Chapter 496: A Quiet Transformation (2)
On the morning of the second day before the New Year's Festival, a few children from the Chu Mansion returned to the house, and after the children reluctantly said goodbye and left, the general's mansion began to talk about the New Year. There are many guests in the mansion, and during the New Year's Festival, it is impossible for even Hao and Jiang Wanmu's family to be in the mansion every day.
After Jiang Wanmu sent away a few children from Chu Mansion, she went to the reception room and summoned the stewards to come over to discuss the New Year's Festival. For the first time since the opening of the General's Mansion, there was a New Year's atmosphere, and the stewards were all overjoyed. Everyone participated, some mentioned some old practices in the palace, and some mentioned how other families celebrated the New Year. In short, ** is not far from ten, the main line is roughly the same, and the idea is to have a lively New Year's Festival. The masters of the General's Mansion, on the day of the New Year's reunion, will go to the Lian Wangfu early in the morning to reunite with the elders.
After the meeting ended, Jiang Wanmu stayed to talk to the four women who were related to the housekeeper, and she said to them with a smile: "During the New Year's Festival, there are guests in the house, and I hope you will work hard to satisfy the guests." Let the guests eat, drink, have fun, and have a good New Year's Day. The four women in charge of the kitchen laughed, and the woman in charge of the kitchen smiled and nodded, and said, "Master, I will try to make the guests eat well." The other three women laughed when they heard her words, and after they looked at Jiang Wanmu's expression, the lady in charge of the guest house spoke up, "Your work is too easy compared to mine. Guests want to play well, in and out of the safe, it is really hard work. ”
The women in charge all have sharp eyes, and they have already understood that Jiang Wanmu is looking cold, but in fact, she is honest from the bottom of her heart. As long as there is no chaos in them, and the wind and rain in the house are smooth, Jiang Wanmu generally will not seriously control them. After the business was done, they sometimes joked with each other, and Jiang Wanmu was obviously full of interest. The women in charge are all top-notch people, and they will be clever in this regard, so that the masters will have the opportunity to pay more attention to them. Jiang Wanmu smiled and listened to their back and forth after a few words, she picked up the cup. When the four stewards were about to say goodbye, they heard a commotion outside.
Jiang Wanmu's face was obviously a little unhappy, and the four housekeeper women hurriedly spoke, "Master, let's go out and take a look at the matter." After Jiang Wanmu nodded, the four housekeepers and women went out, and the two of them came in with a panicked look, and Hua Kai hurriedly said, "Master, the palace will send a car to pick up the masters and go to the mansion." The carriage stopped at the door of the main courtyard. Jiang Wanmu had a look of surprise on her face, she stood up and asked in a low voice, "What's going on over there?" The two of them walked over, and after looking at Jiang Wanmu's clothes, the two exchanged glances. Hualuo whispered: "Master, the general has gone to invite the two little masters, I'll go and see the little masters first." ”
The three of them hurried out of the room, and in the courtyard of the council's house, there were many servants. When the woman who wanted to come to the steward came out, they stood aside sensibly. Jiang Wanmu looked at the seven or eight girls in the courtyard, her brows furrowed, and she once again felt that there were too many idlers in the general's mansion. Sooner or later, something will happen. Before it broke out, she had to think of ways to send some people out. Out of the courtyard gate, I saw two carriages at the gate of the main courtyard from a distance, and Hualuo had hurriedly trotted over. Jiang Wanmu looked at Lian Hao who was hurrying over, his expression was rare and a little hurried, he saw Jiang Wanmu coming over, and said a word to the woman in charge beside him. He immediately turned his head and walked back.
The housekeeper's woman trotted over and said anxiously to Jiang Wanmu, "Madam, the general asks you to get into the carriage first, and he will come into the room to help you take out the coat for the door." Jiang Wanmu looked at the woman in charge with a confused face and asked, "What's going on in the palace?" The steward's wife shook her head and said, "Madam, the steward beside the prince has come to pick you up in person, and I am far away and windy, so I have not heard anything." Jiang Wanmu strode forward. When I heard her say 'It's windy', there was a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth. She nodded and said, "After we go to the palace, you can watch more about the affairs in the palace." The steward woman smiled and nodded and nodded.
