Qingguan was awakened by her call. It seemed that the marriage was closely related to the old Prince Qi's palace.
"Yue Niang, please find an opportunity to leave the mansion later and ask Chen Ping to go to Wanhua Building to inquire about the affairs of the Gao Mansion."
Yueniang nodded in agreement, and was about to ask the young lady about the Jiang family, when she heard Caiyun outside shouting: "Mother Tan is here."
Qingguan frowned and slowly sat up from the pit.
Chunni, who had not spoken for a long time, stepped forward to support him and said with a sneer: "It's definitely not good if you come to the door in the clear day."
Qingguan looked at the two maids behind Granny Tan, and secretly glanced at Chunni. As expected, the maid had figured it out.
Grandma Tan put down the tea cup and looked at Qingwan's face as white as jade, with a high and proud expression. "According to the rules, the young lady in the big house in Beijing must have few people around her to wait on her. The first six young ladies were sick, and they didn't know anyone except Yueniang and Chunni. Now that the illness is better, we can't let people say that the princess is The stepmother favors one thing over the other, and the two have followed each other for some time, and there are rules and so on.
They are all good. Miss Six can use them for your own use. "
A faint smile flowed from the corner of Qingwan's mouth. The title of messenger is actually a spy. From now on, every move in this courtyard will be under the eyes of the princess.
"Thank you, mother. I don't know if there are enough people in Sister Ling, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister's room. If not, give them orders first." Qingguan decided to be polite first and then attack, and to test the situation by retreating.
Nanny Tan sneered in her heart. What an idiot. If the princess alone adds more people to your house, wouldn't she be giving the eldest house and the two aunts a clue
"What a good boy. He also knows how to keep order. Miss Six, don't worry. The princess has said that they are all her daughters. No one can be wronged. Two first-class girls have been added to each girl's room."
The implication is that the person given to you by the princess will be counted as a first-class maid, and will serve in the lady's inner chamber.
Qingguan opened her eyes wide and looked at her brightly, saying: "Thank you, mother, for thinking about your daughter. It's just that Caiyun and Mingyue in my courtyard have been with me for five years and have suffered a lot of grievances from me. I have promised to promote them as Wait. So I can only wrong the two sisters."
Grandma Tan raised her voice and said: "How can two little maids serve in the room with their noisy work? When someone saw it, she thought that the Gu family didn't even have maids. The sixth lady had to ask questions before doing anything. Elders, please don't accept it casually. There are no rules at all." Qingguan pressed down the big hat, looking sideways at the two people behind her, and said softly: "Let me tell the truth to Grandma Tan. Doctor Jin said that it will take some time for my madness to be cured. If I get any stimulation now, I will still have an attack. I am afraid of hurting the two sisters.
Sister, that’s why…”
As Qingguan expected, the bodies of the two maids trembled twice in unison.
Qingguan smiled and said: "However, the people trained by Grandma Tan must not be afraid. Then let them be used in the house."
Grandma Tan was too lazy to talk nonsense, as long as these two people watched every move of the madman, no matter whether she was placed inside or outside the house.
She stopped laughing and said sternly: "That's right. There is one more thing that the princess asked the slave to tell Miss Six."
"Mother Tan, please speak."
"Last time, because of Miss Sixth's joke, the princess suffered a lot of grievances both internally and externally. Master, my wife got angry and said that the princess did not educate you well. From tomorrow on, Miss Sixth will be treated like the other ladies. , come to the princess to learn the rules."
Qingguan frowned slightly, looking unhappy.
Grandma Tan said unceremoniously: "Miss, all of you must follow rules in everything you say and do. Without rules, there will be no success. Those like Miss Six who speak unobtrusively and bring harm to the elders in the house must learn from it."
Qingguan sneered in his heart. Grandma Tan always followed the rules, and her words were better than her singing. According to the rules, she, a respectable slave, should lower her eyebrows and lower her eyes when meeting her legitimate daughter, and should not even sit down.
Qingguan held the tea cup and looked at Chunni with warm eyes.
Chunni understood and sneered: "Mammy is sitting on the throne, drinking hot tea. A slave is more like a master than a master. According to the rules of the Jiang family, such a slave should have been sent away long ago."
Grandma Tan's old face changed color instantly. This little bitch dares to make trouble with her, let's see how she handles it.
Just as Granny Tan was about to open her mouth, Qingguan had already spoken: "You girl deserves a beating. How can the rules of the Jiang family be better than those of our family? My mother was born in the royal palace, and the rules are the best. The people she trained have good moral character." Everything is good.”
"Miss, I clearly heard my ancestor say..."
"Shut up!"
Qingguan put the tea cup down, looked at Nanny Tan coldly and said, "What our ancestors said may not be right. Nanny, do you think it is or not?"
How can Grandma Tan answer
The ancestor of the Jiang family was someone who even showed courtesy to the current emperor when he met him. Even if what she said was wrong, no one would dare to say otherwise.
She suddenly jumped up from her chair, her aura weakened a lot, and she said hurriedly: "There is something else going on in the princess's courtyard, I will go first."
