On the carriage back home, Ji Xiang was a little upset. He looked at Tian Minyan who hesitated to speak, like a cat who couldn't get his back scratched, and was very irritated.
Tian Minyan was leaning on the soft pillow in the car, flipping through a book of The Four Seas in her hand, and said without raising her head: "But you have lice on your body? You keep moving."
After hearing this, Qingzhi burst out laughing. Seeing Jixiang sweeping over, he sat upright in a hurry, but he couldn't help but smile pouring out of his eyes.
Ji Xiang glared at her angrily, then looked at Tian Minyan and said, "Miss, Miss Yao and the others were too obviously provocative just now. Why didn't you teach them a lesson?"
Thinking of the overt and covert sarcasm of those rich ladies just now, Ji Xiang felt that it was very reasonable, but it was the young lady who looked indifferent, which made people anxious.
Tian Minyan raised her eyelids and glanced at her, and said: "When you came to Kyoto, you became even more out of control. I should bring Ruyi out next time."
Ji Xiang's face turned pale and he called out urgently: "Miss..."
Tian Minyan put down the book in her hand, took the tea handed over by Qingzhi, took a sip, and said: "To put it mildly, I am the Lord of Huimin County personally named by the Emperor, and it is just a name given to me by the Emperor's favor.
We are new here, so we should keep a low profile. If we use this name to act arrogant, we will inevitably be said to be arrogant. You must know that the county king can also take back what he has given."
Ji Xiang was shocked when he heard this, with a look of fear on his face.
"The students in this capital school are either rich or noble. Behind each student there is a family, and behind his family there are other families. It can be said that they are connected with the same spirit. They are far from our humble Zhongxian County uncle's house.
On the other hand, why bother offending people for no reason?"
"Miss..."
"Of course, it doesn't mean that we should be lowly and humble. No matter how foundation we are, we are still granted the title by the emperor. If others don't offend me, I won't offend others." Tian Minyan smiled lightly.
"But, what about the Tea Poetry Party?" Ji Xiang was still a little worried. Those ladies were obviously not well-intentioned. They knew that they had just come from the countryside, but they specifically asked the young lady what made her famous and invited her to the Laoshizi Tea Party. There must be something among them.
ghost.
Tian Minyan put down her tea cup and said softly: "It's good to be low-key, but if you just give in, people will think you are cowardly and easy to control, and you can't get on the stage. You can't hide from the first grade of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth grade. Now that you have come to live in Kyoto, you will always
If you want to show up in front of someone and they invite you, then just go, I have never attended any of these boudoir gatherings."
"but..."
"What, are you worried that your lady will make a fool of me?" Tian Minyan glanced sideways at her, half-smiling.
Ji Xiang blushed and said sarcastically: "Miss, don't you like that poem?"
"It won't be embarrassing for everyone." Tian Minyan chuckled and picked up the book again to read.
The so-called tea poetry party is indispensable for displaying talents and so on. She actually despises it, but it is just a way for some women to become famous.
As for talent, she doesn't have it, but that doesn't mean she won't be opportunistic. When she was in Qingzhou, the one-word pair she made has not been corrected yet, and it is hanging on the door of the first floor.
After reading the book for a while, Tian Minyan felt a little sleepy, so she squinted for a while, and soon Qingzhi woke her up.
"Miss, Lao Fengxiang is here."
Tian Minyan opened her eyes, yawned, and let the two maids help her arrange her makeup and put on her gauze hat before getting out of the car.
Hui'an's good days are approaching, and today she came to see how the jewelry she personally designed to give to the Lord of Hui'an County to add to his beauty was doing.
As she was walking up the stairs, she suddenly glanced back. People were coming and going on the street, and vendors were shouting. She frowned.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Ji Xiang asked in confusion when he saw her suddenly stopping.
Tian Minyan shook her head: "Nothing, let's go."
It's really strange. She clearly felt someone staring at her, but after looking around, she didn't find anyone suspicious. Could it be that she became paranoid after coming to Kyoto?
Little did she know that after she entered the shop, an ordinary man walked out of an alley across the street and let out a long sigh.
This Mr. Huimin County is extremely alert.
After leaving Lao Fengxiang and returning to the uncle's house in Zhong County, I heard Ruyi say that the old lady was losing her temper and that both the lady and the master were in Songbai Courtyard.
Tian Minyan's eyes narrowed, what kind of evil did Jiang do again?
After arriving in Kyoto for only a few days, my true nature has begun to show. She even pretends that she is the old lady of the Tian family in Yangmei Village who wants wind and rain when she wants it!
When I arrived at Songbaiyuan, I heard the sound of a teacup being thrown inside, followed by the sound of Jiang's howling and crying.
The maids and ladies in the yard all stood on tiptoe, peering in and whispering to each other, as if they were watching a good show. Tian Minyan's eyes darkened and she winked at Jixiang.
"What are you doing standing here? Are you working as wood? You don't have to do any work?" Ji Xiang winked, stepped forward and scolded harshly.
The maids were startled, and when they looked back, Tian Minyan, with a gloomy face, hurriedly came over to salute: "Miss."
