"Why wait? This time is an opportunity. After uncle Mingxuan finishes his work, let me go back to Xiangyang with my uncle."
As soon as this word came out, ye Shijie and ye Mingxuan were stunned together. Tong'er also widened her eyes.
After a long time, ye Mingxuan asked suspiciously, "did you just say that you want to return to Xiangyang with me?"
"Yes." Jiang Lishuang quickly replied, "I haven't seen my grandmother and uncles for many years. I was young and didn't understand and made many mistakes. Later, I learned that I regretted it, but I didn't have the opportunity to apologize in person. Now that my uncle has come to Yanjing, he will return to Xiangyang in a few days, which is just an opportunity." She bowed her head slightly apologetically: "I haven't had a chance to be filial to my grandmother. Sometimes I think of it, and I'm often uneasy."
Ye Shijie wanted to sneer subconsciously. This word came out of Jiang Li's mouth, which was really like a joke. You know, Jiang Li didn't look so good to the Ye family who came to pick her up. But if you want to laugh, you'll hear it. Looking at Jiang Li's smiling eyes, ye Shijie can't say anything.
If she is lying, she must be the best liar in the world. Her eyes are sincere, not fake, and even suspicion is an insult.
Ye Mingxuan was stunned and speechless.
Ye Mingxuan does business all the year round. Among the three sons of the Ye family, he is the shrewdest and the most thoughtful. Therefore, unlike Ye Shijie, ye Shijie didn't realize that he had unconsciously begun to talk about Jiang Li as his own recognition, and also invisibly recognized the change of Jiang Li. Ye Mingxuan firmly believes that a person's nature will not change easily.
What's more, even if the young Jiang Li was bewitched to alienate the Ye family, for many years after the Ye family left, how could the people behind not strike while the iron was hot and bewitch Jiang Li all the time. Jiang Li's sudden awakening is unreasonable.
Jiang Li I saw today is really different from what I remember. Regardless of temperament and conversation, Jiang Li is the best among the expensive women in Yanjing city. As for the sudden kindness to Ye family, ye Mingxuan didn't dare to draw a conclusion easily. Thinking that either Jiang family or Jiang Yuanbai inspired it, or Jiang Li had another plan. Who can't be friendly on the surface?
But ye Mingxuan didn't understand when he suddenly proposed to return to Xiangyang.
For one thing, although the Ye family is a home of great wealth, Xiangyang can never be compared with the prosperity of Yanjing city. And all the way, a spoiled young lady can really stand it? On the other hand, if the matter is inspired by Jiang Yuanbai or the Jiang family, what's the advantage of letting Jiang Li go back to Ye's family. You know, Jiang Li can't lift any storm alone in the Ye family, but she is weak. Can't do bad things and simply please the Ye family? Can the Jiang family offend?
"Uncle, don't think so much," Jiang Li said with a smile, "I'm just going back to see my grandmother, that's all." As if she could see ye Mingxuan's thoughts, Jiang Li suddenly said.
Suddenly, ye Mingxuan was poked into the center, and there was no embarrassment on his face. Instead, he instantly laughed and said, "I want to know that the road back to Xiangyang is long and high. How can you stand it, a little girl?"
"Don't forget, uncle. I once lived in an temple for eight years. I have to do it myself to carry water and chop firewood. I'm not so delicate." Jiang Li Dao.
She said frankly, as if she didn't feel it was a shameful thing at all, as if she was telling a plain past experience, which made Ye Mingxuan stem.
Ye Shijie frowned slightly.
"But... I'm afraid your father won't trust you to go back with us." Ye Mingxuan pondered.
"If my uncle goes to negotiate with my father, I believe my father will let me go back." Jiang Li said faintly, "my mother has passed away for more than ten years, and I have grown up. There are three younger sisters in the house. I am not the only legitimate daughter, and my father's energy will not be spent on me alone."
She said something. After ye Zhenzhen's death, Ji shuran became a second string. If you want to create the impression of a loving mother, you must let Jiang Li get close to her. As long as ye's family is there, Ji shuran will not be the closest person to Ji shuran. Therefore, there must be a gap between Jiang Li and ye Jia. As for how this estrangement came into being, it depends on the means used.
This is what Jiang Li thought of later. At that time, Ji shuran coaxed the young Miss Jiang Er, and somehow let Miss Jiang Er speak ill of her grandmother, and the relationship between the two families broke down. It's hard to say whether Jiang Yuanbai knew it or not, but he knew it. Among the in laws of a merchant and the Deputy imperial envoy, he also preferred to choose the in laws of the Deputy imperial envoy.
A new generation changes old people, only new people laugh, but old people cry.
Uncle Mingxuan looked smart and couldn't help understanding what she said.
"Besides, at present, the eldest cousin has also become a member of the Ministry of household affairs," Jiang Li said with a smile, "my father will agree that our two families move more."
Everyone says that businessmen value reason over separation, but in fact, where can the officials who boast of being high minded really go? The sophistication of people in officialdom and the coldness of tea sometimes make them more ferocious and ugly than those in business.
Such is the heart and desire.
Ye Mingxuan looked at her meaningfully: "ah Li knows very well."
Jiang Li's penetration to this point really surprised Ye Mingxuan, and what surprised him more was Jiang Li's magnanimity. Jiang Li didn't cover up anything, but it made people even more confused about what she wanted to do.
He had nothing to say for a moment.
At this time, ye Shijie suddenly opened his mouth. He looked at Jiang Li and asked, "do you really want to go back to Xiangyang to see your grandmother?"
"Absolutely true." Jiang Li was also a little helpless. Her ability was a very natural thing, but because of the estrangement between the Ye family and the Jiang family many years ago, this requirement became very strange and suspicious.
Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li with determination. A solemn look appeared on the boy's face, and his eyes were looking at it with some meaning of examination. After looking at it for a while, he turned to Ye Mingxuan and said, "since she wants to go, uncle, you can take her back."
Ye Mingxuan looked at him in surprise.
Ye Shijie just stared at Jiang Li and said, "it's rare for her cousin to have this intention, but it's just a matter of having another pair of chopsticks. Let her go to her grandmother and be filial."
Jiang Li smiled at Ye Shijie, "thank you, cousin."
Ye Shijie still had doubts about her, but ye Shijie finally began to believe her.
After a long silence, ye Mingxuan raised his head and said to Jiang Li, "then I'll discuss it with your father first."
"OK." Jiang Li Dao.
……
"Are you going back to Xiangyang?" In the evening Phoenix hall, Jiang Yuanbai, who came back from the next Dynasty, had not had time to take off his official clothes, frowned and asked Jiang Li.
Jiang Li nodded: "I heard uncle Mingxuan say that my grandmother's health is not good recently, and I haven't seen her for many years, so I really miss her." Jiang Li said, "besides, I've never been to Xiangyang. If I think about it, I should also go and have a look."
Jiang Yuanbai looked at Ye Mingxuan, who smiled politely.
Jiang Yuanbai is not very disgusted with Ye Mingxuan. Although the Ye family is the home of merchants, ye Mingxuan, the second master of the Ye family, is the least like a businessman in the Ye family. He is well read and does not have the smell of copper of many businessmen. Therefore, Jiang Yuanbai is willing to say two more words to Ye Mingxuan and Jiang Yuanbai.
But even if I want to, I haven't had contact for so many years. Suddenly, it's still a little embarrassing.
"Since ah Li is interested, you might as well take her back to see the place where Zhenzhen once lived." Ye Mingxuan said with a smile, "don't worry, Mr. Jiang. We will take good care of ah Li."
"How about that?" Ji shuran, who followed Jiang Yuanbai, said anxiously, "I've had a hard time on the way, and Li'er has never been to Xiangyang. How can I get used to eating and living there?"
Ye Shijie was not worried. Ji shuran said this as if the Ye family would mistreat Jiang Li. Say a bad word, not to mention the difference between government and business, but the food of the Ye family is not necessarily worse than that of the people in the Shoufu mansion.
"Mother is worried too much," Jiang Li said without salt and water. "I have lived in the nunnery of Qingcheng Mountain for eight years, and I have been used to it. Xiangyang should be much more lively than Qingcheng Mountain."
Ji shuran was silenced by Jiang Li. This should have been a disgrace for Jiang Li's life. Now it's like Jiang Li's merit. Jiang Li's amulet is often used as a shield by her. It's annoying that it's still used quite smoothly. Seeing Jiang Yuanbai's expression, he immediately eased down to Jiang Li.
