Chapter 25: Eavesdropping
Under the introduction of the old lady, Mrs. Dongqu exchanged pleasantries with Chen, Zhao and Luo, and was very kind to Zhao's warmth and cordiality, and talked to her most of the time after she sat down.
And looking at the appearance of Mrs. Dongqu, she often has to think about it for a long time when talking to the Chen family, Jiang Yu still listened to her muttering in her heart, Mrs. Jiang is so serious, and she is dressed plainly (Jiang Yu just wants to laugh when she sees this, I'm afraid that in the eyes of Mrs. Dongqu, it is very simple to wear gold and silver without Minghuang) If Jie'er marries in, how depressed it will be.
Although the old man likes Jiang Zhilang very much, she thinks that the second lady Zhao is cheerful and loves to laugh, and she will definitely be a good mother-in-law, what should I do?
Or wait until their sons come in?
Anyway, her maid can't be wronged.
"Is this Jie'er? It's so watery, it hurts. Mrs. Jiang beckoned Dong Qu Jie to her eyes and took a closer look, and asked Mrs. Dong Qu in a voice: "How old is this year?" ”
Mrs. Dongqu smiled: "It's only fifteen years old. ”
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she glanced at the Chen family meaningfully, nodded at Jiang Zhilan beside the Chen family with a smile and said, "That's the same as our family's eldest girl Zhilan, who has some fate, she is also only fifteen years old." ”
Mrs. Dongqu's smile froze, she swept several young ladies of the Jiang family suspiciously, and secretly looked at Jiang Zhilan, thinking to herself Isn't the eldest daughter of the Jiang family called Jiang Yu?
Look at what the old lady means, do you still want to be happy and let her eldest son marry Jiang Zhilan?
This Chen is also old-fashioned and unsmiling, but the daughter raised is really unusual, and she smiles and laughs in every move, and she is very self-contained.
Mrs. Dongqu suddenly became annoyed, why didn't she bring her eldest son this time, but brought the child Huaixi.
Mrs. Jiang has so many granddaughters, if she falls in love with him again, it will be troublesome.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Dongqu didn't reply for a while.
The old lady only thought that she didn't want to talk deeply in front of the children, so she also smiled, and took a pair of jade and jade bracelets with excellent water color from her hand and put them on Dong Qujie, and sighed: "In a flash, the children have grown up." ”
Mrs. Dongqu came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly continued: "The old lady's body is still as healthy as ever, look at it this year, her spirit is getting better and better than in previous years, she is really getting younger and younger, and we can't envy it." ”
For a while, the old lady laughed tremblingly, pointed at Mrs. Dongqu and said, "The old lady of your family is also a blessed one." At the same time, he asked several daughters-in-law to follow and learn.
Seeing that the second lady of Jiangfu, Zhao, handed over a look of implied admiration, Mrs. Dongqu felt closer to her more and more. At the same time, she is also a little fluttering, coaxing people, she is also a good hand when she is in the house.
Mrs. Dongqu was thinking with a smile when there was a brisk and energetic footsteps outside.
Zhao said with a smile: "Xu is a few brothers who have arrived with the brothers of Dongqu Mansion. ”
Mrs. Jiang then called Jin Fang's mother and arranged Jiang Yu and Dong Qujie into the inner room behind the screen.
As soon as Jin Fang's mother went out, a few little girls, you look at me, I look at you, all of them smiled tacitly and rushed to the screen, waiting through the hazy and delicate embroidered screen, full of thoughts.
After a slight pause, a slightly stronger young man took the lead in walking in, because he was against the light, he couldn't see clearly, and several young ladies in Jiang Mansion thought that it was Dongqu Huaixi, the third son of Dongqu Mansion, who came in, and as a result, people stood in the middle of the hall, only to see that it was Jiang Zhiyong.
Jiang Zhiyong's eyes are sharp, and he is reckless, when he saw that the old lady's side was suddenly separated from the inner room without a screen, he was very curious, he quietly leaned over to take a look, several sisters were there!
Jiang Zhihui snorted lightly and said goodbye, Jiang Zhilan also lowered her head slightly, Jiang Zhiyao and Jiang Zhiyou's faces did not change much, leaving Jiang Zhirou still young, seeing Jiang Zhiyong's inquiring eyes towards them, she quietly moved over and kindly told the second cousin: "With the light on your back, they treat you as the third son of Dongqu." ”
Jiang Zhiyong was surprised for a second, and suddenly found that his sisters were looking at him excitedly, but this time he had a long memory, and immediately looked behind him, his face sank unexpectedly.
At this time, he glanced at Jiang Yu, who was sitting not far away and laughing, with mixed feelings in his heart - what kind of people are these people, why don't he have a sister.
But he didn't notice that there was a strange girl among the sisters, so he just snorted, turned around and quietly moved to his original position and stood up, looking like he was swaying a few steps from side to side.
In just one sentence, Huaixi, the third son of Dongqu, and his two elder brothers Jiang Zhilang, Jiang Zhizhao and younger brother Jiang Yuzhi had already entered the door and stood in a row beside him.
Several people saluted Mrs. Jiang together, and then separately greeted each other's families.
When Mrs. Jiang and several ladies saw Dongqu Huaixi for the first time, they all had varying degrees of amazement.
This child, with red lips and white teeth, has upright facial features, and has a clear and noble attitude, especially a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking at everyone like a full expression, staring solemnly, he really looks better than a girl.
But just think about it, if you praise people like this, even if you are sincere, even the Zhao family will not plan to tell Mrs. Dongqu to know.
The old lady pointed to her grandchildren one by one and introduced them to Mrs. Dongqu, and praised Dongqu Huaixi.
"Why did you meet each other, I think you came all the way back, and you are already familiar with it?" The old lady asked her eldest grandson, Jiang Zhilang.
"Back to grandmother, today the grandchildren and the third son of Dongqu happened to go to Mr. Xu's place, so Mr. Xu made an introduction." Enolang Road.
Jiang Zhilang acted and spoke very gently, and couldn't help but make Mrs. Dongqu have a good impression - this Chen family, I really can't see it, the son and daughter are each different, forget it, or don't dislike her?
When Jiang Zhizhao stepped forward, Mrs. Dongqu's eyes lit up again, her sword eyebrows were sharp, her demeanor was natural and free, and she was a good child.
So there was a bit of a struggle.
She glanced behind the screen again, and wondered which one of her daughters was in the picture? Hey, the kid in the back who is a little younger than the first two looks good?
Jiang Zhilang and Jiang Zhizhao both had smiles on their faces, only Jiang Yuzhi's face was pale, and he couldn't see happiness or slackness. He only spoke when answering Waihi's question, but he didn't lose his bearing.
Mrs. Dongqu was curious for a moment, and then turned around and asked the old lady.
"This is ······ The child of the third lady? ”
The expression on the third lady Luo's face froze, and she lowered her eyes for a moment and nodded slightly.
The scene was a little cold, everyone could see that she was a little unhappy, and the Chen family and the Zhao family also knew that for Jiang Yuzhi, a concubine, and his mother You, the Luo family, who had always been high, had a big fight.
Jiang Yu faintly heard them chatting about the third room behind the screen, so she also got down from the Xiangfei couch and approached the screen to see.
