Bondage

Fuhetang is the courtyard of Mrs. Jiang, and it is the most honorable place in the entire Chengyanghou Mansion.It is located in the middle of the Hou Mansion, not only in the best position but also in a very large area.Although the younger generation in the Hou's mansion would come to Dingsheng every day, it is rare to see such a scene where the two branches of the East and the West and the two houses are exhausted.

Song Wan, as the grandson-in-law of the Hou Mansion, needs to help her mother-in-law to manage such an occasion, so she arrives first.

As soon as he entered Mrs. Jiang's courtyard, he bumped into other concubines from the Hou's mansion who came to pay their respects.

Mrs. Jiang saw the handsome boy and the cute and cute girl in the house, she couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of her heart, she called Song Wan and asked a group of girls and boys to come to her and introduce them to her one by one.

"The kid who is the leader is Yi'er's younger brother Jiang Yan, who is only two years younger than Yi'er. This kid is obedient and courteous, but he is never mischievous like other kids."

"The youngest one is Jiang Ang. He just turned ten years old this year, so he is considered an adult, but he is no better than his two elder brothers, Wenxiu."

"These three girls are your third younger sister, fifth younger sister, and sixth younger sister. You will have more time to take them with you in the future. If you develop a submissive and soft temperament like yours, I will feel at ease."

Song Wan smiled and agreed, and then went to see Jiang Xingjian's younger siblings.

She used to be a widow and couldn't see the male family members in the mansion, so the old lady and Madam Jiang spared her the time of day and night, so she married into the Hou's mansion for six years, and she didn't know Jiang Xingjian's younger brothers and sisters very well. Jiang Yan was the only one who met him for the first time.

Jiang Yan is two years younger than Jiang Xingjian, and it is said that he has reached the age of the crown, but the old lady did not hear his name just now, presumably it is because his birthday has not yet arrived.

"Greetings to sister-in-law."

"Second brother, third sister, fourth brother, fifth sister, sixth brother Ann."

Song redeemed the gift, and signaled to Hengwu to bring a large plate of lacquered mother-of-pearl mother-of-pearl, and distributed the auspicious objects on it to several people one by one.

When Jiang Yan took the red seal, he looked up at Song Wan and quickly lowered his head.

All the masters in the house were having a lively conversation, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, Song Wan looked out, it turned out that it was Jiang Xingjian who brought Lin Jiayue to Fuhe Hall.

What Lin Jiayue was wearing was her light coral brocade embroidered silver skirt.The color of the skirt was elegant, and the matching jewelry was mainly light and clean. Although it looked elegant, it did not match Lin Jiayue's age.

Although the children were young, they were born in the rich and noble family of princes, they were different from ordinary people, they were already governors when they were seven or eight years old, and when they saw the two of them coming, one of them stopped talking.

Lin Jiayue didn't care about the scene where she was left cold, and she walked up to Mrs. Jiang and smiled docilely.Jiang Xingjian also seemed to intend to let her get closer to the old lady, so she sat in front of her and accompanied her.

Impatient to see the behavior of these two people, Song Wan took Heng Zhiheng Wu back to the door, quietly admiring the flowers and plants in the old lady's room.

"Sister-in-law."

Song Wan looked up and saw Jiang Yan standing beside her, she smiled slightly and gave up the position beside her.

Jiang Yan didn't move, and stopped a step away from her.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was Zhuang Mingmei, with starry eyes like anger, Jiang Yan felt that the blood in his whole body was scorching hot, and the turbulent surge made his hands tremble slightly.

It's just that he has always been restrained, and the excitement flowing in his bones and blood is suppressed in the bottom of his heart, only shallowly turned into two words lingering on the tip of his tongue.

"Sister-in-law..."

Song Wan smiled and nodded, with an obvious alienation in his demeanor.

