Cousin Chitose Chitose

Master Wen saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Brother Chen, you and this little girl came to our house this time, but for father's birthday?"

"Exactly." Only then did Wei Yichen think about the business: "Last year, my mother prepared a gift for my grandfather, but my grandfather ordered someone to send it back. My father was very upset and got angry at my mother. This year, Yuan was in charge of preparing the gift." Yuan, Yuanyuan is afraid of not being well prepared, so she came to the mansion to ask uncle for advice."

Mrs. Wen gouged out Mrs. Wen's displeasure: "It's all caused by you, and I used my birthday as a gimmick! Only those who are willing to come to celebrate my birthday in person when our family is down are the ones who are really worthy of friendship. It will be the icing on the cake, and people who don’t know how to give charcoal in need want them!”

Master Wen smiled wryly. Even so, the Wen family has been silent for so many years. How easy is it to get up again?He naturally wants to seize every opportunity he can.

"Uncle and your grandfather just don't like the way your father and your stepmother are. If you and Miss Jiang prepared this year's gift, we will accept it." Master Wen said kindly.

Old Mrs. Wen snorted softly: "What are you taking! Everything sent by the Marquis of Changning is not allowed! As long as I am here, our house will never have any contact with the Marquis of Changning! This kind of treacherous family, leave as soon as possible!" far away!"

Master Wen was a little helpless: "Father, I don't want to see Marquis Changning, but this year it is Miss Jiang who is in charge of preparing gifts for you. If you insist on not accepting the gifts from her, someone in Marquis Changning's mansion may pick on her, she I've been living under someone else's fence, and life will be even more difficult..."

There are still some things that Master Wen didn't say, he knew that Old Master Wen didn't like to hear them.

In the officialdom, even political-enemies would greet each other with a smile, so how could it be possible for them to have no contact at all?The Marquis of Changning was at a disadvantage in front of the Wenfu, so the Wen family could naturally put on a higher stance, but if it continued like this, it would pass, and in the eyes of the superiors, it would appear that the Wen family was full of emotions and could not be reused.

"Yes, grandfather." Wei Yichen also chimed in: "You should think about it for me anyway, I personally brought Miss Jiang to your door to beg you, you don't give me any face, you let my grandson take care of me Where should I put it? When the servants in the mansion know that I have fallen out of favor with you, they may not allow me to enter the door."

Jiang Yuanwan was still not used to Wei Yichen's appearance.Wei Yichen is... acting like a spoiled child to Mrs. Wen?It seems that Wei Yichen is indeed very shameless in front of those close to him.Speaking of which, Wei Yichen has been very casual in front of her recently... Stop, stop, I can't think about it anymore.

The old man Wen's intimacy with his grandson is obviously very useful, but he said: "I can play tricks, and I don't know who I learned from."

Wei Yichen thought about it seriously: "On weekdays, apart from my father, the person I get in touch with the most is my uncle..."

Master Wen: Does that mean I spoiled you?Nephew, I haven't offended you, have I?Why frame me like this!

"It's not shameful to be so shameless in front of Miss Jiang!" The old man Wen couldn't bear the stupidity of his son and grandson, so he raised his crutch and gave it to a kidnapper, and then said to Jiang Yuanwan: "Let you I laughed."

"I already know the reason for your visit. However, I still say the same thing, I don't accept gifts from 'Changninghou Mansion', but I accept gifts from 'you'."

Jiang Yuanwan understood what Old Master Wen meant.If Mr. Wen wants to accept her gift, it must be given in her own name, not in the name of the Marquis of Changning.Of course, anyway, this birthday gift came from the Marquis of Changning. In the eyes of outsiders, it is equivalent to a birthday gift prepared by the Marquis of Changning for Mr. Wen.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Wen, before your birthday, the younger generation will definitely prepare a birthday gift for you."

"Do you know what gift I want?"

"Here... you like painting and calligraphy, this junior can find you a copybook or painting by a famous artist as a birthday gift?"

"There's no need for famous calligraphy and paintings, they are all casual gifts. It would be great if you write a picture for me yourself."

Although Old Master Wen said so, Wei Yichen didn't think that Jiang Yuanwan needed to save money for his father.

Afterwards, Wei Yichen said to Jiang Yuanwan: "If you need to buy anything, just ask your servants to buy it, and add the gift that your grandfather asked for at the end. If you give too little gift, the people in the house will only say that you are negligent. government."

Jiang Yuanwan thought so too.

Don't look at her and Wei Jinxuan and Wei Jinshu's mother and daughter living in peace during this time, they have been waiting to find out her fault.In the previous assessment, Jiang Yuanwan overwhelmed the others, and there were always people who wanted to get back to the place secretly, so she had to deal with every task that followed with [-] points of energy.

"Fortunately, I have my cousin to help me, otherwise, this time, I'm afraid I will really make people laugh."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yuanwan felt her face being pinched: "I have already accepted your thank you gift in advance. If you are polite to me again... If you say a polite word, I will pinch you once."

Jiang Yuanwan: "..."

Wei Yichen: "By the way, why didn't I hear that you have an older brother?"

"My brother and I have been separated since we were young, and we haven't seen each other for a long time..." Jiang Yuanwan continued the same rhetoric.

"Didn't you ask my father to come forward and look for you?"

"I've looked for it, but I can't find it... Uncle is afraid that I will be sad, so he never mentioned brother in front of me."