Ji shuran hated the smile on her face. These days, she is busy relieving the heartbroken Jiang Youyao, and in order to get love in front of Jiang Yuanbai, she often takes care and has no time to pay attention to Jiang Li. I don't know how Jiang Li is related to the Ye family. An orphan girl can stir up such a muddy water when she doesn't have the Ye family to rely on. If she has more Ye family to rely on, she can't tell what else Jiang Li can do.
"It's not bad..." Jiang Yuanbai mused.
Ye Mingxuan looked at the lawsuit between Ji shuran and Jiang Li, and his eyes couldn't help thinking. It seemed that the relationship between Ji shuran and Jiang Li was really bad. At that time, Jiang Li promoted Ji shuran's small-scale production. It was expected that Ji shuran and Jiang Li were so cold, but what was unexpected was Jiang Yuanbai's attitude. Jiang Yuanbai didn't seem to be completely biased towards Ji shuran.
This is not a simple thing to do.
"Since the second girl wants to go back to Xiangyang, let the second girl go to Xiangyang." Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting in a high position, opened her mouth at the right time. She said, "if it weren't for my poor health, I would also like to see her. After all these years," she sighed, "the two girls have grown up, and they should also let her see."
Mrs. Jiang really had some feelings for the Ye family. After all, ye Zhenzhen was the daughter-in-law chosen by Mrs. Jiang herself. Ye Zhenzhen is simple and cute. Although she is not smart enough, she is better than her kindness. For the wife chosen by Ji shuran and Jiang Yuanbai, old lady Jiang is not annoying, but she can't be regarded as liking. It's just that the Ji family is booming now. Due to friendship, old lady Jiang is also kind to Ji shuran. In addition, later, Ji shuran lost her child because of Jiang Li, so Jiang Lao Fu began to be sincere with Ji shuran.
But something happened recently, which made Mrs. Jiang doubt whether Jiang Yuanbai's vision was wrong.
Jiang Li has become more and more excellent. After returning from Qingcheng Mountain, it has repeatedly become a topic of discussion among people in Yanjing city. But I have to say that Jiang Li is the smartest of the Jiang family's daughters.
Old lady Jiang has a unique vision. With such a smart legitimate daughter, she doesn't seem to have a bad heart. Naturally, it's good. In addition, ye Shijie was born in the Ye family. Old lady Jiang felt that ye Shijie should go well in his future career.
It's time to mend fences with the Ye family. Mr. Jiang thought in his heart that at least Ji shuran couldn't think that as long as there was Ji's family, he would always have confidence. Although the Ji family is leaning on Li Bin to climb up, they don't need to please the Ji family to do anything. Ji shuran forgot her identity and should remind her that this is in the Jiang family, not the Ji family.
"Niang -" Ji shuran was a little anxious. Old lady Jiang said like this, which was tantamount to hitting her in the face. At this time, she suddenly found that, unconsciously, Jiang Yuanbai and old lady Jiang gradually stood on the side of Jiang Li.
She is unbelievable.
What did Jiang Li do? Jiang Li didn't seem to do anything. She didn't act like Jiang Bingji in front of the old lady all day, nor did she fall in love with Jiang Yuanbai like Jiang Youyao. How did she do it?
Ji shuran suddenly looks at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li smiled slightly.
There is no need to do anything. An official with such interests may not be without family ties. But it's not stable to rely on that meager and unstable family relationship to survive. It means that one day this family relationship may not exist, or maybe the other party listens to the slander of others, and everything he originally owned can be destroyed.
People still have to rely on themselves. This is the truth realized by Jiang Li with blood and tears. She didn't beg for mercy in front of the yuan family. She just had to do her own thing quietly and prove her value.
The worthless daughter can be trampled on at will. Pearls can't be sold as fish eyes. As long as the yuan family thinks she can be used, they won't easily pout at her.
"Let's settle down." Old lady Jiang said firmly. She looked at Ye Mingxuan and said, "you can tell us what you need on the way. The second girl is also our Miss of the Jiang family. Please take care of her this time."
It's very polite.
Ye Mingxuan quickly said yes. He was also a little strange in his heart. Today, he just wanted to see Jiang Li who said "changed his appearance" in Ye Shijie's mouth, but he didn't expect such a result in the end and took Jiang Li to Xiangyang.
But are ginger and pear really not afraid? Ye Mingxuan couldn't help looking at Jiang Li. The Ye family did not complain about Jiang Li, and some estrangements were not so easy to eliminate. If Jiang Li arrives at Ye's house, she will be left out in the cold at the beginning. For the coldness of others, Jiang Li is a daughter with a hot face and a cold ass. how long can she persist? Why do you have to suffer for yourself?
Ye Mingxuan didn't believe that Jiang Li hadn't thought of these principles. The little girl looks so smart that she must have thought about it long ago.
But
Ye Mingxuan also looked at herself when she saw Jiang Li. Her eyes were clear, but there was no doubt that no one would doubt her firmness.
She looked at him firmly and persistently with a smile. It seemed that going to Xiangyang was something she had to accomplish all her life.
Jiang Li is really firm.
She must go back to Xiangyang. No matter what price she pays, she must go back to see her father.
This is her wish.
……
On the way back, ye Shijie and ye Mingxuan were silent with each other.
What happened in the Jiang family was really beyond their expectation. Before coming, they considered all kinds of possible situations, but they were still surprised.
When he was about to reach the gate of the inn, ye Mingxuan asked his nephew, "Shijie, do you think ah li really wants to go back to Xiangyang to see your grandmother?"
"I don't know." Ye Shijie was a little irritable. "She was full of eyes. Who could see through?"
Ye Shijie is also precocious among his peers. After all, it is the eldest grandson of the Ye family, who will carry the burden of the Ye family in the future. But in the face of Jiang Li, I often feel helpless. He really didn't understand what Jiang Li was thinking, but it seemed that Jiang Li could guess what he was thinking. This kind of passive feeling is really uncomfortable. It's the same today. Ye Shijie doesn't even have the strength to talk to Ye Mingxuan.
"I think," thought Ye Mingxuan, "she didn't suddenly rise. She must have wanted to return to Xiangyang for a long time, but she hasn't had this opportunity. Today, I went to visit Jiang's family, and it happened to be an opportunity, so she took advantage of it."
Ye Mingxuan's guess is actually the same. Jiang Li has indeed been preparing for her return to Xiangyang early, and she also wants to use the Ye family to achieve her goal. At this point, since she knew Ye Shijie was her cousin at the beginning, Jiang Li began to plan, including making friends with Ye Shijie.
"Did Uncle think she was lying?" Ye Shijie frowned, "she has another purpose."
"It's hard to say." Ye Mingxuan shook his head, "but look, it's not the idea of old lady Jiang and Yuanbai Jiang. When I mentioned it, their surprise didn't seem fake."
"Maybe it was her own idea." Ye Shijie approached and put it in, closed the door, sat down on the stool in front of the table and looked at Ye Mingxuan, "Uncle... Be careful." He hesitated.
"Not at all." Ye Mingxuan said with a smile, "I don't think she looks like a mean person today. Although I don't know why she wants to return to Xiangyang, it's her own family. Let's believe her for the time being." He sighed, "the depth of the Jiang family is very deep. As you can see, ah Li survived in the Jiang family, which is much harder than us. She is a strong girl and very smart."
Ye Shijie stopped talking.
After a long time, he said, "don't be full of words, just look at them first."
……
In shuxiu garden, Ji shuran clutched her handkerchief, her fingertips turning white, and she was already furious.
Again and again, Jiang Li pushed Jiang Yuanbai to stand on his side, but Ji shuran's mother and daughter couldn't take Jiang Li. This is an orphan girl who has nothing to rely on. She wants to make a living under her own hands with fear. Now it seems that she is overbearing and arrogant.
This time Jiang Li went back to Ye's house and looked at it as a small matter, but Ji shuran felt a deep crisis. Although Ye Shijie is a member of the Ministry of household affairs, how can he compare with the Ji family. Old lady Jiang knocked her, and Ji shuran wouldn't be so stupid that she couldn't hear it. But the more so, the more unwilling.
Think of the fact that Jiang Youyao is grounded and unhappy all day long. It's not because of Jiang Li. Fortunately, there is another Jiang Bingji... Ji shuran frowned at the thought of Jiang Bingji.
