Before the maids came in to serve, Jiang Qian put on her clothes despite the pain in her body, walked to the window and opened it.
The wind blew in, with a sultry warmth, mixed with the sultry smell in the house, and there was a kind of fragrant nausea.
Jiang Qian was already accustomed to this, she stood by the window and stared at a clump of emerald green bananas outside.
She lost so many people in Bo Mansion. These days, she often saw ridicule in the eyes of those in the Hou Mansion. She originally wanted to slow down and bring Jiang Si over, but Cao Xingyu couldn't wait.
She didn't dare to delay any longer, because she knew better than everyone what kind of person Cao Xingyu was. Once that person went crazy, he would be irrational.
Blocking is worse than sparse, instead of letting him stab her with a big basket to make her unlucky together, it is better to follow his mind and invite Jiang Si to come over and ask him to see enough.
Jiang seems to be her cousin, a serious noble daughter of the uncle, Cao Xingyu will not mess around for the time being, at most she has passed the eye addiction.
When the maid's request came from outside the door, Jiang Qian complied, ignoring the maids who filed in, and lifted her foot to the study.
With her current situation, it is not so easy to ask Jiang Si to pass the house.
In the grandmother's mind, she is the one who brings bad luck. Even if Jiang Xi is willing to come, the grandmother will most likely not agree.
Jiang Qian carefully wrote two letters and ordered them to be sent to Dongpingbo Mansion.
The second wife, Mrs. Xiao, received Jiang Qian's letter, tears fell directly, and she went to Cixintang with reddish eye circles.
From the Cixin Hall came the singing of babble babble.
After Mrs. Feng's eyes improved, she gained a hobby of watching dramas. With the financial resources of the uncle's house, it would be uneconomical to support a drama troupe all year round. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang Er is a filial piety and bought it from the drama troupe. Two girls in their early 10s, specializing in making old ladies happy.
"Old lady, the second lady is here."
Now is not the time to say goodbye, Madam Feng did not move her brows, she still closed her eyes and beat the beat, listening to the two little girls in costumes sing.
Mrs. Feng's indifference to the Xiao family is undoubtedly clear.
Everyone in Cixintang actually understood that this was because the old lady was still annoyed by the second aunt.
No wonder Mrs. Feng was angry, Liu Xiangu's ritual inexplicably became the focus of attention in the capital, that's all, but Liu Xiangu was killed again, and those officials in Shuntian Prefecture made trouble for several days, and even the shadow of the murderer could be seen. Not caught.
What is the most talked about thing in the world? Not the past, but the unresolved.
If the murderer of Liu Xiangu is not found for a day, the enthusiasm of the people in the capital will not diminish in a short period of time, and then the involvement of Liu Xiangu and Dongping Uncle Mansion will be talked about over and over again.
Now there is even a saying that Liu Xiangu pointed out that Mrs. Changxing Hou Shizi was possessed by evil spirits, which led to the loss of Changxing Hou's mansion, so she was killed.
Of course, this kind of statement is very nonsense, and people with big families can laugh when they hear it, but those common people who listen to the wind are the rain, but they are always happy to spread the rumors, and the more they talk, the more they have noses and eyes.
Madam Feng felt so angry when she thought of this, and it was strange that her attitude towards Mrs. Xiao could be good.
Mr. Xiao stood outside for a quarter of an hour before being invited in.
"Is something wrong?"
Holding a small box, Mrs Xiao smiled and said, "This is a string of agarwood beads that Brother Cang got by chance. Knowing that you like it, I quickly ordered someone to send it back."
Hearing Mrs. Xiao mention the eldest grandson, Mrs. Feng's expression softened a little, she motioned for Ah Fu to take the box over, and said lightly, "He doesn't study hard, what is he doing with all his attention?"
Xiao Shi immediately said: "filial piety to the old lady is a matter of course and right, how can you be bothered."
Old Madam Feng closed her eyes slightly as she rubbed the mahogany box the size of her palm.
It was true that she was unhappy, but no matter how much she looked at the second daughter-in-law, it was impossible for the third daughter-in-law to manage the family.
In the end, the face is still reserved for the second daughter-in-law.
Madam Feng opened her eyes and said lightly, "I know you have this kind of filial piety."
Xiao Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on his face became stronger, and he said after deliberation, "Qian'er sent a letter to the old lady today..."
She said and took out the letter.
Old Madam Feng's face sank instantly: "Either she runs to her mother's house every three days or every three days to deliver letters to her mother's house. Will she not be able to survive in Hou's residence?"
When Xiao Shi heard the words, he wiped the corner of his eyes: "Old Madam, Qian'er really can't go on living in Hou's mansion. She was originally a high-married woman, and her belly hasn't moved in the past two years, so she can stand firm in Hou's mansion. It was your love, but now—"
Madam Feng was unmoved.
Xiao Shi secretly gritted his teeth and begged with all his face: "Old Madam, you know, Qian'er has been a sensible person since she was a child, she would not dare disturb your purity, she just wanted to invite her sisters to stay in the Hou residence for two days. , and lest those who stepped on the ground in Hou's mansion see the jokes between her and our uncle's mansion..."
The meaning of Xiao Shi's words is very clear. Because of Liu Xiangu's affairs, Hou's mansion thought that Uncle's mansion did not take this married girl seriously at all. If the girls of Uncle's mansion were willing to go to Hou's mansion to play for two days at this time, This guess is naturally self-defeating, and it also solves Jiang Qian's dilemma.
Madam Feng listened to Xiao Shi's words expressionlessly, and her eyes fell on the letter.
On the letter was written a row of beautiful small characters: granddaughter Qian'er beckoned grandmother to Kai.
Looking at the familiar handwriting, Mrs. Feng softened a little.
She didn't like seeing the eldest daughter-in-law from the very beginning. The eldest daughter-in-law's eldest daughter-in-law was stupid and stupid, and naturally she couldn't like it. The second granddaughter, who was about the same age as the eldest granddaughter, was smart and lovable since she was a child, and she loved her very much. The granddaughter's initiation and learning of calligraphy started in the Bisha closet in Cixintang.
Madam Feng thought for a while and opened the letter to look.
Jiang Qian's eloquence and good manners were fully revealed in the letter. After Mrs. Feng read the letter, her expression softened a bit.
Xiao Shi took the opportunity to request: "Old lady, you have pity on Qian'er. My daughter-in-law heard from the mother-in-law who delivered the letter that Qian'er is now thin to a handful of bones..."
"Forget it, it's a good season right now, it's better to let them go out to get some air." Madam Feng finally let out a sigh.
Xiao Shi looked happy.
Old Madam Feng's tone changed, "But let's talk about it first, if they got into trouble in the past, and the Hou Mansion would see a joke, Qian'er can't escape the responsibility of being a big sister!"
"Don't worry, old lady, Qian'er is the most friendly sister and will definitely accompany her sisters."
Haitang was in the middle, Jiang Xi took Jiang Qian's invitation to read, then threw it on the desk, and instructed Ah Qiao: "Go and find out if the other girls have received the post."
After a while, Ah Qiao came to report: "The third girl, the fifth girl, and the sixth girl have all received it."
The result was not as Jiang Xian expected, but it made her sigh.
Two days later, the four girls from Bo Mansion rode together in a carriage and went to the Marquis of Changxing Mansion.
