But after listening to it all these years, she suddenly said to the third lady, and she couldn't speak, so she could only respond in the end.

She could only smile and say: "The old lady said with the slave that there has been a batch of new fabrics in the house recently, and today I want the third lady to go over and pick them." The third lady didn't know that as soon as this batch of materials was sent to the old lady's courtyard, the old lady asked the slave to find the third lady. ”

Jiang Wu looked at the room full of clutter.

Inside were stacked with several mahogany boxes that my grandmother had sent me last time.

She replied softly: "Thank you grandmother, and thank you Sister Anya for this trip." ”

Anya looked at the well-behaved and clever girl, and couldn't help but feel pity.

She used to think that the third young lady was the most obedient and well-behaved young lady in the house, but she was unlucky and disgusted the second young lady.

Thankfully, everything is fine now.

Anya said with a smile: "The third lady said that it was funny, it happened that it was summer, and today Miss chose the fabric, so she went to cut a few summer dresses." The slave glanced at the fabrics, there were yarn and brocade, all of which were fashionable nowadays. If you go to a banquet in the future, the young lady should also dress up well. ”

It was a kind reminder, Jiang Wu smiled and took it.

When I arrived at Yuanningju and saw them, the guards and maids in the courtyard saluted.

"Good afternoon, Third Miss."

Jiang Wu looked at the corner of the courtyard, if she was not mistaken, her grandmother should be in the Buddha hall again.

Sure enough, the next moment, Anya smiled and said, "The old lady is in the Buddha Hall, and the young lady will come with the slave." ”

The Buddha hall generally does not allow others to enter, and Chenlian can only stay outside.

Jiang Wu pushed the door and entered, and whispered to the old man inside: "Grandmother." ”

The gods and Buddhas sit high, the hall is full of golden splendor, and the old people who worship the Buddha every day kneel on the futon, facing the incense that is lit, and hold the Buddha beads one by one.

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, she had heard Anya say that her grandmother was in the Buddha hall most of the day, every day

But she looked at the rickety old man at the moment, and she only felt in her heart.

It's not like praying.

She stepped forward to support the old man who was about to get up, and said softly, "Grandmother, slow down." ”

Old Madam Jiang touched her hand and sighed: "Good boy, they are all here, let's put a pillar of incense for the gods and Buddhas." ”

Jiang Wu was not surprised, the few times she came to the Buddha Hall, the first thing her grandmother said to her was to let her put on a pillar of incense.

Because of her rebirth, she is far more devout than others to the gods and Buddhas in the world.

She lit incense and bowed down earnestly.

When she was seriously incense, Mrs. Jiang was on crutches. Because of the years, wrinkles have covered her skin, and there is a little more useless kindness.

At this time, looking at his granddaughter in front of him, the old man faded his previous look, and in front of the gods and Buddhas, he hesitated a little more.

Jiang Wu didn't know it, and carefully incensed it.

When all the rituals were done, she turned to look at the man on crutches behind her, and said softly, "Grandmother." ”

The old man's dizzy eyes were already full of tears at this time, and he looked at his granddaughter opposite and said softly: "When I see my little sister-in-law, my old body always thinks of my wife." ”

Jiang Wu was silent for a moment, and said softly: "If my aunt knows that my grandmother has always remembered her, she will be very happy." In the past, when my aunt was still there, she always told me that I must repay my grandmother's kindness in the future. ”

The old man's eyes shrank for a moment, and then he covered them with a veil.

"Miao Chun is a good boy, alas, if Miao Chun is still there, knowing that Xiao Wu has become a student of the Prime Minister, she will definitely be proud of Xiao Chun. Grandmother knows how much resentment you have in your heart, but we have to look forward. ”

The old man took her hand and patted her as if comfortingly.

Jiang Wu hung her head lightly as usual. After a long time, he said softly, "Grandmother, I know. ”

She didn't say anything resentful or resentful, and if she directly said that she didn't care, her grandmother wouldn't believe it.

Old Madam Jiang sighed, only feeling that Yuying was still too careless.

In the past, if she knew that Xiaowen, the child, had such an opportunity and could win the favor of the prime minister, she should have helped Yuying to do things cleaner.

