Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 223
At the gate of the backyard, Jiang Zhixia just took a breath and wanted to sit on the stool next to him to rest, but another gorgeously dressed lady came over.

"Mrs. Chu." A woman in her thirties brought a young lady in her teens to greet Jiang Zhixia.

Jiang Zhixia hurriedly returned the gift, but he didn't know which wife it was.

She looked at Madam Wang who was assigned to her by Mrs. Cheng Enhou.

Seeing her wink, the nanny was about to speak in detail.

I saw the woman behind, but it turned out to be an acquaintance Wei Wei who Jiang Zhixia had met once and said with a smile: "This is our Grandma Li."

"Oh. Grandma Li." Jiang Zhixia understood immediately.This is the lady from the former servant's family who sold it to me as a dowry farm.

Thinking back then, I still had a good impression of Grandma Li who sold her as a dowry to her natal family in times of crisis.

Although from Jiang Zhixia's point of view, this approach is not very smart.

After all, the output of the farm is year after month.Even if the harvest may be reduced due to bad weather, that's still better than selling it directly for the little money.

"Our wife's surname is Liu." Mother Wang hurriedly explained beside Grandma Li calling Jiang Zhixia as Mrs. Chu.

After hearing this, Grandma Li looked at Nanny Wei in embarrassment.

Back then, when we bought the farm, Mammy Wei said that this Miss Jiang was engaged, and that she was surnamed Chu.Could it be that they changed their marriage?

Nanny Wei was also a little at a loss.

At that time, what she heard in the government office was that this girl Jiang was going to marry a lieutenant named Chu.

Now, Miss Jiang's hair is coiled like a woman's head, so she must be married.

Their Li family was not considered a wealthy family, so they followed the post from the Ministry of Industry Minister's family.

After entering, I found Jiang Zhixia as an acquaintance, so I hurried over to say hello.Unexpectedly, the greeting was wrong?

Seeing their embarrassment, Jiang Zhixia knew that their family probably hadn't gotten any news yet.

So he quickly explained: "My husband's original surname is Chu. He is a lost child of Cheng Enhou's family. He only recognized his ancestor and returned to his family in the past few days."

Nanny Wang also knew that she was wrong. This must be someone Madam knew before, so she just said that directly, so it would be easy to cause misunderstanding.

Therefore, she hurriedly apologized with a smiling face.

Those who don't know are innocent, so everyone naturally laughed it off.

Because another guest came, Jiang Zhixia handed Grandma Li to the servants to lead her to the flower hall.

She went on to meet other guests.

Then Grandma Li went to the flower hall with the mother of Cheng Enhou's mansion.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, the young lady who was following Grandma Li finally asked, "Elder Sister, who is that Mrs. Liu?"

Grandma Li then told her in detail about her relationship with Jiang Zhixia because of buying and selling farms.

At the end, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect her life to be so good. I was grateful when I saw her speak for me that day, and thought of selling the food to her for 1000 taels cheaper. Unexpectedly, she now Now she has become the wife of the eldest son of the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion. It really is true that the world has changed, one time and another time."

The young lady beside her had drooping eyes and a complex expression.

Grandma Li finished feeling, but didn't say much.

I just thought about finally being able to enter Cheng Enhou's mansion today, wondering if I could see Mrs. Cheng Enhou and beg her to pass a message to the empress?
She didn't ask for anything else, she just hoped that the emperor would pardon her family's inability to participate in the imperial examination for three dynasties.

For a literati family, even if they saved their lives, but could not take the imperial examination, what hope did the family have?
On the side of the second prince, what he saw was not going to work, so he could only pin his hopes on the side of the empress.

Thinking of this, she sighed deeply again.

Daddy can be an official, won't he?Why do you need to stand in line early?
Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't know that Grandma Li was thinking about seeing Mrs. Cheng Enhou, so she continued to see guests busy.

She couldn't relax until the luncheon was over and everyone went to the hall and various flower halls to drink tea and digest their food.

She took Ruolan and Xiaoman to walk slowly in the back garden to digest food.

As he was walking, he was suddenly stopped by a girl.

With a flash of figure, Ruolan immediately stood in front of Jiang Zhixia.

"Mrs. Liu, I am Grandma Li's younger sister, and my surname is Tian." The girl first introduced herself.

Jiang Zhixia relaxed when he heard that she was Grandma Li's younger sister.

"Miss Tian is looking for me, what's the matter?" She asked kindly.

"I heard from elder sister that you bought her dowry farm, right?" Miss Tian hesitated for a while before asking.

"Exactly." Jiang Zhixia didn't know Miss Tian's intentions, and was very puzzled.

"My eldest sister sold the farm to you at a discount of 1000 taels. Should you pay back this favor?"

Seeing that Jiang Zhixia admitted it, Miss Na Tian spoke up bluntly.

? ? ? ? ?

Jiang Zhixia's head was full of question marks.

How can I owe a favor to buy a farm?What's more, how can she take advantage of 1000 taels?

"Miss Tian, ​​I'm afraid she made a mistake? I didn't buy the farm for 1000 taels cheaper. It was just a normal bargain at that time."

Although confused, Jiang Zhixia explained in detail.

"You're talking nonsense. Don't you admit it when you become Mrs. Cheng Enhou Shizi? My elder sister said that I sold it to you at a discount of 1000 taels."

When Miss Natian saw Jiang Zhixia's denial, she cried loudly in anger.

Jiang Zhixia was head-on when he heard an angry 'shut up' voice.

When she looked up, she saw Grandma Li who was rushing over.

After Grandma Li arrived, she hurriedly apologized to Jiang Zhixia: "Madam Liu, I'm sorry. My little girl has been spoiled at home since she was a child. I offended Madam Liu by speaking out, please forgive me."

Because of her eagerness, Grandma Li was sweating on her forehead in the cold weather.

When she was talking to other wives, she turned her head and found that the younger sister was gone.She was afraid that her younger sister would get into trouble, so she hurriedly searched for her.

It was only under the guidance of the servants of Cheng Enhou's mansion that they found this place.

Sure enough, it was still an accident.

"Sister, I'm not talking nonsense. You gave her a discount of 1000 taels. She is now the wife of Shizi. Let her intercede for us."

Miss Tian shouted anxiously from the side.

Not being able to take the imperial examination is a big deal.After the three dynasties, even if the imperial examination is passed, will there still be a place for her Tian family in the court?

"Shut up." Grandma Li's forehead was sweating even more, she looked at Jiang Zhixia's indifferent expression, she became cruel, and slapped Miss Tian on the cheek.

Immediately, Miss Tian was stunned.

"I wanted to give Mrs. Liu a cheap price. But Mrs. Liu confiscated it. We are just a normal business. No favors are involved. Stop talking nonsense."

Grandma Li looked at the weeping younger sister, but she could only speak cruelly.

Jiang Zhixia watched the farce, not knowing what to say.I'm just glad that I was still sober at the time and didn't take advantage of that.

Otherwise, she would have really sung along to this drama of begging for favors.

Grandma Li took the weeping Miss Tian, ​​apologized to Jiang Zhixia in a hurry, and left.

Jiang Zhixia shook her head, she was not interested in continuing to digest, and she also turned around and walked to the flower hall with the people.