She also has a son, who has to plan for Jiang Bingji. Jiang Li has turned the whole room upside down, and it is inevitable that she will not think of Jiang Bingji. Keeping ginger and pear is also a disaster.
"Madam, don't be angry." Ji shuran's servant girl, xunchun stepped forward and whispered, "although the second Miss went to Xiangyang, it may not be a good thing."
"Where does good come from?" Ji shuran frowned.
"At present, it is a time of trouble in the house. The second young lady is very shrewd and always gossips in front of the master. After the second young lady leaves, the lady can let the third young lady get along with the master alone for more time. The master was so sorry for the third young lady because of Zhou Shizi. This is a good opportunity. Without the second young lady, the third young lady and the master must get along better."
Ji shuran was silent.
Indeed, before Jiang Li returned to Yanjing, Jiang Youyao was the apple of Jiang Yuanbai's eye. It can be said that we have never met with any nail. After Jiang Li came back, Jiang Yuanbai always intentionally or unintentionally showed her guilt for Jiang Li. Even she looked at it and felt dazzling, not to mention Jiang Youyao. Jiang Youyao was spoiled since childhood, and Jiang Yuanbai was biased. Her unhappiness was all on her face, and she was not willing to take the initiative to get close to Jiang Yuanbai. The relationship between her father and daughter became weaker and weaker.
For example, if Zhou Yanbang had happened in the past, Jiang Yuanbai would never have been so kind, at least for Jiang yu'e and Zhou Yanbang.
Jiang Li left Yanjing and returned to Xiangyang. She couldn't come back for a while. It is indeed a good opportunity. Without Jiang Li, there will be no estrangement in Jiang Youyao's heart. Jiang Yuanbai can also give Jiang Youyao all his favorite.
"Besides," Xun Chun smiled again, "it's easy to go out of Shoufu mansion, but it's not easy to come in. When the second day miss left the gate of Jiang mansion, she can't come back for eight years. She can't wait to return to Xiangyang before she can sit firmly in this position. This is not what she made a fool of herself. As soon as she goes out, who knows when to come back, or..." her voice suddenly lowered, "or can't she come back?"
"You mean..." Ji shuran was stunned.
Xia Han at the other end also stepped forward and said, "last time Mrs. Yi Lang told you that many eyes in Yanjing city were staring, and it was difficult to start at the foot of the emperor. But if the second Miss went to Tongxiang, the mountains were high and the waters were long... An accident was also very natural. If something really happened at that time, it was bad luck for the Ye family, and the Ye family couldn't come up with a statement. Our family and the Ye family were really separated this time, and the Dragon Boat Festival might be better."
Ji shuran said, "I didn't think about what you said."
"I managed my reputation carefully for so many years, but she destroyed it in the end. Because of what happened a few days ago, I always wanted to be careful, but I didn't want to let this little bitch find the first opportunity." Ji shuran took a deep breath, "you're right. In Yanjing City, I still have some scruples. After all, the daughter of the Shoufu family, once there is an accident, all people will come forward to investigate. But in Tongxiang, or on the way to Tongxiang..." Ji shuran flashed a trace of malice in her eyes, "No one can find it. Even if it is found, the traces have long been cleaned up. The Ye family has silver, but it is not uncommon for silver to attract thieves."
Xia Han nodded with xunchun.
Ji shuran reached out and brushed the leaves of qiongying flowers on the table. The leaves were smooth and green.
All along, in the Jiang family and Yanjing City, she wanted to maintain the reputation of a loving mother, and because Jiang Li's return and behavior were too high-profile, she had been unable to start. In such a passive situation, Jiang Li won day by day.
At present, Jiang Li suddenly proposed to return to Xiangyang, probably because she wanted to mend fences with the Ye family and find a backer for herself, but she didn't know that such a trip would be tantamount to a general fighting on the battlefield, losing his victorious city and turning to attack a remote highland. I lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame, but that's what I said.
Since Jiang Li doesn't want to stay in Shoufu mansion, this is also an opportunity to expel her completely. Jiang Li will never have a place in Jiang mansion again.
Ji shuran pinched the meridians of qiongyinghua's leaves with her hand, and suddenly stretched out her hand to grasp them. The leaves were kneaded by her, and the roots broke at the waist, breaking into several pieces of broken flocs, which fell on the ground in scattered pieces.
She stood up abruptly and said, "find a pen and paper. I'll write to my father."
It is difficult for a person to do these things. If he wants to do it in Tongxiang without being aware of the gods, he has to rely on the Ji family.
……
Ji shuran was discussing Jiang Li's departure from Beijing. In Fangfei garden, tong'er and Bai Xue were also busy packing up.
"Take this... Take this... This dress was newly made a few days ago. You must take it away, and this pair of shoes..."
Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry and said to tong'er, "I'm just going back to Xiangyang for twoorthree months at most. You take so many things, it's like I'm staying in Xiangyang."
Tong'er was discouraged: "who knows if Xiangyang is short of anything. Yanjing city is not short of anything, but Xiangyang is not necessarily. If the girl doesn't bring enough things, and there is nothing there, how can she do it?" He turned his head anxiously and said, "I don't know how the people of the Ye family are, and whether they are good to the girl. I haven't seen them for so many years, will they treat the girl affectionately..."
Jiang Li didn't have the heart to tell tong'er that without intimacy, the Ye family was afraid to see her first face, but it must be cold. If she didn't eat shame like this, Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed when she thought of it.
"Didn't the girl bring anything specially?" Bai Xue asked seriously, "or what you want to do. It will take some days to leave Yanjing and come back again. If you want to eat any cakes, you can buy them later. Xiangyang may not have these."
They looked at Xiangyang like a remote place. Jiang Li laughed. Tongxiang was very poor, but Xiangyang was not bad at all. Xiangyang has many rich merchants. From this point alone, we know that there is nothing missing.
But Bai Xue's words reminded her of one thing.
She said with a smile, "that's what I said. Let's go out tomorrow, have some good food and have a good time. After all, we will stay in Xiangyang for a long time."
"Really?" As soon as tong'er heard this, her worries were swept away and she immediately cheered.
Snow White is also very happy.
Neither of them saw Jiang Li turn around and slightly frown, looking Chen su.
Before returning to her hometown, she had to take a look at Xue Zhao. Although Xue Zhao's bones cannot be brought back now, he cannot also return to his hometown. But Jiang Li is going to see him.
With Xue Zhao's blood feud and life, she returned to Xiangyang. No matter what, she would have a look.
That is her dead brother, Xue Zhao.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Why wait? This time is an opportunity. After uncle Mingxuan finishes his work, let me go back to Xiangyang with my uncle."
As soon as this word came out, ye Shijie and ye Mingxuan were stunned together. Tong'er also widened her eyes.
After a long time, ye Mingxuan asked suspiciously, "did you just say that you want to return to Xiangyang with me?"
"Yes." Jiang Lishuang quickly replied, "I haven't seen my grandmother and uncles for many years. I was young and didn't understand and made many mistakes. Later, I learned that I regretted it, but I didn't have the opportunity to apologize in person. Now that my uncle has come to Yanjing, he will return to Xiangyang in a few days, which is just an opportunity." She bowed her head slightly apologetically: "I haven't had a chance to be filial to my grandmother. Sometimes I think of it, and I'm often uneasy."
Ye Shijie wanted to sneer subconsciously. This word came out of Jiang Li's mouth, which was really like a joke. You know, Jiang Li didn't look so good to the Ye family who came to pick her up. But if you want to laugh, you'll hear it. Looking at Jiang Li's smiling eyes, ye Shijie can't say anything.
If she is lying, she must be the best liar in the world. Her eyes are sincere, not fake, and even suspicion is an insult.
Ye Mingxuan was stunned and speechless.
Ye Mingxuan does business all the year round. Among the three sons of the Ye family, he is the shrewdest and the most thoughtful. Therefore, unlike Ye Shijie, ye Shijie didn't realize that he had unconsciously begun to talk about Jiang Li as his own recognition, and also invisibly recognized the change of Jiang Li. Ye Mingxuan firmly believes that a person's nature will not change easily.
What's more, even if the young Jiang Li was bewitched to alienate the Ye family, for many years after the Ye family left, how could the people behind not strike while the iron was hot and bewitch Jiang Li all the time. Jiang Li's sudden awakening is unreasonable.
