"Oh? What did she tell you?" Jiang Shi asked curiously.
Jiang Qianniang shook her head: "I didn't say anything, but I heard her tell a story with her maid. Does my aunt know the history of the 'pseudo dynasty' in the early days of the Zhou Dynasty?"
Jiang Shi thought for a while: "Is it the part where Xia Weiming rebelled?"
Jiang Qianniang nodded: "Emperor Gaozu settles accounts after the autumn, killing all the Xia family is not counted, everyone in the capital with the surname Xia has been conjoined, and many people who were originally surnamed Xia have changed their surnames. There is a family surnamed Mao in Chuzhou. My daughter married a carpenter surnamed Xia in the early years. This carpenter surnamed Xia was framed by another carpenter in their village, saying that he was a remnant of a chaotic party and was imprisoned. This matter had nothing to do with the Mao family, but a certain One night, a group of people rushed into Mao's house and robbed all the valuables in their house. The government also turned a blind eye. This kind of thing did not happen rarely at that time, so Emperor Gaozu was in power. For more than 20 years, no one dared to marry their daughter to a man surnamed Xia, and the world later called it a 'calamity of in-laws'."
"The disaster of in-laws?" Jiang Shi muttered.
"I thought Mrs. Gao was just talking about an allusion and didn't take it to heart, but when I went back, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it was. Before, the Han family wanted to do a grain and oil business in Shunzhou and asked our Jiang family to connect with it. I Because of this in-law relationship, my father helped to run around for a while, but I didn't expect that the business was robbed by the Gao family in the end. Not long after that, there was a problem with the Jiang family's land, and it happened to be right again. This high family."
Jiang Shi frowned and said, "I am the one who implicated the Jiang family."
Jiang Qianniang shook her head: "Auntie, don't say that. How can we, as daughters, take care of the important matters of marriage? No matter which family we marry, it is for the benefit of the family."
Jiang Shi felt a lot better when he heard the words, and said with red eyes: "If it wasn't for the arrangement of the elders, who would be willing to continue the string for a man whose children are two rounds older than him?"
Jiang Qianniang took Jiang's hand and said, "So no matter what, the Jiang family still owes you to Auntie. My father also knows this in his heart. Auntie is at ease."
After some conversation, the relationship between the aunt and nephew became much closer.
"Then what should I do now? Do you need me to persuade him in front of the master?" Mrs Jiang wiped her tears and asked.
Jiang Qianniang asked back, "Will Master Han mention this kind of event in the Han family to you?"
Jiang Shi shook his head and said bluntly: "It may be that I have not been in the Han family for a long time, and I feel like an outsider very often. I will not tell me anything about the Han family. Not bad."
Mrs. Jiang felt that she might have no children, and the children left by Master Han's deceased wife were all so old. Grandpa Han even faintly wanted to let Han Yunqian take charge of the Han family over Master Han. Master Han is very light on the matter of husband and wife. The number of times that the two have succeeded since they got married is very small. Master Han does not seem to want to add more. These things made Jiang's family feel no sense of belonging in the Han family.
"That aunt should not mention it for the time being, it's not good for you to mention it." Jiang Qianniang said, "Don't worry, there must be smart people in the Han family today. We will go to the Yanbei Palace today to see the young lady of the Xiao family, and the conscientious people will definitely In his eyes, if he is smart enough, he will not sit still. And after this incident, your status in the Han family will definitely change, and the people of the Han family will no longer ignore you. They will definitely need to use it. It's your time."
"If that..." Jiang Shi was still a little worried.
Jiang Qianniang sighed: "Then don't worry, as long as the Jiang family is still there, there will always be a place for you."
In the Han family, after Jiang Shi and Jiang Qianniang left, Han Yunqian went to see his grandfather again.
Mr. Han was drawing something at the desk in the study without raising his head.
Han Yunqian glanced at it and could barely tell that it was a painting. There were houses, trees and flowers in the painting. However, Mr. Han's painting skills were not very good. It looked very scribbled, but Han Yunqian was no stranger to this painting. , because he has been watching Old Master Han's paintings since he was a child, and he has been doing it for 20 years. If any of the Ren family members saw the painting again, they would be very surprised, because the painting by Mr. Han turned out to be somewhere in the Ren family's mansion.
The old man Han made the last stroke, put the sheep in his hand in the brush washer, picked up the painting and handed it to Han Yunqian: "Look at it."
Han Yunqian took it and glanced at it silently.
Old Man Han stared at him with burning eyes: "Have you remembered it clearly?"
Han Yunqian pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes, grandfather, grandson remembered."
However, the old man slapped the bookcase fiercely and scolded: "It's no use just remembering! Remember it clearly! Remember it! You can't forget everything! When we get our revenge, we will take it back. My own things, the places where the thieves moved should be changed back as they were!" Old Man Han pinched Han Yunqian's shoulders, his fingertips turning white with strength, "Grandfather is old, especially these few people. In 2018, the things that were originally remembered began to be forgotten. So you have to remember for your grandfather, you know?"
