Chapter 75: Mrs. Hou
Jiang Qiao woke up to the gentle sound of insects.
She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and suddenly looked dull.
Something like that happened last night, and she slept so dead?
"Fourth sister-" Jiang Qiao hurriedly looked to the side, and was greatly relieved to find that Jiang seemed to be still sleeping, and after thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and pushed Jiang Yi, "Fourth sister, wake up." ”
Jiang seemed to slowly open his eyes, and his eyes flowed: "Third sister? ”
"It's getting late, get up."
Jiang seemed to get up, and said while sorting out his clothes: "I fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night, and I woke up late." ”
Jiang Qiao was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "I somehow slept so ......"
"It's not surprising that some people can't sleep after the fright, and some people sleep more deeply after being overdrawn."
Is that so?
Jiang Qiao always felt that she was not such a broad-hearted and fat person, and at this moment, when she remembered last night's incident, there was still a shadow lingering in her heart: "Fourth sister, do we really want to continue to live here?" ”
"No, let's go back today."
"Didn't you say—"
"This time and that time." Jiang seemed to approach Jiang Qiao and whispered in her ear, "I've found a way to deal with that beast, and I don't need to stay in the Hou Mansion anymore." ”
Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up, and she wanted to say something, but she swept the door of the room and swallowed it again, and shook Jiang's hand heavily: "That's good, let's say goodbye to her when we see Jiang Qian later!" ”
Jiang seemed to immediately notice the subtle change in Jiang Qiao's attitude towards Jiang Qian.
In the past, although Jiang Qiao and Jiang Qian were not close, they would not call her by their names like now.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. If she dares to stop her, I'll sprinkle it. Jiang Qiao squeezed her eyes at Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Ruwan smiled: "Okay." ”
The two sisters were whispering, and the door curtain of embroidered peony flowers was suddenly lifted, and two maids in Tsing Yi hurriedly entered, holding soft towels, basins and other things and bowed together: "The girls atone for their sins, the maids are late." ”
After a while, Jiang seemed to say lightly: "Don't worry, wait for us to freshen up." ”
After a while of freshening up, one of the maidservants said, "Two girls, please have breakfast with the slave maid and the deceased son." ”
Jiang seemed to look at Jiang Qiao and went to Jiang Qian hand in hand with the maid.
The fifth girl, Jiang Li, and the sixth girl, Jiang Pei, had already arrived one step earlier.
As soon as he saw the two coming in side by side, Jiang Pei said, "The two sisters are so late, I can't help but look for you." ”
After being slapped in the face by Jiang Yi yesterday, Jiang Pei obviously restrained a lot.
Jiang Qiao bent her lips and smiled: "The accommodation arranged by the second sister is too comfortable, and I don't want to sleep." ”
Jiang Pei couldn't help but pout.
The third sister is really thick-skinned, and she can talk about sleeping so openly.
Jiang Qian chuckled: "I'm relieved that my sisters are comfortable, it's rare for you to come, this time you will definitely have to stay with the second sister for a few more days." ”
"Of course, the second sister doesn't go back much on weekdays, and we came to accompany the second sister to relieve boredom." Jiang Pei said flatteringly.
Jiang Qian's eyes didn't sweep to Jiang Pei's side, as if she was looking at Jiang inadvertently.
Jiang Qiao was just about to open his mouth, but Jiang seemed to touch his hand lightly.
Jiang Qiao pursed her lips and temporarily stopped her intention to speak.
"Second sister, shouldn't we say hello to Mrs. Hou today?"
Hearing Jiang seem to say this, Jiang Qiao echoed: "Yes, it was just yesterday, if we don't show up this morning, Mrs. Hou should blame the girl in Bofu for not understanding the rules." ”
Seeing that Jiang Qi and Jiang Qiao both said this, Jiang Qian smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you to come and go over together." ”
"Ah, aren't we too late?" Jiang Qiao frowned.
The fifth girl, Jiang Li, glanced at Jiang Qian, looking a little uneasy.
"It's not too late, Mrs. Hou is lenient, the rule of the Hou Mansion has always been that each room has breakfast before going over."
"That's good." Jiang Qiao looked relieved.
Jiang Qian glanced at the four of them and said with a smile: "Let's eat." ”
Soon the maids rushed in and set up breakfast.
Silver silk rolls, shrimp porridge, xiao long bao, bad whitebait, vinegar fungus and other foods are set on the table, each of which is not much, and it is better to be exquisite.
The sisters had breakfast silently, and Jiang Qian took Jiang Ru and the four of them to Mrs. Changxinghou.
At this time, Mrs. Changxinghou had just had breakfast, listened to the maid's report, and invited a few people to come in.
Jiang Qian asked for peace in a proper manner: "The sisters just came yesterday, and they didn't dare to disturb the mother-in-law's purity, and this morning the daughter-in-law came to ask for peace and brought them here." ”
A gentle voice came: "It's good to be casual a long time ago, and you don't need to talk about these false courtesies." ”
Jiang Pei couldn't help but secretly raise his eyes.
Mrs. Changxinghou is a beautiful woman over forty years old, and at her age, many noble ladies will be blessed, but Mrs. Changxinghou is still a pointed melon seed face, and her body is as slender as a girl, and her demeanor is so soft that she gives people a feeling of sickness and weakness.
Jiang Pei lowered his eyes, very envious.
Mrs. Changxing Hou is good-tempered at first glance, with such a mother-in-law, and a husband like Changxing Hou Shizi, the second sister is really a blessing.
Thinking of Jiang Qian's disapproval of her, Jiang Peiyan's envy turned to jealousy, and said secretly: It's just that she will be reincarnated, if she is born by her mother-in-law, with the noble daughter of Bofu, and her father is from the background of a fourth-grade Beijing official, she may be better married than Jiang Qian.
Mrs. Changxinghou did seem to be a very kind woman, her eyes swept over the Jiang sisters one by one, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, they are all flower-like girls, and they make people happy when they look at them." ”
Next, Mrs. Changxinghou asked the four sisters in a soft voice what their names were, how old they were, and so on, and finally her eyes fell on Jiang Yi: "I have long heard that Miss Jiang Si is a rare beauty, but now I know that rumors are not enough to describe Miss Jiang Si when I see them." ”
Jiang seemed to smile generously: "Mrs. Hou praised it falsely, her appearance was given by her parents, and it had nothing to do with her own efforts, but the younger generation felt that it was not worth mentioning." ”
Mrs. Changxinghou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I didn't expect Miss Jiang Si to be so transparent at such a young age, I really like it in my heart." ”
Jiang Qian raised her eyebrows, and soon said with a smile: "If your mother-in-law doesn't dislike your sisters and disturb your purity, let them stay with you for a few more days." ”
Mrs. Changxinghou laughed: "That's good, I don't know if you children are used to living there?" ”
"The second sister loves us the most, and you are so kind, madam, I think it is more comfortable than living at home." Jiang Pei covered his mouth and smiled.
Jiang Li has never been in the limelight, and she is just obedient and silent on this occasion.
Jiang Qiao suddenly said: "It's our blessing that Madam likes us, but I'm afraid the younger generation can't live in your mansion." ”
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.
Mrs. Changxinghou, who had focused most of her attention on Jiang Qi, looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise, while Jiang Qian had a warning in her eyes.
Jiang Qiao didn't seem to feel any pressure, and gently pulled up her sleeves.
