Mrs. Hu looked bad, and Chu Yunli looked the same.
If these people hadn't come to recognize their relatives on a whim, how could Shen Jiayu have died?
In fact, Shen Jiayu's death was not only a result of deliberate calculations, but also a coincidence. Let's put it this way, she would not be able to give birth to many children in her life, and Jiang Jixiao would not be able to pass the exam a few times. If Jiang Jixiao hadn't happened to be away when she gave birth,
It's not that easy to kill her without arousing suspicion.
"Don't ask so many questions. The heirs of rich families cannot be confused. I have already found out your life experience before I came here. Just follow me. The master is still waiting for you in the house."
Mrs. Hu's tone did not allow for rejection.
Jiang Jixiao frowned: "I'm living a good life now..."
Mrs. Hu sneered, her eyes swept across the yard with contempt, and interrupted him: "Do you know what a good life is?"
"In Madam's eyes, maybe I live a poor and destitute life. But I am indeed very satisfied." Jiang Jixiao said seriously: "I look at Madam's appearance and she doesn't like me. If so, why take me back and make me feel disgusted in front of you?
Own?"
Mrs. Hu angrily yelled: "Nonsense!" She really didn't like this child, but she could keep some things in mind.
Just now, Jiang Jixiao directly spoke to her mind, which added another layer of disgust to her. People in wealthy families pay attention to being subtle and tactful, and even if everyone understands it tacitly, they can't expose it.
"Pack your things quickly."
This was said to Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli did not move, hugged the child and asked with a smile: "If we go back, we have to come up with a charter. At least let us husband and wife know who we will be when we go back, and where we will live, right?"
"He is the son of the Hu family, so he naturally has a yard to live in." Mrs. Hu said bluntly: "Don't bring those rags, so as not to make people laugh. You and your family of three can just follow me."
Chu Yunli looked puzzled: "In that case, what do you want me to clean up?"
Mrs. Hu: "..."
She realized she was dead wrong.
Before she came here, she thought they were just a country couple who had never seen the world and let her rub them. But now it seems that the two people's words are more sharp than the other.
"No more cleaning up, let's go now."
Jiang's mother's heart was in her throat. She couldn't understand why her son and daughter-in-law were still lingering when such a good thing happened. If she offended this lady, her life of wealth would probably be ruined. But let her speak up and persuade her.
, she didn’t dare, and even shrank back.
Jiang Jixiao did not move: "Madam, I want to know why my biological mother had a child with the man you talk about?"
Mrs. Hu frowned: "That has happened many years ago, and I don't want to mention it again. I advise you not to get to the bottom of it. Go back with me. Looking back, I will see that you have been living abroad for many years and have suffered a lot of grievances. No.
I will treat you badly." After a pause, she added: "I heard that you just won the title of scholar in this year's county examination. In two days, the adults will entertain you students, and the invitation should be on the way. Anyway, you
They all have to go.”
Regarding the county magistrate's banquet with scholars, Jiang Jixiao had already heard about it and had no doubts about it.
Jiang Jixiao turned his head to look at Chu Yunli and asked her what she meant with his eyes.
"Take advantage of it if you can. If you don't take advantage of it, don't take advantage of it." Chu Yunli glanced over and said: "That carriage is much more comfortable than ours. Let's go."
Jiang Jixiao reached out and hugged the child, and told Mrs. Kong next to her: "Second Aunt, please take care of my mother here these days. Neither of you go back to the village."
Mrs. Kong received a monthly salary, and she thought she would lose her job after the family moved to the city. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang would stay... Even if she would be picked up in the future, she would be able to do more.
After being paid for a period of time, I immediately agreed.
The story of the young couple being picked up by the carriage soon spread in the town. The mother-in-law who arrived first had no intention of hiding anything and told the story at the door. Because, Ma Chao almost
As soon as they left the town, most of the people knew that Jiang Jixiao was a rich man who had wandered away from home. Now he was found by his relatives and he was going to live a good life.
Regardless of what everyone in the village and town thought, the carriage finally entered the city after two days of jolting.
The county town is not big, and it is considered a very prosperous place compared with the town. But in the eyes of the knowledgeable Chu Yunli, it is not too wealthy.
The people in the city came and went quite peacefully, and the officials here should be good. Chu Yunli came back to the city for the first time, opened the curtain a small crack, and looked out.
Jiang Jixiao was also quietly observing her. He found that this woman was very energetic and didn't rest much all the way here, as if she didn't need to sleep.
"What do you think of it here?"
"It's good!" Chu Yunli replied casually: "To be honest, if you really want your children to be good, you still have to move to a prosperous place."
Jiang Jixiao smiled bitterly: "I am a scholar. If we move to the city, it will be difficult for me to support my family."
Chu Yunli glanced at him: "Actually, I would rather move to Fucheng. If you can help us, we can move to the capital in the future, or you can send the children to other places to let the children see more of the world." She emphasized: "If
You have no intention of taking a concubine, this is your only child."
This statement made it clear that she would not be married to him, let alone give him a child.
Jiang Jixiao lowered his eyes: "If it is good for the children, I will try my best."
"That's good." Chu Yunli was quite satisfied and leaned on the carriage to take a nap: "Call me when we are almost there. I have to recharge my batteries."