The old man looked at the plain white dress on Jiang Wu's body, and sighed: "Why is a young lady wearing such plain clothes, why don't you wear the clothes that your grandmother sent you last time." ”

Jiang Wu lowered her eyes and said softly: "Xiao Wu was born without such good clothes, I am afraid that they will be worn out." ”

"What are these words, you are the young lady of Jiang Mansion, you can't wear any clothes."

Old Madam Jiang said this, but she was a lot more relieved in her heart. A child like Xiao Wu, give some pampering, a few worthless dresses, a few outdated jewelry, and if something goes wrong in the future, Xiao Wu will be merciful for the sake of these.

Mrs. Jiang patted Jiang Yan's hand again: "Don't be reluctant to wear clothes, a new batch of fabrics has been sent below, and grandmother will take Xiaowen to pick them out." ”

"I heard that the ladies in Chang'an City like to wear them, and my grandmother also wants to cut two pieces for my little sister-in-law. The little woman is so good-looking, and when she wears new clothes to the banquet in the future, others will only be happy when they see it. ”

At this time, they had already walked out of the Buddha hall, and the gods and Buddhas were behind them.

Resplendent.

Chapter 51

In the afterglow, Jiang Wu could only see the door of the Buddha hall gradually half-covered.

The light of dusk reflected on her face, setting off the girl's clean and beautiful face. Her hand was held by the old man beside her, and the sound of crutches made a soft sound on the ground.

Jiang Wu lowered her eyes and whispered in response to the words from the old man's mouth: "Okay." ”

The servant opened the door of the storeroom in front, and Jiang Wu was ushered in. In the eyes of a piece of wealth and luxury, in a piece of jewelry, Jiang Wu looked at the old man beside her.

Grandmothers have always been simple, and most of the things they give to these juniors on weekdays are not precious.

Old Madam Jiang looked at the surprise in Jiang Wan's eyes and smiled kindly: "Those are grandmother's dowry back then, although some have been used over the years, there are still some left." The little woman has no aunt, the grandmother is distressed, and when the little woman gets married in the future, the dowry will be handled by the grandmother, and the dowry will be more, and it will be good to gain a foothold in the husband's family in the future. ”

This is the number of times my grandmother has talked about marriage today.

Jiang Wu pretended not to know and responded softly. In the last life, when she married Xie Wanwan, her dowry was prepared for her by Xie Wanwan, and those mansions, shops, and silver coins were her divorce from him on the same day, and what he prepared for her could also ensure that she would have no worries for a hundred years.

Mrs. Jiang took Jiang Wan's hand and came to a pile of gorgeous and valuable fabrics.

Jiang Wu was stunned, a young lady from a concubine, wearing these clothes cut out of fabric to other people's banquets, in fact, a bit noisy.

She is used to plain clothes on weekdays, and suddenly wears such a luxurious dress, what should others think.

These things and even the big boxes that were sent to her before, did they want her to make others jealous? But Jiang Wu didn't feel like it, she looked at her grandmother and said softly: "Grandmother, these are too precious, and the little woman can't ask for them." ”

Old Madam Jiang smiled softly and patted her hand: "Don't talk nonsense, clothes are for people to wear, where is the preciousness or not." These are all suitable fabrics for young girls, and it is useless to stay in the old room. The little woman saw that she liked something, picked some up, and her grandmother asked her to make clothes and send them to the little woman's courtyard. ”

That's what it means not to say no.

Jiang Wu's eyes were full of hesitation, and after looking at Mrs. Jiang for a long time, her fingers lightly tapped a few sets of slightly plain ones: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

The slave in the back put away the few sets she pointed to, and Mrs. Jiang went up to add a few more, and instructed the slave: "Let the embroidery workshop in the house be more attentive these days." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Wu kindly: "Little sister-in-law, you have also reached the age of Jilu, and now your grandmother and your father are looking at each other for you." Last time I went to the banquet, did you have a son who matched your eyes? ”

Jiang Wu shook her head.

The last time she was on the boat, Si Luoshui's affairs took up most of her attention. looked at her son or something, and she didn't take it to heart. She came back to Jiang Mansion just to find out what happened to her aunt back then. Now she saw some clues, but she still found a piece of evidence that could verify her conjecture.

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Madam Jiang's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

"The sons who handed over the Geng post last time, although they were all good-looking, but my grandmother went to ask about the situation at home again, and found that they were indeed not good matches for the little sister-in-law. The little woman has only been in the house for a short time, but she is not in a hurry, and it is good to accompany her grandmother in the house for two more years. ”

The old man's eyes showed reluctance at the right time.

