While waiting, Qu Ying held the tea in her hand, and just as it reached her mouth, she put it down again, "Well, your two sisters secretly sent you something, so they must have a good relationship with you, right?

Why are you waiting here for their mother? "

Looking at the girl in front of him, how could she be so clueless? "Can you please not make your brain so precious and use it for a while?"

Qu Ying pouted and rolled her eyes. Who said she didn't use her brain? This was an insult to her and she understood it.

“My sister and I have an average relationship, and I should say we hardly communicated before.

When my mother was alive, she was extremely disappointed with my father and no longer cared about the affairs of the mansion. All of them were handled by Aunt Qiu. She had some personal money in her hands, and my brother and I had been supported by this money for our food, clothing and other expenses over the years.

Aunt Juan was Aunt Qiu's maid, and Aunt Qiu disliked her. Fortunately, she gave birth to a daughter, so she was not favored by my father, but she was able to raise the child safely.

But I remember that when Aunt Juan gave birth, she was pregnant with twins and had a difficult delivery. The little maid who took care of her begged my mother, saying that it was Aunt Qiu who did not allow her to call a doctor.

My mother came forward to invite a doctor, and that saved the three of us, but I was still young at the time and don’t remember clearly.”

Qu Ying suddenly understood and let out a long sigh, "Then your mother can be considered their savior."

"Madam Juan is good at embroidery. Lu Zhu heard that over the years, when the money given by the government was not enough, she would embroider some handkerchiefs and sell them in this shop.

The proprietress of this shop is from the same hometown as Aunt Juan. They knew each other before. If Aunt Juan hadn't been pregnant with my father's child, they might have redeemed their indentures and opened an embroidery shop together."

Qu Ying was already very dissatisfied with Jiang Zhou, and after hearing such words, she became even angrier. She drank a sip of tea in depression. Chunzhi and Aunt Juan walked out of the shop opposite together.

Chunzhi pointed in the direction of Jiang Yuan and the others. Aunt Juan saw Jiang Yuan sitting by the window of the teahouse. She held the silver wrapped in a handkerchief in both hands and bowed deeply to Jiang Yuan.

Aunt Juan left quickly. Looking at her back, she raised her hand as if to wipe away her tears.

Chunzhi returned to the teahouse, looking back every few steps. "Miss, as you instructed, I gave Aunt Juan twenty taels, ten taels of silver notes, and ten taels of change."

Qu Ying suddenly asked, "Why did you only give 20 taels? Why didn't you give more?"

Jiang Yuan stood up, pulled her outside, and explained, "Now the mansion is afraid that they are looking for silver everywhere. Giving too much will easily arouse suspicion.

Before, Mumu and Linlin gave me a total of more than five taels, which should be the savings of the three of them, mother and daughter, for many years.

Everyone in the mansion knew that Aunt Juan would sell some embroidery to supplement her income, so it was not surprising that she had more than ten taels of silver. "

Chunzhi followed and added, "I have also told my aunt, and I have also made an agreement with the owner of the embroidery shop. From now on, I will put ten taels of silver in her hands every month.

When Auntie comes to sell her embroidery, she can take it away, so that it won’t be discovered by anyone with ulterior motives.”

Qu Ying was smart this time. She sat in the carriage and said with a smile, "You are afraid of being seen. If the mother and daughter are in contact with you, their lives will be difficult, right?"

Seeing her smiling face, Jiang Yuan nodded and praised her, "Not bad, you can use your brain now."

This made Qu Ying roll her eyes again.

Jiang Yuan does not have the ability to take his sister out of the Jiang Mansion now, but fortunately his sister is still young and will not be in danger for a while.

Giving them some money would make their lives more comfortable and better.

Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet at Chunjiang Pond

Jiang Yuan was woken up by Zhishu and others early in the morning, and was forced to sit in front of the dressing table and get ready.

Looking at Jiang Yuan who looked helpless in the mirror, Zhishu combed her hair and couldn't help laughing, "The Second Miss ordered this, young lady, you can't be angry with me."

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes.

After getting dressed, when Jiang Yuan went out, she felt that the light reflected from the hairpin on her head in the sun was dazzling her eyes.

It was rare for the princess to accompany him to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet. Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying waited in the carriage for a while. When the princess got in the carriage and saw Jiang Yuan, she couldn't help but praise him, "Look, you look so good after dressing up. You usually dress too plainly."

Jiang Yuan shook his neck, "It's very tiring, like this."

While chatting, we soon arrived at Chunjiang Pond.

Jiang Wan had just got off the carriage. When He Xiang was tidying up her dress, she saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Girl, the second girl is here too."

Jiang Wan turned around suddenly and saw Jiang Yuan getting off the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion. Not only that, she was dressed particularly brightly today.

The material of her dress was the most fashionable in the capital. It was purple gauze embroidered with gold, and the lining was a gradient of the same color. The whole dress was shining, the purple was soft, and the gold brightened it, making her look gentle and noble.

"How can she afford such good material? It's the most fashionable in the capital, and you can't buy it even if you have money." Jiang Wan was so angry that her teeth were itching.

Especially when she learned that Jiang Yuan had donated her dowry, her mother had spent all the money and jewelry that could be sold in the entire mansion and shops these days, saving all the dowry for her.

Prince Anyang came to ask for the money that very day, taking the estimated dowry IOU and asking Jiang's father to write an IOU. He not only went alone, he also brought a team of people with him, as if he was going to confiscate the house.

Jiang Zhou said that if the money could not be raised, Prince Anyang would really confiscate the Jiang Mansion and even sell the land for money.

Helplessly, everyone in the mansion is tightening their belts to make ends meet. If she hadn't cried and made a fuss, all her jewelry would have had to be sold.

There was also Jiang Hao. As soon as his house arrest was lifted, he went out to drink and gamble with his friends. He stayed in brothels for three days in a row. When he returned home to ask for money, he found out that he had brought 500 taels with him when he went out, and he spent it all, and still owed the gambling house several dozen taels.

In a rage, Jiang's father used the family rules to beat him so hard that he is still lying on the bed. Otherwise, he would have come to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet no matter what.

Their family lived a miserable life, but Jiang Yuan actually wore such expensive clothes. Jiang Wan was so angry that she trembled all over.

"Let's go. She's been acting rebellious. Even if she marries into the Marquis' Mansion, I'm still her elder sister. Today, I'll teach her a lesson on behalf of my father." After saying this, Jiang Wan walked in angrily without waiting for He Xiang to persuade her.

Jiang Yuan didn't know that her clothes were so expensive. Since she came to the Marquis' Mansion, people would send her clothes every now and then. At first, she bought them, and later the embroiderer came to measure her size, and then she would make one set and send it to her.

Seeing that Qu Ying was wearing the same dress, she didn't pay much attention to it.

As a result, the fabrics for Chunzhi and Luzhu's clothes also improved. They also said that the treatment in the Marquis' Mansion was good.
