Chapter 130 The Villain Should Look Like a Villain
It was night.
The Jiang Mansion was no longer brightly lit.
Now it was Jiang Wan who was the housekeeper.
She felt that it was too wasteful.
It was too conspicuous.
Just light up each master's room.
Because it did not affect people's lives, but made everyone feel more comfortable, so she was the housekeeper, and the family members adapted quickly.
But being a housekeeper was not easy. After taking control of the housekeeper's power, Jiang Wan was also in a mess for a while. She was not born knowing how to do it immediately, and it took her some time to adapt.
She killed a steward, raided the steward's house, and took over Yao Gu's leftover assets, and only then did she maintain the family.
Jiang Wan's methods were very ruthless, and it can be said that she did a very good job.
But she is just a little girl after all, and she has not yet married. Doing this will inevitably make people feel that she is too scheming.
There is no idle person in the mansion now. Every position is compact and useful. It
is basically divided into three parts. Jiang Huaisheng, his wife Wu Jingzi and the newborn son Jiang Shu live together every day. Jiang Huaisheng has a facial injury, and he always feels that he has not received good treatment. Now the scar is clearly visible on his left cheek.
He originally had a very open and comfortable face, with a very sunny and generous face. His face is more liked by the elders than Jiang Changtian's face, and it looks more down-to-earth.
But now Shengsheng has an extra scar. In fact, it is not big after recovery, only half a finger long.
But mirrors and other things in the house were removed. In order not to make her husband sad, Wu even gave up her dressing mirror.
The current situation is chaotic, and he still looks the same as before, studying and practicing swordsmanship, and educating his children in his spare time.
But now, he can't concentrate on his studies, and he is a little anxious. He practices swordsmanship more fiercely, and sometimes even gets a little injured.
He no longer teaches Jiang Rong all the time. Jiang Rong works harder than him and doesn't leave the room to study.
He has more time to accompany his little daughter Jiang Shu.
The time when this child came was very delicate, but it touched Jiang Huaisheng's heart.
He spent more time taking care of her personally, and his feelings were deeper. He
didn't expect that there were so many things to do with the baby, and his relationship with his wife became more harmonious.
At night, Shushu is a little guy who sleeps late, with his eyes rolling around. Jiang Huaisheng sits next to his little daughter and reads aloud to her.
Wu is doing needlework. When she was a girl, her needlework was very poor, and she could only do it to please others. She didn't expect that in this remote place, she would be able to hone her needlework day after day.
At this moment, she is actually very satisfied. The years are quiet and good, and that's all.
Jiang Rong is still studying. His followers have been replaced by Jiang Wan, but he doesn't care.
The new followers will remind him to go to bed on time. If he doesn't sleep, they will bring him midnight snacks and try to persuade him to get up and walk around. Although it is a bit annoying, Jiang Rong still appreciates it.
So during this period, Jiang Rong did not lose weight, but became fatter.
A little overworked.
Madam Jiang has a light sleep and dares not go to bed too early. If she goes to bed too early, she will easily wake up in the middle of the night and cannot fall asleep again.
In fact, she has not had a hard life in most of her life.
Even on the road of exile, there are people who take care of her. It can be regarded as a difficult journey, but it is not bad when she thinks about it .
Not long after she walked, the emperor pardoned her and she got on the carriage again.
Although Ming County is far away, it is also the life of a top wealthy family. Yao Gu took good care of her.
During this period of time after Yao Gu left, she was not used to it, but with Wan'er and her granddaughter, she trained a new maid. She was not used to it at first, but now she feels that she is not bad. She will also act according to her eyes. Although she is not as considerate as Yao Gu, she is more respectful.
She serves her more thoroughly. Although she knew that the family had little money now, as two-thirds of it was taken away by the thieves and the beast looted most of it, they could barely make ends meet.
Madam Jiang knew from the dishes and the quantity that the family did not have enough money now, which was why she finally decided to take her children and grandchildren to seek refuge with the concubine at her old age.
In fact, this was not a good choice. It would be better to return to the Jiang family's old house without dragging down the concubine.
But now Huaisheng had a wound on his face and the little beast was not dead yet, so she did not dare to go back to her hometown, which was very close to the capital.
After all, the concubine was the prince's consort. In the fiefdom, with Yuluan's personality, it was enough for her to settle them.
Madam Jiang did not drink tea at night, and she could not sleep well even if she got up in the middle of the night. She held half a piece of ginseng in her mouth to nourish her mind.
