Chapter 108 Brothers and Sisters
Her throat choked for a moment, and through her nephew's familiar eyes and brows, she seemed to see again the lively scene of her childhood playing with her brothers and sisters.
"Auntie has handed it over to you, Hui'er. You must lead our Xu family and keep going."
I don't dare to expect more, I just hope that this child can be down-to-earth and walk his future path well, and carry on the Xu family legacy.
"Yes, nephew will remember my aunt's teachings. One day, I will make the Xu family's name famous again!"
Raising his hand to touch the clan emblem on the jade plaque on his chest, the young boy's eyes were particularly energetic. Jiang Wan felt that it must be something called ambition.
She tried to recall the ending of her cousin in the original book. It seemed that he was killed by people sent by the Zhao family. However, it was not clear whether he was alive or dead. It only said that the counselors around the King of Qi were dealt with before they could take action against him.
I think if this person had not logged off, Li Laosi would not have fallen into the sinkhole dug by Li Laoliu.
But now, she smiled smugly.
That bastard Li Laoliu was completely wiped out in this lifetime, and the Zhao family was tricked several times by the emperor before being driven out of the capital. If they wanted to make a name for themselves again, it would probably be difficult without the accumulation of several generations.
There are no more obstacles in this life. It all depends on how high this last hope of the Xu family can climb.
Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.
Xu Hui noticed that his cousin was staring at him as if he was looking at something curious. He nodded politely and smiled back, but he couldn't help but feel a little startled in his heart.
Could it be that this girl is attracted by my beauty and has set her eyes on a handsome and elegant scholar like me?
no!
I heard that she was betrothed to the Fourth Prince and would be the biggest support behind the Xu family in the future. I still needed her help to build my career, so how could I let a mere childish affection ruin my future?
If there is no one in your heart, the Tao will naturally prevail.
Xu Hui turned his eyes to his little cousin, and suddenly felt that Jiang Yaozu's dressing style seemed to suit him very well.
"Cousin, what's wrong?"
The good thing about children with a broad mind is that they can get along with everyone.
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that you, my cousin, are a very nice person, and we get along quite well."
"Hehehe, cousin, you really know what you're talking about."
Jiang Lao San raised his eyebrows and laughed proudly, and the psychological damage he had just suffered from his two sisters quickly healed.
"Come on, cousin, let's go talk over there."
"Cousin, please."
Xu Hui suddenly hit it off with his cousin and quickly fled. Jiang Han looked at the figure who hurriedly dodged to the side in surprise, and whispered to her sister with a hint of curiosity.
"Sister, this cousin from the Xu family doesn't seem very smart."
"How did you tell that?"
People are so smart that they are almost crazy, okay?
Jiang Wan looked at his sister speechlessly. It turned out that his second sister had always had no taste in judging people.
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
Jiang Han curled his lips with reason.
"How smart can someone who can hang out with Jiang Lao San be? Nine out of ten times, he's just as clueless as that idiot Jiang Lao San."
Good, the case is solved. In the eyes of this little girl, anyone who can play with her brother is a bunch of like-minded fools.
"Okay, put away your unusual intelligence and talent."
Jiang Wan looked at his mother and aunt who were sitting on the side reminiscing about the past, raised his hand, pulled his sister's ear and whispered a few words to her.
"I'm just warning you once, remember this. Our cousin is a very smart man, so you need to know how to get along with him from now on."
Jiang Han blinked his eyes, looked at his cousin who was making his silly third child so happy, thought for a few moments, and nodded obediently.
"I see."
Although she was not sure what the deep meaning of her sister's advice was, she understood clearly that she must treat her cousin from the Xu family with caution in the future.
Because the matter of recognizing relatives came into the picture halfway through, Xu's plan to stay in Kaifu Temple for two days after the ritual had to be put on hold.
After working diligently for a whole day, everyone packed up and went home the next day.
The weather suddenly changed and it started to drizzle, making the road slippery and difficult to travel on. Especially since the mistress of the Jiang family was pregnant, the carriage had to be driven more carefully.
In fact, this winter has just passed not long ago. To be honest, it is still quite cold in the morning and evening, but it still cannot stop many people from coming out to burn incense and pray.
The Jiang family's carriage had just turned out of the small road outside the mountain gate of Kaifu Temple and had not gone far when they saw two carriages parked in the distance.
“Ouch!”
The groom stopped the horses and reported respectfully.
"Miss, there's a carriage blocking the road ahead. It looks like the wheels are probably stuck in the mud."
Jiang Wan opened the car door and looked forward. Several maids were pushing a cart in the rain.
"Sister, what's going on?"
Jiang Han also stuck his head out to join in the fun.
"Nothing, I'll go down and check on you. Sit still."
"I'll go check it out too!"
"What are you looking at? It's raining outside, aren't you? You'll get soaked and catch a cold. I wonder if you'll even watch this excitement! Just stay in the car."
"oh."
Hearing his sister's change of tone, Jiang Er was forced to behave himself. Jiang Wan pulled out an oil-paper umbrella from the carriage, opened it, and walked to the back, standing next to his mother's carriage.
"mother."
Hearing the sound, Xu opened the door.
"What's wrong, Wanjie? Why did you stop in front?"
"It seems someone's carriage is stuck in the mud ahead, blocking our way. My daughter came to tell you and will go over to take a look now."
Xu quickly turned her body and looked ahead, and sure enough, there was a carriage parked there. The mountain road was narrow and difficult to pass, and there was indeed not enough space for two carriages to travel side by side.
"Just go back and ask the third brother to come over and take a look. Why are you going there yourself? It's raining in spring now, what if you catch a cold? I'll send someone to call the third brother, and you hurry back to the carriage."
"No need, mother. The third child is just a little kid and might not understand what's going on. I'll just go over and take a look. Isn't he holding an umbrella? It's okay."
After comforting her mother, she nodded politely to her aunt, then turned around, picked up her skirt and left. She was as straightforward as her words, never dragging her feet.
Jiang looked at her niece's receding back and sighed unconsciously.
"This child really looks like Sister Jin, both in appearance and temperament."
"yes."
Mrs. Xu nodded, and it was not difficult to hear that there was a lot of relief in her voice.
"Wanjie'er's character is even stronger than my sister's. She's quite responsible, just like a man."
Speaking of the sister-in-law who was famous in the capital at that time, Jiang actually didn't know what she should think.
