Listen to Mrs. Qian talking about the current changes in the relationship between the two houses.
Regarding the topic of her mother-in-law, she just said to Mrs. Qian: "My mother-in-law is pregnant, so I'm afraid it won't be convenient for her to go out and about for a while. My mother doesn't have any close friends in the capital, so she must be thinking about her aunt. She can't wait until she gives birth to a younger brother.
Come and visit Auntie."
During the conversation, there was no lack of respect for Mrs. Lin, the mother-in-law, and no words of special affection or clinging to her. This naturalness made people feel good about her.
Mrs. Qian was very satisfied with Jiang Changxi's attitude. Regardless of whether it was her grandfather, uncle, or mother-in-law who had taken over the family business, she could handle it calmly and not speak evil words. She was worthy of being a girl from a noble family.
Mrs. Qian did not talk to Jiang Changxi for long. She only said that she was old and confused, and her words did not match her words. You young people should get close to each other.
Jiang Changxi laughed happily: "It's because my aunt saw me getting close that she started chatting about everyday things. I'm not as nervous as when I came here."
Then he bowed and left with Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian smiled and said to herself, I didn't notice that you were nervous when you came. You are a talkative person.
Madam Qian took Jiang Changxi to the inner courtyard and met several girls from the Qian Mansion to show their closeness.
Mrs. Qian Shao took Jiang Changxi and said lively: "My sister-in-law is so calm at such a young age, it really makes my sister-in-law know a lot. She is indeed the daughter-in-law of the head of the family who has been married for a long time."
Jiang Changxi nodded. Mr. Zhou did it himself. He just never saw clearly his own position. He did these things for him, these rough and low-handed methods. Who would deal with such a person?
Mrs. Qian Shao: "I don't dare. Speaking of my brother and sister's uncle's affairs in the capital, do I know about it?"
Although it was true, the two people talking about this topic were a little embarrassed.
Moreover, the things that happened in his own mansion were all caused by his own mother-in-law, and they really had nothing to do with her.
Zhou Lan frowned, what do you mean? Why didn't he hear that his wife was wronged?
Mrs. Qian Shao told Jiang Changxi carefully what her mother-in-law had said just now: "Speaking of which, when Mr. Zhou was here, he also had some connections, but you also know that your husband is in Baoding Mansion as a filial piety, so it is not convenient for everyone to come and go.
, if you want to take care of one or two, it is beyond your reach."
Madam Qian twitched her lips, it would be strange for you to believe me. It turns out that Madam Zhou is thick-skinned and thoughtful: "I don't believe it, you can resist prying."
Followed: "I can tell that our two families had a very good relationship when my father-in-law was here. Now that my father-in-law is gone, Uncle Qian should also be taking care of the Zhou family."
Of course, there are only one or two. If I take care of five points, my second uncle will not be defeated and leave Baoding Mansion.
Jiang Changxi agreed with a smile. This was her first step into the circle of ladies in the capital.
Mrs. Qian thought about it and realized that it was true. One was an uncle and the other was a stepfather. Their relationship with the Zhou family was a bit subtle, so it was nothing.
Mrs. Qian's tone did not hide her disgust: "Who wants to deal with such a person? If it weren't for this, the Zhou family wouldn't have fallen into decline in three or two years."
When Jiang Changxi and Zhou Lan said goodbye, Mrs. Qian even invited Jiang Changxi to come often in the future. The friendship grew closer with each passing day.
Jiang Changxi shook his head. He really didn't care about this. There were too many things after coming to the capital: "After all, he is an elder, so it's not easy to pry."
Jiang Changxi: "I understand, friendships also need to be maintained. My husband is young and has been observing filial piety in the countryside for these years, so he can't take care of this. In addition, the things that Uncle Zhou has been dealing with have made it difficult for relatives, friends and old friends.
"
Jiang Changxi was still very shy, pretending not to understand Mrs. Qian's teasing: "Sister-in-law is laughing at me."
The couple didn't even care about it. Jiang Changxi made his stance clear.
On the carriage, Zhou Lan looked at Jiang Changxi carefully: "How about Aunt Qian? Is Aunt Qian a gentle elder?"
Jiang Changxi: "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I will take good care of myself."
When Zhou Mansion was mentioned, Zhou Lan's face looked unhappy: "It's no one else's fault."
He followed others and said: "Then I heard that Mr. Zhou's heirs were separated by Master Zhou, and there were some rumors in the capital. Therefore, when uncle Zhou was doing trouble in the capital, most people avoided it.
"
I'm afraid that they, as a young couple, would not be able to ask about this matter. After all, this is the Zhou family's own business. Others have foreign surnames after all, so the family scandal should not be made public.
Jiang Changxi told the truth this time: "Sister-in-law also knows that we are young and have just arrived in the capital. We haven't established ourselves yet, so it's not easy to pry around. Uncle, Mr. Li and I are both elders, and some things are not very clear.
So I can say it in front of us juniors."
I'm embarrassed to go on about this, after all, Mrs. Qian doesn't know if it goes any further.
Mrs. Qian Shao: "My younger siblings are pregnant with children and have many things to do for the family, so they also have to worry about their own health. We won't mention it in the past."
Jiang Changxi: "I am young, and I ask my sister-in-law to forgive me for what I said inappropriately. Yesterday, my husband was very happy when he returned home. My father-in-law has been gone for many years, and my uncle and aunt are still thinking about me. They are people who value love and justice."
"
It is definitely not easy for Brother Zhou Xian to have a family. When the young couple arrived in the capital, they would have a hard time without a family property. Jinshi’s wives had already come out to take care of the family business. It was not easy.
The Zhou family's property failed in the capital, and no one else can be blamed. It was all Uncle Zhou's fault.
Followed by: "We are young and ignorant, and we have not done much in our relationships with each other. It is because our uncle and aunt are so generous that they don't care about us. Their friendship makes us very ashamed."
Then he sighed: "I just feel sorry for the property that uncle Zhou has earned so hard over the years, otherwise my brothers and sisters would have no use having to endure hardships in the countryside. How come the Zhou brothers even dropped out of school..."
Jiang Changxi made it very clear that it was our lack of movement that weakened our friendship, and it was their lack of thoroughness in their conduct.
How did Jiang Changxi respond to this: "My aunt took good care of me and talked a lot with Mrs. Qian."
But Miss Qian was still able to find out what happened at Zhou Jinshi's house in the past few days.
Jiang Changxi also knew what others were saying, but she could honestly say that for her, making money and building a family fortune were just her hobbies, not whether it was hard work or not.
Jiang Changxi: "Mrs. Qian also said that because of the actions of the second uncle, many people are reluctant to associate with the Zhou family again."
After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Auntie mentioned a few words about the Zhou family's downfall in the capital, which seemed to mean she could explain it."
Zhou Lan: "The second wife takes the blame on herself and cannot blame anyone else."
Thinking of Uncle Tuesday, Zhou Lan snorted in his heart. What innocent family would be willing to associate with someone like Uncle Tuesday? Even if it was for profit, he would be careful not to do anything he did to Uncle Tuesday. The decline of his family fortune was expected.
