Chapter 312: Three Joys (1)
ο»Ώ
Peony looked at Jiang Chong in embarrassment, she didn't expect Jiang Chong to come to pick her up in person. Who would have thought that Zhu Guogong, who had always looked at her unpleasantly, always felt that she was climbing high, and hindered Jiang Changyang's future, would one day personally bring a carriage to pick her up? Whether it was because of the unformed fetus in her womb, who didn't know male or female, or because Jiang Chong felt that he had no hope at all and wanted to buy the heart of Jiang Changyang, the eldest son who was still a little promising, he was so grand, it was really not good to fight casually.
Jiang Changyang was okay to say, but he was not there, she had to go into battle by herself. Peony thought about it, so she had to use the procrastination trick: "Father, my daughter-in-law has a lot of things to pack, it's already late, and the house has not been properly settled, it's too late, why don't I come over early with Chengfeng tomorrow, what do you think?" β
Jiang Chong said lightly with an expression that he had already seen through her and didn't want to go back: "There is everything at home." But just go for a day or two, not far away, you can find something at any time, very convenient. Even if you don't have it at home, just let someone send it over tomorrow. β
Peony laughed dryly: "You are right, but Da Lang went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to enter the palace, and now he has not seen him back, and there is no news at all." The daughter-in-law was very worried about it, and she didn't have the heart to do anything else. β
Jiang Zhong screwed up with her: "Then you should go with me, I will send someone to wait outside the palace, and I will send it back as soon as there is news, and let him go home directly when I see him." β
"That's not necessary, it's already waiting for someone." Peony was extremely helpless, and Lin's mother hinted that she pretended to be happy with morning sickness, but Peony did not take Lin's mother's suggestion. What's the use of it? Jiang Chongtie was determined to let them pass, and when he saw this, he would definitely say that Jiang Yunqing and the others could take care of her, so it was better to take this opportunity to fight for some benefits for themselves. So he said: "Don't hide it from my father, my daughter-in-law hasn't been able to eat much in the past two days, and she only likes to eat a few porridge dishes made by Mother Lin." In the past, I was afraid of causing trouble in the kitchen. β
Jiang Chong's expression suddenly became ugly, wasn't it just to guard against the other people in the mansion? To talk about this, there has never been such an ugly thing in the house, and the biggest trouble is nothing more than Mrs. Du's calculation of Jiang Changyang's unfilial piety, and there has really been no such thing as killing people in person. Dalang's daughter-in-law really came out of the Liu family, and her thoughts were too many and complicated.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Peony only continued to pretend to be confused: "The third brother's marriage is a big deal, and Chengfeng has to go no matter what." I also want to go, but I'm afraid that I won't have three meals a day and cause trouble to my family. β
Jiang Zhong gritted his teeth, held back his unpleasantness, and said: "In that case, let people have a temporary xiao kitchen in Yingxue Hall, what you want to eat, let the people around you do it when you want to eat." That's okay, right? In the final analysis, he was afraid that Jiang Changyang and Peony would find all kinds of excuses to be absent temporarily. Now that the Guogong Mansion is declining, if Jiang Changyang is missing to support the faΓ§ade, I am afraid that the scene will be so cold that it will be a shame.
Peony also responded unceremoniously, although she asked Mother Lin to clean up her things, she still insisted on waiting for Jiang Changyang to come back. Jiang Zhong endured so much that the green tendons on his neck rose, but he could only endure it. The two waited until three o'clock, and they still didn't hear anything, not to mention that Peony was anxious, and Jiang Zhong was also worried.
As soon as he contacted the past and the aftermath, he suddenly felt that the emperor was uneasy and kind to let Jiang Changyang do this errand. If the emperor really hated him because of the matter of Epiphany, then he would not even be treated with Jiang Changyang, all the favor was probably superficial, otherwise how could he just let Jiang Changyang do this errand? Look at King Min's arrogant and vicious appearance, would the emperor really not know? He didn't believe it, but he didn't see that King Min had been punished, he was still the same aggressive, and he didn't see any restraint, so it can be seen that his guess is really reasonable. The more Jiang Chong thought about it, the more he felt frightened, and the more he thought about it, the more restless he became-if Jiang Changyang was caught in the wrong place, the next one would be the Guogong Mansion.
He stood up and ordered Peony: "Daughter-in-law of Dalang, go back with me." "Now I have to let Peony go back to the mansion with him first, which is the best. If something happens, it's better than her being alone outside the house.
Peony didn't know what he was thinking, and pushed: "I'll wait for Da Lang to come back." β
Jiang was furious: "Do you dare not listen to my words? Do you know what filial piety is? β
But I heard Jiang Changyang's voice sounding coldly at the door: "Grandpa Guo is here?" Why don't you let someone say it in advance, and your son is waiting at home. "It's so majestic, I'm going to his house to play majestic.
Jiang Zhong saw that Jiang Changyang was intact and brightly dressed, and the tense nerves were finally relaxed, but his face was extremely ugly: "Tomorrow is your third brother's day, and I will personally pick you up." He bites the word "personally" heavily, whose father will personally pick up his unfilial son and daughter-in-law? It's just him. If he hadn't thought about being afraid of encountering some mad cow or crazy horse, he wouldn't have been impatient.
