Chapter 76: The Trendy Jiaofang Secretary
"Master Yang said you wanted to bite him!"
Jiang Chen looked at the stunningly beautiful Liu Mingjie and replied with a smirk on his face.
"Ah? It's obviously you..."
Liu Mingjie raised his eyebrows and rushed forward with a fierce look on his face.
However, when she saw Jiang Chen handing over a jade pendant, she was suddenly stunned. After taking it, she asked in surprise:
"Isn't this the jade pendant Mr. Yang is wearing today? How come it is in my cousin's hands? Could it be...that Mr. Yang gave it to me?"
After saying that, Liu Mingjie stared at Jiang Chen with bright eyes.
"Um!"
Jiang Chen nodded lightly, looked at the jade pendant he asked Yang Jian for in the palace and said:
"Master Yang said that you don't know how to bark like a dog, and it's even more unruly for a woman to show herself to others without permission. But since you are willing to bark like a dog, he will give you a chance, and you will grow up in a year or two.
, he will lead you into the palace."
"Really? Thank you, cousin! You must thank Mr. Yang on my behalf.
By the way, cousin, how about you lend me some money and I can buy a gift to repay Mr. Yang? This jade pendant looks so expensive, it would be too embarrassing to take it for nothing!"
As Liu Mingjie spoke, he looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.
"This jade pendant is worth five thousand guan. Do you think I can get that much money?" Jiang Chen asked angrily.
"My father said that you moved two to three thousand guan of minister's money home in just a few days when you went to the Yamen. Wouldn't it be great if you moved more money back later?"
Liu Mingjie looked confident and confident as he spoke, raising his chin proudly and saying:
"In a year or two, I will enter the palace and become a noble. I will pay you back double the amount I borrow from you today! Are you still afraid that my dignified noble-to-be will default on your debt? Humph!"
Well--
The corners of Jiang Chen's eyes twitched, he stretched out a pair of big hands and pinched Liu Mingjie's arrogant little face, and said with a vicious look on his face: "Next time you dare to talk to Brother Wei with this attitude, don't expect Brother Wei to help you anymore.
You have entered the palace!"
After that, he touched his nose and left with a long aftertaste.
Well……
Liu Mingjie rubbed his sore face and muttered in a low voice: "Then why don't you borrow it? How dare you pinch the face of a noble person like me? You are so bold! When I become a noble person, I will give you to you.
Pinch it back!"
"hehe!"
Jiang Chen didn't want to talk to this unfortunate child, and even felt that asking Yang Jian to get the jade pendant back to appease her young heart was a wrong decision.
…
After arriving at the west courtyard of the front house, Jiang Chen saw that Yang Bangyi, Liu Yuancheng and Cui Old Man were still busy working with sweat, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
After saying hello, he told Liu Yuancheng: "Yuancheng, ask Mrs. Wu to slaughter four sheep, cook more good dishes, and set up a banquet in the atrium in the evening so that everyone in the house can have a good meal and get to know each other."
!”
"okay."
Liu Yuancheng agreed and ran to the kitchen.
But Yang Bangyi, Cui Laohan and Cui Niannu were all stunned: Eat mutton? Can a servant in this house eat meat? And it is close to a pound of mutton?
The three of them were looking forward to it and in disbelief.
However, when they came to the atrium to sit down during dinner time, the three of them were stunned when they saw a table full of mutton and gold-ripple jade liquid that was as clear as water, like nectar from the world!
In their original thinking, even if there was meat, it would only be one or two pieces per person, but the table between the three of them and Pan Shun was not just one or two pieces of meat, but a whole sheep!
How much does this cost?
Is it for us to eat?
Yang Bangyi, Cui Laohan and Cui Niannu couldn't believe the facts in front of them.
However, the plump and cute Lady Wu and Huniu were not formal. After helping to arrange the dishes, Lady Wu first smiled at Jiang Chen and asked, "Master, are there any happy events you want to announce today?"
"Um!"
Jiang Chen nodded, looked around at the sixteen family members in the atrium and said, "Everyone sitting here may have met by chance, or they may be brothers. Different from the servants I bought, in my eyes, they are all my own family members.
So, today, first of all, I want everyone to get to know each other and meet my newly adopted sister-in-law, Song Zhaodi, who is also the third cousin in our family."
As he spoke, he nodded to Song Zhaodi with a smile, and then continued:
"The second is to review the rules of our Jiang Mansion. First of all, we must be clean and not drink raw water;
Secondly, latecomers are not counted. From now on, you locals can just call me Young Master or Brother Chen, and there is no need to call me Master;
The third point is that any female family member of the back house is not allowed to enter the front hall without permission. If anyone dares to make fun of the reputation of the female family members next time, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen gave Liu Mingjie a stern look.???
Liu Mingjie's face turned red with embarrassment, he lowered his head and pouted, "I won't dare to do it next time."
"I hope so!"
As Jiang Chen spoke, he glanced at his guilty cousin and aunt, put on a smile and said, "Okay, good things will come next!
Today, thanks to the grace of the officials, I was born with the same background as a Jinshi, and was transferred from being a young eunuch to being a editor in Youwen Palace. Therefore, each of us was rewarded with ten guan! Then we can eat and drink!"
"Come! I respect everyone!"
Jiang Chen said as he directly picked up the wine bowl in front of him.
"Congratulations to my husband!"
"Congratulations to my cousin (Brother Chen)!"
"Congratulations, sir!"
Everyone's faces were full of joy and they congratulated each other!
Yang Bangyi, Cui Laohan and Cui Niannu drank the wine they had never tasted before, ate the mutton they had never eaten before, and took the reward money sent by their cousin, their eyes were red.
They all feel that they are not here to be present at all, but to enjoy themselves.
Mrs. Wu and Huniu, who received the reward on the second day after arriving, were even more smiley on their cute fat faces.
He frequently toasted to Liu Yueniang and made pleasant witticisms one after another, making Liu Yueniang and Song Zhaodi laugh so much that they were full of laughter even before they had even had a few bites of girl meat.
Later, at the suggestion of Fourth Aunt Liu and her cousin, Cui Niannu became Liu Yueniang's personal maid like Xiang'er, while Old Cui, who was crying while drinking and eating mutton, became a disciple of the house.
As for Yang Bangyi, who wrote a letter overnight to summon his wife and children to come over to enjoy the blessing, he became the only martial arts guardian in the family, Liu Yuancheng's master!
That night, Jiang Chen asked Song Zhaodi and Liu Yueniang to sleep next to each other to deepen their relationship, while he was busy until midnight and slept directly in the front yard.
…
Early the next morning, he asked his cousin to send a message to Shopkeeper Pan, asking him to contact some merchants who had channels to buy grain in Cochin. Then he brought a cart of Jinbo Yuye mixed with glycerin water to the Jiaofang Division.
While making the final preparations and thinking about how to deal with Cai Jing's dirty tricks, I was busy until dark before I knew it.
Then Wang Mian and Wang Zhongke looked gloomy, Kong Duancao and Wang Fu looked sneered, Zhang Hongwen and Wang Wenhan looked complicated, Chen Cisheng looked upright, Gong Fu...
Chapter completed!
