Chapter 6: The Human Heart Is Unfathomable
Jiang Luo's voice was not loud, and the words were loud and clear.
Xu An lowered his hand holding the horsewhip with insufficient confidence, and cursed on his lips, "Phew! Cheap bones. ”
let him be hard-mouthed, but he didn't beat the Jiang family anymore.
Jiang Liushi helped Jiang He up, crying and bandaging the wounds on his forehead and body.
"Wait."
Seeing that Jiang Liushi was about to tear off the strip of cloth on his dress, which was already dirty and could not see the color, and bandaged Jiang He, Jiang Luo hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
She looked displeased, "What are you doing?" Do you want to watch your uncle bleed to death! ”
"You use such a dirty cloth to bandage the wound, if it gets infected, it will be even more fatal."
She handed over the clean white gauze and wound medicine, "Use this bandage." ”
Jiang Liushi didn't think much about it, took it and began to treat the wound.
Although Chen Xianyue is not smart, she is an adult after all, and she has seen all kinds of strange behaviors of Jiang Luo these days.
She can take out all kinds of healing medicines anytime and anywhere, and she is not as delicate and willful as before, but has become very calm and very assertive.
Chen Xianyue avoided everyone's gaze, pulled Jiang Luo to the side, she lowered her voice, and asked nervously, "Luo'er, you confess to Xiaoniang, where did you get the medicine?" ”
"You've never studied medicine, how do you understand that?"
Jiang Luo rubbed his dirty hands and explained unhurriedly, "Little lady." ”
She deliberately looked around to make sure that no one was approaching, and then said mysteriously, "Where do I know what medical skills, it was the night Pang Zhou died, didn't I be stunned by him." ”
Chen Xianyue nodded in a choked voice, and listened to her continue, "Originally, I couldn't live, but I happened to meet an old man with white hair and fairy bones, he saved my life, and gave me a treasure that ordinary people can't see." ”
"Treasures are like a cornucopia, and many things can be taken out."
Chen Xianyue was stunned when she heard this, but what Jiang Luo said was serious, and she even took out a handful of rice in front of her.
Chen Xianyue opened her mouth in surprise, "This ......"
"Little mother, you must not tell others about this kind of thing, including grandfather and uncle, otherwise it will ......"
"I know, I know." Chen Xianyue held her hand excitedly, and she knew that the daughter of the master's delicate and pampered daughter must be a blessed person.
The night is like water, and a full moon hangs lonely in the sky.
Zhou Yan, another errand who came from the capital with Xu An, is a diligent and quiet person, he usually does all the dirty work and tiring work, and he never beats and scolds the Jiang family, and he usually takes the leftover meals of the yacha and distributes them to the Jiang family.
Zhou Yan lit a pile of firewood, cooked a pot of porridge with the dry food in the package, and baked the cold and hard meatloaf.
The meatloaf exudes an enticing aroma that makes everyone swallow.
Jiang Luo and the others could only sit in the distance and watch, and after the yacha had eaten and drunk enough, Zhou Yan brought the remaining burnt porridge in the pot, and gave them two clean steamed buns at the same time, and the leftover meat patties that the yacha had bitten a few bites of and did not finish were also given to them.
"Zhou Yan, what are you doing slowly! Won't you feed the dogs? ”
Xu An saw that he was slow, so he directly snatched the steamed bun in his hand and threw it at Jiang Zhuangci.
There were only two steamed buns and two leftover meatloaf for a dozen of them, as well as a bowl of burnt porridge at the bottom of the pot.
Jiang Liu hurriedly grabbed a steamed bun and half a meatloaf in her hand, Mrs. Jiang glanced at her, and she immediately respectfully handed over the meatloaf.
There was only one steamed bun left to eat separately with Jiang He.
The bowl of porridge was also reserved for Jiang Zhuangci and his wife, and others didn't even have a chance to take a second look.
