、、、、、、、、、、 The sky was only bright, but the house was already full of people. Sitting beside Jiang Changyang, he lowered his eyes and listened to the words of the chief steward outside the curtain to the old lady: "The person has found it, it is in the pond, and it has been fished out, well, few people know." ”

The old lady looked at Mrs. Du, whose face was very ugly and looked very sad, and said lightly: "How did you think of going to the pond to fish?" ”

The chief steward said: "I haven't gone out since I entered the garden, and I found the lantern on the rockery, and I have found it in other places, but I haven't found it in the pond...... I went in a small boat that was digging silt and ...... with a fork and a net."

"Say no more!" The old lady frowned, "Bury the person first, so as to appease his mother." so that I may hear any gossip. ”

Mrs. Du muttered on the side: "Good manner, why did she go to that kind of place in the middle of the night?" ”

The old lady glanced at Peony and said lightly: "Who knows why she suddenly can't think of it?" Don't defile my garden! ”

The chief steward said cautiously, "Something comes out of her." There's an object inside, I'm afraid she's amazing. But maybe it's not necessarily the Lord's reward, I don't know if I should give it to her mother. ”

The old lady frowned and said, "Take it." ”

Who wants to touch the dead man's things? Hong'er stood still, only looking at the green banana, and the green banana endured it for a while, and stepped forward to take the small lacquer plate in the hands of the chief steward.

Peony took a look, and there was a good quality mutton fat white jade Ping An buckle in the lacquer plate, which was tied with a bright red plum blossom knot, and the silk rope had been soaked and faded.

The old lady shrank her neck in disgust and looked back at Mrs. Du: "This is your reward?" ”

Mrs. Du shook her head without hesitation: "No." ”

The old lady looked at everyone else in the room, everyone shook their heads, and finally fell on the peony and did not move, Jiang Changyang said lightly: "To find out where this jade came from, it is actually very simple, quietly take it to the shop outside and listen to it, you can always know something." ”

The old lady retracted her gaze and said lightly, "Let's ask a few people around her first." See what they all know. ”

Mrs. Du wanted to say something, but the old lady was already unhappy: "Why haven't Yi'er and his new daughter-in-law come yet?!" ”

I didn't want to say anything more, so the chief steward saluted, took the tray in the green banana's hand, and withdrew. Walking to the gate of the courtyard, just when Jiang Changyi and Xiao Xuexi arrived, the chief steward hurriedly saluted and greeted: "Male, young lady An." ”

Jiang Changyi nodded, his eyes fell on the lacquer plate, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What is this?" ”

The chief steward glanced at Xiao Xuexi cautiously, and said in a low voice, "It's Baixiang." ”

Jiang Changyi's pupils shrank and waved his hand at the chief steward.

Xiao Xuexi asked Jiang Changyi: "Who is Baixiang?" ”

Jiang Changyi said lightly: "It's the big girl next to Madame." He was a little absent-mindedly helping Xiao Xuexi, and said with a smile: "My grandmother is old and has a bad temper, you have to be magnanimous." ”

Xiao Xuexi pursed her lips and said nothing.

The two walked under the curtain one after the other, only to hear the old lady say angrily: "What a bad luck!" ”

Jiang Zhong said in a low voice: "That's it, maybe it's an accident." ”

When Xiao Xuexi heard this, she immediately got into her spirits, why did she shout bad luck early in the morning? What accident? But I heard a voice like a silver bell beside me say happily: "The young lady and the young lady are here...... Slave and maid, please be a man, young lady Ann, great joy! Then the curtain was raised, and a big girl with a round face and round eyes looked at the two with a smile.

Jiang Changyi kindly introduced: "This is the green banana next to my grandmother. ”

Xiao Xuexi nodded, signaled the grandmother behind her to prepare to see it later, and then tilted her head and entered the house, sweeping over the people in front of her one by one. As usual, the first thing she saw was Jiang Changyang, who was sitting in Jiang Chong's hand, Jiang Changyang was wearing a homely brown-red round-necked robe with a missing crotch, sitting there quietly, his eyes swept her face lightly, and fell on Jiang Changyi beside her, showing a slight smile. And Peony, wearing a lilac-colored robe, with an ultramarine bandeau skirt, a silver clay skirt tied around her waist, and a pair of purple jade hairpins in her hair, sat beside Jiang Changyang with a smile, like a bird.

Xiao Xuexi automatically ignored the peony, looking at Jiang Changyang, she couldn't say what she felt in her heart, she hated Jiang Changyang the most, but he smiled so beautifully. Jiang Changyi pulled her lightly, she came back to her senses, straightened her waist, smiled, gentle and generous, dignified and elegant, and the couple followed Jiang Changyi everywhere and bowed to the old lady.

The old lady still remembered yesterday's events, said a few words without saltiness, and ordered Hong'er to give her a pair of jade hairpins as a meeting gift. The old immortal, what kind of fight? Xiao Xuexi endured.

Jiang Chong was still kind, but the point was how to strictly abide by women's morals, be gentle and dignified, probably because of being a thief, Xiao Xuexi stubbornly heard a lot of targeted sarcasm, and was embarrassed and disgusted for a while.

Mrs. Du didn't have much to say, and smiled and rewarded her with a pair of jade dragonfly red and gold knotted hairpins, which were styles that came out of the palace, and then asked her to open up branches and leaves for the Jiang family as soon as possible. But Xiao Xuexi remembered what her sister-in-law said after she came home the day before yesterday, and thought that this woman would always press on her head and harm Jiang Changyi and herself, so she automatically classified Mrs. Du into the hostile camp. So he smiled and thanked Yingying.

