Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 23 Farewell
In the afternoon, Jiang Changning finished learning the rules and came back to take a bath.

She took a shower and sat in front of the dresser freshly dressed.

Fang Ju walked in, murmuring something.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry?" Jiang Changning asked with concern.

"No one made me angry, girl, I heard something." Fang Ju took the jade comb from the handmaiden and helped Jiang Changning comb his hair.

Jiang Changning smiled, "No wonder I haven't seen you all afternoon, I'm probably going to listen to gossip."

Fang Ju giggled, and said in a low voice, "Fifth Miss has taken a fancy to the guest who lives in the mansion."

"Lu Pingxu." Jiang Changning picked out a hosta with orchid heads from the jewelry box, and handed it to her.

Fang Ju's eyes widened, "Girl, you've heard of it."

"No, I guessed it." Jiang Changning smiled.

"Girl guesses right." Fangju inserted the magnolia hairpin into Jiang Changning's hair bun, "I thought she would fall in love with Master Xie, but I didn't expect to fall in love with Master Lu."

"How do you know she didn't like it?" Jiang Changning asked sarcastically.

Fang Ju was taken aback, and thought for a while, "She has a crush on both of them, but Young Master Xie didn't see her, and Young Master Lu has a crush on her."

"Puchi..." Jiang Changning was amused by her, "A girl looks like a man, and a boy looks like a girl. They are really good matches, but Lu Pingxu doesn't like her."

Although Lu Pingxu is also a concubine, General Lu has no legitimate sons.

Also, his aunt let him escort her daughter to the Beijing draft, which shows that she trusts him very much. Lu Pingxu should exist like a aunt in the Lu family.

Fangju seemed to understand but didn't understand, and Jiang Changning didn't explain much.

In the early morning, Jiang Changning went to greet Mrs. Zhuang, passing by the garden, and met Zhuang Zike.

Zhuang Zike was holding a pot of flowers in his hand, which was a pot of calendula with orange flowers.

"Sister Ning, do you think this flower looks good?" Zhuang Zike asked.

"It's pretty." Jiang Changning smiled, "Is Fourth Brother Ke going to send flowers to the old lady?"

This road is obviously not going to Mrs. Zhuang's yard. Jiang Changning asked this on purpose. She is very disgusted with Zhuang Zike's frequent running to the inner house.

"The flowers are for Sister Ju. It's the first time that Sister Orange has been away from home for so long, and she is depressed all day. Sending flowers to her makes her happy." Zhuang Zike said.

"Fourth brother Ke is really considerate, send it over quickly." Jiang Changning said with a slight smile.

It's great that Zhuang Zike made a substitution.

On the fourth day of June, the Weaving Office sent someone to bring over Xiu women's clothes, a set of light blue and a set of light pink.

Along with the dress, there is also a box of colorful palace flowers.

Instead of learning etiquette from Aunt Peng, Jiang Changning prepared a big gift for Aunt Peng, "These days, let Auntie worry about it."

"Young lady is too polite. It is a slave servant's honor to serve her. You are a blessed person, and you will be safe and successful in the future." Aunt Peng sincerely wished.

Although Jiang Changning was not close to her these days, she knew that it was Jiang Changning who gave the money to prepare delicious meals for her in the kitchen, as well as her favorite silver leaf tea.

"I hope to see Auntie again one day." Jiang Changning has a good impression of Aunt Peng and is willing to give her some trust.

"My servant thinks there will be such a day." Aunt Peng said with a smile.

That afternoon, when Aunt Peng left the dealership, Mrs. Zhuang asked her tentatively, hoping that she could stay.

Aunt Peng declined, and Mrs. Zhuang gave her 100 taels of silver with some polite words.

After leaving the dealer, Aunt Peng went to report to her master.

Her master is not the Empress Dowager, nor the Princess Runan, but King Jin.

Chang Youzhong saw her, "I'm back."

"Yes, please inform me." Aunt Peng smiled.

Chang Youzhong turned around and went into the study, "My lord, Peng Shaoping is back."

King Jin put down the book of war in his hand, "Let her in."

Although Aunt Peng has sent a lot of news over the past month or so, he still wants to hear her talk in detail.

"My lord." Aunt Peng greeted King Jin, "Ms. Jiang is extremely intelligent, kind-hearted, soft on the outside and strong on the inside..."

He used a bunch of good words, praised Jiang Changning, and then talked about some things in the dealer.

"The fourth young master of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Zike, used to like to go to Miss Jiang, and Miss Jiang treated him with no pretense. After Miss Lu came, Zhuang Zike went to court her, so he didn't bother Miss Jiang any more."

"He's quite courageous." Jin Wang sneered, and he didn't dare to contact Jiang Changning blatantly even after the draft.

"Master Zhuang intends to let him marry Yan'an County Lord, the daughter of Duke Jianjun."

King Jin sneered repeatedly, "The ignorant are fearless."

Zhuang Shenmao's official residence is the third grade, and his family rank is high, which is a good match for the Daijian County government.

But Zhuang Jike has no rank and no rank, and his delusion to marry a county head is undoubtedly a toad who wants to eat swan meat.

"Zhuang Jike will take the imperial examination next year, and the Zhuang family thinks he will be able to go to high school."

"Oh, we'll have to wait and see." When King Jin heard that Zhuang Jike loved to approach Jiang Changning, he hated him.

At the beginning of Maoshi the next day, Jiang Changning changed into a light blue palace attire, and walked out of the yard wearing the simplest double bun, wearing two green calyx plum palace flowers.

This court selects a show every three years. In addition to enriching the harem, it is to designate marriages for the children of the clan within three generations and the children of meritorious families.

Jiang Changning was in a state of disarray. She didn't want to stay in the harem and compete with a bunch of women for the public toilet, nor did she want to be randomly assigned to a stranger as his wife.

But it just so happened that there was a marriage first, and then a draft.

It was like a raging torrent wrapping her forward and rushing forward. She tried her best, but she couldn't swim ashore.

This feeling of powerlessness is very bad, and it makes Jiang Changning feel that everything she does is in vain.

When they arrived at Mrs. Zhuang's courtyard, Zhuang Qingyan and Zhuang Qingchan had already arrived, and after a while, Xie Baoyin and Lu Xiuju also came.

Mrs. Zhuang said to the five people: "Today is only the primary election, don't be nervous, it will pass soon."

"Yes." The five people bowed in response.

"Fourth sister, I'll take you out." Zhuang Qingmei took Zhuang Qingchan's arm, smiling all over her face.

Zhuang Qingchan was taken aback by Zhuang Qingmei's sudden enthusiasm, "No..."

"Let's go, Fourth Sister." Zhuang Qingmei didn't allow her to refuse.

When we got outside the second gate, we saw Xie Zhang and Lu Pingxu standing there.

There was a flash of clarity in Jiang Changning's eyes, and Zhuang Qingmei smiled and said, "Brother Xie, Brother Lu, you are here to send the sisters off, right? That's great."

As she spoke, she even cast a wink at Lu Pingxu.

It's just that her appearance is not good, and there is no trace of charm in her eyes.

Zhuang Qingyan frowned, this concubine is embarrassing again here.

Now she has no time to talk to her. When she comes back from the primary election, she must tell her mother to restrain Zhuang Qingmei so that she will not do anything that humiliates her family.

Zhuang Qingmei didn't know that her sister-in-law wished she could tie her up with a rope and stuff a towel into her mouth, and she was still making love to Lu Pingxu there.

Fortunately, without saying a few words, Master Zhuang Er came, those who got on the carriage got on the cart, and those who got on the horse got on the horse.

　Primary election tomorrow.
