Chapter 11 Are you embarrassed not to see her?
On the other side, Jiang Sheng persuaded Jiang Xian to have a meal at Zhengfuxuan, the home of Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou.
In fact, no, she originally just wanted to avoid the head-on conflict between Mrs. Hou and Jiang Xian, so she just came over casually to give a few words of advice, but Jiang Xian didn't go.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xian agreed easily.
Jiang Sheng recalled the description of the heroine Jiang Xian in the original book—repaying kindness but being indifferent and ruthless. But Jiang Sheng felt that the heroine actually had a pretty good temper.
Compared to Mrs. Hou who doted on Jiang Sheng unconditionally, Jiang Xian brought more intimacy to Jiang Sheng.
Inside Zhengfuxuan.
Jiang Sheng and Jiang Xian entered the courtyard together, and saw a young man wearing a crow-blue robe sitting in the main courtyard. Searching her memory, she knew that it was Jiang Yan, the second son of the Jiang family.
Jiang Yan felt Jiang Sheng's gaze and raised his head: "Sister!"
He quickly stood up and walked over: "Sister, do you miss me? Is there someone bullying you?"
As he said that, Jiang Yan glanced at Jiang Xian.
He had heard that his sister was hugged by the wrong person back then, and the person next to her wearing a hosta was her father's and mother's biological daughter.
But so what?
Growing up with him was sister Jiang Sheng.
When Mrs. Hou came out and saw Jiang Yan happily pulling Jiang Sheng away, she scolded her: "It's not a good idea to ask your sister to come and sit and have a meal."
Jiang Sheng searched in his mind for Jiang Yan's fate in the book.
The original owner always cried in front of Jiang Yan and complained about the grievances he had suffered, so that Jiang Yan would target the heroine Jiang Xian whenever he had the opportunity. He was usually very yin and yang, pretending to be a ghost in private to scare people, throwing spiders and snakes into Xianyu Pavilion, etc.
There's nothing wrong with him, but this kind of behavior is just annoying. The heroine didn't take revenge specifically, she just threw back what Jiang Yan threw.
Later, the Jiang family's title was reduced, and Jiang Yan lost his position as an official in the Ministry of Justice and became a commoner. The book seems to mention that the heroine accidentally saw Jiang Yan working as a waiter in a restaurant.
Jiang Sheng knew that Jiang Xian didn't like others to get close to her, so she changed her position holding Jiang Xian's arm and moved side by side with Jiang Xian: "Where can anyone bully me? This is your sister Jiang Xian, you haven't seen her before when I came back.
.”
Jiang Xian glanced at Jiang Sheng's sleeves embroidered with silver thread. His eyes were dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Jiang Yan pouted: "Sister, don't force yourself to smile, I already know it."
"What do you know?" She didn't even know yet.
Jiang Yan glared at Jiang Xian and curled his lips and said: "Someone robbed your marriage as soon as they came back, but it doesn't matter. I have long felt that the Zhou family is unreliable. I will find a job in the Ministry of Justice in the future, and I will definitely find a better one for you.
Husband-in-law!"
Jiang Sheng: "...No one is trying to steal my marriage, and don't you think about it, can the Zhou family choose the girls from our Hou family at will?"
Jiang Yan thought so.
But, "It's not her fault that the Zhou family broke off their engagement with you!"
"Sister, don't be afraid! Now that I'm back, I will never let you be wronged again!"
Jiang Shengsheng pressed back Jiang Yan's hand pointing at Jiang Xian: "I want to cancel the Zhou family's marriage. Instead of celebrating my sister's withdrawal from the fire bed, you blame me?"
Jiang Yan retorted: "How can I blame you? I am..."
"That's it." Jiang Shengsheng interrupted Jiang Yan's unfinished words.
Jiang Yan's little tricks are not enough to watch.
She remembered a plot in the book - Jiang Yan's friend came up with a bad idea. He got a very thick snake from nowhere and asked Jiang Yan to bribe a girl and throw the snake into Jiang Xian's bed.
Jiang Yan was full of pride and waited in Xianyuyuan for Jiang Xian's panicked voice, but he waited in the dark for a long time and still didn't hear anything.
