Xu Chunjun got some free time and wanted to ask Jiang Nuan out to relax, so he sent Lvchun to deliver a letter asking when Jiang Nuan could come out.
Lvyan came back and said: "The letter has been delivered, but Miss Jiang is not at home. The concierge said that he would send someone to reply to the girl when his eldest daughter comes back."
"It doesn't matter, it's not that important anyway." Xu Chunjun didn't care.
In fact, Jiang Nuan was at home that day. Her stepmother had told her a few days ago that important guests were coming to visit today and that she must stay at home and not go out.
Jiang Nuan asked who was coming, but Meng just said warmly: "You will know when the time comes."
She refused to say anything, and Jiang Nuan couldn't ask further.
Because something happened to Liu'er, Jiang Nuan repeatedly said that Meng didn't give her any maids for the time being, and only asked Ling Dang and Zhuang Zi to serve her closely.
After breakfast that day, Meng said to Jiang Nuan: "The new clothes Qianer asked them to make for you are ready. Go back and put them on later!"
Jiang Qing pretended to be angry and said: "Mom, you are too partial to my sister. I have begged you so many times for that piece of material, but you just said it was too expensive and you wouldn't make it for me."
Jiang Nuan hurriedly said: "I'm actually most afraid of wearing fine clothes. I don't dare to sit down, and I don't dare to walk. I'll give it to you!"
Meng stopped at the side and said: "Don't listen to her, she is still young! She should be at the back. You have been in your grandfather's house for so many years. Your father and I feel guilty, and we should love you more."
Jiang Nuan is a sincere person. Although she feels uncomfortable everywhere since moving to Beijing, her stepmother really can't find fault with her treatment.
For example, regarding Sang's mother, she was Jiang Nuan's nanny and should have taken care of her personally.
But Jiang Nuan and Mrs. Meng felt that she was too vulgar, and they were afraid that Jiang Nuan would be ruined by her education, so they asked her to work in the back.
Every time Jiang Nuan interceded for her, Meng always had a motherly face and said to her: "I know you care about friendship and nostalgia, and Mother Sang is naturally loyal. But she has a bad temper and vulgar language. She is not like everyone else."
Miss, you should listen. Having her in front of you will only make people laugh at you. Outsiders don't care about the kindness and evil of people, they only look at the surface. Besides, you should think about it for me. You know, my stepmother is not bad to you, but
Those who knew better would have thought that I deliberately abused you! In the end, neither you nor I got along well."
Jiang Nuan is just a teenage girl, how can she be compared to her? Besides, when she came to Beijing, her uncle and aunt repeatedly told her not to be willful and willful like her grandfather's family when she was in front of her father and stepmother.
There is a conflict, let alone what you think and say.
This was all for Jiang Nuan's sake, as she was afraid that she might offend someone due to an unintentional mistake. After all, her stepmother was still the head of the household, and just giving her little shoes to wear was enough for her.
Furthermore, although Jiang Nuan has a more irritable temper, he is not a messy person, and he has a soft-spoken personality.
It happened that Meng was the most gentle-tongued person, which made it difficult for Jiang Nuan to get upset even if he had some unsatisfactory experiences.
I had to sneak back to visit Mama Sang every now and then. Fortunately, the errands they sent to Mama Sang were very leisurely and she was not tired.
As for Jiang Qing, although sometimes she makes Jiang Nuan unhappy, firstly she is younger than him, and secondly she may not mean it intentionally, so Jiang Nuan doesn't take it to heart.
On the contrary, because she gave her residence to herself, and Meng gave all the good things to herself first, she felt guilty towards Jiang Qing.
Now she didn't want the clothes. She had already said several times to give them to Jiang Qing, but Meng wouldn't let her.
Jiang Qing also laughed and said: "I was just joking! Sister, please wear it!"
Jiang Nuan went back and changed her clothes. Meng came over and asked her personal maid Shui Xing'er to give Jiang Nuan a new hairstyle. She also specially took out a jade hairpin from her makeup box and gave it to Jiang Nuan.
He put it on, took her hand and said: "Our An Nuan is really beautiful, and the water is clear, like a begonia flower with dewdrops."
Jiang Nuan doesn't have much of a ladylike demeanor, but she is straightforward and natural, without any pretense. Although her appearance is not very beautiful, she is dignified and smart, and her complexion is particularly good. She is like a little goat growing up in a place with abundant water and grass.
Jiang Nuan felt uncomfortable being praised and her face turned redder.
Fortunately, at this time, a woman came over and said, "Madam, eldest lady, the guests are here."
"Let's go meet the guests." Meng smiled and took Jiang Nuan's hand and walked forward.
The Jiang family usually only receives guests in the guest room, and only those who are very close to them will receive guests in the main room where the Meng family lives.
Most of the relatives of the Meng family, Jiang Nuan, have met before, but these few who came today are very familiar with them.
Moreover, Meng didn't seem to be very close to them when talking to them. He must be a much more prominent guest than the Jiang family.
Jiang Nuan followed Meng and greeted a few people vaguely. The leader of the guests was a woman about forty years old. She was dressed very elegantly, but the look on her face was kind. Meng called her Third Wife.
The third wife took Jiang Nuan's hand and looked her up and down for a moment, then said with a smile: "This Miss Jiang is really like a flower, people can't help but want to get close to her."
Meng smiled at the side and said, "This will make us more compatible."
After sitting down, several elders drank tea and talked, but their eyes glanced at Jiang Nuan from time to time.
Jiang Nuan was inexplicably flustered, but it was hard to say anything. He was just sitting on pins and needles and felt uncomfortable all over.
After finally finishing the cup of tea, the third wife said with a smile: "I love my niece so much when I meet her for the first time, so I prepared a small gift for her."
Jiang Nuan hurriedly declined, saying he didn't dare take it.
Meng also said that it was too polite, but did not stop him very much.
While talking, the third wife had already taken out a silk gold hairpin from the box, with a pearl embedded in it.
"Auntie, please put it on for you with your own hands!" the third wife came over and said.
Jiang Nuan stood up and refused, Meng said: "The elders reward you, but you are disrespectful, so just accept it!"
At this time, there was a sudden noise in the yard, as if someone had broken in, but the maid and woman in the yard stopped him.
At this time, Meng's face became unhappy, and Jiang Nuan heard the voice that was clearly that of Sang's mother.
The third wife's hand couldn't help but pause.
At this moment, a woman with a short stature rushed in, pushed the two maids and women who were pulling her up and fell outside the door.
"Mama Sang, why are you here?" Jiang Nuan asked hurriedly.
It turned out that the person who came in was none other than Jiang Nuan's nanny Sang Mama.
She grabbed Jiang Nuan, blocked her behind her, and cursed at everyone in the room: "You are such a rotten-hearted woman! You are working together to plot against our girl! Unless I die! Otherwise, you are
Don’t even think about getting your wish if you are blind with hope!”
"Mrs. Jiang, what did you say?" The third wife was immediately annoyed, "We are not just people who come to your door. If you hadn't asked someone to pass the message, we wouldn't have known about your family!"
