Chapter 100: The Master of Enlightenment
Jiang Xinyu is truly a typical example of someone who is quiet but shocking when she speaks. Her nonsense successfully shocked the whole audience.
Liu Xu felt that her brain was not enough.
He has been in Nanfeng Pavilion for 20 years, but why does he feel not as unrestrained as this teenage young wife?
But is she serious about comparing the emperor to a prostitute?
This is a capital crime punishable by loss of head. Although he has often said that he wants to die, he has not lived enough.
He really didn't want to hear such outrageous words.
Apparently, Mrs. Wang and July had also thought of this. Several maids hurried to the door to look around for fear that someone was eavesdropping. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she covered her niece's mouth.
"How dare you say anything, you suicidal girl? Is that something you can just say casually?
You are bringing disaster to both your husband's family and your own family, and if things go wrong, even your entire clan will be implicated."
Jiang Xinyu flexibly hugged her aunt's arm and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, it's okay. If only a few of us heard it, how could it be transmitted to outsiders?
Besides, what would happen even if it was spread?
To catch a thief and steal, to catch an adulterer and both, you say I said it and I say you said it.
There is no need to be afraid of something that happens when the upper lip touches the lower lip without any evidence."
"That won't work either."
Mrs. Wang pinched her twice again, feeling very disappointed.
"You must correct your outspokenness. Who knows, one day you might say something you shouldn't have said.
Keep your eyes open and your mouth slow; you can be a thief or a whore in your heart but you must be righteous and moral in your words.
This is the way to survive, and you have to carve it into your ribs.”
Seeing that her aunt was really angry, Jiang Xinyu quickly begged for forgiveness and said that she would not say it again in the future. Then she grinned at Liu Xu.
"How's it going, cousin Yu, are you feeling more positive?
If you ask me, you are just making trouble for yourself. You have survived such a difficult environment before. Now that life is easy, you are getting stuck in a dead end. Aren't you being mean to yourself?
I tell you, don't be too realistic. There is a difference between your biological children and your own children.
You are your aunt's flesh and blood, so she must love you. Just tell her the truth.
As for your father and your brothers and sisters, they don't need to be so heartfelt. Just get a fake household registration and make up a story. When you go out, you can give yourself an identity.
It's thousands of miles from Jiangnan to the capital, and you may not meet anyone you know. If you are really worried, just change your appearance.
I just talked to my aunt yesterday and asked my husband to find you a martial arts master who can take you to live in a mountain village for a year or so.
After hunting, shooting and archery and running around in the mountains and fields, it didn't take long for the cocoon in my hand to rise, my body to become stronger and my face to become tanned.
Once your temperament changes, even if you stand in front of Nanfeng Pavilion, no one may recognize you.
Anyway, you won't have to rely on your looks and figure to make a living in the future, so be as rough as you can. I don't believe that anyone can point to a black bear and say he used to be a prostitute.
Even if he dares to say it, no one dares to believe it!"
Liu Xu's mouth twitched when he heard this. Although he didn't want to turn into a black bear demon, what the other person said seemed to make some sense.
It was rare that the governor's wife did not despise her humble background and gave him advice wholeheartedly. Liu Xu saw that the look she gave Jiang Xinyu was full of gratitude.
Mrs. Wang sighed and patted Liu Xu's hand.
"Good boy, just listen to Yu'er. No one among us will tell you about your background or past.
Change your identity and start over. You are still young, and you will have a bright future ahead of you, so don’t be pessimistic. "
Liu Xu nodded and called "cousin" hesitantly. It was obvious that she had heard me and she was no longer as embarrassed and reserved as she was at the beginning.
Jiang Xinyu was even more outgoing. As soon as she sat down at the table, she asked July and the others to serve the meal.
She consumed too much energy last night and was hungry now, so she needed to replenish her energy quickly.
After this period of replenishment, Jiang Xinyu is no longer as hungry as before. He can eat out of two or three tables and even one and a half tables.
She gets tired of eating too much good food, so in order to save time on meals, she has changed her focus from quantity to quality.
