Chapter 19: Festive
The return of the eldest couple of the Jiang family brought the first wave of reunion to the Jiang family. Not long afterward, the second elder couple of the Jiang family also came with news that they were already on their way back, which brought the second wave of joy to the Jiang family. When Mr. Jiang was young, he was released as an official, and he said that he had a brother at home who was filial, so he took his family to live in other places. Every few years, the couple would come back with their children for the New Year. This time, I missed my mother at home, and I also came back with my eldest son's family before the year.
When Mr. and Mrs. Jiang returned home, they met Mrs. Jiang for the first time. Second Master Jiang smiled and coaxed Mrs. Jiang and said, "It's the New Year, let's accompany my mother to welcome the New Year, and I also think that I should listen to my brother's advice." These words made Mrs. Jiang very happy, and said to Mr. Jiang who was accompanying her, "Look at your younger brother, this unproductive appearance." He's the same as ever. You have to train him well. ”
Master Jiang glanced at his younger brother who looked back proudly, and at his smiling mother, and nodded happily. Master Jiang is quite speechless about his younger brother, the good thing is that this younger brother has been naughty since he was a child, but he has never been a fool when it comes to major matters. Over the years, his reputation and official reputation have been quite good.
Master Jiang and Second Master Jiang accompanied Mrs. Jiang to talk for a while, and the two brothers said goodbye and went to the study together. Second Master Jiang waved his hand to the followers behind him, and those people quickly dodged away. The people who followed Master Jiang had the same vision of Mingli, and after getting the acquiescence of Master Jiang, they were also faster and farther.
Master Jiang looked at Second Master Jiang's expression and asked, "You change your mind and return home a year early." But what do you want to tell me? Hearing this, Second Master Jiang nodded, approached his brother and said, "Big brother, have you heard any news from the Yu family?" Master Jiang thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I haven't been back for long, and I haven't heard any major movements in the Yu family in the past two years." ”
Second Master Jiang looked back, and saw that his family was following from afar, and said softly to Master Jiang with confidence: "Brother, I heard an official below me say that in the generation of the Yu family, there are two teenagers who are particularly outstanding. Second Master Jiang didn't say much, he had already told what he knew. He remembered that Yu had to marry Jiang Anhe back then, and he remembered it vividly. Although the two families have become relatives, they have also become enemies.
After hearing this, Master Jiang sighed lightly and said: "Zhancai, although the things of the past, although An He was wrong, but the daughter of the Yu family was also wrong. It's just that up to now, the Yu family only remembered that the Jiang family harmed them, and they didn't think that Yu Xixi almost made the Jiang family uneasy. If it weren't for his mother's righteousness, Anhe's official reputation would have been buried from now on. Yu Xiaoxiao's temperament, how can she be a housewife? Alas, don't say that the Yu family complains about our family, I see that the Yu family also has a temper. ”
Second Master Jiang sighed the same when he heard this, but he still whispered to Master Jiang: "Brother, the Yu family loved Yu very much back then. Although she makes them sad, they are a family after all, you still have the idea to talk to An He, at least on the surface, to coax Yu carefully. The feud between the two families cannot be deepened, and it is best to fade it slowly. ”
Master Jiang glanced at Second Master Jiang, nodded heavily, and said, "I understand what you mean." It's just that now, I'm afraid that I can only be satisfied with food and clothing. The daughter born to Yu Xian has made an oral marriage contract to Zimo, the fourth young master of the Lian family, and waited until Wanyi and Wanxian's family affairs were settled. They will then make a paper and set a date. No matter what, she is always a girl of the Jiang family. An He's wife did a good job in this regard. ”
And Jiang Wanmu, who was sitting in the room, was listening to Ji Yan talk about the second master Jiang's family at this time, and saw her gesturing with her hand and said: "Miss, the second master looks like the eldest master, but the second master is smiling, he is not as scary as the eldest master." It's just that he didn't reward us like the old man. Ji Yan said that in the back, he was a little disappointed that he didn't get the reward.