Jiang Li I saw today is really different from what I remember. Regardless of temperament and conversation, Jiang Li is the best among the expensive women in Yanjing city. As for the sudden kindness to Ye family, ye Mingxuan didn't dare to draw a conclusion easily. Thinking that either Jiang family or Jiang Yuanbai inspired it, or Jiang Li had another plan. Who can't be friendly on the surface?
But ye Mingxuan didn't understand when he suddenly proposed to return to Xiangyang.
For one thing, although the Ye family is a home of great wealth, Xiangyang can never be compared with the prosperity of Yanjing city. And all the way, a spoiled young lady can really stand it? On the other hand, if the matter is inspired by Jiang Yuanbai or the Jiang family, what's the advantage of letting Jiang Li go back to Ye's family. You know, Jiang Li can't lift any storm alone in the Ye family, but she is weak. Can't do bad things and simply please the Ye family? Can the Jiang family offend?
"Uncle, don't think so much," Jiang Li said with a smile, "I'm just going back to see my grandmother, that's all." As if she could see ye Mingxuan's thoughts, Jiang Li suddenly said.
Suddenly, ye Mingxuan was poked into the center, and there was no embarrassment on his face. Instead, he instantly laughed and said, "I want to know that the road back to Xiangyang is long and high. How can you stand it, a little girl?"
"Don't forget, uncle. I once lived in an temple for eight years. I have to do it myself to carry water and chop firewood. I'm not so delicate." Jiang Li Dao.
She said frankly, as if she didn't feel it was a shameful thing at all, as if she was telling a plain past experience, which made Ye Mingxuan stem.
Ye Shijie frowned slightly.
"But... I'm afraid your father won't trust you to go back with us." Ye Mingxuan pondered.
"If my uncle goes to negotiate with my father, I believe my father will let me go back." Jiang Li said faintly, "my mother has passed away for more than ten years, and I have grown up. There are three younger sisters in the house. I am not the only legitimate daughter, and my father's energy will not be spent on me alone."
She said something. After ye Zhenzhen's death, Ji shuran became a second string. If you want to create the impression of a loving mother, you must let Jiang Li get close to her. As long as ye's family is there, Ji shuran will not be the closest person to Ji shuran. Therefore, there must be a gap between Jiang Li and ye Jia. As for how this estrangement came into being, it depends on the means used.
This is what Jiang Li thought of later. At that time, Ji shuran coaxed the young Miss Jiang Er, and somehow let Miss Jiang Er speak ill of her grandmother, and the relationship between the two families broke down. It's hard to say whether Jiang Yuanbai knew it or not, but he knew it. Among the in laws of a merchant and the Deputy imperial envoy, he also preferred to choose the in laws of the Deputy imperial envoy.
A new generation changes old people, only new people laugh, but old people cry.
Uncle Mingxuan looked smart and couldn't help understanding what she said.
"Besides, at present, the eldest cousin has also become a member of the Ministry of household affairs," Jiang Li said with a smile, "my father will agree that our two families move more."
Everyone says that businessmen value reason over separation, but in fact, where can the officials who boast of being high minded really go? The sophistication of people in officialdom and the coldness of tea sometimes make them more ferocious and ugly than those in business.
Such is the heart and desire.
Ye Mingxuan looked at her meaningfully: "ah Li knows very well."
Jiang Li's penetration to this point really surprised Ye Mingxuan, and what surprised him more was Jiang Li's magnanimity. Jiang Li didn't cover up anything, but it made people even more confused about what she wanted to do.
He had nothing to say for a moment.
At this time, ye Shijie suddenly opened his mouth. He looked at Jiang Li and asked, "do you really want to go back to Xiangyang to see your grandmother?"
"Absolutely true." Jiang Li was also a little helpless. Her ability was a very natural thing, but because of the estrangement between the Ye family and the Jiang family many years ago, this requirement became very strange and suspicious.
Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li with determination. A solemn look appeared on the boy's face, and his eyes were looking at it with some meaning of examination. After looking at it for a while, he turned to Ye Mingxuan and said, "since she wants to go, uncle, you can take her back."
Ye Mingxuan looked at him in surprise.
Ye Shijie just stared at Jiang Li and said, "it's rare for her cousin to have this intention, but it's just a matter of having another pair of chopsticks. Let her go to her grandmother and be filial."
Jiang Li smiled at Ye Shijie, "thank you, cousin."
Ye Shijie still had doubts about her, but ye Shijie finally began to believe her.
After a long silence, ye Mingxuan raised his head and said to Jiang Li, "then I'll discuss it with your father first."
"OK." Jiang Li Dao.
……
"Are you going back to Xiangyang?" In the evening Phoenix hall, Jiang Yuanbai, who came back from the next Dynasty, had not had time to take off his official clothes, frowned and asked Jiang Li.
Jiang Li nodded: "I heard uncle Mingxuan say that my grandmother's health is not good recently, and I haven't seen her for many years, so I really miss her." Jiang Li said, "besides, I've never been to Xiangyang. If I think about it, I should also go and have a look."
Jiang Yuanbai looked at Ye Mingxuan, who smiled politely.
Jiang Yuanbai is not very disgusted with Ye Mingxuan. Although the Ye family is the home of merchants, ye Mingxuan, the second master of the Ye family, is the least like a businessman in the Ye family. He is well read and does not have the smell of copper of many businessmen. Therefore, Jiang Yuanbai is willing to say two more words to Ye Mingxuan and Jiang Yuanbai.
But even if I want to, I haven't had contact for so many years. Suddenly, it's still a little embarrassing.
"Since ah Li is interested, you might as well take her back to see the place where Zhenzhen once lived." Ye Mingxuan said with a smile, "don't worry, Mr. Jiang. We will take good care of ah Li."
"How about that?" Ji shuran, who followed Jiang Yuanbai, said anxiously, "I've had a hard time on the way, and Li'er has never been to Xiangyang. How can I get used to eating and living there?"
Ye Shijie was not worried. Ji shuran said this as if the Ye family would mistreat Jiang Li. Say a bad word, not to mention the difference between government and business, but the food of the Ye family is not necessarily worse than that of the people in the Shoufu mansion.
"Mother is worried too much," Jiang Li said without salt and water. "I have lived in the nunnery of Qingcheng Mountain for eight years, and I have been used to it. Xiangyang should be much more lively than Qingcheng Mountain."
Ji shuran was silenced by Jiang Li. This should have been a disgrace for Jiang Li's life. Now it's like Jiang Li's merit. Jiang Li's amulet is often used as a shield by her. It's annoying that it's still used quite smoothly. Seeing Jiang Yuanbai's expression, he immediately eased down to Jiang Li.
Ji shuran hated the smile on her face. These days, she is busy relieving the heartbroken Jiang Youyao, and in order to get love in front of Jiang Yuanbai, she often takes care and has no time to pay attention to Jiang Li. I don't know how Jiang Li is related to the Ye family. An orphan girl can stir up such a muddy water when she doesn't have the Ye family to rely on. If she has more Ye family to rely on, she can't tell what else Jiang Li can do.
"It's not bad..." Jiang Yuanbai mused.
Ye Mingxuan looked at the lawsuit between Ji shuran and Jiang Li, and his eyes couldn't help thinking. It seemed that the relationship between Ji shuran and Jiang Li was really bad. At that time, Jiang Li promoted Ji shuran's small-scale production. It was expected that Ji shuran and Jiang Li were so cold, but what was unexpected was Jiang Yuanbai's attitude. Jiang Yuanbai didn't seem to be completely biased towards Ji shuran.
This is not a simple thing to do.
"Since the second girl wants to go back to Xiangyang, let the second girl go to Xiangyang." Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting in a high position, opened her mouth at the right time. She said, "if it weren't for my poor health, I would also like to see her. After all these years," she sighed, "the two girls have grown up, and they should also let her see."
Mrs. Jiang really had some feelings for the Ye family. After all, ye Zhenzhen was the daughter-in-law chosen by Mrs. Jiang herself. Ye Zhenzhen is simple and cute. Although she is not smart enough, she is better than her kindness. For the wife chosen by Ji shuran and Jiang Yuanbai, old lady Jiang is not annoying, but she can't be regarded as liking. It's just that the Ji family is booming now. Due to friendship, old lady Jiang is also kind to Ji shuran. In addition, later, Ji shuran lost her child because of Jiang Li, so Jiang Lao Fu began to be sincere with Ji shuran.
