The old man narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully: "Big husband, why don't you have a wife!" Isn't it a good thing to start a business first and then start a family? ”

"What's good, why didn't you start a business first and then start a family." Mrs. frowned, and replied politely.

I was afraid that the old couple would quarrel again, so I hurriedly interjected: "Master, wife, the third brother is married, do we give gifts according to the previous rules, or ......?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the house returned to calm.

Sir, Mrs. glanced at each other. Years of husband and wife have brought the two to a very tacit understanding.

Mrs. stroked the bun on her head and said with a smile: "Now that you are at home, you are closer to that room, and you can discuss this matter with Yuan Qing." ”

Before Mrs. finished speaking, the old man continued: "It's all a family, and it's the first one of the brothers in the second room to get married. ”

I laughed inwardly. It's all said and done, how can you lose your courtesy?

At the beginning, the father-in-law and mother-in-law offended the second room for the sake of the second sister and the Xiao Mansion. Now I'm smart, I don't come out of anything, I don't take ideas, and the good and bad are pushed to me.

I didn't make a sound, I just looked at the uncle with my eyes.

The uncle hurriedly smiled and said: "The third brother got married this time, I heard that the people invited are all people with heads and faces in the officialdom, if the gift of our big house is light, I am afraid that it will give people a joke." According to his son, he has to prepare heavily. ”

When Mrs. heard the word "heavy", her face became a little ugly. She has always valued money very much. She rejoiced in giving the silver, and if she wanted to take out the silver, it would really kill her.

I smiled and said, "It's time to be prepared." Zichen these years. followed his two uncles to study, and if he really won the move in the future, he was afraid that he would have to have the second uncle and the third brother to help pull him when the time came. ”

Concerned about the future of her grandson, the wife smiled again: "This is also true." This kid is a reading material at first glance. Now I'm working so hard, I'm not afraid of not having a high school time. I'm afraid that it will be more promising than his two uncles at that time. ”

Master, when the uncle heard what his wife said. They all laughed so much that they couldn't see their teeth and no blood. But my heart is slightly bitter.

There are few mothers in the world who don't like their children to be praised by others, and I am no exception. It's just that my son has a few pounds and a few taels, and I know better than anyone else.

My eldest son, Jiang Zichen, is fifteen years old this year. When I was eight years old, I was advised by my grandfather. left him in Beijing to study with the second master of Jiang Fu, and was abandoned for two years for some reason. Two years later, I blushed my face and begged to the door of the second room again, which sent the person to the second master again.

This child's qualifications were mediocre, and he was delayed for two years, and his knowledge was a little insufficient compared to ordinary students of the same age. Fortunately, the second master is strict. The management is tight, and the school exams are taken every day. He studied hard every night, and only then did he make up for the shortcomings.

But to say that he is more talented than his two uncles is absolutely impossible.

The two brothers in the second room, one is smarter than the other, and they are really human spirits.

Not to mention that the third brother is now in the Hanlin Academy, just that little one, he doesn't know how to grow a brain, and he doesn't necessarily work hard, but he even boasts about his knowledge, saying that he has the talent of the champion, and takes the initiative to admit him into his door. My stupid son, how can he compare.

Yuan Qing saw that my face was a little sneering, and knew that I remembered the old things from the past, so he hurriedly interrupted.

In fact, I didn't need him to interrupt, I would have thought about it a long time ago.

Everyone has their own fate, and it is not necessary to take the road of the imperial examination in order to have a career, I want the brother in the fourth sister's house, and he sleeps when he sees the book, and the fourth sister does not follow him as well, and never restricts it. At a young age, the way to make money is a set, and he is really smarter than the elderly. It can be seen that nothing is certain.

Thinking of this, I smiled and said: "I don't want him to be promising, I just want him to understand reason, know right from wrong, and be able to support our big house." ”

I knew that as soon as I said this, my wife must be upset. She has always regarded this eldest grandson as a baby, looking at it everywhere, and she can't wait to be the top student in high school, and only then can she raise her eyebrows when she becomes an official and becomes a knight.

My wife looked at me gloomily, and I didn't see it, and I didn't tell her what I said anyway.

"Yes, yes, yes, Shen is absolutely right!"

Sure enough, Yuan Qing smiled at her mother-in-law while looking at me with her eyes.

"Grandmother, grandmother, I want to eat candy!"

My wife didn't care about saying anything, waved her hand at me and Yuan Qing, and lowered her head to coax the child in her arms.

"My girl wants to eat candy, let's go, grandmother will take you to eat!"

I saw with sharp eyes that my little daughter Ruohe was winking at me with her big black and white eyes, and my heart suddenly softened into a ball of water.

……

I asked the second elder to be safe, Yuan Qing went to the house to do business, and I went back to the room.

There were already three aunts standing in the room, and when they saw me sitting down, they all came up to greet me.

