Chapter 840 Six Uncles

Just after breakfast the next day, Qingxing returned to Jiang Mansion from Li's mansion in a carriage and reported the good news to Jiang Murong: "Qingmei has been sent by the young master to the village outside Taikang City."

Jiang Murong was stunned, Chen smiled and said, "What's going on? You'll tell me all the time."

After Qingxing finished speaking, Chen praised her Dajia and gave her two taels of silver. She asked her to take her granddaughter to the garden to play, and then said to her daughter happily, "Zhengqiu's heart is still on your side."

Hearing that her husband ate wontons filled with mushrooms and leeks last night, Jiang Murong threw herself into her mother's arms and cried, "Returning back to three years ago, my daughter must stay at home. No matter how she beats and scolds her, her daughter should not marry her."

"Silly girl..." Chen patted her back, "Men are married when they are old and women are married when they are old. Women are survived by this little bit. What matters now is the son. As long as you have a son, you can gain a foothold in the Li family..."

Seeing the young master and the girls playing in the yard, Qingxing was also filled with emotion. Shuqiu came over and handed her a handful of pumpkin seeds, "Sister Qingxing, you are back, I miss you to death!"

Qing Xing asked while knocking melon seeds, "Is the Sixth Girl better?"

"The girl can walk down the ground, and she will go out after raising her for a few more days." Shu Qiu touched Qingxing's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "How is the Li family?"

Qingxing didn't mention Qingmei, but started teaching Shu Qiulai, "The little sisters in our mansion, I envy you the most. The Sixth Girl treats you like sisters, and the Second Master also treats you as half of your daughter. When life in the mansion is the most difficult time, the Sixth Girl has a piece of candy, and the Second Master will leave half of it for you. Don't be stupid enough to eat it. In two years, you will touch your favorite son-in-law in our mansion. In Jiang Mansion, you will never be wronged in your life."

Shuqiu got closer again, "Sister Qingxing, is someone in the Li family bullying you?"

Who is a slave or a servant, who is not bullied? Qing Xing glanced at Shuqiu and snorted, "I am so idle. You can follow your mother and the sixth girl, so how can you worry about yourself?"

"I know my good sister loves me, and my sister will never forget how kind she is to me." Shuqiu took out a few pieces of candy from her sleeve bag and handed it over, "This is what my girl appreciates. Try it quickly. You can't buy such delicious candy in the world."

"What made in Young Master Ling's shop?" Qing Xing peeled one and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth. It was indeed a good taste I had never tasted before. Qing Xing lowered his voice and asked, "Young Master Ling is so concerned about Miss Six. In a few years, we should change our words and call Sister Six, right?"

Shuqiu stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth and lowered his voice, "Sister, please spare me. If I dare to chew on the girl's back, my mother will throw me back to the farm to feed the pigs for the rest of her life."

Qing Xing glared at her, leaned against the railing and asked while eating melon seeds, "Young man still runs around in the morning?"

Shuqiu smiled and said, "Not only the young men, but also the old man and the third man ran away."

"Where is the second master?"

"The second master can't get up in the morning."

Qingxing couldn't help but laughed.

Seeing that Qingxing was in such a good mood, Shuqiu said, "Good sister, where did Qingmei be sent?"

Qing Xing intends to sell her personal favors and said, "She is a witch all day long. My son-in-law sent her a car this morning to take her to the Li family's farm outside Taikang City."

"It really deserves it!" Shu Qiu spat, "The big girl treats her well, she is so shameless!"

Qing Xing gave her a blank look, "Okay, go quickly, what did Miss Six reward? Don't forget to share with me!"

"Good sister, your New Year gift has been prepared for you, so I'll get it here." Shuqiu said, and returned to the West Cangyuan, delivered the first-hand news to the girls. After receiving the reward, he returned to the garden happily to eat melon seeds.

Jiang Muyan continued to embroider Shuangguiyan on the veil, "It's time for my elder brother-in-law to pick up my elder sister to go home tonight."

Jiang Liu, who helped her sister divide the embroidery thread, said, "Sister, can this child Qingmei be born?"

Jiang Muyan nodded, "My elder brother-in-law sent Qingmei to the Li family's farm just to keep the child in her belly, but Qingmei must not be kept."

Jiang Murong did not give birth to a legitimate son, and Li Zhengqiu's concubine Yuzi Tang could not stop. Li Zhengqiu failed to pass the imperial examination last year. After returning to Beijing, he entrusted his father-in-law to study under the great scholar. In this case, Qingmei dared to secretly stop Yuzi Tang to conceive, which was a way out.

Jiang Liu looked up at her sister's delicate and dignified side face and asked in a low voice, "Sister, can the eldest sister and brother-in-law still make up as before?"

Jiang Muyan held the embroidery needle and didn't stop, "But just be a concubine, she would be driven out. When the eldest sister gave birth to a legitimate son for the Li family, she would be safe."

Is that true? Jiang Liu looked down at the colorful embroidery thread in his hand and was ecstatic. Although the women of Dazhou also looked forward to a pair of people for a lifetime, they knew in their hearts that sooner or later their husbands would have concubines. When they were at home, they were taught how to take care of their husbands and children after getting married, and how to discipline their husbands' concubines. Perhaps it is because their husbands cannot bring them a sense of security that they attach great importance to their legitimate sons and dowry.

The husband's favor for her would be separated by the concubine, but the son was hers and the dowry was hers, and no one could take it away from her.

Jiang Liu can't control others, but she will never let herself and her sister fall into such a situation!

"Three sisters, sixth sisters--"

Jiang Mujin blew into Jiang Liu's bed like a gust of wind, "Second sister is back!"

"My aunt was not feeling well. Yesterday I thought that my second sister should come back to serve her." Jiang Muyan put down the embroidery bandage and said happily, "Sister is resting here, we will come when we go."

"Okay." After the two sisters went out, Jiang Liu picked up the half-embellished handkerchief of his sister, sat on the bed and embroidered it. Then he heard Qin Bai say in the curtain, "Girl, Sister Amber is here."

"Come in." Jiang Liu put down the embroidered bandage and called out.

Amber, the maid from Ren's house, came in and glanced at the girl's vividly embroidered Shuangguiyan, with a flash of surprise on her face. She gave the box in her hand, "The young master asked me to send candy to the girl."

Jiang Liu nodded, "What is my brother busy with?"

Amber replied, "The young master went to Lingbao Temple and asked the servants to come and deliver candy to the girl, then went to Dicuitang to pass the message, saying that he was waiting for the eldest master at the west entrance of Yanlai Lane at the right time."

Lizhengfang is in the southwest corner of the East City, and Lingbao Temple is in the North City. My brother went to Lizhengfang from Lingbao Temple and met with his elder brother at the entrance of Shifeng Lane. How could he make an appointment at Yanlai Lane where the Zhang family is? Jiang Liu felt something was wrong and asked again, "My brother went out by himself?"

Amber replied, "No, Uncle Qiu went with the young master."

My brother took Uncle Qiu to Lingbao Temple to Lingbao Temple. There was definitely something to do. What was it? Jiang Liu touched her belly. She was "recovering from the wound" in the mansion this day and could not go to the front yard to discuss matters with Uncle Qiu. She was so blind!

After Amber left, Jiang Liu ordered, "Qinbai, go to Ren Mansion and call Yanping over."
