Chapter 172 Jealous?

"It's not that I don't want to." Jiang Luo's eyes flashed: "Mrs. Gu said that if I enter the mansion, I can only be a concubine. If you want me to be your concubine and live under the mistress, you might as well kill me. "

The plausible anger made the coldness in Gu Xiujing's eyes a little less: "You don't have to take what your mother said to you. Since I marry you as a wife, I won't let you be a concubine. I won't let you stand on my own at that time." I am half wronged."

  Gu Xiujing already has a plan in his heart, and he has read a lot of poetry and books with confidence, even if he leaves Gu's house, he may not be unable to live a good life. Besides, Gu's mother only has him as the only son, and she always asks to go back by herself when he is the heir to the huge Duke's mansion.

  Jiang Luo heard this, she felt disdainful in her heart, but her face was touched, and she called softly: "Brother Gu."

   Gu Xiujing held him in his arms, and it was considered reconciliation.

   Seeing the two making out with each other as if no one else was around, Jiang Changning quickly walked a few steps away to avoid hurting his eyes. Qin Huaisu frowned and raised his steps to follow.

   A few steps forward, there is a small stone bridge, and the stream under the bridge is gurgling and crystal clear. It looks somewhat similar to the stone bridge in the dream—

  Jiang Changning stopped and looked thoughtfully at the fallen leaves flowing down the stream.

   "Did you hear what the second girl Jiang said to me just now?" Qin Huaisu stood side by side with her, his eyes glanced sharply at Jiang Changning's face, and there was still a mischievous smile on Jun's face.

   "I heard that, and congratulations to the prince for embracing the beauty." Jiang Changning said compliments, but his face was expressionless.

   "Are you jealous?" Qin Huaisu tilted his head to look at her, his peach eyes were full of small smiles.

   "Prince Wang is gentle and personable, Mr. Xu is outstanding in appearance and literary talent, and Mr. Li has a wealth of wealth." Jiang Changning said with a troubled look: "You are all so outstanding, it is really difficult to make a choice at the moment—"

   Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the voice of grinding teeth sounded in the ear: "Jiang! Chang! Ning!"

   "Here! My lord." Jiang Changning smiled, showing his snow-white canine teeth: "Your lord is very knowledgeable and insightful, why don't you give me some advice?"

  Qin Huaisu was annoyed and irritated at the same time. He probably didn't know that the little girl said these words deliberately to provoke him, but he still couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

Jiang Changning is his for the rest of his life, so he can only be tied to him. The other princes, nobles, Zhao Qiansun, Li Gongzi, etc., don't say they are showing affection to her. He just hears that these people are listed with Jiang Changning's name It's not the taste anymore.

  Qin Huaisu's handsome face showed a little dissatisfaction, and there was a trace of grievance in his eyes deliberately showing weakness, Jiang Changning couldn't bear to see it.

  Jiang Changning felt a little sweetness in his heart. There is no doubt how much Qin Huaisu valued her, but it was still funny to see him react so strongly because of a few teasing words.

   "Okay."

  Jiang Changning chuckled, took the initiative to take Qin Huaisu's hand, and watched the expression on the man's face soften in an instant.

   It's very coaxing. Jiang Changning turned his face away and hooked his lips, a smile spread from the corner of his mouth to his eyelashes, bending into a happy look.

  Qin Huaisu clenched her hand behind his back, tightly tightened it to vent his dissatisfaction just now, and then held it in the palm of his hand cherishingly, interlocking his fingers.

  The two held hands and walked back all the way. Wild flowers bloomed along the road, and the shade of the trees blocked out the sun. Occasionally, the sun shone through the layers of leaves and sprinkled into patches of orange light, like a dream.

  Walking for a while, Jiang Changning recalled Hou Shanqian's mother's advice and couldn't help showing some sadness. The second aunt was seriously ill, and she didn't see the legendary Buddha fruit this time, so she didn't know what to do now.

"What's wrong?"

  Qin Huaisu's whole mind was drawn by the person in his hand, seeing her restless, he asked with concern.

Jiang Changning had nothing to hide from him, so he simply picked it up and said to him: "The second aunt at home has been seriously ill for a long time, and my mother has always cared about it. In addition to praying to the Buddha this time , my mother heard that there is a kind of Buddha fruit that can cure all diseases in the back mountain, so I found it. But I searched a few times, but I haven't seen such a sacred object. I don't know how to explain it to my mother when I go back. I don’t know what to do when I’m sick.”

  Qin Huaisu listened patiently, and pondered for a moment, but he had never heard of Buddhahood, so he thought for a while and asked, "What is the illness of the second lady?" Maybe he can help.

  Jiang Changning also thought of this, his eyes lit up, thinking that there are many capable people in Yanwang's mansion, and there are other connections, maybe he really has something to do, so he hurriedly described the second aunt's illness.

