Jiang Er Laoye was a true Jinshi, and he was sent back to Beijing when he was less than 40 years old. He is currently the Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department. It can be said that his career has been smooth sailing, and many people will praise him for his promising young age.
Such a person, no matter whether others look up to him or not, he thinks highly of himself, but today he was given the cold shoulder in the Minister of Rites's residence.
Of course it feels bad to be looked down upon.
When Mr. Jiang Er came back, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He sighed to Mrs. Feng, "I'm afraid that the Minister of Rites' Mansion and our Earl's Mansion will have a rift from now on."
Jiang Ancheng just came back, and Madam Feng glanced at him and said lightly: "Zhan'er is indeed too noisy, causing trouble for the Bo's Mansion all day long. This time you must discipline him well and let him remember it.
Jiang Ancheng was unhappy when he heard this.
It is true that the little beast often causes trouble, but we should put each matter into context and not make a muddle.
"Mother, Zhan'er was implicated in this matter. He was asked by the Young Master of the Yang Family to go boating. Fortunately, nothing happened to him. It can't be that just because the Young Master of the Yang Family died and Zhan'er was fine, it all became Zhan'er's fault, right? If the Minister of Rites' Mansion is at odds with the Bo's Mansion because of this, they are mentally ill!"
Old Madam Feng was so frustrated by Jiang Ancheng's words that she angrily said, "You are still protecting him at this time! Why didn't Cang'er go swimming in the Jinshui River? In the final analysis, it's still his own fault!"
Jiang Si replied calmly, "Grandmother, my second brother was asked by the young master of the Yang family to go swimming in the river. If he didn't go, wouldn't he have offended those people? I have said it before, good people will be rewarded, and evil people will be punished by heaven. Now my second brother is fine, which shows that he is a good person."
Her words made the corners of the mouths of those present twitch.
The fourth girl is really bold to say that the second young master survived the disaster because he is a good person, so isn’t the young master of the Yang family a wicked person who will be punished by heaven?
Those who felt that they were led astray by the fourth lady shook their heads unconsciously, but when they thought about how the fourth lady had said this before the second young master was found, they could not help but be stunned. Especially the second wife, Xiao, looked at Jiang Si with a hint of deep thought.
Is this a coincidence? Or does this little kid have some unknown abilities?
No, no, what ability can a little girl who has just reached the age of marriage have? This must be her illusion.
"The adults are saying that a little girl like you shouldn't get involved," Old Lady Feng said indifferently.
The prince of Yongchang had to observe mourning for three years, and it was still hard to predict what would happen after that. Seeing that Jiang was not someone who knew how to seize opportunities, Mrs. Feng's regard for her faded again.
To Mrs. Feng, the young people who were not valued naturally had no right to speak.
Jiang Si smiled when he heard that, but Si didn't care at all.
Only bad words spoken by people who care about you can hurt you, but bad words spoken by people who don’t care about you are no different from farts to her.
Jiang Si didn't care, but Jiang Ancheng didn't care. He frowned and said, "I think what Si'er said makes more sense than what many adults say."
He turned around and attacked Old Master Jiang Er directly: "What do you mean by saying this, my second brother? The Minister of Rites' Mansion has a higher status than our Earl's Mansion, so it makes sense that they would be angry at the Earl's Mansion when someone died in their family? Humph, it's obviously their narrow-mindedness, using their power to bully others. My second brother should have walked away when he was ignored there, instead of coming back to attack his own juniors. You have read the books of sages for so many years, have you lost your integrity?"
Humph, since the mother is acting like an elder and looking down on the young lady, then he will act like an elder brother and scold the second brother. After all, the eldest brother is like a father, so even the mother can't say anything.
Mr. Jiang's handsome face turned purple.
He actually forgot that his eldest brother had always been a firecracker. When their father was still alive and they were still young, his eldest brother was beaten many times.
Speaking of which, Jiang Zhan is exactly like his father!
Being scolded by Jiang Ancheng in front of so many people, Jiang Er Laoye couldn't save face and said angrily: "Brother, what you said is wrong. The son of the Minister of Rites is gone. Do I have to make a scene at his house just because I am ignored? This is not the mind and bearing of a gentleman!"
Jiang Ancheng sneered: "In the final analysis, it's because the threshold of the Minister of Rites' Mansion is too high!"
The second master Jiang was so angry that he started to talk without thinking: "Isn't it true that the threshold of the Minister of Rites' Mansion is higher than that of the Uncle's Mansion? Big brother doesn't care about the future of the Uncle's Mansion, but I still have to think about the future of the younger generation."
His eldest brother was a good-for-nothing who was ignorant of current affairs. Just because he was born two years earlier, he inherited the title of the Earl, but he had no intention of bringing honor to the family or passing the title down for a long time.
"No flower stays in bloom forever, and no person stays happy forever. Second uncle, you see that the threshold of the Minister of Rites' Mansion is high, and maybe it will not be as good as our Earl's Mansion in the future." The girl's cold voice sounded.
Her words stunned everyone.
Madam Feng's face darkened: "Fourth girl, do you have any manners at all? You are talking nonsense!"
Jiang Si stood up and bowed to Old Madam Feng: "Grandma, please don't mind my nonsense. I'm leaving now."
She walked out of the gate of Ci Xin Hall, let out a long breath, and waited for a while before she saw Jiang Ancheng coming out.
Seeing Jiang Si waiting here, Jiang Ancheng showed a gentle smile: "Si'er, are you waiting for me?"
Jiang Si nodded and asked, "Father and my second brother went to Shuntian Prefecture together, why did only father come back?"
Jiang Si is very clear about Zhen Shicheng's abilities, and therefore pays close attention to the progress of the case.
"Well, we went to your second brother's savior's place, and your second brother stayed when I left."
Jiang seemed a little surprised, but said calmly, "So that's how it is."
Jiang Ancheng suddenly sighed: "Your second brother finally made a reliable friend. If he interacts with young people like Xiaoyu more in the future, I will feel relieved."
Xiaoyu? ?
The image of that man's eyes with a faint smile suddenly flashed through Jiang Si's mind.
He would be very proud if he heard such comments from his father.
No, being able to coax people is his specialty. If my father came twice more, he might sell his daughter.
A clear cough sounded: "Si'er, Xiaoyu, you have seen it before, at the Yongchang Earl's Mansion. Do you still remember it?"
There was a big dog next to Xiao Yu, and logically his daughter should have been impressed.
"remember."
"Ahem, what do you think of Xiaoyu?" Jiang Ancheng felt that the groundwork had been laid, so he asked the question in a way that he thought was inconspicuous.
Jiang Si's face twisted instantly.
She overestimated her father's moral integrity. This was only his first visit!
"I don't know, and I have no interest in knowing my second brother's friends. Father, I'm going back to my room first."
Seeing his daughter walking away quickly, Jiang Ancheng shouted from behind: "Hey, Si'er, Xiao Yu is different from your second brother's bad friends——"
Jiang Si rolled his eyes silently.
Of course it’s different. My second brother’s friends are not capable of fooling my father around.
When we returned to Haitangju, Ah Man came over.
"Did Lao Qin deal with the boat?"
