Shangshu Mansion, in Xingui Courtyard.

A woman in her thirties, dressed in a moon-white dress, reclined on a soft pillow with a magpie hanging from a branch, flipping through the ledger in her hand.

"Mother, you have to be the master of your daughter!"

Jiang Yuchun ran all the way into the Xingui Courtyard, and rushed to the current Shangshu lady Zhou without waiting for the maid to report.

Zhou's eyebrows and heart jumped, and his fingertips trembled and glanced at Jiang Yuchun.

Jiang Yuchun's appearance is not at all like Zhou's, Zhou's has a pair of round eyes, the bridge of her nose is very high and straight, and the three-dimensional sense of her whole face is erected, and her mouth is not very good-looking, but with such a face, at first glance, there is quite a coquettish and exotic style.

"Mother, you don't know how bold Jiang Yingxue is, her daughter is kind enough to visit her, she actually threw her daughter with a jade pillow, if it weren't for her daughter retreating quickly, the jade pillow would have smashed on her daughter's head raw!" The second half of what Jiang Yuchun said was true.

Zhou was a little surprised when he heard this, and he didn't bother to care about his daughter's rudeness. "You said your big sister hit you with a jade pillow?" Jiang Yingxue's biological mother died of blood collapse when she first gave birth to her, and later Jiang Yingxue's father, Jiang Yuncheng, who is now the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, married Zhou.

That Jiang Yingxue's temperament Zhou has been watching since he was a child, let alone smashing Jiang Yuchun with a jade pillow, even if he says it loudly, he doesn't dare to say it loudly, so Zhou doesn't believe Jiang Yuchun's words at all.

"Okay, if something happens to her now, it will also affect your reputation, so you should settle down." What kind of character is her daughter, can the Zhou family not understand, what to say to visit Jiang Yingxue, it would be good for her to sprinkle salt on Jiang Yingxue's wound.

Seeing that Zhou not only didn't plan to help him get angry, but also blamed her, Jiang Yuchun was so angry that he almost didn't bare out of his eyes.

"Mother, you, you don't believe me!"

Zhou glanced at her and said, "Have you practiced the piano that your mother asked you to practice before?" ”

The Great Xia Kingdom is still martial, but the standard for everyone's ladies is to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

As soon as this was mentioned, Jiang Yuchun was a little wilted, and it could only be said that this girl was not only not beautiful, but even her brain was not so good!

After Jiang Yuchun left, Mama Chang, who had been serving by Zhou's side, stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Zhou. "Madam, the eldest lady is like this...... This will ...... in the future."

Zhou lowered his eyes. "was divorced by King Zhan, and made such a big fuss, this Jiangfu can't tolerate her."

Chang Mama was silent, the Zhou family has not treated Jiang Yingxue harshly over the years, but if you say how good it is, you can't.

In Bianjing, there are only two ends for women who have been dismissed, one is the love of the family, and she is married to a foreign door, otherwise, she combed her hair and went to the temple to be a sister-in-law, and this is it.

What Jiang Yingxue's fate is, it depends on what Jiang Yuncheng thinks.

……

"Like a snow courtyard." Jiang Yingxue stood outside her courtyard gate and looked up at the plaque above.

"Miss, it's cold outside, so you'd better go back to the house quickly." Cai Yue followed behind her and said worriedly.

"Your young lady, I'm not made of tofu, can I still be cold in the autumn weather?" Jiang Yingxue crossed her hands and entered the courtyard.

According to her memory, her Ruxue Courtyard is located in a relatively remote position in the Shangshu Mansion, and it seems that "she" herself asked to come here.

It's been a few days since she's been here, and she's probably figured out the situation in Shangshu Mansion.

In addition to Zhou's step-room, her father Jiang Yuncheng also has three concubines in the courtyard, three through rooms, and two concubines, Jiang Yuchun is Zhou's eldest daughter, and Zhou also gave birth to a son after Jiang Yuchun, two years younger than Jiang Yuchun, Jiang Yuncheng's son-in-law, and the only son so far.

Because she Jiang Yingxue had a soft temperament before, and she was a person who didn't know how to compete, so she lived more like air in the house, and she seemed to be comfortable, but in fact, she didn't have much sense of existence, so those struggles in the back house basically didn't affect her much.

Now there is a very tricky problem, she forgot that Su Muge told her at the beginning, what country did she come to?!

The girl jumped down with herself, so it stands to reason that they should be in the same place, right?

At that time, she didn't believe what Su Muge said at all, so she didn't pay attention to it, but now she can't remember anything, the only thing she remembers is that she said that she has been here for many years, her husband is a prince, and she has children!

Jiang Yingxue felt that the man who could make Su Muge fall in love would definitely not be a straw bag, not a straw bag prince, then he must have a certain amount of power, and he didn't know how many powerful princes there were in this Great Xia Kingdom.

"Miss, Miss, no, no, no, no!" Caihe ran to Jiang Yingxue, and when he stood for a while, he didn't even breathe.

Jiang Yingxue casually took an apple on the table and took a bite of it, and Cai Yue, who was standing on the side, buzzed her lips, and finally didn't speak.

"What's so flustered?"

Caihe leaned over to Jiang Yingxue's side and lowered her voice and said, "The slave overheard the eldest maid beside Madame Ruju just now saying that Madame has already given the eldest lady a good look, and she will immediately let the eldest lady marry her next month." ”

"Click" Jiang Yingxue took another big bite of the apple.