Not only is ginseng soup a must every day, but sometimes the housekeeper buys fresh ginseng and she dips it in honey and eats it like scallions.
Xiao Yuan was afraid that she might have damaged her health by overeating, so he asked the imperial physician to check her pulse. After knowing that his wife was in good health, he let her do as she pleased.
Not only did he keep all the fine ginseng collected in the mansion for her alone, he also instructed the housekeeper to purchase more outside the mansion at any time.
It can be said that the biggest expense of the Lord's Mansion in the past month was all on the lady's mouth.
She alone has already eaten up the Governor's Mansion's expenses for the past year.
Every time the housekeeper looked at the purchase invoice, he couldn't help but have a heart attack. This was not like marrying a wife, this was like raising a ferocious beast.
The lady of his family never attends banquets or goes out, and she just shows off every day.
When the number of pigs is high, half a pig, ten chickens, a sheep, and a few side dishes and supplements will be used every day. Who can afford to raise pigs?
Not only is it a waste of materials, but it is also a waste of manpower. The chef's spatulas are smoking, and the stove never stops burning from morning to night.
It's all thanks to the fact that their governor has a wealthy family, otherwise a lady like this would have starved away sooner or later.
Jiang Xinyu didn't look bad while eating, but she ate very fast and a lot. Lady Wang and Liu Xu couldn't even catch up with half of her.
This guy not only ate the food himself but also gave it to others. Liu Xu even said that after he was full, she forced others to give him another bowl.
According to her, change starts with eating.
Only people who have bad intentions towards you want you to be thin and weak so that you can fall down with a push.
Grandpas should act like grandpas. What's the point of talking about establishing a family if you can't even beat a mouse after eating that half bowl of cat food?
Eat more, and then take a walk in the yard to bask in the sun.
Only when your appetite increases can your body become stronger, and your fragile temperament can be lessened.
Liu Xu glanced at Jiang Xinyu's appetite and picked up the chopsticks again.
He is indeed not as manly as the Governor's wife, probably because he eats less.
Jiang Xinyu watched Liu Xu listen to the advice and silently gave herself a thumbs up, then picked up a piece of braised pork to reward herself.
Mrs. Wang was speechless for a moment as she looked at her bold niece and shy nephew. She wondered if their personalities could be different.
In the past, she always felt that Yu'er's marriage to Governor Xiao was a waste, but from what happened yesterday, it seemed that Yu'er had gotten a great deal in this marriage.
As an aunt, she naturally thinks her own child is good in every way, but she cannot go against her conscience and say that Yu'er can make a good daughter-in-law.
With such a carefree, outspoken and heartless personality, not to mention that her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law would not be able to tolerate her, even her husband could not stand it.
Apart from some physical deficiencies, Governor Xiao dotes on Yu'er to the core in other aspects.
Love the person and love his dog too. If he didn't love Yu'er so much, he would never treat her, a merchant relative, with such courtesy.
Mrs. Wang had been staying in the capital for many days because she was worried about Jiang Xinyu. Now that she saw that her child was living a happy life, she had nothing to worry about anymore.
I had originally planned to leave once the mahjong business got on track, but now with Zhang Yu's incident, I'm afraid I'll have to stay for another month or two.
But all good things must come to an end, and she has a lot of things to do at home. As the mistress of the house, she can't stay in the capital for a long time.
After all, Liu Xu's identity was awkward, and it was already the limit for the three of them to have a meal at the same table.
After dinner, Mrs. Wang took Jiang Xinyu back to the main courtyard, leaving the yard full of willow catkins for a walk to digest their food.
Jiang Xinyu, the lazy bug who just got up at noon, couldn't escape a lecture from Mrs. Wang in the end.
But this is not the point. The point is Mrs. Wang’s last sentence:
Listen even if you are impatient. No one will say anything to you after your aunt leaves!
Jiang Xinyu then remembered that her aunt was not from the capital and would leave sooner or later. She was afraid that she would be left alone again.
