Chapter 7 The Jiang Family
After breakfast the next day, Jiang Fuyue sat on the porch and read a book. Jingzhe was waiting for tea, but Guyu was nowhere to be seen.

Until Jiang Fuyue felt bored and put the book aside, rubbing her brows and saying, "Why is it so quiet this morning? Where did Guyu go?"

Jingzhe suppressed her laughter and said, "I heard that Mother Liu took Li Juren to the warehouse, and Gu Yu rushed to watch the excitement!"

"This girl is really running after the excitement." Jiang Fuyue laughed.

"Isn't that right?" Jingzhe also smiled, "Madam has been sitting here for a long time. Please accompany Madam for a walk in the yard."

Jiang Fuyue nodded. As soon as she stood up and walked a few steps, Gu Yu jogged back, not forgetting to ask someone to close the door.

"So happy, what did you hear?" Jiang Fuyue looked at her with a smile.

Guyu walked up to Jiang Fuyue with a smile, and couldn't hide the happiness in his tone: "Madam, you don't know, Li Juren has a very evil eye. He picked seven or eight things from the warehouse at once, and they were all treasures. , together they are more expensive than your dowry, Madam!"

Jingzhe couldn't help but laugh: "The old lady must be unhappy."

The smile on Gu Yu's face became even brighter, and he grinned almost to his ears: "Humph, the unhappy over there in Songshouyuan, the happier I feel! Who told them to plan for the wife's dowry? You deserve to steal the chicken but lose the rice! You deserve it!"

It’s not like there are no good things in the Hou Mansion, but the old lady insists on taking it from Jiang Fuyue’s dowry. The result now is really satisfying!

Jiang Fuyue couldn't help laughing.

Although Gu Yu's mouth was not very good, it didn't sound annoying at all.

The three masters and servants were chatting and laughing and were about to go to the study to paint. The maid guarding the door suddenly came to report that someone had been sent from Songshouyuan and that the old lady had invited Jiang Fuyue to come over to discuss the apprenticeship banquet in five days.

Jingzhe and Guyu looked at each other in confusion: "This old lady is really serious. She just broke up with her yesterday. How can she pretend that nothing happened today and come to see her again?"

I really don’t know what this face is made of!
Jiang Fuyue was quite plain.

The apprenticeship banquet was a big event, and it seemed decent for her, the mistress of the Hou Mansion, to come forward, so it was reasonable for the old lady to come to her.

But the apprenticeship banquet is very troublesome.

Worship the ancestor, perform the apprenticeship ceremony, give the master's invitation and six rites to the husband, and then be lectured by the master. Finally, you have to prepare a family banquet, and you may not be able to breathe from morning to night.

In her previous life, she had found him, and she had personally hosted the apprenticeship banquet. But in this life, she had not invited him, and she did not want to get into the trouble of this apprenticeship banquet.

"Jing Zhe."

"The servant is here."

"Go and tell that person that I haven't been feeling well these days. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold such a big banquet," Jiang Fuyue said. "Besides, I have not raised those children since they were young. If you want to You have to be decent, the old lady is the elder in the house, and the old lady personally comes forward, this is the greatest dignity."

When she entered the mansion, the youngest of the children was already three and a half years old, and Marquis Anyuan even told her personally that she would not be allowed to interfere in the children's affairs.

In her previous life, she had sincerely wanted those children to have a better future, but her sincerity only resulted in raising a pack of white-eyed wolves. Now, she doesn't want to care about them at all.

Whether the Hou Mansion is decent or not, what does it have to do with her.

"Yes."

Jingzhe turned around to send a message, while Jiang Fuyue and Gu Yu went straight to the study.

While spreading paper and polishing ink, Gu Yu asked the question in his heart: "Madam, there are many families in the capital where the elders of the family personally come to attend the apprenticeship banquet. It is impossible for the old lady not to know that, since she wants to If you want to be decent, why do you let me go?" "After all, the old lady doesn't like Li Juren." Jiang Fuyue moved the orchids on the window sill and put them on the paper. The shadow is more beautiful, "If we invite a great scholar of the world back, do you think the old lady will ask me to come forward?"

Gu Yu pouted: "This old lady is really conflicted in her thoughts. She looks down on others, but she wants to pay a lot of money to invite them back to provide for them. What is this?"

"We asked Li Juren to come back because the Hou Mansion couldn't hire a gentleman with better knowledge. It was just a helpless move." Jiang Fuyue dipped her pen in ink, traced the shadow of the orchid onto the paper, and formed it with one stroke, "Go ahead and tell me. , I have been claiming to be ill these past few days, but I haven’t seen anyone.”

"Yes..." Gu Yu nodded. Seeing that there was no place in the study where he could help, he turned around and went out to deliver the message.

After the people from Songshouyuan returned, the old lady got very angry again and smashed a bunch of things. After Gu Yu heard about it, she held her belly and laughed for a while.

Once the gate of Shaoguangyuan was closed, the master and servant finally had a few days of peace.

After eating and sleeping every day, with Guyu and Jingzhe entertaining her, Jiang Fuyue felt that she had not lived such a worry-free life for a long time since her mother passed away.

However, good times never last long. Just after the apprenticeship banquet, a letter came from the Jiang family, asking Jiang Fuyue to go back immediately.

"A letter from the Jiang family?" Jiang Fuyue was a little surprised.

After she got married, the Jiang family seemed to have forgotten her. She was the only one who took the initiative to go back, but the Jiang family never took the initiative to contact her.

"Yes," Jingzhe nodded, "it was Mrs. Jiang's personal mother who personally came to spread the word. No one has left yet!"

It seemed that he was going back with Jiang Fuyue.

"Ah, by the way!" Gu Yu suddenly clapped his hands, "A few days ago, the old lady sent two replies to the letter. Now it seems that she sent it to the Jiang family!"

"Then pack up and go back."

"Yes."

-

Jingzhe quickly prepared the carriage, and the three masters and servants, together with Mrs. Jiang's personal mother, got on the carriage and headed for the Jiang family's mansion.

The head of the Jiang family was only a sixth-rank official, and the location of his residence was much further away than the Anyuan Marquis Mansion. The carriage traveled for half an hour before it stopped.

After getting off the carriage, Jiang Fuyue didn't even have time to take a closer look at her parents' mansion, which she had been away from for most of her life, before she was urged to the main hall by Qin's mother.

In the main hall, Jiang Baisheng and Mrs. Jiang were sitting side by side casually, drinking tea and chatting, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Jiang Baisheng has good features, a tall figure, and is full of majesty. Although he is middle-aged, he is not as pot-bellied as other men, but is exceptionally clean and tidy.

Mrs. Jiang has a soft and charming temperament. Her pair of peach blossom eyes seem to be able to easily attract people's souls. Her smile is even worse. She is wearing a gorgeous pink dress, with a few strands of hair hanging down from her temples, which makes her even more delicate and cute. People can't even tell that this is the mother of three children.

Jiang Fuyue came in and saluted: "My daughter has met her father, madam."

"Fuyue is back, let me take a look!" Mrs. Jiang stood up, greeted her enthusiastically, and walked around her several times, "Oh, look at our Fuyue's whole-body style. It's really different from before. What a difference, she is worthy of being the mistress of the Hou family!"

"However, the wife of the Hou family has a noble status, but she also has responsibilities that she should bear. She is filial to her mother-in-law at the top and raising the children at the bottom. These are your duties and cannot be ignored!" Mrs. Jiang held her hand and spoke earnestly. He said, "I heard that your mother-in-law originally wanted you to handle this apprenticeship banquet, but you contradicted her. What's going on?"
