After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 277 Jiang Family's Reputation
The person holding the token also grew up in the Divine Doctor Valley. He was not familiar with the environment in Kyoto and only knew to obey the orders of his lady.
As the time for closing the city gate was approaching, the man saw that his carriage was approaching, so he took out the token and reached out to stop it.
However, he unexpectedly stopped another carriage that was about to enter the city.
The person in the carriage was also a little girl, only two or three years older than Jiang Li, and looked sickly.
Jiang Li was originally afraid that the child might be from a noble family, but she rejected this idea at the first sight of the man.
How could a child from a noble family look so unlucky?
The families of those nobles pay the most attention to luck. Even if she really has a good family background, she will definitely not be favored.
In particular, the man had no one to serve him, and even the carriage was driven by a maid. It was rare in Kyoto for a family to not even have a coachman.
All these signs made her more certain that this person was someone she could bully!
In fact, I did!
All the fatigue from the journey was vented on the girl that evening when he entered the city. Although he didn't hit her, his words were not nice.
The maid who was driving the carriage was so angry that she gnashed her teeth after hearing this, but the man still tried to stop her. It shows that he was brought up without any temper.
People like this are easy to bully.
However, if you think about it from another perspective, she is quite sensible.
After all, there were more than a dozen guards from the Divine Doctor Valley around his carriage, not to mention the escorts his father had hired.
And they, together with their master, only had two people in total.
In the end, it was too boring, and the soldiers next to them reminded them to close the city gates, so they gave up!
It is undeniable that I was in a very good mood when I finally came into the city and stayed at the Jiang family!
Jiang Li is not the only one who relies on the Jiang family's reputation to do things in Kyoto.
Those new girls would go out shopping from time to time, and when they saw rouge, jewelry, or hair ornaments they liked, they would use the Jiang family's name to snatch them from other people.
However, the only difference is that they often walk around outside, and can judge whose things can be stolen simply by looking at the carriage they ride in or the accessories they wear, and whose things not only cannot be stolen, but sometimes they even have to pretend to be unintentional to get closer to them.
The maid's words served as a warning to the girls, who originally thought that their actions had no impact, and immediately regretted it.
Originally, it was just an ordinary bicker between little girls. If the Jiang family's reputation was involved, not only would they not be able to study peacefully in this shabby courtyard, but they would also be sent back home in disgrace.
In more serious cases, it may also affect parents and siblings.
Because, they had heard their father tell them what the Jiang family wanted since they were young.
When Jiang Li thought of this, she looked at the nanny and felt a chill all over her body.
Bai's mother stood quietly aside. She was not included in that group of people.
She grew up in Kyoto, so she knew that children's playfulness could not compare to the reputation of the Jiang family.
Even the favored second uncle's family did not dare to do anything that would bring disgrace to the Jiang family.
However, it was precisely because he was staying out of the matter at the moment that he could see the nanny's intention more clearly: she was using Jiang Li.
In other words, this was grandfather's intention, and nanny was just the executor of the instruction.
From this moment on, Jiang Li has lost her value in the Jiang family.
Bai's mother closed her eyes with some reluctance. After all, they were still children!
Is grandfather so impatient for them to grow up so quickly?
Suddenly I thought of today's occasion and felt that it was somewhat inappropriate. I could only continue to be a bystander with a blank expression.
However, the maid's remarks were just a warning. Once she saw the looks on the girls' faces, she would know that her goal had been achieved, and that would be enough.
The maid returned to the nanny's side and continued to hold the fan, without any of the fierce momentum she had just shown when she was scolding.
Seeing that her prestige had been established, the nanny spoke herself without the need for a maid.
"All of you girls are responsible for the success or failure of your family, and you will be entrusted with important tasks in the future."
"Although it's not as public as men, the backyard is more dangerous."
"If I learn well in the future, I can also make plans in the rear."
"Girls, do you think Lord Jiang would entrust such a heavy responsibility to someone who disregards the family's reputation?"
If what the maid just said was true, she was just forcing the rise and fall of the family onto a young girl in order to enhance the persuasiveness of her own words.
After all, it's not uncommon for ordinary little girls to fight over small items.
Some families who care about their reputation will only regard these as trivial private fun between children, and will not regard them as something that will bring honor to the family.
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of money.
If it escalates to the family, people will think that you are stingy, which is not conducive to maintaining the family's reputation.
The girls in the Jiang family naturally knew this and thought so in their hearts, which was why they acted so carelessly outside.
But I can't be completely sure. If the family really pursues the matter, that is a fact that I cannot deny.
Nanny's words were different, she directly linked her own future to it.
Anyone who comes here and says that they have any sense of family honor and disgrace is really deceiving themselves.
When the rise and fall of a family lies in the hands of a woman, the family is not far from extinction.
The reason why everyone knows the truth is that they still come to Kyoto to study without hesitation.
In addition to being able to learn real skills, another possibility is to marry into a good family, achieve a class leap, and successfully squeeze into the aristocratic circle of Kyoto.
You can also gain some benefits for your father and brother.
As for family, those are just incidental.
You must know that once it involves the family, it is no small matter.
When the time comes, if I can't do my best, I will just help.
If you can't help, you can only watch and try your best to protect your own family.
Therefore, before leaving, their father's most common advice was to learn skills from the nanny.
Even if I am not chosen by the head of the family in the future, after being taught by the palace maids and learning the palace etiquette, I will be able to gain more confidence when I get married in the future.
"The Jiang family also wants to maintain some face in Kyoto. If it is just an ordinary fight, the families in Kyoto will all want to save face, so they will naturally not openly become enemies."
"But people's hearts are hard to predict! If someone remembers it and wants to settle the score with you later, what will you do?"
"Now you have the Jiang family's reputation to help you block it, but women will eventually get married, and life will be completely different after marriage!"
The nanny's words were very clear, and she didn't use those incomprehensible words from the palace.
