After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Entering midsummer (May), the weather has become hot, and ice cubes have been prepared in Wutong Courtyard early. However, life in the General's Mansion, no, now in the Jiang Mansion, is very difficult. After all, the mansion cannot make ends meet. , where can I get ice cubes if I don’t have money?

Jiang Bowen, who was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for more than half a month, was also released. I don't know if it was because Liniang suffered with him during the punishment, which made him feel guilty. Therefore, he immediately followed Huo after he came out. Shi proposed to marry Liniang.

Before, I couldn't do this because I had to keep filial piety, but now that Jiang Bonian is alive, there is no need to keep filial piety.

Aunt Zhao refused to let her son marry Liniang to death, but Jiang Bowen was determined, so she could only go to Jiang Changgong and cry. Unfortunately, Jiang Changgong didn't want to care about anything now, he just wanted to be comfortable for a few years, so he was very rude. Kicked out.

Aunt Zhao went to beg the Huo family again, but the Huo family didn't want to care anymore, but she also knew that Jiang Bowen's behavior still represented the Jiang family's face to some extent, and finally made a request. If Liniang wanted to come in, she could only be a concubine.

Jiang Bowen knew that if Jiang Bonian did not come back, he might still be able to threaten him, but now that his eldest brother is back, he is a bastard. If he really continues to work hard, he will still suffer the loss, so he can only turn his head. Convince Liniang.

Liniang didn't want to be a concubine, but she also knew that this was her only chance, so she could only nod in the end.

There were no procedures for taking in a concubine, and Liniang had no family, so that day, Liniang was carried around the house in a small sedan chair and then sent to the west courtyard of Bailanyuan.

Bailan Courtyard has two cross-courtyards. In the east cross-courtyard live Chunxiu and Xianglan, Jiang Bowen's two concubines. Although the concubines are better than the concubines, at least they have a status, but they cannot live in the main courtyard.

Moreover, I am half a master.

Liniang felt uncomfortable, but she had to accept it.

Chunxiu and Xianglan naturally didn't want to see Liniang, but since they had served Jiang Bowen since they were young, they naturally knew the second master's temper, so they were still very polite on their faces and even put some makeup on her face.

Liniang could provide a maid, so she proposed to Jiang Bowen that she wanted to take Amber over.

Amber ran to Wutong Courtyard immediately. After all, her contract of sale was still in Ning Ruyan's hands.

"This is your deed of betrayal." Ning Ruyan returned the deed of betrayal to her, "There is an additional fifty taels of silver."

Amber's expression was a little complicated.

"I've done what I promised. As for whether you want to leave or go to Liniang's place, you make your own decision." Ning Ruyan smiled, "But for the sake of you doing things for me, I Just a reminder, it’s best to think clearly before making a decision to avoid regrets in the future.”

Amber opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. Instead, she kowtowed to Ning Ruyan: "Thank you, Madam." Then she took her own deed of betrayal and stood up.

"Pinellia, give me amber."

Banxia sent Amber to the gate.

"Sister Banxia, ​​you said..." Amber actually didn't know what to do, and she didn't know what to do.

"Hu Bo, you are free now. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart." Ban Xia patted Hu Bo on the shoulder, "I dare say, in this Jiang Mansion, there are not many masters who can She is more kind than my eldest lady."

Amber bit her lip. "But, then again, you are all alone, and you still have money. It may not be a good thing if you go out." Banxia sighed, "So, you have to think about it."

Amber nodded: "Thank you, Sister Banxia."

After Banxia came back, she asked Ning Ruyan: "Miss, do you think Amber will leave or stay?"

"I can't say for sure. Whether she leaves or stays, it's the path she chooses. It has nothing to do with us." Ning Ruyan curled her lips, but according to her understanding of Amber, she would probably stay, because If you go out, you won't be able to climb high. If you stay in the Chiang Mansion, you can at least get in touch with the upper class people. Even being a concubine is better than going out to marry a mud-legged man and being the head wife.

Sure enough, news came that night that Amber had become Liniang's girl. The next day, Liniang brought her over to pay her respects to Ning Ruyan.

"Congratulations to Aunt Li." Ning Ruyan bought a gold hairpin and a pair of earrings for Li Niang. "Although it may be a little different from the ideal, it all depends on human effort."

"Thank you, madam." Aunt Li smiled and accepted it, then gave her the purse and handkerchief she had embroidered. "Without madam, there would be no such thing as Liniang today. In the future, whenever madam is in need, Liniang will go through fire and water." .”

"Okay." Ning Ruyan nodded. Of course, she only listened to these words and would not take them seriously at all.

At this time, fruit ice cream was served in the kitchen.

"Come on, you two should try it too. Aunt He thought of this herself. Grind the ice cubes into powder, and then mix it with fruits and cheese. It will be refreshing to relieve the heat and satisfy your cravings." Ning Ruyan picked up a bowl. Started eating slowly.

Liniang thanked her and picked it up to eat.

At this time, Bai Zhi and other girls pulled Amber to eat.

Liniang had always known that Ning Ruyan was rich and that the life in Wutong Courtyard was better than that in the entire mansion. Now she really saw it. You must know that this ice is very expensive, and now it is only used in Shoukang Courtyard, and even It is only used during the hottest time at noon, and it is not available in other yards yet.

But ice is already used for food in Wutong Courtyard.

I don’t know what will happen to the Jiang family in the future. Maybe she can hug Wutongyuan’s thigh tightly. If anything happens in the future, she can have a way out, right?
  Of course, Amber naturally had the same idea. Since she stayed in the mansion, she didn't think Liniang had the ability to be her backing, so she would have to be the eldest lady in the future.

Just such a bowl of ice cream made the two people's minds spin several times.

"Madam, before I come here, I went to say hello to you." Liniang put down the bowl and took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth. "My uncle is recovering well. He knew that I was coming to say hello to you, so he asked me to Take it with you."

Ning Ruyan smiled and said, "The uncle has a good intention. We always hope that the uncle will be well, otherwise the widow's reputation will not be very good."

Liniang also smiled: "I have been harassing the eldest lady for a long time, so I have resigned. I will come back tomorrow to pay my respects to the eldest lady."

"It's not convenient for me here. There's no need to come every day. Just get what you want." Ning Ruyan waved her hands. She was really not willing to deal with these people every day, so she simply refused. As for Jiang Bonian, if he still dared to come, She dared to really destroy him.

However, what Ning Ruyan didn't expect was that instead of waiting for Jiang Bonian, she waited for a visit from Yang Zilu. (End of chapter)
