Chapter 15 Reincarnation is a great skill

"A-choo!"

Late at night, when Qi Chengzhou was getting off his horse to go home, he suddenly sneezed.

It's such a hot day.

He sniffed his body and found that it was the smell of powder left by those clingy prostitutes at the banquet.

As usual, he went to the study in the front yard first, changed into clean clothes, and then slowly returned to Mingfang Pavilion.

Mingfang Pavilion.

After Qin Jiangyun came back from paying his respects at Yujin Hall, he first sent away the housekeepers and maids one by one, then sat cross-legged on the kang couch in the outer hall and carefully sorted out the accounts and expenses of this marriage.

Ever since Sanlang made up his mind to marry Shen's cousin, Mrs. Yue was so angry that she stayed in bed and refused to go out.

From proposing marriage, accepting betrothal gifts, asking for the name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gifts, asking for the date, welcoming the bride, wedding banquet, food banquet, guests... Qin Jiangyun helped to arrange everything.

Sanlang's wedding was very expensive... naturally there was a lot of profit to be made.

After much calculation, it was not until late at night that Qin Jiangyun finally sorted out both the public and private accounts and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not bad, all the work was not in vain.

Aunt Chun had just coaxed Luan Jie'er to sleep. She turned around and saw Qin Jiangyun looking tired, so she walked over and gently rubbed her shoulders.

"Grandma, you work hard as a housekeeper, so you should take care of yourself."

Qin Jiangyun stretched and leaned on the couch.

"Chun'er, what do you think of our Third Grandma?"

Aunt Chun was her dowry maid. She looked at Qin Jiangyun's expression and carefully chose her words.

"Although Master Chen is an official, he is just a teacher with an empty title. He cannot compare to the wealth of our Qin family, let alone the Qi family. This marriage is really too high. Second Madam, don't worry. Third Madam can't compete with you for the position."

Qin Jiangyun sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Why does she need to fight? My third brother is the legitimate son, and our grandfather is the illegitimate son. She, the third grandmother, has always been superior to me. What's the point of fighting or not?"

"Third Master is young and doesn't manage much. Aren't most of the properties at home and abroad in the hands of Second Master and Grandma? When Madam dies, we won't suffer any loss when we divide the family property."

"He didn't manage much before, but now he has a small fortune. He wants to start a business after getting married. He married a woman who can read and write. If he takes advantage of the situation... I'm afraid we will be trampled down very soon."

"That being said, I have met Third Madam several times in previous years. She is a young lady from an official family, raised in seclusion, thin-skinned and soft-tempered. She is not as knowledgeable and resourceful as Madam."

"She has never seen the world, but Sanlang has been raised in the capital since he was a child. He has experienced everything and met everyone. If you count carefully, he has at least eight hundred tricks! Didn't you see that when we paid our respects this morning and evening, he followed her everywhere, not leaving her side for a single step, for fear that others would bully his bride."

Aunt Chun also frowned.

"It's really strange. Didn't the Third Master say he had already been engaged to Miss Yue? When did he start to have his eyes on Miss Shen? He made such a fuss and made the Madam so angry."

"This is what it means to be possessed by a devil! No one can tell. Hey, do you think that the two of them were hooking up before? It's not uncommon for cousins to have known each other since childhood."

"If it's the Third Master... I believe it, but the eldest daughter of the Shen family is not such a person. Apart from other things, just look at how noble Master Shen is. Even if our family is so rich, his poor officials have never come to ask for money, let alone let their daughter do such a thing."

Qin Jiangyun thought about it, then nodded and smiled.

"That's right. If it weren't for my aunt's help, Uncle Shen would be so poor that he would have to live on his own. Even so, he still wouldn't easily visit the Qi family! Occasionally, he would come to sit with us during festivals, and his back would be straighter than anyone else's!"

"I see, the Third Master is young, and he has always been at odds with his wife. This marriage... maybe it's out of spite?"

Qin Jiangyun snorted coldly.

"If he was angry, then he was too angry! I heard that he had a big fight with the old man of the Yue family in the capital-"

As the master and servant were talking, they suddenly heard some noise in the yard. They guessed that it was Qi Chengzhou who had returned, so they went out together to greet him.

Qi Chengzhou was about to go to the west wing, but when he saw Qin lifting the curtain and coming out, he turned around and went to the main room.

Qin Jiangyun smiled and welcomed him in, helped him take off his coat, served him tea, and gave Aunt Chun a look. The latter understood, said a few words, and asked someone to carry Luan Jie'er back to her room.

"You didn't even go to meet your new sister-in-law on the first day she came home. Fortunately, she's not a stranger. Otherwise, wouldn't that be rude?"

Qi Chengzhou took the tea and took a sip.

"What's there to see? She's a relative, and I've seen her before. But I didn't expect that my third brother would really marry her. What did the madam say? Did you see her expression today?"

Qin Jiangyun massaged his shoulders, smiled and sighed.

"Madam wanted to show some respect, but you didn't see it. Today, when offering tea and greetings, Third Brother followed closely, fearing that someone would eat his wife. She is so beloved."

"It's not Madam's fault. Anyone would have to give her a cold shoulder if it happened to her! Third brother is really willful... Never mind. Reincarnation is a great skill. I can't envy it."

Qin Jiangyun knew that Qi Chengzhou believed that he was smarter than anyone else in the world, and he had suffered a lot of grievances just because he was born out of wedlock, so he tried to comfort him with good intentions.

"What kind of ability is that? Who doesn't have one or two spoiled dandies? They are all useless. My husband is like this, supporting such a huge family business by himself. He is a truly capable person."

Qi Chengzhou felt relieved to hear that, and patted her hand with a smile. Qin Jiangyun smiled and leaned against her husband's shoulder.

Suddenly, she smelled powder on the back of his neck.

I don’t know which bitch this happened to.

She pretended not to notice and continued smiling gently.

"Husband, where are you going to stay tonight? I'll have someone prepare clothes for you to wear tomorrow."

Qi Chengzhou hesitated for a moment, then smiled and touched Qin's smooth cheek.

"Right here. Seeing that my third brother is getting married, we have to give birth to a son as soon as possible so that Sister Luan can have a younger brother sooner."

Qin Jiangyun was the wife he chose himself. She was not only beautiful, but also scheming, resourceful, and tolerant.

At the beginning of their marriage, Qi Chengzhou promised her that no matter how many women he had, the eldest son would be born to Qin.

He had suffered enough from being born out of wedlock and didn't want to mistreat his heir.

Qin Jiangyun nodded with a smile, and hurriedly asked the maids to make the bed and help him bathe and change clothes. The couple went into the tent to sleep and enjoyed their lovemaking.

The moon is at its zenith.

Seeing that Qin Jiangyun was fast asleep, Qi Chengzhou quietly put on his clothes and got up.

When the door was pushed open, the little maid who was on night watch heard the noise and stood up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Qi Chengzhou made a "hush" sound, signaling her to be quiet, and lowered his voice.

"If your grandmother asks tomorrow morning, just say I went out early in the morning."

It was not the first time that the little maid heard this instruction, and she nodded hurriedly.

There are two concubines in this courtyard. Concubine Chun lives in the east wing, and Concubine Xue lives in the west wing.

Qi Chengzhou, as usual, walked westward.

In the main room, Qin Jiangyun stood up, put on his clothes and stood in front of the window, looking at the light that had just been turned on in the west wing.

After half a day, he finally uttered two words.

"How mean."

I don't know who she is scolding.
