To beg Jia's mother and Jia Zheng and his wife, although you have to show some respect, it is ultimately a matter between the master and the servant. Even if you refuse to agree, you will not suffer any humiliation.

But when I go to Jiao's house to find Qingwen, I'm not sure what will happen!

The light and simple things all belong to their mother and son, but the most difficult thing is left to themselves.

Lai didn't dare to complain in front of her mother-in-law and husband, but after she left the flower hall and separated from her mother-in-law and husband, she couldn't help but secretly complain.

But this was for the sake of her son's future after all. Even if her mother-in-law assigned her the most difficult errand, she could only grit her teeth and face the difficulties.

So he first returned to his "little home" and prepared two generous gifts, one thin and one thick, and specially called his second son Lai Murong, who was lame, to accompany him.

Naturally, he could do well in the Jiao family.

It's not that she doesn't care about her second son, but if she can exchange her younger son's face for her eldest son's future, it's worth every penny.

And when Lai Murong heard his mother say that he was going to the Jiao family to ask for help for his brother's future, his face suddenly turned red, as if he was angry, clenching his fists and staring, but in the end he broke all his teeth, but he didn't dare to say half of it.

The word 'no'.

Not to mention becoming an official in the future, even if he fails to become an official, just based on his status as a judge, Lai Shangrong will definitely make the decision in the future of the Lai family.

My sister-in-law, who comes from a scholarly family, originally didn't like me as a half-disabled person. If I started to cause trouble at this juncture, I'm afraid my brother and sister-in-law would become even more intolerant in the future.

So he had no choice but to break his teeth and swallow it, then followed his mother around the back door of Rong Mansion to Jiao's house.

When the mother and son knocked on the door, they thought it was Jiao Shun who had returned, and jade bracelets came out to greet him. As a result, their happy faces met Lai's wrinkled face, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

If she met Lai's family outside, she might not have any strange emotions, and she might even take the initiative to say hello.

However……

This is the Jiao family!

When outsiders didn’t know the inside story about seizing the title, how could the jade bracelet not know about it?

Her eyes unconsciously fell on Lai Murong's lame leg, and she wondered, could it be that the mother and son were just looking for trouble?

So the smile on his face suddenly turned into a look of caution. He pulled the door panel with one hand, retracted his two feet into the door, and pretended to close the door at any time. He asked with a cold face: "Master... you two come to our house."

, may I ask what you are doing?"

She originally wanted to call her "aunt", but then she thought that if this title fell into the ears of those foxy people, she was afraid that they would snitch on her again, so she quickly swallowed the word "mother".

Although everyone in Lai didn't know her intention of saving others by herself, they could still see her attitude of rejecting others from thousands of miles away, so they hurriedly raised the gift in front of the jade bracelet and said with a smile: "I wonder if Qingwen is at home?"

, we, mother and son, have some things we want to discuss with her."

"Qingwen?"

After hearing what she said, Yu Chuan remembered that Qingwen was from the Lai family, that is, a servant of a servant. He couldn't help but secretly regretted that he had forgotten to confront her about this matter during the previous quarrel.

Immediately, Yu Chuan closed the door slightly again and ordered: "Then you wait outside first. I will ask Qingwen if she wants to see you."

Normally, one should say 'see if she has time', but Yuchuan had always been at odds with Qingwen, so he deliberately used words to provoke her.

She wasn't specifically targeting Qingwen. In fact, except for Xiangling, who never disputed anything, and Wu'er, who had never spoken out, Yuchuan looked at everyone as if they were a thorn in their side. She wished she could drive out all these charming people and let the uncle pamper her alone.

good.

Bang~

Seeing the door slamming shut, Lai Murong, who had endured it all the way, finally couldn't help complaining: "If mother wants to find Qingwen, why don't we just ask someone to call her out? Why do I have to come here and get rejected?!"

"You know..."

Master Lai turned around and glanced at his son, and was about to scold him. Seeing the humiliation on his face, he swallowed the scolding back and explained in a low voice: "That girl Qingwen is not an economical person. If she insists on shirk and refuses, , I’m afraid this news may not even reach Uncle Jiao...Jiao’s ears.”

"Instead of taking this risk, it is better to come directly to the door. When the time comes, Uncle Jiao will know what to say and what to do. We are not just giving it to a blind man."

At first she stumbled a bit when she said the word 'Uncle Jiao', but when she said it again she became much smoother, and most of the entanglement and shame in her heart seemed to have dissipated.

And I always thought that Jiao Shun was just lucky, but now I suddenly felt that his destiny of wealth and wealth were completely different from his own.

But it was said that Lai's true self was PUA. The door was opened to the left and right, and Qingwen walked out of it, frowning and saying, "Why do you want to come to me so coldly?"

After saying that, he raised his chin slightly in the direction of the inner wall of the Grand View Garden and said, "Let's go over there and talk."