Qingguan watched Nanny Tan run away in panic, without even a hint of a smile on her face, and her eyes were like swords, roving over the two maids.
Qingguan's eyes had always been cold, and there was a bit of chill on his face that was deliberately imposing, as if he had become a different person.
The two people had never seen Miss Sixth look like this before. They were so frightened that their legs spun and they knelt down in the middle of the room.
Qingguan didn't scream, only letting the two of them kneel in fear. She didn't have much time to waste on her two maids. If she didn't shock them at first, it would be difficult to train them later.
Perhaps the charcoal basin in this room was burning too brightly. On such a cold day, the two maids actually broke out in cold sweat.
Why is this sixth lady different from usual? Her aura is even more powerful than that of the angry princess. What should they do in the future
After a cup of tea, Qingguan slowly opened her mouth.
"What are their names?"
"Slave Fang'er."
"Slave Chun'er."
Qingguan raised her eyebrows calmly and said softly: "I don't like this name, so I changed it. Your name is Honghua, your name is Dingxiang."
Safflower, lilac
The lady gave the two people a medicine name. Yueniang suppressed the laughter in her heart and said sternly: "Thank you, lady, for the name."
The good name was changed to such a tacky one, Honghua and Dingxiang, although they were unwilling to do so, they could only kowtow to express gratitude.
Qingguan smiled with satisfaction. After the smile passed away, something sharp appeared in the corners of his eyes.
"When you enter my courtyard, you have to follow my rules. I don't care who you are and what mission you secretly carry. But one thing you need to remember is that I dare to bite even the wise king and want to kill him. Two maids are too simple. If you don’t believe it, just give it a try.”
The two maidservants turned pale with fright and couldn't help but look at each other.
My dear, is this sixth lady’s madness cured? Why did Grandma Tan say she wanted to kill the maid as soon as she left? According to common sense, one should not settle people down respectfully, and then bribe them with some money and jewelry to slowly win them over.
Chunni added maliciously, saying: "Miss, there are many ways to die, including beating to death, poisoning to death, starvation to death, and biting to death. Just poisoning one to death, and there are hundreds of poisons in the world that can kill people." Bleeding from seven holes.”
Qingguan nodded and smiled: "When I'm sick, I like to use a knife to cut off people's flesh one by one. It's fun."
As soon as these words came out, the red flowers and lilacs softened into a puddle of mud.
Yueniang and Chunni each supported the other and helped them up.
Seeing that the two of them were almost frightened, Qingguan smiled and said: "As long as you don't enter my house, don't gossip outside, and don't inform the old master, my illness will not occur. You all You are a smart person and you know what is important. I will give you the monthly schedule for the first-class maid as promised."
Honghua and Dingxiang were frightened to death. They couldn't say a complete sentence, so they just nodded desperately.
In the Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Wei brought the box in front of her eyes. After looking at it carefully, she said leisurely: "Tell me what happened in that mansion."
Qingzhi thought for a while and spoke out one by one.
After hearing this, Wei's expression was a little complicated.
After countless calculations, no one was found to be suitable for marriage in the Jiang family, except for the sixth master Jiang Hongyan and the seventh master Jiang Hongwen.
The sixth master, Jiang Hongyan, was the direct descendant of the third family. How can a legitimate grandson marry a concubine
The seventh master, Jiang Hongwen, is a tyrant in the capital. He has nothing to do except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Although she was a direct descendant, no aristocratic woman was willing to marry her because of her reputation. If the second girl married such a man, I'm afraid she would shed more tears than smile.
Wei frowned and sighed.
She had just entered the capital and didn't know much about the affairs in the capital. She only knew that the Jiang family was in the emperor's heart, but she had never inquired about the situation of the children and grandchildren of the Jiang family.
As long as the Jiang family has a grandson who is a concubine, she can help discuss the marriage of these two girls. Now it seems that there is not much hope for this to happen.
Qingzhi didn't know that Madam was worried about her marriage. When she saw her sighing, she curved her mouth and said, "Okay, why are you sighing, but who has made grandma angry?"
Mrs. Wei remained silent, and after a while, she finally said, "Someone came to propose marriage to you a few days ago."
Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, blushing and saying nothing. She wondered if someone proposed marriage to her so quickly. Could it be that her father was the one pulling the strings
Seeing this, Mrs. Wei said quietly: "You were raised by me, and I won't hide some things from you. I was very dissatisfied with this marriage and refused directly."
Qingzhi was stunned again.
Seeing that she didn't know what was going on, Mrs. Wei told her the inside story of the Gao family one by one.
This statement only made Qingzhi so angry that stars appeared in her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks.
It is true that he is a concubine, and his biological mother is born into a family, so he has a low status, but his biological father is still a third-rank official in the court. A concubine from a dignified official family, at an age as young as a flower, actually wanted to be the second wife of a man in his thirties. This... this... even though Qingzhi thought about it, she never expected that the person who proposed marriage would be so miserable.
