Qiao shook his head, it was true.

"That's it, I made someone probe her privacy, and asked her face to face, why isn't she annoyed?"

Qiao said: "Is it because my mother promised to help her?" ”

Miao thought that this time he was to the point. "Yes, that's right, if I can't help her, just a few words of comfort, she won't feel comfortable, and she won't cry like this. Do you know why? ”

Qiao Shi thought about it again and again, and guessed: "I guess I will be annoyed and angry." ”

Miao high-fived and said, "That's right. What mother-in-law's identity, when the identity of the family, to put it bluntly, can't suppress her resentment, but help will, because she needs it. Therefore, today's incident is to teach you two things: one is to have your own opinions and minds, and the Lord makes your people very likely to turn around and betray you; Second, before you expose other people's privacy, make sure that you have the ability to help the other person and that the other party needs your help, otherwise you will get a grudge. Do you understand? ”

Qiao Shi knew that Miao's intentions were good, so he stood up and squatted down and said, "My daughter-in-law has been taught." ”

"Well, you should go down first today, and think about how to make up for the Yao family's trust in you."

Qiao's salute and left, returned to the courtyard and frowned and thought hard, she already knew that Miao was teaching herself by hand, and she wanted to live up to expectations, so she began to recall Yao's every move. In the end, I found out that Yao was actually a rectum, which was very refreshing.

Immediately, I went to cook some pastries and carried them to Yao's yard in person.

Yao's cried, she was a little embarrassed, to be honest, she didn't really want to see Qiao's, but Qiao's was a sister-in-law, so she cheered up to greet her.

Qiao took the initiative to take her hand and said, "I, I'm here to apologize to my younger siblings, this is a dim sum made by myself, don't dislike my younger siblings." ”

Yao's saw Qiao's unprecedented refreshment, and thought that she was going to imply that she was innocent, but this was in line with her taste, so she took the food box and looked at it, sure enough, it was not the craftsmanship of the kitchen, knowing that this sister-in-law was really attentive, the unhappiness in her heart also dissipated, and she feigned anger: "Sister-in-law is so calculating, such a plate of snacks sent me?" I cried because of my sister-in-law! ”

Qiao Shi saw that Yao Shi was not angry, and immediately nodded her forehead and said, "Look at your gluttony, if it weren't for my sister-in-law's bad skills, I would like to make you snacks every day!" ”

Yao smiled, and then dragged Qiao to the house without mentioning it.

After Miao learned about it, she was very pleased, she had to use different ways for different people, Yao likes to be cheerful and neat, if she does this, even if she doesn't agree, she will feel more comfortable, and she is willing to seriously consider the other party's position, Qiao's did not follow her own character This time she did not hint or cry silently according to her own character.

Miao sighed deeply, he was really a hard worker. At that moment, he asked Wang's mother to notify the stewards everywhere and secretly investigate the whereabouts of Aunt Chen's brother.

Then she suddenly remembered the son who saved Yunping that day, so she came to Jiang Haizhong for questioning.

Jiang Haizhong said: "Cao Gongzi's son has already been there, he is a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, because his hometown is remote, so he traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers in the morning, and met the tide of displaced people through Qinghe Mansion, and he didn't dare to go on the road alone, so he was delayed for a few days, and now he is already on the way to Beijing." The son gave a thank-you gift, but he refused to accept gold and silver, but only some pen and ink books. ”

Miao nodded and didn't speak, Jiang Haizhong coughed and added, "Uh, eldest sister...... Later, his son sent a set of cotton clothes to Cao Gongzi, and Cao Gongzi accepted it. ”

Miao Shi showed a smile and said, "You should have the contact information of Gongzi Cao." ”

Jiang Haizhong also smiled: "Even if you don't mention that he saved the eldest sister, even his character is worth intersecting, and his son has exchanged mutual identities and addresses with him, and even his contact information in the capital has been recorded." ”

"That's fine, let's get along first."

Then he said: "Since it is almost the first month, then the matter between Yunping and the Zhang family should also be over, while it is not busy, your brothers should go on a trip." ”

"Yes, Mother."

After Jiang Haizhong retreated, Miao went to Jiang Yunping's courtyard and told her about this arrangement, and Jiang Yunping thanked Miao very plainly.

Seeing that she was still calm, Miao was relieved and left.

