Chapter 004: Cousin

·

At night, the family of six had a meal. Jiang Chengyan paused his hand with chopsticks, raised his fair and handsome face, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, is that boy named Lu telling the truth today? Who is it? Do we know each other?"

After the words came, the eldest son Jiang Chengrang pricked up his ears, while the second son Jiang Chengxu continued to eat with a calm expression.

Jiang Miao, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but tilt the corners of his mouth as he listened to his third brother. A few days ago, he was just a brother, but now he changed his words quickly. However, Lu Xingzhou's character is indeed not bad. He was even more honest and well-behaved when he was a child. This time he would lie, probably because his mother, Meng, was taught by him. As for growing up, she didn't expect that he would be confused by Xie Yin as a virtue. She was considered to be confused by people.

Jiang Chengyan was very curious, but he was scolded by Jiang Zhengmao yesterday. How dare he really beat Lu Xingzhou? He felt itchy and felt uncomfortable, so he could only ask Jiang Zhengmao himself.

Jiang Zhengmao did not raise his eyes, but said lightly: "Don't eat or sleep." Then he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a mullet egg for his wife Qiao.

The mullet eggs taste delicious. First, use river water to boil it through, wash the sand and remove the fishy smell, and then use chicken soup and mushrooms to simmer it. It looks simple, but it is actually very difficult to prepare well. Qiao's favorite dish these days.

Jiang Chengyan frowned and then looked at Qiao.

Qiao gave Jiang Chengyan a wink.

Jiang Chengyan's clear eyes were full of grievances. He bit the chopsticks and said "Oh" with dissatisfaction, then picked up the public chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and placed it in a porcelain plate. He lowered his head and quietly picked up the fish bones to make sure the fish was not thorny, and then he placed the fish in Jiang Miao's bowl.

Jiang Chengyan said: "Eat more Miaomiao." The baby sister is white and fat, but the three brothers have been working hard for the goal.

Looking at the tender and delicious fish in the bowl, Jiang Miao suddenly slapped his hands.

Her third brother is the most naughty and careless on weekdays, but she likes to eat fish, so he will carefully pick fish bones for her every time. If the third brother could use this patience to his homework, he would probably not have been complained by his master.

Jiang Miao bent her eyebrows and turned her little head and smiled at Jiang Chengyan: "Thank you, third brother."

Jiang Chengyan was very proud. As long as his sister liked to eat, he would pick a few pieces.

After using meals, Qiao accompanied her daughter back to the room. She saw that her daughter fell asleep before returning to her bedroom.

Jiang Zhengmao had already bathed. At this moment, he was wearing a white silk cloth and was lying on the couch to read a book. Hearing the sound of Qiao's steps, he raised his eyes and looked at him: "Is Miaomiao sleeping?"

Qiao said yes.

When Mrs. Qiao saw that her husband was holding this collection of poems, she knew that he was pretending. She walked over with a smile, sat beside him, and snatched the collection of poems in his hand.

Jiang Zhengmao's expressionless handsome face smiled, spread his arms and hugged the person, smelling the fragrance on his wife. Qiao is good at beauty and maintenance, and the fragrance she uses on her body is also made by her, and it is the most fragrant and elegant.

Jiang Zhengmao stroked his wife's arm one after another, opened his lips and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Qiao raised his eyes and glared at him, meaning: Is this necessary for her to say?

Jiang Zhengmao smiled. He never concealed his wife, so he naturally said everything Lu Xingzhou said today.

That day, they saw Lu Xingzhou carrying his daughter soaked over, and knew that her daughter had a conflict with Princess Luo'an and fell into the water. Naturally, they believed that it was Lu Xingzhou who saved her. At that time, they were anxious and only remembered to take care of her daughter, so they naturally didn't ask in detail. Later, Lu Xingzhou's mother, Meng, naturally heard about it. Although Lu Xingzhou was the eldest grandson of the Xuan Prince's Mansion, she was born in the aftermath. If she could have friendship with Duke Zhenguo, it would be useful in the future. Moreover, his daughter's status in Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is known to everyone in Wangcheng. With the Meng family's religion, Lu Xingzhou would definitely be obedient.

Lu Xingzhou didn't say the second half. After all, he didn't dare to say that his mother was not, but Jiang Zhengmao knew it in his heart.

When Qiao heard this, she was surprised: "I thought Prince Xuan was low-key and proud, but I didn't expect that he would have such kindness, so I really admire him."

