The eldest lady, Jiang, arrived three days later. There were four or five carriages in a line, at least twelve or thirteen of the maids, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and there were also family nurses. Such a large group of people poured into Gu Zhuang, and the news immediately spread throughout the Gu family's rooms.

But the eldest lady naturally didn't care about the clansmen, as soon as she entered the house, she immediately rushed to see the youngest son Wen An, who was still "recuperating", cried for a long time, scolded the people waiting around Wen An, and then asked someone to pull out the two mothers she personally sent to her son to wait for 20 boards, and replaced the maids next to her son with the girls she brought back, intending to kick them out. In the end, it was Wen An who was so good at talking that he barely kept his girl, but he still let them each suffer ten boards.

After Jiang was busy with this, he went to meet his mother-in-law, Mrs. Yu, accompanied by the concubine Duan who came to greet him.

Old Mrs. Yu didn't like it in her heart, blaming her for not knowing etiquette, and she didn't go to greet herself first when she got home, but she thought that she was concerned about her son, so she didn't put her annoyance on her face, and said lightly: "Why are you here?" You've always been in bad health, so why bother running around like this? ”

Jiang's tears poured out at once: "The injury is in the son's body, and the pain is in the mother's heart." Xiao Qi was injured, and the sixth girl was wronged so much, how could her daughter-in-law not come back?! Not to mention that just walking thousands of miles is asking the daughter-in-law to give up her life, and the daughter-in-law will not hesitate! ”

A hint of mockery flashed in Duan's eyes, and his face was unhappy.

Old Madam Yu's face was a little uglier, and she took a deep breath: "Where did it come to this?" Xiao Qi was injured in his internal organs at the time, and he looked at it seriously, and after a few months of recuperation, it was nothing, but he had a little scar on his face, and he didn't want to go out to meet people, so he excused himself to recuperate and nest in the house. As for the six girls...... she gritted her teeth and glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law coldly: "You clearly said in your letter that she has changed, not only is she virtuous and courteous, but she is also widely praised in the capital. I believed your words, and only then did I reveal the events of the year, but she caused me a big disaster! not only almost buried her brother's life, but also almost lost the reputation of the Gu family! I thought that she was my own granddaughter, so I gave up my face, kept her, and sent you a letter in secret, so that you could send someone to pick her up quickly. I didn't expect you to delay it again and again, for half a year, and now it's only here, but you told me that she was greatly wronged?! I want to know, how did she get wronged?! ”

Jiang Shi cried bitterly: "Old lady, Hui'er is your own granddaughter!" It's your own flesh and blood, how can you say that about her! ”

Seeing that the old lady's face was even more ugly, Duan swallowed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and stepped forward to persuade with a worried face: "Mother-in-law, don't be angry, sister-in-law just doesn't know the truth, after all, she is a daughter-in-law, and it will inevitably hurt a little - maybe the people below didn't make it clear when they passed the word?" The daughter-in-law told the sister-in-law the details, and she naturally knew who was right and who was wrong. ”

"How can the letter I wrote myself not clear?!" Mrs. Yu slapped the tea table suddenly, shook the tea bowl to the ground, and smashed it into pieces, "At that time, the boss replied to the letter clearly, even the crime was asked, and he only asked Brother An'er if it mattered, so he handed over the six girls to me for disposal, just begging me to save her life in terms of flesh and blood." I also said that you already know in your heart, and you have no dissenting intentions, but now you come to give me a look on the face, and there are thorns in and out of your words, what is your idea?! ”

Duan opened his mouth, rolled his eyes, and then stepped aside, standing still.

Jiang Shi seemed to be taken aback by his mother-in-law's momentum, and was stunned for a while, before he reacted and continued to wipe his tears, but he didn't keep crying like Fang Cai: "Master...... The old man was also angry at that time, and on the spur of the moment, he said cruel things...... After that, I felt distressed...... I was afraid that my mother-in-law would be angry, so I didn't dare to intercede for Hui'er...... These few months have passed, and the old man thinks that the old lady's anger should be almost gone, and Xiao Qi's injury should also be healed, so he asked me to come over...... Pick up the kids and go back to Beijing ......"

Old Madam Yu glanced at her sharply, and she immediately closed her mouth and smiled wryly. Old Madam Yu raised her eyebrows: "Take it back?" I didn't answer it at the time, but this time I picked it upside down? Is Kyori okay already? The chaos has subsided?! ”

Jiang Shi swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Yes...... Although it has not completely subsided, it has ...... Almost......"

"It's time to dispose of it, it's time to be promoted, it's time to move around...... It's time to move around, right? Old Madam Yu curled the corners of her mouth coldly, "But which young talent and high-ranking family do you fancy again?!" The concubine is too young to take it, so she thinks that the six girls are here? The capital is far away, as long as the news does not pass, the six girls will still be fragrant, and they will not be ashamed to give it to anyone, right? ”

Jiang Shi wiped his sideburns with a handkerchief in embarrassment: "That's not what the master meant......"

