Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 36
When Shu Fei was reporting the situation of Prince Jin's mansion to Jiang Changning, Chang Youzhong was also reporting to King Jin a piece of news he had just found, "My lord, the owner of the house on Nanmen Street has been found."

"Who is it?" King Jin liked that house, but he didn't want to be bought by someone else.

Chang Youzhong smiled, "It's Miss Jiang."

King Jin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Her vision is as good as mine."

"In the past few days, someone is repairing that house. I wonder if Miss Jiang is planning to move out from the farm." Chang Youzhong continued.

King Jin pondered for a moment, "Find out what's going on."

"Yes, my lord." Chang Youzhong replied.

The day before the Ghost Festival, Zhou Chengxin's wife Miao Shi and Zhou Shouxin's wife Luo Shi came to the dealer together.

The old lady Zhuang didn't want Jiang Changning to have close contacts with the Zhou family, but she couldn't drive him out.

The Miao family and the Luo family are not only Jiang Changning's wives, they are now good citizens and officials, and they can no longer be regarded as the old servants of the Jiang family.

"Miss has shown great kindness to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family never forgets it. They really shouldn't have come to say hello to Miss for many days." Miao said apologetically.

"Before the mother-in-law passed away, she still missed the girl, and asked our sister-in-law to come more often to say hello to the girl." Luo Shi added.

Although the brothers of the Zhou family are now keeping their filial piety at home and are of no rank or rank, the Zhuang family dare not offend anyone.

"From the second family, you can go in with the two Mrs. Zhou." Mrs. Zhuang said.

"Yes, old lady." Mrs. Zou responded with a bow.

"There is the second wife of Laozhuang." Mrs. Miao said politely.

Mrs. Zou smiled, "Two Mrs. Zhou, please."

Inside Baoge's house, Jiang Changning was playing chess with Zhuang Daocong.

Seeing Miao Shi and Luo Shi, Jiang Changning was very pleasantly surprised, "Why are the two sister-in-laws here?"

"Greetings, Miss." Miao Shi and Luo Shi saluted with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be too polite." Jiang Changning stepped forward to help the two of them.

Miao glanced at Zhuang Daocong casually, with big breasts and round buttocks, he looked like a good-looking man.

After Zou and Zhuang Daocong left, Miao asked directly: "Girl, who was the one who played against you just now? I haven't seen him before."

"Zhuang Daocong, a member of the Zhuang family." Jiang Changning smiled, "The Zhuang family picked up five girls to stay here temporarily."

Miao Shi and Luo Shi looked at each other, "Girl, the dealer has bad intentions!"

"There must be a purpose for them to live here, but I can't think of what purpose." Jiang Changning told the truth.

"The girl is from Qiongzhi Yushu, of course I can't think of it." Luo Shi smiled flatteringly.

Miao said in a low voice: "Mrs. Zhuang is afraid that she wants them to be concubines and follow the girls into the palace."

"Ah?" Jiang Changning was shocked, no wonder she didn't think of this.

Concubine marriage is an ancient marriage system. In this dynasty, only princesses and princesses who marry are eligible for concubine marriage.

She has no rank and title, and according to the etiquette, her dowry can only be a roommate.

"The girl is the Empress Dowager's savior. The Empress Dowager pointed the girl to the prince. In order to make the girl a match, she will definitely raise the girl's status. Maybe there will be a decree later." Luo Shi analyzed.

Miao's eyes were full of hatred and said: "The banker is so calculating, he actually wants to use the girl as a stepping stone."

The status of a concubine is higher than that of other concubines, second only to the mistress, and if she is favored, she can even be rectified after the mistress dies of illness, and the children born can even be regarded as descendants.

"Girl, you can no longer live in the dealer's house, you should move out today." Luo Shi said.

Miao also agreed, "Girl, move."

