self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 98

An Jiamu came over and looked at the auntie coldly: "Have you forgotten what you have done? For you, the Lord has already done his utmost benevolence."

The aunt shrank subconsciously: "I, I didn't do anything?"

Seeing An Ran suddenly, he said bitterly: "Master must have listened to what this cheap girl said. Lan'er has been with you for so many years, don't tell me you still don't know Lan'er's heart? You won't dislike Lan'er, send Lan'er out, and let Xing'er, a dead slave, spoil you, it's not this lowly girl, why did Lan'er end up like this..." She said with tears streaming down her face, very pitiful.

However, An Jiamu was not moved at all. In the past, in his eyes, she was just an ordinary woman in the mansion, and he never took it to heart. Now he knows more about the things she did. After so many years, how could she live in such a calm state, she snorted, ignored her aunt, and instead looked at Xing'er who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed: "Say, what are you doing in the capital?"

Xing'er only now understands that he has been in An Mansion for so many years, so how could the Elder Master know his methods? Who can get advantage from the Elder Master, let alone kidnapping the Young Master? Ah, if it wasn't for the slut, my aunt, who kept mumbling in my ear, brainwashing me, and hooking me with money, how could I be so confused and move around for so many years.

If you don't come here to provoke the Eldest Master, you definitely won't end up in this situation. I hate the Eldest Aunt in my heart, and I know An Jiamu's methods quite well, so I don't dare to lie, and hurriedly said: "Mr. This woman was uneasy and well-intentioned, she killed two young masters together with Mrs. Xie, saying that Mrs. Xie had a fault in her hands, and urged the younger one to come to the capital with her, looking for Mrs. Xie to extort some money.

I don't want to, but this woman is determined to deceive the younger one. After entering the capital, she said that Xie's power is now lost, and she is uncomfortable. How can she have a few coins in her hand? The old man was extorting ten or twenty thousand silver, and he went away from now on, and the younger one persuaded her to come, but this woman just refused, and insisted on dragging the younger one to another courtyard to wait for the two young masters, Haosi Haoyu, saying that she had her own way to make it happen. this matter.

The two young masters were stopped that day. At first, they wanted to convince Hao Si to hate the old master and wife, so as to get the young master out, but Master Hao Si said that the uncle and aunt were kind and treated them well. There was no way out, so he came up with a second poisonous plan, pretending to be pitiful and saying that he wanted to see the child.

Master Haosi was young and soft-hearted, he was coaxed by her, and today, taking advantage of the busy wedding in Anfu, let us pretend to be servants of Shangshufu to sneak in. "

As she spoke, she still gritted her teeth: "But this woman has a vicious heart. When she saw the young master, she stretched out her hand and wanted to strangle him to death. It's not that the little one saw what she meant and snatched the young master away. Now the young master is afraid She is already dead, I am afraid that this woman will do something to the young master again, she came out from An Mansion, she has been protecting the young master, and was thinking about finding a chance to take the young master back tomorrow, but when she didn't think so, the elder master came."

Pfft... Lin Xing'er couldn't help being happy, and pointed at him: "You are really a talent, according to what you say, all the faults are hers, but you yourself have become a good person."

The auntie was also very angry, and said, "You are talking nonsense, if you hadn't been in collusion with Hua Guzi, taking my body, not doing business and gambling like your life, you would have lost all the savings in my hand and the yard! If I go out, I will have no way of life, why should I deceive you to come to Beijing, Xing'er, you are a beast, you will die a bad death."

But Xing'er said: "Auntie, no matter how bad Xing'er is, I don't dare to harm my little master. You keep saying that you have served the old man for so many years, but what have you done? Don't think that you can hide what you did with Miss Hua for a lifetime. Now The Xie family is locked up, what good can you do, it is not that you and Hua Guzi took off the clothes from the dead child who caught the plague, put them together with new fabrics, and then used this fabric to make clothes for the two young masters , How could the two young masters die young, you are a monk and a aunt in the house, but you did such an outrageous thing, you deserve to die."

Not to mention that An Jiamu's eyes were about to burst, even the others present felt chills when they heard it. Although house fights were inevitable, such vicious people were rare. Moreover, they finally understood why Mrs. Xie was imprisoned in Zhuangzi. Speaking of which, the Eldest Master is really kind.

