Chapter 80 Marriage (3)
Hongying was embroidering in the house. The weather was not very good, and the light was not clear. After embroidering for a while, she felt dissatisfied with the embroidery. She was really upset, so she saw the girl step forward and said, "Auntie, the eldest lady is here."
"Miss?" She frowned slightly, but she didn't expect Jiang Ruan to come. No one else had stepped foot in the courtyard except Jiang Quan. She stood up and Jiang Ruan happened to walk in. When she saw her, she smiled and said, "My aunt is embroidering, and she is so well embroidered."
Hongying followed her gaze and looked at the embroidery on the table. It was a purse embroidered for Jiang Quan. The embroidered green clouds and white cranes were lifelike, making the artistic conception look high and the color was very beautiful.
"It's just for embroidery," Hongying smiled and said, "If the eldest lady likes it, I will embroider one for the eldest lady another day."
"Then I'll thank you for Aunt Wu." Jiang Ruan accepted with a smile, glanced at the room, and said, "It was said that everyone said that my father loved Aunt Wu the most, but I didn't believe it. Now I see you, it's okay if you don't believe it."
The house was well-decorated, but seeing that all the things placed in front of the table were exquisite and expensive, I guess Jiang Quan had put some thoughts on Hongying.
Hongying was stunned and smiled and said, "The master is naturally the one who loves his wife the most, and the eldest lady is joking."
"I never joke." Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "It's actually nothing wrong to visit the fifth aunt today." She looked gentle: "There are no peace in the mansion these days, and the second sister and second brother have suffered misfortunes again, but they seem to be cursed. I wondered, is it time for Ruan Niang's turn next?"
Hongying's heart was thrilled when she heard this, she looked at Jiang Ruan and said, "Why did the big girl say this?"
"Intuition." Jiang Ruan smiled: "I don't have many people close to me in the mansion, and my mother passed away too early. Although my mother treats me well, she already has two sisters and second brothers..." Her voice was slightly lowered: "I can only say something to the fifth aunt. If the fifth aunt is the hostess in the mansion, it would be great. A kind person like the fifth aunt will definitely protect Ruan Niang everywhere, and Ruan Niang will definitely repay the fifth aunt, so that the Jiang family can be harmonious and prosperous."
The fifth aunt pursed her lips, and somehow she was beating hard in her heart. She looked at Jiang Ruan inquiringly, and her charming eyes were smiling at her. It was clearly as gentle as flowing water, but she was like watching flowers in the fog, and she couldn't see the emotions clearly. She was born in a brothel and had seen many people of all kinds, and she could understand the hearts of people, but she didn't understand the little girl in her early ten years in front of her.
"Miss, I really think I am qualified to be the hostess of the Jiang Mansion?" She heard her slightly trembling voice.
Jiang Ruan smiled and picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip: "Why not?"
Hongying looked at her and suddenly smiled: "I don't know what to do if my eldest lady raises me like this. In fact, if the eldest lady doesn't come to find me today, I will also go and meet her for a while."
Jiang Ruan looked at her with a smile, and Hongying said again: "I was chatting with the master yesterday. The master talked about the father and son of the Li family. The eldest lady also knew about the affairs of Mr. Li and the second lady. Master Li is like this now, Prime Minister Li must not be able to tolerate the second lady, but the master did not want to tear off his face with Prime Minister Li, so he thought about letting the eldest lady marry into the Li family instead of Miss II." After saying this, she carefully observed Jiang Ruan's expression, but saw that the bright face had not changed, and the smile on the corner of her lips remained as if she was wearing a perfect mask.
Jiang Ruan sighed softly: "I really envious of my father's love for my second sister so much."
Seeing this, Hongying said, "I am also anxious. It is obvious that the second lady caused the incident. How can I make the eldest lady apologize? And then Master Li is now considered a useless person. If the eldest lady really gets married, she will definitely be in great pain."
Jiang Ruan pondered for a moment and smiled at Hongying, "Thank you for your advice, but I can't interfere with my father's decision. If he really decided, Ruan Niang, as the daughter of the Jiang family, can only accept it."
Hongying was stunned: "Miss agrees to marry?"
"I agree, my father agrees, I wonder if Lord Li agrees?" Jiang Ruan smiled softly and stood up: "There are quite a lot of times, and I should go back too." After a pause, her eyes fell on the embroidered look on the table, and she smiled: "It is also necessary for my father to love the fifth aunt, and it is also necessary for the fifth aunt to care about his father. But Ruan still wants to remind the fifth aunt that if there are no descendants, the fifth aunt and the second aunt are actually the same." She smiled and said the following words: "If there are descendants and there is no status, the fate of the children and the aunts is the same."
After Jiang Ruan left for a long time, Hongying was still sitting there in a daze. The maid beside her asked carefully when she saw this, "Auntie?"
Hongying waved her hand, her expression was full of fatigue, and she whispered: "What exactly should the eldest lady do?"
In the Jinying Palace in Beijing, Ye Feng stood at the desk and said, "General Guan has sent news and returned to the court next month." After a pause, he said, "I will go on a mission today. I heard from the people below that someone has recently plundered the surplus grain in the city, which is probably related to the Eighth Highness. I took a look at it and found out that it was the maid next to Miss Jiang's house. " He frowned: "But I don't know why the purpose is."
Xiao Shao turned around, his heroic eyebrows slightly raised, which made the beautiful handsome face look a little more awesome, and said, "Continue to inquire. Pay attention to the movements in Li Dong's mansion."
"Prime Minister Li?" Ye Feng said in surprise: "Master wants to deal with him in advance?"
Xiao Shao shook his head: "The eldest son of the Li family is still alive. This matter is related to the Jiang family. The Jiang family does not want to make a grudge with the Li family. I guess it is right. Jiang Quan should have made any moves."
Ye Feng thought for a while: "Behind the Jiang family is the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is also the eighth prince. Maybe the eighth prince will come forward." After all, the Xiao family and the Li family are rare resources, and Xuan Li will not let it go in vain. He suddenly smiled: "I really don't know what the eighth prince is feeling in his subordinates' den. In short, the eldest son of the Li family is in trouble, but Miss Jiang Er did a good thing. After castrating Li Yang like this, the Li family and the Jiang family have a rift no matter what."
Xiao Shao did not correct Ye Feng's words. He remembered Jiang Ruan's childhood neatness with broken porcelain pieces in the room that day. He was clearly a girl in the boudoir. When he saw the man's lower body, he was not embarrassed. There was only coldness in his eyes. When he looked at Li Yang, he looked like a dead pig waiting to be slaughtered.
Since he was ten years old, he has also walked up step by step with blood. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could not believe that a girl in the deep boudoir would have the gaze of a killer.
How did Jiang Quan raise this eldest daughter?
After a moment, Xiao Shao retracted his thoughts and said, "I'll go to the palace."
On the north side of the capital, firecrackers were heard at the entrance of a three-entry mansion. In front of the vermilion gate pillar, two lions with claws were scattered. The top of the gold plaque was tied with red flowers. The above two big characters: Liu Mansion.
