Xianglan really almost gave Ji Changze a show and fainted on the spot.
But in the end she didn't faint.
First of all, it may be because she also discovered that Ji Changze didn't seem to like this. This nine-year-old son-in-law from the countryside had a problem with his brain. He was thinking about how to make his status look noble, and he didn't look at this charming girl like her at all. One glance.
On the other hand, she was also worried that if she really fainted, Ji Changze, the consort who did not follow the routine at all, would say, "Xianglan, you don't seem to be in good health. Forget it, you are not suitable to be a maid, I will sell you." Give her to the old man" reason to sell her.
Although it sounds nonsense.
But judging from Xianglan's short experience of dealing with Ji Changze.
This Nine Prince Consort can really do such a thing! ! !
So, in the end, Xianglan still lived in the woodshed.
But she still couldn't escape the pig pen.
Ji Changze said that he wanted to build a pigsty next to the woodshed.
What he meant by building a pigsty was that he would let Xianglan do all the details of where to build the pigsty, such as building walls and digging pits.
"Aren't you the most capable girl around fifth brother-in-law? It's normal to leave this to you."
Xianglan: “…”
Being the most capable doesn't mean she can even build a pigsty! ! !
But even though she said she didn't know how, Ji Changze always acted like "It doesn't matter, I'm a nice person and I can teach you."
"Actually, it's very simple. You can learn it by just learning it. If you still can't learn it, it doesn't matter. I won't dislike you for not knowing anything."
Xianglan always felt that his next sentence would be "But I will find you an old husband."
She was full of grievances.
The original plans, plans, sowing dissension and honey traps were all useless.
Because Ji Changze either went out to eat and drink with the consorts during the day, or went to chat with Uncle Huber.
As for Jiang Xinyan and the others, they were called to the palace almost every day.
As for the pandan that was left at home.
She needs to finish cooking before everyone returns home, clean the entire house including the yard, and take time to build a pig pen.
Ji Changze, a country boy and a serious nobleman with few abilities. He could neither recite poems, compose poems nor appreciate beauties, but he was actually able to predict the normal progress of Xianglan in building a pig pen.
If she is slacking off even a little bit, she will be noticed and scolded vigorously.
After reprimanding her, she was not allowed to sleep, and was only allowed to continue building the pigsty.
If she is not covered as much as she should be during the day, she will not be allowed to leave.
Because Ji Changze had nothing to do during the day, he could even move a chair and sit in the yard to supervise the work.
Sometimes, if the Ninth Prince Consort is in a good mood, he will bring a table to the yard to watch the moon and eat cakes with the Ninth Princess.
Of course, Pandan moved the table.
The pastries are also made from pandan.
After they finished admiring the moon, she had to wash the dishes and move the table back.
In just eight days, Xianglan became haggard.
She was unable to eat and rest normally. She was busy every day when she opened her eyes. She also had to cover the pig pen with cold meat. The skin on her face was visibly roughened to the naked eye.
There are also some less obvious spots.
And the tanning effect is very significant.
If Xianglan could be considered an excellent soft beauty before, then now she is at most like a pretty civilian woman.
And it’s also a tanned version.
Jiang Xinyan was worried at first whether the consort would have any thoughts about Xianglan.
Ever since she witnessed the prince-in-law treating Xianglan like a beast, she no longer worried about this.
I did persuade him.
After all, Pandan looks so pitiful.
Ji Changze sent her back with a few words.
Euphemistically speaking, this is training pandan.
"We are not a family that insists on detaining the girl's identity. Xianglan is only here to help us for a few years. After a few years, we have another girl, and I still want to let her go and be a good man. .”
"She doesn't have much family. She is the only one left in the family. She is still a girl. She didn't know anything when she first came to our house. How will she live after she is released? So, we have to help her while she is still here. Train her well, and when she is released, she can live a good life."
I have to say, this reason is quite good.
At least Jiang Xin, who is only fifteen years old this year, is tired of believing it.
Not only did she believe him, she also looked at Ji Changze with admiration.
"Husband-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted that you would consider this for a girl."
Ji Changze's face was filled with pride:
"The princess also knows that I was born a commoner. It is precisely because I was born a commoner that I know more about the sufferings of poor families. When I met a poor person like Xianglan who had no choice but to sell herself after her whole family died, I naturally thought that I could help someone. It’s a handful.”
If he wanted to deceive people, he would make all the birds in the sky fall off him, not to mention Jiang Xinyan, who was already easy to deceive.
For a moment, in Jiang Xinyan's heart, her consort was the kindest and most considerate person in the world.
She also sighed to Chunzhu:
"I really didn't expect that the consort would actually plan for Xianglan like this. Xianglan should really be grateful to the consort."
Pandan was mopping the floor and eavesdropping:
“…”
This job is impossible! !
Everyone here is crazy! ! !
She wants to go home! !
She desperately wants to go home! ! !
Finally one day, Xianglan found an opportunity.
She took advantage of Ji Changze to go out to talk to Huber again, ran to the fifth prince-in-law, and began to cry to her about what she had experienced these days.
Xianglan knew exactly where the five consorts usually played.
