Chapter 461 Taking the Young Master? You mean taking the young master?
"Ping'er, even if you didn't pass the exam through connections..."
“You’ll only be eleven years old next year. When your mother was eleven, she was still playing in the mud. My Ping’er, there’s no need to rush to become an adult.”
"Life is unpredictable. Today you may be in a high position, but tomorrow you may not be a prisoner."
"For a family like ours, Mother only hopes that Ping'er can live a carefree life in these fleeting decades, without failing herself or her true self. As for the rest, let time do its work."
Ping'er finally fell asleep to her mother's gentle and soothing voice.
Her mother's words echoed in her ears, and she could still feel her mother's gentle touch on her forehead. In a daze, the tension in her heart completely dissipated, like a warm current slowly flowing into her heart, filling it completely. Her eyelids gradually grew heavy, and she drifted off to sleep.
After watching the child fall asleep, Jiang Nuanzhi quietly tidied up the books scattered on his bed, then blew out the lamp. She went back to her room and surprisingly fell asleep this time as well.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Jiang Nuanzhi got out of her warm and cozy bed very early.
She considered heading to the county town. She'd used up a lot of medicinal herbs yesterday, and since the old man's illness was different, she needed more to try. The thought of the current prices of herbs made her feel a pang of regret. But then she thought, "Isn't this what money is meant to be used for?" She consoled herself and quickly came to terms with it.
I'll buy a carriage on my way out later; I still have some money to spare right now.
The sky was still foggy when she got dressed and went outside. She was startled to see Lin Chun standing smiling at the door.
Lin Chun smiled and said, "Madam, you are well. You may now wash and dress."
Jiang Nuanzhi patted her chest: "Linchun, why are you here so early? I really don't need you to do this."
Lin Chun, however, stared at Jiang Nuanzhi's hair: "Madam, let me comb your hair? Or, can I give you some money?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Jiang Nuanzhi touched her disheveled hair, then glanced at Lin Chun, whose obsessive-compulsive disorder was acting up again. Her lips twitched, but she ultimately gave in to her.
Of course, her ten taels of silver were confiscated.
Yeah, I regret it.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked in the mirror: "Linchun, do I really have to dress so femininely?"
Jiang Nuanzhi awkwardly tugged at the ribbons of her dress and shook her head uncomfortably.
Lin Chun prepared a light blue brocade robe for her, embroidered with pale gold cloud patterns. The collar and cuffs were trimmed with white fox fur, and a black belt with pearls hanging from it was tied around her waist. Small pearls also hung from the ribbons tied around her waist.
Her hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with a pearl tassel and several pearl flowers on either side. The pearls were round and full, radiating a soft luster. They echoed the pearls on her belt, making her look incredibly rich and beautiful.
Jiang Nuanzhi was even given a sandalwood fan, with a landscape painting on its surface. With a casual movement, a faint sandalwood scent would waft out.
"Linchun, I'm a doctor. Isn't this a bit too much?"
It took Jiang Nuanzhi almost half an hour to get this outfit done. Jiang Nuanzhi always thought she was pretty good at dressing up, and she could even wear ordinary plain dresses very well. However, compared to professionals, well... never mind, it's too hurtful to talk about it.
However, the more she looked at the person in the mirror, the more unfamiliar they seemed.
“It’s not excessive. I wanted to dress you up like this the very first day I met you.”
Lin Chun looked at Jiang Nuanzhi with satisfaction. At this moment, she no longer had a tense expression, but rather her eyebrows and eyes were gentle and a smile was on her lips. Clearly, she was very satisfied with her work.
"So, where did you get these clothes? How much did they cost?"
Jiang Nuanzhi admired it for a moment, but then decided to face reality.
Lin Chun picked out these hair accessories from the jewelry box that Li Rong had given her, but she had never seen the clothes before.
Lin Chun never expected that the lady would ask this question. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Madam, this dress was prepared for you by the general. Didn't the general tell you? I suppose you were thinking about eating hot pot at the time and didn't pay attention. As for the silver, this outfit of yours is probably worth more than ten thousand taels, right? I don't remember exactly."
"Take the young master?"
"You mean Duo Shao?"
Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly sat up in fright, her clear, dark eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Lin Chun, seeing the stunningly beautiful woman before him standing with her hands on her hips and glaring, couldn't help but reach out to help Jiang Nuanzhi remove her hands from her hips. She said casually, "Over ten thousand taels! This dress must be some older Yun brocade; the price isn't too high. The expensive part is the pearls. And this sandalwood fan—noble ladies love this material."
Halfway through her sentence, Lin Chun suddenly looked at Jiang Nuanzhi and said, "Why does Madam care about this? The General has plenty of money, so you can just spend it as you please."
Jiang Nuanzhi's lips twitched, and the next second, her eyes flashed as she grabbed Lin Chun's hand: "Lin Chun, how have I treated you?"
Lin Chun was taken aback: "You? Although we haven't known each other for very long, you've been very kind to me, especially your food. I really like it, and I really like Madam too." Of course, this refers to Madam when she's not deliberately trying to annoy people; it's a different story when she's handling the teacup with her greasy hands.
Jiang Nuanzhi was surprised to hear a confession and coughed, "Then, can you tell me where your general's money is?"
Ah, what a fine Li Rong is.
She was reluctant to spend money here, but was thinking of investing heavily in researching an antidote for him.
But he actually had a secret stash of money hidden away!
“The general’s money is of course in the general’s mansion. Oh? The mansion was confiscated. Madam, I don’t know about that.” Lin Chun said, then casually added, “The general is always the richest man, he always has money. In the past, whenever we were in trouble, the general could always conjure up money. Anyway, we’ve never lacked food or drink. Madam, you can rest assured.”
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Wearing 10,000 taels of silver, you go out into the desolate wilderness to earn one tael of silver? No, sometimes it's just a few hundred coins of silver.
She can't rest easy!
Without saying a word, he immediately tried to pull off the hairpins and ornaments on his head.
"No, madam, you're already dressed up, you should at least go out and let everyone see you."
Lin Chun said with great regret.
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback: "You're right."
Then he went outside and called Chen Shu over.
Chen Shucai woke up, yawning as he approached Jiang Nuanzhi. Upon seeing her, he stopped yawning and stared wide-eyed.
"Dr. Jiang, what's wrong?"
"I remember you said you could draw, right? Come on, quickly memorize what I look like and draw me a good picture."
Chen Shu: "Huh?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Hurry up and draw a picture of what I'm wearing. If you don't draw it well, you won't get any food."
Chen Shu: "!!!"
"Hurry and watch, I'm going to change."
Chen Shu: "!!!!!!!!!"
Chen Shu: None of my family understands! This is how a day begins for a working person to break down.
Jiang Nuanzhi: Hmm, this camera is quite useful.