While Jiang Yan was disgusted with his friend's idea, he walked towards his yard. After washing, he lifted the quilt and saw a dark green and black and gray snake slowly raising its head, leisurely spitting out a red letter, and staring straight at it with its black bead-like eyes.
With Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was frightened and froze on the spot.
Fortunately, there was a boy nearby who grabbed Jiang Yan and ran away. The snake was not a venomous snake, so nothing serious happened...
Looking at Jiang Yan's still angry expression in front of him, Jiang Sheng blinked - Young man, I have tried to persuade you. If you are still stubborn, your sister Xian may give you a lesson.
If it doesn't hurt her muscles and bones, she'd better hide nearby and watch the show happily.
"Xiaoyan, take your sister, bring your two sisters and sit here." Mrs. Hou greeted them.
"good."
Jiang Yan pulled Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng quickly held Jiang Xian's sleeve with her backhand.
Jiang Yan pursed her lips in dissatisfaction: "Sister, why are you holding her? She doesn't have any legs, so she won't come and sit down?!"
Jiang Sheng said calmly: "I have grown legs too."
Jiang Yan: "..."
snort!
When Jiang Xian comes back, my sister doesn’t love me anymore!
Mrs. Hou said: "Why are you lingering? If you want to sit down, come over and sit down. You are still lingering over dinner."
"Oh." Jiang Yan reluctantly watched his sister lead Jiang Xian to sit down.
Although there were just the right number of stools in front of the table, Jiang Sheng still found that one person was missing.
——Brother Jiang Yan.
Jiang Sheng saw that Marquis Jiangping and Mrs. Hou were already using their chopsticks: "Isn't brother here?"
Banzhan said: "The prince said he was not feeling well, so he won't come."
"That's it."
Jiang Sheng didn't know why he suddenly felt a little relaxed.
There isn't much writing about this character in this book, but it gives her a "variable" feeling inexplicably.
Variability is danger.
Mrs. Hou pushed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of her to Jiang Sheng: "You call him ten times, but he doesn't come ten times. Don't care what he does. Come and try your favorite pastry."
The Marquis frowned: "Madam." This doesn't sound like what a mother would say.
Mrs. Hou pursed her lips: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore."
A girl brought a wooden tray with a porcelain pot and a blue and white teacup on it.
Mrs. Hou took the tea cup and poured Jiang Sheng a cup of tea. There were some petals floating on the clear and translucent tea, and there was a very light, vague aroma.
She placed the blue and white cup with tea poured in it in front of Jiang Sheng: "This is the scented tea your grandmother asked someone to send a few days ago. Try it quickly. I heard it's appetizing."
"Thank you, mother."
Jiang Sheng lowered his eyes.
Mrs. Hou is really a contradictory person.
She is definitely not a good mother to Jiang Yan and Jiang Xian, especially whether they come to the Marquis Mansion or end up in a foreign country, it is not something they can decide as children.
Mrs. Hou blamed all her dissatisfaction on them.
But for Jiang Sheng, she is definitely a good mother, tolerant, doting and protective.
Mrs. Hou seems to dislike Jiang Yan, but in fact all her hopes are on this son.
Just as Jiang Sheng was thinking, a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake suddenly passed through her eyes, and with a slight sound, it landed on the table next to her.
——That's Jiang Xian's position.
Jiang Sheng was surprised, and then looked quietly:
Marquis Jiangping didn't seem to notice this,
Mrs. Hou looked as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Xian was neither disgusted nor flattered, and remained as calm as ever.
Only Jiang Yan, with an indignant look on his face like "I knew you were wronged", shouted bitterly: "Auntie!"
Why is grandma serving her sweet-scented osmanthus cake?!
Mrs. Hou picked up a chopstick of rice and said, "What's it called? I can't even shut your mouth when eating."
"But..." Jiang Yan was speechless.
"You finally came back, and I don't want to scold you." Mrs. Hou was angry.
This little kid, why do you want to dismantle her?
Are you almost embarrassed that you didn’t see her?!
