A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Qingyu didn't hesitate after hearing Xiangdong's words, "Then let's go and have a look."

Xiangdong bowed slightly respectfully and made a gesture of invitation.

The beaded hairpin hanging down from her head reflected a delicate and bright side face. Coupled with a nice lotus-colored ruqi, she looks pretty. In this outfit, she is richer and more respectable than the grandmother of a small family.

But this is normal, the prime minister's concierge is a third-rank official. The steward of the Shen family's inner house does have a better life than the grandmother of a small family. In addition, Xiangdong was the old lady's maid before, so she was more respectable.

Few people in this house probably know that Xiangdong looks a little arrogant on weekdays, and is not even very gregarious. In fact, he had been bribed by Chen a long time ago.

Chen's ability to make this move must be due to a well-thought-out plan. The first day she was asked to take charge of the house, she lost all face. Even more serious than losing face.

Xiangdong was one step behind Su Qingyu, and they went to the inner courtyard warehouse together.

When the maids who were sweeping the yard saw Su Qingyu coming, they all stepped forward to salute.

Xiangdong opened the door of the warehouse. There was an agarwood table at the door of the warehouse, with several account books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on it.

She didn't go inside, she just picked up three paintings from the table and motioned to Pearl and Jade to open them for her.

"Third Madam, these are the paintings chosen by the Second Madam before. Please tell me which one has the best meaning."

"This painting was given to the young lady of the Zhang family by the second lady. Do you think this painting of the winter plum blossoms is better?"

If Su Qingyu didn't know the inside story, she would have been taken to the ditch by Xiangdong.

These three paintings have neither signatures nor seals on them.

One painting depicts thousands of troops fighting on the battlefield, the other depicts the early blooming plum blossoms and auspicious snow heralding a good harvest. Another picture shows Qingming after the rain, full of spring.

When it comes to giving it to Miss Zhang, the Hanmei painting is naturally suitable. But if even a corner of these three paintings were given away, it would be a big deal for the Shen family.

Because these paintings are all authentic works by the old man of the Shen family. Inside the Shen family's warehouse, there is also a small warehouse, which contains the old man's paintings and some books he used during his lifetime.

These things had been in the study room of Qingyuan Residence before. Because the old lady was reminded of her father by the things, Shen Zhixiu decided to move them here.

The Shen family would never give these things as gifts.

Su Qingyu knew in her heart that if she didn't know anything today, she would choose the painting according to Xiangdong's words. Tomorrow morning, this matter will be brought to the attention of the old lady. Xiangdong would probably say that she went in and selected it herself, and the warehouse managers were unaware of it.

Xiangdong would receive a small punishment, and she, the housekeeper, almost took the old man's belongings out of the house on the first day. Even if it wasn't intentional, this family doesn't need to worry about it.

"It's hard for me to do this, Mr. Xiang. Every painting looks good to me. Whose painting is this? It's really good."

Xiangdong said respectfully: "It's not a famous person, but it was bought by my family in the early years."

"The second lady said that ladies don't need to give so expensive gifts to each other, so they decided to send paintings."

While several people were talking, a little maid came in to salute and said to Xiangdong.

"Manager Xiang, a piece of porcelain was accidentally knocked and cracked. Can you go over and have a look?"

Xiangdong scolded, "Why are you so careless? Just leave it alone, I will go there later. Didn't you see the third lady doing this?"

Su Qingyu knew that Xiangdong wanted to leave and create the illusion that she was the only one left in the warehouse.

"Manager Xiang, go and do your work. I'll just take a look at this painting again."

After sending Xiangdong away, Su Qingyu sat on a chair and thought about the next thing.

Suddenly there were footsteps in the warehouse, and then a little maid came out carrying a basin and cotton towel.

When he saw Su Qingyu, he was stunned and said, "Hello, Third Madam, my servant Qinglian, I was just wiping the dust inside."

Su Qingyu's eyes lit up when she saw Qinglian. In her previous life, she came to the warehouse to help the old lady find an old object from the past. She was almost hit by a plum vase that slipped, but Qinglian helped her block it.

She had a good impression of this girl and knew that she was an honest person and never cheated or cheated.

Su Qingyu looked at Qinglian with a smile and asked.

"Qinglian, your manager said that you can choose one of these three paintings to give to the young lady of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion. Do you think it's okay?"

The maids who work in the warehouse must not only clean the dust, but also be familiar with the things in the warehouse. On weekdays, they have to take stock of the book and know what is in the warehouse. They are very familiar with it.

Qinglian was surprised at first, then glanced at the painting. He immediately said: "Third Madam, this is absolutely impossible. This painting is an authentic work of the old man, how can you give it out as a gift?"

Su Qingyu looked at her appreciatively, "That's not what your manager said."

Qinglian pursed her lips and said, "I can't lie to the third lady."

"Miss, Manager Xiang is back." Feicui walked to Su Qingyu from the window and whispered.

Su Qingyu's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said to Qinglian: "Go inside, don't be seen. No matter what you see, don't make a sound for a while, and you can help me prove it later."

Before Qinglian understood what was going on, she was brought inside by Pearl.

After a while, Xiangdong hurried back.

Full of apologies, "I kept the third lady waiting for a long time. How did you choose?"

"If you have chosen it, I will prepare it and send it to the second lady."

Su Qingyu asked, "Does Manager Xiang think it's appropriate to send paintings?"

Xiangdong was slightly startled, his expression a bit unnatural.

"I don't understand this. When the ladies and gentlemen in the mansion go out to give gifts, the lady in charge decides what to give, and we help prepare them."

Su Qingyu thought about it awkwardly and asked, "According to the supervisor, is the picture of Winter Plum Blossom still suitable?"

Xiangdong nodded, "It's just my humble opinion, it depends on what the third lady wants."

Su Qingyu glanced at the painting again and asked: "Whose original painting is this? It's really like everyone's style."

Xiangdong said casually, "I heard that he was a poor scholar who passed by the door. The gentlemen took pity on him, so they exchanged some money for a few paintings. It's just right for the second lady to give it to Miss Zhang. It's elegant but not tacky."

Su Qingyu's face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly turned cold.

"A down-and-out poor scholar? How dare you say that."

"Jade, tie me up, let's go to Qingyuan Residence."

As soon as Su Qingyu finished speaking, there was a click, and Feicui directly twisted Xiangdong's arms behind her back.

The sound just now was the sound of bones dislocating.

"Madam, I don't have a rope in my hands, so I'll just hold you there."

Xiangdong was shocked and struggled hard.

"Madam, what are you doing? If I have done anything wrong, you can just tell me and I can explain."

Not sure if it was because Jade touched her belly, Xiangdong subconsciously covered her belly.

Su Qingyu snorted, "Explain? You'll explain it later."

If she wants to touch the steward in the mansion, or the steward who comes from Qingyuanju, she should tell the old lady both emotionally and rationally.

A group of people went to Qingyuan Residence in a mighty manner, and the news that the third lady had tied up the steward Xiang quickly spread throughout the mansion.
