Chapter 11
"Yeah." The brother and sister nodded together.

"How much money did you spend?" Mr. Jiang sat down and took a sip of tea.

As long as both his children came back safely, Jiang didn't mind spending a little money.

"400 taels." Zuo Xiangning whispered.

Jiang glared at Zuo Xiangning and called Zi Shuang: "Go get 400 taels of silver notes."

She handed the banknote to Zuo Xiangning's hand, "What kind of yard do you want to build? Just tell Zhang Rui's family. His man can draw the drawings and leave the construction of the house to him."

"Thank you, mother." Zuo Xiangning did not expect that Jiang would support her unconditionally.

She jumped up, smiled and hugged Jiang's shoulders, "Mother is the best to me."

"Don't think I gave it to you for free, I'm going to take it from your dowry!" Jiang looked at the men's clothes on her body and said with disgust, "Go back to the room quickly, let your father see it, and you have to Teach you!"

Brother and sister Zuo Xiangning paid their respects to Mr. Jiang and ran out with smiles.

When Zuo Zimo and Zuo Xiangning separated, he raised his thumbs at her and said, "Awesome."

Zuo Xiangning was secretly worried.

She had bought the mountain, but she knew nothing about mining.

She can't dig all over the mountain with a pickaxe, right?
Moreover, this mountain must be watched by someone she trusts, lest the gold is not dug and other troubles occur.

But there was no one available around her.

She didn't sleep well that night. After breakfast the next day, Lu Xia came over to invite her, "Madam, please come over."

Zuo Xiangning dressed up beautifully and went to Jiang's yard. Before she even entered the house, she called out, "Mother."

When Jiang saw that she was wearing new clothes that he had someone make for her, the smile in her eyes grew even stronger.

He smiled and asked her to sit next to him, pointed to the people standing in the middle of the ground, and said: "These are Zhang Rui and his wife and their two boys. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask them to do it, go out or If you want to buy anything, you can also go to Zhang Rui's house, and I will arrange for her to guard the gate in your yard."

Zuo Xiangning was overjoyed that Jiang helped her find someone first.

Jiang sent Zhang Rui's family away, and then said to Zuo Xiangning: "You will follow me to the Chu Prince's Mansion later."

Jiang's group left the Zuo Mansion in a mighty manner.

In the Ruyi Courtyard, Aunt Liu was talking to Zuo Xiangyu: "Jiang, please let your father go check on the flower viewing feast!"

Zuo Xiangyu curled her lips and said, "Second sister said there was nothing wrong with her. What's there to worry about? Besides, can you not be so afraid of her? Zuo Xiangrong has just become pregnant. Who knows if she will be able to give birth?" …”

Aunt Liu hurriedly stepped forward and covered her daughter's mouth, saying anxiously: "My little ancestor, are you allowed to say such things?"

"Mom, we are in Ruyi Courtyard!" Zuo Xiangyu took away Aunt Liu's hand, stared at her, and said, "In your courtyard, can't I just say whatever I want?"

"No matter where you are, you are not allowed to say such things again!" Aunt Liu was so angry that her heart ached. She sat on a chair and lightly beat her chest. "Before you open your mouth, can you use your brain? I have nothing to do with you. How many times have I told you? Why don’t you listen to me? Also, the Gu family has such a good marriage, why can’t your sister find a way to tell you about it? "

"What's so good about it? It looks like a wooden stake." Zuo Xiangyu curled her lips, "I don't care about it!"

"The second young master of the Gu family is a rare and handsome man!" Aunt Liu frowned, "Let me tell you, don't be like your sister and dream of marrying a prince. With your status as a concubine, She is destined to be just like your sister, and will never be able to become the concubine of any prince!"

What Zuo Xiangyu cares most about is her status as a "concubine". After listening to her mother's words, her face immediately changed. She stood up and said, "Then why don't you think of a way to become the legal wife? Once you become the legal wife, my sister will be the most important." I can also be a concubine this time. If the eldest prince becomes the emperor in the future, then my sister will be the concubine..."

