Chapter 294: The Chaotic Matters in a Mansion Was Difficult to Settle Down
Pippa, Pippa~
It was early morning when a burst of firecrackers woke up Jia Yingchun. She turned her head to look at the sunken mark on the pillow next to her, feeling both comforted and somewhat disappointed.
After a while, she finally broke free from this chaotic mood and shouted, "Siqi, Xiuju
Squeak~
"Madam, you were probably awakened by the sound of that firecracker? I heard that the young nephew of East Courtyard passed the Imperial Examination. The servant who reported the good news came to your door early in the morning, beating gongs and drums," Xiuju added with a smile shortly after pushing the door in.
Jia Yingchun also heard about this matter from Sun Shaozong yesterday, but it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just asked Xiuju to assist her in changing and washing.
As she was tidying up her headdress in front of the mirror, she heard Siqi outside saying in surprise, "It's bustling outside. Why did Concubine Ruan come to our courtyard? What's up with finding our Madam?
Ruan Rong is here?
Jia Yingchun felt a bit flustered in her heart, as if she had become a thief and had been summoned by the bitter master.
Madam, don't panic.
Xiuju looked indifferent and reached out to insert her hairpin. She chuckled and said, "She doesn't know anything. Even if she knows, can she still turn the tide?
Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to... Don't let it out.
Jia Yingchun scolded her anxiously and then stroked her swollen chest, stabilizing her lively heart for a while. Only then did she lift her skirt and greet her with a graceful expression.
Ruan Rong had already sat down and was holding a tea cup while talking to Siqi.
Seeing Jia Yingchun come out from inside, she quickly stood up and smiled. "I heard that you caught a cold two days ago. I didn't dare to visit because I was breastfeeding my child. Now, looking at your face color, it's even more rosy than before. I think you have recovered, right?
Although she knew she was just complimenting her, Jia Yingchun couldn't help feeling a bit ashamed when she thought of the reason for her rosy complexion, and her words naturally lacked confidence.
Fortunately, she was a dull and taciturn person previously, and Ruan Rong didn't notice any flaws.
After the two guests took their seats, Ruan Rong smiled again and said, "Actually, I came to see you as I have something to discuss with you. When the Seventh Young Master saw the new maid that the Elder Master had bought, it was to his liking. The Second Master made the decision and promised him that he would send the person to his yard when he passed the Imperial Examination.
Now that the palace examination results have been released, the Seventh Young Master is ranked 43rd in the second class. Do you think..."
When Sun Shaozong made this promise, the marriage with Jia Yingchun had not yet been decided, so he casually decided. But now that Yingchun had already entered the door and wanted to send out the maid of her yard, she naturally needed her as the Master to nod.
Upon hearing that this was the case, Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and quickly said, "Since the Second Master has already decided and the Elder Master has not opposed it, please feel free to..."
Concubine Ruan.
Siqi suddenly rushed and said, "Our Madam just found out about this matter. She still has to talk with that servant girl, isnt she? Besides, since she is the servant girl in our yard, it's reasonable for our Madam to be the matchmaker. How dare we let you do all the work, Concubine Ruan?"
Her words were not entirely unreasonable, but her tone was somewhat aggressive.
After giving birth to her son, Ruan Rong's temperament became much more lenient, otherwise, she might have been annoyed a long time ago.
At present, Ruan Rong was just a bit unhappy and leaned over to Jia Yingchun, saying, "I didn't think carefully enough when I took the initiative of the Elder Madam. I still have some miscellaneous matters to deal with and I shall take my leave first.
As she spoke, she turned around and left.
Sister, stay here.
Jia Yingchun suddenly became anxious and quickly caught up with Ruan Rong, pleading, "Don't listen to Siqi's nonsense. It's up to you to handle this matter. I'm a newcomer and I don't know where to start.
Seeing Ruan Rong's hesitating expression on her face, she simply gritted her silver teeth and followed Baoyu's usual behavior, sticking her body up to act coquettishly and saying, "Good Sister, please~
Ruan Rong saw her utter sincerity.
This was why she headed back and arranged for the maid's dowry again.
But when Ruan Rong left, Siqi couldn't help but question, "What are you thinking, Madam? Since you have already been together with the Second Master, you should have taken the opportunity to show some power. How could you
Jia Yingchun shook her head and said, "That's great. I don't want to argue with anyone about anything.
After a pause, she blushed again and said, "Besides, her relationship with the Second Master is different from anyone else. If this is the reason the Second Master turned nasty to me, what should... I do?
Just looking at her fearful and shameful appearance, she knew that the second reason was the main one.
Second Master, Second Master, it was only two days and you are all mouthfuls of the Second Master. Forget it, I'm too lazy to meddle in these affairs.
Siqi stamped her foot in frustration and angrily left the living room.
After all, she had a criminal record before, and Jia Yingchun was afraid that she would do anything else, so she called Xiuju to persuade her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiuju was called out here, she saw Siqi fold back from outside and urgently urged, "Xiuju, quickly remove two or three pieces of the headgear from the wedding and add them to Madams head.
Yingchun and Xiuju were both puzzled, but they heard her stomp her feet and say, "Hurry up! The Second Madam Lian has come to visit. Since she had already made a splash on the day of returning home, we shouldn't let her underestimate us at home.
It turned out that Wang Xifeng had arrived.
Although Jia Yingchun was somewhat reluctant, both Siqi and Xiuju were active and tight, so they had to hurriedly add some jewelry and powder.
When the person in the mirror became even more radiant, Siqi then went out to greet Wang Xifeng and asked someone to invite her to the backyard to speak.
The master and servant waited for a moment at the door, and then they saw a tall and graceful figure coming in leisurely. From a long distance, they smiled like silver bells and said, "There were two groups of people in your mansion who reported good news early in the morning, but I didn't expect you to come at the door, right?
As she approached, she looked up and down at Jia Yingchun again and spoke loudly, "Wow. I haven't seen you for a few days now, and you have become more and more radiant, especially with your moistened face. It seems like you have been a bride again.
Although she knew she was joking, Jia Yingchun still felt a bit guilty and replied with a smirk, "You are making fun of me again, Sister-in-law. Come in and talk quickly.
She guided Wang Xifeng and Pinger into the courtyard.
Seeing that although the layout was not as exquisite as her own, it was even more spacious than her courtyard, Wang Xifeng, who had to excel in everything, felt a bit sour in her heart.
Originally, according to her temperament, she would say a few words to show off her authority, but when she thought about her intention to come this time, she forced herself to endure it again.
After the guests were seated in the inner room, Wang Xifeng shouted, "Pinger, go out and have some personal talk with Siqi and Xiuju. I'll call you in if there's anything else.
At first glance, there was something private to say, and the three maids naturally had to obediently retreat.
As soon as they left, Wang Xifeng simply went forward, grabbed the fragrant shoulder of Yingchun, and said with a smile, "I just said that I was an unwanted guest, and it was not a fraud. You were home that day, and I didn't have time to be alone with you. Today I finally had a chance to interrogate you!"
As she spoke, she pinched her rosy face again and forced her to say, "Tell me, when are you going to use the dowry I gave you?
