Chapter 96 The Majesty of the Sixth-rank Lady (2)

Lianxiang said this sentence without any heart, but Qinghe's face turned red. She could not say anything about her private words casually. Even when the couple was together, Qinghe was really laughing and crying by Lianxiang, so she had to spit on her and said, "Look at what nonsense you are talking about, can you say this?"

"There is nothing that cannot be said." Lianxiang said indifferently: "Now we are the master's concubines, so what's the matter with these? Even if that person is here, I dare to say that."

Although Lianxiang did not specify who "that person" was, how could Qinghe not know that what she was talking about was Su Jin, the mistress in the family. But it was easy for everyone around her to say, and it seemed that such a competition for favor was the most difficult thing in the mansion. And if Lianxiang thought about it like this, she might not think about competing for favor anymore.

Unable to say that, Qinghe had to turn around and talk about Su Jin's benefits and said: "Sister must not say this. I think about it carefully these days and feel that the Su sister is indeed a good match for the master. Whether it is family trivial matters or future behavior in the officialdom, she can be a great help to the master."

"Hmph, I just don't like her." Lianxiang said bluntly: "Sister, don't hide it from me. I've already known what happened that day since Xiaoman hadn't said that someone had informed me for a while, Wang Dong wouldn't have guessed that it was the letter you and me who went to pass. Fortunately, I was smart and found Hu Laosan to escort me all the way, otherwise I would have been caught by Wang Dong. Sister, you don't know, Hu Laosan told me on the road that day, saying that there were two groups of people guarding the road, but they were scared away by him."

After Lianxiang said this, she suddenly said, "Hmph, I want me to tell you that she deliberately revealed the news that day, deliberately asked Xiaoman to inform Wang Dong and ask Wang Dong to send someone to catch me."

Qinghe was so devastated by Lian Xiang's words that she said, and quickly covered her mouth and said, "Sister, don't think so much."

"What a random thought, the more I think about it now, the more I feel that the truth is." Lianxiang struggled away Qinghe's hand and said hatefully, "She was afraid that her sister would join forces with me to seize her favor from the master. Otherwise, with the wisdom she showed over the years, how could she accidentally leak the news?"

Qinghe couldn't imagine that Lianxiang was so confused on weekdays, but now she thought of so many things and directly revealed the mystery of the day. In fact, she had already seen these things that day. But now that things have come to this point, so what can she be a weak woman? She can only secretly pray for Lianxiang for peace. Therefore, when Rilianxiang and Hu Laosan appeared, she would be so disobedient after seeing Lianxiang.

So what if you know these things? Although Su Jin is just a fair wife, as long as Tan Zong doesn't marry his wife for one day, she will be the mistress of the Tan family one day. Even if Tan Zong's sister comes, it depends on her face. Compared to the identity of "concubine" between her and Lianxiang, I don't know how noble it is. Even if the two parties are serious about the future, they are afraid that Tan Zong will be able to help each other, which one will be the greatest help to the two women. Otherwise, based on the habits of those wealthy families, which one family will not secretly kill the concubine.

It is precisely because of this that Qinghe has been so careful in this small Tan Mansion, even she dared not show her intelligence at the beginning, almost like a puppet.

However, even though she lived so carefully, Qinghe was unwilling to lose it. Firstly, through observations over the past few days, she found that although Tan Zong's usual behavior was not eye-catching, his words and actions were both good and proper, and he was even more willing to do what he said. It was indeed worth entrusting her and Lianxiang for life. Secondly, although Su Jin did ruthlessly that day, he did not show any closer afterwards, but was relatively humble. Especially on that day, he had a heart-to-heart relationship with Qinghe. Although it was only a little bit, it also relieved Qinghe a lot.

Qinghe was about to talk to Lianxiang in detail to dissipate her dissatisfaction with Su Jin, but unexpectedly, the door was suddenly knocked, and then a childish voice with a thin waist came: "Two ladies, the master calls you, and he wants the third lady to go to the banquet with the master."

Since several women bought the house and found those servants, Su Jin became the eldest lady in order to distinguish between the two characters - usually the big characters are hidden and not posted, only the wife. Lianxiang took the initiative to give the second wife to Qinghe, but she received the third wife's name.

However, the close-fitting maids like Huali Dew Draw still call their master as a lady like before, and they also seem much more friendly, which also reflects the status of several girls in the Tan Mansion. If they can continue to do it, they may not be able to be a maid in the future. If they are pregnant, they can still be a concubine.