But something happened recently, which made Mrs. Jiang doubt whether Jiang Yuanbai's vision was wrong.
Jiang Li has become more and more excellent. After returning from Qingcheng Mountain, it has repeatedly become a topic of discussion among people in Yanjing city. But I have to say that Jiang Li is the smartest of the Jiang family's daughters.
Old lady Jiang has a unique vision. With such a smart legitimate daughter, she doesn't seem to have a bad heart. Naturally, it's good. In addition, ye Shijie was born in the Ye family. Old lady Jiang felt that ye Shijie should go well in his future career.
It's time to mend fences with the Ye family. Mr. Jiang thought in his heart that at least Ji shuran couldn't think that as long as there was Ji's family, he would always have confidence. Although the Ji family is leaning on Li Bin to climb up, they don't need to please the Ji family to do anything. Ji shuran forgot her identity and should remind her that this is in the Jiang family, not the Ji family.
"Niang -" Ji shuran was a little anxious. Old lady Jiang said like this, which was tantamount to hitting her in the face. At this time, she suddenly found that, unconsciously, Jiang Yuanbai and old lady Jiang gradually stood on the side of Jiang Li.
She is unbelievable.
What did Jiang Li do? Jiang Li didn't seem to do anything. She didn't act like Jiang Bingji in front of the old lady all day, nor did she fall in love with Jiang Yuanbai like Jiang Youyao. How did she do it?
Ji shuran suddenly looks at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li smiled slightly.
There is no need to do anything. An official with such interests may not be without family ties. But it's not stable to rely on that meager and unstable family relationship to survive. It means that one day this family relationship may not exist, or maybe the other party listens to the slander of others, and everything he originally owned can be destroyed.
People still have to rely on themselves. This is the truth realized by Jiang Li with blood and tears. She didn't beg for mercy in front of the yuan family. She just had to do her own thing quietly and prove her value.
The worthless daughter can be trampled on at will. Pearls can't be sold as fish eyes. As long as the yuan family thinks she can be used, they won't easily pout at her.
"Let's settle down." Old lady Jiang said firmly. She looked at Ye Mingxuan and said, "you can tell us what you need on the way. The second girl is also our Miss of the Jiang family. Please take care of her this time."
It's very polite.
Ye Mingxuan quickly said yes. He was also a little strange in his heart. Today, he just wanted to see Jiang Li who said "changed his appearance" in Ye Shijie's mouth, but he didn't expect such a result in the end and took Jiang Li to Xiangyang.
But are ginger and pear really not afraid? Ye Mingxuan couldn't help looking at Jiang Li. The Ye family did not complain about Jiang Li, and some estrangements were not so easy to eliminate. If Jiang Li arrives at Ye's house, she will be left out in the cold at the beginning. For the coldness of others, Jiang Li is a daughter with a hot face and a cold ass. how long can she persist? Why do you have to suffer for yourself?
Ye Mingxuan didn't believe that Jiang Li hadn't thought of these principles. The little girl looks so smart that she must have thought about it long ago.
But
Ye Mingxuan also looked at herself when she saw Jiang Li. Her eyes were clear, but there was no doubt that no one would doubt her firmness.
She looked at him firmly and persistently with a smile. It seemed that going to Xiangyang was something she had to accomplish all her life.
Jiang Li is really firm.
She must go back to Xiangyang. No matter what price she pays, she must go back to see her father.
This is her wish.
……
On the way back, ye Shijie and ye Mingxuan were silent with each other.
What happened in the Jiang family was really beyond their expectation. Before coming, they considered all kinds of possible situations, but they were still surprised.
When he was about to reach the gate of the inn, ye Mingxuan asked his nephew, "Shijie, do you think ah li really wants to go back to Xiangyang to see your grandmother?"
"I don't know." Ye Shijie was a little irritable. "She was full of eyes. Who could see through?"
Ye Shijie is also precocious among his peers. After all, it is the eldest grandson of the Ye family, who will carry the burden of the Ye family in the future. But in the face of Jiang Li, I often feel helpless. He really didn't understand what Jiang Li was thinking, but it seemed that Jiang Li could guess what he was thinking. This kind of passive feeling is really uncomfortable. It's the same today. Ye Shijie doesn't even have the strength to talk to Ye Mingxuan.
"I think," thought Ye Mingxuan, "she didn't suddenly rise. She must have wanted to return to Xiangyang for a long time, but she hasn't had this opportunity. Today, I went to visit Jiang's family, and it happened to be an opportunity, so she took advantage of it."
Ye Mingxuan's guess is actually the same. Jiang Li has indeed been preparing for her return to Xiangyang early, and she also wants to use the Ye family to achieve her goal. At this point, since she knew Ye Shijie was her cousin at the beginning, Jiang Li began to plan, including making friends with Ye Shijie.
"Did Uncle think she was lying?" Ye Shijie frowned, "she has another purpose."
"It's hard to say." Ye Mingxuan shook his head, "but look, it's not the idea of old lady Jiang and Yuanbai Jiang. When I mentioned it, their surprise didn't seem fake."
"Maybe it was her own idea." Ye Shijie approached and put it in, closed the door, sat down on the stool in front of the table and looked at Ye Mingxuan, "Uncle... Be careful." He hesitated.
"Not at all." Ye Mingxuan said with a smile, "I don't think she looks like a mean person today. Although I don't know why she wants to return to Xiangyang, it's her own family. Let's believe her for the time being." He sighed, "the depth of the Jiang family is very deep. As you can see, ah Li survived in the Jiang family, which is much harder than us. She is a strong girl and very smart."
Ye Shijie stopped talking.
After a long time, he said, "don't be full of words, just look at them first."
……
In shuxiu garden, Ji shuran clutched her handkerchief, her fingertips turning white, and she was already furious.
Again and again, Jiang Li pushed Jiang Yuanbai to stand on his side, but Ji shuran's mother and daughter couldn't take Jiang Li. This is an orphan girl who has nothing to rely on. She wants to make a living under her own hands with fear. Now it seems that she is overbearing and arrogant.
This time Jiang Li went back to Ye's house and looked at it as a small matter, but Ji shuran felt a deep crisis. Although Ye Shijie is a member of the Ministry of household affairs, how can he compare with the Ji family. Old lady Jiang knocked her, and Ji shuran wouldn't be so stupid that she couldn't hear it. But the more so, the more unwilling.
Think of the fact that Jiang Youyao is grounded and unhappy all day long. It's not because of Jiang Li. Fortunately, there is another Jiang Bingji... Ji shuran frowned at the thought of Jiang Bingji.
She also has a son, who has to plan for Jiang Bingji. Jiang Li has turned the whole room upside down, and it is inevitable that she will not think of Jiang Bingji. Keeping ginger and pear is also a disaster.
"Madam, don't be angry." Ji shuran's servant girl, xunchun stepped forward and whispered, "although the second Miss went to Xiangyang, it may not be a good thing."
"Where does good come from?" Ji shuran frowned.
"At present, it is a time of trouble in the house. The second young lady is very shrewd and always gossips in front of the master. After the second young lady leaves, the lady can let the third young lady get along with the master alone for more time. The master was so sorry for the third young lady because of Zhou Shizi. This is a good opportunity. Without the second young lady, the third young lady and the master must get along better."
Ji shuran was silent.
Indeed, before Jiang Li returned to Yanjing, Jiang Youyao was the apple of Jiang Yuanbai's eye. It can be said that we have never met with any nail. After Jiang Li came back, Jiang Yuanbai always intentionally or unintentionally showed her guilt for Jiang Li. Even she looked at it and felt dazzling, not to mention Jiang Youyao. Jiang Youyao was spoiled since childhood, and Jiang Yuanbai was biased. Her unhappiness was all on her face, and she was not willing to take the initiative to get close to Jiang Yuanbai. The relationship between her father and daughter became weaker and weaker.
For example, if Zhou Yanbang had happened in the past, Jiang Yuanbai would never have been so kind, at least for Jiang yu'e and Zhou Yanbang.
Jiang Li left Yanjing and returned to Xiangyang. She couldn't come back for a while. It is indeed a good opportunity. Without Jiang Li, there will be no estrangement in Jiang Youyao's heart. Jiang Yuanbai can also give Jiang Youyao all his favorite.
