Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 6 The Maid
In the afternoon, Shu Fei, another maid beside Jiang Changning, came back from the village.

She changed her clothes and came into the room to greet Jiang Changning, "Girl, the servant is back."

"You're back, is your family okay?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

When Jiang Changning went to Beijing, he brought with him a nanny, two big maids, four young maids, and two servants.

In fact, there were 79 families who followed her to Beijing, with a total of [-] people, all of whom were arranged by her in the village outside the city for her to dispatch at any time.

Three years ago, she accused the two maids of marrying off.

The four little maids filled the gap of the two big maids and served her by her side.

It was Xiulan, Fangju, Shufei and Fucui.

The little maids and the rough envoys in the yard are also loyal servants of the Jiang family, and they tried to send them in.

Jiang Changning's small yard is taken care of like an iron bucket by her.

"Okay, it's all good. Uncle Wu asked his servant to tell the girl that Pippi Shrimp will be available for sale next month." Shu Fei said.

Jiang Changning smiled, "Good thing, I can make money again."

"The servant brought back a basket, and let Sister Cui cook it for the girl at night." Shu Fei laughed.

"Leave a small bowl for me, and I'll eat it when I go back to the yard after eating with the old lady." Jiang Changning has been greedy for this shrimp for a long time.

She has been thinking about this bite ever since she accidentally saw Pippi shrimp seedlings last year.

At the beginning of You Shi, Jiang Changning took Fu Cui and four little girls to the old lady's yard.

At the door of the east living room, I heard talking and laughing inside.

The old lady Zhuang scolded with a smile: "You narrow girl."

The little maid raised the door curtain and announced to Li: "The cousin girl is here."

The laughter stopped, so it was hard not to suspect that the people in the room were joking about Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning didn't care. In this world, no one talks behind someone's back, and no one talks about someone's back.

Walking into the east room, the four girls of the Zhuang family have arrived, and Liao and Xiao Wu are sitting beside them.

It's etiquette to make peace in the morning and evening, and the dealer also stipulates that the girls come to accompany the old lady when they eat in the morning and evening.

For lunch, Mrs. Zhuang decides whether to eat alone or with whom.

"Greetings to the old lady." Jiang Changning saluted.

Mrs. Zhuang raised her hand to help, "Sit down."

"Thank you, old lady." Jiang Changning walked to the seat next to Zhuang Qing's wife and sat down, and smiled at her, "Second sister."

Zhuang Qingyu returned her a small smile, lowered her head and continued to pinch her fingers.

"Sister Ning, do you think the patterns on the old lady's forehead guard look good?" Zhuang Qingmei asked.

It was only then that Jiang Changning noticed that the forehead guard that Mrs. Zhuang was wearing today was not the pattern she used to wear, but the one with the embroidered longevity pattern.

"It's beautiful, and the embroidery is exquisite. I didn't expect the fifth sister's embroidery work to improve." Jiang Changning smiled.

Zhuang Qingmei giggled, "Sister Ning praised the wrong person. This is the handicraft of the third sister. The pattern that the third sister specially drew for the old lady was embroidered stitch by stitch."

"Girl Yan has a heart." The old lady Zhuang cheerfully patted the back of Zhuang Qingyan's hand.

"A granddaughter should be filial to her grandmother." Zhuang Qingyan said with a smile.

"Good boy." The old lady Zhuang praised Zhuang Qingyan and began to beat Jiang Changning, "Ning girl, although you are weak and need to rest, it is not easy to bother your mind, but you are growing every day, you can learn how to do needlework It's not that you are asked to do it all day, you can make a sachet in ten days and half a month, and it is not difficult to make a purse."

"What the old lady said is true." Jiang Changning didn't need to argue with her.

There is a sewing room, where she is needed for sewing.

Besides, her female celebrity is not bad, she just doesn't like to do it.

In that spare time, she can read books, paint, practice calligraphy, play the piano, and try to make money, isn't it?

After Mrs. Zhuang taught her a few more words, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zou came.

Then the maid came in and reported, "Yan's food is ready."

Zhuang Qingyan supported the old lady Zhuang, and everyone followed behind, entering the hall to eat.

The next day, Jiang Changning received an invitation from Zhuang Juyue who sent his mother-in-law over to the mansion.

Invite her to a birthday party on March 27.

Jiang Changning thought about it for a while, and then decided what birthday gift to give, "Fangju, put that pearl hairpin in a brocade box."

"Young lady is really willing to do so. It costs three hundred silver to save the pearl hairpin." Fu Cui pouted.

Jiang Changning smiled and said: "Stingy girl, I don't like the style of the pearl hairpin. Instead of putting it in the box to collect dust, it's better to give it away. This is called making the best use of it."

At the end of each year, the loyal servants of the Jiang family will bring New Year gifts to the dealer.

Jiang Changning would ask them to prepare some jewelry for gifts.

"Yes, what the girl said makes sense." Fu Cui opened the door curtain and went out.

"I'm afraid you girl is crazy, who are you showing your face to?" Shu Fei followed and walked out.

"Who is throwing face? You are the one who flinched." Fu Cui patted her face, "I was born with such a straight face."

"Yo, are you admitting that you have a straight face?"

"Oh, you are so annoying, go away, don't follow me."

"Whoever follows you, I can't go this way, by the way, where are you going?"

"I can go there, go to the back room to see if the bird's nest soup is stewed."

In Jiang Changning's yard, there is a separate small kitchen.

This was set up by her as an excuse to boil medicine and not always bother the kitchen.

"You need to go and see, the bird's nest soup is ready, and the bamboo leaves will be delivered."

"I'm going to..."

The two maidservants bickered and walked along the corridor to the back room.

"As soon as Shu Fei came back, the courtyard became even more noisy." Fang Ju came over with a small brocade box.

"That's how it looks fresh." Jiang Changning put down the book in his hand, took the small brocade box, opened it, made sure that it was the pearl hairpin inside, closed the lid, and handed it back to Fangju.

At the same time, the queen mother's order was also heard in the palace, and the Queen Mother was called to enter the palace.

Princess Runan changed into court clothes, put on a golden lock, and went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager waited until the Princess Concubine of Runan had finished her ceremony, and then said: "Excuse me, give me a seat."

Princess Runan thanked her for her kindness, but she did not sit down, but bowed and said: "My wife has heard something, so I came here to report it to the empress."

"What's the matter?" asked the Queen Mother.

"I don't know my lady, but do you still remember this?" Princess Runan took out the golden lock and offered it with both hands.

The maid beside the queen mother stepped forward to take the golden lock and presented it to the queen mother.

The golden lock belongs to the Empress Dowager, so she recognized it, "Where did you get this golden lock?"

Princess Runan told the story, but of course she concealed the fact that she went to the dealer, in order to accept Jiang Changning as her goddaughter so that Jiang Changning could marry her instead.

"Chang Ning, Xiao Ning'er." The queen mother smiled, "I didn't expect her to be in the capital, and she lived in the farmer's house. It made it hard for me to find her."

"Miss Jiang didn't intend to say it at first, but she did it because the minister's wife accidentally learned about it and kept asking her." Princess Runan Wang Taifei began to claim credit.

"Six years ago, she was a little girl, and I don't know what she looks like now." The queen mother smiled, "I really want to see her again."

"Girl Jiang has no rank, I'm afraid she won't be able to enter the palace." Princess Runan's eyes flickered.
