Chapter 172 partial favor

Minghua raised his eyebrows, called the servant in the front hall of Nanyang Pavilion, handed him the food box, and said very kindly: "The man in charge must be exhausted when he works in the front hall every day. This is the reward our princess specifically instructs you to give you. Now, the weather is still a little hot, so why not put down the work you have at hand first and go to the back hall to rest?"

The servant was a little unexpected and trembled with the food box handed over by Minghua. His nose felt sore and he bent down to thank him: "Thank you, the princess and the girl Minghua for sympathizing. I am grateful to the princess for her great kindness!"

Minghua returned a gift and took Peiling back to the master bedroom.

At this moment, in Cao's yard, Jiang Chengjia, with three or two maids, was waiting outside the house for Cao to change clothes and wash and get up for lunch.

Biyun stood in front of the house, bowed to Jiang, who was standing respectfully in front of her, and then smiled warmly: "I heard from the servant... The woman was busy in the East Kitchen all morning. It was really not easy. You still had injuries on your body, so you shouldn't be so tired."

Jiang Chengjia bowed and replied, "Thank you for your care. Yesterday... The lord brought me a golden sore medicine for me, and I used it for three uses. The injury on my body has healed a lot. It's not a big deal now. I thought that my mother has been sick for the past two days and has a bad appetite, so I made a tea meal and wanted to adjust my spleen and stomach for my mother. A few days ago, I was the wrong person as my daughter-in-law, which made my mother sick. This is really my fault. Today I am coming to apologize to my mother."

Seeing that her expression today was not as tired and pale as the previous few days, she had a little rosy complexion. She thought that because Junhou went to the North Courtyard yesterday, she was also happy for her, so she nodded and said, "Madam, wash up a little slower, please wait patiently."

Jiang Chengjia responded and continued to stand in the corridor waiting. Biyun opened the door of the house, walked in, closed the door, entered the inner room and took Madam Cao to wash it off.

The group stood in front of the house for unknown long time, and the sun at the top was also a little tired of occupying the high position and gradually moved to the west.

Jiang Chengjia had already stood sweating all over. After just coming out of the East Kitchen, he had already returned to the North Courtyard to change his clothes. Now, after a long time ago, his body began to sweat again, and his robe was stuck, and he even seeped out of the outer robe through the gauze.

Qianshan stood behind her and saw it, and immediately said with some concern: "Girl...why should we go to the corridor to wait? It's hot, so you sweat like this, be careful to infect the wounds behind you..."

Jiang Chengjia had already had a fine sweat on his forehead, and the scorching pain in the wounds behind her made her originally rosy face pale again.

She held back and said to Qianshan softly: "It's not a big deal. The kitchen room in the East Kitchen is hotter than outside. I stayed there all morning and got through it. Since I came to apologize to my mother, I shouldn't think that the sun was poisonous. Three days ago, I made my mother sick and failed to apologize to my mother in time due to injuries. Now I naturally have to be punished."

She knew that Cao was reluctant to open the door and welcomed her in because she was washing and changing clothes.

Their group stood for three incense sticks, and for half an hour, this time was enough to make Cao change his clothes and take medicine. But now Cao refused to open the door and refused to ask Biyun to say it, which was a punishment.

After all, three days ago, she was indeed wrong in the quarrel. Li Xiangjun was a foreign family member. Although she was also a Madam Cao called her aunt and had a distant relative, she was not her own family member. Naturally, Cao did not blame her. What's more, she was a princess in a county. With the care of the younger generation for her elders and years of friendship, she served Cao's illness. She stayed up all day and night and was tired and sick. Mrs. Cao couldn't say that she was wrong again.

But this matter must always have a source. If it is not found out, it may be difficult to convince the people in the mansion. All disputes have cause and effect. As the queen of the Huaiyin Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Chengjia not only did not fulfill the duties of the mother of the mansion, but instead fought with outsiders. Even if there were so many twists and turns, it was only the fault of the mother of the mansion. It was because she had never adhered to the principles of etiquette and music and treated the guests well. It was because she had never restrained herself and had a willful act, and she was so angry that she had a big fuss with the customers. This was because she was tragic.

Cao regards her as her own child and as the queen of this mansion. Now she deliberately keeps her out of the door as a punishment. If she is proud and arrogant, she will inevitably make the whole mansion rebellious and hate her. Although the servants do not speak, she will cause more worries when she takes charge of the affairs of the mansion in the future. She will not be able to discipline her servants and lose her prestige. But if she knows her mistake and corrects, the situation will be very different.

Today, she personally made a meal and sent it to the South Courtyard with the intention of apologizing for a while. Since she had been working hard for a whole morning, Jiang Chengjia didn't care about standing in the courtyard for an hour in front of the lie sun, to show her etiquette and sincerity as a wife and daughter-in-law.