Although King Xuan still likes Lu Chen and Lu Xingzhou, there are more concubines, but Lu Liu is the prince of the royal family after all.

Jiang Zhengmao nodded, looked down at his wife, and said, "We were so worried that we didn't pay attention to these things."

It's true. The couple loves their daughter the most, and Qiao regards her daughter as their lifeblood. How could they think about it more? Moreover, they have seen Lu Xingzhou a few times. They have a good character and don't look like they can lie.

Qiao thought for a while, raised her eyes and asked, "Then how should we thank them?"

Jiang Zhengmao said: "Since this prince doesn't care, I don't think he cared about it..." After all, with Prince Xuan's low-key nature, it is impossible for his nephew to come forward to clarify because his nephew stole the credit for saving the little girl. He continued, "But, whether it's the way or not, it's him who saved us Miaomiao. We remember this favor in our hearts. When there is anything we can help in the future, it's not too late to repay this favor."

Qiao nodded and said, "Okay," then smiled slightly, "I thought that Prince Xuan was born with a beautiful appearance and was very outstanding. He was indeed a kind-hearted child."

Jiang Zhengmao smiled, raised his hand and pinched his wife's cheek, and said, "I used to praise Lu Xingzhou, and said that if he had a higher status, he would be a son-in-law in the future. Why did he change his words so quickly?"

Qiao was slightly angry and gave her husband a look.

Jiang Zhengmao hugged the person tightly, sipped the fragrance on his face, and said, "If you want to thank him, next month will be the birthday party of the old princess of the Prince Xuan's mansion, and you will also thank him in person."

Qiao said, "Well, I remember it." She said, "...I have to take Miaomiao with you at that time."

·

Lu Xingzhou returned to Prince Xuan's mansion and informed his mother Meng.

Meng is wearing a gorgeous rose red woven gold-woven braided bun. Although she married Lu Chen, the eldest son of the Xuan Palace, she has always been very dependent on Lu Chen. His wife is noble by her husband. Meng's status in the Xuan Palace is also extraordinary. Meng's beautiful appearance and slim figure are good. She has been married to Lu Chen for more than ten years, but she is still very favored. In addition, she has an outstanding son. If she had not been a mother-in-law who was a few years older than her, she would probably have walked across the Xuan Palace.

Seeing Lu Xingzhou coming in, Meng asked his son about his affairs at the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion with a smile. When his son heard that he had told the truth to the uncle of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, he immediately changed his face, his brows frowned tightly, and said, "You kid, have you forgotten how your mother taught you!"

My son has always been obedient, but he is too upright. Meng's body trembles.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is all grandson, but Jiang Miao is the only granddaughter. The whole mansion treats this sick little girl as a treasure. The people of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion know that it was her son who saved Jiang Miao, so they were polite to her son. The three brothers in the eldest house often asked him to play in the mansion. As for Jiang Miao, although he was sick, his identity was there. If he grew up and had better health, his son would marry her, which would be a sure-fire deal. If he was not good, his offspring would not be bothered. Her son was in good health and he would have a few more women around him. No matter who gave birth to him, he would be her grandson at all.

But now-

Even though Meng loved her son no matter how much she was, she was a little angry and said, "You are so confused that you really want to piss off your mother."

Lu Xingzhou felt wronged, but he did not regret his behavior at all.

He raised his face and said frankly: "Miaomiao was saved by Uncle San, and his son just returned the credit to Uncle San. Uncle Jiang said that he would ask me to go to the mansion to play in the future."

How could this be the same? Meng was upset, but he didn't dare to really beat his son.

Meng Shi was always disgusted with Lu Liu. If Lu Liu had not been born, her husband would have been the prince of Prince Xuan's mansion, and her son would have been the eldest grandson of Prince Xuan's mansion.

Three days later, Qiao invited someone to go to Xue’s mansion to come to accompany her daughter.

But Jiang Miao was sitting on a chair writing at this moment.

Standing behind him was the second son Jiang Chengxu.

Jiang Chengxu was wearing a crescent white brocade robe, and his handsome face was a little softer than usual. He held his sister's hand, changed his usual coldness, and patiently taught her to write with strokes and strokes.

Jiang Miao studied very seriously. She couldn't use her little hands and followed her second brother's strokes. The words she wrote naturally had a little more fluent feeling than usual.

Jiang Miao's white little face slightly tilted and praised: "The second brother's handwriting is very good."

