Jiang Mo roughly sorted out the few greeting cards in his hand, and said: "There is also a gift list."

"Really?" Jiang Xiaohan wiped Jiang Ling's mouth as if no one was around, and said casually: "I never accept filial piety, why only go out for a few days, the adults can't remember clearly."

Jiang Mo opened the gift list and looked at ten lines, and then said: "The ones sent by the adults are similar, and most of them are medicinal materials and supplements."

"Sure enough, he is well-informed." Jiang Xiaohan smiled ambiguously: "I just asked He Liuyun to ask for a pair of snake bones on the grounds of 'physical discomfort', and everyone in Beijing knows now."

Jiang Mo closed the gift list: "Apart from that, there are also several boxes of jewelry and high-quality brocade, which are clearly stated to be for the second young lady."

Jiang Xiaohan had confessed to Jiang Ling by himself before, so Jiang Mo naturally changed his words accordingly.

As he spoke, he was going to hand over the gift list to Jiang Xiaohan for review. Jiang Xiaohan waved his hand, lacking in interest: "My Jiangfu is not so downcast that I can't even afford to support a girl. Tell these adults that you will save all the effort."

Naturally, gift-giving in Beijing would not directly carry the box to the door. Apart from the inconvenience of delivery, if the other party refuses to accept it, it would be too embarrassing to reject the gift box in public.Therefore, the servants or housekeepers of the own mansion will send the gift list first. If the host accepts the gift list, the gift box will be delivered to the door; Unknowingly, it's considered a waste of face for the adults.

Jiang Mo picked out the gift list according to his words, prepared to deal with it later, and then asked: "Then these greeting cards?"

"Let's all go back." Jiang Xiaohan said: "Let's just say that I came back in a hurry after a long journey, and I haven't had time to clean up the house. It's really indecent. I will invite them to a small gathering later."

Jiang Mo bowed and said, "Yes."

Most of the time outside, Jiang Ying was protecting Jiang Xiaohan, but when he returned to the capital, Jiang Mo had to be busy.The butler of Jiang's mansion is old, so he can just take care of the trivial matters in the house, and Jiang Mo has to do the face-saving work of welcoming and sending people off.

Not long after he came back, Jiang Mo started to work hard with his feet on the back of his head, and within a few words he disappeared.

Xie Jue used to either live in the Xie Mansion in the middle of Beijing, or stay in the camp of the Shenwei Camp, and rarely came to Jiang Xiaohan's side. This was the first time he saw the dignity of Mr. Jiang's mansion.Although there were not many servants in Jiang's residence, they were all capable, and they knew Jiang Xiaohan's veins. They handled the mundane affairs in an orderly manner, and Xie Jue, an outsider, couldn't intervene for a while.

After Jiang Xiaohan fed Jiang Ling, he stood up with the little girl in his arms, and said to Xie Jue, "Most of the servants in my mansion live in the ear rooms of the outer courtyard, but the place there is small and slightly damp. I'm not used to it. Jiang Ling's courtyard should not be far from the main courtyard, you can find the butler later and ask him to arrange for you to live in a small wing outside the main courtyard."

Xie Jue saw that he was about to go out with the child in his arms, so he quickly stood up: "Then where are you going?"

"Me?" Jiang Xiaohan smiled: "I'll show A Ling to identify the door."

Jiang's mansion has been the emperor's teacher since Jiang Qiuhong's generation, and Jiang Xiaohan was striving for success, but he became the prime minister when he reached the crown, and he was highly regarded by the emperor, so this Jiang's mansion has been expanded several times, and the garden alone is comparable to Pingjiang's mansion That half the size of the house.

The buildings in the capital city are not as tactful and reserved as those in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't add a little luxury. Jiang Ling hugged Jiang Xiaohan's neck, his eyes wandered all over the yard, and he never closed his mouth along the way. Everywhere he went, he said "wow" ", almost every two steps, he would grab Jiang Xiaohan's sleeves to take a closer look in the flower halls of each courtyard.

Jiang Xiaohan's ears hurt from her noise, and he sighed helplessly: "The house is here and I can't run away. I will have a chance to take a closer look in the future."

