After Jiang Xingjian made it clear to Lin Jiayue, she no longer worried about Song Wan, and instead focused on thinking about strange and obscene skills.
Song Wan was busy talking about the Sun family and Jiang Yan's marriage, but he didn't care about these two people. After finally waiting for Mrs. Sun to soften her tone, she could have a rest.
Just after taking a bath, Song Wan was applying skin-nourishing fragrance to her with Heng Zhi Heng Wu. Luzhu also took Jinxiu Tang’s Zhendian balm to nourish her hair.
The cicadas were chirping outside, but Song Wan felt so hot that he was drowsy and too lazy.
"Miss, it's really too hot this summer. Even wearing Xiaying gauze, I feel very hot."
Song Wan lay half-lying on the beauty's couch and snorted sleepily.
"Miss, I heard that Aunt Lin's ice-making shop sold a lot of money. A few days ago, my wife even sent her some fruits in the yard."
Vanilla stood aside for Green Bamboo and spoke cautiously.
Song Wan opened his eyes and was slightly absent-minded. After a moment, he said: "She is really extraordinary. I thought she shouldn't be so mediocre."
"Miss... I heard from Mrs. Liang that the ice shop made one or two thousand taels of silver in half a month. The principal given by the uncle has been returned. Now even the madam looks at her differently and is not as open-mouthed as before. The humble body and the light body..."
"Miss, what should we do?"
Song Wan held her clothes in her hands, her cheeks that were a little hot due to the hot weather were slightly red. She took the tapestry fan with a picture of a lady and fanned it one by one.
"What? She can earn money for the Hou Mansion, isn't it also a good thing for us?"
“Don’t we also get our food and clothing from public sources?”
"Miss……"
Xianghua called Song Wan anxiously, and Song Wan opened his eyes and said, "I know what you are worried about, but you have to know that face is always earned by yourself. If I am incompetent and cannot maintain the dignity that a legitimate wife of the Hou family deserves, How long can you lift me just by relying on the old lady and your wife?"
"Are we just going to have to watch Aunt Lin show off her power and seduce the uncle?"
Song Wan smiled lightly: "A person's ability is always admirable. If she really has the confidence to show off her power in front of me, I will also welcome her."
She stood up, and upon seeing this, Heng Zhi quickly picked up the inner skirt made of cloud gauze material that Concubine Yun had given her a few days ago, and put it on for Song Wan.
"Just an ice-making shop won't do much good. With Lin Jiayue's temperament, she has no one to help her. It's really difficult to make it work."
"Isn't it just the uncle who is supporting you now?"
Song Wan said calmly: "I'm not worried about him."
After getting dressed, Song Wan went to the study to read. As soon as he was fascinated by the book, he saw Aunt Zhao coming to look for her.
"Concubine Jiang gave the order to take the uncle and Aunt Lin into the palace."
"Did the empress say it or did the uncle take Aunt Lin there?"
Aunt Zhao's face was ugly: "It was my Majesty who told me to see Aunt Lin."
Song Wan held the book in his hand and frowned.
I was just worried about this little thing, but now it's happening.
Lin Jiayue was very excited after receiving the oral order. She had always longed for the palace, and after learning about the Three-Five-Year War, she paid even more attention to the movements in the DPRK. Now that she cooperated with what Jiang Xingjian said, Lin Jiayue felt that she could Played a big role.
"How about I wear this dress?"
Lin Jiayue pulled a pink floor-length skirt and gestured in front of her. Jiang Xingjian frowned and said, "No, entering the palace is not a child's play. All rules and etiquette are indispensable."
Seeing her cheerful look, Jiang Xingjian only felt annoyed.
Angrily, she changed into a goose-yellow one, but when she entered the palace for the first time, she was still unhappy. Fortunately, after entering Concubine Jiang's Yanqing Palace, Lin Jiayue smiled broadly.
"Folk girl Lin Jiayue pays homage to Concubine Jiang."
