Chapter 321 Kuroiwa Nami
It was a dark and windy night. On the mass grave, the croaking of frogs became more and more mournful, as if they were being inhumanly tortured.
In fact, this was exactly the case. After her body slowly recovered from its stiff state, Kuroiwa Nami grabbed the frog that jumped over and dug her long nails into its flesh.
Watching it struggling desperately in her hand, the corners of Kuroiwa Nami's mouth slowly curled up.
She came out alive, but Mrs. Shen, are you ready?
That night, Shen Ning was also having a nightmare.
In the dark night, she ran desperately on an unfamiliar path, as if something terrifying was chasing her from behind. Not only was there no one around her, but the gun that she never left behind was also lost.
She ran into the forest panting heavily, but a black snake suddenly fell from a tree and wrapped around her neck.
Chen Ning has been afraid of snakes since she was a child.
When I see it approaching, my legs go weak.
But today, there was an even greater terror approaching from behind. She didn't care about being afraid and just grabbed it and was about to throw it behind her when she felt a pain at the back of her head as if something had pierced into it. At the same time, the snake that had its tail wrapped around her wrist also reached out and bit her neck.
Shen Ning screamed and sat up from the bed sweating profusely.
"Mrs!"
Qingzhu was lying on a bench not far away. Hearing the sound, he jumped up and rushed over.
"Shh~"
Xiao Yue'er sleeps very well and was not woken up by her.
After Shen Ning signaled Qing Zhu to keep her voice down, she also explained in a low voice, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare!"
There was never a lack of people around her.
Even when taking a walk in his own yard, Qingzhu, Xiaodong and others are there to accompany him.
It was Wen Peilan. Nine out of ten times, she accompanied him. The only time she was not with him was definitely when he was teaching the maids martial arts.
"What time is it now?"
"It's almost Mao time, right?"
There is already a dim light outside the window.
As Qingzhu spoke, he took out his pocket watch and saw, "It is the quarter before 11:00 AM. Madam, you are sweating a lot..."
"Call for water!"
I don't feel well.
It might be better if you wash it.
"yes!"
So after a while, all the maids in the room got up early to accompany her.
She had not been in a very good mood that day. When she took a nap, she wanted to stay cool and got too close to the ice basin, so she felt dizzy that night.
The court doctor gave her acupuncture and boiled medicine for half the night before she finally calmed down.
As a matter of course, my daughter Jia Yue was moved out again.
Colds can also be transmitted from person to person.
Shen Ning honestly took the medicine at home for two days, and when she went out again, it was already hotter outside.
The June sun is very strong, and the Rakshasa delegation is about to leave.
Before leaving, Bazel and Iris came to the Jia family again, but this time they did not go to Rongguo Mansion, but came to Ningguo Mansion instead.
"Seeking to see me?"
Shen Ning was a little confused.
Although she was ill, she still heard that they drank with Jia She and became drinking buddies.
Jia She also took them to visit his studio and gave each of them a small seal.
This small thing, which cost less than ten taels of silver, won the two people's praise.
Because of this, they almost stayed next door for the past two days.
Come to see her now? “That’s not necessary!”
Although she was very tempted, Jia She was busy all the time and had finally become friends with the person. Now she had to step in... What if her friend turned into her enemy? Besides, in the current social environment, it would be difficult for her to see Jia Zhen when he is not at home! Chen Ning said, "Just say that I am still ill and take two exquisite gold hairpins from the dressing box that the queen just gave me, put them in a separate box, and take two jade pendants, and say that I personally gave them to their wives."
"……yes!"
Qingzhu hurried to get something.
Bazel and Iris, who were drinking tea with Xing'er, waited for a long time but no one came. They were feeling disappointed, but unexpectedly, this lady of Dazhao, who was almost regarded as a remarkable woman by everyone in the world, actually had a gift for their lady.
Is this an apology for all the anger he has been taking out on her?
Both of them were filled with emotion.
They also solemnly took out their gift - a rifle that Jia Lian had returned.
There were two guns in total, and they gave one of them to Jia She first.
But I heard that Madam Shen was a great gun lover among the noble ladies of Dazhao. The wine they drank with Jia She during this period was all sent by her. It was only right that they should come over to express their gratitude! "We will be leaving tomorrow. This gun is to thank Mrs. Shen for the wine she sent during this period. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we will be friends in the future."
The translator helped to translate simultaneously, "This time, Dazhao will have an envoy to Luosha with us, and we will also welcome everyone who comes to Luosha as a guest."