Seeing that Jiang Yuanwan didn't want to say more, Wei Yichen didn't ask any more questions, but he decided to find out about Jiang Yuanwan's elder brother.

……

Wei Jinshu has been waiting for Jiang Yuanwan to ask her for help. She has already made up her mind. If the matter is done well, it will be credited to her. If it is not done well, it can be pushed to Jiang Yuanwan.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement from Jiang Yuanwan's place, and Wei Jinshu finally couldn't sit still--Could it be that Jiang Yuanwan hasn't noticed the need to prepare a gift for the Wen family?

During the chat again, Wei Jinshu pretended to be casual and asked Jiang Yuanwan: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Wen's birthday is coming up soon. I wonder what Cousin Jiang has prepared?"

"Wen's family? Is it elder brother's natal family?" Wei Jinxuan covered her lips and exclaimed, "Is our family still in touch with Wen's family?"

"That's natural. Speaking of which, my aunt gave a gift to Wenfu last year. If Cousin Jiang doesn't know what the Wen family likes, she can ask her for advice. The ceremony was returned, which shows how difficult it is for the Wen family to please..." Wei Jinshu looked at Jiang Yuanwan worriedly.

Jiang Yuanwan looked at Wei Jinshu's fake face but felt tired for a while: "I'm sorry, cousin. Speaking of which, this work was originally done by the second sister. I don't know what kind of gift list the second sister planned to draw up for the Wen family?"

Wei Jinshu's eyes flickered: "To tell the truth from my cousin, when I handed over this work to my cousin, I didn't notice that the Wen family was also among the gifts, so I never thought about what to give to the Wen family. It’s all my fault that I encountered such a problem in this job.”

Wei Jinxuan could tell. Wei Jinshu dug a hole and waited for Jiang Yuanwan to dance.Although Jiang Yuanwan's comparison of Wei Jinxuan and Wei Jinshu made Wei Jinxuan not so happy, but Wei Jinshu's actions obviously made Wei Jinxuan vigilant—now she can dig Jiang Yuanwan. The pit, shouldn't it be time to dig a pit for her in a few days?

"Second sister is really kind, but it's a pity that others can't bear your kindness." Wei Jinxuan stabbed Wei Jinshu, then turned her head and suggested to Jiang Yuanwan: "Cousin, if you really can't solve this matter, let's go find someone else." Father, let's be clear. Father has always been reasonable and will never embarrass you because of this matter. "

Now the three are housekeepers, and every move of each of them is related to the evaluation of them by others.If Jiang Yuanwan could not properly handle the gift list and asked Marquis Changning for help, others would naturally think that she was incompetent.But no matter what, it was better than Jiang Yuanwan being returned the gift by the Wenfu in public.

Wei Jinxuan didn't like Jiang Yuanwan's outrageous things, but she also didn't want her to be too embarrassing.When Jiang Yuanwan was able to join the housekeeping, it was Wei Jinxuan who spoke for her in front of Mrs. Tai.If Jiang Yuanwan loses face in public, Wei Jinxuan will inevitably end up with a reputation of being unknown.

"Thank you, cousin, I already have some ideas about Mrs. Wen's birthday gift, and I want to try to deal with it myself."

"You can do whatever you want." Seeing that her well-intentioned suggestion was rejected, Wei Jinxuan didn't bother to care about it.

"Since Cousin Jiang is so confident, we'll be waiting for the good news from Cousin Jiang at the mansion. Cousin Jiang is so smart, and the gift I think will satisfy Mr. Wen." Wei Jinshu gave a cold snort of disdain.She would like to see how Jiang Yuanwan plans to end up when Jiang Yuanwan is humiliated by Wenfu!

Not only Wei Jinxuan and Wei Jinshu, but even the servants who knew about it were not optimistic about Jiang Yuanwan.

"Hey, I really don't know what is the use of our time-consuming preparation of these things. When my wife was housekeeper last year, she asked us to prepare these things, but the Wen family also confiscated them and returned them all. It's scary to think about it." - Shame." A maid complained while preparing Mrs. Wen's birthday gift according to the gift list.

"That's right, apart from some routine things, Madam has also prepared authentic works by famous masters and the four treasures of the study. What did Miss Biao prepare? She actually planned to give her own calligraphy and paintings to Mrs. Wen. This is really... Could it be possible?" Does she feel that her calligraphy and painting are comparable to masterpieces of famous masters?"

"Don't worry about her. Since Miss Biao is in charge of this matter now, we'll just do what she says. Anyway, we can't blame us if something goes wrong..."

"That's not the case. When the time comes, the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss will get compliments, but we are the only ones here who haven't done a good job. Of course Miss Biao will not be able to escape a reprimand, and the masters will think that we are not doing well..."

"It's work time now, what nonsense are you talking about! If anyone delays work, I'll immediately report to the lady to kick them out!" Hong Xing glanced around coldly, and felt a little satisfied when she saw that everyone was silent. .

Hongyu and Hongxing are gentle in nature. When they were little maids, there was nothing wrong with their temperament.Now that she is a big servant girl, when suppressing her subordinates, it is not enough to just be gentle.Hongyu still took the gentle route, but Hongxing gradually showed her sharpness. One of them played a white face and the other played a red face, so that they could manage to control the restless girl under him.

"This group of ignorant guys are all waiting to see our lady's jokes! After the lady's gift is delivered, I see what else they have to say!"

At this moment, both Hongyu and Hongxing held their breaths in their hearts.
