Chapter 95 The words of the eldest Jiang family(1/2)

After hearing what his mother said, Jiang Muzheng was stunned.

Yesterday, my father told her to go to Shaoxing Mansion with her mother. My aunt happily packed her clothes for her overnight, hoping that her mother would help her choose a good husband, so how could she say such things? However, Jiang Muzheng still stood up gently and followed her mother's words and said, "Grandmother, it's Zheng'er who wants to stay in the mansion and asks Qinyi for her third sister."

Chen praised his concubine's daughter kindly, "Of the five sisters, except Yan'er, they played the piano best. When she became Mrs. Yazheng's disciple, it would be amazing."

Is it so easy to be a disciple of Mrs. Yazheng? Yan curled his lips and said to his sister-in-law that she didn't want to take Zheng'er there, so she said, "What are you doing with these stupid things? Do you think others are fools?"

"Sixth Sister." Jiang Mujin called Jiang Liu in a low voice, touched her shoulder, and made faces at her.

Jiang Liu smiled and bared his little girl at the fifth sister. Yes, the third sister learned the best, followed by the second sister, and the eldest sister, and she and the fifth sister can only be considered a big deal.

In fact, in her heart, Jiang Liu felt that she was better than the fifth sister. She remembered the music theory and tricks with her eyes and head, but her hands were broken. The fifth sister really didn't remember anything.

Mrs. Jiang didn't look at her eldest daughter-in-law and just said, "That's good. Zheng'er and Yan'er practice the piano together, and Rong'er also takes the piano on the road, so you can't waste it."

"Yes." The three sisters responded in unison.

After leaving the North Courtyard, Jiang Liu was pulled by his fifth sister and cousin Liao to float kites. Jiang Murong asked the second sister and the third sister to help her pick out the clothes she brought with her travels. The younger sisters divided into two groups to go their separate ways.

"Daughters are treasures when they are not married..." Jiang Pinglan looked at her nieces leaving, her eyes full of envy. After getting married, women need to serve their parents-in-law, husband, children, and housework... Not to mention the Kitchen, they don't even have the time to rest.

My parents regard you as a treasure and gave you so much dowry. When something happened at home, you didn't even show your face. When I heard that my elder brother had regained his position, you came back! Yan curled his lips and didn't answer Jiang Pinglan's words. He grabbed his sister-in-law's arm and asked warmly, "Sister-in-law, I remember that you have a nephew in your parents' family one year older than Rong'er. Have you gotten engaged?"

Looking at the sister-in-law and brother-in-law who were leaving, Jiang Pinglan lowered her eyes and followed quickly.

After accompanying my sister-in-law to clean up the gift for the whole morning, Jiang Pinglan finally waited until her elder brother was carried back. She hurried forward and called him "Brother" carefully and affectionately.

Jiang Song responded, took the tea handed over by Chen and drank it all. After scolding his second brother for more than an hour, Jiang Song's throat was about to smoke, and told his wife, "At noon, add a dish of stewed crispy fish with vinegar, call Yuan Dong and Chunling over for dinner."

Braised crispy fish with vinegar is her favorite dish when she was at home. Jiang Pinglan's eyes were hot and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, brother. Yuan Dong followed Brother Ling out and said she would not come back for lunch to eat."

Chen smiled and said, "Yan'er is still in her elder sister's room, why not leave? Why would you call all the girls over and make a lot of fun together?"

Jiang Song nodded and said to his sister after his wife went out, "Sit down."

Jiang Pinglan sat next to her elder brother and couldn't help but shed tears, "Brother..."

"Don't cry, it's all over." Jiang Song asked his sister, "How did my brother-in-law treat you in the past two years?"

"He treats me well." Jiang Pinglan's tears fell even more fiercely.

If the brother-in-law treats her sister sincerely, how could she cry like this? Jiang Song felt distressed, "It's all the big brother who is useless, and you're wronged."

Jiang Pinglan couldn't help crying, "Brother, don't say that. Pinglan is useless. The family has been in trouble in the past two years, and Pinglan hasn't helped anything."

My sister is weak-hearted and her parents are afraid that she will be bullied when she gets married into a wealthy family, so she chose Liao Qingmo, a poor Jinshi, as her son-in-law. Liao Qingmo was able to be the magistrate and his father and he were responsible for the care. Who would have thought that after an accident in the mansion, he was afraid of being implicated and wanted to let his sister break off from her family.

Jiang Song never blamed his sister, "You will be the daughter-in-law of the Liao family when you marry. Just live your life with peace of mind and take good care of the children. After I get well, I will go to the yamen to do business. My second brother will be able to enter the officialdom in a few years, and it will be fine then."

