Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 74
Back in the Wutong Garden, Jiang Jinyan saw his father standing in the courtyard in a uniform.

Jiang Jinyan was a little dazed, isn't his father always practicing calligraphy in the study at this time?

After waiting for a while, Jiang Shiheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Jinyan coming back with the servant girl and his wife.

He first hugged Xiao Jincheng from the nurse's hand, until Xiao Jincheng giggled happily, and then said to Jiang Jinyan: "Jinyan, your aunt will be in Luoyang in these two days."

Jiang Jinyan naturally knew about this, and prepared a yard for them. Since he couldn't figure out their preferences, he simply cleaned up the Broken Rain Pavilion next to Wutong Garden.

The layout of the courtyard is elegant and unique, and in the past two days, a red sandalwood screen with a mirror heart inlaid with the word "shou" was placed, adding a bit of extravagance.

What's more, Broken Yuxuan is very close to Wutong Garden, so I can know immediately if there is any movement.

She smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, my daughter has already prepared the Broken Rain Pavilion for my aunt and cousin. I will wait for my aunt and cousin to go to Luoyang to make plans for food and clothing. Nothing will go wrong."

Jiang Shiheng knew that she had arranged everything properly, nodded with a smile, and said after a while: "Your aunt wrote to say that this time... the eldest son of the He family also came to Luoyang, because he wanted to go with Jincai. The Cheng family learned from their family."

Oh?What does it mean?
Seeing her puzzled, Jiang Shiheng said, "Old Cheng Hanlin has temporarily left his home school due to illness..."

As he said that, he glanced at Jiang Jinyan, "According to your aunt's opinion, it would be more convenient for this Mr. He to live in the Hou Mansion for the time being, but he is also the eldest son of the He family in Dingzhou..."

Only then did Jiang Jinyan suddenly realize that his father meant that, but outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave the backyard at will, and just prepare a yard in the front yard.

After thinking about it for a while, she said: "It's not difficult. It would be cheaper to tidy up a yard in the front yard, but I don't know the temperament and preferences of this young master He, and it is inconvenient for my daughter to come forward. Which yard should be used for what, and my father can do it as he sees." good."

It's just... the eldest son of the He family?Isn't my aunt only a legitimate daughter?

The eldest son... Could it be the eldest son?He seemed to have some impressions of the He family himself.

Jiang Shiheng nodded, looking at Xiao Jincheng's chubby face again, his heart softened.

At any rate, I have a son who can inherit the family business. Judging from the attitude of the He family, it seems that the son of the son is going to be the son of the son.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Although this eldest son is a concubine, your aunt has already made a plan. When he enters school and makes progress, he will be recorded in her name. In the future, he will definitely be your serious cousin. If When we met in the mansion, we should respect him a little bit."

When Jiang Jinyan heard this, he thought of the He family in Dingzhou where his aunt married.

This He family is one of the most famous families in Dingzhou, but his aunt gave birth to a daughter after she got married, and the concubines and aunts carried several of them, but in the end it was just such a concubine eldest son. Although he is a concubine, congratulations The family values ​​it very much.

Jiang Jinyan nodded, "Don't worry, father, my daughter will take care of it."

Jiang Shiheng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your aunt and cousin are going to be drafted girls at our house this time, so I have to ask Jin Yan that you should be more careful."

Jiang Jinyan was stunned for a moment before nodding his head. It was not a surprise when he said it. Her aunt rarely came to Luoyang.

It turned out that this time I came to Luoyang for my cousin to enter the palace.

This aunt... seems to be called He Lan, right?She looks good and has a good temperament, but she doesn't have the bearing of a prostitute.

But it's no wonder that the eldest son of the He family's concubine's status has been stabilized, but the heir's descendant has been suppressed instead.

If He Lan flies to the branch, then this aunt will be turned over in the He family.

"Father, don't worry, my daughter will naturally pay attention."

In this way, I have to add some more decorations to the Broken Rain Pavilion, and repair and repair the cloister and Chaoshou verandah...

There was silence in Yicui Pavilion, and Wang Shi was sitting and thinking. At this time, she had received Jiang Shilian's reply letter, and estimated that Jiang Shilian and He Lan would arrive in two days.

But the meaning of the other side of the Wang family is not very clear, and it even seems to have the meaning of rejecting the door.

Although the He family is a well-known family in Dingzhou, it is really not enough to be seen in Luoyang.

She frowned.

"Auntie, the eldest lady has cleaned up the Broken Yuxuan in the past few days, and it is probably for the eldest aunt and Miss Biao."

Qiansha hurried into the house and told the news about her inquiry.

I was not sure what would happen when the aunt and Miss Biao came, so I naturally waited and watched the situation in a regular manner.

Wang snorted coldly, "She knows how to be a human being, and she puts people under her nose, what is she trying to guard against?"

Qiansha smiled and said: "Missy is just a young lady who is in charge of the house, she just has a guilty conscience, she is not afraid that my aunt might say something wrong about her."

But Mrs. Wang secretly thought that this Jiang Shilian married to Dingzhou one year after she entered Jing'anhou's mansion, except for the first few years after she got married, she seemed to seldom return to Luoyang.

As for Jiang Shilian, she was a very thoughtless person when she was a girl, and after getting married, she couldn't have a son. Maybe it's difficult for the He family?
She smiled, "People like my aunt...don't have such a temper."

Qiansha stepped forward to exchange hot tea for Mrs. Wang, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This time, my aunt will rely on you, Auntie."

"It's not so easy to get through the Wang family." Wang frowned thinking of this.

She would be more secure if she could have someone to rely on in the palace, but her elder brother had gone through several times with Wang Qingduan, the minister of the Ministry of War, but they were all specious, and there was no definite answer.

