My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 8 The appearance of all the beings in the Marquis Mansion before the family banquet

She didn't go out much when she was in Xuzhou, and even more so when she came to Xijing City, so she had never heard of the Lan Yue Tower or the begging event. If the eldest sister hadn't mentioned it today, I'm afraid her father wouldn't have thought of it. These.

So he glanced at Jiang Shiyuan gratefully, and then said respectfully to Jiang Huaishan.

"A daughter listens to her father and big sister."

She had always been well-behaved and had never bothered Jiang Huaishan. Seeing her meek and humble look, Jiang Huaishan couldn't help but reached out and touched her forehead and replied considerately.

"The old lady has the final say in the backyard. My father also knows that you and your aunt have been wronged in many matters. Tomorrow, my father will ask someone to go to the clothing store to pick out some beautiful dresses for you. Summer is here, and there are many banquets. The girl's family It’s impossible to do without these.”

"Dad sent you clothes, and my daughter will send you a box of jewelry. A lazy person like me is usually afraid of wearing those things. If I leave them in my daughter's house, I'd be buried in them. On the contrary, my third sister should not dislike them."

As soon as Jiang Shishu heard this, he quickly waved his hands, with some embarrassment in his eyes, and immediately replied.

"How dare I dislike the wishes of my father and eldest sister? It's just that I'm a little girl who doesn't go out very often. Wearing these things always makes me look a little more conspicuous, so I might as well forget it. The clothes and jewelry I have now are very good. "

Jiang Shishu has a contented character, just like Aunt Yang.

But Jiang Shiyuan didn't want her to be so pure forever in her good years, especially after seeing her aunt and cousin too many times, she felt in her heart that women should be like this, and should be pampered no matter in her mother's family or her husband's family. , take good care of it.

As a result, some distressed thoughts arose, and there was more comfort in the eyes he looked at Jiang Shishu.

"If the family doesn't say such lies, the third sister can just accept them. At her age, she should dress up well."

Jiang Shishu felt indescribably moved.

She didn't meet her eldest sister many times, but her care for her was rare.

In the back house, she had heard her grandmother and second aunt mention that her eldest sister was a sickly and unapproachable noble girl. She didn't expect to be so humble, so she naturally had many thoughts of getting close to her.

The father and daughter chatted all the time, and they arrived not long after.

As soon as Jiang Shiyuan and his party got off the carriage, they saw the housekeeper Qing Bo who had been waiting in front of the door for a long time. When he saw the Jiang family coming, he put a smile on his face and immediately stepped forward to say hello.

"Old slave has met Lord Zongzheng and met the eldest lady."

Then he looked at Jiang Shishu with his eyes and asked respectfully.

"This is..."

"Uncle Qing, this is the third sister in the family. She came with us to visit my grandmother today."

"I see, this old slave has met Miss Jiang San."

"I've met Uncle Qing."

Jiang Shishu was a little nervous and immediately returned a half salute, fearing that there would be something inconsiderate that would offend the people in the Hou Mansion.

Compared to her restraint, Jiang Shiyuan felt as joyful as a fish in water at this moment.

Looking at this familiar place, her face was filled with a bright smile. For a person who was naturally good-looking, this smile was even more charming.

"Grandma, how are you doing these days?"

"Everything is fine. It's just that the old lady always thinks about the eldest daughter, and her appetite is less than before. But after the young master Pei and the third young master came back, they teased the old lady and she was able to eat a big bowl again."

Jiang Shiyuan listened and chuckled lightly.

"Grandma is still as childish as before." "The eldest lady said, please come in. The Marquis, Madam and the young masters in the mansion have been waiting for a long time."

"OK."

After that, the three of them entered the gate of Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion under Qing Bo's guidance.

Different from the simple and elegant layout of Jiang's Mansion, the Wenyuan Marquis' Mansion is full of wealth and aura, with complicated pavilions and pavilions everywhere you look. Every step of the way, you can see a scene, and the winding water and the wine tables are all decorated with lavish carved beams and painted buildings.

The ancestor of Wenyuanhou Mansion was in charge of the Salt Transportation Department, and that was a fat job.

Forty years ago, the old Marquis took over this post again and went to the south of the Yangtze River alone for inspection and investigation. He was in danger many times on the way, but he still showed his loyalty to the imperial power. In the end, he helped the national treasury recover nearly 80% of the profits, and established a great deal. of great contribution.

Naturally, the old emperor noticed him and knew that he was not using his position to seek personal gain, so he gave him a lot of generous gifts. Coupled with the previous accumulation of the Marquis's family, it was quite a fortune.

Several people entered the hanging flower door and saw corridors on both sides. In the middle of the hall was a red sandalwood framed marble screen. After bypassing the screen, there was the main courtyard.

Although Jiang Huaishan was the uncle of the family, it was not easy to go directly to the backyard, so he stayed in the front hall and waited for his wife's brother, the Marquis, and his nephews to come over, while Jiang Shiyuan continued walking forward with his sister Jiang Shishu. .

Behind the front hall is a group of side rooms with a verandah running through the mountain. When you take a closer look, you can see that there are five formal upper rooms standing there majestically. There are also many maids and women standing in front of the door. When they see a few people coming, they immediately salute and say hello. , the rules are strict.

Among them, a kind-hearted maid walked a few steps and came over with a smile. She saluted gracefully and said.

"The old lady was saying just now, why hasn't the eldest lady come yet? What a coincidence, Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here soon."

"Thrush's mouth is so sweet. It seems that all those honeys in grandma's room have rewarded you."

Jiang Shiyuan made a joke, but the maid Huamei was not annoyed at all. She quickly opened the curtain and invited them inside, and then replied.

"The big girl is here."

As soon as the two sisters entered the door, they saw an old lady with silver hair sitting in the middle, listening to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law talking. As soon as they saw Jiang Shiyuan come in, before she could pay her respects, they quickly walked over and hugged her into her arms. The **** shouted.

"You little heartless boy, I promised you that you would come to see your grandma in a few days after returning home. It's better for you. I haven't seen you send someone to send a message back after ten and a half days. You are not afraid that your grandma will feel bad about you. ?”

Mrs. Wang is rich and has a round face.

She had the charm of an old lady that could only be found in the Dingsheng family. She looked at Jiang Shiyuan with loving eyes, and she actually shed tears as she looked at her. Jiang Shiyuan immediately took a handkerchief and wiped it with her.

"Grandma, please be considerate. Isn't my granddaughter here?"

Aunt Pei and cousin Xiang came behind and quickly comforted Mrs. Wang.

"Today is the day of reunion, old lady, don't be sad. If you cry until your eyes are red, I'm afraid those boys outside will make a fuss and find some weird things to make you happy."

After hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan asked with a smile in his eyes.

"Granddaughter, I heard what Uncle Qing said. After the third cousin and cousin Pei came, grandma was so happy that she could eat a big bowl of rice every day. It seems that grandma said she missed her granddaughter, but I'm afraid she was just in fun. It’s over.”

As soon as she made a sound, Mrs. Wang laughed and cursed.

"Those two monkeys have the same temperament. They play tricks in front of me every day. Even if they don't laugh, they will make me laugh. Naturally, they will eat more food when they are tired from laughing. You can take a look when you come back today and see how they behave this time. Want to bring out something fun?"

As soon as Mrs. Wang said these words, everyone in the room also started laughing. Their family was chatting lively, but Jiang Shishu next to them was a little uneasy and a little embarrassed.
