Chapter 21 Leaving the Jiang Family

The wooden box contained red silk, and on top of the silk was a pure gold bracelet, which was thicker than Jiang Yanran's.

Xie Jing gave this to me?

When Chuntao came in, she saw the gold bracelet in Jiang Youning's hand. She knew her daughter's jewelry better than her daughter did, and this bracelet was obviously new.

"Dear daughter, who gave you this gold bracelet?"

Jiang Youning pointed to the table and said, "Xie Jing put it here."

Chuntao was a little surprised, and then she was happy for Jiang Youning, "It turned out to be a gift from the general. I can see that the general likes you very much."

Chuntao didn't know that she and Xie Jing had agreed to get engaged. If she knew, she wouldn't think that Xie Jing gave her the gold bracelet because he liked her.

Jiang Youning looked down at the gold bracelet in her hand. Why did he give her a gold bracelet?

By the way, Xie Jing didn't say it was for her~

In the carriage

Xue Yi played with the folding fan in his hand, but his eyes were always staring at Xie Jing.

Yesterday, after leaving the palace, Xie Jing went to Wanbao Pavilion to pick out a pure gold bracelet.

He joked, "Master, why did you suddenly buy a gold bracelet?"

Xie Jing said, "For Jiang Youning."

"Master, has the bracelet been given away?"

[Based on the master's personality, I guess it has definitely not been given away. 】

Xie Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Yi, "I gave it to her."

Before leaving yesterday, he heard Xiao Yun complaining in his heart that Jiang Youning was dressed too plainly and didn't even have any jewelry on her wrist. Xie Jing, this blockhead, didn't even know to give her some beautiful jewelry.

Xue Yi was a little surprised, "Master, they are all gifts, how can there be gifts? Didn't Miss Jiang say anything?" Xie

Jing said, "Of course not."

Xue Yi always felt that something was wrong

after hearing this. Since Chuntao was rewarded, she has been bullied everywhere in the past two days.

Jiang Youning saw Chuntao coming back and hooked her finger at her, "Come here."

Chuntao came over with curiosity, and after hearing what Jiang Youning said, she was stunned.

"Miss, is this feasible?"

Jiang Youning chuckled, "How do you know if you don't try?"

Chuntao said seriously, "I know."

That night, Jiang Youning had a high fever.

Chuntao called the doctor and then called Jiang Xubai.

Jiang Xubai was in a bad mood these two days, and his face looked very bad when he came.

"Doctor, how is Ning'er?"

The doctor looked horrified, "Master Jiang, it's better to go out and talk."

Jiang Xubai looked at Jiang Youning on the bed in confusion, and then walked out with the doctor.

"What happened to her?"

The doctor said, "Master Jiang, your daughter has smallpox."

Jiang Xubai was stunned at first, then showed an unbelievable look, "You said she has smallpox?"

The doctor said, "Yes, master, smallpox is highly contagious, and it is easy to die if infected."

Jiang Xubai was panicked when he heard that it was contagious and could kill people, "What should we do, doctor?"

The doctor thought for a while and said, "I suggest that the patient be sent out to live."

Jiang Xubai immediately reacted, "Doctor is right."

Jiang Xubai called the servants and sent Jiang Youning out overnight without caring about her fever.

The Jiang family was in the tea business and had several properties outside, one of which was a house in the alley at the end of the street.

Someone had smallpox, and the people in the house were panicked.

The old lady snorted, "I think she is a doomed woman. Not only has

she brought shame to the Jiang family, but now I don't know where she got a fatal disease and has implicated everyone in the house." Jiang Xubai comforted her, "Mother, don't be angry. Your son has already sent her away."

The old lady nodded, "That's good. Remember to burn more moxa leaves and sprinkle more wine."

Jiang Yanran took He's arm and asked in a low voice, "Mother, will Sister Ning'er be okay?"

He said worriedly, "I can't say for sure. Smallpox is very difficult to cure."

Jiang Yanran lowered her eyes, "Then isn't Sister Ning'er..." unable to survive?

Back in the house, He said with a worried look: "Master, please send a few more doctors to see Ning'er."

Jiang Xubai said: "This is smallpox. No matter how many doctors there are, it will be useless. We can only leave it to fate."

Jiang Youning herself got smallpox, which was none of his business. Maybe Yanran would still have a chance to marry into the general's mansion. It was late

at night and the people were still.

Jiang Youning looked at the house arranged by Jiang Xubai. The house was not big, with two rooms, one of which was a kitchen outside, and a small courtyard.

There was a sycamore tree in the courtyard, and the leaves had begun to turn yellow.

In order to get out, Jiang Youning spent 80 taels of silver to buy doctors, and the smallpox was naturally fake.

If she had silver in her hand at the beginning, she would not have to wait until now.

Chuntao was cleaning the house. The quilts inside were all old, so they could only be used together.

"Miss, you go to bed first."

Jiang Youning was so sleepy that she fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

The house had not been occupied for a long time, and Chuntao spent two days to clean it inside and out.

And in the past two days, she had spent almost all the money in her pocket on daily necessities. It was time to work hard to make money.

Jiang Youning made two velvet hairpins in the past two days, one was an upgraded version of peony, and the other was a bright red lilac, which was very suitable for wearing on the wedding day.

"Chuntao, this velvet hairpin will sell for at least fifty taels. Just say it is a limited edition, and there are only three in total."

"Don't worry, miss, I know."

Chuntao disguised herself and went to the street with the velvet hairpin.

The streets were very busy in the morning, and the simple velvet hairpins were quickly snatched up by a group of girls.

Nishang Pavilion is very close to Wanbao Pavilion, and many noble ladies pass by here. It is a good place to sell velvet hairpins.

The day before yesterday, on Du Huilan's birthday, she saw Nan Mianmian wearing a peony-style velvet hairpin, and she was very angry, so she came out today to see if she could buy a better-looking velvet hairpin.

When she saw the servant selling velvet, she couldn't wait to come over.

"What new style of velvet hairpins do you have today?"

Chuntao has sold so many times that she has already figured out some ways.

She opened the box and showed it to Du Huilan, "Miss, this is an upgraded peony velvet hairpin. Do you like it?"

Du Huilan looked down and saw that the peony velvet flower had a few more petals, and the pink petals were stained with dew.

Only when I looked closer did I realize that the dewdrops were fake, but they were very realistic.

There was a butterfly on the right side of the petals. After shaking it twice, I could see the wings of the butterfly trembling slightly, as if it was about to fly to collect nectar.

Chuntao smiled and said, "Miss, this is a limited edition. There are only three in Jinling. Once they are sold out, they will be gone."

Du Huilan liked it at first sight. It was much more beautiful than the peony in Nanmianmian, with dewdrops and butterflies.

"How much silver?"

Chuntao thought for a moment and said, "Sixty taels."

Du Huilan looked surprised, "Sixty taels? Why did the price increase so much?"

*

Jiang Youning stood under the tree, holding a rope in her hand and throwing it on the tree trunk. She had just tied a knot and was about to test whether it was tight when a man suddenly jumped down from the wall.

Before she could see the person clearly, the person pulled her aside and asked, "Why are you so young and want to commit suicide?"
