Chapter 11 The head of the family is angry

When they arrived at the mother's house, Jiang Wanhe was alone. When Mrs. Fu saw her daughter-in-law without her daughter, she asked, "Ling'er?"

"Even though it's too cold outside, go back to the yard and rest."

"Okay, Madam Cicada, the weather is unusual this year. It has been snowing for half a month, and it is extremely cold when the snow melts. If you order me, we can add two more baskets of charcoal to each yard."

"Yes, ma'am"

Cicada Girl nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Fu took Jiang Zhengxue's hand and said, "There are still three empty courtyards in the mansion. Since you like the library, how about I give you the study room next to the library?"

Jiang Wanhe's expression changed. Although this study was next to the library, it was farthest from the master's study.

Usually only the head of the family would go there if he was on a short vacation. On weekdays, Butler Ke would come in and out to pick up books.

"There is a book to read."

"Mom, the college's book inspector has read it all a long time ago. There are few books that he has not read. Reading miscellaneous books is not the first priority. It is to seek answers to questions. It is better to put him in Xuanli courtyard, away from the master's study. It’s also close, and it’s convenient for the head of the family to check his brother’s homework.”

You must know that Xuanliyuan was the house that Fu built for her third child, but the courtyard had been empty after the accidental miscarriage. Even though many years have passed, Fu still gets choked up when thinking about it.

She has a son and a daughter, and has never thought about getting pregnant again. It is not inappropriate to give the unused yard to Jiang Zhengxue to sweep away the dust inside and add some popularity.

Mrs. Fu nodded after thinking, "In that case, let's go to Xuanliyuan!"

"Look, it will be noon in a little while. Mother Cicada, send someone to invite the young master of the house to come over for dinner."

Cicada agreed and ordered her servants to invite the master of the house to come to the mother's house.

"Wanwan, I suddenly remembered something!"

"Mom, I just said it's okay."

"The thing is like this. A few days ago, I took a fancy to your pair of gold wedding bracelets. I thought about how beautiful the quality and style were. I couldn't eat or sleep well after thinking about it."

Mrs. Fu continued, "Yesterday, when your sister-in-law saw me doing that, she went to your trousseau to find out which shop made it. She didn't expect to step on your mouse trap. The injury was not serious, but she was in trouble. What a big joke."

"Don't get me wrong, okay?"

"My sister-in-law told me about this. I don't blame her. I hope she recovers and doesn't blame me for setting the trap too hard!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Fu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, I will definitely tell you first when I go to your place in the future."

Does that mean you are still thinking about her dowry?

Jiang Wanhe put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and spoke to Mrs. Fu.

"It's okay. I'm going to bring the pair of bracelets over now for my mother to see. What kind of trick kept her awake all night. My daughter-in-law wants to see the difference between my pair of bracelets and those outside!"

Jiang Wanhe left after saluting. When he passed by Jiang Zhengxue, he said, "I still have a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones idle in my warehouse. You bought them for me at the beginning, and now I reward you!"

"Thank you sister!"

Jiang Zhengxue didn't want to leave, and wanted to enjoy lunch at the mother's house. When he heard his sister said that she wanted to give him a new set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, he saluted and hurriedly chased her out.

When Mrs. Fu saw the Jiang siblings leaving, she shook her head and frowned, "I actually took the younger brother Mo into the house."

Cicada Lady spoke next to her, "Madam, don't worry, a set of pens and ink doesn't cost much money. The lady lives her life under our noses, so she won't dare to go too far."

At this time, the cicada was not alone. Mother Wu's dog-beating stick hit her most distressed daughter!
"Of course it won't cost much money just for this little thing. I'm afraid she might have other things in mind."

Mrs. Fu looked at the pair of figures walking further and further away. Outsiders were outsiders, and she couldn't rest assured.

At this time, Gong Lianshan and Gong Hean walked in, followed by Shen Weiyue.Shen Weiyue has a slender figure and a fair face. She doesn't look like a maid even in coarse clothes. No wonder her son is so obsessed with her.

"Mom, dad and I are here to beg for food!"

"What are you talking about! What are you begging for! Move away!"

Everyone moved to the dining pavilion.

Gong Lianshan just took his son to the study room to discuss matters. The discussion was about whether He An could speak smoothly last night and raised Xiangguan soldier rations from Boss Jiang. He didn't expect his daughter to cause trouble in the house. He An had eaten half of the meal last night. Being called back to the palace by her mother, there was no time to mention that matter.

At this moment, he frowned deeply. He didn't see the worried daughter from the left and right, and told Cicada, "Go and invite the second young lady over!"

Mrs. Fu looked at her son's gloating expression and secretly felt that she must have done something yesterday to delay the business and make the head of the family unhappy.

She got up and poured a cup of warm tea for the owner of the house, and took the initiative to plead for herself and her daughter.

"Yesterday she was injured by a mousetrap. The pain was so painful that she burst into tears. As a mother, I feel so distressed that I can't bear to see it."

"boom!"

Gong Lianshan smashed the tea bowl on the table while he was drinking, "What's more important, her son or the tens of thousands of soldiers outside the Xiangnan Pass who don't have enough to eat and clothing to keep warm?"

"Yesterday I asked He An to accompany Wan Wan back home and pick up Jiang Zhengxue. The reason was to raise food, and you two got into trouble!"

"Tell me! What do you want to do about this?"

"I, I'm going, I'm going to talk to my in-laws."

Mrs. Fu's little heart almost jumped out of her chest due to the fright of the family master.

"Let's talk? Do you think Jiang Yanshang will give you so much food if you ask now?"

"Otherwise, what's the point of you women having breasts but no brains and arguing about having three meals and one night every day?"

"The soldiers under my son are all waiting for him to finish his wedding leave and bring them food and congratulations to the army. Is it possible for you to let your son go back empty-handed?"

"me"

Mrs. Fu can't say a word now!
Tens of thousands of people's food rations and tens of thousands of lives were suddenly placed on her head. Of course she was too frightened to speak!
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Shen Weiyue suddenly stepped forward and knelt at the foot of Gonglian Mountain.

"For the record, my master, I have a method that can solve the current urgent need!"

"How presumptuous! Does the master have any place for a slave like you to speak!"

Faced with Shen Weiyue's interruption, Cicada went up and pulled her out.

"Cicada, don't touch her! Her knees are not healed yet!"

Gong Hean brought Shen Weiyue over and gave her a chance to make meritorious deeds in front of her father.

"What can you do?"

Gong Lianshan looked at Shen Weiyue.

The Gong and Shen families are aristocratic, but the Shen family has a small official position. Gong Lianshan rarely took the initiative to go to the Shen mansion before, and naturally rarely saw Shen Weiyue, so there was no friendship.

"Yueyue, my father is like that. He looks fierce but has a soft heart. Tell me, what good idea have you come up with?"

"My distant cousin Liu Mingxi not only sells tea, but also sells old grain. You can ask him to buy some old grain and transport it to Xiangnan County. The old grain is cheap and it doesn't cost much."

Everyone looked at Shen Weiyue and frowned.
