Queen Jiang had not yet decided how to deal with Princess Lexin, but Princess Lexin came to apologize first.
Jiang Yashuang resigned after hearing this: "My nephew didn't go back all night. I'm afraid the family is thinking about him."
"Go ahead." Empress Jiang felt guilty and nodded, "Bring some freshly steamed rose water to your wife, and tell her the whole story. Don't let this matter ruin your relationship as husband and wife!"
"Don't worry, Fourth Aunt, Yilan is not a stingy person." Jiang Yashuang smiled and pretended not to hear her tactful provocation.
When he left, he happened to see Princess Lexin waiting outside the palace. This princess was beautiful. After all, Qu Baolin had no background. It was impossible for him to become a concubine from a palace maid without good looks. As her daughter, Princess Lexin's appearance is naturally the same.
However, the princess looked haggard at this moment, and her expression was quite worried. When she saw Jiang Yashuang coming out, she quickly said, "Jiang Hanlin, before I..."
"Your Highness!" Jiang Yashuang dodged her salute and said calmly, "How dare I accept your Highness's gift? Your Highness, please don't make me panic!"
"... I was deceived by the palace people earlier and implicated Xian Kunzhong. I hope you will forgive me!" Princess Lexin sighed inwardly. These days, golden branches and jade leaves are just empty words. Any daughter of the Jiang family can live a more wanton life than this princess. Jiang Jiu, in the late Emperor’s time, would she still need to be so low-key
And people might not appreciate it if you keep a low profile - Jiang Yashuang hurriedly said "I don't dare", and without waiting for her to say anything else, she cupped her hands, said she had something important to do and left the palace, and walked away!
"Although his attitude is cold, at least he didn't give me a look... It is rumored that Jiang Jiujiu has always had a good temper. It seems to be true." Princess Lexin glanced at his back and thought about how to calm Empress Jiang after she entered. Angry, "Fortunately, Jiang Yadan was sent out of the palace first, otherwise in order to avoid him, I don't know when I can come over. I'm afraid the queen will be even more angry if she comes late!"
Jiang Yashuang ignored Princess Lexin's plans. After he left the palace, his originally calm face became a little gloomy.
After returning to the other courtyard, as usual, I went to the back hall to pay my respects to Mrs. Tao.
Mrs. Tao couldn't help but comfort him when she saw him. After that, she said: "Your wife is very worried about you, because she is afraid that she will blame Xiaoba when she knows the truth, so I decided not to tell her the news - I just heard that she lent her a gift The chance of mung bean cake is to trick someone in Xiaoba’s room. But I don’t know if it’s caught or not. I’m afraid she’ll be sulking in the room. Go back and coax her, don’t make her sad!”
Jiang Yashuang said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with Bage. The Queen Mother is to blame. How could Yilan anger Bage? She has always respected Bage. She met him on the way back to Bage last time. She also asked her to get lychees."
Mrs. Tao's face stiffened slightly when she heard this, and then she smiled kindly: "Anyway, I'm relieved that you guys are fine!"
Jiang Yashuang chatted with her again and asked little Tao that she was in good spirits recently and that she was recovering quickly before she resigned.
After leaving the old lady's courtyard, he thought for a while before returning to his own courtyard.
Only when they entered the court did they realize that Qiu Yilan was not there.
"Are you going to visit Sister-in-law Sixteen?" Jiang Yashuang asked. He just came back from Mrs. Tao. If Qiu Yilan went to visit little Mrs. Tao, Mrs. Tao had no reason not to mention it. Qiu Yilan's recent whereabouts basically revolve around these two sisters-in-law.
But the servant shook his head: "The Fourteenth Young Madam has lost her appetite recently and has been thinking about some of the cold dishes that the Young Madam is good at. I just sent Wan'er over and asked the Young Madam to come over forcefully."
The cousin-in-law is now pregnant, so it is reasonable for her to go to the kitchen to satisfy her cravings. Jiang Yashuang had nothing to say, so she sighed secretly and said, "Then I'll go find Bage. When Yilan comes back, I'll tell her!"
