Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Changningbo Mansion.
Jiang Ningbao and Ding Guogong got out of the carriage, and the handsome face of the elder brother came into view. Jiang Ningbao took Ding Guogong's hand and greeted him happily.
"Brother, I'm back."
On the day of returning home, Jiang Ningbao deliberately wore a long white cherry blossom dress, which was pure and charming with a hint of the charm of a new wife, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
Looking at Ningbao's ruddy face and happy smiling face, Jiang Jin knew that Ningbao had lived a happy life in Dingguo's mansion for the past three days. The hanging heart fell to the ground, showing a smile, and said dotingly.
"We're all married, still like a child."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Jin looked at the tall and handsome Duke Ding, and calmly called, "Brother-in-law."
Duke Ding Xie Heng nodded slightly: "Brother."
Jiang Ningbao felt happy when he saw Dingguo Gong solemnly calling his uncle, brother, brother, who was ten years younger than him, and couldn't help laughing.
Duke Ding Xie Heng glanced sideways at his young wife.
Jiang Ningbao quickly put away her smile, only Jiang Jin, who knew Jiang Ningbao quite well since she was a child, gave her a speechless glance.
Jiang Zhuo, the hall brother who came to welcome Jiang Ningbao together, froze slightly, and he didn't expect that the fourth sister would ignore him, the hall brother, in front of everyone.
Jiang Zhuo thought of his father, mother, grandmother and others who were waiting in the lobby early, and saw that the fourth younger sister was only talking to the third younger brother, for fear that he would lead people to the west courtyard. Grandpa, Fourth Sister, it's not convenient to talk at the door, let's talk in the mansion."
Jiang Zhuo thought about it, but finally he still didn't dare to call Ding Guogong's fourth brother-in-law.
Duke Ding nodded slightly, and Jiang Ningbao glanced at the respectful elder brother indifferently, and walked into the gate holding Duke Ding's arm, and the guards in black behind brought them back to the door and entered Changning Bo's mansion in a mighty manner.
From time to time, Jiang Zhuo's eyes glanced at the copper boxes carried by the black-clothed bodyguards, and he was secretly happy that the fourth sister's return home gift should be very generous.
Thinking that this return ceremony would fall to the eldest room, Jiang Zhuo couldn't help showing a hint of excitement on his face.
When the group walked halfway, Jiang Ningbao suddenly stopped, and smiled and told the black-clothed guards: "Bring the return ceremony to the west courtyard."
Jiang Jin was not surprised by her sister's behavior at all.
What Dafang did made the brothers and sisters feel chilled.
Ningbao will definitely not let them take advantage again.
Jiang Zhuo's smiling face froze: "Fourth sister, this is against the rules."
Jiang Ningbao raised her small face, and stared directly at Duke Ding with watery eyes.
"Carry it to the west courtyard."
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng said quietly without even looking at Jiang Zhuo.
Jiang Zhuo couldn't even squeeze out a smile now, and almost gritted his white teeth, but he didn't dare to challenge Duke Ding's majesty, so he could only suppress the unwillingness in his heart.
But secretly hated Jiang Ningbao for embarrassing Dafang on purpose.
Jiang Ningbao looked at the change on the big hall brother's face with a smile that was not a smile, the person in the big room didn't even pay a dowry, and he wanted her return gift, he was so beautiful.
Her return gift was for her eldest brother.
When they arrived at the lobby of the main courtyard, Jiang Ningbao and Ding Guogong went in and found Mrs. Jiang, Uncle Changning, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. in the lobby, second cousin and Jiang Mingyao were all inside.
It's just that there was a hint of reluctance in the smiles on their faces. Apparently, someone had told them about sending the return ceremony to the West Courtyard.
Duke Ding's indifferent and sharp eyes, and his aggressive aura made everyone present dare not show any dissatisfaction.
As the grandson-in-law of the Changning House, Ding Guogong did not salute those who had treated Ning Bao in the Changning House.
Mrs. Jiang and the others did not dare to object.
