Chapter 4: Uncle Returns

"Is my cousin here?"

Jiang Jin asked Peach behind him.

"Young Master Huijin, Brother Ling has an appointment with his classmates today, so he is not here."

Jiang Jin nodded.

"Thank you, Sister Pink."

It's great that her younger brother is not there, and he is in the middle of the province and the mud, delaying her to do big things.

After that, Jiang Jin didn't squeak anymore.

He only swaggered forward, and his actions were not at all as polite as he said.

The people here are all watching people put down the dishes, and before the master's family finds them, these people will also pretend to be in front of the uncle.

It's not complicated to talk about two families.

The owner of the current main family, Jingyuan Bofu, is her father's brother and uncle.

And the uncle's family was separated a few generations ago, and it couldn't be farther.

And the reason why the two families are connected is because her father took care of her uncle in his early years, and his uncle is also a grateful person, so after his father passed away, he took their orphans and widows back.

The heart is kind, but I didn't expect the people at home to understand.

Good intentions have done bad things.

Jiangfu is a three-entry courtyard, with a west cross courtyard, and Jiang Jin's family now lives in the west cross courtyard.

She walked through the two courtyards to the Hibiscus Hall.

There are no expensive ornaments in the hibiscus hall, but the overall elegance is also atmospheric.

Sitting on the main seat, with gray hair and a festive smile, was the uncle's mother, the old lady Jiang Hu.

In the position below, the one who was covering her mouth and smiling with a handkerchief was Mrs. Jiang Wei, and the red moles between her eyebrows dotted the whole person looked shrewd.

In his previous life, this person was a good calculator, and after separating their mother and daughter, he was angry with the old lady alive.

Speaking of the old lady, Jiang Jin has no impression of this third grandmother, but after so many years, the aunt has been restricted by her, and she can see that she is a ruthless character, but I don't know if this old woman has the idea of beating her.

Jiang Jin wanted to salute, but was interrupted.

said that she was sick, and the family did not use this false etiquette.

But Jiang Jin didn't listen.

They're not family.

"Brother Jin is used to being polite." The old lady Jiang Hu beckoned with a smile, "Come and let the third grandmother take a look." ”

Jiang Jin didn't move, "The younger generation is not well after being infected with the wind and cold." ”

The old lady nodded, and muttered, "It's a sensible one." ”

"Mother, let Brother Jin sit down, this is not good yet." Jiang Weishi interjected.

The old lady hurriedly asked Jiang Jin to sit down.

Jiang Jin responded in a low voice, and was about to sit down, but his ass was not yet firmly seated.

Mrs. Jiang Wei turned her head and said to Jiang Jin with a smile: "Listen to Brother Ling, you want to go to Cheng'an Temple tomorrow?" ”

Jiang Jin looked at her smiling and felt a chill in her heart, although she was just tempting, but her aunt was inevitably too anxious.

She answered "yes" after that.

Jiang Weishi complained a little: "Brother Jin, this is not aunt partiality, you just caught a cold now, and the temple is easy to get worse when you are sick in the mountains, this time, you can't get worse when you come back?" Why suffer that sin in vain? ”

"I don't worry about A-Niang."

"Your aunt is following your aunt, what else is there to worry about?" Jiang Weishi covered his handkerchief and smiled, "You are taking care of it at home, so I can rest assured, and your aunt can also rest assured." ”

Jiang Jin rolled his eyes in his heart.

I thought that I would follow you, so I didn't feel at ease!

"Then since that's the case, there is Aunt Lao."

As if solving a serious problem, Jiang Wei's preaching words floated over.

"Brother Jin can't mess with those bastards next time, if it weren't for Qingshan, something would have happened."

Jiang Jin reluctantly smiled, "It's my nephew who accidentally stepped on the air." ”

"You're used to taking trouble on yourself." Jiang Wei was disgusted, "Look at what you say after your uncle comes back." ”

"It's normal for children to be playful." The old lady was happy, and her eyes were about to be closed, "But what your aunt said is also right, outsiders are always not serious, you should play with your brother more." ”

Jiang Jin nodded politely, originally thought that they were going to do something, but he didn't expect it to be a criticism meeting.

