Jiang Sheng slept until dark.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a strange canopy bed with a pink gauze hanging on it. It looked good, but I had never seen it before.
She jumped up in excitement, startling the little maid next to her.
"Girl, you're awake." The little maid stood up nervously, "Girl, do you want to drink water? Are you hungry? Do you want anything to eat tonight? Do you want to wear new clothes?"
Jiang Sheng was stunned. It was the first time he saw someone who was more secretive than himself.
"Girl, why don't you say anything?" The little maid became even more nervous. "Girl, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to call the doctor?"
House doctor, as the name suggests, is a doctor maintained in the house.
Only then did Jiang Sheng remember that she was in the Jiang family. Although she had mutton and beef to eat and a kind and loving grandmother, she still felt empty in her heart.
Especially when she glanced out the window, she couldn't help but wonder whether her brothers had eaten, whether the eldest brother was burning the midnight oil again to read, whether the fourth brother was drying herbs again, and whether the fifth brother was idle again.
But there is no way to know.
The little maid came over with a new set of clothes and said, "Girl, this outfit looks great. Can you wear this outfit?"
Jiang Sheng nodded boredly and let the little maid figure out how to tidy up her hair, even putting on a new bun.
After finally finishing everything, she walked out of the bedroom and unexpectedly saw the swing swaying in the wind in the yard.
Sure enough, it was in Yunqi Pavilion.
Jiang Sheng wanted to sit on it and hang out for a while, but suddenly she heard some noise following the wind. Her eyes fell on the nearest Deren Academy and she ran over decisively.
The Jiang family is very big and the night is very dark.
The little maid chased after her closely and finally stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Just as she was about to speak, she was covered by Jiang Sheng.
Their eyes fell on the brightly lit Naruhito-in Temple at the same time.
There stood everyone from the Jiang family.
The deceased old General Jiang had two sons, one legitimate son and one concubine. The legitimate son is General Jiang, who is currently guarding the border in the northwest. His wife and children live in the east courtyard with the old lady.
The concubine is Jiang Jizong, a tall and tall civil servant who currently works in the Hanlin Academy and lives in the west with his children and his wife.
There is not much overlap between the two houses, but the literary and military complement each other, establishing the Jiang family's transcendent status in Fengjing.
Normally outside, Jiang Jizong, his two ladies, and the young masters and young ladies are all aloof, noble and proud.
But at this moment, in front of Mrs. Jiang, they all lowered their heads and listened carefully to the instructions.
"I don't see anyone busy on weekdays, but today I don't see anyone. Is it sincere or intentional?"
"What does blood and family ties mean to you? Is it not even comparable to the passers-by you pass by?"
"There is so much information in the whole yard, why did it fail today? Or do you still look down on the people my old lady has found?"
These words were a bit serious, and everyone in the Jiang family was shocked.
Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang Chengyuan looked at each other in confusion.
Jiang Jizong had already taken a step forward, bowed and said, "Mom, please calm down. It was really the Hanlin Academy that delayed its steps today. It's wrong. It's just... what did mother just mean, was my daughter back?"
As expected of a civil servant in the previous dynasty, he could always accurately extract the key points.
Jiang Chengyuan and Jiang Chengfeng were both surprised and happy. Jiang Chengyu couldn't help opening his mouth, but Mrs. Jiang grabbed her hard and swallowed it back.
Mrs. Jiang is not a person who loses her temper randomly.
Jiang Jizong was busy with official duties, his two grandchildren were in the Imperial College, and his mother-in-law went on an outing again. It was understandable that she didn't know the situation at home.
The only person who could really know the news immediately but never showed up was her good sister-in-law, Jiang Liao from the East Courtyard.
Madam Jiang was always powerful and shrewd in her actions.
Facing the concubine's inquiry, she said calmly, "I came back today."
Jiang Jizong smiled slightly. Jiang Chengyuan and Jiang Chengfeng were already excited. Jiang Chengyu also looked back and forth, "Where is he?"
But Mrs. Jiang, who was truly connected by blood to Jiang Sheng, just stood there silently, without saying a word.
Mrs. Jiang endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but say, "Ms. Liao, why don't you ask where your daughter is?"
This is already a quite rude name.
Jiang Liao's expression paused slightly, and she glanced at Jiang Chenghuan to make sure she was standing steadily before saying softly, "Of course I have to ask, Chenghuan also burned her hand today, and my daughter-in-law really can't spare the time..."
This was such nonsense that even the second lady couldn't bear to listen and rolled her eyes where no one was watching.
Mrs. Jiang even suppressed her anger, "Then how did you find time tonight? Could it be that the burn is already intact?"
"Of course it's not good." Jiang Liao said softly, "Chenghuan is weak, and she asked her mother to allow her daughter-in-law to take her back to rest so as not to get sick again."
Open your mouth to accept pleasure, close your mouth to accept pleasure.
Jiang Sheng was never mentioned.
Even Jiang Chengyuan was a little confused and turned around to look, "Mother, Chenghuan is weak and can be helped back by the maid first. When Jiang Sheng comes back today, she must be taken care of first."
"Yes, yes." Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang Chengyu's brother and sister agreed in unison.
This is probably the most harmonious they've ever been.
Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting in her seat, lowered her eyes and looked at the Jiang family members expressionlessly.
"I..." Mrs. Jiang Liao was speechless after being asked, and after a long while she said, "Of course I have to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but things have to come first. I will send Chenghuan back first, and then I can pick up the wind and wash the dust for her." .”
"That's right, Madam has to go back to get the girl's meeting gift." The eldest maid commented beside her.
Jiang Chengyuan did not doubt that he was there and turned back happily, planning what to give his sister.
In the past, he had to be careful about throwing away land deeds because of his grandmother's words. Now that his sister is back home, he has to take it freely.
Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang Chengyu, one on the left and the other on the right, followed up with suggestions.
"In addition to the land deed, I also have one hundred taels of gold and the knife given by my grandfather..."
"Brother, you have something wrong with your brain. Who gives you a knife as a gift when you meet..."
"It would be better to give gold as a gift than to exchange it for noodles."
The three of them were murmuring, which was quite lively.
Jiang Chenghuan stared blankly in the corner, feeling sad and lost, but he could only turn his eyes red in the absence of people.
Fortunately, there was Jiang Liao who took her cold and thin hand and whispered, "Chenghuan, go back."
Jiang Chenghuan stood up stupidly, turned around stupidly, walked to the door, and suddenly paused.
It's Jiang Liao.
She took her adopted daughter's hand and called out, "Chengyuan, Chengyuan, please come here."
The confused eldest son came over.
"Recently, my dowry shop has had some problems." Jiang Liao said calmly, "Your sister is not in good health, and she can hardly afford the nutrients she needs. Your grandmother has always been in the hands of her middle child, but I am... I can’t even get a greeting gift.”
Jiang Chenghuan was a little surprised.
Jiang Chengyuan was happy, "Then I will give one hundred taels of gold to my mother and the land deed to Jiang Sheng."
"Just give it to her?" Jiang Liao said coldly, "Chenghuan is also your sister. Don't forget that treating everyone equally is your promise."
