MTL - Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang-Chapter 4 incompetent for husband
Chapter 4 Incompetence
Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang turned her head around and aimed at her younger son who was widowed for four months, "Young girl is young, you are not too young! Mother has to marry you again and take back your heart!"
Uncle Jiang nodded immediately, "What mother said is very true. There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no offspring is the greatest." There are three brothers, only the second brother has no son, and Uncle Jiang is worried for him.
Jiang Erye has his own countermeasures, "The eldest brother has many sons, whichever is not pleasing to the eye will be adopted by the younger brother."
Mr. Jiang is eight years older than Mr. Jiang. Now he has three sons and two daughters. Compared with Mr. Jiang who has no son, he really can afford the word "more".
But even if the eldest brother has many sons, there is no reason to give his 26-year-old second brother an adopted son! Uncle Jiang stared, and Mrs. Jiang gave the chestnuts again, "Are you useless or incompetent, what can you do to rob your brother's son!"
Jiang Er Ye has always been pampered and his skin is very tender. He covered the forehead of Hongsai Wanxia, who had been beaten by the old lady, raised his eyes and said pitifully, "I'm useless and incompetent, so my mother and eldest brother don't use me anymore, okay? I've listened to your words, I've already married once. ."
He and his deceased wife Wang Shi had different temperaments and temperaments. After ten years of marriage, Jiang Erye felt that she was so angry that if she stood in a row, she could go from Beijing to Yanmenguan! Jiang Muyan, the daughter taught by Wang's family, is also at odds with him as a father. Thanks to the foresight of the grandmother, Mrs. Jiang Tai, she rejected Wang's proposal and pointed Zhao Qingling to be a wet nurse for the sixth girl, otherwise, none of his two daughters would be considerate!
Now the sweet little chubby girl, lying on the bed can't move. Thinking of this, Jiang Erye felt more and more pitiful.
The expression in his son's eyes immediately made Mrs. Jiang feel distressed. She took her son's hand and rubbed his forehead lightly, "It's my mother's fault, my mother..."
"Don't need it! Now I want to honor my mother, help my eldest brother to relieve the troubles, and raise two daughters. Mother let the two girls go to Zhuangzi, right?" Jiang Erye shook his mother's sleeves, struggling pleading. Marrying a wife is better than taking a few concubines, obedient and considerate!
Uncle Jiang also knows what the second brother is afraid of. He is afraid that he and his mother will marry him for the sake of the Jiang family. That's why he was in such a hurry to get out of the house, right? Uncle Jiang couldn't bear it any longer, "Mother, let the second brother go. There have been many things in the house in recent years, and he has helped with the inside and outside. Maybe he hasn't left the city for a long time to relax."
Jiang Erye immediately smiled and said, "This time the younger brother will go first with the two girls. When we come back, the elder brother will take the mother and the elder sister and leave it to me in the manor, don't worry!"
I can rest assured which one is entrusted to you! Mrs. Jiang and Uncle Jiang sighed at the same time.
The second brother left happily. Seeing that the old mother's face was getting worse and worse, Uncle Jiang quickly persuaded him, "Second brother has become more sensible, so mother should be happy. Sixth girl's illness, Erhui will ask someone to ask for an imperial doctor, these few days. I'm not feeling well, just ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse together."
If a few years ago, the husband was still working in the Ministry of Punishment and the son was still working in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, it would not be a big deal for the Jiang family to ask for an imperial physician, but now that the husband has gone and the son's official has been lost, it would be difficult to hire an imperial physician again. sky. Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "The matter of the imperial doctor, we can't have the Wang family. Let your daughter-in-law go to the west courtyard to see the sixth girl, and take the third girl to pack the luggage for leaving the house. I'm afraid they will have to stay for a while when they go."
The granddaughter is fine. Mrs. Jiang is mainly worried that her son is not used to living outside, and he is wronged.
"Yes, I will also go to the front yard to have a look, so that the second brother will not be careless and forget things."
After the eldest son left, Mrs. Jiang stared at Gui Ye, which was lit by the hot sun outside the window for a long time, and then instructed her confidant, "Send the four bird's nests to the west courtyard, and told Qing Ling to take good care of their father. Female."
