Chapter 69

Li Yuan was so sad that he was sick for five whole days.

Jiang Jinyue couldn't get rid of this disease by giving him acupuncture and prescribing medicine, some things had to be gritted his teeth to get over it.

Jiang Jinyue took the children for a walk as usual, going to talk to the old lady for a while, and pondering over her banknotes for a while.

She bought an empty house in the north and south of the capital, one in the downtown area, and one in the so-called haunted house. When Jiang Jinyue sneaked out to look at the house in the evening, she happened to find that the haunted house was the one where Li Zongyu was rescued last time. The place that was blown flat by the explosives in her bosom, the governor of the capital really couldn't figure out why the house could be blown up flat, so the report only said that it was a haunted house haunted by ghosts.

Jiang Jinyue took the house easily with very little money.

After spending half of the money, Jiang Jinyue was not in a hurry, so he left the two courtyards empty, only took the deed and left it alone.

Jiang Song's disposal was delayed again and again, and finally it was too late, and Su Ruoshui and Jiang Qingge bid farewell with tears in their eyes.

When Steward Gou came to report the news, Jiang Jinyue was having dinner in the old lady's room.

Maybe it was not so peaceful when Jiang Song left. Jiang Youcai put him down and tied him up at night, so he didn't let everyone see him off, but quietly carried him out through the back door.

Jiang Jinyue wanted to laugh, holding a steamed bun, she turned her head and asked the old lady.

"Grandma, does grandma know how many people the second elder brother took with him when he left?"

The old lady tore off a piece of sourdough bread and looked over with a smile.

"I went to inquire the day before yesterday, and there were sixteen of them, more than all of us in the yard. The wheels of the carriage will leave deep marks on the ground."

Jiang Jinyue smiled.

The old lady smiled and shook her head.

"It's good for you."

"That's right, second elder brother's character, no one will restrain him in the village, I'm afraid there will be disasters."

Jiang Jinyue spread the egg sauce on the steamed bun, took a bite and continued.

"Actually, my mother's vision is not very good, and Jiang Youcai's vision is also very poor. Among the several aunts, one of the worst people was picked out. Su Ruoshui is greedy for vanity, has a lot of thoughts, is short-sighted, and stupid." very."

"People are stupid because they are a little bit stupid, but the victory lies in being willing to get out."

The old lady sneered, put down her chopsticks and continued.

"When Jiang Youcai was the son-in-law of my marquis's house, although he was the second-best man with some talents, he was a mercenary and a wimp. An outhouse with an unjust name? Su Ruoshui dared to find this place from the south of the Yangtze River alone. Jiang Youcai carried all of us behind his back and raised him for several years. He even gave birth to a daughter and two sons in front of your mother. .”

"In that case, we have to praise Su Ruoshui for his good eyesight?"

Jiang Jinyue pouted.

The old lady laughed, and tapped Jiang Jinyue's forehead.

"I'm here to tell you not to just look at people on the surface."

"Ah."

Jiang Jinyue took another bite of the steamed bun, carefully dug out a chopstick of meat sauce and put it on the steamed bun at the old lady's hand.

The old lady smiled, picked up the steamed bun and stared at Jiang Jinyue for a long time.

"What is Yue girl thinking?"

"I'm thinking, how to break up this pair."

Jiang Jinyue's words were straightforward, which made the old lady laugh out loud, pointing at Jiang Jinyue and shaking her head.

"You ah you..."

After a pause, the old lady put the steamed buns that she couldn't eat into the plate, and said next to Jiang Jinyue.

"There are seven aunts in the house."

Jiang Jinyue's eyes flashed, and she blinked at the old lady.

The old lady took the chopsticks, dipped them in the soup, and wrote a word in the empty space of the table.

"summer".

"This is?"

"This is mine, but after entering the mansion, we have never seen each other on the surface, and we are not favored. If you want to break up the pair, you can start from here."

Jiang Jinyue looked at the old lady with admiration, and threw herself to the ground in admiration.

"Grandma, why are you so powerful?"

The old lady's vision, this heart, if a man is not trapped in the courtyard, he should be a character who can kill the Quartet.

The old lady smiled and wiped the table with a silk handkerchief. She was already full and put down her chopsticks.

Jiang Jinyue leaned over like a puppy, and asked suddenly when she remembered something.

"Grandma, there's one thing I've never understood."

"Well, you said."

Mother Wang brought the washbasin to clean the old lady's hands.

Jiang Jinyue also put down his chopsticks.

"Grandmother has ruled the Hou Mansion for so many years, why did she just pretend to be sick and live in seclusion?"

In fact, according to the old lady's methods, if there was a real fight, Jiang Youcai and Su Ruoshui combined would not be enough for the old lady to abuse her twice.

The old lady glanced over.

"Shouldn't I ask you this? When you were so close to the mother and daughter, you only thought that my old lady was a bad person."

Jiang Jinyue smiled embarrassingly, and took a bite of the white steamed bun like a little hamster.

"If I'm still in control of Hou's mansion, and you don't take precautions against the mother and daughter, your life will be even more difficult. I thought at the time, let's just forget it. Maybe the Bai family is exhausted. It’s all about keeping your life safe for the rest of your life.”

Thinking about it carefully, it is true that everything the old lady does now is for Jiang Jinyue and the two children in the final analysis. Entrusting something to her will only lead to disaster in the end.

If a person doesn't even have any hope, he can only go back to the hermitage and don't ask about everything.

After dinner, it was getting late, Jiang Jinyue took the two children and planned to leave the old lady's courtyard.

Before going out, the old lady suddenly asked.

"Why did you keep that girl in your yard?"

Jiang Jinyue was taken aback, what the old lady was talking about was Li Yuan. Li Yuan had been ill for several days and hardly left the room. According to the old lady's personality, even when she didn't know if a servant was sincere, the servant was still passive. Sabotage, I am afraid that I have long thought of selling it.

"The little girl is very poor. She has no parents and no mother. I'll see you after a few days of illness. The main reason is that the girl knows a few tricks. It's also good to accompany Zili."

"That's not bad."

The old lady nodded, and then said.

"You have too loose control over the servants. There are few people now, so it's okay for you to be like this. In the future, there will be many people with mixed hands. I'm afraid it will take a little thought. If it should be a lady, it should be a servant."

"I know, grandma."

The old lady was still worried about Jiang Jinyue's going to live in the royal family in the future. She knew that her time was passing day by day, and she wished that all her connections and ideas would be taught to Jiang Jinyue.

When Jiang Jinyue came out of the old lady's courtyard, for some reason, her heart softened.

It's great to have a family member who is thinking about and wholeheartedly treating me.
