The bed in the Prime Minister's Mansion is much softer than the wooden bed on Qingcheng Mountain.
Although Jiang Yuanbai is a scholar, he is also the Prime Minister of the dynasty. Some people become officials for the people of the world, and some people become officials for their ambitions. Jiang Yuanbo achieved his ambitions and also enjoyed life.
When Tong'er came to serve Jiang Li early in the morning, her smile was much brighter than usual. She chattered about how soft and comfortable the bed was last night, and how spacious and bright the room was.
Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao stood aside. Yun Shuang was not willing to serve Jiang Li at all. Xiang Qiao pretended to wipe the table and chat with Jiang Li, but she was not at all tired of doing rough and heavy work.
In the whole Fangfei Garden, apart from Tong'er, there were only two maids, Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao. Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao would not do heavy work, so Tong'er was the only one who handled all the affairs inside and outside. Ji Shuran intentionally or unintentionally did not assign a rough maid to Jiang Li, which was to bully Jiang Li because she did not know the current rules. Even if Jiang Li knew, it would be natural for her to be unhappy with her and then go back to Jiang Yuanbo to say that Jiang Li had a bad temper.
However, Jiang Li didn't care at all. When Yun Shuang went outside, she pulled Xiang Qiao's clothes and said, "I want to trouble Sister Xiang Qiao for something."
Xiang Qiao was stunned and smiled, "Miss, if you have anything, just tell me."
"I'm afraid there are not enough people in my yard now. Mother didn't arrange a maid for me. You and Sister Yun Shuang are here to take care of my daily life. Tong'er can't handle it alone. Sister Xiang Qiao has been in the mansion for many years. She should be very familiar with the maids. Please help me arrange a maid. I'll go pick some people to clean up the house."
Xiang Qiao frowned after hearing this, "Second Miss, the number of maids in the courtyard must be approved by the Madam."
"Mother loves me, but she forgot to arrange people for me. She is so busy with daily affairs that she forgets about me. How can I bother her again? It's just a few maids. I want to pick them myself. Sister Xiang Qiao will arrange them." She picked up a gold bracelet from a box on the side, put it on the other person's hand, and smiled, "Is it okay?"
Is it okay?
The bright gold bracelet was on Xiang Qiao's hand. Unlike the heavy red gold bracelet on her hand, this one was slender and delicate. It didn't look as heavy as the one on her hand, but Xiang Qiao knew that such workmanship and patterns were more valuable than the one on her hand.
"Of course!" Xiang Qiao nodded repeatedly, her eyes glued to the bracelet and couldn't get away. She had been with Ji Shuran for many years, but Ji Shuran was not as generous as the second young lady from the mountains. Xiang Qiao couldn't help wondering, could it be that the second young lady didn't know how much silver these jewellery were worth, so she gave them to her so easily?
Before she could think about it, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Sister Xiang Qiao now."
Xiang Qiao was nervous and excited when she got the gold bracelet, and she immediately said, "I will definitely do this for the second young lady, wait for her." She said as she left the house.
After Xiang Qiao left, Tong'er stood aside. Seeing her hesitant look, Jiang Li said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"Miss, I don't understand," Tong'er said, "Why are you so nice to Xiang Qiao, knowing that she was sent by Ji... Maybe you want to bribe her with this money?"