"Good morning, grandma!"

I didn't respond, but smiled indifferently, took the hot tea handed by the next person, blew it, took two sips slowly, slowly put it in my hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of my mouth.

Everything was all right, and I raised my head and my red lips opened lightly.

"Well, let's all sit down!"

The three aunts heard my voice before they dared to sit down in turn.

The one closest to me in pink was Aunt Ming. She was my personal maidservant, and she was very good-looking, and she was loyal to me, so I took her to my aunt. A few years later, when I saw that she had returned to her duty, I gave birth to a daughter. Today, Aunt Ming is an indispensable arm by my side.

"Aunt Ming, in the past two days, Sister Lian'er's cough has gotten better?"

Aunt Ming sat down for half a moment, and said with a smile: "Back to grandma, it's all right, I ate half a bowl of corn soup in one go last night, and I didn't hear a cough at night!" ”

I smiled with relief: "This recipe is the home remedy I got from the fourth sister's house, and it is the most effective way to cure children's cough." Let's let her eat it for a few more days, and the roots will be broken! ”

Aunt Ming's eyes were hot, and there was a little choking in her voice: "Thank you, grandma!" ”

"Our sister Lian'er has a grandmother like grandma, it's really her blessing." It was Aunt Shi who was a little far away from me who spoke.

……

Aunt Shi was wearing a new green jacket, and the plump chest held up the jacket bulgingly. She is the son of the Jiang Mansion, and she was originally the person in front of his wife.

That year, when I was pregnant with my little daughter, my mother-in-law saw that I had a big belly and couldn't wait, for fear of wronging her son, so she was quite considerate and sent the most enchanting Aunt Shi to my hospital. As a daughter-in-law, except for gritting my teeth and accepting it, there is no room for me to refuse.

I remember my mother once told me that what kind of master there is, there is what kind of maid. This is true.

This Aunt Shi, don't look at her good looks, but her brain is simple, as long as you give her good clothes and food, she can't wait to kneel down and lick your toes to live.

I have been in the Jiang Mansion for all these years, if I can't even deal with such a superficial woman, I have been a grandmother for so many years.

Now that she has been in my hospital for several years, she still looks like she can carry it clearly, and she knows that she can rely on it, in addition to pleasing me, she has accepted the heart that she shouldn't have to live in peace.

Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum. Half a year ago, I cut off her decoction to avoid children, and now she is two months pregnant.

She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to tolerate her, so she often told me that it would be a success to be able to give birth to a child in peace and stability in this life.

I only smiled and didn't speak. An aunt raised by a servant girl gave birth to a brother, what can she do? It's all in the palm of my hand.

"Aunt Shi has been fainting and vomiting for the past few days? If you have anything to eat, just send someone to ask for it, a woman's family is the most delicate when she is pregnant, and she can't be wronged. ”

There is no trace of perfunctory meaning in this statement, and it is said sincerely.

I have given birth to four children, the eldest is fifteen, and the youngest is almost four years old, so I naturally know that a woman's pregnancy is a very difficult thing. So in these little things, I never embarrassed my aunt in the room.

Aunt Shi's face was overjoyed, and she said politely: "Grandma, I feel that the cantaloupe brought from Beijing a few days ago is crisp and sweet, and it tastes refreshing." ”

Cantaloupe? She's not stupid. This object can only be paid by the royal family and nobles. If it weren't for the fourth sister thinking about letting the brothers and sisters in the house try it, and asking someone to bring a few, they would have the money and no place to buy it.

As I wished, I saw Aunt Ming's disdainful gaze at me.

I smiled indifferently: "Aunt Shi, there are four in Beijing, except for the old lady and brother and sister, only half of them fell into our room, you have to eat this time, I can't change it." In this way, I have a few taels of good bird's nest here, and you can take it back later. ”

I unceremoniously declined her request. A qualified aunt does not have to be more delicate and compromised, but to know her own identity. What you can eat, what you can wear, what you can't think about, you have to be measured.

When Aunt Shi heard that there was bird's nest, she was as happy as something, and she didn't mention anything else. I looked at her look and sneered slightly.

In fact, I prefer to deal with such people in my heart. Because her mind is very simple, her ** is easy to satisfy. Unlike some people, her mind is hidden very deeply.

Aunt Xiao Zhou is such a person.

……

My gaze fell on the man in blue clothes, and my gaze suddenly turned cold. If I'm not mistaken, she would have been twenty-two this year.

I especially remember that the first time she entered this Jiang Mansion, it was the twenty-eighth year, fresh and tender like a budding lotus flower, both fresh and fragrant, just waiting for someone to pick it.

I saw her standing in front of the old lady for the first time, and for some reason, I didn't feel very comfortable, like something choked in my heart, I couldn't spit it out, I couldn't swallow it, and it was very uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )(..)

( Miss Jiang Si )
