In the evening, Jiang Changning personally gave a ginseng plant in the reward to Old Mrs. Zhuang, "Old lady, this ginseng looks pretty good to me, but I don't have any use for it, so I brought it over. The old lady looked at it

How to use it?"

"I'm afraid this ginseng is hundreds of years old. Ning Yatou, are you really willing to take it out?" asked Mrs. Zhuang.

Jiang Changning smiled, "I would be reluctant to give ginseng to others, but I would not be reluctant to give it to an old lady."

Mrs. Zhuang was very satisfied with this answer and asked her maid to collect the ginseng.

After winning her favor, Jiang Changning took the opportunity to say: "Old lady, the wet nurse has been serving Chang Ning for sixteen years. She treats Chang Ning very well, as if she were her own child. Now that she has been away to recuperate for many days, Chang Ning wants to see her."

"She is a patient. Your body has always been thin. If you get infected, it will be bad. Just send your mother-in-law and maid to see her." Old Mrs. Zhuang did not agree with her going out.

In the past six years, Jiang Changning has only gone out a handful of times.

It is better to say that he is living as a guest in the banker's house than as being imprisoned in his home by the banker's family.

"I know that the old lady is doing it for my own good. She is just letting others see it. She is separated by a layer and cannot know all the details. Changning is really uneasy and asks the old lady to allow me to go in person." Jiang Changning said and knelt down.

.

Seeing her resolute look, Mrs. Zhuang said, "Then I'll go there tomorrow and go back early."

"Yes, old lady." Jiang Changning replied respectfully.

After a while, Zhuang Qingyu and Zhuang Qingchan came and thanked Jiang Changning politely.

Jiang Changning smiled and said: "It's just a little thing, it deserves your thanks over and over again."

"The things were given to you by the Queen Mother. You are willing to share them with us. You are generous. If you are ungrateful after receiving your things, then you are a white-eyed wolf." Zhuang Qingyan walked in.

Zhuang Qingmei followed behind her, with a look of sarcasm on her face.

It is quite obvious who Zhuang Qingyan is targeting with these words.

The second wife's sister-in-law and her concubine have always been at odds with each other.

Jiang Changning didn't want to get involved in the affairs between their sisters, so he smiled and said, "I found the pattern booklet you asked me for last time. I'll ask the girl to send it to you later."

"You don't need to send me away, I'll go back to your yard with you after eating Yanshi later." Zhuang Qingyan likes to be a female celebrity.

While they were talking, Mrs. Wu came with her two daughters-in-law, and then Mrs. Zou came too.

After eating, it was already dusk, and the mother-in-law held a lantern in front for light.

Zhuang Qingyan followed Jiang Changning back to the courtyard and took away the pattern booklet.

Early the next morning, Jiang Changning took Shu Fei, Fu Cui and four little girls to visit the old lady Cizhuang.

Mrs. Zhuang didn't say much, she just told Shu Fei and others to take good care of her.

Come out of Mrs. Zhuang's yard and go to the second gate.

After passing the Weeping Flower Gate and passing through the garden, I heard someone shouting: "Sister Ning."

Jiang Changning stopped and looked back, he saw it was Zhuang Jike, his brows furrowed slightly, this man was skipping school again.

However, she had nothing to do with this matter, so she nodded as a courtesy and said, "Brother Ke Si."

"Sister Ning, are you going out?" Zhuang Jike asked.

"Yes." Jiang Changning replied.

"Sister Ning, where are you going?" Zhuang Jike asked.

Jiang Changning smiled lightly and said, "Go and see my nanny."

"I'm fine, I'll go with you."

Jiang Changning frowned. Ever since she knew that Zhuang Jike was a man who liked to be humble in front of women, she kept a distance from him and maintained the etiquette that should be expected between relatives.

She thought that with her distant attitude, Zhuang Zike would stay away from her.

However, Zhuang Jike seemed to have a masochistic constitution. He kept pestering her again and again, making Wu always feel that she was seducing Zhuang Jike.

Oh my god, she was so wronged!

"Today is not a holiday, why doesn't Fourth Brother go to school?" Jiang Changning asked.

"My third uncle is sick, and the school has a day off."

"Although I am at home on vacation, Fourth Brother Ke should not slack off. He should read more books, write more splendid articles, or go visit those who serve as officials..."

"My sister is getting more and more vulgar." Zhuang Zike interrupted her and left quickly.

"This Fourth Master Ke has the nerve to call girls vulgar, but he is a vulgar person." Fu Cui looked at Zhuang Jike's retreating back and spat lightly.

Jiang Changning smiled and chanted: "Although he was born with a good skin, he is full of grass inside. He is poor and ignorant of worldly affairs. He is stupid and afraid of reading. His behavior is eccentric and eccentric, and he has no hope for the country or his family."

I don’t remember the sentence I saw there, but it is quite appropriate to apply it to Zhuang Jike.

"What the girl said is so reasonable." Shu Fei said with a smile.

After walking through the garden and arriving at the second gate, the carriage was already parked there.

Shu Fei took two quick steps, took out a plain purse from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to the coachman, "Uncle Biao, you worked hard driving the coach. This is a reward from the girl."

The driver's lips raised, "Thank you, girl, for the reward."

He diligently put the wooden stick away and said, "My dear cousin, please get in the carriage."

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys and stopped outside a house.

Aunt Zhou’s two sons, Zhou Chengcheng and Zhou Shouxin, were already waiting at the door. When the carriage stopped, they stepped forward and called: “Girl.”

Jiang Changning held Fu Cui's hand and stepped out of the carriage, "Two wet nurses, you don't have to be polite. How about the wet nurse?"

"Mom is still in good health, please come in, girl." Zhou Chengcheng knew that Jiang Changning had a deep relationship with his mother, so he lied because he was afraid that she would be anxious.

Jiang Changning entered the house and walked inside.

When they arrived at the courtyard where Grandma Zhou lived, the two daughters-in-law, Miao and Luo, who were guarding Grandma Zhou, heard the noise and came out to greet her.

Seeing the two men with haggard faces and bloodshot eyes, Jiang Changning's heart suddenly sank.

"No need to be polite." Jiang Changning didn't care to be polite to them, walked past the two of them in a hurry, lifted the curtain and walked in.

The strong smell of medicine hit his face. Jiang Changning took three steps at a time and went straight to the bed.

Aunt Zhou was lying flat on the bed, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was pale, and if it weren't for the slight rise and fall in her chest, she would have passed away.

The old man who had cared for her for sixteen years was exhausted.

"Nanny! Nurse!" Tears welled up in Jiang Changning's eyes.

"Girl, don't cry, girl be good, girl don't cry, nanny will sing a song for the girl." Aunt Zhou was already sick and confused. When she heard Jiang Changning's crying voice, she used to say coaxing words.

That set of words.

"Nanny, wake up, wake up." Jiang Changning called.

Aunt Zhou slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person beside the bed, "Miss?"

"Nanny, your girl is here to see you, wet nurse." Jiang Changning burst into tears.

Jiang's mother was frail and sick and could not take care of Jiang Changning herself.

Aunt Zhou acted as a mother, and she regarded Jiang Changning as her own daughter.

"Girl, if you don't cry, your eyes will become swollen. Be good, don't cry." Aunt Zhou tried her best to raise her hand and wipe away Jiang Changning's tears, "Nanny is fine, she is just tired. Take a rest."

Jiang Changning hurriedly wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, "Nanny, I'm not crying anymore."

"Good girl, please help me get up." Aunt Zhou twitched the corner of her mouth and showed a smile.

Miao and Shu Fei stepped forward and helped Jiang Changning to help Nanny Zhou sit up.
