The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 71: Shuang'er
And that "Yang Guifei" obviously also loved Qinghe because it wagged its tail and greeted her very friendly!
Jiang Yaonian smiled and said, "It likes you very much. You can touch it."
Qinghe shook her head, indicating that she didn't dare.
Jiang Yaonian encouraged: "It's okay, it won't bite you, just give it a try."
Qinghe looked at Jiang Yaonian hesitantly, then looked at the astonishingly large "Yang Guifei", and was still very scared!
It's because its size is so terrifying. If it were in the water, it could easily subdue a living person!
Qinghe was very afraid that she would have nightmares at night.
Just when she was trembling with fear and hesitation, the "Yang Guifei" suddenly dived back into the water!
Then after a while, it came up with a stone in its mouth and gently spit the stone at Qinghe's feet.
Seeing this action, Qing He was very shocked. Jiang Yaonian said with a smile: "Take it, this is a gift from it."
Qing He was surprised and asked, "Ah, how did you know?"
Jiang Yaonian smiled and said, "I have several in my study!"
Qinghe bent down to pick up the stone, held it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully, and found that there were strange patterns engraved on it, which was very quaint and cute.
She said to the friendly and generous "Yang Guifei" in a gentle and crisp voice: "Thank you, beautiful lady!"
Unexpectedly, it seemed to understand what was said. It looked at Qinghe very gently for a while, then turned around and swam back into the water silently, disappearing without a trace in a few seconds!
This pond does not look very big, even smaller than the lake in front of the pavilion in Chuping Villa, but such a huge fish can suddenly disappear, which makes Qinghe very interested.
On the way back, she curiously asked Jiang Yaonian, "They are so big, they must have been raised for many years, right?"
"Yeah, about the same age as me!"
Jiang Yaonian explained: "I have loved coming here to play since I was a child. One day, I suddenly found a fish fry that swam from nowhere. It was about the size of an embroidery needle and very inconspicuous. So I came here to feed it.
Later, the fry became more and more numerous, and they grew bigger and bigger. After so many years, they have formed a big family. But only when I appear will Yang Guifei swim to the shore to play. I don’t know where she hides to rest at other times.”
Qing He was very surprised, "If you have something to do and can't come over, won't it be hungry forever?"
"I usually come here when I have nothing to do, but it seems to be very resistant to hunger. It doesn't lose weight at all even if I don't feed it for ten days or half a month."
Jiang Yaonian couldn't help but ponder as he said this: "I wonder where it usually hides to rest. The white color should be very conspicuous in the water, but I can't see where it comes from."
"What about them in the winter? Won't the pond freeze over?"
"No, this is a living spring. It never freezes all year round."
As they talked, the two of them walked into the villa.
A few maids were walking towards them not far away. When they saw the two disappearing from their backs, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "Young Master Nian is accompanying the Young Madam to visit the garden again."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the young master would be so patient."
"Well, that princess doesn't have this blessing."
"Yes, a man as handsome, outstanding and capable as Master is one in a million!"
Shuang'er, who was standing by, couldn't help but reveal a look of contempt and resentment in her eyes when she heard these words!
She had always thought that Mr. Jiang only married the poor village girl in the name of the old lady, and he actually had no feelings for her, otherwise he would not have gone to Prince Jing's mansion on his wedding night.
The Jiang family has a rule that they always choose their daughters-in-law from the common people and never marry into wealthy families. This makes Shuang'er feel that she also has a chance.
No matter her appearance, personality, age or family background, she was the best among the maids in the mansion. When she was ten years old, her mother remarried her to Yin Ziqi, the second steward of the mansion, and changed her name to Yin Shuang'er.
In fact, her original surname was Ren, and her name was Ren Shujuan. Her father was a minor official in the yamen who was addicted to alcohol. One cold winter day, he fell on the side of the road after getting drunk and froze to death.
Her mother became a widow, so she took her back to her parents' home.
Her uncle Liu Dasheng knew the second steward of the Jiang family, Yin Ziqi, and he brought the two together to become a couple.
Although her mother, Liu, was nearly thirty years old at the time, she was still very beautiful. Shuang'er took after her mother and grew up to be a beauty.
Yin Ziqi treated the mother and daughter well. Since she remarried, Shuang'er's living standard not only did not decline, but became even better than before. She ate chicken, duck, fish and meat, wore silk and satin, and never lacked rouge and powder.
This also made Shuang'er have higher aspirations for her life.
No! I won't be a third-class maid for the rest of my life!
It's not about marrying someone from a small family, but about becoming the mistress of the Jiang family and the wife of Mr. Jiang!
Looking at the conditions that the Jiang family set for selecting a daughter-in-law, Shuang'er felt that she met all of them.
She was born in a common family, is young and beautiful, gentle, sensible and knows how to act like a spoiled child. It was almost tailor-made for her situation!
She felt that she had no reason to lose the election, but the old lady had no intention of considering her at all, which made her feel resentful and helpless!
But she heard from other maids that Mr. Jiang didn't like any of the girls the old lady introduced to him, which made her feel hopeful again. Now it's my turn!
So she secretly told her mother her idea, and her mother told her stepfather Yin Ziqi.
But Yin Ziqi told her to give up this idea and said to her earnestly, "Shuang'er, I will treat you like my own daughter and will not cheat you. The position of the Jiang family's young lady is not easy to be, and Mr. Jiang is not an ordinary person. Let's find a decent and honest family that is right for us!"
After hearing this, Shuang'er said nothing, got up and went back to her room.
She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror: a snow-white oval face, two big watery eyes, no matter how you looked at her, she was qualified to be the mistress of a wealthy family. There was really no reason for her to marry a man from a small family!
Over the years, she had become accustomed to the luxurious lifestyle in the Jiang residence and looked down upon the men introduced by her stepfather.
People always strive for higher goals, and she decided to give it a try!
So every time Jiang Yaonian came to the room, her smile would become especially sweet, her voice would become especially gentle, and her whole person would be like a flower swaying in the spring breeze.
The other maids were all fine, but that slutty maid Ping'er always made sarcastic remarks to her with a half-smile and veiled meaning.
Shuang'er knew that she had the same idea as herself, and everyone was eyeing the position of Madam Jiang.
But in terms of appearance, Ping'er was far inferior to herself. Her skin was neither white nor tender, and she had a plain and dull face. She didn't look like a mistress of the house at all!
What she is best at is being humble, pretending to be gentle and coquettish, which is so disgusting!
The two had been fighting secretly for a long time, but neither had gained any advantage.
Unexpectedly, the old lady chose a grandson's wife from outside, which made both of them very angry, but they could do nothing about it. They had to temporarily stop the internal fighting and lay down their arms, but neither of them gave up.
As long as that little village girl can't give birth to a child within three years, it's not certain who will be the wife of Mr. Jiang in the end!
Shuang'er had bribed the night watch women and learned from them the shocking secret that Mr. Jiang had not been living in the villa. Her heart was immediately filled with fighting spirit!