This is undoubtedly a direct jump on the Golden Branch for thin waists. After all, Tan Zong is a serious sixth-grade guerrilla identity at this moment, so the word Golden Branch is not wrong. As for Xiaoman, he rejected Su Jin's money and moved to the inn where Tan Zong lived first, but he still couldn't go there, as if he was still thinking about entering the Tan Mansion. He would talk here without mentioning it.

After hearing the news, Lianxiang remembered Qinghe's instructions. She was not allowed to go for a while, and she was unwilling to accept it if she didn't go. She looked at Qinghe with resentment on her face, making Qinghe laugh and cry.

"I didn't say you were not allowed to go." Qinghe hugged the woman who likes to show off into her arms, and she was doting on Lianxiang as if she was a child: "Now the situation in Nanjing is very chaotic. Since you insist on going to a banquet with the master, you must remember not to cause trouble for the master. Those merchants who can make the industry bigger must not be easy. If you provoke me, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the master's plan."

"Sister, you have said this once." Lianxiang looked helpless when she heard it, and seemed to be cautious like this. What's the point of going there? It's better to rest at home.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you anxious?" Qinghe viciously gave the woman who put all her thoughts on her face, making the woman scream in pain.

"If you really want to show off your power, remember to tell the master first." Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "I think there is no good banquet tonight, so there will be someone who will be a red face and some who will be a white face. So you can tell the master on the road later that you can be a good person, and you will be that evil person. Not only will you be a good person, but you will be the evil person. Not only will you be the master's identity and you will have a wish, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Lianxiang was immediately moved by Qinghe, and quickly got out of the bed with excitement. She didn't even have time to talk to Qinghe anymore, so she ran back to the room to change her clothes.

"This woman is so crazy and stupid. I've told the master about this." Qinghe looked at Lian Xiang running away with helpless look on her face, and then walked towards the front hall.

The wheels were rolling, and two four-wheeled carriages with the size of the Xu family were walking slowly on the road. The black carriages were pulled by two horses. The coachman skillfully waved his whip and made a thunderous sound in the sky. Unfortunately, it was the meal time now, and there were many carriages on the road. Although it was not crowded, it also made you unable to get up. You could only follow the convoy so slowly.

Xu Wenchang sat in the car in front. There was no one in the car, but he just laid a layer of good velvet blanket on the ground. The velvet blanket was made of good cashmere wool from the Western Regions. It was first treated with a secret method to remove the fishy smell of wool. Then it was woven by the purest Western Regions girl. During this period, she had to complete her daily life and diet - and only drink fruits and water. Therefore, when finished, the velvet blanket will leave the girl's body fragrance and will not dissipate for a long time.

Therefore, the seller of this velvet blanket is very high, just like the velvet blanket with a size of more than a square meter on the Xu family's carriage, which costs nearly a hundred taels of silver.

But even so, this thing is in short supply in Jiangnan, and it is often in short supply. Some shrewd Western merchants have even begun to hire women who have given birth to children to do it regardless of the rules, and deliberately smoke some fragrance on it to do business with fake and real profits. Just like this piece on the Xu family's carriage, it is a high-quality imitation that the old man of the Xu family spent thirty taels of silver to buy.

It was the first time Xu Wenchang took this car, and he didn't have the treatment on weekdays. But now he was completely out of the excitement he had when he came, and only the regret he had received from the Tan family. Fortunately, no matter what, he finally continued this trip, which was enough to fulfill his father's order, at least he didn't have to worry about his monthly money being deducted in the future.

Tan Zong sat in the carriage behind. Although the carriage was also from the Xu family, it was just the most ordinary one. It had no decoration or mechanism. Except for the doors with small glass on both sides, the entire carriage seemed to be a flat panel, which made Tan Zong feel bored when he saw it.

Just now, he was sharp-eyed, but when Xu Wen got on the carriage, he saw the difference in the carriage, and he felt in mind, and wanted to wait for Xu Wen to make a fool of himself: this little fat man actually took the good carriage himself, but left this ordinary one to Tan Zong, an extremely noble guest. It would be really abnormal if he didn't beat and scold him when he arrived at the place.

Lianxiang leaned on Tan Zong with a little happiness. Just now, she mentioned the matter with Tan Zong. After Qinghe reminded him in advance, he naturally agreed. Moreover, as Qinghe said, the banquet seemed to be the merchants from Nanjing who came to worship the wharf, but what they really asked for was the face of the King An behind Tan Zong, who Tan Zong was just a messenger.

With the strong performance of Nanjing merchants, it is impossible to bow their heads to Tan Zong directly, so Tan Zong is sure that there will be a fight tonight. However, the rest of Tan Zong is not afraid, but Lian Xiang is a weakness around him. With Lian Xiang's former identity, it is almost certain that he has lived with these merchants in Nanjing before they became famous.