This Mrs. Xie not only put medicine in the fragrant pancakes, made the old man cut off his children and grandchildren, but also killed the two young masters. Heart.

Although An Jiamu knew that Mrs. Xie was hooking up with his aunt and killed his two sons, he didn't know that they died like this, and no matter what, they were his own flesh and blood. It's really abhorrent for a bitch to use such tricks.

The worst thing is, with my rare kindness, I let her go. This bitch couldn't reflect on herself, but instead tried her best to hurt Dudu again. Thinking of how bad this bitch had thought about Dudu, An Jiamu wished he could put her to death. She peeled and cramped, her face was as cold as an arctic glacier, and she spat out two words: "Bitch."

The aunt seemed to be crazy, and she laughed: "Bitch? The old man scolded so lightly. In the old man's heart, except for the cheap girl An Ran, we women are probably ignorant bitches. In the heart of the master, we have never seen us women as human beings at all. Even the cats and dogs raised by the master are better than us, at least they can get the occasional favor of the master, but we, except waiting every day, every day Hope, what else is there, the Elder Master still pays for women one by one, the women in the entire Anfu have no means and no thoughts, if Anran, this lowly girl, has no thoughts and means, and climbs up to the house while the Elder Master is drunk and drunk. How could she be the eldest lady in the eldest master's bed?"

An Ran handed the child into the hands of the maid, and looked at the auntie: "Although I don't remember the past, if this matter hadn't been set up by the auntie to get rid of this silly girl, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy. thing."

The auntie looked at her for a long time, and laughed twice: "I only blame me for making a mistake in chess. I had a little kindness that day, and I only let you, a bitch, lose your hair to the outside kitchen, so that you have a chance to stand up. Knowing today, I should have called Ren Yazi in and sold you to a kiln."

A hint of kindness?An Ran shook her head: "Auntie, what are you hiding now? How can you have any kind thoughts? The reason why you didn't sell An Ran was because you were concerned about the Elder Master. I am afraid that the Elder Master will think of me and blame you. It's time, why bother to say such beautiful words against your will, what do you expect to do?"

The auntie froze for a moment, glanced over An Jiamu, and saw the deep hatred in his eyes, as if she was an extremely disgusting person. For so many years, she had always hoped that this man would see her in his eyes, even a little A drop, even a tiny bit is enough, but what she sees is always faint.

, even in the most intimate moment on the bed, she still felt that this man was far, far away from her, so far away that she couldn't reach her, so far away that she would never be able to have it in her life.

But now, he finally saw himself in his eyes, but it was loathing, deep loathing, for a moment, even the aunt herself wondered if she had something to do with this man, otherwise, how could it be so, this bitch That's right, what else do I expect? Could it be that at this point, I still hope that this man will treat me based on his past affection? I am wrong, this man has no affection for me at all.

Seeing her confused expression, An Ran took two steps forward. An Jiamu was startled, and hurriedly stopped her: "Be careful."

An Ran shook her head at him, the two of them made eye contact for a moment, and they understood each other's intentions.

An Jiamu let her go, but he was on guard all over his body, staring fixedly at An Ran, not daring to relax for a moment. All this fell into the eyes of the auntie, which aroused her full of jealousy and hatred.

She looked at An Ran with resentment: "It's all about you, it's all about you, a lowly girl, if it weren't for you, I would still be the aunt of the An Mansion, enjoying all the glory and wealth, and being well-clothed and well-fed, I definitely wouldn't be in this situation ,It's all you……"

An Ran nodded: "You're right, it's all because of me, auntie, you obviously hate me so much, what did you do to point a knife at Hao Si, he's just an innocent child, to bring you to this point I am An Ran, the dagger in your hand should be pointing at me, wouldn't it be good for me to come here instead of Hao Si."

Auntie is now flustered, her mind is full of hatred, she can hardly distinguish the current situation, she feels that what An Ran said is that the person she hates is this lowly girl, so what's the use of killing Hao Si, the dagger in her hand But still approached Hao Si's neck a little bit, drawing a line of blood, but in an instant, the bright red blood dripped down, and the auntie stared at An Ran: "Stay back."

