Chapter 20 I'm Not Greedy For Money
After leaving Zaishouyuan, Mrs. Huang took every step and turned her head twice.

"Speaking of it," she called Hong Nanny, "the last time I felt something was wrong, Qingyan's face was weird, right? I was trying to find out Qingyan's tone that day..."

Nanny Hong supported her and persuaded her: "After you mentioned it earlier, although the slaves didn't inquire about it, they did observe it a few times. Nanny Ruan and the others are all as usual."

"It's different," Huang shook her head, "Nurse Ruan and the others have been with the old lady for so many years, and they are more shrewd than each other. Qingyan is young, and she can't hide things on her face."

Nanny Hong was at a loss for words.

To tell the truth, she also felt that Mrs. Huang was right.

She is not blind, how could Qingyan not see through her absent-minded appearance?
But seeing through is seeing through, she can't say that, she has to appease Huang, not add fuel to the fire.

The master and servant walked slowly back to Qingpu Courtyard.

The window of the East Wing was open, and if you looked in, you could see Lin Yunjing sitting at the table holding a stretcher as a female celebrity.

Huang's eye sockets suddenly became sour.

Lin Yunjing is very good at embroidery. A few years ago, the Empress Dowager celebrated her birthday, and she presented a pair of embroidery.

The princess came back and said that the empress dowager liked it more and more, and kept it at hand all the time. The maids who celebrated her birthday asked her once, and the empress would praise her.

A few people who didn't come didn't ask, and the empress dowager whispered to the princess that he had "bad eyes".

It was that time when he had a face, Xu Guogong's mansion specially inquired about Yun Jing, and the two families began to discuss marriage.

In the past few days, Yun Jing is embroidering hijab, the pattern is "dragon and phoenix bring prosperity" discussed by their mothers...

The more Huang thought about it, the sadder she felt: "When Yun Jing asked, I didn't know how to tell her."

"She said that the old lady hated her, and she was sympathetic to you and the eldest girl's mother and daughter..." In the middle of speaking, Madam Hong also stopped talking when she saw Huang Shi looking at her quietly.

It's not that the old lady doesn't like big girls, but that the change came too suddenly.

"If I don't inquire about it, I can't sit still," Huang said, "If you don't ask Qingyan, you can also ask Nanny Qi."

Nanny Hong couldn't hold her back, and she was also worried about Lin Yunjing. After thinking about it, she went back to the old lady's place.

On the porch inside the courtyard gate, Nanny Qi was shaking a cattail fan.

Nanny Qi served Aunt Gu in the past, so she was closer to the second room. Now that she is older, she arranged for her the easy job of guarding the courtyard gate during the day.

Nanny Hong moved a chair and sat beside her: "Old sister is at ease."

"I'm old and useless, that is to say, the masters don't dislike it," Nanny Qi lowered her voice, "Why are you here again, didn't you just go back? I think the second lady is upset, but what happened? ?”

Nanny Hong whispered about the situation: "Madam is really worried."

Nanny Qi didn't say a word after listening.

These days, the third master and the princess came to talk several times, but the old lady pushed everyone in the room away, and no one knew what they were discussing.

It must be extremely important to be so cautious, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the eldest girl's marriage.

Sister Hong looked at her expression and vaguely guessed something: "Old sister knows something, but it's hard to tell?"

Nanny Qi smiled coyly: "Listen to my advice, don't inquire about what's going on with the old madam lightly, in case the old madam finds out and feels unhappy, the loss outweighs the gain. Besides, with the old madam's kind nature, I can lose money." Can't our big girl make it?"

Nanny Hong sighed.

The truth is this, but as the second wife, as a mother, she is also very concerned about it.

The two talked for a while, seeing that Nanny Qi refused to reveal a word, Nanny Hong had no choice but to get up and leave.

She didn't go far, and stood outside the moon cave door at the corner.

After a while, it will be time for Zaishouyuan to send people to the kitchen to get refreshments, and this is the only way to go.

