Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 1171 Spring March

  Spring is fleeting, and in a blink of an eye it is March. In this season when the peach blossoms are blooming, Jiang Muzheng gave birth to a daughter, named Liao Wantao.

On the day of Miss Wantao's third bath, Jiang Liu and Fifth Sister squeezed hand in hand in the crowd, craned their necks to carefully study the new crying red monkey added to the family for a long time, and finally found the right words to praise her, " Tao'er's voice is very loud and full of energy."

   Jiang Mujin stared at the sparse yellow hair on top of Wan Tao's head, and praised earnestly, "The hair is a lot more than when her brother washed three."

After entering the house and talking with the second sister for a while, he went to the eldest sister's house in the same lane for a turn. When Jiang Liu returned to Jiang's house, his father asked her, "What does your second sister's new baby look like? "

   Jiang Liu replied politely, "Very strong."

   Liao Fuchun, the son of Liao's father, was somewhat similar to his mother when he was one or two years old, but now he looks more and more like his father. The second sister gave birth to her daughter without detours this time, and was born like her father. Liao's mother looks very dignified, but the second brother-in-law has grown into such a simple and unpretentious appearance; the second sister is very beautiful, but the two children follow their father. Jiang Liu had to sigh that the genes of the Liao family were very powerful.

   has changed into the expression of Jiang Erye, who is dyed a little peach blossom spring shirt, the same as Jiang Liu. He secretly rejoiced that his two sons-in-laws were still in the past, and when he had a grandson, the children would not be too ugly to look like anyone else. Jiang Erye cheered up and asked, "The 18th female university has changed, and she will be beautiful when she grows up. Has your eldest sister been there yet?"

  The eldest sister, Jiang Murong, is four months pregnant. Jiang Liu took a sip of jasmine tea and said with a smile, "Eldest sister came with her two children. She looked very good. She said that she would come back for a few days and take the children to see peach blossoms."

This year, the peach blossoms in the courtyard are blooming very well, but the Jiang family will not hold a peach blossom banquet this year. First, because the second wife of the Jiang family, Ya Zheng, has just been diagnosed with a xi pulse, and needs to be in peace to raise the baby; second, because the Jiang family Erlang is next month To get married, the mansion is busy cleaning up the East Outer Court, preparing to arrange the marriage.

When   Ya was diagnosed with a ximai, she was so happy that Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were upset, but Jiang Muyan's grandmother, Mrs. Wang, was quite critical.

Jiang Muyan went back to visit her grandmother every month. When she went this time, Mrs. Wang asked why the Jiang family did not hold a peach blossom banquet this year. The Wang family wanted to let two girls of marriage age in the family go to the banquet. They are ready.

   Hearing her granddaughter say that Yazheng is pregnant again, Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable. She didn't say much, but only warned, "You must be careful when you go in and out. Don't bump into her and make your grandmother and father unhappy. There are only a few months left, and it will be over. The west courtyard is narrow, and your dowry can be put on it. Do you have to open it? The furniture in the wedding room cannot be exposed to the sun and rain, which is unlucky."

Eighteen-year-old Jiang Muyan shows elegance when she raises her hands and feet. Her father is a marquis, her family is harmonious, and her marriage is satisfactory, which makes her confident from the bottom of her heart. "The clothes are kept in the sister's room, and the large furniture in the west courtyard cannot fit. , put it in the wing of the Renfu inner courtyard, and there is a special person to take care of it."

  Ren Lingsheng was not in Kang'an, so Jiang Liu, the hostess who had not entered the house, had the final say in the Ren residence. Thinking of Jiang Liu, Mrs. Wang felt terribly stuck in her heart, and she coughed a few times before exhorting again, "How many cars has the dowry done now? The Liu family is a family of merchants. If your dowry is too small, the Liu family will tell you. Make irresponsible remarks. The dowry is the confidence and waist of a woman in her husband's family. Your father is the Marquis of Le An. Your dowry need not be compared to the dowry of your big sister. The more the better. Your grandmother also wants to add more dowry to you. , let you marry more decently, but you know the current situation of the Wang family, your grandmother can only give you a pair of blue and white eight-treasure flat bottles and two pairs of carved red sandalwood rectangular boxes..."

