Chapter 903 Silly
Over there, Hanlin Zhang Kairun's wife was also telling Chen that the Liu family had rejected the proposal of Ma Ji's house. "I heard that Liu Juntang has fallen in love with your Yan'er. What do you think of this marriage?"
Chen shook his fan and said, "I think what I think doesn't count. Yan'er's marriage has to be decided by my second uncle."
Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed and she asked in a low voice, "Your second brother and sister can't speak at all?"
"I don't know this." She was not stupid, so she wouldn't talk too much about the second house. Chen pointed to the plate containing the melon, "Try it, this is the melon that entered the palace in the south, it's so sweet."
After Jiang Feng was promoted to the Minister of War and sent to Suzhou, the Jiang family also rose with the water and ate the fruits and vegetables that were tributed! Mrs. Zhang picked up a piece and took a bite, with a sweet and sad heart in her mouth, "Do you really have to wait until the 17th to discuss marriage?"
Chen ate the melon, looked at the clown on the stage and smiled for a while before saying, "You must wait until you are seventeen years old, otherwise my second brother and sister's spirit in heaven will not be able to rely on it."
Mrs. Zhang silently picked up a piece of melon again and looked at Ma Nanxiang sitting with Jiang Muyan, and couldn't help but think. In two years, Liu Juntang will be twenty-two. Even if he can wait, his elders can't wait. The Liu family didn't like him, but Ma Nanxiang might not be waiting for Jiang Muyan, because these two girls were not easy to raise, at least they were much worse than her niece...
"Sister Six, look, my eldest aunt is about to start crying." Jiang Mujin held the melon and touched Jiang Liu with her elbow, gloating, "Aunt Liao is miserable this time."
Liao Chuanrui's mother was sitting next to the fifth sister's eldest aunt. Jiang Liu saw that the Yan family's eldest aunt was chatting happily with Liao's mother. He seemed to have no intention on the stage, so he ate the melon and smiled, "Fifth sister, let's bet a game? If your eldest aunt cries, I will lose one golden bean. If she doesn't cry, you will lose one of me."
"Okay!" Jiang Mujin immediately responded. So, the wife of the Yan family was watching the show, and Jiang Liu and Jiang Mujin were watching her. After a while, Jiang Liu felt something was wrong with her second sister sitting next to Liao's mother. Because she always raised her hand and pressed her waist secretly, it seemed uncomfortable.
Jiang Liunuo went over and asked in a low voice, "Second sister, are you uncomfortable?"
Jiang Muzheng whispered, "I've been sitting for a long time and I feel a little sore in my waist."
After hearing this, Liao's mother hurriedly said, "Get up and go around, find a place to rest."
"Okay." Jiang Muzheng responded, and as her sixth sister came out of the awning, she slowly walked towards the west courtyard. Not only did she feel sore, but her head was also a little dizzy. Before she could reach the west courtyard, her eyes turned black and she began to shake.
Jiang Liu held her second sister with a hand. Seeing that her face was pale, he immediately asked Wu Maid to help her into his room and ordered someone to ask for a doctor.
Jiang Muzheng struggled and said, "Ask a doctor to disturb my grandmother. I just suffered some heat and I'll take a break."
Jiang Liu ordered Shuqiu to prepare mung bean soup, but was stopped by Sister Qi. Sister Qi advised, "Miss Six, the soup to relieve the heat is cold, and the second girl should not drink it now."
Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, "Are you saying that my second sister is pregnant?"
Sister Qi shook her head, "I can't see it, but it's been half a year since the second girl got married, so let's be careful."
It is indeed necessary to be careful, Jiang Liu changed his words, "Go and make a pot of good green tea."
After Sister Qi went to make tea, Jiang Liu returned to the room and found that her second sister was asleep on her bed. She covered her second sister with quilt and then stepped out, letting the maid keep her safe.
After Jiang Muzheng woke up, she found that the sky was full of red clouds outside the window, and the third sister was sitting by the window reading a book. She listened for a while before she sat up and asked, "Three sister, have the opera finished?"
