Chapter 109 Can You Pity Me?

Within two days, the Xie family and the Lan family led Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the palace.

Because Empress Ji had already sent someone to greet the guards at the gate of the palace, they arranged for the palace staff to take them to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.

Yun Fenghuang cleared the scene ahead of time, and as soon as the mother and daughter met each other, both of them burst into tears—Yun Fenghuang's eyes were hazy with tears, but he still didn't forget to quickly sweep behind Jiang, and saw Qingdu, a big maid who was crying with her, Slightly disappointed, she expected to match up with this mother-in-law the four personal palace maids.

But after thinking about it, Qingdu can actually stand up to a lot of ordinary maids, after all, he is one of Jiang's most capable Qing descendants.

Qing is the special word for Jiang's first-class maids. No matter what they were called before, they will add the word "Qing" when they are promoted. There are six in this generation, headed by Qingqin, Qingren, Qingshang, Qingping, Qingwu and Qingdu.

This time when the Jiang family is traveling far away, it is absolutely impossible to bring everyone out. It is necessary to leave some helpers to sit in the town, lest someone in the clan make troubles while she is not around.

Therefore, it is impossible for six people to come together. It is good to be able to see the Qing capital here. After all, entering the palace with Jiang's current status and following Xie's and Lan's, it is impossible to make a big fight. Maybe there are still a few in Xie's family. The Qing generation... Yun Fenghuang comforted himself in this way in his heart, calmed down his emotions, and asked everyone to sit down and talk.

"It's grown a lot taller, and the eyebrows and eyes are opened, but it looks more like your father." Jiang Shi was persuaded by Xie Shi and Lan Shi to help him sit down, and Nian Xuan made tea. Her words made everyone cry again. "It's a pity that your father is not here, so I can't see it."

"The fourth sister-in-law is the same when she sees it. I will tell the fourth brother later that he will be happy." Xie choked up to comfort her sister-in-law, and tried to ease her heart, "Our Feng Huang was promoted again two days ago. It's Zhaoyi, so it can be seen that this child is likable, even the nobles in the palace are no exception."

Jiang said sadly: "Our small family, when did we expect her to have such good luck? Originally, you wrote me a letter at the beginning of the year, and I figured that if we get married at the end of the year, at this time next year or the year after, even her It's inconvenient to go back, I can also ask someone to come and see her and her grandson and granddaughter, who knows..."

Xie Shi and Lan Shi immediately lost their guilty conscience and embarrassment.

After all, everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the new Jin Zhaoyi could not give birth.

"Sister, don't worry too much, I'm not blaming you, I just feel sorry for the child." Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang wiped the corners of her eyes, turned her head and said to Mrs. Xie, "You know, I've been married to your fourth brother all these years, son There are quite a few daughters, there are only two daughters, and that one is gone. Although this one is still there by luck, it is in this deep palace. I saw her now, and I don’t know where I will meet next time... ...I am also at this age, what else do I think about besides thinking about my children? Although my son and grandson have no outstanding talents, at least they have the support of the family, and life can always go on, it is the daughter..."

She couldn't help crying, "What sin did our husband and wife do in the previous life? Why is there no peace of mind for one or two of our daughters?!"

What Xie said was both guilty and sad, and there was another cry in the hall. In the end, Yun Fenghuang went down in person, doing good and evil, and persuaded the group of people.

Nian Xuan came up again to exchange a round of tea, and the two parties calmed down their emotional conversation.

Xiao Chen, the daughter-in-law who accompanied Jiang into the palace, came up to greet him. She is the wife of Yun Fenghuang's second brother Xie Xiliu, and the cousin of Qi Jiulu's mother, Chen.

Because of the age gap between the two brothers and sisters, they entered the door early. When Yun Fenghuang left Beidi, this sister-in-law had already given birth to two sons and a daughter.

At this moment when Jiang shi mentioned it, Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, and casually asked how his second brother and his three nephews and nieces were doing.

In the past, when Yun Fenghuang was at home, he had a good relationship with his sisters-in-law. After all, with a mother-in-law like the Jiang family, the big family is well organized, let alone the daughter-in-laws under him?

Even if my sister-in-law has a weird temper, Xiao Chen and the others dare not neglect her.

Moreover, Xie Fenghuan has a gentle and demure temperament, which is the best way to get along with her; in comparison, Yun Fenghuang is certainly a bit savage, and she once had trouble with Xie Fenghuan, but her main purpose is to compete for maternal love. She is very flattering and naturally treats each other with courtesy, so the aunt and sister-in-law have always been harmonious.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen replied with a smile on her face, and took out a small package from her bosom. After opening it, there were two big characters and a small purse, which she said was a gift from her children to her aunt.

