Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 20 Part 1: Sisters

The bed in the chief assistants house was much softer compared to the board in Mount Qingcheng.

Although Jiang Yuan Bai was a scholar, he was also a chief assistant. Some people became an official for the common people while some people became an official for their ambition. Jiang Yuan Bai had fulfilled his ambition, which was equivalent to having an enjoyable life.

When Tonger came in the morning to wait upon Jiang Li, her smile was much more brilliant compared to previous days. She chattered while giggling about how much softer and more comfortable her bed was last night. The room she resided in was also brighter and more spacious.

Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao stood at one side. Yun Shuang was totally unwilling to do her task of serving Jiang Li while Xiang Qiao pretended to wipe the table while accompanying Jiang Li to chat. Yet she didnt raise her hand to do heavy manual labor at all.

In the entire Fang Fei Garden, apart from Tonger, there were only Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao, these servants. Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao were unlikely to do the heavy work. As a result, Tonger had to handle all the matters inside and outside the courtyard. Perhaps Ji Shuran had intentionally not given Jiang Li some servants to do the rough work. In a way, that was bullying Jiang Li not knowing the current standard. If Jiang Li understood, Ji Shuran was giving her a reason to be unhappy. Then she would turn her head to Jiang Yuan Bai and shed a few tears, saying that Jiang Li had a big temper and what not. From there, things would naturally take its course and she got her way.

Yet Jiang Li didnt care in the slightest. When Yun Shuang went outside, Jiang Li pulled the corner of Xiang Qiao shirt and spoke: Theres something I need to trouble Xiang Qiao jiejie.

Xiang Qiao was stunned and replied with a smile: This servant is here to listen to second misss instructions.

Im afraid theres not enough manpower in this courtyard. Mother didnt arrange some rough servants here for me. You and Yun Shuang jiejie are my personal servants, Tonger also has her hands full already. Xiang Qiao jiejie has stayed in the house for many years, so you should be very familiar with the person who buys and sells servant girls. Could Xiang Qiao jiejie please help me to arrange for a few people for sweeping and watering.

After Xiang Qiao heard, she knitted her brows: Second miss, to get more servants in the courtyards need Madams permission.

Mother is affectionate to me, but unfortunately forgot to arrange manpower for me. She could be busy with daily affairs so she forgot this side here. How can I disturb here? Its just buying a few servant girls, I wish to personally bear it. Xiang Qiao jiejie please arrange it. Then Jiang Li conveniently picked up a gold bracelet from the small box and slipped it into Xiang Qiaos hand, speaking and smiling: Is it possible?

Is it possible?

The gold bracelet gleamed brightly on Xiang Qiaos hand. The weight felt different from her gold bracelet. This one was slim and elaborate, giving her hand an extravagant impression. Xiang Qiao knew that this kind of workmanship and pattern was more valuable compared to the one worn on her hand.

Of course its possible! Xiang Qiao nodded firmly. Her sight stuck to the bracelet and couldnt move away from it. She had followed Ji Shuran for a few years, but Ji Shuran was not as generous in rewards as this second miss who came from the mountain. Xiang Qiao felt puzzled in her heart. Perhaps this second miss didnt know the worth of these jewelry, thats why she gave them to her so easily?

Before she could think more, Jiang Li smilingly spoke from the side: Then I will now trouble Xiang Qiao jiejie.

Xiang Qiao had received the gold bracelet, her heart felt both nervous and excited. She at once said: This servantt will definitely settle this matter for second miss. Second miss just needs to wait. While talking, she withdrew outside.

After Xiang Qiao left, Tonger stood at the side and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Jiang Li spoke: Just say it out if you have anything to say.

Young lady, this servant doesnt understand, Tonger spoke: Why are you so good towards Xiang Qiao? You obviously know she was assigned by Ji shi. Perhaps, you want to use this silver money to bribe her?

Bribe? Jiang Li shook her head: this persons intention is not correct. Shes two-faced, used to act flexible and take advantage of the situation. Moreover, she is very greedy. This kind of person, even if bought out, will inevitably change sides. I dont dare to buy this kind of person out.

Since thats the case, why did you give her these jewelry? Even if at this time she said she was going to help you choose some servant girls, theres no guarantee that she wouldnt tell Ji shi in private. Then, the people sent here would also pass through Ji shis selection.

Sorry for the delay, went hiking again and hadnt edited it in advance >.< But it was all worth it
