rebirth joke

Three years later.

This is a Chinese-style two-storey building, halfway up the mountain.

The winding mountain road winds around the surface of the mountain, passing through long white stone steps, going up from the steps, and at the end is a black-painted iron railing gate.

A small car came up the road and stopped in front of the stone steps.

The car door opened, and a woman came down gracefully, then turned around with a smile and said goodbye to the young man in the driver's seat.

At the same time, the iron railing door opened a narrow gap, and a young girl with a smart and capable appearance flashed out, holding her trouser legs and running down the steps.

"Madam, you are back." The girl folded her hands in front of her body, her big eyes flickered, looking at the woman and at the man in the car.

The car drove away, and the woman went up the steps, talking to the girl.

"How about Auntie, do you stay in the house more, or go out more?"

"It's still the same, but the young masters are back, the old lady is happy and looks relieved."

The woman's name is Zhang Yiyuan, which comes from the Tang poem "The expression is strong, the meaning is far away, gentle and true", and it was picked for her by Mrs. Jiang, who is an aunt.There are two aunts and nephews, one is married to Mr. Jiang, and the other is married to Mr. Jiang's second son, Jiang Jing.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Jiang's niece and son are cousins ​​and cannot intermarry.But the only eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Dun, was born to Mrs. Jiang, and the second son, Jiang Jing, was born to Mrs. Jiang's newly married wife during his divorce from Mrs. Jiang.

The wife had a bad life and died after giving birth to Jiang Jing.On the contrary, Mrs. Jiang, in order to continue the close relationship between the Jiang family and the Zhang family, one year after Jiang Jing was born, she reunited with Mr. Jiang and returned to the Jiang family. Until now, she has become the most influential person in the Jiang family. .

Zhang Yiyuan smiled when he heard the little girl's words: "Oh, that illegitimate child—I mean our family's one, is here too?"

Although her marriage with Jiang Jing survived in name only, but one of his illegitimate sons returned to the Jiang family and was recognized by Mrs. Jiang again, always reminding her that there is such a woman who gave birth to her husband's child, and even coveted her position .

Although the eldest brother Jiang Dun's child has also returned, there is another saying that "come first, first served". Jiang Dun wanted to fall in love freely and have a child with the woman he loves, but he was forced by his family to come back and marry the bride who had arranged for him. , It is logical and sympathetic.

Besides, Jiang Guangyu was given the Guanyin jade pendant by Mrs. Jiang when he was born, which represented the Jiang family's acknowledgment of his existence.

And her husband's illegitimate son... Zhang Yiyuan paused, and asked the little girl beside him, "What's his name?"

"Jiang Wan, the night of the night."

They walked to the railing door, and the door had already been opened, Zhang Yiyuan said: "Did the old lady rename him according to the generation of 'Guang'?"

The little girl said: "I mentioned it before, but Master Wan said he didn't want to lose the name his mother gave him."

Zhang Yiyuan sneered: "It really values ​​love and righteousness."

Seeing her uneasy expression, the little girl hurriedly said: "Missy is taking a nap, madam, do you want to go and see?"

Zhang Yiyuan's expression softened only when his only daughter was mentioned.They crossed the gravel path and entered the main hall of the building.

Mrs. Jiang's rules are very strict, there are not many servants in the residence, and it's time for a nap, and everyone holds their breath.

Zhang Yiyuan likes to be lively by nature, and the most indispensable thing in a day is banquets and tea parties. If there is no party, she just listens to operas, movies, operas, concerts, and does not necessarily appreciate art. She likes to be surrounded by people chatting.So I couldn't bear this kind of silence.

Fortunately, the maid took her to her daughter's bedroom. The little guy was sleeping soundly with a flushed face.The wind was blowing outside the window, and the tall trees were rustling, making her much more comfortable than the silence of the hall.

Zhang Yiyuan leaned over and kissed his daughter on the cheek, and whispered to the maid, "Auntie is awake?"

The little girl nodded and led her to the second floor. The room was spacious and warm. Zhang Yiyuan walked around a multi-treasure partition shelf and saw Mrs. Jiang lying on the recliner and rocking.

Zhang Yiyuan stood for a while, then said with a smile, "My aunt is angry with me, so she doesn't care about anyone anymore."

Old Madam Jiang opened her eyes and said, "You still know to come back, I'm afraid you won't want to leave."

Zhang Yiyuan found a chair and sat down, dragging his chin, as if he was still an innocent and ignorant girl: "It's just that I won't come back, my aunt has two grandchildren with her, and no one cares about us."

"Just say such petty words. Then Jiang Wan..." Mrs. Jiang paused and sighed, "It's your husband's son anyway, so you can't see him forever."

Zhang Yiyuan smiled and said, "I don't even see my husband, let alone my husband's illegitimate child."

Old Madam Jiang raised her eyebrows and said, "From the moment he entered Jiang's house, he has ceased to be."

Zhang Yiyuan smiled and lowered his head, "I said something wrong, don't be angry, aunt."

Mrs. Jiang said: "You know I can't." After a pause, she continued: "I know I have wronged you."

Zhang Yiyuan lowered his head softly, but impatiently flicked his well-groomed nails, which were inlaid with pear petals, crystal clear and beautiful.

Mrs. Jiang got tired after talking to her for a while.Zhang Yiyuan left the room and went downstairs to see her daughter. The maid told her that the eldest lady was awake and was clamoring for a snack, and Xiao Xia took her to the kitchen.

