Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 190 The man hiding behind the door

After    defeated Meng Erlang and Meng Saburo, Jiang Saburo felt that his life had reached an unprecedented height. When he went to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices in the afternoon, he walked up and down, and the corners of his mouth reached the back of his head. After the father and uncles came out of the ancestral hall, it happened that the Meng family also came out from the ancestral hall of the Meng family. The two families were both moved from Quanzhou, and the ancestral halls were built very close. Everyone worshipped their ancestors in the afternoon, so it was inevitable that they would encounter each other.

  The two adults didn't say anything when they met. Jiang Saburo saw Meng Saburo and raised his hand happily and said, "Hey, Bie Sun, are you here too?"

   Meng Saburo jumped up immediately, but was pinned down by Meng Tingwan and dragged him forward. Meng Saburo was not convinced, turned around and waved his fist at Jiang Saburo, opening his mouth to curse silently. Jiang Saburo stuck out his tongue, "Come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

   Jiang Song saw that his son was going too far, and after returning to the mansion, he ordered, "Dalang, Erlang, you two go back and help set the sacrificial table; Ling'er, teach Saburo the rules."

   "Yes." Jiang Ling responded.

  Jiang Saburo quit, "Father, son is fine, why do you want to learn the rules?"

   "If you don't study again, as a father, I'm afraid you will jump to the sky." Jiang Song snorted.

   Jiang Erye said to his son cheerfully, "It's Chinese New Year, Ling'er is gentler, don't hurt Saburo's face."

   "Yes." Jiang Ling was still concise.

   Xiaoshiro asked, "Uncle, what is Shiro doing?"

   Jiang Song smiled and said, "Shiro doesn't have to do anything, just have fun."

  Jiang Saburo was counseled, "Father, you don't need Brother Ling to teach you the rules, you know all the rules, really!"

  Jiang Song asked as he walked, "Then tell me, what rules do you know?"

"A arrogant soldier will be defeated. You can't be arrogant and arrogant just because you have won a game. In the future, you must not underestimate the enemy, you must hide it, know yourself and the enemy, and you will be safe in a hundred battles." After listening to Uncle Qiu's book for several months, Jiang Sanlang know everything.

   Jiang Song nodded, "Can it be done?"

   "Yes!" Jiang Saburo nodded like a chicken picking up rice, "Just now we were fighting at the door, and I just followed the unrelenting tactics instructed by my brothers, first lure the enemy deep, and then win with one move. I really remember!"

   Jiang Huai said with a smile, "Brother, Saburo has all remembered, today's rules will be learned after he makes a mistake?"

  Jiang Matsumoto didn't plan to do anything to him, "Since that's the case, I'll spare you this time. If you dare to commit it again, you will be punished for both crimes."

  Jiang Saburo hehe, "So...you went to play with the fourth brother?"

   "Do things with your eldest brother and second brother!" Jiang Song stared, Jiang Saburo bowed his head, and everyone laughed out loud.

  After being separated from the crowd, Erye Jiang took his son to the north courtyard and instructed, "Go and clean up the courtyard as well."

   Going back to clean up the yard is an excuse. Erye Jiang asked his son to go back first and set up a sacrifice table to worship the ancestors of the Ren family. Jiang Ling also understood what his father meant. After he answered, he still followed his father to the North Courtyard. Jiang Erye turned to look at him in confusion. Jiang Ling explained, "Take my sister back."

   "What are you doing with Liu'er?" Jiang Erye wondered.

  Jiang Ling said as a matter of course, "Liu'er come with me."

   Jiang Erye frowned, "Nonsense! That's... you go!"

   Jiang Ling pursed her lips, stepped forward and pulled her father's sleeve, begging, "Father, I want to take my sister with me, I don't want to go alone."

   Looking at his pitiful sample, thinking that he is the only one left in the Ren family, Jiang Erye's heart softened, "Go back quickly, don't freeze your sister."

   "Thank you father!" Jiang Ling happily ran to the north courtyard and found her sister who was eating snacks on the warm couch, "Sister, father asked us to go back to clean the west courtyard."

   Jiang Liu was stunned, "Liu'er is going too?" Is it appropriate?

  Jiang Ling took half of the honey milk cake from her hand and stuffed it into her small mouth, "Sister doesn't want to go with brother?"

  Daddy let her go, and brother is waiting for her again, so let's go. Jiang Liu swallowed the delicious pastry, "Go."

   Miss and sister were preparing things for Chinese New Year. Jiang Liu told the nurse and followed her brother to the west courtyard. As they walked, Jiang Liu asked, "Sanlang fought with the Meng family, did his brother teach him?"

   Jiang Ling shook his head, "Not all of them."

   That's it for the most part, Jiang Liu was delighted, "Brother is the best."

   Being praised by his sister, Jiang Ling is also beautiful, holding her little hand and returning to the west courtyard.

   In order to facilitate Jiang Ling's sacrifice to the ancestors, the people in the west courtyard were sent out by Jiang Erye. The nanny took two maids to the north courtyard to help, and the two concubines were also sent out. In the main courtyard of the West Courtyard, Jiang Cai had already set the sacrificial table and was waiting for the young master to come back. Jiang Cai was not surprised when he saw the young master taking the six girls back together, he turned back to his room and took out a futon.

  Jiang Ling first offered incense, then took his sister to kneel on the futon and kowtowed three times, reciting the sacrificial words in a low voice, and then kowtowed again. Jiang Liu also followed suit, talking about his parents and the cubs in his mother's womb, asking the gods and Buddhas in the sky, especially the gods of the Five Sacred Mountains, to bless them with safety.

After    finished talking, Jiang Liu looked up at the three pillars of blue smoke floating from the incense burner on the table. The sound of firecrackers coming from far and near, and the smell of sulfur and incense in the cold winter air, this is the feeling of Chinese New Year. Traveling through thousands of years of time and space, China is thousands of miles away, and we celebrate the Chinese New Year together. Grandpa and dad must be busy with the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen. Her mother must be leaning on the sofa and chatting with grandma about gossips.

   Jiang Liu thought about it, his nose was sore, and the tears couldn't help falling.

   After the sacrifice, Jiang Ling got up and saw her sister crying, and quickly turned around to wipe her face with her sleeve, "Sister, don't be sad, my parents are watching us from the sky, we are fine, they will be at ease."

  Brother's parents are in the sky, and his parents are in another time and space. Jiang Liu twitched his nose, "Yeah."

   A slight voice came from the Xiaokua courtyard, Jiang Ling's eyes were sharp, Jiang Cai walked over in a few steps, and opened the door of the courtyard, the people inside were frightened and said "ah". Jiang stayed in the dim twilight and recognized that this person was his father's concubine Li Shi.

  My father ordered everyone in the courtyard to go out to help. When did she come back and what did she come back for? Jiang Ling stepped forward and said, "Father said that there was no one in the courtyard, and Jiang Cai thought that someone was sneaking in when he heard the movement, which surprised my aunt, is she okay?"

   Concubine Li hurriedly bowed her knees, "It's the slave's fault that the slave maid startled the young master and the girl."

  Jiang Liu asked with a smile, "Didn't Auntie go to the East Courtyard and when did she come back?"

   "The slave girl accidentally wet her clothes in the East Courtyard. When she came back to change one, the slave girl had to go over and help." After Concubine Li finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Who is this young master and girl worshipping?"

  Jiang Liushun explained, "Daddy is going to have a spring festival next year, and we are worshipping Wuqu Xingjun."

   "Then why don't you see the third girl..." Before Li Yiniang finished her question, she saw that the sixth girl's face sank, and she didn't dare to ask any more, so she bowed her knees and backed out.
