Chapter 26 After the fetus was punctured, she just wanted to lie down
A shop with a good location cannot be delayed for too long. Even one day of being open less means a huge financial loss.
Ten days later, Jiuwen Supermarket opened.
The layout of the store was different from other stores. All the items were placed on shelves. There was a counter in the front, with a girl and a waiter on each side.
Shopkeeper Li was standing at the door greeting people, and there was a girl next to him who was responsible for counting money and collecting payments.
Except for snacks, everything in the store costs nine cents. Food and daily necessities are all divided into small packages. There are many varieties and they seem to be good value for money.
This kind of business model is unique and novel, attracting many people to come and watch the excitement.
While watching the excitement, I discovered that the goods were of good quality and low price, so I bought some daily necessities which were not necessary.
In this way, the store really made money. Within three to five days of opening, it earned as much as it had earned in the previous three to five months, which also opened the eyes of the honest shopkeeper Li.
In addition to the commission bonus that Jiang Jiu gave to the shopkeeper, the monthly salary that Shopkeeper Li received this month exceeded the monthly salary from the previous quarter.
When Mrs. Lu heard about this, she felt a little regretful for giving the store in such a good location to Lu Yunyang.
Besides, since Lu Yunyang entered Jiang Jiu’s room that night.
I stayed in Hua Man Lou for three or four consecutive days.
This made other members of the Lu family think that Jiang Jiu was not liked by Lu Yunyang.
But when everyone was looking forward to the fire in Lu Yunyang's backyard, Jiang Jiu not only made full use of the concubines in the backyard, but also made more and more money from the shop, which made those who were watching the excitement disappointed.
At midnight that night, Lu Yunyang returned home again at midnight.
After being busy for three or four days, when he came back, he just wanted to have a good sleep, so he tiptoed so as not to disturb Jiang Jiu.
But that night, Jiang Jiu had a dream.
The parasol trees in front of the yard have all fallen, and the lotus flowers by the water have bloomed.
After a night of drizzling autumn rain, the green and red begonias are nearing the end of their blooming season.
The Minister of Revenue Chang Mingyuan and his concubine Jiang Qiuyue were admiring the flowers in front of the corridor, holding their 100-day-old daughter in their arms.
The old butler stumbled over from outside.
"My lord, it's bad. The first lady is here and wants to kill the concubine who seduced you..."
Chang Mingyuan pushed Jiang violently and said, "I'll go to the front to deal with her, you hurry up and hide..."
"Master..." Jiang was forcibly dragged out of the yard by the maids and old women.
The front yard of the Chang family was in a mess, with maids and old women shouting and yelling.
In the backyard of the Chang family, Jiang's nanny and personal maid fled in a hurry through the back door, holding a baby.
"Hurry up and go to the Jiang family in Jiangnan. They will protect Xiaojiu no matter what..."
After going through numerous hardships and dangers, they finally arrived at the riverside, and Jiang handed the baby to the nanny.
"Mr. Jiang, the county magistrate of Xiang County, is my cousin. His mother is also my childhood friend. You can take your daughter to seek refuge with them. The lady loves money. As long as you give her enough money, she will take you in."
The nanny carried the baby onto the boat, and Jiang led the people who were chasing her to another place.
The boat started sailing, and the nanny held the baby and breathed a sigh of relief: "After crossing the river, we will reach the fiefdom of the Ninth Prince Yi Wang. I heard that he is only seven years old and is very favored by the late emperor. Even the emperor has to give him some respect. They won't dare to chase us anymore, right?"
Unexpectedly, the nanny was seasick and felt groggy all the way.
When the boat stopped, she could not wait to get ashore and planned to rent a carriage to continue traveling south. However, she fainted due to exhaustion as soon as she arrived at a forest.
However, from time to time, a low-key yet luxurious carriage passed by here, and the sound of a baby crying was heard.
"Wait a minute, let's go and take a look..."