If it was Qingyan who came, she would ask nicely, but if it was someone else, then let it go.

Leave it to God.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came, and Madam Hong looked over her head and said "Amitabha".

It was Qingyan who came.

The Bodhisattva told her to ask clearly.

Qingyan didn't expect to meet Nanny Hong here, so she forced herself to smile and walked forward quickly.

Nanny Hong followed up: "Girl, the elder girl's marriage was said to be moved to the next year. It was not said that way at first. Our wife is really worried. There will be no disturbances in this marriage, right?"

Qingyan walked with her head muffled and didn't speak to her.

"Miss also knows that Madam has been widowed for several years, and the eldest girl is the most important thing for her. A good marriage is her only hope." Hong Hong said softly, "If this continues, she may not be able to eat well and sleep well. no..."

Qing Yan was pestered by Hong Nai, and said: "Mom, don't embarrass me, how can I talk so much about the affairs of the masters."

Madam Hong is a shrewd person, as soon as she heard this statement, she knew that there was indeed something inside.

She grabbed Qingyan's arm and cleverly led her to a corner.

With a movement of her hand, an ingot of silver was stuffed into Qingyan's palm.

"Miss, don't refuse!" Before Qingyan could react, Hong Nanny said first, "If there is something wrong with this, please tell me a few words, so that I can slowly persuade Madam. Strong, right?"

Qingyan froze in place, with her head down, without moving.

When Nanny Hong saw this, her heart fluttered, and then she said again: "Young lady, please do your best..."

Qingyan held the silver ingot in her hand, it was heavy, about five taels per ingot, and her monthly salary was only two taels of silver.

"Mom, I'm not greedy for money," Qingyan swallowed, "I'm also because of the grievances between the eldest girl and the second wife. Everyone knows the difficulties of the second wife, but I just can't see it..."

Nanny Hong nodded hastily: "That's it! That's it!"

"Actually, it's for dowry money. The third master wanted to use it for business, but the old lady refused. It's the princess..." Afraid that others would find out, Qingyan didn't dare to stay longer, her mouth was like a bean, and she listened to that night. She said everything she had said, "Obviously she is my sister, the princess has a noble status and has everything she needs, but she said that, not only the old lady was surprised, but I was also surprised. I thought she had a good relationship with the eldest girl... "

Nanny Hong was stunned.

She suspected that there might be changes in the marriage, and only thought that it was a problem with Xu Guogong's mansion, but she never guessed about her dowry money.

How will she tell Huang about this inside story?

Sister Hong went back to Qingpuyuan with a heavy heart, seeing that Mrs. Huang was worried, she still said the truth.

"Look, there is no change in Xu Guogong's mansion," Hong Nanny racked her brains and said, "It will be the beginning of spring, when the money is ready..."

"Then what if it's not well prepared?" Huang asked, "How can you be sure about doing business? What if..."

While talking quietly, suddenly, "Second Aunt" came from the yard outside through the window, Huang was startled, pushed the window and looked, it was Lin Yunyan who came.

"I'm here to find Eldest Sister." Lin Yunyan smiled all over her face.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she noticed that the expressions of Mrs. Huang and Nanny Hong were somewhat strange.

Mixed with resentment and panic, it was extremely embarrassing.

Lin Yunyan made a guess in her heart.

The second aunt would be impatient and suppressed it at first, but today Mrs. Xu Guogong came to the door, and if the wedding was late, it would be like sparks falling, and the smoke would immediately rise up.

She will definitely find a way to find out about Qingyan.

Judging by the expression at this moment, it is likely that I have already inquired about it, and I will try it later...

As long as she got the exact news, she could take the opportunity to make trouble and drive that betrayed Qing Yan out of Xiao Duan's side.

　If there are no accidents, I will add an update tomorrow and cover my face.

　　Thanks to book friends Chashugu, Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend, 369LY, and I am my sister for their rewards.
