Jiang Wen returned home with a red face, and Aunt Fang was sitting in her boudoir waiting.
Jiang Wen had been out for an hour or two, and Aunt Fang was pacing back and forth, feeling uneasy in her heart.
"Xiao Cui, do you think Shen Yanqing will like Wen'er's snacks?"
Jiang Wen learned her cooking skills from her, but she didn't learn the essence. She heard that Princess Rongning was good at cooking, and was afraid that Shen Yanqing would dislike her daughter's skills.
Xiaocui has never met Jiang Miao. In her eyes, Jiang Wen is the most beautiful little lady in the world. Even if such a little lady is not good at craftsmanship, men will not be too harsh.
So Xiaocui replied to Aunt Fang very confidently, "Master Shen is also a man. He will definitely like the snacks made by my wife."
Yes, he is also a man. What man doesn't like a beautiful little lady, especially when Jiang Wen dressed up so freshly today, Aunt Fang suddenly felt more confident.
"You are right, I am anxious..."
It was already half an hour when Jiang Wen came back. Because the temperature outside was too high, the makeup on her face was all smeared, and the powder was smeared on her face. She had a sullen face, not at all the arrogance she had when she first went out.
Aunt Fang wanted to ask her what the outcome of her trip was like with a smile on her face, but the expression on her face dissuaded her.
"Wen'er, what happened? Didn't your snacks arrive?"
It's impossible, she has been out for more than two hours, there is no way she can't deliver it.
Aunt Fang didn't think that Shen Yanqing would reject Jiang Wen at all. She felt that her daughter was loved by everyone. Even if Shen Yanqing was the chief minister of the dynasty, he would fall under her daughter's skirt.
Jiang Wen felt embarrassed when she thought about what happened in the Yamen. She threw away Aunt Fang's hand and wiped the sweat from her face with a handkerchief.
"Delivered!"
"Why did it look like this when it was delivered? Could it be that Shen Shoufu didn't like it?"
Jiang Wen said nothing. Aunt Fang was impatient and asked the maid who followed her.
"Chunli, tell me!"
The little maid tremblingly told her everything that happened in the Yamen and the Shen family. Jiang Wen was not only disliked by Shen Yanqing, but Jiang Miao was also humiliated. How could she not be angry under the double blow?
Aunt Fang's hands were shaking after hearing this, "It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"
Jiang Wen's hard-earned snacks were specially sent to please them. They didn't appreciate it, but they even humiliated her. This made Aunt Fang angry.
"It's all because of my aunt's fault. She can't give you a decent status. If you were born by my wife, how could they humiliate you like this!"
Aunt Fang looked at her for a while and said words of self-blame. Not only was Jiang Wen not comforted, but she was even more angry.
"I must become Shen Yanqing's woman, aunt. There is no more noble man in Qiongzhou than him. Even if I become his concubine, no one will dare to show us mercy in the future!"
"good!"
Aunt Fang held her daughter in her arms, and where Jiang Wen couldn't see her, a smile of success appeared on her lips.
Although she is Jiang Chuan's favorite concubine, she has always been outshone by the Chen family in terms of status. Aunt Fang has no son, and her future glory and wealth will all rest on her daughter.
She doesn't trust Chen, so she has to plan her daughter's marriage herself.
The arrival of Shen Yanqing brought hope to both mother and daughter.
Rather than being married off by Mrs. Chen to some petty official or a concubine from any family, it would be better to be a concubine for Shen Yanqing.
The mother and daughter calculated well, but they completely ignored Shen Yanqing's thoughts. To buy and sell by force, someone must be willing to accept it.
Shen family.
After Shen Yanqing finished her official duties, she returned to the backyard. Jiang Miao had been cutting mangoes all afternoon. Now her hands were sore and she was asking Qinglian to massage her.
Shen Yanqing came over and took over Qinglian's work. He was very strong, but Jiang Miao's wrist was so slender that she was afraid of breaking it accidentally when she held it in her hand.
Shen Yanqing moved gently, and Jiang Miao snorted in comfort.
"Did the second lady of the Jiang family bring you snacks?"
Jiang Miao said she didn't care, but she was still a little jealous in her heart.
"I didn't eat."
Shen Yanqing didn't even stop moving, and spoke simply and neatly.
Jiang Miao almost laughed out loud.
"No wonder Mrs. Jiang sent it to me again. It turns out it was for you..."
Thinking of Jiang Wen's charming eyes showing to the blind man, Jiang Miao felt a little gloating in her heart.
Shen Yanqing tickled her pretty nose, his eyes filled with helpless doting.
"I'm only used to the snacks you make. I don't like other people's snacks and I don't want to eat them."
"You know what I mean."
Jiang Miao wrinkled her little nose, looking pampered and arrogant. She was so coquettish and charming that the man's eyes deepened, and the movements of his hands changed from pinching to holding.
"Be honest, my hands are so sore."
Jiang Miao slapped her, and Shen Yanqing pursed her lips and continued to pinch her obediently. Qinglian and others saw the love between their husband and wife, and exited with a smile, leaving space for the two of them.
When you go out, don't forget to close the door for them.
"What's going on with the Jiang family?"
Jiang Miao couldn't understand how stupid Jiang Chuan was to push his daughter towards Shen Yanqing.
"It's just a little clever, not someone who can be used."
Shen Yanqing told her about the current situation in Qiongzhou, and Jiang Miao also understood that Jiang Chuan was afraid that his position would be insecure, so he wanted to give his daughter away to get closer to Shen Yanqing.
It's a pity that he made a wrong move.
As long as she is here, Shen Yanqing can't even think about taking a concubine.
"Liang Duo will arrive tomorrow. Shopkeeper Qin will come with him. You don't have to be bored."
Jiang Miao was overjoyed by the news about Shen Yanqing. Not to mention, she was used to being surrounded by relatives and friends in the capital, but when she suddenly came to Qiongzhou, she only looked after the children and tinkered in the kitchen with no one to talk to.
She had never expected that Shopkeeper Qin and Liang Duo would become a real couple. After all, Shopkeeper Qin had been separated from Hou Shixian for many years and had no intention of remarrying. In addition, Yuanyuan had also reached the age where she wanted to see her husband's family. Shopkeeper Qin was absolutely reluctant to leave his daughter. .
But now, he has followed Liang Duo to Qiongzhou.
In the inn, Liang Duo dismounted first and then helped shopkeeper Qin down from the carriage.
"Be careful."
He spoke softly and supported Shopkeeper Qin's waist with his palms, as if he were treating a rare treasure.
"How can I be so careful? I'm not a fragile doll."
"The doctor told me to be more careful in the first three months. I don't know if my son is tired from the bumpy journey."
Shopkeeper Qin found out about Youxi when he walked halfway. Liang Duo was worried about her and wanted her to go back, but it would be who knows how many years before he goes to Qiongzhou and the two of them were newly married. Shopkeeper Qin was not willing to leave with him.
So even though she was pregnant, she still came along.
Liang Duo was cautious and cautious along the way. Although he was not a father for the first time, his previous wife and children had long since starved to death in the famine. Suddenly, he had another child. He was happier than anyone else.
"When we get to Qiongzhou tomorrow, I have to ask Xiao Qiao to check your pulse again. Don't worry about anything."
