On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

In fact, Xiaobai was very satisfied with Mrs. Jiang's proposal.

Although her husband was on inspection, he had more worries because he was from outside.

It would be different if he could get in touch with the county magistrate.

She not only helps her cousin, but also helps her husband get closer.

Therefore, I also dragged my cousin to come closer to Aunt Wu to flatter her.

Mrs. Jiang and a few acquaintances gathered together to chat for a while. After having lunch, she took the wife of the proprietor of Kaifa Village and left with her.

Mrs. Wu was in the limelight today and was laughed at from ear to ear. When she heard that Mrs. Jiang was leaving, she went to see her off in person: "The reception was not good enough. I will come to pay my respects to the old lady tomorrow."

Mrs. Jiang thought she was just saying polite words, but didn't take it to heart: "You are too polite, I really don't need it. There will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future."

Even if the Jiang family cannot hold County Magistrate Chen's lap, they still have to hold Mrs. Chen's lap.

What would be bad if the news reached Mrs. Chen’s ears after traveling around the Wu family a lot?

"You are right." Mrs. Wu also felt that Mrs. Jiang's words were particularly pleasant, so when sending her out, she said warmly: "Then I will take my daughter to pay my respects to the old lady tomorrow."

Mrs. Jiang suspected that she was mentally ill: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

It’s a day for family reunion, what are they doing here?

Mrs. Wu patted her forehead: "I'm dizzy. Let's visit later."

Mrs. Jiang wanted to refuse, but even without spending much time together, she felt that she and Mrs. Wu were not from the same group, had nothing to say, and did not want to entertain.

But she is already a mature matron. Even if she meets someone she doesn't like, she can't be rude.

"Then I will wait for Mrs. Wu at home the day after tomorrow."

Mrs. Jiang thought irresponsibly that since she was going to meet her mother-in-law, she could just say hello and leave.

On August 16th, Mrs. Jiang couldn't get up in the morning because she had a few too many drinks last night.

But it doesn't matter, her mother-in-law treats her kindly and doesn't let her go to pay her respects often.

In the autumn morning, the flowers and fruits were fragrant, and the autumn air was crisp. She slept very soundly.

Unexpectedly, annoying mosquitoes kept chirping in her ears.

No, mosquitoes can’t talk.

Someone kept shouting in a low voice outside: "Madam, madam..."

Mrs. Jiang, who was woken up, took a deep breath and reminded herself not to be a shrew, so she didn't curse loudly. She said angrily: "What's wrong, Tai, are you calling the spirit so early in the morning?"

The maid glanced at the sun hanging in the sky outside, and then continued: "Madam, the concierge is reporting that Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu are here as invited."

"Mama Jia has already welcomed them to the old lady's side. Do you want to go over?"

"Hurry up and help me get up and wash up." Mrs. Jiang finally got up and asked the maid: "What time is it now?"

The maid whispered: "Go back to my wife, it's already the end of the morning (9 o'clock in the morning)."

It can also be said that it is the beginning of Si Shi, but it seems earlier to say Chen Shi.

It is convenient for the master to deceive himself.

"Isn't it the end of the day?" Mrs. Jiang was relieved. She felt that it was not that she was lazy, but that they came too early.

Really, I’m not here to catch the autumn breeze. Why come to visit so early?

Coincidentally, Mrs. Jiang also thought so at the moment.

Yesterday, she also drank a few more glasses of medicinal wine with her old man, and it was rare for her to sleep in. Fortunately, she got up at Chenshizhong (that is, at eight o'clock in the morning), otherwise she would be blocked on the couch by the guests, which would be shameful.

She invited Mrs. Wu to drink tea, and then praised Miss Wu a few words.

After greetings, Mrs. Jiang finally arrived belatedly.

She definitely couldn't say that she got up late, so she could only flatter herself: "I'm so sorry, there was an emergency at Huichun Hall, and I was late."

"Business matters." When Mrs. Wu saw that Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were there, she winked at her daughter.

Wu Xiulian got up under the pretext of changing clothes, and only the Jiang family's maid led her out.

And Mrs. Wu finally spoke: "It's time for the male to get married and the female to get married. I heard that your young master hasn't got an engagement yet, and my Xiulian hasn't got an engagement either?"

The Jiang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were shocked when she proposed that her daughter wanted to get married.

At this moment, they all want to say: dream.

They wanted to know the girl in the family. The Wu family didn't know the details, and they didn't see anything special about Miss Wu. Why should they let their grandson (son) marry her?

Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter-in-law and signaled her to refuse.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Wu, for your kindness. I have made an agreement with someone else. I will wait for Yu'er to come back to see us."

She felt that the Wu family was too reckless. Even if her family was interested in their own son, they would have to hire a matchmaker to make peace and make sure both parties were interested before they could sit down and talk.

Now that she came to propose marriage to her daughter, she was really at a disadvantage.

Mrs. Wu was dissatisfied and asked, "I wonder which girl it is from?"

"I'm really sorry, it hasn't been decided yet, and we can't say..."

At this time, another maid came in from outside and said, "Go back to the old lady. Madam, there are three girls outside. They say their surname is Xiao and they are the young master's savior."

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect that all the uninvited guests would come today, so she subconsciously looked at her mother-in-law.

To be honest, they were all grateful to the Xiao family for saving Jiang Yu.

But when they heard Jiang Yu say that he wanted to marry Miss Xiao, they doubted whether the life-saving grace was true.

It's also possible that Jiang Yu is trying to put money on the girl's face?

I then found out that the inn where the Xiao family stayed was owned by Jiang Yuding, and that he helped settle the settlement of the Xiao family.

This makes her, an old mother, very sad.

As the old saying goes, girls are outgoing. She clearly gave birth to a son, so why was she also outgoing?

Therefore, the Jiang family did not come to ask for help, and they tried their best to forget about this incident.

In my heart, I still felt that the Xiao family might have taken advantage of them and felt a little ashamed.

Who knew that the girls from the Xiao family are here again now?

Mrs. Jiang also hesitated for a moment, then quickly came to her senses: "Invite them in."

He picked up the tea cup again and looked at Mrs. Wu. He felt in his heart that even if she was a foreigner, she still understood the meaning of serving tea to guests, right?

Of course Mrs. Wu understands.

Ordinarily she shouldn't be excited after hearing the Jiang family's gossip. After all, the Jiang family doesn't like their daughter.

But she suspected that the girl who came in was a girl who had a tacit understanding with the Jiang family. She also wanted to see which family she belonged to?

If she is not as good as her own daughter, she can also use some tricks in secret to make them end without any problems before they see each other in the open.

Anyway, at this time, Mrs. Wu never expected that the three Xiao girls who came in were acquainted with her.

So she lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea.

She felt that the old lady definitely did not mean to serve tea as a farewell to the guests, but just like herself, she took a sip of tea to moisten her body when she was thirsty: "The color of the tea is clear and the taste is very good. It is really good tea."

The old lady couldn't drive the person out, so she could only say: "If Mrs. Wu likes it, I can bring a bag of tea back later."
