Jiang Wu paused and said with a hint of wantlessness in his voice: "You are thinking about eating shit."
Perhaps these words were too modern. Zhou Xianen's face was blank for at least two seconds, until Jiang Wu asked again: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Xianen explained everything he had investigated before, and Jiang Wu was also very surprised: "Even the old people in the house may not know about this, so how did you know about it?"
Of course, Zhou Xianen could not tell all about his hard work these days, but he just said vaguely: "This is the responsibility of Beizhen Fusi, and it is also my responsibility."
Jiang Wu changed her position and sat on the tree trunk, and Zhou Xianen also sat down next to her, "Speaking of which, Miss Jiang has now become the daughter of Marquis Pingxuan, and I haven't come to congratulate you yet."
As he said that, he took out a jar of wine from somewhere and handed it to Jiang Wu: "Would you like to drink it?"
Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment and said dullly: "Mr. Zhou, did you take the wrong medicine today?"
He was squatting on a tree in his yard in the middle of the night and wanted to treat himself to a drink. It was not something Zhou Xianen could do.
Zhou Xianen touched her earlobe, and even though he hadn't drank yet, his tone sounded like he was drunk: "You haven't changed at all."
Jiang Wu raised his eyebrows: "It's only been a few days, how can it change? You're talking like you haven't seen me for a year and a half."
Zhou Xianen looked straight at her, seeing her beautiful side face and straight tip of nose, like gold and jade colliding, his eyes were filled with light. After a while, he looked away again and said nonchalantly: "I can't tell for sure in the future."
Jiang Wu misunderstood what he meant. Zhou Xianen is now considered to be a high-ranking official. If there are some official matters that need to be handled, she is now in the inner house, so she won't be able to see him for a year and a half. Jiang Wu said with relief: "That's also true.
What’s next.”
The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Xianen suddenly asked: "Why don't you call me Mr. Zhou now."
Jiang Wu paused and smiled, "Doesn't that feel strange? If you are willing, I will return it. Your rank is higher than mine, so I should call you Master Zhou."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xianen suddenly blushed: "...No, no need, that's good."
Jiang Wu:...Okay.
In the end, she didn't drink the wine handed over by Zhou Xian'en, because she didn't know how to drink at all. If she was someone who knew how to drink, she would naturally feel that the wine was sweet, but for someone like her who didn't know how to drink, just one sip would make her feel...
It was extremely spicy, so Zhou Xianen naturally wouldn't force it on her, but he still gave her the wine, saying it would be nice if she wanted to try it.
Jiang Wu naturally could not refuse the kindness of others. Zhou Xianen took her down the tree. She slowly carried the wine jar back. Fortunately, the wine jar was only the size of a palm. Jiang Wu felt strange. She had seen it in TV series before.
The bottles of wine are usually quite large, but I didn’t expect them to be so small.
When she returned to the room, Zhishu and Hexiang came to change her clothes. Jiang Wu was still not used to being served like this, and she felt awkward all over.
When Mo Hua came in to deliver water, he saw the jar of wine and seemed a little surprised: "Where did this wine come from?"
Jiang Wu paused and said nonchalantly: "What happened to the one that has been kept in my box?"
Mo Hua smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the girl is still a lover of wine. This wine is sold by 'Jiaquanju', and it is limited every month. If you go there too late, you won't be able to buy it even with a thousand pieces of gold."
Jiang Wu was surprised. That small jar was so precious. Were there no scalpers in ancient times? This was clearly hunger marketing.
…
The next day is the fifteenth day, and everyone has to have dinner together early in the morning.
Jiang Wu has been living in this mansion for two days, and everyone has seen it once. There is no mistress in the mansion, and Aunt Chen acts on her behalf. Perhaps Jiang Qingshan has given Jiang Wu a lot of dignity, so this time it is Chen.
The aunt personally came to lead her into the hall, and the other people were still waiting for her in the hall.
Jiang Xuelan seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. She looked very happy. She told Jiang Wu some interesting things about her time at Zhuangzi. From a distance, she seemed to be as harmonious as ordinary sisters.
When they entered the hall, Aunt Duan was already waiting in the hall with her young son. Speaking of it, she was now the lowest status person in the house. Jiang Qingshan only had these two aunts in total. Aunt Chen acted as mistress. If given time,
It’s not certain that the marriage will be renewed, and the rest will be Jiang Qingshan’s children.
Although this concubine is not as noble as the legitimate son and daughter, in the ancient patriarchal society, if she is also the son of the male master, she is still the master. However, this aunt has no status in the house and is not favored. She can only be regarded as half-hearted at best.
I am a master. Fortunately, although the Pingxuanhou Mansion is noble, the back house is simple at least. Otherwise, my aunt's life would have been even more difficult during this period.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wu had never spoken to Aunt Duan, and he didn't even pay much attention to her when they met that day. When they saw her today, they realized that she was a beauty - she was wearing a small green jacket with embroidered bamboo.
She wears a long peach blossom dress, has excellent skin, looks like a weak Liu Fufeng, and is very charming, especially those eyes.
Jiang Wu's eyes only stayed on Aunt Duan for a moment, and he saw her lowering her head in fear.
Turns out he is timid.
Jiang Qingshan and Jiang Hu had something to do early this morning, and only these people ate the fifteenth reunion dinner. After Jiang Wu sat down, Aunt Chen seemed quite attentive and said she asked the people in the kitchen what Jiang Wu liked to eat.
What, I specially prepared these for Jiang Wu today.
Jiang Wu accepted it with a smile. Halfway through the meal, the housekeeper sent someone to say that the eldest son had a conflict with someone on the street, and the other party said that Pingxuanhou Mansion would pay for the ransom.
When Jiang Lu heard this, he couldn't even hold the bowl firmly, "What's wrong, brother?"
The housekeeper said with a sad face: "Young man doesn't know. It was the man from Pingkangfang who came to the door. He said that our eldest son fell in love with the girl from Pingkangfang, but he didn't bring enough money and wanted to default on the debt. Now he is stuck in the street.
It's at the door of the house! I have already sent a letter to the master, but I am afraid it will take a while and a half before the master comes back..."
Jiang Lu said anxiously: "Blocking the door of the mansion? How can this be done? Isn't it just a joke of letting people see our Pingxuanhou mansion? Ruining my brother's reputation? It would be better to spend more money to invite people in and lock them up.
Let’s discuss it at the door.”
Before Jiang Wu came back, Jiang Hu was stationed at the border. Jiang Qingshan was not often in the house. Jiang Lu was the master of the house, so the housekeeper naturally obeyed her. Now he went immediately after listening to her orders.
Jiang Wu ate a shrimp dumpling, which was full of delicious flavor.
Jiang Lu was restless and became a little anxious when he saw Jiang Wu's unfazed look. He complained: "Sister, why aren't you worried at all? If my brother's reputation is damaged, it will only do harm to our house but no good!"
Jiang Wu wiped his mouth and said calmly: "Do you really believe that Jiang Hu will go to Pingkangfang?"
Jiang Lu was stunned: "Of course not."
Jiang Wu: "That's fine, we can't discuss this matter."
