Chapter 458 Preparation
The following breakfast was spent in silence. Because there was something important in the mansion tomorrow, the Jiang family claimed leave to the yamen today, and the children did not have to go to the academy. Even Jiang Dalang returned from the Imperial College. After the meal, everyone was busy to welcome the prince and other guests. After Jiang Song summoned the servants in the yard to teach the soldiers and dispatched the mail. After he walked around the inner and outer courtyards, he finally came to the study room where the children studied. He gently pushed open the door and entered the room. Seeing that his second brother was sleeping soundly with the quilt in his arms, he stepped out and whispered, "Guard the courtyard gate and let him sleep well."
"Yes." Jiang Houer immediately responded. The second master has been exhausted these days.
Mr. Jiang was sleeping soundly in the mansion, while the relatives of the Meng family were so anxious that they couldn't sleep or eat. Wang Wenqiao had divorced his wife, and it exploded on their heads like an arrow: Meng Huizhou and An Yunchang were arrested. Although the people of the two mansions had not been jailed yet, they were enclosed in the mansion and were not allowed to enter and exit. This was obviously a big deal. Wang Wenqiao had divorced his wife and protected himself, what should they do?
When the disaster is coming, self-protection is the most important thing! When the families racked their brains to think about how to separate the relationship with Meng and An, they were also gloating and planning to make benefits from it. Ning Zhen, who had stolen thousands of taels of silver from the Meng family a few days ago, happily discussed with his mother, "The house in the Meng family's Shifeng Lane must not be kept. Let's find a way to buy his house and move it to be neighbors with the Jiang family."
Mrs. Ning thought this idea was great, "Buy the Meng family's house and marry your second brother to a girl from the Meng family. We will be at ease in the future. Mom regrets it. If you had known that the Jiang family had today, you should have had a few more trips to tell the marriage between your second brother and Jiang Murong. If you want to marry again, you can only aggrieved your second brother to marry the concubine's daughter of the Jiang family's eldest wife."
Although Jiang Muzheng is a concubine daughter, she looks good and can be on the table. Besides, it’s easier to get married to a concubine daughter. Mrs. Ning’s eyes were circling, “It’s a pity that we don’t have an invitation from the Jiang family, otherwise we will be able to take your second brother over to find out tomorrow.”
Ning Zhen's eyes turned and whispered to his mother, "I heard that Jiang Feng and Liu Cheng had a big fight by the Qingping River. Now it seems that the fourth sister has entered the Yijiang Marquis' Mansion and said it's a blessing or a disaster. Even if there is no invitation, I will go over and give a generous gift tomorrow so that the Jiang family can understand our feelings."
"Tomorrow, there will be many distinguished guests in the Jiang family, so how can you squeeze in? I see, it is the best time to give it to you today." Mrs. Ning immediately prepared the gift and asked her son to send it to the Jiang family.
When Ning Zhen took a carriage to Shifeng Lane, he found that the carriage that wanted to go to the Jiang family to give gifts had been lined up outside the alley. Not to mention the Jiang family's mansion, he couldn't even get into the Jiang family's alley!
Even if you enter the carriage in Shifeng Lane, you can't get into the Jiang Mansion. Because the Jiang Mansion is wearing a new dress and a diligent butler, who is old and deaf. If you tell him three, he thinks you talk about mountains; if you tell him mountains, he hears them again, which makes the managers of the various governments in the capital who come to give gifts anxiously but cannot lose their temper.
The noise outside could not be heard from the front yard study room. Jiang Houer, who was guarding the gate for Mr. Jiang Er, sat in front of the door, slowly opened his mouth and yawned a big yawn. Hu Yantu tiptoed over and whispered, "The girl from the Wang family in Shengpingfang is here, and she wants to come to the mansion to meet the third girl. What do you think you should do?"
The Wang family is causing trouble now because they don’t understand the rules. But the person has arrived at the gate of the mansion, and it won’t work if he doesn’t go in and reply. If this matter is put in front of the second wife, it will make it difficult for her to deal with it. Jiang Houer whispered, “The second wife and the third girl are busy. Tell the sixth girl about this matter and ask the sixth girl to make an idea.”
When Jiang Liu, who was busy cleaning the room in the west yard to prepare for tomorrow's guests, heard this and said to the wet nurse, "This is a great day, my cousins come in and cry, it's not good to watch. The wet nurse will go there in person and ask them to do it. I said that after these two days, my sister and I will go to them to apologize again."
The wet nurse came back shortly after a while and whispered, "I really guessed that the girl. The two cousins of the Wang family cried so hard that they were hoarse, saying that they came out without hiding it from her father. But according to my servants, if the second uncle of the Wang family really stopped him, they wouldn't even be able to get out of the gate. The Wang family wanted the two cousins to come over to find out the words of you and the third girl."
After the people were finished, they were driven out of the mansion, so why should they find a fuss? Jiang Liu shook his head and was about to turn around to work, but he saw her father coming back, with the cloth tiger she placed in his brother's place.
After the little daughter greeted her, Mr. Jiang Ertou stuffed the cloth tiger into her arms, "Where is your mother?"
Jiang Liu hugged his little tiger and said sweetly, "Mother is packing things with her sister in the house."
Mr. Jiang Er pinched the little girl's fat face and walked into the main hall. Seeing that his father was back, Jiang Muyan got up and saluted and stepped back. Mrs. Yazheng stepped forward to serve her husband to wash. Mr. Jiang Er wiped the water droplets on her face and explained on his own initiative, "I saw you sleeping heavily when I came back last night, so I went to Ling'er to make do with her all night. I feel better today? If you still feel uncomfortable, let the doctor come over and take a look."
After seeing the doctor, he also prescribed some decoctions to calm the mind. Although it is not possible to determine whether he is pregnant now, Yazheng also thought that the medicine was three parts poisonous, and it should be less useful if it can be used. She said gently, "I have slept all night and it has been completely cured."
But looking at her face, it didn't look like she was completely good. Mr. Jiang didn't ask much, and went to the North Courtyard to pay his respects to his mother. Mrs. Jiang pretended to be calm and scolded, "You can even save lunch when you get up again. I don't have the place to stand here. Go back to your own yard to have a meal!"
Mr. Jiang returned to the west yard to have lunch, so he ran to the front yard to work hard. There were many good brothers who helped him, including him, as well as his elder brother and third brother. Mr. Jiang was busy until dark until he returned to the yard to take a shower and rest.
After lying down after turning off the lights, Mr. Jiang Er reminded his wife, "There will be many people tomorrow. If you can't take care of yourself, you can just take care of your mother and two children."
"I understand." Ya responded correctly, and she also reminded her husband with confidence, "There will be more things in the front yard tomorrow, so the second master should pay more attention."
Mr. Jiang said happily, "Tomorrow, the prefect will come to take charge of the overall situation. Huang Li and the others will take care of the military generals. Ling'er and I will just accompany the two princes to talk."
Yazheng yawned gently, "It's still the second master who thinks carefully. With the prefect and his wife here, I feel at ease in my body and mind."
Mr. Jiang was immediately interested, and Balabara talked about what arrangements he had made in addition to asking the prefect to take charge of the overall situation. After talking so much, Mr. Jiang finally said, "You can go to the prefect to the prefect to thank Mrs. Zhang the next day."
After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, he could not hear his wife responding. He turned around and found that his wife was asleep. Mr. Jiang gently pulled the quilt and covered her with arms exposed outside. He stared at her thin face for a while before yawning and closing his eyes.
