Chapter 4: Knocking on the door
There was silence in the room for a while, and then the faint voice of the second aunt came.
"Come in."
Jiang sat on the main seat with a calm face, raised his hand and wiped his cheeks with a handkerchief.
Although she didn't want Ye Jingzhao to come in, she didn't want to embarrass this girl too much at this juncture.
Xie Shi lowered his head and sat in the position of his lower hand, his expression showing a little panic.
She really didn't expect the Jiang family to come to the door.
Ye Jingzhao pushed open the door, walked in slowly, and saluted the Jiang family and the Xie family one by one.
Jiang waved his hand and glanced at Mama Liao.
Mama Liao understood, bowed down to the front of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family got up and put one hand on Mama Liao's elbow.
Only then did he look at Ye Jingzhao and said, "The eldest lady of the Hou Mansion sent someone to send an invitation, inviting you to come to the mansion tomorrow to enjoy the flowers, and you don't have to go to the school tomorrow, I will take you to the Hou Mansion for a banquet." β
Ye Jingzhao was slightly stunned.
Xie Shi raised his eyes and looked at the second sister-in-law with the courage, "Second sister-in-law, how can I work you, according to the etiquette, it should be me who takes Zhaozhao to the banquet." β
She knew in her heart that this would definitely annoy the Jiang family.
But she had to.
In the words of the Jiang family, there was no trace of the intention of taking her to the banquet with him.
Let her daughter go to the tiger and wolf's den alone, how can she rest assured.
Seeing a cold mang from the Jiang family, Xie felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help shrinking his body.
"Let you go?" Jiang's voice was cold, revealing a bit of mockery, "If it is because you have lost the rules, but you have lost face to the fourth miss, wouldn't it make people laugh at our fourth miss." β
Ye Jingzhao's heart sank, and his eyes were full of cold light.
Jiang glanced at her, and couldn't help but say a little more tactfully, "It's the first time you come to the door, it's not good to be rude, next time you will accompany the fourth lady." β
Mama Liao helped Jiang out of the door.
Xie Shi held his daughter's hand tightly with a nervous face, looking anxious, "Zhaozhao......"
"Mother doesn't have to worry, my daughter will only follow quietly behind the second aunt tomorrow, and the second uncle's mother will take me over, if something goes wrong with me, the second aunt's face will not look good."
After some persuasion, Xie finally settled down.
Ye Jingzhao learned why the second aunt suddenly came to the door today.
It turned out that her father somehow had an intersection with the brother of the second aunt's mother's family.
The Jiang family is from the Kyoto family Xiaoyong Marquis's mansion, and the current Xiaoyong Marquis and Jiang are brothers and sisters of the same mother.
Because the Jiang family is a young woman, she has been pampered by gold and jade since she was a child.
It's a little too stubborn, and his eyes are above the top.
Up and down the Jiang family, if you say who dislikes the Jiang family the most, it is only the eldest brother of the Jiang family, the current Xiaoyong Marquis.
Although the eldest brother is like a father, this younger sister has been protected by her mother's younger siblings since she was a child, but she doesn't take anyone seriously.
Because Xiao Yonghou does not smile, he often has a straight face, looking extremely stern and pedantic.
When Jiang looked back at his eldest brother, he was a little stunned in his heart.
Xiao Yonghou learned that this young sister pushed out the concubine of the third room to make a name for herself.
I didn't like it in my heart, but I felt that my face was dull and panicked.
The lady in this high-ranking courtyard may have lived too smoothly in her life, and if she doesn't find someone to grind, I'm afraid she will have nothing to do.
immediately sent someone to send a letter to the Jiang family, asking the Jiang family to return to his parents' home.
Jiang's face was gloomy, and she had a grudge in her heart, and she was not the master who swallowed her anger, so she found the third room right now, so that she could get out of this resentment in her heart.
Early the next morning, Jiang ordered Mama Liao to send a brand-new gold silk head and clothes.
