Chapter 63: invite

Before the maids came in and waited on her, Jiang Qian put on her clothes to endure the pain of her body, walked to the window and opened the window.
The wind blew in, with the invigorating warmth, mixed with the extravagant smell of the house, and there was a fragrant and nauseous feeling.
Jiang Qian was already used to these things, standing by the window and staring at the bunch of green bananas outside.
Having lost such a big person in the Bo's Mansion, these days she has seen ridicule in the eyes of those people in the Hou's Mansion. She originally wanted to slow down and then ask Jiang Si to come over, but Cao Xingyu couldn't wait.
She didn't dare to delay any longer, because she knew better than everyone what kind of person Cao Xingyu was. Once that person went crazy, he would be irrational.
It's better to be sparse. Instead of letting him poke out a huge basket to hurt her together, it is better to heed his mind and invite Jiang Si to come and let him see.
Jiang seems to be her cousin, a decent noble lady, and Cao Xingyu won't mess around for the time being, at best, she's over eye addiction.
A maid's request came from outside the door, Jiang Qian responded, ignoring the maids who filed in, and raised her foot to the study.
In her current situation, it is not so easy to ask Jiang Si to visit the house.
In her grandmother's mind, she was the one who brought bad luck. Even if Jiang Si was willing to come, her grandmother would most likely not agree.
Jiang Qian wrote two letters carefully and ordered them to the Dongping Bofu.
When the second wife Xiao received Jiang Qian's letter, her tears fell directly, and she went to Cixintang with her red eyes.
There was babble singing from the Tzu Xin Tang.
After Mrs. Feng's eyes improved, she gained a hobby of watching theaters. With the financial resources of the Bofu, she wanted to raise a troupe all year round. It was quite uneconomical. Fortunately, Master Jiang Er was a filial piety and bought it from the troupe. Two girls in their early tens specially coax the old lady to be happy.
"Old lady, the second wife is here."
It was not the time to ask for peace. Mrs. Feng did not move her eyebrows. She still closed her eyes and tapped, listening to two little girls in costumes singing.
Mrs. Feng's indifference towards Xiao, undoubtedly showed clearly.
In fact, Cixintang understands that this is the old lady who is still annoyed by the second aunt and grandma.
It’s no wonder that Mrs. Feng is angry. Liu Xiangu’s ritual has inexplicably become the focus of attention in the capital, but that’s all, but Liu Xiangu was killed again. The officials and messengers in Shuntian Mansion have been making trouble for many days, even the shadow of the murderer. Did not catch it.
What is the most talked about in this world? It is not something that has passed, but something that is pending.
The murderer of Liu Xiangu has not been found for a day, and the people in Beijing will not be less enthusiastic about the matter in a short time. Then Liu Xiangu's involvement with Dongping Bofu will be chewed over and over again.
Now there is even a saying that Liu Xiangu pointed out that Mrs. Changxing Hou Shizi was possessed by evil men, which caused the loss of Changxing Hou Mansion, which led to the murder.
Of course, this kind of statement is very ridiculous. The high-ranking people just laughed when they heard it, but the people who listened to the wind and the rain continued to spread rumors, and the more they talked, the more they have noses and eyes.
Mrs. Feng felt so angry at the thought of this, and it was strange that her attitude towards Xiao was good.
Xiao was invited in after standing outside for two quarters of an hour.
"Something?"
Xiao's holding a small box smiled and said, "This is a string of agarwood beads that Brother Cang got by chance. Knowing that you like it, he hastened to send it back."
Hearing Xiao's mention of the eldest grandson, Mrs. Feng's expression was a little slow, and she motioned to A Fu to take the box over, and said lightly: "He is not good at studying, what will he spend his mind on?"
Xiao immediately said: "It is a matter of course to be filial to the old lady, how can it be called Huaxinsi."
Mrs. Feng closed her eyes slightly, rubbing the palm-sized mahogany box.
Her displeasure is real, but no matter how unpleasant she looks at her second daughter-in-law, it is impossible to leave this home to the third daughter-in-law.
The face will eventually be reserved for the second daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Feng opened her eyes and said lightly: "You have this filial piety, I know."
Xiao Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his smile on his face grew thicker, and he considered: "Today Qianer sent a letter to the old lady..."
She spoke and took out the letter.
Mrs. Feng's face instantly sank: "Either ran to her natal house twice in three days, or sent a letter to her natal house in three days, can she not survive her life in the Hou Mansion?"
Xiao's eyes touched the corner of his eyes when he heard the words: "Old lady, Qian'er really can't live her life in the Hou Mansion. She was originally married, and she hasn't noticed any movement in her stomach for the past two years. She can stand firm in the Hou Mansion. It’s your love, but now—"
Mrs. Feng was unmoved.
Xiao's teeth clenched secretly, and his face was pleading: "Old lady, you know, Qian'er has been a sensible since she was a child, and she must not disturb your cleanliness. She just wants to invite her sisters to stay in the Hou Mansion for two days. , So as not to prevent those people in the Hou Mansion from stepping on the ground from seeing her and our Mansion's joke..."
The meaning of Xiao’s words is very clear. Because of Liu Xiangu’s matter, the Houfu thought that the Bofu didn’t take this married girl seriously. If the girls of the Bofu were willing to go to the Houfu for two days at this time, This guess was naturally self-defeating, and it also solved Jiang Qian's dilemma.
Madam Feng listened to Xiao's words expressionlessly, her eyes fell on the letter.
The letter read a row of beautiful characters: granddaughter Qianer knocked on grandmother.
Looking at the familiar handwriting, Mrs. Feng softened a bit.
She didn’t want to see her eldest daughter-in-law from the beginning. The eldest daughter-in-law’s granddaughter was dull and stupid, and naturally she didn’t like it. The second granddaughter, who was about the same age as the eldest granddaughter, was smart and pleasing since she was a child. The granddaughter's enlightenment and calligraphy began in the Bisha cupboard of Cixintang.
Mrs. Feng thought for a while, and opened the letter.
Jiang Qian's eloquence and kindness were fully revealed in the letter, and Mrs. Feng's expression eased after reading the letter.
Xiao took the opportunity to ask: "Old lady, you have to pity poor Qian'er. My daughter-in-law heard the letter from the woman who delivered the letter and said that Qian'er is now a bone thin..."
"Fine, it's a good time now, let them go out to get some air." Mrs. Feng finally relieved.
Xiao looked overjoyed.
Mrs. Feng's tone changed: "But the words are ahead. If they cause trouble in the past and make Houfu read a joke, Qian'er cannot escape the responsibility of being a sister!"
"Old lady, you can rest assured that Qian'er is the most loving sister and will definitely accompany her sisters well."
Haitang was in the center, Jiang Si took Jiang Qian's invitation and looked at it, and threw it on the desk, instructing Ah Qiao: "Go and find out if the other girls have received any posts."
Soon Ah Qiao came to report: "Girls three, girls five, and girls six have all received it."
This result was not unexpected to Jiang, but it made her sigh.
Two days later, the four girls from Bo's House took the same carriage and left for Changxing Hou's House.