"There's no rush to move, Mrs. Zhuang hasn't told me about it yet, so I can still pretend to be confused." If Jiang Changning moves to Zhou's house at this time, it will make the Zhuang family lose face.

The dealer is in Beijing and has been in business for several generations. Its foundation is stronger than that of the Zhou family. If it is suppressed with all its strength, the Zhou family will not be able to bear it.

Besides, Mrs. Zhuang is old, and although she has plans for her, she still loves her a little bit.

After a few words of persuasion from Miao and Luo, Jiang Changning still refused to move out like this. Helplessly, Miao could only say: "Girl, then you have to be careful in everything."

Jiang Changning originally wanted to keep the two of them for dinner, but they declined, and said with a smile: "When the girl moves out, come and have dinner with the girl."

Sending them to the gate of the courtyard, the two bowed and said, "Miss, please stay."

"Xiulan, take the two sister-in-laws out for me." Jiang Changning ordered.

"Yes, girl." Xiulan sent Miao Shi and Luo Shi out.

On the way, Miao told Xiulan repeatedly, "Don't let the girl be alone, you must protect the girl."

"Pay attention to what you eat, it's best to cook it yourself, and be careful with what you use, and check it several times." Luo Shi felt that the dealer was in danger.

"The girl's underwear should also be carefully ordered, and they must not be used to make a fuss." Miao added.

"I see. Don't worry, the two grandmas. I will definitely protect the girl and never put her in danger." Xiulan said solemnly.

Miao and Luo greeted Wu and left the dealer.When I got home, I made the situation serious.

When the brothers of the Zhou family heard it, the girl was surrounded by a pack of wolves, how could this be possible?

"The girl must be picked up as soon as possible." Zhou Chengcheng said in a deep voice.

"The girl is kind-hearted, and she still cares about Mrs. Zhuang, but Mrs. Zhuang plots against her viciously. She is really old." Zhou Shouxin scolded.

"Second brother, you have nothing to do at home. Go to supervise the work, add money, whatever, let them clean up the house on Nanmen Street." Zhou Chengcheng said.

Zhou Shouxin said: "I will go to supervise tomorrow, but you'd better tell Uncle Nan about this, the girl can't be bullied like this by the dealer."

The next day, Zhou Shouxin went to Nanmen Street to supervise the work, and Zhou Chengxin went to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan, who he didn't see, met King Jin.

King Jin checked Jiang Changning, so he knew that Zhou Chengxin was her nanny.

With a thought, "Youzhong, go and call him over."

Chang Youzhong walked out, "Master Zhou."

Of course Zhou Chengxin recognized that he was someone close to the King of Jin, and bowed his hands in salute, "Eunuch Chang, what advice do you have?"

"Your Majesty Zhou is very polite. It is the prince who wants to see you." Chang Youzhong said with a smile.

"Yes." Zhou Chengcheng couldn't, and didn't dare to refuse to see King Jin.

Chang Youzhong took him to the private room of the tea house, where King Jin was drinking tea leisurely.

"I have seen the prince, please greet him." Zhou Chengxin saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down and talk." King Jin was approachable.

"Thank you, my lord." Zhou Chengcheng only sat on half a chair.

"The house on Nanmen Street has been bought for two years, why is it suddenly repaired?" King Jin asked straight to the point.

Zhou Chengcheng is not surprised that King Jin would know about this. The queen mother pointed out an orphan who appeared suddenly to King Jin as his step-concubine. It would be strange if King Jin didn't check it out.

"The girl said that the Jiang family's daughter cannot marry in the Zhuang family." Zhou Chengcheng didn't intend to lie.

King Jin laughed, "I'm afraid the Zhuang family won't let her leave the mansion so easily."

"The lower officials will arrange someone to pick up the girl." Zhou Chengxin concealed Jiang Changning's arrangement in the middle.

Jin's throne is high and powerful. I'm afraid he doesn't like women who are too assertive. For the sake of the girl's future happiness, he will pretend to claim it.
