Autumn is approaching, and the capital is becoming more and more lively.
After Jiang Ningbao settled down, she began to care about the diet and health of her elder brother Jiang Jin. The exam lasted nine days, and the weather in August was still hot. How could he do without a strong body in the sweltering exam room for nine days.
These days, with the permission of Duke Ding, she brewed a batch of chrysanthemum wine. She specially endowed them with the effect of calming the mind and strengthening the body.
Before the chrysanthemum wine was brewed, Emperor Qianyuan in the palace ordered two large jars, and Jiang Ningbao divided the rest into three portions, the larger portion was kept in the mansion, and the rest was given to the eldest brother and uncle.
"Chunxi, have you sent all the chrysanthemum wine to the elder brother? Is the servant next to the elder brother serving the elder brother wholeheartedly? I wonder if the chef I sent over is satisfied with the elder brother?" After that, he immediately put down the porcelain bowl and asked with concern.
Chun Xi quickly smiled and said: "Madam, everything is fine, young master. The young master will drink up the nourishing soup and water that the chef cooks every day. The young master said that the chef you sent will make him fat, and the young master will return it to you." Let this servant bring you a message, telling you to pay more attention to your body and not worry about his affairs."
Hearing Chunxi's answer, Jiang Ningbao smiled warmly, feeling very pleased with himself, with joy in the corners of his brows and eyes, and picked up the porcelain bowl to drink up the remaining bird's nest with chicken juice.
"Ma'am, on the way back, I saw that the officials had gone to Jiang's house to arrest someone. I inquired about it. It is said that the second young master of Jiang's family committed the crime." Chunxi hesitated for a moment, and then talked about the Jiang family's first wife.
Jiang Ningbao was taken aback, did Jiang Yue commit a crime
But thinking about Jiang Yue's temperament, the possibility of committing a crime is indeed high. In the past, the uncle's house was in charge, but now, her second wife, Mrs. Dingguo, has broken off the relationship with the first wife of the Jiang family, and the title of the uncle's house has also been taken away. After going back, the Jiang family's big house is an ordinary wealthy family at the foot of the capital.
Jiang Shuyan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, is concentrating on raising a baby in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and hopes to use this baby to make a comeback. Everyone knows this news, so no one will give the eldest son of the Jiang family any face.
"What did he do?" Jiang Ningbao saw that Chunxi's expression was wrong, and his eyes sank slightly.
"Jiang Ershao and the son of the official servant's family fought over a brothel girl. Jiang Ershao broke the head of the official servant's son. I heard that there was a lot of blood, and he is still unconscious."
"I heard that Second Young Master Jiang was very arrogant when he beat someone. He even used his wife's name, saying that he had his wife behind him when he beat someone to death."
Chunxi told about Jiang Yue's crime in full detail, and her face was extremely ugly. If it wasn't for this, she would not have told his wife about Jiang Yue's first wife.
"What, Second Young Master Jiang is really shameless. His wife has already broken off the relationship with the first wife of the Jiang family, yet he still uses his wife's name to run amok." Chun Le's pleasing face was full of anger.
"Yeah, it's really shameless. Fortunately, the news of our wife's divorce from Mrs. Jiang's family has already been spread, otherwise, wouldn't my wife's reputation be stained." Chunxi's face was full of rejoicing.
Jiang Ningbao didn't expect that the big house of the Jiang family, who had been quiet for a long time, would just make trouble if it didn't, and it would become so big when it happened, her pretty face suddenly darkened, thinking of Mrs. Jiang, she squinted her eyes, always having a bad feeling.
"Don't pay attention to this in advance, we don't know."
Jiang Ningbao didn't have the time to care about the eldest son of the Jiang family. Jiang Yue himself had the audacity to risk his life, so it's fine to let him stay in prison.
Chunxi and Chunle nodded quickly.
They also don't want the Jiang family to stick to it.
When eating with Ding Guogong at noon, Jiang Ningbao told Ding Guogong about Jiang Yue while eating the tender fish with the fine bones removed.
The corner of Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's mouth curled slightly, and he picked up chopsticks for his little wife's favorite dish, and said in a low voice: "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials came over this morning and told me about it."
If you dare to tarnish your little wife's reputation, you have to bear the consequences.
A smile flashed in Jiang Ningbao's eyes: "Grandpa, well done."
So when Chunxi saw that the official sent to Jiang's house to arrest Jiang Yue, he had a little relationship with Ding Guogong, and he probably got Ding Guogong's permission. In fact, Jiang Yue and the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials fought for a girl in a brothel. .
No one has been killed in this matter so far, but it can be big or small.
But Jiang Yue is just a white body, and the son of the servant who was beaten has the reputation of a scholar, and the servant can justly avenge his son.
Jiang Ningbao sweetly ate the dishes Dingguogong put, and suddenly thought of that bad feeling, stopped eating, and couldn't help asking: "Guogonggong, what should I do if grandma comes to ask for mercy?"
A thought just flashed in her mind, if the Jiang family could bleed heavily... You must know that a large amount of wealth accumulated by the Jiang family came from her father's business.
The brothers and sisters broke off with the eldest of the Jiang family, and only took away what their parents had left them, and the rest was swallowed by the eldest.
If Mrs. Jiang really came to ask for help, she decided to make the eldest of the Jiang family bleed profusely.
Duke Ding glanced at Ningbao, and did not ignore the change in her expression. A smile flashed in his eyes: "Ningbao, no matter what you do, I will support you."
He believes that Ning Bao has a sense of proportion and will never do anything that embarrasses him.
