Nalan Jinxiu looked at Jiang Man, smiled sweetly, and said with a harmless appearance: "I ate a piece of white potato cake at my grandmother's yesterday, which is very delicious. Grandmother said that it was made in your small kitchen, so I took the liberty to ask for some, and by the way, I wanted my cook to learn it, I wonder if my sister-in-law can cut her love?"

Jiang Man's expression was abnormal for a moment, but it was really only for a moment, if it weren't for Nalan Jinxiu, who was sitting opposite her and looking at her expression, I was afraid that I would have missed it. The expression at that moment was not quite easy to say, like fear, like relief, more like drifting...... In short, it's too suspicious.

"It's not that I don't want to teach, but it's something like white potatoes, not the soil of Jinling. I brought people who specialize in growing sweet potatoes, but I didn't feed much, and there were no raw materials, no matter how delicious this white potato cake was, it couldn't be made. ”

"I know how to grow medicinal herbs, so why don't my sister-in-law take me to see it, maybe adding a few flavors of medicine can make the sweet potatoes grow well." Nalan Jinxiu doesn't plan to let go of this topic, as long as he misses it this time, it won't be easy to mention it next time. If it is too deliberate, it will definitely make Jiang Man defensive.

Jiang Man obviously didn't want to take her to see it, but he couldn't think of any excuse to prevaricate her for a while, so he was stunned for a while.

Nalan Jinxiu put the teacup on the wooden table, stood up, as if she couldn't understand her entanglement, and said eagerly: "Sister-in-law, take me to see it." ”

Jiang Man thought that she was just going to see some sweet potatoes, and she couldn't see anything wrong at her young age, so she took her there. Who knew that people didn't come to see the safflower lively, seeing that she was taking her to see the seedlings, and clamoring to see the fruits.

"My sister didn't know that the fruits of the sweet potatoes were buried in the ground, and they needed to be wrapped in mud to be preserved, which was really dirty, and I was afraid of staining my sister's eyes. ”

"The main reason I came this time was to ask for some sweet potatoes to go back, isn't my sister-in-law really reluctant?" looked very aggrieved and pity.

Jiang Man is a hard-hearted person, and he could have ignored it. But she knew that the person who could not be offended by the entire Ji Mansion now was her. Who doesn't know that her eldest daughter-in-law is still the granddaughter of the old lady, the old lady is spoiled, and she is close to each other, and she is in the backyard of Ji Mansion, which can be said to be in the limelight. Moreover, other people's husbands are very precious and have traveled thousands of miles to marry back.

The more Jiang Man thought about it, the more unconvinced she felt, if her husband was not a concubine, with her means and thoughts, the backyard of this Ji Mansion would have been kept in her hands a long time ago, where is this yellow-haired girl's share? Now she has to be controlled by others, and she is really embarrassed to act according to other people's faces.

In the final analysis, her man is not angry, and he has followed his father to the north and south for so many years, except for this mansion and a few granges, nothing has been left behind. After they got married, Ben also got some things, but his husband was not good at managing it, and he finally lost it. It's good now, the money bag is still in someone's hand, can she not look at other people's faces?

"My sister-in-law hasn't replied for so long, it seems that there is really a difficulty, and since this is the case, I won't take away people's favors, so I'll leave. Nalan Jinxiu stood up, feeling that if she didn't give her a slap, this Jiang Man might not know how long she would have to rub it in.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Man saw that she was leaving, she immediately became anxious. grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Where my sister says, I'll take you to see it, don't say a few white potatoes, you just have to go, and I don't have anything to be reluctant to." ”

Nalan Jinxiu followed her and entered the cellar. The cellar is not large, the air is slightly damp, and only some white potatoes are stored. Those white potatoes are also just as Jiang Man said, and they are wrapped in mud on the outside.

"Everything that has been born is here, and my sister wants as much as she wants, just take it. ”

Nalan Jinxiu signaled auspiciousness with her eyes, and the girl who followed behind auspiciousness understood, and packed some and took it away. As soon as the group came out of the cellar, Jiang Man said to Nalan Jinxiu: "Because Aunt Su had an accident, we haven't given any money in our courtyard this month." ”

"I think it was negligence on the part of the account, so I went back and told them to send it to my sister-in-law as soon as possible. ”

Jiang Man took her hand and whispered: "It's not me who said, the concubine room is not on the table, you said that the big and small things in our house are all in the hands of Aunt Su, what happened in the end, she had an accident first! ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought again, her third brother was really psychic, and even Jiang Manhui could guess that the lion opened his mouth. She followed her words and asked, "How much does that sister-in-law spend a month in this house?"

"My whole family needs to be dotted up and down, and I have to pay a thousand taels anyway. ”

Nalan Jinxiu really wanted to ask her, as soon as she opened her mouth, there was so much, if the silver came so easily, she could only rob it! The third brother was a second-class member of the imperial court, and the expenses in their courtyard were only one hundred taels.