Ye Jingzhao asked the red dates to change into the clothes sent by the Jiang family for himself, and told Wang's mother to take a closer look at her mother's body.
That's when I got out of the house.
Red Jujube helped the fourth lady into the carriage, and then stood guard outside the window.
"Second aunt." Ye Jingzhao bowed his knees slightly.
Jiang only responded superficially, and then motioned for her to sit down.
In the carriage, I didn't see the figure of the third sister, in the previous life, the eldest lady of the solemn Hou Mansion also invited her to come over after she got married, and the Jiang family took her to go at that time, but the Jiang family still took the third sister at that time.
Now that she should get married, many things are quietly changing.
After the carriage stopped, Ye Jingzhao slowly put away his thoughts, put on a respectful gesture on his face, and took over the work of Mama Liao helping the Jiang family to get out of the carriage.
Jiang Shi was stunned, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ye Jingzhao.
Isn't this girl changing sex today? When did you become so flattering?
She didn't know Ye Jingzhao's thoughts.
She supported the Jiang family and swore secretly in her heart.
Jiang's mother and daughter owe them three lives, and this time, she wants to ask for it back from Jiang's hands!
The lower she looked, the more she cautioned herself.
Don't forget the bitter despair in the darkness.
The more peaceful she was with the Jiang family, the clearer she remembered the tragic death of her parents and her own tragic death.
Even if every time she thought about it, her heart was like a knife, and the flesh and blood on her body were a little bit of the pain of being ripped off to the bone.
Little by little, she plucked out the fear and hatred in her heart with her own hands, threw them into the dark and lightless secret room in her heart, and looked at the hatred that had risen high.
One day, she will use the Jiang family's mother and daughter to commemorate the hatred that has been built high.
"Second Mrs. Ye, our lady has just broken her foot, so it is inconvenient to go out to greet her, and I hope that Second Mrs. Ye will not care."
The grandmother who came to greet a few people was the eldest lady's personal housekeeper, Mama Song.
"My friendship with her does not require these courtesies." Jiang explained with a smile.
Mama Song welcomed people in, but after the Jiang family entered the door, she paused, glanced back at Ye Jingzhao, bowed slightly at her, and smiled knowingly.
Ye Jingzhao responded with a light smile.
Only then did Mama Song enter the solemn Hou Mansion.
The eldest lady of the Sumu Hou Mansion Zhao is the widow of the first Su Mu Hou, half a year ago, Su Mu Hou suddenly died violently, and he had not yet had time to ask for the position of the only son of the same Zhao family.
According to the law, it should have been her fiancΓ©, Young Master Mu, who should inherit the title.
However, Mrs. Mu is still young with her eldest grandson and young qualifications, and she is not worthy of inheriting the title of marquis.
The Holy One also gave permission to this.
This title hangs in the air for a while, and it is going to cause trouble.
Now the old lady of the Su Mu Hou Mansion is still in charge.
"Yunzhu, I can be regarded as looking forward to you."
When the group entered the courtyard of the big house, Zhao stepped forward with a smile, held Jiang with both hands, called her name, and looked behind Jiang again.
Sanfang's daughter-in-law, she already knows something.
When she was young, she went to work with her parents, although her father was a concubine of the Bofu, he could be motivated, if he hadn't been pressed by the second room, he would have moved up a few steps earlier.
Her mother, I heard that she was only the only daughter of a teacher.
Although it is not comparable to the noble family of Kyoto, or the scholarly family of the Kyoto era.
But I think her character will not be much worse.
It's just that some of my sons have been wronged.
If it weren't for these things, the son's father-in-law's family would also be a prestigious family in Kyoto, or a scholarly family for generations, and only the concubines raised by such families would be able to take on the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan.
That's it.
I think that these things are just plain and blocking.
Now that their mother and son are in a situation, where will anyone in Kyoto be willing to send their daughter?
Thinking like this, Zhao's heart calmed down a bit.
"Zhenrong, my three girls are naughty, otherwise I would have sent them to you, and now, the four girls I picked for you, you see, can you still get into the eyes?"
