Arranging for Jiang Jingmu and Jiang Jingman to join the clan and study was just a word to Jiang Yashuang, and he didn't even need to go there in person. But whether he is an uncle or a father, he must tell Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan.
However, after another three or two days, the two cousins were still missing. Jiang Yashuang sent someone to the "Yinchun Tower" to inquire, only to find out that the three Jiang Yadan brothers were traveling with prostitutes and went to a village in Gyeonggi Province. When they left, they did not mention the specific date of their return to Beijing.
Jiang Yashuang was speechless, so she had to go to her two cousins-in-law, He and Jin, to discuss it in person.
He didn't have any problem: "I'm really bothering my 19th brother! My 19th brother has to think about Mu'er like this despite his busy schedule. It really makes me feel uneasy..." After a few polite words, he told Jiang Jingmu to respect his uncle. Listen carefully to your uncle.
Afterwards, the servants reminded Jiang Yashuang that she was not very willing to accept her nephew as an apprentice. Now she had only taught her a few times, so she suggested that her nephew go to the clan school. Could it be that she was trying to save the country by pushing her nephew into the clan school? idea? Mr. He disagreed: "Do you think the family education of the Jiang family in Beijing is the same as that in Kui County? Over there, except for three or two brothers like Mu'er, they are the children of the gentry from far and near. Enrolling in school means supporting their brothers and playing with them. It doesn’t matter whether we go there or not!”
"Although I am not from a high family background and have limited experience, I heard from my father-in-law before I left. In this Jingzhong clan school, not to mention Mu'er and his cousins, those who are not surnamed Jiang are mostly high-ranking officials and nobles. ! Even if you can’t learn anything in ethnic studies, it’s still a good thing to get to know these people!”
He also ordered, "From now on, double Mu'er's monthly money, and teach him how to treat guests when you have time. Make friends with your classmates as soon as possible. In this way, no matter how good your studies are in the future, there will be more opportunities for whatever you do, right?" "
Compared with He's cheerfulness, Jin's attitude was thought-provoking. Before she could finish listening to Jiang Yashuang's words, she took out her handkerchief and started sobbing: "My husband and I have only two male heirs. Zhan'er is gone. Now only Lai Man'er is left! I really can't trust him to leave my eyes!"
Jiang Yashuang said hurriedly: "Fifth sister-in-law, although the family school is not in the Duke's Mansion, it is only across the street from the Duke's Mansion. Moreover, when our children go to school, they are escorted by guards, and there has never been any trouble. of!"
"Did anything happen to Zhan'er when he came in and out? But... But if you say it's gone, it's gone!" Jin cried until she burst into tears, but her attitude was extremely determined, "So I don't want Man'er to leave even half a step, I would rather him It is better to live a mediocre life than to send someone with gray hair away from us!"
... Anyway, no matter what Jiang Yashuang said, she just didn't agree with Jiang Jingman's family studies, and she just wanted to keep him by her side and stare at him!
Jiang Yashuang went back to the hospital very depressed and told Qiu Yilan: "I even asked my fifth sister-in-law to go to the clan school. Our family has made countless enemies over the years. How could we not pay attention to the important place in the clan academy?! But why did my fifth sister-in-law not care about it? Don’t believe it!”
"This Jin family may not believe it. I remember that Jiang Jingman and Jiang Jingzhan are half-mothers, the latter is the legitimate son, and the former is a concubine." Qiu Yilan smiled, but secretly thought in her heart, "It turns out that a concubine has no respect for Jin. The mother and son also pose no threat, but now that the legitimate son is dead and the bastard son is alive, and the husband is fooling around outside all day long, the Jin family is worried that it is unlikely that she will have another child at her age. If the bastard son achieves something after entering school, he will It’s hard to control! That’s why I’m not letting him go to the clan school as an excuse!”
However, she was not familiar with the Jin family, so there was no need to tell her husband about this guess - if she guessed wrong, wouldn't she have cheated the Jin family? Even if she guessed correctly, Qiu Yilan didn't want to make a pointless feud.
