Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 37
"When are you going to pick him up? The king sent a few people to follow him. After all, she is also my concubine, so no one else can detain her." King Jin said.

A look of joy appeared in Zhou Chengcheng's eyes, "Thank you, my lord."

With the support of King Jin, there is a better chance of winning the girl.

But even so, Zhou Chengcheng went to see Jiang Nan.

I didn't know Jiang Nan before, but now the girl trusts him and asks him to contact Jiang Nan, then he will unite with Jiang Nan.

He told Jiang Nan that the Zhuang family had taken five girls into the mansion, intending to marry them, "Uncle Nan, the girls can no longer stay in the Zhuang's house, we must take the girls out as soon as possible."

Jiang Nan said angrily: "The banker's behavior is becoming more and more obscene."

"Arrange more people to pick up the girl." Zhou Chengcheng said.

"Don't worry, I will transfer all the leopards to cooperate with you. I must take the girl out of the dealer. Even if it is a robbery, I have to snatch the girl out." Jiang Nan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Changning's life at the dealer was not as dangerous as Zhou Chengxin and the others imagined.

Mrs. Zhuang hasn't made it clear yet, she still treats her more flatteringly.

Except for Zhuang Miaolian, five people talk to her from time to time, drink tea and play chess, which disturbs her unbearably.

After the Ghost Festival, Jiang Changning waited for people from the Knitting Department of the palace.

The Ministry of Etiquette arranged for people from the Knitting Department to come and tailor Jiang Changning's clothes.

The wedding dresses of the beautiful girls who married into the palace were all made by people from the knitting department, which saved Jiang Changning a lot of trouble.

After the three embroiderers had measured the size, Jiang Changning asked the maid to bring the prepared cakes and tea, "Thank you for your hard work, please use some as you like."

"Thank you, miss." The three embroiderers saluted.

The three embroiderers drank tea and pastries and were about to leave.

Jiang Changning said: "The wedding dress is ready, please send it to Jiang's house on Nanmen Street for me to try on."

"Nanmen Street?" One of the embroiderers was puzzled.

"Yes, Jiang's house on Nanmen Street." Jiang Changning said with a serious expression, "My surname is Jiang, and this is the dealer."

"Understood, when the time comes, the servant girl will send the clothes to Jiang's house for the girl to try on." The embroiderer is also clever.

"Thank you." Jiang Changning smiled lightly.

Xiulan sent the three of them out, and by the way gave each of them a purse, "Please be more considerate."

As soon as the purse was in hand, the embroiderers weighed it out, at least ten taels, and the smile on their faces added a bit.

Back in the palace, the round-faced embroidered lady went to Fushou Palace to report to the Queen Mother about going to the dealer.

The Empress Dowager tapped lightly on the armrest while listening.

After a long time, she smiled inexplicably and said, "Use this size to make a county magistrate's uniform."

"Yes, empress." Xiuniang secretly rejoiced, this is a good opportunity to make friends with Princess Jin.

Although the embroiderer wanted to sell it face to face, she couldn't find a reason why the wedding dress hadn't been embroidered yet.

Fortunately, snakes have snakes, and rats have rats. Xiu Niang sold this good deal to Jiang Changning through her friends.

Knowing that the Empress Dowager intends to make himself the head of the county, Jiang Changning was not overjoyed, and calmly took his maid to see the sick Zhuang Qingchan.

Entering the room, seeing Zhuang Qingchan's eyes flushed, she knew she had just shed tears.

Zhuang Qingyu said: "Sister Ning, come and persuade Fourth Sister too."

Jiang Changning sat down on the chair beside Zhuang Qingchan, "Fourth sister, are you worried that Miss Song won't get along well?"

Zhuang Qingchan twisted the tassels on the fan without saying a word.

Is this the default?
Jiang Changning smiled slightly and said, "Fourth sister, there is no need to be so worried. Although you and her have different names, you are not weaker than her."

"I'm a concubine and a concubine, so I can compare with her." Zhuang Qingchan said with self-pity.

Jiang Changning smiled, "Fourth sister doesn't have to be so self-deprecating, you are the concubine daughter of a third-rank official, but she is only the concubine daughter of a fifth-rank official."

If Song Yirou hadn't had a good uncle and her cousin was a noble concubine, she would not be much better than Zhuang Qingchan in terms of her father's official position.

Jiang Changning continued: "Although you are a concubine, you were pointed out to King Ningxia by the palace, and you are of high rank. If Song Yirou wants to handle you, you have to weigh it carefully. You don't need to be against her, but you don't need to be afraid of her."

"Sister Ning is right, Fourth Sister, don't always think of the bad." Zhuang Qingyu smiled wryly, "It's not good to be a concubine, but how good would it be to marry into a merchant's house?"

"Second sister." Zhuang Qingchan held Zhuang Qingyu's hand.

"You have entered the palace, as long as you can survive, your aunt's life in this palace will not be too difficult, but I have been controlled by the palace for the rest of my life." Zhuang Qingyu said.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have money but no power, so they have to rely on the dealers.

After being persuaded by the two, Zhuang Qingchan stopped being too horny, calmed down, and concentrated on embroidering the wedding dress, waiting to be carried into the palace.

July 26 is an auspicious day for housewarming.

Brothers Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Shouxin brought people to the dealer.

When Mrs. Zhuang heard that the two were here to pick up Jiang Changning, she asked sharply, "You are just old servants of the Jiang family, what qualifications do you have to pick up Ning girl?"

"The girl is a girl from the Jiang family. What's wrong with the Jiang family's old servants welcoming the Jiang family girl to Jiang's house?" Zhou Chengcheng said solemnly.

"Miss Ning is going to marry into the palace in October, how can she go back to Hangzhou?" Old Madam Zhuang asked with a frown.

"It's not going back to Hangzhou, there is a house in Beijing." Zhou Chengxin said.

"Why didn't I know that Jiang's family has a house in Beijing?" Mrs. Zhuang asked questioningly.

"This is the master's arrangement before his death. The girl should go home and get married when she grows up." Zhou Chengcheng was telling the truth.

Jiang's father did buy a house in Beijing before his death, but it was not on Nanmen Street.

Mrs. Zhuang was blocked by these words and couldn't answer for a while.

It is only natural for the girl from the Jiang family to return to the Jiang family to serve her and marry her.

Jiang Changning rushed over after hearing the news. Mrs. Zhuang saw her and asked anxiously: "Ning girl, are you unhappy living here? Does your aunt treat you well?"

As long as Jiang Changning didn't want to leave, Zhou Chengcheng couldn't pick him up.

"It's natural for the old lady to treat Changning well, but Changning's surname is Jiang." Jiang Changning couldn't do what she wanted.

"How can a girl live outside alone? It will cause gossip." Mrs. Zhuang said.

Zhou Shouxin asked back: "Aunt and Madam are overthinking, the master has made arrangements before his death, besides, what kind of gossip will the girl cause when she goes back to her own home?"

The old lady Zhuang gave Zhou Shouxin a hard look, "Girl Ning, my aunt is doing it for your own good, so don't be foolish and listen to those little people to do foolish things."

Jiang Changning is so smart, she heard the meaning behind Zhou Shouxin's words, "I dare not violate my father's will."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhuang shouldn't have kept anyone anymore.

But why is Mrs. Zhuang willing to let the cooked duck fly away?
"Girl Ning, I've raised you for six years, are you so disregarding affection?" Mrs. Zhuang asked.

"What the old lady said, I moved back to my own home, and I didn't want to break off the relationship with the Zhuang family, so why didn't I care about my affection?" Jiang Changning asked rhetorically.

　Moving these days, a little busy.