After sending the Miao family away, Jiang Yunping sat down on the chair at this time, and her heart was still fluttering, she was still a little scared in her heart for the Zhang family who had given her nightmares for more than ten years, but this time she didn't have to come forward by herself, she only needed to hide in her mother's house and let the two younger brothers come out to be free, she was very relieved.

After saying the word, Jiang Haizhong went to Jiang Hezhong, and the two brothers discussed it and decided to set off in the afternoon. The two took a few small servants and rode fast horses for half a day to arrive at Zhang's house, but they didn't go in, but found an inn to stay, contacted the son of the head of the Zhang family, and the three of them conspired, and asked the patriarch to go to Zhang's house on the second day.

The Zhang family naturally will not agree to the divorce, because the divorce will return the dowry, but the Jiang Hezhong brothers are resolute, and the patriarch is also on the side to help, Zhang Guang accepted the wife without the consent of the Jiang family, even if it does not violate the law, it is unreasonable, and then the yamen talks about the law, the clan talks about the clan rules, and the biggest guarantee of the clan rules is money. The Jiang family was willing to invest, and the patriarch of the Zhang family had long been rich, how could he favor Zhang Guang, so he almost semi-forcibly let the Zhang family agree to the conditions and invited the clan elder to write a letter of release of his wife, promising to return all the dowry, Zhang Guang did not come out, and asked to pay Jiang Yunping's meal money in the Zhang family for more than ten years. The brothers in Jiang Haizhong were speechless, and even the patriarch of the Zhang family felt that his face was gloomy. Fortunately, the Jiang family is generous, and the current silver is not pursued, as long as the shop and some jewelry items are returned. Rao is so, except for the shop, which only took back fifty percent in the end. Jiang Haizhong hated the Zhang family for treating the eldest sister badly, so he forced Zhang Guang to sign an IOU of 10,000 taels.

The two took Jiang Yunping's dowry and the deed of the shop and the IOU back to the Jiang family, Miao sighed when he saw it, only when he saw the IOU, he was relieved, and said to Jiang Haizhong: "Among these things, this one is the most useful, didn't I worry that they would go back to Hezhilan, as long as they came to ask for someone, we would ask for money immediately!" ”

When Jiang Haizhong and the others heard that there was such a method, they immediately became happy, and Jiang Yunping said embarrassedly: "In this way, won't the Zhang family pay back." ”

Miao said with a smile: "We don't care about this 10,000 taels, but the Zhang family will never be able to take it out." So as long as the IOU is in hand, the two children can be safe. This idea is worth the money! ”

Jiang Yunping suddenly became happy, and the mountain that was pressing on her heart finally moved away.

She stood up and kowtowed respectfully to Miao, and saluted her two younger brothers, who hurriedly avoided her.

"Now that you have resumed being single, you must live a better life." Miao's words are serious.

Jiang Yunping had tears in his eyes and nodded vigorously.

Miao interrupted: "Okay, put away the tears, now hurry back to the room and count the dowry!" ”

Jiang Yunping burst into tears and laughed, and said: "Mother joked about her daughter, these dowries were purchased by the mother for her daughter, and now the daughter wants to live at home permanently, and the dowry will ......."

Miao interrupted her and said, "Since it is your dowry, it will always be there, and you will need it next time you get married." ”

Jiang Yunping froze, Jiang Haizhong was inexplicable, only Jiang Haizhong smiled slightly.

"Alright, let's all disperse." Miao doesn't say much, everything is just an expectation now, let's see how things develop in the future.

Three people retired.

Mother Wang came over and said a few words in Miao's ear, and Miao frowned and said, "Is that really the case?" ”

Mother Wang nodded and said, "I hope it's the slave and maid who are too careful." ”

Miao said: "Your eyesight is still ...... Not bad. ”

In fact, the Miao family planned to let Jiang Yunping remarry from the beginning, and now there is no problem with her identity, she is also ready to look for a candidate, Cao Gongzi, who saved Jiang Yunping, is one of the candidates, but this is more difficult, firstly, because Cao Gongzi did not marry a wife, there is only a widow in the family, and he is bent on letting him participate in the scientific examination as an official, and eighty percent will not let him marry a divorced woman with children, and Yunping is three years older than him; The second is that if Cao Gongzi is really in high school, Yunping's identity is even more inappropriate, but it is really inauthentic to expect Cao Gongzi to fall off the list. But Miao's idea is because Cao Gongzi has a good character, and Jiang Yunping seems to be very attentive to him. Miao believes that no matter how he thinks about it, he must first follow Jiang Yunping's intentions.

