Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Chapter 314 Treasure Offering
"Nanzhu?" Jiang Ning instantly became more energetic when she saw King Xiaoyao tell the type of bead at a glance.

Seeing her acting like that, the King knew that this woman didn't know anything, so he immediately said, "There are several types of pearls on the market, including freshwater pearls and seawater pearls. No matter what, seawater pearls are always more valuable than freshwater pearls." Yes, after all, rare things are more valuable!
Leaving aside ordinary pearls, the more expensive pearls include the East Pearl, the West Pearl, and the South Pearl. The East Pearl is more crystal clear and round and huge than pearls. In Qi State, it only exists in the northernmost freshwater basin. It is a rare treasure and has always been a royal treasure. It is an exclusive thing that ordinary nobles and nobles are not allowed to own.

The West Pearl is more valuable than the East Pearl. The West Pearl is actually not as big as the East Pearl, but it is better because of its bright color. We in Qi have not seen it yet, so this thing is more precious than the East Pearl, but it is not exclusive to the royal family. After all, No!
Even more precious than Western pearls are Southern pearls. The so-called Southern pearls are pearls produced from Pinctada martensii, seawater pearls. We do have these in Qi, but they are in the sea. Pearl divers have never picked them. Nanzhu, it’s not like there aren’t treasures like this in the palace, but I’ve never seen one this big. This is really a treasure.”

King Xiaoyao was so fascinated by it that he subconsciously reached out to touch it.

Jiang Ning quickly covered the box with quick eyes and coughed lightly, "Since there is no problem, it will be easy to handle. The housekeeper will pay the money for escorts, and then prepare a banquet for several escorts in Baiwei Building. Datou, wash up, follow me. Enter the palace."

King Xiaoyao immediately guessed Jiang Ning's intention. He looked at the brocade box with a pity expression, but did not say anything to beg for punishment.

The mother and son handed the sign to the palace, and the emperor summoned them in the Xuanzheng Hall.

This was the second time that Jiang Ning, mother and son, took the initiative to enter the palace to meet the saint. Compared with the first time, mother and son were obviously much more calm.

The emperor waited for them to salute before letting Dekang give him a seat. He joked with great interest: "Did the Marquis encounter some injustice again when he entered the palace this time?"

Jiang Ning's face turned red, and he was very embarrassed. He quickly stood up and gave the blessing gift, and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, I came here today mainly to give you something."

Yang Datou immediately handed the brocade box to Dekang.

The emperor became more and more curious. After opening the brocade box, he was immediately shocked, "Is this... Nanzhu?"

Dekang marveled again and again, "Your Majesty, this is the first time that this servant has seen such a big Nanzhu in all his life! Lord Marquis, where did this thing come from?"

Jiang Ning also brought Yang Erdan's letter, "Your Majesty, this belongs to my mother's family. It was mined by my father when he went to the sea to fish for pearls. He has been hiding it until now. I think this is When the treasure should not be kept secretly, bring it to the palace immediately."

"Okay! I am deeply comforted by the loyalty of Marquis Guangen!"

The emperor only got the Azure Dragon Cauldron at the end of last year, and now he got such a rare treasure. He just thought that he was destined by fate, and the dragon was so happy that he rewarded the Guangenhou Mansion and the Jiang family with many treasures.

As soon as Jiang Ning took Yang Datou out of the palace, the news about the southern pearl spread like the wind to every corner of the palace.

Jiang Ning just smiled and got into the carriage in a good mood.

Yang Datou asked in a low voice: "Aniang, do you think the emperor will reward our family with something this time?"

Jiang Ning gave him a depressed look, "Don't say such words again in the future. Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. It's great if there is a reward. If not, you can't be dissatisfied. You just need to remember that our family has no background." , if you want to gain a foothold in this capital, you can only point to the emperor. As long as the southern pearl is in the palace for a day, the nobles in the palace will never forget our Yang family!
Of course, grandma also has selfish motives. Your grandmother's family is really in a difficult situation. If this bead can bring them some benefits, grandma will feel more at ease. "

Yang Datou nodded heavily and obediently stopped worrying about the reward. Instead, he stated the purpose of his return.

"Auntie, what do you think the restaurant's main dish is better in summer? Ye Zi and I have tried many kinds, but we always feel that they are a bit boring."

Jiang Ning shook her head helplessly and followed him to the back kitchen of Baiweilou. When she saw the dark dishes they cooked, she wanted to faint. She quickly ordered: "Go kill some chickens, let's make some cold dishes, and learn from them." !" On this day, Jiang Ning taught them how to make cold dishes at Baiweilou, from cold chicken feet, cold shredded chicken to cold cucumber, cold fungus, and cold seafood.

By the time all the cold dishes were ready, the people in the kitchen were enjoying themselves.

Jiang Ning told Yang Datou, "Do you now know what the essence of cold dishes is?"

Yang Datou pointed to the basin of prepared sauce, "That's it."

Jiang Ning nodded, "Yes, that's the soul of cold dishes. In midsummer, if you serve a few dishes of cold dishes, you can eat several more bites of rice. This dish is also the best dish to go with wine. Then we can make some ice powder to cool it down." Cake, sour plum soup, and snacks after dinner. Are you worried that there will be no business in the summer? "

Seeing that the problems they had been worrying about for so long were easily resolved by Jiang Ning, Liu Ye respected and relied on Jiang Ning even more.

The next day, Baiweilou launched cold dishes, and business was booming again.

When Jiang Ning heard the servant coming to report at home, he just raised his lips calmly and continued to play with his grandson.

At this time, the nun who had given Yang Xiaoya the education in the palace said, "Master Marquis, I think the young master is smart, lively and sensible, and it's time for him to be enlightened."

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her grandson who was squatting on the ground playing with ants. She didn't know how she could see this cleverness. She hesitated and frowned, "Is it too early?"

Mammy laughed and said, "If the Marquis is unsure, you can ask Mrs. Zuodu Censor or the Prime Minister's wife."

These two ladies often come to visit, so Mammy still knows a little bit about them.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and asked someone to invite Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao was worried about the marriage of her two nieces at this time. She came to the door immediately after receiving Jiang Ning's invitation. When she saw Yang Lexu fluttering butterflies in the yard, she even praised her liveliness and cuteness. She sat down beside Jiang Ning with a smile and said, "Nan The news about Zhu has gone crazy! You are calm and relaxed enough to invite me for tea!”

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's an expected thing, so don't mention it. The main reason for inviting you here today is for the enlightenment of the children."

Zhao subconsciously looked at Yang Lexu and smiled, "Let's find a husband for this precious boy! What kind of man are you looking for?"

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes helplessly, "If I knew, would I still have to bother you with this trip?"

Mrs. Zhao smiled even brighter, "Well, if you don't mind, let my unsatisfactory eldest son come over and enlighten him."

"Hey! Mr. Xiao Huang is a new member of the Hanlin Academy. Isn't it too unfair to ask him to enlighten such a child?"

Who in the capital doesn't know that the eldest son of Zuodu Yushi family is young, promising and talented. It's not that she hasn't thought about it before, but she only dared to think about it. After all, there are many people begging Huang Jian to teach. I heard that even Jingcheng Academy They all extended an olive branch to him.
