Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 8
After the people left, Su Jingning's eyes fell on the box in front of her, and she felt that it looked familiar for no reason.

Reaching out to open the lid hesitantly, the things inside came into view.

There are not only round fans, silk flowers and other things for girls, but also some clay figurines, spinning tops, travel notes and so on, which fill the whole box.

Su Jingning flipped through it a few times, and became more and more suspicious.

Finally, as if to prove something, she suddenly pulled these things away.

A small three-story mahogany box was revealed inside.

She opened it with trembling hands. On the first floor was a white jade kite half the size of a palm and exquisitely crafted. On the second floor was a small golden crossbow shining with golden light. crown.

Su Jingning lightly brushed the leaves and flowers on the wreath, and tears blurred her eyes again.

It turned out that her father specially prepared these for her!

I remember that on the day when she just came back from the last life, there was such a box in the house where she lived, and these things were opened when she opened it.She liked it very much after seeing it, especially the three things in this small box, which she always took out to play with from time to time.

Once, Su Jingyue came over as soon as she took it out, stared at these things for a long time before she said indifferently that her father had spent a lot of time collecting them for her, but she just sent them over when she got tired of playing with them. I didn't expect my sister to like it.

So, after Su Jingyue left, she cried and put away her things and never took them out again.

Now that I think about it, she is too stupid, Su Jingyue has always pretended to be quiet and dignified, how could her father give her such things as small crossbows and spinning tops.

It was only when she was playful and always loved to tidy up gadgets when she was a child that her father took the trouble to get her these...

Su Jingning smiled and wiped away her tears.

Today has already had a good start, not only did not offend the grandmother, but also successfully stayed in the Su family and lived in the small courtyard.

Otherwise, if she still lived in the princess mansion like in her previous life, with the snake-like hearts of Cheng An's mother and daughter, she would be slaughtered by others.

Thinking of the clothes that Cheng An's mother and daughter wear today are the same color as their father's...

Oh, what a silent demonstration!

The usual trick!

Unfortunately, she is no longer that sensitive and fragile Su Jingning...

Su Jingning picked up the small box and was about to take it back, but she saw an envelope under the box.

Opening it curiously, there is a 1000 tael bank note inside.

There was a warmth in her heart immediately.

When I got back to Xiaokuayuan, Nianqing greeted me.

"Miss, this servant is going to look for you, the house is packed, go in and have a look!"

Su Jingning nodded, handed her the box in her hand, and told her to put it away before sending someone to bring back the big box from Fenghe Courtyard.

Nian Qing agreed, and said that Nanny Jiang had come and was sitting in the ear room.

After hearing this, Su Jingning went there.

Seeing that she came back with only two big maids, Mrs. He called two more from her yard, thinking that Nanny Jiang was here to see her off.

Su Jingning went into the ear room, and sure enough, she saw two [-]- and [-]-year-old maidservants following behind Madam Jiang.

After seeing the ceremony, Mother Jiang smiled and said, "This servant is here to give Miss San a gift."

Su Jingning smiled and said, "I'm sorry, mother."

Mother Jiang hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

Afterwards, I introduced two people to Su Jingning, first pointing to the handsome one, "This one is called Danyun", and then pointing to the other one with thick eyebrows and big eyes, "This one is called Feishuang."

Seeing Su Jingning nod her head, Mother Jiang said pointingly again: "These two girls are born at home, and this maid thought that you haven't returned home for a long time, and it would be cheaper for these well-informed servants to pick them up. I don't know if it suits you or not."

Su Jingning's thoughts changed slightly, but she didn't show it on her face, she just thanked her sincerely: "Mother, don't worry, the person you picked is very appropriate."

Mother Jiang smiled and narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and asked the two girls to kowtow to Su Jingning.

After the two of them were settled, Su Jingning went to let Mother Jiang,
"Please sit down, mother, just to taste the tea I brought back from Taixing Mansion."

