Chapter 7 Aunt Wang
Jiang Xinyu gave a wicked smile as he looked at the thumb-thick ginseng he had brought back.
Judging from Chunhong's expression, you can tell that the mother and daughter definitely have nothing good to say.
But what does that matter?
Anyway, I didn't hear what you were cursing, so just treat it as cursing yourselves.
If they were to say it to her face, haha, she wouldn't believe that these ancient people could curse worse than her.
At this moment, Chun Xing also came back with a lunch box, bringing a total of four plates of snacks and a bowl of peanuts.
As a result, just as she put the things down, the girl in her family, who was not normal today, brought another ginseng over.
She said she wanted her to be sent to the kitchen to make a pot of soup for her using a whole old hen, and that the ginseng must not be cut but must be kept whole, and she also asked Chun Xing to keep an eye on it to prevent anyone from stealing it.
Chun Xing answered yes and turned to leave. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would not be able to control her expression.
I only heard that the bride was nervous, sweating and at a loss before the wedding. How come this girl in her family looks like a starving ghost reincarnated?
Could it be that she discovered the poverty of the Ningguo Mansion and was afraid that she would not be able to eat good food in the future, so she rushed to make a living at her mother's house in the past two days?
At noon, he licked the table cleaner than a dog. Now there are four plates of snacks and a bowl of cheese. In the evening, he also wants to stew a whole chicken and a whole wild ginseng.
Fortunately, the day after tomorrow is the wedding day. If I continue to eat like this for a month, I will probably be so fat that I can’t even fit in a sedan chair.
Jiang Xinyu no longer cared what the two maids thought of her.
She had already found out through this wild ginseng that the government was very tolerant of her.
The wedding is approaching, and as long as she doesn't act too out of line, everyone would rather keep their distance.
When it was time for dinner, Jiang Xinyu ate all the food, even the bowl of chicken soup that she had specifically asked for.
Seeing her daughter holding a century-old ginseng and crunching it like a carrot, Chunhong's palms were sweating.
The wedding is coming soon, it would be bad if the girl gets sick from eating too much.
Jiang Xinyu didn't understand Chunhong's anxiety at all. After eating and drinking, she washed up and said she was sleepy, and then sent everyone away.
After lowering the curtain, Jiang Xinyu tried to clench her fists and felt that she was indeed stronger than before.
It seems that wild ginseng is still effective.
It’s a pity that the energy of these things is still not as good as that of the crystal core.
A hundred-year-old ginseng would cause a normal person to have a nosebleed immediately after eating it, but it was just a drop in the bucket for her.
If she wanted to recover to her peak condition at the end of the world, even if she ate three hundred-year-old ginsengs a day, it would probably take her one or two months.
May the time-travel god bless her and hope she can change her original fate and find a new husband.
Otherwise, the Ningguo Mansion was a family of the highest quality. Not to mention ginseng, she was afraid that even the quality of her food would drop sharply.
For Jiang Xinyu now, you can cheat on my feelings but you can never cheat on my money.
Love is just a pastime, but small amounts of money are a guarantee for her to have supplements.
The next morning, Chunhong came early to wake her daughter up.
Today is a big day for adding makeup, but I dare not let the girl sleep until noon.
The little maid also put breakfast on the table. It was full, not large in portion but full of variety.
Jiang Xinyu yawned as she let the maids dress her up, silently thanking the time-travel god in her heart.
Fortunately, she was reincarnated as a rich lady. If she had been reincarnated as a poor commoner, she would not even be able to make it to the end of the world.
Just after finishing the meal, the nanny beside Aunt Liu came over and said that the guests had arrived at the main courtyard and asked the eldest girl to come over.
When we arrived at the main courtyard flower hall, we saw that there were already fifty or sixty boxes of things of various sizes placed in the yard.
The boxes were of different sizes, and the things inside were of varying values, but seeing the people around her praising Jiang Xinyu one could tell that these things must be worth a lot of money.
Haha, Liu's trick is actually quite clever.
Anyway, the late lady's dowry is under the watch of her parents-in-law and she can't touch it, so she might as well display it openly as a dowry for the eldest daughter. This way she can also earn her a good reputation.
