After Jiang Ningbao left the Shoujin Hall, she walked briskly back to the courtyard on the west side with the maid Chunxi who was waiting outside, ignoring the maids and wives who were sneaking at her and whispering.
Butler Zhao's visit to withdraw his marriage could not be concealed at all, and it may have spread throughout the capital by now.
"Girl, are you alright?" The maid Chun Xi carefully glanced at the girl, remembering the housekeeper Zhao from Dingguo's mansion who came to visit, she couldn't help asking worriedly.
Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly and looked at the small garden not far away. The flowers in the garden were competing for beauty. She said happily: "I'm fine."
It's really good. After being Miss Jiao for so many years, it's rare to reveal a little of her true colors, but it makes people dumbfounded. Jiang Ningbao suddenly feels relieved.
The servant girl Chunxi looked at the girl's charming smile, for some reason, a feeling of uneasiness emerged in her heart, always feeling that there was something wrong with the girl.
When she went to the big kitchen to serve lunch at noon, she realized what her girl had done, and couldn't help shivering, why was the girl so confused.
She hurried to the yard with a big food box, but saw the girl standing under an osmanthus tree in the yard, her white and soft face was full of nostalgia, like a beautiful picture scroll.
Chunxi couldn't help but walk forward with a light footstep.
"Girl, you are missing the second master and the second young lady again."
Jiang Ningbao nodded her head lightly, thinking of the altar of daughter red buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, several jars were brewed and buried together by her and her father, and sighed: "If my parents know that I have been divorced, don't you know?" How sad it would be."
Since ancient times, Jiang Ningbao has been loved by her parents.
Thinking of the scene where her parents appeared to avenge 'her' later in the book, the corners of Jiang Ningbao's mouth rose slightly. It turned out that her parents had not passed away.
What a joy to behold.
It's a pity that the book didn't reveal where the father and mother are. It only said that they were rescued, and the place was isolated from the world. Both of the father's legs were broken, and the mother lost her memory, so she couldn't go back to Changning Bo's mansion.
"Girl..." A look of distress flashed in the maidservant Chunxi's eyes. The girl is really pitiful. The second master and the second young lady have gone, without the protection of their parents, and now they have been divorced.
Jiang Ningbao glanced back at Chunxi. Chunxi was her confidant maid, who stayed by her side and never left. In the end, she helped 'her' do many vicious things and was sold to a dirty place.
"What's delicious for today's lunch?" Jiang Ningbao restrained her thoughts and asked with a smile.
The maid Chunxi hurriedly announced the name of the dish: "There are your favorite bird's nest chicken soup, eight-treasure duck, fried guinea fowl, sweet and sour short ribs, emerald jade bean cake, wishful rolls, and stir-fried vegetables."
Originally thought that the big kitchen would withhold food when it learned that the girl was divorced, but it was still the same.
Chun Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyebrows slightly, didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the house for lunch. In fact, the food can't be deducted, Jiang Ningbao doesn't care, her mother's dowry is in her hands, so there is no need to worry about food and clothing.
You can even open a small kitchen in your own yard.
It's just that Jiang Ningbao is too lazy to do this.
The dishes made in the big kitchen are delicious, as long as the quality of the meal does not decrease, it is okay to reduce the portion.
After lunch, the maid Chunxi was clearing the table. She sat on the low couch, brewed a pot of fragrant tea, stared at the osmanthus tree outside the window, and her thoughts were flying.
Speaking of her marriage contract with Xie Jingyi, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, there is no detailed description in the book, but Jiang Ningbao is very clear. To sum it up in one sentence, it is just a life-saving favor and a good relationship between the two families.
Her mother, Yang, rescued Mrs. Xie's second wife and six-year-old Xie Jingyi when she was three years old on the way back from offering incense in the temple. At that time, Xie Jingyi had not yet been adopted as a son by Duke Ding.
After the second wife of the Xie family was rescued, she learned that her mother had a three-year-old girl, and she first proposed marriage. The mother saw that Xie Jingyi was smart, smart, and good-looking, so she agreed.
The two are also well matched.
The Xie family was originally a famous family, with a big tree with deep roots and luxuriant branches, especially after the Xie family gave birth to a hereditary Dingguo Duke, it was even more famous and famous.
