Chapter 30: Entering the Ancestral Hall
As soon as she heard this, even if Jiang Yu lowered her head, she felt that a lot of eyes immediately converged on her.
She shook her head and said confusedly, "It's not me, I'm ······ I don't actually see who knocked down the screen. ”
Jiang Zhiyao sobbed softly at this time, and said in a faint voice: "I didn't see who it was, I don't know why the screen fell, it really has nothing to do with me...... It should be the young lady of the Dongqu family......"
Mrs. Jiang ignored her, but continued to ask Jiang Yu: "So, when the third prince of Dongqu helped the screen back, was the exposed hand you?" ”
······ It turned out that the screen didn't fall down in the end at that time, and it was Dongqu Huaixi who helped him. Although Jiang Yu was still confused when she heard this, she was not ashamed, so she nodded and said, "Grandmother, it's me." ”
"Do you know you can't hold that screen?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
Jiang Yu continued to answer: "I know, almost all the screens in my grandmother's room are agarwood or jade, and they are very high-" Looking at the puzzled looks of Mrs. Jiang and everyone, she simply continued: "It's just that I thought that several sisters would come together to help, but when I turned around, I found that they all fell down at that time." ”
Mrs. Jiang stared at her little granddaughter, with a desolation in her eyes - then why do you have to help?
Almost everyone involuntarily waited for the childish voice to continue.
“······ First, I thought, the eldest lady of Dongqu is outside, if the screen falls, it will not only be bad for the eldest sister, but also the grandmother and several aunts will have no light on their faces; Second, before I could think about it that much, my hand was already on it. ”
There was silence all around, Jiang Zhilan sat beside her mother, her fingers grasping the armrest of the Huanghuali chair hard, and her knuckles turned white.
Jiang Zhiyou and Jiang Zhirou thought of Jiang Yu almost falling down with the screen in front of them at that time, and they were also afraid for a while - a woman can be a matchmaker at the age of twelve, and Jiang Zhiyou will go to the master to learn from the master next year.
If the screen really fell down at that time and spread out, it would be a stain on them in the future.
Chen deeply regretted that he did not let Jiang Zhihua come to apologize to Jiang Yu in person at this time.
Mrs. Luo felt a little sour in her eyes, she turned her head away with some difficulty, and asked again after a while: "Then why didn't you say these things first when your aunt asked?" ”
She didn't wait for her little granddaughter to answer carefully, but said for her: "Because you are arrogant and arrogant, you think that no one will believe you if you say it, because you have a bad relationship with all your sisters and brothers, and because your parents died early, I am dedicated to protecting you, so that you feel that it doesn't matter if you don't explain clearly or even don't explain!" ”
When Mrs. Jiang said this, she closed her eyes and felt tears welling up in her eyes.
Jiang Yu was at a loss, and Mrs. Jiang guessed all her thoughts - didn't this show that her way of dealing with it was not wrong?
If it weren't for Mrs. Dongqu and Miss Dongqu coming back, she would have said 10,000 sentences, and she wouldn't have been able to resist Jiang Zhihua and Jiang Zhiyao framing her, Jiang Zhiyou and Jiang Zhirou were silent.
Except for Mrs. Jiang, no one would believe her.
At this time, she heard Chen, Zhao and others exclaiming: "Mother! ”
Jiang Yu raised her head, and before she could see the old lady Jiang clearly, she heard the old man smash something under the hall and smashed it beside Jiang Zhiyao, and then said in a sharp tone: "Punish Jiang Yu to go to the ancestral hall to copy the "Female Commandment" for two hours, go now!" ”
Chen took Jiang Zhilan to stand up, also knelt on the ground, and begged: "Mother, don't be angry, this matter was originally the daughter-in-law's, didn't you raise Zhihua well, let her be indiscriminate-mother, what's wrong with Sister Yu······ Please punish us, Yaxiang, why don't you go and check the old lady's wounds! ”
Zhao also joined in the fun, knelt down, and squeezed out tears: "It's also my fault, I raised such a thing as Zhiyao, I don't learn anything else, but I learn to catch the wind and catch shadows!" ”
Jiang Zhiyao clenched her hands hatefully.
