She said tentatively, "Mother, you also know that my mother's sister is getting married, and the family is giving her a dowry. The last time I went home, my mother mentioned that she wanted to buy a Zhuangzi. Our Zhuangzi is definitely a high-class realm, so it's better to ...... I'll go back again, and if my mother stays, I'm not afraid that any outsiders will know. ”

"Oh, and that?" The general's wife was happy, "Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Then you go back, if it is handed over to your maiden sister, I will naturally be happy. ”

Zhao Zhi also smiled, "Yes, fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields." ”

Jiang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Second brother's side...... Could it be misunderstood? ”

The general's wife waved her hand indifferently and responded, "What if he misunderstands, I just want to teach them husband and wife well in the future, if they dare to make trouble, I will dare to use the family law!" ”

With such a promise, Jiang relieved himself and went back to his parents' house after picking it up.

In Kyoto, everything is lacking, and the most important thing is the wealthy and powerful.

The land, estates, mountains and forests outside Kyoto are the territory of the wealthy and powerful.

If there is a Zhuangzi nearby, it is definitely the best symbol of wealth and power.

The Jiang family did not hesitate to buy the Zhuangzi of the General's Mansion, and even gave a high price of 3,500 taels.

The general's wife got the silver ticket, but she was overjoyed, so that she sold the Zhuangzi without a trace and without attracting anyone's attention, and was able to solve the husband's urgent need, which was the best of both worlds.

Unfortunately, things often seem to be going well, and there are always some accidents.

Because there is a horse farm in Zhuangzi, Zhao Qiong often goes to run horses with a group of fox friends and dog friends, eats and drinks, and plays freely.

On this day, on the birthday of a fox friend and dog friend, everyone bought a lot of wine and rushed to Zhuangzi lively.

When they entered, when the villagers saw them, their expressions were a little wrong, but Zhao Qiong was not a shrewd person, so he didn't notice it at all.

As a result, when they arrived at the Sanjin mansion in the middle of the Zhuangzi, everyone was startled by the strange mother-in-law inside.

Zhao Qiong scolded suspiciously, "Who are you?" How is it in our house? ”

I don't want those mothers-in-law and maids to be more surprised than him, because when he suddenly saw so many gentlemen, he scattered in a panic, and went to find the steward to deal with it.

The person who came was the Jiang family's big housekeeper, and when he sent things to the Jiang family on weekdays, he often went in and out of the general's mansion, so he hurriedly saluted at this time, and said with a smile, "Second master, why did you come here today?" ”

"Dog thing, this should be asked by the master, why did you run to my Zhuangzi? Don't you know if this is the master's territory, hurry up! Zhao Qionghao is used to it, and she is still not polite to her sister-in-law's family.

The Jiang family's housekeeper was unhappy, so he smiled and replied lightly, "The second master forgives the sin, and the villain is afraid that he won't be able to listen to the second master." Because this is no longer the territory of the second master, now this Zhuangzi is surnamed Jiang! Why, you can go back and ask the old lady. ”

"Impossible!" Zhao Qiong's eyes glared angrily, and he raised his horsewhip to whip Steward Jiang.

Steward Jiang was not only not afraid, but laughed contemptuously, only lowered his head, waiting for the whip that was about to fall.

The general's wife is a well-known reason, and her eldest girl is the eldest young lady of the general's mansion, if he is beaten by the second young master, with the temper of the general's wife and the eldest girl, he will definitely not spare the second young master, and will give him a lot of money as compensation.

Xu is that his annual salary is not as much as this compensation, and in front of the master, he will also leave a good impression of protecting his industry, killing two birds with one stone!

It's a pity that his abacus is very loud, and Zhao Qiong's side is not just a fool, there is a son who pulled Zhao Qiong and persuaded him, "Zhao Er, maybe your family has other arrangements, but you don't know, so you caused this misunderstanding."

"In this way, you go home and ask, we will go to Chunfeng Building to open a table and wait for you, we will not get drunk today."

Zhao Qiong thought about her mother's strictness, as well as her eldest brother and sister-in-law, in the end she withdrew the whip, turned her head and ran away......

The general's wife was taking the Jiang family to sort out her things, preparing to send them to the border on the next day.

Jiang Shi gave some of the supplements that his mother's family brought back, and said with a smile, "Mother, the border is bitterly cold, and my father is also old." Take these supplements with you and give them to your father. ”

"How can it be done, this is given to you by your mother, in order to replenish your body." The general's wife refused, she really didn't want to take advantage of her eldest daughter-in-law.

But Jiang insisted and whispered, "Mother, look at these supplements, they are all eaten by older people, which ones are prepared for me!" My mother said that my father guarded the border for the country and the people, which is really respectable.

"We can't help much, so we can only bring some supplements to my father, hoping that he will be healthy and peaceful."

The general's wife was moved when she heard this, and then she thought about the little son who was fooling around outside, and the little daughter-in-law who was pretending to be dead in the yard, and couldn't help but sigh.

"If you go back, you must thank your mother for me, your family has a heart. Being able to marry you as a daughter-in-law is a blessing for our Zhao family! If the second child and the Chen family have this thought, I don't have to be half angry! ”

Jiang smiled and didn't speak, she was steady and cautious, her mother-in-law could say this, but her sister-in-law couldn't say it.

At this time, a housekeeper suddenly came in and said, "Old lady, Xifu sent someone to deliver something, saying that the second master is worried about the general." ”

The general's wife changed her face, a coldness flashed in her eyes, and she scolded in a low voice, "After a hundred and eight thousand miles, thanks to their sharp eyes, they actually knew that the border pass had sent the letter back." Where is this to send something, obviously to inquire about the border pass, for fear that someone will forget his second grandfather! ”

Jiang Shi also frowned and sighed in his heart.

When the old general was two brothers at the border pass, the old general died in battle, and it stands to reason that the second master should stay at the border pass to support the border army, but the second master insisted that he was not in good health, returned to Kyoto, and left the general's nephew, and endured all the hardships.

And this second master not only took over the war exploits and won the title of reward, but he has always been full of care and love for his nephews to the outside world, but secretly he is embarrassed by their women and children everywhere......

"Let people in, I'd like to hear what bad ideas he has again!" The general's wife spoke, and the housekeeper immediately went out and brought in a middle-aged entourage.

The entourage saluted, but his expression was not at all respectful, and he said, "Madam, our uncle heard that the border pass sent the news back, and he was really worried about the general, so he sent the villain over to ask, how is the general at the border pass, but he has suffered a defeat and lost the prestige of our Zhao family?"

"In addition, our uncle specially found some ginseng and other medicinal materials, and Mrs. remembered to send them to the border together, so that they could be used in case the general was injured."

This is really unpleasant, the general's wife has a cold face, and even the Jiang family secretly pulled the veil.

The general sneered and answered, "Go back and tell the second uncle that the border is peaceful and everything is fine." If the second uncle thinks that the general can't guard the border pass, then he can go to the old man's house to guard it, and change the general to come back to recuperate for a few years. ”