"Besides," Xun Chun smiled again, "it's easy to go out of Shoufu mansion, but it's not easy to come in. When the second day miss left the gate of Jiang mansion, she can't come back for eight years. She can't wait to return to Xiangyang before she can sit firmly in this position. This is not what she made a fool of herself. As soon as she goes out, who knows when to come back, or..." her voice suddenly lowered, "or can't she come back?"
"You mean..." Ji shuran was stunned.
Xia Han at the other end also stepped forward and said, "last time Mrs. Yi Lang told you that many eyes in Yanjing city were staring, and it was difficult to start at the foot of the emperor. But if the second Miss went to Tongxiang, the mountains were high and the waters were long... An accident was also very natural. If something really happened at that time, it was bad luck for the Ye family, and the Ye family couldn't come up with a statement. Our family and the Ye family were really separated this time, and the Dragon Boat Festival might be better."
Ji shuran said, "I didn't think about what you said."
"I managed my reputation carefully for so many years, but she destroyed it in the end. Because of what happened a few days ago, I always wanted to be careful, but I didn't want to let this little bitch find the first opportunity." Ji shuran took a deep breath, "you're right. In Yanjing City, I still have some scruples. After all, the daughter of the Shoufu family, once there is an accident, all people will come forward to investigate. But in Tongxiang, or on the way to Tongxiang..." Ji shuran flashed a trace of malice in her eyes, "No one can find it. Even if it is found, the traces have long been cleaned up. The Ye family has silver, but it is not uncommon for silver to attract thieves."
Xia Han nodded with xunchun.
Ji shuran reached out and brushed the leaves of qiongying flowers on the table. The leaves were smooth and green.
All along, in the Jiang family and Yanjing City, she wanted to maintain the reputation of a loving mother, and because Jiang Li's return and behavior were too high-profile, she had been unable to start. In such a passive situation, Jiang Li won day by day.
At present, Jiang Li suddenly proposed to return to Xiangyang, probably because she wanted to mend fences with the Ye family and find a backer for herself, but she didn't know that such a trip would be tantamount to a general fighting on the battlefield, losing his victorious city and turning to attack a remote highland. I lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame, but that's what I said.
Since Jiang Li doesn't want to stay in Shoufu mansion, this is also an opportunity to expel her completely. Jiang Li will never have a place in Jiang mansion again.
Ji shuran pinched the meridians of qiongyinghua's leaves with her hand, and suddenly stretched out her hand to grasp them. The leaves were kneaded by her, and the roots broke at the waist, breaking into several pieces of broken flocs, which fell on the ground in scattered pieces.
She stood up abruptly and said, "find a pen and paper. I'll write to my father."
It is difficult for a person to do these things. If he wants to do it in Tongxiang without being aware of the gods, he has to rely on the Ji family.
……
Ji shuran was discussing Jiang Li's departure from Beijing. In Fangfei garden, tong'er and Bai Xue were also busy packing up.
"Take this... Take this... This dress was newly made a few days ago. You must take it away, and this pair of shoes..."
Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry and said to tong'er, "I'm just going back to Xiangyang for twoorthree months at most. You take so many things, it's like I'm staying in Xiangyang."
Tong'er was discouraged: "who knows if Xiangyang is short of anything. Yanjing city is not short of anything, but Xiangyang is not necessarily. If the girl doesn't bring enough things, and there is nothing there, how can she do it?" He turned his head anxiously and said, "I don't know how the people of the Ye family are, and whether they are good to the girl. I haven't seen them for so many years, will they treat the girl affectionately..."
Jiang Li didn't have the heart to tell tong'er that without intimacy, the Ye family was afraid to see her first face, but it must be cold. If she didn't eat shame like this, Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed when she thought of it.
"Didn't the girl bring anything specially?" Bai Xue asked seriously, "or what you want to do. It will take some days to leave Yanjing and come back again. If you want to eat any cakes, you can buy them later. Xiangyang may not have these."
They looked at Xiangyang like a remote place. Jiang Li laughed. Tongxiang was very poor, but Xiangyang was not bad at all. Xiangyang has many rich merchants. From this point alone, we know that there is nothing missing.
But Bai Xue's words reminded her of one thing.
She said with a smile, "that's what I said. Let's go out tomorrow, have some good food and have a good time. After all, we will stay in Xiangyang for a long time."
"Really?" As soon as tong'er heard this, her worries were swept away and she immediately cheered.
Snow White is also very happy.
Neither of them saw Jiang Li turn around and slightly frown, looking Chen su.
Before returning to her hometown, she had to take a look at Xue Zhao. Although Xue Zhao's bones cannot be brought back now, he cannot also return to his hometown. But Jiang Li is going to see him.
With Xue Zhao's blood feud and life, she returned to Xiangyang. No matter what, she would have a look.
That is her dead brother, Xue Zhao.
"Why wait? This time is an opportunity. After uncle Mingxuan finishes his work, let me go back to Xiangyang with my uncle."As soon as this word came out, ye Shijie and ye Mingxuan were stunned together. Tong'er also widened her eyes.After a long time, ye Mingxuan asked suspiciously, "did you just say that you want to return to Xiangyang with me?""Yes." Jiang Lishuang quickly replied, "I haven't seen my grandmother and uncles for many years. I was young and didn't understand and made many mistakes. Later, I learned that I regretted it, but I didn't have the opportunity to apologize in person. Now that my uncle has come to Yanjing, he will return to Xiangyang in a few days, which is just an opportunity." She bowed her head slightly apologetically: "I haven't had a chance to be filial to my grandmother. Sometimes I think of it, and I'm often uneasy."Ye Shijie wanted to sneer subconsciously. This word came out of Jiang Li's mouth, which was really like a joke. You know, Jiang Li didn't look so good to the Ye family who came to pick her up. But if you want to laugh, you'll hear it. Looking at Jiang Li's smiling eyes, ye Shijie can't say anything.If she is lying, she must be the best liar in the world. Her eyes are sincere, not fake, and even suspicion is an insult.Ye Mingxuan was stunned and speechless.Ye Mingxuan does business all the year round. Among the three sons of the Ye family, he is the shrewdest and the most thoughtful. Therefore, unlike Ye Shijie, ye Shijie didn't realize that he had unconsciously begun to talk about Jiang Li as his own recognition, and also invisibly recognized the change of Jiang Li. Ye Mingxuan firmly believes that a person's nature will not change easily.What's more, even if the young Jiang Li was bewitched to alienate the Ye family, for many years after the Ye family left, how could the people behind not strike while the iron was hot and bewitch Jiang Li all the time. Jiang Li's sudden awakening is unreasonable.Jiang Li I saw today is really different from what I remember. Regardless of temperament and conversation, Jiang Li is the best among the expensive women in Yanjing city. As for the sudden kindness to Ye family, ye Mingxuan didn't dare to draw a conclusion easily. Thinking that either Jiang family or Jiang Yuanbai inspired it, or Jiang Li had another plan. Who can't be friendly on the surface?But ye Mingxuan didn't understand when he suddenly proposed to return to Xiangyang.For one thing, although the Ye family is a home of great wealth, Xiangyang can never be compared with the prosperity of Yanjing city. And all the way, a