Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Ancestral Mansion of the Thirteenth Miles in the North
[An An anchor: It's miserable, Dad, you see that the uncle's family lives in the city. You've been exiled to a sleeping ranch outside the city. 】
Jiang Anrao led the horse and said in a private chat.
The residential areas of Beihao are all in the city, and the unit is "li", and usually people with the same surname live together. The Jiang family house is the ancestral house in the north of Beihao City, thirteen miles north.
Jiang's father didn't care when he was ridiculed by his daughter, so he smiled and introduced the family situation to Jiang Anrao and a few people in the live broadcast room.
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: Now the head of the Jiang family is your grandfather, called Jiang Chao, and your own grandmother, that is, my biological mother and my eldest brother, has passed away for many years.
Patriarch Jiang continued to marry a lady, who has also passed away, and the stepwife only gave birth to two daughters, and now they are all married.
Now the Jiang family does not have the wife of the patriarch, there are only a few beautiful concubines around the Jiang patriarch all the year round, and the family business has also been handed over to your uncle.
Your uncle's wife, the one you want to call your uncle when you turn around is the daughter of a side branch of the Fu family, and her name is full. The Fu family was also a nobleman, and now he is also a big businessman, and the situation is much better than our Jiang family.
The Fu family is one of the leaders of the textile industry in Beihao City, and the family is mainly engaged in raw silk and satin. However, your aunt is the daughter of the side branch, and the people on their side have no say in the Fu family. So you don't have to think too much of her.
Your uncle has two sons and a daughter: the eldest son, Jiang Ze, is 15 years old this year, the second son, Jiang Yang, is 13 years old, and the daughter Jiang Yang is 10 years old. 】
Jiang Ruoyang recalled the uncle's sons and daughters, looked back at his daughters, and suddenly added proudly, [Guest Jiang Ruoyang: Your uncle is good, and the children are also well-behaved, but they are still much worse than my daughters. 】
Audience in the live broadcast room: "......" is about to overflow the screen, okay?
Jiang's mother and grandpa couldn't help but be happy on the side.
His family knows his own family affairs, Jiang Ruoyang has never shown off his children, he sees that his children are good everywhere, and he shows off wherever he goes.
They're all used to it.
Jiang Narao has always cooperated with this, and as a matter of course, he raised his chin and affirmed his father's words:
[An An anchor: That's! 】
Audience in the live broadcast room: It's the father and daughter.
The family entered the city from the northeast gate, and after separating from Wang Yun, they walked to the ancestral house of the Jiang family, because they did not ride a horse, but just led the horse, and walked around all the way, and it took more than half an hour to walk to the north thirteen miles.
Because of the decline of the Jiang family, many houses have also been sold, and there is only one mansion left in the city. The Jiang family is not the only one in the North Thirteen Miles, and at this time it is a state of mixed living with several surnames.
The Jiang family's mansion is the third from the left. Walking through the long, gray-brown courtyard wall, you will see three heavy wooden gates, all of which are double-opened. The door panels are dark brown, the left and right doors are slightly smaller, and the middle main entrance is very tall; There are carvings on the top of each door, and the pattern is beautiful and symmetrical.
I don't know how long the Jiang family's ancestral house has existed, and there is a faint black light on the door panel, and the wood of this door panel looks very old.
Smooth sailing: In other words, An An, I have always said that the Jiang family is a down-and-out nobleman, but this house, just looking at this gate board, your ancestors are probably not low, right?
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: We can't say who the ancestor is. 】
Smooth sailing: surnamed Jiang, could it be that your family is the descendant of Jiang Ziya?
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: There are many origins of the Jiang family, and there is a record that "Shennong lives in ginger water, because he thinks it is the family." "Legend has it that Emperor Yan was born in ginger water and took the name of water as his surname, so his surname is Jiang. This is probably the biggest of the many theories.
It is said that Jiang Ziya is indeed this surname. But our Jiang family should not be Jiang Shang's descendants. 】
Hahaha: That's okay, didn't people at that time like to show off their ancestors and put gold on their faces? It doesn't matter if it's one or not, anyway, if someone asks in the future, you will all say yes and it's over, well, after Emperor Yan, Jiang Shang's descendants, no matter which one sounds good.
The Jiang family all smiled and shook their heads, they didn't plan to arrange an ancestor with a background for themselves.
Unless, of course, the situation so requires.
When he arrived at the gate, Jiang Chiyu gave Jiang Anrao the reins, and he went up to knock on the door.
After several knocks, a crack opened in the door on the right. A head stretched out and looked over at the Jiang family.
"Who's coming, knock it!"
After seeing the crowd clearly, he was stunned, opened the side door, walked out, and saluted respectfully:
"Young Master Yang, it turned out that you were back."
Jiang Ruoyang looked at the person in front of him, rummaged in his memory for a long time, and finally matched the name:
"Are you wild?"
"Yes, it's a slave."
It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and when he heard Jiang Ruoyang call out his name, he immediately admitted it.
"Childe, please come in." He glanced at Lu Chaojin and Jiang Anrao and the others beside Jiang Ruoyang, and greeted, "Mrs. Jin, Young Master Yu, Miss Rao, Mr. Zhou, please come in." ”
"Ye, is my eldest brother at home?" Jiang Ruoyang didn't move immediately, and asked first.
"The eldest young master is said to be going out to attend the banquet later, but at this time, he should still be in the mansion and has not left."
"That's right, we're going to look for him, I'm looking for something with him."
Saying that, Jiang Ruoyang and the others followed Ye into the courtyard through the side door that was open on the right.
Ye called someone to help lead the horse to the stable, asked people to carry all the mats on the horse, and then took Jiang Anrao's family through the door, through the court, and came to the courtyard behind.
This is where the Jiang family lives.
Along the way, everyone didn't look closely at the layout of the courtyard houses and the like, and went straight to a courtyard on the right side of the backyard.
Jiang Narao saw a few people standing outside the courtyard, and recognized that it was a few guards that Jiang Xi had brought to the ranch before. Sure enough, those people also saw Shang You and their family from a distance, and they all saluted when they approached.
Ye was a little surprised to see the respectful appearance of several guards, he quietly glanced at Jiang Ruoyang and a few people, and asked one of the guards respectfully: "Gongziyang has come to find the eldest young master, the eldest young master is still in the courtyard, right?" ”
"Yes. Some of them are waiting for the eldest young master here. ”
"Gongziyang, please come in. The slave went in first and reported. ”
Ye asked Jiang Ruoyang and the others to go in by themselves, and he went inside first to make a report.
Jiang Ruoyang said hello, and walked to the yard with his family, and went in to report on the front foot.
Just as Jiang Anrao's family walked into the courtyard, Uncle Jiang Xi walked out of the house.
Jiang Xi is dressed very solemnly today, a dark brown straight-lined brocade robe, the collar and cuffs are black blue trimmed, the trim and the shirt are embroidered with delicate auspicious patterns, and he wears a leather hat with a fish-shaped topaz inlaid on the hat;
Jiang Xi was followed by a woman, she was wearing an apricot-yellow straight coat, her black hair was combed into drooping sideburns, and a golden hairpin was inserted on her head; She has a fair complexion, good facial features, and a graceful posture.
This woman's facial features are gorgeous and very good-looking. It's the kind of appearance of the world's rich flowers.
As soon as the audience in the live broadcast room saw her, they instantly refreshed!
You in the future: Wow! It's beautiful! This is the eldest uncle?