An Ran was startled, and hurriedly took a step back, the aunt laughed twice in a shrill voice: "You are all kind-hearted, this is not your son, Mrs. Xie almost harmed you, but you are hypocritical, treating her The son is still so nervous, it is for the Elder Master to see, you are really more scheming than me, no wonder you can marry the Elder Master, don’t worry, I will not kill him now, but if you don’t If you are obedient, you can't say for sure, don't you want to replace him, don't take me for a fool, Chef An has a sharp dagger in his waist, but everyone knows it."

It was only then that An Ran realized that she was jealous of the dagger in her waist, so she raised her hand and pulled the dagger out of her waist, throwing it far away, and raised her hand: "That's fine."

"Daughter-in-law..." An Jiamu couldn't help but speak.

It's good that he doesn't make a sound, but when he makes a sound, my aunt hates it even more, daughter-in-law?Has the elder master ever called anyone with such intimate words, even the first two elder ladies have never done so before, and the worry in his eyes is so obvious, almost all his thoughts are on this bitch girl, even if he is not good Die, I'm going to bring this cheap girl with me today.

Thinking of this, he said sinisterly: "Come here, other people are not allowed to move. If anyone moves, don't blame me for being rude. If the knife in my hand misses the point, Master Haosi's life and death will be ignored."

An Ran walked forward step by step, and when she was in front of her, An Ran suddenly stopped, glanced at Hao Si slightly, and looked at Auntie: "Auntie, do you think I am a monster, do you think that I am with you? Is An Ran different from before?"

Auntie looked at her suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly asked this.

An Ran continued: "I'll tell you the truth today, do you want to hear it or not, but I'm not the An Ran you know at all."

While the auntie was in a daze, she suddenly felt that Hao Si in her arms turned her head and bit her arm fiercely. At the same time, An Ran quickly took the knife from her hand, and An Jiamu kicked it in the air. Kicking her out, Auntie flew up like a kite with a broken string and hit the wall behind her, she immediately passed out, and the guards came over and tied her up.

Auntie's knife just woke up Hao Si because of the pain. It was precisely because An Ran saw Hao Si's wink that she held up Auntie with words, and the two cooperated to snatch the knife from Auntie's hand.

An Ran hugged Hao Si in her arms, checked his wound, and felt a little scared in her heart. If the knife in Auntie's hand was a little bit deeper, the consequences would be disastrous. It's all right, it's really luck, and the servant woman is asked to carry him down and apply medicine.

Glancing at the comatose aunt on the ground, I remembered that when I saw her, she was a woman with a bright face despite her ulterior motives, but now she was in such a mess, and asked Lin Xing'er, "Can you wake her up?"

Lin Xing'er nodded: "What's so difficult about it?" She took off the needle bag from her waist, pulled out a thin needle, and stuck it through the middle of the person, almost immediately Auntie woke up with a groan.

As soon as she woke up, she looked at An Ran bitterly: "You bitch, you really have deep scheming, you even lied to me, don't get complacent too early, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go."

An Ran shook her head: "You are really obsessed with obsession. The reason why I wake you up is because I want to say a few words to you. I saved Haosi, not because of your hypocrisy. This is the most basic moral bottom line for us to be human. Even today It's not Hao Si, it's an irrelevant child, and I will still do it.

Auntie, the biggest failure of your life is to calculate everything. When you were in Anfu, you calculated to fight for favor. In order to win a man, you can attack innocent children. You keep saying that you have served Jiamu for so many years, and you expect him to read Letting you off because of past affection, why don't you think about it, those things you did, the two children you killed were Jiamu's own flesh and blood, so they should call you aunt for Jiamu's sake, Just aiming at this auntie, how could you be cruel to do such a murderous thing.

You resent me for taking away Jiamu in your heart, and feel that it is because of me that you have ended up where you are today. Why don't you think about the things you have done, how many lives you have in your hands, and you will never let me go even if you are a ghost. But I thought about what would happen if they became ghosts. In fact, you are no longer a human being. The evil thoughts in your heart have already turned you into an evil ghost. You are an evil ghost in the world, and you will never be reborn forever. "

"You bitch, bitch, you're talking nonsense..." Auntie seemed to be crazy, struggling to rush over, but her hands and feet were tied up by the guards, and she couldn't move, so she could only curse fiercely: "Bitch!" Girl, cheap girl..."