Jiang Jixiao: "..."
Looking at Mrs. Hu, he knew that it was difficult to deal with a wealthy family. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard for you."
Chu Yunli didn't open her eyes: "It's not difficult, I also want to see what kind of family that is."
Less than half an hour later, the carriage stopped. Without Jiang Jixiao calling out, Chu Yunli had already opened her eyes and lifted the curtain.
The gate of Hu Mansion is majestic. There are two big stone lions at the door, which look quite majestic. The carriage is carved outside the gate, and there is no intention to go in. The concierge has also moved a stool to make it easier to get off the carriage.
Jiang Jixiao went down first and turned around to help carry the child. Chu Yunli picked up the child and jumped down lightly.
Mrs. Hu's carriage had already entered, and apart from the servants, there were only a family of three left at the door. Chu Yunli could feel the eyes of everyone around them looking at them.
Someone stepped forward to lead the way: "Master, please."
Planning to let them enter through the small door on the side, Jiang Jixiao frowned and did not intend to be picky, but Chu Yunli stopped: "Before coming, Madam said that we are distinguished guests, and also said that Hu Mansion has a tall lintel and is very strict about rules. In your mansion,
The rule is to let distinguished guests go through the small door?"
The concierge was startled: "This..."
It is not up to him alone to decide whether to go through the big or small gates.
At just the right moment, a steward appeared: "Open the door."
Jiang Jixiao stretched out his hand to touch the child's face, leaned slightly closer to Chu Yunli and whispered: "Why are you doing this?"
"People have to know that we are not to be trifled with." Chu Yunli looked sideways at him and said meaningfully: "I have seen a lot, so you are right to listen to me."
After hearing this, Jiang Jixiao felt another layer of discomfort in his heart. Since he suspected that the woman in front of him had been changed, he tried it several times without giving up. In the end, it was better not to try. After the test, the man simply stopped covering up.
Shen Jiayu, a girl who grew up in a town, where can she get to know the rules and servants of these wealthy families? Jiang Jixiao came back to his senses and found that he had walked into a beautiful garden. For a moment, he felt that his eyes were not full.
, just as he was sighing in his heart, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the woman next to him looking like she was used to it... Shen Jiayu had never seen such a garden with three steps and one view!
The two were led to a small courtyard, and soon someone brought hot water and clothes for them to wash up. Even the children's clothes were not left behind.
The clothes that were delivered were made of fine and smooth material and were worth a lot at first sight.
The two of them didn't ask any questions, they just came. It would be pretentious to refuse right away. It was already half an hour after they changed their clothes.
It was already past noon, and the two of them were brought to the main courtyard. The person sitting at the top was Mrs. Hu. In addition, there was also a middle-aged wealthy man who had put on weight.
The master's eyes fell on Jiang Jixiao, and he nodded and said: "Madam is right, you look like this, you can tell that you are my Hu family member. Kneel down quickly!"
Jiang Jixiao was confused: "What are you doing kneeling down?"
"Recognize me daddy!" Mr. Hu said matter-of-factly.
Jiang Jixiao was silent for a moment: "I really think that recognizing my father is of great importance, and I need to find out more about it. My wife was unwilling to tell me the details of my biological mother before. Since I want to recognize my father, I must know who my mother is.
Let me know why I was living outside that year?"
Hearing this, Mr. Hu frowned: "You and I were in love, but some misunderstandings arose. She was pregnant with you and left. I later inquired about her whereabouts, and then I found you."
Jiang Jixiao asked: "What about my mother?"
"She is married and has children of her own." Mr. Hu sighed.
Jiang Jixiao was a little surprised. He never expected that besides his father, he also had his mother alive. He asked curiously: "Where is she now?"
"She doesn't want you anymore. If she leaves you at a farmer's house, just treat her as if she is no longer in this world and don't bother her." Mr. Hu said impatiently: "Kneel down quickly!"
"It looks like Jiang Xiucai doesn't want to recognize his relatives." A young man's voice sounded at the door. Chu Yunli turned around and saw a young man in his twenties entering the door with a smile. His facial features were somewhat similar to Mrs. Hu's.
Mrs. Hu smiled and said: "This is your cousin. He has been in the house for six years. Although he and I are not father and son, our friendship for many years is true."
Chu Yunli couldn't bear the fact that there was something wrong in her words, so she asked with a smile: "What do you mean, madam, is this Mr. Hu's adopted son?"
Mrs. Hu's smile froze.
In the past few years, she has tried her best to make things happen, but the master has always refused to let go. If her maternal nephew really could be included in the Hu family tree, the master would not go to Jiang Jixiao.
"No." Mr. Hu waved his hand: "He is very capable. He has helped me take care of my business in the past few years and has helped share a lot of burdens. Since you are back, you should learn from your cousin in the future."
Jiang Jixiao emphasized: "I am a scholar and I will take the imperial examination in the future."
"I know." Mr. Hu said cheerfully: "When you read your book, someone will always take care of your family's business. Red Sea does things properly, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Chu Yunli asked curiously: "I don't understand something, and I would like to ask you to help me clear it up."
Mr. Hu nodded: "You ask."
Chu Yunli was confused: "When did you decide that the child's father was Hu Jiazi?"
