Chapter Eighty-Seven: Picking Mouths

Seeing that Jiang Shu refused to eat, Yu Zheng sighed lightly and pretended to regret.

"This snack will be left for two or three days at most, and if you don't eat it, it will be wasted."

Jiang Shu was stunned, hesitated and took a piece and said, "Then I'll taste it, the concubine's mind can't be wasted." ”

"Hmm." Yu Zheng pulled his lips and put the food box next to her.

Originally, I heard Yu Zheng say that he didn't like to eat, but Jiang Shu thought that the concubine's skills were not good.

But after tasting it, she was surprised to find that this pastry was no worse than Jiuxiangzhai's.

I don't like such delicious pastries, and he is too picky.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Jiang Shu's chest was already hungry and pressed against his back, and he ate half a box in one go.

Just when she felt a little dry, an open water bladder appeared in front of her.

"Thank you." Jiang Shu took it embarrassedly and took a sip.

Yu Zheng looked at it calmly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

After drinking the water, Jiang Shu handed the water bladder back to Yu Zheng and covered the food box.

"Not eating?" Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

Jiang Shu nodded: "I'm full, the rest of the prince can eat by himself, don't live up to the concubine's love for his son." ”

At the end, Jiang Shu added: "If the prince doesn't like to eat sweet, he can eat it with tea, so that he won't get tired." ”

"Okay." Yu Zheng should be low.

The stomach was full and the heart was not panicked, Jiang Shu felt that his mood was calm and stabilized, and the previous panic was gone.

She took a deep breath and cheered up.

Whether it is good or bad, it has happened, and sorrow is useless, and you can only face it calmly.

After arriving at the palace to get the medicinal materials, Yu Zheng asked Chaiyun to drive Jiang Shu back.

Before leaving, Jiang Shu asked Yu Zheng: "Will this medicinal material be converted into cash silver for the prince, or will I return the same when I find it?"

"Don't worry, just find the same return later."

After a pause, Yu Zheng said again: "If you need it, I still have it in my house, just come and get it." ”

He promised her, but he never thought of asking her to return it. It's just that he knew that she was ashamed, so he followed her words and made her less burdened.

"I remember the great kindness of the prince, and he will repay him with a straw ring one day." Jiang Shu held the brocade box containing the medicinal herbs and bowed.

Yu Zhengmo's eyes flashed slightly, and he said expectantly: "Okay, I'll wait." ”

Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Yu Zheng to answer like this.

Thinking that Imperial Physician Chen was still waiting for the medicinal herbs in her arms to enter the medicine, Jiang Shu said goodbye to Yu Zheng and got into the car and left.

After seeing the carriage go away, Yu Zheng returned to the mansion and looked at the food box on the table and pulled the corners of his lips.

He asked the maid to bring hot tea, as Jiang Shu said, and ate the remaining hibiscus cake with the tea.

It's really not so sweet, it's much smoother.

"Master, dinner is coming soon." Chafeng thought Yu Zheng was hungry.

Yu Zheng glanced at him and ate comfortably.

Scratching his head in the wind, he didn't understand what happened to Yu Zheng today.

Yu Zheng has always been very strict with himself, because the doctor said that eating sweets at night is not good for the body, so he has never eaten sweets at night for many years.

What's going on today? Are you really hungry? Or have you missed the hibiscus cake made by the concubine for too long?

Yu Zheng didn't give him an answer, and he could only go to dinner with doubts in his head.

When Jiang Shu returned to Jiang's house, Imperial Physician Chen and the others had already eaten, and immediately weighed the decoction after getting the medicinal materials brought back by Jiang Shu.

Jiang's mother has been staying in front of Jiang's father's bed and refuses to eat.

Looking at Jiang's mother's crying and swollen eyes, Jiang Shu gently comforted: "Mother, Dad won't wake up for a while, let's go to dinner first." ”

Jiang Mu shook her head: "You go eat with Ning'er, I can't eat it." ”

Jiang Shu glanced at Jiang's father on the bed, and said with a condensed face: "Dad needs someone to take care of him now, if my mother doesn't eat and starves to death, who will take care of my father?"