The person in the carriage did not show up, but his voice was childish but carried absolute majesty.
The guard rushed to the nanny, took a careful look, picked up the baby beside him and went to the carriage.
"Your Highness, it's an old woman with a baby?"
The guard rummaged around the baby's body and saw a ring. He took it off and handed it to the person in the carriage.
"Whose child is this?" The childish voice in the carriage rang out again.
The childish voice spoke again: "No matter who it is, give her a bag of water and two steamed buns, and exchange them for this token."
Maid: "Your Highness is kind and saved the lives of both the master and the servant. In exchange for a small token, it is not a loss."
“Wow, wow…”
The earth-shaking cry startled them.
Guard: "My Lord, kill him."
Maid: "How dare you! Your Highness is not a murderer. Besides, she has only been a hundred days old. We don't know who took her away anyway. Let's go."
The baby stopped crying, and his originally innocent eyes were filled with anger.
Robber, bandit.
The Ninth Prince actually stole things from a baby like her. Just wait, when she grows up, he will take back everything that belongs to her.
Jiang Jiu suddenly woke up from his dream, breathing heavily.
Nanny Qian survived by relying on the saliva and two steamed buns. She carried her to the market and went all the way south to the remote Xiang County, where she took refuge with the County Magistrate Jiang.
This happened in Ningze thirty-five years ago.
Now fifteen years have passed.
Jiang Jiu, who was born with a puncture wound, has grown from a baby to an adult.
The ring her mother left her was still missing, and no one from the capital came to claim her life.
Jiang Jiu thought it was good to make some money and then just lie down.
Only Nanny Qian has always been thinking about the capital. She wants her to return to the capital and see if she can find her lost mother Jiang.
In fact, Jiang Jiu didn't have any good impression of his love-minded mother. She knew that the man was married, but she was willing to be two plus one for him. It was really incomprehensible.
The starry sky outside is full of stars, but I don’t know if it is the same starry sky as hers.
Suddenly, Jiang Jiu found someone beside him. He screamed and sat up quickly, only to find that it was Lu Yunyang.
But in the darkness, Lu Yunyang was not asleep. Instead, he opened his peach blossom eyes, which were bright and shining.
"Did you just have a nightmare?"
Jiang Jiu said nothing and looked at Lu Yunyang vigilantly.
Lu Yunyang's eyes are sharp and deep like the abyss of the ocean.
"You said you don't want to go back to Beijing? Are you from Beijing?"
Jiang Jiu suddenly discovered that he was actually talking in his sleep.
How come she never realized that she had such a weakness?
If he really said something incomprehensible in his dream, wouldn't Lu Yunyang be suspicious?
"No, no, I've been at County Magistrate Jiang's house since I can remember."
Lu Yunyang naturally didn't believe her: "Really? Then where is your hometown? What happened that made you come to seek refuge with County Magistrate Jiang?"
Lu Yunyang had already investigated Jiang Jiu, so Jiang Jiu naturally knew it, but he still used the same words to deceive Lu Yunyang.
"My hometown was hit by a disaster and my parents are gone, so I came to live with my distant cousin."
Lu Yunyang still refused to let her go.
"Your hometown suffered a disaster? Your last name is Jiang, is it your cousin's last name? Or is it your mother's last name?"
Jiang Jiu thought about it carefully. Her mother insisted that she be called Jiang Jiu. It must be related to the lost ring. However, her mother did not explain it clearly. Moreover, she was unwilling to follow Chang Mingyuan's surname Chang.
"My father's surname is also Jiang. It is said that my mother was adopted and took my father's surname Jiang..."
After Jiang Jiu's explanation, the fire in Lu Yunyang's eyes gradually died down.
He lay back down calmly: "I told you, it wouldn't be such a coincidence..."
"It's still early, go to bed..."
Jiang Jiu climbed out of bed. He couldn't sleep and was afraid of talking in his sleep again, so he decided to go exercise.