An Ran shook her head, this person is hopeless, and he still doesn't know how to repent.

Lin Xing'er thought she was noisy, once the needle was inserted, she immediately fell silent, no matter how much she shouted, she couldn't make a sound.

An Jiamu supported An Ran, not bothering to look at his aunt: "Go back, let them take care of it here."

An Ran nodded, took Dudu from the servant woman's hand, hugged her in her arms, and the couple left the small temple. When they reached the door, An Ran couldn't help but look back. A woman like Da Yi Niang has been plotting for a lifetime. Falling into this kind of fate, although deserved, is also sad.

If it weren't for the ancient system of three wives and four concubines, maybe she wouldn't have become so inhumane. An Ran always believed that human nature is good, and she also always believed that kindness can dissolve all evil thoughts, but in the case of the aunt, she Only jealousy and evil thoughts.An Ran couldn't imagine that a person could live peacefully after killing two innocent children. Wouldn't she have nightmares and feel guilty?

An Jiamu seemed to know what she was thinking, reached out to take the child, and said in a low voice: "Where there is good, there is evil. This is the world, and the law of reincarnation, good and evil are rewarded, as long as they are evil, they will not escape retribution in the end." , Moreover, it is a good thing that Dudu has such a catastrophe. I have thought about this since he was born. The boy was born too well, with a fat head and big ears, no disease and no disaster.

There is a mother who is the number one chef in the world, who will nominate to eat delicious food in the world in the future, and has a father who can make money. Mr. Mei is the leading Confucian in our Dayan, he also has a genius doctor as a godmother, two uncles who love him to the bone, and two cousins. This kid is so smooth, there is a saying It is said that Huiji will be hurt. I am afraid that our children will have too much, and God will look down on it. Now that we have this difficulty, it is a good time to rush. "

As a modern person, An Ran doesn't believe in these things, and seeing An Jiamu's serious words, she couldn't help but want to laugh, but she didn't laugh in the end. After being married for so long, An Ran knows that this man's temperament belongs to the eyes of the heart. A very small person, if he laughs at this moment, he may not know how to retaliate later.

And this man's method of retaliation will always be that thing, his current body can't help him toss, but the corners of his lips still can't help but slightly upturned, suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly said: "It's bad, today But Jiayan and Mannia's good life, something like this has happened, but all the good things have been disturbed, and Mannia must feel uncomfortable."

An Jiamu shook her head: "This is also a helpless thing. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? If she really wanted to marry Jiayan, why would she care about these things? After all, getting married is just a formality, just like what happened back then. We were in Qizhou, didn't we make any big arrangements, we just simply set up a few tables."

An Ran smiled: "It's different. At that time, you were just a servant of the Mei Mansion, and I was just a cook, so I didn't need to make a fuss. Moreover, the kitchen company in Qizhou held a wedding banquet on the long street, and it was widely spread. Our marriage is extremely lively, and now that Mannia is the daughter of the Shang Shufu, and Jiayan is also an official to the servant of the Ministry of Officials, this marriage should not be too shabby."

An Jiamu: "What's shabby? Let me ask Quan Dayan, who can hold a wedding banquet in Yashe except Jiayan. This wedding banquet is more beautiful than anyone else."

They talked and went back to An Mansion. When they came back, it was already dark. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw Haosi Haoyu kneeling in the yard, beside Jiayan with a livid face and an anxious expression, Mannia kept walking around the two children, because both of them were wearing wedding clothes, the picture looked a bit weird, but there was also an unspeakable warmth.

When Jiayan saw his eldest brother and sister-in-law approaching, he also knelt on the ground. As soon as he knelt down, Mannia also knelt down: "Brother..." He yelled "Brother", but couldn't continue.

An Jiamu stretched out his hand to help him up: "What are you doing, Haosi Haoyu is still young, and my aunt is getting close to their mother, so I can't blame them for being coaxed by that bitch. Calamity, fortunately there is no danger."

