Chapter 75: Hug your own wife
"It's a good name. It looks like it's going to open soon."
Xiao Yun stared at the four characters on the plaque for a while. He couldn't guess what kind of shop it was just by looking at the name of the shop.
Because of this, he was more curious about what kind of business Jiang Youning wanted to do?
But what he was more curious about was that Jiang Youning had already married Xie Jing. As a general's wife, she had everything she needed. Why would she want to do business?
After the opening date was set, Jiang Youning planned to go back to rush to place orders, but Yuanbao didn't follow her.
After she got on the carriage, she lifted the curtain and looked out at the bustling street.
Grandpa has focused all his energy on velvet flowers in recent years, and she has been in contact with velvet flowers since she was a few years old.
If Grandpa knew that she opened a velvet shop in ancient times, he would be very pleased!
Passing by a wonton shop, Jiang Youning smelled the fragrance. She hadn't eaten it for almost two months, and couldn't resist getting off the car to order a bowl of wonton.
"Sir, the wonton is here." The boss brought a bowl of steaming hot wontons and placed it in front of Jiang Youning.
She picked up the spoon and couldn't wait to scoop one up and put it to her mouth to cool it down, and then put it in her mouth to eat.
The luxurious carriage stopped not far from the wonton shop at a leisurely pace. Xiao Yu lifted the curtain and looked towards the shop, and saw Jiang Youning eating happily.
He glanced at the sign next to the shop, which said wontons. Can wontons be so delicious?
Xiao Yun wanted to go down and try the wontons with them, but he just thought about it and didn't take any action.
He watched Jiang Youning eat from a distance, and the more he watched, the more he thought the wontons tasted, and he was actually a little greedy.
Wei Chen glanced at the carriage, then at Jiang Youning, and no matter how curious he was, he didn't dare to ask anything.
Jiang Youning felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach halfway through eating, so she rubbed her stomach, looked at the steaming wontons, and continued to eat the wontons with a tight grip on the spoon.
Her stomach was cramping, and Jiang Youning, who was already afraid of pain, couldn't stand it.
There were still five wontons left in the bowl, and it would be too pitiful if she didn't finish them, so she endured it and left after finishing them.
Jiang Youning gritted her teeth, picked up the spoon and continued to eat the wontons.
"Ning'er?"
Lin Rushuang stared at her for a while to make sure she was not mistaken, then she walked over and sat down in front of her with a smile on her face.
"It's really Ling'er, I haven't seen you for a while, how is Ning'er these days?"
Jiang Youning raised her head and saw Lin Rushuang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and said in a faint voice: "Is it okay? Didn't you see it?"
Lin Rushuang looked Jiang Youning up and down. She didn't believe it when she heard that Jiang Youning married a cavalry general. It wasn't
until a month ago on the street that she saw Jiang Youning sitting in the arms of a cavalry general that she believed it.
She never thought that Jiang Youning would marry a cavalry general, a woman that even Shen Tanhua didn't want.
Now she saw that Jiang Youning was no different from before, and her dress didn't look like a general's wife at all.
With Du Huilan and Nan Mianmian around, it was hard for Jiang Youning to be favored.
Besides, from what Du Huilan said last time, the old lady didn't like Youning either, and the general would divorce her sooner or later and make Du Huilan his legal wife.
"I heard that the general is not interested in women, Ning'er is really lucky, I wonder how Ning'er got the favor of the general?"
Jiang Youning's stomach hurt so much that he just wanted to finish his wontons and leave. Lin Rushuang's voice was no less than a fly, buzzing in his ears, which was very annoying.
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
Lin Rushuang found that Jiang Youning's face looked a little bad, maybe he had suffered some grievances in the general's mansion, and his tone was not good.
"Of course it is related. We are good sisters. I see that you look bad. Have you been wronged? Tell me and maybe I can help you."
"I'm fine." Jiang Youning looked away and continued to eat wonton despite the pain.
"Ning'er, you just keep everything in your heart." Lin Rushuang suddenly asked: "Did the cavalry general wrong you?"
Jiang Youning: "..."
"The general treats me very well. I'm sorry to make you worry."
Lin Rushuang snorted in her heart. A dead duck is the toughest. If the general treated you well, would you eat wonton on the street? If you hadn't been wronged, why would you look so bad?
She grabbed Jiang Youning's hand and pretended to be worried and said, "Ning'er, we are good sisters. If you have any grievances, just tell me and I will help you find a solution. I have something else to do, so I came here first."
Lin Rushang knew Jiang Youning too well. She would take the initiative to find her if she couldn't wait for a day.
After Lin Rushang left, Jiang Youning felt a lot quieter.
Xiao Yun kept staring at Jiang Youning. Seeing that her brows were wrinkled, he looked at her carefully for a while and found that her hands were covering her stomach.
"Is this a stomachache?"
He stared at Jiang Youning closely. Seeing that she didn't forget to eat wontons even though she was in so much pain, he didn't know what was going on in her mind.
Xiao Yun looked at her for a while, and finally couldn't help it. He pushed open the door of the carriage and got out.
Jiang Youning endured the pain and ate the last wonton. After she finished eating, she found that her stomachache was even worse.
She took out ten cents and put it on the table. When she was about to stand up with the help of the table, she saw Xiao Yun walking towards her.
"Am I seeing things? The emperor actually came to the wonton shop."
Xiao Yun strode up to Jiang Youning. He had been looking at her for so long and didn't see any maids beside her.
Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at the tall man approaching. When she saw the man's face clearly, it proved that she was not seeing things just now. It was indeed the emperor.
She did not forget that she saw the emperor was about to salute. When she was about to bow, she was stopped by Xiao Yun.
"No need for courtesy when we are outside."
Whatever the emperor said was what it was, and Jiang Youning stood up straight.
Xiao Yun looked at Jiang Youning's face. He didn't notice anything from a distance just now, but now he found that her face was a little pale.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jiang Youning didn't hide it. "My stomach suddenly hurts."
Xiao Yun also guessed that she had a stomachache. Seeing that her face looked very bad, he was afraid that she was in great pain.
"Get on the carriage."
Xiao Yun saw that her face and waist were in so much pain that she couldn't straighten up. He wanted to carry her directly, but it was unreasonable, so he endured it.
He walked in front, not very fast, for fear that she could not keep up.
Jiang Youning covered her stomach and followed Xiao Yun for a while. When they were about to reach the carriage, she felt a sudden severe pain that made her eyes go black.
Not only did her stomach hurt, but her thighs were also sore.
Xiao Yun walked very slowly, his eyes observing her. When he found that she was staggering, he stopped in time, turned around and looked at her. He found that her face was pale, and his heart tightened.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Jiang Youning wanted to say how much it hurts, can't she see? She didn't have the strength to speak while covering her stomach, but the other party was the emperor, and not answering would be a contempt for the emperor.
"My stomach hurts..."
This sentence took all her strength. As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes went black and she lost consciousness.
Xiao Yun was quick to catch Jiang Youning's staggering body. Seeing that she was fainting from the pain, he didn't care about etiquette and just picked her up.
Xie Jing rode his horse back from the training ground and happened to see this scene when he passed by the rice noodle shop.
