Marriage of the Di Daughter

"I heard that you were arguing with people in the street on your way home from school today?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e, who were trying their best to hide the gloating in their eyes. Sure enough, Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e really spared no effort to pour dirty water on her to complain.

Jiang Li smiled and said: "I don't know where the old lady heard it, it's quite different from the truth."

Mrs. Jiang said: "Oh, let me tell you about the facts."

Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e wanted to speak but dared not. Mrs. Jiang was a strict and orderly woman, and they were not allowed to interject when others were talking.

Jiang Li smiled: "I'm afraid that what I say alone may be unfair, so let my maid say it, Bai Xue." Jiang Li called Bai Xue to come in.

After Bai Xue came in, she first bowed to Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Li said, "You should tell Mrs. Jiang what happened after school today."

Bai Xue got Jiang Li's order, and immediately said it from beginning to end. Bai Xue has a simple and honest personality, and she speaks in a strict manner on weekdays, never exaggerating anything. From the perspective of a spectator, she completely restored the matter without biasing anyone.

After listening to Mrs. Jiang, she thought about it, and asked Jiang Li again: "So, you are speaking out of justice, and you are not arguing indiscriminately."

"I dare not speak uprightly, I just tell the truth." Jiang Li still smiled.

At this time, Jiang Youyao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Grandmother, the young master that the second sister helped is not a stranger, he is from the Ye family in Xiangyang."

At the Ye family in Xiangyang, Mrs. Jiang's complexion suddenly became serious.

You know, since Ye Zhenzhen's death, the Jiang family and the Ye family's in-laws have had less contact with each other, and after Jiang Yuanbai married Ji Shuran and fought with the Ji family, he almost cut off contact with the Ye family. Originally, there was still an inseparable connection between the Ye family and the Jiang family, which was Jiang Li, but Jiang Li swore to herself many years ago that she would not be with the merchants. The Ye family was heartbroken and never had any contact with the Jiang family again. .

Ji Shuran said: "Youyao, don't talk nonsense, you have never met the Ye family, how do you know that they are from the Ye family in Xiangyang?"

"I heard it with my own ears, and there are four younger sisters and five younger sisters," Jiang Youyao hurriedly argued, "The young master is called Ye Shijie, and Liu Zimin said he is from the Ye family in Xiangyang."

"Ye Shijie..." Mrs. Jiang pondered for a moment before looking at Jiang Li: "He should be the son of Ye's parents, your eldest cousin."

Only then did Jiang Li realize that Ye Shijie and herself were cousins.

"Li'er, what's the matter?" Ji Shuran said, "You have only been back to Beijing for just over a month, how come you met cousin Ye?"

These words are heartbreaking!

Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she looked straight at Jiang Li, her eyes seemed to be pierced by two knives.

Jiang Li had only returned to Beijing for more than a month, and she was not even familiar with Yanjing City, but today she happened to help her cousin out of the siege. How can there be such a coincidence in the world, since the Ye family cut off contact with the Jiang family, they have not been to Beijing for many years. It's hard to believe that it's just a coincidence. Could it be that Jiang Li and Ye Shijie have been in contact for a long time, or even for a long time?

In the eyes of Mrs. Jiang, this is an absolute taboo!

Jiang Li smiled and glanced at Ji Shuran, Ji Shuran seemed completely unaware that what she said could push Jiang Li to a point of no return, it was more like a joke.

Jiang Li said: "I don't know him, and I don't know that he is my eldest cousin. If the old lady hadn't told me, I wouldn't know the relationship between him and me. If it wasn't him today, or anyone else, if I Seeing this kind of scene, I have to step forward to stop it." Jiang Li smiled, and pointed out: "In this world, although it is good to be wise and protect yourself, sometimes you need to be brave. Especially in a Qingliu family like ours, even more We must preserve the integrity of the people."

Mrs. Jiang was taken aback.

Mrs. Jiang's husband, that is, Jiang Yuanbai's father, Mr. Jiang, has been a third-rank Guanwendian scholar all his life, at the age of thirty, and still at the time of his death. Although the third-rank civil servants are also very good, there must be a reason why they haven't been promoted for decades.

The reason is that Boss Jiang is too lonely and has done a lot of things like direct remonstrance. Although the first emperor also knew that Mr. Jiang was a good official, it was really hard to like him. Elder Jiang also stopped his official career because of his temperament.

Regarding her husband's temperament, Mrs. Jiang complained on the surface, but she was proud of him in her heart. However, the three sons of the Jiang family, the eldest son Jiang Yuanbai is conservative, the second son Jiang Yuanping is a laughing tiger, and the third son Jiang Yuanxing is cowardly and has no opinion as a bastard. None of them have inherited Mrs. Jiang's character. not lost.

So even if Jiang Yuanbai became the head of civil servants by virtue of "the mean", Mrs. Jiang was not completely satisfied with him. In the affairs of the world, there are gains and losses, and if you get a high official and rich salary, you must lose some things, such as backbone and arrogance.

Jiang Li had already discovered that Mrs. Jiang was an arrogant person, and she also had a bit of nobility in her bones, which could be seen from the decoration of the Wanfeng Hall. Therefore, she deliberately said these high-sounding and dignified words in order to resonate with Mrs. Jiang.

Let Mrs. Jiang recall the deceased Mr. Jiang, and see the shadow of Mr. Jiang from Jiang Li.

Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang's gaze towards Jiang Li gradually softened.

Ji Shuran was taken aback, wondering how Jiang Li's few words had calmed down Mrs. Jiang's attitude. Although she is a fine individual, her mind is the same as Jiang Yuanbai's, that is, she is absolutely self-interested. Putting herself and others into consideration, she couldn't understand Mrs. Jiang's "strength of character", but Jiang Li could.

Jiang Li said again: "At that time, I helped people on a whim and didn't consider the consequences. But it's really like what Sanmei said, Ye Shijie is the eldest cousin and a member of the Ye family in Xiangyang, so my behavior is more right. Although my biological mother passed away, the Ye family and our family were also in-laws, and my relatives were in deep trouble. If I left at that time and was seen by others, in the future, we will only say that our Jiang family is indifferent. My heart is as hard as iron. My father is an official in the court, and his words and deeds are watched by others. What if someone uses this to impeach my father?"

"We just need to do our own things well, so that people can't find faults, and we can live in peace. Besides, this is not a big deal. Mr. Liu said it himself, but it was just a misunderstanding. Use your mouth A single tongue can resolve a misunderstanding, isn’t it a beautiful thing? You don’t need gold or silver, you only need one sentence to help others, if I’m still stingy with this sentence, then I’m really not worthy of being human gone."

The last sentence ridiculed Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e together.
