Chapter 131 Jade Monkey

"It has only been a few days and the treatment has not yet been cured. If it is not cured, I will divorce my wife. This is too heartless and unjust." Princess Deok said indignantly.

Jiang Changning frowned. She just wanted to teach Mrs. Xu a lesson and never thought of causing her to be divorced. "Since she suddenly lost her voice for no reason, what if she suddenly gets well again for no reason? What will happen to Prince Qing's palace? Divorce her.

Will you pick up the fallen ones again?"

"I don't think this rumor is credible. No matter what, Prince Qing's Mansion would never be so impatient. It should take a year and a half before he can talk about divorcing his wife." Wen Bingqing analyzed.

"Bingqing is right. Only if you act with utmost benevolence and justice can you avoid being criticized for divorcing your wife." Zeng Zhaofu agreed.

"I don't know who spread this rumor. I'm afraid it's not simple." Jiang Changning said.

"I heard." Princess Changshan came again.

The four of them approached her again and heard Princess Changshan say: "Prince Qing's princess has a nephew who is newly widowed."

Zeng Zhaofu suddenly realized, "She must have been so anxious to let her son divorce the Xu family because she wanted her son to marry her, a widowed niece."

"This is too mean." Jiang Changning said in disgust.

"She wanted to be pretty, but it didn't work out. The Duke of Wei would not agree to let the eldest son divorce his wife so easily," said Princess De.

"I know a miracle doctor. Do you want to introduce him to Prince Qing's Mansion to treat Xu's illness?" Zeng Zhaofu asked.

Jiang Changning said: "I think it would be better to introduce him to the Duke of Wei."

"Chang Ning is right. It would be better to introduce him to Prince Qing's Mansion than to Duke Wei's Mansion." The Crown Princess of Changshan agreed.

"Okay, tomorrow I will take the miracle doctor to the Duke of Wei's mansion." Zeng Zhaofu didn't like the Xu family, but he couldn't bear to see her divorced.

This rumor, which seemed both true and false, made Jiang Changning pay special attention to what was going on in Prince Qing's Mansion, and made him reflect deeply.

Just making Xu mute for half a month can trigger the crisis of her being divorced.

Jiang Changning didn't expect this situation. It was really a temporary relief after taking the medicine, but the consequences were unbearable.

In the next few days, I heard no news that the eldest son of Prince Qing's Palace had divorced his wife. Instead, I heard that Prince Qing's Palace was making arrangements to invite famous doctors to treat Xu's mute disease.

Outsiders praised the palace for its affection, but inside the palace Mrs. Xu was weeping. In just a few days, she had already felt the unfeeling feelings of her husband's family.

That day, the eldest son did not come in her door again, saying that he was afraid that her strange illness would be transmitted to him.

She didn't blame him for hiding from illness, but he shouldn't have had a heated relationship with his cousin whose husband had died and who had only been widowed for less than a hundred days.

"Grandma, please stop crying. If you continue crying, your eyes will not be able to bear it." The maid came in with medicine and saw that she was crying again, so she advised her.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Mrs. Xu looked at the medicine and cried even more sadly.

"Grandma, your illness can definitely be cured. Just drink the medicine," the maid said.

"Pa" Mrs. Xu knocked over the bowl. Did she drink enough medicine in the past few days?

But it was of no use at all, she still couldn't speak.

A few days ago, her mother-in-law asked her about her health with concern, but since yesterday, she has been asked to stay in the yard and not come out if she has nothing to do.

Her mother-in-law thought she was embarrassed. The more Xu thought about her grief, she turned her head and threw herself on the pillow, bursting into tears.

The maid tried to persuade her for a long time, but she couldn't stop it, so she had to go and clean up the broken bowl and medicine residue first.

At this time, the Jin Palace received rewards from the palace.

It’s not a New Year or a holiday, and there’s nothing festive, so why does the Queen Mother reward you with things?

Although Jiang Changning found it strange, he and the concubine arranged their makeup, set up the incense table, and respectfully accepted Yi's order and collected the things.

Yizhi was nothing, just to praise King Jin and say that he had worked hard on her Qianqiu Banquet.

There are some bits and pieces of things to reward, including snow satin and organza from the south of the Yangtze River, thick velvet and soft gauze from the northern Xinjiang, and red feather satin and cyan feather yarn brought as tribute. There are always dozens of pieces.

.

Leather materials include chinchilla skin, wolf skin, mink...

There are also antique ornaments, three boxes of lake pearls, one box of sea pearls...

The chamberlain held out a small brocade box and said, "This is from the Queen Mother, specially given to Princess Jin."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Jiang Changning took the small brocade box with both hands and placed it beside him.

"The Empress Dowager has said that Princess Jin can go to the palace more often when she is free. The Empress Dowager will never forget what happened back then. Please also ask Princess Jin not to forget the old friendship."

He also mentioned what happened back then. He was obviously an ungrateful person, but he still wanted to act like he was grateful. It was really off-putting.

"It just happened to happen, please forget about it." Jiang Changning said calmly.

After sending away the servants, Jiang Changning said to the concubine: "This organza is light and thin. It will be cooler if worn in summer. I will make two for my mother and concubine, Kang Ren will make two, and the prince and I will each make one."

"There are so many materials, it's easy to change them if you make four of them for one person." The concubine said generously.

Jiang Changning had no objection. Although this organza was rare, as long as you had money, you could buy it in Jiangnan.

"Kang Ren's family, it's too luxurious to use sea pearls. Let's use this box of lake beads to make jewelry." The concubine said.

Lake pearls are artificially cultivated, while sea pearls are natural.

A small portion was divided, and most of it was registered in the warehouse.

Jiang Changning took the small brocade box back to Rujingyuan, opened the box and saw a jade monkey inside.

As soon as you put it on, you will feel cool and moist.

Looking at the texture, it is smooth and silky, and you can tell that this is a valuable piece of jade.

Since ancient times, this precious ice jade material has been used to carve mascots, mostly dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, Guanyin, etc. The Queen Mother was unique, using this jade to carve a crowned monkey.

"This monkey is carved very vividly," Fu Cui praised.

Jiang Changning glanced at her sideways, "They are scolding your master, but you are still cheerful and silly."

Not only Fu Cui, but also Xiao Chun and Ban Qin didn't understand, and they all looked at Jiang Changning with confused eyes.

Jiang Changning coughed lightly and said, "I'm thirsty." He knelt there and listened to the waiter's recitation for a long time. He felt really thirsty now.

Fu Cui quickly poured the tea and said, "Master, please have some tea."

Jiang Changning drank two cups of tea and said, "Look at the jade monkey. Is it engraved with the character Chu?"

Banqin came up to look at it and said, "It has the character Chu carved on it."

"Have you ever heard of "bathing a monkey and wearing a crown?"

The three maids nodded, and Xiao Chun said: "The monkey pretends to be a human, but it looks like a human but not human."

"This idiom comes from a sentence in "Historical Records. The Benji of Xiang Yu", which is called 'People say that people in Chu wear monkeys and crown their ears, and it turns out.' This sentence means that the people of Chu only have their appearance, just like monkeys wearing

The hat pretends to be a human being. I didn't believe it before, but only after meeting the Queen of Chu did I know that this statement was true."

The third maid still seemed to understand. Jiang Changning continued: "Hangzhou belonged to the Chu State in ancient times, and I am a Chu native."

Fu Cui said angrily: "I took this thing out and smashed it."

"Nonsense, this is a gift from the palace, how can you smash it?" Jiang Changning closed the brocade box, "Just take it and offer it as an offering."
