Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Gu Ning's strange eyes fell on the man, and he quickly made him understand.

His face darkened, and he hastily explained: "This is General Cai's retainer——Zhao Yuan."

Gu Ning nodded perfunctorily, turned around from the corner of the eye, and finally saw the person he wanted to see: "Madam Cai!"

The gorgeously dressed lady with jewels and emerald hair was sitting in the gazebo drinking tea. When she heard the call, she raised her eyes to look at Gu Ning. When she saw Gu Ning's face, she was in a trance for a moment.

"Anyang..." She quickly realized and changed her words, "Changning County Lord!"

Mrs. Cai walked towards Gu Ning with a large number of entourages. When she saw Zhao Yuan, her face darkened, and she raised her hand to push Zhao Yuan away. Her tone was impatient: "What are you doing in the backyard? I wonder if this is a place only for female relatives? "

Facing Mrs. Cai, Zhao Yuan had a smile on his face, and he flattered him: "Sister, don't blame me, I just want to see what the rumored Changning County Lord looks like?"

His words made Mrs. Cai even more annoyed: "Don't talk nonsense in front of Changning county magistrate! The county magistrate has a noble status, how can I allow you to be presumptuous?"

Having said that, Mrs. Cai's attitude towards Zhao Yuan is very friendly.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Gu Ning understood.

Hearing that Mrs. Cai's surname is Zhao, and hearing what Zhao Yuan called her, she must be a relative of Mrs. Cai.

Zhao Yuan was scolded by Mrs. Cai, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said sullenly: "My brother just wants to relieve my sister's worries, why should my sister..."

"Okay!" Mrs. Cai immediately interrupted Zhao Yuan, she stepped forward, blocked Zhao Yuan behind, and sincerely apologized to Gu Ning, "County Lord, my younger brother was born in the countryside, so I don't understand In terms of etiquette, if you offend the county lord, I hope the county lord will spare him for my sake."

"When I was in the capital, my mother always mentioned you." Gu Ning smiled, "You are her good sister, so I naturally want to give you this face."

When mentioning Princess Anyang, Madam Cai's eyes turned red, and she subconsciously asked, "How is Anyang's health? I haven't seen her for six years, and I heard that her health is not as good as before."

At this point, Mrs. Cai knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and she looked around and said, "I'm the one who lost my head. The Beidu Protectorate is full of wind and sand, and the county magistrate is exhausted all the way. You'd better follow me to rest."

Although she wanted to hide her feelings, the tears in her eyes betrayed her heart.

Seeing this, Gu Ning felt a little complicated.

But it was about the safety of Princess Anyang, so she could only lower her head and shook her head slightly: "My mother is not in good health, so I can only rely on the magic doctor for daily acupuncture to keep her alive."

Hearing this, tears welled up in Madam Cai's eyes.

She raised her hand, gently pressed the veil against the corners of her eyes, and wiped away the tears without leaving a trace.

For a moment, she returned to her original expression, as if she hadn't heard Gu Ning's words just now.

"County Lord, please." Mrs. Cai took the lead and introduced the plants and trees in the garden to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning had a smile on his face. Whenever Mrs. Cai mentioned a flower or plant, she would keep nodding and applaud her, but both of them knew that this appearance was just to cover up their true emotions.

General Cai tried his best to maintain his personality. The stones in the backyard are all made of jade, and the plants and trees in the garden are even more precious. There are many things that even the eldest princess has never seen in the yard. .

She was speechless secretly. It seemed that General Cai had received a lot of spoils from the Huns and Yan people over the years.

The two sat in the gazebo, and Mrs. Cai suddenly stepped back from the left and right.

"County Lord." There were slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but when she looked at Gu Ning, the softness in her eyes could not be faked, "I have been in Beidu Protectorate for many years, and I have dealt with many businessmen from Yan Kingdom. I bought a lot of medicinal materials, I heard that they can cure congenital deficiencies, when you return to Beijing, take them back with you, this is my kindness."

Gu Ning blinked, but before she could speak, she heard Mrs. Cai say to herself: "At the beginning, I followed the general to Beidu Protectorate. In order to avoid suspicion, I had less contact with your mother, but I always miss her. , just suffering from no channel to send things to her."

At the other end of the hanging flower door, several maids are carefully holding the things in their hands and walking in small steps. Their attitude towards the objects in their hands shows the preciousness of these things.

As Mrs. Cai beckoned, they quickly put the things in front of Gu Ning, put them down and left quickly.

These jade boxes were opened by Mrs. Cai herself. There are ginseng as thick as a baby's arm, high-quality ganoderma lucidum, and many medicinal herbs that Gu Ning has never seen before but exudes a strong medicinal fragrance.

All these are enough to prove that Mrs. Cai attaches great importance to Princess Anyang.

After Madam Cai opened so many jade boxes containing precious medicinal materials, she carefully picked up a palm-sized jade box, held her breath, and placed it in front of Gu Ning.

