Chapter 21 Leaving the Jiang Family

Inside the wooden box was 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 better than the girl what kind of jewelry her daughter had. This bracelet was new at first glance.

"Girl, who gave you this gold bracelet?"

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

Chuntao was a little surprised, but then she was happy for Jiang Youning, "It turned out to be a gift from the general. I saw it. The general likes girls very much."

Chuntao didn't know about the engagement agreement between her and Xie Jing. If she had known, she wouldn't have thought that Xie Jing gave her the gold bracelet because he liked her.

Jiang Youning lowered her head and looked at the gold bracelet in her hand. Why should she give her a gold bracelet?

By the way, Xie Jing didn’t say it was given to her~

inside the carriage

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

After coming out of the palace yesterday, Xie Jing went to Wanbao Pavilion to pick out a pure gold bracelet.

He joked, "Why did the master suddenly buy a gold bracelet?"

Xie Jing said: "It's for Jiang Youning."

"Master, have you given away the bracelet?"

[With the master’s temperament, I guess he definitely didn’t send it out.]

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

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

Xue Yi was a little surprised, "Master, they all give gifts, how can anyone give gifts? Didn't Miss Jiang say anything?"

Xie Jing said: "Of course not."

After hearing this, Xue Qi always felt that something was wrong.

Ever since Chun Tao was rewarded, he has been making things difficult for him everywhere in the past two days.

When Jiang Youning saw Chuntao coming back, she raised her finger and said, "Come here."

Chuntao came over with curiosity. After hearing Jiang Youning's words, she was stunned.

"Girl, is this possible?"

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

Chuntao looked serious: "I understand."

That night, Jiang Youning developed a high fever.

After Chuntao called the doctor, she called Jiang Xubai over.

Jiang Xubai has been in a bad mood these past two days, and his face looked very ugly when he came.

"Doctor, how is Ning'er?"

The doctor looked horrified and said, "Mr. Jiang, it would be better to go out and talk."

Jiang Xubai glanced 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 for a moment, then looked in disbelief, "You said she had smallpox?"

The doctor added: "Yes, sir, smallpox is very contagious and can easily kill you."

When Jiang Xubai heard that the infection was fatal, he panicked, "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 after hearing this, "The doctor is right."

Jiang Xubai called his servants and sent Jiang Youning out overnight, despite the fact that he was still feverish.

The Jiang family is engaged in tea business and has several properties outside, one of which is a house in an alley.

Someone had smallpox, and everyone in the house was in panic.

The old lady snorted: "I think she is the Sangmenxing. Even if she brings shame to the Jiang family, now she has contracted a deadly disease from nowhere and will affect the people in the house."

Jiang Xubai comforted her and said, "Mother, don't be angry. My son has already sent her out."

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

Jiang Yanran held He's arm and asked in a low voice: "Mom, will Sister Ning'er be fine?"

He said with some worry: "I can't say for sure, smallpox is too difficult to cure."

Jiang Yanran lowered her eyes, "Then Sister Ning'er, wouldn't it be..." that she couldn't survive?

Back in the room, Mr. He said with a worried look: "Master, send a few more doctors to Ning'er to take a look."

Jiang Xubai said: "This is smallpox. No matter how doctor you are, it's useless. We can only leave it to fate."

It's none of his business if Jiang Youning gets into trouble if he gets smallpox. Maybe Yanran will have a chance to marry into the general's mansion.

Dead of night

Jiang Youning looked at the house arranged by Jiang Xubai. It was not big, with two rooms, one outside was a kitchen, and there was a small yard.

There is a plane tree in the yard, and its leaves have begun to turn yellow.

In order to get out, Jiang Youning spent eighty taels of silver to bribe the doctor. Naturally, the smallpox was fake.

If she had money at the beginning, she wouldn't have to wait until now.

Chuntao was cleaning the house. The quilts inside were all old, so she had to make do with them.

"Girl, you go to sleep first."

Jiang Youning was so sleepy that she fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

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

In the past two days, I have spent about the same amount of money in my pockets buying daily necessities, so it’s time to work hard to make money.

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

"Chuntao, this velvet flower hairpin sells for at least fifty taels. Let's just say it is a limited edition. There are only three of them in total."

"Don't worry, girl, I know this."

After Chuntao disguised herself, she took the velvet flower hairpin and went to the street.

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

Nishang Pavilion and Wanbao Pavilion are very close to each other. Many wealthy ladies pass by here, so it is a good place to sell velvet flower hairpins.

On Du Huilan's birthday the day before yesterday, I saw Nan Mianmian wearing a peony-style velvet flower hairpin. I was very angry, so I went out today to have a look and see if I could buy a better-looking velvet flower hairpin.

When I saw the boy selling velvet flowers, I couldn't wait to come over.

"What new styles of velvet flower hairpins are available today?"

After selling Chuntao so many times, I have already figured out some ways to do it.

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

Du Huilan lowered her head and looked at it for a few times. There were a few more petals on the peony velvet flower, and the pink petals were stained with dew.

When I took a closer look, I realized that the dewdrops were fake, but very realistic.

There is a small butterfly on the right side of the petals. If you shake it twice, you can see the butterfly's wings trembling slightly, trying to fly to collect honey.

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

Du Huilan fell in love with it at first sight. It was much more beautiful than Nan Mianmian's peony, with more 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 the rope in his hand and throwing it up the trunk. He had just tied the 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, "How can someone at such a young age want to seek death?"

Good night, babies!
