After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Outside Mingxi's bedroom, Mrs. Yan and Mingjia sat opposite each other.

"Old lady, thank you Master Mingjia for your kindness! When I was down and out and had nowhere to go, it was the Xiao family who took me in!"

"Now, my old bones can still do something, and Young Master Mingxi also needs me!"

"In a few years, when Mr. Mingxi grows up and his wife comes to Beijing to preside over the young master's marriage, I will go to Beijing with him!"

Mrs. Yan actually considered whether to return to the capital. After all, the new emperor had succeeded to the throne, and no one dared to hurt her anymore.

Mingjia expressed support for Mrs. Yan's decision, so Mingjia felt more at ease by leaving Mingxi to Mrs. Yan's guidance.

"Mingxi is almost three years old. It's a critical time to learn the rules and cultivate a good temper. Mother-in-law Youyan will definitely make no mistakes!"

After Ming Jia finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Yan looking at her with a secretive look.

All right! When Mrs. Yan arrived in Dianzhou, Mingjia was only four years old!

Mingjia suddenly remembered the words Dong blurted out yesterday, "You can't blame her!" Mingjia quickly found a new topic.

"Grandma Yan, are there any old friends in Beijing who need Mingjia's help to visit?"

Mrs. Yan noticed Mingjia's discomfort and smiled kindly.

"The old lady really has an old friend in the capital. The last time I went to the capital was not the right time, so I didn't go to meet him!"

Mingjia and Mrs. Yan chatted for a long time. When Mingxi was about to wake up, Mingjia got up and returned to her yard.

As Mingjia walked, she was thinking about how to talk to Shuang'er. Shuang'er had been serving Mingjia for eight years since she had been in the house.

"Second Young Master, you are back!"

As soon as Mingjia walked through the corridor, two maids, Xinghua and Meihua, came to greet her.

"You two are on duty today!"

In fact, Mingjia wanted to ask Shuang'er why she wasn't there. Shuang'er couldn't trust other maids to do the usual errands of guarding the study.

"Well, Sister Shuang'er has a day off today, and she specially asked the two of us to stay here together!"

Mingjia was secretly relieved when she heard that Shuang'er was resting.

[Great, we can put it off until tomorrow! 】

Mingjia's mentality at this time was the same as when she was procrastinating on work in her previous life. It would take a day to delay!

……

Capital, Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

Yang Jinglan was embroidering handkerchiefs in her boudoir when she suddenly heard the voice of the maid in the yard.

"Mother Liu, why are you here today! But what are the old lady's orders?"

When Yang Jinglan heard that it was the mother-in-law beside her grandmother, she immediately put away her needlework and got up and left the house.

I saw Mother Liu smiling in a flattering manner, holding a small brocade box in both hands and handed it over.

"Old slave congratulates Miss Sixth!"

"The third master sent this back from Dianzhou. He said it was Miss Six's engagement token. Please keep it, Miss Six!"

Yang Jinglan was a little suspicious, but she still reached out to take the brocade box and opened it in front of all the servants.

Inside the brocade box is a jade pendant. Just putting it in the brocade box can confirm that it is a good piece of jade.

Yang Jinglan gently held the jade pendant in her hand. The jade pendant was warm and moist in the hand. It was ice-cold and moist under the sun. The carving and accessories were top-notch.

"Thank you for this trip, Mother Liu. Xi Qiu invites Mother Liu into the house for tea!"

Yang Jinglan only took a quick glance at the jade pendant and confirmed that the one sent by her mother Liu was intact and that it was indeed a good piece of jade before she became injured.

Yang Jinglan's movements were generous and decent, without any shyness or joy at seeing something good.

Mother Liu watched from the sidelines and secretly took note of the sixth girl's reaction. She wanted to go back and learn from the old lady.

Xi Qiu asked Mother Liu to go down and gave her a lot of benefits in private. Only then did she find out that the jade pendant had been delivered to the capital the day before yesterday.

"Miss, did the people from the main hospital choose today to send it over specifically?"

After sending Mother Liu away, Xi Qiu quickly shared what he had learned with his lady.

"That's it! Even though my father made an engagement for me in Dianzhou far away, the three letters and six etiquettes were not left. The token was delivered directly to me?"

Yang Jinglan spoke in a calm tone, as if she was telling a very common thing.

Xi Qiu was very angry and wanted to complain to his wife immediately!

"When Madam comes back from the flower banquet, we will sue..."

"Xi Qiu!"

Yang Jinglan shouted softly, interrupting all Xi Qiu's complaints.

"Grandma just asked Mother Liu to test my character. What if my mother comes forward in this matter?"

"When mother comes back, you come with me. This jade pendant is definitely not a common thing and should not be kept by me!"

After sending Xi Qiu away, Yang Jinglan picked up the needle and thread again and continued to embroider the handkerchief.

What girl is not pregnant? There are many handkerchiefs around Yang Jinglan. Yang Jinglan has been engaged to her first friend since she was nine years old.

Over the years, Yang Jinglan's friends have gotten engaged one after another, and even two of them got married last year.

However, Yang Jinglan's marriage has never been settled. At first, her mother wanted to see it again, and later her grandfather specially sent a message.

Yang Jinglan's appearance is not stunning, but her temperament is gentle, and because she comes from a family of military commanders, her gentleness comes with a sense of coolness.

In fact, there was no shortage of people for Yang Jinglan to marry. Some of them chose the wealthy people of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and some of them chose Yang Tingxuan's future.

But it’s also because my son likes Yang Jinglan!

For this reason, Yang Jinglan offended many noble ladies in Beijing, mainly because she was too outstanding.

Because Yang Jinglan has not been engaged in marriage for a long time, there have been rumors in Beijing that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion intends to send Yang Jinglan to the palace as a concubine, and it is also eyeing the new emperor's harem.

As soon as the rumors came out, Yang Jinglan offended even more people. Originally, it was just noble girls of the same age who were looking at her, but now there are many noble girls of several age groups.

Therefore, Yang Jinglan later simply stopped attending those banquets!

Yang Jinglan also had expectations for her future husband, but as she grew older and her temperament became more mature, her expectations became lower and lower.

Especially this summer, a friend of Yang Jinglan came to her to complain. The friend was engaged to her childhood sweetheart's cousin.

My friend's wedding was originally scheduled to be after the spring plowing next year, but suddenly my aunt wrote me that she wanted to move it forward to after the autumn harvest this year.

After several inquiries, I learned that although my friend's cousin had no concubines, he had taken in several maids who were married to him, and he only waited for the mistress to come in and marry him as his aunt.

The reason why the wedding date was brought forward this time was because one of the maids secretly poured Bizi soup and became pregnant.

Yang Jinglan was angry on behalf of her friend and even persuaded her friend and cousin to break off their engagement, but in the end, her friend got married early last month.

Even though she has been a friend for many years, Yang Jinglan did not want to bless such a wedding, and in the end she only asked Xi Qiu to send her a make-up gift.

Yang Jinglan didn't know the plan between her grandfather and her father, but she could understand her mother's anxiety and worry. Her mother didn't want her to join the royal family.

When she was fifteen years old and had yet to get engaged, Yang Jinglan had already thought clearly about it and comforted her mother in turn.

"Mom! My life will not be bad in the future!"

"My grandfather is the Marquis of Dingyuan with great military exploits, and my father is a powerful official. I have a rich dowry so I don't have to worry about food and clothing!"
