Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain
Chapter 21 Meeting Jiang Zhizhou for the First Time
It was late at night, and there were only a few dim lights left in the courtyard, illuminating a small world under the corridor.
"I don't know if they have boarded the ship yet."
The eldest princess looked far and wide, with a sigh.
"You don't have to worry. The county master has two thousand soldiers and horses. No one can hurt her." Aunt Gui put a cloak on her and comforted her in a low voice, "Besides, the county master has a distinguished status.
, no matter how bold Jiang Zhizhou is, he would not dare to attack the county lord."
The eldest princess smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I'm not worried about her and Jiang Zhizhou, I'm worried about..."
When her words came to her lips, they turned into a sigh.
Having served the eldest princess closely for decades, Aunt Gui understood everything and immediately comforted her: "The county master is cute and knows how to advance and retreat. He will definitely not anger Guard Xie."
Speaking of this, she covered her lips and smiled and said: "Besides, you have watched Guard Xie grow up, when did you see him being so patient with the little girl? In addition to looking at your face, Guard Xie must be trying to please the county master.
, and he is not completely unmoved.”
Aunt Gui's words greatly comforted the eldest princess's restless heart.
She nodded slightly, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said softly: "I don't ask for much, I just hope that Xie Yan can look out for my sake and treat Ning'er well."
The night was as cold as water, and a trace of worry appeared on the eldest princess's usually indifferent face.
"The emperor was greedy for beauty, and his relatives were in power. If things went on like this, the country would not be in charge. Even though King Duan had the talent to govern, he was ruthless and did not know how to restrain his subordinates. Now hidden dangers are gradually emerging in the four places, and the Yan Kingdom is eyeing..."
At this point, she already tightened her grip on the railing.
She held military power, which allowed her to secure her position as the eldest princess, but it also brought hidden dangers. She was not trusted by the emperor, and her slightest move would arouse suspicion.
Even if you want to protect the people you care about, you have to be careful.
"Princess, there are some things that you can't rush, so why not take a rest early." Aunt Gui said distressedly, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, just let them go. Besides, there are old generals and great generals here, and the Pei family
It can’t fall down.”
"No." The eldest princess shook her head slowly, "If what Ning'er said is true... Aunt Gui, tell me, how can Gu Zhiyuan, a fifth-grade official, hide this from me?
?”
The eldest princess's words immediately alerted Aunt Gui: "You mean... there is someone helping Gu Zhiyuan behind him?"
"Of course!" The eldest princess sneered, "I just don't know if the person who helped him is the one!"
"Back then, Jiayang was not yet married, and people who coveted the power of the Pei family were like crucian carp crossing the river. How could he want to watch the Pei family join forces with other aristocratic families?" The more the eldest princess spoke, the colder in her eyes became more obvious.
, "At this time, isn't Gu Zhiyuan, who has a good appearance that pleases Jiayang and comes from a poor family, the best candidate?"
"When I was still investigating Gu Zhiyuan, the imperial edict granting marriage came. Now that I think about it, the edict came a little too fast!"
"And over the years, Gu Zhiyuan has been secretly living under my nose, having children with his wife, raising his daughter under my nose, and giving all Ning'er's things to the daughter born from his wife! All these things
, I am undoubtedly not trampling on the dignity of the Pei family and Jiayang! When I find out who is behind Gu Zhiyuan, I will make sure that person pays with blood!"
Aunt Gui kept silent and did not dare to speak.
Princess Jiayang was the child of the eldest princess who narrowly escaped death. She was the most favored by the eldest princess. If that person really knew Gu Zhiyuan's true identity and still gave them a marriage, this intention... could not be described as sinister.
!
After a while, the eldest princess sighed quietly: "It's late at night, it's time to rest."
…
After going all the way down the canal, we arrived in Jiangning in just two days.
As the largest state capital in the south of the Yangtze River, everywhere you look is a bustling and bustling scene.
The huge ship parked on the shore attracted many eyes.
Gu Ning wore a beaded hairpin on her head and swayed. As she moved lightly, her exquisite and gorgeous pomegranate skirt rose and fell.
It was obviously an extremely complicated outfit, but her extremely bright face was able to hold up these gorgeous outfits, shining brightly in the sun, making it almost impossible to take one's eyes away.
"This must be the famous Changning County Lord in the capital!"
"It's so pompous and flamboyant! It's so... so beautiful!"
Gu Ning could naturally hear these words in his ears.
But there was no hint of displeasure on her face. Instead, she straightened her hairpins, held her head high, and strode to the deck, glancing condescendingly at the people below.
Since she wanted to secretly rescue the victimized women, she naturally had to be extremely public and focus everyone's attention on herself, so that it would be easier for the Xie Banquet to be done.
Gu Ning lazily raised her hand, pointed at the woman who just praised her beauty, and said loudly: "Reward."
The maid next to her was stunned, but Chunyu took a few purses specially given to people and asked the imperial guards to give them to the woman.
As soon as this move came out, everyone was excited.
"The Lord of Changning County is just like an earthly fairy!"
"The county magistrate is the most beautiful person I have ever seen!"
Words like this never stop ringing in my ears.
Gu Ning raised his hand: "Continue to reward."
