Chapter 71 Your kindness and powerful general have been snat
hat's right."Ginger said in a firm tone, "I don't have any other requests, just this one. Otherwise, it's off the table."Once she ensured his safety and escorted him to the wilderness, she would have..."Your family members are fine for now."
Jiang Wan looked at Pan Hongyan, whose face was full of anxiety. Pan Hongyan happily cupped his fists towards Jiang Wan.
"Previously, I was short-sighted. Thank you, Miss Song!"
Don't be shy!
Ginger nodded slightly. While Pan Hongyan lifted the curtain and communicated with the person inside, she quietly left, concealing her contributions and fame.
"Are you okay"
Song Jiubian looked at her return, first nervously scanning her body up and down, before he let out a breath of relief.
"They're not some wolves or hyenas, why are you so nervous"
Jiang Wan was both amused and touched. She never thought Song Jiu Yuan would worry about her one day; it was truly a sight to behold.
Song Jiubian didn't expect her to still be able to laugh. He pulled her to his side and whispered in her ear,
"That person must be the old Grand Tutor."
His magnetic voice softly seeped into my ears, the warmth of his words flowing over me like electricity.
Jiang Wan only felt a jolt of electricity shoot through her body, her body tingling slightly. She blurted out:
What is a Taifu
After asking, she regretted it and hurriedly remedied, "What I meant is, how did you know he was the old grand tutor"
Although this might be a bit late, luckily Song Jiubian didn't press the issue. Instead, he glanced at the carriages not far away and whispered an explanation to Jiang Wan:
The Grand Tutor's carriage had a special mark, I've seen it several times.
The former chief minister had once been the emperor's teacher, but after the emperor ascended to the throne, they gradually grew distant.
Not long after, the Grand Tutor retired from his post, citing his old age. Nowadays, few officials in Dàfēng have ever met the former Grand Tutor.
"It's him, then."
Ginger muttered under her breath, recalling the plot from the original book. It seemed that the old grand tutor would later become the sixth prince's advisor.
But now...
Ginger gently curved her lips, "I'm sorry, Sixth Prince. Your grace and capable general were both stolen by me."
It's really like planting willows without intention, but they grow into shade!
"Big brother, sister-in-law, what are you two whispering about"
Song Jiuli curiously blinked at them, and even Song Jichí and Song's eldest lady looked at the two of them.
"It's nothing."
Song Jiubian fidgeted uncomfortably and averted his gaze, inadvertently giving off the impression of someone with something to hide.
Just then, Ren Bang walked over and handed a package to Jiang Wan. "This is the gift from that gentleman earlier," he said.
Thank you.
Ginger didn't hesitate. It was a thank you gift from someone she saved, and she deserved it.
But she never expected that when she opened the package, it almost blinded her titanium eyes.
Well done, this old chancellor is truly generous, giving her a package full of gold!
Ginger almost instinctively closed the package, luckily she was quick and only those close to her and Ren Bang saw it.
Ginger reached into the center and pulled out a gold ingot, giving it to Ren Bang. Her voice was filled with gratitude.
"Also thanks to Brother Ren for the recommendation."
"
You're welcome!
"
Ren Bang took the gold and left. Jiang Wan hurriedly shoved the package into her basket, and Chen's wife laughed, changing the subject.
"Song girl, you're truly amazing, a role model for all of us women to learn from."
It's not bad.
Although Ginger was putting on a humble facade, the crazed upward curve of her mouth made everyone laugh and cry at the same time.
While they were chatting, a magnificent carriage had been parked not far away.
Soon Ren Bang called everyone to continue their journey. To Ginger's surprise, the carriage seemed to be traveling the same route as them.
Perhaps because the old man's body wasn't feeling well, they didn't walk very fast. Their walking party was a distance away from Jiang Wan and their group.
"They wouldn't be following us like that Young Master Lin, would they"
Song Jiuli was known for being sarcastic and outspoken, never holding back her words. Song's mother couldn't help but give her a withering look.
Cut it out.
I was just saying.
Song Jiuli pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak, afraid that Jiang Wan would get angry. In fact, Jiang Wan wasn't angry.
"Whether it's Young Master Lin or that old gentleman, I just did my best to treat them."
As for the rest, it's their own business and has nothing to do with us. Perhaps they're just traveling the same path
"Your sister-in-law is right, Li'er. We are different now, and we can't just say whatever we want like before.
"Be careful, or they'll get you in trouble. You understand"
Song Dajiao said earnestly, "If they were exiled people, even without the shackles of criminals, once they arrived in a desolate place, perhaps even ordinary people would look down on them."
Not to mention those young masters from aristocratic families or officials.
"I understand."
Song Jiuli muttered in response, but didn't say anything more. She just walked on silently.
Fortunately, she had a cheerful personality and her emotions came and went quickly. After a while, she was chasing Ginger Braid again.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you pick some."
"Okay, like dandelion, it can actually be a medicinal herb too, and these, they all have uses. Let's collect some more."
Ginger smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners, oblivious to the lively figure that had caught the eye of two men in carriages trailing behind her.
But even if she knew, Ginger wouldn't care about these things.
During their lunch break, Ginger taught Song Jiuli how to make a chicken oil mushroom soup.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wan also casually cooked a wild chicken with goji berries. The aroma was so enticing that it made everyone's mouths water.
The Chen family next to them were also eating chicken oil mushrooms today, which Chen Wenhao had just picked. Mrs. Chen was full of gratitude for the ginger paste.
Because she understood, she released Wen Haocai to help them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had this opportunity.
"My lady, please drink some soup."
Chen Ce carefully ladled the bowl of soup and whispered to Mrs. Chen, "When the magistrate trusts me a little more, I'll also go hunt some game for you."
Actually, Chen Ce knows how to hunt. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to protect his wife and child if they were in danger.
But not everyone can receive the favor of the official, so he is unable to enter and leave freely.
"Okay."
Madam Chen nodded emotionally and patted Chen Wenhao's little head, "Wenhao, remember Aunt Wan's kindness."
"Don't worry, mother, I remember."
Chen Wenhao nodded like a little adult, which made his parents laugh and cry.
Simmer their soup slowly, after all there's chicken in it, it tastes better when it's cooked tender.
Just as Song Jiuli was about to lift the lid of the pot, Pan Hongyan strode over with long legs.
Can we buy this pot of soup from you
Since Ginger helped the old man, his attitude towards Ginger changed a lot.
Look at this pot of milky white, simmered broth with goji berries floating inside. It looks very nourishing and suitable for adults.
Everyone:
"But this is our lunch."
Song Jiu Li muttered to herself, but didn't dare make a decision. Instead, she looked at Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan first served Song Jiubian a bowl of soup with some chicken, then said to Pan Hongyan:
"Sir, you can't possibly eat an entire pot by yourself. How about we sell you half of it"
"That works too!"
Pan Hongyan took another step back to get their pot, still carrying a box in her hand.
"This is food for grown-ups, you should switch and have some."
The adults said they took their food, so they couldn't travel comfortably because they were hungry.ious that even if they delay their journey and arrive in the wasteland, they won't be blamed.Furthermore, if ginger really could cure smallpox, he would petition the emperor for clemency for the Song...
