Chapter 12: Tension
Compared with the chaos when the Hou Mansion was handled after the sudden death of the Marquis of Jibei, the Jiang family is really in chaos now - although the situation today is not as dangerous as it was during the summer vacation, once the Duke of Qin Guo loses, the Jiang family will definitely be defeated; But the power of the government and the opposition is invincible, which only means that outsiders can't do anything with them, but they have their own scruples when they fight internally:
The big room and the third room are afraid of the military power of the fourth room, especially Jiang Tianchi is currently returning to Beijing in person - who knows how many people he brought and what means he had? I didn't even care about Beihu's attack, was it really to see the last side of Jibei Hou? After all, the man is dead! Maybe it's for them?
After all, Beihu is eyeing him there, even if Qin Guogong doesn't die this time, he can't do anything to Jiang Tianchi for the overall situation, isn't this a chance to give Jiang Tianchi a chance to cut his brothers and nephews as much as he wants!
The fourth room is worried that the big house and the three-room dog will jump off the wall in a hurry - after all, these two rooms are still big in the court, and Jingzhong is the base camp of these two rooms for many years. The manpower and material resources of the four rooms in this capital are far behind, if Qin Guogong really has a good one, these two rooms are afraid of Jiang Tianchi, and while Jiang Tianchi has not returned, they simply take the entire four rooms as hostages?
So Mrs. Tao led Qiu Lulan to see Qin Guogong, and was stopped by Jiang Yashuang who came in a hurry when she was halfway through: "Grandmother, there are many people around my grandfather's side, and my grandson thinks that Lan Lan can't help, so let her go back and watch Lang'er, otherwise she will be arguing with her grandfather when she is crowded there!" ”
After finishing pulling Qiu Yulan and hurried to the wing room of the old lady's courtyard, he saw that the three layers of this place were already full of people, and there were many weapons hidden in the flower beds and pillars, and the atmosphere was solemn, as if facing a great enemy!
Jiang Yashuang dragged his wife into the house where Jiang Jinglang and the other three children were housed, and Zhengse advised: "Stay here and don't go out, unless I or Jiang Tan come to call you!" Don't believe anyone else! ”
It's not just her, after a while, Chu Yitong, Gu Grace, and Jiang Yadan's children were also sent over together - Gu Grace is okay, she has been a princess and a princess, and she has escaped the catastrophe of the He clan being punished by her beauty and scheming, and she can still calmly appease Jiang Jingheng and others at this moment.
Chu Yitong's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't care that he was not familiar with Qiu Yulan, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" It's not that grandfather is not very good? Then we should go over to visit the sick, how can we be called to my grandmother's yard? ”
"There are a lot of people on my grandfather's side, and we can't get a hand when we go." In front of so many people, of course it is difficult for Qiu Yulan to say that our uncle died so suddenly and so quickly, in case my grandfather also dies suddenly, the big house and the third room want to strike first...... Let's take precautions in the fourth room, and when the time comes, we will wait to be prisoners!
So I still used the same rhetoric when Jiang Yashuang intercepted people with Mrs. Tao, "If you go, it will also add chaos, and it will be done if there are nineteen of their brothers to serve." ”
"Then why are you here?" Chu Yitong had just passed the door, although he knew that the relationship between his room and the big room and the third room was not very good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad that as soon as Qin Guogong fell into a coma, the fourth room would start to prevent the poisonous hand over there. I couldn't help but be surprised, "Let's stay in the courtyard, nineteen of their brothers are tired of serving, and they can serve when they go back, right?" ”
"Didn't Lang'er be calculated two days ago? Grandfather is not well, and the family has to revolve around his grandfather, for fear that he will be exploited by the gangsters because of this, so he shouted that we can get together and take care of each other. Qiu Yulan calmly persuaded, "It's just a few days, I think grandfather should be fine soon." Sister-in-law, let's be wronged! ”
Chu Yitong heard that the sleeves had been pulled several times by the nurse Zhu here, although he still couldn't believe that the Jiang family's rooms had been conflicted to the point that they were not sharing the natural calamity and the women and children, but he also borrowed the ladder to go down to the room with interest: "I'm just a little puzzled, what's the grievance about this?" If you can stay with your grandmother for two days, you can still get a touch of your grandmother's blessings! ”
Although Mrs. Tao's courtyard is relatively spacious, it is impossible for the dependents of the four rooms to occupy it all, but borrow a few side rooms to live. So this will naturally have to be squeezed - under Qiu Yulan's hint, Gu Qianna offered to take Jiang Yadan's concubine children to live in other rooms, and not occupy the room where Jiang Jinglang and the three of them were.
