Chapter 371: The vexatious aunt
Zhang Yueniang understood Jiang Chen's good intentions.
After all, neither Jiang Chen nor she dared to treat Ju Huan, a person who could enter the palace at any time to meet the queen, as a concubine.
Because there is no third person who can enjoy such an honor in the court today, except for the members of the royal family and Cai You's wife Song!
So, Zhang Yueniang pulled up Juhuan's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Huan, since the officials have broken the bill for us, let's accept this gift!"
「…… Yes, yes, Madame, please!"
Ju Huan held back his excitement and helped Zhang Yueniang get out of the carriage.
Xun'er and Ping'er also happily followed behind, Jiangfu not only had good food and accommodation, there was no intrigue and all kinds of oppression, and the rewards were also frequent and rich, they all fell in love here.
Xiang'er and Cui Niannu looked calm, the two of them liked the excitement of celebration and all kinds of delicious food, rather than the money they rewarded.
Because they serve Jiang Chen to bathe every day, they have already become little rich women under all kinds of sweet and flattering mouths.
At the same time, there is also a cousin's family who does not take twenty guan in his eyes.
When Zhang Yueniang, Ju Huan and the people in Jiangfu laughed a few words, their family of three couldn't wait to get together.
"Congratulations to Brother Chen, you are really prosperous, and you have been promoted again in a short period of time!"
My cousin smiled flatteringly.
After my aunt greeted Liu Mingjie, she said with concern, "Brother Chen (cousin), I heard that you were assassinated? What do you think? Didn't get hurt, did you?"
As the mother and daughter spoke, they were extremely close to Jiang Chen and checked Jiang Chen up and down.
Jiang Chen was touched by their mother and daughter, and raised his hand to stop him: "Cousin and cousin don't worry, it's just a few students messing around, and it's not a stabbing thing.
Since we're here, let's have fun here, and I'll go change my clothes first!"
Jiang Chen said that, and walked towards the villa area of the back house.
Now that the matter of pacifying Fang La, there are many changes, and there are several more queens and Song Huizong's eyeliner in the mansion, which are very draining of his mental energy, and he really has no extra energy to deal with Liu Mingjie's family.
Hmm-
Cousin?
It's only been a few days, is it so divided?
My aunt was devastated.
My cousin and Liu Mingjie were also embarrassed.
Although they are not short of money now, they are not living satisfactorily, compared to the days when they were respected everywhere and had little power in Jiangfu, it was simply a difference between cloud and mud.
Not only did the businessmen and petty officials who had broken through the threshold disappear in the past, but even the relatives of the Liu family also turned to the family of Aunt Liu.
What makes them even more depressed is that under the influence of various changes and rumors, Liu Mingjie's road to becoming a noble man is becoming more and more difficult.
As a result, the cousin's family had the idea of returning to Jiangfu and serving as the official of Jiangfu again, so that they could make more nobles and pave the way for Liu Mingjie.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen refused to even give him a chance to speak, and directly flashed.
Fortunately, Zhang Yueniang was soft-hearted and politely invited: "Cousin, aunt, Mingjie, if there is nothing to do, why don't you go to the back house and sit down?"
"Yes, yes!"
"We have something to discuss with you and Brother Chen!"
My cousin and aunt hurriedly nodded in agreement.
At this time, Zhang Yueniang also found Liu Zongshou's family standing on the side honestly, and also sent out an invitation: "Second cousin, when did you come?
Quick, come with us to the back and sit down, *** Although I can't easily walk away to help the officials take care of the study, I miss you every day!"
"Oh, yes, yes."
Liu Zongshou nodded with a simple face.
Liu Yuanwen said sweetly: "We are also worried about the tightness of the eldest lady and ***, but we are afraid of staining the eyes of the eldest lady and the son, so we are embarrassed to come."
Today, I heard that Gongzi was assassinated, but it was really difficult to sleep and eat to take a look, so I came to the door with a cheeky face."
Having trouble sleeping?
Are you worried about me so much?
Jiang Chen glanced back at Liu Yuanwen rather amusedly, shook his head slightly, and continued to move forward.
Liu Mingjie saw that Jiang Chen didn't look at Liu Yuanwen when he saw her, and he immediately became even more dissatisfied.
Although she didn't know that Jiang Chen was the initiator of rumors such as rabies and biting, she still blamed Jiang Chen.
As soon as he entered the back house, he couldn't bear to rush forward and stop Jiang Chendao:
"What do you mean? You ruined my reputation, didn't say anything about making me a nobleman, and drove our family out of Jiangfu, telling outsiders that they had nothing to do with us.
Not only did we not blame you, but we came to visit you as soon as we heard that you were assassinated, so you didn't want to see us like this?"
Jiang Chen frowned, glanced at Juhuan, Xun'er, and Ping'er, and said to Liu Mingjie:
"What do you mean by me ruining your reputation?
As I said, the people of Jiangfu can only be pure ministers, and they can only be loyal to the official family, and no one is allowed to participate in the affairs of the prince.
If you want to use Jiangfu as a bargaining chip to achieve your personal noble dream, how can I continue to keep you living in Jiangfu?"
"That's it!
It was your own choice to leave Jiangfu at the beginning. Brother Chen not only gave you the villa, but also gave you an inexhaustible amount of money, why do you have to beat it up in the end?"
Aunt Liu, the official of the inner house, frowned with disdain.
"We ......"
Liu Mingjie was asked.
But my aunt argued, "Even so, can't you kill us quickly, and openly say that you have nothing to do with us? Others don't know, and they still think that we have done something unseemly in Jiangfu!
In addition, Brother Chen deceived Mingjie to learn how to bark a dog before, and said in front of the Queen Mother that Mingjie was her concubine's business, and how did she get married? Isn't that a way out for our family?"
Hmm-
Learn to bark a dog?
Zhang Yueniang glanced at Jiang Chen with disgust.
Ju Huan, Xun'er and Ping'er, who didn't know the inside story, showed gossip on their faces, and looked at Jiang Chen with strange eyes: Are you so damaged? No wonder it is rumored that Liu Mingjie has rabies!
Uh-
Jiang Chen was secretly embarrassed, but he said with a righteous look on his face: "I can't stop what you think, in short, I won't betray principles for the sake of your family, cling to the prince, and give up absolute loyalty to the official family!"
If you think I've done something wrong, I can write to Lord Liu right away and ask him to take him as a concubine, and I think he will be very willing!"
"Who's going to be a concubine for him? Is that what we mean?"
Liu Ming's eyes were so red that he almost cried.
The cousin hurriedly stepped forward and sneered and said, "Brother Chen, you misunderstood, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense, we don't mean to blame you at all. It's just ......."
As he spoke, he looked at his baby daughter worriedly and said, "What will I do in the future? There are so many rumors outside, and with the reputation of your concubine, let alone being a nobleman, even ordinary businessmen dare not marry!"
"What does my cousin think?" Jiang Chen asked lightly.
"This ......"
The cousin looked speechless and stopped, and looked at the girls in Juhuan uncomfortably.
Ju Huan immediately understood, and said with a smile: "I just happened to go back to my room to change into civilian clothes, so I lost my company first!"
After that, she was about to turn around and leave with a slight blessing to Jiang Chen and Zhang Yueniang.
