Chapter 203 Return to the City
Jiang Anning had a faint smile on her lips, quite envious of the friendly and comfortable relationship between the two of them.
"The relationship between sister-in-law Guicheng and brother Guicheng is really good."
She was really moved.
Sui Ran was even more embarrassed, glared at Jiang Guicheng, raised his hand and hit him twice: It's all your fault! Ask An Ning to read the joke.
Jiang Guicheng chuckled twice, but was not annoyed at all. He shamelessly approached his wife and said, "An Ning said we have a good relationship."
"Go, go, go home quickly, pack up the things that need to be moved here, pack them up and move them here!"
Sui Ran became angry with embarrassment, her whole face was so red that it was about to drip with blood, and she pushed the person outside.
Jiang Guicheng accepted it as soon as he saw it, knowing that his wife was very thin-skinned, and if the trouble continued, she might have to sleep outside at night and watch the stars alone.
When the people left, Sui Ran blushed and said to the people very embarrassed: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is not serious."
Jiang Anning smiled: "Brother Guicheng has a true temperament."
Sui Ran was even more embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law Guicheng, let's clean it up first. There has been a lot of rain recently, and the house may be a little damp. You need to burn the kang to remove the moisture. There is a lot of firewood at home. Don't be reluctant to use it, or you will get sick while sleeping. That’s not worth the loss.”
Jiang Anning gave instructions carefully.
Sui Ran nodded: "I know, don't worry!"
When Aunt Fang came over, Jiang Anning talked to the person for a while and gave the person five taels of silver: "...As for the people in the Zhao family, please ask Aunt to take care of them."
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of everything for you and let them work for you wholeheartedly!"
When Jiang Anning returned to the county seat, it was already dark.
She barely made it in before the gates closed.
-
"This girl, is she really here?"
Mrs. An glanced at Zisu and was surprised: "I thought she would just go down the steps, and everyone tacitly revealed this matter."
"Yes, and I also brought some embroidery pictures over, saying that I would like to ask you to take a look."
Zisu asked softly: "Madam, do you want to see her?"
Mrs. An was silent for a moment while holding the tea cup.
"Then please come in."
She smiled faintly: "It's not good that people come as promised, but we go back on our promises."
Zisu pondered for a moment, then carefully responded: "Yes."
Jiang Anning straightened her clothes a little, purified her face with water, and then followed the others to see Mrs. An.
"Here, sit down."
When Mrs. An saw the person, she smiled very easily.
Jiang Anning thanked her with a smile and got straight to the point: "I embroidered this at home in my spare time. Mrs. An, take a look, is it still eye-catching?"
"My wife's birthday is coming soon. I thought, if these embroidered pictures are still eye-catching, why not just use these ones?"
Mrs. An raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"
"But our original agreement was..."
Jiang Anning interrupted without waiting for anyone to question: "We agreed at the beginning that I would embroider a cat scene based on your beloved cat."
"Since there is an agreement, I will naturally abide by the agreement."
"However, your minimum requirement is at least four screens."
"This picture can't make four screens. Why don't you choose among these pictures?"
"Let's get together in pairs!"
"We have agreed on the remaining painting. You can arrange a place for me. I can start working on it tomorrow."
After Jiang Anning finished speaking, she looked at the person with a slight smile, waiting for the other person to make a decision.
Obviously she didn't say anything harsh, but it gave people a full sense of oppression.
Mrs. An was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud: "So the little girl is waiting for me here?"
She snorted: "I'm just telling you, why are you so leisurely and leisurely, not in any hurry."
He actually used words with her!
It's her fault that she was careless and didn't think too much, so she spent her whole life playing hawk, and finally let the hawk peck her eye!
"What do you think, madam?" Jiang Anning did not deny that she had planned it.
Mrs. An took a sip of tea and looked at the calm Jiang Anning. She was unwilling to be manipulated but what she said was reasonable. She could only pretend not to care and said slowly: "See what you said is serious. If I don't agree, Don’t you want to be called a picky person who is looking for trouble?”
She smiled, with a hint of blame: "I think that's it!"
It was as if he was being forced step by step and had to agree.
Jiang Anning said bluntly: "If Mrs. An feels that my proposal is very embarrassing for you, then it is better to give up."
"Just treat me as a breach of contract."
She stood up and was about to leave: "After all, your wife's birthday is approaching, so I was asked to embroider four pictures immediately, and there is really nothing I can do to help."
