Chapter 61: Family Affairs (2)
Jiang Wanmu listened to Ji Yan's mother's words, and a stunned look appeared on her face, and then she suddenly came to her senses again. The Jiang family is a famous family, but listening to the meaning of Ji Yanniang's words, his own family affairs are somewhat like the Jiang family climbing others. She turned to think calmly, her own family business, I am afraid that there is something hidden in the depths, and it will not be as beautiful as it appears on the surface.
Jiang Wanmu's heart sank, and her face turned a little pale. If the Jiang family is a high-ranking family, and they set up such a famous Miss Fool as themselves, they can imagine how bleak their future life will be. It sounds like the two families have already talked about everything quite properly, and the date of marriage seems to have been set. Now there is only oneself, the party, who is still in a daze.
Ji Yan's small face showed an unbelievable expression for the first time, and she felt the majesty of the high-ranking family for the first time. Jiang Wanmu looked up at Ji Yan, who looked like she was eating bitter melon, and listened to her ask with some disbelief: "Mother, I heard that Miss will marry into a high-ranking family like the Jiang family, why did this news come out of the mouth of her mother, like Miss is going to marry a great family." Mother, have you inquired carefully, which family is the young lady promised? ”
When Ji Yanniang heard Ji Yan's words, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She glanced at Jiang Wanmu, who was pale and calm, and then at Ji Yan with a bitter gourd face, and asked, "Madam, didn't she send someone to talk to Miss about this family business?" Jiang Wanmu nodded lightly, and Ji Yan nodded vigorously and said, "When Aunt Xiao Jiang came, Miss was not in the yard. She told me that the young lady promised a high family and was a good family. At that time, I only remembered being happy for Miss, and I didn't remember to ask more for a while. ”
After Ji Yanniang heard Ji Yan's words, her expression changed slightly, and she groaned for a while. She glanced at the courtyard door that was still open, and she said to Ji Yan, "You go and close the courtyard door first, and by the way, see if anyone is coming outside?" Hearing this, Ji Yan hurriedly ran out, and after a while she closed the courtyard door and ran over to her mother and nodded.
Ji Yanniang looked at Jiang Wanmu sitting at the table, and saw her blank eyes, she whispered to Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, you eat first." Let me think carefully about how I want to talk to you. Jiang Wanmu looked up at her, looked at Ji Yan who was standing at the table, and said, "Ji Yan come and sit down and eat together." Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan began to eat, Ji Yanniang sat a little farther away from the table, she kept her back to them, and her eyes looked out of the door.
Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan had a hasty meal, and then began to clean up the table. After Ji Yanniang heard the movement, she stood up as if she had just woken up from a dream and came over to help clean up together. After wiping the tabletop, Ji Yan went to the room next to him, brought three clean bowls, and brought a coarse kettle, and poured well water into the three bowls.
Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yanniang sat at the table, Ji Yan stood aside, and under Jiang Wanmu's signal, she sat next to her mother. Ji Yanniang looked at Jiang Wanmu and said in a deep voice: "Ji Yan's father and I originally hoped that our children could live safely by relying on the Jiang family. After Ji Yan was born, her father was very happy and said to me, 'The Jiang family treats people well, and we are the sons of the Jiang family. When Ji Yan grows up, I just hope that she will be safe, and then we will ask the master for a gift and a good little girl. ’
Ji Yan has been timid since she was a child, and we husband and wife want to have us and her brother, and we don't want her to be very capable. I just hope that when she grows up, she will be trained by the stewards and be able to follow the wives and do rough work. It's just that I didn't expect Madame to hear Ji Yan's name by chance, and she decided to send her to Miss's side. Ji Yanniang's face showed the expression of disbelief when she heard the news. The third lady of the Jiang family is by the side of the Jiang family, for the people of the Jiang family, it is a place that must not be visited.
Ji Yanniang was talking in person, thinking of the sourness in her heart at that time, she couldn't help wiping the tears with her sleeve. After she calmed down, she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Wanmu who was listening, looking at her calm expression, she thought about it and continued: "Her father and her brother are rough people, so they thought about taking the initiative to help the young lady carry water every morning and finish the heavy work in the yard. If the young lady can read this good, it will be better to treat Jiyan in the future. When Ji Yan returned to Miss from his wife's yard, we still didn't worry about her young age.
Every day, I took the opportunity to bring food to her and came over to check on her. Miss, over the years, our family has been thanking you for using that method to protect Jiyan's safety. is willing to carry a vicious name on her back, let Ji Yan outside, and not many people pay attention to her. In fact, from the day Ji Yan came to you, our family was in the same boat as Miss. Miss, Ji Yan's father and brother asked me to tell you, 'If you have anything, give me a command.' They will do their best. ’”
Jiang Wanmu looked at Ji Yan's mother with a look of affirmation, she reached out and pressed her foreheads on both sides, and said in a soft voice: "The Jiang family will not help me book a good family business." If this family business is the Jiang family's high climbing. Then I will be quite sad after I get married. Ji Yan was by my side for a few years, and I had to take her with me. But you have another way to go. Besides, I don't know how Madame will arrange for the people around me when she arrives. ”
Ji Yanniang looked at Jiang Wanmu and did not refuse, she leaned in and whispered: "Miss, the eldest lady has four rooms to marry." The second lady has three rooms to marry. Our family voluntarily followed you out of the Jiang family, no matter what happens in the future, we just need to be together as a family. When Jiang Wanmu heard this, she just sighed slightly and said, "I'll let you think about this matter again, I want to know now, what happened today?" Let everyone misunderstand that I have a good family. ”
When Ji Yanniang heard this, she smiled and whispered: "Today, two families sent official media to propose marriage to the young ladies. Because the two cases that came were both official media. We, the subordinates, couldn't find out the conclusive news for a while. It's just that the people from Madame's yard, when they came to order the menu, she mentioned it slightly, and said, "The family affairs of Miss Three and Miss Four have now been booked." The third lady booked a high-ranking family. He also said that the third lady's family affairs, the two families will live in the next two days, and they will get married by the end of next year at the latest. ’”
Jiang Wanmu didn't say much after hearing this, she just nodded to Ji Yanniang and said, "Thank you for coming over to remind me of this, let me know a little bit in my heart." You don't need to inquire about anything for the time being, and I will talk about it when the family affairs are decided. Ji Yan looked at the tiredness in Jiang Wanmu's eyes, she stretched out her hand to push her mother and said, "Mother, my daughter has needlework and wants to ask you, you can go to my room with me." Ji Yanniang stood up, and she picked up the lunch box placed on the table.
Jiang Wanmu took the water and drank it, and after Ji Yanniang and Ji Yan went out, she gently closed her door. After the door was closed lightly, Jiang Wanmu put the bowl in her hand farther away, and she immediately fell on the table, closing her eyes weakly. It sounds like a natural family affair, but what must be hidden?
