Chapter 240
"What are you talking about?"
"The slut has no shame and seduces her master!"
"what?"
"Just this one unfounded statement almost forced the girl to jump into the river!"
"The girl's family members are worried that she might have done something wrong, so they are trying to persuade her not to get married."
"As a concubine of a wealthy family, I will never have to worry about food and drink."
"Just like that, the girl got married..."
Passerby A sighed: "If I had known this would happen, I would have died right from the start."
"But then again..." Passerby A said sensibly again, "If she really didn't seduce the master, why would she swallow this grievance? How hard is it to say loudly "she didn't do it"? I think she might still have a guilty conscience!"
After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a long while before she realized it belatedly and said, "So, Zhao Dalang used this method and tasted the sweetness again and again, so he also wanted to do the same, first ruining Jiang Anning's reputation, and then taking her as a concubine?"
I didn't expect that Jiang Anning was not the kind of person who would swallow his anger in silence.
It just started a commotion!
"Nine times out of ten!"
"Then how dare he get involved with the county magistrate..."
Passerby A and Passerby B looked at each other, both of them were confused.
Yeah, why?
When Mrs. An and others came over, Zhao Yufang was still cursing.
When Mrs. Zhao heard all kinds of obscene words, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to faint.
Is this girl crazy?
How can you maintain your reputation by saying such obscene words in public?
It took her only a moment to make a decision. She cut the Gordian knot and loudly ordered the maid beside her, "The girl may have been hit by a wandering ghost. Go and pin the person down, send him home and ask the master to come over!"
Mrs. Zhao attributed Zhao Yufang's crazy talk to the impact of ghosts and gods in just a few words.
She walked forward quickly, and took Jiang Anning's hand with a guilty and distressed look on her face: "I'm so sorry, my daughter has gone mad after being attacked by the evil spirit."
"My daughter has always been kind-hearted. She certainly didn't mean what she said just now. Madam Jiang Xiu must not resent my daughter because of this unexpected incident and stop associating with her in the future."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhao took off a chicken blood red bracelet from her wrist and put it on Jiang Anning's hand without letting anyone refuse: "This is just a small token of my appreciation. Madam Jiang Xiu, please don't get angry about this anymore!"
"It's not worth it to get sick from anger."
The condescending attitude makes people very uncomfortable.
Mrs. Zhao probably knew that her words were untenable, so she gave the bracelet and immediately turned around and left.
As they walked, he said loudly, "The girl must have been kindhearted before and felt sorry for Zhao Yinlian, who had to deal with a family like that and became a wandering ghost, so she burned some paper money for her. But in the end, she was entangled by that little bitch!"
"A pauper is a pauper. They are shameless and unscrupulous. They don't deserve any sympathy at all."
She shouted loudly: "I will definitely invite a highly respected master chef to come and beat her to death!"
In one sentence, Zhao Yufang was put in the position of a poor victim.
The grudge between Zhao Yinlian and Jiang Anning is no longer a secret in Jiang'an County.
It makes sense that Zhao Yufang burned paper money for Zhao Yinlian because she sympathized with her and ended up being pestered, and thus developed hostility towards Jiang Anning...
Jiang Anning had to admit that not everyone could be the mistress of this wealthy family!
Look at his quick response and the lies he tells without hesitation.
Even these words are actually "reasonable" and "self-consistent"...
It is estimated that in a few days, the eldest son of the Zhao family will marry a wife and take charge of the family.
By then, the claim that Zhao Jia Dalang took the skilled cooks and embroiderers as concubines in order to take advantage and save on wages would probably be self-defeating.
After all, he is married!
If it is true as everyone says, that Zhao Jia Dalang is a hypocritical villain who covets concubines and forces good girls to become concubines, how could any girl from a good family be willing to marry him?
Even if the eldest son of the Zhao family has a bad reputation, bad character, and an unattractive appearance, I think with Mrs. Zhao's means, she will be able to trick someone into finding a "good daughter-in-law" who is pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Anning suddenly felt very bored.
Also very confused.
What is the purpose of a woman’s life?
After the farce was over, Mrs. An, as the host, came out to smooth things over and invited everyone to take their seats.