Jiang Chengxu is the best homework among the three brothers. Since his sister recovered from the water, she fell in love with writing. Today is his day off, so she simply taught her sister to write. Listening to her sister's soft and glutinous voice, Jiang Chengxu lowered her head. Her sister's big black and white eyes were smiling, but her cheeks were too thin. He felt distressed, and raised his hand and rubbed the flower bun on her sister's head, and said, "Miaomiao works so hard, this word will definitely be better than her second brother in the future."

Jiang Miao smiled. She did write well in her previous life, but she could do whatever she wanted to calm down. But no matter how good she was, she could not be as good as her second brother who was talented and wise.

The brother and sister were talking, and a beautiful and cute little girl with fair faces walked in.

The little girl was combed with her hair and was wearing a green embroidered lotus dress. She was a milky white satin skirt at the bottom and a red gold-shaped collar hanging around her neck. She had a round face and a cinnabar mole the size of rice grains between her eyebrows. She looked about older than Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao raised her eyes, looked at the person coming, and called affectionately: "Journey to the moon."

This little girl is Xue Jinyue, the legitimate granddaughter of the Xue family. Dajiang Miao was two years old and was also one of Jiang Miao's few playmates.

Xue Jinyue ran a little fast, her cheeks were pink, and she looked much healthier than Jiang Miao. At that moment, the little girl called someone and walked to Jiang Miao's side. She looked up, looked at Jiang Chengxu, who was smiling and doting on her sister's eyes. She immediately curled her eyes, raised her white and tender little hands and pinched Jiang Chengxu's sleeve, and said, "Three Cousin."

Puff.

Jiang Miao immediately laughed out loud.

Yes, I recognized the wrong person again.

Xue Jinyue has a poor memory and often can't remember people. Moreover, her three brothers look similar, so it's no wonder she often admits mistakes. However, every time Jinyue only messes her elder brother with her third brother, because she has always been expressionless and quiet, she is undoubtedly her second brother. Today is amazing, she actually recognizes her second brother as her third brother.

Jiang Chengxu looked down at Xue Jinyue, and the smile on his face gradually faded away, and his eyes became colder.

Xue Jinyue finally realized.

She withdrew her hand, carefully and said timidly: "Second, second cousin."

In fact, this cannot be blamed for Xue Jinyue. Every time she comes to Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, the triplet cousin gives her a headache. The best person to recognize is her second cousin Jiang Chengxu. Anyway, he is the one who has a stern face at a young age. But she likes her third cousin the most, and she loves laughing the most, and she can play with her.

Jiang Miao looked at Xue Jinyue's face and smiled at her. She also knew that because her second brother's temperament was always cold, she had been a little afraid of her second brother since she was a child. Not to mention that she thought her second brother hated her, even her, who was a real sister, at first thought that her second brother didn't like Xue Jinyue's cousin.

However, after Jin Yue got engaged in her previous life, she knew that her second brother actually liked her. But at that time, the marriage between the two families had been decided. Jin Yue was going to marry her aunt's cousin, who was also childhood sweetheart. She also liked her a little. Her second brother, when she got engaged, went to find her. Later, after she returned home, her second brother was depressed for a long time. Later, Jin Yue got married and his second brother's marriage was delayed. Later, Jin Yue's husband was exposed, and he was a romantic person who was flirting with flowers and was even cold to his wife. Jin Yue couldn't stand it. They divorced less than a year after they got married.

But just after Jinyue and Li, her second brother, who had been unwilling to marry, took the initiative to ask her parents to go to the Xue family to propose marriage.

Although the marriage was a little ups and downs, in the end, as her second brother wished, he married his beloved person.

However, her second brother is indifferent. After the couple got married, they were not as loving as usual newlyweds. Most of them were her second brother neglecting Jinyue. Jinyue was a weak person again. She was afraid of him since she was a child. After hitting a few times, she simply closed the door and lived her own life.

She advised her second brother several times, but no matter what outsiders say about love, it is useless. When her second brother finally understood that he wanted to cherish his hard-earned wife, Jin Yue met a thief when she went out, and then she couldn't bear the humiliation and bit her tongue and committed suicide.

At that time, she was the only person who could speak intimate words in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so she naturally understood what she was thinking. She felt that her second brother neglected her because she had married before, so at that time, she did not hesitate at all and decided to die innocently.

Jiang Miao looked at the ink in her pen and blurred the words, then turned her head and looked at Xue Jinyue and said, "Jinyue, don't worry, my second brother doesn't eat people, there is nothing to be afraid of." In this life, what she wants to help most is the marriage between her second brother and Jinyue.

Xue Jinyue couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Yes".
