Chapter 471: There are guests
Chapter 471
"Jiang Su, the steward of Balizhuang, is Madam Liu's son. Aunt Zhang will have to suffer a lot when she goes there." Jiang Muyan lay on the bed and whispered to her sister. Madam Liu was the most effective steward in front of her grandmother. When Aunt Zhang went to Balizhuang, she would be in the hands of her grandmother. It was up to her to control her.
Jiang Liu yawned, "How to arrange her depends on the uncle's intention."
My sister is still young and can't understand the words here. Jiang Muyan explained, "The uncle will not ask about an auntie's daily life every day. If the grandmother really wants to teach her a lesson, she can't tell if it's hard to call her auntie Zhang, so let's wait and see."
"Okay." Jiang Liu was really curious about how his grandmother would clean up Aunt Zhang. The second sister's feet were swollen into braised pig trotters by Concubine Zhang. It was really unreasonable not to let her learn some lessons.
After breakfast the next day, Shu Qiu, who was inquiring about the news, quickly ran back, "Aunt Zhang is packing her luggage, and she will leave for Zhuangzi in an hour."
"So fast?" Jiang Mujin was very surprised.
Jiang Liu explained, "Bali Zhuang is more than a hundred miles away from us. If you don't leave, you won't be able to get there before dark."
Jiang Mujin then remembered that Sixth Sister had been to Balizhuang, and asked, "Is Balizhuang fun? How does it compare to Jiangjiazhuang?"
"You didn't ask the third uncle?" The third uncle took her to turn this Zhuangzi, and then ordered it.
Jiang Mujin shook his head, "My father has been so busy these days that he doesn't even have time to hug the little tree, so how can he take care of me."
The Jiang family held a banquet, and the tables, chairs, wine and meat, etc. had to be handled by the third uncle with the stewards. Jiang Liu explained, "Bali Zhuang has more than 30 acres of fertile land and a large area of land to be reclaimed. There are only two rows of simple farmhouses in the village. Now it should be full of long-term workers who reclaim the wasteland, which is incomparable to our Jiangjiazhuang."
Jiang Mujin opened his mouth wide, "No main courtyard?"
Jiang Liu shook his head, "I didn't have it last winter, I don't know now."
This spring, the mansion was busy with the second uncle's marriage, so he didn't have time to go to the village to build a house, Jiang Mujin shook his head and sighed. Aunt Zhang did not worry about food or clothing in the East Courtyard, how could she bear it when she went to Zhuangzi.
"Look at Fifth Sister, Concubine Zhang is here!" Jiang Liu, who was lying by the window, whispered to Fifth Sister to come quickly. Jiang Mujin hurriedly crawled over and looked at it. Seeing that Aunt Zhang walked into the yard with her head lowered, although her face was a little swollen, she didn't seem to be suffering from her actions, so she was a little puzzled. According to my grandmother's rules, Aunt Zhang made such a big mistake, so she should be playing the board.
Mrs. Chang, who was beside the Chen family, led Aunt Zhang into the east room, smiled and said to Jiang Muzheng on the bed, "Second girl is better? The old lady sent a car to take your aunt to Zhuangzi, and the lady asked the slaves to send the aunt over to Zhuangzi. The two girls apologize."
Jiang Muzheng thanked him and asked Shu Tong to give Mrs. Chang a dozen pennies to send her out before looking at his aunt. Concubine Zhang sat beside her daughter and cried aggrievedly, "The slave has gone to Zhuangzi, what should the girl do?"
Jiang Muzheng said, "Auntie's injury is getting better? You can live in Zhuangzi with peace of mind, don't worry about the house."
"The old lady asked the slaves to kneel and sue the Buddhist scriptures and embroidered scriptures every day, and she also said that she likes to eat fresh melons and fruits..." Zhang Yiniang became more and more uncomfortable. She hadn't touched a **** for more than 20 years, how could she still grow melons . Shimoda is in the sun all day long, and she will soon grow old and ugly, so the master will not hate her.