"I think it was because Jing Zhan's death was so miserable that it irritated her?" At this moment, he said perfunctorily, "Didn't Jing Zhan's wife go away because of this?"
"It's better to go to Zhuangzi and invite Fifth Brother back to talk. Jingman is too old to delay any more. I don't think his foundation is very solid. If he spends three days fishing and two days drying the net, I’m afraid my academic achievements in this life will be limited!”
Jiang Yashuang rubbed the center of her brows, her face not looking good, "It's true, Bage, you can just play around by yourself, why bother dragging fourth and fifth brothers along? After all, it's only been more than a year since my great-uncle left, even though the fourth brother My brother and my fifth brother have already given birth to filial piety, and their parents are still in the filial piety period. It’s really outrageous to just mess around like this!”
Qiu Yilan smiled: "If Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother don't like it, Bage may not be able to invite them! It's not entirely Bage's fault for this matter."
"...too!" After being reminded by his wife, Jiang Yashuang thought that the Duke's Mansion was most worried about the second and fifth houses coming to Beijing, squandering the property of the Duke's Mansion, and dividing the cake of the court - Jiang Yadan took Jiang Ya Zhao and Jiang Yawan are obsessed with beauty. Although it may cost money, if the two of them are really lost in the colorful world of the capital, the court may not be able to get in.
This is actually a good thing for Si Fang, who doesn't value the property of the Duke's Mansion very much, but values the cakes in the court.
At that moment, Jiang Yashuang no longer complained about Jiang Yadan. She called her servant Jiang Lin and told him: "... Be sure to bring back Fifth Brother's correct words, and then I can arrange for Jingman to enter the clan school, so as not to just rely on hope." You are wasting your lessons by relying on me to teach you!”
Jiang Lin is Jiang Tan's cousin, and both brothers are sons of the Jiang family. Last year, Jiang Tan assigned someone to work as a steward, so Jiang Yashuang appointed twelve-year-old Jiang Lin to replace him. Jiang Lin knew Jiang Yashuang's preferences very well, so he got started quickly because of his direct cousin's words and deeds.
I thought he would bring back Jiang Yawan's reply quickly this time, but there was no news for three to five days. Jiang Yashuang was both inconvenient and unhappy: "What's going on? Was there an accident, or was he confused and delayed?"
Just as they were suspicious, the servants reported that Jiang Yadan and the others were back together—Jiang Lin was back with them.
Hearing this, Jiang Yashuang went to meet her three brothers first and asked if they had enjoyed their trip. When it came to clan studies, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan both said cheerfully: "It's about schoolwork, Nineteenth Brother." It’s an expert, just look at it!”
So the matter was settled—Jiang Yashuang took Jiang Lin back to the courtyard and asked him why he returned so late.
"When I went to Zhuangzi, the Eighth Young Master said that they were coming back anyway and asked me to go with them." Jiang Lin saw that he was unhappy and said cautiously.
Jiang Yashuang didn't say anything after hearing this, and waved him away.
Two days later, he ordered the steward of the front yard to arrange a job for Jiang Lin in the shop outside, and picked a new boy named Jiang Shan to replace Jiang Lin.
"You are really not an ordinary fool!" No matter how ignorant Jiang Lin was, he knew that he had offended Jiang Yashuang. He did not dare to pester his master, so he cried and went to Jiang Tan to express his grievances. When Jiang Tan heard this, he was so angry that he kicked him, "Are you the 19th Young Master's servant, or the 8th Young Master's servant?! The 19th Young Master asked you to go and ask the Fifth Young Master and then go back and report it. You are so stupid, how could the Nineteenth Young Master still keep you by your side? Thanks to the Nineteenth Young Master, I would have found another job for you! You were kicked out!"
Jiang Lin sobbed and said, "But the Eighth Young Master is the brother of the Nineteenth Young Master, and he said something..."
