After leaving Yu Mansion, Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying each held a little sister's hand and walked on the street, shopping for some things.

Jiang Mu and Jiang Lin's personalities also changed a lot. With the help of the eldest princess, the two sisters entered a particularly good private school for girls, where the girls were all daughters of officials.

They made a lot of good friends. Some people heard that they were Jiang Huai's sisters, and the elders in the family also taught them to get along well with each other.

I would also like to talk about Jiang Huai's news. Half a month ago, Jiang Huai sent a memorial back to the palace. Now it is winter and the Heihe River has entered the dry season, so the speed of widening the river channel and building the dam has been accelerated.

Everything was going smoothly, but he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Beijing for the New Year this year, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to keep an eye on the progress.

The emperor was very happy when he received the memorial, and he rewarded Jiang Huai and Lu Chuan with a lot of things. General Lu was so proud of himself that he walked sideways with joy.

Jiang Huai's reward was delivered to Jiang's house. Many people in the court speculated that when Jiang Huai returned, he would be promoted and his future would be limitless.

Lu Chuan, who is on good terms with him, is likely to be promoted. And Zhou Qian, who has been in charge of transporting supplies to Jiang Huai during this period, has already been given an official position by the emperor.

Mrs. Zhou never expected that her son wanted to take the martial arts test, but she disagreed. She wanted her son to take the imperial examination, but Zhou Qian'an disagreed, and the situation remained deadlocked.

The matter of marriage was imminent, but he didn't have a proper official position yet, and Mrs. Zhou was almost anxious to death.

But now that the emperor gave her a position, Mrs. Zhou was so happy that she wanted to send things to Jiang's house every day.

The court is full of shrewd people. Whoever is the most popular right now, Jiang Huai must have a place. It will only benefit you and not harm you to have a good relationship with his two sisters.

Jiang Mu and Jiang Lin were picking out sachets, and looked up to ask Jiang Yuan, "Sister, can I put scented pills in the sachets? I'll give them to my good friends when we go to school."

Jiang Yuan rubbed the little sister's head and agreed, "Of course, you can choose whatever flavor of incense pills you want to put in it."

The two little balls jumped for joy.

Qu Ying joked, "You are really generous. Your perfume is getting more and more expensive now, but you are willing to give it to a few girls for free."

"I don't have time. It's not a holiday now. I plan to save more money because I have to give gifts for the New Year."

After the two little girls finished choosing, Jiang Yuan paid the money and took them to eat.

They met four girls dressed elegantly. Jiang Yuan didn't know them, but Qu Ying was stunned.

The four people on the opposite side saw Qu Ying and came forward to greet her, "Miss Qu, long time no see."

Qu Ying smiled and returned the greeting, "Yes, ladies, are you out shopping?"

One of them looked at Jiang Yuan who was standing beside him, and after thinking carefully, he couldn't remember who he was. "Who is this?"

They should have met at some banquets, but since no one introduced them, they naturally didn't know each other. In addition, Jiang Yuan had not appeared at those banquets for a long time.

Qu Ying introduced, "This is Jiang Yuan, Ah Yuan, this is Miss Sun, this is the second Miss Liu, this is Commander Wu's legitimate daughter, and this is the cousin of Lord He."

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded to everyone one by one, "Hello, ladies."

Hearing that the person in front of them was the rumored celebrity, several girls couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan.

"So this is the famous second daughter of the Jiang family. I've heard of your name for a long time." Commander Wu's daughter spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Jiang Yuan was not angry either, and kept smiling faintly, "Commander Wu also makes Jiang Yuan admire him."

"A Yuan..." The situation here was just tense when a surprised male voice came from the shop next door.

Following the sound, he saw Xie Yunxiao baring his big white teeth, smiling happily, walking straight towards Jiang Yuan. He didn't even glance at the people around him.

He was carrying boxes of various sizes in his hands.

Jiang Mu and Jiang Lin saw him and called out sweetly, "Fourth Brother."

Xie Yunxiao freed one hand and touched the two girls' heads. "Fourth brother bought you gifts and sent them to Jiang's house. I didn't expect to see you here."

As he said this, he handed the box in his hand to Lu Zhu behind him, and looked at Jiang Yuan with sparkling eyes, "I bought you a lot of delicious food, thinking of sending them to you.

Have you eaten yet? Please go and have dinner. Tianxianglou has added new dishes."

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Qu Ying was also cheerful, "Can I have a free meal?"

"Of course, let's go."

When passing by the four girls opposite, Xie Yunxiao nodded slightly, obviously not looking at them.

The girl from the Wu family stared at Jiang Yuan intently. Seeing Xie Yunxiao standing side by side with Jiang Yuan and bringing her sister with him, her eyes were almost blazing with anger.

"Third sister, I heard that General Xie offended the Marquis in court, just to prevent the Marquis from interfering in the marriage.

Commander Wu and the Marquis' Mansion have been discussing your marriage, and it's caused a lot of uproar. He suddenly did this, showing no regard for your face at all.

Could it be that the rumors are true, and General Xie is really connected with the rebellious second daughter of the Jiang family?"

"Stop talking about things that are not related to the topic."

After saying this the girl covered her mouth and moved back.

Miss Wu San clenched her hands so tightly that her nails were digging into her flesh. She stared at the backs of the men as they left, with evil thoughts in her mind.

Jiang Yuan did not mention the affairs of the court, and neither did Xie Yunxiao. This made Qu Ying very upset. She was obviously absent-minded while eating.

Finally, she couldn't help but said, "Fourth brother, why don't you just ask the emperor to grant you a marriage?"

Xie Yunxiao put a piece of sweet and sour carp in Jiang Yuan's bowl, and looked into Jiang Yuan's eyes. He smiled and replied, "A Yuan hasn't agreed to marry me yet, so how can I ask the emperor to grant me marriage without permission?"

The corners of Qu Ying's mouth twitched. "Ah Yuan, don't you want to marry Fourth Brother? Aren't you two, talking about, talking about love, right?"

Jiang Yuan ate the fish and said, "Yes, we are in love. Love is a process of understanding each other and cultivating feelings.

Fourth brother needs to ask me before deciding on the next step. This is respect.

If a man does not respect your decision, it means that in his heart, your opinions, moods, and feelings are not important at all.

In summary, you don’t have to find someone who is very successful, but you must find someone who is very good and respects you from the bottom of his heart.”

Qu Ying put down his chopsticks, thinking about something.

Xie Yunxiao nodded fiercely at Jiang Yuan, his expression seemed to be saying, "See if I am excellent."

Three days before the New Year, Qin Mowei returned.

He had already completed the resettlement of the victims and post-disaster reconstruction work, but the emperor asked him to stay and temporarily take charge of the affairs of Dongshan County. Now that Dongshan County has new people to manage it, he can also rush back to the capital before the New Year.

When I was carrying green bamboo and spring branches to purchase large quantities of incense-making materials, a carriage passed by and I looked at the word "An" hanging on the carriage.

Lu Zhu muttered to himself, "I heard that the prince of Anyang will return to Beijing before the New Year. This must be it."

Jiang Yuan looked at the carriage going away, and walked in the opposite direction with the two maids.