Jiang Wu looked at the old man lightly, if it was in the previous life, when she didn't know anything, the old man could treat her like this, she would have cried bitterly.

But at this time, she just whispered: "Listen to grandmother." ”

The jewels in the treasury, the eyes of the girl are particularly good-looking, Mrs. Jiang looked at the well-behaved person in front of her with satisfaction, and said kindly: "In a few days, it will be the banquet of the county lord Ning of the Jingwang Mansion, and the county lord of Ning Yu specially handed over the post, saying that he was very sorry for the accident on the painting boat last time, and wanted to invite the little woman to the banquet again." ”

"In the past few days, the embroidery lady in the house will rush out the clothes, and the little woman can wear the new clothes to the appointment. Grandmother heard that there will be many talented sons at the banquet, and if the little sister-in-law has a son who fits her eyes, she will come back to the house and tell her grandmother. ”

Jiang Wu lowered her head and did not respond immediately.

She was still wondering what her grandmother was doing today. By now, she seems to have understood a little, and her grandmother can't look down on the idle sons who sent Geng Ti last time.

At that time, Xie Xiangwan's attitude towards her was unclear, and the people in Jiang Mansion and other mansions were still hesitating. Two days ago, there was news from the Prime Minister's Mansion that she would be Xie Yuwan's only student.

From here on, the nature of everything changed. Now that the crown prince has been deposed and imprisoned in the East Palace, the dispute between the three princes and the five princes lasted in the previous life until the third year after their marriage.

And the Prime Minister's Mansion never stood in line in the battle for succession, and now all forces want to show favor to Xie Yuwan through her.

Jiang Wu raised her eyes to look at the old man in front of her, and what her grandmother was thinking about was how to get the most benefits for the Jiang family through her. In the previous life, in the dispute between the three princes and the five princes, the Jiang family did not stand in line.

Later, the crown prince ascended the throne and purged many families, and only a few families were not implicated, including the Jiang family.

"I haven't attended these banquets before, is my little woman afraid?" Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, the grandmother asked softly.

Jiang Wu nodded lightly and whispered: "Miss Childe at the banquet, except for the second sister, I don't know any." Everyone was talking, and I had to bow my head and eat a snack. ”

Looking at her well-behaved granddaughter, who was not smart enough, the smile in Mrs. Jiang's eyes was even greater: "In the future, the little woman will become a relative, and the banquet will only be more. Lord Ningyu has invited you again and again, just because he has a good impression of you. ”

Old Madam Jiang looked at her granddaughter and hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay." ”

When Jiang Wu returned to her small courtyard, it was already dusk. The warm yellow light slowly dissipated from the sky, and a round moon revealed some outlines.

Chenlian pushed open the door of the small courtyard, and the lantern at the door reflected the shadows of the two of them.

Jiang Wu entered the courtyard, but did not go to the room, but sat down on a stool in the courtyard. She looked at the moon in the sky, her eyes motionless.

She misses her aunt.

At this time, Chenlian happened to go out of the room, holding a letter in her hand. When she got to Jiang Wu's side, she smiled and said, "Miss, close your eyes." ”

Jiang Yu obediently closed. A faint wind blew past her ears, carrying a not-so-thick scent of pen and ink.

"Miss can open her eyes."

Jiang Wu raised her eyes and saw the letter in front of her.

She was stunned for a moment, because the envelope was covered with her aunt's handwriting. She took it from Chenlian's hand, opened it carefully, and took out a snow-white letter from inside.

The paper is thin, but it is very textured. She opened the letter, and under the faint candlelight, she couldn't see clearly. At some point, Morning Face had already brought a lamp from the room and placed it on the table.

The originally dim pavilion suddenly brightened up, and the warm yellow light shone on the snow-white letterhead, and Jiang Wu could also read the words on the letter clearly.

"Little girl, did you run out of soothing incense last time? My aunt recently made a few more boxes, and Dr. Li looked at them and said that they were better than the last time. In fact, there is no difference between the aunt and the aunt, if only the little sister-in-law could help the aunt give it a try. ”

The letter was only such a short paragraph, but Jiang Wu's eyes were red.