"The uncle and the third uncle are looking forward to each other, and they must not be allowed to take advantage of it, only when my mother guards my father, I can rest assured."

"Don't worry, I will definitely guard your father and not let anyone have a chance to harm him." Mother Jiang solemnly promised.

Jiang Shu held Jiang's mother's hand and said: "I believe in my mother, but if my mother wants to guard my father, I have to eat well first, otherwise my father will fall before I wake up." ”

Mother Jiang pondered for a moment when she heard this, and finally got up to go to dinner with Jiang Shu.

The three people at the dinner table had no appetite, but Jiang Shu still finished a bowl of rice and asked Jiang's mother, Jiang Ning, to eat more.

"Only when you are full can you have strength and spirit."

Rescuing Jiang's father is not the end, but the beginning, and they still have many things to face.

For example, taking care of Jiang's father, handling housekeeping at home, and taking care of the Jiang family's property.

According to Imperial Physician Chen, Jiang's father needs to recuperate from his injuries for nearly a year, and it is not suitable to work after the injury, so the Jiang family's business can only be taken care of by Jiang Shu.

But the uncles of the Jiang family each have ghosts and are looking at each other, and it is not easy to take power.

The road ahead is difficult and long, and only when you are full can you have the energy to face it.

The first time he was imprisoned, everyone in the Jiang family was uncomfortable.

The food was so crude that it was hard to swallow, and seven or eight people were crammed into a cell, with no beds, no tables or chairs, and they could only squat on the ground.

In February, the weather was warm and cold, and in the middle of the night, the temperature dropped rapidly, and they shivered from the cold, so they could only huddle together to keep warm.

"It's not a place for people, I'm going home."

Jiang Yun couldn't stand it anymore, got up and ran to the cell door and shouted.

The jailers, who heard the movement, rushed and scolded them impatiently, telling them to be honest, or else they would be whipped and waited.

Jiang Yun plucked the golden hairpin from her head and prayed in a wailing voice: "Brother Cha, I'll give you this, you can let me out." ”

Seeing that the golden hairpin jailer's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands greedily and said, "I said hello from above, it's impossible to let you go, but I can make you feel better." ”

Jiang Yun was full of despair, and was unwilling to ask: "How can you get better?"

"A hairpin for a quilt." The jailer stared at the golden hairpin in Jiang Yun's hand, and his eyes lit up.

Jiang Yun's face turned cold when she heard this, and she withdrew her hand and said angrily: "Are you stupid for me?" A golden hairpin for a quilt, why don't you grab it. ”

"I don't know what to do!" The jailer cursed and walked away.

Jiang Yun went back angrily and threw herself into her mother's arms and cried bitterly.

"Mother, I don't want to stay here, I want to go out, I want to go home!"

Jiang Li frowned and looked sad: "My mother also wants to go back, but we have offended the nobles, and this crime must be endured." ”

"Bear with me, three days will be soon."

On weekdays, three days are really fast, and they pass in a flash. But in this dark and damp prison, time flies very slowly, and every moment is torment.

In the second half of the night, the temperature dropped even lower, and Jiang Yun, who was asleep in a daze, was woken up by the cold and shivered.

"Mother, I'm so cold."

Jiang Li also felt cold, and hugged Jiang Shaohe tightly to keep warm.

Jiang Yun couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the cell door again and shouted.

The jailer who was woken up had a bad temper and cursed viciously with a whip.

Jiang Yun took out the golden hairpin again, trembling and flattering: "Brother Bad, I'll use it to change the bed quilt." ”

Seeing the golden hairpin, the jailer's head suddenly sobered up, stared at the other golden hairpin on Jiang Yun's head and said, "Now that the price has risen, it takes two hairpins to change a quilt." ”

"Are you a bandit!" Facing the insatiable and intensified jailer, Jiang Yun subconsciously wanted to scold.

The jailer snorted coldly, and his tone was fierce and impatient: "Do you want to change it?"