"This is not a matter of the relationship between the Eighth Young Master and the Nineteenth Young Master!" Jiang Tan said speechlessly, "You only thought that you dare not refuse the Eighth Young Master, but you never thought that the Nineteenth Young Master only sent you to ask questions at Zhuangzi. If you don't go back for a day, the Nineteenth Young Master will be waiting for news. Fortunately, this matter is not urgent. Otherwise, can you afford to miss something important?"
Jiang Lin suddenly realized and asked sadly: "Now that I know I was wrong, do I still have a chance to return to the young master?"
"You should feel at ease and do the errands assigned to you by the young master!" Jiang Tan shook his head. Jiang Shan had already gone on errands. How could Jiang Lin still have a chance? The only thing to blame is that Jiang Lin is too stupid.
"It's all the Eighth Young Master's fault! If he hadn't persuaded him to stay, why wouldn't I have come back in time to report the Young Master?!" Jiang Lin was disappointed, but turned his anger on Jiang Yadan - of course he didn't dare to do anything to Jiang Yadan, he just hated him Just in my heart.
...Jiang Lin's matter was not worth mentioning to the masters. They could just send it away and forget it in a few days.
After all, there are so many people and things to worry about in our family.
For example, the matter of Jiang Jingmu and Jiang Jingman's entry into the clan was resolved, and the two decisions made by Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan made everyone in the Jiang family, especially the fourth bedroom, and especially Jiang Yashuang and his wife almost want to vomit blood. : They want to take concubines!
The problem is not here, the problem is that one of them plans to take in Huashen from "Yinchun Tower"; the other plans to take in Penglai Yue from "Jinpa Pavilion"! ! !
"Is this a coincidence or intentional?" After Qiu Yilan learned the news, she was so shocked that she finally came back to her senses for a long time, "Also, the last time Bago invited them on a trip... didn't mean that they went to the Yinchun Tower first. Then did You Xing bring someone from the Yinchun Tower? Why did Penglai Yue get involved again? "
"It is said that the fourth brother and the fifth brother were so shocked when they saw Hua Shen that they almost fought over her. In order to smooth things over, the eighth brother said that there was a Penglai Yue in Beijing and had been fighting against Hua Shen." Jiang Yashuang also had an ugly expression on her face, "So I invited Penglai Yue from the 'Jinpa Pavilion', and the fourth brother and the fifth brother stopped one by one!"
"...!!!" Qiu Yilan simply didn't know what to say now
After calming down for a moment, she said, "I remember that there are rules in the family, and you cannot take a concubine unless you are a good family member?"
"You can't alarm your grandfather for such a thing, right?" Jiang Yashuang smiled bitterly, "Uncle and the others have no intention of taking care of it, let alone us peers."
Duke Guo of Qin has been lying on the bed for more than a year, and finally started to get better. No one in the Duke's house would agree to disturb him at this time with such a trivial matter as his great-grandchildren taking concubines.
Now the elders don't care, and it's really embarrassing for the cousin to persuade him - Qiu Yilan rubbed her forehead, always feeling that Hua Shenshen and Penglai Yue wanted to enter Qiu Jinglan's backyard to no avail, and now they entered the Jiang family's door together, Some of it was directed at myself and Qiu Jinglan in a roundabout way.
So he said: "It's hard to persuade them not to let famous prostitutes into the house, but I think it's better to explain the relationship between these two and my brother in the past, otherwise... I'm afraid that they will hate them out of love and turn around and cause trouble. Come!"
Jiang Yashuang said thoughtfully: "I'll talk to Brother Ba later and ask Brother Ba to tell Brother Four and Brother Five."
After these days of messing around together, Jiang Yadan has already been in a heated relationship with Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan, so it is most appropriate for him to do it. Besides, Jiang Yashuang has always been upright in his style. With his character, it is best to go Tell your two cousins that the concubine you want to take had an affair with my brother-in-law in the past. At one time, I cried and shouted that I wanted to marry my brother-in-law. Unfortunately, my brother-in-law's wife did not agree... He really couldn't say anything.