The Jiang family found a doctor for a consultation, and they all said that the second aunt was suffering from diabetes, with depletion of yin and body fluid, excessive dryness and heat, and must focus on nourishing the lungs, nourishing the stomach, and nourishing the kidneys, but the pathogenesis of Sanxiao is very closely related. Long-term quenching thirst leads to blood stasis, yin damage and yang, heat burning body fluid and blood stasis, resulting in damage to both qi and yin, loss of nourishment of meridians, and disorder of qi and blood.

  Sent to a secluded house outside for recuperation and rest for so long, there is no half effect. Even the viscera and organs have been damaged for a long time, and symptoms of limb numbness, kidney failure and edema have appeared.

   After looking for a few doctors, they all said that they were at a loss. Jiang's mother had no choice but to go to the doctor in a hurry, so she thought of using the effect of Buddha fruit.

Seeing that Jiang Changning became more and more worried, Qin Huaisu comforted her and tightened her hand, and then said: "I seem to have heard of this kind of thirst earlier, there is a prescription in the family that may come in handy, wait until I get back." I'll ask someone to send it to you, and you can see if it works."

That's great, Jiang Changning's heart also ignited a bit of anticipation, it's better than the news of being helpless, thinking about it like this, the steps under his feet moved a little faster, and he was eager to tell his mother the news, so he returned earlier go to the government.

  Qin Huaisu deliberately walked slowly, and wanted to enjoy this rare time with Jiang Changning, but was dragged away by her.

  Qin Huaisu smiled helplessly, knowing that the little girl was in a hurry, he no longer procrastinated and strode forward to walk with her.

  After the next day, the Buddhist meeting ended, and everyone bid farewell to Master Kongchan and set foot on their way home.

  The carriage was rickety, different from how relaxed it was when it came, Mother Jiang frowned, and looked at Jiang Changning with worried eyes.

I don't know who leaked the news, but the news that Jiang Changning was in charge of the phoenix spread in just one day. The official wives who participated in the Buddhist meeting later came to congratulate her, saying in words that Jiang's mother is blessed, and the daughter under her knee He is a very lucky person, who knows that Jiang's mother is not only not happy and honored after hearing this, but feels worried.

"Although Master Kongchan's words are ethereal, but he can't stand his reputation and his appreciation. His words will inevitably enter the hearts of others if they are spread out. Not long ago, I asked the housekeeper to tidy up the Zhuangzi in Qingyuan Town and come out. You might as well go and stay for a few days to avoid the limelight. When the rumors pass, the rest of the people will naturally forget about this matter."

  Jiang's mother calculated carefully, trying to keep Jiang Changning safe. Although Jiang Changbai was the only man in the Hou's mansion to inherit the official title, she never thought of selling her daughters for glory, not to mention the more she lived in this kind of house with bells and lanterns, the more she knew the difficulties of the backyard and deep boudoir.

  But the current Hou Mansion is still weak. If someone reports to His Majesty that the daughter of the Jiang family was personally told by Master Kongchan that she was destined to be a phoenix, and that the marriage is a minor one, they may have other intentions. Not to mention the powerful queen...

  Jiang Changning understands his mother's worries and considerations, and is grateful for her care, but this matter cannot be avoided by hiding words.

She shook her head with firm eyes: "Chang Ning understands, thank you mother for your daughter's consideration, it's just that we can avoid this matter, if someone wants to make a fuss about this fate, we will be guilty if we avoid it , and will lose the opportunity because of avoidance, and then it will really be impossible to deal with it.”

   There is one more thing she didn't say, in the capital, there is still Qin Huaisu who can protect him.

  Thinking of this person, Jiang Changning's eyes softened from the sharpness just now. After all these things, she has complete trust in him, and she can rely on him without reservation.

Jiang's mother thought about Jiang Changning's words carefully, and felt that what she said was very reasonable, so she simply didn't mention anything about hiding, not to mention that Sister Ning just came back to Jiang's mansion not long ago, and if she was asked to go out to avoid the limelight and leave Jiang's mansion, she would not Very sad. After all, the Jiang family will be able to protect her no matter what.

  …

  The two of them still remembered the prescription in their hearts, and the horse-drawn carriage on the return journey was fast and hurried. The journey and dust along the way shortened the schedule for half a day, and they returned home just after noon.

  Qin Huaisu was quicker than them, and just as Jiang Changning was helped out of the carriage by Hong Xing, he saw the servant who came to deliver the letter last time.

  The boy waited at the door for a while, until he saw Jiang Changning himself, he respectfully greeted him, and handed over the prescription.

   "Miss Jiang, my lord ordered me to bring this prescription, and the lord said that he sent someone to the Imperial Medical Office to see that this prescription is effective for diabetes."