Jiang Ningbao saluted politely.
Mrs. Jiang looked at the elegant and charming fourth granddaughter, her eyes fell on the familiar ruby bracelet on her wrist, her eyes flickered, and she showed a kind smile.
"I heard that Duke Ding is no different from ordinary people now. Seeing him today, the rumors are true." Mrs. Jiang glanced at Duke Ding as she said.
Duke Ding, who has no evil spirit, is tall and handsome, with a stern and majestic face, and a sharp and sharp aura around him. Just standing there makes people dare not look directly at him.
Mrs. Jiang could only lament the good luck of her fourth granddaughter in her heart.
Jiang Ningbao pursed her lips and smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Grandma's news is really well-informed."
Mrs. Jiang took a sip of her tea, and looked at her fourth granddaughter with a strange look in her eyes: "This news has spread throughout the entire capital, how can I not know it?"
"Nowadays, people all over the capital are saying that the fourth girl is a blessed person."
As soon as this rumor came out, all the girls in Changning Bo's mansion rose, and even Jiang Mingyao, who was about to get married, also benefited.
Mrs. Jiang was quite happy about this.
Jiang Ningbao smiled lightly, exuding an air of alienation all over her body: "It's just a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence, it's all thanks to you."
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng glanced at his little wife with a burning gaze, and his tone was uncompromising.
Mrs. Jiang gave a dry laugh, and could only echo a few words.
Jiang Mingyao glanced at the fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law enviously, feeling the tacit and harmonious relationship between the two, and looking forward to her future married life a little more.
Mrs. Zhang wrung the handkerchief in her hand, and her whole body was filled with black air.
With the words of the Duke of the State, it is really confirmed that Jiang Ningbao is a blessed person. In the future, Jiang Ningbao's position in the Dingguo Palace will only be strengthened and unshakable.
The more brilliant the second bedroom person is, the more jealous Zhang feels.
Why are Yang's children so outstanding.
But when she thought of her plan, Zhang sneered in her heart, so what if she married the Duke of the State, a wife who can't lay eggs will suffer a lot in the future.
Rumors of good luck at that time are just a joke.
The corner of Jiang Jin's mouth curled into a small arc. With Ding Guogong here, he can also prepare for the exam at Qingshan Academy with peace of mind.
The following chats were always bumpy, because Ding Guogong always ended the topic halfway.
Jiang Ningbao saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart.
Until noon came, Uncle Changning and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't wait for people to serve food. After lunch, they could send the Buddha Dingguo away.
After some conversation, they already understood Duke Ding's attitude.
It seems that there is no benefit at all.
Not to mention the plans that had been discussed long ago, all of them were stillborn.
Chang Ningbo and others were very dissatisfied.
When eating at noon, the men and women are separated.
Jiang Ningbao's identity is Mrs. Guogong, sitting on the left of Mrs. Jiang, and on the right is Mrs. Zhang, who is facing Jiang Ningbao, and Jiang Mingyao and Mrs. Zhang are sitting on the bottom.
After the dishes were served, Jiang Ningbao glanced at the several dishes placed in front of her, and frowned, she smelled a very faint familiar smell, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.
She squinted her eyes, and looked up at Mrs. Zhang across the table, and found that after seeing the dishes in front of her, Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed a faint excitement and malice.
Jiang Ningbao felt a chill in her heart, it seemed that these dishes were written by Mrs. Zhang.
The two nuns who taught Jiang Ningbao once told her about the unpredictable calculations and assassinations in the backyard, especially for women in ancient backyards, once they were unable to have children, the rest of their lives would be ruined.
Therefore, the two nuns have also put in great efforts in teaching this aspect.
No wonder Mrs. Zhang didn't say much before, so she was waiting for her here.
I really don't know where Mrs. Zhang got the secret recipe. If the two nuns hadn't told her about this secret recipe of using food to sterilize people, and even went to the kitchen to make it for her to experience, she really couldn't see Mrs. Zhang. assassination.