She swept around the people present, and all she thought was: Who stole her money?

But these two people didn't seem to notice it, and only praised her "younger brother" endlessly, and their words were full of pride.

She really couldn't think of any good thing about that little fat man with a runny nose.

Too lazy to listen, she was a little drowsy, and the sound of "da-da-da" boots at the door came, which frightened her to sit up straight.

"Brother Jin, are you better?"

Jiang Jin got up and looked at the middle-aged man in official uniform, his face full of exhaustion.

She saluted and said respectfully, "It's better, why did my uncle come back?" ”

This uncle of his, indeed, has not been seen for a long time.

Since the flood in the summer, Jiang Yuanze, as a local parent official, has been busy building the embankment, and was originally scheduled to return on the New Year.

"I heard your aunt say that you accidentally fell into the water, and you don't feel at ease if you don't come back to take a look."

Jiang Yuanze complained a little dotingly.

He nodded at Jiang Jin, "You little naughty, something is really going to happen, uncle, how will I see your father below in the future." ”

"Don't say that." Jiang Jin hurriedly greeted the man to the position next to the old lady with a smile, "Bah, bah, my uncle must be a hundred years old." ”

She is really kind of to her uncle, who knows how to repay his kindness, is down-to-earth and hardworking, and has his own persistence for the people in his career.

Now the county seat he appointed was a poor county disturbed by the silt of the river, but since he came, he has made great efforts to make the country prosperous, control the water and change the fields, and the Yellow River has broken its embankment and made meritorious contributions, and it is not surprising that it is a sure thing to be promoted at the end of the three-year term, and it is not impossible to be directly transferred back to the capital.

But the destruction was ruined on the uncle's wife, Jiang Weishi.

In her previous life, not long after she was picked up by the main family, her uncle was imprisoned for embezzling disaster relief money.

Originally, Jiang Weishi felt that the construction of the embankment of the Yellow River was almost over, and as soon as the second batch of funds allocated by the imperial court arrived, he thought of a way to withhold the money.

It just so happened that the officials supervised by the imperial court were in office, and they were directly arrested.

The uncle never thought that his trusted wife would do such a thing, and when he learned the truth, he died directly in prison.

In this life, she must want her uncle to live a long life.

Her uncle's hearty laugh pulled her back, "I'm always a sweet-mouthed." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "When you come back, what will happen to the other side of the river?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanze's expression tightened a little, "There is a big official from above, with him, I can rest for a few days." ”

Jiang Jin thought to himself, the people from the imperial court had arrived so early.

It seems that the second batch of funds allocated is fishing law enforcement, and her aunt is stupid to prevent disasters for others.

"Don't talk about me." Jiang Yuanze turned his head and asked Jiang Jin, "I heard that the main family is going to take you back?" ”

Jiang Jin replied "yes" solemnly, "I told my nephew about next spring." ”

Jiang Yuanze bowed, "It's okay to go back, it's just that reading is a chore, and Brother Jin can't be greedy for fun." ”

"That's what Uncle said." Jiang Jin was a little ashamed, "My nephew is planning to find a academy to make up for it." ”

"It's so good, but it's appropriate?"

"There was originally a ......"

Jiang Jin lowered his eyes, and even his voice became smaller.

However, Jiang Yuanze was a little puzzled, "What did it mean originally, could it be that the gentleman of the academy would run away?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present laughed.

Jiang Jin was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his face in his chest.

She had indeed done a lot of bastard things before, and everyone in the county knew that Young Master Jin, who lived in Jiangfu, was greedy for fun and trouble.

"My nephew originally chose the Mountain House, but I accidentally lost the bundle that my mother saved today."

Jiang Yuanze's eyebrows rose sharply when he heard this, and the official authority that had just dispersed rose again, "Lost?" ”

He didn't question what Jiang Jin said, but turned his head and said sharply at his wife Jiang Wei: "There will be theft in the mansion?" ”

Jiang Weishi got up with a trembling smile and covered his panic with a handkerchief, "How come, the subordinates are all trained." ”

She pointed the finger at Jiang Jin again, "Isn't it that Brother Jin secretly went to play cards again, and he used this as an excuse for fear of being said?" ”