"If it can't be done, won't the aunt and wife blame my aunt..."

"If you leave this room, you will forget about it!"

Wang's threatening voice made Qiansha's heart tighten.

Qiansha lowered her head, "Yes, this servant has remembered!"

Could it be that the Wang family can't do this at all?So... she still wants to hide it?Are you going to use Jiang Shilian for something?

Wang ignored Qiansha, and she suddenly thought of the eldest son mentioned in Jiang Shilian's letter.

This Jiang Shilian married into the He family for more than ten years and has not given birth to a son. The He family has only such a concubine. If it wasn't for the sake of the Jing'an Hou Mansion in Luoyang, the biological mother of the concubine would have supported his wife long ago.

Wang shi lowered her eyes and sighed. If her son Jiang Jin was the only son of Lord Hou, then she could be tougher.

It's a pity that there is still a son-in-law in the mansion, and Jiang Jinyan is protecting him to death, so she probably won't even be able to touch him!
That slut of the Fang family can't die cleanly, and he still wants to leave such a debt collector behind!

With a wave of Wang's hand, the hot tea was poured on Qiansha who was waiting at the table.

Qiansha clutched the back of her scalded hand, gritted her teeth and did not cry out.

"Isn't it time to tidy up? This nanmu table can't stand the heat." Mrs. Wang glanced at her angrily.

Qiansha quickly lowered her head and removed the teacup, then wiped the table clean.

After tidying up the spilled tea, Qiansha bowed and backed out.

"Qiansha, what is my mother doing?"

Jiang Jinqian hesitated at the door for a moment, and when she saw Qiansha coming out, she quickly grabbed her.

"The servant has met the second young lady, my aunt, she..."

"Come in."

Qiansha was hesitating about how to reply when Wang's voice came from inside.

Only then did Jiang Jinqian step into the inner room.

"Mother, did the elder brother write a letter? Didn't the Cheng family's family study disappear? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Seeing that she looked calmer, Mrs. Wang smiled with satisfaction, "Perhaps something has delayed it, it's only these two days, and she will definitely be back."

Jiang Jinqian said with a smile: "Daddy always loves elder brother, when elder brother comes back, father will think of mother well."

Wang Shi smiled comfortably, "Qian'er is also much more sensible."

"Mother, cousin is really..."

I heard it was for entering the palace, so wouldn't that mean flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix?

"Your cousin is indeed coming to Luoyang to wait for a draft girl."

Jiang Jinqian's eyes lit up, "Then my cousin is going to be a nobleman."

Mrs. Wang pulled her to sit on the twig beside her, "Your aunt is not doing well in Dingzhou, if your cousin can enter the palace this time and get favored by the Holy One, then your aunt will be turned around in the He family. "

After carefully analyzing the pros and cons with her, I also thought that I should teach this daughter well.

Jiang Jinqian was obsessed with hearing it, he was well-clothed and well-fed, rich and luxurious, with three thousand pets all in one...

Jiang Jinqian hated her status as a concubine. Yes, she is a concubine, so she would not be selected in the draft.

After a moment of darkness, Jiang Jinqian raised his head and said, "Mother, when will my aunt and cousin come to our house?"

Wang said again: "It's only two days left, it's just that the eldest lady arranged for the Broken Rain Pavilion...it's not very convenient."

Broken Yuxuan is the closest courtyard to Wutong Garden, and Jiang Jinyan probably knows all the troubles.

Jiang Jinqian said unexpectedly: "She, Jiang Jinyan, can she still lock up mother?"

Wang's smile was full, "You, have you sent today's writing to your father for review?"

Jiang Jinqian nodded and said with a smile, "Daddy also said that my daughter's handwriting has become more charming."

As she said that, she smiled even more, "Daddy heard that Mother has been feeling unwell recently, and was very worried. I think Daddy will definitely come to Yicui Pavilion to see Mother in the next few days."

"You... ghost spirit."

Wang knew in her heart that Jiang Shiheng had received Jiang Shilian's letter.

If Jiang Shilian's daughter can have a good future in the palace, then the only person in Luoyang who can help her is her uncle Jing'an Hou?

At this time, I still hope to get a way from myself.

This matter is handled well, but I have a lot of benefits and no harm...

At this time, in the bamboo forest side courtyard of Duke Anguo's mansion, Xu Junyan raised his head and looked at the guy from Yutong's pawn shop who came to deliver the message.

"You mean Miss Jiang rescued a private school teacher at the door of the pawnshop today?" Xu Junyan lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

He chuckled, this girl still has the leisure to save the scholar who was bullied on the street?
"Isn't it? I also heard that Miss Jiang asked that scholar to go to Jing'an Hou Mansion in three days."

Xu Junyan was slightly stunned, how easily did she trust a scholar whom she had never met by the side of the road?
But she was always wary of herself, and constantly alienated.

He laughed at himself helplessly, "Go and check, this scholar's identity and family background, after checking clearly, if there is anything dirty, then let's deal with it."

Seeing Xu Junyan's motionless figure, the guy shivered.

How come the master is merciless when Miss Jiang gets involved in everything.

"Yes, little one understands."

After the people left, the study room fell silent again, and Xu Junyan raised his head to look at the four hanging paintings, plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.

They are all excellent works in form and spirit that stand out vividly on paper.

But he didn't quite understand why he took the painting, how could it be related to her, he lost his usual calmness...

Just like this painting, just because she owned it, he didn't want it to fall into the hands of others.

At this time, a young servant hurried into the side courtyard of the bamboo grove and said anxiously: "Third young master! There is a messenger from the palace! The master wants you to go immediately!"
