Tao Zhuxiang, as the name suggests, is the residence of wealthy people.
The Jiang family lives here.
The first thing Zheng Ji wanted to do after leaving the palace was to meet his grandfather and the others.
As the richest family in the Dade Dynasty, and with a daughter who was the most favored concubine in the harem, the Jiang family can now be said to be at the peak of its power.
Even though many people openly and secretly said that the Jiang family was from a humble background and had a lot of contempt in their hearts, it had no impact on the Jiang family.
In order to show his favor to Concubine Jiang, Emperor Yongning gave the Jiang family the title of "Imperial Merchant".
When everything has the word "emperor" in it, no one dares to say anything.
Moreover, Emperor Yongning also granted official status to Concubine Jiang's brothers.
Even if it's just a minor official below the eighth rank, that's still an official.
On the surface, several official descendants of the Jiang family are not involved in business, and even the head of the family, Jiang Baoshan, is semi-retired.
But everyone knows that even if they don't take charge, the Jiang family will still be the richest man in the Dade Dynasty.
Because the Jiang family has a Huitong Hall.
Gathering the north and south, connecting the east and west, and gathering wealth from all directions under one roof, this is the Huitong Hall.
It is rumored that if Huitongtang moves, businesses in all directions will be shaken. I don’t know where this rumor originated, but it has become known to everyone.
At this time in his previous life, Zheng Ji was only proud of the glory of his maternal grandfather's family, and had no idea that he was putting the Jiang family on the fire.
The Jiang family was unable to advance or retreat, and could only turn into ashes in the end.
Fortunately, she is back...
When Zheng Ji got off the carriage, a large group of people were already standing in front of the Jiang family gate, all waiting to greet her.
After Princess Changding left the palace and opened her mansion, the first person she visited was the Jiang family. This represented the importance she attached to the Jiang family and was also the honor of the Jiang family.
It is one thing to have a good relationship in private, but respect and gratitude to the royal family must not be taken carelessly.
Zheng Ji glanced around and found that he didn't see his grandfather and grandmother, and his heart sank.
Every time she comes to the Jiang family, her maternal grandfather and grandmother will come out to greet her in person, not to show respect to the royal family, but because they want to see her as soon as possible.
Now that they are not here, there is only one possibility: they cannot be here.
What happened?
Zheng Ji's steps were a little more hasty. At this time, his eldest aunt Su came up to greet her and saluted: "Your Highness, my mother is ill and my father is taking care of her, so I can't come. Please forgive me."
Zheng Ji nodded and said, "Auntie, you're welcome. How is grandma doing now?"
She knew that her grandmother was not in good health, but was she not well enough to pick her up at the door?
This was by no means what she expected.
She was so worried that she didn't bother to chat with Su and others, and hurried to Jiang's backyard.
Su Shi followed her, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, there is nothing serious about mother, it's just that the doctor asked her to stay in bed for more rest."
She sighed in her heart. Outsiders said that Princess Chang Ding was arrogant and domineering, but in her opinion, she was actually a junior who knew how to care and care for her elders.
It's all those people talking nonsense!
Mrs. Su is much older than Concubine Jiang. She watched Concubine Jiang grow up and then enter the palace. She is almost like her own daughter.
In her opinion, Princess Changding is the same as her grandchildren, and she is not as old as her granddaughters!
Zheng Ji didn't stop. She knew that her aunt was the safest person, but she didn't feel at ease without seeing her grandmother in person.
But she also wanted to know more, and asked as she walked: "Auntie, I know. How are the Jiang family doing recently?"
It had been so long that she only remembered her grandmother's physical condition, but not other things about the Jiang family.
"Except for mother, everything is fine at home. Your uncle and the others will be back soon." Su replied without much worry in her tone.
Zheng Ji thought for a while and stopped asking.
Her maternal grandparents, her aunts and uncles, and her cousins who are much older than her are not stupid people. If there was anything wrong with the Jiang family, they would have discovered it long ago.
There must be something deeply hidden that suddenly burst out, so all the Jiang family members were caught off guard, and finally the huge Jiang family collapsed suddenly.
It would be more direct to ask my grandfather about these things later when I see him.
Not long after, Zheng Ji arrived at the main courtyard of the Jiang family. When she walked in, she was a little uneasy.
The close relatives were timid, and her grandmother was the first to leave her, but her grandfather protected her for a long time...
In an instant, she adjusted her mood and strode forward.
They were all her closest relatives, and they were reunited after two lifetimes. It was too late for her to be happy, so what was she afraid of?
As soon as she saw the sick person lying on the bed, Zheng Ji felt sour in her heart. She rushed to the bed, but she was speechless.
When the person on the bed saw her, his eyes lit up, and he immediately struggled to get up, but was stopped by Jiang Baoshan, who had been beside the bed.
"Grandma, you lie down, you lie down." Zheng Ji said quickly, reluctant to look away.
Although the person on the bed looked sick, his eyes were very bright. Although there were many wrinkles on his face, his complexion was fair and his temperament was extraordinary.
You can still tell that she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.
This person is the old lady of the Jiang family, Jiang Baoshan's wife, Jiang Guifei's mother, Zheng Ji's grandmother, Qian Shengxue from the Jiangnan Qian family.
Jiang Baoshan was also very happy to see Zheng Ji. A kind smile appeared on his majestic face, which immediately calmed down the Jin Ge spirit in his body.
"Grandma, how do you feel? What did the imperial doctor say?"
Mentioning his old wife's health, Jiang Baoshan suppressed his smile and said, "The doctor and the imperial physician said that she is weak and infected with wind and cold, and she will recover after a period of time."
Qian Shengxue was indeed frail and had to rest for a period of time every spring and winter.
But he has been feeling uncomfortable for too long this year, and he is inevitably worried.
Zheng Jim was silent for a moment. Did he catch the cold? The doctor invited by the Jiang family said this, and the imperial physician in the palace also diagnosed it this way, because...
At this time, Qian Shengxue's mother in charge brought the medicine: "Old madam, the medicine is ready and you can drink it."
Seeing the bowl of brown soup, Zheng Jifeng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Grandpa, let me give grandma the medicine."
Jiang Baoshan nodded and said, "Then let Xiaojiu come."
When Zheng Ji came to Jiang's house, he also served Qian Shengxue soup and medicine, but no one thought it was anything.
Zheng Ji took the soup and ordered to Li Xing'en: "Manager Li, please ask everyone to retreat. I want to talk to my grandmother."
Li Xing'en glanced at her and immediately understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Highness, please leave with our family."
Jiang Baoshan and Qian Shengxue both wanted to talk to her alone and nodded.
There were only three of them, grandfather and grandson, left in the room. Jiang Baoshan looked at Zheng Ji with a smile and said happily: "Xiao Jiuchang..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zheng Ji carrying the decoction to the plum vase in the room and pouring the decoction into it.
