Chapter 10 The Jiang Family Comes
Zhuo Zhaojie secretly stuck out his tongue, because in front of the Jiang family, it was inconvenient to elaborate, so he simply said: "The hundred-year-old ginseng in the second uncle's room has run out, and I want to get some from my grandmother, so I asked me to get it." β
"Hmm." You Ruoheng replied sullenly, because he is a person who is not good at anything except reading, and he knows it himself, so he has always been handed over to the Ban family to be the master inside and out, and now he doesn't care about this matter, and he plans to leave after asking, but he doesn't want an elder led by the Jiang family to look at Zhuo Zhaojie a few times, but suddenly asked: "Who is this little lady?" β
You Ruoheng had to introduce: "This is the youngest daughter of the eldest daughter, who has been raised in my house since she was a child because of her weak body. "I ordered Zhuo Zhaojie to come up and see the Jiang family.
Zhuo Zhaojie was busy greeting people one by one.
The Jiang family came back with a total of four people, three men and one woman, the leader of this person looked more than ten years younger than You Ruoheng, and was Jiang Chutian, the uncle of Jiang's sister-in-law - Jiang's parents had passed away, this time Jiang Chutian came over to ask the You family for justice, and You Ruoheng personally greeted him for him, after all, although You Ruoheng was older and was the old Hanlin, in the end, the Jiang family was at fault in the matter, and half a step behind Jiang Chutian was the only woman of the Jiang family on this trip, the Liu family, who was obviously much younger than Jiang Chutian, but in his twenties, The skin is snow-white, the eyebrows are handsome, wearing a plain silk satin shirt, a ginger Luo skirt, a fallen bun, there are not many hairpin rings, but they are extremely exquisite, a pearl hairpin inside, the hairpin head is a light golden southern pearl the size of a thumb, and a string of southern pearls of the same color on the wrist are full and smooth, which shows the Jiang family's family background.
Two steps behind is the Jiang family's brother-in-law Changjiang Fuguang, and Jiang Chutian's youngest son Jiang Fufeng.
Jiang Fuguang is older than You Fei, although he has never been a celebrity, but he also has the fame of Xiucai, wearing plain clothes, and his bearing is not bad, his face is heavy at the moment, and his expression is depressed and difficult to hide his indignation, obviously haunted by his sister's death, and he only snorted lightly to Zhuo Zhaojie's greetings, and he didn't want to pay attention to it.
That Jiang Fufeng is a twenty-eight young man, handsome and beautiful, fair and elegant, with a light robe and a slow belt, but although he is no older than Zhuo Zhaojie, he is not two or three years older, but his generation is there, so Zhuo Zhaojie still stepped forward according to the etiquette of seeing the elders, and Jiang Fufeng said politely.
"It turned out to be the little lady of the Zhuo family." Jiang Chutian stopped, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law has always been good at teaching people, and the little lady is also beautiful and outstanding, and it is even more rare to be quiet and sensible, and she is very polite when she sees her elders!" β
Zhuo Zhaojie just pursed his lips and smiled at this sudden praise, making a shy appearance, and sure enough, You Ruoheng answered: "Brother Jiang Xian is too famous. Such a dry polite sentence, and then said, "I also invite the virtuous brother to come to the hall to speak." β
Jiang Chutian showed a hint of kindness and said, "Brother Xian, although I came here today for another important matter, I can't accept the courtesy of a junior in vain. As he spoke, he groped around on his body - he came to the door today to ask for guilt, and naturally he didn't bring any greeting gifts on his body, but Jiang Chutian, the granddaughter of Marquis Minping, simply untied a piece of ancient jade from his waist, "I came here in a hurry today, this jade is not very good, let's make a play for Xiaoniang." β
You Ruoheng naturally hurriedly stopped: "When you meet an elder on the road, it is a matter of course to meet you, this ancient jade is a good brother's favorite piece, how can you give it to a child?" β
"It's just a greeting gift." Jiang Chutian pushed him for a long time, and in the end he still stuffed the jade in Zhuo Zhaojie's hand, although Liu next to him didn't say much, but he also smiled and returned a bracelet to Zhuo Zhaojie to wear, seeing this scene, Jiang Fuguang and Jiang Fufeng glanced at each other, and touched their bodies, You Zhen and You Xiao persuaded him, so Zhuo Zhaojie got a red gold silk sachet and a white jade fan pendant, and the two sides politely greeted each other, and then followed into Duanyi Garden.
