Chapter 52 Two Concubines Fighting Each Other
After serving tea to his concubine, Xing Dairong came out of Lu Lingyun's yard.
Lu Lingyun rewarded her with many gifts and also gave her a red envelope as a concubine, which contained twenty taels of silver.
She has now been successfully promoted to Aunt Xing.
"Aunt Xing, go slower." Qiu Kui followed her carrying things.
"Don't call me aunt!"
Xing Dairong felt uncomfortable when she heard the title "Auntie Xing".
After all, she still has a bit of modern pride in her bones, and now she has fallen to the point of becoming a concubine, which is really unbearable to hear.
"Hey, isn't this Aunt Xing?"
At this moment, a familiar eerie voice was heard.
Qiu Ling walked over with a charming manner.
Seeing her, Xing Dairong was furious, "Let's go."
"Madam Xing, why are you in such a hurry? Now you and I are both aunts in the mansion. We will be sisters in the future."
Xing Dairong was so angry that he was about to die.
Qiu Ling was born to be her nemesis.
She no longer has any conflict of interest with Lu Lingjun, because no matter how unwilling she is, she can never compare herself with Lu Lingjun, but Qiu Ling is the onion!
She was always sarcastic with her and used green tea tactics against her time and again. If she didn't defeat Qiu Ling, she would be unworthy of being a time traveler.
She stopped and said with suppressed anger, "Aunt Qiu, what's wrong with you?"
"Of course I came to congratulate Aunt Xing. Aunt Xing just offered tea. Did she get a lot of things?"
Xing Dairong's eyes turned, and she immediately called Qiu Kui and the maid who were carrying things behind her to come forward, "Oh, it's not much. The young lady gave me three batches of the best silks, as well as ginseng, deer antlers, oh, oh, oh, I almost forgot, there is also this box of jewelry, how can there be so much, how can I wear them all!"
Xing Dairong imitated Qiu Ling's tone and opened the jewelry box that Lu Lingyun gave her as a reward in front of her. The jewelry box was filled with colorful gold and silver items.
Qiu Ling's eyes widened.
Qiu Ling only has a few decent pieces of jewelry until now. The concubines in the mansion have their share, and they can only buy one piece of jewelry a year. The rest are waiting for rewards from the master.
Qiu Ling was a house-born girl, and she did not bring any dowry from her parents' home. Up to now, she only had a few scattered items, and the only ones that made her look presentable were the gold hairpins and large gold bracelets that she wore every day.
Where have I seen so many jewellery?
Seeing Qiu Ling like that, Xing Dairong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, sister, you served tea earlier than me, the mistress must have given you more."
Xing Dairong was sure about Qiu Ling. She only wore the same few kinds of headgear every day, so she must be extremely poor. This would make her very angry!
Qiu Ling was so irritated that her eyes turned red. She said angrily, "How can I compare with Aunt Xing? Aunt Xing is pregnant with the treasure of the Marquisate. Even if the mistress doesn't love the older one, she has to love the younger one."
What she meant was that Xing Dairong used her son to get to the top, and Lu Lingyun gave her so many good things because she was pregnant.
It was also an opportunity to criticize Xing Dairong for getting pregnant before she was officially married.
If it were in the past, Xing Dairong would have had a fight with her, but now, haha!
"Alas, who told me to be so angry? I remember that the prince was the first to have sex with you, and you didn't seize such a good opportunity. You should think carefully about whether you are not capable enough."
Xing Dairong said this while sticking out her not-yet-revealed belly, looking extremely proud.
Qiu Ling: “…”
"Chun Xing, let's go!"
Qiu Ling lost this round.
Qiu Ling angrily took people to Lu Lingyun's yard.
Xing Dairong, who had won a rare game, felt relaxed all over. She looked at Qiu Ling's back as she complained, and said, "Hmph!"
Let her wait.
She can't beat Lu Lingyun, but she can't beat her?
Since she has become a concubine, she must be the most favored concubine in the mansion. Maybe if she gives birth to Cheng Yunshuo's first son in the future, she will have hope of climbing up again!
"Okra, let's go!"
She has to muster up all her strength to take down Cheng Yunshuo again!
In the main courtyard.
Lu Lingyun listened to Qiu Ling crying and complaining about her grievances. She counted the accounts and comforted her whenever she had time.
By the time the accounts for this period were checked, Qiu Ling had finished crying.
"Okay, I'll give you two pieces of cloth later so you can buy some winter clothes." Lu Lingyun put down the abacus beads and soothed her.
Hearing about the reward, Qiu Ling sobbed, "Young Madam, I just can't stand seeing her like that."
"Madame Xing is now also a madam in the mansion. You two are sisters. You should get along well with each other in the future. Besides, she is pregnant. You should be more tolerant of her. I know all your grievances."
Lu Lingyun looked at her with a smile, "The new jewelry in the treasury has not arrived this winter. When it comes, choose your first one and I will give you another one."
Qiu Ling was given another piece of jewelry. How could she not be interested? "Thank you, Madam. Now that I know that you love me, I will not feel wronged."
Lu Lingjun smiled when she heard this, wiped her tears soothingly, exchanged a few words with her, and then sent her back.
She looked at Qiu Ling who was bringing the things back and smiled leisurely.
She gave Qiu Ling the reward to soothe her emotions and balance the relationship between her and Xing Dairong.
Even though Xing Dairong had done a lot of bad things in the past, she now has a son, so she is important.
But there are only two concubines in the mansion, and she can't let Xing Dairong bully her and suppress her. She has to show that she favors Qiu Ling, so that she can still be on equal footing with Xing Dairong.
Secondly, he was trying to find ways to warn her. No matter what, she must not do anything to Xing Dairong.
She can solve any grievances she has, and she will not be short of clothes or jewelry. If you take something with other intentions, you deserve to be killed.
After resolving the small dispute between the two, Lu Lingyun stretched his back and asked, "Anything else?"
"Oh, by the way, Madam, Miss Wang sent someone to tell me that a new troupe of opera singers has arrived on West Street. The operas they sing are very novel. If you have time, please go and have a look."
Lu Lingyun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to call back."
night.
Cheng Yunshuo's duty ended.
Ever since he became a member of the Jinwu Guard, he has been getting more and more adept at this job.
In the past, Cheng Yunshuo was lazy about his duties and spent several years hanging out with a few friends, looking down on those who worked diligently.
But for some reason, perhaps because he was getting older and started doing some serious work, Cheng Yunshuo suddenly began to enjoy being on duty.
This job is getting easier and easier.
Gradually, I am making more progress.
He had just dealt with a bunch of sneaky things today and won the favor of his boss, who said he would promote him. Cheng Yunshuo walked back home with brisk steps.
As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he ran into Xing Dairong who was waiting in the cold wind.
"Yun Shuo!"
When Xing Dairong saw him appear, he spoke a sentence of eighteen syllables and flew towards him like a butterfly.
Cheng Yunshuo's face immediately turned cold, "Stop!"
