Chapter 124 Meeting or not
At this time, at the gate of Jiang's courtyard, Tang Li was wearing a blue official uniform and an official hat, and following beside him was his wife, Mrs. Tang.
Behind Mrs. Tang is Yuanshi.
Mrs. Tang was holding a seven-year-old boy by the hand.
The boy looked very much like a Tang official.
Yuan and Chen looked at each other.
Yuanshi was dressed in a light purple brocade with orchids embroidered on it.
Although her temperament was not good, her simple attire and the official couple in front of her instantly made Chen look inferior.
Chen realized that both the Jiang family and the Yuan family were living better than her.
Now Yuanshi is valued by the Jiang family because of the good work of her concubine, and has now left her far behind.
"Oh, so now that you see that the Jiang family is doing well, you also want to come and ask for respect?" Chen's words were full of sarcasm, and she completely forgot why she came.
"......?" Yuan was confused.
She knew that a scholar came from Taoyuan Village, but she also knew that there was more than one family with the surname Jiang in Taoyuan Village.
The reason I came here this time was just to see Wu Ni.
When you get older, you always need to find someone to rely on.
But at the same time, she was afraid that the original Jiang family house would no longer exist.
She was afraid that all the members of the Jiang family would be gone, including her Xiaowu.
But what do Chen's words mean?
"What's so great about being a concubine?" Chen was filled with jealousy. She sneered and vowed never to come to the Jiang family to suffer such trouble again.
No matter what, he is a good son born to Yuanshi.
Now that Yuanshi has returned, and there are officials backing her up, she has lost her position even more. If she doesn't leave, is she going to be humiliated?
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Tang Li were puzzled, but then they thought about something and felt that it was not strange.
Tang Li turned around and glanced at Yuan Shi, "Do you know each other?"
Yuan shook his head, "Just a nobody."
Mrs. Tang smiled gently and said, "I'm afraid we met the same fellow countryman as before."
After Chen left, Yuan's proud chest sank instantly.
What's wrong with being a concubine? She was favored in the past and enjoyed a glorious life for several years, didn't she?
But now, she is old and ugly, and is looked down upon.
Then, she looked at the boy in front of her.
"Madam, let me hold Jun'er's hand."
Mrs. Tang's lips twitched and she looked at the boy's face with tenderness.
She had only one daughter, who was injured during childbirth when she was young and had no more children, so she treated this son as her own.
"Jun'er, let your aunt lead you."
"Mom, she is a concubine, I don't want her to hold my hand." After the boy said this, he rubbed his body against the corner of Mrs. Tang's clothes.
A gentle smile reappeared on Mrs. Tang's face.
"Okay, Mom will hold your hand."
Tang Li was watching from the side, "Yuanshi, I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming."
After all, she is just a concubine and is not worthy of being in a formal place.
"It's my fault. I won't do it again." Yuan felt very aggrieved. Her son couldn't call her mother. How sad it was for a mother.
She forced herself to hold back her tears, and at the moment she was just thinking about taking a look at her Xiaowu.
Whenever she thought of Xiaowu, she felt overwhelmed with guilt and thought she was not worthy of being a mother.
Mrs. Tang was gentle and dignified, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, intentionally or unintentionally. The boy beside her held her wrist tightly, with a look of happiness on her face.
"Mom, Dad said that he wanted me to share the good fortune with the nine-year-old top candidate in the court, so that I can pass the exam and become a scholar in the future. When I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you."
"Okay, my good son, when you get promoted and make a fortune in the future, I will be waiting to enjoy a peaceful life." Mrs. Tang still had a kind smile on her face.
The conversation between the mother and son in front deeply hurt Yuan's heart.
"Jun'er, I am your mother."
"Yuanshi, recognize your position." Tang Li's harsh words made Yuanshi feel even more sad and miserable.
"Follow the lady, or you'll be laughed at by the scholar." Tang Li and his wife knocked on the door of the Jiang family.
"Here they come!" Jiang Sini knew immediately that someone had come to celebrate her son's success in high school, so she happily opened the door.
When I opened the door, I saw four unfamiliar faces.
Jiang Sini was only six years old when Yuanshi left. She was always confused and had completely forgotten about Yuanshi.
"Grandma, we have guests."
"Who is it?" Liu Chunfeng was frightened. She and her granddaughters walked closer to greet the visitor.
When he saw Yuan's face clearly, he was filled with fear.
She...she is here.
Jiang Yue's eyes only fixed on Yuanshi for a moment, then he quickly looked away, not wanting to see her.
Yuan's entire body was filled with doubts.
Is this the situation that the Jiang family has?
I’m afraid my ex-mother-in-law has become a servant of this family?
When Liu Chunfeng was checking on Tang Li, Tang Li was also looking at her.
"Grandma Scholar, my surname is Tang. I am a minor official in Qinghe Town. I have come here specially to pay a visit to Scholar Jiang." Tang Li said with a fist salute.
and many more,
"We seem to have met somewhere before, but I can't quite remember."
"I seem to have seen it." Liu Chunfeng's whole body was stiff, and it took him a long time to find his voice. At this moment, his eyes met Yuanshi's, and the latter's mind was in chaos.
Yuanshi: What's going on? Who is the scholar of the Jiang family? Could it be that Erlang is not dead?
Mrs. Tang leaned forward slightly and said, "Meet the scholar's grandmother."
"Madam, please don't do this." Liu Chunfeng bent down and supported Madam Tang with both hands.
The eldest, second, and third sisters of the Jiang family stared at Yuan for a long time.
Finally, the eldest sister said, "She seems to be the mother of Xiaowu and Xiaoliu."
He was also stunned.
I thought to myself, I just sent one away and another one comes?
At the same time, the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister suddenly showed panic in their eyes.
The fourth sister was heartless and just walked towards the youngest child of the Tang family to talk.
"Young master, I have some candied fruit here." After saying that, she handed her the snacks.
"Thank you sister."
The Tang family's little boy was not happy with his aunts, but he always smiled at everyone. When he saw Jiang Sini's pretty eyes, he called her "sister".
Yuanshi felt uncomfortable after listening to this.
Yuan turned her eyes and fixed her gaze on Jiang Wuni, then walked towards her.
"Little five..."
Xiaowu is here, Xiaosi is here, Da Ni, Er Ni, San Ni are here... Could this really be the Jiang family?
How did the Jiang family end up like this? This shouldn't be the case. They were so poor that they could barely survive and were almost selling their granddaughter.
Suddenly, she felt deeply unwilling.
Why is it that the Jiang family is so prosperous while she is living in such a mess?
"Who are you?" Jiang Wuni was confused by what was called and just turned and walked towards Liu Chunfeng.
"Grandma, do you know her?"
"..." Liu Chunfeng felt mixed emotions and just shook her head.
Yuan's heart was broken.
"Mother..." Yuan Shi called out to her mother, but Liu Chunfeng did not respond and hurriedly shook her head again.
"got the wrong person."
Tang Li and his wife both had expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
Tang Li: "Yuanshi, is this your original husband's family?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Tang was shocked. If it was really Yuan's son who passed the imperial examination, she would have to walk sideways from now on.
Yuan Shi only looked at Liu Chunfeng's eyes seriously:
"No, I didn't make a mistake. Mother, is it that Erlang has come back? Has he married another wife? Who in the family passed the imperial examination?"
