Chapter 3 — Female Guardian Luc Lenh Nghi
"He said that as long as you are willing to hand over the green jade seal, he will find you a good marriage." I smiled and asked: "How good?" Her eyes flashed with pleasure. "Being the stepmother of Cao maid of the Ministry of Rites." This year, maid Cao is fifty-two years old, and has had three wives, all of whom have died. When the third wife died, there was not a single piece of healthy skin left on her body. It turns out my father also prepared this path for me. I nodded. "Okay." Giang Minh Chau was stunned. "You agree?" "Parents' orders, what do I disagree with?" After she left, Xuan Hanh impatiently paced back and forth. I sent someone to call the oldest farmers in the farm. In recent days, we have checked the list of tenant farmers, not to count the population. The books can be edited, but ten thousand food stones cannot disappear for no reason. If you want to transport food from Truong Phong Trang to the citadel, you must go through Thanh Thuy wharf. Among the more than ten old ferrymen at the wharf, there will definitely be someone who still remembers. They are illiterate and have never seen a payroll book. But they clearly remembered that last winter, young master Giang led people to transport food for nine nights. Because in those few days the river surface was covered with a thin layer of ice, Giang Thua Trach criticized the boat for going slow and beat a ferryman to death. The deceased's father is now standing in front of me. The old man bowed his back and said only one sentence. "Whatever the second lady needs, the old man is willing to say it." I put fifty taels of silver back in the box. "No rush." What I need is not just everyone's testimony. "I want them to be undeniable."7. Last winter, two northern continents experienced snowfall, and the royal court ordered all places to donate food for relief. His parents proactively asked to take on the responsibility of escorting the district's food aid. In the chapter, he said that the Giang family was willing to use the food produced by the Ninh An district army's estate to donate 12,000 stones. Therefore, the saint gave praise to the Giang family for their loyalty. But those 12,000 stones were never brought to the disaster area. After Giang Thua Trach transported food out of Truong Phong Trang, he changed boats at Thanh Thuy wharf. On the boat was old food mixed with sand and soil. Good food is sold to brands in the north that are buying at high prices. That year, many people in the area suffered from starvation. Father was promoted. The leader also relied on his merit of "escorting food for relief" and was able to work at the Household Ministry. What they took away was not only our food, but also the lives of others. The old boatmen clearly remember the shipping route during those nine nights, and also remember the six boats whose bows were damaged. Giang Thua Trach bribed the patrol and destroyed documents at the wharf, but forgot that the boat was broken and needed to have its ropes replaced. The rope shop in the east of the city still has that debt. His personal seal was stamped on the debt paper. The day I got the debt paper, my father sent someone to urge me to return to the palace. The Cao family's marriage letter was also delivered. Ten days later they got married. Xuan Hanh looked at me: "Miss, do you really want to get married?" I put away the debt paper. "Of course." "My father chose such a good husband for me, of course I have to go back and thank him."8. After returning to the palace, my stepmother changed her previous cold attitude and personally chose my wedding dress. She was wearing a red silk sheet embroidered with lotus flowers on her body, and there was even a bit of kindness in her eyes. "Lord Cao, although a bit older, knows how to love people. If you marry there, you will be the main wife, and in the future you will not lack honor and wealth." I looked into the bronze mirror and smiled slightly. "Mother is right." Giang Minh Chau sat next to her, playing with the jade seal in her hand.
my green. That seal was swapped by me. The real estate seal was hidden in an abandoned well in Truong Phong Trang. What she had in her hand was just an ordinary piece of green jade carved in a very similar way. "After the second sister gets married, the estate still has to be managed by someone." She smiled and said: "Father said I've been studying housekeeping for a few years with my mother, so how about temporarily taking care of it for you?" I won't expose it. On the contrary, he asked: "Sister is about to marry into An Quoc Cong's palace, why do you still have time to manage the estate for me?" The marriage between her and An Quoc Cong's crown prince was the plan that made father most pleased in recent years. For this marriage, the stepmother prepared eighty burdens of dowry. More than half of it comes from my estate's profits. Giang Minh Chau stroked the jade hairpin in his sideburns. "The crown prince said that women don't need to just stay in the house. He appreciates my understanding and is willing to let me manage some of the property." "That's good." I said softly. "You are more fortunate than me." She proudly left. But the stepmother did not immediately follow. She looked at me in the mirror and suddenly said: "Leng Nghi, actually I don't want to take things to the extreme."
