"Grandma knows that you have always observed etiquette, but the girl's family cannot be too estranged from her husband-in-law. When Yi'er comes back, you should take advantage of tonight to have a good time with him."
Song Wan blushed even more when Mrs. Jiang spoke to her. Seeing her shy expression, the old lady gave her a gentle push: "Go and find Yi'er. What's the point of spending the whole day with us two old men?"
Jiang's mother also smiled and nodded, and asked Song Wan to look for Jiang Xingjian.
As soon as he turned around the green screen, Song Wan heard Jiang's mother say to Mrs. Jiang: "That girl from the Lin family is really ridiculous. She acts and talks like a pretentious little family, and she dares to boast that she comes from a reclusive family in Haikou. I I would like to know which clan behaves so rudely, and which clan’s girls are so weak-minded and do not know how to love themselves.”
Mrs. Jiang sighed faintly: "Although that woman has no gentle appearance and is petite, she is indeed a bit frivolous, but you don't want to embarrass her. After all, it was Yi'er who brought her back. I haven't seen you in six years. You, mother and son It’s really not right to hurt your harmony over such a thing.”
Song Wan walked out of the house, not knowing what the two of them said.
Outside the door, Lin Jiayue and Jiang Xingjian and Jiang Yan were standing together. Song Wanfang walked to the main hall and heard Lin Jiayue say with a half-smile but not a smile: "The rules in the Hou Mansion are too big, because there are so many rules that people can't bear to eat." When the meal was served, only one or two of them just licked their chopsticks and then left the table?"
Jiang Xingjian Jiang Yan all frowned when he heard this, and even the women in the courtyard also showed contempt.
They have never seen a girl speak so vulgarly.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Jiayue felt increasingly uncomfortable. She looked at Jiang Xingjian and said, "Jiang Yi, I didn't come back to the Marquis Mansion with you to be angry."
Jiang Yi's voice made everyone open their eyes. Jiang Yan even glanced at her with interest, but when he turned around and saw Song Wan standing behind him with a pale face, he restrained himself.
He thought for a moment, took a step back, and let Lin Jiayue and Jiang Xingjian out.
"How dare you call me by my name, you little hooves?"
A plump woman stood up and said: "Who taught you to call people by name? In the entire Hou family, except the old lady and his wife, who can call the uncle by his name first? Where did you learn the rules, little hooves?" "
"Men and women are neither matchmakers nor well-known to each other. You don't understand this little bit of truth? You don't know etiquette, so don't bring trouble to our uncle."
"Mother Li."
Lin Jiayue was furious after being scolded. Just when she was trying to get Jiang Xingjian to deal with this servant, she saw him greeting the woman in a good voice. Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.
When the nanny saw this, she snorted coldly: "It's shameless to show off."
"you!"
Lin Jiayue rolled up her sleeves and looked at Jiang Xingjian with red eyes: "Jiang Yi, tell me, can I call you by your first name?"
Jiang Xingjian did not speak, but Jiang Yan said: "The etiquette has a cloud crown and the word is used to respect his name. Before the king's father calls him by name, others will call him by name. It is true that a girl should not call her brother by his name first. Such behavior is no different from insulting him. .”
Grandma Li couldn't help but nod her head when she heard the words: "Any girl who comes from a well-educated family will not understand this truth. Even if I want to protect you, I can't mess with the ancestral rules."
"Brother Xingjian..."
Big tears rolled down her face. Lin Jiayue gritted her teeth and turned around to leave. Jiang Xingjian frowned and wanted to chase her, but was stopped by Grandma Li.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Jiang Xingjian said: "She doesn't understand the rules because I didn't teach her well. I'll just teach her in the future. I'll have to ask you to help her."
After saying that, he went to look for Lin Jiayue.
Jiang Yan looked at the backs of the two and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's been a hard day, mama."
Song Wan walked out of the house. Aunt Li saluted her but was stopped: "You are both your mother's dowry and your husband's wet nurse. Wan'er cannot afford this gift."
Grandma Li replied: "Grandma, please don't say that, it will hurt you."
"Mom had a few cups of tea tonight. I think I will be busy at night. You should pay more attention to your health and don't do everything yourself. If you are tired, just call for small actions. Don't tire yourself."
Song Wan motioned to Heng Zhi to give Nanny Li a few taels of silver. He also laughed and said that it was hot recently and asked her to get some iced drinks.
Grandma Li took it with a smile and thanked her profusely: "Everyone in the house knows that grandma is kind and docile. Strangely, in the past, the old lady and my wife were full of praises. Those who came from a small family are really good." It’s really not as good as even a hair on Grandma’s head.”
Song Wan smiled and asked Heng Wu to take her back to Jiangmu's Jiangxiang Courtyard. Then he nodded to Jiang Yan and then followed Heng Zhi to Lan Courtyard.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel inexplicably disappointed when he saw that her expression was as usual, as if she was not affected by Jiang Xingjian and Lin Jiayue at all. When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a simple and elegant white veil left on the ground.
In the Hou Mansion, Song Wan was the only one who wore a plain veil.
He stared at the handkerchief for a long time, and then said to a little girl wearing an azure brocade skirt next to him: "Grandma Yi left something behind. Please wash it and send it to her in the hospital."
The little girl nodded blankly, with a very pink face.
Jiang Yan drank a few glasses of wine at the banquet. It was said that he usually had a good drinking capacity, so this idea was nothing. But today I only had three or five glasses of wine, and I already felt a little dizzy.
Not only was his chest excited and thunderous, but his mind was also buzzing from time to time, and a graceful figure appeared over and over again, making him feel restless.
After finally returning to Yulingzhai, Jiang Yan took off his outer robe and lay down on the Arhat bed in the second hall.
"Second Master?"
Jiang Yan opened his eyes and saw that it was Qingzhai who was using a handkerchief soaked in hot water to cleanse his face, and he sat up.
"I just fell asleep?"
Qingzhai said respectfully: "You fell asleep when you came back, but you didn't sleep long."
"Is something wrong?"
Jiang Yan took the handkerchief and wiped his face. When he put down his hand, he saw the small words embroidered on the corners of the handkerchief, and he felt a little lost for some reason.
After half-kneeling, he put away the copper basin and handkerchief and handed the things to the second-class maid in the room. Qingzhai changed Jiang Yan's clothes and said, "A boy from the outer courtyard came outside and said he had something important to see me." , I asked you several times but he didn’t say anything. I thought it was really important, so I called you up.”
"Let him go to the study."
Jiang Yan frowned, got dressed and went to the study.
Not long after I sat down, a thin boy came in with his eyes darting around and a restless look on his face. When he entered the room, he took out an oil paper bag from his arms and placed it on the desk.
The boy grinned and said, "Although Uncle Yi is a direct descendant of the Hou Mansion, in recent years, my family has relied on the second master for support. If it weren't for you, I would have gone without you."
"I will keep this small kindness in my heart. Now I have finally found the opportunity to repay the Second Master. It is truly worthy of my sincerity to you."
Seeing the soft and pure white corner exposed in the dirty oil paper, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a vein twitching, and his forehead hurt suddenly.
