A tragic death in his previous life! Reborn to marry a stupid king and seize your kingdom

Chapter 28 Perfunctory and serious
  This crazy woman, who was taught by her to be proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, suddenly came to her to ask for five thousand taels of silver. Could it be that she had a gambling debt outside?
  But these five thousand taels of silver are too much, right? This crazy woman is really spoiled to the point of being spoiled. She just exported five thousand taels of silver as soon as she lost. Do you really think this is a bank? You can have as many as you want?

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhao temporarily calmed down her mind. She held on to the armrests of the chair and slowly sat up straight. She breathed a sigh of relief, showing a pitiful look like she was timid after being scolded. She apologized to Jiang Fengqing in an embarrassed tone: "Auntie I just mentioned it a little more, Feng Qing, don’t be angry.”

Even her personal maid couldn't stand Aunt Zhao's submissive look, and defended her: "Our young master just cares about the young lady, and has no other intentions. Why should the young lady be so aggressive? She wants our young master Zhao to do the same for her. Are you happy when you are angry to death?”

"Nan Xu, shut up! How can you say that to Feng Qing?"

Aunt Zhao waited for Nan Xu to finish speaking, then scolded her calmly, and then comforted Jiang Fengqing softly: "Aunt Zhao just wants to ask, are you gambling outside again? How much gambling debt do you owe? Tell your aunt the truth and she will help you think of a solution."

A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Fengqing's eyes. The aunt Nan Xu said was 'mad to death' by her was once her father's most favored aunt, but that aunt couldn't give birth to a child, so she always made trouble for her.

At that time, she was still young and had a bad temper. She heard from some maid that "a hen that can't lay eggs is not even a woman." She would say this once when she saw that aunt. , his words were sharp and regardless of the occasion, and every time he suppressed her anger, the aunt turned red in the face. Her mood gradually began to decline, and she finally couldn't help but hang herself.

But she, Jiang Fengqing, was not the only one to say that at that time. The maids and slaves in the house were also discussing the matter privately. It was because the aunt was weak-tempered and could not be the master or achieve anything, which was why she ended up with such a result.

"Nan Xu, right?" Jiang Fengqing looked at Nan Xu up and down with cold eyes.

Nan Xu froze, lowered her head quickly, and tightened her sleeves with both hands, wishing she could take back what she just said. She thought that the second daughter Hehui in front of her would be the same as before, disdain to be serious with these maids, but she didn't expect...

At this moment, she could only wait for Jiang Fengqing's fate.

"If I remember correctly, you came to Jiang Mansion five or six years ago. At that time, Aunt Liu had hanged herself. How did you learn about her?" Jiang Fengqing naturally knew that Aunt Liu died. The entire Jiang Mansion is in panic, and it’s not surprising that there are a few gossipy maids and servants, but the point is...

"Since you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you dare to spread these rumors in front of me."

Speaking of this, Jiang Fengqing turned her eyes to Aunt Zhao and shook her head sharply, "Auntie, the maid you taught is not very good."

Aunt Zhao choked in her heart, and her smile immediately froze on her face. When did this crazy woman become so sharp-tongued?

She cast a look at Nan Xu with hatred, and said with difficulty: "Feng Qing's lesson is right, Nan Xu is indeed a little unsafe..."

"If you dare to speak rudely in front of the master, why don't you kneel outside quickly."

Nan Xu still stood there and glared at Jiang Fengqing unconvinced, with no intention of being punished at all.

Aunt Zhao raised her eyelids and looked directly at Nan Xu with cold eyes, with a warning in her tone: "Nan Xu, you don't even listen to my words, do you?"

As soon as Nan Xu caught Aunt Zhao's gaze, she quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, little master."

Then, she bowed perfunctorily to Jiang Fengqing, snorted unconvinced, turned around and walked out of the room.

There was nothing on the table. Jiang Fengqing looked at Nan Xu's back and snorted in her heart. Then he shifted his gaze to Zhao Hetang.

Does Aunt Zhao want to wipe her butt again? Do you think losing money from gambling is a trivial matter? Even if she loses everything, she still has to clean up her mess?

Don't think she doesn't know. If she really lost so much money gambling, Aunt Zhao would only kneel down and beg her grandmother and her father for help. She would also pretend to be pitiful and say that this legitimate daughter didn't understand her worries at all. and difficulties.

But in fact, he would not pay a penny for her, and when his grandmother and father scolded her, he always defended her, which only made her grandmother and father more angry and made her suffer a heavier punishment.

"Feng Qing, you want five thousand silver taels for this. Aunt Zhao really can't afford it." Aunt Zhao sighed in embarrassment, and even the light in her eyes dimmed.

