Chapter 218: Entering the Ancestral Hall Again
The father and daughter are making trouble here, those mothers-in-law want to pull Xia Zhu and Xiling down to question, Jiang Wanxiu stopped them, and between the pulls, Jiang Wanxiu was also injured.
Several mothers-in-law are very strong, even if Jiang Wanxiu has martial arts, she can't do it in front of the old lady and her father, so she can only be very stubborn and not let them pull the two away.
was making a fuss, and several mothers-in-law felt that someone was pushing behind them, and the voice of the maid came from behind: "Young Master Xiyang is here." ”
Cousin? Jiang Wanxiu's heart moved, why did he come here at this time?
"Yang'er, why are you here?" Originally, the old lady just watched this farce and didn't say anything, but when she saw Jiang Xiyang coming, she couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Jiang Chao's heart is also the same as the old lady's thoughts, after all, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and there is such a big thing in the Jiang family, he naturally hopes that fewer people will know about it, and Jiang Xiyang happened to come over at this time.
I didn't see it, so I had to frown and say, "Invite him to sit in the hall, and I'll change my clothes and go." ”
"Uncle, the little nephew is not an outsider, so there is no need to be so polite." It turned out that this person saw that it was Jiang Xiyang, so he directly brought him here to spread the word.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiyang said: "I wanted to come to ask my grandmother and uncle for peace, but when I heard that something like this happened at home, I rushed here. ”
Hearing this, the old lady's cold face softened a little, and she said to Jiang Chao: "Okay, what does it look like, even if you value Mo'er again, but Mo'er is just a concubine, and if you punish your own wife and concubine for the sake of a concubine, if it spreads, the reputation of our Jiang family will be gone." ”
The words concubine and wife and concubine were like a thorn in the bodies of Su Lan and Jiang Wanwen, and sure enough, Jiang was still the old spicy, and the old lady's words made the two of them speechless for a while.
Jiang Chao saw that the old lady had spoken, and in front of everyone, it was not easy to disobey the old lady's wishes, but thinking that the son he had been looking forward to for so long was gone like this, he still said a little unfairly: "Mother, is that Mo'er over there?" ”
"Now that Mo'er is unconscious, she can't find out who caused it, so it's better to wait until she wake......s up."
The old lady also knew that if Jiang Wanxiu was not punished, she would not have an explanation for Xia Hanmo.
"The old lady is now in a coma for our aunt, and even the doctor said that he doesn't know when she will wake up, and the aunt has suffered such a big grievance, the old lady can't help but be the master of our aunt."
Seeing the old lady speaking for Jiang Wanxiu, Xiao Lu knelt on the ground at the moment, and said with a handful of snot and tears, looking like a loyal lord.
"That'...... Just kneel in the ancestral hall and wait for Mo'er to wake up. Jiang Chao took a step back and said hesitantly.
Immediately after, the old lady looked at Jiang Wanxiu and asked. "Wan Xiu, after all, this matter started because of you, how about not punishing your mother and the people around you, and punishing you to kneel in the ancestral hall and wait for the third aunt to wake up?"
Now this situation is very unfavorable to her, as long as she doesn't move her mother, doesn't move the spirit and Xia Zhu, Jiang Wanxiu naturally feels that it doesn't matter.
Jiang Wanxiu also understood what the old lady meant, this time it was just a small punishment and a big admonition.
Waiting for Xia Hanmo to wake up, she knelt and knelt down, and really investigated it, Jiang Chao's anger will not go down and listen to others provoke, and at that time, I have never heard of any official eunuch family treating a concubine for a concubine, this matter is mostly a big matter and a small matter.
In the final analysis, this decision, the old lady is still towards her.
However, Jiang Wanxiu was still uncomfortable in her heart, and she actually wanted to implicate her mother.
Frowning, facing the smug gaze of Sulan's mother and daughter, Jiang Wanxiu still said aggrievedly: "Wanxiu is willing to ......"
In the next second, I saw Zhang Xiyue hugging Jiang Wanxiu and said angrily: "I don't agree." ”
Seeing Zhang Xiyue stirring up the situation, Jiang Chao's tone was not very good, and he frowned and asked, "What else do you want?" ”
Listening to Jiang Chao's slightly impatient tone, Zhang Xiyue's face turned pale, and she still said: "Wan Xiu is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and that Xia Hanmo is just a concubine. ”
In the face of Zhang Xiyue's aggressive momentum, Jiang Chao was angry, Zhang Xiyue has always given him face in front of outsiders, and he doesn't know what is going on today, so he openly argues with him.
When the words fell, Zhang Xiyue reached out and stroked the red mark on Jiang Wanxiu's face and said distressedly: "Wanxiu, my poor daughter, it's not good for her mother, and she can't protect you." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu felt bitter in her heart, how could she not know the pain in her mother's heart, and then comforted: "Mother is fine, in the future, Wanxiu will protect her mother, just listen to her father in this matter, and her mother should not argue anymore." ”
As the saying goes, it is the husband's work to be able to bend and stretch, and she will naturally not give up on this matter!
Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Jiang Wanxiu to be locked up in the ancestral hall, but the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall was naturally exempted, and Jiang Wanxiu was just locked up in the ancestral hall to think about the past.
However, the maid who punished her in the ancestral hall, knowing that the old lady still cared about the eldest lady, added several layers of quilts to the cold ancestral hall, for fear of freezing Jiang Wanxiu.