"Get up. Thanks to you, Yi'er can save his life. I haven't thanked you yet."
Jiang Man was dressed in palace attire and had an elegant temperament. Her face was gentle and graceful, and her passionate eyes made Lin Jiayue very fond of this gentle sister.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, Xingjian is also Yue'er's sweetheart, the one who saves her..."
Lin Jiayue's face turned red: "It's only natural."
Jiang Man smiled lightly, gave Jiang Xingjian and Lin Jiayue seats, and had a family dinner for only three people in the palace.
During the dinner, Lin Jiayue tried her best to coax Jiang Man into a good mood.
"You are a good girl, but Yi'er has wronged you. The method of making ice is really amazing. I didn't expect you to have such ability at such a young age."
"It's just an ice-making shop. If a girl wants to, she can make money no matter how much money she has."
Jiang Xingjian frowned unconsciously when he heard this, but Jiang Man said calmly.
Lin Jiayue's face was full of determination: "It's not that the women of the people are responsible for it. If the Hou Mansion is managed by the women of the people, it will definitely turn a profit within half a year. For a business like ice making shop, as long as the women of the people want to, they can open ten more Eight is no problem.”
Jiang Xingjian's hands were squeezed tightly under the table. If Concubine Jiang hadn't been there, he might have blocked Lin Jiayue's mouth with a mouthful of osmanthus cake.
Although Jiang Man is his elder sister, she becomes a member of the royal family once she enters the palace. How can anything related to imperial power be so simple?
If you speak arrogantly today, the Hou Mansion will be able to do it in the future, but it needs to do better.
If you can't do it...I'm afraid your life will be in danger.
Jiang Xingjian lowered his eyes and regretted more and more.
Lin Jiayue had her own plans in mind, so she naturally ignored what Jiang Xingjian thought. Only now did she understand that whether it was love or power, she had to fight for it by herself, and Jiang Man was her backer in fighting for herself.
"It's a pity that a woman of the common people is soft-spoken and has no say in the prince's mansion. Even if she sees... the mistakes of the grandma in charge, she can't say anything to correct her, so she can only worry about herself."
Picking up a piece of candied golden dates, Jiang Xingjian said, "You usually love sweets, why not try the skills of the royal chef in the palace."
Lin Jiayue smiled shyly and held Jiang Xingjian's hand.
"Really? What mistake did the grandma of the Hou Mansion make? Why don't you tell me?"
Jiang Man spoke calmly, and Jiang Xingjian felt a chill in her heart.
"Although a civilian girl is not from a common family, she has a lot of experience. Taking charge of the back house requires thunderous means. Only in this way can she maintain the dignity of the person in charge. She only seeks a good name and a clear name, but her hands are tied."
Jiang Man nodded in agreement: "It's not advisable to seek fame and reputation. What you said makes some sense."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Man said: "You can be considered kind to the Hou Mansion. The position of a lowly concubine is indeed too insulting. I will send a letter to my mother today to promote you to a noble concubine. As for..."
Giving Lin Jiayue a sideways glance, Jiang Man half-smiled but said, "If you make great contributions to the Marquis Mansion in the future, I may ask the Holy One to grant you the position of an equal wife."
Fair wife...
Lin Jiayue felt relieved when she heard these two words.
Song Mansion and Song Wan will surely fall in the future, but she can't forget the way Song Wan coldly called her ridiculous that day.
She wanted to see how Song Wan, who had sworn that she would be the Hou Mansion's legitimate wife for the rest of her life, would look on her face when she became Jiang Xingjian's common wife.
"Thank you very much, your Majesty. I will do my best to assist the Hou Mansion and your Majesty in the future."
Jiang Man smiled softly: "That's fine, the Hou Mansion cannot be controlled by outsiders..."
"Yi'er, when you return home today, tell Song Wan that Jiayue will be in charge of the palace with her. With her complementing each other, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
