The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

In the Jiang family, Butler Jiang is very efficient.

In just one or two days, the matter assigned by Jiang Pengyuan was completed.

"The old slave ordered people to inquire carefully and chose the matchmaker Wang. She is a government matchmaker and has been in this business for more than 20 years. She has a good reputation and has facilitated many good matches."

Matchmaker Wang, who was standing nearby, gave Jiang Pengyuan a blessing gift: "I have seen Mr. Jiang before."

Then, without bragging too much, he went directly to the topic: "Steward Jiang has told Cao Min all your requirements. Cao Min has three more suitable candidates..."

At the same time, Fufengyuan.

Jiang Shiying had just returned from the martial arts gym. She had showered and freshened up, changed into homely clothes, and sat in front of the dressing table, flipping through a few pages of paper in her hand.

Behind her, Qiu Shuang was holding a soft cloth and drying her hair bit by bit.

The things Jiang Shiying was looking through were sent by Butler Jiang before he reported to Jiang Pengyuan.

The information written on the paper was exactly the candidates for good concubines that Matchmaker Wang was introducing to Jiang Pengyuan at this time.

On the first page, there is a drawing of a gentle and graceful girl. She is not very stunning, but she is lovable.

This girl's surname is Lin, and her father, Lin Xiucai, opened a elementary school in Wangliu Lane, Nancheng.

She is the eldest daughter in the family, with two younger brothers. The engagement had already been arranged, but due to the delay in keeping the mother's filial piety, the family was unwilling to wait and called off the engagement.

Now Miss Lin is eighteen years old, which is not very old, but a good man of the right family is not so easy to find. For her, becoming a concubine in a wealthy family is also a good place.

The Lin family is not a wealthy family, but their life is pretty good. After all, she is the daughter of a scholar and can be considered a scholar. In addition, after her mother passed away, she took on the responsibility of teaching her younger brothers and taking care of the house, and her character and ability are also first-rate.

This girl Lin was exactly the candidate Jiang Shiying had chosen for her good father.

Butler Jiang is used to doing things, and of the two girls behind him, one is from a merchant family and the other is the only daughter in the family.

Miss Lin's conditions are already good, so a comparison like this makes it even more appropriate.

However, only Jiang Shiying knew that Miss Lin, who seemed gentle and kind, was thoughtful and ruthless.

In the previous life, it was this girl Lin who took the entire Zhang Mansion into her hands within three months of being hired.

Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang were bullied and tortured by her to a terrible state. If Mrs. Zhang's natal family was not easy to mess with, they might have died.

In this life, she should let Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang go and have a showdown with Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang.

Qiu Shuang, who was waiting on the side, didn't know what Jiang Shiying was thinking. While serving her, she looked at the paper in her hand without leaving any trace.

Just now Bai Zhi came from the front yard and handed this thing to the county owner. She tentatively asked what was written on it, thinking that the county magistrate would not tell her, but unexpectedly the magistrate said with a chuckle: "Father wants to hire a good concubine, so let's choose from here."

When she heard this answer, she almost tore the veil in her hand to pieces in shock. The master actually wanted to hire a good concubine!

At this moment, Jiang Shiying noticed Qiu Shuang's secret poking movements, and maliciously adjusted her posture to move the paper in her hand further away from Qiu Shuang.

Qiu Shuang was immersed in her own thoughts and subconsciously followed Jiang Shiying's movements to stretch her neck.

"Qiu Shuang, what are you doing!" A clear female voice sounded. Qiu Shuang was startled. She turned around and saw Qiu Yu walking into the flower hall carrying a teapot.

Jiang Shiying felt like Ming Jing'er in her heart, but she pretended not to know: "What's wrong with Qiu Shuang?"

"Qiu Shuang has been looking at the thing in your hand just now. That neck is so stretched!" Qiu Yu said.

Although she and Qiu Shuang were both Jiang Shiying's maids, they probably had incompatible temperaments and their relationship had always been mediocre. Now that I feel Qiu Shuang's behavior is strange, I naturally won't hide it for her.

Jiang Shiying glanced at Qiu Shuang. This glance made Qiu Shuang's heart flutter.

Just as she was about to explain, she heard Jiang Shiying say: "I'm probably just curious. I'm a little hungry. Qiu Shuang went to the kitchen to get me some snacks and a cup of cheese."

Qiu Shuang took the order and left.

Qiu Yu saw her walking away and said, "County Master, I feel that something is wrong with Qiu Shuang these days."

Jiang Shiying smiled, Qiu Yu's intuition was quite sharp: "She is worried about her real master."

