Chapter 363
The banquet themed on stone gambling was held on a painted boat. To add to the fun, the host invited many courtesans and actresses, and assigned female companions according to the temperament and preferences of the guests.

At that time, Jiang Nian had only been involved in shopping malls for more than two years, and he was already well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. The organizer was very sensitive to the situation. He knew that Jiang Nian was showing kindness, and his heart was arrogant and clean. Mo Xiulan, who is proficient in calligraphy and painting, has both talent and appearance, so I specially chose Mo Xiulan.

However, the reason why Mo Xiulan was favored by Jiang Nian was not because of her looks, but because she helped him a lot with her own knowledge.

At the stone betting conference, many jade and jewelry businessmen were gathered. Because Jiang Nian won the gold mine, he opened a jewelry store in Zhoucheng, so he was also invited.He was born in a wealthy family and lived in the court in his previous life. He also has unique insights into jade. His jewelry business is widely sought after among the ladies in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiang Nian really couldn't see the good or the bad.

The jade bigwigs who were present at the scene appraised the rough stones for a long time, and finally a well-known jade merchant in the industry made a bid, and the others waited and watched for now.

The first piece of rough stone was cut into a part of the stone shell, and it was a piece of fine jadeite.

With the first rough stone as the foundation, the price of the next few pieces was quickly raised, and the quality of the jade after being cut was better than that of the previous ones.

The last rough stone was several times larger in size than the previous ones. After the jade merchant who bought it at the beginning offered a sky-high price, the jade after cutting was full of water and almost flawless, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak immediately.

But at this moment, Mo Xiulan suddenly proposed to take a look at those jade stones.

Although she is a noble lady, the boss of the brothel where she works has long been trying to raise her worth in order to sell her for a good price, so many people present have heard of her fame, and the big businessman is also willing Sell ​​her face.

Just after Mo Xiulan saw the jade with windows opened, she bluntly said that these are fake jade.

Gambling on stones is risky. If the quality of the jade is good or bad, the family will go bankrupt. Everyone who participates in the gambling has to recognize it, but fraud is different!

The jade merchant asked people to cut up all the rough stones, and after further identification, it turned out to be fake rough stones.

After the conspiracy was exposed, the organizer of the fake Stone Gambling Club had already gone to the scene to make arrangements, took money and ran away.

And those jade merchants who lost their money put all their grievances on Mo Xiulan, thinking that if she hadn't meddled in her business, these almost genuine jades could still be sold at a good price after being processed.

Thus, Mo Xiulan became the target of public criticism.

Jiang Nian looked at Mo Xiulan who was standing in the center of the singing, being criticized for no reason by everyone, and thought of himself who was framed by An Chen back then, so he made a decisive decision and asked his subordinates to protect Mo Xiulan and leave quickly.At the same time, Jiang Nian used Jiang Qixi's connections to catch the scammers back in time and recover the losses of the jade merchants.

After this incident, Jiang Nian became famous in the Jiangnan business circle and gained great respect.

"Later, I redeemed her and let her work by my side. She is very smart, and I don't need to say too much, she will be able to handle things properly, except this time."

When the carriage stopped in front of a house, Jiang Nian's story was finished.

Ning Yuezhao sat up from Jiang Nian's lap, and reached out to hold his hand.

Perhaps Mo Xiulan planned to become a boss at the beginning, and Jiang Nian also needed manpower at that time, her talent and courage could just help him, and the cooperation between the two just happened to get what they needed.

As long as Jiang Nian only has herself in her heart now, she won't keep worrying about those past events.

Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao got out of the car together. In front of them was a big house, which looked ordinary.

Standing in front of the door was a man in a navy blue robe, who looked to be in his thirties, with a calm demeanor.

"Sui Yuan has seen the young master and madam!"

The man named Sui Yuan immediately knelt down, "This subordinate didn't restrain Miss Mo well, and made the son and wife unhappy!"

Jiang Nian raised his hand and said, "Get up, let's talk in the room."

After speaking, he took Ning Yuezhao and walked inside.

"See Your Majesty, Imperial Husband!"

Entering the side hall, Sui Yuan knelt down again.

"This subordinate almost ruined His Highness's important affairs. Please punish him."

This time it was Ning Yuezhao's turn to be surprised, Mo Xiulan just now clearly didn't know Jiang Nian's true identity, but Sui Yuan knew this.It seems that she previously thought that Mo Xiulan was Jiang Nian's most important person, but in fact she was thinking about it.

It is true that Mo Xiulan helped Jiang Nian manage Jiangnan's business, but it was Sui Yuan who actually connected with the news in the imperial capital.

Jiang Nian personally helped him up, "I can't blame you. Originally, I wanted to hand over the matters of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to her. Now it's too late to find another reliable person. Tomorrow Gu and His Majesty are going to Ningcheng. You can handle the affairs here." Well, join us later."

"Yes, Your Highness."

-

Ningcheng is the largest city in Zhejiang Province. When you step into this city, you won't feel the slightest trace of being ravaged by a typhoon just now.

The streets are bustling with people, and the people seem to live and work in peace and contentment.