Jiang Wanxiu leaned on the warm quilt spread in the ancestral hall, a thick layer, it was common for her to kneel in the ancestral hall before, where did she have such treatment.
Afterwards, the maid went back to Tsurujudo to reply.
The old lady heard the maid say that she had prepared a few more quilts, and her face was pale, but she didn't say anything.
Then, Mama Li, who was beside the old lady, said with a smile: "The old lady should be like this, the slave knows that the old lady is like a mirror in her heart, whether this is what the eldest lady did, the old lady will definitely be able to see through." ”
Hearing this, the old lady sighed and said: "I know the nature of that child, and I will never frame a child who has not yet been born, as for her mother, if she has that ability, she will let the second room climb on her head and rob her of her favor?" ”
"If that child can support her, I can save some worries with her helping the Jiang family in the future......"
As he spoke, he paused in his tone and said: "It's just that she is going to marry after all, I can take advantage of me to find a good family for them, and a good daughter-in-law for Yu'er, the Jiang family will have a good backer in the future, even if it is under Jiuquan, I can rest assured." ”
Hearing this, Mama Li hurriedly comforted: "The old lady's body is tough, don't say such things again." As he spoke, he paused and said, "It's just this matter, the slave and maid guess that the second room will not be able to get rid of the relationship, if the second room has been like this, I am afraid that the Jiang family will not be at peace......."
Hearing this, the old lady sighed and said, "I naturally know, it's just that she is about to give birth in two months, and the heir is still important, and she can't lose one ...... after another."
The two of them were talking here, there was a maid outside, Mama Li went out to ask, and when she came back after a while, the old lady leaned on the soft couch and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
"It was the third prince who asked the people in the house to send a Lantian hosta, so that the eldest lady must attend the palace banquet tomorrow, and the people outside are ignorant and spread it to the old lady." Mama Li said with a smile.
The old lady paused with her hand holding the Buddha beads, frowned, and said, "When did the third prince get so close to Wan Xiu?" ”
"Who can guess the thoughts of the three princes, this is something that the old lady considers, so don't worry about the old lady." Mama Li said with a smile.
The banquet was set up in the evening, and after lunch at noon, there was a message for Jiang Wanxiu to freshen up and prepare to enter the palace.
The clothes that entered the palace were sent by the brocade dress, a smoke-blue double-grain long skirt, covered with a white blouse embroidered with white magnolia flowers, although the color of the smoke-blue looked a little old-fashioned, but wearing it on Jiang Wanxiu suppressed the immature atmosphere between the eyebrows, and it was a little more calm.
Xi Ling simply combed Jiang Wanxiu's hair in a bun, looked at the Lantian jade hairpin lying quietly in the brocade box carved by rosewood on one side, and asked, "Miss, do you want to wear this hairpin?" ”
Yesterday evening, Jiang Wanxiu stayed in the ancestral hall for less than a few hours, and there was a message outside asking Jiang Wanxiu to come out.
After Jiang Wanxiu came out, she found out that Nan Rongran sent a hairpin to deliberately take care of her to attend the palace banquet tomorrow.
Jiang Wanxiu saw the hairpin, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and said, "Put it away, take it to the palace banquet and I'll find a chance to return it to the third prince." ”
Just kidding, if she wore this hairpin to the palace banquet, wouldn't she become a thorn in everyone's side, and she was not a swaggering person like Bai Qingqing.
Seeing Jiang Wanxiu's insistence, Xia Zhu had no choice but to follow Jiang Wanxiu's meaning and put the hairpin in the brocade box.
"What's going on with the third aunt?" Jiang Wanxiu picked out a pair of jasper earrings carved into orchids from the jewelry box and put them on, asking as she asked.
Xia Zhu didn't speak, but Xiling replied: "The third aunt is still in a coma and hasn't woken up, the old man told the doctor to see it once in the morning, and he only said that he was asleep and his body was fine." ”
Jiang Wanxiu nodded, because she was in a hurry to attend the palace banquet, so she didn't ask more.
An hour later, the Jiang family's carriage was waiting outside.
Because Bai Qingqing was in another courtyard, coupled with the previous incident, naturally she didn't have her share this time.
As soon as she arrived at the palace, Jiang Wanxiu felt the chill that penetrated deep into her bone marrow, and she had been to the palace several times, but her disgust with the palace was more than once, this is the place where the powerful gather in the world, and it is also the most filthy place in the world.
Thinking of wanting to see the queen's seemingly kind face, but in fact it was hiding evil intentions, Jiang Wanxiu felt sick for a while.
She knew that after the matter of the eldest princess, the queen hated her to the core, but this time to participate in the banquet, the children of their official eunuchs had to greet the queen in the queen's Fengyi palace first.
Jiang Wanxiu reluctantly followed behind Aunt Linglu, and when she was about to arrive at Fengyi Palace, she saw Aunt Qin Xin beside the Queen Mother coming from afar, and said to Jiang Wanxiu: "Miss Jiang is here, the Queen Mother has been talking about Miss Jiang in the palace for a long time, please Miss Jiang come with me." ”
Seeing that it was the Queen Mother who invited her to go, the aunt who led the way did not stop her, and Jiang Wanwen on the side saw that Jiang Wanxiu could be summoned by the Queen Mother, and she hated itchy.
