Chapter 20: The Sad Zhao Family
Sure enough, the old lady didn't care about letting Jiang Yuzhi teach Jiang Yu to learn archery, and only glanced at Jiang Yuzhi lightly and said, "Really?" Even in the academy, everything should still be based on academic progress, and there is no need to talk about useless things next to it. ”
After Jiang Yuzhi answered, there was no follow-up to the matter.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhizhao had no choice but to glance at Jiang Yu sympathetically, saying that he couldn't help either.
Jiang Yu returned to Tangtang in the evening, Yingcui was waiting for her at the door, and when she saw Jiang Yu coming back with her head hanging down like a defeated rooster, she couldn't help but smile and asked Chi Ying: "What's wrong?" It's okay to go out at noon. ”
Akazakura winked at her and motioned for her to come in.
Jiang Yu knew that Chi Ying was inconvenient and didn't dare to say it in front of her, she also felt a little upset, so she went in first, and went to sleep first after washing up under the service of a few little girls.
She tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and simply lay there with her eyes open.
Through the newly replaced twelve brocade embroidered peony spring sleeping screens, the candlelight of the outer warm pavilion faintly came in, and Yingcui and Chi Ying made the shadows of female red under the lamp, which was reflected on the painting screen.
The two of them were gossiping, their voices were extremely thin and soft, and Jiang Yu needed to be very careful to half-listen and half-guess something.
“······· Yes, when the young lady pounced in front of the fourth young master at that time, she was really cute! But it also scared me, seeing the fourth young master staring at the young lady like that, for a moment I really sweated for the young lady. Akazakura's voice sounded a little excited.
Jiang Yu thought silently, about the fact that she touched Jiang Yuzhi and pounced on him today, the entire Jiang Mansion will know about it tomorrow.
She obviously planned to win over and avoid it, but what kind of luck was this?
Another shadow on the screen picked up the embroidery bandage, tilted his head, and seemed to bite off the thread, and then said angrily: "You won't patronize to see the cuteness of the young lady, right?" ”
“······· Yingcui, you guessed it. Chi Sakura smiled low again, and then continued: "I didn't react for a while, but then the second young master helped the young lady up and let her sit down." The second young master is a good brother! ”
“······· Whether it's good or not, it all depends on our sister Yu herself. Yingcui's voice was calm, "We don't need to ask about the rest, it's enough to just serve the good lady." ”
Chi Sakura let out a long sigh and held up her embroidered bandage to Yingcui: "Look, for Miss's belly pocket, is it good to have some stamens here?" I've never been able to embroider that delicate, this color of petals, it's already the limit. ”
"Put it there, I'll come later." Ying Cui smiled.
Chi Sakura leaned over and leaned on her, "Good sister, I'll only tell you this, don't say it - in my selfish heart, I'm very grateful that Miss has an illness, although for this, Sister Moyin has been pushed back, I also know that no matter whether Miss is good or not, we both have to guard her for the rest of our lives, but anyway, Miss is many times more sensible than before, but I see hope." ”
As she spoke, her voice waning down.
When Jiang Yu heard this, her sleepiness almost came up slowly.
She didn't care about what Yingcui said at the end, but she could vaguely hear her hum after a long time.
········································
In the main courtyard of the second room of the Jiang family, because the Zhao family wanted to talk to Jiang Zhizhao for a while, Jiang Zhizhao had a habit of reading books for two hours after dinner every day, so the Zhao family waited outside.
At the second moment of Haizheng, Jiang Zhizhao came out of the study, and saw that his mother was still sitting in the main hall, holding her arms and about to fall asleep, so she hurriedly stepped forward and woke up Zhao.
Because Hongyu had already approved a cloak for Zhao when she was asleep, she didn't feel too cold when she woke up.
The Zhao family ordered the others to retreat, and ordered Hongyu to call the concubine Xiao and the concubine Jiang Zhiyao in the second room.
When only she and Jiang Zhizhao's mother and son were left in the room, Zhao's gaze softened, and there was no hidden scrutiny when dealing with others. "Zhizhao, what books have you warmed today? Isn't it much?"
Jiang Zhizhao knew that his mother was just asking casually and couldn't really understand, but he still talked about the books he read at night very seriously, so as to make Zhao more at ease.
Sure enough, although Zhao looked a little confused, he still listened carefully, never interrupted Jiang Zhizhao, and said with a smile at the end: "My son is really amazing, and it is the most reassuring for my mother." ”
Jiang Zhizhao smiled: "Mother is so late and still doesn't rest, what's so anxious, now let people invite Aunt Xiao and the second sister to come?" ”
When Zhao heard this, his eyes turned a little red, his eyes stared at the candlestick next to him, and a sad sound sounded like crying but not crying came out of his throat.
Jiang Zhizhao noticed that his mother was much haggard compared to before, and he was busy kneeling down in front of Zhao and asking her what was wrong.
Zhao took a deep breath, helped his son up, and then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to his son.
The envelope was written by Mrs. herself, and the signature was his father Jiang Weide, Jiang Zhizhao could probably guess what was written in the letter - he opened it and looked at it, and sure enough.
Father Jiang Weide will rush back before this year, which is a happy event for their mother and son.
But he also said that he would bring a sister back to the Zhao family, and let the Zhao family prepare a courtyard to come out, or if it was too late to prepare, he could live in the east wing with him for a few days, and he would take her to the post as soon as the year passed.
Jiang Zhi looked at the letter, the handwriting on the letter was both strange and familiar.
He doesn't really have much opinion on marrying his aunt, it's always his father, and there's nothing to say.
He was confused for a while, but he couldn't understand the grief and desolation in Zhao's heart now.
But seeing Zhao's tears, Jiang Zhizhao also felt uncomfortable, and he comforted seriously: "Mother pays attention to her body, that is, ······ You still have a child and a younger brother, take good care, your son assures you that the title will be banned, and it is not expected! ”
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhao was so filial, Zhao felt a lot relieved, and couldn't help but promise: "Okay, good, you two brothers are fine, and your mother will be fine······ It's still my son, how can I be like that old immortal, who doesn't come back a few times a year, and ······ when I come back."
Jiang Zhizhao saw that his mother was getting worse and less like the more he talked, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Mother, presumably Aunt Xiao is about to arrive, you can wipe your tears." ”
In the extremely quiet night, the voice of the mother-in-law greeting was also heard at the gate of the courtyard at the same time.
When Zhao heard this, he hurriedly inhaled, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and hurried to let Jiang Zhizhao go to sleep early.
When the second concubine Xiao came in, the Zhao family had almost recovered.
Xiao took his daughter Jiang Zhiyao to bow down, and her posture was as soft as a weak willow in the wind, which was very graceful.
Zhao's eyes were full of impatience, but he smiled stubbornly: "It's so late, my sister hasn't washed yet?" ”
Xiao couldn't help frowning when he heard the sarcasm in her words, and before she could fight back, Zhao said again: "The second master will come back a year ago-"
Xiao originally thought that when she called her so late, there was something important, or someone such as the master would come back, so even if she didn't get the exact news, she still didn't dare to slack off, and the demon Jiaojiao dressed up came.
Hearing this, she was both a little happy and a little disappointed, but Zhao's next sentence made her completely dumbfounded: "I will bring another sister back, and I may be able to compare with you in the middle of the night with her coquettishness." ”