She said in a very soft tone: "This is the medicinal material I bought from a traveling merchant. I heard that those herdsmen found it on the top of the snow mountain. At that time, it was guarded by a huge snow wolf. In order to get it, those The herdsmen were almost wiped out, and this medicinal material resembles ginseng, but it exudes a completely different fragrance from ginseng, and I spent a lot of money to buy it from a wandering merchant."

"Look." She opened the jade box, her tone full of excitement, "I asked the imperial physician who was with the army to identify this object, but the imperial physician couldn't tell, only said that this object is miraculous, maybe it is rumored to be able to heal hundreds of thousands of people. The disease has no phase and strange ginseng!"

"No phase strange ginseng?"

When Gu Ning heard this, he was stunned.

And looking at the palm-sized herbs in the jade box, isn't it the young version of the Phaseless Strange Ginseng she stole from the Treasure Pavilion at that time?

Mrs. Cai was quite excited: "Do you recognize it? It can really cure all diseases?"

Under Mrs. Cai's scorching gaze, Gu Ning hesitated for a while, then picked up some irrelevant words and said: "I also heard from the miracle doctor who treated my mother that phaseless ginseng can indeed cure all diseases, but The Phaseless Strange Ginseng he knew was sent to the imperial city during Taizong's time, and it may have been used up."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cai sneered: "So what if they are still in the imperial city? Are they really willing to give such a treasure to Anyang?"

After all, she closed the box of the phaseless ginseng tightly, and stuffed it to Gu Ning: "Even if the phaseless ginseng hasn't grown yet, it will definitely work. Hurry up and die!" Send them back to the capital! Anyang's illness can't be delayed!"

"Madam Cai, such a precious thing..." Gu Ning was startled, and immediately wanted to return the Wuxiang Ginseng to Madam Cai.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cai waved her hand and backed away again and again: "I am in very good health, so I don't need such a thing. No matter how powerful it is, it is just a useless thing for me, but for you As far as my mother is concerned, it can save lives! I know better than anyone else which is more important!"

Gu Ning didn't know how to answer for a while, she held this light jade box, but felt that it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

What is contained in this jade box is not only the strange ginseng without phase, but also the profound friendship between the two.

Her red lips parted slightly, and her clear eyes were full of helplessness. At this moment, she was even thinking about whether to tell Mrs. Cai the truth.

Gu Ning who was so at a loss made Mrs. Cai laugh out loud: "Silly girl, how can the friendship between me and your mother be comparable to that of this phaseless ginseng?"

"I..." In a moment of hesitation, Gu Ning still chose to bury the truth in her heart, she held the jade box carefully, and whispered firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring it back to mother .”

Right as this rare phaseless ginseng is temporarily stored with her, such a precious thing must be returned to its original owner, and she will return it to Mrs. Cai after everything is settled.

Gu Ning's attitude made Mrs. Cai very satisfied.

With a big wave of her hand, she sent someone to tidy up all the jade boxes: "You will send someone to send these medicinal materials back to the capital later, don't make your mother wait too long!"

"I'm afraid I can't do it now." Gu Ning shook his head, "There are so many things that are bound to attract the attention of others. I still have something important to do, so I can't show my traces because of this matter. I will send someone to arrest Wu Xiang The rare ginseng will be sent back to the capital, and the rest of the medicinal materials will be sent back by myself after the dispute is resolved."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cai understood: "That's right, there are all kinds of eyeliners staring at the market, your current status can't do such an eye-catching thing!"

She thought for a while and said with a smile: "Why don't I play a play with you?"

Seeing the interest in Madam Cai's eyes, Gu Ning shuddered and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

……

General Cai is the pinnacle of Dinghai in the Protectorate of the Northern Capital, and every move of the Cai Mansion is particularly eye-catching, especially Fang Chenghai, who sent someone to keep a close eye on General Cai.

So when Xie Yan and Gu Ning stepped into General Cai's mansion, he got the news.

For a moment, Fang Chenghai's eyes swelled and his face turned red: "The Mei family really look down on people! They rejected my overtures, and turned around and went to Cai Zhuona! What can Cai Zhuona give them?"

In a fit of anger, Fang Chenghai swept all the things on the table on the floor, and the study was in a mess. He still hadn't let go of his anger, and kicked over the desk and chair. The crackling sound calmed his inner anger a little.

Seeing Fang Chenghai who was in a rage, a streak of disdain flashed across Jiang Qian's eyes.

"General Fang, now is not the time to be angry. What you have to do is to take the third son Mei back from General Cai." In terms of position, let alone Cai Zhuo, even the Pei family... can't compare to you who have the merits of being a dragon!"

"Why can the Pei family stand up to this day? Isn't it because they brought Taizong to the throne?"

Jiang Qian's words quickly brought Fang Chenghai back to his senses.

After being silent for a while, he nodded with an ugly face: "I will ask the people in the forum to pay more attention to his movements, and make sure to gather the Mei family behind him."
