C242

The next day was August 14th. I woke up early and wore a snow-green silk collar with gold and silver embroidered maple leaves and a vermilion ponyface skirt. I wore a godly bun with a ring of rubies on the bottom and a silver foil on the front. Three ruby hairpins were stuck in the bun side by side.

"Miss, you rarely wear anything so gorgeous!"

I thought of Lan Ling combing my hair in the morning with a hint of puzzlement.

While laughing, I picked up a rose cake from the jade rouge box and placed it on my palm. I carefully tapped my lips with a cherry drop and rubbed the rest of the rose cake along my cheeks. I asked her, "Could it be that my clothes aren't good-looking?"

As was my custom when I was dressed, the green cuckold, who specializes in clothes, prepared a bright and fresh dress and simple and generous jewelry for me. Just when the two maidservants thought that everything was fine, I rejected all of them. I had to open up several boxes to create a similar set.

When the two maidservants saw the beautiful colour, their stupefied expressions seemed to reappear before my eyes.

"Of course it's beautiful!" Lan Lingyun helped me tidy up the fringed red silk ribbon tied behind my head. "It's rare to see you dressed like this. I'm a little curious!"

I pursed my lips into a smile and wiped the rouge off my lips.

Of course, there was an important reason why he had to put on such a painstaking disguise.

"Miss, it is not that girl Lan Li that needs to be at home, is it okay?" This time it was Green Bucket and Mama Song and me in the same car.

"Don't worry!" I patted the hand of the green bandit who was sitting beside me. "That girl is very clever!"

Mother Song, who was at the side, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

"What's so funny about mother?" The green bandit first poured me a cup of tea, and then offered a cup of tea to Song Ma.

"This servant dares not." When her mother heard this, her smile disappeared.

This mother Song was a sincere person, so her way of doing things could be considered as reasonable. However, this person was a bit too shrewd, and couldn't help but feel somewhat dumbstruck. This mother Song sometimes thought that she was sent by her grandmother, always wanting to take over all the affairs in my yard. It's one thing if she has some tricks up her sleeve, but she's a person who doesn't know what to do, and she always wants to control two of my maids in my courtyard.

The two maidservants, Loulan, was exceptionally haughty, and could not quite catch the eye of her mother. I heard that Lan Ling saw a few maidservants gathered together in Grandmother's courtyard after she checked out the bill. She couldn't sit still any longer, so she also followed and kicked a few times. As she happened to be watched by Song Shuhang's mother, she came back and muttered a few words in front of me. But what I love is Lan Ling's lively and cheerful personality, but she smiled perfunctorily a few sentences before bringing the tea to see the guest off. Mother Song's expression changed, she sighed a few times, twisted her body a few times, and went back to the outer court rooms.

Ever since then, Mother Song's actions became increasingly solemn and respectful, as if she wanted to rely on her own righteousness. It was just that he didn't know that the mischievous young maidservants had told him everything while he was wearing a face mask.

In the face of such a person, as long as there is no basic conflict, I am willing to respect her will.

"Look at what Mommy said, Grandmother only sent you to my courtyard because she found you to be very mature and steady, so you can teach me a little bit. You're so modest, aren't you? You've let Grandmother down."

Mother Song was a very beautiful woman with white skin. At this moment, she laughed heartily after hearing what I said. She looked quite pleased with herself.

Seeing this, the green bandit couldn't help but to look at her with contempt. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up as he looked at his silly and happy mother a few times. I quickly threw a warning look at Lu Kui, who suppressed a smile and lowered his head.

"This servant was smiling because the last time Miss Lan came, she did not mention anything about Lady Lu Kui. This time when Lady Lu Kui came out, her eyes were full of concern for Miss Lan Li!"

Mother Song was still oblivious as she covered her mouth with a piece of pink silk and laughed.

I turned my head to watch the change in Green Buccaneer's expression.

First, she appeared to be cold, but soon her face was covered with a gentle smile.

"Mom, you're right!" That Lan Li girl of mine was just a bit careless. As an older sister, wouldn't it be better to give her more snacks? "

If Mother Song still didn't understand the meaning of Leng Ning in his words, then she would really be a bludgeon.

