Chapter 13: Not Aggrieved
Jiang Fu Ruyi Hall, the people eat dinner to accompany the old lady jokes, the atmosphere is rare good.
Jiang family a few subordinates one after another from the outside to collect news back, the Duke and Duchess of the Cheng State couple for the Meng three dukes to marry the second girl Jiang, Wu Xiang Fu refused to marry the matter has been spread in the capital. The streets and alleys are abuzz with talk, praising the Duke and Duchess Cheng for remembering their feelings and taking the initiative to ask for a marriage in this situation. They praised Wu Xiangfu for being righteous and not trying to climb up the ladder, and for not returning the favor by shoving their own girl into Chengguo Gongfu…….
The more the old lady and uncle Jiang heard, the happier they were. I didn’t expect to lose the east and gain the west, bear the pain of refusing this marriage, the reputation of the family is better than before two points.
The younger generation and wildly patting the horse’s ass, praising the old lady and Jiang Bo master wisdom and foresight to see the situation, under their leadership, Bo House will become better and better and so on. The old lady was so happy that her face was full of chrysanthemums, and uncle Jiang’s laughter was unceasing. At this time, they feel that this result is their decision-making wise.
Only Jiang Xun heart some indignation, want to say something, but see sister a cloudy look do not know anything, think or sister powerful. He himself was indeed too hairy and superficial as his sister had said. Have to change!
Jiang YiYan asked an inoffensive question, “Grandmother, after this is settled, there’s no need to punish second sister for going to the manor, right?”
The old madam glanced at Jiang Yixi and said regretfully, “Although the outcome is good, things have really gone wrong. Alas, girl shi will go to the manor for the time being to take shelter, and once the wind has passed grandmother will let someone pick you up and bring you back.”
Uncle Jiang also said, “Shi-Ya-Tou don’t feel aggrieved. This is also a lesson for you, no matter what time of the day, you must pay attention to the safety of your surroundings. Think about it, there were so many people at that time, why did that person just bump into you and you didn’t dodge it?”
Jiang Yishi ignored Jiang Yiyan’s cackling, crisp laughter and said, “Eldest Uncle was right to remind me, I don’t feel aggrieved.”
She had also been wondering who hit her with such vigor. She had asked the other few girls of the Jiang family and the maids that followed, and none of them had seen the girl who hit her, and that person ran away in fear after hitting her. Their kind of family, the Grand Princess Palace also did not give a statement.
The people left Ruyi Hall, Mrs. Jiang asked Jiang Yishi to go to the manor what other requirements.
Jiang Yishi shook her head and didn’t say yes.
Mrs. Jiang added, “Shui Lu that girl is not small anymore, her mother gave her a good marriage, she will not go with you to the manor. Leaving a spot open, I’ll pick another proper maid for you.”
Jiang Yishi said, “Then give me the kitchen’s simple girl. She’s strong, and it’s always safer to have such a maid by your side in the countryside.”
Great Lady Jiang didn’t expect Jiang Yishi to ask for the Bean Girl, and glared at Jiang YiYan, who laughed out loud, and immediately nodded her head in agreement.
Seeing the distant back, Jiang YiYan softly said, “Mother, is second sister stupid from the water?”
First Lady Jiang snapped, “Look at you, you’re talking about your in-laws and you’re still childlike.”
Jiang YiYan coyly twisted her handkerchief and quietly asked, “Mother, can that matter be said?”
First Lady Jiang said, “You are the daughter of the uncle, marrying the nephew of the marquis, it is also considered to be the right family …….”
Jiang Yishi returned to Scorched Courtyard, Shui Lu had already finished packing her things, carrying a small parcel over to kowtow to her master to say goodbye.
Jiang Yishi only said, “Take care of yourself.”
As Sister Wu went out, Shui Xiang quietly pulled out a purse from her bosom and handed it over to Jiang Yishi, her face slightly flushed, her heart cursing that little wavy hoof for being shameless.
