Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 28

After Fang Zhengyuan and Fang Yanjing were stripped of their military power in a disguised form, they went down to court every day. Apart from sitting in the military department, they recuperated at home. When they heard that Jiang Jinyan was coming, they rushed over from the front yard.

Jiang Jinyan hurriedly stood up and saluted, Fang Zhengyuan hurriedly helped up the granddaughter, "Girl has been wronged!"

After I came back, I heard that because of the incident at the front, this granddaughter suffered a lot, and when I thought of my daughter who died early, the circles of my eyes turned red.

Jiang Jinyan hurriedly said: "Grandfather was fighting abroad, defending the family and the country, Yan'er never believed in rumors and slanders, and he didn't feel wronged!"

Fang Yanjing stood aside and nodded secretly, this is the spirit of the Fang family!

Mrs. Fang hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law Yanjing, tell me, there will be a plain table in the house at noon today."

Mrs. Li hurriedly nodded and got up, went out to give orders, and met Fang Licheng who came from the courtyard.

"Mother, is Cousin Jinyan here?" Fang Licheng walked a little fast, and the servant beside him was still chasing him from a distance.

Mrs. Li frowned slightly, "In the house, your father and grandfather are also there, why are you so reckless?"

After Fang Licheng bowed his hands to his mother, he walked into the house, and the woman at the door hurriedly drew up the curtain.

After meeting each other, Fang Licheng glanced at Jiang Jinyan, who was sitting beside Mrs. Fang, who was calm and peaceful from time to time.

I thought she would be lonely and haggard at this moment, but now it seems that although she has lost a lot, she is as calm as water.

Except for the slightly red eyes, she still has that bright and charming appearance like a begonia. She used to look a little thin, but now she is wearing a moon-white dress, and her fair face without makeup is much more demure.

Sensing Fang Licheng's gaze, Jiang Jinyan smiled back and lowered her eyes no longer looking there. Compared to before, she is more polite now.

Fang Lixian, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, has not recovered since she returned to the mansion, and there was another distinguished visitor in the courtyard today, so she did not come over.

Fang Lijin is not in the mansion today, and it is said that he was invited by Xu Junhui, the eldest son of Duke Anguo's mansion.

When Jiang Jinyan heard about An Guogong's mansion, he subconsciously thought of Xu Junyan. Although Xu Junyan was a concubine, in his previous life he achieved the position of Zhen Guohou by himself.

Although An Guogong's mansion is a state duke's mansion, it doesn't have much real power. An Guogong Xu Xiuwen succeeded to the title of Guogong because of his ancestor Yin. Now there are not many people in An Guogong's lineage. Although Xu Junhui is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, he has only been a servant of the Ministry of Officials.

In fact, Xu Junyan was much better than many of the legitimate sons of the family. Jiang Jinyan had to admit that he admired him, but he didn't want to have any contact with him anymore. He felt guilty in his previous life.

After lunch, Jiang Jinyan told Mrs. Fang about his plans, and Mrs. Fang burst into tears again. Jiang Jinyan washed his grandmother's face with his own hands, and coaxed her to drink a bowl of loquat.

Jiang Jinyan also said that he had thought about finding a member of the household department for his father, Wai Lang. Mrs. Fang thought about the situation in the Hou Mansion and thought it was appropriate, not to mention that it was not difficult for the Fang family to do such a trivial matter.

It's just that Mrs. Fang saw that the granddaughter she held in her hands and doted on had become more sensible and calm, but her heart was even more bitter, how hard it is for a child without a mother.

Jiang Jinyan wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Grandmother forgot that Yan'er still has half of the Fang family's blood. How could she be so overwhelmed?"

Seeing how resolute she is, Mrs. Fang just sighed and nodded, "If there is something, I must come to send news. The situation of our Fang family is not good, but we can protect my sister Yan."

Jiang Jinyan knew that his grandmother was probably still worried about the Fang family at this moment, so he persuaded him: "Grandmother probably forgot, the tree attracts the wind, if the Fang family is rich and powerful this time, it may be too conspicuous, why don't you take a step back, you are always worried I can't see my grandfather and uncle, but now I spend more time with my uncle and them, isn't that good?"

Mrs. Fang laughed, "I didn't expect that my old lady would want to be coaxed by Sister Yan... Sister Yan is right, it's my grandmother who is thinking about it."

When leaving, Mrs. Fang stuffed a small mahogany box for Jiang Jinyan. Jiang Jinyan had no choice but to let Xueyan keep it. After saying goodbye to everyone, Mrs. Fang asked Fang Licheng to send Jiang Jinyan out of the house.

After getting in the car, Jiang Jinyan was taken aback when he opened the box, and Xue Yan also exclaimed, "The old lady is really kind to the young lady." Inside the box was a silver bill of 3 taels.

Jiang Jinyan pursed his lips and sighed secretly, "Grandmother is afraid that I will be looked down upon if I don't have money by my side in the Hou Mansion."

In fact, taking care of the mother's dowry can benefit a lot, but now she is a little unable to do what she wants, and those shops still need to be tidied up.

Fang Licheng stood and watched for a long time before turning around, but saw Li Qianyun, the eldest lady of the Governor's Mansion, standing by a clump of bamboo forest behind him and staring at him.

Li Qianyun was dressed in a silk satin dress with wishful cloud patterns, and three slub-pattern suet jade hairpins were inserted obliquely in her hair. She was tall and tall, but this warm and elegant dress made her lose her former charm, and her eyes were full of anger.

"I came to find Big Brother Fang to practice swords, but I didn't expect Big Brother Fang to be here, so it's easy for me to find!"

Fang Licheng frowned and tried to bypass her. How on earth did Dudu Li raise his daughter?