Xiao Xia is the little maid who came out to greet her just now.Zhang Yiyuan walked to the kitchen, heard his daughter crying, and hurried in.

Xiao Xia hugged Jiang Miaoyi in front of the refrigerator, trying to divert her attention with exquisite snacks, but when she moved away from the refrigerator a little, Miaoyi cried even louder.

Zhang Yiyuan walked in, Xiao Xia immediately said: "Miss, who is it? It's mom, mom is back."

Zhang Yiyuan smiled and hugged the tear-stained child, "Oh, why are we Miaoyi crying?"

While holding her daughter, she showed her the diamond ring on her left ring finger: "Look, ring-finger."

Jiang Miaoyi was attracted by her nails instead, and reached out to grab her fingers to see.

Zhang Yiyuan asked Xiao Xia, "Why are you crying, miss?"

Xiao Xia said: "Miss wants to eat ice cream, it's so cold, how dare I give it to her."

Zhang Yiyuan frowned. Mrs. Jiang is too old to eat ice cream. The servants love to eat it and would not put it in the big kitchen: "Who bought the ice cream?"

The chef said awkwardly, "Young master bought it."

"Which young master?"

"Master Wan."

Zhang Yiyuan held his daughter's hand tightly, and said coldly: "You really shouldn't feed her this kind of food, she will only remember after eating."

Xiao Xia said, "I haven't fed it. Young Master Wan loves to eat it. When I came back with the box that day, the young lady remembered it when she saw it."

Zhang Yiyuan said: "People in their twenties like to eat this kind of food?"

She hugged Jiang Miaoyi and asked Xiao Xia to take two pastries and walk out of the kitchen. Jiang Miaoyi twisted in her arms and shouted: "Mom, Bingbing—"

Zhang Yiyuan lowered his head and coaxed: "Mom will take you to paint beautiful nails, okay? They are as beautiful as mom's."

Jiang Miaoyi was attracted by her, so she stopped making trouble.

Walking into the living room, Zhang Yiyuan saw a figure. Zhang Yiyuan took a closer look, but was taken aback.

The man was tall and slender, and his face was still between a teenager and a young man, but he was already attractive enough. Standing there, no matter his clothes or manner, he looked like a born aristocrat.

Looking at it this way, who can tell that this is Jiang Jing's illegitimate son who was living abroad and returned to Jiang's family at the age of 20?

Before Zhang Yiyuan could speak, Jiang Miaoyi in her arms had already called out: "Brother!"

Jiang Wan smiled at her, then looked at Zhang Yiyuan again, bowed her head and said, "Madam."

Zhang Yiyuan looked at him, pulled out a smile and said, "Jiang Wan?"

"Yes."

"You look like your dad."

Seeing Jiang Wan, Zhang Yiyuan suddenly recalled Jiang Jing when he first met. The man from the Jiang family was always personable, so handsome that he could easily win the favor of a woman. If he was lucky, he would meet a gentleman like Jiang Dun who was as consistent in appearance and inner as he was in love. Unfortunately, just like when she was young, she was easily moved by Jiang Jing's hospitality.

But she may not be unlucky, no matter how devoted Jiang Dun is, the son of his beloved woman has not been able to step into the Jiang family's door for nearly 20 years, but she married a dull and incompetent husband, but she can indulge in pleasure.As long as the Jiang family is in Jiang Jing's hands, it will be the same as being in her hands.

The premise is that the Jiang family does not have these two young masters.

Jiang Wan just smiled at her words.The housekeeper's Mama Wang caught up and said, "Master Wan, have you eaten lunch after coming back from outside? I'll let the cook prepare it."

Jiang Wan said: "No need, there is still some ice cream left..."

As soon as he mentioned ice cream, Jiang Miaoyi in Zhang Yiyuan's arms stretched out her hand again and said, "I want Bingbing too!"

Wang Ma hurriedly said: "It's not good to eat on an empty stomach, you're not a child anymore."

Zhang Yiyuan's face was not very good because of his daughter's noise.Seeing this, Jiang Wan said, "Forget it, cook two dishes for me."

Wang Ma smiled and said, "Okay." Then she coaxed Miaoyi, "I see that brother doesn't eat anymore. Young lady is good."

Just as she was about to order the cook, she asked Jiang Wan, "Do you want to make two desserts? It's just perfect for afternoon tea." Seeing Jiang Wan's love for ice cream, she thought he was fond of sweets, but Jiang Wan shook his head and said : "No, I don't eat sweets."

This is strange.Muttering to herself, Wang Ma turned and went to the kitchen.

Zhang Yiyuan asked Xiaoxia to carry the child upstairs, promising to play with her later.Then she sat down on the sofa, and Jiang Wan also sat down. She tapped her nails on the square wooden table by her hand and asked, "How long have you been at home?"

Although she had shown disdain in front of Xiao Xia and Mrs. Jiang just now, she was not so indignant when facing Jiang Wan now.

"Two months."

"Have you been here before?"

"I've been here a few times, but I just left to see grandma."

"Then where do you usually live, school?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yiyuan looked at Jiang Wan, changed his posture, leaned against the side of the sofa and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be so unfamiliar with me. Your father and I seem to be in harmony, and we have no prejudice against your mother and child."

Jiang Wan nodded, lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you, madam." Her attitude was much gentler than it seemed.

Zhang Yiyuan propped his cheek with one hand, thoughtful.