“Miss, is it this purse?”
Jiang Yi shi took it, peach-colored satin, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks, inside the purse, an inconspicuous corner embroidered with the word “dew”. Shui Lu got her mother, Sister Xia’s true heritage, embroidery work in the maids belongs to the top, this pair of mandarin ducks embroidered vividly.
She laughed and said, “This is it. Hmph, the marriage has not yet been finalized, and already started embroidering the mandarin ducks, wanting a man to go crazy.”
This was the object that packed up Shui Lu, only that she had to wait for a while before she could use it.
Although Shui Xiang wondered what the girl wanted this dirty thing for, but did not dare to ask more.
Jiang Xun came over to deliver the Immediate Medical Forest, and he was happy for his sister when he saw Shui Lu being kicked out.
“That girl will only smile at the people in the big house, it’s good to be gone.”
Jiang Yishi laughed, “Brother is still full of insight.”
“That’s true, I’m not stupid. It would be good to transfer mother Qin back to my side, in my heart, mother Qin’s smile is the most gentle. Oh, sister’s smile is also gentle.”
Still afraid that her sister would get angry, she curtly heated and laughed twice.
Jiang Yi shi of course wouldn’t be angry, before she indeed didn’t laugh much with her brother much. The face of a handsome little daughter-in-law also surfaced in front of her eyes, when she smiled, her two eyes curved.
That was Mama Qin, Jiang Xun’s nursemaid, Hu’s former personal maid. Not only was she good to Jiang Xun, she was also very good to Jiang Yishi. When serving Jiang Xun, she often came to see Jiang Yishi, and even embroidered beautiful handkerchiefs to send her. When Jiang Xun was four years old, because of the Qin mother man got consumptive disease, afraid of over the sick gas, the big lady sent the family to Dingzhou side of the manor.
Jiang Yishi asked Sister Wu, “Sister, do you know the recent situation of Mama Qin?”
Sister Wu was quite puzzled, she had mentioned Mama Qin twice before and the girl didn’t even squeak, but today she took the initiative to ask. Sighing, “Chunmei has been having a hard time, her man died of illness two years ago, dragging a son and a daughter by herself, it’s a tough life. Alas, Dingzhou hundreds of miles away from the capital, want to take care of it is difficult, my family has rich only sent her money twice to go.”
Chunmei is Qin mother’s maiden name.
Jiang Xun’s eyes were red.
Mama Qin and Sister Wu’s family were all Hu’s dowry, and the people belonged to Hu and not to the Wu Xiangbei House, so their slave deeds should be in the old lady’s hands now. Because the man Mama Qin married was a steward in the house, the family was also deployed with Grand Madame Jiang.
Jiang Yishi thought that if there was an opportunity in the future, she would have to ask for the slave deeds of a few of them.
She pulled Jiang Xun and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go to Huzhuang on the third day of the lunar month, and then I’ll have Brother Dafu make a trip to Dingzhou, and think of a way to bring Mama Qin’s family over.”
Of course, it would be best to have Mama Qin come back to continue serving Jiang Xun. Grandma Wu had once said that Chunmei had been with Hu since she was eight years old, the two had grown up together, studied with Mr. Hu together, and was literate and gentle in nature. With her taking care of Jiang Xun, Jiang Yishi was also relieved.
After Jiang Xun left, Jiang Yishi watched “Immediate Medical Forest” until midnight before resting.
She had a peaceful sleep. She didn’t dream about the “catching adultery” scene, nor did she dream about Meng Zhimo. That nightmare, finally no longer accompanied her.
Early in the morning, the morning breeze blew into the small window, the birds chirped and sang a happy song. From the corner of the small window, one could see a small piece of the morning sun, reflected in the blue sky, red and brilliant.
It was a new day.
Jiang Yishi felt that this morning was extraordinarily different, the wind was sweeter than usual.
