After all, she is a young woman who has been widowed for many years...
Jia Lian stood there and reflected on himself for a moment, wondering what he did not do well enough just now to let Li Wan run away.
I blamed myself for a moment, wondering if I should put on my clothes before going back after practicing bow shooting and kicking, so as not to make Li Wan feel uncomfortable like today...
After thinking about it, I let it go. I was sweating and putting on clothes without taking a shower. It made me feel uncomfortable all over. In comparison, it was better to make others feel uncomfortable.
After returning home and taking a shower, Qingwen suddenly realized that she was extraordinarily attentive. Not only did she gently rub his shoulders and back with her hands and feet, but she also flirted with him intentionally or unintentionally while leaning down.
Jia Lian knew that she must have something to ask him for, but he pretended not to know and even asked her to take off her clothes and come in to serve him.
Qingwen was not too coy, anyway, it was almost a routine. Every time the second master took a serious bath, for the convenience of serving him, he would ask one of them to go in and serve him, either her or Xiangling.
So he turned behind Jia Lian and took off his outer clothes, leaving only a small red silk bellyband and a tight-fitting trousers of the same material. He walked to the big bathtub, stood up shyly on tiptoes, and stepped into it.
.
Because her pair of slender, snow-white legs were so dazzling, she couldn't help but attract Jia Lian's eyes. Qingwen looked shy on her face, but she was very happy in her heart.
She knew that her body was so beautiful, every part of it was beautiful. Even in the eyes of others, even in the eyes of others, compared with her, Xiangling, who was also very beautiful, no part of her body could definitely be better than hers.
Although the second master often said that they were equal in order to take care of Xiangling's feelings, she could feel from many of the second master's usual behaviors that she was more attractive to him than Xiangling!
That's why she can be so proud. Anyone who dares to offend her or make a mistake among the maids inside and outside the courtyard will scold her as much as they want. If it's a trusted maid in another house...
That's not true. She makes friends with those who are close to her status as soon as she can.
What is this called? It’s typical of looking at others’ choices! I can’t help it. After all, I haven’t read a book. I have struggled step by step since I was a child and got to where I am today. It is inevitable that I will have some bad temper.
Jia Lian watched Qingwen's behavior throughout the whole process and felt a little itchy in his heart.
Naturally beautiful, with ice-cold muscles and jade bones, this is a beauty like Qingwen. Many people like to appreciate the best things slowly. Perhaps, this is the real reason why he has been reluctant to eat Qingwen.
In this way, what you enjoy every time is the purest white and clean Qingwen, which is also a kind of pleasure that benefits the soul.
Anyway, he has never lacked pure physical enjoyment, and it can even be said that he can have as much as he wants. But Qingwen, who looks like Daiyu, is unique.
Therefore, before Qingwen could do anything else, he immediately took her into his arms, and the closeness of her skin mixed with water splashes was already a wonderful feeling.
For Qingwen, every time she got close to Jia Lian, it was naturally comfortable. She curled up in Jia Lian's arms docilely like a cat. Being tickled by Jia Lian's touch, she twisted uncomfortably.
Perhaps to divert attention, she took the opportunity to reveal her purpose.
"Second Master, can you take me with you on this trip? I haven't been back for many, many years since I left Jiangnan when I was a child. I really want to go back and have a look."
"cannot."
Hearing Jia Lian's decisive refusal, Qingwen suddenly pursed her little cherry lips! The second master was so unscrupulous, holding her frivolously while still being so heartless and meaningless!
"Why not? Don't use it as a pretext that you can't bring a maid with you because you have serious business to do. I already know it. You want to take Xiang Ling down to Jiangnan, saying that you are looking for her mother!"
As she said this, Qingwen felt a little aggrieved. Usually Jia Lian bullied her, but she felt that Jia Lian liked her more.
But this time she was dissatisfied with such obvious favoritism.
Jia Lian lowered his head and took a look. After being soaked by the water vapor, Qingwen's face became more rosy and translucent, and she was so delicate!
But Jia Lian laughed, despite the unhappy look on his face.
"You said it yourself, Xiangling went with her to help her find her mother. But you just wanted to go to Jiangnan to play, can you compare?
Besides, it’s not that I want to take Xiangling down to the south of the Yangtze River. Even a serving maid wouldn’t take her with me on my trip to the south.
The reason why Xiang Ling can go south is because Sister Lin is willing to take her, so if you have the ability to ask Sister Lin to take you, I have no objection."
"Young Master, don't think I don't know. You must have asked Miss Lin to bring Xiangling with you! You still want to lie to me. Second Master's partiality is partiality, and he still won't admit it!"
Qingwen was so smart, knowing that with Xiangling's dull head, it was impossible for her to think of letting Daiyu take her down to Jiangnan.
It must have been arranged by Jia Lian.
Seeing that he couldn't deceive Qingwen, Jia Lian touched her little face and consoled her seriously: "Okay, don't be angry. I really don't do this because of partiality, but for your consideration.
It's really inconvenient for me to take you with me at first, otherwise I wouldn't have let Xiang Ling follow Sister Lin.
As for why I don't take you with me... I have a lot of things to do on this trip south, and I might have to ride back and forth to several state capitals, so it will definitely be inconvenient to take you with me... Don't say anything yet."
