、、、、、、、、、、 Early the next morning, Mrs. Du got up at the first sound of the morning drum as usual, and after freshening up, it was dawning. When I arrived outside the old lady's room, I happened to see Hong'er coming over with hot water, so I asked Hong'er: "Who was there last night?" ”

Hong'er smiled: "It's a slave." ”

Mrs. Du's eyes were like knives, and she carefully measured Hong'er. Hong'er is wearing a willow green Luo shirt today, tied with six goose-yellow Luo skirts, a string of fine beaded flowers on the hanging hairpin, pink skin, willow eyebrows, cherry mouths, and a smile revealing a row of broken rice teeth, which looks very pleasing and harmless, no wonder the old lady chose her......

Mrs. Du couldn't help but secretly sigh that the old lady had chosen the right person and had a good calculation. You need to know that when it comes to appearance, there is no one in this house who can surpass He's, and the pressure can't be suppressed, so it's better to choose an identity and status that is not as good as her, which makes people think it's easy to suppress, and it's quite pleasing to look at, and it's easier to accept. This is all accepted, and it is even more logical to wait for a while to get a distant relative of her mother to be a concubine. But he guarded against her! This is something that Mrs. Du cannot tolerate. Her meat is not eaten for free, and the sweat and toil she pays are not given in vain! Thinking of this, a smile tugged on her lips and looked at Hong'er: "Did the old lady sleep well last night?" ”

Hong'er hesitated for a moment, blushed and said: "Sleep well, but the slave maid ......" Then her eyes turned red, and she whispered quickly: "The slave and maid are only afraid that they will not be blessed to serve the old lady and the lady in the future." ”

Mrs. Du smiled faintly, did not agree, threw down the somewhat uneasy Hong'er, tilted her head and entered, holding a scarf, and serving the old lady diligently to freshen up. The old lady's silver hair, which was nearly four feet long, was opened and spread on the dressing bed, and Mrs. Du praised: "Mother's hair is so good, although it is white, it is still very rich. ”

The old lady smiled: "When I was young, I didn't need a prosthetic bun at all to comb a high bun. Thinking of her youth, she couldn't help sighing, looked at Mrs. Du in the mirror with low eyebrows and said, "I want to measure it with you." ”

Mrs. Du said nonchalantly: "Mother has something to order, why not discuss?" ”

This was said to the old lady's heart, she praised Mrs. Du with a smile, and said in a low voice: "I plan to let Hong'er follow." Originally, a few girls around you were good, but I thought about it carefully and felt that it was inappropriate. You are not his mother, he has grievances, and he will think about more things when he has nothing to do. What I give is different, they can't find anything to say, and if they are not satisfied, they just come at me. ”

Mrs. Du said gratefully: "Mother is really thoughtful. Hong'er, this girl is very good. "To put it in a high-sounding manner, it seems that he cares about himself, but in fact he doesn't want to hold everything in the palm of his hand.

The old lady smiled: "See you at the bride's temple, are you ready to prepare?" What about Houde? Why don't you see him? ”

Mrs. Du's face was a little unpleasant: "He seems to be busy with political affairs recently, and he has been living in the study all the time, and I heard that he doesn't sleep well at night." I asked Aunt An to serve, and he sent him back. The night before, I dropped a cup again, saying that the tea soup was cold, and I beat the waiting servant. "Since the Shangyuan Festival, Jiang Chong has hardly been to her room, even if she doesn't say it, the old lady has a number, it is better to say it directly.

The old lady's face suddenly became gloomy, and she said lightly: "He is a ghost." Then he asked Mrs. Du: "I heard that Yi'er said that Zhong'er has made meritorious contributions?" ”

It seems that another letter from Jiang Changyi played a role. Mrs. Du modestly said, "Yes." But it's just a small work, insignificant. ”

The old lady was in a good mood: "It is worthy of being the grandson of my Jiang family!" Look, I'll just say that he will have a great success after a few years of training in the army. By the way, he comforted Mrs. Du a few words: "You can look at the family affairs for him." ”

Mrs. Du smiled reluctantly. She knows Jiang Changzhong's credit very well, if she wants to wait for Jiang Changzhong to be like Jiang Changyang, she is afraid that it may not be possible to see ten years later. But it's just that she has no retreat, and she has to let her brother go to calculate it for Jiang Changyi.

"What's the hurry! It's never too late for the New Year! Jiang Da strode in, his mood was much better than he usually looked, he saluted the old lady first, sat down and said: "He is just starting now, many people still remember that incident, it is not a good family matter, it is better to celebrate the New Year, as long as he continues to be so motivated, it will be different." ”

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. But it's time to ask. ”

Whatever his mother and mother said, Mrs. Du just responded and said that she would do so. When the old lady got up and went to burn morning incense inside, she said lightly to Jiang Chong: "I just heard that my mother is going to take Hong'er back to Da Lang." If she didn't tell Jiang Chong in advance, there would be trouble later, and Jiang Chong would definitely blame her for watching the joke coldly. Let's talk about it first, it's his mother's business, and it has nothing to do with her.