Such a secret recipe is extremely rare and secret, and the two nuns also accidentally learned that someone should use Zhang's hand to prevent her from having a child.
The thoughts of the people behind it are extremely vicious.
The first person Jiang Ningbao suspected was Yang Shuqing, but after thinking about it, besides Yang Shuqing, there are other people hiding in the dark and staring at the Duke.
It is easy to attract people's attention.
This behind-the-scenes person is very good at picking time. When she returns home, it is indeed the best opportunity to strike, especially for a declining noble family like the Changningbo Mansion, it is easy to take advantage of loopholes.
Unfortunately, this calculation is doomed to fail.
As early as the two nuns told her the secret recipe, Jiang Ningbao specially brewed a medicinal wine, which was specially used to treat female sterilization, but she didn't expect to use it so soon.
"Miss Si, try these dishes. They are the skills of the new chef in the mansion. I heard that the dishes made by this chef are very delicious." A pretty maid served Jiang Ningbao respectfully. The dishes happen to be the first few.
"Really, I'll try it."
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyebrows slightly, and took a few mouthfuls calmly. It was really delicious. Adding the flower powder that can increase the deliciousness of the dishes, it was so delicious that even the tongue wanted to swallow it.
“Extremely delicious.”
Jiang Ningbao sincerely praised it, but it's a pity that ordinary people are not blessed to accept it.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Jiang Ningbao eating these dishes, excitement flashed across her eyes.
It worked.
"Grandmother, uncle, sister-in-law, fifth sister, these dishes are the most delicious dishes I have ever eaten, even better than imperial meals. The new chef in the house is really skilled. You should try it too." Jiang Ningbao She raised her eyes and showed a smile to the opposite Zhang Shi, and ordered a maid to bring four small bowls to fill the dishes.
I don't know if Mrs. Jiang knew about it except Mrs. Zhang, so Jiang Ningbao decided to test it out.
"No need, just a few common dishes, Si girl, eat more if you like." Mrs. Zhang couldn't wait to interrupt Jiang Ningbao's words, a trace of tension flashed in her eyes.
Mrs. Jiang frowned, her expression was strange. There was a chef who was recruited in the mansion yesterday, but Mrs. Jiang had never eaten his dishes, so she couldn't help asking suspiciously.
"Si girl, do you think the food in front of you is better than the imperial meal?"
"Yes, grandma can try it." Jiang Ningbao said with a smile, and the possibility that Mrs. Jiang knew about it had already been ruled out in her heart.
Mrs. Jiang's curiosity was aroused, and she ordered someone to fill a small bowl. The aroma of this dish was not strong, but after taking a bite, Mrs. Jiang's eyes immediately widened, and her eyes were full of surprise. Dishes are eaten up.
"It's really delicious, you should try it too, I didn't expect the new chef to have such good cooking skills."
Jiang Ningbao smiled.
Now let's see what Zhang does.
The old uncle has passed away long ago, and Mrs. Jiang is also getting old, this dish has no effect on her.
If Mrs. Zhang had no choice, Jiang Ningbao would not really let Jiang Mingyao and Mrs. in the lobby eat these dishes. She was not that crazy, but she was just trying to scare her aunt Mrs. Zhang.
When Zhang's expression changed, she broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness. This dish cannot be eaten, no matter how delicious it is, she cannot cheat Yao'er and her pregnant eldest daughter-in-law.
"Mother, the chef is already in our house. Yao'er and the others can eat it anytime. Today is the day when Si Yatou returns home. Since those dishes are so delicious and the portions are not large, why don't we let Si Yatou eat them alone. "
After Mrs. Zhang bit the bullet and finished speaking, she had already decided in her heart to get rid of the chef after Ding Guogong and the fourth girl left, so as not to be caught in time.
Mrs. Jiang frowned, a trace of unswervingness flashed across her face.
What's going on with Zhang's, it's the first time she has eaten such a delicious dish, how can she let the fourth girl enjoy it alone.
