Strange love across time and space

From the words of the Jiang family, Su Qing understood that her grandfather and second uncle were relatively smart in business, while the eldest uncle just took the title of the eldest son. In fact, he was not good at management. Most of the time, he followed his elders. His father and second brother ran errands behind him. Since the death of his grandfather and second uncle, the Jiang family has relied on the wealth they had worked hard to survive. Apart from the Wu family and Han family's own dowry, Jiang Wen is taking care of the outside shop Zhuangzi. Without the guidance of his father and younger brother, Jiang Wen's business management was in a mess. Some shopkeepers were even poached by others. Gradually, some shops became less profitable at the beginning, then became unprofitable, and finally became Lose money. Jiang Wen simply sold all the shops that were losing money, and now the Jiang family only has two small shops and a few half-dead shops left to hold on.

Two years ago, his eldest cousin Jiang He fell in love with Xiao Wu, his mother's cousin, who came to Jiang's house as a guest. Wu thought that Xiao Wu was a relative of her natal family and knew everything about her. In addition, although the Wu family was just a small businessman, Jiang The family is not what it used to be, so after discussing with Jiang Wen and Mrs. Jiang, we married little Wu back. Now, Xiao Wu has been married for two years, and her stomach has not moved yet, which makes the Jiang family extremely anxious. They see the doctor every now and then and take medicine to no avail. The Wu family even had plans to give Jiang He a concubine, but the Jiang family was currently short of money, so they were holding off for the time being.

Second cousin Jiang Feng made an appointment to marry his baby when he was a child. At that time, the girl's family also took a fancy to the Jiang family's financial resources. Unexpectedly, the Jiang family was in decline. Two years ago, someone from the girl's family canceled the marriage. Jiang Wen and Wu originally thought that after their second daughter-in-law came over, their in-laws could help the Jiang family, but they didn't expect that they had no plans to alleviate poverty at all. Wu was so angry that she called others snobbish all day long.

Mrs. Jiang originally hoped that her two grandsons could make some achievements in business and revive the Jiang family's business life, but things went counterproductive. Jiang He, like his father, had no talent for business, and Jiang Feng was even less talented. He has no interest in doing business and only wants to win the national examination. The Jiang family originally supported Jiang Feng's studies. They thought that if Jiang Feng really succeeded in the national examination and worked as an official, the Jiang family would also benefit from it. However, Jiang Feng was studying His literary qualifications are mediocre and he failed to pass the exam after several years. Now he is twenty-one years old and has no time at home. He only eats and drinks every day and just reads. Jiang Wen wants his second son to abandon literature and go into business. A woman from a small business family got married, but Wu and Jiang Feng disagreed. Especially Jiang Feng, who always called himself a scholar and made friends with poor scholars. He often said, "I If he wins the imperial examination sooner or later, he will marry a woman from an official family. Jiang Wen tried to persuade him several times, but when his wife and son didn't listen, he gave up.

Let’s talk about my second uncle’s family. Ten years ago, my second uncle took a few servants on a trip to buy goods. As a result, they were robbed by bandits on the way. Not only were their money and goods robbed, but no one was left alive. From then on, the second aunt Han took care of her daughter Jiang Mei, who was only six years old at the time, and lived in the Jiang family. Because of the death of her second uncle, Mrs. Jiang cherished her only daughter, and the Han family lived a pretty good life. In addition, the Han family often taught Jiang Mei that they had to please the old lady so that they could live well in the Jiang family. Therefore, Jiang Mei learned to flatter her at a young age and often made the old lady Jiang happy, so that Jiang Mei Mei's status in the Jiang family is no less than that of Jiang He and Jiang Feng. When she turned fifteen and had hair extensions, the Jiang family wanted to find Jiang Mei a husband-in-law. As a result, people with better conditions looked down on the Jiang family, and Jiang Mei, who was not well-off, refused to marry. .

In the dining room, Mrs. Jiang asked Nanny Lin to bring gifts for everyone. The gifts for her two nephews were the Four Treasures of the Study and a jade crown for men to tie their hair, both of which were made of fine materials. The gift given to Jiang Mei was a pair of white jade heads and faces. The jade quality was exquisite and there was no flaw at all. Jiang Mei couldn't put it down and kept thanking her happily. What they gave to Mrs. Jiang and her two sisters-in-law were several pieces of fine brocade. Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Han kept staring at the beautiful and gorgeous brocades, for fear that they would fly away. Mrs. Jiang held Mrs. Jiang's hand. , kept praising.

It took nearly two hours to finish the meal, and the food had been reheated twice. I was already very tired after riding the carriage all the way, and it was already midnight. The Jiang family had no plans to let her go yet, and Su Qing was already leaning against her bed in sleep. She dozed off on the back of the chair. When Mrs. Jiang saw it, she realized that it was already very late. Then she said to Su Qixuan and Jiang Rong embarrassedly, "Look, we haven't seen each other for so many years. When we meet, we have endless things to talk about." , you are tired from the journey. My dear, please take Ronger's family to the guest room to rest." Mrs. Wu quickly and diligently led the Su family, holding Su Qing's hand and saying compliments all the way. She said it directly. Su Qing is almost suffering from embarrassment!

When they arrived at the guest room, Su Qing didn't care how simple it was and dove into the quilt. Suddenly, a musty smell came. Even so, Su Qing was unwilling to get up. Although Qingzhu was also very tired, she still said, "Miss, please wash up before going to bed." Su Qing closed her eyes and muttered, "I won't wash it anymore. I'll wash it again tomorrow morning! By the way, where's the Phantom?"

"Phantom has gone down to rest." Qingzhu replied helplessly.

"Oh, then you should go to bed quickly! I'm so exhausted!" Su Qing's voice became weaker and weaker.

Su Qing had already fallen asleep, but. Su Qi "?" Jiang Shi snorted coldly, "I already expected it when I came here. I still have the same attitude as before. I don't object to them wanting to come to the capital to do business, but if they want you and Rui'er to do illegal things, I'll give it to you ten thousand times." disagree!"

Su Qixuan nodded and said, "I'm afraid they are not just asking us to help with business this time."

Jiang turned his head and said, "What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid the Jiang family wants to marry the Su family." Su Qixuan said quietly.

"Bah!" Jiang Si sat up, "Look at Jiang Feng and Jiang Mei. Even though they are my nephews and nieces, I don't like them at all. If they mention it to me, I will refuse it directly! If they If you are shameless, then don’t blame me for ignoring family ties. My Jiang Rong’s children are not something people like them can enjoy!"