Jiang Wanmu said to Hua Kai beside her: "Hua Kai, I see that something is wrong, you go to the palace with us." You pay more attention to the affairs of the two little masters. After Jiang Wanmu walked over, she had already seen the person sitting in a carriage in front of her, Lian Hao stretched out his hand to pull her into the car, and directly ordered: "Drive." The carriage started immediately, and Jiang Wanmu, who had just gotten into the carriage and had never stood firm, immediately pounced on Lian Hao's side. Lian Hao and Jiang Feiyang stretched out their hands to support her, Jiang Wanmu sat down firmly under their support, she saw that the two children around her had obvious resentment on their faces, she hurriedly asked: "Feiyang, lazy, who made you angry?" ”
Jiang Feiyang and Jiang Lazy's eyes fell on Lian Hao, who was sitting opposite, and Jiang Lazy said in a low voice: "Mother, Daddy is too much, before Niang came in and sat down, he ordered to drive, and almost caused his mother to fall." Jiang Feiyang said with a cold face: "Daddy, you usually teach us not to panic first when we encounter problems, but you are panicking today." Jiang Wanmu looked at Lian Hao's obviously confused look, she stretched out her hand to pull the two children who were upset with her, she smiled and said, "Mother is fine, your father will not let your mother fall in front of him." Concern is chaos. ”
Jiang Wanmu was not wrong in what she said, after Lian Hao pulled her up, he never let go of his hand, otherwise Jiang Feiyang's strength alone would not be able to help her. Lian Hao stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Wanmu to the opposite side, and said to the two children with a calm face: "Your old grandfather's health is a little bad, he wants to see the two of you, you must be more disciplined when you speak to your old grandfather." Jiang Wanmu looked at Lian Hao in surprise, she had heard that the old prince's body was much better, and she also went out to meet some old friends. Lian Hao secretly held her hand and whispered: "When I woke up this morning, something was wrong with my grandfather, and after finishing the meal, he fell down directly, and he has never woken up until now." ”
Jiang Wanmu held Lian Hao's hand instead, and she whispered, "Don't be too anxious, the old prince is a person who can stand things." A lot of thoughts flashed in Lian Hao's eyes, and he whispered: "A few months ago, he had already fainted like this once, but he woke up soon. Later, after the eldest brother found out, he inquired with the doctor in the palace and said that such a thing should not be done too many times, and it is easy to break people if you don't pay attention. In the past few months, he has added meticulous people around him, and the palace doctor has been giving him medicine, and people are much better. Alas, during this New Year's Festival, I didn't expect to faint again, and I wanted to come 、、、"
Lian Hao would never say such a trivial matter, Jiang Wanmu clenched his hand hard. The carriage drove directly from the side gate of the palace to the gate of the old prince's courtyard, and after Lian Hao got out of the carriage first, he rushed to the courtyard. Jiang Wanmu jumped out of the carriage and turned her head to pick up Jiang Feiyang's brother and sister to get off the carriage, and the little faces of the two brothers and sisters once again showed angry expressions. Jiang Wanmu bent down and reminded them in a low voice: "Feiyang, lazy, if there is anything, you don't have to put it on your face." Jiang Feiyang and Jiang Lazy restrained the expressions on their faces, and the two reached out to clasp Jiang Wanmu's hand and said, "Mother, you have the two of us." ”
Jiang Wanmu's heart swelled with warmth, she smiled at the two sensitive-minded children, and said with a smile: "Well, my mother has you." After the carriage drove away, Jiang Wanmu's mother and son stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and all three of them had embarrassed looks on their faces. Lian Hao came out of it and saw the same expression on the three faces, and after his eyes shrank slightly, he said with a relaxed expression: "Come in." It's a scare. Jiang Wanmu looked at the look on his face, and took the two children into the courtyard, Lian Hao led the way in front, he turned around and explained with a smile: "Grandfather has been awake for a while, and now he is sitting in the living room, everyone is there, he wants to see you." ”
Jiang Wanmu smiled faintly, her eyes swept over the people waiting in the courtyard, and her eyes darkened. The old prince didn't have the heart to see her, she was just a passer. They entered the warm living room, the old prince was half lying on the couch, the old princess was sitting on his side, the prince was guarding beside him, and the others were slightly scattered and sitting around, whispering one by one. Jiang Wanmu's mother and son came in, and the eyes of the old prince and the old princess roamed over her, projecting directly to Jiang Feiyang's brother and sister. Jiang Wanmu took the two children to greet the two old men, and after hearing their answers, she quickly looked up at the two of them before stepping back.
There are signs of time, and they are obviously much older. The old princess left two children, Jiang Wanmu took the initiative to retreat to the last position and sat down, and even the second lady looked at her with a smile and said, "Wanmu, are you very busy these days?" Jiang Wanmu saw her close demeanor, shook her head with a smile and said, "Almost, when it comes to the New Year's Festival, there are more things than usual." A few days ago, Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Lian Erye couldn't help but ask her for a text panel, and Jiang Wanmu tactfully told them that she could send the text to them, but she couldn't deliver it directly to them, and it had to be delivered by the hand of the shopkeeper of a bookstore, which was the rule of the trade.
Mrs. Lian Erye looked at the noisy people around the couch, and she said, "Wanmu, I was too annoying to you last time, and I deserve it." Jiang Wanmu smiled and said, "Second lady, it's a gesture, you don't have to take it too seriously." Even the second lady knew that there was no Jiang Wanmu's handwriting in the general's mansion, she looked at Jiang Wanmu's expression, and whispered: "Wanmu, if you have anything difficult in the future, just say it, I will definitely reach out to help if I can help." Jiang Wanmu's eyebrows flashed, she heard the meaning of Mrs. Lian's words, and said with a little gratitude: "Thank you." ”
The old prince said a word, and everyone around laughed, and even the second master's wife stood up, she motioned for Jiang Wanmu to step forward, and Jiang Wanmu shook her head lightly. Jiang Feiyang's brother and sister quickly retreated, and the two nested beside Jiang Wanmu, Jiang Wanmu looked at the children of Lian Wangfu sitting opposite, and she whispered, "You go and sit with your brothers and sisters." Jiang Feiyang's brother and sister shook their heads, and Jiang Lazy whispered: "Mother, the old grandfather can't stand the noise, let's sit with my mother." Jiang Wanmu stretched out her hand to shake the hands of the two children, she looked at the people around the couch with feeling, she felt that she was sitting here, like an outsider, fortunately, she still had two children.