Jiang Muyan put down the book and walked over, "It's been a while since she finished singing. Aunt Liao talked to her in the East Courtyard. She didn't let her call you. Grandma said she would let you go back after dinner. Do you think it's better?"
Hearing that his mother-in-law was waiting for him, Jiang Muzheng quickly stood up and said, "It's much better, I'll go there now."
"Don't hurry, take your time." Jiang Muyan held his second sister's arm.
While there were only two sisters in the room, Jiang Muzheng whispered, "It's said on the street that Liu Juntang admired you, so he refused the proposal between the Ma family and the Liu family. Third sister, you have to wait until the second uncle comes back before getting engaged. Don't rush to deny it, take a look, okay?"
Jiang Muyan replied, "I'll wait for my father to come back to make decisions for me."
Seeing that the third sister was clearly not moved yet, Jiang Muzheng sighed silently and went to the East Courtyard to meet her mother-in-law.
The daughter-in-law fell asleep at her parents' house. Liao's mother didn't care at all. Instead, she happily took her to eat in Mrs. Jiang's courtyard. When her son came to pick her up, the three of them returned home.
Seeing that they were leaving, Chen twisted his handkerchief and muttered, "Mom, look at Zheng'er like this, are you there?"
Mrs. Jiang said, "It's not too late yet, wait until the doctor takes the happy pulse."
The concubine's daughter is about to have her daughter, why hasn't she moved yet? Chen's handkerchief has tightened even tighter. No, she has to take her daughter to burn incense tomorrow!
After seeing off her second sister's family, Jiang Muyan and Jiang Liu returned to the room and lay in bed and were tired and happy because their family hadn't been so happy for a long time.
Jiang Muyan asked her sister, "I heard from Yue'er that you won a golden bean?"
Jiang Liu smiled proudly, "Well, the aunt Yan's family didn't cry, but the fifth sister lost to me."
The golden beans in the hands of the Jiang sisters were given to Mr. Jiang during the Chinese New Year this year. They all regarded them as treasures. Jiang Mujin lost to Jiang and left one today, and she was very distressed.
Jiang Muyan reminded, "Put the golden beans away, don't be taken to Yue'er for fun, and I'll give them back to your fifth sister in a few days."
"Okay." He stretched and yawned again.
It was time to go to bed. Jiang Muyan ordered Shuqiu to go and get hot water, and then ordered Shuqiu to get hot milk, let her sister take a bath, and then go to bed after drinking the milk.
Jiang Liu has grown too fast for a while. If she doesn't take a hot bath and drink enough milk, her knees and calves will hurt so much that she can't sleep at night. Jiang Muyan did the same thing in the past two years. After cleaning up and lying on the bed, Jiang Liu suddenly felt much more comfortable. She yawned and waited for her sister to come back to bed after washing.
After Jiang Muyan came back, when Shuqiu put down the gauze curtain, put out the candlelight and retreated outside the screen, she asked in a low voice, "Liu'er, are you talking about me and... Liu Juntang?"
Jiang Liu, who was dozing off, was in a state of energy. "Since Liu Juntang used 200,000 taels of silver to hire Gu Yuelou's escort father out of the capital, this gossip spread. This was not what Liu Juntang said. In order to avoid suspicion, his family has not come to our house for almost a month."
Jiang Muyan pursed her lips and stopped saying a word.
Jiang Liu leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what do you think?"
Before leaving Beijing, my father told her to discuss with her sister and mother more when things happened. Jiang Muyan was not easy to tell her mother, but she still did. She whispered, "I was thinking before, how could Liu Juntang, as a businessman, be determined to take the top scorer in the official career? After seeing his mother, I understood."
Although Liu Juntang's mother, Li, was not a daughter of a scholarly family, loved poetry and books very much. She was a well-educated person. Liu Juntang was influenced and taught by his mother and also loved reading since childhood.
When Jiang Liu was about to say that if his sister married, she would have a common language with Liu Juntang's mother, she heard her sister say:
"Before, I felt that Liu Juntang didn't know how to keep a low profile, acted flamboyantly, and spent money like soil; now, I find him a little...silly."
Jiang Liu????!!!
