Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 42 Milk

   Jiang Liu's worries are not superfluous.

In the Jiangjiadong courtyard, the first lady, Mrs. Chen, didn't fall asleep all night. After she woke up, she turned left and right in front of her husband who was reading with dark circles under her eyes. She waited for him to ask "Why is the lady so haggard", and then she could put away the pain in her heart. Big complaint.

   But her husband's eyes never left the book, and he didn't give her a chance to speak! When the Chen family was at a loss, the younger son Jiang Sanlang ran in. After salute his father, he asked angrily, "Father, second uncle is going to the Princess Leyang mansion to work?"

  Jiang Song didn't take his eyes off the book, and said indifferently, "There is absolutely no such thing, don't listen to the rumors from outsiders, and read your book carefully."

   "I said that the second uncle won't go, they still don't believe it!" Jiang Saburo immediately smiled and ran away.

  Why can't we go? Chen shi rubbed up to Jiang Song's side and whispered, "Actually... his second uncle went to work at Princess Leyang's mansion... it's pretty good..."

  Jiang Song turned a page, "Mother will not agree."

  The husband was worried that his mother-in-law would agree, but he didn't say that he didn't want to let the second brother go, which was much easier! Chen shi squeezed her husband and said, "It's true that my mother loves the second brother, but she not only has the second brother and a son, but also the whole family. If the second brother offends Princess Leyang, the Jiang family will be worse off..."

   Jiang Song nodded calmly, "Madam is right."

  Chen Shi was delighted, "If Dalang can enter the palace to study with the princes..."

   "Although Saburo is a little fatter, he doesn't look ugly." Jiang Song suddenly said.

   "What did you say?" Chen Shi was stunned, wondering why her husband suddenly mentioned Saburo. Who said Saburo is ugly? Of course his son is not ugly!

  Jiang Song slowly turned a page of the book, "If Princess Leyang is interested in Saburo, how about Madam?"

  How about that! She can't bear to let Princess Leyang spoil her son! Just thinking about it makes Chen feel disgusting and digging his heart!

"If I want to rely on my second brother to sell my looks to change the future of the Jiang family, I would rather go out of Beijing and return to my hometown to farm! If you dare to show half of it in front of him," Jiang Song closed the book and turned his eyes to look at it with a cold face he had never seen before. His own wife, "Don't blame me for not talking about the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years."

  In the Western courtyard, Jiang Huai stood in front of the window, looking at the tall locust trees in the courtyard. In the late autumn, the leaves of the locust tree have already fallen, and the vigorous branches stretch out in front of Jiang Sanye like an ink painting. This is the yard where my father studied and handled official business. He is a concubine, and it is not his turn to live here.

   The year he got married, he was ready to move to the outer courtyard. It was the second brother who said he wanted to live closer to him and helped him ask his mother for this courtyard, because the second brother knew that he liked this locust tree.

   If it wasn't for the small courtyard on the east side for the two nieces to live in, the second brother's own courtyard would not be as bright as his.

   "Third Master, it's time to go to the North Courtyard to greet my mother." When the time came, and her husband was still in a daze by the window, Mrs Yan reminded him. She is the youngest daughter-in-law, so she has to come before the elder sister-in-law to appear filial.

   Jiang Huai nodded and told his wife, "What happened yesterday, don't talk too much in front of your mother."

   Mrs Yan nodded immediately, "My concubine will not talk too much, we are serious people." Selling the second brother has to lose the face of the family, only the big room can benefit, she is not a fool!

   When Jiang Liu arrived at the North courtyard with his father, brother and sister, the uncle and the third uncle had already arrived. Seeing that everyone greeted each other as before, she put down her heart and opened her mouth to call for her brother and sister.

   Before Jiang Saburo could laugh at Fat Liu's stupidity, he found that the black charcoal head Jiang Ling gave him a sideways look. Jiang Saburo jumped up immediately, "What are you looking at?! Come on, let's fight! I won't knock you down..."

   "Crack!" Jiang Song slapped the back of his son's head, "It's the rules!"

   Before Jiang Sanlang could speak, the old lady's door opened. Jiang Song glared at the younger son so that he would not cause trouble, and then led the crowd in to greet his mother.

