That skinny figure was none other than Jing Changfa, who broke into the courtyard the night before yesterday. On the surface, he said he was visiting the original person, but in fact, he wanted to see if the original person was angry to death.
Different from the proud and arrogant red face he saw last time, Jing Changfa's face was pale at this time, and his expression was a little dazed. He was already dry and thin, but now he seemed to have lost weight again, making his originally well-fitting clothes look a little bulky.
Shivering under the slightly chilly breeze.
Next to Jing Changfa, stood a chubby little boy.
The little boy pouted, looking very unhappy.
Today, all the owners of Jing Mansion came to offer incense. The affairs in the mansion were temporarily left to Mother Yao's mother and Mrs. Zhang Jiang. Mother Yao also followed out. After noticing Jiang Long's somewhat surprised look, she walked up silently.
Come and whisper:
"I heard from some of the little maids assigned to this old man's courtyard that he seems to have encountered a ghost."
"The ghost that bumped into our house?" Jiang Long was curious.
Yao's mother curled her lips and glanced at Jing Changfa with disdain, "That's what I said, but where is the ghost in our house? If you want me to tell you, it should be that some people have ghosts in their hearts."
"What the wet nurse said is absolutely true. The right way is to never do anything bad in your life, and not to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night."
Jiang Long agreed, but smiled secretly in his heart. My soul came from another prosperous world, so I should be considered a ghost.
Mother Yao, you have already seen ghosts in broad daylight.
In addition to the royal motorcade, there was also a row of horse-drawn carriages parked not far away that were as elegant as the Jingfu vehicles.
After Mrs. Jing introduced a few words casually, she held Lin Ya's arm and walked slowly towards the mountain.
A group of maids followed behind.
Originally we could go up the mountain in a soft sedan chair, but Mrs. Jing said that the death of Master Guichen was a big event and we had to walk up the mountain step by step and enter the temple to pay our respects, so that we could show full sincerity.
Yuchai and Baoping also wanted to help Jianglong, but were rejected by Jianglong.
He just walked closely beside Jiang Long.
In case Jiang Long's feet slipped, if he climbed too high and then rolled down the stone steps, he would be seriously disabled even if he didn't die.
Jiang Long was quite helpless about this. He was a big man, but he had to be protected by two little girls.
You should change it over.
After walking a few steps, Delise, who had arranged for the servants in the palace to pay attention to various matters since getting off the car, held the hand of an old woman with white hair and quickly caught up with her.
"Jiang Long, don't forget what you promised to your sister-in-law before leaving."
"Can't forget."
Jiang Long was originally following Mrs. Jing closely. He could look at Lin Ya's slim and graceful back openly, take a look at Lin Ya's fair neck, or glance at the pert buttocks not far away.
He secretly said that Lin Ya also had a good figure. At this time, Dai Lisi came up to walk side by side, and he could only look away helplessly.
Seeing Jiang Long's lazy response, Dai Lisi felt that the young master of Jing Mansion in front of her was indeed a little different from before.
In the past, whenever she came over to talk to Jing Jianglong, Jing Jianglong would turn red and look embarrassed.
Why can I face myself calmly now?
Is it because he married a wife and had a woman of his own, or was he hurt by Lin Ya and started to hate women from then on?
Unlike Mrs. Jing, Mrs. Yao and others who cared very much about Jing Jianglong, Dai Lisi just cared about Jing Jianglong.
Because just paying attention is not caring, you can calmly analyze certain things without being affected by subjective emotions.
When Jing Jianglong learned that Mrs. Jing was going to marry Lin Ya into the mansion in advance, Dai Lisi could clearly feel that Jing Jianglong was very happy.
It can even be said that I am extremely happy and excited.
It was not until three days before Lin Ya was to marry into the family that Jing Jianglong suddenly became irritable and extremely resistant to the marriage.
Dai Lisi couldn't guess what caused Jing Jianglong's temper and attitude to change drastically, but she was certain that there must be something hidden in it.
And it is certain that Jing Jianglong likes Lin Ya very much.
Only when you really like and care about someone will you get angry, even to the point of vomiting blood.
Otherwise, for a stranger and unrelated person, the mood would not fluctuate so much at all.
It's a good thing that he has his own woman and won't be shy when facing other women. Otherwise, if he is really hurt by Lin Ya and starts to hate women from then on, then the Jing family may still have to cut off the incense inheritance.
Dai Lisi glanced at Jiang Long's profile and thought to herself.
But it didn't take long for her to stop thinking about it.
She came to Jing's Mansion to complete her mission, not to care about and fall in love with Jing Jianglong.
It would be better for her if Jingfu really cut off the incense inheritance.
The Jing family's property, if she could control this huge wealth... There was light shining in Dai Lisi's dark blue eyes like the sea.
However, although she wanted to put an end to Jing's family, she did not want Jing Jianglong to lose his life now.
Now, although she has the trust of Mrs. Jing to temporarily take care of the Jing Mansion, her reputation is not justified.
Not to mention that Lin Ya married into the mansion a few days ago. Jing Mansion already has a real young lady. Even though she, a widow living in the past, was personally appointed by Mrs. Jing to temporarily handle all matters in the mansion, some elderly people in the mansion did not listen to her orders.
of.
Especially Mrs. Jing's two dowry maids, namely Mrs. Zhang Jiang and Mrs. Yao Chen. Not only did these two girls follow her instructions, it would be a great honor if they didn't get into trouble with her someday.
Then there is the old steward who is in charge of the financial power of the mansion and has an extraordinary relationship with Mrs. Jing.