Mu Xiang and Ya Xiang stepped forward and persuaded, "Old lady, don't move yet, even if you are angry, wait for the slave maid to bandage you before you go to punish the eldest lady-"
"Don't call her Miss! The eldest daughter of the Jiang family is Jiang Zhilan! Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath, pushed away the cliff incense, and felt a heat in the corner of her eyes.
When Chen heard this, he understood that the old lady was obviously punishing Jiang Yu, but she was actually slapping them in the face.
Although she asked every sentence saying that Jiang Yu was not, when she thought about it, she was simply accusing others of being unfair and prejudiced against Jiang Yu.
Ya Xiang hurriedly came to help Jiang Yu to take her out, Jiang Yu stood up, glanced at Mrs. Jiang deeply, and then turned around and obediently followed Ya Xiang out of the door.
When I got out of the main hall, I saw Jin Fang's mother waiting there, and after Ya Xiang handed Jiang Yu to Jin Fang's mother, she hurriedly went back to see the old lady.
Jin Fang's mother smiled at Jiang Yu and said, "Sister Yu, be brave, don't be wronged, your grandmother is for your good." ”
Then she took Jiang Yu and walked to the ancestral hall step by step.
Jiang Yu closed her eyes, and the tearful appearance of the old lady Jiang just now immediately appeared in front of her······ And her hand, when she smashed the rosary, her hand was also scratched by the string.
··············
The ancestral hall is dark, and it is uninhabited all year round, only the ancestral god card is enshrined, and it can't be opened a few times a year.
Jiang Yu's body was still too weak in the end, but she sat on a thin futon, and copied the "Female Commandment" for two hours in front of the wind, and before she wrote a few hundred, she was already weak, and finally asked Chi Ying and Ying Cui to take the vine drawer back.
When she first returned to Tangtang, Chen brought Jiang Zhihui and Jiang Zhilan to see her.
It's just that Chi Ying has a strong temper, even if there is still snow outside, she is stunned to let Chen and her two daughters stand outside for a quarter of an hour before entering the main hall of Tang Hall, and also said that Jiang Yu needs to rest, and they are not used to being around, so they are not allowed to see Jiang Yu.
Chen's such a dignified and old-fashioned person, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang Mansion for many years, was embarrassed by a little girl this time, and she was not punished according to the rules.
Jiang Zhilan and Jiang Zhihui were also silent, like frosted eggplants, without a trace of temper.
Yingcui still couldn't see it, she was afraid that Jiang Yu would be difficult to do in the future, so she said something like waiting for Jiang Yu to wake up and come to see it another day, and sent them away.
Jiang Yu's typhoid fever was good and bad, almost intermittent for more than half a month.
During this period, afraid that she would be bored lying in bed all day, Chi Ying and Yingcui sometimes let her go to the porch to bask in the sun, and sometimes they listened to all kinds of news from outside and came back to learn from her.
"The second lady was punished by the second lady to kneel when she went back, and the slave maid listened to the little girl in Xiyuan say that the second lady was not to teach her well, but to think that the second lady had lost her face."
Jiang Yu pursed her lips when she heard this, but did not speak.
After two days, when Jiang Yu disliked the medicine when she drank it, and she refused to take another sip, Chi Ying found a piece of strawberry candied fruit and fed her.
Jiang Yu asked, "The third sister sent it?" ”
Akazakura pursed her lips when she heard this, looking unhappy, and did not speak. Just because Jiang Zhiyou didn't speak for Jiang Yu that day, she even looks down on Jiang Zhiyou now.
The new first-class girl didn't know the bottom of it, and said with a smile: "It was sent by the third lady personally, she also cares about the young lady very much, and said that the other young ladies are all in the clan study, if you are worried about missing the course, send someone to her to get a textbook, what the female gentleman said, she has written a copy for you." ”
