Chapter 44 The Ring Awarded by the Ninth Prince
Lu Yunyang, who was drinking tea, just glanced at him.
"Well, it was given by the prince. It's not worth much. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Jiang Jiu didn't want to take Lu Yunyang's things openly, so he confirmed it again.
"I really like it. My husband, are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Lu Yunyang raised the corner of his lips nonchalantly: "As long as my wife likes it, it's fine. Besides, you said you would support me, so aren't all my things yours?"
"It's just an ordinary ring. You can play with it."
ordinary?
It does look ordinary from the outside, so ordinary that even rich people don't even look at it, but poor people can use it to exchange for some silver.
The Jiang family has pawnshops everywhere, so as long as the ring is pawned, Jiang Jiu will get the news. Nanny Qian is his mother's personal maid, so she still has some connections in Yiye Small Boat.
Jiang Jiu naturally knew that the ring was in the hands of the Ninth Prince.
It was indeed ordinary in the eyes of the Ninth Prince.
But the shopkeeper of Yiye Pianzhou was not ordinary at all.
The ring is made of white jade. There is a dark mark inside it that is naturally formed, like a small boat sail, but it is unique and cannot be replicated.
Moreover, the ring is hexagonal, with patterns printed on each side.
These six patterns combined into six words represent the token of acceptance of a small boat.
Although Jiang Jiu was young at that time, she had played with it for a long time. Combined with what her mother said to her before she left, she felt certain that this was the ring she had been looking for, which was taken away by the Ninth Prince.
But I didn't expect that it would fall into Lu Yunyang's hands so easily.
When Jiang Jiu got the ring, his heart was filled with shock, as if a tornado was brewing, but his face remained calm.
I didn't leave the house until I had packed my luggage.
"I'll go call Mammy..."
I held the ring tightly, my nails digging into my flesh, but I didn't feel any pain.
After entering the house, Jiang Jiu turned around and closed the doors and windows of Nanny Qian's room.
When Nanny Qian heard the news that they were leaving, she was also packing her things. When she saw Jiang Jiu's nervous and restrained expression, she was stunned.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
Jiang Jiu felt himself trembling with nervousness, his hands were cold, and he put the ring in Nanny Qian's hand.
"Mammy, look at this thing, does it look familiar?"
After the ring was taken out, Nanny Qian's eyes widened in shock. She examined it carefully for a long time and then cried with joy.
"Yes, it is this ring. How did you find it? Bodhisattva, I can finally get back Madam's things and return to the capital to avenge her."
When escaping from the house, Mrs. Jiang put the ring on Jiang Jiu's thumb herself and stuffed her little hand into the swaddling clothes.
Even after being on the boat for half a month, Nanny Qian often saw the child playing with the ring tightly in his hand, and she would not let him take it away even if she wanted it.
But just as he arrived in Suzhou, the ring was missing.
Aunt Qian still remembered that she fainted at that time. After waking up, there was a bag of steamed buns and a water bag beside her. Thinking of her young master, she quickly got up and looked for them.
But he found the baby in the cradle right beside him.
Crying loudly and waving her little hands, Aunt Qian glanced at the ordinary carriage that had just left, thinking that they must have left the steamed buns and water.
Aunt Qian thanked them for saving her.
But, from then on, the ring disappeared.
The child was too young to speak, and Nanny Qian had not been seen either.
It was not until Jiang Jiu grew up that Nanny Qian felt sad whenever she thought of the ring. Without the token, they would not be able to get in touch with the Jiang family in Jiangnan.
Who would have thought that later, Jiang Jiu actually said that he had seen the ring on the Ninth Prince's hand.
Now that she has finally found him, her young master can finally recognize his relatives.
Jiang Jiu patted Aunt Qian's shoulder and soothed her, "Don't worry, we will take it step by step. Although we have just got the ring, we still don't know the current situation of Yiye Pianzhou and the Jiang family..."
