After a night of north wind, it was completely cold.

An Tong was more afraid of the cold than before, not only wearing a three-layer jacket, but also wearing thick pants under the skirt.If she was at home, the coals must be burning hot.Fortunately, An's family has a rich background and has enough coal for her to squander.

Second Uncle An's new mansion in the county was also repaired and cleaned, and on the [-]th, he held a housewarming banquet for moving into the new house, and invited many relatives and friends.An Tong, who didn't want to go out, was taken to the county town by An Lizheng and Li Jinxiu to congratulate Uncle An.

Seeing An Tong coming, An Lan took her to the new mansion, and left her a room as a place for her to stay in the city in the future.

An Tong pretended to be sad, and said: "Sister has grown up, and she doesn't like to share the bed with me and have long talks."

An Lan said: "Sister, I won't be the one who will share your bed with you in the future!"

An Tong thought that An Lan would always regard Jiang Sheng'an as her future brother-in-law, so she felt powerless. She couldn't tell An Lan that she and Jiang Sheng'an were bound to divorce, right?

But what will happen to her life after she divorced Jiang Sheng'an?She never seemed to think about it.

"Then you can also help me make this place look better! It's so empty, wouldn't it be possible that I won't even be able to cover a quilt when I come here?" An Tong said.

"Sister, why are you so anxious, don't go back tonight, live with me. It just so happens that Dad said that he wants to get some popularity and a prosperous house."

An Tong is shocked, she is someone who has died, don't let the house get popular, but get her bad luck instead.So he hurriedly said: "No, I will go back with my parents tonight, and my bean sprouts will not survive for a day if I don't look at them!"

An Lan looked at her angrily: "Sister, if I go back, I will definitely pull out your bean sprouts, and you will be stupefied."

"You pulled out my bean sprouts, I pulled out your teeth, and made you drink porridge every day!"

An Lan covered her mouth, speaking vaguely fiercely to An Tong.An Tong only heard the word "so ruthless", and she laughed so angry that she poked An Lan's head: "I pulled out your tooth, not only can you only drink porridge, but you also have to act like an old woman." ..."

An Lan ran away like a gust of wind, her elder sister went crazy!

An Tong happily chased after her: "Hey, don't run away, you are the host here, how can you not greet me well?"

An Lan stopped suddenly at the corner, and then called out in a voice that An Tong could hear: "Brother Jiang!"

An Tong also stopped abruptly, and then sighed, it's also expected that Jiang Sheng'an will come here, isn't it?She should have been mentally prepared, why not be uncomfortable!

Jiang Shengan was wearing a crescent white t-shirt, a warm white fox fur, and a round jade pendant around his waist. His overall temperament was just like his image, and he should be like the "modesty gentleman, gentle as jade" that the world has commented on.

Jiang Sheng'an's gaze swept across An Tong's back, and immediately landed on An Tong's body. He smiled: "You are indeed here."

"Brother Jiang is also coming to this garden?" An Tong asked.

"I came with my parents to congratulate Uncle An Er on his housewarming. I heard that you are here, so I came to have a look."

"Brother Jiang, you can do whatever you want." An Lan grinned, and looked at An Tong with a narrow gaze, "But I have already brought my sister to familiarize myself with this place, and I don't have time right now, why don't I ask my sister to show Brother Jiang around?"

However, Jiang Sheng'an raised his finger and pointed behind An Tong, and said: "My mother hasn't seen Xiao Tong for a long time, I think Xiao Tong should go to see my mother first, as for visiting the garden...let the two ladies One of them will do it for you.”

An Tong and An Lan looked back at Ren Cuirou and Shao Ru.In order not to embarrass An Jia today, both of them changed into An Jia's new skirts. Ren Cuirou was dressed in emerald green, just like her lively personality.Shao Ru was dressed in pink, which made her face peachy and charming.

An Lan frowned: "These two are sister's maidservants, they have to serve tea and water with my sister, I'd better let the servants at home do it for me!"

Jiang Sheng'an also frowned, and looked at An Tong with some dissatisfaction: "Maid?"

An Tong didn't know why Jiang Sheng'an suddenly changed his face, she said: "Brother Jiang has seen them, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you only have one maid by your side last time, why is there another one?"

