After the emperor gave the title of Marquis of Honor to Yang Ning, all people in the mansion were cheerful. Gu Qinghan was prepared and told the accountant to reward everybody with some money.
After returning to the main hall, Yang Ning saw that the two boxes rewarded by the emperor were still on the table, so he asked Gu Qinghan with a smile, “Aunt, what do you think is inside? The old eunuch said that they are treasures, and they must be priceless. If we are short of money, we can sell them and get a lot of money.”
Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes at Yang Ning and responded crossly, “These were rewarded by His Majesty. Do you want to sell them? You can’t sell the gifts from His Majesty even if we run out of food, not to mention that our family won’t be so poor. Some people keep an eye on you and wait for you to make a mistake so they can find the evidence against you. If you sell the gifts from His Majesty, won’t you give others a chance to find fault with you?
In no time, he noticed that it was quiet in the room and something was put in his mouth. At the moment, there was something wrong with his taste bud, and he couldn’t sense whether it was sour, sweet, bitter or hot.He just felt that he began to fall unconscious and get exhausted. Then he fell asleep unconsciously.When he woke up, he felt his body weak and soft, but he didn’t feel numb and stiff anymore. He opened his eyes, to see that Gu Qinghan sat in tears next to him. Seeing that he woke up, she looked happy on her beautiful and tearful face instantly and called, “Ning, are…you awake?”Yang Ning struggled to get up, while Gu Qinghan hurriedly pressed his chest and said, “Don’t move.” Then she looked back. “Miss Tang, come and check him.”Tang Nuo walked over and reached out to press Yang Ning’s pulse. Then she withdrew her hand soon and stated, “He is fine now.”“Aunt, how long have I been asleep?” Yang Ning felt h
At the sight of Duan Canghai’s expression, Yang Ning knew that Qiu Qianyi was awesome indeed.“It appears that you really know the poison king in Nine Creek.” Yang Ning sighed. “The one who poisoned me this time must be a disciple of the poison king.”Duan Canghai was shocked. “My Lord, are you sure that it is a disciple of the poison king?” He frowned. “It’s difficult to handle this matter.”Gu Qinghan furrowed her brows. “Canghai, who is the poison king in Nine Creek?”“He is one of the White Miao people in Ba Shu,” Duan Canghai explained. “My Lady, you know that there are many members of minorities in Ba Shu. Among a lot of minorities, the Miao people are the most powerful. It’s said that the Miao people live in seventy-two caves, which are located among the mountains and rivers in Ba Shu. King Shu Li Hongxin is influential in the west region, but he mainly appeases the Miao people and doesn’t dare to offend them randomly.”
Mr. Song’s attitude was totally different from the other day. Yang Ning didn’t need to ask and knew that Tang Nuo’s medicinal powder must be effective.“Mr. Song, don’t say that.” Tang Nuo was still calm as always. “Is the child out of danger?”“He is more than out of danger. He has fully recovered and nobody can see that he was burnt by burning oil.” Mr. Song showed a thumbs-up sign and praised, “Miss Tang, it really widened my horizon.”“Mr. Song, now you know what is called great master, right?” Yang Ning laughed loudly. “I found such an assistant for you. What do you think about her?”“I dare not,” Mr. Song replied immediately. “My Lord, Miss Tang can bring a patient back to life, and I can’t be put on a par with her.” He sighed and then added, “I am aged. In fact…I am too conceited sometimes. Please allow me to resign. Here…”“Mr. Song, don’t get me wrong,” Yang Ning stated at once. “Do you think that I told Miss
The beggar asked in a hurry, “Doctor, can…it be healed?”“Er…” Mr. Huang hesitated for a moment and then said, “I’ll make a prescription for you. After you buy the medicinal materials, have a try first. If he doesn’t get better in three days, you should see other doctors.” He turned around and made a prescription. Then he gave it to the beggar. “Go to buy medicinal materials.”The beggar grabbed the prescription. He was absent-minded for a while and then asked pitifully, “Doctor, how much…are these medicinal materials?”Mr. Huang replied, “They are two kinds of medicine, to be applied externally and taken orally, as his internal organs are damaged. About two taels of silver. I treat him for free as it appears that you don’t have money, but I am not in charge of the pharmacy. I can’t meddle when you buy medicinal materials.”The beggar asked helplessly, “Sir, can you give medicinal materials to me first? When I…”Mr. Hu
Thousands of lights were lit on the Qinhuai River, like stars, as if the Milky Way in the sky also missed the bustling secular world and flowed into the Qinhuai River, driving away the loneliness of the bright moon through the ages.Yuan Rong got up and walked to the side of the boat. Yang Ning involuntarily followed him to the side. Seeing that Yuan Rong looked into the distance in the east, Yang Ning followed his eyes and looked in that direction, to see something with bright lights in the distance. It was a huge gaily-painted pleasure-boat, which was rare with five floors. The lights around the pleasure-boat were bright, as if it were in the daytime. It was in majestic splendor.“That is the boat king.” Yuan Rong laughed. “It is the feast that I will invite you to tonight.”“Boat king?”Pearl also came near them and explained, “Before the Spring Festival every year, there is a competition to select the beauty queen. This is an a
There was fear in Pearl’s eyes, but she still walked over slowly. After she took only two steps, she felt that her wrist was tight. She was surprised and lowered her head, to see that Yang Ning grasped her wrist.When Pearl was about to speak, Yang Ning stated with a smile, “Pearl, I want to ask how you made this cake. It’s really delicious and looks nice. If you can, please tell me the way to make it. I will have a try by myself later.”Pearl was stunned as she hadn’t expected that Yang Ning would care about how to make the cake at this hour, so she didn’t know how to answer him.The man with a prominent nose frowned and looked Yang Ning up and down. Then he sneered. “Yo, bitch, you even provide for a toy boy? No wonder you didn’t set out after so long.”Yang Ning turned his head and looked at the man. Then he waved his hand and smiled. “Come over. I have something to ask you.”The man stated with disdain, “Who are yo
The person who walked out of the staircase was not big or tall, and he was even thin, but his footsteps were steady. Yang Ning knew that this man was powerful in martial arts at a glance.The man was about forty-five or forty-six years ago, dressed in a black cotton robe, with a hat made of fox fur. He stood at the staircase and looked around. The man with a prominent nose lying on the floor didn’t dare to move a bit, yet he got up after seeing the comer and walked forward, greeting, “Manager, this guy beat us…”“Clap!”Before the man with a prominent nose finished his words, he was slapped so hard that half of his face was swollen in an instant.“Manager…”The man was shocked and didn’t understand why he was slapped.The middle-aged man said coldly, “I told you to invite Pearl, but what did you do? Since there are guests here, you should discuss with them. Why did you offend them?”“Manager…”
Yuan Rong clenched his fists and said angrily, “That beast. I…I am going to see him.” He got up and prepared to leave, but after he took only a few steps, Yang Ning asked impassively, “Who are you going to see? Ding Yitu? Are you planning to fight against him or reason with him?”“I…”Yang Ning sneered. “You are a young master in the mansion of the minister in the Ministry of Rites, yet you want to fight against the manager of the Rising Sun Escort Agency. What can you do even if you win, not to mention whether you have the ability?”Yuan Rong was stunned.Yang Ning stated slowly, “You know more about Ding Yitu’s strength than me. This is a battle and the victory can’t be decided after only one fight.” He smiled faintly and added, “Yuan Rong, I will say something that you don’t want to hear. You, a young master in the mansion of the minister in the Ministry of Rites, probably can’t compare with the manager of the Rising Sun Escort