After all, Jiang Yadan's concubine children have always had a bad impression of Qiu Yulan, and their biological mother was all given to death by Mrs. Zhuang because of Xiao Tao's marriage, if they are arranged together, they will be angry with Jiang Jingkun, even if someone watches, in the end, it is embarrassing and troublesome, it is better to separate from the beginning to save trouble.
After Gu Qianna got up, she was about to beckon Jiang Jingheng and the others to go with her, but unexpectedly, Miss Eleventh Sun Jiang Huizhu raised her head and asked, "Mother, Aunt Nineteen, I haven't seen my fourteenth brother for a long time, can I play with him?" ”
"An'er is still young, it's easy to get tired of playing now, wait for him to grow up!" Qiu Yulan said with a smile.
Chu Yitong also frowned: "You like children, just play with your fifteenth and sixteenth brothers, don't disturb An'er!" ”
Jiang Huizhu bit her lower lip, showing a clear disappointment on her face, and then left with Gu Qiannu.
When they went out, Chu Yitong coughed dryly and explained: "Zhu'er...... I just want to be intimate with my brother-in-law! She deliberately bit the word "brother-in-law", Qiu Yulan understood, Jiang Huizhu's biological mother Luan Shi forced her subordinates to save her daughter first, which led to the death of Jiang Yadan's eldest son and ninth grandson Jiang Jinghu, and later Luan was ordered to be executed by Mrs. Tao, Jiang Huizhu has no biological mother since then - Luan dared to ignore the life and death of the eldest son for her daughter, it can be seen that as a person, she was very nourishing when Jiang Huizhu was expected, which means that she offended many people!
So after the Luan family passed away, Jiang Huizhu's days can be imagined! Now it is normal for people to hope to improve their situation by currying favor with their younger brother.
However, Qiu Yulan can understand her feelings, but she doesn't plan to give her this opportunity - Qiu Yulan doesn't want Jiang Jingkun to be easily raised under her knees, and she will be dragged into the backyard of Jiang Yadan!
"They are all brothers and sisters, and it is appropriate to be affectionate." Qiu Yulan said with a smile, "But An'er is too young to play with her sisters." ”
Chu Yitong saw that she didn't care, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "What my brother and sister said is that I feel so too." ”
After revealing Jiang Huizhu's careful thoughts, the two of them exchanged a few words, and Chu Yitong said goodbye and went out to his residence to clean up.
Qiu Yulan played with the children - Jiang Jinglang was too young and had just recovered, and now he still eats and sleeps. She is mainly the son of Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Qizheng. Both of them have turned one year old, and now they can walk a few steps on the couch and say a few simple words, and they are more energetic.
"Sister Eighteen is pregnant again, and it seems that she will not be able to come back in the spring of next year." While teasing them, Qiu Yulan said to his subordinates, "If you give birth and confinement in Shazhou, you will always have to wait until the child is older enough to withstand the bumps before you can go on the road - I don't know when?" The nephew has never had a name, so it doesn't look like it. You see, every time I shout 'An'er', my nephew also turns his head to look at him! ”
Qu's mother said: "Do you want a lot of ladies to give their cousins a milk name?" The old slave felt that Her Royal Highness the princess and the concubine would not care. "Anyway, the son who has raised them for so long, and his milk name is not a big name, I really don't like to change it, although Mother Qu has never met Jiang Qizheng and his wife, she thinks that Mrs. Zhuang's biological children should not be so stingy.
"Just call him Fu'er, the title of the eighteenth sister is 'pure blessing', and this word is also auspicious." Qiu Yulan nodded.
Just as he was saying this, someone outside suddenly said, "Fu'er?" I also have the word 'Fu' in my title! ”
Qiu Yulan unexpectedly handed them the rattle that led Jiang Jingkun and Fu'er to fight, and stood up: "Yongfu, why are you here?" ”
It turned out to be the eldest princess of Yongfu - this eldest princess was very close to Jiang Yashuang in her early years, and often sneaked out of the palace to play with this cousin, and she also stayed in the Guogong Mansion or the Jiang family's courtyard. However, since Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yulan met, the number of times she looked for her cousin has greatly decreased. She hadn't even spent the night in the Guogong Mansion in the past two years, and of course it was also due to the fact that she had a new playmate, Obi City.