Haoyu knelt for a long time, hungry and sleepy, and his uncle always loved them, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle, Haoyu's leg hurts, can you get up first?" But seeing the expression in his father's eyes, he flinched in fright and stopped. said.

An Jiamu shook his head, picked Haoyu up, and opened his trouser legs. Seeing that his knees were blue, he hurriedly asked An Yuan to invite the doctor.

Mannia glanced at Jiayan secretly, and said in a low voice: "The doctor is here, I sent someone to show Haosi's wound, but..." She pursed her lips and remained silent.

An Jiamu glared at his younger brother: "It's such a big deal, it's worth making it so difficult for the child, what does the child know, it's all the adult's fault." Holding Haoyu and leading Haosi into the room, he asked the doctor to show it to the two of them. hurt.

After taking the medicine for a while, Haoyu was already lying in Mannia's arms and fell asleep, but Haosi knelt on the ground again, lowering his head: "Uncle, Haosi was wrong."

An Jiamu looked at him for a while: "Do you know what's wrong?"

Hao Si raised his head: "Hao Si's mistake is that he shouldn't trust outsiders. He was moved by her words, and brought her in without thinking deeply, so that he led wolves into the house and almost caused a catastrophe."

An Jiamu nodded: "Your aunt said that human nature is good. I believe this, but the human heart is the most unpredictable. Even if human nature is good, it will turn into evil thoughts due to various encounters. Therefore, you must not have the intention of harming others. Human heart is indispensable, you need to think twice before you encounter things in the future, think about what the purpose of this person telling you these things is, and what good it is for her, so you won't be fooled."

Hao Si nodded: "Yes, Hao Si understands."

An Jiamu patted his head reassuringly: "I've been frightened all day, go to sleep."

As soon as An Jiamu finished speaking, there was a gurgling sound. Hao Si clutched his stomach, his face flushed.

Only then did An Jiamu remember that the child had been hungry all day. Looking at An Ran, An Ran smiled and said, "I'll go and make some food for Hao Si."

Just as she was about to leave, she heard Mannia say: "Sister-in-law is busy with wedding banquets and saving the children. She must be very tired. Although Mannia is a poor cook, it's okay to make bowls of noodles for the children. Sister-in-law should go back soon." Dudu is important, I will leave this to Mannia."

An Ran nodded, glanced at Jiayan, and dragged Jiamu to the inner house.

After entering the house, Anran hugged Dudu and nursed him. The little guy fell asleep. Anran went to the kitchen to cook. The couple hadn't eaten anything since noon.

It was late at night and I didn't do anything too complicated, so I ordered two bowls of noodles, brought them over, and the couple ate, An Ran asked someone to clean up, and brought tea in, only to find that after such a short time, An Jiamu ran into the house to see his son again went.

An Ran walked to the door, raised the curtain and looked in, and saw the man who usually complained about his son, lying on the bedside, staring at his son without blinking, the same as when he was saving his son in the small temple. Calm, he was calm and stable when he first taught Hao Si, but now there is no trace, his face is full of distress and fear.

At this time, he is no longer the usual powerful and domineering man, he is the most ordinary father.

An Ran lowered the curtain lightly, not intending to disturb him, even a strong man is vulnerable sometimes, as a wife, she should just pretend not to know at this time, and she couldn't help but think of Mannia.

She is Jiayan's good match. Maybe her wedding night was a bit nondescript, but An Ran believes that because of this, Jiayan will feel guilty for her even more, and Jiayan will also see her love for Haosi Haoyu. In my eyes, with the comparison with the previous Xie, Jiayan must have already had a preliminary liking for Mannia, and the liking plus guilt can easily develop feelings. I have to say that Mannia is really a smart woman.

An Ran's guess was right. Seeing Mannia coming in with a hot face, Jiayan was in a daze for a moment, and her eyes fell on her unconsciously. Mannia was not very beautiful, but her bookish air made her have a kind of Unique elegance.

Jiayan knew that she was a well-known talented woman, and he had read her poems. The ancients said that poetry expresses ambition, and it can be seen from her poems that she is a person of noble character.

Originally, I thought that she would be proud of her talents and have no dust in her eyes, but today it was far beyond my expectations.

