Chapter 235: Ping'an Town Shopping
Jiang Yuwei was able to hear their conversation only after she entered the yard.
"Mother Wang, look, my old man and I helped raise the young master in the palace. Even if we have no credit, we have worked hard. You should take us with you to the capital."
Chen Guixiang held Wang Ma's hand and begged.
After hearing this, Wang Ma looked embarrassed. After all, she was just a servant. It was natural for her to bring the eldest young master back home. But she didn't dare to make the decision whether to take the old couple back with her.
At this time, Chen Guixiang also noticed that Wang Ma's face was not right, so she quickly reached out and pushed Old Man Ning and cursed:
"Why don't you say something? Look at you standing there like a wooden stake. You are originally a child of Prince Jing's mansion, so it is only natural for you to follow the eldest young master back to the mansion."
After hearing this, Old Man Ning turned his head away silently, not looking at Chen Guixiang, but just lowered his head and started smoking.
Ning Chunlin coughed a few times and said:
"Ahem, that Wang Ma, she's not my parents, that Chen Chen woman is used to serving me, I'm not used to being served by someone else in the palace, why not take them with me to the palace."
Seeing Ning Chunlin speak, Wang Ma stopped worrying. When the prince and princess asked about it in the future, she could use him as a shield. As a servant, she couldn't disobey her master's orders. Thinking of this, Wang Ma smiled and said:
"Okay, since the young master wants to take you two with him, you should hurry back and pack your things. We will set off in the next few days."
After hearing this, Chen Guixiang nodded in thanks profusely, then dragged Old Man Ning and followed Ning Chunlin out. When passing by Jiang Yuwei, she gave her a disdainful look.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei sighed helplessly. It seemed that even if she ran to the capital, she could not escape from this annoying Chen Guixiang.
Jiang Yuwei thought that the most important thing now was to escape from Ningjia Village and deal with future matters later, so she called Ning Huaizhi and Ning Zhao to go to the town to buy things together, and then she saw Ning Qiu rushing over from outside.
As soon as Ning Qiu entered the courtyard, he took Jiang Yuwei's arm and said with a smile:
"Sister Yuwei, I made fun of you just now. I was just in a hurry and didn't know how to express myself. I just came back from my mother's house and came to the courtyard to find you. Ning Wu and I have decided that we will follow you to the capital."
Seeing Ning Qiu's current state, Jiang Yuwei thought that Ning Wu must have coaxed her into submission. Since the couple had made their decision, she couldn't say much, so she nodded and said:
"Okay, as long as you've made up your mind, we're going to the town today to buy some things for the journey. Why don't you come with us? We'll be leaving in a few days, and if we delay any longer we might not be able to buy anything. It would be nice if we go together so we can look after each other."
Ning Qiu nodded and said:
"Okay, Sister Yuwei will follow your instructions. I will go home and let Ningwu drive the ox cart."
It happened that Wang Ma came out of the side room to pour water. When she heard that Jiang Yuwei was going to the town to buy something, she quickly put down the basin in her hand, looked at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Yuwei, can you take Yunqing and me with you? We have to go to town today to buy some carriages and food for our journey."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and smiled:
"Okay, come out when you're done packing."
Aunt Wang hurriedly called out to Yun Qing to hurry back to the house to pack up, take the silver, and run out to get on the ox cart.
When Ning Zixuan heard that they were going to the town, he was worried that they would encounter bandits on the road again, so he came out of the house and said coldly to Jiang Yuwei:
"I'm going to town, too."
Seeing that the prince had spoken, Jiang Yuwei had no reason to disagree, so she nodded in agreement.
After everyone got on the ox cart and sat down, Ning Huaizhi drove the oxen towards the town.
As soon as they entered Ping'an Town, Yun Qing, Ning Zixuan and the other two were sent to the market to choose horses by themselves.
After all, Jiang Yuwei didn't know how to choose horses and couldn't help at all. Although Ning Huaizhi knew how to choose horses, he was of no use. After all, Ning Zixuan had been used to riding in a carriage since he was a child, so he was the best at choosing.
Aunt Wang followed Jiang Yuwei's ox cart. She also had to buy some dry food and clothes for use on the journey.
At present, she had been planning to bring food for Ning Chunlin's family of three. Today, Chen Guixiang, the old woman, had come to discuss with her about following her to Beijing, so now she had to bring their food as well.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Wang Ma and said:
"Auntie Wang, you can buy some flour and make some food to take with you. Anyway, we have enough pots and wood in our yard. You should prepare more food. Now not only Chen Guixiang's family will follow you, but you may also have to bring Ning Chunlin's concubine with you."
When Wang Ma heard this, her eyes widened and she said in surprise:
"Ah, when will the young master marry a concubine? Isn't it said that Mrs. Chen's family doesn't have much money? How come they have spare money for the young master to marry a concubine?"
After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Qiu and burst out laughing.
"Haha, Wang Ma, you don't know that your eldest young master is a capable man. He didn't spend a penny to marry this concubine. It was only after she heard about Ning Chunlin's identity that she followed him wholeheartedly."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang frowned. She was also a servant from a wealthy family, so how could she not know what these women were thinking?
Now that Ning Chunlin has married a rural woman named Sun, it has already given Wang Ma a headache. Before she even went to the Wang Mansion to recognize her relatives, there is now a concubine. Wang Ma now regrets that she did not keep her patience and recognize Ning Chunlin so early.
Thinking of this, Wang Ma looked at Jiang Yuwei and asked:
"Yuwei, which family is this concubine from?"
Ning Qiu, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but laughed out loud after hearing this.
"Auntie Wang, it's still a girl. She is a widow who killed her husband's family. All the people in her husband's family died. She had no more hope in her husband's family and returned to our Ningjia Village. Now she is entangled with Ning Chunlin again."
After hearing this, Wang Ma suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and kept patting her chest with her hands to relieve the breath. In Wang Ma's eyes, a man taking a concubine was not a big deal.
But this concubine is not only not innocent, but also a jinx to her husband and in-laws. If such a woman is really brought to the palace, the princess will probably be angered to death on the spot.
Wang Ma was thinking in her heart that she must not let Ning Chunlin be so confused as to bring this concubine back to Beijing, when she heard Jiang Yuwei laughing and saying:
"Speak of the devil, and here he appears. Aunt Wang, look! Isn't this Ning Chunlin and his concubine?"
Aunt Wang looked in the direction of Jiang Yuwei's finger, and saw Ning Chunlin coming out of a restaurant with a woman in pink in her arms. The woman seemed to be drunk, and she leaned limply in Ning Chunlin's arms.
When Wang Ma saw this, she was shocked. How could such a woman enter Prince Jing's mansion?
