Chapter 121 Different thoughts

Ningguo Mansion, well, that is, the new Jia Mansion, the three sisters of Jia were sitting in Huifang Garden, and Yuanyang was standing in front of them.

Tanchun frowned
"Sister Yuanyang, you said the ancestor wants us to go over there?"

Yuanyang nodded and smiled.

“Third Miss, that’s what the old lady said, let me come and invite you.

Maybe it's been a long time since we last met, so I miss you a little."

Xichun was playing with the sky-blue butterfly in her hand. She rolled her eyes and sneered.
"Oh, forget it. Miss us? Why didn't she invite us over when Third Brother was here?"

Yuanyang was stunned and couldn't help but glance at Xichun.
She had also heard about this person's deeds, which were simply not something a lady from a noble family could do.

Tanchun's eyes flickered and she nodded.
"Well, no matter what, although we follow our third brother, she is also the ancestor of the Jia family.
Since Sister Yuanyang is the one who invited us, we will definitely go."

Xichun curled her lips, but didn't say anything this time.

Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew that the Third Young Lady was the housekeeper of the East Mansion.

Since she agreed, there must be no problem.

Yingchun naturally had no objection. Although her personality had changed a lot, she still didn't like to talk.

Sanchun followed Yuanyang to Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as Sanchun came into Rongqing Hall, she found that there were quite a lot of people there, including Wang Xifeng and the others.

Everyone looked at Sanchun. Although the two palaces were very close,

But there was no contact at all. Suddenly seeing Sanchun, they were a little surprised. They had grown up a lot.

Their faces became ruddy and more beautiful, especially the clothes they wore, which were exquisitely made and looked like something from the palace.

He was dressed better than them, and there was envy and jealousy in their eyes.

Mrs. Wang looked at Tanchun coldly. Seeing Tanchun, who was now full of vigor and vitality, she felt very uncomfortable.

How could a concubine's daughter become a county princess? The emperor is really blind.

Tanchun naturally noticed Mrs. Wang's expression, but she just glanced at her indifferently. Now she didn't need to care about Mrs. Wang's mood at all.

Xichun's face suddenly turned serious.

"Oh, I haven't been here for so long, but the mansion is still so rude. They even don't even greet the county lady."

A smile flashed in Tanchun's eyes, and she knew that her fourth sister would cause trouble.

Those people were stunned and looked a little unhappy, but Wang Xifeng stood up with a smile.

"Meet the three county lords."

Seeing this, the others could only stand up reluctantly and spoke up.

"I've met the county lord."

Mrs. Wang's face was dark. She looked at Tanchun, wondering if Tanchun would ask to be exempted from her formalities because of their past relationship.

But to her disappointment, Tanchun didn't even look at her.

There was no other way, so Mrs. Wang could only stand up slowly and said reluctantly:

"I've met the county lord."

"Hehe, oh, how sorry I am.
We are all members of the Jia family, no need to be polite, no need to be polite." Xichun smiled and waved her hand, saying generously.

Mrs. Wang and the others were choked. If they had known earlier, they would not have invited this little witch. She was simply asking for trouble.

Tanchun smiled and said, "Fourth sister is a little naughty, please don't take it to heart."

Wang Xifeng had the best attitude and said with a smile

"Third sister, it's okay. Fourth sister is just being true to herself. I like it."

Tanchun looked at Wang Xifeng and nodded. Speaking of which, it was this Sister Feng who often came to the East Palace.
I don’t know what she was thinking, but she seemed to want to get close to them.

Grandmother Jia sat there watching the scene expressionlessly, not saying a word, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Sanchun walked to the front and bowed to Jia's mother.

"Ancestor."

Grandmother Jia looked at the three people who were saluting and then she smiled.

"Get up, everyone. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you have grown so big." His tone was gentle.

Sanchun just stood there, without saying a word, with a calm look on her face.

Jia's mother's eyes darkened. After all, she was different from before, and the smile on her face also faded a little.
"Tanchun girl, you are the housekeeper of the East Palace now."

Tanchun immediately became alert and nodded.
"Grandfather, my brother trusts me, so he let me manage the household temporarily."

"Ha, I thought you were the smartest at that time. Sure enough, you managed the East Mansion in perfect order." Grandmother Jia said with a smile.

Tanchun said quickly, "This is not just my own achievement. My second sister and fourth sister also helped me a lot.
Oh, and Sister Lin and Sister Yun."

Jia smiled and nodded

"Okay, it's all good."

Grandmother Jia was silent for a moment, then suddenly said

"Tanchun, although you no longer live in Rongguo Mansion, we were pretty nice to you in the past.
See if you can spare some money for me." Grandmother Jia blushed for a moment, but recovered quickly.

Tanchun was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Xichun screamed

"Oh, does the old ancestor want to borrow money from us?"

Grandmother Jia frowned and sighed. Now that she had said it, she would just let it go.
"Ahem, Xichun girl is right. I do want to borrow some money from the East Palace. You know your sister Yuanchun, right?

She needed a lot of money in the palace, and I really had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

You don't want to see your sister Yuanchun suffer in the palace, do you?"

The three sisters looked at each other, all a little hesitant. Finally, Xichun and Yingchun looked at Tanchun.

Tanchun frowned and looked at Jia's mother.
"Grandma, how much do you want to borrow?" Grandmother Jia was delighted, and Mrs. Wang, who was listening attentively below, also showed a look of joy.

"Not much, just five hundred thousand taels of silver."

"What?" Xichun cried out before Tanchun could even open her mouth.