After entering, she didn't see Ban Shi in the hall, You Ruoheng coughed and explained: "She is also sad when she makes a fuss about something like yesterday, she hasn't been good since last night, and she can't get up this morning." β
Jiang Chutian said: "I know that my sister-in-law has always loved Fuyue, but now that something like this has happened, we must always come over and ask......
"Brother Xian is talking about extremely." You Ruoheng said sincerely, "This matter is my family's eldest daughter-in-law. β
Before they could speak, Liu interjected: "I'll go to the back to see the sister-in-law of the Ban family." β
Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "The old lady doesn't dislike it, I'll take the old lady in." β
In the inner room, Ban frowned and leaned against the bedpost, wiped his forehead, looked sad, pinched a handkerchief in his hand, and wiped the corners of his eyes from time to time.
"Sister-in-law of the Ban family?" Liu Shi came in the door, saw the situation, and screamed softly, Ban Shi seemed to have just woken up, so he struggled to get up, Liu Shi hurriedly said: "Lie down, lie down!" Don't get up and get tired again. β
Ban was pressed back to the couch by Liu, held her hand, and cried after pulling the handkerchief: "I'm sorry for Fuyue!" β
"Alas......" Liu sighed sadly, patted her hand lightly and said, "Sister-in-law don't say this, you have always been a person with rules, but we are getting older...... There are many things that may not be the right idea......"
Hearing that she couldn't make the decision in her tone, Ban wiped his tears and choked up: "Hail Lang, this child, you don't know the sister of the Liu family, he doesn't have any bad intentions, but he is confused, and he is deceived by that poisonous woman......"
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad and sad, your body is tight." Liu didn't answer You Fei's words, but glanced at Zhuo Zhaojie not far away, and said with a slight smile, "You still have such an excellent granddaughter!" For her sake, you must also be spiritual. β
As if he had only seen Zhuo Zhaojie now, Ban scolded in a crying voice: "Elder speak, what are you doing here?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie said embarrassedly: "I ......"
"Don't!" Liu Shi hurriedly persuaded, "Sister-in-law knows about my family, there are a lot of Lang Jun, but Xiao Niang is very rare, even if there are so few, where can I compare to Zhuo Xiaoniang?" Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I just bumped into it on the road, which really made my eyes shine! She is here, and the sister-in-law looks more comfortable. β
Ban Shi sighed and said, "This kid, I played late with her cousin yesterday, so I simply lived in the second room, and came over so early in the morning...... What is it? β
Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "The second aunt wants to get some century-old ginseng from my grandmother. β
"Coral opened the cupboard, and I remember one cut a little bit." Ban instructed, "Take it to Zhaojie, and get it back when you have the rest." β
Coral repliedβLiu asked, "I need more words...... Who else in the house is sick? β
"Alas, it's Zi Niang." Ban didn't hide it, "I was also bad at the beginning, I didn't resist her biological mother's insistence, and married her to Qi County, although she returned to Jiangnan in a few years, but her body was also very bad, and now she can only take medicine as food...... However, as long as the person is good, none of this matters. β
Liu sympathized: "I see, but where can I complain about my sister-in-law about this?" In the end, it was her biological mother who had the wrong idea. β
"Fortunately, Shinro is a good boy." Ban sighed softly.
At this time, Coral had already taken out the box containing a nearly complete old ginseng, Zhuo Zhaojie took it, and said softly: "Grandmother, Old Lady Liu, I'll send the medicine." β
"Go ahead." Ban didn't wait for Liu to speak, and said.
Zhuo Zhaojie came out and passed through the outer hall, but the atmosphere was solemn at this time, she didn't dare to see and listen more, and quietly slipped out of the house along the corner, only to walk for a short time, but she heard a cough behind her, and looked back, but it was the little uncle Jiang Fufeng who came out alone, seeing Zhuo Zhaojie looking at him suspiciously, Jiang Fufeng took a few steps closer, and then lowered his voice and said: "Zhuo Xiaoniang, I can't insert the words inside, I want to visit my nephew, and by the way, I will give my cousin a stick, I don't know if Zhuo Xiaoniang can lead the way?" β
"Uncle Jiang is polite." Zhuo Zhaojie just received a bunch of meeting gifts, and now he naturally can't say anything to refuse, and then talk about it...... Duanyi Yuan was not far from the big house, so he asked Ming Yin to take the ginseng box and advised, "After you go out, you send it to the eleventh cousin - uncle, please come with me." β
"Thank you Miss Zhuo." Jiang Fufeng said with a smile when he heard this.
