Chapter 56: Questioning
Jiang saw that the two sisters went out to play and came back not long after, Yi Jin also changed her clothes, and Jiang knew that something was wrong when she saw it.
dragged the two to the verandah, and asked them in a deep voice what was going on.
Wu Yijin didn't speak, Wu Yuan knew that he couldn't hide it from the third aunt, so he told the third aunt everything that had just happened in the pavilion, and Jiang was going to beat Wu Yijin when he heard the words.
Wu Yuan hurriedly protected the little sister in front of him, and the third aunt landed on Wu Yuan with a slap, Jiang was shocked, and hurriedly opened his sleeves, only to see a large red patch on Wu Yuan's arm.
"My sister also got into trouble with Miss Jiang because of me, it's all my sister's fault, and please don't blame my sister for my third aunt. If the grandmother is to blame, the third aunt can just say that I am in trouble. β
Wu Yuan put down his sleeves to cover the seal, and still protected the little sister in front of him.
Jiang hurriedly called his mother-in-law to get the plaster, helped Wu Yuan to go to the wing, and Chun Tao carefully applied the plaster to Wu Yuan.
Wu Yijin said a little apologetically: "Eldest sister, you don't have to protect me, my mother is just angry and hit me twice, it's nothing, I can hide, it's okay, and you will be slapped by the eldest sister."
Wu Yuan took the little sister's hand and said: "It's nothing, just now you stood up for your sister, and your sister should protect you like this, but if the Jiang family comes later, you must not be reckless, just let the third aunt deal with it." β
Cui Shi was talking to Mrs. Yanyun, when he saw Mrs. Jiang come to Mrs. Yanyun with Miss Jiang with her cloak and hair, and Mrs. Yanyun's wife hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Cui's and said in a deep voice: "The little girl was just enjoying the flowers with the girls in the pavilion, but the Miss Wu family suddenly came up and was about to tear it, I also want to ask the second grandmother of the Wu family, I don't know where you Miss Wu are here?" Is our Jiang family's girl so easy to bully? β
Hearing this, Cui's face turned blue and white, turned his head and asked Mama Cui to bring the two young ladies over.
When Mama Cui came to look for her, Wu Yuan and Wu Yijin were coming out of the room.
"Two young ladies, I can be regarded as looking for you, you have caused a big disaster! Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang are questioning the second grandmother in the front hall! Follow the old slave! Cui Mama was out of breath and pulled the two of them to leave.
Jiang Shi came out of the wing room at this time and said in a deep voice: "What does it look like to pull and pull!" Not a spark of decency! I'll take them both! I want to ask them how the Jiang family taught their daughter! β
Only then did Mama Cui find that the third lady Jiang was also in the house, so she let go of her hand and responded in a low voice.
I saw Jiang Shi push Wu Yuan and Wu Yijin into the wing room, and whispered to the two of them: "When you get to the wife of the salt envoy, you don't talk much, you can answer whatever you ask, if they scold, you will cry to me!" β
Wu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and looked up to see the third aunt nodding involuntarily.
When I arrived at the front hall, I immediately saw Miss Jiang standing in front of Mrs. Yanyun, crying pear blossoms with rain, Jiang sat down, Wu Yuan and Wu Yijin hurriedly greeted Mrs. Yanyun.
"Where did the two young ladies go? This Miss Jiang, do you know each other? The lady of the salt transport envoy sat upright and asked.
Wu Yuan lightly blessed and replied respectfully: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, just now the little girl and her sister went to the pavilion to enjoy the flowers with other sisters, and this Miss Jiang is also among them. β
After hearing Wu Yuan's words, Mrs. Jiang said proudly: "Madam, look, this is their own admission, so they can't afford it!" β
After speaking, Mrs. Jiang glanced at Cui Shi defiantly.
Cui Shi raised his voice and asked sharply, "Do you two know what is wrong?" β
This is the third aunt Jiang Shi stood up and said softly: "Second sister-in-law doesn't need to be angry, the reason for this is that we can't just listen to Miss Jiang's words and conclude that it is our Wu family's fault." β
After that, Jiang motioned for Wu Yijin to speak.
