Pingxin doesn't know what the concubine should eat, what the wife should eat, but she knows that the food delivered every day is becoming more and more plain, she also asked, the other side of the kitchen said that Jiangxi is short of harvest this year , so there is less food to eat.
But when she told Zhu Yurun the reason, Little Fatty Zhu, who had always been considered stupid by Ji Man, couldn't help but look at her with a look of stupidity: "Jiangxi owes money, and it's the same as the wife of the general's mansion in the capital." Does the meal matter?"
Jiangxi is at least a thousand miles away from here.
She was at a loss, she didn't know.
"You are being bullied!" The little fat man said with righteous indignation: "No matter how much the people in my house bully me, they dare not deduct my food, you majestic princess, why do you want people to eat less? !"
Less food is more serious than anything else!
He stared blankly at Zhu Yurun with his heart in his arms, and nodded with a vague understanding. Zhu Yunrun pulled her up and said, "Go to your judge who is in charge here!"
Naturally, Luo Qi is in charge, and all the expenses of the backyard are in her hands, and she doesn't care about holding her heart.
But Luo Qi has managed the backyard for many years, even if Zhu Yurun adds a heart, it is not enough.
"Recently, Jiangxi has a shortage of harvests. For the sake of the general's reputation, I have already reduced the expenses of the mansion. The extra money and food are sent to disaster relief in the name of the general, which is also to accumulate blessings for the general." Luo Qi said.
Holding the heart thought it made sense, he nodded again and again: "You did the right thing."
Zhu Yurun felt that the goblin in front of her was beyond her ability to deal with it, and she had to go to Mr. Ji for help.
"Disaster relief?" Ji Man listened and smiled: "It's the court's disaster relief, and it's General Ning's turn to reduce the cost of the backyard? Her words are only useful to lie to you."
"Then what should we do?" Zhu Yurun said anxiously: "Holding your heart is too stupid, and you still think Luo Qi is doing the right thing."
Ji Man took a deep look at Zhu Yurun, and said in a low voice: "How easy it is to solve this matter, let Ping Xin praise Luo Qi when she sees General Ning, and praise that she will think about the General and know how to reduce the cost of the backyard Come to make a name for the general, how do you think General Ning will react?"
Zhu Yunrun didn't understand, but he went back and said it to his heart.
Pin Xin did as Ji Man said, and when Ning Mingjie came back to her yard at night, Pin Xin asked softly, "Is there any trouble in Jiangxi recently?"
"Well, locust plague." Ning Mingjie raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "How do you know?"
Holding her heart and nodding: "Listen to what Luo Qi said, she is really a good person who thinks about the general. When she heard that there was a disaster in Jiangxi, she reduced the expenses of the backyard and saved a lot of money and food. She planned to send it to Jiangxi for disaster relief in the name of the general. Good luck."
Ning Mingjie's expression changed: "Did she say that?"
"Yes." He nodded with his heart in his arms.
Standing up abruptly, Ning Mingjie flicked his sleeves and walked out. It was only then that Baoxin realized that the same thing had to be told the truth in this way in order to have the result she wanted. If she came to sue today and said that Luo Qi had withheld her meals, she might be bitten back.
Ji Shi is really too clever.
Patting her head, she quickly followed.
Pushing open the door and entering Luo Qi's yard, Luo Qi was about to go to bed, when she saw Ning Mingjie, her eyes lit up: "General!"
Immediately when he saw the holding heart behind him, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"You reduced the cost of the backyard to provide disaster relief for Jiangxi?" Ning Mingjie asked directly.
Luo Qi was taken aback, she didn't expect that Ping Xin would seriously file a complaint. Doesn't she still think she's doing a good job? It's really two-faced and three-handed.
But she thinks this matter is justified, so what if the general knows about it
"My concubine really thinks so. The backyard costs too much, so it's better to save it..."
"Ridiculous!" Ning Mingjie said with a dark face: "The disaster relief is managed by the imperial court. If you go in my name, it will not benefit me, but it will also provoke people's tongues. There are only three of you in the backyard, no matter how much you spend. It's not too big, and it's better to treat the people in the yard well than to do something smart."
Luo Qi was stunned.
"Not every woman is suitable to help meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty. You should take care of your son and manage the backyard well."
After Ning Mingjie finished speaking, he turned and left with his heart in his arms.
Holding the heart couldn't help but look back, Ning Mingjie's last sentence was a bit heavy, and she didn't understand what it meant. It's just that Luo Qi didn't know why her face was pale, as if she had been hit with a stick so hard that she almost couldn't stand still.
Luo Qi was really obedient for a while, but Ning Jinxing grew up day by day, and needed more and more time for Ning Mingjie's company. Bao Xin waited and waited in the yard every day, but he couldn't wait for that person to come.
"His heart has many, many shares, for the women in the yard, for his son, and finally for me." Holding his heart gestured to Zhu Yurun, "I really wanted him to be mine alone, but I told myself I couldn't do that. Selfish."