Speaking of it, this matter has nothing to do with her, she can hide in the new house without getting involved, what's more, according to the custom, it is unlucky for her to come out before she goes in and lifts the red hijab, but she is not He cared, and he was quite good at getting along with the two children.

He clearly knows that she has never been married, let alone have children, but from her, he sees the gentleness of a mother, which is more genuine than Xie's.

She was very careful, and not only served Haosi's noodles, but also her own. In addition to the noodles, she also mixed two refreshing side dishes, put the noodles on the table, and handed the chopsticks to the two fathers: "Mannia is not good at cooking, I can't Compared with my sister-in-law, this is the dan dan noodle I learned when I was in Sichuan, you two should just eat some."

Jiayan took the chopsticks and paused: "Why don't you eat?"

Mannia: "I just ate some snacks with Haoyu, and I'm not hungry."

Jiayan nodded, and took a bite of the noodles. It was unexpectedly delicious. Naturally, it couldn't be compared with my sister-in-law. After all, there is only one sister-in-law in the world, and this bowl of noodles in my own mouth is also called a delicacy. The noodles are fine, The topping on the top is a fragrant meat sauce stew. My bowl is a little spicy, but Haosi's is not, which shows that I have put my heart into it.

Hao Si ate up the whole bowl and couldn't help saying, "It's really delicious."

Mannia laughed, "It's rare that Hao Si likes it."

Hao Si glanced at her, then at his father, and stood up: "Father..." After a while, he called out in a low voice: "Mother, I'm going back to the house."

Jiayan was taken aback for a moment, but Mannia blushed, and turned away in embarrassment.

Jiayan coughed: "Go, copy the book ten times before you can sleep."

Hao Si nodded: "Yes, Hao Si resigns."

When he went out, Mannia said: "Why did you let the child copy so many books at such a late hour? Turning around, your eyesight will be broken."

Jiayan glanced at her, stood up, and took a few steps outside, seeing that she was not moving, she couldn't help turning her head: "You plan to fail to sleep here."

An Yuan's family hurriedly said: "It's not early, and it's time for the master and wife to settle down."

Manniang's pretty face was flushed with a single sentence, although she could face Haosi Haoyu freely, after all, she was a girl who had never left the court, and she would inevitably feel ashamed when this matter was mentioned, but she also followed behind Jiayan, and the couple kept a close eye on each other. Back to the new house one after the other.

The Anyuan family is also clever, although it is late, what should be done is still the same, spread the curtain, recite the happy song... After all the links are over, they congratulate the two newcomers and call the waiter from the new house Go out, leaving only two people sitting opposite each other.

The hijab on Mannia's head hadn't been lifted yet, so she waited for a while, but she didn't see him making a move, she couldn't help but look over through the red gauze, and saw him staring at her, wondering what she was looking at, thinking that she still had to behave like this now What to do, just about to reach out to take off his hijab, but he didn't want Jiayan to pick it away with a scale first.

Looking at each other for a long time, Jiayan hesitated and said, "Have we met somewhere?"

Mannia: "You, I remembered."

Jiayan was stunned: "Have we really met?"

Mannia's face darkened slightly, she thought about the person she had missed for so many years, and she even forgot herself, but she thought again, how could he remember these things when she met only once, and only seeing her familiar face, it was already a coincidence, he Don't remember what to be afraid of, as long as you don't remember it.

Thinking of this, he said, "Master, do you still remember that when you went to Beijing for the exam, you rescued a pair of master and servant who were intercepted and molested by hooligans near Zhenbaozhai?"

As soon as she said it, Jiayan remembered it. At that time, he was studying poetry and books at home every day, and he rarely went out. That day, Zhenbaozhai had a new book, and the shopkeeper asked someone to deliver a letter to him. However, I didn't want to meet a few hooligans who molested women from good families, how could I stand by and help out.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help saying: "Could it be that girl is Miss."

Mannia nodded, "It's Mannia."

As he said that, his face became more and more red, but he still said: "After returning to the mansion that day, I asked more about the young master, and wanted my father to come to the door to thank me personally, but I didn't want to, but there was no news of the young master. , Mannia took a look from a distance, and then recognized that Zhuangyuan Lang was the son who rescued Mannia that day, and he was also the second master of the An family, and was about to tell his father, but caught up with the great joy of the son and the Xie family."