Jiang Cheng picked up the remaining steamed buns and meatloaf on the ground, he handed the meatloaf to Uncle Jiang'an, and then divided half of the steamed buns to Jiang Luo, and he kept a small piece of the remaining half for himself, and gave the rest to Chen Xianyue.
"Brother, I have a small appetite and can't eat so much." Jiang Luo was helpless, she divided half of the steamed bun into two and gave it to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng refused to ask for it, so she gave it to Chen Xianyue.
Chen Xianyue excused herself again and again, kept looking at Jiang Cheng, and saw that Jiang Cheng had no opinion, so she carefully accepted it.
Ahem!
Jiang Liushi stared at the steamed buns in Chen Xianyue's hand, and said in a weird manner, "Daddy hasn't eaten enough, it's good for you, a concubine still dares to eat so much!" ”
Chen Xianyue lowered her head, not daring to say more, she held the steamed bun in both hands and handed it over carefully.
Jiang Liu's expression was about the same, and he wanted to take the steamed bun over, but Jiang Luo stopped her hand, "Don't give it to her." ”
"You!"
"Jiang Luo! You are presumptuous! Is that how you talk to your elders? ”
Jiang Luo raised his head to meet her gaze, without the slightest timidity, "The eldest aunt still thinks this is the Jiang Mansion in the capital?" ”
"What kind of pie is the wife of the long house."
"You!" Jiang Liushi raised his hand and was about to hit her, but was stopped by Jiang Zhuangci.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you talking about with Luo'er? She's a child. ”
"Daddy." Jiang Liushi was dissatisfied, "My daughter-in-law is afraid that you will be hungry." ”
"I'm not hungry."
Jiang Zhuang turned his back, and when Jiang Liushi saw him stop him, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only glance at Chen Xianyue angrily.
She walked to Mrs. Jiang and sat down next to the old lady, "Mother, look at that girl, the second brother and his wife died, she was raised by the little lady so ignorant, and she actually contradicted the elders." ”
The old lady closed her eyes, she had already seen Chen Xianyue unpleasantly. Jiang Luo is no longer there, it is also the blood of the Jiang family, Chen Xianyue's little cheap hoof, hooked up with her second son when she was in the capital, and now she teaches her granddaughter to be so ignorant of the rules.
"In the past, although those yacha had a bad attitude, they wouldn't starve us after all, you see now...... That cheap hoof killed someone, let's cover her up and run away with her, that's why we ended up like this. ”
"Alright, don't talk about it." The more the old lady listened to it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, if it weren't for the exile, according to her former temper, she would have asked someone to sell this kind of concubine who didn't understand the rules.
"You go and call her." The old lady spoke.
"Hey." Jiang Liushi stood up happily, ignoring the sound of shackles, and walked to Chen Xianyue with a shelf.
"The old lady called you over." She looked at Chen Xianyue condescendingly, she was also a criminal, and it seemed that she was going to be superior.
Chen Xianyue hurriedly followed, and before she could speak, Old Madam Jiang asked her to kneel with a black face.
She knelt on the ground obediently, bowing her head and not daring to look the old lady in the eyes.
"Do you know why I punished you?"
"Please make it clear to the old lady." She said respectfully.
"My granddaughter is usually the most obedient, and she has only been with you for a few days! Look at what you've been taught! ”
"It's all the concubine's fault, I beg the old lady not to be angry."
Jiang Luo, who was sitting in the distance, couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could probably guess a thing or two. Now that they have fallen to such a point, the family is still not working together, what kind of housewife is the pie!
She felt funny in her heart, thinking that Chen Xianyue took special care of her, and she wanted to go over to help her out.
Jiang Cheng saw her thoughts and immediately grabbed her, "Don't go over, grandmother is teaching her a lesson." ”
"After a day's journey, why don't you rest early when you have this time?" Jiang Luo didn't understand.
Jiang Cheng disagreed, "She is a junior, and she is our father's concubine, grandmother don't say that she will be punished for kneeling, it is normal for her to die." ”
