Chapter 46 Returning to Beijing
After the summer, Jiang Xian clearly felt that the shell of "Ye Hexuan" was going from bad to worse.

She will be very tired after walking a lot, and when she is tired, she will be out of breath, and she will almost faint due to chest tightness and shortness of breath.Mother Xu was worried and ordered her not to go out, so Jiang Xian had to stay in the yard all day long, teasing the little hairball, and reading the book that had been torn.

The cold rain is drizzling, the cool wind is thin, and the clouds are hazy.

With a book rolled up in her hand, Jiang Xian leaned against the window to listen to the rain, her thoughts racing.

She coughed lightly.

Calculating the time, it was almost half a year before his death.Originally, she planned to eat and wait to die, but now that she is huddled in this deep courtyard, she feels a sense of unwillingness and daze.

Xiaomao Tuanzi rushed in from the door, rubbed her trousers lightly, and then naturally lay down to rest by the rocking chair; Madam Xu and Cui Nong Qingyue stood on the corridor chatting, and there were a few laughs from time to time.

Jiang Xian glanced at the scallion, ginger and garlic growing gratifyingly by the corner of the wall, then lowered her head and took a sip of the herbal tea she held in her palm.

This herbal tea was brought back by Qin Yanfeng from Imperial Physician Du's residence.

Jiang Xian drank it a few times and found that the herbal tea tasted refreshing and could relieve her chest tightness, so she liked it very much.

She had nothing to do before, and planned to thank Imperial Physician Du and visit Qin Yanfeng by the way, but was rejected by Imperial Physician Du.Princess Jiayun learned about this, and came to tell her the eccentricity of Doctor Du, and no one could disturb her when she was treating the disease.

Having not seen Qin Yanfeng for a long time, Jiang Xian felt a little missing.

In the afternoon, the rain stopped.

The residual heat of midsummer mixed with the wet rain added a bit of viscousness to the hazy weather.

Jiang Xian had been bored in the mansion for too long, and this time she couldn't sit still, so she led Cui Nong out shopping while Madam Xu was not paying attention.

Cui Nong was frightened all the way, and said with a mournful face: "Young Madam, if Madam Xu finds out that I sneaked out with you, she will scold the slaves to death when she returns..."

"It's okay, I'll tell you something nice."

Cui Nong glanced at the pale Jiang Xian, "But Young Madam, your body..."

"It's okay." Jiang Xian blinked at her and smiled playfully, "If I don't leave the house again, I'll be suffocated to death."

Cui Nong thought about it carefully, since Qin Yanfeng went to Du Taiyi's residence, the number of times Jiang Xian left the residence can be counted on the fingers.In her wonderful youth, she was accompanied by medicine all day long, and Cui Nong felt sorry for her master from the bottom of her heart.

Ever since, she stopped saying spoiling words.

As usual, the two walked along the food stalls in the capital, eating from start to finish.Due to physical reasons, Cui Nong was eating and eating most of the time, while Jiang Xian was watching with a smile on her side.

Jiang Xian has no class consciousness. In her eyes, Cui Nong is a young girl who protects her master, and Madam Xu is an old man who treats her wholeheartedly.

After Ye Hexuan's death in the original book, these two loyal servants never appeared in "The Concubine as Empress" again.

Jiang Xian couldn't help but think, after the protagonist finished writing his life, what would be the fate of the supporting characters?
I was in a trance, but I heard commotion coming from the street directly ahead.

Cui Nong stood on tiptoe and stretched her long neck to look around, and said to Jiang Xian in shock: "Young Madam, there are people fighting in front!"

Jiang Xian's curiosity was at work, and she quickly asked, "Why did you fight? Did you get caught stealing?"

After finishing speaking, she squeezed forward to see what happened.

Jiang Xian couldn't help but change her expression when she saw that three big men were besieging and beating an old man.

The old man looked about five or sixty years old, with ragged clothes, a stooped figure, and a face like a dead tree.He tightly guarded the baby girl in his arms, and cried, "Even if you kill me, I will not sell my granddaughter!"

"The bad old man is still talking hard!" The big man raised his hand and pulled the old man's bun, and was about to kick the other's heart, when he heard a coquettish voice from the crowd, "Stop—"

The three big men stopped what they were doing, and followed the prestige.

But I saw a beautiful woman standing tall, she was wearing a woman's bun, and she was exquisitely dressed, and the maids beside her were also wearing Qiluo Jinxiu.

The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, and there are prominent figures coming and going.A flowerpot dropped from the upper floor of Fenghe Residence could hit court officials, relatives and relatives of the imperial court.

The three big men are not without winks. They looked Jiang Xian up and down, suppressed a polite smile, and said: "Madam, as the saying goes, it is only natural to pay back the debt! This old man owes us 20 taels of silver." If he can't pay it back, he can only use his granddaughter to pay off the debt."

The old man knelt on the ground stuttering, crying and said: "I entered the gambling house in a moment of confusion... I have caused misfortune to Nineteen Niang."

"See! We are not local ruffians robbing civilian girls, even if it comes to Jing Zhaoyin, we are justified!"

As soon as this remark came out, there were people who sympathized with the old man just now.

If you are so poor and still go to gamble, you deserve to be beaten!
Everyone thought so, and Jiang Xian shook her head with a sigh.

At this moment, the old man was also full of remorse, and wailed: "I, Tang Wanxiang, did something wrong! I am not human! I have caused Nineteen Niang a miserable death!"

As he talked, the old man wanted to find a wall to kill himself, but luckily he was persuaded by the crowd.

The three big men continued to tease the little girl.

Cui Nong muttered, "So it's an old gambler. Madame, let's go."

"Wait."

Jiang Xian raised her hand to stop it.

She took two steps forward, blocked the three big men, and ordered Cui Nong: "Give them 20 taels of silver."

Cui Nong was surprised: "Madam! That old man..."

"Hurry up and do it."

"……Yes."

Although Cui Nong was puzzled, but seeing Jiang Xian's resolute attitude, she couldn't stop her, so she took out a whole silver ingot and threw it to one of the big men, "Here, take it!"

The big man touched the silver ingot with both hands, but he was still a little confused.

He asked cautiously: "Is Madam planning to pay off their debts?"

Jiang Xian nodded, "Don't come here again."

The big man nodded first, then turned around and walked a few steps, then turned his head and reminded Jiang Xian: "Madam is kind, but you have to teach this old man to stop, don't come to the gambling house again and lose everything. You got a helping hand once, don't you?" Do you have to help them every time?"

Jiang Xian smiled slightly when she heard the words, but did not answer.

Several big men left, and the crowd of spectators scattered in sevens and eighties.Jiang Xian ordered Cui Nong to lead the old and the young to find a private room in Fenghe Residence and invite them to dinner.

Now Cui Nong doesn't understand anymore.

She couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Young Madam, what are you doing? Just give them some money and send them away..."

"Hush, you'll find out later." Jiang Xian made a fool of herself.

Tang Wanxiang and Nineteen Niang were too shabby. Originally, Xiaoer from Fenghe Residence didn't want them to go in, but when she saw Jiang Xian, she immediately let go and greeted them attentively.

Jiang Xian had eaten at Fengheju a few times when she was shopping before. The shopkeeper of Fengheju knew that she was the young lady of Yuguo Duke's mansion, so she didn't dare to neglect her.

Jiang Xian ordered the most distinctive dishes of Fengheju Badao, and after sitting in the private room on the third floor, she introduced herself slowly to Tang Wanxiang and Nineteen Niang.
