Since Nangong Jin is coming back, and he has always had business dealings with the army, if Xu Miaomiao doesn't go at this time, it would be hard to justify it, right?

Besides, it was Nangong Jin who invited her, so Xu Miaomiao nodded and responded to Song Zhijin: "Don't worry, Madam Song, Miaomiao will definitely attend on time."

After chatting with the woman for a while, Song Zhijin let Xu Miaomiao go.

When she walked out of the Song Mansion, Xu Miaomiao took a deep breath and returned to the department store. At that time, Gu Yuanniang was still counting the accounts.

Song Weiwei, who was standing by, was wiping the shelves where the goods were placed out of boredom.

Xu Miaomiao was somewhat happy when she came back.

"Why did you come back so early? I thought the flower arrangement collection would be delayed for a long time." Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and said.

Song Weiwei, who was standing by, came over immediately when she saw Xu Miaomiao, and curiously pulled her aside to ask, "What does this flower arrangement fair look like? I've never been there before, is it fun?"

"Just looking at her expression, you can tell it's not fun," said Gu Yuan's mother at the side.

Xu Miaomiao nodded: "It's really not interesting, just some young ladies arranging flowers and drinking tea, and then choosing a winner. It's very boring. It's better to sell things in the store, count the accounts, and brew wine. It's more interesting."

When Gu Yuanniang heard Xu Miaomiao say this, she grinned, shook her head, and felt a little disappointed in her.

Xu Miaomiao sighed, sat on a chair beside her, and rubbed her eyebrows in annoyance.

"The banquet is over, why are you still unhappy?" Gu Yuanniang seemed to see what was on her mind and asked.

Xu Miaomiao sighed and said, "Although this banquet is over, there is still another one. I wonder if people in the capital are so idle every day? They hold banquets endlessly."

"Is it still Song Zhijin who invited you? Why don't you just say that there is a patient at home and use that as an excuse not to go."

Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "If it was really Song Zhijin's personal invitation, it would be fine if we didn't go, but now Nangong Jin is back, and we have business with the court. We have always been the ones to deliver food to the army. If we don't go to this banquet, it might not be a good idea."

When Gu Yuanniang heard what Xu Miaomiao said, she nodded slightly to show her approval: "In that case, we should indeed go. After winning the battle, we should also prepare some gifts for Nangong Xianggong. I will pick them out for you and you can bring them over when the time comes."

Xu Miaomiao nodded and looked at Gu Yuanniang with dependence: "I know that Liu Niang is the best."

The events of the past few days had tormented Xu Miaomiao so much that she simply did not go to the department store the next day. Instead, she lazily took a nap at home. In the afternoon, she accompanied Xiaobao to review the medical book. It had indeed been a long time since she had spent time with her children.

A day passed in a flash, and Xu Miaomiao specially prepared a pair of Qilin for him as a gift. On the next morning, Xu Miaomiao saw that the time was almost up, so he took the pair of Qilin and got on the carriage.

The carriage was shaking as it moved, and she felt a little drowsy.

The sudden stop made Xu Miaomiao, who was originally a little sleepy, sober up. After getting off the carriage, she could still hear laughter from the army.

Perhaps because Xu Miaomiao came here often and delivered things, the soldiers at the door knew Xu Miaomiao and let her in easily.

The closer Xu Miaomiao got to the big white tent in the middle, the louder the laughter became. She opened the curtain and walked in, only to see Song Zhijin and Nangong Jin talking and laughing, with their arms around each other's shoulders, like a pair of brothers. When Song Zhijin saw Xu Miaomiao coming, she felt a little embarrassed and silently removed her fingers from Nangong Jin's shoulder.

Nangong Jin also let go, and Song Zhijin saluted Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao immediately took out the Qilin in his hand and handed it to Nangong Jin, saying: "Congratulations to the general on his victory and return. These are some gifts prepared by Miaomiao. They are not much of a token of respect, so I hope the general will not despise them."

"How could I despise something you gave me?" Nangong Jin smiled slightly and readily reached out to take the pair of Qilin from Xu Miaomiao.

"Madam Song, why don't you see Princess Jiahe?"

In the past, where there was Song Zhijin, there would be the presence of Jiahe monarch? Today, Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised that she didn't see her.

When Song Zhijin heard this, she laughed awkwardly twice and said, "Jiahe hasn't gone out because her illness hasn't healed yet."

Xu Miaomiao understood in her heart that she had drugged Princess Jiahe, but the dosage was not strong. It would only make people feel uncomfortable for a day or two. It must be that Princess Jiahe was eager for success and used some biased prescription, which caused her face to not heal for a long time.

At this time, Xu Miaomiao didn't think much about it. She was wrong to set fire to the store, and people should pay the price for their wrong deeds. Besides, she has always been a person who will take revenge. She would not feel right to let her swallow this bowl of half-cooked rice.

As night slowly fell, the soldiers gathered around the campfire, laughing and talking. A few of them even ran to Xu Miaomiao and secretly praised the things in their department store, saying they were very delicious and that they could have a taste of their hometown even in times of war.

Xu Miaomiao just smiled modestly in response.

Her eyes were all on Song Zhijin today. If in front of Princess Jiahe, Song Zhijin was a good friend with whom she could talk about anything, then in front of Nangong Jin, Song Zhijin's identity had become a brother who would live and die together.

Song Zhijin proudly picked up a jar of wine and drank it with Nangong Jin, and in an instant they finished the jar.

The two chatted and laughed. Xu Miaomiao wanted to reduce her presence and let the banquet tonight pass. But Song Zhijin was looking for trouble. Seeing Xu Miaomiao still in a daze, Song Zhijin frowned in dissatisfaction and said jokingly, "Is it that the dishes today are not delicious enough, or the liquor is not tasty enough? Why doesn't Madam Xu touch her chopsticks or drink?"

When Nangong Jin heard what Song Zhijin said, he frowned slightly and looked at Xu Miaomiao.

Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "The food is delicious and the wine is nice to drink, but Miaomiao has already eaten a lot and is already a little full, so she didn't eat any more."

"So that's how it is!" Song Zhijin smiled slightly, picked up a jar of wine, and toasted Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu, you are so smart and kind, come, let me toast you, you don't have to drink it all, it means that we are better after two drinks."

Xu Miaomiao's eyes darkened, and she picked up the jar of wine beside her and toasted back at Song Zhijin: "Madam Song is toasting, so there is no reason for Miaomiao not to finish it."

Then he drank the whole jar of wine in one gulp. Seeing how heroic he was, Song Zhijin had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish the wine.
