"What about pulling my arm?"

"I'm afraid you'll dislocate your shoulder."

"you……"

Everything he said seemed to be correct.

Before she could retort a few more times, Nangong Zeyue vanished in a flash.

...

Perhaps because I went to bed too late, it was already bright when I left the space the next day.

The light snow that was falling last night has stopped, and the eastern horizon is filled with the glow of dawn.

In an instant, a radiant sun burst forth from the sea of ​​clouds, its rays cascading down and making the snow on the branches sparkle.

Hearing a noise inside, Lan'er came in to help her wash up.

Where is Qiuju?

Lan'er replied with a smile, "Someone from the palace has come. Sister Qiuju said you should sleep a little longer. She and Guard Gao went to the front hall."

Lan'er glanced at the neatly arranged bedding on the bed. "Miss, you don't need to do the bedding yourself. Let me do it."

"It's nothing, it's just something I do when I get up. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to exercise. Doing some chores is like exercising."

Jiang Shuyue made up her mind that she would no longer go into the space to sleep every day.

If the two girls find out one day, there will be no way to explain it, and they will think of me as a monster, which would be troublesome.

"Did Nangong Zeyue come today?"

Lan'er nodded, "Sister Qiuju instructed the kitchen to cook some stomach-soothing porridge, and Young Master Nangong ate a big bowl before leaving."

Lan'er paused and said, "He said that Miss was tired last night and asked me not to come in and disturb her."

As Lan'er spoke, she stared at Jiang Shuyue's face and neck.

Once, while walking through the corridor, I overheard Guard Gao telling Sister Qiuju that she had worked hard at night and that she shouldn't be busy.

Lan'er didn't understand what was so hard about working at night until she saw the red marks on Qiu Ju's neck, then she understood what Gao Mu meant by hardship.

Is it hard work for Young Master Nangong and Miss Nangong?

The little girl's face flushed red as she thought of the embarrassing thing.

Jiang Shuyue also felt that there was something strange about what he said.

Seeing Lan'er's face turn red, he immediately realized what was going on, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not tired."

"Oh, Miss is in good health."

"No, it's not what you think. Nangong Zeyue got drunk last night, and I just took care of him for a while."

It almost made things worse by trying to explain it.

This little girl should be married by now. Her head is full of yellow thoughts all day long. She's almost turned into a banana person because of Qiuju.

After tidying her hair up, Jiang Shuyue looked at Lan'er behind her through the bronze mirror, "Lan'er, do you have someone you love?"

Lan'er's face instantly turned bright red. "No, no, this servant is devoted to serving Miss and will not marry."

"Why is your face as red as a monkey's bottom if you're not getting married? If you don't tell me the truth, don't blame me for playing matchmaker in the future."

"Miss, no, I don't want to leave the Jiang family."

Jiang Shuyue suppressed a laugh. Lan'er was timid and honest; if you scared her a little, she wouldn't be able to hide anything.

Her thoughts were written all over her face.

Judging from her appearance, the person she likes must be one of the servants in the manor.

Just as Jiang Shuyue was about to ask further questions, Qiuju walked in.

She waved the invitation in her hand and said, "Miss, Princess Yonghe invites you to the suburban palace to enjoy the snow and admire the plum blossoms."

Lan'er asked, puzzled, "The plum blossoms in the garden have all withered. Are there any plum blossoms left to admire?"

"Yes, of course there are. There is more than one variety of plum blossoms. The royal palace has a wide variety of plum blossoms, and the latest blooming season is around the Lunar New Year."

Qiu Ju knew all this from Gao Mu, but she didn't know how Gao Mu knew it.

"Miss, shall we go?" Qiuju asked, handing over the invitation.

Jiang Shuyue accepted the invitation and looked at the neat handwriting on it.

"How could I refuse an invitation personally written by Princess Yonghe?"

Jiang Shuyue glanced at the date on the signature; it was three days later.

Lan'er also noticed the date on the signature. She glanced at the makeup box on the dressing table and said, "Princess Yonghe is so considerate, leaving enough time. Miss, would you like to buy some new jewelry?"

Jiang Shuyue put down the invitation and said, "No need. The princess has invited more than just me. I'll just use a simple hairpin."

She wouldn't stoop to competing with a group of young girls.

Qiuju nodded in agreement, "Miss is right. We don't need to dress up for the trip. The palace is in Yanhui Mountain, where the snow is thicker than in the capital. Miss, just bring more clothes."

In Qiuju's heart, her young lady was as beautiful as a fairy no matter how she dressed up.

After having breakfast, Jiang Shuyue went to the clinic, and soon after, Du Yutong arrived excitedly.

It turned out that she had also received Princess Yonghe's invitation and had come specifically to tell Jiang Shuyue.

There weren't many patients at the clinic today. Jiang Shuyue gave Yin Qiao some instructions and then pulled Du Yutong along to go for a stroll in the street.

As soon as they stepped out of the clinic, Qiuju called out to Jiang Shuyue, "Miss, wait a minute, it looks like Uncle Lin is coming from across the street."

Jiang Shuyue stopped and looked across the street, where she saw Lin Miaoshou leading Xu An through the crowd toward the clinic.

Jiang Shuyue gestured for Du Yutong to wait a moment. Du Yutong was overjoyed. "Sister Yue'er, today is a perfect opportunity. Auntie went to the Women's Quarters early this morning."

"This is a golden opportunity! Watch me. You hurry back to the shop and wait. Don't let Aunt Du go home early." Jiang Shuyue waved to Du Yutong and then turned back to wait in front of the clinic.

Du Yutong understood and quickly left with her personal maid.

Lin Miaoshou and Xu An walked through the crowd and looked up to see Jiang Shuyue and Qiu Ju standing smiling in front of the door, waiting for them.

"Moon Girl, how did you two know I was coming?"

Before Jiang Shuyue could reply to Lin Miaoshou, Xu An stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hello, Sister Jiang."

"Hello, Miss Qiuju."

After exchanging greetings, Lin Miaoshou said, "I came out of the palace today to ask you for two medicinal herbs, and I also brought Xu An out to buy some things."

Jiang Shuyue said, "Uncle Lin, you've come at just the right time. Let's go and take a look at the shop you've invested in."

"shop?"

Lin Miaoshou paused for a moment before remembering the shop. He shook his head and laughed, "You silly girl, you can just be kidding. You're really blaming me."

Jiang Shuyue asked Qiuju to take Xu An to the shop to get the medicinal herbs.

She said earnestly, "Uncle Lin, don't underestimate that shop. When the profits are distributed in a year, the money might be equivalent to half a year's salary for you."

Lin Miaoshou couldn't refuse Jiang Shuyue, so she nodded and said, "Let's go take a look later. We can't let Yue'er's good intentions go to waste."

He made up his mind that he would use all the money he earned to help Sui Sui and Xu An get married.

As they were talking, Xu An and Qiu Ju came out of the clinic.

The four of them did not take a carriage, but walked along the street towards Aunt Du's shop.

"Uncle Lin, that shop sells a wide variety of things, and your partner manages it very well."

Along the way, Jiang Shuyue would occasionally reveal some information about Aunt Du to Lin Miaoshou.

In the end, they never revealed the specific identity of the partner.

Lin Miaoshou nodded repeatedly as he listened, without asking how good the business was, as if he didn't care whether it was profitable or not.
