Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 40
But Zhuang Qingru and Jin Qiaozhen failed to see Jiang Changning, Xiulan came out to deal with them, "Miss went to Zhou's house to pay homage to Zhou's mother."

"Then we'll come back tomorrow. Tell Cousin Ning to wait for me at home." Zhuang Qingru said.

"Aunt Zhuang, if you have anything to say, you can tell your servants, and your servants will help you pass it on. If there is nothing important, Aunt Zhuang should not come here. My girl will thank you behind closed doors and see no outsiders."

Xiulan looked at Jin Qiaozhen who was standing beside Zhuang Qingru, and she knew what Zhuang Qingru was up to, so she refused to let them see Jiang Changning and put Jiang Changning in trouble.

"Bastard, you girl, you are so courageous!" Zhuang Qingru scolded angrily.

Xiulan calmly said: "See off the guests."

After saying that, ignore Zhuang Qingru, turn around and leave.

"Stop for me." Zhuang Qingru shouted loudly.

A few hard-working women stopped her, "Aunt Zhuang, please."

Zhuang Qingru didn't want to tear up with the servants, so he had to leave the Jiang residence first.

"Sister, what should I do now?" Jin Qiaozhen never expected such a situation.

"Wait, I don't believe she won't come back." Zhuang Qingru gritted her teeth.

In the hot July sun, even if the carriage is in the shade, it is still too hot to breathe.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the two were flushed and sweating profusely.

Zhuang Qingru had no choice but to say, "We'll come back tomorrow."

Jin Qiaozhen didn't make a sound, she felt that she wouldn't see Jiang Changning tomorrow.

As she expected, she came here three times in a row but failed to see anyone. Jin Qiaozhen knew that it was her aunt's idea to ask her to be a concubine.

Jin Qiaozhen refused to follow Zhuang Qingru to Jiang's house, "This matter can't be done, like cousin, let's find someone else."

Wu and Zhuang Qingru were so angry that they failed to plan this matter.

This incident happened so that Mrs. Zou knew about it.

Mrs. Zou ran to Mrs. Zhuang and applied Mrs. Wu's eye drops.

Mrs. Zhuang called Mrs. Wu over and scolded, "You're a fool who didn't accomplish enough and failed."

Wu was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head, and she didn't dare to defend herself.

Jiang Changning's infighting had nothing to do with the dealer's family.

On the first day of August, the door of Jiang's house was knocked open.

Knowing that it was the servant who came to read the Queen Mother's edict, Jiang Changning had a mocking smile on his lips, and the one who should come will always come.

The Queen Mother canonized Jiang Changning as the head of Chun'an County, which is located in Hangzhou.

Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, the queen mother is so generous, she actually named her a county head with a real salary, not a county head with a name.

"Such a big sweet date, I'm not afraid of choking to death." Jiang Changning looked down at the gold silk embroidery on the county magistrate's robe, with a mocking sneer on his lips.

"Congratulations girl, no, it should be the county master." Several maidservants said beamingly.

"What kind of county lord is not what kind of county lord, just keep calling me girl, I'm used to it." Jiang Changning turned and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Several maidservants looked at each other in blank dismay, and hurriedly asked to remove the incense table.

Jiang Changning was granted the title of county head, and all the prefectures in central Beijing received the news, with different reactions.

Song Yirou was the most disdainful, "An orphan girl, she deserves it."

Jin Wang Taifei, who was pruning the flower branches, put down the scissors and said disdainfully: "Even if she is named princess, she is not worthy of my son."

Mourning Concubine Qiao, who looked through the account book, sneered, "The empress dowager really will show her face."

Chen Yi sighed, "It's really lucky."

Mrs. Wu was complaining about Mrs. Zhuang, "That day, the old lady should be tougher and not let Ning girl move out."

Mrs. Zhuang gave her a blank look, "With people from Prince Jin's Mansion here, you are really tough."

"Who knows if it's true or not, maybe it's a fake." Wu said stubbornly.