"Auntie has been working hard for this family these years, and she has used all the delicious food and brocades on you, Feng Luo, and Feng Xi. Besides, the Jiang family has a big business, and there are fifty or sixty maids and servants alone. , I have to give them some monthly money every month, and go out to buy some supplies, but in the end there will be nothing left..."

"Huh! My aunt just doesn't love me anymore!" Jiang Fengqing interrupted Zhao Wentang's ramblings directly, sniffed aggrievedly, and tears fell down again.

She directly grabbed Zhao Yutang's arm to wipe away her tears, and muttered complainingly: "My aunt used to love me so much, and she did whatever I said. Why has it become like this now?"

As she said that, she flicked Zhao Wentang's arm, crossed her arms and turned around, pretending to be angry and said, "Is it possible that my aunt was always pretending before?"

Aunt Zhao was dripping with cold sweat for a moment. She quickly stepped forward and held Jiang Fengqing's hand, comforting her softly, "Feng Qing, you can't say that. Five thousand taels of silver is a big sum, even if Auntie really has so much money." , I don’t dare to put it in the house, naturally it is stored in the bank, and it will take some time to take it out. "

Jiang Fengqing nodded in understanding, but her expression was still a little troubled, "What about my pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

Naturally, she would not ask for so much money from Zhao Wentang right away. She just made a request that she could not refuse to make the other party feel guilty. After that, the other party would naturally try to satisfy the conditions she mentioned.

Aunt Zhao choked, with a trace of imperceptible impatience on her brows. This crazy woman was always lying.

With so much money, you can buy a six-entry courtyard house in Lin'an City. What kind of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone can cost 5,000 taels of silver?
  Are you really treating her like a fool?
  Aunt Zhao suppressed the anger in her heart and squeezed out this sentence from the root of her teeth: "Auntie only has more than five hundred taels of silver here. Take these and find the best pens, inks, papers and inkstones for now, and I will raise them for you later." some……"

"Ah? It's only five hundred taels of silver?" Jiang Fengqing twitched the corners of her lips and said meaningfully: "Auntie, your love for me is only worth five hundred taels of silver?"

"you!"

The anger in Zhao Yutang's eyes became more intense. She patted her chest. She couldn't let this crazy woman become alienated from her now. Her Shu'an hadn't grown up yet. And when Shu'an grows up, she will have to pay double the suffering she is suffering now to this crazy woman!
  Thinking of this, Zhao Yutang's anger gradually subsided a little, but his expression was still not good-looking, "One thousand taels, the most aunt can give out is one thousand taels of silver, no more is really possible."

Jiang Fengqing took her hand out of Aunt Zhao's hand and said, "Since Aunt Zhao can take out one thousand taels, I think two thousand taels is not a problem."

"Auntie, two thousand taels, that's it."

‘Crack, bang!’!
  Seeing Jiang Fengqing walk out of the room, Zhao Wentang angrily picked up the ceramic jar on the bedside table and smashed it to the ground.

"Crazy woman! What a crazy woman! What is the difference between her behavior and robbery?!"

Almost everything in the house had been smashed, and Zhao Yutang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she sat in a chair and was a little stunned.

Although she has been in charge of the Jiang Mansion for a long time, these two thousand taels of silver are not a small amount after all. It directly cost her half of her private money. This time she really spent a lot of money.

As soon as he walked out of Qiu Heng's courtyard, Jiang Fengqing heard a loud sound of smashing things behind him. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, but his eyes were full of irony. It seems that Aunt Zhao is really angry.

Xiaoying, who was following her, was also frightened by the sound and straightened her back instantly, "Oh my God! Miss, why is there such a big commotion in Qihiirain?"

"Aunt Zhao, I guess you want to use ceramics instead of firecrackers to celebrate that you helped your lady and me." As soon as Jiang Fengqing walked out of Qiuhiyuan, her whole body became energetic. Looks like a pitiful little crybaby.

On the way back to Liangfeng Pavilion.

"Miss, how was your performance in Qiu Pingyuan just now?" Xiaoying was in high spirits all the way, following Jiang Fengqing and talking non-stop.

"Oh~ My Xiaoying is so great!" Jiang Fengqing responded somewhat perfunctorily.

Xiaoying's mood was not affected at all. She turned to look at Jiang Fengqing and asked curiously: "Miss, do you really want to buy the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the world?"

"Let's look for it, maybe there is something really good." Jiang Fengqing answered casually, not taking it to heart at all. She really wanted to make a lot of money from Zhao Yutang.

Xiaoying gradually frowned as she listened. She glanced at her young lady, sighed, and turned back. After a while, she repeated the same action.

Jiang Fengqing felt a little hot when she saw her. She twitched her mouth, stopped, and turned to look at Xiaoying, "What do you want to ask? I will give you a chance to speak freely."

