Jin Qianqian never imagined that merely inheriting an estate would mysteriously grant her a spatial dimension. Unsure of where the space led—to an apocalypse, transmigration, or endless survival sc...
Chapter 732 734. Exclusion
The four maids including Mingyue who just came over are not simple either.
Not only did he undergo devilish training from several shopkeepers, but his skills were also recognized by Mr. Wu.
With the protection of the four of them, the danger can be reduced by half.
What's more, the guards and coachmen assigned to Jin Qianqian are not ordinary people, so it is really difficult to tamper with them.
"I'm afraid it's the tricks in the backyard." Lichun reminded quietly, "Do you want me to write a letter to invite Madam Duan over?"
Nanny Duan is good at medicine, but she didn’t go to Lucheng with us before because she wasn’t needed there.
At that time, Lucheng was in turmoil and there were few wives of the house. Even if there were, their official positions were lower than Gu Wenheng's. If Jin Qianqian didn't like them, she would simply refuse to socialize with them.
But the situation here is much more complicated. Every household has a mistress, and most of these women come from aristocratic families. When they get together, it's like a big drama all day long.
Jin Qianqian was also hesitant about this matter. "Madame Duan is old after all, and the journey is long, so let's not let her go through the trouble."
If this had happened a few years ago, Jin Qianqian might have made Nanny Duan work hard.
But she was nearly fifty when she arrived at the palace. In her early years, she had suffered for a period of time in the palace. As she grew older, her health was not as good as before.
She is now half recuperating and half taking care of others in the mansion. Jin Qianqian is really worried that even if she has worked hard to come here, she will not be able to adapt to the climate here, and then she will suffer from acclimatization, which will cause even greater trouble.
When they first entered this area, many people showed symptoms of acclimatization. After a period of recuperation, they gradually recovered.
"Over the years, Madam Duan has brought in several apprentices," Lichun felt that now was the time to put these people to use.
"I'll write a letter later. If I can't go out on a mission, Nanny Duan will not agree to release me." Before she left, Jin Qianqian had someone ask, but it was Nanny Duan who refused to agree.
Although he had learned a lot of pharmacology, he still couldn't meet her requirements. She said that he needed to be trained for a while before she dared to put him with Jin Qianqian.
Besides, I have already made preparations for both situations and have also sent a letter to General Zhou. Maybe we will get good news soon.
"You don't have to be so nervous. The tricks in the inner house are nothing more than those. Just be careful when we go out on weekdays and keep someone by your side." In Jin Qianqian's space, there are several kinds of good medicines prepared by Guo Yurong, the genius doctor.
In the past few years, in order to go out to sea, Guo Yurong needed some medicinal herbs but was unable to go up the mountain to pick them, so she bought them through Jin Qianqian.
After passing through Jin Qianqian's hands, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to get some benefits.
Every time, Guo Yulong would give her 30% of the medicine he prescribed. Over time, not only the types but also the quantities increased significantly.
Just like the poison pills that are so expensive out there, she has more than a dozen of them stored in her space.
"We will have to deal with these people in the future. What is coming will still come." Jin Qianqian saw that the maids around her were as if they were facing a great enemy, so she smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. After all, I am the wife of an official. Even if they want to plot against me, they have to think twice."
beginning of spring,"……"

In the next few banquets, Jin Qianqian experienced Liang He's pettiness.
Many ladies who had interacted with her before seemed particularly cold when facing her. They just greeted her and then went about their own business. Their intention to exclude her was obvious.
Every time at this time, Liang He would give her a provocative smile, and Jin Qianqian couldn't help but shake her head secretly in her heart.
As a second-rank lady with such short-sightedness and flamboyant behavior, there is no telling when trouble will arise within the family.
Jin Qianqian silently kept these people in mind, and in the following banquets, she turned down all those she could, as if she had disappeared from the circle of ladies in Yongchang County overnight.
Now it was the host of the banquet who felt unhappy.
They knew that they had indeed gone too far these days, but Liang He, the Governor's wife, was not someone they could afford to offend.
While they were trying to please the Governor's wife, they didn't really want to offend Madam Gu.
"Madam Gu won't come today?" Several ladies sat together, and from time to time they looked at Liang He who was sitting not far away.
Mrs. Wang held her handkerchief in her hand and said with disdain, "If it were me, I wouldn't come either.
Some people are really too much. Since you took the initiative to invite people to a banquet, you should at least show your respect as the head of the family. You invited people over, but then left them aside. What's going on?"
Madam Li said, "What else can we do? Madam Liang has already sent a message to her subordinates. We have to offend one of the two."
Who did you offend? That's an easy choice.
Madam Wang: "Madam Gu is doing well. Since no one likes her, why should she suffer this?
You guys are looking forward to her coming, do you want to watch the show? Or do you want to get involved?"
Madam Xiao, "Madam Wang, you are going too far. What does this have to do with us? We are not involved.
For people like us, the low-level officials’ wives, who can we possibly offend?
It is said that when gods fight, mortals suffer. These days, we attend banquets and are trembling with fear every day. Aren’t we all affected?
Look at the banquets these days, where is the purity of the past?"
Madam Wang held her handkerchief, covered her mouth, and said with a smile, "Pure? Madam Xiao's words are a little funny. Every time you squeeze in with us, it's just to protect yourself.
Which banquet is purely excessive? It's just that we are insignificant and just come here to make up the numbers and keep a standing.
You don't have to be so scared, people don't look down on little people like us."
Then he looked at Madam Xiao and said, "Don't stare straight ahead with those eyes. Others didn't take us seriously. If you act like this, you'll be mixed up. If they get angry at you, don't implicate everyone else."
Madam Xiao quickly lowered her head and said nervously, "I really didn't mean it. I was just curious about what Madam Liang's expression would be when she heard that Madam Gu didn't come over again this time."
"Look at you, such a coward, but you are so kind." Mrs. Wang suddenly whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Liang is looking at you now, don't look up at this moment, or you will be caught red-handed."
Madam Xiao almost buried her head in her chest, her tone was nervous, "No, no, I just took a quick look, it's over, I don't know how my master will scold me when I go back this time."
It would be fine if I couldn't help, but now that I've caused trouble again, I won't be able to live like this.
The lady next to her laughed and said, "Madam Xiao, you have been deceived by Madam Wang. This is not true at all.
We are so far away that we can't even get a seat at the banquet. Who would take us seriously and even stare at us?"
