Chapter 23~24 Dried Meat | Xin Yulan's reminder

"Mother, you promised your daughter, but you must not let Xiao Lang and this little goblin be together."

Jiang Yueyue shook Mrs. Jiang's arm, very anxious.

When Mrs. Jiang saw her like this, it was really difficult to tell her about King Xiao's decision. I had to find another opportunity to let King Xiao give a guarantee that Ning Xiang would not affect Jiang Yueyue's status.

"You relaxed your heart, waiting to get married, seeing that you can get married in just one year, why are you looking for death and life now?"

Why bother? Jiang Yueyue was extremely aggrieved, Xiao Qian already had the shadow of Ning Xiang in his heart, and he was angry with himself for her, which had never been like this when he was in Xiao Wang's Mansion before.

When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

Mama Pei invited Li Yingzhong again, and said that Mrs. Jiang was angry and spit out a mouthful of blood, which was really worrying.

As a result, when Li Yingzhong entered the door, he first saw Ning Xiang who was lying on the ground holding her stomach.

Jiang Yueyue pulled Mrs. Jiang and kept saying bad words, saying that she would not let him see Ning Xiang if she died.

Li Yingzhong didn't know what was going on, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only check Mrs. Jiang's pulse first.

"Madame, this is overworked, it is better to rest more."

"Let's open some prescriptions, things have been messy lately, and I don't have much time to rest." Madame Chiang tugged down the sleeves of her shirt.

Li Yingzhong took out a pen and paper from the box he was carrying and scribbled a prescription casually. It's not that Mrs. Jiang will suffer, but it will be slower to get better.

Jiang Yueyue said: "Recently, my mother has been resting in her room, and I and Aunt Xin have my own family affairs, why are there so many things that I have no time to rest?" ”

Mrs. Jiang glared at Jiang Yueyue after hearing this, blaming her for talking too much.

But Jiang Yueyue was unconscious, and still tentatively said: "Mother still has something to worry about, why don't you leave it to me." ”

"It's just that I'm used to it, so it's okay." The more Mrs. Jiang tried to hide it, the more Jiang Yueyue asked, she was really stupid. I can't reprimand her in front of outsiders, so I can only say a perfunctory word.

Jiang Yueyue pursed her lips dissatisfiedly: "It's just to guard against me." ”

Li Yingzhong didn't hear it, packed up his things and went out. Fortunately, Ning Xiang was afraid that he would be worried, so he secretly grimaced Li Yingzhong while the rest of the people were not paying attention, otherwise he was afraid that Li Yingzhong would not leave so simply.

Mrs. Jiang was so pleased with Jiang Yue that she almost flipped the table after Li Yingzhong left.

"Are you stupid? In front of outsiders, don't you know what to say and what not to say?! ”

"Why is my mother so angry!" Jiang Yueyue didn't know why Mrs. Jiang was so angry, she still felt that she was wronged, and there were complaints in her words.

Mama Pei really couldn't stand it anymore, so she stopped Jiang Yueyue's words: "Madame's rest these days is not enough." It's also very laborious to walk over today, why don't you go back and rest first? ”

"When I talk to my mother, what do you say, old pious woman?" Jiang Yueyue glared at Mama Pei viciously.

Mama Pei privately thought that she was doing it for Jiang Yueyue's good, but Jiang Yueyue didn't know what to do, and she didn't appreciate it, so she didn't speak.

Mrs. Jiang was extremely unwell, and she couldn't discipline her daughter, so she didn't say anything and left with Mama Pei.

Before walking out of the door, he casually pointed to a maid and helped Ning Xiang back to the room.

The little maid was originally curious, and wanted to take advantage of the passing by to take a look at what was going on, but she happened to bump into Mrs. Jiang coming out, so she could only take the job.

She didn't hear anything, she didn't say anything, she was frightened, a little annoyed, and when she pulled Ning Xiang up, she was a little big, and Ning Xiang almost fell to the ground again.

"It's so dark." The little girl saw that she was pulling Ning Xiang like this, Ning Xiang didn't move, and thought that Jiang Yueyue had made a lot of ruthless moves, but she didn't know that Ning Xiang borrowed her strength, but in fact, Jiang Yueyue's feet didn't hurt very much when they fell on her abdomen.

The two of them trembled back to the courtyard, and the little girl threw the person on the bed and went out, not caring anymore, in this kind of family, the maid who is always abused by the master will definitely be discarded sooner or later, and no one will want to have anything to do with her.

After the little girl left, Ning Xiang jumped up from the bed again and rubbed her shoulders, it was really bad to be thrown aside.

"Girl, how are you?"

