Chapter 93 The Jiang Family (2)
There were people blocking the way in front, and people chasing after them. More than 20 ducks croaked and flew around, literally spreading their feathers.
Yuxi looked at Jiang Qi who wanted to get angry but could only bear it, this was the first time she had seen Jiang Qi like this, um, it felt quite cool.
The duck was driven back by the two women. Mrs. Jiang looked at the group of beautiful young girls and invited everyone to sit in her yard.
The others were silent, but Yuxi found it very interesting, she had never heard of Mrs. Jiang being such a playful character before, so she ignored Jiang Qi's ugly face and said, "Old lady, won't I bother you? Sister Jiang Qi said you are quiet, so let us not disturb you."
The old lady smiled and said: "It will disturb you there, it's too late if you like it! Let's go, my yard is in front, and we will be there in a few steps."
Jiang Qi glanced at Yu Xi very dissatisfied, if it wasn't for Yu Xi, she would have found an excuse to take everyone away.
Yuxi followed the old lady, so Jiang Qi naturally took the other five people away. Now reluctantly followed along.
Although the old lady said that the road was not far away, everyone still walked for several minutes to arrive. Looking at the clean yard, Yu Xi looked left and right but didn't see any ducks.
Seeing this, the old lady smiled and said: "The ducks are in the back! The servant girl didn't close the door just now, so they let them run out. If you want to see it, I will take you there."
The place where the old lady lives is the largest yard of the Jiang family, and she also has a small backyard. The old lady organized three plots of land in the backyard. Vegetables were planted in these three plots, which were very green and very gratifying. And the duck that made a lot of duck feathers just now was locked under the corner on the right.
Yu Xi thought it was very interesting, and said with a smile: "The old lady is amazing, she grows vegetables so well." She thought that she had planted medicinal materials for five years in Rose Garden, but the backyard was still in depression. Originally, Yuxi wanted to wait for someone to sort out the Rose Garden, so she razed it to the ground before continuing to plant herbs, but she was always busy and had no time to do that. Of course, it was mainly because Yuxi felt that reading books was more useful than growing herbs.
The old lady smiled so much that there were several creases on her face: "Old man, I'm so tired that I can't straighten my waist just by growing these few pieces of vegetables. I used to work in the fields for a whole day, and after I slept, I had nothing to do. "It was rare to meet such an interesting little girl, and the old lady couldn't help but say a few more words.
Yurong exclaimed: "The old lady still works in the fields?" Isn't that what servants do? Why does the old lady of the Jiang family know how to do servant work.
If there was a hole in the ground, Jiang Qi wished he could get in.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Qi's shy and indignant expression, sighed slightly in her heart, and said with a smile on her face, "I grow vegetables to exercise my muscles and bones. When I get old, my arms and legs will become stiff if I don't move." Mrs. Jiang She never hides her origin, because she doesn't think there is anything to hide. What happened to the peasant girl? There is nothing to be ashamed of not stealing or stealing to support oneself by one's own ability. But the granddaughter wants to save face, so she can't embarrass her granddaughter in front of everyone.
Mrs. Jiang hated Yu Shi very much, not to mention that Yu Shi wanted to murder her eldest grandson, but the two children that Yu Shi taught, she was so tired and panicked. Hong Jin's child was deep-minded at a young age, while Jiang Qi was competitive and narrow-minded. In addition, the two children still look down on her origin. Mrs. Jiang doesn't mind her background, but she minds how the two children treat her. Since coming to the capital, the two children have been very alienated from her. They look like grandparents, not even strangers. So every time she sees Yu's smiling face, she gets angry. If it wasn't for her grandson, she wouldn't want to stay in the capital for a day. Thinking how comfortable she was when she was in the south of the Yangtze River, she would suffer as if she was in the capital. It's just that she was worried that Mrs. Yu would harm her eldest grandson again, so she resisted to stay and planned to go back after the eldest grandson got married.
Yuxi smiled and said: "The old lady doesn't look old at all,
And I also want to ask you, old lady, about planting skills! The old lady didn't know that I had planted several herbs in the yard before, but all of them died. "Speaking of the past of planting herbs, it is a bitter tear.
The old lady was very surprised and said: "Have you studied medicine?"
Yu Xi said with a smile: "I learned some pharmacology with my foster mother."
The old lady waved her hand and said: "I am good at growing vegetables, but I am not good at growing herbs. Planting herbs requires a lot, and the habits of herbs and the requirements for soil are very particular. If you really want to learn, you have to find an expert." .”
Yu Xi shook her head and said, "I only planted it because I thought it was interesting, and I didn't even learn from others. Speaking of which, I heard that this dish is picked and fried, and the taste will be particularly good."
Mrs. Jiang nodded her head repeatedly after hearing this, and said, "Your mother-in-law is right. Pick vegetables directly from the ground when cooking, and the taste will be particularly fresh and tender, much more delicious than those bought from outside. If you Don’t dislike it, just eat here at noon.”
Yuxi glanced at Jiang Qi with some embarrassment, then shook her head and said, "It's better not to use it, wait for a chance in the future!"
