Chapter 5 Spring Window Awakens A Merry Dream 2

Jiang Wei looked at the main courtyard carefully. The hanging flower doors in the east courtyard of the long room and the west courtyard of the second room were directly connected to the main room with the third entrance in the main courtyard.

The main house is a spacious courtyard with three pavilions and wing rooms. In addition to the main hall, the inner room of the pavilion on the left is used as a bedroom, and on the right is a simple small study room for daily recreation and calligraphy practice, etc., but most of them are used for writing letters and practicing calligraphy.

It was used by several girls and young men to practice calligraphy, copy books and copy scriptures.

The left wing is used as a night servant.

The wing room on the right is used as a tea room, where melons, fruits and cakes are arranged, water is boiled and tea is made.

Along the way, the stables and carriage houses are all complete, and the Jiang family is one of the best in Yecheng County. It can be seen that this Tang is a shrewd woman with strong stewardship and a good way of making money.

No wonder Jiang Yi respected the Tang family so much. Everyone in the Jiang family did not dare to criticize the Tang family and respected her.

The group of people entered the main hall of the main room, facing the statue of Guan Gong on the top. The Jiang family were military generals, so they were different from other civil servants who worshiped Xingjun, or ordinary people who worshiped the God of Wealth.

There is a mahogany carved four-corner altar table, with an incense top with carved flower and animal faces, two wine cups with the same pattern, fruit cakes, etc.

There are two Taishi chairs and a coffee table in front of the offering table, and two coffee tables and three chairs on both sides, all made of mahogany.

Mr. Tang sat upright on the left side of the Grand Master's chair.

Tang is wearing a maroon color with a round collar and narrow sleeves embroidered with light chrysanthemum and gold longevity patterns. Because Tang feels that she is getting older, the narrow sleeves are not windy. She wears a darker double-breasted jacket of the same color.

Her hair was combed into a smooth and flat bun, and she only wore a red gold crown set with rubies, which was simple yet rich.

Jiang Wu led the eldest son to salute Tang, who offered to sit down. However, there were three chairs in the main seat. Jiang Wu didn't know what to do this time, so she took advantage of her illness and walked slowly to see how they sat.

But the eldest girl supported her considerately and said, "Third sister is not fully recovered yet, so I will support you."

This should be the maid's business, but this elder sister takes care of her younger sister in everything, which is also a good thing for brothers and sisters.

Jiang Wei always followed the principle of going out to check the weather and coming in to check her face. She took a look at Tang's expression and saw that her face remained unchanged. She pursed her lips tightly and did not speak or smile. Her expression was difficult to distinguish.

The eldest girl helped the third girl to sit down on the second chair, and she sat on the first chair. Jiang Shi sat on the third chair, and then Jiang Wei saw two embroidery piers placed behind the chair.

The aunt led the four girls to sit on the embroidered pier.

The status of the aunt is not high, so as a concubine, the fourth girl naturally can only sit on the embroidery pier.

Sitting on the first chair on the right is a man wearing a floral satin with a lake-colored chrysanthemum pattern. He has an oval bun, a hairpin on the right, a red gold flower on the temples on the left, and an emerald hairpin inserted diagonally.

People with Tang syndrome are very similar. They all have round faces. In ancient times, they were called lucky figures. They are completely opposite to the modern slap-faced face with a sharp chin, but they are still round and good-looking.

This should be my aunt Jiang Qing. Logically speaking, as the prefect's wife, she would be extremely glorious. Why is she wiping her tears there with a look of aggrievement on her face?

Sitting behind her was a man wearing a purple-red swastika pattern. Because he could not clearly see the details of his dress, he looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He must have been chased by Zhao Yan. His face was white, and his behavior seemed a bit noble.

However, the contempt and arrogance in his eyes from time to time are clearly visible. It is unpleasant.

Seeing Jiang Wen looking at him, he raised his head with a sneer and said, "How is it? Are you feeling better, little follower?"