   "That's really great!" Jiang Changning breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Huaisu acted thoughtfully, and this time saved her the trouble of asking the doctor again.

  Mother Jiang was also standing not far away, and her heart dropped when she heard this remark, and her impression of the Banquet King improved a lot in her heart. Not to mention anything else, at least this lord is very caring about Ning's words, caring for her and saving her life many times, he really treats her well.

After getting the prescription, Jiang Changning didn't have time to procrastinate any longer. Jiang Changning told Jiang's mother, and ordered Hongxing to send a banquet to the palace. Yard, hurry up."

  Jiang Luo sat firmly in the carriage until Jiang Changning left, and then someone helped him get out of the carriage.

   Mother Jiang glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, turned around and wanted to leave without saying anything. Jiang Luo called softly: "Mother."

   Mother Jiang paused and had to stop: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Luo bit her lip with a look of embarrassment, Jiang's mother only thought that she wanted to talk about Gu Xiujing's matter, and her face became colder: "Needless to say about marrying into the Gu family, my Jiang family did not send good girls to other people. There is a precedent for being a concubine in the mansion, if you have my mother in your eyes, you should make a break with Gu Shizi as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Luo shook her head eagerly after hearing her words: "Mother misunderstood Luo'er, I didn't mean to talk about Young Master Gu. It's just that my daughter just heard that the big sister went to deliver medicine to my aunt, maybe it's inappropriate. "

   "Let's not say whether this prescription is right for the disease. If something goes wrong, who can take the responsibility. It's better to let my sister come back. There are so many doctors in the capital, and they can always cure Second Aunt."

Jiang Luo thought her words were very tactful, but Jiang's mother just looked at her coldly: "Chang Ning has his own plans in his mind, if someone really dies, just come to me. It's exhausting, go back to your room as soon as possible Rest, and don't move around if you have nothing to do."

  Jiang Luo's expression froze, she answered yes aggrieved, and watched Jiang's mother leave. It wasn't until he couldn't see anyone that he cursed secretly.

  The second aunt of Jiang's mansion fell ill, and she followed the doctor's advice and has been recuperating in this remote courtyard. This place is secluded, and only a few people are left to take care of her.

   This is a house with three entrances and three exits. Several fruit trees are planted in front of the door, and grape trellises are set up in the yard. At this time, the vines are green, and the leaves are still covered with blue and purple grapes.

  The wasteland behind the house has also been opened up and planted with seasonal vegetables. Although Second Concubine's status as a concubine is humble, Jiang Changyuan is a serious master. This time, when she came to the house to recuperate, besides the old man who was waiting in the yard, Mother Jiang also sent a few nurses and nuns to come over.

   One is to protect the safety of Jiang Changyuan and the second aunt, and the other is that the mothers and sisters are experienced. Although Jiang Changyuan is sick, she can't really let her do everything.

  Second Aunt has been sick for a long time, the doctor saw and took the medicine, but it didn't get better, and it even got worse. Jiang Changyuan and Second Auntie have a deep relationship, and I don't know how many times they cried in private.

  The second aunt advised her that life and death depend on life and wealth, and that birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. This time, Mother Jiang worried about her illness for a long time. Who is so lucky to meet a forgiving mistress, even if she dies, she can safely hand over Jiang Changyuan to her.

   Seeing the second aunt getting weaker and weaker, Jiang Changyuan was in pain and powerless. The two were not very close because of their status and rules in the mansion. Since moving to the house, no one has been staring at her, but it has made up for the mother-daughter relationship.

  Although the past few months have been desperate, it is also a rare happy time.

  Jiang Changyuan only thought that he would send away the second aunt in this house, until the person guarding outside the house came in and announced that the eldest girl's carriage had arrived.

  Hearing that Jiang Changning was coming, Jiang Changyuan came out to greet her with red eyes. These days, following her mother's worries and sorrows, she lost a lot of weight. Seeing her close sister, tears fell down uncontrollably: "Big sister."

  Jiang Changning's heart sank as soon as he stepped into the courtyard. The whole courtyard exuded a sickness, lifeless and lifeless, and even the ivy hanging on the wall outside was drooping listlessly.

   "Ah Yuan." Jiang Changning sighed in his heart, seeing his third younger sister haggard in such a state was not pleasant at the bottom of his heart.

  She hurriedly gave the prescription and the herbs prepared in advance to the steward, and sent someone to cook the medicine according to the prescription. At the same time, she took Jiang Changyuan's hand and walked into the house, and patted her hand with relief during the action.

   "Don't worry, I found a prescription, Second Aunt will be fine."

   "Prescription?" Jiang Changyuan held Jiang Changning's hand tightly. She watched the steward trot into the kitchen with things, and tears rolled down her eyes in the blink of an eye.
