Jiusu won three million in the lottery, then overworked herself to death that very night. She transmigrated to ancient times, where her brother and sister-in-law wanted to sell her as a concubine. ...
Chapter 289 Complete the task and obtain the surgical equipment relocation skill
The hot pot restaurant was well received and made a lot of money.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the 'Earn 120,000 taels' mission and receiving 888 gold leaves.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for accepting the 'Two Hundred and Forty Thousand Taels' mission. Complete the mission and gain the surgical equipment relocation skill (click for details)]
Excluding the expenses of coming to Shengjing.
Jiusu looked at her remaining balance of 100,000 taels of silver and 1,000 gold leaves, feeling particularly satisfied. She clicked on the skill and said happily, "If we can move the surgical equipment outside, we won't have to worry about exposing the system when treating difficult cases. However, 100 gold leaves per operation is a bit expensive."
Now she can do it ten times.
I hope everyone is healthy and safe and never needs to use it.
She is also a small rich woman.
Today, the 100th day banquet of Prince Chang’s youngest son was held, and court ministers and noble ladies were invited. Princess Chang was dressed in bright red, wearing a warm hat, holding her son and accepting blessings.
"Thank you very much. Please come in."
The male and female guests were not together. Jiusu met Jiang Nianyin and was about to go to the women's hall when Qiu Shishu came over and sighed, "She left with Lord Song. It's true that when a girl grows up, she can't be kept."
Jiusu didn't expect Qiu Man to be so bold.
But since he's gone, there's no reason to blame him.
She consoled him, "Sir Song is a man of integrity and great martial arts skills. Manman will be fine."
Qiu Shishu was also confident in Song Wang's character: "Let her be as wild as she wants."
The Crown Princess is pregnant and cannot attend weddings or funerals.
But they also sent people to deliver gifts.
This son of Prince Chang was the eldest grandson, and Emperor Xu valued him very much. He ordered Eunuch Shang to bring an imperial edict and come to congratulate him. Prince Chang said happily, "Eunuch Shang, let's have a toast."
"Yes, I obey your command."
Eunuch Shang was led to the main table. The ministers did not dare to speak rudely. He was a favorite of the emperor and represented the emperor. They all invited him to sit in the main seat.
But the Prime Minister was also there.
He sat next to the prime minister.
Xu Jincai, dressed beautifully, slowly appeared in the men's hall. She put down the gift and congratulated Prince Chang, "Second brother, congratulations on the birth of your precious son. I hope your nephew will be successful. Don't forget me."
Prince Chang patted her shoulder and said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, my royal sister, I'll definitely be even happier."
Xu Jincai left with peace of mind and turned to go to the women's hall. She sat next to Jiusu and held her head high.
Jiusu felt that she must be sick.
He comes to cause trouble again and again.
Xu Jincai asked, "Aren't you an official appointed by the imperial court? Why are you in the women's hall?"
Jiusu said, "I am the only female official, so shouldn't I have a separate table?"
Xu Jincai's smile froze. Fortunately, there was a 'sensible' court lady beside her, holding a wine cup and coming to compliment her. She nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Miss Hu is thoughtful."
Hu Qian smiled secretly, she caught a glimpse of the two of them out of the corner of her eye and whispered.
"Princess, the Marquis's wife and Miss Li are here."
Xu Jincai couldn't help but feel surprised. The Marquis's wife was in poor health, yet she came with Li Yulan. She really doted on this adopted daughter.
Li Yulan walked towards her and bowed.
"Meet the princess."
"Get up." Xu Jincai also went to greet Yi Hui, then returned to her seat. Watching the Marquis's wife walk towards Aunt Jiang, the corners of her mouth curled up.
She is good friends with Li Yulan.
If she marries Jiang Jing again, she will have many forces supporting her.
King Chang ascended the throne.
She is the most honorable eldest princess.
Xu Jincai asked, "Why are you so invisible?"
An unnatural look flashed across Li Yulan's face. She suppressed her throat and coughed, "I've been sick recently and have been recuperating in the mansion."
She looked at Jiusu who was very close to her.
The anxiety in my heart reached its peak.
Xu Jincai asked: "I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, I have to..."
"Princess!" Li Yulan exclaimed. Noticing the people around her looking at her, she whispered, "Jiusu is living in the Marquis' Mansion now. She doesn't know about this yet. I'm afraid she'll ruin things if she finds out..."
Xu Jincai was puzzled: "Why?"
Li Yulan whispered a few words into her ear.
After a moment, Xu Jincai raised his sarcastic eyes and looked at Jiusu.
Jiu Su: "?"
ill.
She cursed in her heart.
Jiang Nianyin covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Jiusu asked her what she was laughing at. She gestured for Susu to look over there, "Mother and Madam Hou are good friends, and you and I are also good friends. I think we are really destined to be together."
The bond between the two mothers extends to their daughters.
Jiusu's eyes lit up with a smile, holding the red porcelain teacup in her hand: "It must be a special fate."
Yi Hui and Zhou Nuanmei held hands, seemingly having endless things to say. The noble lady from Shengjing looked at this scene, feeling somewhat surprised. What day was it today?
The two of them actually sat together and chatted.
These two are enviable close friends.
At this time, Mrs. Hu, the wife of the Minister of Rites, came over with a smile and exchanged glances with the woman next to her. The woman stood up and she sat next to her.
"Madam Hou, you are in such good spirits."
Yi Hui touched his face, feeling warm in his heart. This was all thanks to Yuyu. "Thank you for the compliment, Madam Hu. As usual, I just wanted to share in the good fortune today."
Mrs. Hu said, "In half a month, the Hu family will hold a grand wedding. You must be present on the wedding day."
Is Hu Xue engaged?
Yi Hui thought that she was such a recluse that she didn't even know about these things. She said, "Congratulations, congratulations to Mrs. Hu."
"Ah?" Mrs. Hu was stunned. How could this be considered a blessing? She quickly said, "Congratulations, too."
Yi Hui was puzzled. What was he happy about?
She smiled faintly and continued chatting with her friend.
"Your Nianyin looks exactly like you."
Jiang's mother said, "Susu is it. When I first saw her, I was stunned. She looks exactly like you when you were young."
Mrs. Hu had no idea what the two were talking about. Even if she was dumb, she could feel the lack of enthusiasm of the Marquis. The Marquis was cold in nature, but she treated her mother-in-law well.
It can't be that cold, right?
It's just like a young lady from a marquis's mansion is going to marry Mr. Jiang.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She went to the men's hall nervously and asked the maid to call her grandfather.
Mr. Hu had drunk quite a bit of wine and was delighted to have established a relationship with Lord Li. Feeling dizzy, he asked impatiently, "I'm enjoying myself, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Hu recounted what had just happened.
"I always feel like something is wrong."
"What could be wrong?" Mr. Hu waved his hand, unconcerned. "Just now, the Marquis said that he would announce some good news in a few days and host a banquet. I think he must be very pleased with us and wants to build connections for Xue'er."
Mrs. Hu said happily, "Really?!"
Mr. Hu nodded and burped. "That's not fake. Okay, go back quickly. The Marquis likes quiet time, so don't bother her all the time. Stay with Miss Li and the marriage will be secure."
It was only after dinner that Jiusu heard about the marriage.
Jiang Nianyin said, "I just heard them say that when I was using the restroom."
Jiusu couldn't help but admire Li Yulan's cleverness.
"She wanted to use her status to find a wealthy husband while she was still in the Marquisate, but she didn't think about what would happen to the Hu family after the truth was revealed."