In Jiang Muzheng's opinion, going to the farmhouse to recite Buddhist scriptures and plant melons and fruits is a hundred times better than in the mansion, but my aunt didn't think so, and she didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to accompany him silently. Concubine Zhang cried for a while before she approached her daughter and whispered, "Miss, if the Wang family general comes again, you must accept this marriage, even being a concubine is better than marrying a poor scholar..."
Concubine? Poor scholar? Jiang Muzheng asked calmly, "What did my aunt hear?"
Concubine Zhang could see that her daughter was angry, but she was about to leave, so she couldn't care less, she just took the time to persuade, "If the girl goes to Wang's house, the way for the second young master will be widened in the future, and the second young master will stand firm. Only girls can rely on them, and slaves can raise their eyebrows..."
Jiang Muzheng clenched the thin quilt tightly with her thin fingers, forcing herself to listen to her finish, then turned around and took out a money bag from under the pillow, "Zhuang Shang is no better than the manor, these Qian Yiniang can be used for flowers, and her daughter will be injured when she recovers. Look for a chance to see my aunt."
Aunt Zhang held the heavy purse with a smile at the corner of her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Second Madam allows the girl to live in such a nice house, which shows that she cherishes the girl. The girl must hold the Second Madam tightly. The eldest lady has the means, and sooner or later, the second lady has the final say in the Jiang's courtyard..."
After her aunt left, Jiang Muzheng stared blankly at the green screen, and was startled by the two small heads that suddenly emerged from the screen. Seeing the two younger sisters looking at her worriedly, Jiang Muzheng hung up softly. smile.
Seeing the second sister smile, Jiang Liu and Jiang Mujin walked out from behind the screen and moved to the bedside. Jiang Muzheng asked in a low voice, "Have you heard what my aunt said?"
The two little guys shook their heads in unison. They liked listening to the corners of the wall, but they could also tell which corners they could listen to and which ones couldn't.
"No."
"We came here after Aunt Zhang left."
Jiang Muzheng said with a smile, "Should you go to Dicuitang? Where's the third sister?"
"The third sister is discussing things in her mother's room. Do the second sister want to go to study together?" Jiang Liu asked.
Jiang Muzheng shook his head, "I have limited mobility, so don't bother."
"What's wrong with this, just ask Qin Qing and Shu Tong to carry you over there." Jiang Liu patted his fleshy little palm, and Qin Qing and Shu Tong carried a soft sedan chair tied with two wooden sticks and a chair. Came in, "Second sister, look!"
A junior, or a concubine, is qualified to sit in this soft sedan chair. Jiang Muzheng was about to refuse nervously when Yazheng came in and said with a smile, "This chair is tied firmly, and if it can't be dropped, Zhenger will also go. Cuitang, if you feel uncomfortable, come back early."
Jiang Liu and Jiang Mujin laughed, Jiang Muzheng calmly responded and went to Dicuitang to study with his three younger sisters. Unexpectedly, they were stopped by Sister Qi as soon as they left the West Courtyard. Sister-in-law Qi whispered, "The girls wait a moment, there are guests coming to the door, let's go after they pass."
Jiang Mujin asked curiously, "Do you know who is here, sister-in-law?"
"It was said to be the wife of Mr. Xu's family in the Ministry of War." Sister Qi replied.
Which is Xu Lang in the Ministry of War? Jiang Liu looked at his sister in confusion. Jiang Muyan explained, "It's the wife of Lord Xu Chong of Yongping Square. When we went with our mother to see the peach blossoms at the residence of Lord Ding, Minister of Officials, on March 25, we met Mrs. Xu and Sister Xuemei of the Xu family. Her plum blossoms are very well drawn."
After saying this, Jiang Liu immediately remembered. That Mrs. Xu and her girl are both fat and chubby, and the Jiang family has no contact with the Xu family. What is she doing now?
