Chapter 7 Princess Treasure
Thinking of those past events, Jiang Yixi became angry and pouted, "Mr. Yu is getting older and she is no longer able to serve Xun'er. It's time for her to go home and take care of herself."
Aunt Wu snorted coldly, "It's best if you kick her out. Not only is that woman lazy, she also has a bad tongue. She often beats and scolds the little girl because her eldest brother is the uncle's long-term follower..."
When Jiang Xun was a child, his wet nurse took leave to take care of the sick man. Mrs. Jiang transferred her mother-in-law to take care of Jiang Xun's daily life, but the wet nurse never came back. When Jiang Chen was alive, she didn't dare to be so presumptuous. Now that Jiang Chen is dead,
, her elders didn’t care, so she gradually became bolder.
Jiang Xun also has a girl and a boy. They are both young, about twelve or three years old.
Jiang Yixi remembered that Mrs. Yu did like to beat and scold people, especially Jiang Xun's two girls and the boy, who were often bullied by her.
After rejecting the marriage, kicking out the people who should be kicked out, and having the people who should be wanted come over, then she could go to Zhuangzi with peace of mind. She also had to go to Huzhuang, which was located in the western suburbs.
The first thing to do is to help people. At that critical moment, the dieting nun helped Daifa practice. The dieting nun’s common name is Li Zhenbao. She is the daughter of Prince Yong and the direct granddaughter of the current Queen Mother. Due to her fate and health reasons,
When I was a few years old, I went to Zhaoming Temple to practice hairdressing and practice. I am now twelve years old.
The second thing to do is to "repay the favor" and find a way to cure Meng Cimo's eyes. She heard from Jiang Xun that the Zhuangzi where Meng Cimo and the old man trained was in the western suburbs of the capital.
Then secretly earn some money to make plans for her and Jiang Xun's future.
My mother, Hu, left some dowry, but not much, and the old lady has always been in charge of it. Among them was a Zhuangzi Huzhuang, where Grandma Wu's man was the head of the village.
My grandfather was an official in another place, but he was not yet a big official, and his uncles were not promising either. The Jiang Yixi siblings could not count on their maternal family.
Women in the Jin Dynasty could establish female households or groom themselves. Mrs. Jiang and Uncle Jiang were definitely not willing to waste her good chess piece. Even if she married an old widower with some status, she would still contribute to the Jiang family.
In the past two years, Jiang Yixi had to plan carefully. It would be better if she could find someone she liked. If she couldn't find someone, she would find a way to force the old lady to agree to her establishing a female household. Her past life experience told her that if she couldn't get married, she would rather not marry.
She asked again, "Mammy, how far is Huzhuang from Zhaoming Nunnery?"
Aunt Wu said, "Zhaoming Temple is at the foot of Qingluo Mountain, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there from Huzhuang."
"So close..."
Aunt Wu asked, "How does the girl know about Zhaoming Nunnery?"
Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "At the Peach Blossom Banquet, I heard several noble ladies whispering that Princess Zhenbao of Prince Yong's Palace was practicing in Zhaoming Temple. They also said that Princess Zhenbao suddenly changed her temperament last month and was clamoring to return to secular life.
She wanted to eat meat. Prince Yong, Princess Yong, and Prince Yong all went to Zhaoming Nunnery to accompany her, and the Queen Mother was too worried to sleep..."
Jiang Yixi really heard about Princess Zhenbao's clamor to return to secular life and eat meat at the Peach Blossom Banquet, while Princess Zhenbao heard it from Grandma Wu at Zhaoming Nunnery.
One day in April in the previous life, a little girl with long hair and plain clothes of a nun sprained her foot while passing by Huzhuang. She cried and knocked on the door, hoping to use a piece of silver to hide in Huzhuang for a few days.
That little nun was so rich even though she had long hair. Uncle Wu felt that her status was not simple, and there were only three men from the Wu family in the village, and he did not dare to keep anyone. He said that she would not be charged, but would give her some herbs and vegetarian food and let her sit there.