"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll break your legs!" Aunt Liu was so angry and frightened by Zuo Xiangyu that her head buzzed, "Go back quickly. If you stay here any longer, you will make me mad to death." She gave birth to her own child. She knew that out of ten Zuo Xiangyu, Zuo Xiangyun was not as thoughtful as Zuo Xiangyun. Her eldest daughter insisted on marrying Zuo Xiangning to the Gu family. Second Young Master, there must be some extraordinary reason.

She called her eldest girl Jin Hui and asked her to deliver a letter to her eldest daughter, "I will wait for her at the silk shop this afternoon."

Zuo Xiangning followed Jiang to Prince Chu's Mansion, got off the sedan at Chuihua Gate, and saw Zuo Xiangrong waiting by the door.

Jiang held her eldest daughter's hand and asked with concern, "How have you been feeling these past few days? Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Don't worry, mother, my daughter is doing very well." Zuo Xiangrong asked with a peach-like face: "Only mother and sister are here? Why didn't Zimo come?"

"He went to school today," Jiang said, "Learning a little bit is better than not learning at all."

"The King of Chu said a while ago that he wanted to arrange a position for Zimo in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division," Zuo Xiangrong said, "When it is confirmed, I will have someone send a message home."

"Then you have to thank King Chu properly." Jiang said with a happy smile.

Zuo Zi's incompetence in writing and martial arts has become a problem for Jiang.

Zuo Xiangrong smiled and said: "There is a new royal chef in the palace, and the snacks he makes are excellent."

"Did the emperor send it here, or did the King of Chu ask for it?" Not only did Jiang's face not show a smile, but there was a look of worry.

"It was awarded by the emperor, and it can be ranked among the top three in the palace." Zuo Xiangrong smiled bitterly.

Zuo Xiangning guessed from the looks of the two that they were worried about the child in Zuo Xiangrong's belly.

If this baby gives birth to a boy, it will be a good thing that everyone will celebrate, but if it gives birth to a girl, how high it is now will be how low it will be in the future.

Zuo Xiangning held their arms and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, my sister's baby must be a boy."

"You know everything." Zuo Xiangrong smiled and pinched Zuo Xiangning's chubby face, and asked someone to bring the carved box on the dressing table to Zuo Xiangning, "This is for you."

Zuo Xiangning opened it curiously, and inside there were ten small gold ingots weighing five to two ounces. They were shining and very beautiful.

"These are newly cast. They look good, so I left ten of them for you." Zuo Xiangrong said with a smile.

"Just spoil her!" Mrs. Jiang pretended to complain: "She just bought a mountain yesterday, and you gave her another gold ingot. She may add it up with your brother tomorrow and buy something else."

"If they keep messing around, you'll beat them!" Zuo Xiangrong covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm afraid you won't be able to let go."

"She is different from you. You are a tiger, so you have to beat and scare her. She is a rabbit, can she treat you the same way?" Jiang said with a smile: "If she is like you, watch me beat her." Don’t hit her!”

"Just be partial." Zuo Xiangrong said angrily, "Why are you always making excuses?"

Jiang stayed in Prince Chu's Mansion for more than an hour and declined Zuo Xiangrong's offer to stay.

"Take care of yourself. If anything happens, just send someone to find me." Jiang said in a low voice: "Your eldest brother has achieved military merit again. If nothing happens, he will be able to return to Beijing and receive a title at the end of the year."

Zuo Xiangrong smiled and nodded, knowing that her family was her strongest support.

"You should not be too tolerant when you are in the house." Zuo Xiangrong said: "Zimo and Xiang Ning have both reached the age of marriage."

"I understand." Jiang nodded.

Zuo Xiangning and Zuo Xiangyu are now one year apart. Just like Zuo Xiangrong and Zuo Xiangyun back then, their marriage inevitably had the meaning of competition.
