Chapter 129 (1/2)
Jiang Ruan stayed in Jiang's mansion for only a few days. This morning, he saw his second aunt for the first time.
The second aunt has been banned by Jiang Quan since Jiang Li's death. Now, it's a bit surprising to be released. What's more surprising is that when the second aunt came out again, she seemed to be a different person. She was very low browed and careful. She was still arrogant and domineering in the past. People in the mansion said that it must be the second aunt who knew that Jiang Li was dead now. She had to be careful to live in Jiang's mansion. Today is different from the past. Xia Yan, a gentle and virtuous Xia Yan, a domineering, beautiful and mean Er Yi Niang all lost their power. At the moment, it's Hongying, the fifth aunt from the land of fireworks, who is in charge of the house. Now Hongying is in full swing. I'm afraid that things will change in Jiang's house.
Jiang Ruan had met his second aunt in the garden before. She was very obedient, but she looked strange. Back to Ruan Curie, forsythia said: ”girl, the second aunt looks strange, and her eyes seem to annoy the girl.”
Jiang Ruan pondered a little, and called dewdrop: ”do you know who my second aunt had seen before she lifted her house arrest, and what's special recently?”
The dewdrop was ordered to leave.
Jiang Ruan dropped her eyes, and the second aunt looked at her eyes. She could not be more familiar with that kind of eyes. It was a deep hatred, a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, a sharp arrow lurking in the dark, full of the flavor of conspiracy.
She wanted to see what the second aunt wanted to do.
Dewdrop is now Jiang Ruan's personal servant girl. All the servants in the house know that she is valued by Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan is Princess Hong'an. The servants in the house are more polite to dewdrop than before. Dewdrop quickly inquired about the news and came back. It was Jiang Dan who had met the second aunt. These days, the second aunt has been very careful and polite in the house. She is more obedient to Jiang Quan and generous to her servants. Although the second aunt's family is well-off, she is a commoner girl. She is as shallow as Jiang Li, so she is not willing to reward her servants like this. But these days, I've been bountiful. The dew bead finished saying, eyes Ba Ba way: ”girl, two aunt this exactly is what meaning?”
Tianzhu is also strange. She is used to killing people, but she is not used to the winding of the house. Forsythia and Angelica are some suspicious, forsythia way: ”girl, these days can be careful, two aunt temperament has always been arrogant, now suddenly so low, it is a bit strange.”
”I see.” Jiang Ruan stood up and said, ”since the fourth sister is so enthusiastic, you might as well find something to do with her.” She squinted, tone suddenly out of a cold: ”Jin two Jin three.”
Two dark Wei suddenly appear in the room, pour to frighten a few servant girls to jump. Jiang Ruan knew that since Xiao Shao had sent them, they were hiding in the dark to protect her. She said: ”Tianzhu is from the government. It's not convenient to go out. When you go to the doctor's office, I'd like to ask for your help. ”
Jin two Jin three look at each other and say in unison: ”but listen to the girl's command.”
……
But it is said that Jiang Li's family is all in a shadow because of Jiang Li's death. The collapse of the former bustling langzhongfu is obvious now. Jiang Quan's official career was prosperous a few years ago, but now it is more and more unlucky, and his relationship with xiahoufu is also alienated. Several children are a headache, the only two outstanding, but the original house is the most spoiled people.
Mr. Jiang's body is very weak, because of Jiang Li's death is a serious illness, the doctor came to see, secretly revealed some of Mr. Jiang's life but this year's meaning. No matter how old you are, no matter how many elixirs you have, you can't help. In some ways, Mr. Jiang is a wise man, so he knows that the huge Jiang mansion will soon be on the road of decline. He is worried too much and makes things worse. He looks old day by day, which is different from the smart and dignified old woman he saw when he returned to the mansion .
On this day, Du Juan came to invite Jiang Ruan to sit in Guilan courtyard at the command of old lady Jiang. These days old lady Jiang always called some granddaughters to sit in the house. There was no reason for Mr. Jiang's invitation to refuse. Jiang Ruan with forsythia and Angelica go, on the road is met back to Jiang Dan.
Seeing Jiang Ruan, Jiang Dan stopped and said with a smile, ”big sister.”
