Chapter 5

The second year of their marriage, the third month.

Jiang Wu hadn't seen the white silk that only she could see for a long time, and she was very busy every day now, very, very, very busy.

Xie Yuwan invited a special master to teach her poetry, two hours a day.

The things in the house also began to gradually come into her hands, a lot, a lot, a lot...... She can even handle it from morning to next morning and so on as long as she wants.

But if you do too many things, you will inevitably go wrong.

After only a month in charge of the affairs of the house, she made a big mistake - preparing the wrong birthday gift.

The old lady of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an was a rare person who helped the Xie family under Long Wei back then, and she was a noble person of the entire Xie family.

She was prepared for the wrong old lady's birthday gift.

The old lady was extremely disgusted with peonies because of her childhood experience. And she prepared a birthday gift, just prepared a rare jade peony, and after the birthday banquet was given, the old lady's face suddenly changed.

She was reminded by a familiar lady and knew the doorway.

Although the old lady's face was cold for a moment, she knew that she had made a big mistake. Even if she didn't do it on purpose, it was a great offense.

She used to go out infrequently, rarely attended banquets, and did not understand the likes and dislikes of the family next to her. If she was just Miss Jiang San who couldn't get out of the mansion back then, it would be nothing.

But she is now Xie Wanwan's wife......

Her actions will only chill the old lady's heart.

While dealing with the account book in her hand, she was thinking about how to make amends to the old lady, and how to talk to Xie Yuwan about this matter, thinking like this, she suddenly thought of ......

This birthday gift, she asked Xie Xiangwan?

Xie Yuwan glanced at her lightly: "Jade peony, um." ”

Jiang Wu's brain suddenly became bigger, and she suddenly hesitated to talk about it with Xie Yuwan. Hesitating, she stopped the pen, placed it on the pen holder, propped her head, and blinked.

So, thank you for being late, why didn't you tell her?

She didn't quite believe it, he didn't know.

Her mind is chaotic, and in the past few months, she has been very chaotic in addition to being busy. Because...... Thank you for being late, it's actually good for her.

Okay, there's already something more than respect. Therefore, he will not watch her make mistakes for no reason and not look at her.

Why is that?

Before she could come up with an answer, she heard Xiaochun report: "Madam, Tangtang asks to see you." ”

Tangtang is the big girl next to Xie Yuwan, and she grew up with Xie Yuwan since she was a child. After Xie Xiang became a supreme minister, he was in charge of all affairs in the palace.

Before getting married, Xie Yuwan lived in Jiang's house for a short time because of some things. At that time, she had some encounters with Tangerine Candy.

Later, when she married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she learned that the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion have always been in charge of Tangtang Candy.

In the past few years, Tangtang has kept the Prime Minister's Mansion in good order, and seriously, it is much better than what she is doing now.

When she first took over the affairs of Fuchu, she was actually reluctant.

She knew the deep relationship between Tangtang and Xie Yuwan, and was afraid that because of the housekeeper's affairs, Tangtang and Xie Wanwan would be estranged from her. But after Tangerine Candy unloaded the housekeeping, he became much closer to her.

At this time, Tangtang Candy jumped in from outside: "Lady, Childe is waiting for you in the study." ”

Jiang Wu's eyes curled into a smile and responded.

Most of the people in the house call her "madam", and there is only orange candy, and they will affectionately call her "lady".

Xie Yuwan asked Tangtang to call her at this time, mostly because of the wrong birthday gift. Jiang Wu rubbed her head and had a headache. There doesn't seem to be much other way than to admit mistakes.

said this to herself in her heart, but Jiang Wu was actually a little apprehensive.

What she was more afraid of than the embarrassment at the banquet, than the possible blame, and the gossip among the ladies of the circle, was his disappointed eyes.

He taught her for a long time, but she made such a big mistake that the relationship between the old lady of the Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion became stiff.

At this time, what Xie Yuwan should know that the old lady doesn't like the jade peony but why is it different What I said has completely disappeared from Jiang Wu's mind.

She just thought.

He must ...... Will you be disappointed?

She's scared...... His disappointment.

Tangtang looked at Jiang Wu's whole person sullen, like a gourd with a gagged mouth, remembering the reaction of the master in the study, and couldn't help laughing: "Lady, in fact, the son is very talkative." "Especially the lady said. The latter sentence, Tangtang swallowed silently.

Jiang Wu was a little stunned, and suddenly heard this, and tightened her sleeve with one hand.

Tangtang shook his head helplessly and pushed open the door of the study: "Childe, the lady is here." ”

Xie Yuwan didn't stop, just raised his eyes lightly, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

Before Jiang Wu's footsteps were lifted, Tangtang Candy retreated directly. Her hand twisting her sleeve loosened for a moment, and she stubbornly passed, and finally stopped at his desk, like a student who had made a mistake, waiting for her master to scold.

Xie Yuwan picked up the pen again and said lightly: "Come here." ”

She was stunned, walked around the desk, walked to him, and took the initiative to admit her mistake: "I messed up the birthday banquet." ”

Xie Xiangwan bowed his head, and his eyes were deep.