When Jiang Xinyu dies in the future and Jiang Wanqiu marries in as a concubine, these things will naturally return to her daughter's hands.
This way, she wouldn't have to prepare much dowry for Jiang Wanqiu. One dowry would give her two daughters. It was really a good plan.
Looking at Jiang Xinyu, who was covered in jewels and jade and was praised by everyone, Liu clenched her fists tightly.
If Wanqiu hadn't said that she wanted you to give birth to the baby before dying, I would have given you a few bowls of sterilization medicine.
If it weren't for the scheming of that bastard Qian, how could I, a daughter of an official family, have fallen to the point of becoming a concubine?
According to the laws of the imperial dynasty, once a concubine, she remains a concubine for life, and cannot be promoted to a concubine without significant achievements.
Even though I was the head of the household for many years and there was no difference between me and the mistress, there was still a level of difference in status, which made my Wanqiu a concubine's daughter.
Whenever he thought of Jiang Xinyu's biological mother Liu, his teeth itched with hatred, and even the look he gave Jiang Xinyu was filled with resentment.
Jiang Wanqiu saw that her mother was going crazy again and pinched her quickly. Only then did Aunt Liu react and put on a kind face again.
Forget it, the children's reputation matters.
It's not difficult to kill this little bastard, but I can't stop people from talking about it.
Her husband treats her well, and her nephews and nieces from her natal side are also going to be married off. She can't ruin his reputation just because of her momentary happiness.
Mrs. Liu was happy to pretend to be virtuous, and Jiang Xinyu had no intention of ruining her reputation at this time.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the atmosphere on the scene was quite nice with everyone being so friendly and affectionate.
When it came to adding makeup, each lady took out the things she had prepared and put them into the box after being called out by the maid.
From a pair of small bracelets to gold and silver rings, no matter how much it is worth, it is a token of someone’s thoughtfulness.
At this moment, there was a discordant sound suddenly, and the maid looked at the things and didn't know how to report it.
Everyone's eyes were focused on a middle-aged woman who looked plump and wearing a bright red jacket woven with gold.
The woman was also a straightforward person. She saw the maid holding Jiang Xinyu's hand affectionately.
"It's so strange that Yu'er has grown up now, but she still recognizes her aunt."
After Wang finished speaking, she squeezed Jiang Xinyu's hand. Jiang Xinyu immediately responded by hugging Wang's hand and said coquettishly,
"What are you talking about, aunt? Yu'er is so happy that she's silly.
How come my aunt from Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, came here in person?"
Wang felt much happier when she saw Jiang Xinyu coming up.
When this girl was little, she was coaxed by Liu and couldn't tell the difference between a close relative and a distant relative. When her husband wanted to take her home, she cried and refused. Now that she has grown up, she has become sensible.
Mrs. Liu also recognized Mrs. Wang, and her smile suddenly became a little forced.
Ever since she drove out all the servants of the Qian family on the pretext that the maid who came with the late wife's dowry had stolen things, the two families have had no contact for many years.
The wife of the Qian family never sent a maid to stay in touch with Jiang Xinyu during the holidays, so why did she come to her house now?
And this damn girl is also abnormal. In the past, she looked down on businessmen because they were greedy, but now she is getting intimate with Wang.
Unfortunately, in this situation, she had to keep all her questions to herself.
Even though she looked down on Wang as a mere merchant wife, she was a legitimate relative of the Jiang family and she was a concubine, so she had to greet outsiders with a smile.
Qian Wangshi was also a very good social person and she praised Liushi a lot.
She said that her niece was brought up very well, and it was worth it that her sister-in-law personally married Liu to Lord Jiang.
When Liu heard this, she felt as if she had swallowed a fly and almost couldn't keep up her fake smile.
Some people in the crowd who didn't get along well with Liu also sneered quietly.
After all, she was the legitimate daughter of an official family, but she was taken in as a concubine by a lady of merchant origin.
So what if you are the exclusive concubine? No matter how much Lord Jiang likes you, you can't make him his legal wife.
Qian Wang had important business to do this time. After making a few sarcastic remarks to Liu, she took out a stack of banknotes, spread them out and put them on the box.
And what she took out again was actually a dowry list.
Those who were looking for good things suddenly had their eyes brightened up, and this time there was going to be some excitement.