Old Mrs. Yu looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart. This daughter-in-law, when she was young, looked good, the family of the eunuchs, the scholarly family, gentle and obedient, virtuous and polite, and knew how to retreat. She thought that her eldest son's temperament was a little twisted, and if she found him a temperamental, she was afraid that the two of them would not have a good life, so she hired this daughter-in-law for her son. I didn't expect that this gentleness and obedience are also harmful! Being obedient in front of your mother-in-law is filial piety, and if you leave your mother-in-law, you are still so obedient, and you lose your cowardice. Blindly only knows what it means to obey her husband, she will go east when he points to the east, and she will go west when he points to the west, and she has no idea of her own at all, and the inner court can't be suppressed, and she still raises her children to look like this. It's okay for the son, but he likes to mess around, and if his daughter teaches her like this, it will hurt her for the rest of her life!

Old Madam Yu silently turned her head and asked softly, "Which one is it?" ”

Jiang opened his mouth, a little weak-hearted: "The master didn't specify it, but the daughter-in-law looked at it...... There are a few families with good children, and they are the same age as Hui'er...... Those are not ordinary families, there are princes' mansions, scholarly families, and clan nobles......"

Old Madam Yu sneered and glanced at her: "Then the boss has already seen it?" Did he tell you to bring the letter?! ”

Jiang shrunk his neck: "The old man said...... I couldn't tell the old lady in the letter, so I asked my daughter-in-law to tell the old lady in person...... And then there's ...... Hui'er's ...... Don't spread the word......"

Old Madam Yu said with a cold face: "I want to hide it, but she makes such a big fuss, and there are too many people who know, can I still gag people's mouths one by one?!" Not to mention anything else, just the prince of Dongping has seen her embarrassment with his own eyes! If you want to hide it, it's better to shut his mouth first! She felt a slight chill in her heart, her son would always ask her for her opinion on the marriage of her grandchildren, and then consider it, but this time she didn't even have a letter! Why don't you understand what you said in the letter, let the daughter-in-law tell you? Look at the daughter-in-law's appearance, where can I explain it clearly?!

She only felt tired, and reached out to rub her forehead: "The six girls are now practicing in Qinglian Nunnery. I asked someone to send fifty taels of silver every month, and I asked the old two daughters-in-law to provide them quietly. She's not going to suffer there. But now there is no need to talk about marriage! The sixth girl's temperament, if she really marries into a big family, and then something happens, or if her in-laws know about it, everyone will be glittering, will she still have a way to live?! When the time comes, we will try to save her, but we can't! It is better to be quiet, tell her to stay in the nunnery for a year or two, and when things are quiet, then find a reliable and safe relative, send the child over, and ask them to help find a family business. Don't seek to be rich and expensive, as long as you don't worry about food and clothing, your family style is pure, your son-in-law is open-minded, and you can get along well with her, it's enough. You are her mother, you should know which approach is best for her, everything is according to her father's will, and it is good to mistake the child's life for the rest of her life! ”

Jiang's face turned pale, his expression was hesitant, and he wanted to say something excitedly for a while, but he immediately changed his fear and closed his mouth.

Duan could see clearly opposite her, pursed his lips, and looked away: the eldest son of the Gu family, the wife he married was a clan wife, how could he choose such a person? In addition to a good family background and a soft temperament, he has no other strengths, and the children he gave birth to are still so stubborn! If it weren't for her children messing around, how could Changfang lose his position as patriarch?! It's a big deal!

When Mrs. Yu saw the face of her eldest daughter-in-law, she knew what she was thinking, and sighed helplessly, and asked weakly: "Brother Xian'er's family affairs have been decided?" Although the boys of the Gu family have always started a family later than others, it has dragged on for a few years, and it is time to do it! What's more, the young and the old are orderly, the elder brother doesn't marry a wife, how can the younger sister say kiss? ! ”

Jiang's face lit up: "The master has already seen it, and said that there are several young ladies who are good matches for Brother Xian!" Among them, the young lady of the Zheng family, the daughter of the Marquis of Wanping, and the three county lords of the Yueyang Palace, have all reached their age. The lord said that these are all noble girls, if Brother Xian has the status of Jinshi, he will have more confidence when he asks for marriage, and now he is letting Brother Xian study hard at home. After a pause, she smiled again, "My daughter-in-law has seen the second lady of the Hou Du family in Wanping, gentle and obedient, virtuous and courteous, and her appearance is also peugeot. Now it's just a matter of waiting for Brother Xian'er to go to high school! ”

