Chapter 35: To each his own mind
Mrs. Zhu seemed to feel that her words were inappropriate, so she quickly stopped. smiled at Lu Man again, "Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law, don't be too careful, I'm talking about the old things of our Jiang family, not Zhan Wei, although Zhan Wei is a small ...... Oh, although he has such a background, he is a good boy with responsibility. ”
Her words were so contrary to her intentions that even she frowned. If it weren't for the fear that the eldest princess and sister-in-law would be unhappy, she wouldn't have told such a lie to a concubine's daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zhu's words were handed to Lu Man's mouth, and Lu Man would be too sorry for himself if he didn't talk about it.
Lu Man wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "People can't choose their background, but they can choose what kind of person they can be." I just got married, and I don't know the old things of the Jiang family, but I know the choice of the third master of my family, he wants to be a person who is filial, loyal, and responsible. He didn't hide it before, but the brothers were too glorious and were covered up. Once you have to go to the front of people, everyone realizes that he is also like the other brothers, very good. ”
not only hit Mrs. Zhu, but also praised Jiang Zhanwei.
Lu Man's words made Mrs. Zhu choke, and then she wanted to say it, but the eldest princess happily answered, "Sister Chen can't let go of those old things." It's been decades, and three of those four have already entered the loess, so what are you talking about them? I think Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law said it well, you can't choose your background, but you can choose to be a person. In fact, as long as the concubine is skilled, he doesn't worry about things that don't belong to him, and he has the ability and ambition, which is also a good thing for the family. Before, the palace thought about it, and when the horse master woke up in the future, the palace would also persuade him. He glanced at Lu Man with satisfaction and said, "The husband sings and the wife follows, both of them are filial and reasonable good children." ”
When the tone of the family is certain, the eldest lady, the third lady, the Han family, and Jiang Ling are again touted for a while.
Especially the third lady, who is very good at talking. She smiled and said, "I just found out that Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law is very good at talking, and she praised both Zhan Wei and other brothers, and our girls are happy to hear it." ”
The second lady's mother-in-law seems to have been wandering in another space, and everything about Jiang Zhanwei's concubine has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't even do anything to save face.
After the meal, everyone got up and left the house, Lu Man still had to go to the room to massage the old horse, but the eldest princess refused, "Zhan Wei is at home today, you go back and take good care of him, and come back tomorrow." ”
Jiang Zhanwei hurriedly said, "Grandfather's body is important, let Lu go and massage grandfather." ”
The eldest princess shook her head and said, "Your grandfather has a massage, and honoring him is not at this time." It's been a long day today, and you're all tired. ”
The third lady joked again, "The mother-in-law feels sorry for her grandson, and she knows that her grandson only returns home for one day every ten years, so it is naturally difficult to snatch the new daughter-in-law away." ”
It's not funny at all.
Someone giggled a few times, and Lu Man didn't even have a dry laugh.
But I heard Jiang Zhanwei say, "The third aunt is ashamed of her nephew." When her nephew was not in the house, if the Lu family was inconsiderate, she asked the elders to teach her more, and never indulge her. After speaking, he bowed down, making it look like he cared about her more and hoped that she would improve.
Everyone laughed again, and Lu Man had goosebumps.
The eldest princess nodded and said, "This is natural, and grandmother also hopes that you two will be okay and don't make any more trouble." Your grandfather woke up and rejoiced. ”
Gong sent the eldest princess back to the main room, and everyone else walked outside.
Coming to the Hanging Flower Gate, everyone sent Mrs. Zhu and Grandma Zhu to the mule cart, and then the female dependents and children went to their respective yards, and Jiang Hou Ye and the third master took Qiu Wuye, Jiang Siye and others to the outer courtyard.
In fact, Jiang Houye really wanted the second master and Jiang Zhanwei to take the initiative to go with them, and there were some things he wanted to ask Jiang Zhanwei. But the second master went back with the second lady, and Jiang Zhanwei led Jiang Zhankui in the direction of Qingfeng Courtyard.
Jiang Houye was a little angry, and snorted, "Looking at his defection to the army and those words this morning, I thought he was bloody, how could he still be like a mother-in-law and mother like the second child." ”
The third old man said with a smile, "Zhan can only go home for one day in the first ten years, and it is reasonable not to worry about my younger siblings." ”
In the mule cart, Grandma Zhu quietly asked Mrs. Zhu, "Third Master Jiang protects the Lu family so much, and he doesn't respond to her at all, is it really for the sick uncle and grandfather?" ”
Old Madam Zhu shook her head, "No!" The more concubines are, the higher their morale is, and the wilting is bad, how can he not care about the embarrassing past of the Lu family. Hmph, Jiang Zhanwei's words are convincing, and he said it so well, most of it is to please the eldest princess and seek some benefits for himself, and also to see how handsome the Lu family is. When the benefits are in hand, and the freshness of the new daughter-in-law has passed, he will not be kept. He gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice, "Little wolf cub, I couldn't even straighten my back, but today I was so powerful." Only my old sister-in-law was kind and was coaxed in by him. ”
Grandma Zhu thought of the bright Lu Man, and said, "Then the Lu family is really stunning, more beautiful than the second cousin when she was young, and Jiang Sanye is willing to let go of his hand?" ”
Old Madam Zhu said, "Men, the most important thing is face. Why is Jiang Lao Er so rare to be in the Lin family? It's not because of how good the Lin family is and how many beautiful women there are, but because of her reputation ......"
The eldest lady, Jiang Ling, and the eldest grandmother Han walked towards the eldest lady's Minghetang together. Jiang Ling held the eldest lady's arm and said suspiciously, "When did the third brother become like this?" He stood there coldly, quite imposing, and it was terrifying. ”
The eldest lady chuckled and said, "Look at your little bit of interest, he is your cousin, although he is not separated, he is also separated from the room, what is there to be afraid of." Besides, just a small military attache from the seventh grade, what kind of storm can be set off. Now your grandmother has listened to all his words because of your grandfather's body, and she relies on the Lu family a lot...... Look at their pride! In fact, whether your grandfather wakes up or not, their life will not be better than before. I didn't wake up, everything was empty. When you wake up, they won't get anything good about your grandfather's attitude towards your concubine? Also, who did the Lu family's ancestor offend......"
Lu Man led Jiang Jiu and followed behind Jiang Zhanwei and Jiang Zhankui. When he arrived at the fork in the road, Jiang Zhanwei stopped and said to Lu Man, "You go back first, I'll take Eighth Brother and Jiu'er back to Qingfeng Courtyard." ”
Jiang Jiu twisted his little body and said, "Don't you invite the third sister-in-law to play in our yard?" Let her have dinner with us. ”
Jiang Zhanwei said gently, "Another day, I have something to talk about with your starling, and you also have to rest, and no one will play with her." ”
Lu Man also smiled, "In the future, Jiu'er must be tired today, go back and rest." ”
Jiang Jiu was indeed sleepy, nodded, and pulled his little hand out of Lu Man's hand and put it into Jiang Zhanwei's big hand.
