Chapter 11 Qin Jiangyun
After Qi Huaijing left, Chen Tang lay on the bed, thinking silently in his heart.
On the eve of her wedding, she tossed and turned all night, fearing that she, the daughter of a poor eighth-rank official, would not be able to be a good third wife of a wealthy family like the Qi family.
Fortunately, she grew up with her stepmother, and learned to read people's expressions early on. She also made up her mind to keep a low profile and be careful with her words and actions after marrying into the Qi family. However, she never expected that her cousin would actually...
Man proposes, God disposes.
Low profile... It's impossible to be low profile.
I'm afraid there is no bride in the entire Guangling City who is more high-profile than her.
The game has begun and the matter is settled. No matter what the future holds, she can only stick with it to the end.
It was hot in the afternoon, and even though there was ice in the room, she was still sweating when she woke up, and her cheeks were flushed.
As soon as I got up, a maid came to tell me that Mrs. Qin said she would come to Wutong Garden for a short visit later.
Chen Tang nodded, and seeing that it was still early, he asked Huaping to pass on a message, instructing the maids to fetch water to wash their faces and fade the blush off their faces.
Seeing that the new master gave orders for the first time, the head maid Bai Lu hurried to make arrangements. Not only did she have people bring water for washing face, but she also sent ice cream and fresh fruits, and even prepared bath water, ready for the master to take a bath.
When Chen Tang was washing his face, Bai Lu came over to help him roll up his sleeves and take off the bracelet, which was very considerate and attentive.
Seeing that she was obedient and considerate, Chen Tang secretly praised her in her heart, saying that she was worthy of being a maid who had served her cousin since childhood. She was so smart, no wonder Qi Huaijing kept her.
However, did Bai Lu serve him like this in the past?
Chen Tang guessed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
After washing her face, Chen Tang changed into casual clothes and re-dressed herself while chatting with Bai Lu.
Bai Lu has a slender figure, thin eyebrows and long eyes. Although she is not a particularly outstanding beauty, she is pretty and beautiful.
When her master asked her questions, she didn't shy away and answered each question in a very graceful and confident manner.
She was originally a maid in the Yue family in the capital. She had been serving Qi Huaijing since she was seven or eight years old. Later, when the third master returned to Linjiang City, she followed him.
Now, she is the head maid in charge of Wutong Courtyard. She is in charge of the maids' morning and evening reporting, assignment of tasks, monthly salary payment, and food, clothing and other expenses.
Chen Tang asked clearly, and calculated in his mind that Bai Lu had known Qi Huaijing earlier than himself... He felt a little uncomfortable.
It can be seen that seeing Bai Lu's frank response, Qi Huaijing was so... unfamiliar last night.
Forget it, I'll just make a note of it and talk about it later.
As they were talking, they heard a burst of laughter outside. Chen Tang knew it was Qin who came, and hurried out to greet her.
Qin Jiangyun came here, fanning herself, holding her daughter Qi Luan, followed by three or five maids and wet nurses, and another crowded crowd.
When she saw Chen Tang coming out, she hurriedly took two steps forward, smiled and took her hand, and walked into the house together. Two maids were already waiting with the door curtain lifted high.
"Sister, did you just wake up from your nap? We are not disturbing you, are we?"
Chen Tang smiled and offered his seat while ordering people to serve tea and snacks.
"How can that be possible? I'm eagerly looking forward to my sister-in-law coming."
Chen Tang knew that Qin Jiangyun had been managing the household for Madam Yue since he came into the family. Like his second brother Qi Chengzhou, he was busy all day long.
At this moment, she was able to bring Sister Luan to sit for a while, which was also taking time out of her busy schedule.
Qi Luan was a little girl of about four or five years old. She wore a rose-red silk flowered skirt and had two buns on her head. She was very cute.
"Come on, Luan'er, do you still recognize Aunt Tang from my aunt's family? It's time to call her aunt now! Call her aunt quickly."
Perhaps because she was young and had not seen a stranger for a long time, the little girl was a little shy. She hid in her mother's arms and did not want to speak.
Before Chen Tang got married, he was closest to his younger sister, Chen Li, and he knew a lot of tricks to win over young girls.
"Luan'er just woke up from her nap, didn't she? She's so well behaved that she didn't make any noise. When my little sister Li'er was little, she would cry for a long time after waking up, and no one could comfort her."
When Qin Jiangyun heard Chen Tang praising his daughter, he smiled somewhat sincerely.
"My little girl is very well-behaved and considerate, but she is a little girl and always in poor health. She gets sick every other day. She caught a cold a few days ago and was taking medicine yesterday. She is feeling better today."
"The child is still young, and it is common for him to get sick. When he grows up a little, he will run more, jump more, eat more, and sleep more, and his body will naturally get better."
As he spoke, Chen Tang smiled and picked up a candied fruit from the plate on the table.
"It's hard for Luan'er to take bitter medicine for so long. Come, auntie will give you some candied fruit, and your mouth will be sweet."
When Luan Jie'er saw the candied fruit, she wanted to take it, but was shy. She looked up at her mother and saw Qin nodding with a smile. Then she leaned forward and reached out to take the candied fruit.
Chen Tang smiled and handed the candied fruit to her, then took the child in his arms and placed her on his lap.
Luan Jie'er looked up at her and saw that she was smiling and looked gentle and amiable. She sat obediently in her arms and started eating candied fruit.