After the servant agreed, Jiang Yashuang arrived at Jiang Yadan's yard - considering that Jiang Yadan had not been back for long, she thought she could come out to meet him immediately. Unexpectedly, the maid made tea and asked him to wait in embarrassment. a while.
Jiang Yashuang knew exactly why he waited so long: it must be because his brother had spent so little time coming back and ended up in some aunt's room again.
He felt sad and angry, but he couldn't rush over and drag Jiang Yadan out, so he had to suppress his temper and wait.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Yadan, who had long, semi-wet hair, walked in while tying his belt and asked, "Why are you here? Fourth aunt has another order?"
"I want to have a few words with you, Bage." Jiang Yashuang glanced at the green eyes under his eyes, frowned and said, "Bago, you'd better be more restrained. Look at your face in the mirror. If you're not still there, In your prime, your body has collapsed a long time ago if you act so nonsense!”
Jiang Yadan said nonchalantly: "It's been a lot of hard work these past two days, but then fourth aunt didn't ask me to stay in this yard until the end of the summer vacation? I just want to be careless, and there are only a few people in front of me. I can't see too much." It's not interesting anymore." He frowned, "By the way, what's wrong with you when Fourth Sister hits me today? I haven't cheated you recently, nor have I ever asked you for money, right? If you don’t help me, why don’t you encourage Fourth Aunt to beat me more?”
"Don't even think about how angry you made Fourth Aunt this time!" Jiang Yashuang snorted coldly, "If I continue to speak for you, Fourth Aunt will be even more angry. Even if I don't beat you then, I will in the future I won’t care about you anymore, do you think it’s a good thing?”
"How come Fourth Aunt doesn't care about me?" Jiang Yadan said with a smile, "If she really doesn't want to care about me, she has to consider you, too? I am your brother-in-law. If anything goes wrong, I will definitely drag you down in the future. . "Fourth Aunt has always liked you the most, how could she let her go?"
Jiang Yashuang really had nothing to do with this brother. She sighed and was about to say something, but Jiang Yadan continued, "But you also said that I made Fourth Aunt very angry - that's all what happened in the past. This time, What does it have to do with me this time? I was so unjust! I was beaten so hard by Fourth Sister for no reason in the palace, and now you still say that to me?"
"If it weren't for what you did before, Bage, how could Fourth Aunt be fooled?" Jiang Yashuang glanced at him, do you have the nerve to say you were wronged? ! My dear aunt who is able to argue even if there is no reason is forced to feel guilty, isn't she
Jiang Yadan was still very unconvinced: "It was before, this time is this time! This time I obviously didn't do anything -"
"When the incident happened yesterday, Fourth Aunt immediately sent someone to look for you. You should have been on duty at that time." Jiang Yashuang sneered, "But I couldn't find you!"
"..." Jiang Yadan felt slightly embarrassed thinking about what he was busy with at that time, "I didn't expect such a coincidence."
Jiang Yashuang sneered: "Where did all these coincidences come from? It's just because it's too easy to distract you from Bage. All it takes is a somewhat pretty palace maid!"
Seeing Jiang Yadan laughing and not answering, Jiang Yashuang sighed, "Brother Bage, forget about your usual mischief. Now your nieces and nephews are almost enlightened. You are still so old and want your elders to worry about you. What do you think? Why bother? "Aren't you afraid that your sons and daughters will follow suit and develop into prodigal sons and losers
After all, he was his brother, but it was inconvenient for Jiang Yashuang to say this. He only hoped that Jiang Yadan could understand it on his own.
However, Jiang Yadan said indifferently: "Nineteen, don't you know me? I don't have any ambitions in this life. I just want to be free and happy. You will be the one to support the door after the fourth house. You want to find help , I heard that the sixteenth brother has become more sensible recently, you can just go to him - if you still feel that there are few people, you can lead your nephews after they are enlightened. You can discipline them harshly, but don't be soft. Their biological mother has something to say, I Go and settle things...why ask me for your path, right?"
Jiang Yashuang's face turned blue with anger, and she said in a cold voice, "But Brother Bago, you are the eldest son in our house!"
