Chapter 84: The Plan of Separation
Jiang Yishi added, “I heard that Great-Uncle Mother wants Third Brother to take the Jingwu Hall exam with my brother? Ouch, great-uncle mother should have told me earlier, I’ll go beg Grandfather Meng to ask his old man to add third brother’s name to the list again.”
The first lady was shocked, who had overheard her and uncle, and told this dead girl?
She couldn’t help it, and said with a stern face, “You’re a girl, why do you listen to the wind, where did I say that kind of thing. Who told you that?”
Jiang Yi shi smiled, “People kindly told me, how can I tell her out.” Her face turned serious again, “Auntie, some of the subordinates always think that we orphans are easy to bully, and they always want to step on us. I put my words here, if anyone dares to touch my brother again, I will not spare him, if you don’t believe me, try it.”
After saying that, she walked towards Jiang Yirou who was standing under the big tree in front of her.
Big madam wanted to stop Jiang Yirou and give her a good scolding, but that dead girl’s words were not true, and being too serious would make people feel that they were weak-minded. She held back her anger, looked at her two maids with an unkind face, and walked towards the main courtyard.
Jiang Yirou suspiciously asked, “Eldest Auntie’s face doesn’t look good, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Yishi then told the matter of Sister Qin and Xiaohong eating Jiang Xun’s rice with abdominal leakage, “Eldest Auntie said that her stomach is also not good, suspecting which part of the kitchen has made a mistake.”
Let Jiang Yirou pass this matter to the third wife and his wife know, those two are not stupid.
As for the First Mistress, first let her and her inner circle play cat and mouse. Flowers want to catch a mouse to play a long way to go, the big lady can have a lot of mice around with her to catch. This time as a bonus.
Thinking of the ear of the wind, Jiang Yixi mood is very good, pulling Jiang Yirou to the garden to fold the wax plums into a bottle.
There are a few wax plum trees in the garden, the flowers are golden, covered with snow, and you can smell the fragrance before you even get close.
Jiang Yishi and Jiang Yirou each folded two, one to take back to their own house to insert, one to the mother and brother.
At the fork in the road, the two parted ways, Jiang Yirou went to the third lady.
Third madam heard Jiang Yirou’s words, her face sank.
“Silly girl, shi yatou is deliberately handing words to you. She first had suspicions, then let her subordinates try the food, and also dared to pass the word to the First Lady, showing that she was certain that the First Lady had done the deed. But this thing she can’t explicitly say out, can only knock the tiger across the mountain, let the big lady convergence some. And then through you to pass the word to me and your father to know, so that we are on guard. The fact that the First Mistress held back her anger and didn’t make a scene also shows that she has a weak heart.”
Jiang Yirou looked at Third Mistress with some confusion, “So troublesome, wouldn’t it be better for Second Sister to come and talk to Mother directly?”
Third Mistress poked her in the head, “You’ll be fourteen in a few years, you’re still like a child. Think about it, Xi Ya Tou is a junior, and she hasn’t caught any concrete evidence, how can she say that the elders are wrong. Didn’t she put the blame on the kitchen? Alas, the orphan is pitiful, and it’s hard for her.”
Face again color gloomy down, “sister-in-law more and more over the top, looking at the children of the other room than their own children are not happy, but also dare to drug the food, we can still live in peace of mind? Wait for your father to come back and tell him ……”
Jiang Yishi returned to the scorching courtyard from Jiang Xun and hugged Hua Hua into the bedroom.
Hua Hua said that the main courtyard is in a frenzy, the big madam’s stewardesses and personal big maids are cursing and swearing that they didn’t betray their masters, accusing each other. Those who couldn t say it clearly were also beaten, and the big maid on duty that day was also expelled from the house ……
Jiang Yishi laughed out loud, divisive tactics are still very good. Those few underlings stepped on the high and low no one good thing, deserve to be cleaned up.
In the evening, Mr. Jiang went home and praised Jiang Xun for being able to enter the Jingwu Hall. He smiled not as exaggerated as Jiang Bozhi, and his words were not as beautiful as Jiang Bozhi’s. Jiang Yishi felt that he was much more sincere.
On the eleventh day of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the third master Jiang specially took a day off to send Jiang Xun to the Beijing martial arts hall. The one who stayed there with Jiang Xun, there was also the boy Wang Fu. After that, except for holidays and long vacations, they went home for one day every ten years.
Jiang Yishi stuffed a purse containing five taels of silver and fifty taels of silver bills into Jiang Xun’s arms, and watched the three people on the big horse and the carriage with the things on it go away.
Jiang Yishi had the feeling of a child growing up and spreading its wings to fly into the boundless sky.
There was loss, but more than that, there was happiness and relief.
From now on, she started thinking about Jiang Xun coming home in nine days. In this home, she was the only one thinking about Jiang Xun. Of course, she missed Meng Ruimo who was nowhere to be found.
Meng Ruimo still has a Meng Elder Duke to think about, while Jiang Xun only has her to think about.
The fourteenth day of the winter moon is the full moon of the eldest grandson of the eldest house, Jiang Xing, the Jiang family invited some relatives and friends to drink the full moon wine.
Jiang Yishi saw the child for the first time, looking white and chubby, very cute, also grinning toothless mouth at her smile. Jiang Yishi’s eyes are full of tenderness, children are always the most adorable.
Great Grandma Jiang was a bit angry that Jiang Yishi didn’t go to see her specifically when she returned to the house, and she was cold. Jiang Yishi pretended not to see, sent the little one a gold collar and a gold lock, on behalf of Jiang Xun sent a pair of gold bracelets.
On the evening of the 19th day of the winter moon, the sky was dark and it was snowing heavily outside.
In Ruyi Hall, the people accompanied the old lady to talk and laugh, waiting for the third master and Jiang Xun to go home for dinner.
Jiang Xun returned before Third Master. He was wearing the equivalent of a low-level military officer’s military attire and had a horsewhip in his hand, really looking like a teenage officer. He had not seen him for only nine days, had darkened a bit, seemed more robust, and was more like Jiang Chen.
He also went to Taste of Fresh Restaurant to buy two roasted chickens to add food at home. The words are also good, “This roast chicken is soft and delicious, the old ancestor will like it.”
In reality, it was my sister who liked it.
The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, beckoning him to sit beside her for the first time.
This Shuhui made Jiang Xun uncomfortable and dislike, after glancing sideways at Jiang Yishi, he still walked over to be asked by the old lady pulling his hand.
The old lady laughed and said, “Monkey, it’s hard for you to go out to study and still think about your grandmother ……” and let the maid take ten taels of silver to him as pocket money.
After the meal, the old lady and uncle Jiang, the third master and Jiang Xun left to talk, until the closing of the second door before letting him leave. In the snow and wind, Jiang Xun looked in the direction of the scorching courtyard and had to walk towards the second door.
The next morning, Jiang Xun went to Scorch House to have breakfast with his sister.
Jiang Yishi joked, “You’ve become the meat and potatoes, I’ve been looking forward to you from yesterday to today.”
Jiang Xun took out a purse from his pocket, which contained a silver pearl hairpin, and laughed, “This was bought at the silver store next door to the Jingwu Hall, and it’s for my sister.”
Jiang Yishi laughed. This younger brother made it seem like he had gone on a long trip and came back with a gift.
She thanked him and stuck it in her hair in the mirror.
While greeting the old lady at Ruyi Hall, the granny in the front yard came to report that Yong Wang Shi Zi Zi’s boy had handed in a sticker, inviting the second master to go to the Deluxe Fortune Grand Restaurant for a gathering.
