Chapter 10 The Secret That Can't Be Said
Mu Gen Niang heard Jiang Wanmu's words, glanced at her, and said with a little excitement: "Miss, Mu Gen is a month older than you, he is not young, it is time to follow his father for a long time." Going out today is a good thing, it was Xiao Jiang's steward who specially told his father, saying that Mugen knew some words and could use it when he went out. I heard that I was following the steward and sending gifts before the New Year's Festival to the houses close to me. This thing has a long face, and sometimes when you meet the owner, you can also get a reward. ”
Jiang Wanmu glanced at Mugen's mother, who was obviously happy in her heart, and looked at her face with a calm appearance, smiled slightly and lowered her head to look at the book on the table. Mugen's mother was very happy that her son could get the help of the steward at a young age, but she still had Jiang Wanmu in her eyes. She followed her gaze, smiled and looked down at the table, where she saw a book on it. She looked at the book with a cautious face and asked Jiang Wanmu, "Miss, is this the book that Fourth Young Master Lian gave you today?" Does he know you know how to read? ”
Jiang Wanmu glanced at Mugen's mother, who was full of joy and a little bit of spring, she glanced at the books on the table, shook her head lightly and said, "Fourth Young Master Lian is just worried that I can't read, so he specially sent me a literacy book." Jiang Wanmu didn't mention it to Mugen's mother, from the first time they met, she knew that the fourth young master of the Lian family was disappointed in her mediocre appearance, because that young man couldn't hide the loss in his eyes.
It is human nature for young people to covet beauty. Jiang Wanmu didn't feel disappointed in the fourth young master of the Lian family because of this. After all, she deeply understood that with her current situation in the Jiang family, the fourth young master of the Lian family was her best choice in the future. What's more, no matter how disappointed the fourth young master of the Lian family was with this family matter, he still showed the good cultivation of the children of famous families on the surface.
Jiang Wanmu could feel his efforts to make up for this family affair from the small gift he sent later. He came to Jiang's house to see Jiang Wanmu again, and when he faced her, he was quite polite and polite. He brought Jiang Wanmu two small picture albums, which were painted with common items in daily life, and were accompanied by corresponding words. Jiang Wanmu opened the two albums in front of him, looked up to understand the helplessness of this young man, and at the same time deeply felt that he didn't want an illiterate wife in his heart.
The fourth young master Lian came over this time, and in front of the two girls sent by his mother-in-law, he deliberately pointed to the words on the two albums and asked Jiang Wanmu. When he heard Jiang Wanmu answer them one by one, his young face was full of pride as a new teacher. And the two girls sent by her mother-in-law, when they saw Jiang Wanmu answering the two physical picture albums, they had to pause for a minute when they answered a word, and they looked down on her a little in their hearts. The two of them thought that no one was paying attention, so they exchanged glances with each other, and they both raised their eyes to look at Jiang Wanmu with some disdain.
Even the fourth young master saw the eyes of the two girls, and the more considerate and careful he pointed to the words on the album and explained to Jiang Wanmu. Seeing her behaving like this, Jiang Wanmu originally wanted to follow the crowd and didn't have any expectations for this kind of marriage contract. Now that he saw the actions of the fourth young master of the Lian family, he suddenly felt that in the future, there would be such a person, maybe he would not be too sad, at least the person in front of him was quite sympathetic.
Jiang Wanmu looked at the literacy book on the desktop, and secretly thought that according to the law of gift-giving like the fourth young master of Lian, the next time he came to the Jiang family, there was a chance that he would give her pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Mu Gen's mother looked at Jiang Wanmu with some puzzlement, and said in a soft voice: "Miss, why don't you find an opportunity to whisper to the fourth young master of Tonglian, you are literate and can also write?" I think he'll be quite happy to know that. ”
Jiang Wanmu heard her sudden words, and was so frightened that she hurriedly looked up at Mugen's mother, and saw her with a serious look. After Jiang Wanmu thought about it for a while, she explained to her with a cautious face, and said, "Nurse, I have long been able to read and write, no matter what, except for the four of you, I must not let the fifth person know."
If this matter is exposed, the Jiang family will definitely not let me live, and I will give a small life because of this matter. But among them, Young Master Wen Qi is the most innocent person, he is young, smart and wise, and if he endures in the Jiang family for a few more years, with his growing talent, he will definitely have a good future. I can't let him secretly kill someone early because of his kindness to teach me to read and write, and I won't be willing to do it in that case. ”
Mu Genniang heard Jiang Wanmu say so seriously, and her face turned slightly pale. whispered: "Miss, the three of us will never mention this matter to others, and we are counting on Miss to have a better life after she gets married." As long as Miss's life is better, we will naturally have a better life in the future. Young Master Wen Qi is the benefactor of my family's Mugen literacy, and Mugen can only know a few words because of him. Mugen reminded me a long time ago, and when he was outside, he said, 'Because he is curious, he learns to read and write from others.' ’”
Jiang Wanmu listened to this, her heart relaxed slightly, she knew that Mu Gen had a good character, but she had always been extremely obedient to what she reminded. She raised her eyes to look at Mugen's mother again, and saw that although she spoke like this, between her eyebrows, she couldn't hide her frustration. Jiang Wanmu's mind turned slightly, knowing that she had just mentioned that sentence, and she was also thinking about herself. The true intention of the fourth young master of the Lian family to send these gifts, I think she understands it somewhat in her heart. She just hoped that she would take the opportunity to make the young man look at her.
Jiang Wanmu glanced at Mugen's mother, and didn't want her to dwell on this matter. smiled and explained her, and said, "Nurse, think about it, the fourth young master of the Lian family must have known women outside, and most of those women must know more than me." This literacy and writing are not important to marriage, the important thing is that the two families can recognize this family business. Even if the fourth young master is such a shallow person, it would be good for me to recognize it as soon as possible, and I can also know how I should live in the future. ”
Mu Genniang heard Jiang Wanmu say this, and saw her face with an indifferent look of resignation. She felt wronged for Jiang Wanmu in her heart, and felt that her young lady was sensible and reasonable, and acted assertively, except for the poor appearance, there was almost nothing that was wrong. However, after getting along with each other for all these years, she also understands that Jiang Wanmu is an assertive person, and she will act steadily before starting. When she faced Jiang Wanmu, she often felt that she was facing an adult, not at all like a little woman of a few years old.
Mu Genniang has been close to her for a few years, and she is particularly convinced of Jiang Wanmu. Although she listened to the Jiang family, they all thought that Jiang Wanmu was climbing the fourth young master of the Lian family, only she felt that her own young lady was suitable for the fourth young master of Lian, and it was the fourth young master Lian who was lucky to get such a good wife. No matter how much Mugen's mother's mind turned, Jiang Wanmu didn't know. She reminded her in a soft voice: "Nurse, Ji Yan's deed of sale is in my hands, but her family is the son of the Jiang family. Next time, it's better to carry her on your back. ”
Mu Genniang opened her mouth to speak, thinking about it or believing Jiang Wanmu's words. She remembered that when Jiang Wanmu was four years old, she said to her about children talking to adults: "Nurse, I can only be stupid and not smart, so that I can grow up safely in the Jiang family." In the four years that Mugen grew up in Jiang Wanmu, she also vaguely felt that the Jiang family's housewife could only tolerate such a Jiang Wanmu.
