Chapter 71 Request for a Business Card
When Xiao Yuan slammed the table, Qiu Er was so scared that he knelt upright again. He didn't know what temper this master had got into and he didn't even dare to say a word.
Especially when Xiao Yuan looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to eat him, the smugness he had just felt instantly gone, and he was already drafting a will in his mind.
Just when Qiu Er thought Xiao Yuan was going to strangle him to death in the next second, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Douzi reported that someone from the mansion had come to see the governor, and finally Xiao Yuan regained his sanity.
Looking at Qiu Er, who was lying on the ground like a pile of mud, Xiao Yuan snorted in disdain.
"Throw this guy back to jail and let the people from the mansion in."
Xiao Douzi agreed and quickly asked the two of them to take Qiu Er away. Before leaving, he did not forget to whisper in his ear not to reveal a word or he would cut off his tongue.
Qiu Er felt like he had been pardoned for being taken away at this moment. He nodded and showed his residual shadow, promising that he would not say a word even if his father asked him questions.
Xiao Yuan frowned when he saw the person coming into the mansion. It turned out to be Jiu Yue, who served Jiang Xinyu.
Needless to say, he must be delivering a message for that woman.
Oh, it's like fishing, loose and loose.
I guess he felt that he had been left alone for long enough and it was time to close the net.
Jiu Yue felt nervous when she saw her own supervisor had a gloomy look on his face. It seemed that she had come at a wrong time as the supervisor was unhappy.
Xiaodouzi is really something. She knew that the governor was in a bad mood at the moment but she didn't remind her.
But she was already here, so there was no way to hide, so I had to bite the bullet and salute her.
"Hello, my Lord. My Lady sent me to ask you when you will be back home.
Madam said, Madam said she missed you."
After saying this, Jiu Yue couldn't help but blush. In fact, the lady said a few more disgusting words, but as a grown girl, she really couldn't say them out loud.
I thought the governor would be in a better mood after saying this, after all, everyone could see that the governor liked his wife very much.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuan smiled coldly, "She is so happy jumping around and playing every day, but she actually has the mind to remember me, the governor. It's really hard for her.
What else was said at the same time? "
Jiu Yue secretly groaned in her heart, wondering if someone had said something bad about the lady in front of the governor.
This doesn't sound right.
The lady did say something else, but Jiu Yue felt that saying it now would only add fuel to the fire and make the governor angry.
Xiao Yuan saw the maid tapping her fingers on the table a few times in doubt, "Have you forgotten who your master is?"
Jiu Yue was startled and quickly reported, "Two days ago, a dumb woman was sent to Minister Jiang's residence. The housekeeper who accompanied her asked to see the governor, but the lady rejected her request.
Today, Madam Liu and the second daughter of the Jiang family came to visit. Madam sent me to ask if it would be convenient for you to take the name card of the Imperial College back with you.
Xiao Yuan was so angry that he laughed.
It's really realistic. If it weren't for this business card, I would have been left alone for two days.
Xiao Yuan had prepared this thing when he came back from Jiang's house that day. He originally wanted to use it to amuse his wife, but now he is a little uninterested.
Xiao Yuan didn't waste any more words. He took it out from the secret compartment and threw it to Jiuyue, then waved his hand to signal her that she could leave.
He could slowly settle the accounts with Jiang Xinyu, but as the governor of Dongchang, he was not going to go back on his word.
Jiu Yue took the business card, bowed, and returned to the Governor's Mansion. On the way, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
I should go back and tell my wife about this. She was so nervous just now that she forgot to ask whether the governor would definitely come back.
It would be a good thing if the Governor's aura doesn't return today. Don't quarrel with your wife just because you are in a bad mood.
Governor's Mansion.
The Liu mother and daughter formed a sharp contrast with Jiang Xinyu.
It was a good coincidence today as Mrs. Wang had already sent the mahjong samples and playing methods back to Jiangnan as quickly as possible.