"Today I specially asked someone to send crabs and sea bass from the south. The crabs are now at their plumpest. Everyone should taste them carefully later!"
When they heard that there were crabs to eat, everyone immediately responded happily and no longer mentioned what had just happened.
"I've heard that the chef at Madam An's house is amazing. I can't even finish talking about all the delicious dishes he cooks. Especially when it comes to cooking crabs, he's the best! I'm so lucky to have a good meal today."
"This season is really a good time to eat crabs. Some time ago, the heads of the small farms near my home also sent two baskets of river crabs. The crab roe and crab paste were so fat! It's a pity that the river crabs raised in my rice fields are not good stuff. I can't really show them off. Otherwise, I would definitely send some to each of your homes."
Someone who was on good terms with the woman immediately took up the conversation, "Look at what you're saying. If you don't want to give it to us, then don't give it to us. What's so bad about it? I'm really proud of rice field crabs. If you really want to give them to me, send two baskets to my house tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll think you're just being polite."
"How can I be falsely polite? Since you said so, I will definitely send it to you. Two baskets are not enough? Given our relationship, I must send at least ten baskets."
The two of them were chatting, laughing, and joking around, and it was obvious that they had a very good relationship.
Seeing the two of them talking excitedly, the others also followed suit and said, "Everyone who sees it gets a share. We can at least get a share, right?"
The lady who said she wanted to give away crabs smiled and was as amiable as the goddess of fertility in the temple: "We have everything! Not one less, we have everything!"
After the woman agreed to the others' requests, her eyes fell on Jiang Anning and she said, "I don't know if Jiang Xiu Niang has any dietary restrictions. I'll send you two baskets later, just for you to try."
"I don't have any dietary restrictions." Jiang Anning smiled faintly and said honestly, "I just don't usually eat crabs."
"It's good that there are no dietary restrictions." Seeing that the man had responded, the woman immediately walked up to him and took Jiang An Ning's arm, acting as if she was very friendly and had a very harmonious relationship with him. "There's nothing rare that can be raised on the farm, but there are quite a few loaches in the rice fields. I'll send some to Jiang Xiu Niang tomorrow."
"I heard that this thing is very effective in replenishing blood!"
"As women, what we fear most is insufficient Qi and blood."
"All medicines are poisonous, and food supplements are worse than medicine supplements."
The woman talked endlessly to Jiang An Ning about various ways to maintain health.
The tone is friendly and gentle, but not uncomfortable.
Jiang Anning could add a few words from time to time.
The two of them chatted back and forth all the way until they sat down at their table.
The woman simply asked Jiang An Ning to sit next to her and continued to talk to her about what to eat and drink in different seasons, as if they had been spiritual friends for many years and had endless things to talk about.
Everyone then realized that what he had said about crabs and sent them crabs was fake, and his real intention was to take the opportunity to get in touch with Jiang Anning.
"How scheming!" Someone complained in a low voice in dissatisfaction.
It's just that no one cares.
Everyone was busy looking for opportunities to get close to Jiang Anning and become familiar with her.
Jiang An Ning was a little at a loss... It was clearly the birthday of the eldest daughter of the An family, but it seemed like she had become a hot topic.
She couldn't help but look at Mrs. An for help, not wanting to steal the show.
However, Mrs. An was actually happy to see this happen. Not only did she ignore her request for help, she also cooperated in various ways and pulled other people to talk to them in order to make space for them.
He even introduced other ladies to Jiang Anning from time to time.
Jiang An Ning had no choice but to respond to the ladies' enthusiasm while trying to steer the topic towards Miss An: "...I haven't seen Miss An come out yet. She is the protagonist today."
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.
Not long after Jiang Anning finished speaking, a clear and hearty voice came from far outside the banquet room.
"But I'm late?"
"Mother……"
The eldest daughter of the An family walked towards Mrs. An with a smile on her face, just in time to meet Jiang An Ning.
Jiang Anning, who was originally smiling and being polite with the ladies beside her, suddenly changed her expression.
The spoon in her hand was unstable for a moment, and it fell into the soup bowl with a clang, splashing the sweet soup everywhere.
"What's wrong with you?"
The woman next to her saw that she was pale with fright, as if she had seen something frightening and couldn't even hold the spoon steadily. She hurriedly handed her a handkerchief and asked about her concern.