”Four younger sisters.” Jiang Ruan said.
Jiang Dan did not look aggrieved when he saw her cold attitude. Instead, he was in a good mood and asked, ”is elder sister going to grandma's yard?”
When Jiang Ruan nodded, Jiang Dan said with a smile, ”grandma is looking at her big sister now. She is really enviable.”
Envy? Jiang Ruan smile: ”four younger sister why envy, four younger sister in the future than I must be more valued.”
Jiang Dan was stunned and his eyes flashed. When he looked at Jiang Ruan again, he said with profound meaning: ”elder sister is used to talking and laughing. It's getting late. Elder sister, you'd better go as soon as possible. If the time is delayed, grandma will punish Danniang again. ”
Jiang Dan stood in the same place, looking at Jiang Ruan's back, slowly showing a happy smile.
……。
In the Guilan courtyard, the colorful sparrow and the cuckoo stand on both sides of Mrs. Jiang, gently shaking the fan for her. The fan is just right, and the cool wind blows slightly. It's hard for Mr. Jiang to show a comfortable expression. She is too old to use ice for fear of cold.When Jiang Ruan went in, he saw this scene. Old man Jiang looked tired. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was white. When he heard the news, he opened his eyes slightly and his eyes were cloudy.
She was not the hostess who called the wind and rain in Chiang's mansion, but an old man.
”Girl Ruan is here. Come to grandma.” Mrs. Jiang waved to her lovingly.
In the past and this life, Mr. Jiang had never been so kind to her. Although Mr. Jiang had never embarrassed her in the last life, some of Xia Yan's actions with Jiang Quan were also acquiesced by her. For Mrs. Jiang, the honor of Jiang's office is greater than everything else. As long as it can make Jiang's office prosperous, what is the sacrifice of a Jiang Ruan.
In the last life, Mr. Jiang did not survive the winter this year. It should be that after she entered the palace, she began to linger in the autumn and became thinner. At the end of the new year, she drove to the West. Now it's only a few months.
Jiang Ruan went up to old lady Jiang Yiyan and sat down. Caique poured tea for Jiang Ruan. The old man patted Jiang Ruan's hand and said, ”girl Ruan, this is the new Baixiang hawthorn tea this year. Ladies in the palace often drink it. You young girls like to drink sweet tea and have a taste of it.”
With a smile, Jiang Ruan moistened his mouth with the tea on the table and said, ”it's very sweet.”
Mrs. Jiang was more satisfied with her smile and told caique, ”caique, clean up some for Ruan girl and send them to her.” She turned to look at Jiang Ruan. Her eyes were like a loving grandmother looking at her granddaughter: ”in a twinkling of an eye, Ruan girl was so big. She thought that when she was just born, she was a little girl.”
For no reason, Jiang Ruan would not mention this. Jiang Ruan only listened with a smile. The old lady said, ”your mother is not lucky. She left your brother and sister early. At the beginning, Xia Yan was so mean that you were wronged. Over the years, your father was so soft that you suffered a lot. In a word, Jiang's family is sorry for you. ”
caique went to pack tea for Jiang Ruan, and only Dujuan stood aside in silence. Angelica dahurica and forsythia look slightly moving, only Jiang Ruan does not move like a mountain, the spirit of love has not changed, quietly listen to Jiang old man this look quite regretful words. Seeing her like this, Mr. Jiang's face faltered, but he didn't know. He took her by the hand and said, ”fortunately, your brother and sister are very lucky. They have been lucky since they came back to the mansion. The ancestors who want to come to the mansion also bless you in the morning.”
Jiang Ruan's lips curled slightly. The meaning of these words was that the fate of their brothers and sisters could not be achieved by the Chiang family?
Mr. Jiang said: ”you are all the children of Jiang's family. You should support each other. My grandmother will live for a few days. I hope your sisters and brothers will love each other. It was your father who was sorry for you. Now my grandmother has locked up the bad woman. Let's not talk about the past. Now that the Chiang family is well, you will have a good face in the future, won't you? ” She muttered: ”your elder brother is an official in the imperial court, and you also need your brother to help you. Your future marriage depends on your family. Grandma knows you are a good friend. She helps them a lot on weekdays, and she will take care of them in the future. ”