Jiang Ling tugged at Jiang Xiaohan's neckline and asked, "Then what are we going to do now?"

Jiang Xiaohan turned around and turned out of the garden: "Take you to meet your family."

The Jiang family is dominated by civil servants. Although the ancestral hall is not gorgeous, it is simple and solid.The ancestral hall is set up in the East Courtyard, and every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it will be sanctified and worshipped. The rankings of the main families listed in the Jiang family's genealogy are all enshrined in it.Although Jiang Xiaohan is currently in charge of the Jiang family, but he accepted Jiang Ling as his daughter, out of emotion and reason, it was unavoidable.

The entire main building in the east courtyard was assigned to the ancestral hall. Jiang Xiaohan walked to the door, put Jiang Ling down, and took her hand to push the door open.

Except for the gate, all the external windows of the ancestral hall were sealed, and the temperature in the room was slightly lower than outside. Jiang Ling rubbed his arms as soon as he entered, and looked at the altar table in the room with wide eyes.The ancestors of the main family of the Jiang family were all ranked on the altar, from top to bottom in terms of seniority, the nearest row was the row of brothers Jiang Qiuhong and Jiang Qiuyuan, one new and one old, side by side at the bottom.

The genealogy of the Jiang family was placed on the altar table, the two long-burning oil lamps on the left and right were burning faithfully, and a black wooden ruler was placed in the middle.The ruler was two fingers wide and one foot long, and there were eight big characters inscribed on it: "Believe in ritual, punish with righteousness and evil".

Jiang Xiaohan bent down and pulled down two futons from the desk, and placed them in front of the altar.

"Come on, kneel down." Jiang Xiaohan said.

Although Jiang Ling didn't understand what he meant, he was obedient and knelt down on the futon obediently, looking at Jiang Xiaohan eagerly.

The little girl was no higher than Jiang Xiaohan's knees, and she was wearing a bright red dress. When she knelt on the futon, she immediately looked like a round ball of candied haws, which was very festive.

Jiang Xiaohan smiled reassuringly at her, turned his head and took down the family tree and wooden ruler from the table case.

"The ancestors of the Jiang family are above all, today's unfilial son Jiang Xiaohan opened the ancestral hall to display the family tree." Jiang Xiaohan lifted his robe with one hand and knelt beside Jiang Ling: "Today, according to my Jiang family's surname, I accept a four-year-old orphan as a daughter and name her For Ling. An unfilial son must be well-educated and not disgrace the family."

Jiang Xiaohan paused, and then said: "However, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no offspring is the greatest. An unfilial son likes one person, and he is unwilling to betray or disappoint him in this life. He has vowed not to marry for life, and all the gods of the nine heavens can witness. Although there is a daughter Jiang Ling chatted to comfort him, but in the end there was nothing to pass on, so now I ask the family law to make up my mind—A Ling, help my father hold it."

As Jiang Xiaohan said, he put the family tree in his hand on Jiang Ling's knee, and pulled out the ebony ruler.

Most of the Shangjia methods are palms under the age of 14, and backs for those over the age of 14.It's a pity that Jiang Xiaohan is the only person left in the Jiang family who is qualified to take the family law, so he can only settle for the next best thing and roll up his sleeves.

The ebony ruler hit the flesh heavily and heavily, making a startling muffled sound, but a red and swollen scar appeared immediately.

Jiang Ling was taken aback, and rushed forward to grab his hand: "Father, don't...don't hit him!"

Jiang Xiaohan turned a deaf ear to it, Jiang Ling was only so old, how could he hold him back, and watched him slap his arm completely red, crying anxiously.

Jiang Xiaohan smoked seven times without blinking, then got up and put the wooden ruler back on the table, took the pen from the altar table, and took the family tree.

There was only Jiang Xiaohan's name on the new page. He was about to start writing, but he stopped, bent down, hugged Jiang Ling, and stuffed the pen into her hand.

"Father?" Jiang Ling looked up at him.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't say a word, just took Jiang Ling's hand, led her to write her name in the column of children.

