After all, Jiang Huizhu was just a junior, and she was not very favored by Jiang Yadan and Chu Yitong. After Jiang Yadan decided not to care about her younger brother and sister-in-law, no matter how hard she tried, it was all to no avail - Gu Graceful came in and picked up the broken jewelry one by one for her, and said calmly: "The matter has come to this, if you can be more generous and expose it, you can still make your 19th uncle and 19th aunt feel guilty and do something." Compensation. If you don’t give in, I’m afraid there will be no compensation for you!”
"Besides, if this matter spreads, do you think it will be good for you?"
After being coaxed and frightened, Jiang Huizhu went to visit Chu Yitong and Qiu Yilan one after another with a pale face, and said to the former: "It's all my daughter's fault, causing her mother to worry! My daughter is here to apologize to her mother!"
He said to the latter, "My aunt has given me such a generous gift, but I am really ashamed to accept it - in fact, the matter has not been spread, and my niece has nothing to feel wronged about."
Both sisters-in-law thought she was sensible.
... This incident has passed, at least it has passed on the scene.
Next, Lu He and Fan Sulian were officially engaged, and Jiang Huizhu, as Fan Sulian's cousin, gave her a gift. It was the same gift as other Miss Sun's gifts from the Jiang family, neither light nor heavy, and in the middle it was inconspicuous at all. It was as if she and Lu He really had nothing.
Although Qiu Yilan knew that these were all taught by Gu Wanna, it was not easy for her to listen to advice at her age. She ordered her surroundings: "In the future, if you see outstanding talents when you go out, please pay attention to me! Looking back, Let’s see if there’s anything suitable for Pearl!”
Mu Jin covered her mouth and smiled: "Young Master Fan, who just moved in in the front yard, is still more handsome than Young Master Lu..."
"Although the Fan family doesn't know anything, some things should be forgotten!" Qiu Yilan frowned and glanced at her warningly, "Besides, Fan Sujie plans to end his life next year. At this point, who dares to disturb his mood? Isn’t it going to hurt him for life?”
Mu Jin's heart trembled, and she hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "I know that I am guilty, and I will not dare to talk anymore in the future!"
"Go and kneel in the inner room for an hour." Qiu Yilan ordered coldly, "Anyone who dares to mention Zhu'er in the future will be given dumb potion and sold out!" She is famously generous among the Jiang family masters. Please wait. It's not harsh, and since there are no concubines in the backyard, the atmosphere in the yard has always been relaxed and lively.
Hibiscus and the others had just been brought up, and when Su He and the others were watching the work, they were still scared; after getting familiar with it, they became a little frivolous. Now that I was scolded by Qiu Yilan, I learned to be awe again. I was trembling with fear from top to bottom for several days in a row.
Jiang Yashuang noticed it and asked his wife privately: "Has someone committed a crime?"
"I was too used to it before, and gradually I couldn't even look at it." Qiu Yilan could take care of the mere maids in a matter of minutes, so she didn't bother to let her husband worry about it. She just said, "It looks like there is still hope in the past two days. I'll keep him for now... Fan Sujie is also here, I'll arrange it for him, is that okay? "
The purpose of Fan Su's trip to Beijing during this festival was to attend the Spring Festival - he arrived in Beijing early and was accompanied by his grandmother Jiang Tianyuan, so he naturally would not miss the opportunity to ask his cousin Tanhua for advice.
Since his sister was promised to Lu He, Jiang Yashuang asked him to live in the guest room in the front yard with Lu He to give face to both his aunt and the student. In this way, the two of them can be classmates and verify their homework together, and it will be convenient for Jiang Yashuang to give guidance.
Of course, it was Qiu Yilan who arranged for him to move in. Originally, there was no need to worry about being a cousin, but Jiang Tianyuan was particularly proud in front of Qin Guogong, and the relationship between Jiang and Fan's family was quite complicated. Qiu Yilan thought it was better to ask her husband. good.
Seeing his wife asking at this moment, Jiang Yashuang said disapprovingly: "He is just a junior. Since he is the same generation as He'er, it is very considerate to give him what he gives to He'er."
