Chapter 40 The County Head

However, Zhuang Qingru and Jin Qiaozhen failed to see Jiang Changning. Xiulan came out to deal with them, "The girl went to the Zhou family to pay homage to Mother Zhou."

"Then let's come back tomorrow. Tell cousin Ning to wait for me at home," Zhuang Qingru said.

"If Auntie Zhuang has anything to say, you can tell this slave. I will tell you. If there is nothing important, Auntie Zhuang should not come over. My girl will thank guests behind closed doors and will not see anyone else."

Xiulan looked at Jin Qiaozhen who was standing next to Zhuang Qingru, and knew what Zhuang Qingru had planned, which was why he refused to let them see Jiang Changning and cause trouble for Jiang Changning.

"Asshole, you girl, you are so brave!" Zhuang Qingru scolded angrily.

Xiulan said calmly: "See you off."

After saying that, he ignored Zhuang Qingru and turned around to leave.

"Stop," Zhuang Qingru shouted loudly.

A few rough and powerful women stopped her and said, "Aunt Zhuang, please."

Zhuang Qingru didn't want to quarrel with his servants, so he had to leave Jiang's house first.

"Cousin Ru, what should we do now?" Jin Qiaozhen never expected such a situation.

"Wait, I don't believe she won't come back." Zhuang Qingru gritted his teeth.

The July sun was scorching, and even if the carriage was in the shade, it was still so hot that it made people breathless.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the two of them were flushed and sweating profusely.

Zhuang Qingru had to say: "We will come back tomorrow."

Jin Qiaozhen didn't say anything. She felt that she wouldn't be able to see Jiang Changning tomorrow.

As she expected, she came three times in a row without seeing anyone. Jin Qiaozhen finally knew that it was her aunt's idea to ask her to be a concubine.

Jin Qiaozhen refused to follow Zhuang Qingru to Jiang's house anymore, "If this doesn't work out, I'd better find someone else, like my cousin."

Wu and Zhuang Qingru were so angry that their plan failed.

It happened that Zou knew about it.

Mrs. Zou ran to Mrs. Zhuang and applied Wu's eye drops.

Mrs. Zhuang called Mrs. Wu over and scolded her, "You are a fool who fails to accomplish anything but fails to accomplish anything."

Wu was scolded so hard that she couldn't hold her head up and didn't dare to defend herself.

No matter how much internal strife the bankers have, it has nothing to do with Jiang Changning.

On the first day of August, someone knocked on the door of Jiang's house.

Knowing that he was the chamberlain who came to read out the Queen Mother's decree, Jiang Changning showed a mocking smile, and what was meant to come would come.

The Queen Mother canonized Jiang Changning as the Lord of Chun'an County, which is located in Hangzhou.

Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows. The Queen Mother was very generous. She actually made her the county head with real salary instead of the county head with an empty name.

"Such a big sweet date, you're not afraid of choking me to death." Jiang Changning lowered his eyes and looked at the gold embroidery on the county chief's uniform, with a faint sarcastic sneer on his lips.

"Congratulations, girl, no, you should be called the County Lord." Several maids said happily.

"I'm not a county master. Keep calling me girl. I'm used to it." Jiang Changning turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Several maids looked at each other and quickly asked people to move the incense table away.

Jiang Changning was granted the title of County Lord, and all the prefectures in Beijing received the news, with varying reactions.

Song Yirou was the most disdainful, "She is worthy of an orphan girl."

Princess Jin, who was pruning flowers, put down her scissors and said disdainfully: "Even if she is made princess, she is not worthy of my son."

The mourning concubine Qiao, who was looking through the account books, sneered, "The Queen Mother will really make her look good."

Chen Yi sighed: "What a good life."

Mrs. Wu was complaining to Mrs. Zhuang, "On that day, the old lady should have been tougher and not let Ning Yatou move out."

Jiang Changning smiled, "Although I haven't received the county master's salary yet, I still have enough money to treat the prince to a meal."

When he arrived at the inner gate of the palace, King Jin stepped up to the chariot and said, "My Lord, please remember that you owe me a meal."

"I don't dare forget Chun'an." Jiang Changning leaned forward and said.

After King Jin's chariot had walked a short distance, Jiang Changning got on her chariot and went to Fushou Palace.
