Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 46 Adding Makeup (Part [-])
The weather was fine, the sky was blue and cloudless.

There are potted chrysanthemums under the corridor, one pot after another, blooming in full bloom.

In the peace tank in the yard, the remnants of the lotus have been cleared away, leaving only the empty tank.

The maid brought Zhuang Qingyu and Zhuang Qingchan in, "Sister Ning (Sister Ning)."

"Why are you sisters here?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

"Come to add makeup to you." Zhuang Qingyu said with a smile.

Jiang Changning saw that Zhuang Qingyu was already dressed as a woman, and her brows were no longer the same as when she was a girl, with a touch of sadness, and she knew that her married life for more than ten days was quite comfortable.

Jiang Changning let the sisters from the Zhuang family into the warm pavilion, and the maid brought tea and retreated.

Zhuang Qingyu put the brocade box on the kang table, "Sister Ning, I know you have always liked jade, so I will give you a piece of jade, do you like it or not?"

Jiang Changning opened the lid of the box, and inside was a large piece of jadeite. The germplasm was fine and transparent, and the color was bright and pure. "Thank you, Second Sister, I like this piece of jade very much."

"It's fine if you like it, the Liu family is in the jade business, wait..." Zhuang Qingyu twisted her handkerchief.

She is not the kind of temperament that is all-round and slick, and she still can't say some things.

"I'll go to your shop some other day to have a look and pick out a few more pieces of good jade, and the second sister will give you a real price." Jiang Changning smiled.

Zhuang Qingyu looked at her gratefully and said, "I'll give you the most realistic price."

Yesterday, Liu Zhen knew that she was coming to add makeup to Jiang Changning, so she specially found this piece of jade from the warehouse, and replaced the gold-plated flower hairpin she had prepared.

She knew that she was the concubine's daughter of a third-rank official, and she married into a merchant's house. Although she was married, life would not be easy if she had no support.

In the past ten days, the Liu family has treated her very well, she cherishes this day very much, and she is willing to please her cousin for the Liu family.

Instead of pleasing her parents, she would rather please her cousin.

"Sister Ning, this is my makeup for you." Zhuang Qingchan put a brocade box on the kang table and placed it in front of Jiang Changning.

"Thank you." Jiang Changning opened the lid, and inside was a set of pearl noodles.

The pearls are as big as a thumb, exuding a lustrous luster.

It takes a lot of silver to buy such a set of pearl face.

Jiang Changning and Zhuang Qingyu looked at Zhuang Qingchan at the same time, this was not something she could offer.

Zhuang Qingchan smiled, "I'm going to be the wife of the king's mansion anyway. The old lady and the master still expect me to become a threesome in the future. No, it's Zhuang Cairen who helped me and gave me a lot of good things. When I was a child, I would also prepare a generous dowry to remind me of my family's goodness."

"Here, you just take it. When you arrive at the palace in the future, you don't know what it will be like. It's always good to have more things with you." Zhuang Qingyu said.

"When you went to the Prince's Mansion, my status might not be as good as the mansion's makeup for you. Now that you're here, I'll give you the makeup." Jiang Changning raised his voice, "Fangju."

Fangju opened the curtain and came in in response, "Miss."

"Go and get the makeup I prepared for the fourth girl." Jiang Changning ordered.

Fangju turned around and went out again, and later brought in a small brocade box.

Jiang Changning's make-up for Zhuang Qingchan is the same as for Zhuang Qingyu, a stack of bank notes, 500 taels, "If you have money by your side, you can spend it as you want."

"Sister Ning, thank you." Zhuang Qingchan didn't shirk. All the dealer gave her were things, and she had no cash on hand.

Sometimes, she needs money to buy something, and she also needs money to reward servants. Jiang Changning's gift of money is the most suitable for her.

Jiang Changning stayed with the Zhuang sisters for lunch before asking Xiulan to send them out.

The next day, Zhuang Qingmei and several girls from Xifu came with Sun Huihui and Qian Li, but Zhuang Yuxiang didn't come.

Zhuang Juxiang had been a candidate for a concubine, so she was not allowed to come because she was afraid of causing Jiang Changning's displeasure.

Jiang Changning lived in Beijing for six years, went out only a handful of times, and didn't make friends with anyone.

Seeing Sun Huihui and Qian Li approaching, Jiang Changning was a little surprised, but immediately understood the reason.

He received them politely and left them for lunch, and then sent them away politely.

As the day of Jiang Changning's marriage to Prince Jin approached, Song Yirou became more irritable.

On this day, the tea maid obeyed her instructions and served her a cup of hot tea.

Song Yirou didn't know if she was too thirsty or absent-minded, so she picked up the cup and drank it.

"Pfft..." She spat out the tea in her mouth, threw the tea on the tea-serving maid, and cursed: "Baby maid, do you want to scald me to death?"

The tea-serving maid was wearing jackets, so she was fine, but a small amount of tea splashed onto the back of her hand, and the back of her hand was immediately burned red.

But she didn't dare to cry out the pain at all, she knelt down and kowtowed, "Miss, please forgive me, please forgive me, please."

Song Yirou walked over and kicked her hard a few times.

The maid was kicked to the ground, gritted her teeth, and dared not say a word.

The other maidservants stood aside, watching tremblingly, not daring to go forward to persuade her.

Ever since referring to Yizhi's marriage, Song Yirou has been in a violent state, throwing temper tantrums at every turn.

The Second Mrs. Song didn't dare to let her go out, so she beat and cursed the servants in the yard all day long, making the whole family restless.

"Girl." Song Yirou's nanny Chen Pozi came in, "You all go down."

The two maidservants who had made friends with the kicked maidservant hurried forward, helped the tea serving maidservant, and left the room together with the other maidservants.

"Nurse, is the matter over?" Song Yirou asked impatiently.

Mrs. Chen replied: "Miss, don't worry, it's all done."

"On the wedding day, she made a big fool of herself. Jiang Changning will never be able to raise her head to see people." Song Yirou smiled sinisterly.

Song Yirou knew that it was impossible for her to marry King Jin again, so she didn't dare to blame the Queen Mother who pointed out the marriage, she couldn't bear to blame the King Jin whom she adored, and she hated Jiang Changning who could marry King Jin.

The Song family has brains and will not allow her to mess around, but the Song family did not expect that Song Yirou could not order others, but ordered her nanny.

As soon as the master and servant made up their minds, they came up with a poisonous plan to harm Jiang Changning.

Sitting at home, Jiang Changning, whose disaster came from the sky, was talking with Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan held a booklet in his hand, "Girl, this is your dowry list, do you want to add more?"

"Uncle Nan, this is already enough, there is no need to add more." Jiang Changning said with a frown.

"Girl, you are going to marry into the palace to be the mistress, so the dowry must be generous." Jiang Nan had already prepared an extremely generous dowry for Jiang Changning.

When it was known that Jiang Changning was going to marry into the palace, the dowry was increased by three points.

Although the girl has no father or brother to rely on, and no sisters to help and support her, she has a group of loyal servants and a generous dowry. When she marries into the palace, she is also full of confidence and is not afraid of anyone.

"If this is the first change, there should be rewards from the palace." Jiang Changning flipped through the pamphlet.

Jiang Changning didn't know what other people's dowries were like, but the items in her own dowry book made her amazed.