The Xie family's second family has quite a lot of heirs, but there are few prominent ones, and their status in the big family of the Xie family is average, but Xie Jingyi, the second son's son, is very good-looking and intelligent.
When Xie Jingyi was eight years old, she happened to be favored by Mrs. Xie. Under the witness of the clan, she was adopted by Duke Ding and became the first son of Duke Ding. object of envy.
"Being a pleasing person, damaging the reputation of the savior's daughter, and finally destroying her and her family together with the heroine, this hero is really ungrateful."
Jiang Ningbao took a sip of the tea and murmured.
But why didn't this matter be mentioned in the book, it only said that Jiang Ningbao was unwilling to resign, and stalked the male lead. No, it was mentioned before, it was Jiang Ningbao who yelled after doing vicious things to the female lead Yang Shuqing and ruined her reputation , but it was too late, the people who knew all of this, except her parents, either all passed away, or kept silent, no one believed it.
I just feel that she is randomly grabbing and biting Ding Guogong who has just inherited the title.
Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on her face. After a while, she suddenly realized, and sighed softly: "What a silly girl."
The word love is charming.
Fortunately she is not the 'her' in the book.
Jiang Ningbao, who has memories of her previous life, has a faint feeling for Xie Jingyi, her fiancé. In fact, Xie Jingyi is not the one she likes, but they have made a marriage agreement.
Unexpectedly, she found out that she was wearing a book.
Facing the dilemma of being divorced.
No one knew the excitement and joy in Jiang Ningbao's heart.
At this time, the maid Chunxi came back, carrying a basket of bright red strawberries in her hand, opened the eight-treasure bead curtain and entered the inner room, put the basket of red strawberries that had been washed clean on the low table next to the low couch, and repeated several times. Hesitating, Chunxi bit her lip, and finally couldn't help complaining.
"Girl, shopkeeper Yao just brought over a basket of strawberries, and the lady sent someone to take away half of the basket."
Shopkeeper Yao is the big shopkeeper in charge of Jiang Ningbao's mother's dowry shop.
In the past three years, he has sent fresh melons and fruits to Changningbo Mansion and Qingshan Academy every season. Unfortunately, most of the melons and fruits sent to Changningbo Mansion went into the pocket of Mrs. Zhang.
Every time Chunxi sees her, she can't help feeling distressed.
"Chunxi, don't worry about such a small matter, my aunt dare not go too far."
Jiang Ningbao chuckled, picked up a red strawberry and put it in his mouth, took a bite, and said indifferently.
The maidservant Chunxi thought about it too. In the past three years, the eldest lady has never been ignorant of all the melons and fruits sent by shopkeeper Yao, but aside from the melons and fruits, Chunxi began to worry about other things.
"Miss, the eldest lady actually indulged the servants in the mansion to gossip about the girl's divorce. It is estimated that everyone in the capital will know the news that the lady has been divorced by Dingguo."
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyes and glanced at Chunxi, with a slight smile on her delicate and soft face: "Anyway, sooner or later it will be spread, Chunxi, we have to calm down, isn't it just a divorce, it's no big deal."
The hotter the fire, the better.
Chun Xi bit her lips, feeling wronged for the girl: "But... but it's obviously not the girl's fault!"
Jiang Ningbao smiled lightly, and blinked her eyes towards Chunxi.
"Chunxi, nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, how do you know that a better fate is not in the future?"
After finishing speaking, she picked up another strawberry and ate it again. She squinted her eyes comfortably, but secretly wondered why there was no rumor that she would marry Duke Ding.
In Jiang Ningbao's opinion, Ding Guogong is many times better than the male protagonist Xie Jingyi, that ungrateful bastard. Unfortunately, he is not the male protagonist, but just a golden finger for the male protagonist. Established his position as the first male protagonist.
It's really embarrassing.
Fortunately, she has magical wine-making skills, and the wine she brews has magical properties. As long as she marries Duke Ding, she will definitely brew more medicinal wine and give it to Duke Ding. Longevity is not a problem.
In terms of slowing down, she is a professional.
A light flashed in Jiang Ningbao's eyes.
After all, Chunxi was not as optimistic as the girl. She didn't know that her girl had the audacity to say that she wanted to marry Duke Ding, otherwise she would be frightened.
"But, but the girl has been divorced, it will be difficult to talk about a good marriage in the future." Chunxi said sadly.