Qiu Yilan heard that his tone didn't seem to value Fan Sujie very much, and she asked in surprise: "Isn't Fan Sujie good?" The temperaments of the family, if nothing unexpected, are similar. If Fan Sujie can't get into Jiang Yashuang's eyes, then Fan Sulian's temper will probably not be right for Qiu Yilan - this would be a tragedy. After going through such a big deal and offending his brother, sister-in-law and niece, if the apprentice's wife he marries is still an enemy. , is this too frustrating
Fortunately, the situation is not that bad. Jiang Yashuang shook his head and said: "It's not bad. It's just that he was in Xie Yuan at the age of fifteen and was determined to imitate his elder brother. But the eldest uncle is a sensible person and knows that although he was in Xie Yuan, he will leave Jinshi is far away, and two years ago he was forced not to go to Beijing. This year he made a big fuss, and his eldest aunt missed his grandfather, so his eldest uncle let him go... After all, he didn't grow up in front of his eyes. I'm not much older than him, so I can't say it directly: I'm afraid he won't be as good as he is next year!"
Does that mean you are proud
Fifteen-year-old Jieyuan is only eighteen this year, so it is natural to be proud - as long as he has no other bad qualities. Qiu Yilan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I don't know much about the imperial examination, but he turned out to be Jieyuan back then. How could my eldest uncle not even let him die?"
It sounds like she is very powerful. Qiu Jinglan was already 17 or 18 years old when she took the National People's Government Examination, and she didn't get Jieyuan. Shouldn't she still be named on the gold list
Of course, not all Jieyuan can be ranked on the apricot list, but the dignified Jieyuan didn't even get the qualification to be eliminated. "Did the eldest uncle intend to let him compete for the title of head armor, so he deliberately suppressed it?"
Jiang Yashuang laughed and said: "Jie Yuan also depends on where he is. My eldest uncle has been an official in Luzhou for decades, but the ancestral home of the Fan family is in Bozhou - that place can be called a remote place, and you can't find it anywhere in the country." If a few scholars come out, Fan Sujie says they are Jieyuan. If they go to a richer place, they will just be ordinary people!"
After a pause, he said, "You are pregnant now, so you don't have to worry too much. You must know that Fan Sujie lives in our yard. That is because the eldest aunt owes us a favor, but it is not that we owe the eldest aunt a favor. Taking care of him is a matter of affection, and we have He has no right to complain about any negligence... Even if they are relatives, who is not closer to me than him, Jing Mu? I didn't even call him over!"
"This child is quite good. She doesn't torment me like Huiying did." Qiu Yilan felt warm in her heart when she heard the concern in her husband's words. She stroked her belly and said with a smile, "It doesn't affect my work now... After all, He My son is engaged to Su Lian, and for He'er's sake, why don't I treat his future brother-in-law too little
Her pregnancy was confirmed by a doctor the day before yesterday - which was a reassurance for the couple. Of course, people who curse misdiagnosis during these days will be greatly disappointed!
The topic just turned to the children, and the matter was settled after a few words.
It was the end of October, and there was nothing to say in the following days. Until November, Jiang Huizhi gave birth in Quezhi Palace, and the mother and child were safe. The government and the opposition, which had finally been calm for a few days, were once again undercurrents!
Although the period of confinement for the Duke of E's wife has expired and she was taken back to the Duke of E's palace in Beijing from Dizi Mountain, the ban on entering the palace within one year without an edict is still there. She had experienced the last time she asked for an audience in the palace but was forcibly sent back to another courtyard. She was so anxious that she didn't dare to make any mistakes. She had to urge her daughter-in-law Zhao: "Quickly go to the palace and tell the empress: Since the imperial concubine has given birth to a son, please immediately How can the matter of the eldest prince being the crown prince be delayed any longer?”
Zhao was very reluctant: "Mother, even if the imperial concubine gives birth to a son, the eldest prince is both the eldest and the legitimate heir, so why should we worry?"
"What do you know?! Don't you know that my eldest sister has returned to Beijing?" Mrs. E Guogong said angrily, "My sister is stupid and blessed. Although she is stupid, she is loved by my second uncle the most! If the second uncle favors the elder brother because of his affection, and favors her because he sincerely cares for her - if she is asked to persuade the second uncle... think about what will happen to our family! "
But she didn't know that Jiang Tianyuan, whom she was afraid of, was being scolded by her eldest brother behind her back: "Huizhi is also her niece and nephew. I remember when the old woman Han was in charge of the family, if our father hadn't fought to protect her, she would be afraid of her." She was sold by the Han family a long time ago. How can she still be blessed today? It’s just a matter of not talking to our second uncle in front of her, but he actually advised us to be patient and patient... Her eldest grandson is only fifteen years old. I just met Yuan, and as soon as my eldest granddaughter came to Beijing, she got engaged to someone from the fourth house, and everything went smoothly. She didn’t care about the pain and grievances we have suffered over the years. She just stood up and talked without pain in her back! "
"It's a good thing my father is still in Kui County! Otherwise, my heart would freeze when I heard those words!"
