When I entered the small courtyard, I rarely entertained guests, and the tea leaves were only the most ordinary broken foam. No matter how much I brewed, I couldn't make good tea. Placing it on the table was purely a courtesy.
Everyone knows that Mrs. Jiang cannot possibly drink the tea here.
But when the tea cup was actually brought in, she actually reached out to take it, used the lid to skim off the floating bits, and took two sips before putting it down.
Seeing a few young people staring intently, Mrs. Jiang smiled calmly, "I just want to taste what the tea my granddaughter drinks every day tastes like."
Jiang Sheng grinned.
The brothers all fell silent.
Especially Zheng Ruqian, who originally thought that his sister had been snatched away and that the Jiang family was hateful, but he didn't expect that there was someone who really loved Jiang Sheng. Although he was shocked, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Love is divided into small love and big love. Small love is bundled around you, while big love lets you go and watch from afar.
If the Jiang family can really treat little Jiang Sheng well, the brothers can grit their teeth and separate from her.
As long as...as long as she behaves well.
Zheng Ruqian sniffed, almost touched by his own greatness. When he turned around and saw Jiang Sheng blinking, he was immediately confused.
"Second brother... brought you... meat porridge." The little girl tried her best to output with her expression.
Zheng Ruqian responded twitchingly, "You... said... what?"
"Meat porridge." Jiang Sheng blinked.
Zheng Ruqian twitched, "What?"
Mrs. Jiang watched from the side and couldn't help laughing, "Jiang Sheng has brought you a large bowl of meat porridge, and Tan Yue is lighting the fire. It will be almost ready now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of rice hit him.
The hungry Zheng Ruqian couldn't bear it anymore. He confessed to Mrs. Jiang and rushed out in a hurry.
Jiang Sheng also bowed to his grandmother and followed her to the door in a polite manner, chasing after her like crazy.
The two brothers and sisters disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan were not hungry, but since their brothers and sisters were gone, they were inevitably ready to make a move.
After all, he is still a child.
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "You should go quickly. Jiang Sheng drank three bowls of the meat porridge specially cooked by the master."
The two young boys both confessed and left.
Only Xu Mo was left sitting firmly in the main hall.
"Why don't you go?" Mrs. Jiang asked curiously.
Xu Mo smiled and said, "I'm still young and can do whatever I want. I bear the responsibility for my eldest brother."
Just like when a guest comes to the family, parents need to treat the guests seriously, but children only need to greet them politely.
They have no parents or elders. As the eldest brother, Xu Mo assumes all responsibilities.
Not greedy, not arrogant, calm and steady, advancing and retreating appropriately.
Not to mention the other fifteen-year-old boys in Fengjing, even those in their twenties, can't even compare to him.
Jiang Sheng's compliments that he had praised countless times rang out at the right time. Mrs. Jiang had to admit that Xu Mo was far more outstanding than any of the Jiang family's children.
At a young age, he has taken the lead several times.
Even if his Huiyuan is taken away, he can still be calm.
The only disadvantage was his lack of background, but it did not knock him down.
If such a son were born into a distinguished family, how would he rise to the top or how would he rise to the top in a smooth manner?
Even if he lives in a poor family, there will be a place for him in Fengjing in the future.
Mrs. Jiang was a little enlightened, and various thoughts flashed through her: Jiang Sheng had such an eldest brother, who might also be a supporter and the key to stability for the rest of his life.
Wealth is not about the present, it is about future generations.
If a family cannot produce outstanding juniors, no matter how much power it has, it will fall...
Mrs. Jiang's thoughts were changing over and over again, so Xu Mo kept company quietly.
It was so quiet in the main hall that you could hear a pindrop, and even the laughter and shouting outside was much clearer.
"They are playing around again, making the old lady laugh." Xu Mo excused his younger siblings, "We grew up together, so it is inevitable that we will become closer."
Mrs. Jiang's expression remained unchanged as she stood up with a cane, "It's okay, I'll go over and take a look."
Xu Mo could only follow behind.
There are two tables for eating when you enter the courtyard, one in the main hall and one in the courtyard.
The main hall was used to entertain guests, and the brothers and sisters sat on the stone benches in the courtyard and tasted the hot meat porridge.
The four children took their places, and Jiang Sheng had extra cushions.
"Second brother, did you bring anything good when you went to Lingnan this time?" The little girl obviously came with a full meal, but now she was holding a bowl and not letting go.
Zheng Ruqian had already bottomed out and went to serve the second bowl, "Of course there are good things, but I won't tell you until I sell them."
"Ah?" Jiang Sheng was greatly disappointed, "Second brother, why don't you give us a taste first?"
Zheng Ruqian held back his laughter and took out a jade bracelet from his arms, "Do you want to taste something? Or do you want a gift?"
The jade ring looks pure white. If you look closely, you will find lint and flaws. The price should not be too expensive, at least the daughter of aristocratic family will not find it rare.
But Jiang Sheng still held it in the palm of his hand as if he had found a treasure, "Second brother is the best. Second brother brings us gifts every time."
Zheng Ruqian laughed and drank the meat porridge in one gulp. When he put the bowl down, he realized that his two younger brothers also started to take a peek.
Well, they are all little brats.
The second brother took out two small jade pendants from his arms and said, "These are for you."
"Thank you, second brother." Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan said in unison.
Zheng Ruqian scratched his head happily, "Not only you, but also the third brother and the eldest brother. The jade in Lingnan is not precious, but the price is quite low. In addition to fruits, I also brought a lot of jade pieces this time, and sold them to the jewelry shop. It’s definitely a profit.”
He has a mixture of shrewdness and simplicity in his rebellious temperament. He can be shrewd and neat, but also has a touch of humanity.
Although his personality is somewhat open-minded and his emotions and sorrows are all on the surface, the more this kind of person is, the more trust he can gain from the people, and his business career will never be difficult.
Mrs. Jiang took a breath of air.
She has been in charge of Youranju for decades and has a sharp vision, and she will never see the wrong person.
The reason why I was shocked was that I didn't expect that besides Xu Mo, there would be a second outstanding son in this small courtyard.
In the yard, Zheng Ruqian and Jiang Sheng didn't know what they said. They suddenly choked and coughed.
Xu Mo took two steps forward nervously.
Wen Zhiyun reacted the fastest, throwing away the bowls and chopsticks, first patted Zheng Ruqian's back, then wiped his mouth and nose, and finally pressed hard along his spine.
Miraculously, Zheng Ruqian stopped coughing and his complexion returned to normal from red.
Chang Yan took out the handkerchief and said in a steady tone, "Sister, please stop teasing your second brother. You will easily choke when eating."
Jiang Sheng on the mat was obedient and obedient, "Fifth brother is right, I will definitely change it in the future."
Chang Yan could only sit back with a smile on his face, not forgetting to pour a glass of water for Zheng Ruqian.
Mrs. Jiang's eyes became brighter and brighter.
It was also at this time that the siblings saw the worried Xu Mo.
Jiang Sheng stood up happily and brought over a full bowl of meat porridge, "Brother, I left this for you."
