Chapter 17: The Knot of the Heart (3)
After Mugen's mother left, Jiang Wanmu sat in the room all the time, slowly sorting out her thoughts. Until she heard the sound of snow outside the yard, heard the sound of the door next door, and heard the voice of muttered words. She was seated at her desk with a literacy book on the table when there was a gentle knock on her door, and she whispered, "Come in." ”
Ji Yan gently pushed open the door, and after slowly coming in with his head down, he stood on the table and said in a low voice: "Miss, my brother has something to do with me, I want to go out for a while." Jiang Wanmu glanced at the auspicious words that seemed to have gold on the ground, and after a faint 'um', she stared at the literacy book in front of her. When Ji Yan heard the word 'um', he raised his head and glanced at Jiang Wanmu quickly, and said in a soft voice, "Miss, I will come back before dinner." ”
Jiang Wanmu didn't raise her head to answer her this time, but stared at the book in front of her, and her fingers were on the table, intentionally or unintentionally, slowly swiping. Ji Yan saw that Jiang Wanmu had no other expression on her face, so she hurriedly walked out of the door and closed the door gently. Ji Yan, who was standing outside the room, exhaled softly, and gently patted his little chest with his little hand. Her brother looked at her such a timid little appearance, his eyes darkened, and he looked at Jiang Wanmu's door.
The brother and sister walked out of the courtyard gate, and Ji Yan's little face had a little more smile. Ji Yan's brother Fang Zheng has been looking at his sister carefully, and when he saw his sister's relaxed expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Ji Yan, was the third lady embarrassed you in the room just now?" Ji Yan listened to his brother's words, looked at him in surprise and shook his head and said, "Miss has never been embarrassed by me. ”
Fang Zheng looked at her in disbelief, he always knew that this girl in his own house, since she was a child, she was like a frightened little mouse, others touched her twice, as long as she scared her a sentence and a half, she didn't dare to say to herself when she came back. After Fang Zheng thought about it, he was still a little uneasy, he saw that there was no one on the road, and said in a low voice: "Ji Yan, the third young lady is different from the other young masters and young ladies of the Jiang family, if you suffer any grievances from her, just tell your brother."
My brother knows the people around the eldest young master, and I can go and ask him then. He must be willing to help us say a few words in front of the eldest young master. After that happens, you won't have to follow Miss San in the future. Alas, my mother also said that you are a good thing, and you will be assigned to the courtyard of the third lady, and you will be the only girl, except for the third lady, no one will press you. In fact, the third lady alone can crush you to death, alas, you have this temperament, you still have to go to a place with a lot of people, at least you will always meet someone who has a friendship and will take care of you somewhat.
It would be best if you could return to the young lady, don't you say that the sisters in the lady's yard have a good temperament and treat you. As you said, all of those sisters can read and write, and all of them are very capable. Ji Yan heard what he said, shook his head vigorously, his little face was so red that he was about to ooze blood, but he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
When Fang Zheng saw his sister like this, he thought that she was deeply wronged, but he didn't dare to say it because he was timid. He sighed and said to her: "Ji Yan, you are young, and you don't need to come out to do things at home. It's just that Mrs. happened to take a fancy to you and thought that your name was good, and Miss Nengwang San. Now the third lady doesn't accept the love of Mrs., you don't have to help her. This matter can't be delayed for too long, and when the time comes, let Mrs. know, she won't blame the third lady for being uninteresting, but will blame you for not reporting it. ”
Ji Yan was finally able to speak at this time, and when he saw his brother, he continued to muttered indignantly, "Hmph, since you were assigned to the third lady's yard, my father and I have made your life by her side better, and we help her finish the heavy things in the yard every day." No wonder everyone calls her a nerd, she doesn't know people's hearts at all. Only Mugen's kid thinks that the third lady is good. ”
Ji Yan forgot what he was going to say, remembered what Fang Zheng had just said, reached out and grabbed Fang Zheng's arm, and asked, "Brother Mugen thinks Miss is good?" Fang Zheng looked at no one around, nodded to his sister-in-law, and said softly: "Don't reveal this matter, Mugen thinks he can hide it, but in fact, I have already seen through it." You didn't get to the third lady's yard, he pulled the third lady to hide in the corner outside the yard and talk. Bumped into me twice. I thought that everyone grew up together, and I reminded him.
