After Lin Daiyu left, Jiang Ling leaned on the soft pillow and thought for a long time, always feeling a premonition that a storm was coming.

The king of Beijing Jing suddenly brought up this matter, it must not be on a whim, otherwise there would be no trouble last night.But Jiang Ling couldn't guess how far King Beijing could achieve in the end.According to what the nanny just said, the Rongguo Mansion is quite troubled both internally and externally. The accounts are being checked outside, and the inside is in a mess. The only treasure is Jia Baoyu, who just doesn't like official articles. It is an unbreakable deadlock.

But Lin Daiyu doesn't like these messy things, and just wants to live in peace.

I hope that after this incident, it can be as Miss Daiyu wishes...

Jiang Ling rubbed her temples lightly, put the cool water on the table, closed her eyes and squinted for a while.

Today's lunch is still the same as in the morning. According to the prescription carefully written by the imperial physician, black-bone chicken is added with nourishing things such as goji berry and angelica. After three times of repeated cooking, a bowl of porridge is made.Although it looks light, the broth has a hint of ginseng, which slowly melts between the lips and teeth, and falls into the belly, warming up the whole person, which is a rare enjoyment.

After resting for half an hour after lunch, another female doctor came to examine the pulse, and adjusted the prescription for dinner a little.

Because Jiang Ling is pregnant with Liujia, her spirit is much more relaxed than usual. Even if she can stay awake for six or seven days, she can only obediently work and rest on time during this time, otherwise she will feel nauseous and feel uncomfortable. stand up.She caressed the little life in her womb, and thought to herself, after the baby was born, she would go back to the last days to see what happened to her body.

Just after taking a nap for a while, she was woken up again by the nuns, saying that an outsider had arrived.

It's Baoqin.

Baoqin should have trotted all the way here, there are still a few snowflakes left on her hair, and her cheeks are slightly red because of running.Jiang Ling had no intention of embarrassing Baoqin at this time, so he asked someone to move a chair and let Baoqin sit down.But Baoqin didn't do it, instead he knelt in front of Jiang Ling, kowtowed and said: "Master, I beg Master Yun to save our house."

Jiang Ling had seen such a scene in Baoqin's dream.

But at that time, it was Mrs. Wang who held the piano and begged.

"Girl Baoqin." Jiang Ling said, "I have nothing to do with your mansion. Even though I lived in Rongguo Mansion for a while, my father gave Rongguo Mansion a batch of gifts before entering the palace. Gold and silver, the right to be a child. Now," she looked down at Baoqin, still adding the word "girl" after Baoqin's name, "Girl Baoqin, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Ling calls Baoqin a girl, one is to maintain the superficial etiquette, and the other is to divide the relationship.

"Master Yun." Baoqin begged, "The old lady really had no choice, so she came to beg you. Since last night, the mansion has begged for everything that can and cannot be begged. Our eldest girl has already returned to the mansion today, and she knelt in front of the queen mother all morning before she gave her extra favors and allowed her to take family leave. Miss Lin went to nowhere, and the King of Beijing... this is her in-laws, how could they do this , I don't care about the slightest bit of relatives' affection."

Jiang Ling closed his eyes, leaned on the soft pillow, and asked slowly: "Did your old lady teach you to say this?"

"Yes... But Master Yun, this is what our first and second masters mean." Baoqin raised her head and looked at her anxiously, "Last night, the two masters in the mansion stayed up all night. The master of the mansion also stayed up all night. I don’t know why, the prince checked the accounts at the Ministry of Households, and he was the first to find out the superiors of the Rongguo Mansion, saying that the shop in our mansion had missed taxes, and that the second master was usually idle. Every year, the class exams are good, and they use money. This, how can this be done. Also, it is said that our second grandma Lian has been bribed. Right now, I am looking for a bad debt. He said that there were omissions in reporting the money in and out of the mansion and the household department, and this time all the holes will be plugged. If the holes in the Rongguo Mansion can't be blocked, then there is no need to check the ones behind. Master Yun, You are a serious lady from the official family, and your wealth is also rich, so the Elder Master thought, I want to borrow some money from you to tide over the difficulties."

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "What did you just say?"

"A serious official lady"?

Back then, Baoqin had said that she knew everything about her.

Jiang Ling glanced over Baoqin's eyes, and saw her eyes flicker, and asked, "Did the old lady teach you to say that?"