Even Mrs. Zhang Jiang and Mrs. Yao Chen, who had always been arrogant and arrogant in the house, did not dare to put on any airs in front of him.
Otherwise, if the other party is unhappy, they won't be given half a cent.
Obviously, this old steward has the trust of Mrs. Jing. In the eyes of Mrs. Jing, this old steward is even more important than Mrs. Zhang Jiang and Mrs. Yao Chen.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the many constraints in the mansion that Mrs. Jing can safely hand over the power of all matters in the temporary mansion to herself!
Delise sighed secretly in her heart.
It is precisely because it is difficult to control the Jing Mansion that Dai Lisi does not want Jing Jianglong to die early.
She needs time now, time to truly take control of the Jing Mansion in her own hands step by step!
When she truly possesses the wealth and prestige of Jingfu, the top, hum!
While Dai Lisi was thinking about something, Jiang Long suddenly glanced at the old woman next to Dai Lisi.
His expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with fear!
This old woman is not simple!
He was already a man with white hair and was seventy years old. He still didn't blush or breathed when he climbed up the stone steps, and he was still supporting someone.
Searching from the original memory, we learned that this old woman was brought into the house by Delis.
It is said that she was Dai Lisi's dowry when she married into the Jia family.
When a woman gets married in this era, if her family is wealthy, she can bring two dowry maids and a dowry nanny into the backyard of her husband's house. Under normal circumstances, this dowry nanny will be the woman's wet nurse. This way she will be more loyal and will not be betrayed by her husband's family.
People bribe and murder women.
In addition, the girl's natal family will provide some dowry shops and Zhuangzi. These properties need people to take care of them, and they are also managed by the servants brought by the girl's natal family as a dowry.
The old woman seemed to notice Jiang Long's gaze and turned her head to look over.
The dim yellow eyes were dull and emotionless.
Jiang Long withdrew his gaze, secretly wary of the old woman.
The people from Jingfu followed the many people who went up the mountain and climbed up the mountain step by step.
The forward wanted to catch up and walk with Jiang Long, but he was hugged by Qin Yu, who was surrounded by several people and walked behind.
Its body is too majestic and huge, and its image is also very menacing, so it is afraid of scaring others.
Even so, some people who saw the forward through the cracks in the crowd were so frightened that their faces changed color and they hid far away.
He also pointed at the striker.
It was early spring, the branches had just sprouted, the green grass had not yet grown, and the mountains were completely bare. As we climbed higher and higher, the wind gradually became stronger.
Fortunately, before leaving, Yuchai and Baoping changed Jiang Long into thick clothes.
After a while, everyone climbed to the top of the mountain and saw many ordinary people standing around. Just when Mrs. Jing held Lin Ya's arm and walked through the crowd, trying to step into the gate of Jialan Temple, she was suddenly blocked by several people.
The armored sergeant stopped him.
"Which family do you belong to? Today, special envoys and envoys from other countries are offering incense and mourning Master Guichen at Jialan Temple. Non-nobles and family members of officials are not allowed to enter!"
The leader of the sergeant, whose armor shone brightly under the reflection of the sun, was tall and strong, put his right hand on the sword at his waist, and shouted loudly.
Mrs. Jing's expression changed when she heard this.
If it was five years ago, the Jing family was the residence of the Marquis, you could naturally state your name and walk in openly.
But now the Marquis of the Jing family has been taken away!
"We are from Jing Mansion in Ningyuan County." Delise reacted the fastest and stepped forward to tell her her name. She was well-rounded and very resourceful, otherwise she would not have won the favor and trust of Mrs. Jing.
Although Jingfu has lost the title of Marquis now, it was still prosperous back then. Even now, many people still respect Jingfu. If they are really driven away because of their status, then Jingfu's dignity will be completely lost.
Ningyuan County Jingfu?
The leading sergeant recited it silently. Although he shouted loudly before, he was not reckless.
Otherwise, if you really bump into a member of a wealthy family, you may be resented and retaliated by others afterwards, and your life will be in danger.
The reputation of Jingfu in Ningyuan County was unknown to everyone in the capital five years ago, but since the young marquis died in the battle and the Jingfu was deprived of his title, the reputation of Jingfu has gradually declined.
But even so, the sergeant thought about it for a moment, and felt a shiver in his heart at first. After all, the Jing family used to be famous, especially the several princes of the Jing family were famous in the army, but then the sergeant
His expression changed and he was a little undecided.
"Captain Wu, this Jing family is not easy to mess with."
A sergeant standing nearby saw that the team leader was silent for a long time, so he stepped forward and whispered a reminder.
The corps commander frowned when he heard this.
Of course he knew that the Jing family had some reputation, but the problem was that he and the others were not ordinary soldiers.
They are the imperial guards in the palace!
That is, the emperor's personal soldiers.
Can we still be afraid of the Jing family who have lost their title of marquis and military power?
Of course, he was not afraid of returning, and he didn’t want to offend anyone for nothing, so he stepped forward and said, "Old madam, I have been ordered to do this. Family members who are not nobles and officials are not allowed to enter Jialan Temple before noon. You
Even though he has a special status, the lower official still has to send someone in to ask for instructions from the higher official."
The corps commander had softened his attitude by not stubbornly shouting and driving away everyone in the Jing Mansion. Otherwise, the military orders were overwhelming and he would be absolutely merciless. Mrs. Jing was hesitating whether to wait outside the temple gate.
However, at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly came from the temple,
"What are you asking for? Is there anything I can ask for? The Jing family has been deprived of the title of Marquis by the emperor, so they can't even step into the temple gate!"