Jiang Changyang said lightly: "Isn't it tomorrow?" I remembered, and I would go when the time came. As he spoke, he took the tea soup handed by the peony and drank it all, and drank one cup and another cup. Peony guessed that he was afraid that he hadn't drunk water for a day, so he asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry?" β
Jiang Changyang nodded, grabbed the pastry next to him and fed it to his mouth, the pastry was the salt and pepper flavor that Peony specially made for him, and it was smooth to eat. So the irritability caused by hunger was gradually suppressed.
He was comfortable, but Jiang Zhong was not comfortable. Jiang thought that he had been anxious for him for a long time, and it was easy to see people, and he didn't see him tell him what had happened. But thinking that when the peony was about to quarrel, it was his father who would be embarrassed in the end, so he endured it and said in a more cold and blunt tone: "Just remember." Your carriage can't be used, so I brought the carriage from the house. Yingxue Hall is also cleaned up, you go back with me immediately. β
Peony saw that Jiang Changyang lowered his eyes and was silent, remembering that he would be irritable when he was hungry, so he asked him in a low voice: "Let someone finish the hot noodle soup for you first." β
"No need, just eat this mat and have dinner later." Jiang Changyang raised his chin slightly and looked at Jiang Chong: "It's okay." It just so happens that I have an errand in my hand, and I will go to the military department in a few days. β
Peony was stunned for a moment, and then turned back to stare at him, is it true? Jiang Chong was also stunned, frowning and looking at Jiang Changyang.
Jiang Changyang said very calmly: "I heard that it is the staff of the Ministry of War. I have already met Zhang Shangshu and the two squires today, and the official appointment will be made in two days. β
Jiang Chongyixi, the staff of the Ministry of War, Shi Langzhong, from the five grades to the upper level, is in charge of the map, the city god, the town, the beacon, the distance of the road to defend against people and the naturalization of the four yi, which is also an important position. Judging from Jiang Changyang's qualifications and merits, it is actually very appropriate to get this position. But then his brows furrowed again: "I remember that the person in this position was Han Shizhao......"
Jiang Changyang interrupted him: "His grandfather is dead, and he has been dismissed from his post without mourning. β
This Han Shizhao is a person from King Min's faction, and it will definitely not be a recent thing to hide his mourning, but it happened that Jiang Changyang happened to have an accident at the pass when he was going to the military department, and Jiang Changyang happened to be on top, so it would definitely not be as simple as accident and coincidence. Jiang Zhong looked at Jiang Changyang in disbelief, Jiang Changyang's expression was faint, and he couldn't see any joy, anger or sorrow.
Jiang Chongqing knew that he would not reveal the slightest reason to himself, so he had to sigh: "I'm afraid that your errand will not be easy to do." "King Min alone is afraid that it will be even crazier.
Jiang Changyang said indifferently: "You don't need to netbsp this; "That errand ......" Jiang Chong looked at himself with mixed feelings, the eldest son who grew up without being around and could be said to be half a stranger. Jiang Changyang's style of acting is completely different from him, and if you want it, you must get it, and this xìng grid is actually very worrying.
Jiang Changyang didn't want to say more, "It's getting late, let's go." Forcefully blocked the second half of Jiang Chong's words in his throat.
After briefly instructing Wu San, the father and son got on their horses in silence, escorted Peony's car, and walked to the Zhuguo Mansion in the twilight.
When I arrived at the Duke of Zhuguo's mansion, someone had already reported it to everyone in the mansion, and it was time for dinner, so everyone went to the old lady's room to eat. Peony didn't want to touch the things on the table, and she didn't want to make it too obvious, so she got up and served the old lady to eat. Seeing this, Mrs. Du secretly sneered, what kind of old thing is that, no matter how much you serve her, don't think about her sincerity.
Jiang Yunqing felt a little sorry for the peony, she was pregnant, and she was very happy, and she had to serve the old lady when she was taken back. Jiang Changyang didn't speak, nor did he eat, just looked at the old lady lightly. The old lady was uncomfortable with him, and she still blocked this breath, so why should she be served by the peony?
Jiang Zhong couldn't stand it, coughed lowly, and said, "Daughter-in-law of Dalang, aren't you in bad health?" If you don't want to eat, just rest on the side, and Mrs. and Yunqing. Then he took the opportunity to announce Jiang Changyang's matter: "Da Lang will go to the Ministry of War in two days. β
Everyone was taken aback, and their thoughts were different, and Mrs. Du seemed to be stunned for a while, and she couldn't react when she sat stupidly. Only Jiang Changyi reacted the fastest, and immediately got up to congratulate Jiang Changyang and proposed to serve some wine.
This news is the best news of the Guogong Mansion in the turmoil, the old lady picked her eyelids and let go of the peony: "You are not in good health, don't toss." Whatever you want to eat, let the kitchen make it for you. β
Peony said softly: "There are a lot of things at home, and the kitchen has to prepare tomorrow's banquet, so I'll ask Mother Lin to make something for me alone." The implication is to open the xiaozao.
Jiang Chong also remembered what he had promised the peony, so he instructed Mrs. Du: "Let people send a few stoves and a few baskets of good charcoal to Yingxue Hall." Tell the cooks what ingredients they want, just supply. β
There is only the old lady in this house, and she doesn't have a nongxiao kitchen herself, Mrs. Du was furious for a while, and she was indignant, but there was a faint smile on her face: "Okay." β
