"But …" "But Fourth Miss …" "It's rare for you to get such a decent piece of jewelry …"
Then, she shook her head, "In this room, there is no one who loves decency more than missus. As a concubine, if I am too shabby when I go out, the first person I would feel sorry for would be missus. At the very least, she would have an unvirtuous reputation."
"Thus, we do not need to worry about something like this." Jiang Wan picked up the pink tea cup that was placed on a large black table in the room, with Uncle Ma's birthday drawn on it. She took a light sip, the taste of this tea soup was truly …
Jiang Wan didn't know how to describe the taste, and more often than not, she was more willing to drink plain water.
However, just as Jiang Wan had been waiting for the Qin to summon her, she found out that because of some matters, the Qin had exempted them from a few consecutive days of morning consciousness, causing Jiang Wan to be unable to refrain from looking at Jiang Shu with a face of suspicion. Jiang Zhuzhe, on the other hand, had a sullen face, completely ignoring Jiang Wan.
Mother Du, who had been busy these past few days, hurriedly returned from outside the manor. She did not even have time to take a breath before she lifted the curtain and entered the main house of Jun Yating Hall.
Currently, née Qin was resting with her eyes closed on the pillow on the large brick bed, allowing Peony to gently massage her legs while kneeling at the side.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of what she had overheard that day in Cat's Ear Lane: The hereditary and unscrupulous Marquis Yongsheng is going to propose marriage to the second young master of the family.
Furthermore, the other party only had one request, and that was for the Fang Family to be innocent. As for their proper standing and character, they did not mention a single word of it.
Back then, she had thought that her daughter was still young, so she was not in a hurry to propose marriage to her. She had not expected that after Old Lady Wang passed away, her filial term of three years would cause Jiang Shu to become fifteen years old.
She had wanted to ask Mrs. Qiao at Cat's Ear Lane more about the Marquis' Mansion, but she didn't expect Mrs. Qiao to hide it from her.
Wasn't it because their family also had the third daughter, Jiang Yan, who was a girl waiting for words? With her little thoughts, it was as if she knew who else.
On that day, she had heard the news of the Qiao Family's younger generation's daughter-in-law, the Huang Family saying something like "Heaven's blessing" and "Big Sister Yan's fortune". It was clear that they also wanted Jiang Yan to marry into the Eternal Sheng manor!
If she didn't say it, then she wouldn't say it. She didn't believe that there was no place in the huge capital for her to find out more information.
Hearing the plank curtain hitting the door frame, Madam Qin opened her eyes and slowly said, "Is it Mother Du?"
"That's me." Mother Du walked to the side of the brick bed where Madame Qin was lying with a humble face and answered.
"How is it?" The Qin family, who had been waiting in the room for her news, couldn't hide their anticipation and was about to get off the brick bed.
"Yes." Mother Du smiled at née Qin, then used her eyes to glance at the person standing in the room.
Peony got off the brick bed with great eyes and led everyone else out of the room. For a moment, there was only Mother Du and Madam Qin left in the pavilion.
"Tell me, what is it?" Mrs Qin sat up, patted the empty brick bed beside her, and said to Mother Du.
"This Marquis of Yongsheng, the Cao family, was once the founder of our Great Liang country and was bestowed the title of Marquis of Yongsheng without regard for the salary of the imperial court." "Previously, the Crown Prince's Imperial Guard had appeared in the Qin family's ears, and there was no difference in the current situation. However, two generations of the Marquis of Eternal Prosperity had left the imperial court, while the camel was still bigger than a horse. With the Qin family's farmland and their shops in Tongzhou, it would be enough for several generations to live without fear of food or clothing."
The Qin family nodded in agreement.
In Beijing, only rich people were truly rich!
Previously, when she was in Zhenjiang, although the Jiang family didn't dare to say that they were part of the wealthy family, they were publicly recognized as one of the largest families in Zhu Clan. The total income from the farm and the shop was close to a thousand taels of silver a year.
However, ever since he had entered the capital, his daily expenses were like flowing water.
It had only been less than half a month, yet there were already several hundred silver taels missing from the account.
If this really went on, she really didn't know how long that little bit of information in her family would last.
"Is that the Cao family's second young master's hidden injury?" She asked worriedly.
"Aiyo, it just so happens that today I saw the second young master of the Marquis of Yongsheng's Mansion," Mother Du couldn't hide her excitement as she said, "A young man in his twenties, he really looks valiant and valiant."
However, the Qin family had an expression of disbelief: "Where did you see him?"
"It's on the market." Mother Du's face was full of disbelief, "A few young masters must have arranged to go out of the city to hunt, I saw that one of them was a little different. Later on, I heard that it was the second son of the Marquis of Yongsheng, Cao Jin."
Hearing Mother Du's words, née Qin frowned.
Logically speaking, since the Marquis' Mansion of Yongsheng had such good conditions, the crown prince should not have any hidden injuries. There was no reason for them to find a daughter-in-law, but it would be difficult for the crown prince to do so.
Could it be that there was some secret behind this?
When Mother Du saw the Qin's appearance, she once again came over: "I heard from them that Marquis Yongsheng offended someone in the past few years. That's why those aristocratic families don't want to get too close with their family."
"Who did you offend?" The Qin family asked curiously.
"It's the current Crown Prince!" Mother Du said proudly, "Everyone knows that the current Crown Prince is the next emperor. What good will come of offending him in the future? So everyone is busy drawing a clear line between themselves and their family. "
Did you offend the Crown Prince?
The Qin's frown deepened.
Even though her eldest daughter, Jiang You, had an illustrious position in the crown prince's mansion, she was not as steady as a rock. If she were to marry her youngest daughter to the Marquis' Mansion, would it make the crown prince unhappy and affect his reputation?
However, if they gave up this opportunity, Jiang Shu, who came from a fifth-grade official's family, would have a rather limited chance of marrying into a noble family.
"Madame, why don't we ask the eldest miss for her opinion?" Mother Du advised née Qin.
Lady Qin thought so too, so she found someone to send a letter to Ginger, who was in the Crown Prince's Palace.
The next day, Jiang Yu's reply came. The Qin family was overjoyed after they read it, so they invited Mother Du to whisper in the pavilion together, then sent people to the Pure Heart Pavilion to call Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu over.
Jiang Wan, who originally thought that the Qin family had forgotten about her, was anxiously walking down the veranda. Clove followed behind her with the scarlet gold bracelet in her hand, looking like she was ready to die.
Jiang Shu, on the other hand, was like a happy swallow as she ran past Jiang Wan with a complacent expression. She stopped in front of her and said, "Sister Wan'er, I've said that as long as it's something I want, there's nothing I can't obtain!"
Then, she shook her head, "In this room, there is no one who loves decency more than missus. As a concubine, if I am too shabby when I go out, the first person I would feel sorry for would be missus. At the very least, she would have an unvirtuous reputation."
