Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

In the flower room of Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Jiang was pruning the flower branches with a pair of small and exquisite scissors.

At this moment, a maid who looked to be in her twenties and had a calm face walked in from outside.

"Madam, Baishun is back."

Mrs. Jiang put down the small scissors in her hand, wiped her hands with a brocade handkerchief, and led the maid out of the flower room.

In a warm pavilion near the flower room, Mrs. Jiang sat at the top, took a sip of the tea that the maid had just brought, and then looked at Baishun who was standing outside and asked, "How is the situation?"

"In reply to Madam, Mr. Cheng was fined three times and three months' salary by King Rui. He should have arrived home by now."

"I was fined a board and a salary." Mrs. Jiang smiled, "That means Master Cheng still retains his official status."

Mrs. Jiang flicked the brocade handkerchief in her hand and asked again: "How is the current situation in Suilou Building?"

"Back to Madam, Mr. Cheng's father, second uncle, sister-in-law, uncle, cousin, and the niece of Commander Mao have already left the city and are on their way back to Pingnan Village.

Originally, many of the people who worked for Mr. Cheng and his family wanted to go back to the village to visit Mr. Cheng, but Mr. Cheng's cousin didn't know what he said to them and persuaded them.

The store is under the full management of Shopkeeper Zheng for the time being, so there should be no trouble. Moreover, before I came back, I noticed that there were many more female guests among the guests going to the store. "

Mrs. Jiang nodded happily, "I understand, Madam. You can go down."

"I'll take my leave, little one."

"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Jiang stood up, with a serious expression and sharp eyes, "Let the word go out, anyone who dares to do something evil downstairs will be at odds with my Jiang family!"

Baishun followed the order and left the Nuan Pavilion. Mrs. Jiang's maid observed Mrs. Jiang's face and said tentatively: "Madam is so protective of Suilou, but she has taken a fancy to Mr. Cheng? Madam, the young master has been imprisoned by you for some time. , why don’t you let the young master out? It just so happens that the young master likes Mr. Cheng and has been shouting that he wants you and the master to go to the Cheng family to propose marriage. "

"Proposing marriage?" Mrs. Jiang snorted disdainfully, "Is he worthy?"

"Let me, Madam, keep an eye on the young master. Mr. Cheng is someone who wants to do big things. He must not be allowed to cause trouble!"

The eldest maid choked and said, "Madam, our young master is very, very good. Didn't you like it before?"

"If you are not good at writing, you will not be good at martial arts! He just followed me with that face, and he looks pretty good! I really want him to marry Mr. Cheng back, but can Mr. Cheng like him? If Mr. Cheng can, After falling in love with him, I am willing to use half of the Jiang family's wealth as a betrothal gift!"

The more Mrs. Jiang talked, the angrier she became. She raised her feet and walked out aggressively, "Go and see what that little brat is doing?!"

The eldest maid followed Mrs. Jiang with a grimace, thinking: "Why hasn't the master come back yet? Madam and the old lady have been quarreling about the young master every day. When the master is away, no one dares to persuade him, and no one can persuade him!"

Cheng Wan naturally didn't know these things in Jiang's house. At this time, she was holding Gu Yu and sitting by the kang, telling Mrs. Lin, Wang and others about today's incident, and under her "cutting corners" , it’s almost finished.

"..., King Rui fined me three months' salary, and also punished me with three spankings. However, it may be because my flattery was more to King Rui's liking, so King Rui didn't really punish me. Board, my injured look is all fake. Next, I have to stay at home for a few days to 'recuperate', and then go on duty after the new year."

As she said that, Cheng Wan looked at Mrs. Wang, whose eyes were red, and said, "Mom, the business in the store will have to wait. I can't see outsiders these days, otherwise it will be easy for my secret to be exposed."

Seeing Cheng Wan's smiling face, Mrs. Wang's nose became even more sour. She couldn't help crying and laughing, "How long has it been and you are still thinking about the store? Wan, I don't care about that, I just want it." You guys are all fine, don't let anything happen."

Cheng Wan saw Mrs. Wang crying and quickly comforted Mrs. Wang, "Mom, nothing happened to me, I just lost a little money, and now I feel that Prince Rui probably didn't intend to really let me suffer from the beginning. Think about it, how could Prince Rui change his mind just because I flattered you a few times, and help me hide the truth."

"Yes, sister-in-law, what A Wan said makes sense, please stop crying."

Xiao Lin's original intention was to comfort Wang, but unexpectedly, Wang cried louder and louder.

"Ah Wan, mother only knows that you have become an official, your ancestors are honored, and your family members are all very respectable outside, but mother doesn't know that you, a female official, can do such... such hard work!

There are so many of them, so many people are here to bully... bully you, and you are alone. How are you going to fight them in the future? !

Mother, mother doesn’t know how to help you. Wan, how can mother help you? "

The other people in the room were extremely quiet for a moment, with only Wang's cries of anger and self-blame left.

Cheng Wan's eyes filled with warmth. She put Gu Yu aside and reached out to hold Wang's fist-shaped hand.

"Mom, I like to be an official, I like to honor my ancestors, and I like to make you guys look good. Mom, I have just started walking on this road, so it will naturally be harder, and I will get better and better in the future. Mom, I am not alone, you guys You will always stay with me, right?"

Wang cried and nodded.

Cheng Wan smiled and continued: "Mom, I have colleagues with whom I have a good relationship. Mr. Gu, Governor Mao, Mr. Sima, Mr. Sihu, and even Prince Mu. I have a good relationship with them. Rui Wang seems to like me very much. What’s more, from now on, Nian Nian’s father will be my direct superior, and he will definitely protect me.”

"Really...really?"

Cheng Wan nodded heavily, "Really! So I'm really not alone, mother. I will be a high official in the future, earn a fortune for you, and make many, many people envy you!"

Wang wanted to say that she didn't want a royal life, nor did she want to be envied by many people, she just wanted Cheng Wan to be safe and smooth, but when she looked into Cheng Wan's eyes that were shining with sincerity and fearlessness, the words suddenly came to her lips. It became: “Okay!”

Cheng Wan arched her eyebrows and smiled brightly. She buried her head in Wang's arms and rubbed her affectionately.

Wang was amused by Cheng Wan's actions and patted Cheng Wan on the back.

The somewhat dull atmosphere in the room relaxed, and Mrs. Lin and others had smiles on their faces again.

Mrs. Lin wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Tell me what you want to eat these days, and I will make milk for you. You will be full and have the strength to fight those bastards!"

Cheng Wan touched her stomach and said, "I'm really hungry."

After all, she hasn't been idle ever since someone started causing trouble outside the random building.

It was already past lunch time.

When Mrs. Lin heard that Cheng Wan said she was hungry, she immediately became energetic and said, "Eat some pastries first to cushion your stomach. The chickens have been killed and washed. I originally planned to stew them in the evening, but I will stew them now."