"I will tell our wife everything you two adults said without missing a word."
Xing'er nodded quickly, "Here, I will wish you two a safe journey on behalf of our wife and uncle."
As a manager, he also has certain authority.
He immediately ordered someone to bring two jars of wine to deliver to them on behalf of Jia Zhen.
The two left happily and returned to Huitong Hall. They were stunned when they opened the exquisite jewelry box that exuded a fragrant smell.
In each box there is a peacock that looks like it is spreading its wings to fly, its luxurious body made of gold is dazzling. Its wings are spread out, and the delicate texture and exquisite carving complement each other, showing its agility and elegance. The peacock's head is inlaid with gems, and its eyes are bright, revealing a noble and mysterious temperament! Oh my!
Both of them couldn't help but breathe a little heavier.
This was the most valuable gift they had ever received.
The anger that had been stuck in my heart completely disappeared at this moment.
…
In the palace, Liu Zhi requested to add one more member to the delegation.
"Jia She?"
The emperor was simply confused, "You are fine, why do you want to add him?"
Although Jia She made great efforts in dealing with the Japanese delegation, without the help of Jia Min and Jin Muchuan, Yu Zhijian might not have gotten involved in this mess.
"Your Majesty may not know this yet, but Jia She has become friends with Bazel and Iris."
Liu Zhi laughed, "After these two people were stripped of their wealth by Lord Yu in Tianjin, they have been poor and have not received enough respect from our Dazhao officials."
Of course, there is really no way to respect it.
They regretted giving something away and wanted it back.
There was a scene at the Ministry of War, where they were fooled by the old soldiers. From then on, Basel avoided the soldiers.
He asked Jia Lian for the gun, but because the gun was dismantled, Jia She bought time for his son, accompanied him for food, drinks and play, and now they have become friends.
"It was Jia She who was unable to return the gun for the time being, so he kept treating them well."
Liu Zhi said: "I heard that the Dazhao envoys are going to Luosha Kingdom. They have been saying why Lord Jia She from Rongguo Mansion is not among them."
At this point, he paused and said, "You also know that we treated them badly before. This time when we go to their territory, it is easy for them to be embarrassed. But if Jia She comes with us, it may be different."
emperor:"……"
Jia She inherited the rank of first-class general, which was a high enough status for him.
"Okay!"
The emperor thought about it and couldn't bear to see his family being bullied over there. "Jia She was delayed, but he is a good person. You can use him, but you can't bully him."
He is the only one left from the third generation of the Jia family.
For the sake of Da Zhao, Duke Rong even gave up his own daughter early on.
Jia She would just keep his neck down unless others bullied him at his doorstep.
After Duke Rong passed away, Old Lady Shi showed her partiality to him openly and asked him to live in the East Courtyard, so he lived in the East Courtyard...
The emperor, who was also hurt by the favoritism of his elders, actually felt very sympathetic towards Jia She.
The Jia family had made great contributions to the court, so he was willing to support him and let him live in peace.
But if we go to Rakshasa Country, there is a high possibility of unexpected changes.
"My minister is fine, why are you bullying him?"
Liu Zhi still had a favorable impression of the Jia family. "His joining the delegation was like a mascot."
In view of the miserable state of the Rakshasa envoys in Dazhao, the emperor and Liu Zhi made full preparations.
The delegation included not only civil and military officials, but also thirty elite soldiers and imperial physicians.
They also prepared plenty of gold, silver, money, and various pills.
The Rakshasas had prepared plenty of the hand grenades known to them.
Anyway, it is equivalent to telling the Russians that they are not afraid of force.
The emperor's edict soon arrived at Rongguo Mansion. After Jia She received the edict, he was completely dumbfounded.
He was included in the delegation list by the emperor. Is he going to the Rakshasa Kingdom? How is this possible? Grandmother Jia was also shocked when she heard the news.
She took the imperial edict that her son brought in and looked at it from left to right. She recognized all the words in it, but why did it feel wrong when put together?
"...Aren't those Rakshasas coming here every day recently?"
Jia Min read the imperial edict, then looked at her brother who was sitting there, as if he didn't know who was He Xi. She couldn't help but smile, "The emperor may think that my elder brother has a good relationship with them, so he temporarily added him."
The list of members of the delegation had already been drawn up, so this was really a surprise to my brother.
"But can I...?"
Jia She never accomplished anything great in his life.
I don’t think I can accomplish anything great in my life.
