When delivering the letter before, the bracelet that was taken as a bribe was the only bracelet left on Jiang Yingying's body.
And all her valuable gold and silver jewelry had been looted by the Imperial Army long ago, leaving not even a treasure chest for her.
At the moment, she has searched all over her body, but there is no valuable jewelry. What's more, the appetite of these imperial guards is getting bigger and bigger. If it is not a treasure, they will not notice it at all, so they will not send her a message.
Jiang Yingying was so anxious that she circled the chair twice. Suddenly, she thought of something, "Didn't Yan Mingzhu get her dowry back a few days ago? At first, the old lady was afraid that she would be bullied in the Pei family, but she prepared something for her.
got a lot of dowry,
Any item you take out there is worth a lot of money. There are ten treasure chests. Even if I take one or two items secretly, I will definitely not be discovered, right?"
Chun'er was shocked, "Miss, you...are you going to steal? This...this can't be helped. You have forgotten that last time there was a thief in the house, and the cousin caught the thief with thunderous force."
After he came out, he also dealt with many servants.
If my cousin discovers it then, I'm afraid she won't take it lightly..."
But Jiang Yingying was not afraid, "I discovered it when I found it. Is it possible that she could kill me for that little jewel? Besides, if I don't want to save myself, staying here will lead to a dead end. It's better to give it a try."
Maybe we can find a way out!"
Chun'er wanted to say something more, but at this moment Jiang Yingying couldn't listen at all. All she could think about was taking advantage of the funeral to escape from the Yuan family in the first seven days!
She didn't want to die, she was still so young, she couldn't just die in this hellish place!
And here, after Yuan Yixiao was calmed down, she became lively again, dragging Yan Mingzhu to the vegetable garden, "By the way, cousin, there are seedlings growing in the vegetable garden, they are green and tender, they are so beautiful!"
These young seedlings appeared almost overnight. From a distance, the small green seedlings look like they are growing again after the cold winter, with the spring breeze blowing, and a new life.
"You can loosen the soil and sprinkle some nourishing liquid on it, and it will grow faster."
As she said that, Yan Mingzhu asked Liu Xiang to bring a piece of tassel, hang it around her neck, and lift up her wide sleeves to make it easier for her to work in the fields.
Yuan Yixiao also came to help energetically, and everyone helped together. The soil was quickly loosened and the nourishing liquid was poured over.
When Yan Mingzhu went to wash her hands, she suddenly noticed that the chicken coop was a little different.
He walked over and squatted down, stretched out a hand, and reached into the chicken coop to feel around.
Yuan Yixiao came over curiously, "Cousin, what are you touching?"
Yan Mingzhu retracted her hand and did not answer immediately. Instead, she extended her hand to Yuan Yixiao, turned it over, and opened her palm again.
In the palm of her hand, two round eggs suddenly lay!
Yuan Yixiao was extremely surprised, "It's an egg! Was it laid by that old hen? It's so powerful, it laid eggs within a few days of arriving at our house!"
At that time, Yan Mingzhu didn't have much money on hand, so she could only use the remaining money to buy an old hen and a mother duck each. The rest were a group of newly hatched chicks and ducks. After all, these
Small and cheap.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the only hen would lay an egg.
Just at this time, a smiling old voice sounded: "I heard your voice laughing so far away. Is this such a great thing?"
Yuan Yi smiled and saw that the elder's wife was coming, and immediately jumped over and said happily: "Grandma, it's the old hen that laid eggs. There are two eggs. We can have extra dinner tonight!"
The senator's wife was amused and scratched her nose, "You little glutton, just two eggs are not enough to fill the teeth of a family."
Hearing this, Yuan Yixiao thought of this problem and immediately lowered her head, "Yeah, hey, the old hen still doesn't work hard enough, so let's not eat it for now. Let's save it first. When there are more eggs, we can add more
It’s not too late for dinner!”
"Okay, okay, go wash your hands quickly. Look at your dirty hands and face, and you've turned into a little cat."
When Yuan Yixiao went to wash her hands, Mrs. Yuanlao took Yan Mingzhu's hand and led her towards the house.
"Zhuzhu, were you resting at Dingbei Prince's Mansion last night?"
Yan Mingzhu nodded and briefly told the elder's wife what happened yesterday.
When the elder lady heard that Pei Ninghe hired someone to cause trouble for Yan Mingzhu, she frowned and said, "The Pei family is nothing if they are not good people. Zhuzhu, you must not be soft-hearted. It is better to let Pei Ninghe be imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion."
She tastes what it means to reap the consequences!"
After saying that, the elder lady changed the topic again: "Zhuzhu, although His Highness King Dingbei has helped us a lot, he is still a man. We, the girl's family, still have to pay attention to the distance when getting along with him.
After all, people in this world are always very harsh on women. Grandma can't protect you now. If you get too close to His Highness King Dingbei and are targeted by someone with intentions, there is no guarantee that they will do something terrible.
matter."
Yan Mingzhu naturally understood what Mrs. Yuan meant, "Grandma, you don't have to worry. Your Highness and I only have a cooperative relationship, and my granddaughter is married after all. Your Highness has no such intention."
In fact, Yan Mingzhu's real thought is that she has lived two lives and only treats Qi Jue as an admiring junior.
Mrs. Yuan gently stroked Yan Mingzhu's hair, but she did not agree with the words, "What's wrong with being married? My Zhuzhu is very smart. If you really talk about it, I don't think King Dingbei is worthy of me."
Where’s your sweet granddaughter!”
Yan Mingzhu was amused, "You are right, I have my own way of living. I don't need to rely on any man. As long as I have hands, feet and brains, I can make a difference for the Yuan family!"
As she spoke, Yan Mingzhu thrust an egg into the hand of the elder's wife, "Grandma, the hen laying eggs represents rebirth, which also means that our Yuan family will definitely be able to break through the dark clouds and see the light of day again!"
The senator's wife had tears in her eyes and nodded.
After chatting with the senator's wife for a while, Yan Mingzhu handed the box to Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang opened it and found a piece of silk inside.
"Girl, this satin looks valuable. Did you buy it to make clothes?"
Yan Mingzhu replied: "It was a gift from His Highness King Dingbei. Jinmanlou's new woven gold feather satin. The shopkeeper said it is most suitable for making a cloak. I plan to embroider it when I have time and give it to Xiaoxiao."
Liu Xiang smiled and teased: "Girl, this is a gift from His Highness Prince Dingbei. If you pass it on to my cousin, Your Highness won't be angry, right?"
Yan Mingzhu poked her forehead, "Okay, stop talking so much, put it away first."
When preparing to go out, Liu Xiang saw Yan Mingzhu carefully put the remaining egg into her purse, tied it tightly, and pinned it to the empty space on her waist. She was quite curious: "Girl, take the egg out with you."
