Viewing the House

When Jiang Sheng left Jiang Xian and returned to Yusheng Courtyard, Shanzhi Shanna had already seen her scratched sleeves, and now she had some time to spare, so she hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Jiang Sheng briefly told the two of them what happened in the palace, omitting the fact that tea with medicinal powder was poured on his sleeves.

Shannai shouted that it was very dangerous.

"My maid is just afraid that someone will bully the girl. She didn't expect to go to a palace banquet, and there is such a dangerous thing."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "It's not that serious. No one was hurt."

Shan Nai still curled his lips: "How can a big insect be released at a banquet with women?"

Shan Zhi patted Shan Nai's arm gently: "Okay, it's nothing serious. The girl is really working hard today, so don't yell here."

"Hurry and get water and wait for the girl to fall asleep."

"Oh." Shanna stuck out his tongue and called the little girl to fetch water.

After Jiang Sheng washed up, he lay on the bed.

Shan Nai walked towards the door, and while closing the carved wooden door, he said to Jiang Sheng, "Sister Shan Zhi didn't sleep well yesterday. I'll be keeping vigil in the wing today. If the girl needs something, call me."

Jiang Sheng turned sideways: "I'm fine, you should rest early."

Shan Zhi responded: "Girl, please rest early."

As the wooden door was closed, Jiang Sheng raised his body slightly and blew out the candlestick next to the bed, and the surrounding area fell into darkness for an instant.

…

The imperial edict granting Lord Liu a residence to Jiang Sheng came in the evening of the next day.

Jiang Sheng accepted the imperial edict and seemed to understand a little bit why the house slaves in front of the book were trying their best to buy a house and get the real estate certificate.

What a sense of security!

She had only seen the outside of the house and knew that it occupied a large area. After some inquiring, she learned about the things behind the house. Although she was a little envious, she didn't take it to heart.

After the imperial edict came down, Jiang Sheng went to the house to take a look.

The inside was really more beautiful than she expected, and it had the style of a Suzhou garden.

Someone was already cleaning the house. The emperor probably felt that the house had been given to her anyway and there was no shortage of those servants, so he gave it to Jiang Sheng together.

Shan Nai covered her lips and smiled and said: "Girl, it's not a bad idea to go to the palace. You can get such a big house."

How much monthly silver is this worth?

Shan Zhi looked at Shan Nai angrily: "Don't look at the girl who was almost attacked by a big insect."

"That's true." Shanna nodded in agreement.

It sounds dangerous.

If it weren't for ordinary people not to mention the emperor's faults, Shanna really wanted to complain about the emperor.

Jiang Sheng explained things to the housekeeper left by the emperor in the house. Hearing this, he tilted his head and said with a smile: "How about I sell this house, buy a few small units, and we share a share?"

"It just so happens that I think the house is so big and relatively deserted."

"Young lady," Shan Zhi said, "How can you buy and sell what your Majesty gave you at will?"

Jiang Sheng curled her lips.

She must find a way to sell it before the male protagonist Xiao Huaijing overthrows the current emperor.

Jiang Sheng thought for a while, then turned around and told the nanny in charge, "That's all for now. Don't touch other things. You can go ahead and give the order. I will come over and take a look when I have time."

The stewardess saluted: "Girl, please don't worry, just leave it to the slave."

Jiang Sheng nodded and left with Shan Zhi and Shan Nai.

When she arrived at the Hou Mansion, before she could return to Yusheng Courtyard, she was taken to the living room by the girl guarding the door.

Qiao Zhi, who was wearing a goose-yellow coat and a crepe skirt with bamboo and green flowers, sat in a high chair with one arm on the table. In front of the table, Mrs. Hou sat talking to Qiao Zhi.

"Madam, Miss Qiao, the girl is back."

Hearing the girl's voice, Qiao Zhi turned his head, the hibiscus tassels on his bun swaying slightly: "Shengsheng!"

"You are back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Qiao Zhi stood up with her skirt in hand and walked to Jiang Sheng to look her over: "I was taken away by my mother at the palace banquet yesterday. Fortunately, my aunt sent someone to tell me that you were okay, so I felt a little relieved."

"I'm fine."

Jiang Sheng could roughly guess what.

Qiao Zhi's mother, who is also the nominal aunt Chen, has always disliked Mrs. Hou. She felt that Mrs. Hou always returned to her natal family as a married woman, and that whatever good things her mother-in-law had, she hid for Mrs. Hou.

Furthermore, Mrs. Chen naturally didn't like the way the original owner always sought favors in front of Qiao's grandmother.

So of course this aunt would drag Qiao Zhi away early to prevent her ignorant daughter from going to the emperor just to seek justice for Jiang Sheng.

Mrs. Hou asked: "Didn't we just say we were going to see the house? Why did it take so long?"

"Maybe I was walking slowly and took some time." Jiang Sheng replied.

Mrs. Hou smiled and said: "Xiao Zhi was afraid that you would be frightened, so she came here to see you. Now that you are back, just take her back to your yard to talk about yourself."

She covered her lips and yawned: "You two sisters have a good chat, so that I, the older one, will not offend you."

Qiao Zhi acted coquettishly: "Auntie is teasing us again, you are so young and so beautiful, how can you be annoying to others? If you really are annoying to someone, then that person must have no vision."

"Let me tell you, it's not that my aunt is being disliked." Qiao Zhi stuck out her tongue and talked, "It's that my aunt wants to rest and thinks we are disturbing you."

Mrs. Hou scolded her: "How can my aunt dislike you? Xiaozhi's mouth is really good at talking, and it's like it's been smeared with honey. She even gives dates to people when she teases them. It's not right for people to say it, and it's not like they like it..."

"I just wish you were not my biological daughter, otherwise I would have been enjoying myself in a sugar bowl all day long."

Qiao Zhi said with a smile, "They all talk about niece Xiao Gu, what difference does it make whether I am your biological child or not?"

Mrs. Hou was coaxed into laughing by Qiao Zhi, and said with disgust: "Okay, okay, you guys should go back to the courtyard quickly, don't make trouble for me here."

"Old lady, I'm going to take a nap."

Qiao Zhi smiled and pulled Jiang Sheng: "Then let's go?"

"Go ahead."

Qiao Zhi walked to the door and turned around and said, "My aunt is not old. If I can be like my aunt when I grow up, I will be so happy."

Mrs. Hou smiled: "Go quickly, go quickly."

She watched the two people leave lovingly.

Mrs. Hou knew that her eldest sister-in-law was not warm to her.

It's just that she is the one being pampered, so naturally she won't think too much or care whether her sister-in-law likes her or not.

Qiao Zhi is sweet-tongued and cheerful, so she has no reason to dislike her own niece.

On the way back to Yusheng Courtyard, Qiao Zhi tilted his head and asked Jiang Sheng, "Are you scared by the white tiger? Did you have any nightmares last night?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head.

When passing by an outer courtyard, they happened to see Jiang Xian's back.

Qiao Zhi curled his lips: "What did she go out for again? She stayed away from home every day. I really don't understand why she returned to the Marquis Mansion."

In the distance, Jiang Xian was wearing casual clothes and a bamboo hat. Her dark green hair was held up with only a hairpin. She was simple and refreshing. At first glance, she was going out to do errands.

Jiang Sheng thought for a moment.

She couldn't remember the plot of the original book clearly, or the book didn't have enough details to record Jiang Xian's behavior every day, and she didn't know what Jiang Xian was doing during his trip.

Qiao Zhi patted Jiang Sheng: "Sheng Sheng?"

"Um?"

Qiao Zhi said: "Why are you in a daze?"

"without."