Jiang Qi really wanted to leave the yard as soon as possible, and said when she saw this, "Sister Yuxi, it's rare that you fall in love with my grandmother, so you stay and talk to my grandmother. I'll take sister Yurong and the others back first, and come back to find her later. you."
Yuxi smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll disturb the old lady." Although the contact time is very short, Yuxi can now be sure that the old lady Jiang's progress from a peasant girl to today is definitely not due to luck, but to rely on herself ability.
The old lady smiled kindly, and said: "Don't bother me, you can stay and talk with me, an old lady, I'm too happy!"
Seeing this, Jiang Qi immediately left the yard with Yu Rong and the others.
The old lady didn't care, she pointed to her three plots and asked, "What kind of food do you want to eat, let the servant girl pick it up and fry it for lunch."
Yuxi smiled and said: "It's boring to let the maids pick too much, if you want to pick it, you can pick it yourself, just pick cabbage and spinach!" Not to mention the medical books, she also read it in the countryside before.
After Mrs. Jiang heard this, she smiled and ordered the maid to bring the basket.
Yuxi took the basket and went to the vegetable field, picked the cabbage first, and twisted off the roots when picking the cabbage. Because of the help of the maid, I quickly picked half of the basket, and then turned to spinach. The spinach is not picked, but pulled out directly, and the soil on the roots is shaken after pulling out.
Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised, seeing Yuxi's skillful hands-on work, she seemed to do these jobs often. It was also at this time that Mrs. Jiang noticed that there were calluses on Yu Xi's hands. Although it was not thick, it was quite surprising that it appeared on the girl of the Duke's Mansion: "Have you often done these things before?"
Yuxi shook her head with a smile and said: "No, I saw tenants doing this when I went to the countryside once."
The old lady nodded again and again, this learning ability is not ordinary strong.
After all the vegetables were picked, Yuxi walked back to the yard with Mrs. Jiang. Just as he was talking, he heard outside that the young master had returned.
Yuxi recognized Jiang Hongfu who walked in at a glance, without him, Jiang Hongfu and Jiang Hongjin were half or half alike in appearance.
What surprised Yuxi was that Jiang Hongfu was followed by a boy. The young man was wearing a purple brocade robe. The brocade robe had no patterns and was very simple. There was only a jasper hairpin inserted between the black hair on his head. The quality of the jade was excellent. Apart from this jasper hairpin, the boy has no other accessories on his body. But when he stood there, no one ignored his existence. The young man was really good-looking, elegant and handsome, Wang Shulinfeng. Such a boy is simply the dream husband of a boudoir girl.
Yu Xi was not restrained, and greeted the two of them: "Cousin, Young Master Chen." The young man dressed in extremely simple clothes was Chen Ran, who Yu Xi met once in Taining Hou Mansion.
Jiang Hongfu was a little surprised by Yuxi's address: "Who are you?"
Yu Xi said generously: "Cousin doesn't remember, I met you and Cousin Yunqing seven years ago on the street, and you gave me red envelopes!"
Because of Yuxi's words, Jiang Hongfu couldn't help but think of his cousin who was far away in the northwest, and felt sad. He knew that his cousin wanted to seek revenge from the Song family, but the Song family was very powerful and supported by two princes, among whom the Ninth Prince was likely to become a great treasure. With his cousin alone, how can he shake the behemoth of the Song family. But he couldn't persuade his cousin not to take revenge. Revenge is the only motivation for his cousin to sustain and become stronger.
Seeing Jiang Hongfu in a daze, Yuxi thought he had forgotten, so she simply reminded: "Cousin, we met several times on the road during the Lantern Festival seven years ago, and Cousin Yunqing saved him that night." Sister Duan is gone. Don’t you even remember your cousin?”
Jiang Hongfu also remembered who the girl in front of him was, the little girl whose face was pinched by his cousin: "It's grown so big, I can't even recognize it." The five-year-old baby has grown into a slim girl now up.
Yuxi has black lines all over her hair, what kind of fuss is this adult tone. If she remembers correctly, Jiang Hongfu is only sixteen years old this year, only four years older than her!
Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "Come in, don't stand in the yard and talk."
After hearing this, Jiang Hongfu stepped forward to help Mrs. Jiang across the threshold and into the house. And because Yu Xi was one step behind, she stood with Chen Ran.
Mrs. Jiang turned her head and just saw the picture of the two standing together, she couldn't help laughing: "It's just right for you two to stand together."
Chen Ran was wearing purple clothes, and Yuxi happened to be wearing a purple dress today, and what was even worse was that her clothes had some dark patterns embroidered on the neckline and sleeve edges, but there was no embroidery on her clothes pattern. Standing next to each other dressed like this, outsiders really look right.
Yu Xi asked herself that she was thick-skinned, but after hearing Mrs. Jiang's words, her face still turned red. When Yuxi took a sneak peek at Chen Ran, and found that his expression did not fluctuate at all as usual, she felt that she was really bad.
After calming down, Yu Xi smiled and said: "Madam, I have been out for a while, I have to pass, or my mother should send someone over to look for me." It doesn't matter if you have two sentences, but it is not suitable if you eat together.
Mrs. Jiang knew that Yuxi's words were all excuses, but she nodded and agreed with a smile, and ordered the maids around her to send Yuxi to the main courtyard.