Hearing Jiang Shengan's questioning, An Tong was also very displeased, and Shao Ru hurried forward to explain: "The servant girl should have come to An's house earlier to serve the little lady, but the autumn harvest was delayed for a while. Fortunately, Lizheng and the little lady don't care about it, and the servant girl only entered An's house to work half a month ago."

Seeing Shao Ru's hands were red from the cold, Jiang Sheng'an felt sore, and couldn't help turning his head to ask An Tong: "You never bring maidservants by your side, why do you want to hire maidservants all of a sudden, and you hire two maidservants at once?"

An Tong felt that Jiang Sheng'an was a little baffled, and she was also a little angry, and said, "Brother Jiang thinks that I shouldn't have girls following me?"

Jiang Sheng'an's brows were furrowed even more, An Tong actually dared to get angry at him?Really not a bit of self-cultivation that a lady should have!

"You've changed." Jiang Sheng said in peace, "The former you never knew how to command maidservants, and you always liked to get close to the common people. Why did you suddenly become extravagant and lustful?"

An Lan took a step ahead of An Tong and shouted: "Brother Jiang, how can you say that about my sister, but you just brought two maidservants, how can it be seen as extravagant and lustful? In this way, Brother Jiang, you have book boys and servants by your side. The two of you, are you also extravagant and lustful?"

Jiang Sheng was at a loss for words, and it took a long time before he said, "That's all!"

An Lan has also gotten into a rivalry with Jiang Sheng'an. No matter how much she respected Jiang Sheng'an in the past, in her eyes, no one can bully her elder sister!

"Since they sold themselves to the An family, they are An family's maidservants, you all go to the kitchen to help!" An Lan directed Ren Cuirou to Shao Ru.

Ren Cuirou glanced at An Tong, and saw that An Tong had no other reaction, so she planned to leave: "The servant girl knows."

Shao Ru glanced at An Tong, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Sheng'an.Her eyes are full of autumn water, which makes people hard to miss.Jiang Sheng An Heng came out to stop Ren Cuirou, and said to An Tong: "Is this too much? They are your maids, but you have people drive them to work in the kitchen? I don't know if this is your maids or An The servant girl of the Second Uncle's family!"

An Tong was angry just now, and she fell silent after speaking against Jiang Sheng'an. She had been meditating. There seemed to be something wrong with Jiang Sheng'an today, as if a layer of mask had been torn off, revealing another side of him.

He clearly didn't want to marry her, but when he treated her, he seemed to regard her as his belonging, and had already interfered in her affairs, as if she was already the bride of the Jiang family.

Xu Xiangru was not here, why did he change like this?

Before she could figure out the reason, her thoughts were interrupted by Jiang Sheng'an.Hearing this, she couldn't help saying to Ren Cuirou and Shao Ru: "It seems that I made a mistake in bringing you here."

Ren Cuirou's heart tightened, and she rushed forward and said: "The servant girl thinks that the young lady did nothing wrong! If it weren't for the young lady, the life of the maidservant's family would be difficult."

She glanced at Jiang Sheng'an pointedly again, and continued: "My servant was born as a hunter, and my father often had to risk his life to hunt in the mountains. Sometimes he couldn't catch a single prey in a day, and sometimes he would encounter fierce tigers." , jackals and leopards, their lives are hanging by a thread several times. But he knows nothing but hunting, and his family has no fields or land, so if he doesn’t hunt, he can only starve to death.”

Ren Cuirou's words came from the bottom of her heart, and even a wayward little lady like An Lan felt pity for her after hearing her words.And Ren Cuirou went on to say: "The servant girl originally had an elder brother, but the elder brother was injured by a wild boar when he was hunting in the mountains with his father, and he left within two days. Even the maidservant's daughter had to go to the mountain with my father. Mother lost her brother, why did she want me to enter the mountain too? Is it because they don't love the servant girl?

no!It's because there is no choice, there is only one father, and there are always times when he can't take care of it, and the servant girl also volunteers to help father, this is filial piety, and it is also for livelihood!If it wasn't for the young lady, the servant girl is still laying traps in the deep mountains and old forests, waiting for the prey who doesn't know when it will appear, and doesn't know when it will be full..."