   Mrs. Jiang didn't sleep well last night and felt a little out of spirit. After telling everyone to be cautious, she asked Jiang Song to take her younger brother and nephews to the outhouse for dinner, leaving only the female dependents in the house.

When Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yan went to Zhangluo for breakfast, Mrs. Jiang first asked a few granddaughters what she had learned yesterday, then took Jiang Liu's little hand and patted it gently, "Liu girl is getting more and more sensible. Yesterday, Princess Leyang's mansion sent you two pieces of cloth and four boxes of nourishing medicinal herbs, and they will be sent to you later."

  Jiang Liu shook his head, "Ancestor-mother-stay."

   Mrs. Jiang didn't want the things sent by Princess Leyang's mansion, but Liu Yatou said so, she was still very happy, "The grandmother will keep it for you first, and I will use these cloths to make some spring shirts for you next year."

   "Sister-sister-men-also-do." Jiang Liu replied obediently.

   In the past, what was in Liu Girl's hand, no one else would want to come over. Now she is really sensible and knows that she has good things to share with her family. Madam Jiang asked lovingly, "What do you want to eat, my grandmother, let the kitchen cook it for you."

   Here's your chance! Jiang Liu tilted his head and said sweetly, "Drink-cow-milk."

   Milk? Only then did Jiang Lao remember that he hadn't eaten this thing in the house for some days, and Liu girl was greedy. But this dessert can't be made in an hour and a half...

   Jiang Murong saw that her grandmother was silent, and quickly said, "I'll tell the second brother later, and ask him to bring it to the sixth sister when he comes back."

Jiang Muyan stepped forward and saluted, and said the words she had prepared countless times in her heart, "Eldest sister misunderstood, Liumei doesn't want to eat milk snacks, she wants to drink milk. Lang Zhong said that Liumei is weak and drinking milk will help you get better soon. Yan I want to find a cow that gave birth to a calf from Liujiazhuang and bring it back to the mansion, and ask my grandmother for permission."

   This is the longest passage that Mrs. Jiang has heard from her third granddaughter over the years. The return of the head-hunting cow is not a big deal, so Mrs. Jiang said, "Why leave the near and seek far, just bring the head back from Jiangjiazhuang."

   Jiangjiazhuang is five miles south of the city. It is Mrs. Jiang's Zhuangzi. Before her death, Mrs. Tai gave Zhuangzi to her most beloved grandson, Jiang Feng. It is the same from which Zhuangzi the cow is brought. In this way, the grandmother will reward her. If the grandmother is happy, she will save trouble and get the best of both worlds. Just as Jiang Liu was about to nod his head, he heard his sister insist, "There is a calf in Liujiazhuang that just gave birth to a calf."

  This straight-hearted sister... Jiang Liuthi saw that his grandmother's face was about to change, so he quickly learned his father's way, and acted coquettishly in front of his grandmother, "That-a-little-cow, so-cute-love."

   Looking at Liu Yatou's little face that looks like a precious son, Madam Jiang's anger dissipated, she raised her hand and tapped her forehead, pretending to be angry, "I don't think you want to drink milk, you want to see a calf!"

  Jiang Liu took the opportunity to grab his grandmother's big sleeves and shake it, and Mrs. Jiang laughed at her, "Okay, okay!"

   She smiled, and everyone in the room laughed, and the matter was over.

   After returning to the West Courtyard, Jiang Muyan told her father about this, and Erye Jiang ordered a car to go to Liujiazhuang to pull cattle. Unexpectedly, in the evening, the cart that pulled the ox came back, but the ox did not come back.

The steward who made a trip for Bai was furious, "The people in Liujiazhuang said that the Wang family had ordered them, and without the permission of the Wang family, no one can take things out of Liujiazhuang, not to mention cows, not even a single blade of grass. !"

   Jiang Erye snorted, "It's just a cow, who cares about it!"

   Jiang Muyan worried that it was her fault. She should discuss with her grandmother and aunt before asking her father to send someone to pull the cow.

   Jiang Liu frowned and became angry.
