The next day, Qiu Ju quickly found out the news about Jiang Jiaojiao's marriage proposal.
Qiu Ju was dejected as soon as she entered the room, "Miss, Yang is really capable. She actually got into the marriage of Taiwei Wu's family."
"Sit down quickly and tell me, is it the second or third young master of the Wu family?"
Jiang Shuyue counted the time. If she remembered correctly, three young masters in Taiwei Wu's family were already adults.
The eldest son Wu is older and should have been married. The second and third young masters Wu and Wu are about the same age as Jiang Jiaojiao.
As for how many concubines Wu Taiwei had from his other concubines, she was too young to know.
The eldest son and the third son Wu were born to Taiwei Wu's legitimate wife. The second son Wu was born to one of Wu Taiwei's favorite concubines. That concubine was promoted as his aunt by Taiwei Wu because she gave birth to the second son Wu.
Qiu Ju shook her head, "I'm in charge of things. You can't take the lead and mess with the rules. I'm not tired."
Gao Mu personally drove her to the east of the city. Her feet were not tired, but her heart was tired.
Along the way, she silently asked the Bodhisattva why the bad guys didn't get their retribution.
Qiu Ju said with a calm expression: "If it is the second young master Wu, I still feel that she has received some retribution. The matchmaker said that Jiang Jiaojiao is betrothed to the third young master of the Wu family."
Seeing Qiu Ju's frown, Jiang Shuyue smiled faintly and said, "Why are you worried? Could it be that Jiang Jiaojiao has already entered the Taiwei's mansion."
"Even if she married into the Taiwei Mansion, your young lady would have a hundred ways to get her out of the Taiwei Mansion."
Qiu Ju immediately became energetic when she heard this.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, please don't be lenient. We have to pay back everything she did to you. Miss gave this slave a pack of medicine, and I want her to taste the pain of losing her innocence."
A hint of coldness appeared on Jiang Shuyue's lips, "To destroy her innocence, she is protected by the Yang family, so there is no way she will end up being kicked out of the house. It only hurts when you cut her flesh with a dull knife."
"What are the arrangements for the next step, Miss? I will ask Gao Mu to handle it?"
"Why not Cangyun?"
Qiu Ju was stunned when she was asked, yes, why did she always call Gao Mu around? Cangyun was quite reliable in doing things, even more careful than Gao Mu.
"Next time, I will call you Cangyun." When she said this, Qiu Ju felt inexplicably guilty.
Qiu Ju didn't have time to think about why she felt like this.
She continued: "Wu Taiwei's family has sent a matchmaker to exchange Jiang Jiaojiao's Geng Tie. Tomorrow Mrs. Wu will go to Qinglian Temple to ask the elders to make a horoscope."
"We haven't been to Qinglian Temple for many years. We will also go to worship the Bodhisattva tomorrow."
Qiu Ju's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, let's go too. It's best if we also go and see Mrs. Wu."
Jiang Shuyue picked up the round fan on the table and shook it gently, "Didn't the Shangshu Mansion tell the public that I died suddenly? From tomorrow on, I will go out in a big way. In front of anyone, I will identify myself as Miss Jiang, and that is me. It’s about that.”
Qiu Ju said worriedly: "Miss, Yang has a good face but a bad heart. She will definitely throw dirty water on you and say things that will ruin your reputation."
"No, not only will she not know how, she will also be afraid that I will make the matter public."
Seeing the lady's firm tone and calm expression, Qiu Ju asked curiously: "Why did the lady say she can't do it? What else can a vicious woman like her not do?"
"Jiang Jiaojiao is in a hurry to discuss marriage. If she ruins my reputation, Jiang Jiaojiao will also be questioned by others. One will gain and one will lose. No matter how stupid Yang is, she understands this truth."
Jiang Shuyue is not afraid of how Yang will throw dirty water on her. She will use her actions to tell everyone what kind of person she, Jiang Shuyue, is.
"Miss, do you still remember Master Huiyuan? Tomorrow we will draw lots and pay homage to Yue Lao, so that Yue Lao can bless the young lady to meet the one she loves as soon as possible."
Seeing Qiu Ju's pious look, Jiang Shuyue couldn't help laughing.
She smiled and teased Qiu Ju, "It's better to believe in Yue Lao than to believe in yourself. After your lady is busy for a while, why don't you set up a flower stand and throw hydrangeas, and throw hydrangeas at any handsome young lady you like? Do you think it's okay? ?”
"Young lady is wise, let's set up the gate. Once young lady stands on the stage, the scholars from Qingyunzhai will definitely come rushing over. We'll pick the most handsome one and smash it."
Jiang Shuyue said seriously: "What a good idea. You go down and rest, and I'll write a poem. You can hang it on the wall of Qingyunzhai later."
Qiu Ju was stunned by Jiang Shuyue's deception, and she was so happy that she went to talk to Lan'er and Mei'er.
She will definitely be able to write poems, but her goal is not those little fresh meat.
Before Qingyunzhai closed, Qiu Ju went to the study. The boy was busy closing the door and didn't pay attention to what was written on it.
The next day.
Gao Mu and Cangyun drove the carriage slowly toward the city gate.
In the carriage, Qiu Ju looked at the lady in a crescent-white brocade dress that made her skin look better than snow.
The beauty mark between her eyebrows seems to be redder.
"Miss, Mr. Nangong said last night that he would go to the academy today to see everyone's reaction. Miss used to write masterpieces and put them in the academy for her own appreciation. The scholars must have praised them very much, and the servants are also looking forward to it."
Qiu Ju's heart aches when she talks about the poems written by the young lady in the past.
"Miss, the second young lady has caught Mrs. Wu's eyes. I suspect that she took out the poems you wrote to show off."
Jiang Shuyue waved her hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, most of the manuscripts were burned, and not much was left on the desk."
"There is still some in the drawer, but I don't want to burn it." Qiu Ju looked at Jiang Shuyue with guilty eyes.
"Don't worry, your young lady will go to Qinglian Temple today to clear her head. In the future, her thoughts will flow like a fountain, and she will definitely come up with better words."
"puff……"
Qiu Ju was amused by Jiang Shuyue and laughed out loud.
Gao Mu and Cangyun were sitting on the shaft of the carriage. They couldn't help but laugh when they heard the conversation between the master and the servant. The two of them did not dare to laugh wildly. They pursed their lips tightly, but their shoulders shook violently.
The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the foot of Qinglian Temple.
There is an inn where carriages are stored at the foot of the mountain. Gao Mu and Cangyun stored the carriages and a few people climbed up the stairs.
On both sides of the mountain road, there are patches of towering trees that block out the sun. Occasionally, a mountain breeze blows through, so you don't feel too hot.
The incense in Qinglian Temple is very strong, and people can be seen walking up the mountain from time to time on the road.
The mountain is not very high, so a few people walked around and arrived at the main hall in less than half an hour.
Jiang Shuyue asked Gao Mu and Cangyun to go look around on their own, while she and Qiu Ju went to Gongdexiang to add money for sesame oil.
The master and the servant worshiped the Bodhisattva in the main hall devoutly, and then walked towards the side hall on the left.
As soon as I walked around the corner, I heard an exclamation.
"Ghost! Ghost, you must be a ghost!"
Jiang Jiaojiao's face was pale as she walked towards her, pointing at Jiang Shuyue, her eyes widened in horror and she stepped back.
The maid on the side reminded: "Second Miss, she has a shadow. She is a human being, not a ghost."
Gao Mu and Cangyun heard the exclamation and ran over quickly. When they saw their master looking at a frightened woman with a smile, they stepped back and observed silently in the dark.