Jiang Wei felt that the third girl in the past was too blind to be able to hang out with such people.

Or maybe Zhao Yanzhui has always been like this, and the third girl has been chasing these two brothers and sisters away.

Then there was a bright-looking girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

She is really beautifully dressed. Is she wearing gold and silver because she is afraid that others will not know that she is the daughter of the prefect?

The upper body is made of grosgrain pink gauze half-sleeved placket, inlaid with red gold buckles. These two buckles must be worth a few taels. The inner lining is a light yellow cross-collar embroidered with this gold-threaded floral pattern. The lower body is a pleated horse-faced skirt with a skirt hem of

The light green trim is quite refreshing, but what I don’t understand is why there are some peony patterns embroidered on it. What kind of rich peony patterns were used when I was a teenager? Can they be suppressed?

There is a red gold necklace around the neck, inlaid with southern beads and pearl tassels, and the workmanship is exquisite.

Seeing Zhao Yansui like this, Jiang Er couldn't help but want to see how older girls of the same age dressed up, so she looked sideways at the older girl who hadn't paid much attention just now.

The big girl here is obviously outdone by Zhao Yansui in terms of her clothes. First of all, from the color point of view, Zhao Yansui belongs to the bright color series, which can be found in the crowd at a glance. She is bright and beautiful. While Jiang Wu is light and elegant.

The color is green, and the lower body is just a plain rose skirt. Looking at the headdress, there are two plain silver hairpins inserted at an angle. Is it a bit too monotonous? If some people who don’t know what they are doing see this outfit, they may think it is something unfashionable.

Portal lady dressed up.

There is no makeup on the face, because it was stung by a wasp, and it is still a little red. There is no so-called red lips and white teeth. The lips are the most natural light pink. As for the teeth, they are not visible at all. They are always in a state of dilated lips and no teeth.

However, such a clear soup with little water has a scholarly flavor that cannot be ignored. It is not ostentatious, but has a deep foundation.

Jiang Qing's subordinate is his second aunt Qiu. Qiu is an honest and responsible person without too many bad intentions.

There was only a little boy of about eleven or twelve years old sitting next to Mr. Qiu. He was dressed like Zhou Zheng. Judging from the white and black stripes on his straight skirt, he was actually more luxurious than the eldest grandson Jiang Shi.

.Qiu’s natal family is in business, so the dowry is quite generous.

Didn’t you say that the Qiu family has a son and a daughter?

Why is the second girl, Jiang Mei, not here?

The two young masters of the Jiang family heard that they would practice martial arts with Jiang Lu except at nine o'clock in the morning, and set out to study in the academy at midnight.

Because Mrs. Tang sent a message today that something would be announced today, the two young masters did not have to go to school and sent their servants to the school to ask for leave.

The two young masters naturally did not worry about their sisters' marriage issues. They were naturally happy that they did not have to go to school. The corners of their mouths were slightly raised, revealing their excitement at the moment.

The two people sitting across from each other blinked at each other while the adults were not paying attention.

Jiang Wen looked at it and pretended not to see it. It seemed that even though the relationship between a concubine and a legitimate child was getting along well. This also shows that apart from basic etiquette and principles, the Jiang family did not deliberately suppress their concubines and grandchildren, and they did not suppress their legitimate children.

Sun didn't intend to promote him either.

When everyone gathered and the maids served their teas, everyone's expressions obviously calmed down, because Mrs. Tang was about to start speaking at this moment.

"There have been a lot of things going on recently. For big things, there is a talent show from above. Everyone over the age of fourteen has to participate in the draft. The whole city is a little depressed. For small things, there are three girls who fell and fell, causing the whole family to fall. On happy events, there are older girls.

Marriage with the Cheng family. Regarding the family matter, my daughter-in-law who got married came to me to discuss the matter. As the saying goes, if the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, if you don’t sit high, you won’t be aware of the limelight. Today I will spread the matter here.

Speak, and it’s up to you whether you listen or not.”
