Chapter 398 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (20)
Now that she saw Tie Yi with her own eyes and Jiang Lai's current state, Jiang Yu realized that Xu Ruling had been lying to her from beginning to end.
What seemed vulgar and cold-blooded now appears to be tall, mighty and affectionate.
Xu Ruling was worried that she would snatch away all Tie Yi's favor after marrying in, leaving her no place to stand, so she kept talking bad things about Tie Yi in her ears.
Jiang Yu felt shameless in her heart but remained gentle and calm on her face.
"You and I are just not destined to be together. You and Jiang Lai can get along well."
"With her? Forget it, I really regret agreeing to marry her in!"
Promise...
Who Tie Yi marries depends on whether Xu Ruling agrees or not?
Jiang Yu sneered in her heart.
No wonder Jiang Lai was chosen in the end, and a woman who was not a threat to him was chosen to enter the house. Although she was the wife in name, the reality was still at her discretion.
Logically speaking, this general's residence would indeed be a comfortable place without Xu Ruling. The only old lady rarely showed up. As a general, Tie Yi, a high-ranking official and well-paid, has a bright future, and now it seems that Jiang Lai is somewhat favored. If it were her...
Jiang Yu couldn't help but think about what the situation would be like now if she had married in.
The situation must be that Tie Yi will definitely help the Hou Mansion tide over the difficulties for her sake, and will give her more love and tolerance...
"Sister Yu, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Yu came back to her senses, feeling a little tight in her heart.
"It's nothing, you said regret? Why regret? I think her relationship with the general is quite good."
Xu Ruling sneered.
"Okay? Forget it. The general hasn't returned home for more than ten days. He just dealt with it for Jiang Lai. Even though Jiang Lai is living a good life with fine clothes and fine food, he still has a lot of blood secretly. Where are the tears?
If she is married to a man who doesn't like her, look, she won't last long. ”
Jiang Yu raised her eyes, with a faint look in her eyes.
"Jiang Lai is my sister after all. She wanted to marry into a high family and live a good life. Now she has got her wish. However, she has the same temperament as her mother. She used to be a concubine in the Hou family, but now she is a wife. It must be majestic and majestic.
I may have wronged you, but Jiang Lai has no bad intentions, as long as you don't compete with her to manage the internal affairs. ”
After hearing this, Xu Ruling became even more disgusted with Jiang Lai. She thought she was a good concubine, but unexpectedly she turned out to be a coquettish woman who was good at seducing men!
"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. What do you need so much money for?"
"Both my parents are sick and need medicinal soup every day. The servants in the house have not received money for a long time. I also have a younger brother who is studying in school and also needs money."
< br>
When had Xu Ruling ever been so majestic in front of Jiang Yu? Before, she was the most inconspicuous foil around Jiang Yu, but now things have changed, and she has fallen into such a state of desolation.
"Okay, I'll get you the money right now."
"Thank you, I will return it to you as soon as possible."
Xu Ruling smiled.
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to use the money."
She was not worried that Jiang Yu would not pay back the money. After all, her reputation was on display here. The most noble and talented woman in the capital would not give up her reputation for this little money.
Jiang Yu took the money and got on the carriage. She was so depressed that she could hardly breathe. It felt like a big stone was falling hard in her heart.
The Hou Mansion is far more depressed than she said. Now they only have one Marquis Mansion left. The money for the medicine of the Marquis and Mrs. Hou has long been gone. As for the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion, the husband is interested in him and the Hou Mansion. I asked him to continue reading because of his friendship.
After getting the money, Jiang Yu immediately went to the largest fabric workshop in the capital. When she arrived, she saw that the materials she chose were still there, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Jiang, you are here. Do you want this piece of material? Many noble people want it. I thought you decided on it first, so I have kept it for you."
Jiang Yu looked at the luxurious fabric in front of her and said without hesitation.
"I want it."
"Miss Jiang is still generous! Come on, let me measure your figure first. What do you want it to look like?"
Jiang Yu gave her a drawing.
"Follow this and I'll pick it up within seven days."
"No problem, what do you need to decorate the waist of this dress? We have mother-of-pearl, jade, and..."
Jiang Yu shook her head and didn't wait for her to finish.
"Use rubies."
"Hey, this is expensive. If you sit down in a set of clothes, it will cost more than two thousand taels."
A piece of clothing costs more than 2,000 taels, and only the queen can receive this kind of treatment.
Jiang Yu has made up her mind.
"Money is not a problem, just do as I ask."
Three thousand taels went directly to 2,500 taels, and with the remaining five hundred taels, Jiang Yu went to the jewelry store and picked out a set of ruby jewelry for herself that matched her clothes.
After doing this, she did not go back home, but went directly to the Huafang behind Mingyue Tower.
She didn't want to go back to face the depressed and failed home, where she could get a moment of peace.
The literati on the third floor have all heard of Jiang Yu's name, and they also know that she has been the only woman on the third floor for a long time.
The eighth prince is not here today, but the place where he usually sits is replaced by a man.
Seen from a distance, the man's face is as graceful as a crown jewel, and a touch of lake blue on his forehead makes his face more delicate and fair.
Jiang Yu's heart palpitated, and she recognized the man by the window at a glance. He was the sixth prince who had had a close relationship in the palace. He was the same mother as the eighth prince. He was His Majesty's favorite son and currently held the position of crown prince. When he was free, everyone in the court said that he was the best candidate for the crown prince.
I never expected that I would see the Sixth Prince just by sitting around.
But from the glance he just glanced over, Jiang Yu guessed that he might have already forgotten about her.
In this case, Jiang Yu walked over without looking away, sat down next to him, and drank tea while looking at the poetry collection that had just been released some time ago.
Every move of the Sixth Prince next to him caught Jiang Yu's attention. Seeing the tea in front of her becoming cold, there was no chance for the Eighth Prince to perform without asking questions today.
At this time Jiang Yu noticed Qin in front of her.
Soon, the melodious and melodious sound of the piano came from the boat. Everyone looked over and couldn't help but be intoxicated.
When the sound of the piano stopped, Jiang Yu slowly raised her eyes, seemingly looking at the scenery outside the window accidentally. At this time, she noticed that the Sixth Prince was looking at her.
"A girl from the Hou Mansion?"
The man spoke, his voice was gentle and sweet, like jade stones touching each other.
Jiang Yu slowly turned her head and said calmly.
"Master, do you know me?"
"Miss Hou Fujiang, I don't know you, but I am reading your article."
Jiang Yu felt happy, but her face became more steady.
"I have written so many articles, I wonder which one you are reading."
"I've read them all, and I don't really like most of them, which are sad for spring and autumn. But I like this one very much, "Ci of the Wind and Moon."
Jiang Yu's smile disappeared from the corner of her mouth. "Feng Yue Ci"?