Jiang Yan didn't care either, he turned his gaze away from Song Wan, but his voice was still unrecognizably hoarse: "My younger brother should also get his name this year, and I just thought of Yuchi in the past few days. I don't know what my sister-in-law thinks?"

Song Wan was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Jiang Yan would mention this to her.

"Late?"

She repeated softly, Jiang Yan's heart was shocked, and then he showed an extremely restrained smile.

"What are the second brother and my wife talking about?"

Jiang Xingjian didn't know when he walked up to the two of them. He looked down at Jiang Yan, secretly thinking that the other party had changed a lot.

When he left the mansion, Jiang Yan was only twelve or thirteen years old. Although he was young and mature, he was far less magnanimous than he is today.

He was wearing a purple-gold tunic with arrow sleeves, Hunan-colored court boots, and black hair tied up with silver hairpins. He looked exceptionally neat and handsome.It's just that the complexion is too pale, and the person is a little thin.Although at first glance, there is a kind of gentle and elegant scholarly atmosphere, but Jiang Xingjian can see a bit of ambition and inexplicable fanaticism in his black eyes.

"Your face is red, is it because you feel unwell?"

Jiang Xingjian raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression indifferent.

Jiang Yan bowed slightly: "Brother Lao is worried, my brother is fine, it's just that there are too many people in the room and I come here to get some air."

The two spoke calmly and looked like brothers and sisters, but Song Wan suddenly thought that if Jiang Xingjian had not returned, the status of Marquis of Chengyang would definitely fall on Jiang Yan, but now it is absolutely impossible.

When she thought that there might be scenes of rivalry between brothers in the mansion in the future, she felt a bit boring.

"Sister-in-law and uncle talk first, and I'll help mother prepare meals."

Song Wan didn't want to greet them, so she led the nurses and maids to the inner hall.Mrs. Jiang was in the room with Mother Jiang and Lin Jiayue. Mother Jiang looked at Lin Jiayue's dress and was angry and anxious.Her ancestors were military generals, and she seldom learned any manners and etiquette since she was a child, and she developed a temper after marrying into the Hou's mansion, not as calm as Mrs. Jiang and Song Wan.

She glanced at Lin Jiayue, and asked coldly: "The old lady gave you clothes, why did she snatch Wan'er's clothes?"

Lin Jiayue didn't know what clothes were made of, and guessed that the clothes she was wearing should have some origins.She just wanted to prove that in Jiang Xingjian's heart, she was more important than that vain wife. As for Mrs. Jiang and Jiang's mother, she never thought of offending her.

So Lin Jiayue apologized and said with a smile: "Of course the clothes Mrs. Jiang sent are very good, but I don't fit them well, brother Xing Jian helped me find a new set."

"In front of the old lady, you and I are one by one. I don't know what kind of rules are raised by others."

Jiang's mother frowned and looked at Lin Jiayue, her heart became more and more panicked. The maid beside her saw that her master was dissatisfied, so she stepped forward and said, "I can't blame Miss Lin. Naturally, she comes from a small family and doesn't understand the rules of our house. Madam, don't worry, the servant girl was also so reckless and ungrateful when she first entered the mansion, and she will be able to find a mother to teach her in the future."

Lin Jiayue lost her smile for a whole day, and couldn't bear to listen to these words now. She looked at the maid and sneered: "Although my family is not a famous family, but it is also a hermit family in China. If you haven't heard of it, it's okay." It's normal, but I can't bear the word "small door and small family."

When she said this, Song Wan was coming to the inner hall. She was still dressed in simple and elegant clothes, but she was full of dignified temperament, which was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Lin Jiayue looked depressed, but thinking that this person was also a victim of the feudal era, the grievances in her heart dissipated a little.

She took a deep breath and said with a smirk: "My family specializes in all kinds of strange skills, which are helpful to scholars, farmers, businessmen. Jiang Xingjian invited me to the Hou's Mansion because he knew how powerful I was and deliberately Ask me to come here."