In particular, the person who retired was the son of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Xie Shizi.
Jiang Ningbao smiled, and a timid look unconsciously appeared between her brows, which was quite endearing.
"Chunxi, what do you think of Duke Ding?"
"When Steward Zhao came to retire today, I was so excited that I said that I wanted to marry Duke Ding. Steward Zhao agreed to go back to the mansion and report to Mrs. Xie."
Jiang Ningbao slowly threw down a big thunder.
"Girl, Ding Guogong is a good man, but... But he is not a good man, he is too dangerous, all the women who get close to him will end badly, girl, don't take it too seriously."
With a terrified face, Chunxi persuaded anxiously.
"Chun Xi, maybe Duke Ding and I are a match made in heaven, a marriage made in heaven." Looking at Chun Xi's terrified expression, Jiang Ningbao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the fragrant tea, making a joke that seemed true.
In her previous life, except for her magical brewing skills, she had no supernatural powers. No matter how dangerous she encountered in the last days, every time all her teammates died, she was lucky to be alive.
I don't know if it's her fate or luck.
In the end, all the relatives and friends around Jiang Ningbao disappeared, and she was left alone in a world full of zombies, alive and well, until the zombie king was destroyed and the world was restored, she had no desire to live. Then...he committed suicide.
Unexpectedly, he didn't die even if he committed suicide, but he was reincarnated in ancient times with his memory.
It is no longer the end of the world full of devastation and no relatives. In this life, she has parents who love her, can eat all kinds of food and brew all kinds of magical wine as she likes. Jiang Ningbao once again has the desire to live.
Isn't it a match made in heaven for a woman with such a hard life like her and Ding Guogong
There was a moment of silence in the room.
A match made in heaven...
May I ask which woman can be a match made in heaven with Duke Ding.
Chunxi took a deep breath, trying to dispel the girl's dangerous thoughts: "Girl, before you, there were so many noble girls who didn't believe in fate and eagerly approached them. Those girls were as short as one day, as long as seven days, and they all ended badly. No woman dares to approach Duke Ding."
"Girl, you can't risk yourself."
"Girl, think about the third young master. If the third young master knows about this, he will definitely worry about you."
Hearing Chun Xi mentioning her eldest brother Jiang Jin, Jiang Ningbao's face became softer, wait, why did she forget to send a book to Qingshan Academy to give to her eldest brother.
In case the eldest brother hears the rumors and gets worried, he rushes back to the house in a hurry and has no intention of preparing for the exam.
Jiang Ningbao got up suddenly and went to the desk, ignoring the anxious and worried maid Chunxi, quickly spread out the rice paper, rubbed the ink, and wrote a letter, telling him the ins and outs of the divorce and her plan, sealed it and handed it to Chunxi, and told him Said: "Chunxi, you give this letter to Shopkeeper Yao and ask him to send it to Qingshan Academy."
"Yes, girl." Chunxi thought that her persuasion had worked, secretly heaved a sigh of relief, carefully put the letter into her cuff, and hurriedly left the yard.
Not long after Chunxi left, several maidservants came to the yard, one of them was Nanny Yang, who was the confidant of Mrs. Zhang.
Nanny Yang bowed to Jiang Ningbao with a blank expression.
"Fourth Miss, Madam ordered the servant to send you a book. I hope you will copy it carefully. Be careful with your words and deeds in the future, and you must never contradict your elders again."
After finishing speaking, a maid respectfully handed over a book she was holding.
Jiang Ningbao took the book and looked at it, only to see two big characters written on the book: Female Commandment!
Is the eldest aunt asking her to copy the female commandments
Jiang Ningbao stuffed the maid back into the maid's hand without haste, and refused in a soft voice: "Nurse Yang, you can bring this maid back, I don't need it."
Yes, she doesn't need such a thing as a female commandment.
It's ridiculous that the eldest aunt wants to beat her with a female ring.
Nanny Yang's expression darkened, and she could not refuse to take the female commandment from the handmaiden and forcefully stuff it into Jiang Ningbao's arms, and said indifferently: "Miss Si, this is the order of the eldest lady."
"Hiss..."
Jiang Ningbao tore up the Women's Admonitions book that was forced on the spot, and the torn paper fell to the ground.
