Chapter 23 – Middle Evil
Chapter 23 Bewitched
One summer solstice, Jiang’s mother suffered from the heat and didn’t recover for many days. In such an unbearably hot and humid weather, Jiang Changning knelt in the ancestral hall and wrote scriptures and chanted Buddha for her for three days, until Jiang’s mother recovered from her illness.
At that time, Jiang’s mother was ill, and Changning only cared about her in his heart, so he couldn’t care less about making a comfortable environment. He knelt for three days, his knees were bruised, and he became thinner, and it took him a long time to return.
Compared to this, Jiang Luo’s punishment is nothing more than a small one.
“Okay, come and sit down.”
Jiang Luo quietly rolled her eyes, and went back to sit down beside Mother Jiang. Jiang Changning stepped forward and found a place not too far or near.
…
Sending away a few children, Mother Jiang felt overwhelmed, so she sent someone to call the housekeeper.
“Meet the old lady.”
“I remember I have a village in Shanghe County, how is the business there now?”
“Returning to the old lady, that Zhuangzi’s location is superior. Although it is far away from Beijing, it is also on the main road of transportation, and there are many merchants. It is also surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is pleasant. There were merchants who sent people to ask about it before, but now it is worth thousands of dollars. .”
Mother Jiang nodded. This land was her dowry back then, and it had been handed over to the housekeeper. She originally thought that it would be passed on to Sister Ning as a dowry in the future, but now she might have to use it in advance. Fortunately, Sister Ning has a fiancé-in-law from the Duke’s Mansion, and she will be able to marry and enjoy the blessings after suffering a lot of hardships.
“Okay, I see. I will arrange a few maids to clean up and tidy up in the near future, and then find some strong nursing homes. You will watch this matter yourself.”
“Yes, old lady.” Although the housekeeper was puzzled, he didn’t dare to ask further questions.
Mother Jiang rubbed her temples and waved her hand, “Go down.”
“Is mother there?” Jiang Changning’s voice came from outside.
Before the housekeeper left, Jiang’s mother was startled, and cold sweat broke out on her back because of her guilty conscience.
“If you go back to the eldest girl, the old lady is here, but she is busy at the moment.”
“Let Sister Ning come in.” The housekeeper withdrew, and Mother Jiang called out.
“Big girl, please come in.”
“I’ve seen the eldest girl.” The housekeeper came towards her and greeted her, and Jiang Changning responded with a low eyebrow.
“The housekeeper is here to report some household chores.” Mother Jiang explained herself: “What’s the matter with Ning Jie?”
“I just saw that my mother’s complexion is not very good. I am worried that my mother did not sleep well after working hard yesterday. My daughter has read a few medical books and learned how to make a sachet for calming the nerves. I want to give it to my mother. My daughter asked the doctor. This prescription is mild. , mostly calming and nourishing herbal medicine, with a light and mild smell, and it is good for sleeping at the head of the bed.” Jiang Changning took out the sachet from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Mother Jiang.
There were so many people in the room just now, only Sister Ning noticed that she was not looking good. After yesterday’s nightmare, it was difficult to fall asleep, and the headache didn’t get better until early in the morning. I thought it was enough for me to act nonchalantly, but I didn’t expect Ning to be so careful.
Mother Jiang felt relieved, and stroked the sachet in her hand. The embroidery was familiar, and it was embroidered by Sister Ning herself. The stitches were fine and orderly. Her favorite trick.
“Good boy, you have a heart.” Mother Jiang patted Jiang Changning, and called the serving woman to come in: “Take the key to my storeroom and go choose a piece of Jiangnan satin that was rewarded by the New Year’s Saint for Sister Ning. It looks like a flower like a jade.” Your girl’s house is so plainly dressed all day long.” She scolded.
Understanding Jiang’s mother’s intentions, Jiang Changning did not refuse: “Thank you, mother.”
One person goes to the old house, and a group of people come back.
Hong Xing came up to meet her, and looked at Jiang Changning followed by a group of servants who were carrying or carrying brocade boxes, and was surprised: “Girl, this is?”
Jiang Changning chuckled helplessly: “It’s what mother meant.”
Originally, it was a reward for a piece of cloth. Later, thinking that jewelry is indispensable for making clothes, I picked some hairpins and other things.
…
[Host, Jiang gave Jiang Changning many rewards. ] Jiang Luotuo’s system has been watching the movements in Jiang Changning’s yard. A group of people walked from Jiang’s mother’s yard to Jiang Changning’s in a mighty way, which attracted the attention of the system: [Please host the strategy carefully and increase the favorability of the main characters as soon as possible ! ]
Jiang Luo was dyeing her nails with impatiens flower juice with great interest, and blew on her fingertips when she heard the words: “It’s okay, let her be proud for a few more days, and the fish should catch the net.”
Thinking that she had spent a lot of money to lower Jiang Changbai’s head, Jiang Luo’s heart ached.
[Host points are limited and redeemable items are limited, please use with caution. ]
…
Suddenly there was a commotion in the yard, “Come on! The young master has fallen into the water!”
The accompanying boy ran into the Hou’s mansion with Jiang Changbai on his back. The person on his back was soaked, and one of his shoes fell off.
“Changbai! What’s going on—”
“elder brother!”
“Brother—”
The doctor was making a diagnosis and treatment in the room, and Jiang’s mother was anxious and panicked. She quickly grabbed the boy and asked what happened.
“The servant accompanied the young master to buy books, and before he reached the book store, the young master walked straight into the river, no matter how much he shouted, it was like…” The young man paused, his eyes dazed, as if he didn’t know what to say. .