Looking at Mother Song's face, which was filled with a mixture of sneer and anger, I pursed my lips and smiled. In my heart, I secretly praised them. Good girls, it's not in vain that I've doted on you all in the past!

Sometimes you can't get on your back without bending over. You can't get in without fighting.

Fortunately, we arrived at the Jiang manor in no time. Lady Jiang and Second Miss Jiang were waiting at the entrance to welcome the guests. When the carriage arrived, the unfamiliar lady in front of me sent a few of her personal mothers to accompany her in personally. Seeing only me and a few servants coming out of the car, Lady Jiang smiled without the slightest hint of surprise. She even pulled my hand and praised, "Today's clothes are the most beautiful!"

I couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Lady Wen had already completed the task I gave her. She had completely exposed the little details about our family.

"Aunt, please don't tease me. I'm clearly wearing a brocade!" I smiled and took Lady Jiang's hand to exchange pleasantries.

"Child, you are truly capable!" Lady Jiang sized me up and down with her eyes full of smiles. "I have never seen you in heavy clothes before! I didn't expect the butler to be so kind as to be unable to teach them well, unlike us two wild girls! "

Second Young Miss Jiang, who was standing to one side and wearing a beige and green dressing gown, couldn't help but cast a wry smile at her mother.

Looking at his playful expression, the corners of my mouth curved into a smile.

When he entered the main house, he found that it was filled with young madams. Compared to the government, the house was much more prosperous and dignified. The ladies were chatting merrily as they went back and forth to amuse themselves. After greeting a few ladies whom I knew well, I was pulled by Lady Jiang to introduce them to the female servants of a lower ranking military general who was serving under General Jiang. While Lady Jiang was out ordering her maidservants to set lunch, I held her hand and whispered a few words to her.

"Aunt, you know me the best. You are the one who is dumb and can't speak the most." Furthermore, most of the people sitting at the head of the house were seniors. As a young lady who didn't go out with the family, I was unable to interrupt them. "Why don't you give me a discount and let me go to Big Sis Jiang's place to have some fun? I'll go and mess with her too!"

The women in the house were all married, and they often met each other. It was hard to make jokes. Although I've heard a lot of these dirty words in my past life, I'm still a girl after all. It's not good to just sit there and listen with a shy face, so I naturally have to think of a way to avoid it.

Of course, Madame Jiang knew the reason for my withdrawal and smiled in satisfaction, "You're absolutely right! It was supposed to be this way. "You sisters are good to begin with, and now that I don't know when we'll meet again, I think it's time for us to have a chat."

Giving the packing list to Madame Jiang's personal mother, Madame Jiang smiled and pointed to the two capable mothers. "You two must be careful when you send Miss Yang over. Don't teach anyone to offend her."

My heart thumped when I heard Lady Jiang's words.

What do you mean don't hit me?

The only ones who could freely enter and leave the inner courtyard were General Jiang and Mister Jiang. Putting aside the fact that the male guests of Master Jiang's residence who were busy with the female staff in the outer courtyard did not have the time to come to the second door, even if they met, they would only greet him from a distance. The only one left was Young Master Jiang.

Could it be … Did Madame Jiang know about my confrontation with Eldest Young Master Jiang last time?

But looking at Madame Jiang's smile, it was as if she didn't have any grudges against it.

Since Lady Jiang was still busy entertaining them, she would not stay any longer. After sending Second Miss Jiang to accompany me, I supported the maidservant back to the main hall with small steps.

"Why are you wearing such gorgeous clothes today?"

Second Miss Jiang held my hand. This was her first sentence.

The expressions of the two mothers behind him all changed. Jiang Ma, who was walking in the back unhurriedly, revealed a faint smile.

It seemed that this mother Jiang was not under the order of Madame Jiang. Clearly, Lady Jiang didn't assign her just now, but she could follow them without any scruples. From the looks of it, Madame Jiang treated her as a guest of honor!

"What about my clothes!" I laughed as I pulled at the gold ribbon hanging by my skirt. The small jade pendant that was hanging from the edge of the ribbon made a crisp sound when it collided with the pendant.

