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 and be annoying because they see each other every day.
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's approval before I leave."
Of course he didn't want to do this. Who would want to be separated from his wife and children? But there was nothing he could do!
If he really stayed and something happened, he would not be able to take care of it as he is far away at the border.
It would cause him pain if either side was injured.
"Of course that's great, it couldn't be better." The old lady's smile was even more relieved, but she couldn't help but change the subject, "Buying a house isn't cheap, is it? Did you put it in Sister Lin's name?"
The implication is, why be so nice to her when she's a fake!
Jiang Shang subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ying, but found that the latter was nothing unusual.
I guess he doesn't care much about these money matters.
Therefore, his impression of Jiang Ying became better and better. After all, the calmer and more indifferent a woman is, the better her future life will be.
If you are always fighting and competing, your heart will not be at peace.
But in fact, Jiang Ying was extremely wealthy. The rewards given by the emperor at the homecoming banquet, as well as the gifts from various households who came to support the king, added up to at least 80,000 taels. In addition, there were the subsidies given to her by her grandmother in private and the money she had taken from Yan Zhuo. A mere house was nothing to her.
Why should we make things difficult for Jiang Shang just for such a small gain?
Jiang Shang lowered his head. A ruthless general on the battlefield, a guilty son in front of the old lady. "I... I was thinking too. After all, I've raised her for sixteen years. I can't let her go out and become a beggar. Besides, there's the Luo family."
I can't give her much more, but I have to 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, and 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 I'll prepare for Sister Ying will definitely be the most generous. It won't even surpass the betrothal gifts of her brothers."
"That's more like it!"
The three Yuans also heard that their father said he would give his sister a dowry that was even larger than the betrothal gift, but no one objected.
On the contrary, Jiang Yuanlang blinked his cunning eyes and said, "Dad, the future is the future. I have already bought a house for my sister, but I'm still short of money for furniture and other things. Can you give me some money?"
When they moved to Yuhui Cottage, the three brothers used all their private savings to pay for food.
Later, when we bought the house, we all sold a lot of our collections together to raise enough money.
There really wasn't enough money left to decorate the house, and he had to buy furniture. Jiang Yuanlang was having a headache and was thinking of asking his grandmother for help. Who would have thought it was such a coincidence that when someone was sleepy, she would give him a pillow, and it would be his own father who would be cheated!
Jiang Shang nodded quickly, "Okay, tell me how much silver you need. If you don't go through the public court, it will show my love for Yingying."
After dinner, Jiang Yuanlang couldn't wait to get started.
It was said that before entering the palace, Jiang Ying would be allowed to live in a new house and have a hot and lively housewarming meal.
Jiang Ying also wanted to go with his son. Of course, his own home should be decorated 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 one family, tomorrow you will be one family. Go and complete your mission."
It was still because of those invitations. Although Jiang Ying and the old lady had already discussed it, they would only 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.
Future husband and little sisters.
The former is a close relative, and the latter is a good friend. Outsiders have no chance to find fault with them.
Who made them not close to Jiang Ying?
On the contrary, it will only make these people more eager to ask Jiang Ying to treat their diseases.
The so-called hunger marketing is nothing more than this.
"Okay, then let's go to the Qi Mansion first. Madam Qi suffers from an old problem of internal rheumatism. I'll give her a few acupuncture needles and give her some wind-removing medicine. The effect will be seen in ten days or half a month."
But in fact, Madam Qi did not just come to 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 my old bones won't live long, and what I'm most worried about is Zhuo'er.
"His mother died young, his father was confused, and he himself was careless and unplanned. He lived a lonely life with no tomorrow and might end up alone in the future.
"Fortunately, although your engagement has been postponed, I can see that you both have feelings for each other. As long as you have each other in your heart, good things will come to you through thick and thin. It can also be considered a kind of emotional experience."
The old man was half leaning on the bed, looking haggard, but speaking with great sincerity.
It was so difficult for Jiang Ying to say anything to spoil the fun.
Seeing her embarrassment, Lian quickly said with a smile, "Old sister, your words are too negative. I must criticize you! What's the matter? Don't you believe in my sister Ying'er's medical skills? Look at what I was like before. I coughed up blood three times a day, more regularly than I ate, and now I'm still full of energy."
Madam Qi is 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 are estranged and unfaithful, and those who calculate their own interests, there are not many people who can finally see the light of day, so the status of these two is particularly transcendent among the aristocratic families.
Hearing this, Madam Qi nodded slowly. "Yes, you are right to scold me. I should have held on to my hopes. Apart from anything else, I must witness the wedding of Ying Jie'er and Zhuo Ge'er with my own eyes. That way, when Yun Wan asks me about it downstairs, I can tell you everything."
Yunwan was the maiden name of Yan Zhuo'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 walked to the next room to quietly concentrate on writing the prescription.
He was writing so carefully that when he heard footsteps, Jiang Ying subconsciously picked up the prescription he had just written, blew on it, and handed it over. "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 graceful man dressed in a black robe made of gold thread, which was not only noble but also mysterious.
The man opened his thin lips and said, "I'm here today to repair the flower stand. The roses that my mother planted in her boudoir are blooming so abundantly this year that they've almost collapsed the stand. In previous years, my grandmother did it herself, refusing to let anyone else do it. This year, my grandmother is really not up to the task, so she asked me to come here to fulfill my filial duty to my mother."
There is another reason. Today is actually Qi Yunwan’s memorial day.
