Chapter 60: Family Affairs (1)

The summer afternoon breeze was blowing, Jiang Wanmu was wearing a blue cloth floral dress, her face was covered with sweat, and she entered the courtyard through the back door. The middle-aged steward was standing at the back door at this time, and when he saw her, he had a rare polite smile on his face, and greeted her and said, "Congratulations to the third lady!" Congratulations to Miss Xisan! Jiang Wanmu looked at the eagerness on his face, forcibly resisted the idea of taking three steps back, raised her head according to his words, and repeated flatly: "Congratulations on the steward, congratulations on the steward." ”

The steward was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he looked up at Jiang Wanmu again, unable to hide the regret and sympathy in his eyes. Jiang Wanmu raised her eyes slightly to see his expression for a moment, and when she saw that he immediately regained her composure, she smiled and said, "Thank you for the good words of the third lady." Jiang Wanmu swept over him indifferently, slowly swept past him and walked forward.

Jiang Wanmu walked slowly on the road, and the oncoming subordinates looked at her eyes, less indifferent than usual, and more curious. Jiang Wanmu endured the discomfort of everyone's strong attention, and pressed the confusion in her heart, and she walked slowly back to her yard. She pushed open the courtyard door, and was startled by the new tables and chairs placed in the courtyard.

Ji Yan heard the movement, ran out of the room, saw Jiang Wanmu standing in the courtyard, and said happily: "Miss, Aunt Xiao Jiang asked someone to send it." She said, 'Madame knew that the tables and chairs in the lady's room were old, and specially instructed her to bring the nanmu tables and chairs from the inventory in the house for the young lady to use. Jiang Wanmu glanced at Ji Yan's happy face, she reached out and touched the new table and chair, but there was an ominous feeling in her heart. She asked Ji Yan: "Ji Yan, does Xiao Jiang's family have anything else to convey to me?" ”

Ji Yan still nodded happily and said, "Yes, she said congratulations, Miss Hexi." Hee-hee, Miss, the old lady has found a good family for you, hee-hee, I heard that Miss's lover is the third son of a wealthy family. Jiang Wanmu stopped touching the table, she looked at Ji Yan's happy face, and asked flatly, "Are you going to be that person's concubine?" When Ji Yan heard this, he immediately put away the smile on his face unhappily, shook his head at Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, you are the young lady of the Jiang family, and you are the main room." ”

Jiang Wanmu chuckled a little bitterly when she heard her affirmative words. She looked at Ji Yan with an affirmative look on her face, and shook her head lightly past her. She was deeply skeptical that the Jiang family would let her marry into a good family. She walked lightly to her room, unlocked the door, and walked inside, taking a deep breath and reaching for the old table.

By the time she left the room again, the expression on her face had calmed. She glanced at the courtyard, looked around the tables and chairs, and walked over and said, "Don't look at it, although the sun is not big, it is still a little sunny." Let's go, move them back to the room, and you can take a closer look. When Ji Yan and Jiang Wanmu moved the tables and chairs, she woke up from the excitement, she kept looking at Jiang Wanmu's expression, and saw that there was not much joy on her face, and there was a slight look of surprise in her eyes.

When Jiang Wanmu was in the spring, she was still three points worried about her family affairs, and seven points afraid of being frightened. By the time the wind and waves came to summer, she had already thought about it carefully, and she couldn't change the fate of getting married, so she could only accept it indifferently. No matter what the Jiang family is, they always want a little bit of face from them, thinking about that person's family background, it will definitely not be too bad, and that person will naturally not be so bad that people can't wait to kill him. As soon as she figured it out, she ran outside calmly.

Jiang Wanmu tried to sit on the new chair, Ji Yan wiped the table with a cloth, and said with a sigh: "Miss, this table is close to smell, and you can smell the fragrance of new wood." Jiang Wanmu stood up with a smile and said to Ji Yan who was wiping the tabletop: "Then you wipe slowly, I'll go take a bath first." Hearing Jiang Wanmu's words, Ji Yan raised his head from the table, looked at Jiang Wanmu embarrassedly and said, "Miss, I heard your good news today, and I was so happy for a while that I forgot to boil hot water and prepare it there." You wait a minute, I'll go make a fire and boil water now. ”

Jiang Wanmu stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "I'll go and make a fire to boil the water by myself, I'll burn your share too, and after you finish wiping the tables and chairs carefully, you can come over to bathe." Ji Yan smiled happily and nodded, "Okay." Thank you, Miss. Ji Yan lowered his head and wiped the corner of the table with care, Jiang Wanmu smiled and walked out of the room, went to bathe in the corner of the room and made a fire on the stove to boil water.

Jiang Wanmu quickly did these things, and when the fire was lit, she cleaned the ashes on her hands, and cleaned the bath bucket by the way. When she came out of the shower room and was about to go back to her room to get clean clothes, she looked back at the fire in the stove. Take another look at the pot on the stove filled with water. She turned her head and thought that life is really unimaginable, when people push fate and have no way out, people's potential can naturally be exerted to the limit.

Jiang Wanmu was dry and sat in the room with the door open. Blowing the summer breeze that was gradually cooling, she looked down at the brand-new tables and chairs, and then turned her head to look at the old table in the corner, and instantly felt that it was easy to enter the luxury. After a while, she already felt that the old table was really miserable, and the new table and chair were comfortable to look at, and they were just as comfortable as they wanted to be.

Jiang Wanmu brought the pen, brought the water tray, comfortably dipped the pen in water, and wrote on the desktop with a brush, feeling like writing on smooth paper. The corners of her mouth bent slightly upward, and she was in a good mood to wipe the watermark on the desktop with a dry cloth, and once again wrote carefully. After Ji Yan finished bathing, when she walked to the door of Jiang Wanmu's room with a smile, she saw Jiang Wanmu writing on the table, and she frowned distressedly.

Jiang Wanmu rarely wrote vividly, she wrote for a while, until the dry cloth had become a wet cloth, the sky was getting dark, and Ji Yan had lit a candle, she was reluctant to put down the pen. Jiang Wanmu was in the light of the candle flame, and saw Ji Yan with a distressed and tangled face. She glanced at the darkening sky outside and asked, "Ji Yan, will your mother help us bring food tonight?" Ji Yan nodded and said, "Yes." My mother said that she was fine tonight, and she brought food. ”

Jiang Wanmu nodded after hearing this, and cleaned up the table. After Ji Yan placed the candlestick, she took the plate in Jiang Wanmu's hand. When Ji Yanniang personally brought the food over, her face was also beaming, and she smiled and said to Jiang Wanmu: "Congratulations, Miss Hexi, I have found a good family affair and a good person." Hehe, the steward has ordered that in the future, a good dish must be added to each meal of the young lady's meal. ”

She smiled and took out the dishes and laid them out on the table one by one. Only then did she notice the new table, and exclaimed again: "Madame is starting to use her heart for Mademoiselle now, and she still remembers to help Mademoiselle change a good table." Jiang Wanmu listened to Ji Yan's mother's words, thinking about this family matter, it sounded like it had been decided, so that everyone in the Jiang family knew that everyone was happy.

Ji Yan listened to her mother's words, and the hand that served the food accidentally slid lightly, and some of the vegetable water was poured out, but fortunately, her mother took it quickly. After Ji Liang Niang put the dishes away, she glared at her daughter and said, "After Miss gets married next year, I think Mrs. will let you follow her and continue to serve Miss." The family of a high-ranking family must be more important than the Jiang family to pay attention to the rules in everything. You can't be careless about what you do in the future, don't hurt yourself when the time comes, and hurt the young lady and the aunt to lose harmony. ”