Kangyu Palace is located in an inconspicuous corner of Ningcheng, but the pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and painted buildings, deep vegetation and deep vegetation have the unique charm of Jiangnan gardens, without losing the dignity and dignity of a royal residence.

At this time, in the study, Ning Ziyi sat on the armchair carelessly, with an unconcealed pride on his face, "Father, who doesn't praise us for your wisdom and kindness now! So what about the one from the imperial capital who flattened the northern border? For the people in the south of the Yangtze River, how can matters thousands of miles away compare with life and death in front of them?"

Thinking of those days when he was under house arrest in the imperial capital, Ning Ziyi was so angry that he wished to skin Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian to vent his anger!
In contrast, Kangyu Wang Ningxu seemed much calmer. He glanced at Ning Ziyi without moving, "Okay, you can step back first."

Ning Ziyi didn't understand why everything was under his control. His father didn't seem very happy, but seeing Ning Xu's serious brows, he didn't dare to say more, so he left the study.

"My lord is so talented, it's a pity to have such a stupid son."

A cold female voice came out from behind the screen, dressed in red like fire, tall and tall, with a red gauze covering her face, it was Qu You whom she had not seen for a long time.

Ning Xu said gloomyly: "Saint, pay attention to your words, no matter how unsatisfactory my son is, he will not be insulted by outsiders!"

"Outsiders?" The corners of Qu You's mouth under the veil slightly curled up, "I'm just telling the truth, if the prince thinks it's inconvenient for me to interfere in your Ning family's family affairs, then I'll leave."

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing Qu You turned around to leave, Ning Xu hastily called out to her, "It was the king who made a slip of the tongue just now, saintess, please stop."

Just kidding, this woman knows so many things about him, how could he let her go away intact, it's just that it's not time to hide everything.

Ning Xu has long been dissatisfied with that little girl in the imperial capital, why should a yellow-haired girl be domineering over him, but her bloodline is there.

For so many years, he has been waiting for an opportunity to overthrow the orthodoxy he has done.

At that time, Xu Zhi promised him that once the news of Ning Yuezhao being captured by Beiqi came out, he would go north to make trouble.But he waited and waited, but he didn't wait for the news of Ning Yuezhao's accident. Instead, he received the news that the girl had killed Emperor Li of Beiqi and announced the Northern Expedition.

When Bei Qi fell to the country, Ning Xu knew that Xu Zhi was also a grasshopper after the autumn, and he had no choice but to stand still again.

When a typhoon was about to hit last time, his counselors who were good at watching the sky warned him that Jiangnan was his fiefdom of King Kangyu, and the local officials had joined him most of the time, and those who refused to accept his call for peace , also surrendered under Qu You's head lowering technique.

It's just that the urban area of ​​Ningcheng is where his palace is located, and he doesn't dare to risk his old lair, the only ones affected by the disaster are the fishing villages on the outskirts.

First, they did not warn the fishermen along the coast, and poisoned the coastal waters, resulting in the death of a large number of fish. Then they released the news that a large number of fish were coming from the far sea, and induced the fishermen to go out to sea despite the wind and rain.

When a big typhoon hit, unsuspecting fishermen who went to sea innocently died in the sea.

King Kangyu then asked people to deliberately release a prophecy similar to the warning from heaven, and directed the natural disaster of hiding books in the belly of a fish.

When the court officials were unable to provide disaster relief, Kangyu Palace stepped forward to treat the disaster-stricken people and help them rebuild their homes.

King Kangyu's mansion has stood in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years, and it was quite capable of buying people's hearts, not to mention this time it was a timely gift, and its status in the hearts of the people has reached an unprecedented height.

Of course, Ning Xu was not so naive as to think that he could succeed in seizing the heir only by relying on the prophecy. The reason why he implemented such a series of things was because of the appearance of Qu You, who held the handle of Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian in his hands.

Qu You turned around and looked at Ning Xu coldly, "You Han people are the most important heirs, and now as long as the news spreads that she and Jiang Nian can't conceive an heir, people in the world will help you pull her down from the throne."

Didn't Ning Yuezhao claim to be more in love with Jiang Nian than Jin Jian?She wants to see how Ning Yuezhao will choose between facing the throne and the man she loves!

At that time, it will depend on how their husband and wife will turn against each other!
Ning Xu looked at the resentful Qu You, but he didn't say some words after all.

At this time, the housekeeper Zeng Cheng shouted anxiously outside the study: "My lord, there is something wrong with the historian's Qinghui building!"

Why would the historian cause trouble for him like this!Ning Xu said coldly: "Won't the Shi family handle it themselves? I have to settle any trivial matter!"

The butler Zeng Cheng was so anxious that he knocked on the door twice, "My lord, please let Xiao Rong go in and report."

Ning Xu gestured to Qu You with a wave of his hand, and only after she dodged back to the study room did she allow Zeng Cheng to come in.

Zeng Cheng whispered something in Ning Xu's ear, and Ning Xu stood up from his seat, and said in a full of anger: "There is a way to heaven if you don't go, and there is no way to hell, so don't blame me for being cruel! "
