My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 6 Aunt Yang is worried about her daughter

After Ting Shixuan left, Jiang Huaishan returned to Huaixinyuan where he was.

This is the courtyard in the middle of Jiang Mansion. The terrain is open. There is a bamboo forest planted against the wall in front of the door. Whenever the breeze comes, the fragrance of bamboo can penetrate into the nose along with the wind, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

As soon as Jiang Huaishan entered the courtyard gate, he saw his aunt Yang waiting there, with a food box in her hand. Her whole person was gentle and graceful, revealing the tenderness of a woman from the south.

"This slave has met the master."

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Not long after, the third girl has been clamoring for some bingsu cheese these past two days, so I made some. Thinking that the master also likes sweet things, I sent a bowl for you to try."

While talking, the two opened the curtain and entered the house. They put ice inside, but it was much cooler than outside.

Aunt Yang placed the food box on the Eight Immortals table and immediately went forward to change Jiang Huaishan's clothes. After putting on a fresher thin shirt, he sat down and took out the bowl of ice cream cheese and took a few bites.

"Your food always tastes good, but being too cold in the summer can be bad for your stomach. I'd better cook less for Shu'er in the future. Take better care of your body and you'll suffer less in the future."

"Yes, this slave knows."

The Shu'er in Jianghuai Mountain Pass is naturally the third girl of the Jiang family, Jiang Shishu, who was born and raised by Aunt Yang.

There is a sickly eldest sister in the house, and the second sister is in the prime of her life. The third girl in the family is even more inconspicuous. When Jiang Shiyuan's mother, Wang, was still alive, she often took her sisters to various occasions, but never Aunt Yang was grateful to the eldest lady from the bottom of her heart.

But not long after the good days, the eldest lady left.

The backyard is under the control of the old lady, and because she listened to the second lady Zhang's advice, she often looks down on these aunts and their children, not to mention visiting them in the house, but just in daily banquets. She had never thought of taking them to show her face, so Aunt Yang became anxious.

Seeing that her daughter is getting older year by year, and she will have her hair next year, but there is no one in the family to ask for her marriage, how can she not be worried as a mother?

The handkerchief was stirred, but he still couldn't open his mouth to say a complete sentence. Jiang Huaishan had been an official in the court for decades, and he had some ability to observe people's emotions. He hesitated to speak when meeting the people in front of him, and hesitated. Just guessed some of her thoughts.

"What, is there something wrong with Shu'er?"

Aunt Yang gave a wry smile, put down the care in her heart, and said a little aggrievedly.

"The second girl in the house got married last month, and I gave birth to a child like the third girl. I also hope that she can find a husband. I don't ask him to be rich and powerful, as long as he has a clean family background and is considerate and progressive. But the slave went to see the old lady several times, but was sent back all the time. There is no mistress who can take charge of the matter, and the matter has been dragged on without a conclusion, so the slave really doesn’t know who to turn to for help, so she comes to ask for mercy from the master. The third girl will be born next year. She was born in the original It’s just a little lower. If I get older, I’m afraid good people will look down on me.”

When she said this, she kept holding back the tears in her eyes. Seeing this, Jiang Huaishan felt a little more guilty in his heart, and sighed and said.

"It's my fault that I've been busy with official duties all day long, and I've forgotten that Shu'er is also old enough to get married."

He is not a lustful person, he only has one wife and one concubine in his life.

Since his wife's death, he has given up the idea of ​​marrying again. There is a considerate Aunt Yang waiting in the room, and the days have passed like this. If she hadn't come to cry and beg for this today, he would have died. I really didn't think of these things.

So, she stretched out her hand and pulled her to sit in front of her. Aunt Yang felt that it was against the rules and wanted to refuse, but she couldn't break free from her master's hand, so she had to half-sit on the round stool, feeling a little uneasy.

"Today I am taking A-Nian to visit my mother-in-law at the Marquis Mansion. If Shu'er is okay, let her go with her. Since A-Nian came back, the two sisters haven't gotten along much. They should talk to each other. Take care of it.”

"No, the third girl doesn't know anything. She needs to take care of her because the eldest girl is kind-hearted and considers her younger sister." Yang never broke the rules. As a good citizen, she would not have entered the society if it had not been for her family's downfall. She is a concubine in the house, so she has never played any tricks or used any methods in this yard for more than ten years. Jiang Huaishan can see this clearly.

"In a few days, students who are going to Beijing to take the exam will gather in Xijing City. I will look for people to pay a good visit and pick a few who have clean family backgrounds and look at each other kindly. If they are capable, I will go there Hou Shuer’s life can be easier and faster.”

Hearing this, Aunt Yang wished she could give her master Jiang Huaishan a few kowtows, and she expressed her gratitude with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, Master. I don't ask for a rich family background, as long as I don't let the third girl suffer."

Her demands were never high, and Jiang Huaishan understood that, so after helping her up, he gave her instructions.

"Go back and tell Shu'er first. Today is the Marquis's family banquet, so we can't delay it."

"Yes, yes, slave, go right now."

When Aunt Yang left, she was so happy that she even forgot to take the food box. She quickly ran to the third girl's Yunshu Pavilion to tell her the good news. Then she tidied up her daughter neatly, and then He took her to Tingshixuan.

In the main room, Jiang Shiyuan was a little surprised when he heard that his third sister had come, but the sun was so bright that it was not a problem for them to wait outside, so he opened his mouth and gave instructions to the maid Liuhua.

"Please invite Third Sister and Aunt Yang to come in and talk."

"Yes, girl."

Aunt Yang was a little nervous. She had never been close to the eldest daughter since she visited her once. She was afraid that people outside would say that she was clinging to her legitimate daughter. Now that she brought her daughter to the house, she felt something was wrong.

But now, she could only give up her most worthless face and dignity, and hope that this eldest girl would be as kind-hearted as the former eldest lady, and would also protect the three girls.

After entering the door, Aunt Yang and the third girl Jiang Shishu came forward to say hello.

"This slave has met the eldest girl."

"My younger sister has met my elder sister."

Both mother and daughter have the most gentle tempers, which reminded Jiang Shiyuan of some things in the past. At that time, she was sick and not good at women's beauty, so Aunt Yang and her third sister helped embroider the wedding dress.

The stitching is fine and the colors are exquisite.

Many years later, people still said that her wedding dress was so exquisite and she was grateful for it. However, she stopped thinking when she heard that her third sister had married away to Wangzhou and Aunt Yang also died of illness.

Now that she saw the two of them appearing together, her memories were brought back again.

With a smile on his lips, he stood up and helped the two of them, asking Liu Hua and Luluo to bring stools for them, and then asked in a brisk voice.

"Why are my aunt and third sister free to come here today?"

"Slave... This slave heard that the master was going to take the eldest girl out, so she begged the master to take the third girl out to see the world. This child has not been out much since the death of the eldest lady, and has been kept in the house. They are all a little afraid of strangers.”