As he spoke, he bit his lip.

No matter how stupid Jiayan is, I can understand it. No wonder the dignified Shangshu Qianjin is willing to marry me to be a child. It turns out that there is such a cause and effect, and I can't help but sigh inwardly. Today, maybe his wife will be Mannia, and there is no need to wrong her to be a child now.

Thinking of her fame, there must have been a lot of people asking for marriage over the years, but she rejected them one by one, just because he was thinking of himself, as a man, he had to be moved by her infatuation, and reached out to hold her hand : "I'm sorry, I let you down."

Mannia shook her head: "Master said these things, Mannia never complained, if she didn't know that the master stayed alone every night, Mannia would rather keep this heart from her forever, if the master lives happily and peacefully, even if Mannia What's the point of living alone."

Looking at her rippling eyes under the lamp, so gentle and amiable, falling on his heart, there are circles of ripples, which made his heart throbbing. He looked at her for a long time, whispered He said: "It is Jiayan's good fortune to be favored by Mannia. Don't worry, Jiayan will treat you well..."

Anyuan's house outside was pasted to the window. After listening to it for a while, he couldn't help nodding and laughing. Although something like this happened today, the two houses were turned upside down. After all, it didn't delay the happy event between the second master and the new wife. Well, it's a blessing in misfortune.

This night, one is feeling guilty, contemptuous of secret love, and the other is fulfilling long-cherished wish, tactful and happy, husband and wife get along well, Zhou Gong's ceremony, it is logical, Jiayan only feels that the woman in his arms is so happy everywhere, it is unexpectedly I have never felt so happy before, and I finally understand the feelings of the elder brother a little bit. No wonder the elder brother treats his sister-in-law so well. It turns out that if the husband and wife agree with each other, everything will be fine.

The two of them dared not snooze, got up early in the morning to freshen up, and came to An Mansion to serve tea to the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

An Ran, the sister-in-law, naturally had a meeting gift, so she asked the maid to bring over the small box she had prepared early in the morning and handed it to Mannia.

Mannia opened it, and after just one glance, she liked it very much. It was an orchid jade hairpin, crystal clear Hetian seed jade, exquisite carving, which showed the elegance and cleanness of the orchid to the fullest. This is the orchid hairpin of the Jin family.

Jiayan glanced at it, but was stunned for a moment. He immediately understood what the sister-in-law meant, that she regarded Mannia as the same as Mrs. Xie. Jealousy, I don't believe my sister-in-law can come up with such a precious hairpin.

From the very beginning, Mrs. Xie didn't pay much attention to her sister-in-law. It should be said that in her eyes, she had nothing but silver and family property. Even for her husband, she never cared about her. Those tenderness were just superficial illusions. He believed that if Mrs. Xie was allowed to choose by herself, she would rather choose to go back to her natal family to show off. Her virtuous reputation is all fake, and Mrs. Xie is actually a woman who is more vain than anyone else, and she is extraordinarily stupid.

An Ran kept the couple for breakfast, knowing that they were newlyweds, it was not good to stay longer, so she let them go after saying a few words.

When the couple came out from here, Jiayan glanced at the hairpin in Manniang's hand, afraid that she would not know the reason for it, and said in a low voice, "This orchid hairpin was also given to Mrs. Xie by my sister-in-law that day."

Mannia is so smart, Jiayan understood as soon as she said it, and nodded: "Don't worry, I will save it, but the orchid hairpins of the Jin family are not available in the market now, how can my sister-in-law take out two at will? "

Jiayan smiled: "Speaking of which, in Dayan, only my sister-in-law can let the old man of the Jin family make a move. I heard from my eldest brother that the old man of the Jin family ate a vegetarian meal made by his sister-in-law that day, and gave away one within a few days. The arrival of the orchid hairpin also made the Jin family jade jewelry sold in the elegant house, and because of this, the old man became an inseparable friend with Mr. Mingyue, a well-known official in the south of the Yangtze River.