But now......

What Wang's mother said was Dr. Kang, after he showed Jiang Yunping's feet, he would go for a re-examination every three or five days, even if Jiang Yunping was no longer able to walk, Dr. Kang still came over every few days to have a look, and said something that he had not fully recovered and needed to recuperate.

As far as Miao knows, Dr. Kang is not such a enthusiastic person, even the Jiang family is a family member, Dr. Kang will not come if he can, and when he comes, he will keep a straight face, and leave immediately after seeing the doctor and prescribing medicine.

What Wang's mother is worried about is true.

"Inquire more." Miao said, Wang's mother immediately understood, and went down to find out everything about Dr. Kang.

"Doctor Kang, although he is a widower, he is three years older than Yunping, which is just right. There are no children under his knees, his medical skills are superb, and he is relatively polite. It's actually a good candidate, but it's a pity that I don't know if Yunping is really interested in Cao Gongzi. Miao sighed. The women of this era, whether they are boudoir ladies or deep house women, have an inexplicable affection and respect for seemingly upright scholars, especially how approachable and dignified this person is...... Even more so. I hope Jiang Yunping doesn't fall in love with Cao Gongzi like this.

In Qiu Ju Yuan, Jiang Yunping took the dowry list brought back by Yahuan and was silent for a long time.

Finally, she took a deep breath and began to sort out her dowry, the shop had been recovered, but from the shopkeeper to the guys needed to be re-employed, although the inventory in the shop was kept, but the income was not ideal. Three of the five shops were lost, and only two remained, but she felt no heartache at all at the thought that the lost shops and silver had been exchanged for the freedom of her daughters. A box of jewelry, two boxes of clothing and fur, and large pieces of furniture have all been used by their Zhang family, and even the pulling bed in his room was given by Zhang Guang to the woman in the second room, and Jiang Haizhong was the master and left. Two boxes of calligraphy and painting antiques, two boxes of jade ornaments or something, and some furniture that has not been used have also been moved back, and the silver is gone, only two large boxes of clothes are left, because Zhang Guangxin's second room is taller than Jiang Yunping, so these two boxes of clothes have not been moved, although they are his own clothes, but Jiang Yunping has not seen them for many years, they are all locked in the warehouse, and several valuable furs have been sold.

Jiang Yunping knew that it was not easy to recover these, there were many jewels in which Jiang Yunping remembered that he had been deceived by Zhang Guang and given to that woman, and now that he had recovered it, presumably that woman would make Zhang Guang very uncomfortable for a while.

It is true, the woman didn't expect that Zhang Guang's wealth actually relied on his wife, and the jewelry she loved was all picked up by the mother-in-law brought by the patriarch, leaving only some gold and silver jewelry that was not very valuable, even though she was splashing and rolling in the back house, she didn't dare to target the patriarch of the Zhang family, so she had to wait for Zhang Guang to return to the house at night, and began to tear up, the gentleness and pettiness of weekdays were completely gone, Zhang Guang was caught a few times on his face, and finally he was in a hurry, and gave the woman a backhand slap and flicked her sleeves and went out.

Jiang Yunping, who had been wearing the jewelry worn by that woman, planned to take it out and sell it, or rebuild it, so he tossed and tossed until midnight to divide all the things. The big things were put away in the cross-courtyard wing, and the other supplies were picked up in good condition and added to the children and their own rooms, and some rewards were given to the people in the courtyard. There were not many gold, silver and jewelry, so they were locked in a cabinet in their room.

The next day, she picked out a few gifts from the dowry and gave them to Qiao and Yao. As for Miao's place, she made a forehead wipe, and Miao pinched it in her hand and looked very good, but Miao thought that she could only use it when she was old. After thanking Jiang Yunping, it took a long time to remember that he was fifty years old! She couldn't help but sigh: "The years are urging people to get old!" ”

Wang's mother is inexplicable, Miao's maintenance is not ordinarily meticulous, and the effect is also very significant, fifty years old is like a thirty-something, still think she is old?

Mother Wang pinched her wrinkled face at the bronze mirror, looked at the tender Miao, and glared at her dissatisfied.