"It's my fault that I didn't make it clear to you when I made the agreement with Mrs. An at the beginning."
Jiang Anning smiled: "Now it seems that there has been some misunderstanding."
Mrs. An pursed her lips slightly and looked unhappy.
Isn't this girl's temper too big?
She just hated being treated like this, so she made a fuss about it and didn't say it wasn't allowed. How could she instead be criticized and turned against the guest?
Didn't it mean that this girl lost her father and mother when she was young, has a soft character, and has no temper?
This is called having no temper.
What does it look like to have a temper?
Mrs. An secretly complained in her heart, but she had to say: "How could it be?"
"I think your proposal is very good."
"It was just a joke in the first place, how can it be regarded as a bet or not?"
"We don't want to do such messy things as gambling!"
In one sentence, he actually denied the gambling incident.
Jiang Anning had a faint smile on her lips. She was neither impatient nor impatient, quietly waiting for Mrs. An to say what she wanted to say.
Even Zi Su, who had seen many big scenes, was a little surprised at this moment.
Isn't this girl too patient?
When Mrs. An saw that Jiang Anning didn't answer at all, she guessed that this girl was just a master who wouldn't take the hard way.
She laughed and said, "I'll do as you say. My Xuan Yue's birthday is coming soon. It's hard to wait until then. My little sisters, aunts, etc., all of them have prepared something to suit their needs." Gifts and congratulations are given to others, but it is me, a mother-in-law, who is left empty-handed and makes people laugh. ”
"I am really anxious at this time. I just hope you will work hard."
Mrs. An stepped forward in a friendly manner, holding the embroidery pattern Jiang Anning handed her to look at, and earnestly asked for help in coming up with an idea: "...your craftsmanship is good, I just looked at how exquisite each one is. It’s really a bit confusing.”
"Why don't you help me consult with others to see which ones are more suitable?"
"Or, when your new embroidered picture comes out, we can choose three more matching ones based on their appearance?"
Mrs. An had given enough gestures, so Jiang Anning naturally didn't need to take Qiao Er reluctantly.
"Okay."
She softened her tone: "Then wait until the new embroidery pictures come out, and then based on the new embroidery pictures, we can choose three other pictures that are more suitable to match them."
"It's done."
Mrs. An's smile became more kind and kind, and she pretended to hold the person in her arms and talked about household matters for a while.
When the moon rose above the willow trees, Jiang Anning stood up to say goodbye. Mrs. An politely stayed and stayed again. Jiang Anning made an excuse that she had been back in the village for a few days and wanted to see Sister Song. She also wanted to go back to Chaohuang Embroidery Square to prepare and tidy up. , the two parted with "the host and the guest having a good time".
Zi Su respectfully and humbly sent the person to the gate, and specially arranged a carriage to send the person back to Chaohuang Embroidery Square.
When the carriage turned slowly and was far out of sight, she darkened her face and turned back to the inner courtyard. Mrs. An rubbed her forehead with a tired look: "Send away?"
Zisu knelt down and replied: "We arranged a carriage for our house and went to deliver it in person."
Mrs. An hummed and said nothing.
Zisu's tone was a bit unpleasant, and she looked very aggrieved: "Madam, why did you indulge her so easily just now?"
"Obviously it was her who used words to get us together, but why does it seem like we have wronged her?"
Mrs. An snorted lightly: "What a big deal, it's worth getting so angry."
"Madam, aren't you angry?" Zisu didn't understand.
In her opinion, Jiang Anning was just a little embroiderer. She had an unworthy background and a humble body. How could she dare to challenge her in front of their wife?
"What's there to be angry about?"
Mrs. An recalled Jiang Anning's faint smile, which looked soft and amiable, but in fact refused to eat oil and salt, and did not eat hard or soft food. For the first time, she felt that Jiang'an County was really interesting.
"She didn't say anything wrong. The only fault is our own negligence. We didn't expect this, so we were caught and made a joke."
She hummed and smiled: "Besides, didn't we also stab her with words first?"
"Isn't it reasonable and reasonable for someone to reciprocate a courtesy and retaliate with words?"
"What's there to be angry about?"
Mrs. An said earnestly and sincerely: "You, don't be too domineering. We are only allowed to talk about others, and others are not allowed to talk about us. That will arouse people's rebellious psychology."
"As a little embroiderer, even if she gets a few words..." So what?