Jiang Zhong frowned: "Now? Not suitable, right? You didn't persuade her? ”

Mrs. Du sneered slightly: "How could I not persuade you." From last night to this morning, I was scolded. Tell you that you will save yourself from saying that I have a bad heart and want to harm others. ”

Jiang Zhong was silent, got up to look for the old lady, and the mother and the two whispered inside for a long time before they came out calmly. Seeing that it was discussed, no one told Mrs. Du what the result was and what she planned to do. Mrs. Du couldn't help but clench her teeth secretly.

After breakfast, Fang heard that Jiang Changyang and the bride had arrived, and they were waiting outside at this time, wanting to worship the old lady. The old lady raised her eyebrows lightly: "It's not early or late at this time, what are you doing with me?" If you want to worship, wait for the temple to see you, and then talk about it. "But it was given a dismount.

Mrs. Du thought about it and went out to entertain Jiang Changyang and Peony in person: "The old lady is chanting at this moment." Seeing that the auspicious time is about to come, it is not too late to see you at the temple first, and then worship. ”

Although this situation was expected by Jiang Changyang and Peony, Jiang Changyang was still afraid that Peony would be unhappy, so he glanced at Peony comfortingly, Peony smiled, and went straight to the topic: "Then this is the ancestral hall first?" ”

"Yes, I'll send you there first, and your grandmother and father will come later." Mrs. Du affectionately went to pull the peony's hand and praised: "I haven't seen you for two days, but it seems to have changed as if you are a different person. Everyone is wearing this big red, but there are not many who can suppress it. ”

Peony smiled slightly, thanking her for the compliment. In fact, Peony admires Mrs. Du very much, the last time the Shangyuan Festival incident, she obviously didn't listen to Mrs. Du's arrangement, and she teamed up with Jiang Changyang to calculate Mrs. Du. But when Mrs. Du saw her later, she never showed her face, or mentioned that incident, and she naturally showed affection, which was really rare.

Mrs. Du did not see the foreign affectionate and affectionate lead the peony forward, while walking to introduce the surrounding scenery to the peony, to the next person, then called someone to come over to the peony salute, and introduced the situation of the family to the peony to know, than the mother-in-law is more thoughtful and gentle.

When he walked outside the ancestral hall, Fang whispered: "Danniang, I remind you that the old lady wants to reward you with someone today." I persuaded it, but I couldn't persuade it. She is old, and she can't help but act a little aggressively, so don't worry about her later, kindness comes first. ”

Rewarding individuals? Who's going to be rewarded? Peony and Jiang Changyang glanced at each other, and they both had points. Peony couldn't get used to Mrs. Du's two-sided knife, so she deliberately asked Mrs. Du: "May I ask Madam, who does the old lady want to reward us?" How can we be angry with her? ”

Mrs. Du was stunned, she never thought that Peony would ask so clearly, which was very different from their habit of talking only to the point on weekdays. If she wants to tell Peony and Jiang Changyang clearly who they are, how does she know what Jiang Chong and the old lady plan in the end? He refused to elaborate on it at the moment, but smiled meaningfully: "You'll find out later." ”

After a while, everyone arrived, Jiang Chong and Jiang Changyang's father both pretended not to see each other, and went their own way with a straight face, and the temple saw it go smoothly. At this point, the wedding is completely completed, and Peony can be regarded as the wife of the Jiang family officially recognized by the clan.

Coming out of the ancestral hall, Jiang Zhong said with a straight face: "Your grandmother is waiting for you." Have lunch here today and meet the rest of the family. Then he turned and walked forward.

Jiang Changyang was about to tell Peony not to worry about anything later, he had everything for him. saw that Peony raised his eyebrows mischievously at him, and he didn't mean to be depressed at all, so he smiled slightly, and his mood improved.

The old lady looked coldly at Jiang Changyang and Peony in front of her, the beauty was like jade, and it was indeed worthy of her reputation, but she didn't like it when she looked at Peony. If it is according to her nature, she doesn't want to say a word to Peony, but she has something to do, and she can't be satisfied. said with a straight face: "I was originally dissatisfied with this family affair. But since you have been married by the Holy Order, you are my wife of the Jiang family, and I will not treat you lightly. There is just one thing, the people you will deal with in the future are nobles, but they are not ordinary businessmen with the surname Pingtou, I see that your etiquette is a little rusty, and I am afraid that you will lose face if you are not careful. There is a girl next to me, who grew up in front of me since she was a child, who is familiar with etiquette, advances and retreats properly, and is also familiar with these nobles in Beijing. It's best if you have it with you, and if you have something to remind you. ”

This is really deceitful, Peony originally said that he would not be angry about anything in the family. But at this time, after listening to the words of this old pious woman, she couldn't help but be angry, especially when she saw Hong'er being pushed out in a new dress, she was really angry, and she had a countermeasure in an instant. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Changyang had already slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground, stood up with a "bang", and kicked over the stool with a black face, as if he wanted to kill someone.

The old lady suddenly turned white in fright, covered her chest and pointed at Jiang Changyang just gasping for breath.