Mrs. Liu bowed her knees. The four bird's nests mentioned by the old lady were sent by my aunt a few days ago to honor the old lady. No matter the color or smell, they are the best among the bird's nests. The old lady didn't want to use it. Although she didn't specify who to send it to the West Hospital, Mrs. Liu understood that the old lady was asking the third girl to use the bird's nest to go to the Wang's house as a favor, and asked the Wang family to help the sixth girl to get the imperial doctor.
Who would have thought that the six girls fell into the water in the summer and became so ill. Madam Liu quickened her pace, and she had to let the third girl understand the old lady's intention for the sixth girl.
Who knew that when she rushed to the west courtyard, she realized that Wang Xiangzhi had gone to Wang's house to deliver the letter empty-handed... Mrs. Liu kept her bird's nest down and returned to the north courtyard.
East courtyard, inside the Jiang family's big room.
Mrs. Chen heard that the sixth girl who fell into the water and lost her soul was going to be sent to the farm to rest. She just felt guilt, but she heard that her mother-in-law sent all the bird's nests that she had been thinking about for several days to the second room, and immediately turned sour.
She touched her rough face and whispered beside her husband, "This morning, my concubine took her to greet her mother, and her mother didn't even give half a bird's nest to see Rong'er's face so bad. How old is Liuliu? So much she could eat..."
Jiang Song saw that his wife was so incapable of keeping her mouth shut, she immediately put down the pen and sighed, "It's all because of my husband's incompetence, which has caused my wife and children to suffer."
Chen Shi hurriedly stood up, "How can you blame the master!"
"If you don't blame your husband, who else can you blame?" Jiang Song blamed himself even more.
Of course, I blame the confused father-in-law who left such a big mess! If it is said that the hardest part of the family is her husband... Mrs. Chen loves her husband, and she doesn't care about souring those bird's nests, "I will go to the west courtyard to visit the sixth girl! Don't worry, my master, I will take care of the matter. It's done right, and people can't pick out a single fault."
"There is a lady who takes care of the second brother and two children, and the husband is most at ease." Uncle Jiang looked at his wife earnestly, "There is Mrs. Lao."
"It's all my own business. These are the things that the concubine should do. When the master met the second brother, he told him that when Saburo returned from the school, he would go to the second uncle to apologize." Chen looked at her husband eagerly. , I hope he can shake his head and say: They are all a family, what to say to apologize.
Never thought about it, but the husband nodded, "It's still Madame who thought about it carefully."
Chen Shi secretly beat his chest and feet, and had to smile on his face, "Master, my concubine is gone."
"Madame has worked hard."
The humming of his wife was missing from his ears, and Jiang Song quickly figured out the second brother's departure and went to the front yard to find him. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the front yard, the second brother was sleeping soundly on the bamboo bed under the big tree.
Jiang Song asked Jiang Hou'er softly, "Second brother didn't sleep well last night?"
Not only didn’t sleep well, but didn’t sleep well at all! Jiang Hou'er bowed his head and replied vaguely, "Second Master has worked hard all night for the Sixth Girl, and I just fell asleep."
The second brother has grown up, and he knows that he loves his daughter. Jiang Song was relieved and distressed, "I ordered to go on, don't let anyone disturb him to rest, I will send someone to arrange it properly."
Jiang Hou'er sent the uncle away, and when he returned to the courtyard, he saw the second master, who was still sleeping soundly just now.
Jiang Hou'er laughed, "Second Master?"
"Go and ask and see what the **** that stinky boy Saburo has done these days." Jiang Erye ordered, that stinky boy dared to bully his fat girl, he really thought he was a paper tiger who was the second uncle!
"The little one has already inquired about it." Jiang Hou'er coughed and was about to start speaking when the gatekeeper came in again to report that Concubine Li was here.
Jiang Erye's handsome face collapsed and his eyes closed. Jiang Hou'er immediately understood, the second master didn't even want to hear the uncle's nagging, let alone an aunt's, "Master is tired and resting, no one is there."
Aunt Li stomped her feet and turned around outside the door, tearing at the veil and scolding that it must be some fox outside the mansion who was tired of the second master.
After she left, the little maid who was poking her head in the corner gloatingly retracted herself, and ran back to Xiaokuayuan to inform Aunt Xue.
The gatekeeper glanced at her back and made a gesture to Jiang Houer in the courtyard. Jiang Houer understood and whispered in Erye Jiang's ear with a wonderful expression.