   Jiang Muyan interrupted her grandmother's words, "Grandmother, it is enough to have a blue and white eight-treasure flat vase. When my cousin and cousin are married, you just gave them a porcelain vase, and Yan'er can't take more."

   Mrs. Wang held her granddaughter's long and slender fingers and said with relief, "You still know the rules best. The concubine of the Jiang family's big house is getting married next month. Grandmother heard that the woman has married a lot of things?"

"It's just gossip. The second sister-in-law's dowry is similar to that of the eldest sister-in-law." Jiang Muyan replied, the second sister-in-law brought 100,000 taels of silver notes, three boxes of jewelry, and two carts of precious furs into Beijing, but her dowry was comparable to that of the eldest sister-in-law. The dowry of the eldest sister-in-law Yue Jinyi was arranged, and neither gold, silver, jewelry nor silver notes were included in the dowry list. Most of the fur was distributed by the second sister-in-law to various rooms of the Jiang family under various names, and the eldest aunt got the most.

   Yuan's family is reluctant to show off their dowry in a high-profile manner, so Jiang Muyan certainly won't talk too much.

When her granddaughter left, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but exhort, "Your mother is gone, grandmother has to ask a few more questions about some things. Can you choose a maid and a roommate? If you are a well-informed and reliable maid. Not enough, grandma has a few good ones here."

Jiang Muyan refused respectfully and politely, "Thank you for your grandmother's concern. The dowry has been chosen, four maids, and the Shuying family. The stewards of the eight shops and two farms have sold their deeds. Father Everything has been handed over to Yan'er."

Knowing that the eldest daughter is obsessed with the dowry, Jiang Erye spent 30,000 taels of silver to arrange the dowry for the eldest daughter, and also bought her two villages with hundreds of acres of fertile land. The dowry gift from the Liu family was also added. into the dowry. In addition to the silver taels that Jiang Muyan and Jiang Liu have opened shops and caravans in the past few years, Jiang Muyan's dowry is more than Yuan Xiayue's, and she is quite good at the royal family.

   Jiang Muyan's maid Shuying promised to be the steward of Jiang's house last year, and now she is the steward-in-law by Jiang Muyan's side. Liu Juntang's parents are not in Kang'an, and there is only Liu Juntang in the house. Jiang Muyan will take charge of the house after passing by, and she is the only mistress of the inner house, so there is no need to bring too many maids and servants. Jiang Muyan didn't need to bring the maid trained by her grandmother, because she didn't need it.

Seeing that her granddaughter should not respond, Mrs. Wang secretly sighed, and warned worriedly, "As the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Le'an, you must have your own ideas in your heart, and you should have no shortage of appearances, otherwise you will be punished. Others take it lightly."

   "No need to worry about your grandmother." Jiang Muyan raised her eyes and looked at her white-haired grandmother, "With a father supporting Yaner, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of Yaner, and no one can make Yaner feel wronged."

   Mrs. Wang was stunned for a long time before she said, "No one can make you feel wronged now, but you don't have the support of your own brothers, after all..."

Jiang Muyan said firmly, "Grandmother, Yan'er will never forget who her mother is, but Liulang and Qilang are his father's direct sons, and Yan'er's direct brothers, they will support Yan'er in the future, except for two Younger brother, Yan’er and Liu’er can still support each other, so you don’t have to worry. Yan’er will be filial to your mother and take good care of you.”

   Looking at the back of her granddaughter leaving, Mrs. Wang let out a long sigh and murmured, "Qinghe, of the two daughters you gave birth to with your life, none of your hearts are towards our Wang family..."