Jiang An Ning came back to her senses and forced a smile: "No, nothing... The eldest daughter of the An family is so beautiful that I was stunned for a moment."
She smiled apologetically at the woman and said, "I'm so sorry. I'm rude. Please don't blame me, ma'am."
"That's nothing." The woman replied with a casual smile.
But in my heart I didn't really believe what Jiang Anning said.
A heavenly figure?
She turned her gaze to the face of the eldest daughter of the An family and shook her head slightly.
Mrs. An was not bad looking. She was the former Jiangning Weaving Supervisor and was also a famously beautiful young lady.
He was also the third place winner chosen by the emperor.
Logically speaking, the child born from these two people would not be stunningly beautiful, but at least he would not be as ordinary as the eldest daughter of the An family.
Even with Mrs. An and her husband, there is absolutely no similarity.
The woman couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Does Jiang Xiuniang know Miss An?"
Jiang Anning recovered from her shock, restrained her expression, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and smiled just right: "I don't know him."
However, I have never met him in this life.
"Why would you ask that, ma'am?"
She said calmly, "I seldom went into the city before, and I seldom came into contact with you nobles. Today is the first time I have met Miss An."
The lady frowned slightly, as if she didn't believe it.
"However, although this is the first time I've met Miss An, I still feel like I've seen you before, as if I've known you before, as if..." Jiang An Ning frowned slightly and said hesitantly, half-truthfully, "It's as if I've seen you somewhere before."
"So this is ah."
The woman heard this and immediately believed it: "No wonder you were so surprised when you saw someone just now that you even dropped the spoon in your hand."
"Maybe it's because Miss An has kind eyes and looks like a bodhisattva worshipped in a Buddhist temple, so she is particularly kind."
Jiang Anning sighed sincerely.
The woman chuckled: "I never realized that you, a girl, look dull and honest, but when you speak sweet words, you are so eloquent and pleasant to the ear."
How can you praise a young girl for her kind face?
Doesn’t this mean that the person is old?
The woman smiled very happily, as if what Jiang Anning said was exactly what she wanted.
but……
The woman glanced at the eldest daughter of the An family and felt that Jiang An Ning's words were beautified and pertinent.
She was obviously just a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, but when she stood next to Madam An, she didn't look like Madam An's daughter, but rather like Madam An's elder sister or aunt.
Jiang Anning smiled shyly: "I am also telling the truth."
"you're right!"
The woman looked at Mrs. An and her daughter coming over here, and she didn't bother about their appearance anymore. She smiled and said, "Miss An looks steady."
Jiang Anning laughed along.
When Mrs. An and Miss An came up to them, they couldn't help but smile and joke, "You two are getting along really fast. I haven't seen you for a while, but you're already chatting and laughing. What are you whispering about here? Tell me, so I can have some fun with you."
"What else can I say? I'm just praising your daughter."
The woman responded to the jokes with a smile, and praised Miss An warmly and lovingly: "...I haven't seen your daughter for a long time. In the blink of an eye, she has grown into a big girl. The more you look at her, the more stable she is. She has the demeanor of a head of the family. She will definitely be good in the future! You are blessed to be able to support the family!"
Jiang Anning felt inwardly that this woman was even better at flattering people than she was at talking nonsense.
She suppressed her emotions, smiled and politely greeted the man as an equal, as if the previous gaffe had never happened.
Miss An looked at the man with contempt and gave a perfunctory salute in return, looking completely disdainful of him.
It’s just that due to my upbringing, and with Madam An right next to me, and outsiders and elders present, it would be rude, right?
Jiang Anning's smile deepened.
But it’s true...his personality and behavior are exactly the same, they’ve never changed!
Even the contempt in his eyes towards her was exactly the same as before.
Mrs. An had also pulled over and introduced the two to each other.
"You two little sisters are of similar age. I think you will have something to say to each other. Come on, get to know each other."
Jiang Anning smiled politely, but her heart was filled with hatred.
She has nothing to say to anyone.
There are countless grudges!
I just don’t know...how did Tian Yan become the apple of Mrs. An’s eye in this life?
She also changed her name to An Yanran.