"Grandpa, is Jiang Yue's crime big or small?" Jiang Ningbao asked with a smile as he picked up a piece of crispy roast duck for Duke Ding.
Dingguo nodded slightly, understood Ningbao's thoughts, and said lightly: "If no one takes care of it, he will probably stay in prison for a year. If someone takes care of it, he will be released in a few days."
"The premise is that the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will wake up." If he fails to wake up, it is a life, and Jiang Yue will definitely pay for his life with his life.
After finishing speaking, Duke Ding ate the crispy roast duck in Jiang Ningbao's folder.
Jiang Ningbao understood the meaning of Dingguogong's words, and talked about his plan with Dingguogong.
"That's it, Grandpa, if grandma comes to ask for help, how about I let the Jiang family bleed hard when the son of the official minister wakes up?"
"You can do whatever you want."
Duke Ding did not object.
Jiang Ningbao showed a bright smile: "Although I am not short of money, if I have the opportunity to get this money, I will donate it to the charity hall."
Jiang Ningbao would rather donate the money than let the murderer use the large sum of money her father earned to live a rich and luxurious life. As long as Mrs. Jiang came to ask for help, she would have a way to make the Jiang family bleed.
"Grandpa, can you help me find out how much money the Jiang family has?" Jiang Ningbao narrowed her eyes slightly, she must hurt the Jiang family this time.
Duke Ding agreed without hesitation.
Jiang Ningbao put his mind to rest, and continued to have a sweet lunch with Duke Ding. After lunch, he sat on the bed for two days. Duke Ding picked up an enlightenment book and began to read to Jiang Ningbao's slightly protruding belly.
The voice was deep and pleasant, and Jiang Ningbao fell asleep after listening to it.
Duke Dingguo closed the book, picked up a thin quilt and covered Jiang Ningbao's body, gently stroked her abdomen with his big hand, bowed his head and placed a soft kiss on her lips, and then closed his eyes to rest beside her.
When Jiang Ningbao woke up, it was not surprising to find that Dingguo had left. Chunxi and Chunxi saw his wife woke up, and hurriedly helped her wash up. After washing up, Jiang Ningbao saw Huang Nanny bringing chicken soup.
Even though Jiang Ningbao is pregnant, her schedule is still regular.
Grandma Huang counted the time and brought over the chicken soup stewed in the big kitchen.
After Jiang Ningbao drank the delicious chicken soup, he was flipping through the story book boredly, when he heard a servant sent by Housekeeper Zhao say that Mrs. Jiang's maid, Hong Xing, had arrived.
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyebrows and put down the notebook in her hand. Mrs. Jiang didn't come in person. Could it be that she is still waiting for her to go to Jiang's house in person
A cold look flashed across Jiang Ningbao's eyes.
"Let her come here."
Hong Xing came to the main hall of Duke Ding's mansion in a regular manner, and saluted respectfully to the beautiful woman in the high position: "My maidservant has seen Mrs. Duke."
The fourth girl is still the same as before she got married, her appearance is more beautiful and charming than before, and her every frown and smile are so elegant that people can't take their eyes off them.
"Hong Xing, what did grandma ask you to come here?" Jiang Ningbao glanced at the respectful Hong Xing, and spoke lightly, without any fluctuations in his tone.
Hong Xing replied humbly: "If you go back to Mrs. Madam, the old lady will send her servants to ask Madam to save the second young master." To be honest, she really has no idea.
The elder of the Jiang family murdered the second master and his wife, and now he is begging for help, Hong Xing's face is burning badly.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes flickered, and he didn't ask what Jiang Yue had committed, and said lightly: "Go back and tell grandma that Jiang Yue's crime is not small. If the son of the servant of the official department does not wake up, he must pay for his life with his life. The meaning of the Duke."
"If you wake up and want to rescue someone, you need a lot of money, otherwise you will have to wait for Jiang Yue to suffer in prison, maybe you will lose your hands and legs..."
Ginger Ningbao is as good as it gets.
Hong Xing is smart, she smiled wryly in her heart, and sure enough, the news of the second young master being taken away reached the fourth girl's ears, and she knew that the fourth girl would never help the big house easily, and hearing what the fourth girl said, the Jiang family was probably about to bleed .
At this time, the Jiang family has no room to bargain.
Hong Xing hurriedly said: "My servant has memorized the words of Mrs. Guogong, and I will tell the old lady truthfully. I don't know how much money I need to prepare. Please give me an accurate number from Mrs. Guogong."
Jiang Ningbao looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Wait until the son of the official minister wakes up, I will send someone to tell grandma, you go back first."
Hong Xing's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes, the servant will leave."
After Hongxing went back, she told the old lady what Jiang Ningbao said truthfully. How could the old lady not understand the hidden meaning of Jiang Ningbao's words, and her face turned pale with anger.
"A lowly girl with no dignity, I don't believe that I came to the door in person, and she dared to ask me for money."
Hong Xing poured the old lady a cup of calming tea, and said with a bitter face: "Old lady, calm down, Mrs. Guogong said, the premise of all this is that the son of the official minister wakes up."
Mrs. Jiang's complexion suddenly changed.
Yes, the premise of all this is that the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials wakes up.
Perhaps it was Jiang Yue's life that should not be terminated. In the evening of that day, the son of the servant of the official department woke up, and the servant who had been sending someone to watch the news of the servant's mansion hurriedly told the old lady the news.
Jiang Dongming, the elder of the Jiang family, heaved a sigh of relief, this time he will be saved.
The same is true for Mrs. Jiang, she decided to go to the Dingguo Mansion tomorrow, but she didn't believe that dead girl Jiang Ningbao dared to ask her for money.
