Distressed Concubine

Chapter 219
Five days later, when the carriage returned to the gate of the General's Mansion, a group of people waiting anxiously in the mansion finally let out a long sigh when they saw the figure getting off the carriage.

sky!Grandma is finally back!This time, I don't know if the prince will make another account with them.

Thinking about it, everyone's back felt cold and their hair stood on end.

Nalan Xingde's face was even darker, his eagle eyes were sharp, he wished he could shoot thousands of holes in his precious girl.

But in the next moment, when Chu Xia and Qing Fu got off the car, everyone's faces overflowed with joy.

"Little girl! Come here!"

Jing Nan beckoned, and when Qing Fu beamed with joy, she threw herself into his arms with an arrow.

"Brother Nan!" She smiled and hugged her head.

Nalan Ruixue and Nalan Chuxia were in a mess in the wind. Didn't this girl yell about marrying Jingchen a few days ago?how?Still want to eat all the big and small, brother and brother can't get married?

Jing Nan rubbed her head and smiled.

Mo Bei coughed twice. "Ahem, is it only brother Nan?"

"Brother Mobei, Brother Xiye, Brother Zhanlei, Brother Jiangfeng!" Qing Fu happily embraced each of them and greeted them.Everyone couldn't help pinching her face and rubbing her head.

Nalan Ruixue looked at her eyes without the slightest bit of displeasure, and Jing Nan, who had been smiling all the time, finally understood that it turned out that Jing Nan had always regarded Qingfu as a younger sister.

At the end, Qingfu turned her head in doubt. "Where's Jianghuai?"

Scanned around, still nothing.

Everyone's expressions darkened, but Jing Nan looked fearless, grabbed her little hand, and said with a smile, "Go! I'll take you to see Jiang Huai."

"Okay, okay!" Qing Fu followed Jing Nan to the backyard with a few jumps.

During the eight days she ran away, the Qinglong Department and the Fuhu Camp, which used to fight the enemy and conquer the world, are now doing porter work, changing the general's mansion at a rapid pace.

What does it mean to have more people and more power?
Murong Jun contributed money, Zhuoyulou provided design drawings, and tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there contributed.

For an ordinary family to repair a courtyard wall, dozens of people work at the same time, mixing mud, building, pouring, and it will take seven or eight days.

But what is the speed at which tens of thousands of people come to work?After careful deployment by the people in Zhuoyulou, assembly line workmanship, repairing the courtyard wall can be done in half a day!
Laying tiles and laying bricks is even easier!In just eight days, the Beiyuan side, headed by her courtyard, has been completely repaired, and the repairs to the South Garden have begun.

When Nalan Ruixue walked into the courtyard, she almost fainted from shock.

Her courtyard has more than tripled in size, and its level of luxury is comparable to that of a royal palace.

Glazed blue tiles with hooked corners and cornices, all the original bluestone bricks on the ground were removed and replaced with white jade floor tiles, and all the doors and windows of ordinary pear wood were replaced with carved huanghuali.

Tassel brocade, green gauze tent.

Almost all the most expensive and best things that can be seen on the market have been moved to her courtyard, but without exception, they are all in elegant tones, without the slightest hint of gold.

In the enlarged courtyard, the rare Dendrobium phalaenopsis is planted at one end, and even the ginkgo tree in her courtyard has been carefully pruned, which is quite beautiful.

But these were not what shocked her the most. The most shocking thing was the "betrothal gifts!" The lacquered wedding boxes were piled up one after another in the courtyard.

The whole scene is as grand as if it costs nothing!
Nalan Ruixue was stunned for a while and still didn't react, until the excited maid beside her said something. "Miss, the dowry is a total of 310 four levies. Mr. Murong said that it is a good omen for a lifetime. This is only one-third, and the rest is in the backyard!"

what!Nalan Ruixue was truly struck by lightning.

At this moment, Qing Luo and Murong Jun came out from the room talking and laughing.

"Miss will definitely like it!"

When he turned his head, he saw the young lady who was stunned at the door, and ran over excitedly. "Miss, hurry up and take a look in the room, Mr. Murong has got a lot of Xu Shi's paintings."

Ok?Nalan Ruixue was really dumbfounded, she didn't react until she was dragged into the room and saw several pictures of orchids framed on the wall.Chu Xia beside him was also stunned, muttering nonchalantly: "God! How much does it cost to get so many pairs?"

Each pair is a shocking work. Xu Shi's paintings have always been priceless and hard to find.A level like this is even more of a million gold level.

If ordinary people can find it, no one will be willing to sell it!

How much manpower and material resources will it take to collect so many pairs without heavy orchids?
God!Brother-in-law loves sister, it really hurts to the bone.

Murong Jun leaned on the door frame with his hands in his arms, and looked at it amusedly. After Su Zian followed in, he exclaimed, leaned into Murong Jun's ear and whispered, "Are you crazy! You actually..."

"Shhh!" Murong Jun gestured with a smile on his lips.

Su Zian glared at him. "Sheng came back and saw it and will deduct your monthly silver!"

"No, if she likes it, Cheng will be happy." Murong Jun smiled lowly, his eyes turned to Su Zian's face, and he raised his eyebrows. "Why are you hurt again?"

"You can't do hard work!" Su Zian said angrily, scanned around, and asked doubtfully, "Where's Xi Nan?"

"Still in disaster relief!"

