At the beginning of November, there had been two snowfalls in the capital, both of which were not big, even though the weather was cold and the snow was difficult to melt, it was only covered with branches and tiles, like a few brushstrokes on the painting scroll.

Chu Yitong, the eighth young lady of the new Jiang family, returned to the room after tea, and saw that her husband Jiang Yadan was colorless, and gently invited him to take a nap in the inner room, and he excused himself not to disturb him, and took the nurse Zhu to the study to speak: "The fourteenth grandson is the son of the Yuan after all, although he is raised by the nineteenth couple, I don't have to worry about it every day, but the things of the New Year's festival cannot be reduced by him." If we have any good things here, we should also bring him a copy, and I will ask my mother to remember this for me. ”

Zhu nodded: "Don't worry, the old slave will ......."

"Call me young lady!" Chu Yitong said very calmly, "You see that the nineteenth brother and sister are also the county lord, don't the people in front of her call her young lady?" Left and right titles, I don't have to make people talk about my body in Cao Ying, and my heart is in Han! ”

Zhu Ne answered-Chu Yitong thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, the fourteenth grandson is not in front of me, but it is okay." The embarrassment is that those concubines have children, although the mother-in-law pointed to the Gu family to raise them, but in addition to the nine grandsons who died young, there are still three sons and three daughters with a total of six children, where can the Gu family be alone? She will come to me in a moment to offer me tea, and if so, how do you say I will answer? ”

"That's the fourth lady's words, if she can't raise it, then change to a concubine who can raise it!" Zhu Zhengse said, "You also know the origin of this Gu clan, not an ordinary person!" The fourth lady didn't take her seriously, that's because the fourth lady's identity means really don't need to take her seriously, so we have to be careful! ”

Chu Yitong frowned slightly and nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly a little maid broke in in a panic: "County Lord!" Oh no! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhu couldn't help but be furious, "What do you have to say, the young lady is married, what are you shouting about!" Is your skin itchy? ”

"Mom, you listened to the servant - something really happened, the Marquis of Jibei fainted!" The little maid argued with a white face, "The old lady is also soft when she hears the news, if it weren't for the nineteenth prince who happened to tell him about the matter, and he was quick to hold on, I'm afraid it would have ...... Now all the houses are rushing to the Jibei Hou Mansion, and the nineteenth young lady Tete sent someone to call our son and the county...... What about the young lady! ”

Chu Yitong's face changed color, and he stood up: "Go back to the room!" Fast! ”

The little maid didn't talk nonsense, Jibei Hou is not good, this is definitely a big deal - especially for Sifang!

After all, after his support for Jiang Tianchi when he passed through the Zhenbei Army, as well as the choice of position on the issue of the Zhenxi Army, both inside and outside thought that the Marquis of Jibei was eccentric. On this eye joint, as the daughter-in-law of the fourth room, if she doesn't care enough, it is a small matter to be poked in the back, so it is a big deal to be caught in other rooms!

Chu Yitong hurriedly returned to the inner room, woke up Jiang Yadan, who was sleeping, and the husband and wife hurriedly changed out of their auspicious clothes and chose a dress suitable for visiting the patient - Qiu Yulan, who was waiting for them to leave together, was already anxious, and he didn't care about saying much after seeing him, so he just said: "Hurry up, everyone else has already gone!" ”

At this time, the Jibei Hou Mansion was already crowded, and the cars outside the gate of the mansion were full of cars, blocking the originally wide streets!

The carriages of the Prince's Mansion were always privileged, and the crowd had to make a way for them to pass.

After entering the door, it was easy to squeeze into the courtyard where the Marquis of Jibei was placed, and the Zhu Zi people who looked at the crows and crows in the corridor were not close no matter what.

"How is my uncle doing now?" So you can only ask the person who came first.

Chu Yitong is a bride, and she hasn't been familiar with her husband's family yet, so it was Qiu Yulan who asked, and explained to them by the way, "The eighth sister-in-law just passed the door, and after learning the news, she changed her clothes and delayed her work, so she only arrived now." ”

She asked about the eleventh young lady Xiao Zhuang, and Xiao Zhuang's face was not very good-looking: "The second uncle brought Dr. Lin in, and he hasn't come out yet." Just now, the sixth uncle came out, and he looked at his expression......" She frowned and didn't continue.