"Meng'er only left when I left home. Can I embroider a purse for my aunt now?" Yun Fenghuang asked Nian Xuan to take it, and after looking at it in his hand, he felt emotional, "A few nieces She is the one who resembles me the most, don't know if she still looks like me now?"

Her second brother, the first daughter, was much lighter than ordinary babies when she was born. In order to prevent her from being unable to support her, she was given the nickname "Meng'er" to suppress her.

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "But it looks more like before—it's not that the minister is boasting, this child must be a rare beauty when he grows up!"

These words are actually tantamount to euphemistically praising Yun Feng Huang's beauty.

Xie Shi and the others nodded in agreement.

Yun Fenghuang was valued very much when she was at home, now that she has entered the palace and became a concubine, Xie naturally dare not be indifferent. Mrs. Chen not only brought gifts for her own children, but also sent wishes to the children of her sister-in-law. There are all kinds of piles, most of which are daily schoolwork, such as copying scriptures for praying for blessings, and needlework for female red needles.

However, there are also a few who don't know if they are the elders' off-site guidance, who are extra attentive.

At this moment, the aunt took out a rosewood hairpin. The hairpin was carved in the shape of bamboo joints, and the head of the hairpin was a blooming hibiscus flower. Although the carving work is average, it can be seen that the person who made it tried their best.

Yun Fenghuang smiled and asked, "Who did this?"

Little Chen looked at it, and felt a little regretful that the gift that attracted the sister-in-law's attention was not prepared by her own children, but she still pursed her lips and explained, "It's Xi'er from the elder brother's family."

"Him?" Yun Fenghuang was slightly startled when he heard the words, and immediately put the hairpin into his hair with a broken smile, "This kid...he is only eleven years old, right? He's so lovable. When we discuss marriage in the future, mother, you But watch out, don't tell him to wander around outside, when a group of girls come to the door, you will still have a headache!"

Jiang shi lightly reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense! Xi'er is full of filial piety, but your aunt doesn't appreciate it. I won't ask him to treat you better next time."

Because Mrs. Chen was present, Mrs. Jiang asked her to look at the purse embroidered by Xie Menger again, "It's much better than when you were your age."

"That's the best way." Yun Fenghuang tied it on himself casually, and said, "One generation is better than the next, isn't it?"

Little Chen hurriedly said: "How can I compare with the empress? If she learns that the empress is half smart in the future, the minister's wife will be satisfied."

After such a homely routine, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and even Xie and Lan dared to laugh and make fun of it.

It's just that Yun Fenghuang was calculating the time in his mind, and after a while, he took an opportunity to ask Nian Xuan to take a group of people to sit in the side hall, leaving Jiang alone to talk.

"Mother, you don't know how hard my daughter is living these days..." There were only mother and daughter left in the room, and Yun Fenghuang immediately wiped away her tears and began to cry in accordance with the principle of being the first to win, but Jiang sat motionless, He picked up some tea and ate it by himself, with an expression of indifference.

She couldn't cry anymore, wiped her tears, and asked aggressively: "Mom! Don't you love me anymore?! Didn't you say that after my sister is gone, I will be your only daughter, and I will be your heart?! Could it be that the past two years My nieces have grown up one after another, so my daughter is irrelevant?!"

"I want to love you with all my heart and soul, but you don't love yourself, what can I do?" Jiang Shi listened, just sneered, and looked at her daughter sharply, "How did you get into the palace yourself? Don't know?!"

At first, Yun Fenghuang thought that his mother had found out that he had lied to Mrs. Xie in private, but when he heard this, he was relieved, and said firmly, "Mother, where did you hear all this nonsense? I was forced to enter the palace. You didn’t know that the Duke’s Mansion was cheated! That day my aunt’s family went to the Duke’s Mansion to congratulate me, and I stayed in the back house alone. Suddenly, my aunt came back crying to report the news to me. It’s bad! Before this, I didn’t know about it at all, and after that... After that, Yizhi came down! What can I do?!”

As she spoke, her grievances welled up, and she began to wipe her tears again, "You still say that! I think you really only care about your brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nephews who are right in front of you, and you don't care about my daughter at all!"

The flesh and blood reunited after a long absence, and the appearance of mourning and complaining is extremely pitiful, but any mother with a bit of humanity is crying uncontrollably for a long time, so she has to step forward to hug her daughter and feel sorry for her.

