Chapter 10: The Family Feast
Jiang Weiren explained: "Coincidentally today, Minjiao went to the store in the morning, and met someone from the Yongyu Hou Mansion who came out to buy, and Mrs. Yongyu Hou chatted with her, so she invited her to sit in the mansion by the way, and Zhirou followed. ”
After the eldest lady heard this, her face was full of emotion, and she just asked if she wanted to urge the old lady again.
Zhao glanced at the honest Jiang Weiren, with a clear expression of "gone again" on his face, and then sighed in a long tone, which made Jiang Weiren feel less comfortable for a while, and Jiang Zhiyou blushed and hid behind his father.
The old lady was angry, but she was confused by this high-sounding reason, Luo has always cared less about her husband, but her temperament is indeed high.
It's no wonder that the third child is a businessman, and he looks average, but he married the daughter of a sour and rotten scholar.
I can't complain that people boast of the origin of the daughter of the Guozi Priest Restaurant, and they are arrogant and arrogant, and they never take their husbands and mother-in-laws seriously.
However, Jiang Yu, who knows the truth, can only feel sorry for the third uncle in her heart.
She stayed in this mansion for ten days, and then she heard the little girls in the mansion say three times that Luo went out three times when they were chatting.
Where did it go? It is all Yongyu Marquis Mansion, and every time it is under the banner of dredging the top for the third uncle, and brings a car of gifts.
It's really more diligent than going back to my parents' house.
And the others in this room don't know, but she understands that Marquis Yongyu is just an idle guest in the court, so how can there be any need to dredge?
The kokuko priest wine? In the past, she would not have looked squarely at this kind of petty official who was from the third grade and had no real power.
On the other hand, Jiang Weishan, the uncle of the Jiang family, and Jiang Weide, the second master, although one has five grades and one from the fourth grade, they are both real officials who hold a group of people in their hands, that is, the third master Jiang Weiren, and the business he opened has also had its own control in the south over the years, and has become a word-of-mouth brand.
Do you really think that you can get high branches by climbing the Yongyu Hou family? Rock's is still too confident in himself and too gullible in others.
After a while, the old lady Jiang also came, and everyone was divided into two groups to sit around the round table, and only Jiang Yu followed the old lady to the elder seat.
Old lady Jiang was not very happy, and when she ordered everyone to eat, she was just an errand.
When he saw Jiang Yu, he looked at it carefully for a moment, then nodded, and didn't say anything, Jiang Yu originally planned to talk about stopping the medicine, but after thinking about it, he still lowered his head and ate with vegetables.
The meal was eaten quietly and silently, and it ended quickly.
Seeing that only a small half of the roast pigeon, purple sweet potato and yam puree, fragrant roasted vegetable rolls, money fish maw, and pearl tofu were taken away, Jiang Yu silently touched her stomach, Jiang's family meal was too fast, she was only three or four points full.
The people brought the tea for gargling like water, and when everything was in order, they all withdrew, leaving only a few big girls to wait.
Old lady Jiang announced to everyone the news that he would leave tomorrow, and specially named Jiang Yu's name: "You won't have to send me tomorrow morning, just recuperate, the medicine sent by Liu's mother can't be stopped, and there will be half a month." ”
The second lady laughed softly and quipped: "The old lady really loves the eldest lady, and children of this age are indeed sleepy and can't get up in the morning." ”
Jiang Yu: "······" I could only smile silently, pretending not to understand her voiceover.
But Jiang Zhiyong and the table they were sitting at sneered softly, and Jiang Yu calmly lowered her head and squinted her eyes.
Don't say it's good to see through it······
The second aunt is really a wonderful person, as long as she can speak, she must be indispensable, and for the sake of Mama Lu, a fellow villager, it seems that she feels that she has formed a bond with Jiang Yu.
Jiang Zhiqing, the concubine in her second room, is only seven years old, but he will definitely follow her to see off the old lady tomorrow morning.