Although his mother has breasted Miss Three, Miss Three is still Miss in the end, not his own sister-in-law. He didn't need to be so attentive to the third young lady, if he knew to the young masters, his family would not have a good time in the Jiang family. After Fang Zheng said this, he immediately remembered his little sister, who had been very close to Mugen since he was a child.
He looked down at Ji Yan carefully, saw her little face hanging down, and complained softly: "Brother Mugen always says that I have little, and I have nothing to say." But I have more words than Miss. These days, I see the young lady in the room all day long, I go in and out, and she will say two or three words to me at most. Fang Zheng heard the meaning of the girl's words, looked at her in surprise and said, "Ji Yan, you are still young, you have to find someone to talk to, and my brother will accompany you." ”
Hearing this, Ji Yan raised his head and looked at his brother, thought about it and said to him, "Brother, don't go to someone to talk to the eldest young master. Miss, she didn't think I was young, and sometimes I did wrong things, and she didn't scold me. Every time I see Miss, I somehow feel so nervous, I think Miss just doesn't like to talk, there is no expression on her face, in fact, she understands everything in her heart. ”
As long as his sister is fine, Fang Zheng smiled and listened to his kind sister. He didn't have any curiosity about the nerd Miss Three, anyway, in this house, the Third Miss was too inconspicuous. If it weren't for her biological mother, Aunt Yu, it is estimated that it would be many years before the people in the house could remember such a person.
Jiang Wanmu stayed in the room for a while, opened the door and looked outside, feeling that it was still early, and thought about walking out of the room. Slowly walked out of the courtyard gate, casually stepping on the snow, looking back at the footprints she had stepped on one after another, she slowed down slightly interestingly, and then walked far away.
"Third sister." She vaguely heard Jiang Wenqi's scream, but the snowflakes fell on her face, and she felt that she had misheard it for a while. After a while, at the turn in front, there was another cry of "three sisters". Jiang Wanmu stood still and looked up, and saw Jiang Wenqi waving to herself in the corner, she quickly glanced back, and after seeing that there was no one around, she hurriedly ran over, and said in a small voice: "Wen Qi, such a big snow." What are you doing out there? ”
When Jiang Wenqi saw her coming, he smiled and took out the booklet with warmth in his arms, handed it to Jiang Wanmu and said, "Third sister, didn't you say last time that you wanted to understand the laws and regulations of marriage. Well, there's a record in this booklet, so read it quickly. In five days, I'm going to take it back and return it. ”
Jiang Wanmu took the booklet like a treasure, opened it and saw that it was a manuscript, she was a little stunned for a while, looked at Jiang Wenqi and said, "Is the thing in this booklet reliable?" Jiang Wenqi glared at her and said, "Naturally reliable, those formal laws and regulations are only available to government officials." The matter of laws and regulations, even if the plagiarist does not dare to make a mistake. If this matter is investigated, it will be a great sin. Feel free to watch. ”
Jiang Wanmu nodded with a smile after hearing this, thinking that she was a little worried that she would not understand some words thoroughly, so she said to Jiang Wenqi: "If I have something I can't understand, I'll write it down, and you can think about it in the future, carry people behind your back, and help me ask your husband." After hearing this, Jiang Wenqi nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Mr. is talented, he knows everything." Before he left, he said, "Third sister, don't wander outside, this snowy day, people can see farther than usual." Jiang Wanmu smiled and said, "Hmm." After the two broke up, they walked quickly in their own directions.