Qiu Yu's eyes widened: "You mean?"

Jiang Shiying nodded.

"No wonder, she always liked to say how good the madam and the eldest lady are to you. She dared to speak for her real master."

Qiu Yu thought before that Qiu Shuang was just as confused as Jiang Shiying before, but she didn't expect that she was pretending to be confused.

Qiu Yu was a little anxious: "Then we can't keep her by our side anymore. What if she hurts you?"

Jiang Shiying narrowed her eyes, wasn't it? Qiu Shuang played an important role in her death in the previous life. But in this life, that may not be the case.

Qiu Shuang, who was supposed to go to the kitchen, was now in the back garden, talking in a low voice with a rough woman.

A moment later, in the small Buddhist hall, Mrs. Jiang heard the words of the eldest maid Suxue, and the prayer beads in her hand fell to the ground: "What did you say?"

Mrs. Jiang's voice was extremely high: "Master wants to hire a good concubine? How dare he?"

Mrs. Jiang stood up and was about to walk out, but was stopped by the gatekeeper at the entrance of the courtyard.

"You dare to stop me?" Mrs. Jiang said angrily.

Ever since she married into Jiang Mansion, she has been in charge of Zhongfu for more than 20 years. She never thought that one day, even a servant would dare to treat her like this.

The mother-in-law did not want to offend Mrs. Jiang, but she did not dare to offend the master and the Lord of Jiayi County. She lowered her head and did not look at Mrs. Jiang's expression and said: "The master has an order, please pray in peace in the Buddhist hall."

Mrs. Jiang was furious: "Aren't you afraid that I will sell your whole family away?"

"I really don't dare to disobey the master's order."

After saying this, the mother-in-law simply ignored her and simply walked outside the courtyard door, closed it, and locked it.

Mrs. Ren Jiang knocked on the door and threatened her, just pretending that she was deaf.

Of course the mother-in-law is afraid of Mrs. Jiang. What if Mrs. Jiang comes out one day and sells her out. But if she dares to release Mrs. Jiang now, the head of Jiayi County may sell her immediately.

After a while, Mrs. Jiang finally realized that she would not be able to get out of this door today.

But she was not really helpless. She whispered: "Suxue, you go to Qingyanghou Mansion and ask my elder brother to make the decision for me. Jiang Pengyuan, this ungrateful thing, if it weren't for our Qingyanghou Mansion, he would also To be able to have a good concubine today? He is trying to trample our Qingyang Marquis Mansion under his feet."

Suxue nodded and said, "Don't worry, madam!"

Then, she knocked on the door in the yard and said loudly: "Open the door quickly. Madam ordered me to go to Xinfang Building to buy some snacks. The master only said to ask Madam to pray for blessings, but he did not say that he would not even send someone to buy snacks. "

This time, the mother-in-law opened the door obediently.

Suxue walked out of the courtyard and went straight to the stables. As the maid beside the madam, she naturally had to use a carriage when she went out to do errands.

After getting on the carriage, Suxue directly ordered: "Go to Qingyang Hou Mansion."

The coachman responded, waited for her to sit down, then whipped out the horse, and the carriage drove away from Jiang Mansion.

Qingyanghou Mansion is Mrs. Jiang's natal family, and the current Qingyanghou Mansion is Mrs. Jiang's eldest brother.

Jiang Mansion and Qingyang Marquis Mansion are not very far away, and it only takes half an hour to get there by carriage.

However, today, Suxue thought it had been more than half an hour, but the carriage had not stopped yet.

She opened the curtain and wanted to ask the driver why he was so slow, but she saw that the streets in front of her were very unfamiliar.

The coachman had already heard his movement, turned around and showed a simple smile: "Miss Suxue, we are here."

As he spoke, he made a sound, tightened the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped.

Suxue clenched her fingers and pretended to be calm: "Where is this place? I said I was going to Qingyang Hou Mansion. I am someone close to Madam. If you send me to Qingyang Hou Mansion now, I will pretend that nothing happened. Pass."

The smile on the coachman's face did not change at all: "My master has asked the girl to stay here for a few days. Of course it is okay for the girl to go to the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, but it will have to be a few days late."

This person was arranged by Jiang Shiying.

She didn't want anything to happen to Jiang Pengyuan's appointment of a good concubine.

If Qingyang Hou got the news too early and intervened, things would inevitably change.

It would be better to wait until the big day, when Marquis Qingyang comes to visit, just in time to drink a glass of his brother-in-law's wedding wine.
