Chapter 159 Gaining the Favor of Hades
County Magistrate Cui did not get what he wanted, and finally left angrily.
However, Hades took this opportunity to say that he would send Jiang Yutong back home.
Jiang Yutong couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.
Hades invited Jiang Yutong to ride in the same carriage. Hades' carriage was not a real carriage, but rather a sedan chair, and it was not too intimate. At this moment, Hades and Jiang Yutong were chatting in the carriage, and Hades' words always made Jiang Yutong laugh. Jiang Yutong did not expect that Hades was such a witty and humorous person.
He does not have the condescending attitude of a prince, but is quite approachable, and what he says is very profound, which is a rare trait.
Seeing Jiang Yutong's happy smile, Xiao Yifeng heaved a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be such an interesting person. I really regret that we met too late."
Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Your Highness is very approachable."
"Miss Jiang is so kind-hearted, I'm sure she and my sister will be able to chat well. I'll introduce you two to each other someday. If possible, I really want to make friends with Miss Jiang."
After saying this, Hades seemed a little embarrassed and said, "It seems that no one around me dares to tell me the truth. It's rare to meet someone as sincere as Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yutong thought about it and it made sense. The class system is strict nowadays. A prince can decide a person's life or death. Who dares not to flatter him?
Jiang Yutong thought that if she could catch the prince's eye, it would only benefit her, but she decided not to just be friends. She was afraid that if this friend got upset one day, her head would be in danger. She just smiled and said, "Your Highness is a noble man, how dare I call you my friend? But if your Highness doesn't mind, I can always invite you to chat."
When Jiang Yutong heard her mention Princess Changning, she immediately responded, "I've crossed paths with Princess Changning a few times before. Last time, thanks to the Princess's help, I was supposed to visit her, but never had the chance."
"That's easy. I'll ask Changning to send you an invitation."
The two of them chatted for a long time. Xiao Yifeng specially asked the carriage to make a circle and personally sent Jiang Yutong to Shilin Street.
Jiang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief only after respectfully seeing off Hades.
Soon, everyone in Yinbai County knew that Jiang Yutong had caught the eye of Hades.
Not long after Jiang Yutong returned to the mansion, Hades' reward arrived with great fanfare, making a long circle around Yinbai County, as if he was afraid that others would not know about it.
Jiang Yutong stood in the yard with her smile frozen on her face. The pieces of silk and satin, and the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry almost took up half of the yard. Fortunately, the silver was not delivered in boxes, but in a thick stack of banknotes.
The eunuch who delivered the gift read out the list for a long time. When he finally finished, he cleared his throat and said, "Congratulations, Miss Jiang."
This was the first time Jiang Yutong had seen a true eunuch. He looked just a little softer than an average man, and his voice was a little sharper.
It was a great honor to receive a reward from Hades. Jiang Yutong took the list and asked Dongmei to bring some tea. "Everyone has worked hard. Have some tea to moisten your mouth."
Dongmei carefully stuffed the purse containing small change into the official's hand, and the eunuch accepted it with a smile.
"Then I won't bother Miss Jiang anymore."
After saying that, he took the people away.
After everyone left, Dongmei looked at the things covering half of the yard and said in amazement, "I didn't expect Hades to be so generous. These things must be worth a lot of money."
Jiang Yutong didn't expect that Pluto would have so many gifts, and thought it was just a token of his appreciation.
Jiang Yutong casually picked up a box of jewelry and took a look at it. Unexpectedly, it was very exquisite. This set alone was worth a lot of money. Jiang Yutong just thought that Pluto was a connoisseur of value, and her grenade recipe was indeed priceless.
Jiang Yutong accepted it with peace of mind.
After this operation, it was confirmed that Jiang Yutong had won the favor of Hades, and those who originally wanted to take over Roufufang also gave up the idea.
Jiang Yuwen in the yard also heard the noise. He slowly walked out after the eunuch who delivered the gift left. After a period of rest, Jiang Yuwen had almost recovered.
He looked at the rewards suspiciously and asked, "What great thing did you do, sister, that the prince sent so many things?"
Jiang Yutong saw Jiang Yuwen and smiled, "I sent a prescription to the prince."
At this time, County Magistrate Cui's reward arrived. It was in the form of silver. Boxes of silver were placed in the yard, which was very eye-catching.
Jiang Yutong's eyes lit up. This was the first time she saw so much silver. It was even more shocking to see the silver piled up here. The same amount of silver was just a little less interesting with the banknotes.
After sending off the gift-givers, Jiang Yutong touched the boxes of silver, feeling reluctant to let go. "Put them all away."
Dongmei ordered someone to deliver the things to the warehouse.
Jiang Yuwen thought about what Jiang Yutong hadn't finished saying just now, "What kind of recipe did you send? Not only did the prince send a reward, but even the county magistrate sent one."
Jiang Yutong thought that her brother would eventually go to the battlefield, so she pulled him into the study and took out a few grenades. "Brother, this is a very powerful weapon. Pull the string and it will explode in an instant. It's very powerful. Keep it with you for self-defense."
Jiang Yuwen looked at the black object in front of him, a little bit unbelieving, "So, you gave this thing to the prince?"
Jiang Yutong nodded, "Be sure to use it with caution."
Jiang Yutong was worried so he explained it again, wrote a note on how to use it and save it, and gave it to Jiang Yuwen.
Jiang Yuwen picked up the note and read it carefully.
At the Ye family, Ning Zhengqing was sitting upright in the living room of the Ye family.
Master Ye sat at the head of the table and said amiably, "I'm sorry for worrying you about Yun'er's situation this time. Yun'er has returned safely. I know you've been worried for a long time, so I specially invited you to our home for a simple meal."
It was Ning Zhengqing or Ye Jingming who told him that Ye Xiujun was found. At that time, Ye Jingming did not elaborate, only saying that Ye Xiujun fainted in the carriage and was rescued by a farmer. The Ye family was notified only after Ye Xiujun woke up the next day.
Ning Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then Ye Jingming continued, "My father specially invited you to his house for a simple meal to express his gratitude."
Ning Zhengqing went there happily. Seeing Ning Zhengqing's happy look, Ye Jingming felt a little unwilling for his friend, but then he thought of his sister and the many instructions and warnings his family had given him, and finally he agreed with the Ye family.
Finally, Master Ye waved his hand and said, "It's still early, Jingming, take Zhengqing for a walk."
Ye Jingming knew that this meant he was asked to take Ning Zhengqing to see Ye Xiujun. Ye Jingming nodded and led Ning Zhengqing to the garden.
