Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 198 Good Concubine

   Meng Yamei felt that she was extremely wronged.

  On the second day of the new year, she dressed beautifully, followed her mother back to her grandmother's house for a walk, and then went back to the house to wait for her aunt to come back and give out the lucky money. Who knew that her aunt not only gave her less money than her sisters, but also put a black face on her.

   Meng Yamei pouted and went to her mother to complain, but her mother gave her a slap in front of her grandmother, "What nonsense are you talking about outside!"

   Meng Yamei cried, "Mother wronged her daughter, she hasn't been out for several days, and her daughter didn't talk nonsense."

  Cui Shi wanted to kill her, "Did you tell Jiang Liuer that your aunt liked Jiang Er lunatic when she was not married?"

   Meng Yamei's eyes widened, "My daughter didn't tell her!"

   That's Jiang Liu's nonsense! Cui turned around and was about to explain to her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law asked, "You haven't told Jiang Liu'er, so haven't you told anyone else?"

   Meng Yamei was silent.

   "Speak!" Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Cui shouted in unison.

   Meng Yamei whispered, "Mei'er told ... cousin Yunxiang and Guo Wan. But Meier told them not to tell anyone else..."

  You said that if you don’t let them tell, they won’t tell? Cui shi whispered, "Perhaps the girl from the Guo family told Jiang Liuer."

   The Guo family also lives in Shifeng Lane. There are several girls in the family who are similar in age to Meng Yamei. Guo Yuqing and Jiang Liu can play very well.

   Mrs. Meng had a gloomy face and continued to ask, "Where did you hear about this?"

   hoops! Cui's heart shrank in fright, and winked at her daughter tightly. Unexpectedly, Meng Yamei still said stupidly, "Mei'er heard what my second aunt told my mother."

  Crack! The strings in Cui's head were broken, and he knew that he would be scolded too.

   Mrs. Meng looked gloomily at the mother and daughter before saying, "I won't scold you before the first month."

  Cui Shi and Meng Yamei were just overjoyed when they heard the old lady say again, "From now on, you should go back to your room and stay there. You are not allowed to go out before the fifteenth day of the first month."

   "Grandmother, I don't want it!" Meng Yamei was anxious, because the New Year was a fun time, so she didn't want to be locked in the house.

   "Say one more word, and it will be closed until February 2!" Madam Meng's eyes were full of anger, "Get out!"

   "Mother calm down, it's the daughter-in-law who has no way to teach her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law will teach her well." Cui hurriedly took her daughter and hurried out.

   Mrs. Meng raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. The master was right, the third family should be sent out of the capital, and then they should stay in the capital. Sooner or later, there will be a big event.

   At this time, the carriage of the Jiang Liu brothers and sisters also rushed back to Shifeng Lane. When they returned to the North Courtyard, they only saw Jiang Pinglan and their two children, but did not see their uncle Liao Qingmo. After my uncle had dinner, the Yamen in Yile County was busy with business, so he went back early.

   Jiang Erye sneered at this, "Long live to govern the world, there is still time to rest, but he is a small county magistrate, but he can't live without the yamen for a day!"

  Jiang Song explained for his brother-in-law, "The magistrate is in charge of the civil service of a county, and the people go to the county government office when they have business, and the government affairs are busy and trivial."

   Jiang Erye snorted, "There is not only one magistrate in the county office, there are dozens or hundreds of people, who can't last a day?"

   Jiang Song glared, "People have been magistrates for many years, but you still don't understand!"

"It's because he didn't understand that he has always been the county magistrate." Jiang Erye was afraid of being scolded, so he jumped up after saying this, "Big brother, the third brother went to Yuezhang's house, and I went to our shop to go around, something happened. It’s better to deal with it in time.”

   If you don't go, nothing will happen, but if you go, it will happen! Jiang Song laughed and instructed the servant, "Go and invite Uncle Hou and Uncle Qiu over."

   In the north courtyard, Jiang Ling took Liao Yuandong, who was wandering around her sister, out to teach him a lesson. Jiang Muyan was dragged out by Liao Chunling to play. There were only three grandmother, aunt and Jiang Liu left in the house.

   Jiang Liu, who stayed on purpose, listened to his grandmother and aunt talking a few things, and looked at his grandmother eagerly.

   Mrs. Jiang was amused by her small eyes, "Just say what you want to say, do you have to wait for your grandmother to ask?"

  Jiang Liu looked at Mrs. Liu and Jingxiu, and whispered, "Grandmother, aunt, when I was at my grandmother's house, my second aunt asked my sister and me how my two aunts would be resettled after the fire broke out across the courtyard."

   Jiang Pinglan frowned, "She actually asked you all this?"

   Mrs. Jiang asked, "How did you get back to her?"

  Jiang Liu recounted what happened, and finally said, "Grandmother, tell me, how can the second aunt be so angry, the girl who grew up in Kang'an City, who doesn't like my father!"

   Mrs. Jiang was amused by her granddaughter, "Silly girl, you really think your father is a sweet pastry!"

   "Grandmother is wrong, my father is not a sweet pastry, but a fairy." Jiang Liu said solemnly.

   Now, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Pinglan both laughed, "You are a big kid! Go and play with your sisters!"

ah? What gossip do you want to hear? After Jiang stayed out, he was very disappointed. She rolled her eyes and went to find her aunt who was busy in the East Courtyard.

  After Jiang Liu left, the smile on Mrs. Jiang's face gradually faded, and Jiang Pinglan said, "Mother, I remember that the Meng family mentioned that they wanted the second brother to marry Meng Ying, right?"

   Mrs. Jiang looked at the rays of light passing through the window panes and recalled, "The Meng family did have this idea back then, but your second brother didn't like Meng Ying, and Meng Ying didn't look down on your second brother."

   Now that I think about it, is this also one of the reasons why the Meng family hates the Jiang family? The more Madam Jiang thought about it, the darker her eyes became.

"Meng Ying is three years older than the second brother. The second brother has always regarded her as a sister, so how could he agree to this marriage. Back then, Meng Ying often played with her daughter, but now that I think about it, she doesn't dislike the second brother. It's just that she has such an awkward temperament and behaves differently from others. If not, why did she ask the two children about the second brother's concubine?" Jiang Pinglan's generation, Meng Jiang's family has three sons and one daughter , so Jiang Pinglan and Meng Ying have been playing since childhood until they got married, and Jiang Pinglan has a good understanding of Meng Ying's temper.

"Anyway, these are all over." Mrs. Jiang didn't want to mention more about the past, and didn't want her daughter to know about Yansheng, so she changed the subject and said, "You are in Le County, you can recognize a clean girl, and you are willing to give it to her. A concubine? It doesn’t matter how old you are, the main thing is that you need to be sensible, look beautiful and clean, and smile nicely.”

When Jiang Pinglan heard these conditions, she understood that her mother wanted to concubine her second brother, and after thinking about it, she said, "There is a family. There is an old scholar who teaches in Lexian County, and the family has a daughter who is seventeen years old this year. "

   Mrs. Jiang became interested, "Why hasn't a girl like this been married yet?"

Jiang Pinglan said, "It was originally promised, but her fiancé really doesn't take this marriage seriously. The woman has not yet entered the house, but the man's concubine secretly gave birth to a son. Daughter quit the marriage, and that's only now. At the end of last year, a matchmaker came to his door to talk about kissing, and my daughter hasn't heard which one has been decided..."

   Mrs. Jiang was quite moved after hearing this, "In a few days, let your second brother take you back. You can take a chance for your second brother to meet. If he can meet him, he will accept this girl as a good concubine."