Jiang Sheng'an was ashamed by what she said, but he was not ashamed of An Tong, but said: "It is the imperial court's dereliction of duty to let the common people live so happily."

After hearing Ren Cuirou's words, Shao Ru's eyes were already red, and she said to Jiang Cheng'an, "Lizheng and the young lady are very kind-hearted people, because after the maid arrived at An's house, she was afraid that the mother-in-law would not be taken care of, so the young lady allowed me to take care of her every day. Go home and take care of your mother-in-law."

This was what An Tong came up with after being reminded by Xu Xiangru. Although the wages given by An's family were enough to improve the lives of Shao Ru and Granny Zhang, grandma and grandson, after all, Granny Zhang was too old to take care of her.She simply asked Shao Ru to go back to take care of Granny Zhang every day when she went out to patrol the fields.

Jiang Sheng'an naturally wouldn't know this, he was just secretly annoyed that Shao Ru had kept it from him the last time he went back to see Shao Ru.Although maybe he didn't want to bother him or worry him, but he knew Shao Ru's difficulty, so he should have settled her properly earlier.Now that Shao Ru has signed the contract, it's too late to say anything.

Shao Ru couldn't bear him to misunderstand An Tong, so she deliberately explained to him that she is really a kind-hearted woman!

The movement here quickly aroused the attention of Li Jinxiu and Jiang Gaoshi who were nearby. When they walked over, they saw that everyone in the garden looked a little strange, and the atmosphere was a little frozen.

Seeing that his son was not looking at An Tong, Jiang Gao knew that there was something wrong with the two of them, and seeing Ren Cuirou and Shao Ru looked like they had been crying.She speculated: "Is it because the aunt reprimanded the maid and was upset by Sheng'an's obstruction?"

Li Jinxiu's face didn't change, she knew very well how kind An Tong was to the two maidservants, so why would she reprimand them?It's just that Jiang Gao made malicious speculations about her daughter, but regarded her son as a kind-hearted, humble gentleman who hated evil as much as hatred, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Tong'er is not an unruly and willful person, and she won't scold people until she cries." Li Jinxiu said, considering her daughter's temperament, she cried a lot during the years when she competed with Xu Xiangru!

"Uncle Jiang, Auntie Jiang!" An Lan spotted the two of them and called out.

Li Jinxiu and the two had no choice but to walk towards them, her eyes swept over everyone's faces, while Jiang Sheng'an showed embarrassment and hurriedly saluted them.

"Sheng'an, what's the matter?" Jiang Gao's voice was the first to grab everyone's attention.

"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, and Xiaotong didn't explain it earlier, so I will meddle in my own business."

An Lan was about to speak when Li Jinxiu glanced at her and said, "Lan'er, your mother is looking for you everywhere."

An Lan could only swallow all the words and ran away in a hurry.Li Jinxiu didn't let her speak, otherwise what she said with her temper would definitely make Jiang Gaoshi and Jiang Sheng'an look bad, and it would only make people think that An Lan didn't understand dignity and disrespected the elders.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good to make it clear." Jiang Gao said, holding Li Jinxiu's hand and laughing, "This aunt and Sheng'an have already been engaged to each other, and Sheng'an will help her take care of things. It’s not too much of a nosy, right? It can only be said that their relationship is good!”

Li Jinxiu smiled slightly: "Yes!"

Jiang Gao was afraid that An's family would be angry, so he glared at Jiang Sheng'an again: "Sheng'an, what are you still doing here? The aunt is here, and you don't accompany her, just walk around?"

"I've been shopping just now, and I've been out for such a long time, and I'm a little dizzy from the cold wind, so I want to take a rest in Xiaolan's boudoir." An Tong also had a smile on his face, but compared to Li Jinxiu smiled with ease, but her smile became much stiffer.

"Ma'am, you still have to pay attention to your body!" Jiang Gao said so, and he didn't lose his head and asked Jiang Shengan to send her to An Lan's boudoir.

An Tong took Ren Cuirou and Shao Ru away, and then took a deep breath. She really loved the chilly air, it was much fresher than breathing in front of Jiang Sheng'an!