Jiang Chengjia was not anxious, but Qianshan was anxious to see it, fearing that her girl would get colder and hotter and would not get sick again.

The master and servant stood in front of the sun for a while, then Biyun slowly opened the door and walked towards the yard with Yingying's steps: "Let the lady wait for a long time. The lady has finished washing and is calling you in."

Jiang Chengjia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Biyun. Just as he was about to go in, he saw Biyun's eyes sweeping at Qianshan and Xiaocui who were following her. So he paused, thought for three points, and turned to Qianshan and said, "We have been waiting outside for a while. I'm afraid the soup cakes and tea meals will be cold. Take Xiaocui with Aunt Biyun to the kitchen of the South Courtyard to warm the meal, so there is no need to be too hot."

Although Qianshan was dull for a moment, she quickly understood what she meant. She was afraid that Mrs. Cao had something to say to her alone, so she ordered Aunt Biyun to come out and send them away, so she bowed and said, "Here." She took Xiao Cui with Biyun to the small kitchen to the east with Biyun.

Jiang Chengjia took a deep breath in the yard, then walked into the room with her skirt.

In the spacious inner lie across a whole phoenix flower and green screen. When I entered the house, a strong smell of medicine came, and the smell was even a little rushing. Jiang Chengjia walked around the screen and walked in.

Cao leaned leaning against the long table on the short mattress on the side of the couch. He was half-sleeping and half-sleeping. His white cheeks did not show any sign of old age under the decades of maintenance.

"Son, please give me my mother." Jiang Chengjia slowly walked to her side, slowly bowed and woke up Cao, who was coming out of the gods.

"Come?" Cao turned around, sat upright, gently placed one arm on the low table next to him, and looked at Jiang Chengjia with a gentle smile.

"Yes." Jiang Chengjia smiled and answered obediently.

"After standing for so long, can you feel uncomfortable?" Cao asked with concern.

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable." Jiang Chengjia replied casually.

Cao waved to her, then patted the mat on the right side of her and said, "Sit."

Jiang Chengjia nodded slightly and bowed again. Only then did he reach the other side of the low table and sat down properly.

Cao's face showed a loving smile, and he pulled her hand on his knees over, put it in his palm, and asked in a warm voice: "I asked you to stand in the yard for so long... Are you blaming me?"

Jiang Chengjiaqian replied: "Mother does this, so there is your reason... I know it in my heart."

Cao raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what do you know clearly?"

"Son knows... the quarrel that many days ago was the one who made a mistake, just because the son was the master's house, and Mrs. Xiang was just a Hakka. But in order to show off her verbal pleasure, the son argued with her... and also caused disagreement with her, which made the king and the whole mansion panic." Jiang Chengjia quickly found out his mistake and sincerely admitted the mistake. He looked at Cao carefully with his eyes, and clasped his hands tightly.

Cao smiled softly and said, "What you said... are what you should bear as a woman in the house. But my original intention of letting you stand in the courtyard for a long time... is not these."

Jiang Chengjia was stunned and did not react.

Seeing that she was still puzzled, Cao said softly: "I'm not angry about you these days, but about you. Since I've argued with her, why not understand the matter?"

Jiang Chengjia said in confusion: "Mother's words...the daughter-in-law doesn't understand...If you understand the argument... wouldn't it be... to lose face from Nanyang Pavilion. If Mrs. Xiang can't come to Taiwan, it's hard for the lord to be a man."

Unexpectedly, when Cao heard her mention Ning Nanyou, his face immediately became dark and he said angrily: "He and Jun'er are not clear about it, and the ambiguous relationship is his fault. Besides, I know that the incident three days ago was not caused by you, but Jun'er had some tricks... I want to make you lose face in front of the house, and to make you lose face in front of me."

When Jiang Chengjia heard that Cao was protecting himself openly and secretly, he couldn't help but laugh.

Cao said earnestly: "I know... there are three reasons why you didn't want to argue with her later. One is that you think it's useless to argue. The young master surnamed Zhou, who is a comrade with Zhaoyuan, believes that you are going to Zhaoyuan's study to tamper with him; the other is that he thinks that Jun'er is a guest and always has to keep a little face; the third is that he feels that because you are unconscious, I am so anxious that I am afraid that I will continue to argue and make me faint again. However, A Luo... You are the one in this mansion, you are the mistress, and you should show some of the aura of the mistress. She, Li Xiangjun, dares to bully the master with a guest, but it is her fault. No matter what her relationship with Zhaoyuan is, it is not a reason to bully you."

These extremely earnest words made Jiang Chengjia’s nose feel sore and a little bitter. In addition to the grievances and sadness buried in these days, the heart was more moved.