Qiu Yulan's heart tightened: "What can I say?" ”

"It was said that Dr. Lin asked him to go to the warehouse to get a piece of old ginseng."

People who grow up rich and noble more or less know some ways of health preservation, and at this moment, listening to Xiao Zhuang's words, Qiu Yulan, Chu Yitong, and Jiang Yadan glanced at each other, and their faces changed color: People of Jibei Hou's age, ginseng, soup, and tea are all common things, and now Jiang Tianli is specially asked to open the warehouse to get ginseng, which is obviously to use the good ginseng of the previous year - that kind is generally reserved for hanging!

was panicking, and suddenly the door opened, and everyone in the court and under the corridor couldn't care about whispering, and looked at it together!

When they saw that the person who opened the door was actually Qin Guogong, who seemed to be a haggard teenager, everyone felt a chill in their hearts!

Sure enough, Qin Guogong looked around in despair, and said in a low voice: "Everyone...... Please go back first! Let our Jiang family get together! ”

This is obviously to say that the Marquis of Jibei is not successful, and he has to hurry up and explain things to his family, and he has no time to take care of outsiders.

A sigh sounded in the crowd in an instant, and Xue Chang took the lead in expressing his understanding to Qin Guogong, and helped persuade the guests who were not from the Jiang family to disperse.

At this time, Qiu Yulan and the others could finally lean to the front, but no one could open their mouths just looking at Qin Guogong's expression - in the end, it was Qin Guogong himself who broke the deadlock and pointed at Jiang Yadan: "Your little uncle's junior who has spent the most effort in this life is not your sixth uncle, but your father!" Now that your father is in northern Xinjiang, as the eldest son, come in and lead the training on his behalf! ”

Jiang Yadan said cautiously: "Yes!" ”

After he entered, Qin Guogong closed the door.

When the door was opened again, it was the great-great-grandson of the Marquis of Jibei, that is, Jiang Jingzheng, the eldest son of the tenth prince Jiang Yabi.

Except for Mrs. Ou, who had been on the couch from the beginning, and Mrs. Tao was let in as soon as Qin Guogong arrived, no one else was called.

Qiu Yulan's lips trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and quietly rubbed the corners of her eyes: "According to the rules, if the old man doesn't succeed, everyone in his own branch will kneel in front of the couch." Now the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are not allowed in, but the nephews and nephews are all there, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Jibei is still not at ease with the family, and hopes to persuade peace again before dying? ”

Otherwise, even if this will be inferior to men, it is impossible not to let the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law bid farewell to the elders in front of the bed, right?

In the evening of this day, Mrs. Wu Gu Jiang Tianhe staggered into the hospital, everyone was in a heavy mood at the moment, and they didn't pay attention to her at first, but soon found out that it was Queen Xin who supported Mrs. Wugu!

"Why is the queen mother here?" Mi hurriedly caught up with her-Jiang Tianhe ignored her, and Empress Xin said lightly: "My grandfather is sick, and this palace has come to visit from now on!" ”

The queen personally came lightly, or in the name of visiting the queen mother and the emperor, it was naturally impossible for her to wait outside the door. After the news was announced, Jiang Yahong, who had entered with Jiang Tianqiu, came over and opened the door, and greeted Queen Xin in a low voice, Jiang Tianhe took the opportunity to clamp his heel and go in!

The father-in-law is almost gone, the sister-in-law and niece can go in, but his daughter-in-law is left out!

Mi couldn't help biting her lip fiercely, although she also knew that this was because Xin Fubing was the queen, although the imperial power was now declining and the Jiang family was powerful, but the name of the monarch and the minister was in one day, how could it be impossible to sweep the face of the dignified mother of the country! But Jiang Tianhe also stepped forward because of her daughter, so that she couldn't rest assured!

After all: "Since this sister-in-law returned to Beijing this time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find enough trouble!" Now that her father-in-law is about to pass away, she will not come directly, but will be with the queen, I am afraid that the picture is to rely on the queen to come in and talk! I don't believe she has no purpose in doing this, isn't she coming for me and Yinyin? ”

She guessed right.

That night, just after the end of the day, a cry suddenly broke out in the closed door!

Inside, there is the voice of Qin Guogong.

The younger daughters-in-law, who had been guarding outside the door for a day and midnight, were stunned, looking at each other, their faces were in a hurry, but they didn't dare to say anything because they couldn't be sure. After a while, it was still Jiang Yahong who opened the door, and said to Mi Shi while wiping away tears: "Sixth aunt, little uncle...... Go! Auntie tells you to get things ready! ”

The ladies got the letter and covered their sleeves and howled!