"At first, we all chatted very happily, and the sisters got along very well, but this Miss Jiang suddenly talked about it for some reasonγγγγγγ Spoke ill of my eldest sister! I wasn't angry, I wanted to reason with her, but she scratched her clothes, and the rest of the sisters came up to pull us away, I don't know if it was pulling, Miss Jiang's hair bun fell crooked, in short, I don't know why Miss Jiang suddenly spoke disrespectfully, probably because she didn't look down on our Wu family! Wu Yijin lowered her head and said.
"You talk nonsense! It's obvious that you came up and pulled my hair, so I went to pull your clothes! If you don't believe it, you can ask the sisters who were present at the time to ask! Miss Jiang said angrily.
Seeing this, Wu Yuan quickly asked, "So Miss Jiang admitted that you said bad things about Miss Wu at that time?" β
The lady of the salt transport envoy asked, "What bad words?" Let's be honest! β
Wu Yijin hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "She said that my eldest sister is a disaster starγγγγγγ β
Hearing this, Cui Shi looked at Wu Yuan, who lowered his head.
Mrs. Yanyun was shocked when she heard this, she had just come to Yangzhou, so she naturally didn't know what was going on, she just said that a girl's family was a disaster, and this kind of words were too vicious, besides, the eldest lady of the Wu family was still here, she dared to say this in front of her, this Miss Jiang family could be seen to be not kind-hearted.
Jiang looked at Mrs. Jiang playfully, and said lightly: "Could it be that the Jiang family has any dissatisfaction with our Wu family?" If you are dissatisfied, you can directly tell our second master, our second grandmother is also sitting here, you can also directly tell my second sister-in-law, it seems that it is not good to teach the girl at home, right? After all, children, if they talk nonsense outside, others still think that the salt merchants in Yangzhou do not obey the orders of our Wu family general merchants! β
Hearing this, Cui straightened up and looked at Mrs. Jiang dissatisfied.
Seeing that the matter has been involved in the salt administration, the lady of the salt transport envoy couldn't help but look grim, this matter is related to the future of her master, if there is a problem in Yangzhou's salt industry, her own lord will not be able to get rid of it.
Mrs. Jiang trembled angrily, "Obviously, it was your Miss Wu family who beat people first, Jiang, you don't want to mess around and take out the name of the general merchant to scare me!" Who doesn't know that your Wu family is already superficial, and you are still a general businessman! Let me tell you, if your young lady of the Wu family doesn't apologize to my daughter today, don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between the two families! β
The lady of the salt transport envoy said in a deep voice: "The name of the general merchant is sealed by the imperial court, how dare you say this about the Wu family!" Moreover, the Wu family is the fourth generation of the first emperor's imperial gift, that is, the big and small officials are to be respectful in front of the Wu family's archway. β
Mrs. Jiang didn't expect Mrs. Yanyun to suddenly make trouble, so she was so frightened that she spread on the ground, and when Cui saw this, she asked Mama Cui to help Mrs. Jiang up.
"Today's incident is just a small dispute between the girl's family, although Miss Wu is impulsive and reckless and made the first move, but Miss Jiang seems to be too uneducated, right? In front of the young lady of the Wu family, she said something that was rumored outside and had no shadow, no wonder Miss Wu would do it. I think that's it, a good flower viewing will ruin you! The Salt Envoy said.
Mrs. Jiang still wanted to say something, but when she saw her mother-in-law coming to help her, she whispered: "Madame, please go back, the master knows, and is waiting for Madame and Miss at home." β
The Jiang family supported the Miss Jiang family, who was wearing a cloak, and quickly came out of the flowers while making gestures to everyone.
Wu Yuan hurriedly thanked Mrs. Yanyun, "Thank you Madame for forgiving us sisters, disturbing Madame's flower viewing party today, and asking Madame to blame me alone for not doing my little sister's business." β
Mrs. Yanyun asked her mother-in-law to help the two of them up, and smiled slightly, "Today's incident is indeed disturbing Yaxing, who is enjoying the flowers, but there is a reason for it, and that's it, but you must not be so reckless in the future." β
Wu Yuan and Wu Yijin hurriedly bowed and saluted.