Apart from the old lady who was old and refined, Jiang Ling really couldn't think of another person.

Baoqin lowered her head helplessly, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

Jiang Ling leaned back a little, then shook his head suddenly. "A serious lady from the official family", these nine words are quite subtle. A while ago, in their dreams, Mrs. Wang didn't say that.This time, do you want to borrow money?

Jiang Ling looked down at Baoqin again, and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"3 taels of silver."

Baoqin reported a number. 3 taels of silver is not a small amount, it is worth 20 years' salary of a feudal official.If it weren't for that lord's family still has property, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to get a tenth of it out.Just now Jiang Ling estimated, this number is also very subtle, just enough for the adult to get it out, but not enough for the family to be stretched.But now the problem is-

"My father is far away in Lingnan, and I have lived in the deep palace for a long time. How can you be sure that my father will listen to me and lend the money? This is one. Second, even if my father has this intention, the family members of our family Most of the industries are located in central Shu, Lingnan, and the Jianghuai area. The Rongguo Mansion wants to borrow 3 taels of silver, so they can’t borrow it after three months? Third, the old lady knows exactly what is going on with me. Baoqin girl, you also know it well. Do you really dare to conclude that I can borrow this money? Fourth, I just made a calculation. The Duke of Rong is passed down to the third generation, and the title and salary will be halved. It will be halved again, but it is still more than four times my father's salary, plus most of the children of the Rongning Second Mansion are officials in the court, so it is really appropriate for you to ask my father for a loan?"

After listing out one, two, three and four, Baoqin's face turned pale again.

Originally, Baoqin was ordered by the old lady to come to the palace to try Jiang Ling.Those words just now were also taught to her word by word by the old lady, and also passed through the mouth of Second Grandma Bao, who corrected them to the point that even the words were correct.But unexpectedly, Jiang Ling would be so straightforward and refused the matter.

What should she do now?

Seeing Baoqin's expression, Jiang Ling roughly guessed something.

"You really recounted those words just now." Jiang Ling said, "Otherwise you won't know how to deal with it. Well, you can take my words back to the old lady, and say that I can't do it, and I can't do it." It shouldn't be done."

Then Jiang Ling called a maid to come in and said, "See off the guests."

"Miss Yunbi." Baoqin still said to himself, "Why don't you cherish the old friendship..."

Jiang Ling smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Miss Baoqin." Jiang Ling said slowly, "I have never had any relationship with the masters and wives in your house, especially the second wife. See off the guests." After saying that, he closed his eyes, Leaning back a little, it means not to say more.

Baoqin wanted to talk again, but the maid had already rejected her with "Master Yun is not in good health, please go back".After a while, suddenly a big court lady came in hurriedly, saluted Jiang Ling: "Greetings to the master. Master, someone came from Jingren Palace just now, saying that the master heard that the master had a fetal gas and wanted to personally Come to check on the master's illness, and send some anti-abortion medicinal materials to the master. Master, look—"

Before the words fell, there was a shrill voice from outside: "Concubine Yi arrived—"

It really means that when Cao Cao arrives, Jiang Ling will not be given any time to react.

Jiang Ling rubbed the center of his brows, and said: "Concubine Yi, please come in." First she hugged the piano and then Concubine Yi, it was true that she was not allowed to hide.Jiang Ling called two nuns and asked them to help him lie down on the bed.But because of the short time, there was no time to make any preparations, so I could only simply remove my coat, and leaned on a soft pillow behind me.

The two nuns stood by the bed, one behind the other, afraid of repeating yesterday's situation.

When Yipin came in, Jiang Ling just turned his head and glanced at the door.The palace lady who led the way was timid and hesitant, with a bit of aggrieved expression on her face, as if she had just been scolded by Concubine Yi.Behind Yipin, there were four other court ladies, which happened to be the four that I saw yesterday.As soon as he entered the room, Yi Concubine said: "I heard that Yun Concubine had a fetal gas, so I wanted to come here to have a look at you. Come here, bring in the things I have prepared to make up for Yun Concubine, don't ask for it." What a waste."

A group of people filed in from the outside, some carrying boxes, some carrying medicinal materials, some holding prescriptions, but most of them were holding some unknown spices, filling the room in various ways.Jiang Ling held her breath subconsciously, and gave the nuns a look, signaling them to open the window.