"Besides, I am young, and those shopkeepers have been in charge of the business for so many years... They may not be willing to give up their power..."
The future is long...
The master and servant discussed the matter in the room, and Lu Ming heard it clearly on the roof.
"Master, it's her..."
Lu Yunyang stood up suddenly: "Did you hear it clearly?"
Lu Ming nodded solemnly and firmly: "I heard it clearly. Miss Jiang Jiu mentioned the Jiang family, and also said that the shopkeepers of Yiye Pianzhou rely on tokens to identify people."
Lu Yunyang looked solemn: "The Jiang family is fearless. Although they have a new head of the family, in Sucheng, everything is up to me."
Just like Lu Yunyang, Lu Ming was angrily saying, "The shopkeepers of Yiye Pingzhou rely on their large business and monopoly skills to not take the prince into consideration at all."
Lu Yunyang snorted coldly, feeling quite helpless and angry.
Lu Ming agreed: "That's right. The things they use are selling well in other places, even if they are not in Suzhou, especially in Beijing..."
"More than ten years ago, they returned to Suzhou from the capital and have not stayed in the capital since then. I heard that they are looking for their boss and the ring."
But after so many years, Lu Yunyang didn't even know that the ring was actually in his hand.
At this time Lu Yunyang also remembered that he was forced to leave the capital and met Jiang Jiu and Nanny Qian as soon as he arrived in Suzhou.
He asked his men to give them some food and water, and took the ring from the girl's hand. But no one told him that this ring was a token of Yi Ye Pian Zhou, the richest man in Jiangnan.
"Master, now that the ring has been found, should we help Miss Jiang Jiu to regain the management rights and revive the business? This way, we will have money to recruit soldiers."
Lu Ming got excited just thinking about it. His master was the most beloved child of the late emperor and had no intention of seizing the throne. However, he was repeatedly suspected by others and had lived in the small city of Su for more than ten years, but he still could not escape the clutches of those in power.
It is better to create your own army and dominate the world.
Lu Ming had already guessed most of what Lu Yunyang was thinking.
"Hua Man Lou is about to open. I remind Ni Chang that within one month, all the spies planted by the court within my area must be eliminated without a single one left."
"Go and tell Gu Chengyan to help Jiang Jiu and make sure to take back the ownership of Yiye Pianzhou, the number one merchant in Jiangnan, as soon as possible."
Lu Yunyang paced into the yard. The sky was clear, without a single cloud in the sky. It was as clear as water and as blue as the sea.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
Once upon a time, he was that 'other', and now it's time for this couch to have a new owner.
"Spread the word that the Ninth Prince, Prince Qi, has been frightened and his condition has worsened. He needs to be recuperated and will not see anyone."
Lu Ming stood upright, clasped his hands together and said, "Yes."
"Shua" Lu Yunyang threw the fan away in an unrestrained manner.
Just now he was so majestic, standing alone and proud, exuding the aura of a king who was intimidating without even getting angry. But in an instant he restrained his aura and turned into a carefree, suave nobleman with a handsome smile on his face.
"Let's go home."
He's going to start eating the easy food.
In front of Jiang Jiu, he was just a dandy boy who spent his days in debauchery and living a wanton life. Apart from worrying about not having enough money to spend, he was a carefree and romantic playboy.
This role is still easy to play.
After being injured, his vitality was greatly damaged, and Lu Yunyang lost his composure while sitting in the carriage.
The whole person wished he could hang on Jiang Jiu.
"Would you please sit still? It's so hot."
Lu Yunyang closed his eyes and groaned, "I feel dizzy, and the wound is itchy and painful."
Okay, Jiang Jiu compromised, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and let it go.
"Miss, Madam Chang wants to see you..."
Madam Chang? Jiang Mingyue actually came to see her.
Jiang Jiu clenched his fists. It was just right. She also wanted to find her.
I had good intentions in bringing her to the Ninth Prince's Palace to see her, but she actually wanted to kill her...
