Bondage

"Mother."

Seeing Mother Jiang coming out, Song Wan saluted slightly and was about to meet Mrs. Jiang, but was stopped by her words.

"Wan'er, come here, mother has something to say to you."

Mother Jiang took Song Wan to the ear room, when there were only two of them left, Mother Jiang said: "Actually, mother guessed why you came today."

"Mother knows?"

Song Wan pinched the gold powder box in her hand, and was a little dazed for a while.

"Mother also came here at your age, so what don't you understand?"

Jiang's mother looked embarrassed: "I also know that Yi'er and Aunt Lin are getting closer, especially when the ice shop and the rouge shop in Fuzhong opened, you are even more unhappy. But Wan'er, don't worry, no matter when you are in Where mother and the old lady are, Aunt Lin can't get past you."

Song Wan was pinching the gold silk powder box of Huanyanzhai in a daze, and frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing her movements, Jiang's mother sighed slightly: "Although Jiang Man and Yi'er opened two shops for Aunt Lin, the money will eventually go into the public house, and has nothing to do with Aunt Lin herself."

"Mother, Wan'er is not jealous of Aunt Lin."

Mother Jiang smiled: "Mother knows that you are not a shallow-sighted person, so naturally she will not be jealous of someone who is not on the stage. It's just that mother is worried that you will drift away from Yi'er if you think wildly."

Outside the door, Mother Jiang's personal servant girl came in, holding a red velvet cloth seal in her hand. Mother Jiang took it and handed it to Song Wan: "This is a pastry shop on Chunfeng Street. It's my mother's dowry. The revenue is not bad. You go ahead." take it."

Putting the deed into Song Wan's hand, Mother Jiang continued: "At the end of the day, we women are not as good as those men, and we don't know much about ordinary people. Maybe we have read two more books, but in front of men who have been running around all the year round , and can only drop a few sentences in the book bag."

"But to a man, such a woman is of no use, perhaps not enough to be close to her and serve her. As a woman, the first thing is to carry on the family line, and the second is to take care of the back house so that men have no worries."

"Look at Mrs. Old Zhen Guogong, that lady's family background is not obvious, she is just the daughter of the leader of a small border clan, but that woman is very good at medical science. Today, [-]% of the medical shops outside are still owned by the old Zhen Guogong's family. In the past [-] years, who in the whole of Beijing would dare to look down on this lady?"

"So Wan'er, look, this woman's birth, appearance, family background are very important, but what is more important is what she can bring to her husband."

"I can't help my husband and son-in-law with anything. What's the use of being a wife?"

"Mother thinks that as a woman, I have to take a long-term view. I can't write two words of Jiang in one stroke. No matter who it is, as long as it contributes to the Hou family, it's women like us who will benefit in the end?"

Mother Jiang took the extravagant gold silk powder box from Song Wan's hand, opened it with a smile, and looked at it: "Although I don't like the Xiuyan Pavilion, I have to admit that it is a good thing. A good thing for the Hou Mansion to turn around."

"Wan'er, what do you think?"

Song Wan almost laughed angrily at Mother Jiang's beating.

She lowered her head, for some reason she found it both funny and sad.

"Mother is right."

Song Wan stood up, said something to go back and reflect on herself, and then she was about to leave. After she had stepped out with one foot, she heard Jiang's mother say again: "Don't be angry with your mother, it's really... Yi'er loves her, A mother can never screw her own child."

Jiang's mother stood up and walked in front of Song Wan, saying word by word, "I thought that Lin Jiayue was a contemptuous woman who only flirts with men, but now I see that she is quite talented."

"This woman is considered to have the foundation of her life, and she is favored by Yi'er. If you keep being jealous with her, it will only make Yi'er unhappy and make the family restless."

"Mother advises you, a woman's body should be soft and soft, don't always screw with Yi Er, and don't always stare at others, think more about yourself. You and Yi Er..."

"Not in the same room yet?"

Song Wan's face turned pale when he heard this, and her pink lips became extremely pale.

Mother Jiang's words were no different from stripping her naked and throwing her into the crowd. All the little maids in Fuhetang were silent when they heard the words, and retreated quietly.It's just that I can't help laughing at Song Wan, Mrs. Hou, who did it, she is really useless.

"What mother said today..."

"Mother, do you still remember that Wan'er is still in charge of the palace?"

"Si Shi, why did you suddenly mention this?"

Song Wan lowered her eyes: "If mother doesn't want Wan'er to be majestic in front of all the servants, then don't bother me here. Wan'er understands what mother said today, and Wan'er will reflect on himself and his past."

After finishing speaking, Song Wan walked out of Fuhe Hall with a white face.

Jiang's mother saw that her eyes were very red, and felt that what she said today was a bit serious. When she tried to chase her out again, she could only see Song Wan's back.

Song Wan strode forward, his mind was blank.

She only felt a ringing in her ears, and the road in front of her became distorted.

It wasn't until she bumped into the man's strong chest that she regained a trace of reason with red eyes.

Jiang Yan said hoarsely, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

He waited outside the courtyard of Fuhetang for a long time, when he saw Song Wan coming out of the courtyard, he wanted to find an excuse to ask something, but he didn't expect that she would run straight towards him without stopping.

The soft and fragrant fragrance fell into his arms, Jiang Yan's mind went blank for a moment, and then he reacted and immediately sent him out of his arms.

He held Song Wan's arms as soon as he touched them, and when he saw the person standing still, he quickly took a step back.

Although she was very reluctant to part with her, she didn't dare to get any closer.

"Sister-in-law..."

Jiang Yan looked up, and saw that Song Wan's cold eyes in the past were now very red, and the tears that were eager to be suppressed could no longer hold back when the two collided, and slid down his cheeks.

Seeing that he lost his composure, Song Wan quickly wiped his face, forced a smile and said, "I made the second master laugh."

"I was the one who was rude, my sister-in-law is."

The cheeks of the person in front of him were flushed, and Jiang Yan's waist and abdomen tightened, and his back was hot.

The sudden turbulent emotion went up to the bone, and Jiang Yan seemed to see his blood and bones burning and boiling.

Song Wan nodded to him and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Yan.

"Second Master, what's the matter?"

The woman's soft voice was choked with imperceptible grievances, Jiang Yan only felt pain and itching at the tip of his heart, and his hands couldn't help shaking slightly.

He put his hands behind his back and clenched into fists.

"I... I want to ask my sister-in-law about my younger brother's marriage to Miss Sun's."

Song Wan pursed her lips and said with a smile when she heard the words: "A few days ago, I had contacts with Madam Sun. I think this marriage is settled, so don't worry, Second Lord."

Jiang Yan stared closely at Song Wan's cherry lips, which were gradually returning to blood, and the tips of his ears burned badly.

As for his marriage with the Sun family, he didn't care at all how it went.