The maids around her, led by Chunyu, rewarded those who praised Gu Ning, and the excitement subsided a little.
In an alley not far away, a woman hummed softly and lowered the car curtain.
"Is this the Lord of Changning County? He is so stupid! What is the use of these compliments bought with money?"
The maid who was rubbing her feet responded repeatedly: "That's right! What the Lord of Changning County did was really embarrassing! If she didn't have the support of the Pei family behind her, how could His Highness Duan Wang like her? You, girl, are the best match for His Highness.
!”
"But I'm in a land of fireworks... This body is no longer clean..." The woman lowered her eyes, and two traces of tears slowly slipped down.
The maid was about to persuade her, but she saw her tightening the handkerchief and veins appeared on the back of her hands.
I could only hear her saying word by word: "But such a stupid woman is not worthy of His Highness! Your Highness cannot let go of this piece of shit, so why don't you let me take action and do it for Your Highness!"
"Can……"
Facing these cruel eyes, the maid shuddered and quickly closed her mouth.
On the pier, Jiang Zhizhou and several government officials were surrounded by the crowd, looking extremely ugly.
But in full view of the public, he did not dare to send people to drive these people away, so he had to passively endure the screams one after another.
Passing through the excited crowd and looking at Gu Ning, who was extraordinarily leisurely on the deck, Jiang Zhizhou felt itchy with hatred.
Idiot! You don’t know how to restrain yourself at all! If today’s incident is known to the group of people at Yushitai, there must be several more impeachment tricks! The Pei family actually lets her do whatever she wants!
The crowd was crowded, everyone wanted to earn money for free, and Jiang Zhizhou, a man wearing an official hat, could no longer be seen in his eyes.
When Jiang Zhizhou saw Gu Ning again, his hair was disheveled and even his official hat was gone.
"The county master's move is very inappropriate!" Jiang Zhizhou opened his mouth and said when he saw Gu Ning, "You are the future Princess Duan. If this move is spread to the court, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of Prince Duan."
Gu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Who are you? Do you dare to come and teach me a lesson?"
Jiang Zhizhou opened his mouth, but felt a chill on the top of his head.
The next moment, his sleeve was pulled, and a government official presented the crushed official hat in front of him.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhizhou was so angry that his beard stood straight up.
"So you are Jiang Zhizhou." Gu Ning covered her mouth in surprise, "Why do you look like this?"
Jiang Zhizhou pointed at Gu Ning and buzzed his mouth a few times, but he only saw Gu Ning's back as he left.
Several groups of forbidden troops quickly followed up, covering Gu Ning's figure tightly, giving him no chance to speak.
"My lord, your highness wrote a letter instructing you to entertain the county master!"
Hearing the words of the people around him, Jiang Zhizhou took a deep breath, hurriedly put on his official hat, and ran to Gu Ning's side, dragging his fat body and panting every step of the way.
"I've met the county lord!" He bowed deeply to Gu Ning.
Gu Ning glanced at him lightly and said with a smile: "It turns out that Jiang Zhizhou still knows etiquette. Just now you scolded me so hard that I thought you were my uncle!"
The original owner loved Chu Yunyi so much that people around Chu Yunyi never took her seriously.
If Jiang Zhizhou dared to teach her like this today, he must have done such things in the capital before.
No matter what happened with Qin Yu or not, she would never let Jiang Zhizhou go so easily.
Jiang Zhizhou has always been able to bend and stretch, so he patted his mouth and said with a flattering smile: "What are you talking about, the county master? I am just a small magistrate, how can I dare to compare with General Pei?"
"It is true that he is not worthy." Gu Ning looked at him up and down and said very seriously, "The appearance is not worthy, and the talent is even more unworthy!"
Jiang Zhizhou's smile froze, and he quickly reacted and continued to belittle himself: "The county master is absolutely right, your subordinates have always been self-aware!"
"You have just arrived in Jiangning. You probably haven't settled in a place yet, so why not go to the other courtyard prepared by Xiaguan..."
"OK."
Gu Ning agreed very readily this time.
She got on the carriage and commanded Jiang Zhizhou very naturally: "Please Sir Jiang to lead the way. I have been tired from traveling all the way and I need a rest badly."
Jiang Zhizhou didn't respond, so he got on the small sedan next to him and went ahead to clear the way for Gu Ning.
Looking at the swaying sedan and the effort, Gu Ning frowned and looked unhappy.
"Jiang Zhizhou, don't you have a young man in your house?" Gu Ning sneered, "You actually let eight sedan bearers carry you away! I have never seen anyone in the capital with such a grand display as you, not even the emperor's uncle's
The chariot is only carried by four bearers."
The cold sweat on Jiang Zhizhou's back suddenly fell down, and he rolled out and ran out.
"Excuse me, Lord County! Forgive me, Lord County!" He knelt on the ground and kept defending, "It's true that the old horses in the mansion are useless, and the new horses have not arrived yet, so we have to hire a sedan chair.
My husband is carrying me! You also know that with my size, four sedan bearers may not be able to lift me!"
Gu Ning snorted coldly, but did not give up: "Jiangning is so prosperous, can't it even take care of Zhizhou's horses?"