"It seems that the uncle's residence in Zhongxian County is too leisurely. You are all fed and have nothing to do on weekdays. You are here to listen to the master." Tian Minyan said coldly: "Jixiang, you have taken the body contract.
Climb them out, my uncle in Zhong County will not be able to support idle people."
"yes."
After hearing this, the two maids knelt down in a hurry, trembled, kowtowed several times and said: "Miss, please forgive me, I will not dare to do it next time, not again."
In the Zhong County Count's Mansion, the most prestigious person is not the Zhong County Count, nor his wife and young master, but the eldest lady who is named Huimin County Lord. Just two days ago, a woman was beaten twenty times for drinking and getting into trouble.
The big board was climbed out, and Huimin County Lord became cruel and unreasonable.
Tian Minyan was just talking. When she saw that their foreheads were red from eating, she said coldly: "Go down and do some work. If anyone dares to gossip about this matter today, just climb out."
"Thank you, Miss, for your kindness." Several people kowtowed hurriedly, got up and went about their business.
Tian Minyan walked into the house and saw Mr. Jiang sitting on the ground crying, the old man's face was ashen, and Mr. Luo and Tian Huairen were in a very embarrassed state.
"What are you making?" Tian Minyan shouted coldly and said to Jixiang: "Jixiang, go help the old lady up. What does it look like to have a dignified old lady sitting on the ground making trouble like a shrew?"
Jiang's eyes shrank, and when he saw Tian Minyan's gloomy look, he didn't dare to cry. He followed Ji Xiang's hand and stood up and sat on the chair.
She has not forgotten how fiercely Tian Minyan beat the mother-in-law two days ago. This granddaughter is no longer the same granddaughter as before.
She can't afford it!
"Who's going to tell me what's going on?" Tian Minyan looked at Mr. Jiang coldly.
Jiang curled his lips, feeling a little weak when she looked at her. Her sharp eyes made her close-fitting clothes wet.
Seeing Tian Minyan's anger, the old man glared at Jiang, twitching his lips and said: "It's nothing, your mother is acting stupid, Yan Ya, you can go and do your work."
"You are the one who is being stupid. They are unfilial. I am going to sue the officials." Jiang was originally a little guilty and uneasy. When the old man said this, his face darkened and he retorted.
Tian Minyan narrowed her eyes after hearing this, and directed her icy eyes at Jiang, saying: "Unfilial? Old lady, do you eat what is short at home or wear what is short when you wear it? The water in Kyoto nourishes people, and when the old lady comes to Kyoto, her breath will be rosy."
, we are also very wealthy, why are we so unfilial?"
"What's this? You guys have something to do every day. We've been wandering around the yard all day, and we've counted the leaves on the trees. I just want to pick up my two granddaughters to live with us for a while.
Two old guys, you'd better be on guard against thieves. You can't say anything at once. What old lady, you can't comply with this request. What's the point of me staying here? I want to go back to Yangmei Village, and it won't bother you.
Wealth and honor." Jiang's face turned red, he touched his fat belly and said with a stiff neck.
"Mom, we just came to Kyoto. We are still busy with this matter. Even we don't know the way yet. What are we doing here to pick up the child?" The third child said awkwardly: "When everything is settled, you have to think carefully before picking up the child."
It’s not too late.”
When Jiang heard this, his face lit up, his eyes rolled around, and he said, "Then pick up your eldest sister, your little sister, and their family. There are many people and it's lively. I miss them too. Anyway, this house is enough."
It’s big enough to fit in.”
Ha, that’s why!
Tian Minyan sneered and said: "It turns out that the old lady misses her grandchildren and home. It just so happens that Prince Xian has a batch of goods to send to Qingzhou. Since the old lady is homesick, let's go back together. At least there will be someone to take care of her.
Jixiang, go and clean up for the old lady."
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's expression changed, she pointed at Tian Minyan and said, "You, you unscrupulous woman, are you driving me away?"
"There's no need to rush. The old lady doesn't like living in Kyoto, and she also misses her family. We are trying to accommodate the old lady, and we are just showing filial piety." Tian Minyan said calmly: "As for the old lady going back, there is no need to worry about the old man having no one to take care of him.
There aren’t many uncles in Zhong County. They have the most maids and women, so they will take good care of the old man.”
Everyone could understand what these words meant. The old man frowned and looked at Tian Minyan with a strange look.
But Jiang, with a livid face, stood up, pointed at Tian Minyan and said angrily: "You, how dare you!" Does this mean that you want to take a concubine for the old man to serve?
"Old Madam, there is nothing I dare not do here!" Tian Minyan said coldly.
"You..." Jiang didn't take a breath, rolled his eyes, passed over, and fell limply on the chair.
"Old woman." The old man was shocked and glared at Tian Minyan angrily: "Girl Yan, what are you..."
"Old man, this is Kyoto, not Yangmei Village. There are no airtight walls and the house is restless. It will be a big joke if word spreads. The old lady is making such a fuss. It is not embarrassing, but I am afraid it will affect the future of Brother Rui and the others." Tian Minyan said.
His face was stern, and he refused to give in even a step: "The old man should at least try to persuade the old lady. It's not easy for us, the third room, to survive today."
The old man was angry and then startled. He sighed and said, "I understand."