"My brother said that you are beautiful in the 'clear water produces hibiscus, it is natural to go carving,' but do you not have the slightest feeling of a hibiscus now?" Second Miss Jiang had a bitter smile on her face as she stared at the complicated clothing on my body with all her might, as if she could remove it with her gaze.

I secretly muttered in my heart, so it seems that I should still dress up well in the future!

Along the way, Second Miss Jiang actually said something childish, which made the servants behind her neither laugh nor cry. Fortunately, I had always loved her for being naive and straightforward. If I could answer, I would just say no. If I couldn't, I would just say no. She giggled as she held my hand without the slightest hint of anger.

After sending me to Eldest Miss Jiang's place, Second Miss Jiang naturally had to grumble over a few words with her sister before she was willing to get up. When Eldest Miss Jiang said that she would not help Lady Jiang entertain guests, Second Miss Jiang followed the two of them to escort my mother back to the front with an unwilling expression on her face.

"These are a few things I'm giving you. See if you like them or not."

Eldest Miss Jiang was an honest and generous woman, both demure and reserved. She also had the air of a general coming from a noble family. The two of us had always been straightforward, so before she could say anything, I dropped into a chair in the back.

The goose-yellow brocade cushion was still warm. It seemed like she had just made it.

Big Miss Jiang did not stand on ceremony either. The maidservants placed the things I brought with me on the table, and she immediately opened the embroidered box to take a look.

"Ah!" This is really beautiful! " Big Miss Jiang held up a white jade censer.

I smiled as I walked over to her and touched the censer. Big Miss Jiang was afraid that it would fall to the ground, so she carefully held it with her hand. The small box of spices inside was still flat.

"If you put this under the blanket, it's fine even if you kick your head."

Big Miss Jiang used her fingers to examine the incense burner. Her eyes curved like crescent moons as she asked with a smile, "Who came up with this idea? It's really ingenious!"

This was found when Shopkeeper Xiao showed me the list of gifts for Eldest Miss Xue. There was a "White Jade Hollow Bandits Middle Incense Furnace, 10 taels" on it. I was still wondering if buying a large incense burner on the ground would cost 10 taels of silver, how could Shopkeeper Xiao, who often walks in the business world, lose his eyesight?

It wasn't until I saw this delicate censer that I felt it was worth it.

The rest of the gifts were opened one by one by Miss Jiang. Some of them she liked, so she took them out to admire. Some of them she didn't like, but she would still smile faintly and thank me.

In the past half year, Miss Jiang had made rapid progress in the ways of the world.

"Aren't you going to pack these things in your room?"

Unlike Miss Wen's empty room, Miss Jiang's room was filled with scattered items that were missing from the Treasure Pavilion. The room was still neat and tidy, with some of the gold and silver items still fresh and vivid.

"My mother said that these items are too unpolished. She feared that my sister-in-law would look down on me for marrying them, so she arranged new ones for me." Eldest Miss Jiang held onto the Pear Blossom Wood Mica as she smiled and sighed.

This could be considered a sweet burden!

Perhaps it was because the Wen family's atmosphere was depressed, but they didn't feel that kind of joyous feeling at all. Endless anxiety stayed on the Wen family's mother and daughter, making it hard for them to breathe. The Jiang family, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. There were lanterns and decorations everywhere, and everyone was smiling from ear to ear, regardless of whether they were masters or servants.

"Open the box and let me see what is worthy of your Fang family's second young mistress!"

My teasing made the girl blush.

"How big is he now? He's not ashamed at all!" Big Miss Jiang smiled as she pinched my face before leading me through the inner room into the pavilion.

Taking out a key from her waist, Jiang Eldest Miss bent down and opened the box. Inside the box, it was filled with carvings of white and white jade. Then he turned around and opened another box. Inside was some jewelry, all made out of silver and inlaid with green jade.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth and laugh. "This is great!" "In the future, our second young mistress will have to wear a silver mask and a green shirt!"

Before he could finish his sentence, all of the maids in the room pursed their lips and smiled. The maid that was originally by Young Master Jiang's side had the most beautiful smile.

Not only did I see this smile that was like the blossoming of pear blossoms, Big Miss Jiang also saw the entire package. With a faint smile, Big Miss Jiang locked the box and invited me out for tea.
