Yu Yongqing's face has been haunting Li Jiangwei's mind, making her unable to sleep for a long time.

Yu Yongqing did not forcefully ask Li Jiangwei to take the position of the East Palace's companion. But she didn't choose to refuse, not only because of Zhen Yongqing's heartfelt words, but also for her sister who was studying at Huanyue Academy.

Three years is too long for some variables. If the Feng family repents and does not let Li Jiangyun continue the exam, then the two sisters will really have no power to resist at all.

can become a companion in the East Palace, and you can also earn a place at home. When I negotiate with my father, I can be much tougher.

Li Jiangwei couldn't help but think of the scene when she met Chu Yongyi in the Huaixing Marquis Mansion.

"Do you want to be your sister's backer?"

If this is not a deliberate, ill-conceived inquiry, then it is a proverb.

After listening to Huai Xinghou's words, Li Jiangwei only felt that the benefits of being a companion were a little more. His sister can be promoted to be an official, and he can also help one or two in the court.

The more she thought about it, the more Li Jiangwei wanted to laugh.

What a temptation to refuse.

However, the risks of this trip should not be underestimated. Yu Yongqing's situation is not optimistic, whether it is the attitude of the court or the attitude of the emperor, it is not good for the imperial concubine. Becoming the companion of the East Palace means that she will also be swept into this whirlpool.

Neither the Bofu nor the Hou Mansion have enough real power to deter people. And a false name cannot be a weapon for walking in the palace.

The only one who can rely on is yourself.

Chu Yongqing's actions were faster than she imagined. However, in the past four days, my father-in-law came to Anyuanbo's Mansion to announce the emperor's edict, and there were many rewards with him.

Among them are not only gold and silver jewelry, but also palace-bound books. Boxes were carried into An Yuanbo's mansion, shocking everyone in the mansion.

Li Jiangwei replied cautiously, and then thanked her again. An Yuanbo's Mansion also appropriately offered auspicious money. Seeing off the messenger, Qian, who was originally waiting quietly on the side, suddenly spoke: "All the rewards of the Holy Lords will be collected in the public middle school. Come on, carry things down. ”

Striding forward, Li Jiangwei stood in front of the box, stopping the servants who wanted to get close to the box.

"Mother, what does this mean?"

Qian raised his hand, and the next person's movements paused.

"The Holy Lord's oracle, Uncle Anyuan's Mansion teaches well. Seal you as an East Palace companion and reward at the same time. These objects, gold and silver, were originally given to An Yuanbo's mansion. I am in charge of the middle feed at home, and of course I am at my disposal. ”

"The Holy One didn't mention that this was an object given to An Yuanbo's Mansion."

"But the saint didn't mention that it was a gift to you, did he?" Qian said righteously: "The saint only mentions the word 'special gift'. ”

The news that the mother and daughter were competing for rewards at the door of the house was not good. Li Yueran was a little annoyed, but the two of them were still facing each other fiercely unconsciously.

Although the envoy did not specifically mention who the reward was handed over, the books and palace decorations and other items in it were obviously prepared for Li Jiangwei. Only Li Jiangwei, who is about to enter the palace, can use palace clothes.

"The messenger has not gone far yet, but should Mother ask the messenger herself?"

"If you want to fight with me, then you will personally bring the messenger."

Li Jiangwei frowned, undeniable. Qian said stiffly: "Even if these things are given to you by the Holy Heaven. But I'm your mother, so could I keep it for you and ask you what you mean? ”

Li Jiangwei bowed her head respectfully and said, "My daughter doesn't dare." ”

"If you don't dare, don't make more trouble."

Seeing that Li Jiangwei didn't respond, Qian sneered and said, "Since the four girls have a lot of ideas, it's better for you to be the family." How is it? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Jiangwei was shocked, but even Li Yueran, Feng and Li Jiangqin who were present were shocked.

"Auntie! Why? ”

Qian ignored Li Jiangqin's question, smiled at Li Jiangwei, and asked again: "Four girls? ”

After sighing secretly, Li Jiangwei bowed to the Qian family and said, "Please also ask my mother to take back this." ”

Qian restrained his smile and looked at the reward box. The men were instructed to go up and lift the boxes up to the storeroom.

"Let's disperse. The four girls still have to pack up, and they will enter the palace after a while. ”

This move is to retreat as advance, and it really hit Li Jiangwei's death hole. She would never dare to take on the housekeeping matter. is a junior, and he overtook his mother and aunt to take charge of the feed, which is not justified. Moreover, she has absolutely no experience with housekeepers.

No one takes care of you, and no one teaches you, and you are directly in charge of a big family, which is too easy to get into trouble. Once something happens, you have to ask the Qian family to come forward to solve it. The good reputation all fell on the Qian family, and she could only get a name that she couldn't help herself.

Li Jiangwei bit her lip tightly, and could only watch the reward leave her.

It was not that she was reluctant to give up the gold and silver treasures, but that she was disgusted with this powerlessness.

Qian's decision made Li Yueran angry, and he didn't attack on the spot because of his face. After the two of them returned to Rongyue Residence, Li Yueran retreated, raised his eyebrows and scolded the Qian family: "Today's actions are too mean!" Even if the envoy did not explicitly say that the reward would be given to Jiang Wei, who was this reward for, could you not understand it? ”

"So what?"

"Aren't you afraid of a bad reputation outside?"

Qian didn't want to quarrel with him, glanced at him indifferently, and said, "That's why I want to keep the face of the master as this wicked person." Do you know how much rice grain can be harvested in the Zhuangzi of Anyuan Bofu this year? How much gold and silver can a shop make? ”

Li Yueran, who has never been in charge, of course can't say it.

"Do you know that there was no rain for a long time a few days ago, and how much less grain grew in the fields than last year?"

Li Yueran's anger turned into a daze.

"Does the lord know that Uncle Anyuan's mansion has made this year's income, and it can't hold up the chewing of the mansion?"

Li Yueran was silent.

"If I don't treat this wicked person, the dignity of this Anyuan Bofu will no longer be able to hold up! If you don't believe me, I can take out all the accounts of previous years and account with you! ”

Qian's strong words made Li Yueran's heart beat a drum.

"How so?" This question after another made Li Yueran nervous, "How can you say that there are no savings for several generations?" ”

"Generations of savings? Is the master talking about those shops? Qian Shi felt a little funny: "Those shops have been losing money since I first took over, and it took several years to make some money. This year's harvest is poor, and the newly earned money has to make up for the losses in Zhuangzi. ”

"How can this be ......"

Qian's eyes were red and swollen and wet, and his bean-sized eyes slid down his cheeks.

"In order to reduce expenses, the number of subordinates assigned to the hospital is as small as possible. According to the rules of the Bofu, a young lady should be paired with two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and then accompany other rough maids and mothers-in-law. Our uncle's house, not to mention the four girls who came out of the concubine, even my in-laws' Qinqin is only a first-class maid with three second-class maids. ”

"How did you get so ruined ......?"

Li Yueran still couldn't believe the facts.

"Is An Yuanbo's Mansion really going to be defeated in my hands? To this point, will I still be defeated at my hands? ”

Li Yueran sat there dejectedly, muttering in his mouth.
