"I heard that you were arguing with people in the street on the way to school today?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e, who were trying their best to conceal the gloating in their eyes. Sure enough, Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e really spared no effort to complain about splashing dirty water on her.
Jiang Li smiled and said: "I don't know where the old lady heard it from, and it is very different from the truth."
Mrs. Jiang said: "Oh, what a fact is that, let's talk about it."
Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e wanted to talk but didn't dare. Mrs. Jiang was a strict and strict woman, and they were not allowed to intervene when others were talking.
Jiang Li smiled: "I'm afraid that what I said may be unfair. Let my maid tell me, Bai Xue." Jiang Li asked Bai Xue to come in.
After Bai Xue came in, he first bowed to Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Li said, "What happened after school today, please tell the old lady again now."
Bai Xue received Jiang Li's order and immediately said it all from the beginning to the end. Bai Xue was honest, honest and straightforward, and she never exaggerated anything. From the perspective of a spectator, she restored the matter completely, without biasing anyone.
After listening, Mrs. Jiang thoughtfully asked Jiang Li again: "In this way, you are speaking righteously, not arguing indiscriminately."
"Don't dare to speak righteously, just tell the truth." Jiang Li still smiled.
At this time, Jiang Youyao finally couldn't help it, and said: "Grandma, the son of the second sister's gang is not a stranger, but a member of the Xiangyang Ye family."
In the Ye Family of Xiangyang, Mrs. Jiang's complexion suddenly became serious.
You know, since Ye Zhenzhen's death, the Jiang family and the Ye family's in-laws have had fewer contacts, but Jiang Yuanbai married Ji Shuran, and after beating the Ji family's in-laws, he almost broke off contact with the Ye family. Originally, the Ye family and the Jiang family still had an inextricable connection, that is Jiang Li, but Jiang Li swore by herself many years ago, and he did not want to associate with the merchants. The Ye family was sad and never had contact with the Jiang family again. .
Ji Shuran said, "You Yao, don't talk nonsense, you haven't seen the Ye family, how do you know that they are from the Ye family in Xiangyang?"
"I heard it with my own ears, and there are four younger sisters and five younger sisters," Jiang Youyao hurriedly defended. "The young master is called Ye Shijie, and Liu Zimin said he belongs to the Ye family in Xiangyang."
"Ye Shijie..." Mrs. Jiang pondered for a while before looking at Jiang Li: "He should be the son of Ye Family's house, your eldest cousin."
Only then did Jiang Li know that Ye Shijie and himself are cousins.
"Li'er, what's the matter?" Ji Shuran said: "You didn't return to Beijing in just over a month, so why did you meet your cousin Ye family?"
This is a shame!
Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she looked straight at Jiang Li, her eyes looked like two knives were about to see Jiang Li through.
Jiang Li had only returned to Beijing for more than a month, and he was not even familiar with Yanjing City, but today he happened to help his cousin. There is no such a coincidence in the world. The Ye family has not entered Beijing for many years since they cut off contact with the Jiang family. It is hard to believe that this is just a coincidence. Could it be that Jiang Li and Ye Shijie have been in contact for a long time, even for a long time
This is absolutely taboo in the eyes of Mrs. Jiang!
Jiang Li glanced at Ji Shuran with a smile. Ji Shuran didn't seem to realize that what he said could push Jiang Li into an impossible situation, more like a joke.
Jiang Li said: "I don't know him, nor do I know that he is my eldest cousin. If it weren't for the old lady to tell me, I don't know his relationship with me. If it's not him today, it's anyone else, if I am Seeing such scenes, I have to step forward and stop them." Jiang Li smiled and pointed out: "In this world, it is good for Mingzhe to protect himself, but sometimes he needs to act bravely. Especially in our kind of Qingliu family, even more. It is necessary to maintain the character of the whole article."
Mrs. Jiang was startled.
Mrs. Jiang’s husband, that is, Jiang Yuanbai’s father, Mrs. Jiang, was a third-ranked master of Guanwen Temple throughout his life. He was at the age of thirty, and he was still the same when he died. Although the third-grade civil servants are also very good, there must be a reason for not being promoted in decades.
The reason is that Mrs. Jiang is too lonely and straightforwardly admonishes that he has done a lot of such things. Although the Emperor Xian knew that Mr. Jiang was a good official, it was hard to like him. Mr. Jiang also stopped his official career here because of his temperament.
Regarding her husband's temperament, Mrs. Jiang complained on the surface, but she was proud of him in her heart. However, the three sons of the Jiang family, the eldest son Jiang Yuanbai keeps the golden mean, the second son Jiang Yuanping is a smiling tiger, and the third son Jiang Yuanxing, as a bastard, is even more cowardly and inconsistent, and none of them inherits the old man’s vigor, so Mrs. Jiang is not to be said. Not lost.
So even if Jiang Yuanbai achieved the top of the civil servants by virtue of "the golden mean", Mrs. Jiang was not completely satisfied with him. In the things of the world, there are gains and losses, and if you get a high-ranking official, you have to lose some things, such as spine and arrogance.
Jiang Li had already discovered that Mrs. Jiang was an arrogant person, and there was some uprightness in her bones, which could be seen from the decoration of Wanfeng Hall. Therefore, she deliberately said these grand-sounding and awe-inspiring words in order to resonate with Mrs. Jiang.
Let Mrs. Jiang recall the dead Mrs. Jiang, and see Mrs. Jiang's shadow from Jiang Li's body.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang's gaze at Jiang Li gradually softened.
Ji Shuran was taken aback, and she didn't know how Jiang Li's attitude had eased in just a few words. Although she is a good individual, Xin Si and Jiang Yuanbai are the same way, that is, she is absolutely self-interested. She couldn't understand Mrs. Jiang's "strength", but Jiang Li could.
Jiang Li said again: "I helped people out of my mind at the time and didn't consider the consequences. But really, as the third sister said, Ye Shijie is the eldest cousin and belongs to the Ye family in Xiangyang, so this behavior of mine was even more correct. Even though our biological mother passed away, the Ye family and our family were once in-laws, and their relatives were in deep trouble. If I was gone and I was seen in the eyes, we would only say that our Jiang family was indifferent in the future. The heart is hard as iron. My father is an official in the court, and every word and deed are seen in the eyes. What if someone uses this to impeach his father?"
"We only need to do our own thing well, so that people can't make mistakes, and we will naturally be in peace. Moreover, this is not a big deal at all. Liu Gongzi said it himself, but it was a misunderstanding and moved his lips. The tongue can resolve a misunderstanding. Isn’t it a beautiful thing? You don’t need gold or silver. Just one sentence can help others. If I am stingy with this sentence, then I really don’t deserve to be a human being. Up."
The last sentence satirized Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e together.