Han Yunqian's expression didn't change at all. It seemed that the old man Han was not pinching his shoulders. He replied in a low voice, "Yes, grandfather, grandson understands."
The old man Han was finally satisfied, let go of Han Yunqian, picked up the picture and looked at it again, frowning: "No, this pot of Arhats is not placed in this position..." He picked up the pen and lowered his head to draw.
Han Yunqian stood aside and quietly watched the old man Han for a long time, and suddenly said, "Grandfather..."
Without raising his head, Mr. Han replied casually, "Huh?"
Han Yunqian paused for a while, then said, "The grandson will retire first." After saying that, he saluted and left the study.
After exiting from Father Han's study, Han Yunqian slowly let out the breath that had been held in his chest for a long time. He raised his hand and touched his numb left shoulder, then put it down with a blank face, then stood in the courtyard for a long time, and finally stopped a woman who came in from outside and asked in a low voice, "Madam and Jiang Is the lady back?"
The old woman hurriedly said, "You're back, young master."
Han Yunqian nodded and let the old woman go down.
That evening, after eating, Jiang Shi and Jiang Qianniang planned to go to the garden to go around to digest and digest, but they did not want to meet Han Yunqian, the eldest young master of the Han family.
Han Yunqian saluted Jiang, and Jiang Qianniang quickly bowed her knees.
Jiang Shi smiled and said, "It's rare to see you at home, aren't you busy today?"
In fact, Han Yunqian and Jiang's age are not too different. In order to avoid suspicion, Han Yunqian rarely appears in front of Jiang's except to go to his father's yard to ask for An.
Han Yunqian nodded politely and replied, "I have some matters to discuss with my grandfather." Then he asked Jiang Qianniang, "Is Miss Jiang still used to living there? If you need anything, just tell your mother, don't be polite."
Jiang Qianniang replied with a smile and thanked her.
After a few words of greetings, the three walked unhurriedly in the garden, and Han Yunqian finally said, "I heard from A You that mother and Miss Jiang went to the Yanbei Palace today?"
Jiang Qianniang glanced at Han Yunqian and said with a smile, "Yes, when I came to Yanbei before, I had a few encounters with the young lady of the Xiao family, and I felt that I was a good fit. Today, I have the cheek to visit the door. Fortunately, the young lady is very friendly. , don't blame me for being abrupt."
As smart as Han Yunqian, he naturally didn't believe Jiang Qianniang's nonsense, but he didn't reveal it, just nodded.
After a long time, Han Yunqian said again: "There is something... I want to ask my mother for a favor." Han Yunqian was still a little hesitant when he said this, maybe because of his relationship with Jiang, he did not want to be with Jiang. There are too many involvements, perhaps because they don't trust the Jiang family and the Jiang family.
But now the Han family needs a mistress to come forward. He is not married, and his biological mother is no longer there. The other two mistresses of the Han family, Mrs. Han, has always been obedient to Mr. Han, and Han You is too young and innocent. In the end, there was only one Jiang family left.
It has been a while since Jiang's married into the Han family. Han Yunqian felt that although this Jiang's temperament was a little strong and a little clever, it was not unreasonable and annoying, and his nature was not bad.
Moreover, the behavior of Jiang Qianniang and Jiang's going to the Yanbei Palace today shows that these two must have some awareness of the Han family's affairs. Although they may not know much, otherwise the Jiang family would not make such self-protection actions.
Han Yunqian is not Mr. Han, and he will not be blinded by the hatred of previous generations. He cares more about the whole family than revenge.
If the price of revenge is to bury the entire Han family, he can't accept it, because the safety of the family who gets along day and night is more important to him than the great-grandparents who have never met. It's just that the old man Han has already gone crazy, and it is impossible to listen to the persuasion, so Han Yunqian did not waste his energy after persuading him several times to no avail.
Now if you want to end this matter, you can only find another way without the knowledge of Mr. Han.
Han Yunqian has now figured out who is secretly planning the latest things. He doesn't blame Ren Yaoqi. On the contrary, the woman he admires most is her. She has the courage, means, and courage, but she is not bad-hearted, and her grievances are clear.
Han Yunqian knew in his heart that with Ren Yaoqi's current identity and her intelligence, if he really wanted to deal with the Han family, the Han family would never be able to survive today.
But Ren Yaoqi also gave the Han family a warning this time.
If the Han family still wants to go their own way, Han Yunqian believes that the Han family will betray each other in the future, and experience what the Ren family has experienced before. First, the Yun family and the Jiang family, and there will be more families who have contacts in the future who will draw a clear line with the Han family.
Han Yunqian sighed. Some things should be settled. He couldn't let the more than 100 members of the Han family be buried with the hatred of Mr. Han.
