In the front hall, although Jiang Zongguang sat very upright, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, Jiang Changgong and his wife were gone, and I heard that the eldest lady was now in charge, so I didn't know if I would take in their poor relatives.

The other three people who came with them all sat quietly beside them.

"The eldest lady has arrived." Jiang Cheng's words attracted the attention of all four people.

Jiang Zongguang also hurriedly stood up and bent down at Ning Ruyan, who walked in: "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

The rest of the people also bowed.

"The third uncle is exempt." Ning Ruyan smiled, "Third uncle, forgive me, I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time since I married into the Jiang family, so I'm not familiar with my relatives in my hometown." ”

In fact, she is familiar with it, at this time in her previous life, this Jiang Zongguang also brought these people to the capital, that man is his nephew Jiang Yaogen, and the slightly older boy is Jiang Yaogen's son Jiang Chengfeng, and he entered Beijing to participate in the autumn festival next month.

The remaining young boy is an orphan in the village, I don't know what the big name is, but the nickname is called Little Wolf, his father died of illness when he was five years old, no one is willing to adopt him, so he can only wander around, often grab food with wild dogs, a momentum that is not afraid of death, so everyone called him a little wolf cub, and then called him a little wolf.

Later, the village chief couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave him a bite to eat from time to time, and didn't let him starve to death.

The reason why I brought him here was to be a scholar for Jiang Chengfeng, after all, it would take silver to hire a scholar, and it would be useless to hire this little wolf.

Jiang Zongguang hurriedly introduced a few people to Ning Ruyan.

Ning Ruyan glanced at the little wolf and nodded with a smile: "It stands to reason that my relatives should be taken in, but the third uncle, you also know, the family has had two funerals in a row, this is ......"

Jiang Zongguang frowned: "Bonian daughter-in-law, are we not welcome?" Is this your hospitality? ”

"Third uncle, look at what you said, did I say I disagreed? But some people in the imperial examination will always be taboo, isn't this a greeting in advance? Besides, I'm just a woman, and it's the old men who call the shots in the house. Ning Ruyan's face also sank, "Since you think I reminded you wrongly, let's wait for the uncle to come back." After saying that, he got up, "I'll be out of company first." Then he turned and walked away.

Jiang Zongguang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly slapped the table: "Bonian daughter-in-law, what is your attitude?" ”

Ning Ruyan walked straight without looking back, to be honest, if she was late, she was worried that she would slap this old thing.

In the previous life, Lian Susu and Jiang Bowen's son was sent to the Jiang family through the hands of this old thing, and became her son Jiang Changqing, I remember that this old thing looked at her very gratefully and said that the child's parents are all dead, it is really pitiful, if she adopts it, it will be a great virtue.

Now it seems that she is a joke by them.

Although even Su Su's son was not born in this life, she can't forget this person's face.

Jiang Zongguang saw that Ning Ruyan ignored him, so he could only find the housekeeper Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng was just a subordinate, and he couldn't be the master, so he could only send someone to find Jiang Bonian while going to Jiang Bowen.

Jiang Bowen originally didn't want to see people, after all, he was quite embarrassed now, and although there was no obvious wound in that place, it hurt when he moved, which was more uncomfortable than being stabbed, but at this time, he had to grit his teeth and get up to receive him.

Fortunately, there are many courtyards in Jiang's mansion, so it is no problem to arrange a place to live for the time being, and I also asked the kitchen to prepare some food and send it over.

Jiang Zongguang finally felt that he had regained face, glanced at Jiang Bowen, who was pale, and couldn't help sighing: "Bowen, you are the male master of the family, how can you let a woman handle it?" As for that woman of the Ning family, you have to let your brother divorce her. ”

Jiang Bowen glanced at Jiang Zongguang in surprise: "Third uncle, sister-in-law is pregnant." ”

"Really? That's a good thing. Jiang Zongguang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Women, you have to have children, otherwise what's the use of asking for it?" Later, he babbled a lot about how women can't get used to it, and even said "the downed mother-in-law rubbed the noodles", in short, she felt that Ning Ruyan was too arrogant, and she had to let Jiang Bonian come back and clean up well.

"Third uncle, after so many days, let's rest first, and besides, Brother Chengfeng also wants to read books, what's the matter, let's talk about it when the eldest brother comes back." Jiang Bowen got up directly and said goodbye.

"Third uncle, after Changgong passed away, I feel that the world has changed in this family." Jiang Yaogen couldn't help frowning after Jiang Bowen left, where is the benefit if it goes on like this?

"Okay, don't worry about this, these days, take care of Brother Feng first, the most important thing is Qiuyu." Jiang Zongguang waved his hand, "When Brother Feng is raised, it will be equivalent to a serious career." ”

Jiang Yaogen nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "But uncle, I should have found a little girl to come over to serve Brother Feng, the little wolf is an orphan, what can I do?" ”

"Are you stupid?" Jiang Zongguang slapped his nephew, "What should I do if the little girl hooks Brother Feng?" Our brother Feng is going to marry a woman from a wealthy family. ”

Jiang Yaogen stopped talking.

"As for the little wolf...... Jiang Zongguang frowned, "The capital is not as good as the village, and the career is not as good as farming, if something happens in the future, it will be a good scapegoat, understand?" As for the girl, what use can't you buy if you have money? ”

"It's still the third uncle."

Jiang Zongguang waved his hand: "Okay, be cautious in your words and deeds these days." ”

In the Wutong Courtyard, Xin Yi relayed the overheard words to Ning Ruyan, and did not forget to glance at Mulberry Leaf, after all, such a job as eavesdropping on the corner of the wall was arranged by Mulberry Leaf for her.

Sang Ye smiled: "Xin Yi, since you have come to Wutong Courtyard, you have to follow the customs, listening to such things in the corner of the wall, it is very fascinating, I believe that it will not be long before you will fall in love with this job." ”

The corners of Xin Yi's mouth twitched, speechless.

Ning Ruyan took a deep breath: "Mulberry leaves, you go and arrange for two beautiful girls to serve in the guest house, especially to take care of the future lifting man." ”

Jiang Chengfeng is eighteen years old this year, handsome, and his temperament looks very gentle, but he is actually a hypocrite.

After that, he entered the Hanlin Academy and became a "Shu Jishi", which can be described as a bright future. (End of chapter)