In fact, the one with the largest and most expensive expenses in the family was Madam Jiang.
She wanted a lot of things. Jiang Huaisheng thought that the money was embezzled from his mother to support his brother. In fact, it was just various medicinal materials used by Mrs. Jiang, such as ginseng for daily use. Ginseng slices are life-saving things for poor people. What she wanted was just snacks, sweet things.
When sleeping, she couldn't sleep unless the bed was made of silk. Silk products are easy to wrinkle and are more expensive than gold. If they are replaced frequently, it is almost the same as using gold for a period of time and then throwing it away.
Jiang Wan also knew this, so although she didn't want to go to her aunt, she thought it was inappropriate rationally. Going to her aunt would naturally make her inferior, but the family could not support it. The housekeeper was too tired. Her smile used to be pure and bright, but now there is always a trace of fatigue in her smile.
Jiang Wan actually spends a lot of money herself. She didn’t notice it when she was the housekeeper before, but she found out that she was a big spender.
Now that she is the housekeeper, she can’t cut anyone’s salary but her own.
And she must buy herself some clothes. The owner of the jewelry shop was so hateful. He originally said that he would buy out the patterns of her paintings at a high price, but he changed his mind.
Jiang Wan thought that the owner was greedy, took note of her patterns, and changed his mind.
She was still too young and suffered when dealing with people.
It was also because they were under the rule of the anti-thieves, so they didn’t have to give face to the Jiang family.
No matter how smart and talented you are outside, you still have to rely on power.
The experience during this period was a bit bad for Jiang Wan, but it was not too bad. It was also a time for her to grow.
There are no detours in this world, every road is a must.
She has read a lot of books, and although she was a little out of control when she saw Jiang Yu and her daughter in the daytime, she quickly adjusted herself.
In fact, there is no need to be surprised. It is difficult to change a person's nature. Even if Jiang Yu pretends to be a better person, it is still no big deal. She can see through it at a glance. He is still very naive.
Qin was born in the countryside, so she can only be domineering in Ming County. She doesn't need to show off her urgency in front of her.
Jiang Wan adjusted her mentality, copied an extra copy of the Heart Sutra, and practiced the piano for an afternoon.
The piano sound has more emotions, but it is more melodious and lingering.
It's okay, they will leave Ming County soon.
Leave this place that makes her feel uneasy.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
The sound of banging on the door.
The sound of swords colliding.
It's so close to her ears.
At first, I thought there were more rebels. Could it be that the rebels were fighting among themselves? These rebels without any roots are most likely to fight among themselves. They can't accomplish anything because they are the first to start a quarrel among themselves. This is also the reason why rebellions have failed since ancient times.
But the sound was too close.
It seemed to be right in the courtyard.
"Bang!"
A guard flew in from outside the door and knocked the door open.
He lay in front of the old lady and Jiang Wan.
The old lady was so frightened that she almost got choked by the ginseng slices in her mouth.
Jiang Wan was startled, and the first thing she did was to look down at her clothes. She was wearing a neat coat.
The guard flew in.
It was dark outside the door .
A man walked in from the darkness, with long black hair draped over his shoulders and a black robe. He had a smile on his face, as if he had walked out of a painting.
Old Lady Jiang was so scared that she almost suffocated.
Jiang Wan was also sitting there shaking uncontrollably.
"You beast, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Changtian said with red eyes, "Mother, I had a nightmare in the middle of the night and suddenly missed you so much that I came to see you."
The repeated calls of "mother" gave old lady Jiang goosebumps. She didn't know what had gone wrong with him.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap."
There were neat and orderly footsteps behind Jiang Changtian.
Dozens of people wearing armor, helmets and holding swords stood in a neat row at the door.
"I was worried that mother wouldn't let me in to show my filial piety, so I had to bring more men with me. Mother, look, they're coming in now."
The guards over there captured Jiang Huaisheng Wu and brought the baby with them. Jiang Rong was also captured.
"I had a nightmare. I missed my mother, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my nephews and nieces. Seeing you all here, I felt relieved. I wanted to get together with you, but I was worried that you wouldn't want to, so I brought more people. You see, this is also useful. Now everyone is together. We are brothers and sisters. Mother must be very pleased."
Jiang Changtian found a chair and sat down, wiped the blood off his hands, with a smile on his face and a gentle voice.