spoiled young lady can really stand it? On the other hand, if the matter is inspired by Jiang Yuanbai or the Jiang family, what's the advantage of letting Jiang Li go back to Ye's family. You know, Jiang Li can't lift any storm alone in the Ye family, but she is weak. Can't do bad things and simply please the Ye family? Can the Jiang family offend?"Uncle, don't think so much," Jiang Li said with a smile, "I'm just going back to see my grandmother, that's all." As if she could see ye Mingxuan's thoughts, Jiang Li suddenly said.Suddenly, ye Mingxuan was poked into the center, and there was no embarrassment on his face. Instead, he instantly laughed and said, "I want to know that the road back to Xiangyang is long and high. How can you stand it, a little girl?""Don't forget, uncle. I once lived in an temple for eight years. I have to do it myself to carry water and chop firewood. I'm not so delicate." Jiang Li Dao.She said frankly, as if she didn't feel it was a shameful thing at all, as if she was telling a plain past experience, which made Ye Mingxuan stem.Ye Shijie frowned slightly."But... I'm afraid your father won't trust you to go back with us." Ye Mingxuan pondered."If my uncle goes to negotiate with my father, I believe my father will let me go back." Jiang Li said faintly, "my mother has passed away for more than ten years, and I have grown up. There are three younger sisters in the house. I am not the only legitimate daughter, and my father's energy will not be spent on me alone."She said something. After ye Zhenzhen's death, Ji shuran became a second string. If you want to create the impression of a loving mother, you must let Jiang Li get close to her. As long as ye's family is there, Ji shuran will not be the closest person to Ji shuran. Therefore, there must be a gap between Jiang Li and ye Jia. As for how this estrangement came into being, it depends on the means used.This is what Jiang Li thought of later. At that time, Ji shuran coaxed the young Miss Jiang Er, and somehow let Miss Jiang Er speak ill of her grandmother, and the relationship between the two families broke down. It's hard to say whether Jiang Yuanbai knew it or not, but he knew it. Among the in laws of a merchant and the Deputy imperial envoy, he also preferred to choose the in laws of the Deputy imperial envoy.A new generation changes old people, only new people laugh, but old people cry.Uncle Mingxuan looked smart and couldn't help understanding what she said."Besides, at present, the eldest cousin has also become a member of the Ministry of household affairs," Jiang Li said with a smile, "my father will agree that our two families move more."Everyone says that businessmen value reason over separation, but in fact, where can the officials who boast of being high minded really go? The sophistication of people in officialdom and the coldness of tea sometimes make them more ferocious and ugly than those in business.Such is the heart and desire.Ye Mingxuan looked at her meaningfully: "ah Li knows very well."Jiang Li's penetration to this point really surprised Ye Mingxuan, and what surprised him more was Jiang Li's magnanimity. Jiang Li didn't cover up anything, but it made people even more confused about what she wanted to do.He had nothing to say for a moment.At this time, ye Shijie suddenly opened his mouth. He looked at Jiang Li and asked, "do you really want to go back to Xiangyang to see your grandmother?""Absolutely true." Jiang Li was also a little helpless. Her ability was a very natural thing, but because of the estrangement between the Ye family and the Jiang family many years ago, this requirement became very strange and suspicious.Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li with determination. A solemn look appeared on the boy's face, and his eyes were looking at it with some meaning of examination. After looking at it for a while, he turned to Ye Mingxuan and said, "since she wants to go, uncle, you can take her back."Ye Mingxuan looked at him in surprise.Ye Shijie just stared at Jiang Li and said, "it's rare for her cousin to have this intention, but it's just a matter of having another pair of chopsticks. Let her go to her grandmother and be filial."Jiang Li smiled at Ye Shijie, "thank you, cousin."Ye Shijie still had doubts about her, but ye Shijie finally began to believe her.After a long silence, ye Mingxuan raised his head and said to Jiang Li, "then I'll discuss it with your father first.""OK." Jiang Li Dao."Are you going back to Xiangyang?" In the evening Phoenix hall, Jiang Yuanbai, who came back from the next Dynasty, had not had time to take off his official clothes, frowned and asked Jiang Li.Jiang Li nodded: "I heard uncle Mingxuan say that my grandmother's health is not good recently, and I haven't seen her for many years, so I really miss her." Jiang Li said, "besides, I've never been to Xiangyang. If I think about it, I should also go and have a look."Jiang Yuanbai looked at Ye Mingxuan, who smiled politely.Jiang Yuanbai is not very disgusted with Ye Mingxuan. Although the Ye family is the home of merchants, ye Mingxuan, the second master of the Ye family, is the least like a businessman in the Ye family. He is well read and does not have the smell of copper of many businessmen. Therefore, Jiang Yuanbai is willing to say two more words to Ye Mingxuan and Jiang Yuanbai.But even if I want to, I haven't had contact for so many years. Suddenly, it's still a little embarrassing."Since ah Li is interested, you might as well take her back to see the place where Zhenzhen once lived." Ye Mingxuan said with a smile, "don't worry, Mr. Jiang. We will take good care of ah Li.""How about that?" Ji shuran, who followed Jiang Yuanbai, said anxiously, "I've had a hard time on the way, and Li'er has never been to Xiangyang. How can I get used to eating and living there?"Ye Shijie was not worried. Ji shuran said this as if the Ye family would mistreat Jiang Li. Say a bad word, not to mention the difference between government and business, but the food of the Ye family is not necessarily worse than that of the people in the Shoufu mansion."Mother is worried too much," Jiang Li said without salt and water. "I have lived in the nunnery of Qingcheng Mountain for eight years, and I have been used to it. Xiangyang should be much more lively than Qingcheng Mountain."Ji shuran was silenced by Jiang Li. This should have been a disgrace for Jiang Li's life. Now it's like Jiang Li's merit. Jiang Li's amulet is often used as a shield by her. It's annoying that it's still used quite smoothly. Seeing Jiang Yuanbai's expression, he immediately eased down to Jiang Li.Ji shuran hated the smile on her face. These days, she is busy relieving the heartbroken Jiang Youyao, and in order to get love in front of Jiang Yuanbai, she often takes care and has no time to pay attention to Jiang Li. I don't know how Jiang Li is related to the Ye family. An orphan girl can stir up such a muddy water when she doesn't have the Ye family to rely on. If she has more Ye family to rely on, she can't tell what else Jiang Li can do."It's not bad..." Jiang Yuanbai mused.Ye Mingxuan looked at the lawsuit between Ji shuran and Jiang Li, and his eyes couldn't help thinking. It seemed that the relationship between Ji shuran and Jiang Li was really bad. At that time, Jiang Li promoted Ji shuran's small-scale production. It was expected that Ji shuran and Jiang Li were so cold, but what was unexpected was Jiang Yuanbai's attitude. Jiang Yuanbai didn't seem to be completely biased towards Ji shuran.This is not a simple thing to do."Since the second girl wants to go back to Xiangyang, let the second girl go to Xiangyang." Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting in a high position, opened her mouth at the right time. She said, "if it weren't for my poor health, I would also like to see her. After all these years," she sighed, "the two girls have grown up, and they should also let her see."Mrs. Jiang really had some feelings for the Ye family. After all, ye Zhenzhen was the daughter-in-law chosen by Mrs. Jiang herself. Ye Zhenzhen is simple and cute. Although she is not smart enough, she is better than her kindness.