Zhu Yurun looked at Luo Qi and nodded: "Many times I have the same thoughts, but Mr. Ji said that if you want too many things in this place, you will make things difficult for yourself. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not everyone will Just like the current Lord Hou, he wants to live with one person wholeheartedly. If you are the most important thing in his heart, it's worth it."
After thinking for a long time, he nodded.
However, she couldn't even get the most important position in his heart.
Usually after dinner, a maid would bring a cup of tea, but today she took it with her heart but didn't drink it. All she could think about was Ning Mingjie, and after thinking about it, his face really appeared in front of her eyes.
"What are you thinking?" Ning Mingjie looked at her with raised eyebrows, and sat down beside her.
"You..." Looking at him with her heart in her arms, she realized what she said was wrong. She pursed her lips and said, "It's been a long time since we've been married, and I'm wondering why I can't conceive a child. Seeing Xing'er, I'm really envious."
Ning Mingjie chuckled lightly: "So you've been thinking about it for so long, and that's why you're thinking about it?"
"Yeah." Holding her heart blushing and nodding.
Ning Mingjie laughed, this princess of Yuzhen Kingdom, who has no rules, is quite cute occasionally.
"The child can't get out just by thinking about it," he said.
The curtain fell, and the eyes widened with the heart in his arms. It turned out that the woman asked the man this question, did it mean courtship? Then if she wants to seduce him in the future, shouldn't she just ask him for a child instead of being coy
Princess Holding Heart feels that she has discovered a big secret, and she is very complacent.
The relationship between her and Ning Mingjie seems to be getting better little by little. She learned how to embroider and cook from the girls here. Even the poems and songs that she hated the most in the past, she patiently learned because of his liking. up.
She used to be a savage princess who could only use big swords, but now she wants to be a virtuous little daughter-in-law in his backyard.
Luo Qi said: "The general has been fighting all the year round, and he has many injuries on his body. I heard that a century-old ginseng has been grown in Foshan recently, and the kind that can run. You must be sincere to find it. It can cure all old injuries and diseases. I want to be a general. Dig it back."
Holding heart to be wary of her, Ji said she couldn't listen to what she said, so even if she said that, holding heart just nodded: "Then you go."
Ning Mingjie had been injured on his leg, and his bones were broken. When it rained, he would feel a little sore and achy. The doctor said that the older he was, the worse the pain would be.
Holding my heart a little bit, I want to go to Foshan to dig ginseng. However, Zhu Yurun shook his head: "I have never heard of ginseng, it must be a lie, look, she will never dig it back, don't be fooled!"
"How could such a smart person as me be fooled!" Holding his heart and swearing.
Sure enough, Luo Qi didn't dig it back, she just cried and said that she didn't find ginseng, the weather has been bad recently, the general must be feeling very uncomfortable.
Zhu Yurun said: "It seems that she just wants to lure you to dig ginseng. Maybe she has set up some kind of trap to harm you."
Hold your heart and sneer: "Pigs will be fooled."
However, a day later, a pig was walking on the road to Foshan.
Ning Mingjie's birthday is approaching. Although it's not a big birthday and she doesn't know how to toast, she thinks, why not try her luck? If you can dig it, it can be a gift.
She's not stupid, really, she knew that Luo Qi had bad intentions, so when she came out, she told Ning Mingjie that she was going to Foshan to pray for blessings, and she would come back in two days. She also brought a dagger for self-defense. If someone dares to harm her, she must let that person know why the flowers are so red.
Bloody!
Baring his teeth and making a vicious look, he held his heart and continued on the road with confidence.
Centuries-old ginseng naturally does not exist. She did not give up, and almost searched Foshan, which was delayed for a long time. As a result, during the two or three days when she left, Luo Qi set up a bridge for Ning Mingjie, and attracted Xiang Lan, a concubine daughter of Li Shangshu's family in the household department, to marry into Ning Mansion as a concubine.
This was a matter to be agreed by the main wife, but Luo Qi directly made the decision when the main wife was not there. Because Xianglan has a lot of friendship with her, it is natural that she is even more affectionate when she is brought into the mansion.
And Ning Mingjie didn't object, there were many people in the house, and it happened that his birthday was approaching, so it should be regarded as a gift from Li's house.
When she returned to the General's Mansion with her heart in despair, what she saw was Ning Mingjie hugging a woman she had never seen before, and was about to go to the main courtyard.
"Are you back?" Seeing her, Ning Mingjie stopped in his tracks and jokingly said, "It took me three days to pray, and I don't know how rich my blessings are. This is Xianglan, who just entered the mansion. "
Looking at the smile on his face, I felt a little surprised. She found that she would still cause trouble for herself, thinking about not asking too much, but looking at the scene in front of her, she still felt glaring.
"What's your new date?" she asked.
The smile on Ning Mingjie's face faded: "Holding my heart, you're out of control again."
He smiled with his heart in his arms, waved his hands, turned around and left domineeringly.
She didn't know what she was doing here, turning herself into another person, but she could only get a small part of his heart, not in her original form.
Holding my heart feels a little tired, my hands are covered with scars, and so is my heart.
If you love someone, why change for him
