Jiang Wu calmly pulled away her hand. Aunt Chen's gaze just now was clearly on the soft jade necklace she was wearing around her neck. She must have been living in Zhuangzi and had never seen anything good. Today she came to greet her.
I couldn't help but look at Yingluo.
But on his face, Jiang Wu still looked at her with a smile, "Aunt Chen is fine."
Jiang Lu stepped forward at this time and said with a smile: "I am older than you, so I should call you sister. Now that my sister is finally back, I am relieved."
Jiang Wu smiled and cast his gaze at her. Jiang Lu looked completely different from the one with red eyes in the restaurant last night. She had a decent smile on her face, and her outfit made her elegant, refined, and innocent.
Jiang Wu smiled and said: "Nothing, I'm back too."
A few people were about to enter the house, but they saw a girl slightly younger than Jiang Wu standing up behind the crowd, with a slightly sharp voice: "Are you the sister who was replaced since childhood?"
Jiang Wu raised his eyes and saw that this little girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her facial features were somewhat similar to those of Aunt Chen. Maybe she hadn't grown up yet and her appearance was not as good as her mother's.
Jiang Wu didn't know her, but she also knew that her words were not kind. She smiled lightly and said: "It's a coincidence that when I came to the house two times before, I didn't know that I had a sister. Now that I have met her today,
, as a sister, it’s time for me to give my sister a gift.”
The girl's eyes lit up, Aunt Chen panicked, and she opened her mouth to stop her: "Xue'er!"
But the concubine named Xue'er had already rushed forward, as if she was waiting for Jiang Wu's gift. Jiang Wu took out a blue hairpin from his hair and handed it to her: "
Your name is Xueer?"
However, Xueer only looked at the hairpin in her hand and replied hastily: "My name is Jiang Xuelan."
Jiang Xuelan was very satisfied when she first got the hairpin. She and her aunt had lived in Zhuangzi for a long time and would not come back for several years. She did not live in the capital, so she had never seen such a thing, but she was also ignorant.
, she looked at the hairpin and it looked very ordinary. It had neither pearls nor emeralds, it was just a hairpin with a slightly nicer color.
Jiang Xuelan had never seen much of the world since she was a child, let alone the little Jiujiu in the inner house. She felt that the hairpin was not good, so she showed it clearly on her face. Jiang Wu raised an eyebrow: "Sister, you don't like this hairpin?"
Jiang Xuelan looked at Jiang Wu, feeling very contemptuous of Jiang Wu. In her opinion, this so-called legitimate daughter had a worse life than she did. She had been living among the poor since she was a child, and even a better Zhu Chai could not survive.
She couldn't afford it, so she had the nerve to give it away, but seeing how well she wore it today, maybe her father bought it for her.
Jiang Xuelan suddenly said: "I don't like this hairpin, I like that one!" She raised her hand and pointed at the crane-shaped hairpin inlaid with white pearls that was inserted diagonally in Jiang Wu's hair.
Jiang Wu was still smiling, and she touched the crane-shaped hairpin - which was naturally impossible to give to her.
This hairpin was originally given to her by Fu Heng. Although Fu Heng may not have taken it seriously, how could she give it away casually?
Besides... Jiang Wu is a very stingy person, and she has no intention of giving away even the blue one.
This move was just to test the temperament of several people in this house. Now it seems that she has thought things too complicated. If nothing else, based on Jiang Xuelan's IQ, it's really not worth losing a hairpin.
Go in.
Jiang Wu sighed and said: "In that case...are you going to return this blue hairpin?"
How shameful it must be for this gift to be returned.
At this time, someone in the crowd of onlookers laughed softly, "I didn't expect that this concubine from Pingxuanhou Mansion didn't even recognize Lai Sichai from Baoyu Tower."
"Is that something from Baoyu Tower? Oh my god, who is this Miss Jiang? Isn't she an orphan? How can she wear such a good head and face?"
"What is a tired silk hairpin?"
"Oh, you are stupid. This hairpin looks ordinary on the surface, but in fact it is made by craftsmen using gold threads one by one. It is very rare, just because there is nothing on this hairpin.
Exaggerated patterns, such a good thing, that concubine actually looks down on it..."
Not everyone in the crowd of onlookers was ignorant. When Jiang Wu gave the hairpin to Jiang Xuelan, he had already anticipated what would happen next.
Just a little test.
The crowd's voice was not quiet, and soon several people in the Jiang Mansion knew the whole story. When Jiang Xuelan heard that the hairpin was actually very expensive, she immediately held it tightly in her hand and actually refused to return it.
How could Jiang Qingshan let her lose such a big face in public, and shouted angrily, "What does it look like!"
Jiang Xuelan should be very afraid of him. She was frightened by him and quickly handed the hairpin to Jiang Wu. The smile on Jiang Wu's face did not change. She took the hairpin, put it back on her head, and bowed again.
: "Father, it's better not to stand outside and go inside quickly."
Jiang Qingshan naturally wanted it, and the group entered the house.
There is no mistress in this mansion. Aunt Chen seemed to be very considerate. She took Jiang Wu's hand and said, "The vacated yard has been tidied up. Or do you want to go into the hall for a sip of tea?"
Jiang Wu asked: "I wonder which yard you are cleaning?"
Aunt Chen said: "This is Fuqu Pavilion, the location is excellent."
Jiang Wu had never been to Fuqu Pavilion, but she was too lazy to worry about it. As long as she didn't send her to a corner, she said, "I'm tired from traveling all the way. Let's go back and rest first."
Aunt Chen said hello and called a few maids to take her to Fuqu Pavilion.
According to what was said before, Jiang Qingshan did indeed keep his promise. The maids and women in the courtyard were assigned according to the servants served by Jiang Lu. The specifications were four first-class maids, six second-class maids, and the remaining twelve third-class maids and fourth-class maids.
A sweeping lady.
Jiang Wu sat on the Taishi chair and looked at the four maids in front of him, "What are your names?"
The four girls looked at each other, knelt down and said, "In reply to my message, Miss, I will give you my ink painting."
"Slave lotus fragrance."
"My slave knows the book."
"Slave Yilan."
After Jiang Wu matched the names and faces of the people, he sent them all out and sat alone by the carved window lattice in a daze.
In this way, she became the daughter of the Hou family.
I don’t know what will happen in the future. Will Mr. Fu miss her? Alas, Mr. Fu will definitely be sad without such a capable person like her, just like I am sad now. I must find an opportunity to go back to Beijing.
The Zhenfu Division is the one. If you chat with Jiang Lu and Jiang Xuelan in the inner house every day, I'm afraid you will age ten years.
She was lying on the bed and just about to go to sleep when the new maid Mo Hua knocked on the door and said: "Miss, my aunt invites you to have dinner in the front hall."
