Chapter 400 Helping Hands
When Liu Dongyue saw Jiang Xian's expression relax, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Princess, I'll wait outside now. Brother Yun will come to report to you as soon as he comes back."
Since Yunlin has done this, Jiang Xian has no worries about it.
"No," she thought for a while, and said, "You said just now, did you hide the woman and the child in our carriage?"
"Yes!" Liu Dongyue hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and sweated on her forehead.
At that time, they were only thinking about how the woman and the child were hiding in a safe place, and wanted to help the family, but they forgot that their whereabouts were secret. In order not to attract others' attention, Jiang Xian even lived in a small inn here... They did this very ignorantly.
Liu Dongyue knelt in front of Jiang Xian with a "bang" sound, and said regretfully and ashamedly: "Princess, Brother Yun and I didn't think about it carefully. I'll hide the woman and the child elsewhere."
Jiang Xian looked a little cold and asked slowly, "Then where are you going to hide that woman and child?"
Liu Dongyue never thought that he was just instinctively trying to protect Jiang Xian.
He murmured for a long time without an answer.
Jiang Xian sighed in his heart.
If you don’t do it, don’t do it. Since you have done it, then do good things to the end, right?
What's more, it's not better if she doesn't encounter such bullying of women and children. But if she encounters it, she must take care of it.
"It's cold and cold, so let them spend the night in the carriage." She said to Liu Dongyue, "You can quietly carry some cold things to the point of keeping cold. Don't let the children get frozen. When Yunlin comes back, we will make plans."
Liu Dongyue responded to "yes" in shame and retreated.
The seventh aunt couldn't help but look at Jiang Xian differently.
She served Jiang Xian for these days. In her opinion, Jiang Xian was very cold to other people and things except for Li Qian's affairs. This time she went to Beijing quietly and would never reach out to care about such idiots. She never thought that Jiang Xian would not only care about it, but also ask for reasons, and look like she had to take care of it to the end. She walked around the world and wanted to see injustice and help her. Jiang Xian's approach was just about to be her temper. She couldn't help but say, "Princess, you are really a Bodhisattva-hearted person. God will bless you."
Jiang Xian vaguely understood what she meant, and the seventh aunt had always been a person who read more and said less. She said such words more and more presumptuously like today, which shows how excited she was.
Such a seventh aunt made her feel very interesting.
She and the seventh aunt joked: "Are I cold to people usually?"
The seventh aunt was used to being happy before entering the Li Mansion. Later, she thought that since she had already entered the Li family, she should follow the rules of the Li family and acted a lot more restrained. At this time, she suddenly appeared uncontrollably. It was obvious that her qi cultivation skills had not yet reached her home. Her face turned slightly red and she smiled and said, "The princess is good at treating people, but she can still help women and children at this time, which makes me admire her very much!"
Jiang Xian felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.
If Liu Dongyue and Yunlin had not hidden the person in their carriage, she would probably not have been concerned about this matter, right?
Is she too cold?
Jiang Xian thought, Yunlin was back.
She invited Yunlin's house to speak.
Yunlin took a breath, took the tea from the lover, sat on the embroidery dock brought by the seventh aunt, and hurriedly said, "Princess, the old lady of the Wang family's surname is Hu, and the second wife of Princess Dongyang is Hu. They said to the outside world that the third son of the Han family wanted the bride to celebrate, but in fact, there was no third son in the Han family. The Wang family accidentally heard that Hu, the second daughter-in-law of Princess Dongyang family, said that the Qingyi County Lord was about to enter the palace to be the queen, but Empress Dowager Cao walked out of the palace and then the Empress Dowager came out. I was afraid that the County Lord of Qingyi would not stand firm in the palace, so he thought about getting in touch with Du Sheng, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace.
"But Du Sheng is cautious and is the emperor's playmate since childhood. Idle people cannot enter. Fortunately, Du Sheng is not asking for anything. He was raised by his brother since childhood. Because of his poor family, his brother kept him even if he gave his eldest son to someone and became a son-in-law. Later, his hometown was flooded and he was sold into the palace by human traffickers. He was separated from his brother and nephew in his family. He was only found last year.
"His brother and sister-in-law had long passed away. Only one nephew was left in the family. After recognizing the marriage, he took the nephew to the capital and raised it as his own.
"Everyone knows that if you want to curry favor with Du Sheng, it is better to curry favor with his nephew.
"It just so happens that his nephew is eighteen years old. At the age of knowing people, he wants to find two beautiful and gentle little girls to serve him.
"The Han family wants to give two people to Du Sheng's nephew.
"Wang's family was immediately moved when they saw that the woman's eldest daughter was very beautiful.
"But that woman is a scholar and would rather die than sell her daughter. The Wang family had no choice but to think of this idea."
Jiang Xian was so angry that he laughed.
This matter is actually related to Xiaodouzi.
Always beefy and humble in front of yourself, but there is this side.
It's really unexpected!
It can be seen that she died in her previous life without any unfairness!
She sneered and asked Yunlin: "In other words, is this Wang family rushing their son to deliver things to others?"
Yunlin nodded.
Jiang Xian said: "Since that's the case, why not send Yangzhou thin horses? Do you have to force the girl to steal?"
Yunlin didn't expect that Jiang Xian knew about Yangzhou's thin horses. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I've inquired. The Wang family really wanted to send Yangzhou's thin horses, but this is too obvious. The better Yangzhou thin horses are not that easy to find..." As he said, he paused and continued with some hesitation, "And the woman's eldest daughter is indeed too handsome, and it's not a question that the Wang family's manager was moved..."
"Is that so?!" Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows and became curious about the woman's eldest daughter. "What's the wife's husband's surname? What is the official position of the husband? Is that girl really that pretty? Bring her to me to see!"
Yunlin said: "The woman said that her husband's surname was Kang, her husband's name was Duan, and her courtesy name was Xiangyun. She was the master of Shanglinyuan. She was a Jinshi in the 13th year of Yongxing. She was originally a criminal magistrate. Later, she missed the matter and was demoted to Shanglinyuan. Although the eldest lady of the Kang family was young, she was charming and beautiful. However, now the Wang family is still looking for people, and someone was sent to guard the inn. If the Wang family was alarmed, it would be troublesome. It was getting late. The woman was shocked and scared with her five children. She was afraid that she would have stopped long ago. Why would she ask the eldest lady of the Kang family to come to you tomorrow? What do you think?"
Jiang Xian is now quite concerned about fate.
Since this is not the time to meet Miss Kang, there is no need to force it, just follow the flow.
"Let's talk about it then." Jiang Xian responded casually and recalled carefully the official surnamed Kang.
It’s a pity that she thought about it, but she never thought that there was an official named Kang who had lived in her previous life as a high-ranking official.
