Chapter 98 Birthday Banquet (1)

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "The orphan book my mother searched for before has said this kind of bracelet."

Zhao Jin nodded: "So that's it, but this thing can only be regarded as a hidden weapon. I still like that sword more."

Jiang Ruan stretched out his fingers to touch the smooth surface of the bracelet, and his eyes suddenly became deep. In the last life, Jiang Quan once found a similar bracelet for Jiang Susu. At that time, Jiang Susu wore it day and night. Jiang Ruan was envious, but in the end he didn't have the courage to say to Jiang Quan that he wanted one too. He could only pretend that the silver bracelet on his wrist also had such a function, and occasionally touched it to deceive himself into having such a mechanism.

Thinking about it now, it seems like an unreal dream. The Blood Moon Bracelet in her hand looks better than Jiang Susu's one, and it can hold more needles. The maid also explained that the needle inside would be pulled back through the tiny silk thread of Tiansan silk thread, which was highly poisonous, and it was very suitable to put it next to her. However, Jiang Ruan shook her head and put the bracelet back.

"Does the girl think it's not good?" The maid saw Jiang Ruan's face and liked the bracelet very much, but her actions were surprising now.

"I don't have that much money." Jiang Ruan smiled and could only bear the pain and give up.

"So too." Zhao Jin looked at the sword hanging on the wall reluctantly: "I hope it can touch my father."

The two looked at each other and smiled, looked at the things in the building for a while, then went downstairs to find Lin Zixiang and the others.

After they left, the maid who had been following them to explain and walked to the celadon lion's head at the wall behind the room and pressed it. A small door opened, and there was a elegant room next to it. It was so close that the dialogue in the hall was not difficult to hear clearly.

"Master," the maid said respectfully: "Miss Jiang's favorite is this Blood Moon Bracelet." After that, he presented the tray.

The man sitting in the elegant room said "happy" and said without looking back: "Put it away."

"Yes." The maid quietly stepped down again.

The man walked to the window. The drizzle made everything in the capital hazy, but it could not block people's sight. A moment later, downstairs, Jiang Ruan and others got on the carriage. The carriage rolled on the wheels and drove away slowly.

On this day, I went out with Dong Ying'er to choose the birthday ceremony, but in the end Jiang Ruan didn't buy anything. Dong Ying'er asked curiously: "Are you going back empty-handed?"

"I don't have any money." Jiang Ruan smiled softly.

Unexpectedly, Miss Houmen was so sad. Dong Ying'er and the other two felt a little sympathy for her. They wanted to support her and were afraid that Jiang Ruan's self-esteem would be damaged, so they had to comfort her. However, seeing Jiang Ruan's appearance, she recalled her life experience of her mother's neglect since childhood, and her sympathy for her became deeper.

Jiang Ruan didn't care about the other three people looking at her, and calmly returned to the house with Luzhu. On the way back to the house, Luzhu asked: "Miss, do you really not buy anything?"

"Where is the money?" Jiang Ruan said the same thing: "Now that you are penniless, buying some cheap items will make you laugh."

"Miss shouldn't have bought so much old grain, at least half of it." Luzhu curled his lips, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and said, "It's strange that the rain has not stopped for a long time, and it has been falling for more than ten days." She thought for a while and said, "I thought to myself, it would be great if the rain kept going. The old grain bought by the girl would definitely make a fortune by selling it. But in this case, there will be more refugees in the capital." Luzhu frowned: "It's really embarrassing."

Jiang Ruan laughed in her heart. She didn't plan to sell the Chenliang at all. Luzhu's wish to make money was probably going to fail. However, Jiang Ruan did not plan to tell Luzhu about this for the time being. She said: "I don't have any gifts for the old lady's birthday party. Huijue is the best gift."

Dew rolled her eyes and laughed: "Miss is right. This gift is bigger than anything else. I can't wait for that day to arrive."

When the two returned to the mansion, the servants in the mansion saw that Jiang Ruan had returned empty-handed, so they went to Yanhuayuan to report the matter. Jiang Susudao was talking to Xia Yan, and when they heard the matter, he said, "He is just a pauper, and he must have no money to buy things."

Xia Yan lit her forehead: "No matter what, you have to finish writing a hundred birthday words well. This time you will be happy with your grandmother's favor, and your father will feel more at ease."

"I know." Jiang Susu was a little impatient: "I just don't know what Jiang Ruan gave me. If I didn't prepare anything, there would be a good show."

Xia Yan smiled: "No matter what gift she prepares or what effort she has put in, it is impossible to win the favor of the old lady."

"Why?" Jiang Susu asked.

"Who would like a lonely star in Tiansha?" A trace of sinister flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. Besides, Mrs. Jiang has always believed in ghosts and gods, and he has to pay a lot of incense money every year. Such people are extremely taboo about ghosts and gods. Especially when they come in Jiang's mansion, they have been in trouble again and again. Even if Jiang Quan is not Mrs. Jiang's own son, he has been sincere for so many years. As the old lady of Jiang's mansion, it is even more impossible for him to sit idly by the Jiang's mansion to see that the Jiang's mansion is in danger of disaster. Jiang Ruan must have been doomed this time.

Jiang Susu looked at Xia Yan's expression and guessed something in her heart. She asked tentatively: "Mom, have you got a solution?"

Xia Yan kindly hugged her in his arms and touched her head: "You just need to know that everything my mother does is for you and Chao'er, just don't let her down."

Jiang Susu snuggled in Xia Yan's arms, her beautiful eyes wide open, and the hatred in it was chilling. She said, "I know, mother, on the day of my grandmother's birthday party, I can't wait to wait for it to arrive."

Ten days passed quickly. Over the past period of time, the Jiang family had been very peaceful, as if the previous things had exhausted all the bad luck, and gradually stabilized after the storm.

The only bad thing is that the frequent incidents in the Jiang family some time ago have caused huge bank expenses in the mansion. Now it is difficult to get congested. Mrs. Jiang, the housekeeper, proposed to save money. If the servants want to coax it, they reduced the monthly silver of several ladies by more than half.

Jiang Susu and Jiang Li naturally didn't care about the silver for a few months, and there were occasional subsidies from Jiang Quan on weekdays. However, Jiang Dan and Jiang Ruan had no relatives to give gifts to subsidize their family income. The maids and mothers in their yard also had to give rewards on weekdays, so they lived a very difficult life.

The rain continued to fall. Ruan Ju had just made a temporary vacant house. The roof was disrepaired and began to leak. The rain dripped into the house along the hole on the roof. The house was so wet. Dewdrops found an iron bucket from outside and put it in the hole. Although it would not drip everywhere for the time being, the cold wind blew from the hole was enough to make several people feel cold.

Bai Zhi walked in and said, "I asked Mrs. Song a few times and asked her how many people she had to find to repair the roof for the girl. The woman said that the mansion was busy with the old lady's birthday party recently, and she couldn't get enough time. Today is a birthday party, and I think it's almost done, but the woman still refused." Even though Bai Zhi has always had a good temper, she couldn't help but feel a little angry when she talked about this.
