Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 22 Intimidation
The old lady Zhuang said with a smile: "This is Zico, two or three years older than you, ranking fourth in the family."

"Cousin Ke Si." Xie Baoyin heard from her grandmother that the brothers on the dealer's side were all older than her.

After the four of them greeted Mrs. Zhuang and said hello, they took their seats.

The old lady Zhuang asked Xie Zhang, "Are your grandparents in good health?"

"Aunt and grandma miss Lao, my grandparents are all in good health," Xie Zhang said.

The old lady Zhuang asked Lu Pingxu again, "Master, uncle, do you still get up early every morning to practice?"

Many years ago, she went to Fengtian with Mrs. Zhuang, and met Lu's eldest brother, General Lu.

Lu Pingxu said with a smile: "Practice every day, it is said that one day does not practice three days."

The old lady Zhuang chatted with a few people for a while, and then asked Zhuang Zike to take Xie Zhang and Lu Pingxu to the front yard.

In the evening, Jiang Changning and the girl from the Zhuang family came to the yard of Mrs. Zhuang.

Speaking of Nian Geng, Xie Baoyin is younger than Jiang Changning and older than Zhuang Qingyan.

Lu Xiuju is the youngest, three months younger than Zhuang Qingmei, just turned 13 years old.

When Jiang Changning heard Lu Xiuju's name, his heart skipped a beat.

Zhuang Qingmei did exactly what Jiang Changning expected, "Sister Ning, I remember that you have a maid named Xiulan next to you, right? This is a taboo for sister Xiuju, you should change the maid's name quickly."

Jiang Changning chuckled, "Although I knew that the fifth younger sister didn't care about reading, I didn't want the fifth younger sister to not even know the same word for beautiful embroidery and delicate beauty."

"Of course I know it's not the same word, but they all sound the same," Zhuang Qingmei said.

Jiang Changning laughed again, "Fifth sister, avoiding taboos also avoids homonyms, not homonyms."

Xie Baoyin pulled Lu Xiuju who was hiding behind her, Lu Xiuju shrank back, Xie Baoyin had no choice but to say: "It's okay to have the same word, you don't need to be so particular about it."

They are not the serious masters here, but if they stay for a few days, they will make people think they are too domineering.

Xie Baoyin glanced at Zhuang Qingmei, this person who is afraid of chaos in the world should not be close friends.

Lu Xiuju nodded, and whispered: "No need to change."

Seeing Lu Xiuju's timid and cowardly appearance, Jiang Changning frowned slightly. Is this really the daughter of a military general who has made great military exploits?
Just like her, it's okay if she is not selected, but if she is selected, it will be a dead end in the palace.

In the evening, after eating food and sitting for a while, the girls got up and left.

Mrs. Wu cleared out Erjin's yard not far from Mrs. Zhuang's yard and gave it to Xie Baoyin and Lu Xiuju to live in.

Originally, she thought they would not live long, and wanted to stuff them in the girls' yard casually.

After being scolded by Mrs. Zhuang, she hurriedly cleaned it up and prepared her servants.

The next day, Xie Baoyin learned that the Zhuang family invited an aunt who came out of the palace to teach the girls in the mansion the etiquette rules, so she had an idea in her heart.

She went to ask Mrs. Zhuang, "Aunt and grandma, you also know that Juzi and I went to Beijing for the draft, but in Fengtian, there is no way to ask any aunt or nanny to teach us. Our eyes are really smudged."

"Son, don't worry. I'll ask Aunt Peng about this matter. As long as she is willing to teach, you and Juzi will learn." Mrs. Zhuang knew that she couldn't evade, so she simply formed a good relationship.

Aunt Peng made another favor for Jiang Changning, so she had two more people to teach.

There is no problem with Xie Baoyin's etiquette, but Lu Xiuju gave Aunt Peng a headache, "Don't bend over, straighten up."

"Don't squint at people."

"Don't stretch your neck, shrink it."

"Sit tight and don't shake."

"Stand openly, don't go behind others."

Under Aunt Peng's teaching, Lu Xiuju became much more generous.

Seeing the changes in Lu Xiuju, Xie Baoyin deeply felt that it was right to go to Beijing earlier, and it was right to ask Mrs. Zhuang to learn etiquette from Aunt Peng.

On this day, Xie Baoyin specially thanked Jiang Changning, "Sister Ning, thank you."

"Thank me?" Jiang Changning was puzzled, "Why thank me?"

"Aunt Peng." Xie Baoyin reminded.

Jiang Changning smiled, "Maybe Aunt Peng came here for me, but I have no right to decide what she does. It is Aunt Peng who is willing to teach you, and the person you should thank is Aunt Peng."

"Aunt Peng should thank you." Xie Baoyin looked at her, "But if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't even be able to see Aunt Peng."

Jiang Changning looked at her for a moment, "Let's make an agreement."

Xie Baoyin nodded, "OK."

"As long as you are rich, don't forget each other." The two said in unison.

After chatting, Xie Baoyin left, and Jiang Changning silently served a cup of tea.

If Xie Baoyin is willing to abide by this agreement, she will not forget it.

At noon, Jiang Changning finally stopped Zhuang Qingmei, who was full of joy.

She grabbed Zhuang Qingmei's hand, "Come on, Fifth Sister, let's have a chat."

"What are you talking about?" Zhuang Qingmei was dragged to the corner of the corridor by Jiang Changning.

Fang Ju and Fu Cui stopped Zhuang Qingmei's two maidservants without leaving a trace.

Jiang Changning pressed Zhuang Qingmei on the pillar, "Fifth Sister, your swollen hand is healed, so forget about the pain, right?"

"Let me go." Zhuang Qingmei struggled.

Just when Zhuang Qingmei was about to break free, Jiang Changning pulled out the golden ganoderma hairpin and pressed it against Zhuang Qingmei's throat.

The slightly cool touch made Zhuang Qingmei shiver. She didn't dare to move any more, and asked with a smile, "Sister Ning, what are you doing?"

Jiang Changning sneered, "Zhuang Qingmei, I've tolerated you for a long time, but I don't understand. My surname is not Zhuang, and I have no conflict of interest with you. Why are you staring at me all day long?"

"Sister Ning, I was wrong, I will never dare again." Zhuang Qingmei shrank back, opening the distance between her and the golden hairpin.

"I don't believe what you say." Jiang Changning didn't intend to let her go so easily.

Zhuang Qingmei felt that the golden hairpin was pressing down and was about to pierce her skin, so she hurriedly said: "I swear, I swear, if I continue to be a villain, I will die a terrible death. , there are no bones left."

"You swear, if you dare to mess with me again, you will be lonely, riddled with diseases, and live a long life." Jiang Changning's tone was calm, and every word was serious.

Zhuang Qingmei was stunned, she never knew that Jiang Changning could say such vicious words.

"Say it." Jiang Changning worked hard.

"I'll say it." Zhuang Qingmei hurriedly repeated what Jiang Changning said in fright.

"Zhuang Qingmei, remember what you said, you have to know your mistakes, and there is a god in your head." Jiang Changning inserted the golden hairpin back into the bun, "You can do it yourself."

Jiang Changning let go of Zhuang Qingmei, turned around and called two maidservants to leave.

Looking at Jiang Changning's slender back, Zhuang Qingmei took a deep breath.

For a moment just now, she felt that Jiang Changning really wanted to insert the hairpin down her throat.

Jiang Changning's eyes are so scary!
After scaring Zhuang Qingmei's Jiang Changning, he was in a good mood and drank half a bowl of soup at noon.

Fang Ju saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.

　Save it, beauties!
