Chapter 683: Husbands Should Learn from the Emperor
When she arrived at the kitchen, she heard Jiang Jinyan's voice and Mrs. Jiang's voice coming from the kitchen.
Jiang Jinyan said, "Mom, how do we cut this?"
"Mom is such a failure. She raised a nerdy son who has never done housework. Look at your dad. He is a teacher outside and a cook at home. His happiest days are when he cooks for mom. Even simple meals are enough to make him happy."
Feng Jingyuan sighed, her son was already 30 years old and still couldn't cut vegetables or cook.
Jiang Jinyan said, "I didn't have the chance to cook before. We had parents at home, so they wouldn't let us go hungry. Outside, we were busy studying, so we ate in the dining hall with everyone. Ruan Ruan and my second sister didn't like to cook, and my fourth brother was even lazier. We brothers and sisters are so happy thanks to our parents' careful care. Thank you for your hard work, mom."
Feng Jingyuan's face was filled with happiness, she didn't feel tired, "Mom has lived an ordinary life, and your father has made great efforts and efforts to take care of you children, so Mom has no regrets. Mom does not pursue wealth and honor, but only hopes to be with your father in peace until old age. It is Mom's blessing to be his wife in this life.
Yan'er, it's useless to just know how to study. No matter how good your political achievements are, it's useless. If there's not a chancellor like you in the world, there are still thousands of chancellors."
"Mom, why do you say this? I know my limits." Jiang Jinyan thought his mother was reminding him to be careful.
"You married a good wife who doesn't mind you staying in the study room every day and becoming a nerd." Feng Jingyuan added, "Before Mo'er got into trouble, she would go to the kitchen every day to prepare delicious food for you. She would not allow the help of the cook at home and insisted on doing it herself. She was very happy to make snacks and meals in different ways. But when you were either busy or not at home, she cooked but no one ate it, but she never complained. Mother felt sorry for her, but she would not let anyone say anything and insisted that she did it out of boredom."
Jiang Jinyan never knew this, and he never cared what he ate since he was a child.
Feng Jingyuan lowered her voice again, "Even the emperor can cook for Ruan Ruan. Look at you, the son of a poor scholar, but you are living a life of luxury. In my opinion, you should learn how to be a husband from the emperor."
Jiang Jinyan denied, "The emperor can't cook either. He can only cook noodles at best. Mother is partial to her son-in-law. Why doesn't she ask her son to learn from his father, but to learn from the emperor? He is not a good person. He is just pretending in front of Ruan Ruan."
Feng Jingyuan reached out and hit him, telling him to stop talking nonsense. "He is cooking noodles for his wife. Can you pour a glass of water for your wife? At least he will make your sister happy and accommodate your sister. Can you do that?"
"Who said I can't pour her some water? It's also because Moer always thinks too much and I don't have a chance." Jiang Jinyan added, "I can cook too. I'll start learning how to cook from now on. What dishes does Moer like to eat? Mom, teach me a few of your signature dishes and I'll cook them for her when I get back."
Feng Jingyuan smiled and said, "Loving couples never care about what to eat. As long as a man treats a woman with his heart and makes her feel loved and cared for, she will be very satisfied. Now that her loved ones are gone, we must treat her better and make her feel happy. In short, as long as two people work together with one mind, that's all."
"I understand, son. I won't do it again." Jiang Jinyan replied to his mother with a smile.
Feng Jingyuan smiled and said, "Mother just hopes you won't neglect me."
Jiang Jinyan just felt embarrassed. Did he really ignore her before? Even Xiao Yu could see that he was not at home every day. He really ignored Zhang Yumo.
But sometimes Zhang Yumo was too submissive and considerate, which made him feel a little stressed. He didn't know how to treat her well to repay her care and consideration. After a long time, he thought that she was just like that, and he got used to her taking it for granted.
She was very humble and thought that by marrying him, she was marrying into a high position and she was praising him very much. In fact, he was also an ordinary person. She even hoped that Zhang Yumo would not spend too much energy on him.
According to his mother, Zhang Yumo was so good, so gentle, well-behaved and sensible, and he couldn't let her down.
Feng Jingyuan cooked several dishes herself and prepared exquisite meals in the kitchen. She was afraid that Zhang Yumo would not like the food, so she personally made two dishes that Zhang Yumo liked.
Jiang Jinyan's cooking skills are really not up to par, and he also wants to avoid bringing shame to the Jiang family.
Zhang Yumo listened quietly outside the kitchen. It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched. Mrs. Jiang treated her like her own daughter. These days, she always stayed alone in her room, reading and writing. She used this way to avoid the Jiang family and to avoid embarrassment and being speechless.
"Madam Jiang Young Master." said the palace maid.
Zhang Yumo raised her finger at the palace maid to tell her to be quiet.
The maid lowered her voice and said, "Mrs. Jiang is so kind to the young lady. The young lady is so lucky to marry Mr. Jiang."
Zhang Yumo turned around and walked back, she clenched her fingers. In this life, Zhang Yumo was indeed living a happy life, with a mother-in-law who treated her sincerely. After listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, she could understand Zhang Yumo's thoughts. She was too afraid that this kind of happiness would be short-lived, so she tried her best to please Jiang Jinyan.
Jiang Jinyan couldn't be said to have ignored her, nor did he like her, but she loved Jiang Jinyan much more than Jiang Jinyan loved her, which was why she made herself so humble.
Zhang Yumo had thought it through long ago. She would never live like the Zhang Yumo in this life. If she continued to live like this, she would have to jump into the lake again.
They are actually the same person, but he married her after she jumped into the lake. Before her death, she was already disillusioned with Jiang Jinyan, and she couldn't be shaken by hearing Mrs. Jiang's caring words.
Now that God has given her another life, she will definitely not live only around Jiang Jinyan. She just wants to live a good life for herself.
If she could figure these things out before she committed suicide in her previous life, she would not have jumped into the lake. She would even have protected her grandparents. She only regretted why she figured these out after her death.
Her grandmother had left her a rich inheritance, so she had to protect it well. After checking the accounts that day, she discovered that although the dowry list showed her things, many shops and farms had always been in the hands of the Zhang family. In other words, although they nominally belonged to her, they were actually occupied by the families of her second and third uncles.
Zhang Yumo lived a happy life in this life. She was still immersed in the joy of marrying Jiang Jinyan. Little did she know that many years later, the things her grandmother left for her might have been emptied out by her second and third uncles' families, or even taken away by themselves.
And what about Jiang Jinyan, can he really marry only her for the rest of his life? It is said that men in the Jiang family do not take concubines, but what if they are not concubines, but equal wives, or mistresses.
She believed in Jiang Jinyan's character, but she didn't believe in the character of other women. Although Bai Yuhan had explained the matter clearly, did Bai Yuhan really not like him? Wouldn't he be moved after a long time? Men are unreliable.
No one has as good luck as Mrs. Jiang.
