Chapter 65 The Dowry Left for You
Jiang Nianwei's heart tightened. She had tried to persuade him many times, but Ah Zhao simply didn't listen and insisted on insisting. She was afraid that the wounds on his body would be worsened by being soaked in sea water.
"Brother, please carry him back home first."
Jiang Lanxu nodded, "Yeah."
Jiang Siyu brought her sister back with a gloomy face. Just as she was about to say hello, she saw the unconscious A Zhao. He was usually so arrogant, but now his face was pale. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did he become like this?"
Jiang Nianwei said hurriedly, "His wound has worsened. Siyu, go tell Aunt Liu quickly and ask her to kill a hen and stew a pot of chicken soup."
Jiang Siyu immediately responded: "Well, I'll go right away."
Ah Jie usually treasures her egg-laying hens the most, but today she wants to kill the hens? It seems that Ah Zhao's situation is really not optimistic.
At this time, she didn't care whether Ah Zhao was clean or not. She just put him on the bed and tore his clothes to check his wound.
The salty taste of the sea water corroded the wound, and the pain was like a knife cutting, but this guy didn't say a word and persisted in the sea for a whole day.
She carefully disinfected his wound, applied herbal medicine and bandaged it again.
She touched his hot forehead, and the heat burned her palms like a raging fire, but also burned her heart.
Thinking back to the moment when he was rescued from the beach, it seemed to be the same scene.
At this moment, Jiang Nianwei's mood changed slightly. As a doctor, she was calm and only wanted to cure diseases and save lives. But at this moment, she felt a little distressed and had complicated personal emotions.
Jiang Nianwei stuffed a fever-reducing and pain-relieving pill into his mouth. He frowned slightly, as if he felt the bitterness of the medicine.
Even with a high fever, he was still murmuring, "Sanniang, Sanniang... we have found the boxes."
The boxes have been found, but just in case, some follow-up work needs to be done.
While Ah Zhao was in a daze, he accidentally touched her hand, and then he held it tightly, refusing to let go.
Jiang Nianwei felt the heat in that palm and instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but when she saw Ah Zhao's pale and pitiful face, the softness in her heart was touched.
She sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness: "Forget it, you are weak and sick at the moment, I will indulge you this time."
After the chicken soup was cooked and cooled, she fed it into Ah Zhao's mouth spoonful by spoonful. She had never been seen treating a stranger with such patience.
After asking Jiang Lanxu to change him into clean clothes, she told Taozhi to take good care of A Zhao.
"My eldest brother and I still have some things to deal with. During this time, you and Chunyu will take turns to look after him until I come back."
Taozhi agreed immediately, "Don't worry, young lady."
The two of them came to the cave where the boxes were hidden. Since there were no outsiders here, Jiang Nianwei opened the boxes one by one and put all the gold, silver and jewelry into the space.
Jiang Nianwei took a deep breath and explained, "If the people who want to get these treasures can't salvage the boxes, they will definitely continue to look for them. We can fill these empty boxes with stones and throw them back into the sea near Xizhou Island. In this way, even if they find the boxes, they will not suspect this place..."
Jiang Lanxu nodded slightly after hearing this, "You have thought it through very carefully. This method is very good. Let's act according to this plan."
The two of them filled the boxes with stones, and Jiang Nianwei put them into the space. After disguising themselves, they arrived near Xizhou Island late at night. Jiang Nianwei jumped into the sea and threw all the boxes into the sea. Only then did she climb onto the boat with peace of mind.
At this moment, the night was as dark as ink, with only faint lights flickering on the river.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers are still carrying out the salvage work in a tense and orderly manner.
Jiang Lanxu suddenly lowered his voice and shouted anxiously: "Attention, here, there seems to be abnormal signs here!"
Following his call, the other ships gathered around and the two men immediately sailed away.
A moment later, a burst of excited cheers came from behind, "There really is a box, we have salvaged treasure!"
Jiang Nianwei stood at the bow, looking at the two tall and luxurious warships in front. They now only have a few shabby fishing boats. Wouldn't it be better if they could add a few warships?
Since we are here now, we might as well find a way to catch more boats.
She turned her head and talked to Jiang Lanxu, "Brother, what do you think of this warship?"
Jiang Lanxu understood her intention instantly, "We have to find a way to take this warship away quietly. Can the space accommodate this huge thing?"
"It should be okay."
