147 Have a Good Chat
While the people around her were discussing, Jiang Xi’s eyes flickered as he looked at the carriage.
The maidservant, Hong Shan, looked around and lowered her voice to say to Lu Liu, “I’m afraid the girl from the Fang family can’t make it. I heard that the imperial preceptor returned from his trip yesterday. This carriage is probably going to the imperial preceptor’s mansion to ask for treatment.” Ever since Song Yun disguised herself as a man and traveled outside under the name of Seventh Song, the two servant girls, Hong Shan and Lu Liu had been handed over to Jiang Xi. Which man would always have two servant girls waiting on him when he went out? Song Yun could not afford to lose that face.
Hong Shan saw Lu Liu’s blank face and quickly explained, “This Fang family’s Young Miss is the future crown princess. As long as she gets through the selection, she will become the official crown princess. She will soon be able to marry into the Eastern Palace, but she is so sick that she can’t get out of bed. The people say that the Fang family’s Young Miss is ill-blessed.”
Jiang Xi also heard what Hong Shan said. Although she had never met Miss Fang, she was sure that she was very lucky to be appointed as the crown princess.
Someone hurried behind Jiang Xi. A man in a manservant’s uniform entered the shop behind Jiang Xi and said, “Send these things to the Zhao family. Follow the old rules. The dressing table, bed, and screen are all according to the previous standards. Boss, you have to be quick and send them quickly. I still have to go to the clothing store to order clothes and a few sets of jewelry.”
“Don’t worry. Other families would have to book a dressing table and bed half a year in advance, but our family doesn’t need it. It’s specially prepared for the Zhao family and can be available at any time. Is Marquis Zhao going to be a groom again?” The boss’s face bloomed into a smile. Marquis Zhao Hongwei married several concubines a year, and it would be the same for every concubine.
The servant boy laughed, but he did not refute his boss’s words. However, he felt that the marquis was a little different this time. The jewelry and clothes he had ordered were of a much higher grade than before.
Hong Shan heard the conversation between the manservant and the boss, watched the manservant busy going back and forth between the shops, and said, “My lady’s charm isn’t good enough. She didn’t manage to stop those women who wanted to enter the Zhao residence this time.” She felt that Song Yun’s charm had dropped and sighed at Zhao Hongwei’s ability to attract women at his age and make them willing to enter the Zhao residence and become his concubine. On second thought, Jiang Xi was about to marry into the Zhao family. It was really unlucky to have such a father-in-law. With a father like this, even if Zhao Ruifeng was not known as the jinx to his wife, it would probably be difficult for him to get married. After all, no woman would be willing to enter a family with so many women. Although the status of a concubine in the residence was not high, only a little higher than a servant girl, the house was full of concubines. It was scary. In addition, the men of the Zhao family were women-making machines. Everyone gave birth to a daughter, and the future mother-in-law would be cruel and merciless. Even if Zhao Ruifeng’s wife angered her mother-in-law to death and stepped on her bones to enter the family. There were still 28 sisters-in-law waiting… Thinking about this, she felt that the Zhao residence was a mess, so who would dare to marry?
As a result, although everyone envied Jiang Xi for being able to marry General Zhao Ruifeng despite her humble status, they secretly sympathized with Jiang Xi and were waiting to see Jiang Xi make a fool of herself. After all, how could a country bumpkin be able to control the entire Zhao family?
At this time, Jiang Xi’s heart was filled with disbelief when she heard that her future father-in-law was going to marry another wife. Many of the concubines that Zhao Hongwei married came from the same place. For example, the Jade Spring Brothel. Three of the Zhao family’s concubines came from the Jade Spring Brothel. Now, the brothel Madame had a headache whenever she saw Zhao Hongwei. She was afraid that he would hook up with the girls in her brothel again.
“I wonder if the Zhao family’s daughter-in-law, who hasn’t married into the family yet, would be so angry if she knew that her father-in-law had another wife. This daughter-in-law had not even married into the family yet, and the father-in-law was already carrying concubine after concubine into the manor. Wasn’t this just disgusting? They’re just bullying their future daughter-in-law because her family doesn’t have any power. If they had power, they would’ve come to her house to support her. ” The boss of the shop complained a few times, then shook his head and went to count the goods.
Jiang Xi chuckled when she heard her boss’ words. ‘Just wait and see.’ After she married into the Zhao family, she would have a good chat with the Zhao family.
“Miss Jiang, don’t be angry. The general will part with the family sooner or later. You can treat the concubines in the Zhao residence as hens that lay eggs. No matter what, Marquis Zhao can’t give birth to a boy. In the future, everything in the Zhao residence will be yours.” Hong Mu stammered as she comforted Jiang Xi.