"It's not like the eldest son in every family can live up to his expectations!" Jiang Yadan felt very at ease, "Look at our family, our great uncle is not as successful as our grandfather! Look at our third uncle, he is suppressed by his eldest uncle everywhere in the court, and in his own room Well, I can’t compare to our father’s insight back then, so why should I be more successful than you?”
If he were his elder brother instead of his younger brother, Jiang Yashuang promised to kick him out immediately!
He suppressed his anger and asked, "So, what happened this time has not touched you at all?"
Jiang Yadan said in surprise: "What did I touch? You all know that I was wronged this time. Isn't it better if I don't care?"
"... Fourth Aunt doesn't want you to serve in the Royal Forest Army anymore, but she doesn't know where Bage plans to go next?" Jiang Yashuang looked at him with a complicated expression and asked.
Jiang Yadan said: "If you let me choose, I will naturally choose someone who is leisurely and can make money. But Fourth Aunt sent me back because she was obviously afraid that I would cause trouble for her. I'm afraid the elders will just find someone else for me." Can you please take the position that interferes with the overall situation so that I don’t have to worry about them anymore?”
Jiang Yashuang thought it would be good if you knew, and said calmly: "If Brother Bage wants to get a satisfactory job, why don't we take advantage of this period to perform well?"
"Let's get through it first, and we'll talk about it later." Jiang Yadan was too lazy to deal with him any more, and simply issued an eviction order, "Do you have anything else? If not, just leave. I'll go back later."
"...!" Jiang Yashuang was so angry that she stood up and left. When she got to the door, she gritted her teeth and dropped the words "Brother resigns."
As he walked out of the courtyard, his brows were full of evil spirits. Seeing no one around him, Jiang Tan cautiously advised: "Eighth Young Master has this kind of nature, and he can't change it after so many years. Why are you so angry?" Not only is the Queen and the old lady worried about her bad health, but the young lady is even more worried!"
"Go to my grandfather's place and ask if it's convenient for me to go there tonight?" Jiang Yashuang ignored his comfort and walked for a while before giving the order.
Jiang Tan took the order and left.
Jiang Yashuang returned to her yard alone. When she saw Shen Shui feeding Dabai and Nianxue in the yard, she asked, "Young Madam is back?"
Shen Shui hurriedly put the basket filled with cat food towards the beauty, and then said after a blessing: "Yes, the young lady seems a little tired, and is talking to Su He inside."
Jiang Yashuang frowned when she heard this, thinking that although He Shuijin was pregnant and more delicate, it was too much to boss her sister-in-law around. Even Sheng Shishui, her own sister-in-law, had never been so generous.
He felt a little unhappy. He walked into the house with gentle steps and saw Qiu Yilan under the west window. She had changed into the regular clothes she wore in her yard. She wore a pea green narrow sleeves with a blouse and a white-bottomed pink flower fairy skirt, half untied. The scarlet bun makes the whole person look fresh and pretty.
But she was sitting on the couch with her eyebrows furrowed and softly discussing something with Su He.
When they noticed Jiang Yashuang's entrance, the expressions of both the master and the servant changed. Without asking any other questions, they first shouted at Shen Shui: "Nineteenth came back and you didn't say a word. What did you ask you to do outside?"
"I heard her say that you were tired, and I thought you were taking a nap." Jiang Yashuang said hurriedly, "So I told her to be quiet... What are you talking about?"
"I didn't say anything." Qiu Yilan's tone was a little strange. She stood up and walked up a few steps, "Are you back? I didn't sleep well last night... How did things go?"
Listening to her tone, Jiang Yashuang didn't doubt that she had anything to do with Princess Lexin. Her depression faded a little, and she was about to answer with a smile - He was a head taller than Qiu Yilan. Even though Qiu Yilan deliberately walked away at this moment. When she came to him, he glanced over his wife's shoulder inadvertently and saw Su He quietly hiding a small oil paper bag originally placed on the edge of the couch into his sleeve.
Then he stood up and straightened his clothes, then came up to leave as if nothing had happened: "My maid, go to the kitchen to have a look."
"Lanlan is hiding something from me?" Jiang Yashuang was suspicious, "Then what is wrapped in oil paper?"