She looked at Ye Mingxuan and said, "you can tell us what you need on the way. The second girl is also our Miss of the Jiang family. Please take care of her this time."It's very polite.Ye Mingxuan quickly said yes. He was also a little strange in his heart. Today, he just wanted to see Jiang Li who said "changed his appearance" in Ye Shijie's mouth, but he didn't expect such a result in the end and took Jiang Li to Xiangyang.But are ginger and pear really not afraid? Ye Mingxuan couldn't help looking at Jiang Li. The Ye family did not complain about Jiang Li, and some estrangements were not so easy to eliminate. If Jiang Li arrives at Ye's house, she will be left out in the cold at the beginning. For the coldness of others, Jiang Li is a daughter with a hot face and a cold ass. how long can she persist? Why do you have to suffer for yourself?Ye Mingxuan didn't believe that Jiang Li hadn't thought of these principles. The little girl looks so smart that she must have thought about it long ago.ButYe Mingxuan also looked at herself when she saw Jiang Li. Her eyes were clear, but there was no doubt that no one would doubt her firmness.She looked at him firmly and persistently with a smile. It seemed that going to Xiangyang was something she had to accomplish all her life.Jiang Li is really firm.She must go back to Xiangyang. No matter what price she pays, she must go back to see her father.This is her wish.On the way back, ye Shijie and ye Mingxuan were silent with each other.What happened in the Jiang family was really beyond their expectation. Before coming, they considered all kinds of possible situations, but they were still surprised.When he was about to reach the gate of the inn, ye Mingxuan asked his nephew, "Shijie, do you think ah li really wants to go back to Xiangyang to see your grandmother?""I don't know." Ye Shijie was a little irritable. "She was full of eyes. Who could see through?"Ye Shijie is also precocious among his peers. After all, it is the eldest grandson of the Ye family, who will carry the burden of the Ye family in the future. But in the face of Jiang Li, I often feel helpless. He really didn't understand what Jiang Li was thinking, but it seemed that Jiang Li could guess what he was thinking. This kind of passive feeling is really uncomfortable. It's the same today. Ye Shijie doesn't even have the strength to talk to Ye Mingxuan."I think," thought Ye Mingxuan, "she didn't suddenly rise. She must have wanted to return to Xiangyang for a long time, but she hasn't had this opportunity. Today, I went to visit Jiang's family, and it happened to be an opportunity, so she took advantage of it."Ye Mingxuan's guess is actually the same. Jiang Li has indeed been preparing for her return to Xiangyang early, and she also wants to use the Ye family to achieve her goal. At this point, since she knew Ye Shijie was her cousin at the beginning, Jiang Li began to plan, including making friends with Ye Shijie."Did Uncle think she was lying?" Ye Shijie frowned, "she has another purpose.""It's hard to say." Ye Mingxuan shook his head, "but look, it's not the idea of old lady Jiang and Yuanbai Jiang. When I mentioned it, their surprise didn't seem fake.""Maybe it was her own idea." Ye Shijie approached and put it in, closed the door, sat down on the stool in front of the table and looked at Ye Mingxuan, "Uncle... Be careful." He hesitated."Not at all." Ye Mingxuan said with a smile, "I don't think she looks like a mean person today. Although I don't know why she wants to return to Xiangyang, it's her own family. Let's believe her for the time being." He sighed, "the depth of the Jiang family is very deep. As you can see, ah Li survived in the Jiang family, which is much harder than us. She is a strong girl and very smart."Ye Shijie stopped talking.After a long time, he said, "don't be full of words, just look at them first."In shuxiu garden, Ji shuran clutched her handkerchief, her fingertips turning white, and she was already furious.Again and again, Jiang Li pushed Jiang Yuanbai to stand on his side, but Ji shuran's mother and daughter couldn't take Jiang Li. This is an orphan girl who has nothing to rely on. She wants to make a living under her own hands with fear. Now it seems that she is overbearing and arrogant.This time Jiang Li went back to Ye's house and looked at it as a small matter, but Ji shuran felt a deep crisis. Although Ye Shijie is a member of the Ministry of household affairs, how can he compare with the Ji family. Old lady Jiang knocked her, and Ji shuran wouldn't be so stupid that she couldn't hear it. But the more so, the more unwilling.Think of the fact that Jiang Youyao is grounded and unhappy all day long. It's not because of Jiang Li. Fortunately, there is another Jiang Bingji... Ji shuran frowned at the thought of Jiang Bingji.She also has a son, who has to plan for Jiang Bingji. Jiang Li has turned the whole room upside down, and it is inevitable that she will not think of Jiang Bingji. Keeping ginger and pear is also a disaster."Madam, don't be angry." Ji shuran's servant girl, xunchun stepped forward and whispered, "although the second Miss went to Xiangyang, it may not be a good thing.""Where does good come from?" Ji shuran frowned."At present, it is a time of trouble in the house. The second young lady is very shrewd and always gossips in front of the master. After the second young lady leaves, the lady can let the third young lady get along with the master alone for more time. The master was so sorry for the third young lady because of Zhou Shizi. This is a good opportunity. Without the second young lady, the third young lady and the master must get along better."Ji shuran was silent.Indeed, before Jiang Li returned to Yanjing, Jiang Youyao was the apple of Jiang Yuanbai's eye. It can be said that we have never met with any nail. After Jiang Li came back, Jiang Yuanbai always intentionally or unintentionally showed her guilt for Jiang Li. Even she looked at it and felt dazzling, not to mention Jiang Youyao. Jiang Youyao was spoiled since childhood, and Jiang Yuanbai was biased. Her unhappiness was all on her face, and she was not willing to take the initiative to get close to Jiang Yuanbai. The relationship between her father and daughter became weaker and weaker.For example, if Zhou Yanbang had happened in the past, Jiang Yuanbai would never have been so kind, at least for Jiang yu'e and Zhou Yanbang.Jiang Li left Yanjing and returned to Xiangyang. She couldn't come back for a while. It is indeed a good opportunity. Without Jiang Li, there will be no estrangement in Jiang Youyao's heart. Jiang Yuanbai can also give Jiang Youyao all his favorite."Besides," Xun Chun smiled again, "it's easy to go out of Shoufu mansion, but it's not easy to come in. When the second day miss left the gate of Jiang mansion, she can't come back for eight years. She can't wait to return to Xiangyang before she can sit firmly in this position. This is not what she made a fool of herself. As soon as she goes out, who knows when to come back, or..." her voice suddenly lowered, "or can't she come back?""You mean..." Ji shuran was stunned.Xia Han at the other end also stepped forward and said, "last time Mrs. Yi Lang told you that many eyes in Yanjing city were staring, and it was difficult to start at the foot of the emperor. But if the second Miss went to Tongxiang, the mountains were high and the waters were long... An accident was also very natural. If something really happened at that time, it was bad luck for the Ye family, and the Ye family couldn't come up with a statement. Our family and the Ye family were really separated this time, and the Dragon Boat Festival might be better."Ji shuran said, "I didn't think about what you said.""I managed my reputation carefully for so many years, but she destroyed it in the end. Because of what happened a few days ago, I always wanted to be careful, but I didn't want to let this little bitch find the first opportunity." Ji shuran took a deep breath, "you're right. In Yanjing City, I still have some scruples. After all, the daughter of the Shoufu family, once there is an accident, all people will come forward to investigate. But in Tongxiang, or on the way to Tongxiang..." Ji shuran flashed a trace of malice in her eyes, "No one can find it. Even if it is found, the traces have long been cleaned up. The Ye family has silver, but it is not uncommon for silver to attract thieves."Xia Han nodded with xunchun.Ji shuran reached out and brushed the leaves of qiongying flowers on the table. The leaves were smooth and green.All along, in the Jiang family and Yanjing City, she wanted to maintain the reputation of a loving mother, and because Jiang Li's return and behavior were too high-profile, she had been unable to start. In such a passive situation, Jiang Li won day by day.At present, Jiang Li suddenly proposed to return to Xiangyang, probably because she wanted to mend fences with the Ye family and find a backer for herself, but she didn't know that such a trip would be tantamount to a general fighting on the battlefield, losing his victorious city and turning to attack a remote highland. I lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame, but that's what I said.Since Jiang Li doesn't want to stay in Shoufu mansion, this is also an opportunity to expel her completely. Jiang Li will never have a place in Jiang mansion again.Ji shuran pinched the meridians of qiongyinghua's leaves with her hand, and suddenly stretched out her hand to grasp them. The leaves were kneaded by her, and the roots broke at the waist, breaking into several pieces of broken flocs, which fell on the ground in scattered pieces.She stood up abruptly and said, "find a pen and paper. I'll write to my father."It is difficult for a person to do these things. If he wants to do it in Tongxiang without being aware of the gods, he has to rely on the Ji family.Ji shuran was discussing Jiang Li's departure from Beijing. In Fangfei garden, tong'er and Bai Xue were also busy packing up."Take this... Take this... This dress was newly made a few days ago. You must take it away, and this pair of shoes..."Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry and said to tong'er, "I'm just going back to Xiangyang for twoorthree months at most. You take so many things, it's like I'm staying in Xiangyang."Tong'er was discouraged: "who knows if Xiangyang is short of anything. Yanjing city is not short of anything, but Xiangyang is not necessarily. If the girl doesn't bring enough things, and there is nothing there, how can she do it?" He turned his head anxiously and said, "I don't know how the people of the Ye family are, and whether they are good to the girl. I haven't seen them for so many years, will they treat the girl affectionately..."Jiang Li didn't have the heart to tell tong'er that without intimacy, the Ye family was afraid to see her first face, but it must be cold. If she didn't eat shame like this, Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed when she thought of it."Didn't the girl bring anything specially?" Bai Xue asked seriously, "or what you want to do. It will take some days to leave Yanjing and come back again. If you want to eat any cakes, you can buy them later. Xiangyang may not have these."They looked at Xiangyang like a remote place. Jiang Li laughed. Tongxiang was very poor, but Xiangyang was not bad at all. Xiangyang has many rich merchants. From this point alone, we know that there is nothing missing.But Bai Xue's words reminded her of one thing.She said with a smile, "that's what I said. Let's go out tomorrow, have some good food and have a good time. After all, we will stay in Xiangyang for a long time.""Really?" As soon as tong'er heard this, her worries were swept away and she immediately cheered.Snow White is also very happy.Neither of them saw Jiang Li turn around and slightly frown, looking Chen su.Before returning to her hometown, she had to take a look at Xue Zhao. Although Xue Zhao's bones cannot be brought back now, he cannot also return to his hometown. But Jiang Li is going to see him.With Xue Zhao's blood feud and life, she returned to Xiangyang. No matter what, she would have a look.That is her dead brother, Xue Zhao.