This warship is majestic and magnificent, with twenty-four gun mounts in total. It is undoubtedly the best among the Great Zhou’s naval forces.
When the first heavy box was salvaged ashore by everyone, all the officers and soldiers focused their attention on the treasure chest, and no one noticed the abnormality on the other side.
At this moment, Jiang Nianwei quietly approached the warship and took the opportunity to put the warship into the space.
There was a cargo ship full of supplies not far away, and Jiang Nianwei also put the cargo ship into the space in an orderly manner.
Before those people noticed anything unusual, the two of them sneaked away.
After doing all this, it was almost early morning.
The moment Jiang Nianwei stepped into the house, she caught a glimpse of Taozhi leaning in the corner with her eyelids slightly drooping.
He reached out and touched Ah Zhao's forehead again, and the fever had subsided.
She walked quietly to Taozhi's side and patted her shoulder gently, "Taozhi, you've worked hard, go and have a rest."
Taozhi was awakened and rubbed her sleepy eyes. Seeing that it was Jiang Nianwei, she stood up quickly and said, "Girl, you're back. I was just guarding here, and before I knew it, I..."
Her voice gradually trailed off and she seemed a little embarrassed.
Jiang Nianwei interrupted her, "I know, it's okay, go and rest now, I'm here."
Taozhi nodded gratefully and tiptoed out of the room.
Jiang Nianwei sat beside A Zhao's bed, looking at him quietly. He was completely different from his usual flamboyant appearance. Now he was unusually well-behaved.
Suddenly, Ah Zhao frowned, and he shouted unconsciously: "Mom, don't kill me..."
Kill him? Ah Zhao's mother actually wanted to kill him? I don't know what he had experienced before?
Jiang Nianwei took out a handkerchief carefully and wiped away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
He seemed to be awakened from a deep dream, opened his eyes alertly, and his gaze gradually focused in the blur, finally fixing on the gentle and familiar face beside him.
He was slightly startled, then showed a little confusion: "Sanniang? Why am I here?"
Jiang Nianwei smiled gently, with some concern in her voice: "You were too tired yesterday, and your injuries worsened, and you fainted just like that. You've worked so hard, don't force yourself like this in the future."
"I feel much better now. I'll leave first. This seems to be your bed."
Ah Zhao tried to support his body, but was pushed back by Jiang Nianwei.
"Your body still needs to be recuperated, so you can rest here for the time being." Jiang Nianwei's voice was gentle, "The environment here is quiet and elegant, and no one will disturb you, which is perfect for you to recuperate. We can also take care of you at any time, so you don't have to worry."
His lips trembled. "This doesn't make sense."
Jiang Nianwei smiled slightly, "Don't forget, I have already accepted your betrothal gift. You are now my fiancé, and this is your home. There is no need to worry."
After saying that, she turned around and left lightly, leaving only one sentence: "I will go to cook porridge for you, you can rest assured."
Nanny Liu happened to come back at this time, with a smug smile on her face.
"Miss, come and have a look. Today a family in the village slaughtered a pig, and I went to buy some of your favorite ribs. The villagers don't like these parts very much, thinking that there is not much meat, so I bought them all. I plan to pickle the rest and make them into fresh and delicious ribs."
Jiang Nianwei looked at the fresh pork ribs and said happily, "That's right, I'll make some scallop and pork ribs porridge for Ah Zhao."
People in the village seldom kill pigs, and pork is a rare commodity. Those hard-working people have a special liking for slightly fatty pork due to the lack of oil and water in their daily diet.
As a result, those ribs with leaner meat often become "leftovers" that no one wants, but Jiang Nianwei loves to eat ribs, especially plum sauce ribs.
Jiang Nianwei took out some dried scallops from the jar, washed them, and poured them into the casserole together with the rice to soak for a while.
Chop the ribs into small pieces, blanch and wash them, then pour the processed ribs into the casserole, add shredded ginger and a little salt to season.
Aunt Liu couldn't help but joked, "Young lady can actually be so concerned sometimes."
Ah Zhao salvaged so much treasure as a "bride price" for her because of her injury. How could she not be more concerned?
In her spare time, Jiang Nianwei picked up the rice bran in the basin and sprinkled it on the chickens and ducks that were living a leisurely life.
Seeing this, Chunyu hurriedly snatched the basin from Jiang Nianwei's hand and said, "Girl, let me do these."