Now suddenly a big thing has fallen on my shoulders... I feel inexplicably excited but also stressed.
"What do you mean, okay?"
Jia Min laughed, "Brother, don't you know that you are very good at coaxing people?"
The Rakshasas don't know etiquette, and they have the nerve to ask for back the gifts they have given.
This has become a joke in the capital.
But is that a normal gun? Jia Min felt that they had to go back just to prevent Dazhao from imitating it.
But when they were about to go back, they turned around and gave the eldest brother a hand.
Either they felt that the gun had been disassembled and there was no need to hide it, or they really had a good impression of the big brother.
Jia Min secretly went to see it twice and always felt that it was the latter.
"The Luosha people love wine, so you should bring more wine this time, and also borrow two powerful guards from next door..."
Jia Min talked incessantly.
Although the eldest brother is better than the second brother, he is somewhat careless in doing things.
You can bring the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao with you, and two diligent servants who can cook. Of course, thick woolen clothes and other things are also indispensable.
Fortunately, the emperor was tolerant and allowed delegation members to bring up to six followers.
Maybe we can add another palace guard.
On this day, everyone from Lady Jia to Wang Xifeng was very busy. Together with Xing Shi, they packed Jia She's luggage, and they ended up packing two large carts.
This forced Jia Min to take action personally and reduce this and that.
When Shen Ning heard about the situation here, he sent a lot of prepared bullets and gunpowder overnight.
The guards of Ningguo Mansion have all learned how to shoot a gun, but no matter how powerful they are, it has nothing to do with Jia She himself.
After finding out that the delegation was led by Liu Zhi, she had only one thing to say: learn how to shoot and obey Lord Liu in everything.
Jia Zhen also came over overnight and instructed them again that they should listen to Lord Liu in everything. If Lord Liu tells them to go east, they must never go west. If Lord Liu frowns, they must not laugh. They must frown along with him.
If Lord Liu glares at someone, you must follow him immediately.
The last time he was spanked was because he didn't catch up immediately.
Anyway, Lord Liu is a smart man, and you will never go wrong if you follow a smart man.
Jia She understood.
He has not been smart since he was a child.
Both my grandfather and my father had told me that I should follow my brother Jia Jing from the East Palace and listen to him all my life.
My brother is gone, and Liu Zhi is as smart as his brother.
Moreover, the eldest sister-in-law also told Zhen'er, who was also not very smart, to obey Lord Liu in everything.
The next morning, Jia She, who joined the delegation in a low-key manner, took the initiative to make friends with Liu Zhi, who was much lower in rank than him. His attitude was very good.
When Bazel and Iris found out that he was also in the team, they hurried over.
Neither of them likes Liu Zhi, but Jia She treats him so well...
We have been traveling by land for several months, and now we are on someone else's territory, so of course we have to be polite to each other.
But whether it was Liu Zhi or other members of the delegation, even the Russians, they all soon discovered how much better their lives would be with Jia She's joining them.
They brought a cook with them.
No matter where you eat, the chef will prepare the meal himself.
…
Rongguo Mansion! The son who had always been ignored seemed to have a future. For many days, Grandmother Jia felt like she was in a dream.
The former eldest wife was now abandoned by her!
The eldest son was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and his daughter Lian'er was far inferior to Zhu'er.
But now...
Zhu'er is still taking medicine to recuperate, and she wants to take the exam three years later.
She sighed softly in her heart.
When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past and often call Aunt Lai to talk.
But the old lady didn't know at this time, because the gate management of Ningguo Mansion was too strict, when Kuroiwa Nami came to Beijing, the first thing she set her sights on was Rongguo Mansion.
However, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion is not so easy to fool, as the people he employs are all family-born sons.
And the Jia family members...
The clan rules of the Jia family were clearly stated. Although she had seduced two weaklings, it was impossible for her to get close to the Shen family by using their status as concubines.
After wasting a few days outside, Kuroiwa Nami finally hooked up with Nanny Lai.
This old nanny can send someone into the Jia family.
She once gave a little maid to Old Lady Shi.
It is said that because the little maid was so nice, Shen next door fell in love with her at first sight and even asked Mrs. Shi for her.
"...Be honest, the lives of your grandchildren are in my hands."
Two people were riding in the same car.
On the surface, Kuroiwa Nami looked honest and submissive, but what she said to Lai Ma was extremely cruel, "If you want to live, let your old lady go to the East Palace."
When the aunt comes, can Shen not go out to greet her?