"You pretend to be one and let me see it." The old lady Zhuang said angrily.

Mrs. Wu fell silent, Mrs. Zou pursed her lips and smiled, "Old lady, Miss Cousin is now the head of the county, do you want to prepare a congratulatory gift?"

Mrs. Zhuang thought for a while, "It's time to prepare a congratulatory gift, the second child's family, you go and give a congratulatory gift."

"Yes, old lady." Mrs. Zou glanced at Mrs. Wu proudly.

Mrs. Liao was at the side, hesitating to speak, she also wanted to see Jiang Changning, but she knew that Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Wu would not let her go, so she lowered her head sadly.

When Biansheng returned to the yard, the ignorant Zhuang Nianjun asked her, "Mom, can we go and see my cousin?"

"We will see each other when we have a chance in the future." Liao looked out the window, maybe she could still rely on Jiang Changning to let her leave the dealer with her daughter.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zou took a gift and went to Nanmen Street.

If Zhuang Qing is of the same generation, Jiang Changning can forcefully ignore him.

Mrs. Zou is the elder after all, Jiang Changning can't keep him out, "Why is the second wife here?"

"The old lady has been thinking about the cousin girl. Since the cousin girl moved out, the old lady didn't think about eating and drinking, so she specially sent me to see the cousin girl." Mrs. Zou said affectionately.

"Old lady Lao is worried, everything is fine with me." Jiang Changning said with a faint smile.

"If you need anything, let someone tell you. Although your second uncle and third elder brother are useless, you can still run errands." Zou laughed.

Jiang Changning smiled and didn't answer her words.

"The fact that Qing Ru brought her cousin here is not known to the family, and it's all the eldest wife's own initiative." Zou argued.

"In those few days, I went to Zhou's house. I didn't see my cousin Ru, so I don't know about it." Jiang Changning said indifferently.

One sentence, one sentence, Zou tried her best to show her and the family's concern for Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning was polite and polite, and he responded in vain.

The next day, the freshly-baked Chun'an county magistrate entered the palace wearing brand-new county magistrate costumes to thank her.

At the palace gate, Jiang Changning met King Jin.

When King Jin saw Jiang Changning getting off the carriage, the corners of his lips rose.

When Jiang Changning wears elegant clothes, it will give people a sense of elegance and dust.

When wearing pink clothes, it will look delicate and lovely.

Today, she was wearing a slightly thick red county magistrate's dress, which made her look very dignified.

This made King Jin very much looking forward to seeing Jiang Changning in his wedding dress.

"County Lord." King Jin greeted with a smile, his eyes fell on Jiang Changning's hair bun, she didn't wear that wishful hairpin today.

Jiang Changning slightly bent his knees, "My lord."

"Enter the palace to thank you?"

"Yes."

"Please, magistrate."

"My lord please."

In this era, there is no priority for women. If she dares to walk ahead of King Jin, that is arrogance.

King Jin walked towards the passageway to enter the palace, Jiang Changning was half a step behind and walked with him.

"You left Chunlai and the others without your consent. You wouldn't blame me for being troublesome, would you?" King Jin asked.

"The prince is kind. The house is full of female relatives. Leaving them alone can deter outsiders. I should thank the prince." Jiang Changning smiled slightly.

King Jin stopped and turned around, "You really want to thank me?"

Jiang Changning looked up at him, "I really want to thank you."

King Jin raised his legs and walked forward, "Take me to dinner."

"Ah?" Jiang Changning was stunned.

King Jin hesitated and said, "Then I'll treat you to dinner."

Jiang Changning smiled, "Although I haven't received the county magistrate's salary, I still have money to treat the prince to a meal."

When he arrived at the inner gate of the palace, King Jin stepped up to the chariot and said, "The county magistrate must remember that you owe me a meal."

"Chun'an dare not forget." Jiang Changning bowed.

After King Jin's chariot walked a short distance, Jiang Changning got on her chariot and headed for Fushou Palace.

　Note: Before the little county lord got his salary, he was blackmailed for a meal.
