Chapter 919: A Hostess's Attitude
"Wanwan, these are things I'll need when I return home tomorrow."
Mrs. Song sorted things into categories meticulously, which showed her great attentiveness.
Jiang Wan frowned slightly when she thought of Jiang Shaowen and others who had not left yet.
"Mom, you know my relationship with them, there's no need..."
"Silly child."
Mrs. Song spoke in a gentle tone, "I know that yard is yours, and I will put it in your small storehouse when I take it away.
On the surface, he is still your father. If the things are too shabby, outsiders will think that our palace does not value you."
She didn't like Jiang Shaowen and Tao Niang, but she was extremely satisfied with Jiang Wan and would never damage Wanwan's face.
"Thank you, mother."
Jiang Wan felt warmed in the heart, and asked Qiu Niang to put the things into the register one by one because she was going back home.
It was rare that Song Jiuyuan did not make a fuss at night, and the two of them had a good rest that night. The next morning, they returned to the nearby Jiang Mansion with dozens of gifts.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan's sedan chairs were in the front, followed closely by the return gifts.
When they entered the palace, the last gift was still there and had not been taken out.
When the people of Jiuzhou saw this scene, they were filled with envy.
"The prince really dotes on the princess. Even the return visit is so grand."
"That's because you don't know how beautiful our princess is. She deserves it."
"It turns out that the prince is a colorist. If anyone has a beautiful daughter, they will make a fortune!"
“…”
In the teahouse not far away, Zuo Tingting curled her lips when she heard this.
"When I attended the wedding banquet that day, the prince only had eyes for the princess.
If it were someone else, he would probably look down on him even if he was a celestial being."
"Your Majesty, please don't think about it, but you can think about being the princess's apprentice."
The left governor's eyes fell on the palace not far away and continued to brainwash his daughter.
"The most powerful person in the entire Jiuzhou is the prince, and the prince listens to the princess the most.
If you marry her disciple, you will be in Jiuzhou..."
"father!"
Zuo Tingting was quite angry, "I've already said that I won't do anything to break up people's marriages."
"How could I have given birth to such a stubborn daughter like you?"
Governor Zuo looked at Madam Zuo who was silent on the side and said, "Please persuade Tingting more.
This is a good thing, it will also be beneficial to my career, and maybe it can also help her brother."
"You just know brother brother."
Zuo Tingting was so angry that she ran away. Madam Zuo glanced at Governor Zuo calmly and said, "I won't force Tingting to do anything she doesn't want to do."
After saying that, she followed Zuo Tingting away, and Governor Zuo was so angry that he almost threw the teacup in his hand.
Instead, the girl sitting in the corner whispered softly, “Daddy, don’t be angry.
My sister has always been arrogant, so it's normal that she is unwilling to lower her posture.
It's a pity that my daughter is a concubine's daughter, otherwise I would have to find a way to help my father and brother."
Zuo Dai considerately helped Governor Zuo to calm down. She was the daughter of Governor Zuo's most beloved concubine.
Because her biological mother gave birth to the only male in the Zuo mansion, their status in the Zuo family was second only to Madam Zuo and Zuo Tingting.
Upon hearing this, Governor Zuo's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Zuo Dai eagerly.
This concubine's daughter is slightly less pretty than Tingting, but she is a pretty girl from a small family and much more polite than girls from ordinary families.
"Do you know the princess's apprentice?"
"Daddy."
Zuo Dai's eyes widened in surprise, looking flattered.
"That's the person my sister likes. Dai'er doesn't dare..."
"She is the one who doesn't know how to cherish me. With me here, she won't dare to blame you!"
…
When Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan returned home, they heard Tao Niang scolding the servants.
"How did you sweep the floor? You didn't even clean up the fallen leaves. And..."
She stood there chattering non-stop, different from the one Jiang Wan and the others saw when they first met her.
If she used to be a gentle and timid ordinary peasant woman, now she acts like an official's wife.
These servants were trained by Qiu Niang when she was alive, so naturally they did not obey her discipline.
"Madam Tao, we are the princess's servants."
Tao Niang frowned, feeling provoked, and suddenly became angry, "The princess is not here, I will take her place..."
"presumptuous!"
Qiu Niang interrupted Tao Niang's words in a harsh voice. Everyone turned around and saw Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan coming side by side.
Seeing that it was them, everyone bowed, "Prince and Princess."
"My Lord, my Lady Princess."
In front of Jiang Wan, Tao Niang instantly returned to her former timid appearance. She nervously clutched the handkerchief in her hand, fearing that Jiang Wan would make trouble.
"You guys go down first."
Jiang Wan waved her hand and asked the servants in the mansion to leave first, then she walked into the yard.
Tao Niang followed closely, her heart beating wildly. She thought Jiang Wan would blame her.
But no.
Jiang Wan simply asked someone to put the return gift into the small warehouse, and Qiu Niang arranged it in an orderly manner.
Tao Niang stood there very uncomfortably, like a clown, and no one paid any attention to her.
By the time Jiang Shaowen got the news and hurried over, his legs and feet had recovered a lot, but he still walked relatively slowly.
"Wanwan, Prince, you are back. I asked Tao Niang to arrange for the servants in the mansion to prepare food."
After all, it was a return banquet, so Jiang Shaowen wanted to make it more decent.
"No need, Qiu Niang will arrange it herself."
Jiang Wan's voice was a little cold and a little angry. She let him treat Tao Niang however he wanted in the Jiang family.
But this Jiang Mansion belongs to her. What qualifications does Tao Niang have to act like the mistress of the mansion and interfere in other people's affairs?
Jiang Shaowen realized belatedly that Jiang Wan was a little angry, and Tao Niang stood there feeling very uncomfortable.
Looking at him with eyes full of grievance, Jiang Shaowen hurriedly explained.
"Wanwan, I noticed that you were not in the mansion, and you took Qiu Niang with you, so I felt that there was no one in charge of the mansion.
I will be returning to Kyoto with Tao Niang and Ping An in two days, and I won’t stay here for long…”
"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, I just want to make the return banquet more decent."
Tao Niang wiped the corners of her eyes apologetically, and Qiu Niang frowned at her, "The girl is already married.
You should call her Princess, not to mention that you are married to the master, even if the Princess's mother were here, she would be respectful to her. "
This is the truth. Jiang Wan is not only a princess listed in the royal jade book, but also the regent princess.
If the relationship between mother and daughter is not good, they should indeed respect the one with a higher position.
"My Lady Princess, it's all Tao Niang's fault."
Tao Niang clenched her hands in her sleeves into fists and said, "I shouldn't make decisions on my own."
Jiang Shaowen wanted to explain, "Wanwan, it's not her fault..."
"Okay."
Jiang Wan interrupted Jiang Shaowen and asked, "When do you decide to leave?"
Out of sight, out of mind. Jiang Wan wished they would leave quickly.
As for Tao Niang, when she returns to Kyoto, those wives of officials will teach her how to behave.
"tomorrow."
Jiang Shaowen looked at Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan expectantly, "You can stay overnight.
We are leaving tomorrow, Wanwan, Daddy wants to spend more time with you."
After all, he couldn't bear to leave Jiang Wan, but Wanwan was prejudiced against Tao Niang, and they couldn't live together.
He didn't want to wrong anyone, so this was the only way.