However, Mother Jiang waved her hand and declined, "Miss San's favor is taken by the servant, but it's getting late, and the old lady is still waiting for the servant to return to her life, so it's not good to wait any longer."

Su Jingning hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, it's natural that the business is important, so I won't keep Mammy any longer."

As he spoke, he summoned Nianyu to enter the house, took a bundle from her hand and handed it to Mother Jiang, "This is a specialty from Taixing Mansion, you can take it home and eat it fresh."

Mother Jiang repeatedly declined and said "no way".

Su Jingning persuaded: "Sister, don't refuse, first, I will trouble you when my mother is here, and Jingning is just showing her heart at this time!"

"Your maidservant just did her duty, she can't be like Miss San." Nanny Jiang shook her head, and after a while she took the burden into her hands, "Servant maidservant accepted it with the audacity to accept it."

After seeing off Mother Jiang, Nianyu went up to help Su Jingning.

"Miss, according to your instructions, there are only medicinal materials such as Gan Qi and Huang Qi in the package, and there are no valuable things."

Su Jingning nodded, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Nianyu's hesitation to speak.

"What? Can't figure it out?"

Nian Yu nodded honestly, "I don't understand, this servant knows that we are trying to win over Mother Jiang, so why don't we just send some valuable things?"

Su Jingning laughed, "Silly girl, gift giving is not just throwing a pile of gold, silver and jewels at it."

Seeing that Nianyu still looked puzzled, she explained again,
"Grandma Jiang is a popular person in front of my grandmother. I don't know how many people in this house are rushing to curry favor with her! And your miss, I came back from the beginning, and I have to give her a big gift before I can gain a foothold. She will how to think?"

Nian Yu suddenly said: "Mother Jiang will feel that Miss has something to ask for."

"Yes, and the request is very serious. Otherwise, what would a young lady like me do to curry favor with her and a nun?"

Su Jingning smiled, "But grandma has always been strict and disciplined. Madam Jiang has been able to stay with her for more than 30 years and she is very honorable. She is a safe and cautious person. If I give her a big gift, it is like giving her a hot potato." , on the contrary, it is difficult for her."

Nianyu's eyes lit up, "So the lady simply gave her some ordinary specialties, which not only makes her feel at ease, but also wins us some favors, which is just right."

Su Jingning smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked, and said approvingly: "That's right, it seems that my girl Yu is quite smart!"

Nian Yu waved her hands in embarrassment when she heard this, and Nian Qing, who had just entered the room, also listened to it, and immediately pretended to be sad and muttered:
"Okay! But let me catch it. Miss is biased. Could it be that only Yu girl is smart, and Qing girl is that stupid?"

Nian Yu pursed her lips and joked: "You are not stupid, you are obviously too smart!"

Nian Qing stuck out her tongue dissatisfiedly, "Don't argue with you, I have business to talk to Miss about!"

As he spoke, he looked at Su Jingning, "Miss, the two maids brought by Madam Jiang have already been settled."

Su Jingning nodded slightly, thinking of what Jiang Nanny said before, she asked again: "Have you found out about their origins?"

Nian Qing nodded, "That Dan Yun is the niece of Nanny Lin next to the eldest lady, and Fei Shuang's father is a shopkeeper of the old lady's dowry shop outside."

Su Jingning understood, this Danyun should be someone who was stuffed by the auntie, and Feishuang was chosen by Mother Jiang herself.

She thought for a while and said: "Observe it for a few days first, and then look at it. You should pay more attention to the other little girls in the yard, and see which one is useful."

Nianqing agreed with both.

Su Jingning said again: "Nianyu will take care of my clothes and jewelry boxes from now on, and Nianqing will take care of going out with me and dealing with the people in the house. This place is no better than my grandparents' house. The only ones I can trust are you two. Remember to be careful when you do things, and don't let people take advantage of the loopholes."

Seeing the seriousness of what their young lady said, the two couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and hurriedly agreed solemnly.
