Chapter 49 Lessons
Although the value of Jiang Changning's 358 dowry is far more than that of the Pu family, in terms of quantity, it is indeed two less than the Pu family. It is not more than the Pu family, and it is acceptable in terms of etiquette.
But Jiang Nan ignored one thing. This promotion exceeded Qiao's. Originally, Pu's promotion exceeded hers, and now a step-concubine also surpassed her.
After hearing the maid's report, Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she banged the Kang table and cursed: "The face of the nouveau riche is full of the smell of copper."
On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, all the dowry was carried into the west courtyard, and the main room, east and west wing rooms were packed to the brim.
After Jiang Changning marries in, we will slowly get back together.
Fangju and several maids who brought her dowry lived in a corner room and guarded the pile of boxes.
In the evening, King Jin came over. Looking at the courtyard decorated with lights and colorful decorations, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let them be careful about the candles."
Tomorrow is his big day, and he doesn't want to make any mistakes.
After looking at the main courtyard, the backyard, and the east courtyard, King Jin walked to the west courtyard and asked, "Are you the ones serving the county lord?"
"Yes." Fangju lowered her head and replied.
"My maid, Lu Lu, has met the prince." The maid standing behind Fang Ju took two steps forward and saluted King Jin in an alluring manner.
Fang Ju raised her head and stared at her, her eyes as sharp as a knife, wishing she could kill the egret with her eyes.
She never expected that Lu Eunsu would have a crush on Prince Jin! She was still seducing the prince at this moment. How did the prince view his girl?
In Fangju's worry, King Jin said: "You will tell Youzhong what the county master likes to eat later, and let others prepare it first, so as not to starve the county master."
After saying this, he turned around and left with Cao Jiang without even glancing at the corner of his eye.
It is impossible for King Jin to pay attention to the egret. Even if tomorrow is not his wedding day, he will not sleep with a maid casually. He is not an impatient person.
"Your Majesty." Heron shouted without giving up.
"Youzhong, you helped to take care of some unruly things." King Jin said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chang Youzhong responded.
The King of Jin added: "I will get married tomorrow, no bloodshed, anything else is optional."
Heron's legs gave way and he fell to the ground, his face pale.
Chang Youzhong bowed to Fangju and asked with a smile: "I wonder what I call the girl?"
"Hello, father-in-law, my servant's name is Fang Ju, and she is the person who serves the county lord. This egret was only called in to help because she wanted to calculate the dowry. Normally, she is not serving the county lord." Fang Ju seized the opportunity to explain that she could not let him.
The prince misunderstood that his girl was immodest.
"Miss Fangju, you heard the prince's instructions just now. This bitch doesn't obey the rules. How do you think she should be dealt with?"
"Sister Fangju, I know I was wrong, please spare me this time." Lu Yu knew this was her last chance.
Fang Ju took a step to the side, avoiding the hand she grabbed, "Father, how do you deal with such a person who betrays his master? How do you deal with it in the house?"
"Okay, then let's do it for you once more, and ask Miss Fangju to give you a nice word when you get in front of the princess."
Fangju smiled and said: "Girls are the most sensible. They will only thank my father-in-law with courtesy and will not blame him."
With or without this sentence, Chang Youzhong would have to do something, but with this sentence, he was happier, "Someone, drag this bitch down."
"No, no, sister Fangju, help me, father-in-law, please spare me... uh uh uh..." Lu Yu's mouth was covered and dragged down.
"Miss Fangju, our family has gone to do some errands. You should rest early. You will still be busy tomorrow." Chang Youzhong said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." Fangju bowed her knees and saluted.
After Chang Youzhong led the people away, Fang Ju turned around and looked at the other four maids, "It seems Xiulan is too generous to you, even if you dare to have other thoughts, good, good.
"
The four maids were so frightened that they all knelt down. One of them, who was a little bolder, said, "Sister Fangju, we will never dare to have such bad thoughts. The reason why the egrets have such thoughts is because they are instigated by others."
"Who is it?" Fangju asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Qin is the woman the old lady asked to come over to serve the girl."
Fangju frowned. When she moved out of the banker's house, the girl didn't take the two women with her, leaving them behind at the banker's house.
"When did Lu Eun see that Mrs. Qin?"
"Just a few days ago, Lu Eunsu went to the back alley to buy silk thread and met Mrs. Qin. They talked for a long time."
Fangju asked displeasedly: "Why don't you report this matter?"
"I thought they were just chatting and didn't pay much attention."
"Forget it, let's get some water, wash up, and go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow." Fang Ju knew that now was not the time to worry about this matter. We would wait until the girl got married.
Over at Jiang Zhai, Duke Xinxin and Princess Jiashan have already arrived.
Jiang Changning had already ordered his servants to tidy up the yard and provide accommodation for the two of them.
As soon as you walked in, you smelled a faint fruity aroma, and light smoke curled up from the jade carved incense burner.
The furnishings in the room are also elegant and exquisite, with landscape paintings hanging on the walls and ornaments of various materials placed on the Duobao grid.
In the corner, there was a gilt copper charcoal stove half a person's height, which made the room warm as spring.
Duke Xinjian went straight to the landscape painting, "This painting by Li Gong Xianxi has a vast atmosphere, clear smoke and forest, sharp edges, and fine ink powder. This is a treasure and a good painting."
"Just keep it if you like it," the eldest princess of Jiashan said with a smile.
"This is someone else's thing."
"Who in Beijing doesn't know that you like Li Xianxi's paintings? That girl hung this painting here just to give it to you."
Duke Xinjian raised his eyebrows, "So, this painting is the thank you gift that girl gave us."
"Although this girl is young, she is perceptive and sensitive. I used to care about Boy Yu's face, but now I am willing to give this child dignity even if it is not for Boy Yu's sake."
The eldest princess of Jiashan touched the jade box in her arms and said, "I gave this treasure to her in vain."
"I like this thank you gift, but you don't like it. Are you willing to give this treasure to her?" Duke Xinjian asked with a smile.
"My thank you gift will not be worse than yours." Princess Jiashan smiled, "Boy Yu and Ning Yatou are smart people."
"Putting two smart people together, I'm afraid the palace man's plan will come to nothing." Duke Xinjian said with a smile.
The eldest princess of Jiashan snorted coldly, "That self-righteous and smart woman."
Duke Xinjian smiled, "Okay, it's time for you to go."
"You think I'm disturbing your viewing of paintings here? OK, I'll go find that girl." The eldest princess of Jiashan carried the jade box to the courtyard where Jiang Changning lived.
Jiang Changning was taking a bath with medicinal plum blossom stamens. The stamens had no medicinal smell and had a light aroma.
After bathing, Jiang Changning put on a brand new robe embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, a red middle coat, wrapped in a cotton cloak, and left the bathroom.
"Girl, the eldest princess is in Nuan Pavilion." Shu Fei reported in a low voice.
Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, the eldest princess of Jiashan had fulfilled her responsibility and came to provide her with pre-marriage education.
Seeing the plain-faced Jiang Changning, the eldest princess of Jiashan smiled and praised: "What a pretty lady with clear water and lotus flowers."
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess eldest." Jiang Changning bowed his knees slightly.
