Grandma Sun helped Concubine Yun to the couch and sat down again: "My queen, don't worry, you have to eat your food one bite at a time. I think it's better to arrange a marriage for Prince Jin as soon as possible."
"Marriage?" Concubine Yun Guifei asked, "Whenever the marriage was mentioned, he ran away."
"I don't need to mention it, my dear. You can make a decision for him by yourself. With the prince's temperament, if you ask him when will he be able to do it?"
The imperial concubine thought so. If she liked him well, wouldn't it be enough to ask the emperor to grant him a marriage?
How can you not be tempted by the influence of the person next to you?
"Okay, I'll hold a tea party in a few days, and invite the girls from the capital here so I can see each other."
Jin Wang Xiao Yan had no idea that his life-long event had been put on the agenda. He walked leisurely out of the palace, Fufeng rubbing his nose and following behind. Alas, every time the noble concubine mentioned this matter, they would break up. The prince obviously didn't have this in mind, but the noble concubine Just don’t give up.
At this time, Yingyi came to report that two suspects had been caught. King Jin whispered: "Go and have a look!"
The two men in the cell were beaten until they were covered in blood, but they did not open their mouths. King Jin approached them and said, "If you don't tell them, they will starve. Just give them some water to survive. Send a few people to take turns guarding them and don't let them sleep."
Hopefully I can pry out something useful this time.
...
Fuxing Ning Jiayin was standing in a shop at this time.
It turned out that a few days ago, the Duke's wife had vacated two shops. The two shops were connected together and were originally rented to a family selling silk and satin cloth. The couple had stayed in Beijing for nearly ten years and accumulated some money. Now that their mother is ill, they plan to return to their hometown to support her, so they want to cancel the rent. They originally paid a year's rent, but it is now due in five months. The couple hesitated to express their intention to the housekeeper, and just as the Duke's wife came back, Instructing the housekeeper to find a shop, the housekeeper reported the situation to the Duke's wife.
Mrs. Guo Gong was happy when she heard this. It was easy to find a store for herself. She originally planned to find one for Miss Ning, but now it's better. The store can be changed into two, and the two families can be neighbors. How nice, big hand. Half a year's rent was refunded with one wave, which made the couple extremely happy. They thought that the five months' rent was in vain, but they didn't want the owner to refund half a year's rent directly, so they didn't let themselves get entangled at all.
The couple privately lamented that the prince was so wealthy that he still cared about these small coins.
Indeed, even if they are not in a hurry to open a shop, the housekeeper will not embarrass them.
Madam turned around and talked to the old lady. The old lady was even more happy and urged her to write a letter to contact her. She never thought that Ning Jiayin declined after receiving the letter, which made them worried.
I don't know what happened to the girl, but just as the old lady was about to send someone to ask, Ning Jiayin came. The old lady happily took her hand and asked her questions, but she was reluctant to let go.
After Ning Jiayin and the Duke's wife left, the nanny next to her laughed at her: "Does the old lady think that Miss Ning looks like you when you were young, so she prefers her a little bit more?"
"Really?" the old lady asked, "Do you think Girl Ning looks like me?"
"Yes, she looks very similar to you when you were young. It's not that she is similar in any way. I just think of you when I saw her when I was young. I felt this way when I first met Miss Ning. Isn't it because of you? Do you just like her?"
The old lady became more energetic when she heard this: "Do you really think she looks like me? Why don't I think so? I just like her. When I see her, I feel amiable with her, just like meeting my grandchildren. Like a granddaughter."
Auntie poured her a cup of scented tea: "Maybe this is what people call fate."
"Fate?" The old lady fell into deep thought and murmured: "This girl and I are destined."
Ning Jiayin took a fancy to it at first glance. It was about sixty square meters and square. When I heard that this shop belonged to the Duke's Mansion, I secretly sighed in my heart: "Sure enough, real estate belongs to the rich." I completely forgot that my family also owned several real estates and properties before.
"Is it a bit too big?" Ning Jiayin asked her own question.
"What if it is changed to two rooms?" Mrs. Du asked with a smile.
"Two rooms?" Ning Jiayin didn't understand for a moment.
"You have one room and I have one room."
Ning Jiayin now understood what Mrs. Du meant. If there was such a small shop in the city center, her small business would be more stable, and it would be adjacent to the Duke's Mansion, so the safety factor would be high. After thinking about this, she thanked her generously without being pretentious: "Thank you, Mrs. Guogong, but I have to sign the deed and pay the rent."
Seeing that Mrs. Du was about to refuse, Ning Jiayin said again: "One code is the same. I am very grateful to this junior for your care, but everything has its own rules. You can't mess up just because you are close."
What else could Mrs. Du say? She pointed at Ning Jiayin's head with her finger: "You are so clever that even a monkey with sticky hair will not be able to compare with you."
This was regarded as agreement. Ning Jiayin stuck out her tongue and smiled: "Anyway, I am the one who takes advantage."
Putting aside the matter of the deed and rent for the time being, the housekeeper first ordered someone to find a mason to build a wall in the middle, and then paint the house pink. Of course, Ning Jiayin did not need to worry about this.
After a pleasant conversation, they went home.
After Mrs. Du returned home and recounted the scene, the Duke stroked his beard and said, "This girl is guarding against us. It's really not easy for her to be like this at such a young age."
The old lady said: "This girl is good, she will not suffer any loss."
"Mom, you just see that this girl is good at everything. If it were someone else, you would feel your heart and soul. If she is like this, you won't knock her down with a cane." Mrs. Du made a joke on the old lady.
"That's right, if it were anyone else, I would slap her to death, but I just like Ning Yatou like this. It shows that she is thoughtful and does not suffer any disadvantages. How difficult it is for a little girl to be out there. If she doesn't think more, she will be eaten alive. "The old lady said with emotion.
"I was a little uncomfortable at first, wondering if we could trick her. The shop had already given her away, but then I thought about it again. The little girl was right. We can't make her completely dependent on us just because we helped her a little. , then what else do we like about her?"
"Well, this girl is indeed different from other children. She is smart and can take on tasks. We should take care of her." The Duke thought about the appearance of the little girl in the study.
"Hmph, I don't know who took advantage of whom in the end." Grandma heard this and thought to herself, old lady, whose family you are from.
Ning Jiayin also told her grandmother about this after she returned. The old lady was happy when she heard that. She didn't know how to do business, but she knew that with a shop, the business could be stable, and it was a shop in such a good location.
"It's just that I haven't repaid the debt last time, and now I owe it again. Others can't find such a good location."
"Grandma, don't worry, you'll have plenty of time in the future." It's true that it feels uncomfortable to owe someone a favor.
"Look, Yi Lao Nu, old madam, don't take it to heart. This is the karma and good retribution of the Fourth Girl and the Duke's Mansion. They are the Fourth Girl who likes our family." Nanny Liu tried to persuade her from the side.
"Hey, that's why I feel so sad. She is a little girl taking care of everything. I'm really useless."
