Chapter 74: Who is more powerful than the other
When Jiang Youzhen woke up from the bed, his mind was still a little confused.
Looking at the empty beam above her, she sat up suddenly.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" Jiang Youzhen was confused. She vaguely remembered that her room had a pink ceiling?
"Erlang, are you awake?" Erya walked into the room and found Jiang Youzhen awake. She quickly came to the bedside carrying a bowl.
"Don't drink anymore in the future. It's inconvenient for you. What if someone finds out? This is the hangover soup that Master Tong asked me to bring. Drink it while it's hot!"
Erya had a sad look on her face, and Erlang's heart finally became wild.
Jiang Youzhen then remembered that he had eaten roasted lamb legs with Tong Huaian yesterday, and seemed to have drunk too much fruit wine.
It turns out that fruit wine also has alcohol content, not just fruit juice. This body can't handle alcohol, and it seems like I'm drunk in the end?
Now when I think back carefully, I still can’t remember what happened afterwards. My head hurts when I think too much about it.
"Second sister, how did I get back?" Jiang Youzhen wiped his face, took the bowl handed to him by Erya and drank it all.
"Yesterday, Master Tong sent someone to tell me that you were drunk and were sobering up at his house. He said he would send you back when you woke up. Later, mother was worried, so she asked father to carry you back."
As they were talking, Shen came in through the door curtain.
"You are so careless. How could you get drunk? You don't know. I was scared when I heard you were drunk yesterday. If you really stayed overnight at the headman's house, you might be exposed."
Shen walked up to Jiang Youzhen and slapped her on the back of her head angrily. This girl is so heartless.
"Just stay overnight! What does it have to do with the headman's family?" Jiang Youzhen curled his lips. What's the big deal?
"Can you be more careful? I'm not allowed to take off your clothes when you stay overnight. Isn't it discovered now?"
At this time, San Ya also walked in. When did this little sister become so stupid? Does she have any awareness of being a girl?
"I can't tell the difference even if I take off my shirt, so what is there to worry about?"
Jiang Youzhen was speechless. Could those maids and servants strip her naked?
And what she was worried about now was not this, but whether she had said anything when she was drunk.
Tong Huaian is such a smart guy, maybe he took advantage of me being drunk yesterday to ask me some secrets?
"I drank too much yesterday, I didn't say anything, right?" Jiang Youzhen asked worriedly.
"You're still worried? We weren't here, so how would we know if you said anything?" Shen rolled her eyes at her, "Anyway, you're not allowed to drink anymore."
Jiang Youzhen nodded. He had a very poor alcohol tolerance in this state. When he was drunk, it would be easy for people to trick him into questioning him. He had to be careful.
“Anyway, you should be more careful next time. If someone finds out…” San Ya also scolded.
"What did you find?" A voice suddenly came and everyone was startled.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief only when Si Ya lifted the door curtain and came in.
Shen thought about it and felt that Si Ya would know about this sooner or later. After all, they were family, and it would not be good to hide it from her. But now was not a good time to talk about this.
Jiang Youzhen quickly changed the subject and turned his eyes to find that his second sister was dressed particularly cutely today.
"Huh? Second sister looks really good today."
Today, the second girl wore a pair of silk lotus flowers with tassels and a pearl flower inlaid with rice-grain beads on her head, and had her hair done in a complicated bun. She was still wearing the new sky-blue fine cotton jacket that she had made earlier, and a pink pleated skirt underneath.
It is delicate and pretty, and looks as fresh as a flower bud.
Erya has been eating well these days, and her face has become a little rosy. Plus, her skin has become a little whiter due to the winter, so she looks like a little beauty!
Speaking of this, Erya blushed immediately, remained silent, and avoided eyes.
San Ya and Siya covered their mouths and laughed quietly.
"Isn't your second sister here to see you today? How could you forget?" Shen said with a smile on her face.
"Oh my! What a bad memory I have." Jiang Youzhen slapped his forehead, "Then why don't you wear that headgear? That one looks good too. Today is a big day."
"It's too ostentatious. We are all farmers. There's no need for that."
As Shen said this, she urged Jiang Youzhen to get up and wash up, saying that a guest would be arriving soon.
Naturally, the second branch of the Jiang family could not hide the fact from the first branch, after all, they lived too close.
It was almost noon and San Ya was cooking red date sugar tea in the kitchen. Fourth Aunt came over to join in the fun while eating melon seeds.
"San Ya! Who is the person you are meeting today? Why haven't I heard about him? Er Ya is old, and probably doesn't like anyone good anymore. Could it be the widower that the Wang family mentioned before?"
Luo spat the melon seed shells everywhere, and San Ya's face darkened when she heard it.
"Fourth Aunt, as an elder, it's not right for you to say this, right? If you don't hope that my sister will have a good marriage, what good will it do you?"
San Ya put down the spatula and took several deep breaths in anger.
"Oh! I'm just saying, after all, Arya is old, isn't this normal?"
"Then who delayed my sister? Otherwise, why would she get married at the age of 18?" San Ya's eyes were red and filled with tears.
"Eh? That's not because of me! That's because of your grandma. If you have the guts, go talk to your grandma."
Mrs. Luo rolled her eyes. She stayed behind on purpose to watch the fun. She wanted to see what kind of family Erya could talk about.
"I think Fourth Aunt is quite free, why don't you go and help Liu Ya? She is a little girl and has endless work to do every day."
A cold voice sounded from behind Luo. Luo turned around and saw that it was Jiang Youzhen. He immediately felt unlucky.
She didn't know why, but she was a little scared of Erlang. Especially when Erlang's cold eyes stared at her, she felt uncomfortable all over.
"Aren't girls supposed to work? Liu Ya is sensible. She doesn't want me to work and is filial to me."
Luo felt a little guilty as he spoke, but he still straightened his chest.
"Aunt Si was also a girl before, have you forgotten? Don't make trouble on such a good day, otherwise I will see if Uncle Si can have a smooth ending.
If I find out that you are making trouble for me, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. I heard that Sanlang and Silang also want to study? I didn't expect that Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt are so rich?"
Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly. There are women like this everywhere. It's so annoying.
Luo suddenly felt guilty and paused while eating melon seeds. "It's... it's the money I borrowed from my mother's family."
"Really? I didn't know Fourth Aunt's family was so wealthy!"
Luo's family and Jiang's family are well matched, and there is not much extra wealth in the family.
It was just that last year, Luo’s eldest brother married a daughter and asked for a dowry of two taels of silver, so he had the money to build a new house.
But it wasn’t a brick house, just some solid blocks of earth.
Everyone in the neighborhood knew about the Luo family selling their daughter last year, no! It was about marrying off their daughter. She suddenly couldn't think of any excuse.
With a cold snort, he twisted his strong waist and walked to the front.
This woman, knowing that there is delicious food at home today, will definitely come to eat and drink for free. Jiang Youzhen curled his lips.
"Third sister, don't be polite when you meet Fourth Aunt next time. Anyway, we barefoot people are not afraid of those who wear shoes, so why should we be afraid of her?"
Jiang Youzhen is now focusing on who is more arrogant and who is more shameless.