Before Zi Su finished speaking, Mrs. An glared at her and interrupted with a sneer: "So what if it's Xiu Niang?"
"Do you still think you are a noble person?"
"If we really talk about our status, you and I are just the family members of the guilty minister. Thanks to God's great grace, we have taken such a life and survived in this world."
"How much more noble than others?"
"She's not even as good as a little embroiderer."
Zisu's face instantly turned pale, and she knelt down with a plop: "Madam, I didn't mean this. I, I made a mistake."
Under Mrs. An's cold eyes, she could not utter any words of defense. She could only tremble and admit her mistake with a trembling heart.
Mrs. An snorted coldly: "Get up."
"Next time if it doesn't matter, don't say it outside."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being inconsiderate."
Zisu responded "Yes" with tears in her eyes.
Mrs. An stared at the darkness outside the courtyard, wondering what she was thinking.
Only after a while did he murmur to himself: "This girl also has a temper."
"I'm afraid Wang Shang and the others were deceived by this girl's innocent appearance."
She snorted: "It seems that the lively days of Jiang'an County are still to come."
Zi Su wanted to ask, "Why did the madam say that?", but she was afraid of making a mistake and did not dare to speak.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. An took the initiative to look over and asked her: "You are that girl, why did your attitude change so quickly just now, and you seemed to be unwilling to give in?"
"Why?" Zisu was puzzled.
She just felt that Jiang Anning was too arrogant.
I really don’t have the inferiority complex of a small person.
"She's testing." Mrs. An sneered.
Zi Su was puzzled: "Testing?"
"She's testing the bottom line of people like us."
Mrs. An smiled inexplicably: "I guess this girl may be silent and holding back some bad water."
"A country girl with no power to control a chicken, what evil can she do?"
Zi Su thought it was unlikely that his wife might think too highly of Jiang Anning, a little embroiderer.
"Of course..."
Mrs. An deliberately lengthened her voice, with high spirits and faint excitement: "Avenge her parents!"
"Huh?"
Zisu was shocked: "Avenge her parents? Isn't that..."
Want to make enemies of them?
"Madam, do you think too highly of her?"
"Not to mention whether she, a wild girl from the countryside, has this ability, is the cause of her parents' death..."
Zi Su lowered her voice: "It was very secretive at first, how could she know?"
"I wonder what's important?"
Mrs. An smiled nonchalantly: "I don't know who actually moved the hands and who gave the order. How can I not know who was involved and who extended their hands and feet?"
Zi Su opened her eyes and was shocked. After a while, she said uncertainly: "Madam, are you referring to...Duan Qingshan?"
"Maybe it's him."
Mrs. An said something specious.
Zi Su was even more puzzled: "It's possible that Duan Qingshan leaked the secret today, so why didn't we do it in the first place?"
She made a gesture of wiping her neck.
If those who know the secret cannot be used for their own purposes, shouldn't they be killed to avoid getting into trouble?
"Why bother?"
Mrs. An smiled: "Wouldn't it be more interesting to see them fighting openly and secretly, suspicious of each other, and all kinds of tricks behind their backs, making a mess of porridge?"
Zisu blinked, not knowing how to answer the question for a moment.
What’s even more confusing is that her wife isn’t the one from the Sentai Palace?
Why does it sound like he wants to stir up trouble now?
Mrs. An didn't care what her eldest maid thought, she looked excited, just looking forward to seeing a great show.
-
Jiang Anning returned to Chaohuang Embroidery Square and saw no one, so she went directly to the medical clinic.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xie Yutong pulling abacus beads behind the counter.
"Teacher."
She walked over and called out honestly.
Xie Yutong didn't even raise his eyes, and said lightly: "Are you willing to come back?"
Jiang Anning hurried over and said a lot of nice words to make people happy.
Xie Yutong snorted and pushed the person away: "I don't want your glib words. Don't pretend to be good like me."
"Oh."
Jiang Anning stepped aside as if pitifully, and as expected, she became obedient and stopped talking.
After a while, she didn't hear Xie Yutong speak, so she could only take the initiative to ask about Song Yao's situation.
"It's still the same. It's unlikely that you'll wake up, so don't have too much hope."
Xie Yutong was as straightforward as ever.
Jiang Anning was slightly embarrassed, always feeling that the teacher was angry with her.
However, she really didn't know where she offended someone.
When I think of Song Yao again, I feel even more sad and sad.
