Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 14 Rewards
At the time of Shen Shizheng, sister Zhuang Juyue sent the guests away.

Back at the dealer's house, the girls first went to see Mrs. Zhuang, and Zhuang Qingmei said excitedly, "Old lady, we have met King Jin."

"Why did King Jin go to that mansion?" Mrs. Zhuang asked in surprise.

"I heard from Elder Sister Yue that King Jin was invited by Big Brother." Zhuang Qingmei replied.

"Oh, Brother Zhao is promising." Mrs. Zhuang said indifferently.

"Brother Zhao is so amazing, he was able to invite King Jin here..." Zhuang Qingmei boasted Zhuang Gongzhao endlessly.

"The old lady is tired, girls, please go back." Mrs. Dong interrupted her.

The girls get up and leave.

After leaving the courtyard, Zhuang Qingyan gave Zhuang Qingmei a sideways look, "People are stupid and don't know it."

Zhuang Qingmei lowered her head, hiding the flash of smugness in her eyes, pursed her lips, as if she was unwilling, but did not dare to argue with her sister-in-law, and followed her to the second bedroom's large courtyard.

Zhuang Qingyu and Zhuang Qingchan also went to the big courtyard of the big house, and Jiang Changning took the maid back to his own courtyard.

After walking a certain distance, Fu Cui whispered: "The old lady's face changed when she heard that King Jin was invited by the young master. The fifth girl doesn't have any sharp eyesight, and she is still saying that the young master is great."

"She did it on purpose." Jiang Changning smiled lightly.

"Why are you deliberately angry with the old lady?" Fu Cui was puzzled.

Shu Fei glanced at her, "Think about it."

"If I could think of it, I wouldn't ask." Fu Cui pouted.

"The reason you have a long head is to look taller." Shu Fei dismissed her and said.

Fu Cui replied to her, "If I have no head, wouldn't you be afraid to look at me?"

"You, this mouth is the only one that is powerful." Shu Fei reached out and squeezed her face lightly.

Fu Cui ran to Jiang Changning's other side, and complained: "Girl, look at this person, if he can't talk to him, he beats him."

Jiang Changning smiled, "You two have personal grievances, I don't want to get involved, girl, please resolve it yourself."

The master and servant talked and laughed, and just distracted from the previous question.

On the other side, the old lady Zhuang watched the girls leave silently, sighed faintly, and said, "It would be great if Brother Wen was still here."

Mrs. Dong's expression darkened. Of course it's good that the young master is here, but the young master is no longer there!
She took the beauty in the hand of the little maid and beat her, winked her to back out, sat on the little chair instead of her, and beat the old lady Zhuang's legs, "Old lady, the third young master and the fourth young master are also good."

The old lady Zhuang valued the concubine over the concubine, so there was no need to mention the second and fifth young masters who were born of the concubine.

"Next year will be the year of the Grand Competition. I hope the two brothers can live up to their expectations." Mrs. Zhuang has high hopes for her children and grandchildren, but God doesn't follow her wishes.

"The third young master and the fourth young master will definitely win the toad palace." Mrs. Dong said flatteringly.

The old lady Zhuang sat up, "I'm going to burn incense to the Bodhisattva."

In the main room of Dongkuayuan, Mrs. Zhuang turned it into a Buddhist hall, which enshrines the Guanyin Bodhisattva she invited back from Xiangguo Temple.

In the evening, Jiang Changning packed up and was about to go out to the yard of Mrs. Zhuang.

Caijuan, the eldest girl next to Wu's, came over, "Biao girl, it's hard work to be a guest today, so you don't need to walk back and forth, just stay and eat in the yard."

Jiang Changning smiled as usual and said, "Okay."

Xiulan sent the colored silk out, came in after a while and said, "Fourth Master Ke wants to accompany the old lady for dinner."

Jiang Changning smiled unsurprisingly, and Wu tried every means to prevent her from having too much contact with Zhuang Zike.

This is also one of the reasons why she was rumored to be weak and sick in the dealer.

