Chapter 72 Dating
Mrs. Wei's pupils shrank, but her expression remained unchanged, "Princess, I have been serving the concubine for decades. I know the concubine's taste best..."
"Then you should also know what the concubine will do to you if she knows that you are doing things for the mourning concubine in her name?" Jiang Changning interrupted her and said with a half-smile.
The concubine comes from a noble family and values pomp and face. Even if she eats dragon liver and phoenix marrow, she will not put down her figure and ask her daughter-in-law for it.
Mrs. Wei's move violated the taboo of the concubine. Even if she was an old man serving the concubine, she would not be able to get a favor from her.
"Princess, I came here specifically to tell you what the concubine likes. A dish of pork belly and chicken can please the concubine. Why wouldn't you do it?" Mrs. Wei softened her voice.
Apparently she remembered the maid who was driven to the washing room to work as a laundry maid because of Jiang Changning's complaint, and she quickly changed her attitude.
"Mama Wei, do I look like a fool?" Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, "Mama Wei, you have to remember that this is Prince Jin's Mansion, and I am Princess Jin."
After saying that, Jiang Changning ignored her and turned back to Nuange.
"Mother Wei, please." Fang Ju sent the annoyed Granny Wei out.
At noon, when it was time to eat, Jiang Changning brought two dishes and personally delivered them to Liuxuan Yuan.
The concubine was happy that her daughter-in-law was filial, but what Jiang Changning said next made the concubine unable to laugh.
"Concubine, Mother Wei came over to her daughter-in-law in the morning and said that the pork belly and chicken dish yesterday was liked by the concubine, so she asked her daughter-in-law to give it to her today. The daughter-in-law was thinking, she had eaten this dish yesterday, and if she eats it today, I'm afraid it would be too bad.
I feel tired of it, so I asked the cook to make two other dishes, which are also refreshing and refreshing. Concubine, give it a try and see if it suits your appetite?"
Jiang Changning prepared a dish and a soup for the concubine. The dish was mixed sesame paste and vegetables, and the soup was bamboo fungus and liver paste soup.
Mrs. Cui's cooking skills are quite good, and Jiang Changning has always been satisfied with her.
After the concubine tasted it, she also thought it was good and said, "You are interested."
After having lunch with the concubine, Jiang Changning returned to Rujingyuan. She didn't care how the concubine scolded Mrs. Wei.
King Jin returned to the palace in the middle of the night. He was afraid of disturbing Jiang Changning, so he stayed in the Hongyi Courtyard in front of him.
The next morning, Mrs. Qiao was very happy to learn about this, "Sure enough, treating you with sex cannot last long. It only lasted more than a month, and you fell out of favor."
But her joy did not last long. After having breakfast with the concubine, King Jin said: "Concubine, my son has to take the concubine out for something. I won't come back for dinner."
"What's going on?" the princess asked.
"An old friend came to the capital and held a banquet in his honor," said the King of Jin.
"Your Majesty, you can invite them to your house as guests. I will have the dining room prepare the banquet." Mrs. Qiao interjected.
King Jin did not answer her words, but stood up and said: "Mother, my son has taken your daughter-in-law out."
Jiang Changning curled the corners of his lips, then stood up and saluted, "Mother and concubine, my daughter-in-law is leaving."
"Go ahead, go ahead." The concubine smiled.
When the couple returned to Rujingyuan, Jiang Changning asked King Jin, "Do I need to prepare a meeting gift for old friends?"
"No old friends." King Jin smiled.
Jiang Changning looked back at King Jin in surprise. She did not expect that King Jin would lie to the concubine.
Prince Jin walked up to her, stretched out his right index finger, and tapped the tip of her nose, "Ning Ning, do you still remember what you promised me?"
Jiang Changning looked confused. Did she promise him anything?
"You really don't remember." King Jin's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
Jiang Changning smiled flatteringly and said, "Yong Zhou, please remind me."
"I want to remind you of this." King Jin tapped his lips with his finger.
Jiang Changning was not restrained and reached out to hook King Jin's neck. He had done intimate things many times, kissed and nibbled, so there was no need to pretend to be shy.
It's just that she wanted to have a taste, but he went straight in.
After the deep kiss ended, she snuggled into his arms with weak legs, "Now, can you remind me now?"
Looking at her watery eyes, King Jin really wanted to break his promise. Why don't he go out another day?
His little princess probably wouldn't be willing to do that during the day. King Jin resisted the urge to put her on the bed and chuckled: "The day after you were granted the title of county lord, you went into the palace to express your gratitude and agreed outside the palace gate.
Do you remember what happened to me?"
Jiang Changning remembered it, raised his head and smiled: "I promise to treat you to dinner."
"I have promised for so long, is it time to fulfill it?" King Jin asked.
Jiang Changning arched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'll cash it out. I'll cash it out today. After I change my clothes, we'll go out. I'll invite Yong Zhou to the Lin'an Guild Hall to eat famous Hangzhou dishes."
"Okay, I will listen to Ning Ning today." King Jin smiled.
Jiang Changning left the Nuan Pavilion and called the maid to come and help her dress and make up.
A quarter of an hour later, the couple took their entourage out and headed to the street.
The capital, at the feet of the emperor, has always been the most prosperous and lively place.
Even in the coldest month of winter, there are still people coming and going on the street, and the stalls are shouting energetically.
The couple both wear ordinary clothes with simple styles and luxurious fabrics. In addition, they have elegant temperament and outstanding appearance. They are quite eye-catching when walking on the street.
The hawking sounds of the vendors became quieter. The couple looked like they came from a wealthy family and would not buy cheap goods from roadside stalls.
But to their surprise, Jiang Changning stopped in front of a stall selling jewelry, gadgets and spices from the Western Regions.
"These jewelry are too crude and not suitable for you to wear. If you like this style, let Nei Zaofu make it for you." King Jin whispered when he saw her picking up the bracelet.
"I like this pattern. It's too troublesome to describe it to the craftsman. Why not buy this bracelet and let the craftsman make it according to it." Jiang Changning's eyes flashed, "Yong Zhou, don't you want to buy it as a gift to me?"
"Buy it. If you want the moon in the sky, I'll help you pick it off." King Jin said with a fond smile.
Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows and asked for the moon. Did he want a basin of water?
Thanks, she doesn't need it.
"How do you sell this bracelet?" Jiang Changning asked the stall owner.
"Three cents of silver." The stall owner demanded a lot of money.
Jiang Changning smiled, "Fifteen articles."
When the King of Jin saw her negotiating the price, he couldn't help but laugh, "Three coins of silver are not expensive."
Jiang Changning glanced at him sideways, "Don't talk, the fun of shopping is haggling."
"Madam, these things for me are all from the Western Regions. The Western Regions are far away from the capital. They are thousands of miles away. They have to eat and sleep in the open and have to travel and travel. It is not easy to transport things to Beijing to sell. I can only make a profit."
Just some money to support the family." The stall owner was selling miserably.
"If you tell me the real price, I will buy it. If you keep shouting out the price, forget it. I don't like this bracelet very much." Jiang Changning said and put the bracelet back on the stall.
"One denarius, Madam, please take it."
"Fifty cents, do you want to sell it?" Jiang Changning raised the price readily.
The stall owner glanced at King Jin and said with a smile, "Thank you, madam."
"Husband, give me the money." Jiang Changning picked up the bracelet.