"Miss..." Xiaoying looked at Jiang Fengqing with fear, and took a deep breath, "Miss Zhao was treated like her own daughter before, but recently it seems that she has... been a little bit difficult to deal with."

Xiaoying carefully considered her words, fearing that she might accidentally say the wrong thing and offend her young lady. After all, my young lady used to be kinder to Aunt Zhao than Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Fengqing sneered in her heart, like her biological daughter? In her previous life, she treated Zhao Yutang as her biological mother, so what did Zhao Yutang treat her like? The silly daughter of her father is used to stabbing her in the back.

She glanced at Xiaoying lightly with her eyebrows, and continued to walk towards Liangfeng Pavilion. She said in a calm tone: "Since Aunt Zhao treats me as her biological daughter, she naturally wants to buy me the best things. You are not allowed to stuff me with anything during the New Year and holidays." Red envelopes or something? Otherwise, how could she recognize my cheap daughter for nothing?"

"Ordinary people have to rely on money to win over people's hearts to get a maid. Is Aunt Zhao still thinking about getting such a big advantage without spending a penny?"

"The lady is right!"

Xiaoying hurriedly followed up and nodded crazily as if she had realized something. "Don't the old lady and General Bai both have some good things? They all choose the young lady first. Thinking about it this way, this Xiaozhu Zhao really didn't give anything." The young lady has bought nothing valuable, but I have enjoyed a lot of benefits in the Jiang Mansion thanks to the young lady."

"Boys can be taught." Jiang Fengqing nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them had not taken more than two steps when they saw a handsome young man wearing dark brown robes with sharp eyebrows standing at the door of Liangfeng Pavilion. This man had a short knife tied around his waist and was carrying several bags in each hand. Things wrapped in brown paper.

"Dai Xue? Why are you here? But Prince Rong asked you to come?"

Xiaoying's eyes suddenly lit up, and she shook Jiang Fengqing's arm excitedly.

Prince Rong is really interested in the young lady. When the young lady left the palace yesterday, Prince Rong specially came to put a cloak on the young lady. Now he has sent his personal bodyguard to deliver things. He really misses his young lady every day.

"Yes." Dai Xue nodded, stepped forward and saluted Jiang Fengqing, then handed the medicinal materials in her hand to Xiaoying.

"Yesterday, our prince promised to send medicinal materials to Miss Fengqing, and he will not break his promise. These are all selected by the prince himself. The prince also asked his servant to tell Miss Fengqing not to hurt her body again."

The three of them stood at the door of Liangfeng Pavilion. The shadow of the towering gatehouse just covered the upper half of Jiang Fengqing's face. A black line slanted from the tip of her nose to her ears, and her eyes were hidden in the black shadow. It was so dark underneath that it was hard to see what she was thinking.

Without mentioning this matter, Jiang Fengqing had long forgotten that there was an injury on her neck. She didn't feel it just now, but now her neck began to hurt slightly.

She stretched out her hand and touched her neck lightly, speaking indifferently: "Prince Rong works hard every day to share the country's worries. It's hard for him to remember such a small thing."

Dai Xue nodded quickly, "Miss Fengqing has always been the most important person to our prince, and he takes everything into consideration."

"Then thank your prince for me." After saying this, Jiang Fengqing walked into Liangfeng Pavilion without wanting to say another word.

"Hey! Miss Fengqing?" Dai Xue was stunned, watching her go further and further in confusion, and quickly called her out.

"Do you have anything else?" Jiang Fengqing turned around.

"I just want to ask, Miss Fengqing, if there is nothing you want me to convey to the prince?"

"No."

After saying that, Jiang Fengqing turned around and entered the room directly, his movements clean and neat, without a trace of hesitation.

By the time Xiaoying chased her into the house, Jiang Fengqing was already drinking tea leisurely.

"Miss, are you going to boil these medicinal ingredients now?" Xiaoying felt that her lady was not in a good mood for some reason, and her tone became cautious.

"Open it and see what good things are inside." Jiang Fengqing looked at the four or five packages of medicinal materials that Nangong Zhuo sent over, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table.

Xiaoying quickly unpacked the medicinal materials wrapped in brown paper one by one and laid them out on the table.

"New vanilla, wild wood fish, white wormwood, and camphor wood are all medicinal materials that can be seen everywhere. They are also somewhat useful for reducing swelling, pain relief, and muscle growth." Jiang Fengqing reached out and flipped through it a few times, then wiped it with a silk handkerchief. finger.

He came to the conclusion: "Nangong Zhuo is perfunctory and serious."

"Xiaoying, look at the packaging of these medicinal materials. Are they still stamped with the seal of Deji Hall?"
