Chapter 63: Family Affairs (4)
In Jiang Wanmu's words and laughter, Mu Gen's face gradually turned red and purple. He glanced at Jiang Wanmu, who was smiling without an image, and his heart suddenly softened. He knew that Jiang Wanmu had no other meaning in his words. The red on his face gradually receded a little, some smiles appeared in his eyes, and he still pretended to be angry on his face, glaring at her and saying, "You still don't stand up, brother, can you make fun of it casually?" Stand up quickly, if my mother sees you like this, she will cry behind her back. ”
Jiang Wanmu listened to Mu Gen's words, thinking that her own nurse liked her dignified appearance the most. She continued to keep her head down, thinking about it, secretly thinking that she was amused, and she was obviously not a dignified person. In order to survive over the years, his words and deeds have been practiced like everyone else's, and he has acted cautiously everywhere. It seems that there will be a chance to return to his nature in the future, but I am afraid that he will be a little unaccustomed to it.
She looked up with a smile, stretched out a hand, handed it to Mugen and said, "Brother, I laughed so hard that my feet were too weak to stand up, you led me up." Mu Gen's face gradually faded red, and it was dyed a little, he looked at Jiang Wanmu, who was only casual in front of him, and knew that she regarded herself as a brother in her heart, and her heart warmed.
He stretched out his hand and gently pulled her to stand up, and when he saw her standing firmly, he let go of his hand, and like a rather helpless brother, he reached out and nodded her nose affectionately, and said, "Alas, you are all people who want to get married, and you are so naughty." You, you can't be like this in the future, it's not good for others to see. Think about it, there is a young lady who will squat on the ground and laugh casually like you just did. ”
As soon as he said this, the smile in Jiang Wanmu's eyes gradually disappeared. Mugen looked at her tastured little face, and then thought of what he had said, and he became depressed. Jiang Wanmu didn't speak for a long time, her eyes moving erratically. After a while, she asked Mu Gen, "Brother, do you think the Jiang family, will they let me have a good life?" Hearing this, Mu Gen looked at the empty courtyard in front of him, and then glanced at the coarse cloth clothes on Jiang Wanmu's body, his eyes were gloomy.
The ladies of the Jiang family are all wearing brocade clothes, and Miss Yan doesn't have to mention the clothes on her body and the people around her. Speaking of the ladies alone, each of them has two housekeepers who have grown up with them since childhood, and there are two big girls, six little girls, and two rough women in the yard. Their yard will not be the same as Jiang Wanmu's yard, which is empty and sour.
Mu Gen held back a sullen breath in his chest, and said to Jiang Wanmu calmly: "Whether the master and the lady will let you have a good life, I can't see now." It's just that I know that your life will not be particularly bad. You are the third lady of the Jiang family. As long as they think of the reputation of the Jiang family, as well as the young ladies in the family who are not married, they will save face and make you able to get by. Jiang Wanmu listened to Mu Gen's words, thinking about it, she was still upset.
Mu Gen glanced at the relaxed Jiang Wanmu, and after seeing the tension in her eyes disappear, he said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard that the official media came over for your example, which is a great thing." Only the wife will invite the official media to come to the house. Did anyone close to Madame come and talk to you about this? Jiang Wanmu shook her head and said, "I wasn't there when Xiao Jiang's family sent new tables and chairs yesterday. She mentioned a sentence or two to Ji Yan, and Ji Yan was happy for a while, and he didn't remember to ask her a few more words. She only remembered that she was the son-in-law of a wealthy family. ”
When Mugen heard this, his face did not have a happy face, but a worried expression was added. He whispered, "If your beloved person is the son-in-law of an ordinary family, life will be better in the future." The son-in-law of this high-ranking family is born precious, and it sounds a little wrong to ask you for this family matter. Forget it, let's not think too much, maybe we will still think about good things for us. You just wait quietly for the people around your lady to come and tell you the accurate news. When the time comes, remember to call Ji Yan over and let us know. ”
Jiang Wanmu listened to Mu Gen's words, glanced at him, and originally wanted to mention the decision of the Ji Yan family to him, but after thinking about it, she let go of the matter. She smiled and asked Mugen: "Brother, why don't you have so many worries this time, but go directly into my yard to talk?" Mugen glanced at the half-opened courtyard door and said, "I'm your brother, and now I'm talking with the door open, what do I have to take care of." This made Jiang Wanmu laugh for a while, since Mugen was seven years old, he has a stereotypical belief that he is getting older, and he is different from Jiang Wanmu's men and women, the two want to talk, only when they go out of the courtyard door, going out to talk is the right reason, and it is the rule of life.
Mu Gen smiled at Jiang Wanmu and his face turned red again, he glared at Jiang Wanmu and said, "What's so funny?" My brother did that, but it was for your own good. Jiang Wanmu hurriedly straightened her expression, put away her smiling face, and pretended to agree with her. Mu Gen looked at her expression, but laughed to himself, and said, "I used to be young, and I only thought about the rules. I didn't think that outside the courtyard gate, after being seen, I would cause trouble. Fortunately, we were both young at that time, and when others saw it, we didn't have much to talk about. ”
Jiang Wanmu knew that in addition to this one reason, the most important thing was that she was a dumb lady. So when others see it, they see it, and they don't think too much about it. Mu Gen talked to Jiang Wanmu, and listened carefully to the movement outside the courtyard, he was still a little uneasy, so he went out of the courtyard door to look outside, and then entered the courtyard door, and said to Jiang Wanmu: "Sister, I came to you because I have something to say to you." My mother is worried that Madame's eyes and ears will be staring at her, and it will be inconvenient for her to come and talk to you.
My father asked me to come over and tell you that if your family affairs are settled, our family is willing to be a member of your marriage and go out of the Jiang family with you. Dad said, 'It doesn't matter whether it's sweet or bitter in the days to come. With your temperament, you will only try to live a good life. The mother said, 'Although you are a young lady, she thinks of you more than me in her heart.' I must go out with you, no matter if the life is good or bad, she looks at you and feels at peace. ’”
Jiang Wanmu listened to Mu Gen's words and blinked her eyes vigorously. Seeing her like this, Mugen smiled and said, "I have been your brother for fourteen years, and I have never really protected you." I can follow you out of the Jiang family, and I am willing to do my best to protect you as much as I can. It's just that my sister, my brother is too useless to help you much. ”
Jiang Wanmu had already blinked the tears in her eyes vigorously, and when she listened to his words, she only dared to nod slightly. She looked at the young man, who was more than a month older than herself, and thought about what he had done for herself, and the actions of the guards. She choked up a little and said, "Okay, my father and my brother will go out of the Jiang family with me." Brother, with you with me, no matter how difficult life is, I will not be afraid. She looked up at Mugen and said, "Brother, thank you for helping me dad and nurse."
