The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Hongying's pretty face blushed: "Young lady is really joking, this remark offends slaves."

Jiang Ruan smiled more cordially, Hongying was a witty person, smarter than she imagined, at least she didn't understand how to reject her overtures. She stretched out her hand to hold Hongying: "My words are absolutely true, Wu Yiniang has such a demeanor, no wonder my father loves me very much." She lowered her voice: "Now that I have just returned to Jiang's residence, the affairs in the residence are all unfamiliar. The first time I saw Fifth Yiniang, I had a warm feeling, and I will ask Fifth Yiniang to take care of her in the future. If one day I do something wrong and make my father angry, I hope Fifth Yiniang can say a few words for me." After she finished speaking, she said: He stared at Fifth Aunt without blinking.

These few words were really meaningful, as if they were implying something, Hongying was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and saw Jiang Ruan's smiling eyes. Hongying only felt that her gaze was covered with a layer of fog, it was so clear and bottomless, it made people unable to see her thoughts. After thinking about it a few times in her heart, she showed a frightened expression: "What are you talking about, big girl? If you can help big girl, this servant will definitely do my best."

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Then I would like to thank Fifth Yiniang first, I see that the only person in this mansion that can be relied on is someone like Fifth Yiniang. The appearance and demeanor of Fifth Yiniang is even worse than that of the wife of the main house. of."

Hearing these words, Hongying couldn't help but shudder in her heart, she looked at Jiang Ruan tentatively, and said with a smile: "Young lady, don't make fun of your slaves, madam is golden branches and jade leaves, slaves come from humble backgrounds, it's a big difference .”

"Feng Shui turns around. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, has my aunt heard this?" Jiang Ruan said: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future, and fifth aunt should not underestimate herself. The princes and generals are kind. , a humble birth does not necessarily mean that you will not have a good future."

Hongying paused, then lowered her head and said softly, "Three days will be the Lantern Festival, Miss, have you been to the old lady's place?"

She made this statement, and Luzhu behind her couldn't help being a little surprised, and heard Jiang Ruan say: "That's right, the sisters are together."

"The eldest girl has a kind heart, but it's better to be more careful about some things. My wife and the second girl have been a little strange in the past few days. The eldest girl...be sure to take care." After Hongying finished speaking, she didn't stop and didn't look at Jiang Ruan again. The expression on his face left in a hurry. Luzhu behind her was thoughtful: "Girl, what Fifth Yiniang said seems to have other meanings."

"She is a smart person." Jiang Ruan said: "It would be great if you could mention me like this in the previous life."

The voice of the last sentence was extremely low, and Luzhu couldn't hear it clearly, and was taken aback for a moment: "What?"

Jiang Ruan smiled: "Nothing, go back."

After returning to Ruanju, as Xia Yan said, the newly sent maids had already arrived in the house, and when they saw Jiang Ruan coming back, they all stood in a row.

Zisu and Forsythia are the first-class maids who serve closely, and Luzhu is the second-class maid. Every young lady in Jiang's mansion has two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and six third-class maids. Yanhuayuan sent four of them, saying that Jiang Ruan would choose the rest in a few days.

The four maidservants formed a row, all of them were beautiful young girls, Jiang Ruan didn't even look at them when she came in, she walked to the side of the soft couch and started to read a book.

Forsythia and Zisu stood quietly behind Jiang Ruan without saying a word, handing her hot tea from time to time, really treating the girls in the room as transparent people.

After more than half an hour like this, finally someone couldn't bear it anymore, and one of the servant girls came forward first, and said softly: "The slaves have seen the eldest girl."

Only then did Jiang Ruan raise her head slowly, as if she was extremely lazy, and glanced at the maidservants, but the twinkling eyes were sharp, and finally fell on the face of the maidservant who walked forward.

The servant girl had a beautiful face with a bit of bookish air, which doubled her appearance, and she lowered her head, showing a humble appearance.

"What's your name?" Jiang Ruan smiled slightly.

"The servant girl calls for scholarly fragrance." The servant girl replied meekly.

Scholarly, Jiang Ruan took a sip of tea slowly. The girl who accompanied her into the palace in her previous life looked humble, obedient, kind and amiable. It was because of her ability to read that she kept her by her side. The last impression I had of her was the day before she became a human being, Jiang Susu came to see her in the prison, and she was accompanied by her personal servant girl.

Now, bring her back again.

The fourteenth day of the first lunar month is the annual Lantern Festival in the Dajin Dynasty. It is a grand festival for young people. As early as a few days ago, the clothing and jewelry stores in the middle of the capital were bustling, and the supply of makeup shops was in short supply. On that day, young talents gathered in the tavern long ago, discussing who will win the first prize in Linglong Boat this year.

Early in the morning, Jiang Ruan was woken up by Zisu and Lianqiao, and the two were busy choosing what clothes and jewelry to wear for her today. Luzhu regretted that she couldn't go with her, and said bitterly: "Young lady must be outstanding tonight, but it's a pity that the maidservant didn't get her eyes, I don't know how many people will be stunned."

Lian Qiao could hear the sourness in her words, she laughed and scolded: "Say something nonsense, should I give you my vacancy, I can guard it in the mansion."

"How can that be?" Luzhu pouted, "I'm not doing things for girls. Besides, these newcomers in the yard are not easy to get along with. You are not here today, so I just want to kill their prestige."

"Sister Luzhu, take it easy." Zisu joked in a rare way, "Don't frighten these delicate little girls."

"Left and right are not servants, what are you talking about Jiao Didi?" There was a hint of contempt in Luzhu's eyes: "And they are all black-hearted. Today I saw that scholar rummaging for something in the back room a few times, so I followed her. You guys Knowing what I found, that scholar actually stole a handkerchief from the girl."

"What!" Lian Qiao, who was combing her hair with Jiang Ruan, shook her hands and cried out in surprise, her movements stopped immediately: "Why didn't you stop me?"

Jiang Ruan's eyes paused, and she also looked at Luzhu, but she was not as eager as Forsythia, but calm and composed.

Luzhu said: "Young lady told the slaves that you should take good care of those girls, especially Shuxiang, and act according to circumstances when necessary, as long as you know that girls are on the side of Yanhuayuan. The slaves have been following the traffickers since childhood, so it is obvious Too much, if the scholarly fragrance is just dirty hands and feet, the most fearful thing is that she will have dirty thoughts. This veil is not a small thing, if it falls into the hands of others, it may ruin the girl's innocence. It was a waste of life for no reason. The girl was asleep at the time, and it would be too late for the servant to report back to the girl, so the servant made her own decision."

Jiang Ruan looked at her: "How did you do it?"

A trace of pride flashed in Luzhu's eyes: "I took advantage of her to go out and replaced the girl's handkerchief she hid under the pillow with the second girl's."

Zi Su was startled: "Why are you doing this?"
