Chapter 4: The Outcome Depends on Providence
Iron ore, like gold mines, silver mines, and copper mines, has been an important material controlled by the imperial court in all dynasties, and the law of Dachu clearly stipulates that anyone who privately hides iron ore and copper ore can be punished for complicity and rebellion.
In the previous life, the Bazishan iron mine was only discovered five years later, and with the discovery of the iron ore, it also caused a series of bloodshed, which also opened the war for succession.
It was at that time that he was pushed out and became a stepping stone to the successor.
In fact, the man died with himself in a year, but he died in the first month, and he died in August, and he was poisoned by the people he swore allegiance to, and she was drowned by her husband, and they were all pitiful.
But now she wants to live well, and she wants to let everyone in the General's Mansion go to hell, as for that person...... The best outcome in this life is to be able to cooperate, but not to be emotionally involved.
And the first condition for her to become strong is to have chips in her hand, and the chips she can think of at the moment are materials for snow and floods, and the other is this iron mine.
Iron ore is a knife in her hand, but if it is handed over to that person, it will become an important weight, so she must use it well.
Banxia stopped asking when she heard it, anyway, she was Miss's girl, and Miss would do whatever she wanted.
"Banxia." Ning Ruyan took two steps to the inner room and suddenly stopped, "You hurry up and make some spices these days, one of which is a gardenia-scented ......"
"Okay." Banxia ran away excitedly, she likes to make incense, but the eldest lady rarely uses incense, so she has no use.
Ning Ruyan entered the treasury, fortunately, she left as soon as she became a husband, and her dowry was kept in her hands and did not enter the public account, but because her good in-laws didn't know how to operate at all, the income of several shops in the General's Mansion was very meager, but her father-in-law was not in good health and needed a decoction, and her mother-in-law Huo wanted to keep the shelf of the wealthy family, so the entire General's Mansion could be said to be stretched.
After she got married half a year ago, she has continuously subsidized the cost of almost 10,000 taels of silver.
But in this life, even if her silver is thrown away, it will not be used by the General's Mansion.
called Bai Zhi and a few girls in, and asked them to put some light and valuable things in a few packages, and then looked at Shiso and mulberry leaves: "You guys secretly go out of the house at night and give these things to Mrs. Li of the jewelry shop......"
She was very glad that because the distance to get married was a bit far, the dowry prepared for her by her father was mainly light, such as gold ingots, silver beads, east pearls, agate jade, and the like.
With just these few burdens, the contents are worth a lot of money.
As for some other large items, such as screens and vases, let's talk about it later.
"The slave and maid understand." The two nodded.
"In addition, after you two met Mrs. Li, you will go to the Lotus Dock to investigate a woman named Lian Susu......" Ning Ruyan groaned for a while, she had to know herself and her opponent in order to survive the battle, "If there is no there, go to ...... Look around Tanxi Mountain,"
The reason why I remember the place of Tanxi Mountain is because in her previous life, Jiang Changqing once inadvertently said that this place is Tanxi Mountain, and she asked him how he knew that place, at that time, he said that he had heard from his classmates and remembered it when he said that it was very beautiful, but she did not have any doubts, and said that she would take him to play for two days when he tried it.
It's ridiculous to think about it now, she was fooled by an eight or nine-year-old child.
Therefore, she now guesses that Jiang Bonian or Lian Susu should have told him or even taken him there, so she will boldly guess that Jiang Bonian and Lian Susu must have lived in both places.
Wait, Tanxi Mountain and Lotus Dock are quite far apart, and they are not in the same direction, so what is the connection between these two places?
"Bai Zhi, show me the map."
Bai Zhi was startled, and hurriedly took out a map and spread it out on the table.
Ning Ruyan hurriedly went over to check it, clicked on Tanxi Mountain, and then clicked on Lotus Dock, but finally his finger fell on Antongguan, and then suddenly smiled, I see.
"Miss?" Seeing Ning Ruyan suddenly stunned, Bai Zhi couldn't help but call.
"It's fine." Ning Ruyan came back to his senses, "Perilla mulberry leaves, you two must remember that in the process of investigation, no matter what you see or who you see, don't startle the snake, understand?" She was worried that if these two girls saw Jiang Bonian and fought with him again, it would be a surprise and not conducive to future plans.
Shiso and Mulberry Ye glanced at each other, although they didn't know why the eldest lady ordered this, but they still hurriedly responded, and then went to prepare something to go out.
"Miss, is there something going on?"
"Bai Zhi, the General's Mansion is not a place for us."
"Huh?" Bai Zhi's face changed.
"I can't say anything more to you now, but you remember, if you stay here, we'll have to be vigilant for a day."
Bai Zhi nodded hurriedly, but didn't ask anything more.
"Don't worry, one day, I'll leave here with you." Ning Ruyan patted Bai Zhi on the shoulder, "Now, you take some more silver beans and candy snacks for Xiaoshan Xiaohua, let them go out and walk around more, and focus on seeing if anyone has sent a letter to the house recently." ”
Xiaohua Xiaoshan is a pair of children of the cook He and the coachman Uncle Qian, a family of four are the slaves of the Ning family, the elder sister Xiaohua is ten years old, and the younger brother Xiaoshan is eight years old.
Bai Zhi didn't ask anything, grabbed a handful of silver peanuts and some candy and went out.
Ning Ruyan exhaled at this time, everything she could think of was done, and the result depended on the will of heaven.
"Pearl, what are you doing here?" Bai Zhi's voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Sister Bai Zhi, it's nothing, I just heard that the eldest lady woke up, and I was worried about the eldest lady...... Come and have a look. ”
"The eldest lady has us, you second-class girl, what are you looking into the house? Just do your part. ”
"Okay, Sister Bai Zhi, I'll go to work."
Ning Ruyan's eyes narrowed slightly, this pearl can't be kept.
There are two second-class girls in her Wutong Courtyard, both of whom were sent by her mother-in-law Huo, and she will slowly clean them up.
Not long after Xiaoshan Xiaohua ran out, Mama Zhong came again, this time with a doctor.