Jiang Pinglan knew how his second brother read, and whispered, "Don't force the second brother too tightly, just take his body carefully."

Jiang Song and Jiang Pinglan were most impressed by how weak the second brother was when he was young. When the second brother was sick, they went to the grandmother's courtyard to watch him, and they didn't dare to sleep, for fear that the second brother would be gone after falling asleep. At that time, as long as the second brother was willing to eat, they would follow him in everything, which made the second brother spoiled him to what he is now.

Jiang Song sighed, "I have a sense of my own responsibility for this matter. After the Lantern Festival, I will let my second brother take you back." The second brother is now in the eyes of the emperor and is the most important one in the family. It is best to let him hit his brother-in-law.

"My second brother said so yesterday. Brother, I'm really useless..." Jiang Pinglan asked, wiping her tears.

Chen brought the girls in, and the yard was filled with laughter. Jiang Song looked at his niece who was smiling happily in the crowd and said to his sister, "For the sake of two children, you should have your own ideas. Mo Yi listened to his brother-in-law in everything."

Jiang Pinglan nodded, wiped away tears and greeted her out with a smile, but saw one missing, so she asked her sister-in-law, "Where is Liu'er?"

Chen snorted, "I was taken away by Ling'er."

Jiang Ling held the fat six girls and ran as fast as a rabbit, and she couldn't wait to stop shouting!

Jiang Pinglan couldn't get close to this nephew who suddenly appeared, and always felt that he was not like his second brother.

Liao Yuandong was not convinced, "I can hold my sister six and run faster than him!"

Chen teased his nephew, "If you can hold it, take Liu Yatou back to your house, okay?"

"Okay!" Liao Yuandong turned to ask his mother, "Mom, let's take the sixth sister home?"

This silly child, Jiang Pinglan smiled and said, "You go and ask your second uncle. If he nods, we will pick up your sixth sister to play for a few days."

"Aunt, I'll go too!" Jiang Mujin shouted.

"Okay." Jiang Pinglan responded.

Jiang Muyan kept this in mind and planned to tell her sister after she went back, asking her to tell her father not to agree.

After the meal was over, Chen was serving her husband to bed and rest, and she complained, "Ling'er is so ignorant, so is Liu'er. The master asked her to come over and have a meal, she refused to come."

"Why didn't Ling'er let Liu'er come over? Madam doesn't know?" Jiang Song leaned on the bed and patted the empty seat beside him.

"I don't know." Chen sat down angrily.

"Madam is angry with Liu'er because of the Sanlang business. Ling'er is afraid that you will bully Liu'er, so she refuses to let her come over." Jiang Song said straight away.

How did they see that they were unhappy? Chen subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face.

Jiang Song sighed, "Children are naturally keen. They know in their hearts which one is good to her and which one is bad to her."

Chen didn't hide it anymore, "Yes, I'm annoying her! It's clear that Liu'er bullied Sanlang first, why is the only one who was punished?"

What kind of lady is? Jiang Song knows it. He doesn't tell the big reason to his wife, but only asks, "Madam, if the one who is pushed into the water by Sanlang is the girl from the Wanghou family, what do you think they will deal with Sanlang?"

Chen was puzzled, "Sanlang pushed them into the water for no reason? Besides, the girls in the Prince's and Marquis' Mansion are all very delicate, so how can people like us stand against?"

Jiang Song then asked, "The daughters of the Wanghou family are all spoiled. How good can they have a good temper? What if they throw a toad at Saburo and Saburo is angry and pushes them into the water?"

"Sanlang doesn't know..." Chen whispered. It was a blessing for Sanlang to be thrown into a toad by the girl from the Wanghou family.

"Sanlang will die." Jiang Song suddenly became serious, "If we don't discipline Saburo well, with his temperament, we will definitely cause great trouble in the future. At the least, we will kill ourselves, and at the worst, we will destroy the family!"

Chen was dissatisfied and bit his cheeks and didn't say anything. In her opinion, although Saburo was naughty, he was not bad by nature. He was a good child who knew how to feel sorry for others. Besides, which boy was not naughty when he was a child? Unless he was a fool!

"The second brother is flexible. As long as he studies hard for a few years, he can become an official in the court. After he is respected by the emperor, he will be kings, princes, generals and ministers. By then, Saburo has no chance to get along with their children, and there is only one possibility."

When the husband said something critical, Chen couldn't help asking, "What's the possibility?"

