smooth, the face is smooth, the lips are ruddy, and it looks more and more youthful and beautiful.
Aunt Zhou's appearance is slightly inferior, plus she is two years older, and she had a miscarriage a year ago, and she has never been adjusted.
Coupled with the fact that he is a strong person, the gentleness of that bowed head is far from that of the Gu family.
These few times together, it seems that she is acting like a good man, and her complexion is embarrassing, and she just can't wait to go back to the furnace and rebuild it.
In fact, Aunt Zhou is also beautiful, just because she has been wearing grease and powder for a long time, and she shows off her makeup every day, and no matter how good her foundation is, she can't stand the toss.
The old lady died and kept filial piety, you said that one of your aunts wore heavy makeup and dressed up in a fancy way during the period of heavy filial piety, what is the matter? Don't talk about others, just Jiang Hongsheng's cold eyes were enough for her to tremble for a long time.
The last and most important reason why Aunt Zhou was in a bad mood was a pair of Gu children.
Let's talk about the big one first, looking at her a few years ago, she was still a half-dead mute. It's good now, it's like her mother to scratch the demons, especially those eyes, which are very seductive. I knew that I would grow like this, and I should have been ruthless in the first place.
Besides, the little one, the third young master of the Jiang family, the youngest grandson of the old lady, stood beside the second master, and the relatives and friends of the family did not praise a few words of wisdom and talent. Her own Brother Hang was forced to be squeezed aside and became a foil, isn't this a blockage for her!
If you want to talk about this, it's no wonder that Aunt Zhou is angry. Jiang Hong gave birth to two sons, and their appearance follows their mother, high and low, and they can be seen at first sight.
That big, in a few months it will be fifteen, in the past few years in Yangzhou, nothing else has been learned, eating, drinking and having fun is a good hand, and I have tasted the taste of wind and snow early, and there are beautiful maids in the room one by one. The strange thing is that Jiang Hongsheng never asked, and let it go. Over time, it has become what it is today.
The small one, who gets up in the morning to practice martial arts, practices Sanfu in summer, and practices Sanjiu in winter, has a sturdy, upright, and powerful body, plus Xiao Mu, the two stand together, high and low.
What's more, the two masters of the Jiang family, one is a concubine and the other is a concubine. Relatives and friends of the family who don't have a seven-stealing exquisite heart, the intimacy is naturally different.
Thinking of the boy who had become a child a year ago, Aunt Zhou was sad, and the hatred in her heart gushed out. She didn't believe it, then the Gu family was so good, and it would always be better than her.
She Zhou Xiuyue never believed in fate, and one day, she would stand tall in front of the Gu family, looking at her coldly with her head down.
……
Aunt Zhou was gritting her teeth and being indignant, and the Chen family was also holding back her resentment and being filled with righteous indignation.
What do you say? It turned out that Aunt Zhou came back from Yangzhou Mansion, with a brocade dress and embroidered jacket, her head full of pearls and emeralds, and her two nostrils facing the sky, looking high. Seeing Chen's, he didn't say a blessing, he called out to his grandmother, threw a handkerchief directly, twisted his buttocks and walked in front of Chen's, how can there be any rules at all?
You said that you are a concubine, just keep your duty, and you are still arrogant and dustless, isn't it just relying on yourself to be the niece of the old lady?
What is a concubine, that's the plaything of the master, it's half a master if it's good, but it's just a slave if it's ugly. Hum! Today's Jiang Mansion is becoming more and more unruly, no wonder Old Lady Jiang would rather die than come back.
The more Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more angry he became. It seems that when I return to Suzhou Mansion, I have to talk to my younger siblings.
……
In the room, a few maids who had been tired all day were lying on the bed gossiping.