In fact, there is no need for Wu Shi to treat her like an enemy, she really has no male or female intentions towards Zhuang Zike.

However, this is also good, Wu Shi obstructed it, saving her trouble.

"It's just that the eldest lady thinks it's a sweet pastry, who cares about it." Fu Cui said with a curl of her lips.

"You don't care about it. Someone cares about it. Jiawan treats him like a treasure." Fangju laughed.

On the surface, Jia Wan is the eldest girl lent to Zhuang Zike by the old lady Zhuang, but in fact, Jia Wan is Zhuang Zike's prospective aunt, and everyone in the family knows it well.

Seeing that Jiawan's brows were apart, the old nanny knew that she was already a member of Zhuang Zike.

"That's right, some people like rotten fish and rotten shrimp, and some people dislike delicious delicacies." Fu Cui said.

It's just that some people obstruct it, while others facilitate it.

When Jiang Changning learned from Shu Fei that the old lady Huangsan bought the maid and asked her preferences, he laughed angrily, "She really doesn't give up."

"Toad wants to eat swan meat." Fu Cui said contemptuously.

"Shu Fei, tell them to send people to keep an eye on old lady Huang San and Zhuang Yaozong, and let them suffer the consequences if they dare to use dirty tricks." Jiang Changning calmly ordered.

"Yes, girl." Shu Fei bowed her knees and accepted the order.

The next day, Jiang Changning, Zhuang Qingyu, and Zhuang Qingyan accompanied the old lady Zhuang to watch the birthday gifts brought by the two aunts of the Zhuang family.

The two aunts and wives are both born of concubines, married out of the capital, and they seldom come back throughout the year.

At this time, a woman hurried in to report: "Old lady, there are people coming from the palace. The eldest lady asked the old lady to take the girls to the second gate."

People are coming from the palace!
The old lady Zhuang looked at Jiang Changning subconsciously, did the Queen Mother send someone to pick this girl up?

Jiang Changning's eyelids drooped, he must have been sent by the Queen Mother, what are you doing here?
No need to guess too much, just go out and know.

The servant from the palace brought the things that the queen mother gave to Jiang Changning, and said to Jiang Changning: "The empress told the girl to go to the palace to play when she is free. The empress is thinking about the girl."

"Thank you for your love." Jiang Changning smiled calmly.

Most people would be ecstatic about the Queen Mother's favor.

But Jiang Changning was not happy but worried. The Queen Mother did not necessarily value that life-saving grace.

But he chose to put on this posture, which is obviously for her.

What is Tude?
She is a powerless, orphaned girl without father or mother, who can make the Queen Mother want to...

Jiang Changning raised his hand and touched his face, [-]% because of her beauty.

A beautiful, weak girl with no backing is the most suitable chess piece.

This was something Jiang Changning expected, and he didn't find it difficult to accept.

Before the queen mother showed her fangs, the queen mother was her backer.

All she has to do is to use her backing, accumulate enough capital, and strive to change from a chess piece to a chess player.

Her life is only in her own hands, and she can't help herself!

"Girl, this smoked gauze is light and breathable, it's perfect for a middle coat in summer." Fu Cui raised her voice.

"Then make two for me, and one for the rest of you." Jiang Changning said generously.

"Thank you girl." Fu Cui smiled openly.

"You girl knows how to be greedy and want everything." Shu Fei twisted Fu Cui's waist lightly.

Xiulan said: "Girl, this smoked gauze was given to you by the Empress Dowager. We as servants can wear this fine material, which is beyond our reach."

Fu Cui murmured, "You can't see it if you wear it inside."

"Aren't you going to wash?" The three servant girls glared at her at the same time.

"Who dares to spread the matter in the yard." Jiang Changning said domineeringly.

"Girl, you dote on this girl too much. If you continue to dote on her, she will go to heaven." Shu Fei said.

Under the joint dissuasion of the three maidservants, Jiang Changning had no choice but to withdraw his order.

Fu Cui was not annoyed, and went to the side room to cut some materials with a smile, and made a shirt for Jiang Changning.
