After Jiang Shiying finished speaking, the empty front hall fell into silence for a moment.

After a long while, Jiang Pengyuan said: "Father, please consider this matter carefully."

He did not directly agree, nor did he reject it outright.

At this time, he remembered the question that had not been answered before: "You saved Prince Jing, what happened?"

Jiang Shiying had already thought of her words: "I go to the martial arts gym every day to practice martial arts, and my father knows about it."

Jiang Pengyuan nodded.

Jiang Shiying continued: "About ten days ago, I rescued a little beggar in the back alley of the martial arts school. The little beggar said that he was Prince Jing. He got separated from the guards when he went out to play in the palace. Unexpectedly, he met When we got to the kidnapper, we managed to escape with great difficulty."

Having said this, she took another sip of tea to moisten her throat: "I wasn't sure of his identity at the time, but there were still people chasing him and trying to catch him back. I couldn't just leave it alone, so I knocked down those few Personally, I sent him to Enqinghou Mansion."

The Enqinghou Mansion is the maternal home of the Queen Mother, and Prince Jing is the youngest son of the Queen Mother. Naturally, the people in the Enqinghou Mansion know Prince Jing.

"I didn't expect that he was really Prince Jing. You are lucky." Jiang Pengyuan said.

Jiang Shiying smiled, but she was thinking in her heart that she was lucky because she had the memory of her previous life and did it deliberately.

In his previous life, two months before the draft, at the beginning of this month, the young Prince Jing disappeared while playing in the palace.

Later, the royal family finally found him and found out that when Prince Jing was kidnapped, he was hidden in Courtyard No. 13 in Sanjing Lane.

It was a den of kidnappers. After Prince Jing was rescued, this den was taken over by the government.

Coincidentally, Sanjing Lane happened to be right behind the martial arts school, so it was not surprising at all that Jiang Shiying appeared there.

Jiang Shiying came back after being reborn at the end of February, and then began to pay close attention to Courtyard No. 13 in Sanjing Lane.

Until Prince Jing was abducted and tried to escape, he seized the opportunity and happened to save Prince Jing.

After King Jing returned to Enqinghou Mansion, the kidnapper's den must have been quickly solved by people sent by Enqinghou Mansion. It can be considered that she indirectly did a good thing and helped those abducted children.

More than ten days had passed since she rescued Prince Jing, and the reward order arrived at Jiang Mansion. In the past ten days, His Majesty and the Enqinghou Mansion must have found out her identity and background and why she appeared there, just in time to save Prince Jing.

Everything is reasonable and there are no loopholes, so we have the position of county leader today.

Jiang Shiying thought to herself that starting from today, everything will be different from the previous life.

After chatting with Jiang Pengyuan for a few more words, the housekeeper returned.

"Master, Second Young Lady, those criminal slaves have been sold to Ren Yaozi. The old slave has made the decision without authorization, and asked people to select a group of deft servants from the Zhuangzi as soon as possible for the masters to choose from."

"You did a good job." Jiang Pengyuan nodded in approval.

"Father, my daughter is going back first." Jiang Shiying said goodbye and left.

Jiang Pengyuan watched her gradually walk away, until her figure was blocked by the twisting branches of flowers, and then he told the housekeeper: "Find a matchmaker with a good reputation and not too talkative. Master, I want to hire a good concubine."

"Good concubine?" The steward was surprised.

He had just left for a while, why did the master want to hire a good concubine into the house?

This is probably the second young lady's method. I don't know how the second young lady persuaded the master.

Jiang Pengyuan nodded: "Remember to tell the matchmaker that if you want a clean family background, it is best to have read some books."

He was still thinking about what Jiang Shiying said.

The former dynasty and the harem must complement each other.

There are Concubine Hui and Jiang Shiying in the harem. Both sisters are not simple characters.

The previous dynasty has him now, but the next generation has no successor.

Jing'er is already thirteen, and will be able to get married in two years. Now she still looks like she doesn't know what to do, and she really can't bear to be entrusted with such a big responsibility.

No matter what, after all, he is the legitimate son who has loved him for so many years. All he needs to do is find a good wife for him in two years, and the family will take good care of him for the rest of his life.

"Yes." The butler took the order again and left.

As he walked out, he thought to himself that if he really hired a good concubine and a young master, the situation in this mansion would completely change.

However, he has severely offended his wife today, which is actually a good thing for him.

"and many more."

Just as the housekeeper was about to walk out of the front hall, Jiang Pengyuan stopped him again and ordered: "From now on, the family will call the second young lady the Lord of Jiayi County."

"Yes, the old slave will give the order."

Coming out of the front hall and passing through two hanging flower arches, the housekeeper called a little maid and said: "Go to Fufeng Yuan and ask to see the Lord of Jiayi County and ask him if he has any other instructions."

He said this without any clue, but he knew Jiang Shiying would understand what he meant.