"Who does she want me to marry?"

"The slave maid heard Ruju say that the lady is looking at a county official in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is still a widower, who is in her thirties this year, and the children are as old as the eldest lady."

Hearing this, Jiang Yingxue slapped the apple in her hand on the table.

After a few days of getting along, Cai Yue and Cai He have become accustomed to Jiang Yingxue's rough behavior, but even so, they will still subconsciously tremble when they see it again.

"Caihe, are you telling the truth? Don't you say it nonsense, right? Cai Yue was very afraid that Jiang Yingxue would not be able to think about it, so she rushed directly to Xingui Courtyard to settle accounts with the Zhou family, after all, ...... The current eldest lady is doing this kind of thing!

Caihe shook his head firmly. "At that time, I was hiding aside and eavesdropping, I knew the person who heard Ruju say, and Ruju was a handkerchief, and Ruju would not lie to her."

Jiang Yingxue's fingertips tapped quickly on the table, and those who were familiar with her knew that her brain was running rapidly at this moment.

Sure enough, if she has a stepmother, she will have a stepfather, and she wants a sixteen-year-old girl in the prime of life to marry an old man who died in his thirties and had a car of children!

She Jiang Xue is not a person who is at the mercy of others, although the current environment is very unfavorable for her, but she must find a way to fight her way!

"I remember my grandmother's birthday in a short time?"

In memory, Jiang Yingxue's biological mother Hu is the concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion, and marrying Jiang Yuncheng back then is considered to be a lower marriage.

Jiang Yingxue was raised by the Zhou family intentionally or unintentionally to have a cowardly personality, and she was afraid of going to a crowded place to contact the living.

So when Caiyue and Caihe heard the words "grandmother" at this time, they couldn't come back to their senses.

If you want to talk about Cai Yue and Cai He, it was the old lady of Zhenguo who personally sent it to Jiang Yingxue to serve.

"Yes, if the slave is not mistaken, it will be five days later, but ......" But with Jiang Yingxue's current situation, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get out of the mansion.

Jiang Yingxue glanced at Caiyue and understood what she meant.

"Caihe, you have found a way to bring a message to the Zhenguo Mansion in the past two days, just say that I often dream of my mother after waking up from falling into the water, and I miss my grandmother and them." After Jiang Yingxue finished speaking, she walked to the wardrobe and manually rummaged through it first.

"Miss, what are you looking for? Let the slave help you find it. ”

"Found it!" Jiang Yingxue took out a white cloth bag from the far corner of the wardrobe, opened the cloth bag, and inside were several purses.

"I'm in Shangshufu every month for five or two months of silver, nothing to get my hands on, so I can only send these hand-embroidered purses to my grandmother, but because of the rumors outside, I'm afraid that my grandmother will feel sad when she sees me thinking of my mother, these purses are embroidered, and I don't dare to let people send them." Jiang Yingxue said, pushing the purse to Caihe.

"Caihe, you tell your grandmother obediently, and then give these purses to her, just say that this is my niece's birthday gift to her, let my grandmother accept it, and if you want to send it in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Jiang Yingxue said this, the eyes of the two maids were red, they had been serving by the eldest lady's side all these years, and they knew that the eldest lady was really bitter.

"Don't worry, the slave will do everything possible to send things to the Zhenguo Mansion."

Jiang Yingxue glanced at the two maids with a touched look on her face, and touched the bridge of her nose with some embarrassment, it seems that she is still quite good at sensational creation.

On the day before the birthday of the old lady of Zhenguo, the Zhou family sent someone to pass the word, asking her to prepare tomorrow and go to the Zhenguo Mansion to congratulate the old lady of Zhenguo on her birthday.

On the day of the Duchess Zhenguo's birthday, Jiang Yingxue was picked early in the morning, and the two maids were dug out of bed.

Although the Zhou family didn't care about Jiang Yingxue, he was not too harsh in terms of usage.

"Miss, how about wearing this aqua blue dress today?"

Jiang Yingxue yawned and glanced at it casually. "Just wear it."

Cai Yue happily helped Jiang Yingxue to put it on.

Jiang Yingxue's skin is very white, so white that it is almost transparent, and it is not too much to say that it can be broken by blowing.

Because of her perennial vegetarian diet, her body is not only thin, but also a little hairy, no, good!

Jiang Yingxue looked down at Yima Pingchuan's chest, and almost couldn't resist the urge to roll her eyes, while she was still young, she had to make up for it!

"Lady, are you ready? The lord and lady were already waiting outside the door. ”

Caihe pinned a lustrous mutton fat hosta into his hair.

"It's done, let's go."

When Jiang Yingxue walked outside the door, Zhou and Jiang Yuncheng were already waiting in the carriage.

Jiang Yingxue walked directly to the last carriage and sat down, and after a while, the carriage swayed.

The carriage was walking on the street, Jiang Yingxue couldn't wait to lift the curtain to see the scene outside, this was the first time she left Shangshu Mansion after coming here, and she was still a little excited in her heart.

When Jiang Yingxue didn't know how many times she opened the curtain, Caihe was so helpless that she was about to cry.

"Miss......"

Jiang Yingxue's fingertips loosened and lowered the car curtain. "Okay, okay, I just don't look at it."

The carriage came to a halt after about two quarters of an hour.

Cai He and Cai Yue jumped out of the carriage first.

"Miss, it's time to go to the Zhenguo Mansion!"

Jiang Yingxue got up and got out of the car......
