MTL - A Scumbag Father Doting on His Concubine-Chapter 31 concubine room
Because the Haitang Garden and Tingzhu Garden were tidied up in a hurry, and Madam Qi did it on purpose, they were quite simple and crude, with almost no decent decorations.
But Jiang Liniang and Mrs. Jiang didn't care at all.
Their own family property is also quite rich, and there are some good things. Lord Xie has taken care of them all these years.
Although Qi is in charge of all these matters, she doesn't dare to skimp on them, otherwise she won't be able to please her.
The mother and daughter have been staring at her fault.
Besides, now that she has entered the Hou Mansion, Jiang Liniang has the confidence to take advantage of the Hou Ye, so what's the rush?
There is nothing particular about taking a concubine, as soon as someone enters the house, everyone in the house knows that Aunt Jiang has come, that's all.
Master Xie Hou naturally wouldn't wrong Aunt Jiang and make people look down on her, so she stayed in Haitang Garden that night.
This night, the Begonia Garden was full of firewood and fire, like paint and glue, Cuiwei Hall was as usual, but Mingse Hall Qi was so angry that he only fell asleep indiscriminately in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, Master Xie went to the upper yamen with a happy face and a happy face. Before he left, he sent someone to tell the housekeeper to buy things for Aunt Jiang, mother and daughter according to the list they made. Reward half a month's money.
The old lady, two wives, two young ladies and the young master also have a share, and they get two extra months of money from the company.
The Qi mother and daughter were so angry that they almost vomited blood!
Xie Yunshu received twenty taels a month, Su’s fifty taels, and the old lady’s two hundred taels. Now the mother and daughter received another one hundred and forty taels. It was a great joy.
Aunt Jiang's black hair is combed in a cloud bun, with pink begonia piles of gauze flowers, double-knotted wishful hairpins, and magpie climbing plum hairpins. She is wearing begonia red and silver silk dark wishful cloud pattern begonias, an autumn-colored long skirt, and a maid playing the piano. , Bixiao accompanied her to serve tea to the head mistress.
The tea ceremony was specially arranged in a flower hall, with Su and Qi sitting on both sides.
Mrs. Liu led people in, and Qi and Su had already set up circular kneeling mats, and Xie Yunshu and Xie Yunqian sat at the bottom.
Seeing Aunt Jiang coming in with a radiant face and a shy face, Qi Shi was almost shot in the chest and couldn't stand it. Xie Yunqian hummed directly.
Su Shi smiled reservedly, while Xie Yunshu was full of smiles.
Anyway, when Qi's mother and daughter are unhappy, she is happy.
"Aunt Jiang, serve tea to the mistress!" said Mrs. Liu.
Aunt Jiang picked up a cup of tea from the tea tray brought by the maidservant, knelt down in front of Su Shi, and held the tea cup high with both hands and offered it over her head: "Concubine Jiang pays her respects to the mistress and presents tea to the eldest lady."
Baixiang beside the eldest lady took the teacup and presented it to Mrs. Su, who took a sip, motioned for Baixiang to present a meeting gift. Inside the small box was a pair of plum blossoms and nobiles.
"From now on, serve Master Hou well!"
"Yes, my concubine will definitely serve Lord Hou and Da Furen wholeheartedly."
When she knelt down, Mrs. Qi's face was already very ugly. She deliberately didn't introduce Mrs. Su as the eldest lady, just to let Aunt Jiang make a statement and see who she knelt down to worship first.
If she worships herself first, then it doesn't matter if she tolerates her a little or two. If Mrs. Su is fussy about such a small matter, she won't be afraid to make a fuss. Aunt Jiang's "I don't know" and her "I think she knows" will explain it. .
This fart is a big deal, and it wasn't worth worrying about.
She didn't want to, she knelt down and bowed to Mrs. Su without hesitation! Okay, okay, she is the country woman standing in line, right? Then don't blame her for being rude!
Qi's anger was double-layered: Did someone choose Su instead of her? Are you blind?
When Aunt Jiang offered tea to herself, Qi accepted it with the disgust of nausea. She also rewarded her with something, and quickly pointed out that there was something to do and left.
It's not that she didn't want to humiliate Aunt Jiang, but Su Shi didn't do that. If she did, wouldn't it make Su Shi gentle and virtuous, and herself a narrow-minded villain?
Compared to this, the Qi family is of course more unwilling to lose to the Su family, so he has to hold his nose and bear it. Today is considered cheap for Aunt Jiang!
After Qi's mother and daughter left, Su smiled at Aunt Jiang and said, "Aunt Jiang, can I go to pay my respects to the old lady?"
Aunt Jiang's eyes lit up, she nodded quickly to accompany her smile: "It's my concubine's blessing to be invited by Da Furen, and I can't wait for it! Both my concubine and my concubine's mother should go to pay respects to the old lady!"
Su said with a smile: "If you have such a heart, the old lady must be happy. You go back first, I will ask the old lady, and then I will tell you."
"Yes, Mrs. Xie!"
Su Shi nodded, and left with Xie Yunshu.
Aunt Jiang bowed her knees behind and saluted: "The concubine is sending off the eldest lady!"
Xie Yunshu wanted to laugh in her heart, this Aunt Jiang is really capable.
Her mother is also very capable.
The mansion will definitely be very lively!
Anyway, Xie Yunshu doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.
Mrs. Su and Xie Yunshu went to Songhe Hall to accompany the old lady to have breakfast together. When she mentioned Aunt Jiang by the way, Mrs. Xie was really interested. After hearing Mrs. Su praised her twice for being gentle and courteous, Mrs. Xie even more from a good impression.
Mrs. Su smiled and said that when Aunt Jiang and her daughter wanted to come over to say hello to the old lady, the old lady Xie agreed without thinking.
Nurse Ling smiled and sent someone to invite her.
Today's tea service went very smoothly, Aunt Jiang was very happy, and both mother and daughter were very grateful to Mrs. Su.
If it weren't for the presence of Su Shi, Qi Shi's sinister and vicious smiling tiger, who knows how to toss it!
"In the future, we will all be on the side of the eldest lady and the eldest lady, Liniang, you have to keep it in mind, you know?"
Jiang Liniang smiled: "How can I not know this? Don't worry, mother!"
Mrs. Jiang reminded emphatically: "In short, you have to keep in mind all the time. The boldness and courage of the eldest lady are not something ordinary people can have. How long have you been in Beijing? She has the ability to count as Qi's family! Her relatives Niang firmly holds the position of the original wife, and I think she probably has her means. Their mother and daughter must not be underestimated. Since we are in the team, we must do it honestly, and we must not betray and change, otherwise, The eldest lady is getting angry, I'm afraid the two of us together are no match for her!"
Jiang Liniang was taken aback: "Mother, Missy is not so powerful."
Ms. Jiang sneered: "To be honest, I'm a little afraid of her, and I can't see through her mind. You must remember what mother said."
Jiang Liniang naturally knew her mother's tricks, and hurriedly said seriously: "Don't worry, mother, I don't know what kind of heart that Qi has. Naturally, he is on the side of the eldest lady and the eldest lady."
"If they have a errand for you, do not refuse."
"This - okay, I listen to mother!"
The old lady Jiang smiled with satisfaction.
After a while, someone from Songhetang invited them over.
Both mother and daughter are overjoyed.