Jiang Wanmu didn't know much about the Jiang family's affairs, but as Mu Gen got older in the past two years, after he had more contact, he sometimes mentioned some Jiang family affairs with Jiang Wanmu. Master Jiang is an official named by the Son of Heaven to go out, as long as he does not make a mistake, he will definitely return to Beijing in a few years. And the second master Jiang was his superior, an official sent to other places.
Ji Yan saw that Jiang Wanmu had no joy on her face, and after thinking about it for a while, she felt that she had lost her mouth. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang came back for a few days and saw a group of grandchildren, but they didn't mention Jiang Wanmu. Ji Yan glanced at Jiang Wanmu's indifferent and peaceful eyes, thought about it and whispered to Jiang Wanmu again, and said with a slight twist: "Miss, the eldest young master has a good concubine again, I heard that the master mother is also happy to arrange the room." ”
Jiang Wanmu laughed dumbly when she heard this, her mother-in-law was a rare and generous wife. The Jiang family will indeed arrange Jiang Anhe's wife candidate, which will be replaced by Yu Xian as his wife, with her temperament, these concubines are all eyesore. Jiang Wanmu thought of Yu Xian, and then thought of what Mu Genniang came to say last night, "Miss, Aunt Yu is not in good health these days. ”
Jiang Wanmu thought that the Jiang family was now festive, and probably no one would think of their mother and daughter. And Yu has been careful all these years, I don't know if I have figured it out, or my heart is dead. Two years earlier, she was going to marry Wen Chun, who was going to marry by her side, and Jiang Wanmu, who quietly went over to see her, said, "I don't want to see her again." The two of us see each other less, which is good for each other. When Jiang Wanmu heard these words, she immediately froze there, and after a long time, she felt that she was too self-inflicted.
Jiang Wanmu glanced at Ji Yan who was staring at herself, thought of Yu Xi's frustration, and then thought of the current bustle of the Jiang family. She said to Ji Yan: "I'm fine here, you go and see your mother." Don't be too eye-catching, so that many people will see you. Ji Yan didn't move when she heard Jiang Wanmu's words, but raised her eyes to look at her, lowered her head and rubbed her hands, raised her head for a while and said, "Miss, I'll accompany you to take a look from afar?" ”
Jiang Wanmu looked at her and shook her head, and said, "You go out, I want to be quiet for a while." Ji Yan turned around and looked back, only to see Jiang Wanmu lowering her eyes, her long eyelashes reflecting down, with an elegant and demure temperament. The door closed quietly, and at the same time closed Jiang Wanmu's heart with a heavy sigh.
When Jiang Wanmu heard Mu Genniang mention Yu Xixi, a crying face always appeared in front of her. After Mu Genniang said this that day, she immediately said to Jiang Wanmu: "Miss, Miss Qianchun just wants you to know the situation, but she doesn't want you to go to see Aunt Yu." She is also worried that when Aunt Yu sees you, she will cry bitterly again, which will hurt her body. ”
Jiang Wanmu nodded to Mu Genniang, and then asked, "Nurse, have you ever seen Aunt Yu up close in the past two years?" Mugen Niang shook her head and said, "I see that Miss Wenchun has a lot of time, and she always has to come to the kitchen, and sometimes she has to cook some soups. Aunt Yu has not been out of the yard easily over the years. Miss Wenchun also said that in the past, when she was in the Yu family, everyone said that Aunt Yu was the pistachio in the family. Who knew that within two years of entering the Jiang family, he cried endlessly. ”
Jiang Wanmu also sighed when she thought of Yu Xixi, the party was going to walk into a dead end, and no one could help her. At this time, she missed her mother in her previous life, which was a woman who was strong as a mother. After losing her marriage, she can treat her daughter with a smile until she meets another good match. And the mother of this life was killed in her mother's family. After being frustrated, I only remember to cry for myself, forgetting that I still have a young girl who is not self-reliant.