Ning Xiang's window was patronized again.

Li Yingzhong's movements are neat, and he looks completely different from his appearance.

"Why didn't you go back?"

Ning Xiang hurriedly leaned over.

Li Yingzhong held her: "You walk slowly, are you injured?" ”

"Master, your eyes are too good, aren't they?" Ning Xiang rubbed her abdomen.

"I know you're a stubborn girl." Li Yingzhong took out the wound medicine from his arms, "This is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, you must have bruises on your abdomen." ”

Ning Xiang took it and sniffed it: "Such a good medicine, is it prepared by senior brother?" ”

"Hey, little girl, can you smell this?"

"That's right, the sachet that my brother brought was mixed by me, and I know everything he touched."

"What sachet?" Ouyang Shaoqian also jumped in along the window, "I heard that you were reprimanded, what's the matter?" Did she hurt you? ”

"It's fine." Ning Xiang smiled, skimmed the matter of the sachet, and prepared to quickly match Ouyang Shaoqian with one, otherwise he couldn't tell how this person would make a fuss, "It's just an authentic thing, I'm afraid ......"

Ning Xiang remembered Aunt Xin: "Maybe there is someone who can help me." ”

"You mean Xin Yulan?" Ouyang Shaoqian asked, "She hasn't come out of the account room today, and Mrs. Jiang hasn't gone over." ”

"Then I'll go over now." Ning Xiang shook her shoulder, the girl who threw her just now hurt more than she took Jiang Yueyue's kick.

"There's no hurry." Ouyang Shaoqian hurriedly stopped the person, "You take the medicine first, my people are watching there, and nothing will go wrong." ”

"Not necessarily." Ning Xiang rolled her eyes, "The last time the two guards were killed, your people were there, if someone hadn't followed the perpetrators, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to see who it was." ”

Ouyang Shaoqian was choked and speechless, but Ning Xiang smiled and took out a bunch of things from the closet.

"Well, for a few big brothers, so that they can relax and recuperate."

"What is this?" Ouyang Shaoqian took the burden and opened it to take a look, and found that it was only in the capital that there were shops selling dried meat.

"Girl, you're going to do it for those bastards outside?" Li Yingzhong cocked his beard dissatisfied.

Ning Xiang took out another burden and stuffed it into Li Yingzhong's hand: "This is for the senior brothers, and it is wrapped in various flavors of oiled paper, which is to honor you." ”

"That's pretty much it." Li Yingzhong took it with a smile, squinted his eyes, couldn't close his mouth, and couldn't wait to leave, ready to go back and rub the good tea that Ning Xiang snatched from Su Jingchen yesterday.

Ouyang Shaoqian couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that in the rumors in the rivers and lakes, your master is not like this. ”

Ning Xiang remembered Li Yingzhong, who was full of gloom and always a little alienated in the past, and shook his head: "What's the matter with the rumors in the rivers and lakes, grandpa can live like this, and I am happy to see it." ”

"That's right." Ouyang Shaoqian also remembered the old marquis, "It would be good when my father could think of opening some." ”

"I heard that the old Hou Ye is a person who never shows a smile except in front of Mrs. Hou."

"That's right." Ouyang Shaoqian nodded.

"Go out, I'm going to take medicine, and then I'll go to Xinfuzi." Ning Xiang pushed the man with both hands, "Get out, get out." ”

Ouyang Shaoqian originally wanted to say that he would help her with medicine or something, but Ning Xiang obviously guessed what he was thinking, so he just didn't keep him. Ouyang Shaoqian helplessly held the burden, and finally walked out the door.

Ning Xiang closed the doors and windows, lifted her clothes slightly, and found that her abdomen was indeed blue. Over the years, I have conditioned my body too well, far from being as rough and thick as in my previous life, which is also a bit disadvantageous.

After cleaning up the injured place and wrapping it around with a long silk a few times, Ning Xiang went out in a hurry and went to the account room to find Xin Yulan.

For fear of being discovered, she also hugged another quilt and rolled it up and stuffed it under the quilt she usually covered, pretending that there was someone in the room. But in fact, no one would come to see her at all.

Avoiding crowded places all the way, she hurried to the account room, and someone from the tree next to her transmitted a message to her.

"It's just Xin Yulan."

Ning Xiang nodded at the person hiding in the canopy, pushed the door open and went in, and instantly closed the door with his backhand.

"How did you get here?"

Xin Yulan was helping Mrs. Jiang to make fake accounts, and she was very surprised to see Ning Xiang coming.

Ning Xiang made a silent gesture and motioned for Xin Yulan to sit down in his seat.

Xin Yulan nodded, sitting there as if no one had come in.

