While they were eating, someone informed Jiang Jiuniang, who then came over after finishing her meal with Madam Sun and the others.

However, since they were a large group, Madam Yu was worried that they might frighten the two girls. So she suggested that Jiang Jiuniang go and tell the two girls first, and that they sit in the garden for a while and then go to see her friends after a cup of tea.

Jiang Jiuniang felt it was unnecessary to go to such trouble, but everyone thought Yu's suggestion was excellent and they couldn't be too forward with the two young ladies, so they all decided to wait in the garden.

There was no other way, so Jiang Jiuniang had to go there herself.

Even before you reach the door, you can hear Zhuzhu's loud, boisterous voice: "This side, this side, we need to plant greenery here too! Yes, yes, don't leave it empty, plant everything that can be planted, please, please!"

Jiang Jiuniang smiled helplessly and went inside. When Zhuzhu saw her, she rushed up and took her arm, saying, "Sister Jiuniang, this place is so wonderful! The air is so fresh that I wish I could live in the mountains. But there's so much delicious food at your house that I really don't want to leave. I can only ask these older brothers and sisters to help me plant more flowers and plants!"

Ruozheng was also tending to the flowers and plants nearby, and didn't even have time to talk to her.

She wants to study many plants that went extinct in the apocalypse and, based on that, cultivate new varieties.

Jiang Jiuniang had no choice but to say, "I know, I know. This courtyard is yours. You can decorate it however you like. These are clothes that I had prepared for you. Go and change into them first. My family wants to come and visit you later so you can get to know each other."

They returned too late last night, and Lu Baichuan only had a courtyard prepared for them, forgetting that clothes for the young ladies also needed to be prepared. The maids were not allowed to give them their own maid clothes without permission, so they were still wearing the clothes they wore in the apocalypse.

Although it was wearable, it was completely out of place in this dynasty, and people would definitely stare at it as a weirdo if it went out. So early in the morning, Jiang Jiuniang ordered someone to go to Jiayuan Pavilion to get a few sets of ready-made clothes. They were all the latest styles of the season, and there was bound to be one that they liked.

Upon hearing this, the two were indeed very interested in the clothing of this era, especially since Jiang Jiuniang had prepared the finest materials for them, which felt precious to the touch, and the two were extremely pleased with them.

These treasures don't exist in the apocalypse; compared to them, what they're wearing now is practically rags.

They happily picked out beautiful clothes and jewelry, and maids helped them with their makeup and hair. When they came out, they looked like completely different people.

"Wearing this dress, I feel like I'm turning into a fairy. This fabric feels so comfortable against my skin, oh my god..."

Like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, she exaggerated, thinking that she was incredibly lucky to have met Jiang Jiuniang, not only getting a free meal but also a lifetime of wealth and luxury.

Thinking of this, she immediately grabbed Jiang Jiuniang and promised, "Sister Jiuniang, I will definitely help you do your job well. I want to go to the battlefield and beat those people so that they dare not invade our country again!"

At first, the maids and servants in the courtyard thought that the lady's friend was like a little girl who hadn't grown up, and that she would probably have to be pampered like a child in the future. But when they heard her say that she was going to the battlefield, they were immediately filled with respect. Sure enough, the lady's friends were not ordinary, and they were short-sighted.

Jiang Jiuniang couldn't stop smiling when she heard her talk about our country; it was clear that they were wholeheartedly on her side.

"Let's talk about this later. You've just arrived, so go out and explore. Buy whatever you like and relax."

As she spoke, she gave the two of them two large bags of silver, enough for them to shop to their hearts' content.

"Waaaaah, Sister Ajiu, how can you be so kind!"

Zhuzhu hugged the money bag and was moved to tears. She knew that Sister Ajiu was good to Sister Ruozheng because they had a good relationship, and Sister Ruozheng had suffered a lot for Sister Ajiu. It was only natural for Sister Ajiu to be good to Sister Ruozheng, but she treated her the same way. This made her very touched, but also very guilty. She always felt that she had taken too much advantage of her.

Fortunately, Ruozheng didn't mind these things and always treated her like a younger sister, which made her, an orphan for many years, instantly feel loved.

"Alright, alright, it's so early in the morning, don't get too emotional."

Jiang Jiuniang nudged her, telling her to calm down. Just then, Sun Shi and her group arrived.

Upon seeing the two stunningly beautiful girls, he was immediately captivated and enthusiastically introduced himself, telling them to make themselves at home and to provide whatever they needed.

The two women were initially worried that Jiang Jiuniang's in-laws would not like them, and were a little uneasy. However, they were surprised to find that everyone was warm and easy to get along with, and they gradually relaxed.

After getting to know each other, they made plans to go out for a stroll and take a look at the new shop that Lu Xiaoyang had recently acquired.

Despite having mentally prepared themselves, the two still couldn't help but marvel at the wide variety of goods available on the bustling streets outside, wanting to look at everything and touch every item.

Before, when we went out, we would just wander around aimlessly. After all, we had been living in the capital for a long time and had everything we needed, so there was nothing we particularly longed for. But today, with Ruozheng and Zhuzhu by my side, everything seemed interesting. We spent the whole afternoon with them and didn't feel bored at all.

The most impressive one has to be Ruozheng. When he went to eat at the restaurant owned by the Yu family, he immediately noticed many areas for improvement. He was already thinking about designing a rotating elevator and spotlights for the restaurant, and arranging for people to sing and dance, which would attract more customers.

Upon hearing this, Yu's eyes lit up, and her fondness for Ruozheng rose to a new level.

As expected of my third sister-in-law's best friend, she has the same strange ideas in her mind. When she first started her business, my third sister-in-law liked to come up with these strange things to attract customers. Later, she got busy and couldn't take care of the business anymore, so she stopped paying attention to these things. I didn't expect that Ruozheng would help with these things as soon as she arrived. She really helped a lot.

Jiang Jiuniang made no attempt to hide her praise for Ruozheng to everyone: "She's a research fanatic. With her around, our business can definitely reach new heights, and our competitors won't even have a chance to copy her."

In the past, she did those things to survive and make more money to help the Lu family become rich. She basically did whatever came to mind and expanded the business as much as possible. Many details were not perfected afterward. After all, in this era, even if it was not perfected, no one could surpass it.

But Ruozheng sees it differently. She is a perfectionist who loves scientific research. She will find ways to do things well and make them strong when she is interested, instead of doing things perfunctorily like Ruozheng.

Everyone was truly surprised by Ruozheng's strength and was incredibly impressed.

Zhuzhu felt a little embarrassed; it seemed like she didn't know anything.

"Let's go, future female general! What are you standing there for?"

Jiang Jiuniang noticed her, pulled her along, and helped her catch up with the group.