The round-faced little girl said: "Sister Yinggui, do you say that our young lady is staying here, or is she going back home with the ** milk?" ”
Yinggui glanced at her with disgust, and said busily: "Remember, you can call the second wife in the future, the old man has passed away, and the titles in the house need to be promoted, so you must not call it wrong." ”
Danyue stuck out her tongue, and secretly said that there are many rules in big families, but she smiled and said: "Mrs. should be called the old lady, the grandmother should be called the big lady, and the uncle should be called the big master." Don't worry, you can't make a mistake, remember it. Sister Yinggui, tell us about Miss. ”
"Danyue, Miss's business, where can we know?" The warbler returns to the light road.
Danyue said with envy: "Sister Yinggui, you are a celebrity next to Miss, Miss can't do without you for a day, a few of us, I don't know if there is a blessing to follow Miss." ”
Weiyun on the side hurriedly said: "Yes, Sister Yinggui, Miss is good, it's good for our subordinates, who doesn't want to follow." Danyue, she is also afraid that Miss will not take her. ”
"Miss is a nostalgic person, if she goes home, she will definitely take it with her. If you want me to say, how nice it is to be quiet in this old house. I heard Sister Dongmei say that the old lady of the Jiang Mansion was originally the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she was amazing. ”
Weiyun and Danyue saw that the two of them were better among the six because Dongmei and Yinggui took them with them, so the three of them lived in the same room. The rest of the moss, light flocculent, Fangxin, and sycamore live next door.
Wei Yun thought of the old lady's appearance of not being angry and arrogant, and said with some fear: "Let's avoid it when we go back." ”
Dan Yue said thoughtfully: "Weiyun is right, the old lady's eyes only glanced at you lightly, and the cold in her heart rose straight up, and she couldn't even speak." ”
Yinggui sighed deeply: "Who knew that the old lady walked so fast, if it could be two years late, the young lady would not have to go back to Nafu to live a life based on people's faces." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a little silence in the room, and the three of them thought about the future future, and they were in a trance for a moment.
After a while, Wei Yuncai said: "Sister Yinggui, now that the second wife is in charge of the house, she shouldn't treat Miss badly." ”
Yinggui didn't answer yet, but listened to Danyue say: "The second wife is really good-looking, just like she came out of a painting, and she really looks like Miss." The second wife is not only good-looking, but also kind, and when I handed her tea today, she nodded to me and asked my name. ”
Weiyun said with a smile: "Well, I met in the yard that day, and the second wife also asked me what my young lady usually does, what she likes to eat, and she asked carefully, and her voice was good, so soft, I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of startling her." ”
Yinggui smiled: "You two maids, it's really useless." Sister Dongmei said that the second wife is the most amiable person, so we don't have to be afraid. It's that Aunt Zhou, we have to guard against it, Miss was in her hands before, but she has suffered a big loss. ”
As soon as Aunt Zhou was mentioned, Danyue's face became a little gloomy, and she sneered: "Sister Yinggui, I see, Aunt Zhou looked at our second wife and young lady with the wrong eyes, spewing fire." Don't you have to be careful? ”
Weiyun sneered: "You don't understand this, she, she is jealous that our wife is better than her, and our young lady is better than the third lady." ”
Yinggui scolded with a smile: "Little hoof, you can't talk nonsense, beware of being heard, you will cause trouble." ”
Danyue hurriedly said: "Sister Yinggui, don't be afraid, let's talk in private, who can hear it?" It's not good-looking, but I'm not the only one who said it, they all have eyes. Aunt Zhou was arrogant, and when she saw the eldest wife and the second wife, she didn't salute, and passed with her eyes squinted. The third lady didn't say hello to her mother-in-law, and she didn't have any rules at all, she was really angry. ”
Yinggui sneered: "Why didn't I see it? The mother and daughter are equally unruly. You didn't see the big lady's angry face, white for a while, red for a while, and all the cold air coming out of her nose was it, but our second wife was like a nobody. ”
Danyue echoed continuously: "Isn't it just relying on the old lady, what's the big deal?" Be mad like that, beware of retribution. The third lady brought her tea, her face was unhappy, and she said, 'In such a broken place, there is nothing to want, even if you drink tea, you can drink an earthy smell.' ’”
The light moon painted a voice and learned the third lady to speak, and learned it vividly, making the two people in the room laugh.