She would not normally go to the Fifth Prince Consort. After all, the Fifth Prince Consort had the Fifth Princess watching over him. If the Fifth Princess knew that a woman had gone to the Fifth Prince Consort, she would definitely be furious.
But this time, she really couldn't care so much.
But even though they found the fifth prince-in-law, the meeting did not go as smoothly as expected.
When Xianglan saw the Fifth Prince Consort, she burst into tears as usual, and when she rushed toward him, the Fifth Prince Consort subconsciously accepted the offer at first.
When he lowered his head, he saw a woman with wheat-colored skin and a bit of sunburn raising her eyes and smiling at him: "Young Master."
"OMG!!!"
The five women who had been around the Fifth Prince Consort since childhood were all pretty and fair. But now he was so frightened that he had no time to react and pushed her out with a scream.
This time the force was so great that Xianglan fell heavily to the ground and looked up at the five princes in disbelief.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
The fifth prince-in-law shivered twice before he could see clearly who it was: "Xiang, Xianglan? Why are you like this?"
"Not the Nine Prince Consort."
Speaking of this, Xianglan didn't bother to ask why the fifth prince-in-law pushed her down, and immediately covered her mouth and started crying.
"It's cleaning and cooking. It's me who washes the pots and pans. I'm also the one who builds the walls. I even get the firewood. I said it was a monthly payment, but in the end I only gave thirty cents a month. .”
"The Ninth Princess is simply fascinated by the Consort. The Ninth Consort treats me like that. She actually thinks that the Ninth Consort is doing it for my own good and to train me. I finally understand. No matter what the Ninth Consort does, the Ninth Princess feels that What he did was right, young master, please show your kindness and take me back."
Xianglan was really aggrieved. She didn't even use the soft sobs she used to do before, and she burst into tears.
"I really can't live a day like this anymore."
"cough!"
The Fifth Prince Consort wanted to take pity on Xianglan, but when he saw her like this, he couldn't say those sweet words.
He could only tell the business directly:
"It's not easy to alienate the Ninth Princess, so go seduce the Ninth Prince Consort. He comes from the countryside and has never seen much of the world. Once you seduce him, you'll be sure to take the bait."
Speaking of this, Xianglan cried even more aggrieved.
"Master, you don't know, I tried to seduce him, but when I went to help the Nine Prince Consort to grind ink, he thought I was weak, so I added some clothes to him, and he said he took them off because he was hot. Last time I saw him, There was no more tea, so I gave him more tea, but do you know what he said?"
The Fifth Prince Consort shook his head, his intuition telling him that it was definitely not something he could think of.
Pandan collapsed and cried:
"He actually said that since there was no more tea, he asked me to fetch two buckets of water. There was no well water in their yard yet. I walked for a long time before I got to the well, and it was so difficult to bring back two buckets of water."
"Master, Xianglan really can't stand it anymore, please take me back!!"
The fifth prince-in-law frowned: "Tsk, this Ji Changze, I knew before that even though he became the prince-in-law, he still looks like a country boy. I didn't expect that he can't even do things on the stage."
"To a beauty like you..."
As he spoke, seeing the current appearance of Xianglan, he swallowed back the rest of his words:
"It's so charming to be willing to let you do heavy work for such a pretty person like you."
Xianglan sobbed: "I have some beauty, but the Ninth Princess is much prettier than this slave. Even so, I don't see how the Ninth Prince Consort is doing. Although he is usually nice to the Ninth Princess, the two of them are not sleeping now." On the same bed."
"Oh? Please tell me carefully."
The fifth prince consort suddenly became energetic.
If a couple doesn't share the same bed, there must be something wrong!
Xianglan said quickly: "The Ninth Prince Consort made a small bed from outside, and he usually sleeps on that bed. Although he is still in the same room as the Ninth Princess, in the past few days, when I have been here, every time I go to clean up, the Nine Prince Consort is... It's on that little bed."
The five princes were overjoyed.
It seems that their efforts were not in vain.
There was indeed a rift between Ji Changze and Ninth Princess.
If you continue to follow the same path as before, you will definitely be able to wait for the day when the two of them break up.
After thinking about it, he said perfunctorily:
"Things have just progressed. You should go back and seduce Ji Changze. You are so pretty... you are considered pretty. Ji Changze will definitely take the bait."
Xianglan: “…”
She felt that Ji Changze might not take the bait yet, so she should stop cooking first.
But she didn't dare to disobey the Fifth Prince Consort's order, so she could only go back aggrievedly.
You might be tired when you go back.
But if he doesn't listen to the Fifth Prince Consort, he may die.
As soon as he returned, he faced Ji Changze sitting in the yard.
Her heart sank, and she quickly explained: "I went out to buy groceries, it's not that I didn't work."
"fine."
Ji Changze did not blame her, but said: "I thought about it carefully and I still can't raise pigs in the yard. You don't need to build a pig pen anymore."
Xianglan was delighted.
Before she could say anything, Ji Changze said again:
"You fill up this hole again, and build a rabbit nest over there. We can raise rabbits, and the rabbits are easy to feed and friendly to you."
Jiang Xinyan also came out of the house and saw that he had just been brainwashed by Ji Changze. He opened his mouth and said, "Zhangze, you are always thinking of others."
Xianglan: “…”
Otherwise she might as well die.