"So many, no, no, my brother will definitely be angry when he comes back."

Tanchun and Yingchun were also shocked. They did have a lot of silver in the East Palace, including 100,000 taels of gold brought back from Jiulong Mountain.
There were also a lot of silks, satins, and silver awarded by the title and the county lady.

In addition to the silver and farms that Ningguo Mansion had already accumulated, they really had no shortage of silver.
But whether or not there is a need is one thing, and giving it to others is another. They still know this truth.

Tanchun's face became more serious, and she shook her head.
"Grandfather, I can't make a decision with so much money. Why don't I wait until my brother comes back?"

Grandmother Jia paused, a trace of fear appeared in her eyes, and she asked Jia Hu, "Isn't that courting death?"
"If I don't have 400,000, how about 300,000?" She had to lower her requirements.

Tanchun's eyes had turned cold. She understood a little.

They saw their brother go to the south of the Yangtze River and wanted to go to the East Palace to beg for money.

"Grandfather, no." Tanchun spoke directly.

Jia's mother's face looked a little ugly, and finally she said lightly
"Then how much can you give?"

Tanchun's eyes flashed and she stretched out a finger.

Jia Mu was a little disappointed.

"One hundred thousand taels, well, that's fine, you can send it over tomorrow."

There was a hint of coldness in Tanchun's eyes.

"Grandfather, it's one thousand taels, or the silver I saved myself. This is the only amount I can help you with."

"What? One thousand taels?" Grandmother Jia looked at Tanchun in disbelief.

Then a gloomy look appeared on his face. Is this to get rid of a beggar?

Mrs. Wang stood up suddenly
“As expected, girls are extroverts. Don’t you think about how your ancestors treated you in the past? Didn’t they give you less food and drink?
I used to treat you like my legitimate daughters. You can't even say one thousand taels.

You are such an ungrateful person. You have completely taken over the property of the East Mansion, and it is only 500,000 taels."

Suddenly Xichun's face sank and she rushed out. She often ran outside with Shi Xiangyun, so she had become much more agile.

In the blink of an eye, he ran to Mrs. Wang, raised his little hand and slapped her in the face.

This voice made the entire hall completely quiet, and everyone looked at Xichun in amazement.

Xichun rubbed her little hands and frowned. She felt a little pain in her hands because she had used too much force.

There was a clear slap mark on Mrs. Wang's face. She leaned to the side, looking a little dazed.

"Humph, who do you think you are? How dare you say irresponsible things to the county lady?" Xichun said coldly.

Mrs. Wang came to her senses and screamed

"How dare you...I will kill you. I will kill you." As he said that, he stretched out his hands and grabbed Xichun's neck.

Xichun suddenly raised her hand, and a green mantis appeared in her palm, rubbing the foot blade.

A pair of eyes full of cruelty stared at Mrs. Wang.

When Mrs. Wang saw the mantis, she immediately retracted her hands and looked at it with horror.

"Little one, give her a haircut. Doesn't she like to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures?" Xichun's voice sounded lightly.

"Swoosh" the mantis instantly disappeared from Xichun's hand.

"Swish, swish, swish!" A green shadow flashed above Mrs. Wang's head.

In a breath of time, the mantis appeared in Xichun's hand again.

Xichun didn't look at it, but stared at Mrs. Wang's hair with wide eyes and expectation.

"Sha..." Mrs. Wang, who had a head full of black hair, only felt something falling on her head. She was still a little slow to react.

"Ha!" Xichun held her stomach and laughed.
The others widened their eyes and their cheeks twitched. They looked at Mrs. Wang's shiny bald head in shock, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Wang Xifeng's mouth twitched wildly as she looked at the shiny bald head.
She quickly turned around and covered her mouth, her body starting to twitch wildly. She really didn't dare to laugh out loud on the spot.

Many people were similar to Wang Xifeng, turning their backs, covering their mouths, and shrugging their shoulders.

The corners of Jia's mouth twitched. She didn't smile, but her face darkened.

This is a slap in her face, and also a slap in the face of Rongguo Mansion.
No matter what, Mrs. Wang is still the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion. How can she allow herself to be humiliated like this?

Mrs. Wang felt a chill on her head and hurriedly reached out to touch it. She froze for a moment, then looked at Xichun with a face full of resentment.
"You you..." I was so angry that I couldn't speak.

Xichun put away her smile, stroked the mantis in her hand, and said lightly:

"Just be content. If my brother were here, you would have died. Now you just lost your hair. You should be thankful."

Mrs. Wang thought of Jia Hu and shuddered all over. It seemed that what he said made sense.

She stood up tremblingly, glared at Xichun fiercely, and ran outside in embarrassment. She was too embarrassed to stay here.

Tanchun looked at Xichun helplessly.
"Fourth sister, this is a bit too much."

Xichun slowly walked to Tanchun's side, shook her head and said

"Third sister, she said it too harshly. Humph, what an ungrateful bastard.

We have sent a lot of gifts over the past three years, not every holiday, and you are still not satisfied?"

Jia's mother's face darkened, and she suddenly sighed.
"Alas, you have a backer now, and I can't control you anymore.
Go away, go away, don't come to my place anymore." She didn't expect Sanchun to change so much, and she would start fighting immediately.

They didn't even care about their ancestor, and knew it would be difficult to ask them for money.

The three springs looked at each other and stepped forward to salute.

"Grandfather, let's go back." After saying that, the three of them turned around and walked outside.

They had no intention of staying any longer and just wanted to go back as soon as possible.