It was Jiang Changyang's turn and Peony's turn, Jiang Changyang only spoke to Jiang Changyi, and Peony only had one sentence: "Congratulations." "There is no coincidence in the gift, it is a pair of beautifully crafted silver and pearl bracelets, which have never crossed the old lady and Mrs. Du, but they can also get their hands on it.

If it was in the past, Xiao Xuexi would only have affection for a little girl like Jiang Yunqing, but she didn't dare not take this sister-in-law seriously, because before going out, Jiang Changyi specially asked her what kind of meeting gift she had prepared for Jiang Yunqing. So she smiled stiffly, said a few kind words to Jiang Yunqing, and gave Jiang Yunqing a pair of hairpins. Jiang Yunqing thanked him steadily, and after congratulating him, he quietly retreated to Peony's side. Xiao Xuexi immediately saw that this aunt liked peony more than her, and she was not convinced at the moment. secretly thought that Jiang Yunqing must have thought that the meeting gift she gave was light, and he didn't know what valuable gifts He Mudan, the daughter of Jia who was full of copper smell. I thought about it later, I had to inquire about it.

But I heard Mrs. Du laugh and said, "There are two other people, you also come to meet them." ”

A sickly and crooked woman with a yellow face and thin muscles who looked much older than Mrs. Du looked at her and smiled flatteringly, and a thin but energetic woman with a scar on her forehead looked at her and smiled in a patterned manner. These two people stood behind Mrs. Du in an orderly manner, wearing on their heads and on their bodies, neither like the lord nor like the subordinates. Xiao Xuexi instantly understood that these were Jiang Chong's two concubines, one of whom was Jiang Changyi's mother-in-law. couldn't help but despise Jiang Chonglai, a dignified prince, there were such two concubines who couldn't be on the stage. Where is it like her father, the concubine who is given away by the family is ten times better than these two.

Mrs. Du pointed to the sick old woman and said, "This is Aunt Line." She has been sick all year round, and she came out to see you today. The flattering smile on Aunt Line's face became even more obvious, and she enthusiastically handed Xiao Xuexi a pair of gold earrings wrapped in embroidered handkerchiefs, and said uneasily: "The young lady is overjoyed." ”

Xiao Xuexi didn't know if this woman was Jiang Changyi's biological mother, but when she saw this, she understood seven or eight points in her heart, endured a salute, and took it. What is a concubine? Especially the concubine who was born as a girl, a pig and a dog-like existence. But she wanted to bow to this man, and she was so uncomfortable. If Jiang Changyi was not a concubine, how could she ......? She heard a soft sigh from deep within herself.

Mrs. Du continued to enthusiastically introduce the woman with a scar on her forehead, but she was full of energy: "This is Aunt Xue's ......" I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she bit the word "snow" heavily, and Xiao Xuexi was excited when she heard it, and then she was resentful. A cheap concubine actually used a name with her. There is something unpleasant on the face.

Aunt Xue didn't see her in a daze, gave her a pair of silver earrings, and said a few words of congratulations, behaving much more generously than Aunt Line. Xiao Xuexi barely endured it, her expression was not good-looking, but it was much better than yesterday, because she knew that the old lady had been staring at her.

When it was time to eat, she sadly found that Peony was sitting still, picking up two chopsticks as if it were the occasion, and then put it down. But she had to wait. What are the rules? She was indignant. Mrs. Du smiled slightly: "Xue Niang." ”

Xiao Xuexi didn't react at all that she was calling her, she just thought she was calling Aunt Xue, until the whole family stared at her, she didn't realize that she was calling her, and she almost didn't blow up her hair, gritted her teeth and smiled: "I'm sorry mother, my daughter-in-law didn't react for a while and called her daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law's family calls the daughter-in-law Xiniang. ”

Mrs. Du nodded: "Oh, I remember. Then he was as good as a stream: "Xi Niang, your sister-in-law is pregnant, you ......" Balabala said a string, anyway, it means that she wants to take care of the peony point, not to compare with the peony...... Xiao Xuexi felt that she was reminding her that she was married to a concubine anytime and anywhere, and she felt extremely sour.

Xiao Xuexi didn't eat anything at all, for no other reason, she was tired and panicked, so angry that she almost didn't go crazy. It was easy to go back to the new house of the two, and she was even impatient to see how the furnishings in the new room were, so she threw off her shoes and climbed onto the bed to fall asleep and sulk. The bridal girl came over and asked her how to clean up the meeting gift given by the Jiang family, she angrily smashed the bracelet given by the peony to the ground, and was about to smash other things, Jiang Changyi walked in, his eyes were like water, and he said gently: "Pick it up." ”

She couldn't even smash it. She held her breath and just didn't pick it up. Or Cailian picked it up empathetically and put it away for her. After Jiang Changyi waved his hand to let the girls out, he walked up to her and said softly: "This doesn't taste good?" Very aggrieved? Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life? ”

Xiao Xuexi raised her eyes to look at him, and shook her head lightly for a long time: "I don't want to spend a day." ”

Jiang Changyi smiled: "Pick lotus, come in with food." ”

The husband and wife had a meal in harmony and drank a few glasses of wine. Before the dishes and chopsticks were put down, I heard rosin whispering outside the curtain: "Duke, Madame is here." ”