"My grandfather was sick, and my mother was very worried and sent me over to visit." The eldest princess of Yongfu has purple shirt and fast boots, her outfit is very capable, and her pretty face has a worried look, "It's just that when I went to my grandfather's yard just now, my grandmother said that my grandfather had just fallen asleep after drinking medicine, so I didn't want to go inside and disturb me." I didn't see you over there, but I accompanied my grandmother, and when I heard that you were here, I came to have a look! ”
Before she finished speaking, a person flashed behind her, it was the seventh young lady Zhang of the third room, and said with a flat expression: "I haven't seen An'er, Lang'er and nephew for some days, I wanted to accompany the eldest princess to take a walk, but I happened to hear my younger brother and sister give my nephew a breast name, what a coincidence!" ”
Qiu Yulan frowned slightly: Zhang's is monitoring the eldest princess of Yongfu? Even Yongfu came to be treated like this, and it is no wonder that Jiang Yashuang and Jiang Yadan were not even allowed to visit their families in Qin Guogong's courtyard, for fear of being attacked.
But as if he hadn't noticed anything, he asked with concern, "How is grandfather?" ”
"Dr. Lin said that he was tired for several days, and he was already tired, and he heard that there were changes in northern Xinjiang, and he was impetuous, so there was no big problem." The eldest princess of Yongfu pursed her lips, "I think I can wake up tonight." ”
Zhang also said: "Grandfather's body has always been good. He said lightly, "But it's not me who is my sister-in-law, I said that you are the nineteenth brother and sister, although Lang'er had an accident two days ago, you are a mother who cares about him." But my grandfather is sick, so why should I go to my grandfather's side to say hello, right? ”
Qiu Yulan thought to herself, you really have the face to speak! Just because of your follow-up surveillance of Yongfu, I may not be able to do anything if I go! said: "This can't be helped, the fourteenth sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, even if she comes back, how can she work when she is pregnant?" It's not that I said that the third aunt and the seventh sister-in-law can't be a housekeeper, but when it comes to this way of running a family, the fourteenth sister-in-law is even full of praise for her grandfather, right? ”
Zhang's face darkened when he heard this: Isn't this just saying that Jiang Jinglang's poisoning last time had a lot to do with the incompetence of the three-room housekeeper?
"By the way, Lang'er's current nurse has been replaced by a more well-born family?" Zhang thought for a while, and suddenly said, "My sister-in-law persuaded you earlier, although the people of the small family are honest, they are also stupid!" How can any of our children know the rules? Speaking of which, if it weren't for the two nurses who were too childish this time, Lang'er wouldn't have to suffer this crime! Nineteen brothers and sisters, you are young, it is better to listen to your sisters-in-law more in the future, what do you think? ”
It's good that she doesn't say that, as soon as she says this, Qiu Yulan almost couldn't help but step forward and slap her twice: "He Shuijin is not suspicious now, but it doesn't mean that you are not suspicious in the third room!" You may have a share in the people who harmed my son, and you dare to teach me a lesson about this! ”
"Sister-in-law is right!" Qiu Yulan took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger, and smiled falsely, "It's also that the population in our yard is simple, and it's usually plain, I'm afraid that no one below has seen anything in the world, and I can't hold it down, so I think that the nurse of the small family is more worry-free!" I don't want to be here to get started! Fortunately, this time the nurse was personally selected by Nineteen, and she taught many lessons, so it is impossible to have any more problems. ”
Now it's Zhang's turn to take a deep breath - the population is simple? Usually it's all plain and bland? The people below have never seen the world? Isn't this just showing off that Jiang Yashuang has only guarded you since she got married, and you have the final say in your backyard!
This time, the nurse was personally selected by Nineteen and personally advised? This is even more red. Bare. Show off your husband's attention to your son and his consideration for you! Originally, this mission should have been your duty as a wife, but your husband took the initiative to take over and do it for you!
What about her husband Jiang Yayi? Three days before the death of Jibei Hou, he also carried a Qingqi person into the door!
Not only that, Jiang Yayi is a person who has a new love and does not forget the old love, the old love and the new love you come and go, Zhang's housewife not only gives the He family a hand and makes a scapegoat for the He family, but also has to mediate the round for them, so as not to make Jiang Yayi have a headache by the concubine's quarrel, and feel that the main room is incompetent and can't control the backyard!
Zhang's heart was sour, and he didn't even pay attention to the eldest princess of Yongfu when she proposed to leave, but she was quietly pushed by her subordinates before she woke up, gritted her teeth and shook her hands, and accompanied the eldest princess to leave!
They only left on the front foot, and a guard came over on the back foot to say: "The palace maid in front of the eldest princess just took advantage of the fact that the maid of the seventh young lady was not paying attention, and stuffed this brocade silk into the arms of her subordinates!" ”