Mr. Mingyue respects his sister-in-law very much. It was Mr. Mingyue who helped to sort out the southern dishes on Anji’s food list. My sister-in-law even wrote to ask Mr. Mingyue to promise to teach Haosi to study. She will not send it this year, but she will send Haosi to Suzhou next year. It is Haosi's good fortune to have a great Confucianist like Mr. Mingyue personally teach him.It's just that he's just getting started, and Shu Nian has only a half-knowledge, and I'm busy with business, so I don't have much time to take care of them. "

After saying that, he paused: "Now that you are here, you can just teach them."

Mannia said, "How can I be a husband as a woman?"

But Jiayan smiled: "You and I are husband and wife, Mannia, don't be modest, you have been talented since you were born, and I have read your poems many times. They are meaningful and beautiful, and my mouth is full of fragrance."

Mannia blushed because of his praise: "Master, go to the study by yourself, I'll go and have a look at Haosi Haoyu." Putting aside the good words, she turned around and ran away.

Jiayan was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, could it be that he said something wrong, what he said was from the bottom of his heart, and An Yuan's family behind him said in a low voice: "Second Master, the new lady is ashamed."

Only then did Jiayan understand, and he couldn't help laughing, it turned out that he was ashamed, and he thought he had said something wrong, although he was in a high position, he was really not good at speaking sweet words, what he only said was the truth.

In a blink of an eye, after three dynasties, Shangshu Mansion was extremely lively. Guo Zishan and his wife not only became father-in-law and mother-in-law, but also became grandfather and grandmother. The couple didn't even dare to think about it before, especially Mrs. Guo, who was worried since her daughter got married. , and what happened on the day of the wedding, I was really worried that my daughter would not be able to handle it.

But no matter how worried she was, she couldn't go to Anfu to have a look, so she had to wait patiently at home for the day when she would return home in three dynasties, and asked her daughter along the way.

Therefore, when I got up early in the morning, I kept looking outside until my mother-in-law came in and said, "Miss, uncle, two young masters." Could it be that Young Master Sun..."

Guo Zishan nodded: "Since my daughter is married, this child is our own grandson." He stroked his beard as he said, "Mannia is really a smart girl, and my years of teaching are worthwhile."

As he spoke, he saw a family of four walking in.

Jiayan and his wife first knelt down and kowtowed, and then let Haosi Haoyu kowtow, Mrs. Guo hurriedly hugged her, looking at this, looking at that, she couldn't like it in her heart, she had no children, so she accepted Mannia Such a girl, just married, has two big grandchildren, and she gave birth to such exquisite jade, how could she not be happy, so she hurriedly asked the servant to bring them some pastries.

Guo Zishan took a careful look at the two little fellows, saw that his wife was giving them one piece, without showing the slightest dislike, so he nodded secretly, following a mother like Mrs. Xie, these two children are not bad at teaching.

The two children are in the Anfu, and they are used to the dim sum made by their aunt, so their own dim sum must be incomparable.

After talking for a while, Guo Zishan took his two children and An Jiamu to the vegetable field at the back. The garden of Shangshu Mansion is a large vegetable field. Everyone in the capital knows it, but he usually grows it himself. Now that she brought her two grandsons there, she told Mrs. Guo to be very honest. She was about to stop her, but Mannia grabbed her and said, "Mother, let them go with daddy. My sister-in-law said, children can't stay bored in the house all the time. It’s better to run and jump outside more often.”

Mrs. Guo said in a low voice: "But your father called your son-in-law over, and asked Jiayan to carry water to work. Jiayan is the servant of the Ministry of Officials."

Mannia burst into laughter: "Maybe Mother has forgotten that Dad is still the Minister of Rites. Don't worry, Mother, Jiayan can handle it."

The two of them just sat down, Mrs. Guo took her daughter's hand and looked them up and down: "How is Jiayan treating you? The eldest lady is a rare kind person, but your uncle is said to be very domineering." , and love my brother, did you make things difficult for you?"

"What did you say, my uncle is fine too. Don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders. I see that my elder brother is very obedient to my sister-in-law. I have never seen such a loving couple."

Mrs. Guo said: "What about Jiayan, you haven't told mother yet, is Jiayan treating you well?"

Mannia blushed, lowered her head, and whispered after a while: "Jiayan is also kind to me, very considerate..."