My workshop in the capital has already started large-scale production, and I come to visit my niece when I have nothing to do.
Jiang Xinyu had no reason to be polite to her aunt. She happened to be interested in making clothes recently, so she took Mrs. Wang to fiddle with the fabrics and chat with her.
The mother and daughter were chatting happily when the doorman reported that Liu and Jiang Wanqiu were coming. Jiang Xinyu pretended to be lazy and let them lead them over.
Her half-sister pretends to be as calm as a chrysanthemum, but in fact she is extremely jealous and can't stand seeing her have anything good.
The fabrics that I'm looking through now are all fine products in Xiao Yuan's warehouse. They're just the right ones to piss her off.
Xiao Yuan hadn't returned home for a few days but he read the news every day. When he learned that Jiang Xinyu was learning to make purses, he thought it was for him. In a good mood, he asked someone to pass the message to the housekeeper.
It was said that all the fine materials appreciated in the palace were sent to the lady for her use.
The steward naturally dared not neglect the order from the governor, so the materials Jiang Xinyu was handling now were all tributes, which a family like the Jiang family would never even see.
In fact, even without these materials, the Liu mother and daughter would have been so jealous that they were unrecognizable.
As they walked along the way, the mother and daughter felt jealous of the house with its small bridges, flowing water, carved beams and painted buildings. They became even more jealous when they thought that such a big house only had two owners, Jiang Xinyu and Xiao Yuan.
Jiang Wanqiu also felt very sad.
She was confident that the husband she would marry in the future would be better than an old eunuch, but she knew that she would never have the leisurely life like Jiang Xinyu.
It is not easy to marry into a wealthy family. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the mansion, you cannot relax for even a moment.
She used to be very proud of Jiang Xinyu's good manners and popularity in the Ningguo Mansion, but now she feels deeply exhausted when she thinks about it.
She has to please everyone and cater to everyone's favorite topics. Everyone says they like her, but no one notices how tired she is.
At that time, she neither hated Jiang Xinyu nor felt jealous of her, envious of her for being able to express her true nature so freely and unrestrainedly.
Her mother always told her that someone like Jiang Xinyu would not have a good ending, and she always comforted herself this way.
But now
She couldn't imagine how comfortable Jiang Xinyu's life was now.
Jiang Wanqiu's depression reached its peak the moment she entered Jiang Xinyu's yard. The colorful, star-speckled fabric on the long table made her eyes hurt.
Jiang Xinyu seemed not to care about the expressions of Liu's mother and daughter. She greeted them casually and continued to pull Mrs. Wang to look at the fabric.
Mrs. Liu had not expected that Mrs. Wang had not returned to Jiangnan yet. She bowed awkwardly and was a little hesitant about whether to explain her purpose.
But then he thought, he had already paid the money and Nanny Yu had also delivered it, so it should be enough for Jiang Xinyu to leave him alone for a few days.
The old man urged her hard because he was afraid that the little bitch would go back on her word. Since she was here today, she had to bring back some accurate information no matter what.
Mrs. Wang didn't know that Jiang Xinyu had asked for a place in the Imperial College for Liu's youngest son. When she heard what Liu said, her face suddenly turned unhappy.
Why is Yu'er so confused?
A place in the Imperial College is such a rare thing.
Not to mention that the Jiang family is not good to her, even if they are good to her, she has to take care of herself first if she wants to help her family.
She has only been married for a few days and she has already made such an excessive request to her husband. If she offends Governor Xiao, how will she live in the future?
At this time, Mrs. Wang didn't know that Jiang Xinyu acted first and then reported to the emperor, and she didn't know that the two of them had quarreled, otherwise she would have burst into tears again.
In fact, Governor Xiao's efforts to get his wife to care about him were probably in the wrong direction. If he just kept this aunt at home, she would complain about him every day.
Maybe you will get unexpected results.