"You just spared him after such a bloodletting this time?" Su Zian's eyes turned slightly, showing a hint of devil's calculation.

"Aren't you a hairless man too!" Murong Jun snorted coldly, and after meeting Su Zian's disdainful gaze, he immediately understood. "Yo, didn't you already have a lot of bloodletting?"

"Everything Cheng wanted was released, what do you think?" Su Zian frowned, quite proudly.

Murong Jun got excited, stood up and sighed. "Sure enough, it's unusual! Sheng asked you to ask for it for so many years, but you didn't give it to me, so now you're willing?"

snort!Su Zian sneered, what a dog's eyes!
"But... You said you want Xi Nan to bleed, how do you do it?" God knows how many days his heartache has been!Although he felt a sense of accomplishment watching the mansion become more and more beautiful, but it made his heart ache beyond words.

Really!He has never spent so much on marrying a wife!

Su Zian rolled his eyes, leaned forward and secretly bit his ear, Murong Jun nodded frequently when he heard the words.

When Nalan Ruixue turned her head, what she saw was the scene of two big men "kissing"!

His eyes were instantly brightened, and he couldn't bear to look directly at him!
Half a day later, the General's Mansion was completely boiling!

One day later, the whole Nantong Shangjing was also boiling!
In the streets and alleys, a thunderous news can be heard everywhere.

Now that the regent's charitable deeds have completely captured the hearts of the people in Nantong, more attention has been paid to the woman he is about to marry - Nalan Ruixue.

"Did you hear that! Did you hear that! Miss Nalan is actually embroidering!"

"I also heard from my third uncle's second aunt's sister-in-law's nephew's cousin who works in the general's house! It's true!"

"That's not true! All the embroiderers in the city who are good at embroidery have been invited to the General's Mansion this morning! They haven't been kicked out yet!"

"I heard that Miss Nalan asked for it herself!"

"impossible!"

On the restored bustling Jingcheng Street in Nantong, there was already a din of voices spreading this breaking news farther.

Inside the General's Mansion, Nalan Ruixue rubbed her sore neck, her heart filled with grief.

It's him!Why is embroidery so difficult?
Glancing at the ruined embroidery frames on the other side, she took a deep breath.

Nalan Ruixue!calm down!This is already the seventh embroidery frame!Be patient, you can't ruin it anymore!

After adjusting her smile, she turned her head to look at the trembling embroidered girls beside her, trying to make her voice soft. "Quiet question, how should I embroider this time?"

"Big, big, young miss, if you want to embroider, just, just embroider!"

Ok?She suppressed her smile and pricked the embroidery needle onto the white roll. "What do you mean! You can't teach me, can you?"

"No! Missy is talented, and she embroiders very well! I don't need to be taught anymore!" The embroiderer was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly.

Su Zian and Murong Jun, who were drinking tea and eating snacks on the other side, could hardly hold back their chess. They could only stuff their mouths desperately to resist the urge to puff.

Chu Xia and Qing Luo, who were accompanying the embroidery by the side, glanced at the embroidery frame impatiently, and closed their eyes silently.

Chu Xia waved her hand. "Okay, let's all go down!"

As if being pardoned, the embroiderers hurried out.

Nalan Ruixue raised her eyes and looked at the two sluts who were already laughing, she grabbed a handful of embroidery needles beside her and threw them at them. During that time, dozens of silver needles were stuck on the chair where the two were originally sitting.

Three inches into the wood, like a hedgehog, extremely frightening.

Su Zian squatted beside the chair, poked the densely packed needles with his fingers, and exclaimed, "Good technique!"

Murong Jun's back is sweating, my God!His lightness skill was no better than Su Zian's, he almost died!

Seeing the depressed look on the young lady's face, Qingluo had no choice but to patiently explain: "Miss! Your hand strength is too strong, if it is softer, maybe it will be better!"

Nalan Ruixue was so depressed!Speaking of martial arts, both Chu Xia and Qingluo also practice martial arts?Why do they all embroider?
And she is either light or heavy!

sky!Why is this strength so difficult to control?Her fingers were stabbed several times!
But before Chu Xia practiced martial arts with Qing Luo, she had learned female reds, she was not like her at all, and this is only the third time to touch embroidery needles, okay?

"Ah!" Nalan Ruixue yelled depressed in her heart, took a deep breath and started a new round of attempts, only to find that the needle pierced into the silk cloth earlier had completely gone through, and a horizontal line was drawn from east to west .

"How do you return the needle?"

"I can't return it." Qing Luo was ashamed.

Oh shit!Nalan Ruixue tore the silk cloth to pieces.

"Cut that needle, re-thread it...just... that's fine..." Qing Luo fell silent at the end of the sentence, unable to keep up with the speed of her tearing, her voice became smaller and smaller.

Uh... Nalan Ruixue looked down at the "little hen" at her hand that had been torn into two pieces and wasted all morning's embroidery, and was speechless.

Ouch!Su Zian and Murong Jun couldn't help but laugh.

The next moment!Embroidery frames hit directly.

Su Zian, who had just probed to see the situation, had a big bump on his forehead and burst into tears.

The servants heard the movement in the cabinet and reported it.

Nalan Xingde came to visit with Zhao Huan and others, and was taken aback when he entered the door.

Fang Shi followed behind with a soup cup, and almost spilled the earthen pot when he saw this scene.
