The old lady no longer had any hope in the Luo family.
Therefore, it is better to settle them mother and son outside than to keep them in the Duke's Mansion, where they are always annoying.
Jiang Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. "The house has been bought, but I haven't discussed it with the mother and daughter yet. I want to wait for the mother to nod her head and get it done before my son leaves the retreat."
Of course he didn't want to do this, because who wants to be separated from his wife and children? But there was nothing he could do.
If he really stayed and something went wrong, he would not be able to take care of it as he was far away from the border.
No matter which side is injured, it will cause him pain.
"Of course that's good, it couldn't be better." The old lady's smiling face looked even more relieved, but she couldn't help but change the subject, "It's not cheap to buy a house, is it? You put it in Sister Lin's name?"
The implication is, why is she so nice to you, when she's a fake!
Jiang Shang subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ying, but found that there was nothing unusual about the latter.
I guess I don't care much about these money matters.
Therefore, his impression of Jiang Ying became better and better. After all, the more peaceful and calm a woman is, the easier her future life will be.
Those who fight and compete cannot be at peace in the first place.
But in reality, Jiang Ying was completely rich and generous. The award given by the emperor at the Guichao Banquet, the gifts from various households for serving the king, added up to at least 80,000 taels, if not 10,000 taels. In addition, there were the subsidies given to her by her grandmother in private and the wool she took from Yan Zhuosheng. A mere house was nothing to her.
Why should we embarrass Jiang Shang for such a small gain?
Jiang Shang lowered his head. He was a brave general on the battlefield and a guilty son in front of the old lady. "I... I was thinking, after all, I have raised her for six years. I can't let her go out and become a beggar. Not to mention she belongs to the Luo family."
I can't give her much more, but I can at least give her a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Otherwise, if something happened to her, everyone would know that she was the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, and she would lose face!
The old lady didn't not understand, she was just unhappy, "Okay, you've already bought it, I can't ask you to return it, but I'll treat you equally, you should make up for Sister Ying's share as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, mother. The dowry that my son has prepared for Sister Ying will definitely be the most generous. Even the betrothal gifts of her brothers cannot match it."
"That's more like it!"
The three Yuans also heard their father say that he would give their sister a dowry that was even larger than the betrothal gift, but no one objected.
On the contrary, Jiang Yuanlang blinked his cunning eyes, "Dad, the latter is the latter, right now I have bought a house for my sister, but I am still short of money to buy furniture and other things, can you give me some money?"
When they moved to Yuhui House, the three brothers used all their private savings to pay for food.
Later, we bought the house by selling a lot of our collections together to raise enough money.
There was indeed not enough money left to decorate the house and purchase furniture. Jiang Yuanlang was having a headache and thought about asking his grandmother for help. Who would have thought that sending a pillow when you are sleepy would only pit your own father!
Jiang Shang nodded quickly, "Okay, tell dad how much money you need. If you don't want to go to the public court, it will be considered as dad's love for Yingying."
After dinner, Jiang Yuanlang couldn't wait to start playing.
It is said that before entering the palace, Jiang Ying will live in a new house and have a hot and noisy warm meal.
Jiang Ying wanted to go with his son. Of course, he would decorate his home according to his own wishes.
But he was stopped by the old lady.
"Yingying, you will enter the palace the day after tomorrow. Today you will be with one family, and tomorrow you will be with another family. Go and complete your mission."
Still those invitations were noisy. Although Jiang Ying and the old lady had already discussed it, they would go to two houses, one was the Qi Mansion, Yan Zhuo's maternal family, and the other was the Su Mansion, Su Yilan's family.
Come to visit my husband and sisters.
The former is a close relative, and the latter is a good friend. Outsiders have no choice but to find fault with him.
Who made them not close to Jiang Ying?
On the contrary, it will make these people feel more urgent to ask Jiang Ying to see a doctor.
This is what is known as hunger marketing.
"Okay, let's go to the Qi Mansion first. Madam Qi suffers from an old disease called rheumatism. I'll give her a few acupuncture needles and some wind-removing medicine. The effect will be seen in a few days or half a month."
But in fact, Madam Qi did not just come to see Jiang Ying for medical treatment.
She looked at the bright and graceful girl in front of her, her eyes full of love and joy, and she said "good" three times in a row, "good, good, good, good child!
"I know that I won't live long. My biggest worry is about my son.
"His mother died young, his father was confused, and he himself was careless and unprepared. He lives a lonely life with no tomorrow, and he may end up alone in the future.
"Although your engagement has been postponed, I can see that you both love each other. You both have each other in your heart. Good things take time, and it can be considered a kind of emotional experience."
The old man was half leaning on the bed, looking haggard, but speaking earnestly.
Jiang Ying was so upset that he couldn't say anything to spoil his mood.
Seeing her embarrassment, Lian said with a smile, "Old sister, what you said is too negative. I have to criticize you! What's the matter? Don't you believe in my sister Ying's medical skills? Look at what I was like before. I coughed up blood three times a day, more regularly than eating. Now I am still full of energy, right?"
Madam Qi was one of the few good friends of the Lian family.
As you get older and experience more, you will have fewer and fewer friends around you.
Excluding those who have changed their minds and calculated their own interests, there are not many people who can see clearly in the end, so the status of these two people from aristocratic families is particularly transcendent.
Hearing this, Madam Qi nodded slowly, "Yes, you are right. I should have held on to my expectations. Apart from other things, when Ying Jie'er and Zhuo'er get married, I must witness it with my own eyes. This way, when Yun Wan asks me about it downstairs, I can tell you everything."
Yunwan is the name of Yanzhuo's biological mother.
Qi Yunwan.
After going around in circles, we still come back to this topic.
Jiang Ying was already numb, so he pretended not to hear and went to the next room to quietly concentrate on writing the prescription.
He wrote it so carefully that when the footsteps were heard, Jiang Ying subconsciously picked up the prescription he had just written, blew on it, and handed it out, "Here is the prescription. If you are worried, you can ask the imperial physician to take a look first."
When he looked up, he found that the person at the table was not Madam Qi's confidant at all.
Instead, he was a tall and slender man, wearing a black robe with golden threads, which was not only noble but also mysterious.
The man opened his lips and said, "I am here today to repair the flower stand. The roses that my mother and her family planted when she was alive are blooming so abundantly this year that the stand has collapsed. In previous years, my grandmother did it herself and refused to ask others to do it for her. This year, my grandmother is really in financial difficulty, so she asked me to come here to show my filial piety to my mother."
Another reason is that today is actually Qi Yunwan's memorial day.