In the flower hall of Fufeng Courtyard, Jiang Shiying was sitting by the window playing with the whip in her hand.

Two pretty maids were waiting on the left and right.

The maid with the rounder face was called Qiu Yu, and her tone was very excited: "Miss, no, it's time to call you the County Lord. The County Lord is so majestic today, let's see who dares to chew your tongue in the future!"

Another long-faced maid named Qiu Shuang, but her expression was a little worried: "Is the county master's behavior today a bit excessive? Will it affect your reputation?"

"How could it be!" Qiu Yu objected: "I think the county lord was too good-natured in the past, and that's why some people spread rumors."

Speaking of this, Qiu Yu couldn't stop: "They all say that the county lord is unruly and hard to get close to. If this is the case, how dare they say such nonsense in the mansion? I'm afraid not all of them have to behave like quails. On the contrary It's the eldest lady. She said she protected our county master when he grew up, but I couldn't see where the protection was. Every time the county chief punished those servants, the eldest lady would help and intercede. For the sake of the eldest lady, in the end it was just Even if she is fined a month or two, the servants still praise her for her kindness and charity, and they don't take our county master seriously even more."

"You don't want your life, that's Concubine Hui, how dare you arrange it." Qiu Shuang pulled her sleeves anxiously.

Qiu Yu curled her lips.

Qiu Shuang looked at her expression, then looked at Jiang Shiying, who had a calm face, and seemed to be a different person from before, and said after considering: "After all, the county lord was raised by the eldest lady in the eldest lady's courtyard, you If people hear this, what good will it do to the county lord?"

"Tsk." Jiang Shiying chuckled and looked at Qiu Shuang. The back of her neck was tense when she saw it, and then she said slowly: "Qiu Shuang is really sensible."

Qiu Shuang couldn't figure out what she meant by this, and was racking her brains on how to deal with it.

On the other side, Qiu Yu's little mouth started to chatter again: "Raised? Don't say this. The county master has a wet nurse and a maid by his side? Does the eldest lady feed the county master, or sew clothes for the county master? Are you talking about raising her? Don’t tell me that the county owner eats her food and drinks hers. The county owner is a serious girl in this mansion and she should set her own example."

Qiu Yu has been hiding these words in her heart for many years. In the past, the county boss always stopped her and always said that the madam and the eldest lady were kind to her.

Qiu Yu couldn't understand where this kindness was, but she could see it now. The county boss seemed to have finally figured it out. She had to explain this to the county boss quickly and never change back.

Qiu Shuang cleared her throat, feeling guilty, but she still had the appearance of a considerate and good maid, and said Xunxun: "Didn't you say that the county master was bullied by the wet nurse before he was three years old? Later, the eldest lady saw him and moved to Fufengyuan Come here, change the people around the county master, and the county master’s life will become easier.”

"Bah." Qiu Yu didn't listen to this: "That can only mean that Madam was not strict in managing the house from the beginning and failed to fulfill her duties as a legitimate mother."

Before Qiu Shuang could speak, Jiang Shiying put the whip in her hand on the table. There was a snap, which made Qiu Shuang want to shiver.

But Jiang Shiying gently pinched Qiu Yu's angry little face and said, "Okay, I see how angry you are, and I know you feel sorry for me. I promise you, we will never be bullied again in the future, okay?" "

"The county leader must keep his word." Qiu Yu said urgently.

Jiang Shiying nodded and looked at Qiu Shuang: "You are very sensible."

This was the second time Jiang Shiying said that she was sensible, but Qiu Shuang felt that the county boss was not really praising her.

Just then, the door was knocked lightly three times.

"My slave, go and see what's going on." Qiu Shuang bowed hastily and walked to the door, feeling relieved.

Opening the door, it was the little girl who was delivering the message in the courtyard, saying: "Sister Qiu Shuang, Sister Bai Zhi in the front yard asked to see the county master, saying that the housekeeper has something to ask her for permission."

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Bai Zhi was brought to the flower hall.

"My servant Bai Zhi is here to pay my respects to the county lord. The housekeeper asked my servant to ask for instructions. Do you have any other instructions?" Bai Zhi said respectfully.

"There is a Montessori School in Wangliu Lane, Nancheng."

Bai Zhi waited for a moment longer, and seeing that she had nothing else to say, she left in confusion and went to the front yard to reply.

Qiu Yu and Qiu Shuang were also confused, wondering what kind of riddle she was trying to solve.

Qiu Shuang wanted to ask but didn't dare.

Qiu Yu asked, and Jiang Shiying stuffed chestnut cake into her mouth. She knew that this meant that she didn't want to say anything, so she stopped worrying.

Qiu Shuang was anxious, and intuitively felt that this must be a very important matter, but she did not dare to test Jiang Shiying now.

In the front yard, the housekeeper heard Bai Zhi's reply, nodded, and ordered people to go and find out what the elementary school was like.