"The second brother is annoyed us and is unfamiliar with us. He only takes him and his third brother's children out, not ours." Jiang Song said heavily.

That would never work! Chen stood up in a hurry, "You are his elder brother, and Dalang Sanlang is his nephew!"

"Madam is Yan'er, Liu'er and Ling'er's real aunt, how did you treat them?" Jiang Song asked seriously, "If Ling'er pushed Rong'er into the water, would you plead for Ling'er like your second brother? Liu'er is the flesh of your second brother's heart. How did you treat her? The second brother is watching."

Chen looked away guiltily and did not dare to look at her husband.

"Put your heart in mind, why do you and my children be kind to you and my children?" Jiang Song said in a deep voice.

It seems that my second brother will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official! Chen didn't dare to say it, but his heart was filled with a belly.

Jiang Song knew what the wife was thinking at a glance, and continued to fool him, "The second brother has already entered the eyes of the emperor. On the second day of the lunar month, the emperor mentioned the matter of spring hunting in the imperial garden and asked the queen if she was good at riding and shooting. The emperor even wanted to take her second brother to go there. The lady thought what the future of the second brother would be like?"

When Chen heard this, his face changed, "Master, don't let your second brother go. If he shoots in the horse and scares the sage, our whole family will have to take their lives!"

...

Jiang Song reminded his wife, "The Queen Mother is in funeral."

Yes, yes! The Empress Dowager died and the Lord wanted to keep a guard, so how could he go out of the palace to play? Chen patted his chest and said fearfully, "I was so scared when I was carried back from hunting with my second brother."

When talking about the embarrassing incident last time, Jiang Song wanted to beat up his second brother again.

"Even if the spring hunting cannot be gone, what if the priest still calls the second brother when he goes to the autumn hunting? Master, you can delay the study, so why not let the second brother practice archery first?" Chen became more and more afraid of it. "The people who can follow Long Live are people we can't afford to offend. If the second brother shoots, we can't afford to be guilty!"

Jiang Song followed his wife's words, "My wife is right. When my second brother practices riding and shooting well, he will definitely be happy when he wins the autumn hunting."

"The emperor was happy. He said he would be appointed as the general in front of the palace. With his second brother's pleasing nature, he would be promoted step by step but he would not run away!" Chen's happier thought about it.

Jiang Song poured cold water on her, "The second brother was promoted step by step, and the children of the third brother also made their mark. Our children..."

Chen interrupted her husband, "Don't worry, for the sake of the children's future, I will treat Ling'er, Yan'er and Liu'er as if they were born!"

Jiang Song nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for the hard work for the children."

The more Chen thought about it, the more beautiful he became. After walking around the house for two times, he ran to the bed, "Master, why don't we get into a marriage between Dalang and Rong'er when our second brother is developed? I will not mention Rong'er's marriage this time when I go to Shaoxing!"

Jiang Song hurriedly said, "If you should, look at each other, so as not to miss a good marriage. When the second brother becomes prosperous, we don't need to rely on the marriage of our children to make a future. Why not let the children live a life according to the face of their in-laws?"

Yes! My husband is still thoughtful!

Chen nodded repeatedly, "Master, go to bed, please see if Sanlang is full, then go to the warehouse to pick up good cloth and cut spring shirts for Yan'er and Liu'er."

When the wife was excitedly swept away, Jiang Song sighed deeply. He could only coax the wife just now. Long live to mention her second brother casually, so how could she really promote him to an official? If so, the censors' saliva could drown her second brother.

If you have to make a blacksmith, you must be strong. If your second brother doesn’t study well, everything is a castle in the air! Jiang Song clenched his fists and said in his heart that he must not be merciful in the afternoon. If your second brother doesn’t study hard, he will hit him hard!

In the main room of the West Courtyard, Mr. Jiang was lying on the bed and humming. Aunt Xue knelt next to him and pressed his tired arm for writing.

Crossing the yard, the little sister was lying on the bed and biting her ears.

"Mom won't let us get too close to the Liao family. My sister remembers to tell my father that you don't want to go to her house to play."

Jiang Liu asked curiously, "Why can't you go too close to cousin brother?"

Jiang Muyan got closer, "After I told my sister, my sister couldn't tell others, and the wet nurse couldn't do it either."

"good."

"My mother said that the Liao family has a weak foundation and her aunt has no opinion. She will suffer a lot when she gets married to the Liao family."

Seeing that his sister was stupid and didn't understand, Jiang Muyan raised her face and scared her, "Does her sister want to marry and suffer in the Liao family?"
