Chapter 35 Candidates

When he learned that Chen Yi had also been accused of betraying King Jin, Jiang Changning was stunned for a moment, then smiled mockingly and didn't pay much attention.

Not to mention that King Jin is remarrying, even if she is the first wife, so what?

In this society where polygamy is legal, it is unrealistic to expect monogamy.

Lu Xiujue stayed in the palace. Xie Baoyin's marriage had been decided. She packed her luggage and prepared to leave Beijing and go home.

There was still more than half a year before her wedding day, so it was impossible for her to stay with relatives for so long.

Before leaving, she came to say goodbye to Jiang Changning, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see my sister off on her wedding day. This is my gift to my sister."

A set of pure gold flower and bird head masks inlaid with red treasures was prepared by Xie Baoyin for Jiang Changning.

This gift is quite appropriate.

"Thank you." Jiang Changning accepted it without refusing, "I don't know whether the palace will arrange for you to go to Beijing to be married, or whether the palace will arrange for you to go to Fengtian to marry you. I will prepare some makeup for you first, don't dislike it."

Xie Baoyin smiled brightly and said: "If you receive a gift, how could I dislike it?"

Jiang Changning prepared twelve flower hostas for her, and the gift was just right.

On the afternoon of the second day after Xie Baoyin left Beijing, Jiang Changning took a nap and walked and exercised in the yard. Tongfu led five girls in.

The five of them are all girls from the Zhuang family. I have met them in the Zhuang family's private school, and the one I am most familiar with is Zhuang Juxiang from Xifu.

"Cousin, the old lady asked her servants to lead a few girls to greet you." Tongfu said respectfully.

Jiang Changning was stunned. Did he greet her? He smiled and said, "I don't dare to accept it."

After inviting the five people to sit down in the small hall, the maid served them tea.

"Sister Ning, I'm afraid she doesn't remember me. My name is Zhuang Miaolian, and I live in the sixth room on the corridor." Zhuang Miaolian was the first to speak.

The other three girls also quickly reported their families to Jiang Changning. Zhuang Xiaojing, Zhuang Daocong, and Zhuang Lulu were all members of the Zhuang family.

"Sister Ning, the decoration of this small hall is really elegant." Zhuang Daocong was the first to compliment.

"Just clean it up, it's not worth mentioning." Jiang Changning really didn't pay much attention to the arrangement, the name of the hospital said everything.

"Is this ink bamboo painting painted by Sister Ning?" Zhuang Lulu took aim at the painting hanging on the wall.

"It's my late father's legacy," Jiang Changning replied.

After a few casual chats, a few people left.

Fangju sent them out, turned around and asked in confusion: "Girl, what are they doing here?"

"Bless you." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief." Shu Fei interjected.

Jiang Changning nodded in agreement, "Xu Fei, you go out tomorrow and ask the two nanny brothers to pick me up out of the house in early August. I will probably have a falling out with the banker."

The banker’s intention of letting five girls live in the banker’s house at this time is worth pondering.

Shufei's heart tightened, "Girl, should we ask the AN team to send a few people in?"

If the banker takes a risk, the girl will be in danger, so it is better to take precautions before it happens.

Jiang Changning couldn't help but laugh, "Rose Fei, don't feel like you are facing a formidable enemy."

"Girl, be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. You are not afraid of anything else but the banker jumping over the wall in a hurry." Shu Fei advised.

"The banker doesn't dare to use his sword or gun openly. He only kills people with soft knives. Just ask Xiulan to pay more attention." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

Shu Fei thought about it and said, "My slave, go and ask Xiulan to come in."

In the evening, Jiang Changning went to pay his respects to Mrs. Zhuang as usual. He did not become arrogant and arrogant because of his status as the princess-to-be.

It was also because of Jiang Changning's actions that the bankers felt that they could control Jiang Changning and dared to have bad intentions.

After the meal, Mrs. Zhuang asked with a smile: "Girl Ning, do you think these five girls are okay?"

"Old lady, I'm not familiar with some of the sisters." Jiang Changning refused to comment.

Before confirming the intention of these five people to live in the banker's house, she had to deal with it carefully. Who knew whether there was a trap hidden in Mrs. Zhuang's words.

"We'll get to know each other more if we get along more," Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile.

Jiang Changning smiled but said nothing, his eyes darkening slightly. It seemed that she would not live too quietly in the last days of her stay at the banker's house.

Just when Jiang Changning secretly asked his maid to pack things in preparation for moving out of the banker's house, in Prince Jin's Mansion, Mrs. Qiao ordered the steward, "Have someone clean up Zhengzeyuan."

Four years ago, Zhengzeyuan was renovated, but Mrs. Pu died of illness within a year of living there.

Those who are ill-fated will not be blessed.

"The prince said that there is no need to clean up the Zhengzeyuan," the steward said.

"Isn't this good? No one has lived in that courtyard for more than two years. Although it is cleaned every day, it still needs to be tidied up before we can marry the new princess." There was a hint of secret joy in Qiao's eyes.

It's great that the prince is not satisfied with the new princess and doesn't pay attention to her.

However, this secret joy disappeared in the steward's next words.

"The prince said that the Jiale Courtyard and the Tengluo Courtyard on East Road will be merged into one compound to create a new main courtyard for the princess to live in. The name of the courtyard will be chosen by the princess after she enters the palace."

"Chi!" Mrs. Qiao gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down, "What did the concubine say?"

"The prince asked the concubine what she meant, and the concubine agreed."

Mrs. Qiao waved the steward to leave, and drank three large cups of tea before suppressing the resentment or anger in her chest.

The people Jiang Changning sent out to inquire about the renovation of the palace of the Jin Dynasty and the marriage of the new princess also heard about it.

"The concubine is not in good health. The current housekeeper of the Jin Palace is Concubine Mourning."

Jiang Changning's eyebrows moved slightly, "Is it always the case?"

Concubine Mourning is the sister-in-law of King Jin and the widow of the former King of Jin.

She married the former King of Jin nine years ago and became a widow after more than two years, with only one daughter at her knees. She was canonized as a princess.

There was no male to inherit the title, so if the brother died, the King of Huaibei inherited the title of King Jin, and the former Princess of Jin was renamed as the mourning concubine.

"Always." Shu Fei replied.

"Hoo" Jiang Changning laughed inexplicably, "Continue."

The King of Jin did not marry a wife, and the mourning concubine took care of the house. Although it was a bit inappropriate, it was still reasonable.

But the King of Jin was married, the Princess of Jin did not care about the house, and the concubine took care of the house. If there was nothing strange in this, only a fool would believe it.

"The King of Jin has a wife who is the concubine of the late Jin Princess Pu. There are also two concubines given to the King of Jin by the concubine. One is a Zhou family and the other is a Liu family. Neither of them had any children."

"When did Mrs. Park enter the palace?" Jiang Changning asked.

"Princess Park entered the palace more than half a year after marrying into the palace."

Jiang Changning raised an eyebrow, "Those two concubines are very favored?"

"The King of Jin is not greedy for women. On the tenth day of the first month, in the backyard, on the night when Princess Park married into the palace, there was an emergency at the border and the King of Jin led his troops out of the capital."

If this is the case, then why did Princess Park let her concubine enter the palace?

If you can't fight two concubines by yourself, why don't you find a helper?

I don't quite understand Princess Park's intention.

Jiang Changning did not analyze too much and signaled Shu Fei to continue.

"There are two people who are often around the King of Jin. One is named Cao Jiang and the other is named Chang Youzhong."

"Concubine Mourning has taken away twenty maids from the Palace Lisi Department, and nine of them were arranged by Uncle Nan."
