Chapter 44: Wang Family Question

Chapter 44 Wang Family Questioning

Jiang Liu agreed with the nurse’s suggestion, but also understood her sister’s unease. In her sister’s heart, the Jiang family is unreliable, and her grandmother and aunts are her closest people except Jiang Liu. It’s not that the nanny can turn it around with just a few words. So Jiang Liu held her sister’s hand and said word by word, “Liu-er-listen-sister-sister-‘s.”

Anyway, the deeds of the shop and the farm are in his hands. If the elder sister doesn’t come back, she will grab it after her tongue is clear. Jiang Liu can’t wait to grow up now, to run his own shop, to show his ambition before crossing and the frustration of the past few months after crossing.

Sister listens to her, who should she listen to? Jiang Muyan was at a loss.

Xiuqiao also said, “This servant is just a reminder to the girl, you still have to make up your own mind about what to do. If the girl doesn’t know what to do, talk less, watch more, think more, and don’t make up your mind when you figure it out. Late.”

That is, there is no need to ask grandma to go back to the shop, Jiang Muyan felt a little relieved.

Seeing the third girl like this, Zhao Xiuqiao understood that these things depended on her sixth girl. I hope the old lady of the Wang family can live a long and healthy life and wait for the sixth girl to grow up.

When the    carriage entered Wang’s house, it was already dark. Jiang Liu, who opened the curtains for driving, couldn’t see the layout of the Wang’s courtyard, but from the door to where his grandmother lived, the Wang’s courtyard must be smaller than the Jiang’s.

When my mother married my father, my grandfather was the minister of the Ministry of Punishment and a high-ranking position in the six departments. Although my grandfather was a Hanlin scholar who was popular with the emperor, he was only a literati who helped the emperor draft edicts and had no real power. In this way, the father who can marry the most beautiful man in the capital is actually a high-level marriage, so the Wang family prepares a generous dowry for their daughter. After all, in this dynasty, the amount of dowry represents a woman’s confidence.

But now that his grandfather is dead, he is still in the name of being disrespectful to the Supreme Emperor, and the eldest Bo Ding worry is about to expire but his career is hopeless. On the other hand, in the Wang family, the eldest uncle served as a secretary in the Imperial College, and the second uncle was the head of the most famous private academy in the capital, Qingjin Academy, so now the positions have changed, and the Jiang family is not as good as the Wang family.

Jiang Liu considered from the position of the Wang family. Do they think that this daughter has lost the dowry and want to take back the dowry to reduce the loss?

“Old lady, the cousin girls are here.”

The happy and crisp voice of the maid interrupted Jiang Liu’s contemplation. She was carried off the carriage by the nurse and entered the warm and bright main room.

The first impression this house gave Jiang was that it was indeed a scholar! Unlike Jiang’s family of ancient bookshelves or screens as indoor partitions, here are high four-tiered bookshelves filled with books of different thicknesses and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which can be described as fragrant of ink.

Jiang Liu and his sister bowed to their grandmother, then to their aunt, and then greeted each other with their two cousins, one cousin, and three cousins. The little sisters were called by the grandmother to tell them to warm and eat.

Like the Jiang family, the Wang family meals are divided into male and female tables. Unlike the Wang family, the Wang family abides by the rule of not talking or sleeping, and there is no sound when eating. Jiang Liu felt that the advantage of this rule was that she could concentrate on eating and not be distracted by the care and inquiries of the elders.

After her sister filled her with a bowl of her favorite dishes, Jiang Liu held the steamed bun in one hand and the spoon in the other, and began to eat slowly. Before she could take two bites, there was a noise in the house.

“his-”

The quick-tempered aunt Kong was gasping for breath when she saw that her niece was holding a spoon and didn’t put the vegetables in her mouth for a long time.

“what-”

When Jiang Liu finally put the vegetable in his mouth, Wang Youying, the eldest cousin who was as impatient as her mother, let out a long sigh.

This is really unruly. Mrs. Wang raised her eyelids and glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter. The two immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Jiang Liu again, because they were afraid that they could not hold back and shoved a bowl of vegetables into her mouth.

Xiao Jiangliu, who was eating slowly, pretended not to understand anything, and ate with a smile. The always noisy granddaughter suddenly became so quiet and disciplined, which caused Madam Wang to take a few more glances. When she saw it, she was shocked to realize that the little granddaughter’s appearance was more delicate than Yan’er, and she would definitely be famous in the capital when she grew up.

It’s a pity that the Jiang family was defeated, otherwise Liu’er’s appearance would have led to him entering the palace.

After the meal, the leftovers were removed, and Mrs. Wang called Jiang Liu, “Liu’er, come here and talk to grandma.”

“Sister Yan’er, I have something good to show you!” The eldest cousin grabbed Jiang Muyan.

Seeing that they were about to separate themselves from their elder sister, Jiang Liu reached out and grabbed her elder sister’s little hand, with a timid voice, “Sister.”

My sister rarely came to my grandmother’s house, she was afraid. Jiang Muyan clenched her little sister’s hand tightly and declined the invitation of the eldest cousin, “Eldest cousin, Yan’er will accompany grandma first, and I will go to find you later.”

Mrs. Wang waved, “You all go, Yan’er and Liu’er stay and sleep with grandma tonight.”

Aunt Kong hurriedly said, “You Ying takes your younger brothers back first, and your mother will bring your sister Yan’er back to find you to play with. At this time, Tunan should be sleepy, and younger siblings also take the children back to rest. Bar.”

Wang Tunan, the Sabbath of the Wang family, is five years old this year and is the concubine of the second uncle. Since the second aunt, Mrs. Meng, only had two daughters, Mrs. Meng took the concubine to the main room and raised them personally. Seeing that her mother-in-law didn’t say a word, Mrs. Meng took her two daughters and concubine to retire first, and Wang Youying from the big room and her younger brothers Wang Tuyuan and Erlang Wang Tuzhan also withdrew.

After everyone left, Mrs. Wang spoke again to chase her eldest daughter-in-law, “You can go too.”

“My daughter-in-law is gone, no one will bring tea and water. Besides, my daughter-in-law really misses my two nieces and wants to pay more attention to them.” Kong shi refused to leave, and went forward to hug Jiang Liu and rubbed hard. “Mother, looking at Liu’er’s small appearance, she’s really becoming more and more outstanding!”

Auntie’s palms were sweaty, and there was an indescribable smell of fat powder. Jiang Liu didn’t like it very much, and wrinkled her face aggrievedly, “It hurts.”

“Oh, this little Jiaojiao!” Kong Shi let go of her hand and sat down.

Jiang Liu, who returned to her sister, thought her grandmother would drive away her aunt, but she tacitly agreed that her aunt stayed. Because of this, Jiang Liu had to reassess his aunt’s status in the Wang family.

Mrs. Wang let her two granddaughters sit on either side of her before asking Jiang Liu, “Liu’er, did you see your mother at Foxiang Pavilion the day before yesterday?”

Jiang Muyan lowered her head, Jiang Liu nodded vigorously, “En.”

Mrs. Wang clenched her granddaughter’s shoulders excitedly, her voice trembling, “How does your mother look, what did she say to you?”

Jiang Liu whispered, “No-said.”

“Liu’er, what is your mother wearing?” Kong shi didn’t believe that Jiang Liu could see ghosts in broad daylight, especially in places like Foxiang Pavilion.

No one really told her about this. Jiang Liuben wanted to say white, but when she saw that the nanny was secretly binding the book with her fingertips, she said, “Blue-color.”

“What are you referring to, get out!” Mrs Kong shouted sharply when she saw Nanny Jiang Liu’s small movements.
