Chapter 59: Dilemma
Jiang Juan felt that Qi Moyuan's yard was being demolished too quickly, and when she walked to the study, she felt that the yard was demolished very well.
After all, the study is close to the main house, and the movement is too loud, so it is inevitable that it will be heard by the maids.
There is a demolition of the yard and a sound to cover it, and the gods don't know it.
It will take two or three months for this yard to be rebuilt, and she can use Bai Jingxuan as an excuse to go out of the house every three or five days to hang out.
The donkey skin hasn't been washed yet, but things are in a mess and have to be cleaned up.
Jiang Wan was very busy.
Jin Er's standing aside didn't help much.
Of course, Jin Er was not idle, after all, he didn't sleep all night, and he was busy napping.
I fell asleep while standing, and when I shook my body, I woke up again.
was busy when there was another knock on the door outside, "The princess, the lady of the Ministry of Rites and the second wife of the Ministry of Officials are here." ”
Jiang Juan was a little confused, and looked at Qi Moyuan, "Why did she come to me?" ”
Qi Moyuan supported his forehead.
Why are people looking for her, can he know?
Can't even guess.
Seeing Qi Moyuan's expression, Jiang Juan knew that she had asked the wrong person, and she looked at Jin'er.
Jin Er looked at Jiang Wan and said, "The slave doesn't know either." ”
After speaking, Jin Er remembered something, and her eyes widened, "One of the two girls who helped the girl paint in the Golden Jade Pavilion yesterday was from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites. ”
The other one, Jin Er guessed that it should be from the Ministry of Servants' Mansion, but she really didn't have an impression, she didn't seem to have seen it before.
Jin Er said this, and Jiang Juan guessed what they were here for.
Putting down the work at hand, Jiang Juan stepped out.
She walked to the front of the main hall, and the maid had already led the lady of the Ministry of Rites and the second lady of the Ministry of Officials Langfu.
Seeing them coming, Jiang Juan went down the steps to greet them.
The two ladies were very kind-hearted, and Jiang Wan pretended not to know and invited them into the house to talk.
Jin Er stood beside Jiang Juan, and a maid served tea to the two of them.
Jiang Juan looked at this, looked at that, and said, "What is the matter with the two ladies coming to me?" ”
The second lady of the Ministry of Officials looked at Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and asked her to speak.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites looked at Jiang Juan and said ashamedly, "The little girl is not sensible, she helps the princess to paint a painting, how can she receive a reward of one thousand taels from the princess?" ”
As she spoke, she put a thousand taels of silver tickets on the small table.
The second lady of the Ministry of Officials didn't say anything, but the silver ticket was no slower than that of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials.
A thousand taels of a painting is worth a lot of money.
But there is no shortage of this thousand taels in the Ministry of Officials' Mansion, and there is no shortage of the Ministry of Rites' Shangshu Mansion.
This silver ticket is hot in your hand.
Who knows if the princesses of Jing'an will blame them for being uninteresting?
Who knows what the princess of Jing'an will do with these two paintings?
Who knows if the eldest girl of the Protector's Mansion will be angry because they helped the princess of King Jing'an?
Send the silver ticket back, as if nothing had happened, and save more than a thousand taels.
Jiang Juan guessed that they were also here to repay the silver ticket, and said with a smile, "You gave me the silver ticket, but it was difficult for me." ”
"Why did the princess say that?" Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was puzzled.
Jiang Juan looked at her and said, "You return the silver ticket to me, and I should return the ink treasure of the two girls, but I still have a useful ink treasure, and I can't pay it back." ”
It turned out to be this, the second wife of the Ministry of Servants' Mansion mentioned that her heart fell back in her throat, and said with a smile, "It's just a graffiti work, the princess likes it, although she keeps it." ”
"Then what's going on," Jiang Wan shook his head.
"I was very satisfied with the paintings of the two girls that day when so many people watched, and they deserved the reward."
The second lady of the Ministry of Officials looked at Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and didn't know what to say.
The princess of Jing'an was able to buy 20,000 taels of headdress in the Golden Jade Pavilion in one go, but she really didn't take this 2,000 taels in her eyes.
They all came, but she still insisted on refusing to accept them.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites wanted to speak and stopped, and finally looked at the second wife of the Ministry of Officials' Mansion and said, "It's better for you to tell the truth." ”
Jiang Juan looked at the second wife of the Ministry of Servants, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
The second wife of the Ministry of Servants said stiffly, "It is my niece who helped the princess to paint, and she will leave for ...... in the next two days." ”
There are some words that she really can't say, but I hope that the princess of Jing'an can understand the off-string sound in her words.
Jiang Wan frowned, then let go again, "I know." ”
The second lady of the Ministry of Servants' Mansion looked up at Jiang Xuan, a little doubtful that she really understood.
Whether she understands it or not, she will be relieved that this hot silver ticket can be returned to its original owner.
They had nothing to talk about with Jiang Juan, Jiang Juan agreed to take back the silver ticket, so they didn't bother Jiang Juan and got up to say goodbye.
It was rare for the two ladies to come to the house, and after seeing Jiang Juan, they had to go to the old lady to say goodbye, but Jiang Juan only sent them to the gate of the courtyard and asked the maid to send them there.
Jiang Juan returned to the study, and when he pushed the door, he instructed Jin Er, "Let people send two posts to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites and the Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, and say that I will come to the door in five days to thank you, and also invite the two girls to come to Jing'an Wangfu as guests when they are free." ”
"Huh?" Kim froze.
"Isn't the cousin of the Ministry of Servants' Mansion going back?"
Jiang Juan sighed lightly, "They helped me, I'm afraid they have suffered a lot." ”
Even if the second wife of the Ministry of Servant Lang's Mansion endured it with all her might, Jiang Juan still saw a look of reluctance on her face, obviously it was not easy for the cousin to come here, and she was reluctant to go back like this.
It's just that she can't let her cousin go back, she's just the second wife of the Ministry of Servants, she can't be the master of the Ministry of Officials, no one will let her risk that her niece will bring disaster to the Ministry of Officials' Mansion to let her continue to stay, so she can only send her away.
Jiang Wan was tired, she just wanted to make two friends, why was it so difficult.
She is pampered and willful, and she is a sworn enemy with the eldest girl of the Protector's Mansion, and the eldest girl of the Protector's Mansion has many close friends, and she has ...... It's just that she doesn't like it.
In the Golden Jade Pavilion, Jiang Juan begged for a painting with 1,000 taels of silver, just to see if anyone dared to openly face her in front of the eldest girl of the Protector's Mansion.
Jiang Juan still remembers the situation clearly.
No one stood up for a long time, and the eldest girl of the Protector's Mansion stood aside proudly to see how embarrassed she was.
In this case, the two of them stepped forward.
In her selfish heart, although Jiang Juan didn't know who they were, she already regarded them as friends.
Doing her a favor, even if she is punished or can't stay, how can she turn a blind eye?
She sent the post, and the Ministry of Servants should not dare to take it seriously, and besides, she not only wanted to come to the door to thank them, but also invited them to come to Jing'an Mansion as guests.
Even if people don't look down on her and think that she can't have deep friendships, but there are still girls in Jing'an Palace, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion may not take this invitation seriously, but the Ministry of Officials and the Lang Mansion will definitely leave a cousin girl for being a guest in Jing'an Palace.
Jiang Juan continued to be busy with her own business, Jin Er stepped out to spread the word, and just after taking two steps, the little maid ran over and said, "Sister Jin Er, Steward Zhao sent someone to pass the word, saying that it was the shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion who came to receive the 20,000 taels of silver that the princess bought jewelry yesterday." ”