The three of them went out of the door of Duanyi Garden, not wanting to see Ren Shenzhi looking at him both expectantly and anxiously not far away, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly called Mingyin over, Ren Shenzhi saw this scene and greeted him, Zhuo Zhaojie only said vaguely in front of Jiang Fufeng: "Eleventh cousin, the ginseng is here, and my grandmother said to use it first." β
Ren Shenzhi glanced at her gratefully, wanting to thank her, but when he saw Jiang Fufeng again, he said with surprise on his face: "How can Senior Brother be here?" β
Jiang Fufeng was also surprised: "Senior Brother Ren? β
Not long ago, Shen Zhi worshiped Mr. Tian's door, and Mr. Tian introduced him to several senior brothers in the academy, including Jiang Fufeng, but at that time he was worried about coming back to serve the sick, and as soon as the apprenticeship ceremony was over, he confessed and left, and did not talk deeply, but only to know that the two were still relatives who turned the corner.
After figuring out this matter, Zhuo Zhaojie covered his sleeves and chuckled: "Eleventh cousin, you can't call you senior brother in the future, you have to call the Jiang family's junior uncle!" β
"Naturally." Ren Shenzhi didn't notice the disappointment in Jiang Fufeng's eyes when she said this, his heart was relieved, and he asked Jiang Fufeng with a smile, "But I don't know where my little uncle and cousin are going?" β
"The little uncle said that he was going to put incense on the eldest aunt and see the eldest cousin." Zhuo Zhaojie answered, and Ren Shenzhi took the opportunity to hand back the ginseng box to Ming Yin: "I see, then I just happened to show the way for my little uncle, please ask my cousin to send this medicine over?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie was a little hesitant at the moment because he agreed to Jiang Fufeng first, and when he saw this, Ren Shenzhi smiled casually: "It just so happens that I am taking leave during this time, and I also want to ask my uncle for advice on my homework." β
When he said this, Zhuo Zhaojie naturally said goodbye to Jiang Fufeng with peace of mind, and saw her go away with an umbrella, Jiang Fufeng couldn't help but glance at Ren Shenzhi meaningfully, but Ren Shenzhi smiled slightly, didn't give him a chance to speak, and talked about his homework seriously - Jiang Fufeng was not very familiar with him before, so he had to endure depression to explain to him.
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know about the intrigue between Ren Shenzhi and Jiang Fufeng, so he took Mingyin directly to the Feixia Court where You Zi lived.
It was unfortunate to go, You Zi had only drunk a bowl of medicine and fell asleep, her status in the You family was embarrassing, and the people around her were naturally a little cringe, Zhuo Zhaojie saw that he was delaying their work in Feixia Garden, so he left a few words to wish You Zi a speedy recovery and told them to serve with their hearts, and said goodbye.
After leaving Feixia Garden, I thought that Duanyi Yuan was going to participate in the second room's mission, and in the end she was going to the second room to say something, and the second lady smiled when she saw her come back: "It's hard to get my aunt to come here to rest for a night, I don't want to ask you to run back to your legs." β
"The second aunt said kind words, but it was just a few steps, and it was also appropriate to run errands for the elders." Zhuo Zhaojie said indifferently, "The medicine has been sent to Feixia Garden, and my aunt is asleep now, so I don't dare to disturb it." β
The second lady smiled and said, "That's fine." After talking about Youzi, she asked with some good things, "You just went to Duanyi Garden, and you can see the Jiang family?" β
"Yes." Zhuo Zhaojie nodded, and said, "The Jiang family has a grandfather, an old lady Liu and two uncles, at this moment, my grandfather is accompanying the grandfather of the Jiang family, and the old lady Liu is at my grandmother's, and the little uncle of the Jiang family originally went to the big house to give incense to the eldest uncle, but later the eleventh cousin met him, and he was a classmate, so he took him to the ...... for me."
The second lady listened, but suddenly sent the handmaid on the side, the spring equinox and the others, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but show surprise, the second lady beckoned her to the front again, and asked in a low voice: "The little uncle of the Jiang family you are talking about, but the Jiang seventeen lang who is studying in Huaixing Academy?" β
"I don't know if it's seventeenth, but since it's my eleventh's cousin's classmate, it's naturally from Huaixing Academy." Zhuo Zhaojie didn't realize that she was mysterious, but she asked Jiang Fufeng's ranking, so she replied confusedly.
The second lady smiled meaninglessly: "Why did Shenlang lead him to the big room for you?" Could it be that Jiang Jialangjun originally asked you to lead the way? β
"Yes!" Zhuo Zhaojie nodded, and saw that the second lady looked like she wanted to say something but was inconvenient to speak, thought for a while, and then stretched out her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I just said that you were a big girl two days ago, why are you confused now?" It's a shame that your eleventh cousin is here! β