But Jiang's did not.

Not only did she not shed a single tear, but she still had the leisure to continue eating tea, devoting herself to eating a whole piece of lotus flower pastry, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe her fingers, and then said leisurely, "You can't help it? I'll be with your aunt Cousin sister-in-law and the others have already talked about it. At that time, Yizhi came down, but it didn't mean that you entered the palace immediately! As a concubine, someone will be sent to teach you the rules! If you have such a long stay, you can tell me again Once again, you can't do it?!"

"I..." Yun Fenghuang just opened his mouth, and Jiang suddenly slapped the table: "To tell the truth!!!"

Yun Fenghuang was shocked for a moment, and immediately recalled the whisk that her mother drew down when she was a demon—her originally upright voice was lowered by eight tones, and she said weakly: "...I, I don't go out of two doors. What can you do for a poor woman in the deep house?"

"Clang!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang grabbed the tea bowl and threw it in front of her!

Yun Fenghuang stood up in fright, and quickly hid behind the chair, grasping the back of the chair with both hands, as if the Jiang family would lift up the chair as a shield if he came up to beat him.

...but this time Jiang did not move.

She was dazed for a while, and bit her lips in frustration, that's right, I am already Zhaoyi, and my mother can't hit me casually...

So what is she running for!

Yun Fenghuang observed Jiang Shi for a while, seeing that she just looked at him disappointedly, and didn't intend to roll up her sleeves, so she slowly returned to her seat, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, I'm already this old!"

I don't want to lose face, do I?

"When you were six years old, someone instigated you to compete with your sister for favor." Jiang looked at her expressionlessly, without the slightest emotion in his eyes, but his voice could not control the sound of tears, "I knew you would take advantage of your sister's dressing up." From time to time, I went up to ask for the hairpin... Your sister loved you so much, she agreed immediately, and even gave it to you with her own hands, but you deliberately bumped the back of your hand, causing the hairpin to scratch the wound that could barely see blood, and ran to look for me crying Complain..."

"As long as I am confused, I don't say that I suspect that your sister is harsh on you, at least I should blame her for not being careful and not taking good care of you!"

"You are fifteen this year. Don't tell me that after hearing your aunt's news about entering the palace, you would never expect to make a few accidents while learning the rules and prevent yourself from entering the palace!"

Yun Fenghuang: "..."

She pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Your aunt told me that she told you clearly how difficult it is for a girl from our family to live in the harem today." Jiang's face still didn't fluctuate at all, only two lines of tears slowly rolled down , she said sadly, "Why do you still enter this dirty place at the mercy of others? The child I raised with my own hands will never have a shallow eyelid and think that just a few colors can dream of pampering the Six Palaces! "

"You can't bear to hurt your aunt's family?!"

"But why?!"

"Yes, back then your aunt was willing to take you to the Imperial Capital to get married, and I was very grateful to her for my mother-but the benefits we have given to their family have been less in these years?!"

"Even if you think that her thoughts on you in the past three years cannot be offset by mere wealth—"

"But this favor should also be repaid by us as elders!"

"If you want to be an ox or a horse, you have to tie a grass ring, even if you have to kill and cut, it should be me and your father!!!"

"You are the biological daughter of me and your father, and it is only natural for me and your father to work hard for your future!"

"We're not dead yet, so why are you rushing ahead?!"

"When I sent you off back then, if I told you repeatedly, did you take it to heart?!"

As if all his strength had been drained, Jiang slumped on his seat and murmured in a daze, "You are the most important thing when you come to the Imperial Capital. It is best to marry a good family. If it is not possible, you can give it to me as a mother." You can think of another way... In the end, no matter what my child becomes or falls into, it is my heart and soul... and must not be trampled by others..."

"I don't think I've ever underestimated a girl, after all, I'm a woman myself."

"Raising you and your older sister is done with all your heart and soul, and the thought you expend is definitely not inferior to those of your brothers!"

"Why are you two so disobedient?"

"Everything is hidden in my heart. I can see that when I asked for clues, he refused to reveal a single word, and kept lying to me with meekness and understanding, so that I didn't know the ins and outs until my reputation was ruined. If you don't hear it, step into this palace gate, you don't know what will happen to you if you are rich today... When you dressed up and entered the palace to be a concubine, did you ever think about me as your mother?!!!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Jiang almost shouted, "Three years ago, I told you again and again that I was the only daughter of you——you can't pity me and let yourself be good?!"