The most hateful thing is that Li Qianyun would take advantage of the opportunity to come to see Fang Lixian to make gestures to her every now and then, how could she fight with a woman, what kind of words did she spread!

Li Qianyun has been on good terms with Fang Lixian, the daughter of the Fang family since she was a child, so she always runs to the general's mansion and pesters Fang Licheng.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Qianyun quickly blocked him, "Brother Fang! What's wrong with me! You want to avoid me like this!"

The two maids beside her quickly took a few steps back, and they were relieved after making sure that there was no one else around. The temperament of her own lady is really shocking. How can a boudoir girl behave like this? It wasn't the maid beside her who was sent down.

Fang Licheng was angry and anxious, how could there be such a woman!
"You come to see Lixian, I don't care about you, if you repeat it again and again..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Qianyun blurted out, "Brother Fang, does he have someone he likes? Is it that girl just now?"

Fang Licheng turned his head, "What's the matter with you, you are a daughter of the Dudu's mansion, is this the way of upbringing?!"

Seeing his expression, Li Qianyun felt even more annoyed. Just now, she saw Fang Licheng smiling and sending the woman into the car, and she stood and watched for a long time!

"Brother Fang, apart from that face, she is not worthy of you! You shouldn't be like this!"

That woman is too gentle, and her face is surprisingly beautiful. At first glance, she is the kind of woman who serves people in Israel. How can she be compared with Brother Fang!
Fang Licheng heard her slander Jiang Jinyan so much, he pushed her away and left, "You are not one ten-thousandth as good as her."

Li Qianyun stared blankly at him walking away, bit her lip and stomped her feet.

Lixian said that her elder brother likes plain clothes, so she took great pains to change this clothes, but he didn't even want to take a second look.

After all, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she has a straightforward temper, and she can't have the demeanor of a young lady from an aristocratic family.

"Go and find out! What kind of female guest came to the General's Mansion today!" She insisted on knowing the identity of such a coquettish vixen!
The two maids quickly bowed their heads in response.

"Why are you still standing there! Go!"

"Miss you?"

"Go home!"

The two servant girls looked at each other. It seems that the young lady is in a hurry this time. Although the young master of the Fang family doesn't like to talk to the young lady normally, there is no such a beautiful and shameless woman. This time...they Shaking his head slightly, he trotted to the front yard.

Fang Lixian was pacing back and forth in the yard when a woman walked into the yard quickly and said in a low voice: "Miss Li and the young master quarreled again for a while, but they are far away, the old slave really can't hear clearly, so he just heard something that goes with it. Unworthy."

Fang Lixian frowned, do these two still quarrel when they meet like this?

Fang Lixian sighed, "Go down, don't spread this matter.
"Forget it, old slave." The old woman bowed and stepped back.

Fang Lixian sighed. Eldest brother is already sixteen this year, but he is always procrastinating. She can tell that elder brother is thinking about cousin Jinyan, but cousin Jinyan is too soft-tempered. Eldest brother's wife is Cousin Jinyan, the future clan wife of the Fang family, is not suitable.

Qian Yun has a straightforward personality, and with the support of the Dudu Mansion, it would be great if she could marry her elder brother.

When they reached the lotus pond, Fang Licheng was overtaken by Fang Lijin.

"Brother, apart from being a bit hot-tempered, Miss Li is not bad at all. She has good looks, good skills, and a powerful father, so you really don't think about it?"

Fang Licheng glanced at him angrily, "If you think it's good, why not you..."

"Don't, don't, don't, this Miss Li is very difficult to handle, I have delicate skin and tender flesh, I can't take it... I really can't take it."

Fang Licheng ignored him and walked straight forward, Fang Lijin winked again and said, "Cousin Jinyan is here today?"

Fang Licheng turned his head and glared at him, "You are a scholar, why are you so wordy!"

Fang Lijin curled his lips, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "Brother, do you really want to please my cousin?"

"Don't worry about it." Fang Licheng didn't look back at him anymore, and walked straight forward, but the corners of his mouth were raised. At first, he only thought that Jin Yan smiled very nicely, and wanted to protect this sister, but now there is something different. Feeling happy?
Fang Lijin shook his head with a smile. As his big brother, he is too weak in dealing with women. Li Qianyun alone is enough for him to burn out. If Jiang Jinyan, who is so well hidden, is probably going to give him a headache.

Jiang Jinyan, he smiled, I heard that the entire Jing'an Hou Mansion is afraid of this eldest daughter who is in the palm of the family, how can such a woman be as peaceful as she appears on the surface.

But this cousin was born too beautiful, and she couldn't hide her beauty in plain clothes. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty.

"Brother! I still have business to do!" This trip to the Duke's Mansion was really worth it!

Pinxiangxuan is located in the middle of several lifangs where noble families gather, and they are all high-quality shops.

The carriage stopped at the door of Pinxiangxuan, and several accompanying women jumped out of the carriage to get the pedals and set them up. Xue Yan and Yu Mo got out of the carriage first, and then helped Jiang Jinyan down.

The three big maroon characters of Pinxiangxuan are dignified and elegant. Mrs. Fang paid a lot of money to invite calligraphy from the Qi family of the Dazhou scholarly family to write them. Judging from these three characters alone, they are better than other calligraphy in Beishi. spice shop.

Seeing the arrival of the guests, the clerk rushed out to welcome them. Just as Xue Yan was about to speak, Jiang Jinyan waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Just treat it as someone who came to visit the shop."

The clerk saw that she was a beautiful young lady, although her clothes were plain, but she had a very noble demeanor, so he quickly laughed along with her.

"Miss, please come here. Recently, there are a lot of high-quality Anshenxiang, which are most suitable for this season."

Jiang Jinyan raised Liu Mei, is it Anshenxiang again?
