The Jiang family's mother and daughter expressed a great welcome to the arrival of Ruan's Geng Xingshuang and his entourage. They had a sumptuous lunch at the Jiang family. Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen were also left to take a nap and eat snacks by Jiang Xuefu. .
Then Jiang Xuefu also told Geng Xingshuang the possible cause of the carriage accident that day that Jiang Lianbu asked.
"My elder brother has analyzed it and found that there is probably something wrong with your coachman. He must be trying to harm you. Sister Shuang and Sister Chen, do you want me to go talk to Aunt Ruan and Aunt Jiang? This coachman must not be allowed to stay. By the way, he didn’t drive you here today, right?”
Jiang Xuefu was very worried.
Geng Xingshuang told Jiang Xuefu the news of the past two days about the loss of control of the carriage that day. This was indeed a family scandal of the uncle's house. According to common sense, it should not be spread outside.
But Geng Xingshuang didn't think so. Not only was Jiang Xuefu directly involved in this matter, she was also the savior of her and Seventh Sister. Without her, it would be hard to say what situation she would be facing now. Besides, if Ma After three moves, Geng Xingshuang had a clear witness. She really supported the reporting officer. Since she could even report to the reporting officer, why couldn't she tell Jiang Xuefu.
Although Geng Xingchen knew that her second uncle and grandmother had done this, she didn't know the inside story. After all, it had only been two days since it happened, and Geng Xingshuang herself only got the news from Li's mother yesterday, and she didn't have time to tell Geng The stars.
"Second uncle is so bad! Grandma...she...she is really old and confused."
Geng Xingchen's face turned red with anger. After saying this, he seemed to feel that it was not enough. After thinking about it, he added another sentence to vent his anger.
"My grandfather only cares about his own comfort, and wants to hold on to the title of uncle until he is old... to... But with how much trouble my grandmother and second uncle are doing, I don't know how long he can hold the title of uncle!"
The word "death" was not uttered at all.
Even Geng Xingchen could think of things, but An Pingbo, who had been in officialdom for decades, did not think of it. Maybe he had thought of it, but he was just taking a chance. Fourteen years ago, just because he injured a leg, He had to ask the new emperor to resign himself, but Emperor Shengning, who was still the new emperor at the time, agreed with little effort, which is understandable.
"Sister Jiang, what are you thinking about?"
Geng Xingshuang couldn't help but ask when she saw Jiang Xuefu, who had been silent since listening to her story, and looked as if she was thinking about something.
"What does Mr. Geng look like?"
"ah?"
Geng Xingchen looked doubtful.
Geng Xingshuang stared at Jiang Xuefu, "Sister Jiang, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing? I'm just curious, what does such a bad person look like?"
Speaking of this, Geng Xingchen had something to say.
"My second uncle looks quite elegant, like my grandmother, not like my father. He looks like my grandfather, not very good-looking. Fortunately, I don't look like my father. I look like my mother, but my third, fourth and fifth sisters are all He's pretty good, none of them look like my grandfather. Hey, now that I think about it, the third sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister don't all look like my second uncle. They should all look like their mother."
The seven Geng sisters, including the eldest sister and the second sister who are already married, all have good looks, which can be considered very good-looking. After all, not everyone is good-looking, whether it is their father or their mother.
For example, the second aunt Yao has a very ordinary appearance. Although she does not get much sunlight all year round, her skin is not fair and she has a square face and a broad nose. However, her daughter Geng Xingbing is very good-looking.
As her thoughts drifted here following Geng Xingchen's words, Geng Xingshuang had a flash of inspiration in her heart, but when she carefully captured it, she couldn't capture anything.
Before leaving, Geng Xingshuang asked for the measurements of Jiang Xuefu and her mother Wang, and prepared to make clothes for them.
In the end, Mrs. Wang returned a lot of gifts, but Mrs. Ruan and Mrs. Jiang accepted half of them despite pushing and blocking them. Otherwise, Mrs. Wang would hold them back and not let them go, saying that they would save them for dinner and rest at home after the curfew. .
"This is too polite. How can you give a gift like this?"
As soon as they got on the carriage, Ms. Jiang said with a smile that the gifts received today were actually more than the gifts given out.
Ruan sighed: "Parents care about their children and are willing to give everything they can."
Because it was still early, they went to Chaoxing Street again on the way back. Geng Xingshuang took her mother to see the preparations for Mingshang Pavilion.
When Mrs. Jiang saw that Mingshang Pavilion was actually a two-story building with a backyard, her eyes were full of envy.
Regarding her daughter's need to supply embroidered shoes for Mingshang Pavilion, her attitude was a little more relaxed.
If my daughter can earn such a shop, even if her marriage to the Marquis of Yongqing fails, and they have a two-story shop for their dowry, the couple can find a way to add more, and they can find a good family.
While Ruan and others were looking at the shop, Geng Xingshuang made an excuse to go to Yannian Hall and asked Xu Lianyang to check her pulse.
"The pulse is stable, nothing serious. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xu Lianyang put down his hand and looked at Geng Xingshuang's face intently.
Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well at night. Sister Xu, please do your business. My mother and the others are still waiting for me over there and will come to play with you another day."
Seeing that there were still people waiting to see a doctor, Geng Xingshuang stopped disturbing Xu Lianyang and left after saying a few words.
After returning from Mingshang Pavilion, Hua Lian handed her a post.
"Miss Zhu asked Xiaofeng to send it to her. Xiaofeng said that Miss Zhu heard about what happened to the girl at the Yang family and was originally going to come today. However, because her uncle's cousin had a birthday today, she had already said Okay, I want to attend her birthday party, so I resisted not coming and said I would definitely come tomorrow."
Geng Xingshuang looked at the post in his hand. There were only nine words on it.
"I'll come over tomorrow. Wait for me at home."
Geng Xingshuang laughed. Zhu Yan always came to her whenever she wanted, and usually didn't send a message. She was also surprised why she sent a message this time. It turned out to be because she was afraid that she would not be in the house and her trip would be in vain.
Not enough. From the short nine words in this post, Geng Xingshuang could see Zhu Yan's eagerness.
On the second day, Zhu Yan came early in the morning.
Geng Xingshuang personally went to the Chuihua Gate to pick up someone, and happened to meet Geng Cheng who was about to go to the Yamen. You can imagine how early Zhu Yan came.
When Geng Cheng was preparing to go out yesterday, he discovered that the two carriages at home were both used by the first and third bedrooms. When he wanted to go out, he had to go to the carriage and horse dealership to hire a carriage. Because of the Ma San incident, he could only endure it for the time being. .
"Sister Shuang, where are you going this early in the morning? Go to pay your respects to your grandmother. At this time, your grandmother should not have gotten up yet. You are still young. You can sleep a little longer on weekdays and don't have to get up so early."
Seeing Geng Xingshuang, Geng Cheng smiled and said to her what elders should say, very gently.
"Second uncle!"
Geng Xingshuang blessed him and did not respond to what he just said.
Just as Geng Cheng was about to say something else, Geng Xingshuang's eyes lit up, he showed a bright smile, and waved forward.
"Sister Yan!"
Geng Cheng looked forward and saw a gorgeous carriage parked outside the hanging flower door. The carriage was pulled by two tall and strong white horses. The two white horses' coats were evenly colored without a trace of color. They looked like good horses at first glance and were worth a lot of money. .