Take a rest outside.
The little nun didn't want to, and while they were making a fuss, a group of people came over, and an old nun forced her to carry her on his back, and called her "diet master"...
Jiang Yixi remembered clearly that one day in mid-April, not long after she had just gotten engaged, Nanny Wu went back to Zhuangzi and told her this as a joke.
Except for outsiders, almost everyone in the capital knows that Princess Zhenbao's religious name is ridiculously called dieting, but they don't know what nunnery she practices in.
If I could have a good relationship with Princess Zhenbao, many things would be much easier to handle.
At night, Jiang Yixi dreamed of being caught in rape again, and Meng Cimo told her to "live on"... After she woke up, she thought, maybe only by completely rejecting the marriage and changing her fate would she not have this nightmare again, right?
Early the next morning, the rain had stopped. The sky was clear and blue, and the red rising sun hung in the eastern sky.
The servants around the old lady went to the masters' yard and said that the old lady didn't sleep well last night, so the juniors didn't need to go to pay her respects.
Shuixiang brought back breakfast, which was the same as yesterday's breakfast, two small flower rolls, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of mung bean porridge.
Although Jiang Yixi was right about two things, it would take a long time to find out whether the third thing was accurate, so Mrs. Jiang did not let Jiang Yixi return to the kitchen.
Shuilu looked at the food and said nothing. She went to talk to her mother last night. The uncle's fall was not serious, but his foot was sprained. Her mother also said that the eldest lady would transfer her to the fifth girl as an errand. The fifth girl
She is a concubine, so she will work there for the time being. If there is a vacancy for the third girl, she will be transferred there.
At this time, she didn't want to get into trouble, and even betrayed a piece of information that was not important, "I heard from my mother that my uncle was invited to Ruyi Hall by the old lady yesterday. He didn't return to the main courtyard all night, and he didn't go to the office in the morning."
Jiang Yixi said with a cold face, "Don't tell me these things in the future. Those who know the situation know that you are talking too much. Those who don't know the situation think that I deliberately raised an ear to retaliate."
Her eyes were red and her mouth was pursed, feeling extremely aggrieved. She was thinking about finding her mother quickly and leaving here as soon as possible.
Aunt Wu also said, "Look at how frivolous you are, you are more girl than girl."
Shuilu couldn't help crying and ran away.
Jiang Yixi asked Aunt Wu to take a silver coin to buy a pair of pig intestines, some condiments and some Chinese medicine, and invite Jiang Xun to dinner at noon.
Jiang Yixi didn't have much private money, only a dozen taels of silver. Thinking of the five hundred taels of silver that she rejected from Jiang Xun, her heart tightened. Why was she so stupid before? She got the old lady's advantage in vain. No matter how stupid Jiang Xun was,
He would not tell anyone about Meng Cimo giving him the money. Mrs. Yu must have known about it and secretly told the eldest lady, who then told the old lady.
Jiang Yixi took out another twenty cash and asked Shuixiang to go to the big kitchen to buy more firewood. The government would provide firewood for each yard, but it was not much, just enough to boil water.
There is a stove in the side room of Zhuoyuan, which is specially used to boil water or heat food.
Not long after, Shuixiang walked into the gate of Zhuoyuan with the silly girl carrying a large bundle of firewood on her back and two bundles of firewood in both hands.
The silly girl put down the firewood, took out the ax from her belt and started chopping the firewood.
Seeing Jiang Yixi come out, she quickly stopped what she was doing and saluted Jiang Yixi.
"I've seen the second girl. Well, the firewood is a bit thick, I'm afraid the sisters won't be able to handle it...hehe."
He raised his hand and rubbed his face, and immediately there was a patch of black ash on his face.
The silly girl wears a double bun, is about 1.7 meters tall, has slender legs, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and plump lips. Her clothes are dirty and there are two patches.