… This is what Jiang Tianyuan advised the eldest son: "If it hadn't been for the protection of my second uncle, your father and I would have been long gone! Even though we say we are uncles, we are actually more worried than our biological father! So far we have not been able to repay our second uncle. It’s nothing to pay back, so how can he still argue with his children, make the whole family restless, and make his second uncle disappointed and sad?”
Then she began to recall how she and Jiang Tianyao were abused in the hands of Mrs. Han, how timely the Duke of Qin rescued her, and how much she loved him after being taken into his lap by the Duke of Qin... Jiang Tianyuan herself spoke with tears in her eyes, in front of A group of juniors cried several times in front of them, but little Dou and Lu cried with her in person, but they were extremely bored behind the scenes: "You are so filial, why didn't you come back a few years ago? Why did you send your eldest grandson to Beijing?" When she came, she promised her eldest granddaughter to Fourth Fang. Who knows if she thought that Fourth Fang had a bright future and wanted to join her, so she came to Beijing under the pretext of visiting her second uncle--so my second uncle was so confused that he believed her words!"
"The eldest granddaughter is not allowed to give Lu He to the fourth bedroom. Why did the 19th National Congress so easily let Fan Sujie live there? Looking back at those words now, it is clear that she wants to climb up in our room - all of us in this room are ungrateful. She is a good person herself!”
Xiao Dou and Lu originally thought that having such an aunt who was favored by the Duke of Qin would make their life in this house much easier. Who would have thought that Jiang Tianyuan not only failed to count on her, but also made the whole family bow down in her words, making them suddenly feel that this aunt was extremely hateful!
It's just that the Duke of E's wife doesn't know - even if she knows, judging others with her own heart, I'm afraid she's just pretending.
So at the New Year's Eve banquet, Jiang Tianyuan was unexpectedly left out. Everyone in front and behind talked to each other, but no one paid attention to her!
Not only her, but also Fan Sulian was ignored among girls of the same age—grandfather and grandson were left alone like this. It was really embarrassing!
Seeing this situation, Mrs. Tao quickly called Jiang Tianyuan to her side, and gave Qiu Yilan a wink to ask her to bring Fan Sulian with her, and then the two reluctantly got off the stage!
"I felt embarrassed during the full moon party of my 20th brother. Such a beautiful girl, it's a pity that my family is so young, otherwise I would have snatched her up to be my daughter-in-law!" Qiu Yilan's current circle includes the Queen, Zhuang Man, and Jiang Qi Zheng, Ruan Ciyi, He Shuijin and others. Although Fan Sulian is less than ten years younger than them, firstly, he is a junior, and secondly, this woman who has not left the court has a child with the woman who has left the court. The topic It's always different.
So after she was invited over by the maid, Jiang Qizheng started with a joke. Everyone praised her and had nothing to say to her. The queen turned her eyes and was about to find a few generous and sensible people from the palace. Girls of the same age were playing with her. The eldest prince, Chu Shao, stumbled onto her lap and begged: "Mother, Queen! My child, will you take your cousins to have a snowball fight in the imperial garden?"
"It's late at night!" The queen stretched out her hand to straighten his collar and refused, "Wait until daytime!"
The people in this circle turned around and saw that the cousins Chu Shao was talking about were their children: Jiang Jingkun, Qiu Yeming, Li Gen, Jiang Jinglang, and Jiang Jingya were all there, looking at them eagerly.
Then we cannot let them go! These are the darlings of their parents. Don’t worry, even if they come into contact with each other, they will kill their elders!
However, children at this age are not very sensible yet, and they are stalking... After a while of commotion, Queen Mother Jiang was alarmed over there. After asking about what happened, she sent Miss Lin to smooth things over: "Let's have a snowball fight in the open space in front of the palace. Get more internal guards and put lights on them!"
After the Queen Mother said this, the Queen had no choice but to let them go, and specially asked her confidant, the female official, to go out and keep an eye on them: "Let them play for a while and then call them in, but be sure not to catch a cold!"
Fan Sulian was depressed that he was being the background here. When he saw this, he took the opportunity to get up and ask for orders: "Your Majesty, will you accompany me to watch over the eldest prince and his younger brothers?"
