Chapter 154

After lunch, Qin wanted to keep Mrs. Qiao and Jiang to play cards together.

Thinking of Jiang Wan's posture of killing all sides when she returned to the door last time, Jiang's family wanted to take a lunch break on the pretext of dizziness, while Mrs. Qiao took Jiang Yan back to cat's ear alley on the pretext that she still had something to do at home.

The Qin family couldn't make a card game. After they sent the crowd, they went back to the house to have a rest.

Jiang Wan, who was so idle, decided to go to the West Wing room to sit down.

Thinking of Zhao suniang's nanci room, which can't accommodate several people, Jiang Wan sent Dingxiang to clean up the room in Qingxin Pavilion first, and then asked Xia Yi to stay in the yard of Junya hall and wait for him. He lifted the bamboo curtain and went into the west chamber alone.

As usual, Zhao Su Niang, who was wearing a plain dress, came out with a quiet face. Even Jiang Wan felt comfortable when she saw it.

Caiqing, who had been sitting on the Kang with her head bent down to embroider, saw it and rushed to work

After smiling and greeting Jiang Wan, he lifted the bamboo curtain and went out to make tea.

Jiang Wan looked into the room and saw that there was a large camphor wooden box half a person high in the room. From the open box, it was full of embroidered pieces of various colors.

And in the room, it seems that there is a Chinese medicine flavor.

Jiang Wan looked at Zhao Su Niang and found that she was slightly more tired than before.

Jiang Wan didn't say anything. He just sat on the Kang and picked up a piece of semi-finished embroidery beside him with a smile. He joked: "do you want to be a housewife? How can you accept so much embroidery? "

Zhao Su Niang didn't answer Jiang Wan's words, but she just had some helpless smile, but quietly received the piece of embroidery on Jiang Wan's hand into the big camphor box, and carefully covered the box.

"What? Did she really cut you off? " Looking at Zhao Su Niang's face, Jiang Wan grabbed her and asked.

"Don't you know better than I do what kind of temperament your wife is?" Zhao Su Niang sighed and sat down beside Jiang Wan

You always have to find the wrong person when you have nothing to do. How can you let me go when you catch me

"According to you, how can my wife acquiesce that you are working outside?" Jiang Wan once again glanced at the camphor wood box.

"It's tacit." Zhao Su Niang expected Ai Ai's reply, obviously no longer want to continue this topic.

At the moment, Caiqing just came in with a pot of freshly brewed tea. She put the teapot and cup on the Kang Table and looked at Zhao Su Niang with a puzzled look on her face. She said: "aunt, it's not easy for the lady to come back. You can also meet someone who can talk. Why don't you tell her grievances..."

"Caiqing!" Without waiting for Caiqing to finish his speech, Zhao Su Niang yelled, "you're talking too much today, aren't you?"

There was a faint anger on her face.

Although Jiang Wan was surprised, he looked at them with a dull face. Unexpectedly, Caiqing knelt down in front of him without warning.

"I know my aunt is impatient, and I'm talking to my wife,

But today, Caiqing has to go beyond this one. " Caiqing knelt down and looked at Jiang Wan stubbornly. "My wife not only embezzled my aunt's usual food and clothing, but also asked us to pay our own money to go to the market in the north of the city to buy the oil for lighting every night. However, none of the clothes for the four seasons were found. The food in the kitchen was either cold or sour, which made people unable to swallow it at all..." she said, Caiqing has become choked and silent.

Jiang Wan also turned pale.

Is that too much?

She knew before that Qin was used to writing about this kind of thing, but she didn't expect that she would make it so much worse.

"Does the master know about it?" Jiang Wan frowned at Zhao Su Niang and asked.

"My wife and master said that after the family moved from Zhenjiang to the capital, they had to find ways to economize on all kinds of expenses Caiqing went on kneeling there and said, "the master doesn't know how to deal with common affairs. With just a few words from his wife, he was speechless."

"Well, Caiqing, don't say it." At the moment, Zhao Su Niang is covering her chest and looking at Caiqing with a sad face, "if you want to make me angry, you can continue to say!"

As soon as Caiqing saw Zhao Su Niang's appearance, she jumped up from the ground in fright. She helped Zhao Su Niang and said, "aunt, I won't talk. I won't talk. Don't scare me!"

Jiang Wan found that Zhao Su Niang's face looked abnormal.

She quickly got up, helped Caiqing to support Zhao suniang, and asked, "what's the matter?"

Caiqing helped Zhao suniang along with her anger and explained anxiously to Jiang Wan: "since my wife embezzled the silver in our house, my aunt and I had to take more embroidery work to supplement our daily life. My aunt was so anxious and tired that she fell ill... As a result, a few days ago, it cost a lot of money to see the doctor... "

"Caiqing... Didn't I tell you to stop talking..." Zhao suniang, with a look of pain, leaned against the pillow on the Kang and frowned

All of a sudden, there was a sharp cough.

As soon as Jiang Wan saw that the situation was not right, she winked at Caiqing and comforted Zhao Su Niang: "no, no, Caiqing, you are serving your aunt to have a rest. I'll bother you again next time."

Then she got up.

Caiqing was also a smart man. Seeing this, he said: "I'll send the lady of the imperial concubine."

Jiang Wan nodded with a smile and went out of the west chamber with Caiqing.

Xiayi, who has been waiting in the yard and playing with the little girl Xiangrui, sees Jiang Wan coming out, puts down the rope and follows up.

Jiang Wan chose a secluded place in the courtyard, then looked at Caiqing and asked, "tell me what happened these days carefully."

Caiqing naturally seems to have met with a straw, saying everything: "not only the wife, but also the aunt

Even aunt he's in trouble. She only gave 15 cents for the embroidery she used to charge for two liang silver. "

"And why?" Jiang Wanqi said, "didn't you say that Aunt he liked Su Niang's embroidery?"

"I don't know what happened? When she asked aunt he, she only said that the rent of her shop had gone up again, so she had no choice but to keep the price down. " Caiqing said helplessly, "I advise my aunt to try another hi shop, but my aunt doesn't want to change it. I just can't bear to see my aunt working so hard every day. "

"I know that." Jiang Wan lowered his eyes, then looked at Xia Yi again and said, "do you have money with you?"“ There are some silver coins specially brought out for reward. " Xia Yi said, and took out five or six pieces of silver coins from her clothes.
