My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 26 Jiang Huaishan comes to visit and encounters yin and yang

Cousin-in-law Xiang on the side didn't know whether it was because she was pregnant, but her nose became sore and tears fell down. Madam Hou Pei looked at her distressedly, and then patted the back of her hand comfortingly. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, and were happy that Jiang Shiyuan could be so determined.

All the women in the room were a little sad.

Finally, second cousin Wang Kuan and third cousin Wang Hong came out to interrupt, and this made the atmosphere lively.

"Grandma, mother, don't be sad. Isn't this a good thing? After all, the meat is still rotten in the pot at home. If Zi Di dares to be bad to his cousin, you two can just go to your uncle's house and make a fuss. Who dares to say Not a word?”

"You brat, your uncle knew what you were saying all day long. He took you back to Hanzhou and sent you to the military camp for three to five years to train to see if you still dare to stab your head?"

Second cousin Wang Kuan was frightened by what his mother Pei said.

He was not like his third brother who had endless yearning for the military camp, so he would rather lose his reputation than go south to Hanzhou with him to join the army. After hearing the threat in these words, he immediately laughed.

"My son is really hard to be a man. It doesn't matter whether I praise him or not. I don't even have a position in the family. I'm being ordered around by you all day long. Look, you just want to send me away! To put it bluntly, why bother beating around the bush? What about?”

As soon as he said this, the eldest brother Wang Su calmly replied before anyone else spoke.

"After growing up, my brain has finally become smarter. My father has already said hello in the capital water prison. If there is a seat vacant, you will be asked to fill it immediately. This time, I advise you to behave yourself and do your errands properly. , pick up your reputation, otherwise no girl will dare to enter our Marquis Wenyuan Mansion!"

Wang Su said that he had a lot of dislike for his second brother. At first, he also knew that the second brother was so unrestrained just to show off to outsiders, so as not to attract the attention of Princess Qinghuan and cause trouble.

But he didn't expect that the second brother would use this excuse to stop making progress day after day. Originally, his ranking in the academy was very good. Seeing that Chunwei would have good results, who knew that he would fail the ranking for three consecutive years? , and then he was sent to Weiwei Temple by the family to find connections.

Even without Pei Zifeng's reminder, Wang Su would have started to deal with the future and wife issues of his second brother Wang Kuan, but his opening gave Wang Su a more straightforward reason to do this.

Wang Kuan sighed twice and had no other words to argue with.

He now feels that if he really ends up in the Capital Water Prison, it might be a good thing to be sent to Hanzhou to build canals. At least his ears will be much cleaner! Thinking of this, he didn't seem so angry at Pei Zichen, the "culprit".

Compared to his "unpopularity", his third cousin Wang Hong was much more cheerful and generous. He walked straight up to the two of them and said with a smile and clasped his fists.

"I didn't expect such a happy event when I come back this time. Cousin Zifan and cousin Anian, congratulations to you two!"

The third cousin was direct, and Jiang Shiyuan didn't shy away, returning the same respectful greeting.

"Thank you, third cousin."

Such a completely different treatment made the second cousin on the side even more angry and dissatisfied. However, there were too many people in the room who were oppressing him, so he could only hold his mouth and pretend to be aggrieved. This made Mrs. Wang very unhappy. It hurts. After waving to him, Wang Kuan walked over and squatted next to Mrs. Wang, with a pitiful look on his face. Mrs. Wang didn't know that he was just pretending, but she liked this grandson, so she had to be biased. A little bit, so he coaxed.

"Okay, our waiter is still young and can take care of his future, but there is no need to worry about marrying a wife. Let him choose by himself. As long as what he likes is what grandma and I like, no one can force her."

Everyone in Wenyuanhou's mansion has long been accustomed to Mrs. Wang's obvious favoritism.

The eldest son of the family, Wang Su, is the most dependent, so he and his wife Xiang have been in charge of many things in the family since he got married. The second son is more naughty but can best make the old lady happy, so he can't suffer much. The third son is strong-willed. He has longed for the military camp since he was a child, so he gets along more harmoniously with his uncle's family in Hanzhou. The fourth son is younger, and he is also the most loved by Marquis Wenyuan and his wife. Therefore, each family has its own backer, and no one feels wronged.

Pei Zifan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw the brothers playing around. Thinking of his younger brothers and sisters at home in Hanzhou, he was relieved but also had some troubled thoughts.

But before he could think more deeply, footsteps were heard outside, and soon a servant raised his voice.

"Master Marquis is here, Master Jiang is here."

The two of them returned from the court and returned to the Hou Mansion together. On the way, they briefly chatted about Jiang Shiyuan's marriage. They thought that if there was a chance, they would solidify the idea of ​​refusing the marriage, but they did not expect that... As soon as I entered the door, I saw this happy look.

Jiang Huaishan was not stupid. After seeing everyone looking at his daughter and Pei Zichen with smiles on their faces, he understood that the marriage was probably going to come to fruition. However, he stared at Pei Zichen and did not pay attention to the corners of his daughter's mouth. With an upward arc, he stepped forward to greet the old lady and said something serious.

"Forgive me, mother-in-law. A-Nian has been away from home for a few days. My mother and younger siblings at home have said that they miss her, so my son-in-law is here today to take A-Nian home. I ask my mother-in-law for permission."

He was always prudent and mature in his words and deeds, so no one heard much dissatisfaction in his words. However, Pei Zifeng had always been keen, so the moment Jiang Huaishan came in and looked at him, he knew that his future father-in-law must be a Difficult to deal with.

But he still stood firmly beside Jiang Shiyuan, not flinching because of the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Mrs. Wang frowned and glanced at the son-in-law in front of her indifferently. If he said something about someone else, Mrs. Wang might be able to tolerate it, but she said that it was his mother who wanted her granddaughter, which made Mrs. Wang unhappy. , his usually kind face suddenly darkened.

"Hey, now I remember that A-Nian is the granddaughter of your Jiang family? I thought there was only one second girl in the Jiang family, and everyone in the family had to respect her. Didn't she say that she had been married to Prince Chun's palace and became the eldest concubine? I thought so I forgot to ask, she must be living like a fish in water, right?"

The old lady has always been kind-hearted and good-tempered. She used to love Jiang Huaishan, her only son-in-law, but since the incident of Jiang Shijin's replacement marriage, she no longer likes anyone in the Jiang family.

In the past, the two families would move around a lot, but now even if the Jiang family personally sends gifts to the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, they will not accept them, let alone return gifts. Jiang Huaishan is so squeezed by his mother-in-law that he has no place to put his face. .

But he himself also knew the resentment in the old lady's heart, so he could only endure it.

"Mother-in-law, please calm down. I do feel sorry for Ah Nian about Jin'er, but I am also her biological father, and I will never have harmful intentions towards my daughter. I am here sincerely to take my daughter back, and I ask my mother-in-law for your permission." ”
