Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 335 The most sensible girl in Kang'an City

  After sending off He Daobin and Li Changcun's wife, Mrs. Jiang was so tired that she slumped on the couch and rested. Mrs. Chen discussed with Mrs. Liu about the twelfth lunar month where people should go and what to bring. Jiang Pinglan asked Jiang Muyan to take Jiang back to the West Courtyard, and said to the second brother, "Come here."

   Jiang Erye knew that his sister was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to say that he was tired and hungry, so he honestly followed his sister to the wing where she lived. Jiang Pinglan sent her daughter who was embroidering in the room, let the second brother sit down, and ordered someone to serve his favorite refreshments.

   They are all from their own family, and Erye Jiang is not polite. He ate five pieces of crispy abalone elegantly and quickly, and then asked, "What's wrong with my sister? You said, I'll do it."

   Brother-in-law owes a beating for not a day or two, Erye Jiang wanted to deal with him long ago.

   Jiang Pinglan said, "Mother told me last night that she is sorry for our three brothers and sisters."

   Hearing that elder sister started such a long chat, Jiang Erye's head buzzed, and he was the most annoying elder brother and elder sister to lecture. Therefore, Jiang Erye directly finished the end for his sister, so as not to waste her words, "Mother worked hard to raise us and never owes us half a cent. It's the younger brother that I haven't done well enough. The younger brother will work harder to handle the errands, share the worries for the eldest brother, and let Mother is enjoying her old age."

  Jiang Pinglan quietly looked at his second brother, who was getting more and more splendid and ill-fated, "Apart from working hard to handle errands and sharing the worries for the eldest brother, what should you do the most?"

   Jiang Erye's attitude is very sincere, "Don't fool around with friends, eat, drink and play less, don't gamble for money, and come back early every day to talk to mother and teach the children their homework."

   Seeing the obedient appearance of the second brother, Jiang Pinglan resisted the urge to praise him, and said calmly, "What you deserve most is to get a wife as soon as possible."

   Knowing that my sister would mention this, Jiang Erye immediately said, "But the minister said..."

  Jiang Pinglan stared, "It's not because you didn't want to, that you just made up these things!"

   Jiang Erye's peach blossom pupils drooped, and he said aggrievedly, "Sister, you wronged me..."

Out of sight, out of mind, Jiang Pinglan lowered her eyes, regardless of the second brother's expression, she said to herself, "Mother cried last night. She said it was all her fault, it was her lack of vision that made the marriage of our three brothers and sisters unhappy. I don't need to say it here, it's my failure to live up to my expectations and let my mother worry about me; my younger brother and sister left early, and you don't even have a son..."

   "Sister, I have a..."

   "Are you really blind as a sister, can't you tell that Jiang Ling is not your own?" Jiang Pinglan asked back.

   Jiang Erye lowered his head.

Jiang Pinglan continued, "Sister-in-law has been married for almost 20 years, but she still can't stop things. If there are important events and distinguished guests, all of them have to be borne by the mother. The third younger brother and sister who could have been able to help out can't be counted on now, the affairs of the house, It's all up to my mother. It's just the twelfth lunar month. Do you know how many things have to be dealt with in the house this month, how many goods have to be prepared, and how many people need to move? You didn't see it just now, people who are so strong as my mother are tired. I had trouble going back to my room, so I fell asleep on the bed. Sister, would you like to count it for you, how many of the guests came because of you in the two days I came back?"

   Jiang Erye lowered his head.

"Sister-in-law can't support her family. Big brother is busy with the yamen, and he has to help her when he comes back. The third younger brother and sister are capable, but the third younger brother is a concubine. The identity of the third younger brother and sister is here. There are many things and many people, and she is not enough to go. Do it and entertain." Jiang Pinglan sighed and continued, "Even if you don't feel sorry for our mother and brother, you should feel sorry for Yan'er. She is only eleven years old, so she is busy running around, she is a good person. Jing temper, go back and ask her if she hasn't touched the book or the piano for a few days?"

   Jiang Erye was speechless.

"You don't want to marry a wife, you want to live a happy life by yourself, that's fine. Then you can let your mother split the house for you and your eldest brother, and you can go out and live by yourself. Don't let your mother be so old and work for you day and night!" Jiang Pinglan said cruel words, but his voice trembled.

   Jiang Erye poured a cup of tea for my sister and passed it with both hands, "Sister eat tea."

Jiang Pinglan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, took it over and drank slowly, "Seeing that your officials are getting better and better, many entertainments must be done by your daughter-in-law, otherwise it is rude. These things, mother, sister-in-law, They can't replace Yan'er or even Liu'er. Second brother, you should be sensible."

   Jiang Erye said sincerely, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to marry, but I'm afraid to marry someone who is ignorant. Not only will I not be able to help my mother, but I will also cause chaos in the house, make my mother angry, and make my children feel wronged."

"Then go and marry a sensible girl." Jiang Pinglan advised, "Sister will help you choose and make sure you are sensible. Other sisters dare not say that Kang Ancheng wants to marry your sensible girl. Sister counts them one by one. Can count from now until midnight."

Jiang Erye pursed his lips in grievance, "When my grandmother gave me an engagement, she said that Wang Qinghe was the most sensible girl in Kang'an City, and it would be right to marry her. You all said at the time that she liked me, but what if she married me back? Woman? It's all the same, what they value is the younger brother's skin, and when they get married, they will be bored, and they will raise their noses and eyes, and see that the younger brother is not pleasing to the eye."

   "You dare to say that you and your younger brother and sister are at the point where you hate each other, you are not wrong?" Jiang Pinglan asked, the tone of this question is the same as that of the elder brother Jiang Song.

   Jiang Erye sullen his head and stopped talking again.

Jiang Pinglan sighed and said earnestly, "It's not wrong for them to like you. My brother is the most handsome man in the whole week. Pick a girl who is quick to do things and has a good personality to marry, as long as you don't take concubines and don't mess around, She will follow you with all her heart, no matter how tired or wronged she is, she will always be at ease and sweet."

   Seeing my sister was full of tears, Jiang Erye felt distressed, "Sister..."

"Sister is fine, as long as you and eldest brother stand firm, the Liao family will not dare to do anything to eldest sister." Jiang Pinglan wiped her tears and choked up, "Second brother, you really think that mother and eldest brother don't know that you have tried your best not to marry a wife. They are reluctant to force you. When you are twenty-nine years old and a man is thirty, you should save them worry."

   "Sister, let me think about it." Jiang Erye stood up, dragged his heavy legs back to the west courtyard, and lay on his back on the bed without speaking. Jiang Ling, who was changing clothes in the room, saw that something was wrong with his father, so he came over and asked, "My father doesn't feel well, so I'm going to ask the boss to check on you?"

   Jiang Erye shook his head, "Your aunt said, let me marry again."

  Jiang Ling's eyes widened immediately, "Father agrees? If you marry again, what will happen to your sister? Are you going to marry her to suffer and suffer?"

Seeing his father's silence, Jiang Ling's face became tense, and he climbed onto the bed and pulled on his father's sleeve, "A manly man, it's hard to chase after a horse, but my father can't go back on his word. You promised to let your sister recruit her husband, If you marry and have a son again, you won't need your sister to continue the incense for you. Then give your sister to the baby, and let her go with the baby after the baby opens the house at the age of eighteen."

   Jiang Erye raised his leg and pressed his son on the bed, and said angrily, "What are you yelling, I'm so annoying!"
