Chapter 93 Digging a hole
Jiang Yixi has never taken Jiang Yiyan seriously. She is the real fool. She inherited Mrs. Jiang's short-sightedness, greed for money, and boldness, and magnified them infinitely.
He also told Huahua to listen to the conversation between the eldest lady and Jiang Jin, and pay special attention to the land purchase matter.
At noon on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yixi was doing embroidery work in the house, when Huahua, who was lying on the bedside of the kang, suddenly meowed.
Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Jin were discussing buying land for their master.
She said that she was interested in the 600 acres of land in Tong County. Mrs. Jiang disagreed and said that the land there was expensive, so it would be better to buy it in Tangzhou. Tangzhou is not too far from the capital, and the land price is cheaper, so buy more.
, it would be nice to talk about it. She also asked Jiang Jin not to care about this matter, and she would send a manager there after the year.
Jiang Jin knew that my mother was very courageous, and was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Yixi's dowry. He advised, "Mom, just do the trivial things. At most, you will be scolded by your grandmother and father. But there are some things you must not do.
, if someone finds out, you may go to jail..."
When her son poked at the central issue, Mrs. Jiang glared at Jiang Jin and cursed, "Who do you think I am? I live to be so old, you don't have to tell me what I should and shouldn't do..."
By the way, I gossiped a little more. Mrs. Meng and the elders of the Meng family hated Jiang Yixi very much, but they had to agree because of Meng Cimo’s begging. Now that Meng Cimo is getting blinder, it’s hard to go to the west of Shu.
If you can't see well, you will definitely become completely blind...
At the end, Mrs. Jiang still smiled and said, "I think that blind man should not be able to inherit the title. The person who inherits the title will definitely be Mr. Meng. When old Duke Meng dies, the mansion will belong to Mrs. Meng and Mr. Meng.
.A blind man, an unpopular blind man’s daughter-in-law, is a black eye in the house, let alone outside. Humph, the old lady, your father, and the third wife are all waiting for Xi Ya to support her younger siblings in the future, dreaming
Well. I gave her so much dowry, and it originally belonged to you and your brother."
Jiang Jin asked, "Mom, did Mrs. Meng tell you these words?"
"Of course not, I guessed it from the words of Mrs. Meng and those housekeepers..."
Jiang Yixi secretly snorted, Mrs. Meng started to dig a hole for herself again. She allowed Mrs. Jiang to have this illusion just to make life difficult for her in her parents' family.
Moreover, if Mrs. Jiang really wants to buy land in Tangzhou, I wonder if it will be the same as in her previous life...
Now it sounds like Jiang Jin was indeed not involved. Although Jiang Jin had no ability, he was more timid than Uncle Jiang and did not dare to do anything too big or bad.
As soon as Huahua closed her mouth, Shui Qing walked in.
She brought half a bowl of water to Huahua and said with a smile, "You can scream so loud that you can hear it from outside the yard. If your throat is dry, drink some water."
Huahua did dry her mouth and lowered her head to drink water.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, all academies had a long holiday, and Jiang Xun also returned to Jiangfu. He would not start studying until the 21st day of the first lunar month next year.
The flavor of the New Year is getting stronger.
The Jiang Mansion prepared generous New Year's gifts and sent them to Chengguo's Mansion. Chengguo's Mansion also prepared New Year's gifts. The New Year's gifts were casual, which disappointed the old lady and Uncle Jiang, and made Jiang Yiyan laugh.
Jiang Yixi stayed for two days.
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yixi presented the old lady with a winter coat and a pair of thousand-leaf-sole shoes, and also gave Uncle Jiang and the third master each a pair of thousand-leaf shoes. Of course, these things were mainly made by the girls.
, she only received a few symbolic stitches.
She didn't want to do it for Mr. Jiang at all, but she had to be filial to the third master.
