Chapter 502: Men Still Need to...
Chapter 502: Men Still Need to...
Zhao Yue wasn't a bright person, and usually had a rather bad temper, but she was actually quite kind-hearted. Seeing her niece-in-law like this, she felt a little sorry for her, so she whispered to Jiang Shangxian, "She seems quite smart, so why is she picking on you? Could she be jealous that the man you're going to marry is healthier than hers?"
She nags in her daughter-in-law's ear, oblivious to the others: "When it comes to men, you can't just look at those superficial things. Family background and status are important, but if he doesn't look good at a young age, that's really not good... Look at this guy, you went to great lengths to pick a man who's a wimp. You really have good taste. Yi'er, let alone other things, has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so his physique is beyond words~"
She wasn't bragging, one could tell at a glance that her Yi'er's physique was stronger than her father's!
This content is somewhat pornographic... Oh no, it involves Jiang Shangxian's personal hobby. She subconsciously nodded in agreement: "Men, you still have to be practical..."
No!
Xiao Jiang reacted and turned to look at her future mother-in-law in horror. What was wrong with her?! Is it okay to say such things here?!
Although it was very quiet, weren't you ancients very graceful?
Zhao Yue didn't think there was anything wrong. From the first time they met, she knew that her daughter-in-law was the same kind of person as herself - a big pervert!
"Okay, okay, stop talking and listen to your sister-in-law. Divorce is impossible and she is not a member of our eldest wife's family. Just let her lose face once." Zhao Yue was still very kind-hearted. Especially when she thought that her niece-in-law's married life was not as good as hers at her age, she felt even more sorry for her.
Jiang Shangxian felt that she still didn't understand Zhao Yue well enough: Who is talking?!
But there was no other way, the character still had to be established, so Xiao Jiang began to listen attentively to Wang Xianniang.
She seemed to have gotten over the feeling of being blamed, and spoke more and more fluently: "I still have some head ornaments and jewelry that would be perfect for the young lady. I'll have someone bring them over in a while. I hope my ninth sister-in-law will forgive my mistake this time. We are all family, and my grandfather values blood relatives the most. If we become estranged because of this, I'm afraid I'll be blamed even if I die..."
Very good. These words immediately dampened Jiang Shangxian's rising sympathy: "Yeah."
She considers herself a pragmatic person. She accepted the gifts and the apology. This is what she deserves. As for whether the relationship is good or not, forget it!
No matter how reluctant they were, the young ladies and girls downstairs were all 'invited' up.
Jiang Shangxian didn't care about these "henchmen", after all, she didn't suffer any loss at all.
It's a pity that she doesn't care, but the "henchmen" do!
Why should they be labeled as "gang brawlers"? Most of those who can go out and about are already old enough to be married, and only a few are young. Many are new brides who haven't even established themselves firmly in their husband's family.
No one cares about the younger ones because they are safe with so many older ones leading the way.
"Cui Jiulang, we have received an invitation from your Cui family and have come to attend the banquet. Why did you order people to force us up for no reason?!" The speaker was a married woman, about the same age as Jiang Shangxian, with her hair in a bun. Compared to the others who were like quails and dared not raise their heads, she was considered to be a brave one.
Zhao Yue quietly introduced Jiang Shangxian: "This is the young lady from the Sun family, okay..."
Which row was it? She had forgotten.
Lianhuan took the opportunity to correct him quietly while pouring tea: "Xingba, she married the sixth son of the Wu family at the end of last year."
Now we have to call her Mrs. Wu Liu.
As soon as Qingzhou became the master, she would discuss the firmness of the bed with the male master. As maids, they naturally had to take the lead and write down everything they needed to know and inquire about to avoid any mistakes.
Zhao Yue smiled foolishly, then quickly said, "Both the Sun and Wu families are scholars. Both grandfather and father were teachers at Yuelu Academy."
Yuelu Academy is the largest and most prestigious academy in Qingzhou City. It is well-known throughout the country, and countless people come here to study every year.
She said with a bit of bitterness: "There are so many sour scholars. The young lady in their family is also like this. She likes to show off her knowledge all the time. It's very annoying. Don't pay attention to her. Send her away quickly."
My daughter-in-law is less educated than me, and I'm afraid I won't be able to win the argument if I talk to her.
Jiang Shangxian listened to Sun Banniang's accusations one by one, and looked at the people in the room, some standing and some sitting, each of them thinking about something in their hearts. Suddenly, her thoughts changed.
She was a little unhappy and unwilling to accept it. It was obvious that they were the ones who teamed up to squeeze her first!
Originally she just wanted to get married and then return to Chang'an, but now her son wants to cause trouble.
She looked around and saw that her think tank and thugs were all there, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Well, it shouldn't be a problem!
Mrs. Xia, the top thinker in the Jiang family, once said a famous saying: People must dare to think and act.
Jiang Shangxian thought of his grandmother, who was still so energetic at such an old age, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He looked at Sun Banniang, who stood proudly among the women, and his eyes shone like the colorful lights above the dance floor.
Cui Bianxu had no idea that his wife had reached her rebellious phase and was planning to cause trouble. He frowned and had only one question in mind: "Were you the one who bullied my wife just now?"
Among his wife's two maids who came with her as a dowry, he was only familiar with Yingzi. He knew that this girl sometimes had a serious illness in her head. When he asked her to point out the people who bullied Jiang Shangxian, she actually brought up so many people.
Xiao Cui seriously suspected that the bullying he was talking about was different from the bullying in Yingzi's mind.
Could it be that this girl thinks that glaring at Jiang Shangxian twice is bullying?
You know what, that’s exactly what Yingzi thought!
Madam Wu Liu felt her breathing tighten. She looked at Zheng Bojiang, who sat at the top of the table. He had a righteous expression on his face, as if he was unyielding and mighty. "Although our Wu family isn't as prestigious as the Cui family, it's also a clan with a history of over three hundred years. As one of the Five Families, the Cui family is a model for all clans in the world. We should behave like a great family and behave like gentlemen. How could you insult someone's innocence like this?"
She said that Jiang Shangxian was defeated, but she didn't think she was wrong, nor did she think she was bullying anyone.
Men can't see through Jiang Shangxian's pretending to be honest, but she can see it clearly!
Zheng Bojiang looked embarrassed but secretly happy in his heart. Look, even if you, Cui Bianxu, are a tyrant, there are always people who still have integrity and will not succumb to your tyranny.
Her eyes were filled with encouragement, urging Madam Wu Liu to continue, to make the storm even more violent, but she said, "Don't be angry, Ba Niang. Jiu Lang is young and hot-tempered. He just heard that Madam Jiang was bullied and beaten, so he got angry in the moment. I asked you to come up just to ask..."
She glanced at Jiang Shangxian with some disapproval and said nothing more.