Jiang Man saw that she didn't speak, and knew that she wanted a little too much. But she didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and such a young housekeeper should be the best to fool.

"There are many people in our yard, and the expenses are naturally large, and since I got married, I have been using the dowry to make up for the shortfall. Now that the dowry has been lost, I really can't do it. The more Jiang Man spoke, the more sad he became, and he kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

Nalan Jinxiu was stunned, she really didn't know why these women in the backyard of Ji Mansion were crying so much?

She was a little helpless for a while, and suddenly remembered that when she cried in the past, was the third brother also so helpless? She regretted it now, and she didn't ask the third brother in the morning what it means for a lion to open his mouth. Now Jiang Man costs thousands of taels of silver every month, can it be counted?

Jiang Man saw that he had frightened her, so he cried even more, and secretly said in his heart: In the end, she is young, and it is indeed much easier to deal with than Aunt Su's vixen. If you hold her and make her happy, you may be able to get more money.

Nalan Jinxiu's purpose of getting white potatoes has been achieved, so there is no need to stay any longer, and being entangled by ginger vines is definitely not a good thing. She ignored Jiang Man's retention, and ran all the way back, and felt that she was really embarrassed on the way, and there was no way to run away.

She leaned on the soft couch in the carriage, thinking about marrying herself, and there was no time to worry. First, as soon as she entered the house, there was a beautiful maid sent by Aunt Su, and then Xue Ji's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the door, Aunt Zhang was wronged, and now her grandmother has food poisoning......

It's really a wave of unevenness, wave after wave!

She rubbed her forehead irritably, and the carriage stopped suddenly. She was puzzled, and was about to lift the curtain to see what was going on outside, when she saw Ji Xiang and said to her with a smile: "Madam, it's the third master's car." ”

"Why is the third brother's car here?"

As soon as Nalan Jinxiu's voice fell, Ji Hongye had already appeared in front of the carriage. He stretched out his hand to her, and she naturally got out of the car with him and asked the question again.

"I'll pick you up. Ji Hongye said lightly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Nalan Jinxiu's heart is naturally sweet. She put her arms around him, half-tilted her cheeks, and asked coquettishly, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"It's done. His expression was still pale and pale.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know that he had completely overthrown Li Shancheng and the party in the court today. Everyone else said that he was a good method, and he took care of Daning's cabinet chief assistant without bloodshed.

Only he himself knew what he had experienced, and even the newly appointed squire of the Criminal Department, Yuan Songmu, had been assassinated three times, not to mention him? Although it was dangerous, everything was under his control. The remnants of the Northern Underworld alone are enough to kill Li Shancheng.

The saint is not unaware that after Li Shancheng himself became the first assistant, none of the things he did were for the country and the people. But in order to consider and contain him in many ways, he has always connived at him to form a party for personal gain. Now that many officials in the DPRK and China have been bribed by him, if they don't make any more moves, I am afraid that they will shake the country's foundation.

To say that this Li Shancheng is really scheming, he has found people to collect the secrets of many important members of the imperial court for many years, so that they have to help him find things and successfully achieve the position of first assistant. But what kind of feats can a chief assistant who takes revenge as his mission do? Most of them are abusing power for personal gain.

At the moment when Li Shancheng was imprisoned, how many people secretly applauded, and how many people were terrified? Ji Hongye secretly saw all this clearly, and he found that he had also choked those people's throats.

He had just been released from the prison of the Criminal Department, and Li Shancheng was locked up there, waiting for the final result of the trial of the three divisions. He confessed to what he had done, and his only regret was that he was exposed too early and failed to subvert Daning and avenge the tragic death of the Northern Underworld.

"If I'm dead, you can be the first assistant, standing on the cusp of the storm, you can't even sleep well at night, and you have to put a self-defense dagger under the pillow. Li Shancheng looked at him, there was no hatred in his eyes, just a thick ridicule, and even relief.

"I'm afraid that Lord Li will be disappointed, the Holy Lord has issued an order, Lord Hou Bowen Hou is the first assistant, and I am the second assistant. ”

"Hou Bowen's old bones, how long can you survive? The cabinet will be your world sooner or later. You've tried your best, but you just want this situation. Don't think of yourself as noble, when you get to the position of Shousuke, you will become like me. ”

"You are wrong, the whole Daning court should be from Daning. ”

Li Shancheng looked at him with a particularly sarcastic look, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect the scholar who has been fighting with me for so long to be so simple." Human nature is greedy, do you think it is possible for you to want the world to be clear?"

Ji Hongye sorted out the corners of his robe, and his tone was firm: "It is precisely because people in the world can't do it, so we have to choose the best among them and become an official in the court." As long as the official is upright and clear, then the world will inevitably be clear!"