Although the little girl was ignorant, she could see how serious Jiang Xiaohan was.Her eyes fell on the paper, the ink stains blurred in a small circle on the rice paper, and the wet ink slowly flowed on the paper.Looking at the square and powerful words, Jiang Ling recognized his own name for the first time.

"Jiang, Ling." Jiang Xiaohan held her hand and raised his pen, motioning her to look at the two words: "From now on, it's justified."

Jiang Xiaohan's voice was very soft, yet with a sense of relief.He seemed to have always been so patient and serious when talking to Jiang Ling, it was as painful as taking her as his own.

Those two words were deeply engraved in Jiang Ling's mind. She raised her head and called softly, "Father."

"Good." Jiang Xiaohan smiled and put down his pen.

Today's top priority has been done, Jiang Xiaohan wanted to take Jiang Ling and kowtow to leave, but just turned around, but changed his mind.He accidentally put Jiang Ling on the ground, then turned around and picked up the pen with which he had just written the genealogy.

The left arm that had been hit by the board just now was in burning pain. Jiang Xiaohan's pen tip hung on the paper, paused and paused, and finally couldn't hold back, and drew the first stroke.

Jiang Xiaohan's pen fell on the paper, and he inkd out the word "Madame" that was left behind his name, and wrote another line beside it.

——"The Nine Towers have been cleared, and their origins will be purified."

Without asking Yan Qing what he meant, Jiang Xiaohan didn't dare to write his name on it without authorization, not to mention whether Yan Qing is willing to have anything to do with him now is still unknown.Jiang Xiaohan believed that he didn't have the confidence that Yan Qing could let go of the previous suspicions, so he could only use his will to comfort him.

Jiang Xiaohan put down his pen, looked at it carefully for a while, and then felt satisfied. He waved his hand and called Jiang Ling, and asked her to bow down in front of the ancestors.

Jiang Ling had paid homage to the ancestral hall and entered the genealogy, so he was truly Jiang's family.

After Jiang Ling finished kowtowing, Jiang Xiaohan properly placed his dried family tree and family law on the altar, put the futon back under the table, and tidied up everything.

He was about to take Jiang Ling out to settle down when there was a knock on the door of the ancestral hall.

"Young master." Jiang Ying said.

The ancestral hall is not allowed to enter unless it is a surname. Although Jiang Ying has the surname bestowed by Jiang Xiaohan and counts as her own guard, she still dare not enter the ancestral hall without permission and can only wait at the door.

Jiang Xiaohan led Jiang Ling out of the ancestral hall, closed the door behind him, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Young master, the Fourth Highness is here," Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yu?Jiang Xiaohan frowned.

He had just arrived in the capital today, and those colleagues in the capital were nothing more than just here to test his attitude, but according to Ning Yu's status, he shouldn't be so anxious.

It's just that the prince is different from others after all, even if Jiang Xiaohan feels strange, he really can't turn him away.

Jiang Xiaohan handed Jiang Ling over to Jiang Ying, and ordered: "Take A Ling back to the backyard, ask Xie Jue to take her, and tell Xie Jue not to come to the front yard."

Jiang Ying accepted Jiang Ling as she said: "What about the young master?"

Jiang Xiaohan smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to meet this very popular Fourth Highness."

Today’s little tip: Ah Qing is already coming to join the countdown~ and the sentence Mr. Jiang wrote on the genealogy uses a mapping stem XD. The word “Yan” is actually not easy to separate in the calligraphy, so Jiang My lord did something fancy, the word Yan in Taoist scriptures refers to Shangdantian, and in the Daoist collection "Yongxuanji of Yangsheng", the nine palaces of Shangdantian are described as "Gongque heavy number Yudu", Jiang The adults used it here.As for the second half of the sentence, it should be clear that the whole sentence says "Qing". [So Mr. Jiang said on the surface that being a good person in the future is actually announcing ownership on the genealogy [bushi]] and thank you for pillow Xinghai, smoked as soon as you see the lamb, and the fish food fed by Ziqi~ Thank you very much~