"How?"

Jiang Wu was dumbfounded, she actually thought he knew. But he wanted her to repeat it again, so she obediently repeated: "The old lady doesn't like peonies, and the birthday gift I prepared is a jade peony." ”

As for "why you know but don't tell me", Jiang Wu didn't dare to say a word. She didn't have the anger of being teased, only a faint grievance, lingering in her heart, making her eyes a little astringent.

When this emotion was realized by herself, she felt a little strange. But Xie Yuwan kept looking at her, and most of that strange thought disappeared, and she only lowered her head guiltily.

Xie Yu stayed for a long time, and he didn't wait for Jiang Yu to say a word.

He paused with the pen in his hand and said coldly: "Tangtang will go to your courtyard from tomorrow." ”

Still disappointed? Jiang Wu was stunned, and her heart suddenly became a little astringent.

"Okay." After saying that, she hung her head and was about to walk out of the courtyard.

"Half an hour." Xie Yuwan didn't stop the pen in his hand, and said softly.

Jiang Wu's footsteps stopped, blinked, and waited obediently on the side. Before Xie wanted to go in the evening, he picked a book for her: "My homework should be about to come here, and I will come to find me tomorrow in the evening with my master." ”

“……”

Jiang Wu puffed out her face, but soon began to read it seriously, don't blame her, she has been really busy lately, homework exams or something, and it is normal for her not to remember the time.

Why are you going to take the exam again?

Xie Yuwan paused to hold the pen and shook his head lightly.

*

The next day.

Tangerine came over with a deed of sale.

Jiang Wu was surprised and took the small wooden box containing the deed of sale. She didn't expect that Xie Yuwan said to let Tangtang Candy come, this is it.

came with a deed of sale, and after Tangerine Candy, she was her maid.

Afraid that Tangerine Candy would feel uncomfortable because of this incident, Jiang Wu's face was a little apprehensive.

Tangtang looked at this lady who wrote her heart on her face, sighed lightly, and secretly said in her heart, whether you can slap your face, son, I feel sorry for the lady's tiredness, and I have to find a lady's fault to send her to the lady.

She can only say that her son-in-law, the whole body, the mouth is the hardest.

*

After Tangerine Candy arrived by her side, Jiang Wu was a lot more relaxed on weekdays.

Divide the things in the house into a part of Tangerine, and she can go to study her homework in the morning with peace of mind, and she can also take the exam well. For a while, she was comfortable, and she forgot a little about why Tangerine Candy came to her side in the first place.

After three months.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Wu opened her eyes and looked at Xie Yuwan beside her.

So, why didn't he tell her that the old lady didn't like peonies?

The next day, with the dark circles under everyone's love, Jiang Wu successfully attracted the attention of Tangtang Candy.

Tangtang hesitated: "Lady, ...... last night"

She was stunned and hurriedly shook her head: "No, I am, I am, thinking about things." ”

After denying it, Jiang Yu covered her face, she was denying something, something.

Tangtang smiled and flipped back, and then suddenly approached: "So what did the lady think about last night and couldn't sleep?" ”

Jiang Wu blinked and said softly, "The birthday gift." ”

Tangtang's eyelids jumped: "Haven't you told your mother yet?" Then how did he tell the lady to let me come to the lady to serve. ”

Jiang Wu was stunned by Tangtang's reaction: "That's it, send it over." ”

Tangtang's eyelids continued to jump: "Didn't the son tell the lady that he was too tired because he felt sorry for the lady, so he sent me to the lady?" "She deliberately aggravated the word 'distressed'.

Jiang Wu shook her head obediently, and then, slowly reacting, the word 'distressed' in her ears began to get hot.

She was stunned for a moment, and then buried her face with the book.

Fifth year of marriage, first month.

It's been five years, and everything in Jiang Mansion is far enough away from her. A year ago, Jiang Yu was reported, took bribes, and was sued to the imperial front. The evidence is conclusive, and the Son of Heaven confiscated more than half of the Jiang family's property while saying that the net was open. Over the years, the Jiang family has been financially maintainable, but after the family property was confiscated, there were constant accidents in the shop, and soon the Jiang family had no money.

With no money, Jiang Yu embarked on the old road of collecting bribes again, but he had been stared at, and as soon as he received it, he was discovered and lost his official position.

The second sister, who was married a few years ago, is married. Originally, with the power of the Jiang family, he commanded his command in the husband's family, but as soon as Jiang Yu's official fell, the husband's family suddenly became angry, and the husband's family, who was used to being bullied, also bullied back.

Once you come and go, it's dog-eat-dog.

As for Jiang Mingming, after her beloved sister Jiang Miaomiao became a monk, she really married to Jiangnan.

As for her, it is actually difficult for her to describe the relationship between her and Xie Yuwan.

Their beginnings were so complicated that she couldn't get over that hurdle even if she was occasionally tempted. She didn't know what he thought of her in his heart.