Although she was not as wary as Yuchai, she was aware of the grudges between the Lai family and the Jiao family, so she subconsciously wanted to make it clear to them outside, but her attitude could not be considered friendly.

But everyone had already made up their mind, no matter whether Qingwen could be asked to come forward or not, they would make enough 'scenes' in the Jiao family.

So he hurriedly stepped aside and said with a smile: "I have something urgent to do with the girl this time. Can we go in and sit down to talk?"

If it were replaced by a jade bracelet, I would definitely refuse.

If it were replaced by ruby, I would have to find some excuses to deal with it.

If it were Xiangling...

I'm afraid I can't see anything wrong with this at all.

Although Qingwen has a strong temper, she cares about old relationships. Even though she sensed something was wrong, after hesitating for a moment, she still stepped in and said: "In that case, aunt, please go to the west wing with me to talk."

"Why!"

Lai everyone happily agreed, fearing that Qingwen would regret it, so they hurriedly pulled Lai Murong across the threshold.

After entering the door, I couldn't help but stretch my neck and look into the main room.

Seeing this, Qingwen said casually: "Our master is not at home, only my wife is in the house."

Only then did Mr. Lai remember that Jiao Shun had not moved into the main room because his parents were present, so he looked into the east wing instead.

"Uncle is not at home either."

Qingwen added another sentence and led the two of them to the west wing.

After thinking about it, Lai Murong was a foreigner after all, so he specially rolled up the curtain so that he could have a clear view of the outside.

Although this was obviously to avoid suspicion, it also played into everyone's mind. Therefore, instead of being annoyed, he deliberately pulled his son to sit in a bright place.

Seeing Qingwen about to pour tea, she rushed forward to stop her: "I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

After saying that, he poured a cup for Qingwen first.

Seeing this, Qingwen frowned even more and asked straight to the point: "What is the matter with you that auntie is looking for me? Now this makes me very nervous."

Lai and everyone were almost ready to meet each other, so he told the story about the eldest son's failure in seeking an official position because he was born in Rongguo Mansion.

Then he added: "I heard that the engineering school is in need of hiring people now, so..."

After saying that, he placed the generous gift in front of Qingwen and said with a smile: "So I would like to ask the girl to give me a few kind words."

When Qingwen heard this, she didn't know what to say.

What do the Lai family think?

Based on the relationship between the two parties, how could the uncle promote Lai Shangrong to study engineering as an official?!

"Good girl!"

Upon seeing this, everyone in Lai hurriedly said: "We knew we were wrong about what happened at the beginning, and now we are even dreaming of making amends. If Uncle Jiao is willing to show his favor, our family will not hesitate to lose everything!"

After saying that, he called Lai Murong forward, and the mother and son knelt down side by side: "If the uncle is still angry, we can be beaten or punished, and our family will be at the disposal of the uncle!"

"this……"

Qingwen subconsciously took half a step back, then hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone up: "Auntie, get up and talk! It's up to our master to decide what to do. What's going on with you kneeling in front of me?!"

Thanks to everyone's help, he stood up and helped his son who looked aggrieved, and then continued to laugh and said: "Good girl, we really can't figure out the way, so we can only ask you to give me a message.

No matter how incompetent my brother is, he will always be a good official. He can do the things that craftsmen cannot, so he can be regarded as a helper when the time comes, right?"

As he said this, he first made an oath to God that if his son went to study at an engineering school and became an official, he would be obedient to Jiao Shun's orders and would never say anything to him in water or fire.

Then he took Qingwen and talked about how he brought her home to raise her when she was young, and how he later found her cousin Duohun Chong.

Although Qingwen is exquisite and clear, she can't stand these things the most.

In the end, I had to respond vaguely, but there was no guarantee that it would be effective.

Thanks to everyone's gratitude, he took his lame son and left.

After seeing off the mother and son, Qingwen sighed, turned around and saw Si Qi and Yu Chuan side by side... one tall and one low, standing on the corridor of the east chamber, looking at her eagerly.

She glared back at Yu Chuan and asked before Si Qi could speak: "Is it convenient for my aunt right now?"

Si Qi raised his eyebrows: "Whatever you want to say, just go in and report it to your aunt."

After hearing this, Qingwen entered the east chamber without saying a word.

"Bah~"

Jade Chai spat after him, then turned around and said to Si Qi: "Look at her virtues. She dares to take even dirty and smelly things from home. That means she is compassionate. Otherwise..."

"Just say a few words."

Si Qi interrupted her rudely, put his hands on his hips and scolded: "You guys just make trouble on weekdays. If you delay serious business because of being sour and jealous, I will skin you!"

Yuchuan made a big fuss, but he didn't dare to confront Siqi face to face, so he had to go back to the west wing in a depressed mood, gritting his teeth and practicing more, hoping that one day he would be able to win over a man and put these charming men behind him.

They were all trampled underfoot.

but……