A few days later, Xiu'er got married, and Wang's mother got busy.

At the beginning of February, Wang's mother took Xu Tu and Xiu'er to Zhuangzi to reunite with their families, and even took Xiu'er and Xu Tu to enjoy a 20-day vacation.

Wang's mother's children were very satisfied with her godson, and they gave them meeting gifts.

Xu Tu's head was red, and he also saw the legendary nephew who was going to take the Xiucai exam, he blushed and couldn't speak, but Xiu'er took out the embroidered bookbag and sent it over to relieve the siege.

Mother Wang was very happy, and she looked at her old man a lot more pleasing to the eye.

When I came back, I was still following Xiu'er and the two of them.

Wang's mother personally sent Xu Tu to the second manager, and kept telling him to call, the second manager had a smile on his face, and said: "How can it, Xu Tu is a good boy, we all have to reuse it, where can he be used for general work, mother rest assured, I have the most suitable job for him here, the uncle next to the long follower got married a few days ago, asked for leave, I am worried, where to find an honest, reliable and reliable long follower to the uncle, this mother you will send over!" ”

Mother Wang laughed when she heard this, and a heavy purse was stuffed into the palm of the second manager, and said, "This child is honest, I want you to mention more." ”

The second manager smiled: "This is nature, this is nature!" ”

No matter how nervous Xu Tu was, he knew that his godmother had found the best job for herself, and she was even more respectful at the moment.

No matter how hot others are, this errand still falls on Xu Tu. Even Jiang Haizhong himself has no opinion, and he treats Xu Tu very kindly.

The six sons of Changsu, who were forced to take leave because they married their wives, were very aggrieved, and the time for leave had already passed. But the second housekeeper insisted that he would extend his vacation in order to let him enjoy his newlywed life.

The sixth son asked: "Then when will I be able to cancel the leave!" ”

The second manager looked at the sky and said idly: "You can take a vacation at any time, there is a lack of feed in the stable, do you want to go?" ”

After all, the sixth son had been a long-term follower to Jiang Haizhong, and knew that if he didn't do this, he would have no errand, so he had to go with a bitter face.

The second housekeeper looked at his back and took a sip: "In the past, when I was a long-term follower, that eye was above the top, I just married a widow, and I dared to ask the uncle for a month off, no wonder the uncle pulled his face and asked me to find a new person!" Hmph, you deserve it! ”

It is said that Jiang Yunping asked for some of the dowry in order to succeed in peace, so he invited a treat, Miao saw that she was very interested, so he gave her the water pavilion in the garden to arrange the female dependents, and the male guests were arranged in the big flower hall in the outer courtyard.

I have to mention that Dr. Kang came to visit again, Jiang Yunping politely said to stay for dinner, and Dr. Kang really stayed, and chatted with a few people in Jiang Haizhong during the banquet, but the brothers were baffled, because Dr. Kang has not been treating everyone in the Jiang family for a year or two, and they all know his temperament.

Jiang Yunping is not as many women as girls, and she naturally wants to come over to toast in order to thank her family for the banquet she organized, she is the eldest girl in the three generations of the Jiang family, but more than half of them have to return the gift, so the toast is also lively. When he arrived at Dr. Kang, Jiang Yunping thanked him for his dedication and skill, and Dr. Kang was drunk, but he still replied with a half-salute: "The eldest lady doesn't have to be polite, but the eldest lady should remember to drink less, don't drink this cup, and do it in the next day." ”

When he said this, Jiang Yunping blushed and didn't make a sound, and he couldn't drink the wine, so he had to nod his head and thank him, and hurriedly avoided it.

Dr. Kang didn't think anything was wrong, and sat down.

It stands to reason that the tradition of Qinghe Mansion is that the woman who returns home after marriage is called a lady whether she is widowed or divorced or divorced, which is different from the unmarried woman in the family, but the ranking is still according to the previous ranking, so it is correct for Dr. Kang to call Jiang Yunping the eldest lady, but this is generally only called so between family members and world friends, and in addition to family members, outsiders will put their surnames on them. Therefore, if Dr. Kang must be called, he should be called Mrs. Jiang.

And he spoke in an orderly manner, not like he was drunk, so the three brothers in the river and Jiang Fengzhong and Jiang Haizhong glanced at each other, and everything was silent.

Miao Shi laughed when he heard this, thinking that this was also Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.