Jiang Yu is already nine years old, should she be more pampered than a seven-year-old child? But Jian Jian was really so pampered in the past, and she had nothing to justify.
What else can Jiang Yu say, in order to improve Mrs. Jiang's impression of her, and to get a boost in the capital in the future, even if she hears the ridicule in the second lady's words, she will not really refute her - after all, if she causes trouble like Jian Jian before, she is afraid that she will live a worse life than in her previous life.
No one answered, and the old lady looked at her with low eyebrows, no anger, and no yin and yang weird face, but she was very surprised. This matter passed in the end, but Jiang Yu lost some face.
Seeing this, Old Lady Jiang thought that she had also beaten Jiang Yu, and then she didn't mention it anymore, and then asked about Jiang Weiren's business, and the third uncle smiled and talked about the major events he had encountered recently.
Old Lady Jiang also nodded, and reminded: "Since you have the heart to become big in Guangling, the Anzhi Mansion can appropriately use the name of your father to deal with it." In addition, how are you preparing for the New Year's Ceremony of Weishan and Weide? ”
"Father, rest assured, everything has been prepared, and he is contacting the dart bureau in the past few days, and he will send letters to the eldest and second brothers as soon as they are ready." After Jiang Weiren finished speaking, he seemed to think of one more thing, and asked: "Father, I don't know if the son will go in person over there in the Jin Palace, or will he let the eldest brother send someone there?" ”
Old Lady Jiang was interested and asked, "Hasn't King Jin been in the Ruhe fiefdom?" ”
Old lady Jiang snorted: "The only thing people are talking about is the prince of Jin who lives in the palace of King Jin in the capital, who cares where his son is?" It's just that the emperor values his righteous brother so he gives the royal family name, what kind of king can he do? ”
“······ Our Jiang family ancestors also have the skill of following the dragon, what is the point of going to a prince who doesn't even have hard wings at this time? The old lady was still confused.
Old lady Jiang didn't speak, and looked at Jiang Weiren.
"Mother, that was before, have you forgotten that this prince of the Jin Dynasty still has an identity now, and he is the son-in-law of the saint? Moreover, the eldest brother mentioned in his letter that he had just returned from an unprecedented victory on the banks of the Joux River, and now he was hot and highly regarded by the Holy Master. ”
Old Lady Jiang nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that although Weishan is not in the capital, the news is quite convenient." ”
"This is strange, didn't we receive news some time ago that the princess of King Jin is missing? The saint is still so ignorant-" Before the second lady Zhao finished speaking, she was stopped by the old lady Jiang.
"Alright. Let's stop here today, the old lady will leave early tomorrow, and you all go back and rest. ”
The old lady had no intention of saying any more, and her expression was so secretive that it seemed that the topic could not be touched.
Jiang Yu closed her eyes as she listened, and thought in a daze, it turned out that what everyone couldn't say was the disappearance of the princess.
"Jane? Simple? The old lady looked at Jiang Yu, who was sitting beside her, with a warm expression, "When did this girl fall asleep, but she caught a cold carefully." ”
"Mother, there is one more thing," Jiang Weishan stood up and waited for the eldest lady and the second lady to leave first, and then said slowly: "Yuzhi······ The boy had been kneeling in the ancestral hall for ten days······"
Old Madam Jiang's face became uncertain, "What, shouldn't he kneel?" ”
Jiang Weishan wanted to say more, but Mrs. Jiang waved her hand and decisively asked him to salute back.
Looking at his son's helpless back, Mrs. Jiang also sighed, no one knows his wife better than him, she is right about things, and no one can change it.
"In the end, you also care about the bloodline of King Ning, I heard that he has never married again."
The old lady sneered and did not speak.
Everyone dispersed one after another, but Jiang Yu was placed in the blue yarn cupboard left by Mrs. Jiang because she fell asleep.
This night, she had countless dreams, and in each dream, there was a faint hint of the person's fierce and indifferent eyes, as well as the whistling sound of thousands of feathered arrows that broke through the air.