This is also the first time since Jiang Chen's death that the second wife paid filial piety to her elders during the Chinese New Year. In her previous life, she always felt that her family had taken advantage of her father, and she was so angry that she didn't even do anything to save face.
Jiang Yixi still hopes that Jiang Xun will get as much care from her elders as possible after she gets married, so that she won't be too lonely. Even if it is superficial, for Jiang Xun, who is still a child, some care is better than nothing.
The third lady gave each of Jiang Yixi's siblings new clothes yesterday.
This was also the first time Jiang Chen received new clothes from his elders after his death. Not only was Jiang Xun happy, but Jiang Yixi's heart felt much warmer as if a ray of sunshine had shone into it.
After the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, the men went to the outer courtyard to watch the New Year's Eve, while the women went back to their respective courtyards to rest.
On the way, Jiang Yirou glanced at Jiang Yishan, who was trotting behind Jiang Yiyan, and whispered to Jiang Yixi, "If Jiang Yiyan hadn't been so annoying, we four sisters could learn from other people's drumming and passing flowers, write poems and drink wine, how interesting it would be.
.It would be great if the two younger brothers could stay in the inner courtyard. It would not be fun to rest so early on New Year’s Eve.”
Jiang Yixi agreed. There was a fly buzzing, which disturbed the good sisterly relationship. He squeezed her little hand and said, "Go play with the flowers in my yard."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, Mr. Jiang was dressed in court clothes, and Mrs. Jiang and her mother-in-law wore phoenix crowns and harems and took a car to the palace.
The imperial court held a grand meeting every year. Uncle Jiang was able to take a look at the emperor from a distance. This was his first proud day.
Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was able to kowtow to the emperor and pay New Year greetings to the emperor, which was Uncle Jiang's second proudest day.
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang can also kowtow to the Queen Mother today outside Cining Palace to pay New Year greetings. It is their most proud day.
The third master and Jiang Wen received New Year greetings in the outer courtyard. Jiang Jin, Jiang Xun and Jiang Fei went to the homes of relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings. Jiang Xun would go to the Chengguo Palace on behalf of Jiang Mansion.
Today, the second master of Meng Mansion, Meng Ciyue, came to Jiang Mansion to pay New Year greetings, which made the third master very happy.
Jiang Xun came back at the end of noon, smiled and took out a red envelope and gave it to Jiang Yixi. He said that he had kowtowed to Grandfather Meng for the New Year, and kowtowed to Grandfather Meng for the New Year on behalf of his sister. Grandfather Meng gave him two red envelopes.
Jiang Yixi took it with a smile and found eight golden melon seeds in the red envelope.
Asked, "Grandpa Meng didn't enter the palace today?"
Jiang Xun said, "Grandpa Meng's old cold leg hurts so much that he can't walk."
Jiang Yixi felt very distressed and thought about making some snacks with more ingredients, and sent them to Manager Wang in Mengjiazhuang, who would then give them to Mr. Meng.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the third wife followed the third wife back to her parents' home, and Jiang Jin and his wife also returned to Grandma Jiang's parents' home. Grandma Jiang Yihui, the eldest aunt of the Jiang family, was going back to her parents' home, and Mrs. Jiang and his wife were waiting for them at home.
Jiang Yihui is the only kind-hearted person among Mrs. Jiang's four children. Before she got married, she was very kind to Jiang Yixi's siblings. In her previous life, Jiang Yixi even visited the nunnery after she became a monk. However, she was not lucky enough to have a child, and her husband's family and the man were unhappy. Even if she gave birth to a man,
Several concubines and wives were raised, and one concubine gave birth to a son, but she was still not welcomed by her husband's family.
Jiang Xun came to Zhuoyuan first and talked to Jiang Yixi until noon, before the two siblings went to Ruyi Hall for dinner.
Both Jiang Yihui and Mrs. Jiang's eyes were red, and they cried at the sight of them. Uncle Jiang and the old lady both had sullen faces, looking unhappy. If you like Chunmanjinghua, please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net)
