Chapter 259 Targeted

As soon as Jiang Ning arrived, he found several women in colorful clothes sitting in the waterside pavilion. He calmed down after just one look at her and stepped forward to salute.

The old lady waved to her warmly, "Quick! Come and see me!"

Jiang Ning followed up with the child in his arms.

The old lady looked at it for a while and then praised it sincerely: "He is indeed a blessed and handsome man! My dear boy, can you tell me how you discovered the sweet potato and white potato?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Jiang Ning.

Mrs. Zhao was vaguely worried. After all, the people here were all the matrons of the house. They were from noble families and they didn't look down on ordinary ladies from small families. Even the low-ranking concubines in the palace might not give face to them. If Jiang Ning showed her timidity, These people don't know yet what nasty things they will say.

Jiang Ning sat down calmly, with a smile that was just right at the corner of his mouth, "Taro and white potato grow in the ground. If they really couldn't survive, who would go to such trouble to dig those things?

The old lady doesn’t know something. I have four sons and one daughter at my knees. When the family was separated, we didn’t even have a house suitable for people to live in. It’s not unusual to dig up anything in order to survive. "

Zhao's heart sank inexplicably when she saw some women looking contemptuous, and then heard Jiang Ning say slowly: "But those are not important, because when I go into the mountains, in addition to looking for food to wrap my belly, the more important thing is to pick mushrooms. Looking for spice."

“You can also identify mushrooms?” The old lady’s face was undisguisedly surprised, and even Mrs. Zheng also looked surprised.

Jiang Ning changed the direction of the child in his arms, nodded slightly, and was full of confidence, "It's not that difficult. I only saved some money by selling mushrooms at that time, and gradually started to live a better life. Later, my family opened again." I went to some workshops and did some business, and my life is getting better and better. By the way, I also brought you a greeting gift for the old lady today. I hope you won’t dislike it. "

"Oh? How can this be so embarrassing!" The old lady was very polite. She didn't think Jiang Ning could give him any decent greeting gift, but she just didn't want to disgrace the guest.

Others had similar thoughts to the old lady, but because of what Jiang Ning had done before and the fact that the Queen of God would come today, they didn't want to cause trouble so they didn't say anything sarcastic.

After a while, Huazhi came over with a brocade box in his arms.

Jiang Ning gave Yang Lexu to Aunt Yu, opened the brocade box himself, took out the rice paper inside and showed it to the old lady.

“This is.” The old lady looked confused.

Jiang Ning covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is the paper that Princess Yongyang likes. It smells like tea. There is also a kind of paper that smells like flowers. Because Princess Yongyang likes it, I can't give it to anyone else without the princess' permission."

Everyone in the room looked at the thing in Jiang Ning's hand in surprise.

Zheng exclaimed: "When Princess Yongyang came back from Quzhou Mansion, she brought a lot of strange papers. They were not only colorful, but also had the fragrance of flowers, and the writing was very beautiful. Many people asked about it, but the princess was very tight-lipped and refused to say anything. , many people are still thinking about it! It turns out that this piece of paper came from Uncle Guang En!"

Others looked at each other in confusion, and immediately put away their contempt for Jiang Ning. Some were even glad that they had kept their mouths tight and did not show off.

The old lady saw the paper and really liked it. She couldn't put it down and fumbled around before giving it to the grandmother beside her for safekeeping.

As courtesy reciprocates, the old lady immediately put the Buddhist beads she had been wearing for a long time on Yang Lexu's hand without letting Jiang Ning refuse.

After Jiang Ning sat down, the lady next to her took the initiative to chat with her, "Uncle Guang En, do you have any intention of opening a study?"

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, understood what the other party meant, and immediately smiled and said: "Our family is going to open a restaurant on Zhuque Street in a few days. We have no intention of opening a study for the time being. If Madam likes tea-scented paper, I will give the flower branches to the house later. Send some up.”

“That’s so embarrassing!” Mrs. Chengen smiled even more enthusiastically.

Several other ladies also wanted it. Jiang Ning used the tricks of the 21st century workplace to deal with them like a fish in water, and soon entered the circle of ladies.

Zhao was quite worried at first, but when she saw how powerful Jiang Ning was, she was convinced immediately.

The old lady did not say anything after seeing her coming, and took the initiative to ask: "Are you from the Huang family?"

"Exactly!" Ms. Zhao calmed down and pulled her two nieces forward to say hello. The old lady looked at the two girls who were as beautiful as flowers, her eyes were very kind, "I remember that the Huang family's big house seems to have only two boys and no girls!"

Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth and laughed, "These are the two children from the second wife. I am not lucky enough to have only two naughty boys. These boys are not as considerate as the girls. In addition, my younger brother and sister are very busy on weekdays. Just keep this girl by my side and help me relieve my boredom."

Everyone here is a smart person, and they immediately understood the implication of Zhao's words.

Everyone looked at the two young ladies of the Huang family carefully and found that they had beautiful smiles, polite manners, neither humble nor arrogant, and were very well-dressed. It looked like they were well-raised.

I heard that the Huang family’s second-bedroom business is quite big, and now it seems that the rumors are true.

Zheng Zheng thought a little more about her second son.

At this moment, a voice shouted from outside, "The Emperor, the Queen and the Queen are here."

Everyone in the waterside pavilion stood up and went out to salute.

The emperor was in a good mood after seeing so many people. As soon as he sat down, he started to chat with the old lady. Princess Yongyang's sharp eyes immediately noticed the tea paper in the grandma's hand and asked: "What is that?"

The old lady glanced at Jiang Ning and answered honestly.

Princess Yongyang immediately had a long face and ran to Jiang Ning to question, "Uncle Guang En, did you give away the paper given to me?"

Every person in the waterside pavilion has different expressions.

Just as the queen was about to reprimand, the Yucai man sitting in the corner spoke, "Since it is a tribute to the princess, how can it be given to others? This is a great crime of disrespect!"

“Yu Cai Ren is right. Now that Guang Enbo has entered the capital, he still needs to understand some rules, so as not to lose the emperor’s face.” Concubine De said following Yu Cai Ren’s words in a nonchalant manner.

The queen saw that the smile on the emperor's face had faded a little, and glanced coldly at Concubine De and Yucairen, but she saw that Yucairen looked like he was just watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal.

Jiang Ning only glanced at Concubine De and Yucai Ren, stood up, gave Princess Yongyang a blessing gift, and said unhurriedly: "Princess, look at the paper carefully."

Princess Yongyang was so angry that she really didn’t think much about it. Now she took a closer look and found that the paper was tea-scented paper, not flower-scented paper.

Jiang Ning said: "I know that the princess likes floral paper, but the princess has never said anything, so how can I dare to give it to others privately? I just told the old lady about this."

“Uncle Guang En is right, everyone present knows it.”

Mr. Cheng'en and his wife all nodded.

Everyone testifying for Jiang Ning is a slap in the face of a talented concubine.

Concubine De looked gloomy.

Yucai Ren also lost his smile and felt a little more embarrassed.

Princess Yongyang didn't care about their mood. Knowing that Jiang Ning didn't spread the scented paper, she immediately apologized to her and stabbed them both. Her temper was straightforward and refreshing, which made people enviable.

Jiang Ning finally understood why Princess Yongyang was favored.

The emperor doesn't like people who are like a hornet's nest. Princess Yongyang has a noble status and is able to bend and stretch, so she naturally wins the emperor's heart the most.

Perhaps she felt that she had misunderstood Jiang Ning. Princess Yongyang was a little embarrassed, so she simply sat down next to Jiang Ning and asked about Quzhou Mansion, "Does Uncle know Zhong Mianmian?"
