Chapter 254 (1/2)
Yang was surprised and said, ”didn't you say to keep a distance this morning so that there would be no one inside and outside?”
Aunt Jiang said with a smile, ”I'm just going to thank you. What are you afraid of? It's just a courtesy. Naturally, I'll stay away from you in the future.”
Yang sighed, ”why stay away? You shouldn't be far away if you should be far away. Alas! Now you've become so strange that I don't know what to say about you.”
”Don't worry, sister. I have my own ideas.” aunt Jiang smiled bitterly and said secretly, how can you understand the tangles and fears in my heart? Alas! Sure enough, it's hard to be confused. How much terror does a somewhat smart person have just because he has seen through some things? The old people are right to say that they are frightened by the world of mortals.
Just these words can't be said to people. In the afternoon, aunt Jiang expected Su wennuan to take a nap. It was time to wake up, so she dressed up and came to Chunfeng garden. When she arrived in the hospital, she was seeing Duan Tingxuan and Su wennuan teasing the Wren in the cage under the corridor. Seeing her coming, Su wennuan smiled and said, ”the sun is big. How did you come?”
Aunt Jiang quickly straightened and saluted, and did not look at Duan Tingxuan. After so many things, she had already seen through her master's mind, so the thoughts of looking forward to grace were almost gone. Now she just wants to keep her son and live in peace in this big house. Unfortunately, even this wish is just extravagant.
”OK, you come in and talk. I'll go to the study...” Duan Tingxuan didn't want to get involved in the women's topic. He was about to leave. He heard Siping's voice outside: ”Sir, the prince is coming. He's in the master's study. The master asked you to hurry.”
”My God.” Duan Tingxuan patted his forehead and whispered, ”didn't the second prince tell him to jump over the wall tomorrow? Why did he come in person? Do you still look like a prince?”
As he spoke, he hurried away. Here, aunt Jiang smiled and said, ”Grandma's craftsmanship is really great. Even the crown prince came here in person just to taste the Buddha jumping over the wall. I'm afraid there are no other women in the world who can have this influence on the crown prince except the Empress Dowager and grandma.”
”The prince doesn't know how to cut down a few kilograms of meat. He even thinks about Buddha jumping off the wall. I really don't know what to say about him.” Su wennuan patted off the bird food in his hand. When I entered the room with aunt Jiang, she smiled and said, ”what's this? Everyone has it. Will I go over you? Don't say I like brother Chuan very much, but I don't like it. The truth and human feelings are here.”
While talking, she asked Honglian to bring the purse from the drawer in the inner room. She took the purse, opened it, took out ten pearls, handed it to Aunt Jiang and said: ”This was accidentally obtained in Liaodong, with a total of more than 200. I paid tribute to the old lady and sent some people. There is not much left in my hand. You come here sincerely today. Even those who see have a share, and those who don't come, I'm too lazy to climb the relationship.”
Ten pearls were nothing, but aunt Jiang naturally had eyesight. She was surprised at one look and said, ”this is not an ordinary pearl. It looks like the east pearl on the other side of the Wusuli River. Hepu pearl is not as round and huge as it. How can this make it? It's too valuable.”
Su wennuan said with a smile, ”don't say it like you haven't seen the world. This is Dongzhu. Yes, in fact, if it's worth it. It's a little inferior to Hepu beads. You can see whether it's made with other beads, or just hand strings, or rings and Earrings. It's up to you.”
”The maidservant and concubine thanked grandma.” aunt Jiang quickly stood up and thanked again. After a while, she bowed her head and began to meditate. Su wennuan wondered at her appearance, because she smiled and said, ”why? You came here specially, do you have something to say?”
”Nothing's wrong. I heard a story the other day. So I feel sad. After thinking about it for a long time, I simply don't know how to do it. Grandma has always been smart and has ideas, so I want to ask grandma for advice.”
”Oh?” Su wennuan became interested and thought it was new. I don't know what happened, but it baffled the woman who was desperate and could spare everything. The most important thing is: Why did she ask me for advice? Why didn't she ask her grandma Yun? Ten Dongzhu wouldn't let her turn against each other?
While thinking, aunt Jiang said sadly, ”a woman married to a rich family with her master, and later was accepted by their master as a member of the house...”
This is clearly aunt Jiang's story. Su wennuan wondered why she wanted to say this at first. Later, her face became more and more dignified. When she heard that a grandmother had tried to harm the woman's children, although she failed. Then the woman fell into distress and didn't know what to do. She couldn't help holding her hand tightly.