The nurse next to the window stepped forward and opened the window half way.

The fragrance in the room was half gone in an instant, Jiang Ling leaned on the soft pillow, bowed towards Concubine Yi: "Thank you Concubine Yi for that. But unfortunately, I just had lunch and some medicine at noon , You see, Fang Zi is still on the desk, these things, I am afraid that they will not be able to be used in a short time."

In any case, the possible danger must be snuffed out in the cradle first.

The Yi concubine in front of me had a precedent, and it happened more than once.

When Yipin heard Jiang Ling's words, her expression paused slightly, but she quickly returned to her original state, and said with a smile, "That's reasonable. Since the imperial physician has already ordered it, then follow the imperial physician's order. I don't know Yunbi How do you feel now? Feel better?"

Jiang Ling also showed an elegant smile: "Thank you, Yipin, for your concern. It's a little better than yesterday."

It is "a little bit better", not that there is no serious problem, nor is there no improvement, just enough to block the conversation from both ends.

Yipin choked when she heard the words, and the smile just faded away a little.

Although I have heard for a long time that Yunbi is not simple, at least not as gentle and harmless as he looks on the surface, but I didn't expect that I was exposed by Yunbi lightly and deftly twice in a row, like a punch On the cotton, it makes people very angry and stuffy.

Still leaning on the soft pillow, Jiang Ling coughed a little, reminding Yipin that she is still a sick person.

Yipin's complexion changed a few times, and finally took a deep breath, returning to her calm and relaxed appearance.

"In this way, Concubine Yun's luck is very good." Concubine Yi sat down on the chair prepared for her, plucked her nails leisurely, her tone was slightly cold, "When I first entered the palace, the emperor said One person was left, but you were left alone. Immediately afterwards, the emperor was going to Rehe to cool off the summer heat, and you happened to be injured, so you were taken to Rehe by the emperor. Then the southern tour was to pick someone to follow, what a coincidence, I have picked you again. If these things didn’t happen in the Qianqing Palace, I almost think it’s because of your skill, Yunbin.”

Jiang Ling coughed lightly.This is the second time Yipin said that she was lucky.

"I won't say much else," Yibi glanced over coolly, "good luck will eventually run out. Although you were safe and sound yesterday, but now," Yibi looked Jiang Ling up and down, Only then did he continue, "It's still an accidental fetal gas. Although the imperial physicians are indeed by my side, who knows what will happen in the future. Concubine Yun, what do you think?"

Jiang Ling coughed again, but couldn't hold back after all: "You really think I'm lucky?"

Yipin glanced at her coolly: "I'm not Hui...that idiot, if you're unlucky, you'd already be out in the cold by now. If you had better means, you wouldn't be able to do it now." She will be just a concubine. It looks good to be promoted two levels in a row, but in fact, she is still promoted step by step. Compared with that noble concubine, she is really one underground and one heaven."

Jiang Ling coughed twice.

"Okay, I won't talk too much about greetings." Yi Bin said, "Let your people back down, I want something to say to you alone."

The two nuns turned their heads in an instant and looked at Jiang Ling with a hint of worry in their eyes.

"It's not Ben Gong who said it." Yi Cong said pointedly, word for word, "There are only Ben Gong and Yun Concubine in this room, if something really goes wrong with Yun Concubine, there is still Ben Gong's benefit? You are worried that Concubine Yun is true, but please use your brains to think about it? If I really want to harm your master, why should I do it at this time and this place?"

The movements of the two nuns froze, and their expressions became a little more suspicious.

It seems that Yipin's words are not without reason.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then said: "Go down, cover the door, and come in after a quarter of an hour."

Two quarters of an hour, no matter what Yun Bin wants to do, it is enough.And she also has abilities as a killer.

Yi Pin smiled approvingly: "Your master is still courageous." Then she said to the people in the room, "Why are you still standing there, do you want me to invite you out?"

The nuns looked at each other, saw Jiang Ling nodded slightly again, and led the maids in the room, together with the four maids brought by Yibi, out together.Of course, by the way, some herbs and spices with strong smell were brought out.

Yipin didn't care about their actions, and after everyone had left, she got up and walked to Jiang Ling's side. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a sharp announcement from outside:

"Concubine Hui arrives—"