Old Madam Yu shook her head slightly: "It's good to be gentle and polite, but it's not a good thing to be too peaceful." The Marquis of Wanping is the lord who was crowned when he ascended the throne today, and he is not visible on weekdays, and his heirs are thin, so why bother marrying his family? And ......," she glanced at Jiang, "Miss Zheng...... Isn't it Concubine Zheng's niece? Isn't it rumored that she was given to the third prince? The boss is confused? Actually hit her idea?! ”

Jiang Shi was terrified: "The old lady misunderstood, the old man took a fancy to Miss Zheng's sister...... Although it is a concubine, it is raised under the name of Mrs. Zheng......" Seeing that her mother-in-law showed an angry look on her face, she hurriedly defended, "This is Mrs. Zheng asked Mrs. Changping Hou to agree, and the lord was originally going to respond, but then he looked at the eight characters and found that he was not compatible with Brother Xian, so he pushed ......"

Old Madam Yu sneered loudly: "I see! "My heart is already cold, the eldest grandson marries a wife, in order to pick the best one, I drag it out and procrastinate, and I pick and choose like this, but it's a pity that it's not the family style and behavior...... That's it, she gave birth to a son, doesn't she understand? Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why should she worry?!

Jiang Shi looked at his mother-in-law's expression, and suddenly felt very uneasy in his heart, not knowing if he had said something wrong: "Old lady...... Miss Du Jiaer is very good, and she has a good reputation in Beijing......"

Is the good name in Beijing still reliable? Wen Hui is also famous, but what is the reality? Duan secretly pursed his lips and said to the old lady: "Mother-in-law, sister-in-law must be tired after such a long journey, why don't you let her rest first?" The daughter-in-law has already ordered someone to clean the main courtyard. ”

Jiang Shi said: "No, no, I want to see Hui'er first." ”

Duan's brows furrowed, only thinking that she would only add to the chaos. The swagger into the village in broad daylight only stayed for a while and was going to Qinglian Nunnery to see her daughter, did she think there was too little gossip outside?! Duan couldn't help but remind: "Sister-in-law, now the fourth master and the fourth wife are in charge of the village, they have always respected the rules, and they looked at the face of their mother-in-law before, so that Wen Hui could recuperate peacefully in Qinglian Nunnery." If there is too much criticism in the clan, they may not be tolerant! ”

Jiang didn't take it to heart: "My brother and sister are too worried, our lord didn't take the position of patriarch to heart, and it's nothing to give the second room, as long as the lord is still in the court, who in the clan doesn't give face?" ”

Duan sneered in his heart, and he no longer persuaded him. Old Madam Yu frowned, then waved her hand: "You go, tell her less about what you don't have, and let her stay there in peace!" Then he casually shouted: "Wufu?!" ”

Duan Shi hurriedly said: "Wufu is helping to reconcile the accounts in the daughter-in-law's house - there is an account in the mother-in-law's courtyard that cannot be reconciled." You want to call someone, Ruyi and Double Happiness are ...... outside" but saw a wood on the old lady's face, and after a while, she said lightly: "Yes?" casually called Ruyi and helped her into the inner room.

Duan curled the corners of his mouth, knowing that his mother-in-law would probably not look for his bad luck, and he was a little proud in his heart. When he turned around and saw that Jiang was still sitting there, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll ask someone to take you over?" ”

The car is just an ordinary green cloth car, pulled by two ordinary horses, the coachman is an old handle, and the four mothers-in-law with the car are very ordinary in terms of appearance and dress. This kind of pomp and circumstance is common in Guzhuang, just like the wives and grandmothers in other rooms, but it does not match the name of Jiang's official wife.

Mama Liu, who came with the Jiang family, couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction when she saw it: "Second wife, this is too shabby, don't say that the family is short of money and can't afford to buy a good car!" Duan said lightly: "Of course, there are good cars, but my sister-in-law is going to Qinglian Nunnery in Zhuanghou, and it is too ostentatious to sit in a good car." Now our family only hopes that the rumors of the six girls can be mentioned by fewer people, why bother to be too ostentatious and attract others to discuss? ”

Without waiting for Mama Liu to say anything, Jiang Shi hurriedly nodded: "This is right." This car is very good, I'll just take this! After that, he was helped by the girl to get into the car, and only took a few cronies and mother-in-law to drive to the Qinglian Nunnery behind the village.

Not far in front of the nunnery, the mother-in-law who was guarding the temple knew that it was the people of the long house, so she let them go. Unexpectedly, when Jiang got out of the nunnery, he found that she was not the only guest who came to the nunnery today, and she couldn't help but be taken aback.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl stood on the edge of the carriage, followed by two girls. She listened to the mother-in-law of the long room say a few words in the past, then turned around, looked surprised, walked over lightly, and bowed solemnly in front of the right side of the carriage: "Niece Wen Yi, I have seen the eldest aunt." ”

(Don't make a mistake about who Wen Yi came to find...... Continue to ask for pink ~~~)