When they came with Jiang Yueyue before, the two of them only rummaged through the surface, and at that time they only thought about looking for the booklet, and they didn't think of exploring the silver vault at all, this time Ning Xiang came over and went straight to the back.

"Strange." Ning Xiang muttered, finding that the warehouse behind the bookshelves was empty, and the ground was flat, with no signs of alteration at all.

"Ahem."

Xin Yulan coughed lightly, causing Ning Xiang to come out and poke her head out to look at her.

Seeing that Ning Xiang noticed herself, Xin Yulan put a hand behind her back and pointed in one direction.

Following the direction of Xin Yulan's finger, Ning Xiang only saw the blank wall.

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Xiang walked in that direction and groped on the wall, but knocked on the wall, it was all solid.

Xin Yulan was a little anxious, coughed lightly again, and pointed to the ground.

The ground is full of regular bricks, and it doesn't look like it can be left out.

Looking at the wall one by one, Ning Xiang suddenly found that the floor tiles were small, spliced together one by one, and the brick joints were all gray, but there was a slightly whitish patch that was not obvious, and the color of the floor tiles was almost the same.

Ning Xiang squatted down, touched it curiously, and tapped it with her fingers, only to find that even a few bricks were trembling.

If it is a single brick with a gap in the middle, it should not be knocked on one and it will all follow.

Ning Xiang took out a thin bamboo stick from her waist to blow a cigarette and stuffed one end into the crack of the brick, but she didn't pry it. After trying the location of the gray gap around me again, I heard a "click", and the ground about three feet square was tilted.

"I see." Ning Xiang opened the secret door made of bricks and found that the ground was exactly the same as the original.

A dark hole was opened in front of Ning Xiang's eyes with the stone bricks, but because it was too dark inside, there was no light at all, and Ning Xiang didn't dare to go down rashly, so she had to put the bricks back first, clean up the footprints, and turn around.

Xin Yulan saw that Ning Xiang had discovered the location of the secret passage, and also got up from his seat, picked up the broom on the side without saying a word, and limped to the back to sweep the floor, like an enslaved subordinate.

Ning Xiang knew that Xin Yulan had always been careful in her work, but she didn't expect her to pretend to be so serious. It can be seen that people often come here to spy on her, and this has become a habit.

Ning Xiang listened to the sound of sweeping the floor behind her, and suddenly it seemed that a hand was scratching her heart.

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she left the account room neatly, Ouyang Shaoqian was hiding outside and waiting for Ning Xiang to come out, and seeing that her face was not good, she hurriedly went over to ask.

"What's wrong? But what unhappy things did you see? ”

"I'm just wondering if I can stop using Xin Fuzi."

"Utilization?" Ouyang Shaoqian frowned, "How did you come up with this word?" ”

"Seeing that she is like this, I have contributed to it, and I feel a little regretful now, this is obviously a bad idea." Ning Xiang wanted to cry a little, the first dancer in the capital who used to be high-spirited, but now he is stained with copper stench, and he is bumping to clean the room, this gap is too big.

"Xin Fuzi is to redeem himself." Ouyang Shaoqian knew that when she saw Ning Xiang practicing in the courtyard, she was taught by Xin Yulan, and this woman was also a teacher and friend to Ning Xiang, and she was afraid that she would not be lower than Li Yingzhong in her heart.

Ning Xiang snorted: "She found the location of the tunnel, she should have heard something." ”

"My people told me that when Xin Yulan was sitting there checking the accounts, Mrs. Jiang once went to the inner room alone, but she would come out after a while."

"I must think that Xin Fuzi has his back to her, and there are bookshelves in the way, so I can't see what she does." Ning Xiang said, "I know that Xin Fuzi is very accurate in listening to the voice, so he must have heard the movement and knew the truth." ”

"But she didn't come to you." Ouyang Shaoqian was a little dissatisfied.

"I'm just afraid of causing me trouble." Ning Xiang pouted, a little angry.

Ouyang Shaoqian hurriedly put on a smiling face: "Go back and wait for us to uproot the Zhizhou Mansion, how about picking a favorite husband for her from the border soldiers?" ”

"How does this work?" Ning Xiang looked at Ouyang Shaoqian in disbelief, "It's an iron law for women from the beginning to the end." ”

"What iron law?" Ouyang Shaoqian said disdainfully, "There are very few women at the border, and the conditions are difficult, if there is no man to support the family, I am afraid that there will be no one at the border for a long time." Besides, they didn't have time to come back and carefully select, they all took root at the border. ”

Ning Xiang couldn't help but admire: "They are all hot-blooded men, protecting their families and defending the country." ”
