Strange love across time and space

Jiang Wen was not angry because of his sister's attitude. Instead, he was even more attentive. He said to Mrs. Jiang, "Mom! Ronger's family finally came back and asked the kitchen to cook more hard dishes." Mrs. Jiang was also not impressed by her daughter just now. Affected by her speaking attitude, all she can think about now is that the Su family is different from the past. A second-rank official can go to court and meet with the emperor every day! The emperor was able to reward the Su family with the palace of the previous dynasty, and he was able to make Su Qing the county head. This shows that he is very fond of the Su family. From now on, the Jiang family will follow the chickens and dogs to heaven. Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang said with a smile "I've told the kitchen a long time ago, but I'm afraid that the kitchen is not doing well. Boss, you should hurry up and talk to the kitchen in person. It's best to supervise them. It's not easy for my daughter and son-in-law's family to come back. Don’t be perfunctory!”!

"Yes, mother, I'll go right away!" Jiang Wen's wife, Mrs. Wu, responded hurriedly and hurried towards the kitchen. Just now, Grandma Zhou said that her sister-in-law and her family were back. The old lady asked everyone to go to the front yard. Mrs. Wu She hadn't taken it seriously yet, so what if she hadn't come back for ten years? She remembered that when her husband and father-in-law came home from the capital in anger, and said that the Jiang family and the Su family would never have contact with each other in the future, she realized that it was her sister-in-law's family who didn't want to Wu was also very angry at the time when she helped the Jiang family gain a foothold in the capital. When her father-in-law and brother-in-law passed away, her sister-in-law's family came back twice, and both times the Jiang family did not give the Su family a good look. I remember that the last time the Su family came, Su Qing was just a six-year-old girl. She didn't expect that she would become the head of the county now. Thinking that her second son had not yet gotten married, Wu's smile became more obvious.

The main hall of the Jiang family was already full of people. Jiang Rong had already calmed down. On the other side of the Eight Immortals table, Su Qixuan was sitting expressionlessly. He was forced to sit on the chair by Jiang Wen. Having been the son-in-law of the Jiang family for more than 20 years, this is the first time Su Qixuan has been treated like this, and he can't help feeling a little sad. Sure enough, he is poor in the downtown area and no one cares about him, but rich in the mountains he has distant relatives! Jiang Wen sat under Su Qixuan and got close to him warmly. He didn't care at all about Su Qixuan's expressionless face. Instead, he thought that this was the aura that a second-grade official should have. Beneath Jiang Wen sat his two sons with Wu. Opposite, Mrs. Jiang was introducing people from the Jiang family to Su Qing with a smile, "Qingqing, you are getting more and more beautiful as you grow older!" Then she pointed at the woman next to Su Qing and said, "Qingqing, this is your second aunt Han. , the person who went to the kitchen just now is your eldest aunt Wu, and behind your second aunt is your cousin Jiang Mei. Your cousin was born in February, and is only a few months older than you. You sisters are the same age, and the capital is not far from Fuyang. You have to come and go often!" Su Qing stood up and wanted to salute her second aunt Han, but Han held her in her arms and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it. You are the head of the county now, so you can't give me this introduction. If a woman salutes, if others find out, they will say I don’t understand the rules.” Su Qing didn't want to salute her anyway, so after hearing what Han said, she nodded with a smile and sat down again. Jiang Mei on the side saw her aunt's family dressed in brocade and silk as soon as they entered the door. Although her cousin didn't have many hairpins, she could tell that each one was valuable. She couldn't help but be jealous. When she learned that her uncle was now a second-rank official, she immediately wanted to cling to him. Especially when she saw that her cousin Su Rui was a talented man and was also an official, Jiang Mei's heart was suddenly filled with nowhere to rest. Layers of ripples. Jiang Mei is now seventeen years old, and everyone her age has been married long ago, but she herself has been dragging her feet until now. She just saw a man with a handsome face and extraordinary temperament in the yard. Jiang Mei was immediately fascinated by his charm. However, when her uncle inquired, she found out that he was a guard of the Su family. Jiang Mei couldn't help but feel sorry for him and secretly looked at him. After a few glances, he followed reluctantly into the house.

Mrs. Jiang pointed to a young woman next to Jiang Mei and said, "This is your eldest cousin-in-law Wu, she is your aunt's niece." Little Wu bowed slightly to Su Qing, and Su Qing remained decent. He smiled and nodded at her, feeling ashamed in his heart. Sure enough, many people in ancient times married close relatives.

Then I heard Mrs. Jiang say, "Sitting under your uncle over there are your eldest cousin Jiang He and your second cousin Jiang Feng." Su Qing followed Mrs. Jiang's hand and looked over, and saw the second cousin Brother Jiang Feng smiled at him, and Su Qing couldn't help but tremble in her heart. This smile seemed to have some hidden meaning! Mrs. Jiang then sighed to Mrs. Jiang, "Feng'er's kid is already twenty-one. The marriage was originally arranged a few years ago. Unexpectedly, the Jiang family's business was not going as well, and the woman came to cancel the marriage. "Su Qing applauded the girl who broke off the engagement in her heart. Congratulations, you didn't fall into the wolf's den!

While they were talking, aunt Wu walked in and said with a smile, "Mom, the food is ready. Let's go to the dining room!" Mrs. Jiang stood up, pulled Su Qing and Jiang, one on each side, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Let's chat while eating." After saying that, he winked at his eldest son Jiang Wen, who immediately respectfully led Su Qixuan and others.

As soon as she entered the dining room, Su Qing saw a large table full of dishes, all delicious and delicious. She probably had enough ingredients prepared for the New Year to be able to cook so many dishes in such a short time. Jiang Wen hurriedly greeted everyone, "Let's all sit down. We are all a family. There are no distinctions between men and women. This dining table is big enough. Come on, brother-in-law, take a seat!" Su Qixuan was not polite and followed Jiang Wen's instructions. She sat down at the right place, and Mrs. Jiang also sat down, looking at the dishes on the dinner table coldly. She brought her family back before, and the Jiang family's business was doing well at that time, but they only entertained them with a few home-cooked dishes. . But now, just because the Su family has been promoted, even though the Jiang family is exhausted, they can still entertain them with such a banquet. How can Jiang's heart not be cold? I couldn't help but snorted and said lightly, "When we came here before, there were only a few home-cooked dishes. Today, I'm really flattered by the meal." He looked at Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wu and said with a half-smile. "Mom, sister-in-law, is there something wrong with the food?"

Everyone was not stupid, they could all tell that Jiang was mocking the Jiang family, and they didn't say anything. Wu smiled sarcastically, "Rong'er, what are you talking about? Your family hasn't been back for many years, so it's appropriate to entertain your family at this banquet." Before Jiang could speak, Mrs. Jiang took her hand and sighed, "Rong'er, don't you know? Since your father and second brother passed away, the situation of our Jiang family has been getting worse every year. As you saw on the way here, there are not many servants in the mansion..." As he said that, he tried the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

After dinner, Jiang and Su Qixuan were dragged into talking by the Jiang family. They didn't even eat a few bites of food. Rather than talking, they were actually complaining more about how difficult it has been for the Jiang family these years. Su Qing and Su Rui listened to them without stopping with the chopsticks in their hands.