Qingwen was about to say that she could also ride a horse, but was interrupted by Jia Lian, so she could only raise her mouth and continue to listen to Jia Lian's explanation.
"You, a cute little beauty, follow me all over the world. Even if you suffer hardships, wouldn't I feel bad if you bump into me? Even if I don't feel bad, I'm still worried that you will affect my work.
Another point is that even if Xiangling follows me south, she has little chance of following me. You and Xiangling have two different personalities. Xiangling is okay, she likes to be quiet and can stay in the house all day without going anywhere.
Go ahead and ask yourself, can you possibly do it?"
"I……"
Qingwen was a little speechless. She just wanted to go out and play. She didn't want to stay in the house all day long. What was the difference between that and being at home?
So he turned his head and glanced at Xiang Ling, who had just come in with some clothes, but said nothing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sister Lin's father has just passed away, and she definitely needs to be quiet. So, even if you are asked to follow her, if you can't stay idle, wouldn't it just be annoying Sister Lin?
?When the time comes, you will be living under someone else’s roof, you will be wronged, and no one will support you. Why bother to come?
It's better to stay at home, you can continue to dominate, go wherever you want to play, play cards and gamble for money, how comfortable is that? Why go through all the hard work just to get bored?"
Jia Lian really didn't want to take Qingwen south. Qingwen was too active, and he wasn't going on a trip. It would be inconvenient to take her with him.
Qingwen thought about it seriously and asked: "The second master really asked Xiangling to follow Miss Lin all the time. Didn't he intend for her to serve him after going to Jiangnan?"
"of course not."
"Oh well……"
Apart from Jia Lian, Qingwen was indeed not willing to serve anyone else. She did not want to please even the fairy-like Lin Daiyu.
Of course, this is under the premise that she doesn't know yet that Daiyu will become the second-in-command of the family in the future.
Seeing that Qingwen was not messing around, Jia Lian was also a little happy. He kissed her face and said with a smile: "Don't you always want to control the maid? I just saw that the little girl named Tan Yun seems to be very attached to you. From now on,
Just let her follow you. You don't have to do some trivial things yourself, just let her do it for you."
Qingwen's eyes suddenly lit up, "So, she will be my servant girl from now on, and she won't have to worry about other things in the courtyard?"
"Well, that's right."
Jia Lian has always refused to give Qingwen her status. It is really just because her status as a maid makes it easier for her to go wild.
In fact, Qingwen had already been a legitimate concubine in his house two or three years ago, and she was given by Mother Jia herself.
Now, giving her a little maid to order is not an exception.
Qingwen's face suddenly showed a look of joy. Although she had never asked for it, she still cared about it. Because she had never regarded herself as a maid, but as Jia Lian's concubine. So she could accept it as a matter of course.
Jia Lian asked her to do what a concubine should do.
"Since I already have a maid to serve, should I mention her monthly salary? It doesn't look good to get another maid's monthly salary, right, Master~"
It's rare for Qingwen to be coquettish and coquettish.
Of course she didn't care about a little monthly money. After following Jia Lian for several years, Jia Lian rewarded her with a lot of money and things, openly and secretly. She had no place to spend money, and it was not easy to lose when playing cards, so she accumulated some wealth.
However, monthly money is related to a person's status in the house.
She felt that Jia Lian's willingness to grant her the title of maid meant that her efforts over the years had been recognized by Jia Lian and her status as aunt was recognized.
Now that you have become a master, you can no longer take the monthly salary of a first-class maid.
This is the rule.
Jia Lian was speechless. He didn't realize that Qingwen was capable of hitting snakes with sticks.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a monthly salary increase. From now on, I'll give you one tael of silver from my account every month, so you can get your aunt's monthly salary, okay? Really, it makes it seem like I treat you badly.
Similar."
When Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng took over the title, their monthly salary was raised from five taels of silver to twenty taels, which is the same level as Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
It could have been raised to only twelve taels. This was also the old practice of the Jia family. Young masters with official positions and their corresponding young mistresses should receive monthly payments. However, Mrs. Wang received twenty taels for a fourth-grade imperial edict, and Wang Xifeng received twenty taels for a second-grade imperial edict (before Jia Lian was granted the title of marquis).
How could the imperial edict be reduced by half?
So, I brought them all up at once.
Of course, neither Jia Lian nor the current Wang Xifeng paid much attention to the little monthly money they received from officials.
"Hehe, Second Master, you are so kind!"
Qingwen was a little embarrassed by what Jia Lian said, and got the long-awaited benefit, so she took Jia Lian's arm and shook it to please her.
Although Qingwen is suspected of being flat-chested, she still feels it when the little pigeon pecks her arm, right?
So Jia Lian couldn't help looking down at her and asked with a smile: "Since I'm so nice, I just talk about it and don't have any specific expressions?"
"What do you want the second master to say..."
Qingwen didn't understand what Jia Lian meant, so she looked back at Xiang Ling who was squeezing Jia Lian's shoulders, then she endured her shame, stretched her neck, and kissed Jia Lian quickly.
"not enough……"
"Forget it if it's not enough. Have you washed it, Master? I'm going out after washing it."
Qingwen wanted to run away, but Jia Lian certainly wouldn't let her run away after getting an advantage. He would teach her a lesson and would not stop until she agreed to serve her sentence honestly.
