Zhulan thought carefully about the name of Jiang Ming's eldest daughter. She had a good memory and finally remembered that her name was Jiang Muting.
Qingxue asked, "Do you want to meet him?"
Zhulan didn't want to see him, and no one would say anything if she didn't see him. She used to be more apprehensive, but now she is more casual and waved her hand, "I'm tired."
Qingxue nodded and went out to talk to the servant. Qingxue waited for the servant to run away and then shook her head. He came to visit suddenly without any notice in advance. He just came so suddenly. Qingxue was speechless. He really didn't treat herself as an outsider.
Now, anyone who wants to see the old lady, except her family and a few of her friends, has to send an invitation in advance.
Jiang Muting was stunned when she heard the butler's reply. She had paid her respect with confidence, but in the end she hadn't even entered the door. She saw that the butler's message was very clear to her that the old lady really didn't want to see her.
What do you mean you are tired? That’s just an excuse. It’s the best excuse for not wanting to see anyone.
Jiang Muting endured the cold wind, took another look at the plaque on the gate of the mansion, and finally left unwillingly.
Jiang Mufan saw his stepsister's carriage halfway while chasing after her and heaved a sigh of relief. His stepsister had secretly visited the Zhou Mansion while he was out. The Zhou family had never had a good impression of his stepsister, and the face they had to give was also for the sake of his parents.
She would not rush to see her parents but would still write a visiting card in advance. He really didn't understand where her stepsister got the confidence that the Zhou family would pay attention to her. How big of a face does she have to be to be so confident
Jiang Muting's face turned awkward when she saw her brother, but she managed to hold on, "Alas, the old lady was tired and didn't see him, what a pity."
Jiang Mufan pursed his lips, "You have always disliked me and my sister. You have been scheming all these years. We never ask for your help, and we don't ask you for anything. We just ask you to save some face for me."
The Jiang family doesn’t care now, but what about over time
People always get bored sometimes.
Jiang Muting's face fell, "You can let me save your face, as long as you agree to help me, I will leave immediately."
Do you really think she is willing to support them? God knows how much jealousy she suffers every day. She doesn't like Jiang Mulan. Jiang Mulan, who should have fallen, married into the Jiang family and turned her life around.
Why does Jiang Mulan get the love of her husband and the favor of her mother-in-law? She is an experienced person and she can tell at a glance whether a woman is happy or not. She knows what kind of life Jiang Mulan is living and what kind of life she is living.
After her father lost power, her life became difficult. It was her ability that she was able to keep things stable. Jiang Mulan did not agree to the marriage she arranged, which caused her to lose the housekeeper Quan and also offended people.
Jiang Mufan could see clearly that his eldest sister had resentment in her eyes, and sneered, "Since you are unwilling to show us mercy, I am not afraid of a falling out and will move out of my house."
Having said that, Jiang Mufan turned and left. Human hearts are not easily satisfied. If he and his sister agreed to the threat this time, there would be endless troubles.
Jiang Muting confirmed that she had heard correctly and shouted, "Aren't you afraid that the Jiang family will know that you are ruthless?"
Jiang Mufan waved his hands, not afraid. If he didn't make a decision, the Jiang family would not feel at ease to marry off their daughter. Now that he had said it, he felt particularly relieved.
The next day, Zhulan heard about the Jiang family from her daughter, "Mu Fan kicked the people out?"
Xuemei took an apple and ate it. "Well, Jiang Muting is still unwilling to give up and came to find me. If she didn't have some face left, she might have thrown a tantrum at our door."
Zhulan, "You are becoming more and more casual about eating."
Xuemei took another bite and said, "It's more comfortable to eat this way. I used to eat it in pieces but it wasn't satisfying."
Zhulan thought to herself, you didn’t say that before. The Zhou family was changing fast back then, and my daughter didn’t want to embarrass the family when she came to Beijing, so she kept learning etiquette. But now it seems that I restrained my daughter in the beginning, and she has become more and more casual after going out.
Zhulan smiled and said, "You just have a good attitude. It's good that you get younger and younger as you grow older."
Xuemei touched her face and said, "Mom, you know what, I really haven't changed much in the past two years."
Zhulan agreed with her daughter. Although her skin was a little darker than in the capital, her daughter walked more and was in good health. She maintained a good figure and her eyes were bright. She really hadn't changed much.
Zhu Lan said, "The twins are not young anymore. They have been following you everywhere for years. Now Jiang Du is getting married, and Jiang Miao is also getting married. Do you still want to take them everywhere with you?"
Xuemei said, "Mom, these two kids have been thinking about going abroad. If you don't mention it, they will tell Dad after the New Year."
Zhulan smiled and said, "I was wondering why these two kids kept picking up Changyi from the government office."
Xuemei also smiled, "In their hearts, Second Uncle is the person they admire the most."
From a commoner with nothing to the current fifth rank official, and still holding power in the Ministry of Rites, the person the twins talk about the most is their second uncle.
Zhulan was happy, "Changyi's set is indeed suitable for both of them."
Moreover, these two children really look alike. They looked very similar when they were young. One would think that they would be somewhat different when they grew up, but it turns out that the two children are almost the same height, which makes them even more alike. If you are not familiar with them, you can't tell them apart at all.
As a grandmother, Zhulan has to tell the twins apart for a while when they like to pretend to be each other. These two children are so troublesome that every time they come back from going out, they make the family guess who they are.
Speaking of twins, the Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi brought the twins to the Ministry of Rites for the first time. Although the twins liked coming to the Ministry of Rites to pick him up, not many people saw the twins.
Lord Liu had never seen one. "I've seen twins before, but this is the first time I've seen twins that look so alike."
As he said this, he circled around the twins twice, marveling at them.
Chang Yi, "Don't say it's your first time seeing it, it's the same for me."
Lord Liu put his hands behind his back and said, "If one person wants to do something bad, he can just let the other pretend to be him. If he really wants to cheat people, he can definitely cheat a lot of people."
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may not think so.
The twins love to pretend to be each other. Their family members just feel bad for the two kids, but mostly they just enjoy watching them.
But now Changyi didn't think so. He turned his head and looked at his two nephews carefully, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
This kind of look made the brave twins tremble. Why did their second uncle look at them like that
Chang Yi said to Master Liu cheerfully, "I'll treat you to tea later."
Lord Liu's eyes lit up a little, but he held back and said, "I'll treat you to tea. This time I brought tribute tea."
The smile on Chang Yi's face disappeared instantly, and he looked at Lord Liu with a cold face, "Forget about the marriage."
After Lord Liu mentioned it last time, out of curiosity, he specially asked someone to check it out. It turned out that Lord Liu did not lie. His second son really looked like Lord Liu, and was even better than his father. Bah, he must be crazy to choose such a son-in-law.
The twins stared in amazement at their second uncle's change of expression, but Lord Liu was not angry at all, and smiled cheerfully, "You don't understand my son. Really, my son is very good."
Chang Yi: "Haha."
