Entering midsummer (May), the weather has become hot, and the ice cubes have been prepared in the Wutong Courtyard early, but the General's Mansion, no, it is now the day in the Jiang Mansion is very difficult, after all, the mansion is unable to make ends meet, where is the ice cube used without silver?

Jiang Bowen, who was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall for more than half a month, was also released, and I don't know if it was because in the punishment, Liniang suffered with him and made him feel guilty, so he asked Huo Shi to marry Liniang as soon as he came out.

Before, I couldn't do this because of filial piety, but now that Jiang Bonian is not dead, naturally there is no need to keep filial piety.

Aunt Zhao killed and disagreed with her son marrying Liniang, but Jiang Bowen was resolute, she could only go to Jiang Changgong to cry, but unfortunately Jiang Changgong didn't want to care about anything now, and wanted to be comfortable for a few years, so she was very unceremoniously kicked people out.

Aunt Zhao went to beg the Huo family again, but the Huo family didn't want to care anymore, but she also knew that Jiang Bowen's behavior still represented the face of the Jiang family, and finally made a request, Li Niang could only be a concubine if she wanted to enter the door.

Jiang Bowen knew that if Jiang Bonian didn't come back, maybe he could still threaten one or two, but now that the eldest brother is back, he is a concubine, if he really continues to be hard steel, he will still suffer, so he can only turn his head and persuade Li Niang.

Li Niang didn't want to be a concubine, but she also knew that this was her only chance, so she could only nod in the end.

There is no procedure for taking concubines, and Liniang has no family, so on the same day, a small sedan chair carried Liniang around the house and sent it to the west courtyard of Bailanyuan.

There are two cross-courtyards in Bailan Courtyard, and in the east cross-courtyard live Jiang Bowen's two Tongfang girls, Chunxiu and Xianglan, although the concubine is better than Tongfang, at least she has a name, but she can't live in the main courtyard.

Moreover, the concubine is considered half a master.

Li Niang felt uncomfortable, but she had to accept it.

Chunxiu and Xianglan naturally didn't want to see Li Niang, but they had been serving Jiang Bowen since they were children, and they naturally knew the temper of this second master, so they were still very polite on their faces, and even added makeup to her.

Liniang can be equipped with a girl, she proposed it to Jiang Bowen, and wanted to ask for amber over.

Amber came to Wutong Courtyard for the first time, after all, her deed of sale was still in Ning Ruyan's hands.

"It's your deed of sale." Ning Ruyan returned the deed of sale to her, "There are also an extra fifty taels of silver." ”

Amber's expression was somewhat complicated.

"What I promised has been done, as for whether you want to leave or want to go to Liniang's side, you make your own decision." Ning Ruyan smiled, "However, for your sake, I would like to remind you that it is best to think clearly before making a decision, so as not to regret it in the future." ”

Amber opened her mouth, but didn't say anything after all, but kowtowed to Ning Ruyan: "Thank you, lady." Then he took his deed of sale and got up.

"Banxia, send amber."

Banxia delivered amber to the gate.

"Sister Banxia, what do you say......" Amber actually has no bottom in her heart, and she doesn't know what to do.

"Amber, you're free now, and I'm going to tell you something from my heart." Banxia patted Amber on the shoulder, "I dare to say, in this Jiang Mansion, there are few masters who can compare to the kindness of my eldest lady." ”

Amber bit her lip.

"But, then again, you're alone, and you still have money on you, and it's not necessarily a good thing to go out." Banxia sighed, "So, you have to think about it." ”

Amber nodded: "Thank you, Sister Banxia." ”

After Banxia came back, she asked Ning Ruyan: "Miss, do you think Amber will leave or stay?" ”

"I can't say for sure, whether she leaves or stays, it's her own path, and it has nothing to do with us." Ning Ruyan hooked the corners of her mouth, but, according to her understanding of Amber, eighty percent would stay, because if she went out, she would not be able to climb the high branches, and if she stayed in the Jiang Mansion, at least she could contact the upper echelons, even if she was a concubine, it was better than going out to marry a mud-legged woman and be a lady.

Sure enough, news came that night that Amber became Liniang's girl, and the next day, Liniang brought her over to ask Ning Ruyan for peace.

"Congratulations to Aunt Li." Ning Ruyan added a pair of earrings to Liniang, "Although it may be a little far from the ideal, it is man-made." ”

"Thank you, lady." Aunt Li accepted it with a smile, and then gave her embroidered purse and handkerchief, "Without Mrs., there will be no my Liniang today, in the future, if Mrs. is in need, Liniang will definitely go to the soup." ”

"Okay." Ning Ruyan nodded, of course, she just listened to these words, and she wouldn't take them seriously at all.

At this time, the kitchen was served with fruit sorbet.

"Come, you two also try it, this is Aunt He's own thinking, grind the ice cubes into powder, and then mix it with fruit and cheese, cool and relieve the heat and satisfy your cravings." Ning Ruyan picked up a bowl and ate it slowly.

After Li Niang thanked her, she also picked it up and ate it.

At this time, Bai Zhi and the other girls also pulled the amber and ate it.

Li Niang has always known that Ning Ruyan is rich, and the life of Wutong Courtyard is better than that of the entire house, and she has really seen it at this time, you must know that this ice is very expensive, and now it is used in Shoukang Courtyard, and even only at noon when it is the hottest, and there are no other courtyards.

But the Sycamore Courtyard is already using ice for food.

Jiang Fu doesn't know what to do in the future, maybe she can hug Wutong Yuan's thighs, and if something happens in the future, there can also be a way out, right?

Of course, Amber naturally has this idea, since she stayed in the mansion, she doesn't think that Li Niang has the ability to be her backing, so she will have to be a doctor in the future.

Just such a bowl of ice cheese made the minds of two people turn a few times.

"Big lady, before the concubine comes, I will go to the uncle to say goodbye." Li Niang put down the bowl, took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Uncle is recovering well, I know that the concubine is coming to greet the eldest lady, and let the concubine bring a good one." ”

Ning Ruyan smiled: "Uncle has a heart, we always hope that the uncle is good, otherwise the widow's reputation is really not very good." ”

Li Niang also smiled: "I've been bothering the eldest lady for a long time, the concubine will retire, and Ming'er will come to greet the eldest lady again." ”

"It's not convenient for me here, there's no need to come every day, just get your heart." Ning Ruyan waved her hand, she really didn't want to deal with these people every day, so she simply refused, as for Jiang Bonian, if she dared to come, she would dare to really destroy him.

However, what Ning Ruyan didn't expect was that he didn't wait for Jiang Bonian, but waited for Yang Zilu's visit. (End of chapter)