Jiang Nianwei shook her head. "We are all on this deserted island now, so there is no distinction between master and servant. Look, I have already fed them. Now, help me dry these herbs while I go hang out the clothes."
Ah Zhao just happened to see her hanging clothes. The early morning sun shone on her body, giving her a soft glow.
In a blink of an eye, the soup in the pot began to bubble and boil, and the rich aroma of meat wafted into the air, making people salivate.
Jiang Nianwei brought the cooled porridge to Ah Zhao and said, "I made this myself. Try it!"
Ah Zhao wanted to raise his hand to take the bowl, but a pain in his arm stopped him.
Jiang Nianwei immediately noticed his discomfort and said softly, "Your hands are inconvenient, let me feed you."
Before he could refuse, Jiang Nianwei had already scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to his mouth.
The taste was very delicious, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Delicious."
After he finished eating, Jiang Nianwei started to explain: "The box that was salvaged yesterday..."
Ah Zhao interrupted her and said, "I don't want any of those boxes. I said, this is a betrothal gift for you."
Jiang Nianwei politely declined, "That's too expensive. Besides, we're not really getting married. When you want to leave, I'll give you half. That half is what you deserve."
At this moment, Jiang Siyu's voice was heard outside the window, "Sister, come quickly! We found a nest of good things."
Jiang Nianwei turned and looked out the window, a puzzled look on her face: "What good thing makes you so excited?"
Seeing that her attention was no longer here, Ah Zhao gestured, "Go and have a look!"
Jiang Siyu held it carefully, "Sister, this egg fell from a tree. Unfortunately, two eggs were broken, leaving only this one intact. Do you know what bird's egg this is?"
Jiang Nianwei took a closer look and saw that the egg was about the same size as a chicken's egg, but its color was a light blue-gray. She shook her head, indicating that she couldn't tell the difference either.
Jiang Siyu couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, "I don't know if it can be hatched?"
Duan Yun said jokingly: "I think it's better to cook it and eat it to replenish the body."
Jiang Siyu said stubbornly: "I don't want it, I must hatch it!"
The mother bird probably wouldn't want the bird eggs that were tainted with human popularity, so Jiang Nianwei put them directly into the chicken coop, "Why not let the hen at home do it for us!"
……
At this moment, all the treasure chests in the sea have been salvaged ashore. Fandus' eyes are fixed on the patterns on those boxes. They are exactly the same as the details on the drawings given by the man in his hand.
He was very excited. If he found the treasure chest, he might be able to redeem himself for his crime and would not be punished by Lord Meng when he returned.
When he ordered his men to open the heavy boxes one by one, the scene before him was like a cold shower:
"Stones, how could it be stones? We wasted so many days here just for these?"
He didn't believe it, so he opened other boxes one after another. Without exception, they were all full of stones. Fan Dusi was so angry that he was fuming!
At this time, the guards brought more unfortunate news, "Sir, it's bad, we just found that a warship and a cargo ship full of supplies are missing!"
Last time the military camp was looted, this time even the ships were looted.
Disappearing out of thin air is really unbelievable.
Fan Dusi muttered to himself, "Could it be that there really is a ghost haunting this place?"
……
Meng Wanran followed the prince and slowly walked into the East Palace. This was her first time entering the imperial palace, and her ambition instantly became aroused.
Even if she left Qin Ziqian, the wealth and glory of the palace was still within her reach, and she still had the opportunity to become a superior person.
A few months ago, Meng Wanran became a singer in a wealthy businessman's house, but she was naturally not satisfied with that.
She used her knowledge from other worlds to create many amazing toys and exotic objects, which brought huge profits to the wealthy businessman and won his favor. The businessman adopted her as his daughter and kept her by his side.
But after all, she is not his biological daughter, and the rich businessman can only covet her ability to give advice. Meng Wanran knows that she cannot stay with him for long.
When she heard that the prince was going on a secret visit, a bold idea gradually emerged in her mind.
Apart from the emperor, the prince is the most honorable person in the Great Zhou. If one can stay by the prince's side, wouldn't everything be at one's fingertips?
When the prince and his guards got lost, Meng Wanran knew her chance had come.
But unexpectedly, a peasant girl got there first and rescued the injured prince.
The prince was still in a coma, so she hardened her heart and smashed the peasant girl to death with a stone. She buried her in the deep mountains and forests, pretending that she had saved the prince.
The crown prince doesn't have a principal wife yet, only a concubine. This time, she must become a real crown princess.
