A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

397 Gift

“Yueyue, why are they conferring titles to us?” Old Master Ning asked.

Ning Yue raised her eyebrows. She didn’t know either. Perhaps it was because of her, but she didn’t say anything. She only said to Old Master Ning, “I don’t know the crown prince’s intentions either.”

Since the crown prince had given her such a big gift, she had to give him a congratulatory gift to celebrate his ascension to the throne.

She searched the space for a long time before she found a kitchen knife without patterns and a large bone.

She wrapped the kitchen knife and big bone and went to look for Jiang Ying to discuss the gift for the crown prince.

At first, Jiang Ying was still a little confused. “Why did Yueyue suddenly want to give a big congratulatory gift to Brother Crown Prince?”

“I learned from the chief eunuch that the crown prince will confer a title to my grandfather when he ascends the throne. Moreover, my uncle can inherit the title.”

Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue in shock. “Brother Crown Prince said that?”

He had heard about this from the crown prince, but he did not expect the crown prince to directly confer a title to Old Master Ning.

Soon, Jiang Ying calmed down. He smiled at Ning Yue and said, “You deserve it.”

Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. “What do you mean by that? I did a small business with him and didn’t make any special contributions. I feel a little bad accepting the crown prince’s gift.”

After a pause, Ning Yue continued, “That’s why I came to discuss with you about the congratulatory gift to give to the crown prince.”

She had given the crown prince the right to sell the medicinal makeup last time, but this was far from enough.

She did have a plan, but she had thought that she would think of a way to do it when her business grew and stabilized. But now it seemed that this matter would have to be put on the agenda.

“Do you have any thoughts?” Jiang Ying asked her.

Ning Yue thought for a moment and told Jiang Ying a bold idea, scaring him so much that he shivered.

“I brought something. Take a look first. Tell me your opinion after you see it,” Ning Yue said as she took out the knife she had found in the space.

Jiang Ying’s eyes lit up as he took the knife. It was heavier than he had thought, and the blade was very thin. He wanted to try it.

“I brought a bone over too. Try it with this knife.” Ning Yue asked Uncle Su to go to the kitchen to find a cutting board.

Uncle Su was still very puzzled. Was the future heiress planning to cook in the hall? Wouldn’t oil and smoke fill the entire hall? Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to be inside?

Although he was puzzled, Uncle Su still dutifully asked the servant to bring the cutting board to Ning Yue.

The cutting board in ancient times was very heavy. It had to be carried by two people together to move it.

Two servants placed the chopping board in front of Jiang Ying and Ning Yue. Ning Yue asked them to go down first and told Uncle Su, “No matter who it is, don’t let the other party approach this place.”

This was because this congratulatory gift was not only important to the crown prince, but also to the entire country. No one could eavesdrop.

If word got out, it might be a huge blow to the Great Yun Nation.

When everyone went out later, Jiang Ying took the knife and slashed at the bone. He thought that cutting the bone would break the knife.

What he didn’t expect was that as soon as the knife fell, the bone was cut in half. Jiang Ying looked at the severed bone in a daze and was delighted.

“Yueyue, which ironsmith made this knife?” he asked.

Ning Yue smiled. “If I say that the iron of the kitchen knife itself is so hard that it has nothing to do with the ironsmith, what do you think?”

When Jiang Ying heard this, he was even more surprised. He looked at Ning Yue in disbelief. “Is there such hard iron in this world?”

In this era, although ironware was common in every family, iron was controlled by the Imperial Court.

Whoever wanted to buy it had to register their purchase very strictly. They had to buy it in a quantitative manner.

The fact that the Imperial Court’s control was so strict meant that iron was very important to the country. After all, this was the era of cold weapons. Iron could be used to make weapons, so it was reasonable for the Imperial Court to control iron.

“Of course. It’s a smelting method,” Ning Yue said.

When Jiang Ying heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Ning Yue solemnly. “Yueyue, you didn’t tell anyone about this, right?”

“No, why?” Ning Yue looked at Jiang Ying in confusion.
