Chapter 254 Quzhou’s New Year’s Ceremony

He almost didn't mention it in one breath and laughed angrily, "My lord, don't worry, my wife will never do such a despicable thing."

I am really embarrassed to be at my grandma’s house today.

Mr. He's face turned green and white, and she couldn't stay any longer, so she quickly asked the maid and mother-in-law to take Sun Ling'er back.

She apologized to Jiang Ning with a guilty look on her face.

Jiang Ning especially sympathized with her, "There is no need to worry, Mrs. Prime Minister. Today's incident will never be spread to anyone. Miss Sun is in critical condition. Please go and take a look."

"Thank you uncle, I will come to apologize to you another day!" Mr. He left in a hurry with his two daughters. Because he was so angry, he even neglected to salute King Xiaoyao before leaving.

King Xiaoyao watched them leave Guang Enbo's residence and muttered to himself, "What's wrong?"

At this moment, Jiang Ning didn't even think about complaining about King Xiaoyao. After He, mother and daughter left, she slowly walked up to King Xiaoyao and looked at him carefully, as if looking at goods for sale.

King Xiaoyao instinctively retreated and hugged himself warily, "Hey! What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with me?"

Jiang Ning sighed and shook his head, "I really don't know what Miss Sun sees in you? Is it your playfulness or your greedy age? Or is it the family background of this body? That doesn't matter! Your son is already so old. , please also invite Feng Shizi, even if she is a stepmother, she is only a few years younger than her, I really don’t understand what she is thinking."

Chi Kang's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. Fortunately, he was born with a cold face, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold back at this moment.

King Xiaoyao chuckled and stared at Jiang Ning coldly, "You slander me like this in front of me, do you really think I won't do anything to you?"

Jiang Ning backed away exaggeratedly, "Your Majesty, how about I kneel down and apologize to you?"

King Xiaoyao was furious. He was sure that if Jiang Ning really asked him to kneel down to him today, he would not even be able to enter the gate of Guang Enbo's mansion tomorrow, but he would feel aggrieved if he did not show off his power.

Chi Kang was also waiting for his master's reaction, but the expected violent outburst did not appear. His master actually said somewhat flatteringly: "This is some wine brewed by Baihualou. It is no worse than that of Yunze Winery. You I have never seen anything in the world, but I still believe someone else’s lies!”

The disgusting tone made both Jiang Ning and Chi Kang startled.

At this moment, Chi Kang finally understood why Li San's naughty attitude had lost his sense of control. Anyone who saw his prince's behavior in front of Guang Enbo would fall into self-doubt!

It took Jiang Ning a while to react, "So you went to Baihua House to ask for a drink, not a girl?"

King Xiaoyao was furious, "Jiang Ning! Who do you think I am? Am I a lustful ghost? Am I crazy when I go to Baihua Tower to find a girl in broad daylight?"

Jiang Ning looked at Chi Kang innocently, "If you don't believe me, ask him if he thinks so too."

"Your Majesty." Chi Kang licked his chapped lips, unable to finish his words. After a while, he said quietly: "I'm afraid everyone in the capital thinks so."

King Xiaoyao was dumbfounded, but it was only for a short while, and he soon returned to his carefree look, "Hey! What do they think have anything to do with me? I just need to be at ease! Come on, don't you want to taste wine?" What are you still doing?"

Jiang Ning had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to call Yang Datou and Liu Ye over.

The wines brought by King Xiaoyao were Baihualou's famous Peach Blossom Brew and Beauty Drunk. Peach Blossom Brew was light and suitable for scholars, while Beauty Drunk burned their throats and was the favorite of knights and generals.

Both wines have their own merits, and they are indeed no worse than Yunze Meng Qixing Wine from Yunze Winery.

King Xiaoyao saw that Jiang Ning was tasting the wine seriously and was a little surprised in his eyes. He immediately smiled arrogantly and said, "How about it? I'm not lying to you! Do you think that if you open a restaurant and Yunze Winery is next door, you can use their wine to pay back the price?" It’s not cost-effective to advertise for them! It’s better to use Baihualou’s peach blossoms to make beauty drunk. At least the two places are not together, so Yunze Winery can’t take any advantage!”

Jiang Ning understood, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you having a problem with Yunze Winery?"

King Xiaoyao sneered, "It's not like there's anything wrong with it. After all, my identity as king is here. Who dares to go against me? I just don't like them!"

Seeing Jiang Ning's curiosity, King Xiaoyao asked Chi Kang to explain.

Chi Kang paused and said: "Yunze Winery opened a store in the capital more than ten years ago. It coincided with the new emperor's accession to the throne. There were many upstarts in the court. The owner of Yunze Winery was named Dong. In order to gain a foothold in the capital, the Dong family He did not hesitate to send the women of the clan into the backyards of dignitaries.

At that time, the Dong family had the idea of ​​​​the prince, but the prince and the princess had a deep relationship and were very shameless of the Dong family's behavior. They once ordered their subordinates to come to warn them.

After that time, the Dong family restrained themselves a bit, but the habit of giving away girls has never changed. The subordinates have inquired and found out that the Dong family has a large number of people. Except for the direct line girls who do not need to be concubines, the other side girls must be prepared to be concubines. Be prepared, if you don't comply, you will be sent away by force. There were also people who resisted, but it seemed that the final outcome was not very good. "

"That's unreasonable!" Jiang Ning was shocked and angry, "Isn't there any government control?"

Chi Kang shook his head, "The government has nothing to do with it. Marriage matters, parents' orders to matchmakers, their parents think it's fine, so why should the government interfere?
I heard that some of the girls from the Dong family who were given as concubines lost their lives early, some were working for their mistresses, and their lives were worse than those of maids and mothers-in-law. There were also some who tried to escape and were beaten to death with sticks. Only one of them was beaten to death. Fortunately, I escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. "

"Who?" Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly widened.

King Xiaoyao looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you so concerned about the Dong family's affairs?"

At this moment, the housekeeper Song Fu came in with a happy face and said, "Madam, there are new year gifts from Quzhou Mansion."

Jiang Ning stood up suddenly, his facial features became brighter, "Quick! Datou Yezi, hurry up and take a look."

Song Fu had already asked the concierge to help unload the things. When Jiang Ning came out, he saw eight cars parked outside the door, all filled with stuff. He was shocked again, "Are these all New Year's gifts from my hometown? The second brother and two. You won’t send all your family’s money to us!”

King Xiaoyao was curious and went out to watch the fun, but was also frightened by the fight. "Your family is so rich, and you still complain about poverty to me!"

At this moment, he felt deeply that he had been deceived.

Jiang Ning ignored him and asked the servants at home to move boxes of things in.

Xiaoyao Wang wanted to see what it was, so he also followed it into the hall.

Everything was brought in, and the hall could hardly fit it.

Butler Song looked at the stickers on several boxes and said, "Madam, these should be papers. Do you think we should send them to the warehouse first?"

Jiang Ning opened one of the boxes and found that it was indeed homemade paper. The packaging was extremely tight and the quality was excellent.

King Xiaoyao came over to take a look, and was amazed, "This is the paper my niece brought back to the palace! Tsk tsk tsk! It's really interesting, Jiang Ning, for the sake of our acquaintance, give me some as a gift!"

"Okay!" Jiang Ning agreed very simply, which actually shocked King Xiaoyao.

Even Chi Kang on the side cast a speculative look.
