The old lady and Aunt Zhuang looked at each other.
The old lady asked timidly, "So, you have a tiger at home?"
"Yes, it's very well-behaved. Next time I come back, I'll take it for a walk."
The two old guys looked unhappy.
I've heard of people keeping cats and dogs, but I've never heard of anyone keeping a tiger.
What a crazy family!
The old lady lost her previous arrogance in an instant: "Just now, I was too aggressive, but your father is now highly valued by the court. Bringing these things back is really unlucky."
"I didn't bring any paper money back, so what's so unlucky about that? Besides, you didn't mind the things that my aunt brought for the ancestral offerings, so why do you mind me? Grandma, you're biased!"
The old lady was so angry that she wanted to hit her again.
Jiang Shuyue quickly hid behind Jiang's mother: "Mom, grandma is so fierce, Yue'er is scared."
Jiang's mother: This child is pretending more and more like the real thing. I don't know how he developed such acting skills.
Xiao Laoliu: Guess!
Jiang's mother also acted like a loving mother and a filial son, gently patting Jiang Shuyue's shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, Yue'er. You can do whatever you want at home. No one dares to say anything to you. Mother will take care of everything."
"Mother is so kind."
Jiang Shuyue hugged her and rubbed her, smelling a faint fragrance, and felt inexplicably at peace.
She had never experienced this feeling since she was born.
Perhaps this is a feeling unique to mammals.
Mother Jiang: "I think your grandmother was just being quick-witted. Although she's lived here for twenty years, the habits she acquired as a child haven't changed. Sometimes she can be a little outspoken. You should be more understanding."
Before the old lady could react, Jiang Shuyue had already fallen down laughing.
Jiang Shuyue: [My mother is so mean, she actually mocked me as an uneducated and stupid woman, and I didn't even notice!]
Huahua: [I wasn't smart to begin with. If I hadn't accidentally married the only scholar in the village, I wouldn't have had such a great life.]
Jiang Shuyue: [In the original novel, this old man actually enjoys wealth and glory, and spends his old age in seclusion. It's simply unbelievable. Did the author write this work with his cerebellum?]
Huahua: [Who knows? But your mother is pretty amazing. Her Green Tea Points have increased again. You'll be able to collect a thousand points soon.]
Mother Jiang: "Oh, grandma is old, has a bad temper and forgets things. It's normal. I can understand, Yue'er should understand too. And your aunt, there are not many good things in the countryside. It's very good that you can bring these things from thousands of miles away. Thank you aunt."
Jiang Shuyue nodded, went up to her knees obediently, and performed a simple etiquette.
"Thank you, Auntie. Minghuitang's food is really good. I'll steam it tonight. I'm craving some preserved meat!"
Mother Jiang really couldn't hold it in any longer.
Minghuitang is an old shop that mainly sells snacks and some local specialties.
There are also things like cured fish and cured meat.
There will be a "Ming" character on their baskets, with lace, which is different from the logos in other places.
She mentioned this because she had asked Xiaotao to buy snacks and local specialties several times and had seen this logo before.
Aunt Zhuang almost fainted from anger on the spot.
Mother Jiang smiled and said, "Okay, go to the back and wait. I've prepared some soft cheese for you. You'll like it."
"Thank you, mother. Yue'er will take her leave now."
Jiang Shuyue skipped away. Aunt Zhuang wanted to curse, but she didn't dare to say it in front of Jiang's mother. Her face turned blue and purple from holding it in.
Huahua laughed: [Did you see that old man's expression? It was truly fascinating!]
Jiang Shuyue: [He bought some small items locally and lied that they were from his hometown. This is a terrible lie. At least he could use a different container. A basket is only two cents. He's too stingy to even consider such a small amount.]
Huahua: [Auntie Zhuang is incredibly stingy. She's still the head of the household. She'll never spend her own money on anything she can get from others, and won't buy anything herself if someone else gives it to her. More than half of the family's food, clothing, and daily expenses are given by others.]
Jiang Shuyue: [She's so stingy and hasn't even made a fortune yet. It's really unfair to her.]
Housekeeper Chen arranged a pavilion for her, half of which was surrounded by rockery and flowers, while the other side had a view of the open field.
There were fruits and tea in the middle of the pavilion, and a rocking chair was specially placed there.
Butler Chen brought her here, lit some insect repellent incense, and said, "Young Master said you hate insects, so he bought a new batch of insect repellent incense a few days ago. It doesn't smell strong, but it's very effective in repelling insects. He also asked me to pack some for you to take home when you return."
"Thank you for your concern, brother. Is he not here today?"
"This is the Second Young Master's reward. Before we move into our new home, there are many things we need to buy. The Second Young Master doesn't know how to do this, and the Second Madam can't take care of it all by herself, so the Eldest Young Master is here to help."
Huahua: [Don't be fooled by your big brother's serious demeanor. He's a real expert at bargaining. Five years ago, he nearly made a street vendor cry when he bought a rabbit lantern for five cents.]
Jiang Shuyue: [Big brother is a half-kill? ]
Huahua: [Even scarier than the half-kill. Let's put it this way, Xiaoshiye's price control is already very strong, but he's still very generous with his money. He spends when he should, without hesitation.]
Your eldest brother is the type who, even if it means spending money, will kill someone twice, and won't be happy until blood is spilled. If he hadn't grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, I'd suspect he suffered countless hardships as a child, and now he's grown up, he's using this method to take revenge on society.
Butler Chen nodded silently in his heart.
The person that all the leaders in the mansion fear the most is the eldest young master.
He looks like a gentle person, but when it comes to settling accounts, he turns into a smiling tiger.
He always appears suddenly and asks about accounting matters with a smile.
A few seemingly casual words suddenly delivered a killer move that caught people off guard.
Moreover, he is extremely shrewd. Even if the cabbage expenses this month are one or two more silver coins than last month, he must find out why.
Butler Chen didn't know who he looked like.
But he knew that with the eldest young master's personality, if he got married, he would probably still be the one to manage the household...
"Miss, please sit here for a while. The cheese will be served soon. I have prepared some peach blossom cakes for you. Please try them first."
"Thank you very much."
Jiang Shuyue opened the lunch box and was stunned instantly.
Jiang Shuyue: [Huahua, am I blind? Or is this shape of peach blossom pastry popular now?]
Jiang Shuyue picked up one of the pieces.
Half of the peach blossom pastry was missing, and there were two small front tooth marks on it.
Jiang Shuyue: "The front tooth marks on this peach blossom pastry are quite realistic."
Huahua: [How realistic, you big-headed ghost! It's obvious that someone stole it! ]