Chu Yitong's nurse Zhu Shi cried more sadly than her serious niece and daughter-in-law: "After the young lady finished the tea, the uncle of the husband's family had an accident, and he didn't even stay up that night - this is called how the young lady will behave in the future?" ”

But no one has said such a small thing now, Jibei Hou left too suddenly!

From the time the situation was wrong to the last breath, it didn't take a full day, and no one could have expected it, and naturally there was no way to prepare for the aftermath in advance.

Originally, Mi's ability to do things was only at a normal level, but he was caught off guard, and because his father-in-law was not there before his death, and his sister-in-law, mother and daughter who had a grudge against him, fell down, and he kept thinking about it in his heart, and he was in a trance, either missing this or forgetting that.

Fortunately, after she remembered the mistake, she insisted that she was too sad to make a mistake - in this case, Mrs. Tao sent a message to ask the He family and the Huang family to help preside over the situation, one of these two people has poor ability, the other is young and inexperienced, and they are not capable people, so they have to drag a granddaughter-in-law to help.

Whether it is Chu Yitong, who has been in the door for less than three days, or Qiu Yulan, who has raised three children who have not yet been weaned, they are all supported and turned! No one has the time and mood to mumble.

In the chaos, the filial piety service was finally completed, and the Mi family finished dividing the people present, and with a thought, he sent someone to send a body to Mi Yinyin, who was forcibly sent back to her mother's house, but before the words were ordered, Jiang Tianhe didn't know where to get out, his eyes were red and he had just cried, but his eyes were very sharp: "Sixth sister-in-law, who are you going to send to?" ”

"Give it to my daughter-in-law, she is a granddaughter-in-law, can you wear filial piety when your grandfather dies?" Mi's face changed, and he questioned in a tough tone.

"My father's biggest regret before his death was that his two grandchildren were not around!" Jiang Tianhe sneered, "Forget about Bi'er, he has an errand on his side!" Lan'er was originally in the capital, if you weren't confused and your arms were turned towards your mother's house, why didn't you force him away and tell your father to close his eyes and not see a grandson? ! Father just saw Zheng'er, and regretted that he couldn't see Lan'er's child in this life - you still want to give your precious niece the filial piety of your granddaughter-in-law?! Do you think that if she takes advantage of the chaos to keep her filial piety as a granddaughter-in-law, she can continue to rely on Lan'er?! ”

Mi's pupils contracted suddenly, and he was so angry that he almost screamed: "You...... You, your mother and daughter, ...... "Sure enough, I knew that my mother's father was not good, so I didn't rush over immediately, but I went into the palace and shouted Xin Fubing together, which is not filial piety at all, just to pit the rice family for a ruthless slap!

"Be interesting!" Jiang Tianhe covered his mouth with a handkerchief, as if wiping his tears, but his tone was so cold that he didn't have any emotion, "This is what my father said personally, and the male heirs in the room can hear it clearly!" Are you not convinced, do you dare to make trouble? If you dare to make trouble, even you don't want to stay in this house! ”

Seeing Mi's enduring anger, she sneered and shoved the handkerchief into her sleeve, "Aren't you happy? When my husband and wife were not in Beijing, it was very happy for your aunt and nephew to bully my daughter? It's time for you to taste it! As he spoke, he stopped looking at her face and walked away!

…… Not far away, Qiu Lulan and Jiang Yashuang were talking about the placement of the three children under their knees, and the husband and wife saw this scene from beginning to end, and when they saw that Mi was about to notice, they turned their eyes away: "Uncle really said that?" ”

"The fifth aunt mentioned that the thirteenth brother was not there, and the thirteenth brother is still empty under his knees, and the little uncle sighed." Jiang Yashuang was expressionless, "Forget it, anyway, there is no trouble, let them go!" "He Shuijin is not there, and the backyard of the Jiang family, who is used to enjoying the ability of He Shuijin to take care of his family, although the old and the young are in battle, it is also messy, and he can't care about trivial things at all.

Qiu Yulan also knew this truth, sighed and was about to nod, Jiang Yahong suddenly walked over, glanced at her, and said softly: "Nineteenth brother and sister, let me borrow the nineteenth brother to say a few words?" ”
