Jiang Yimian just smiled and continued to write and draw on the table, saying calmly, "I shouldn't be the one who's anxious. Although I don't know what the person who sent the gift was up to, he should be the one who's anxious."
After sending them for so many days, it's about time they showed up.
She wanted to see who it was.
Liu'er was taken aback, but found it quite reasonable. After thinking for a while, she said, "Should I go and check it out first?"
In case the person giving the gift had ill intentions towards the girl, she would be prepared.
Jiang Yimian simply waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need, that person will come looking for me. Why don't you and Yunniang help me think of the content for this Beijing Times?"
Since Lu Cijian said that she didn't need to worry about the Bureau of Justice, she only needed to think about the contents of the Beijing Times.
First, determine the content for each section, and then fill in the content later.
Liu'er stared at the drawing on the paper laid out on the table for a while before saying, "Is Miss doing this to make Baoxiangfang's business better?"
"Yes and no, anyway, you'll know once you make it."
As the two were talking, Yunniang's voice came from outside.
"Yimian, the maid who delivered the brocade box has arrived. She says she wants to see you."
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You came really quickly."
A woman in purple was standing at the entrance of Baoxiangfang. As soon as she saw Jiang Yimian come out, she smiled and said, "Manager Jiang, my lady wants to see you."
The woman was dressed as a maid, yet she exuded an air of superiority.
Although she smiled slightly, the smile clearly didn't reach her eyes.
Jiang Yimian glanced at the person in front of her and asked, "Who is your wife?"
The woman in purple straightened her back and said, "Lady of the Marquis of Anding."
Jiang Yimian was somewhat surprised. She had thought that the person looking for her would be the Prince of Chu, but she never expected it would be the Lady of Anding Marquis.
This person is Lu Chengyuan's second wife, and is Lu Cijian's adversary no matter how you look at it. I don't know what her purpose is in suddenly contacting her.
Jiang Yimian followed the purple-clad maid all the way to Yingchun Tower, still somewhat confused.
If she hadn't really wanted to know what this person was up to, she wouldn't have followed him at all.
The two stopped in front of a private room on the third floor.
The woman in purple knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Madam, the person has been brought."
The door, carved with intricate patterns, was opened from the inside.
The interior was decorated very elegantly, with exquisite murals painted on the walls, which complemented the dancing women on the screen.
The incense burner was currently filled with wisps of smoke, and the fresh and elegant fragrance was simply delightful. No wonder it was the number one restaurant in the capital and was favored by the city's elite.
At this moment, the lady, who was leaning against the table, was dressed in a magnificent and elegant outfit. She was wearing a fashionable brocade skirt with cloud patterns and a front opening, and was being served snacks by a maid.
Upon seeing someone enter, they made no move whatsoever, as if they hadn't seen them at all.
Only after finishing a small piece of jade pear cake did Chen Shuyu gently wipe the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, signal the maids serving her to leave, and then she said, "You should know that Cijian is going to marry Miss Xue."
Jiang Yimian glanced at her indifferently, "Madam probably summoned me for more than just these things, so please speak frankly."
Upon seeing this, Chen Shuyu glanced at the person in front of her again.
The woman wore a simple light blue dress, which made her look elegant and serene, almost ethereal. She stood there with her back straight, without the slightest hint of servility or obsequiousness.
He was much calmer than she had imagined.
Especially her bright and beautiful face, coupled with her aloof and refined temperament, made her no less beautiful than the ladies of noble families in the capital, and perhaps even more so.
With such a beautiful appearance, it's no wonder that Lu Cijian was attracted to her.
She sat up straight and said, "I asked you to come here because I wanted to give you some guidance."
Lu Cijian, a fake young master who grew up on the estate, has only made a little bit of contribution, which is nothing compared to the entire Marquis of Anding's mansion.
Rather than becoming his concubine, you'd be better off choosing a different path.
Originally, she wanted to watch the show and let Lu Chengyuan see that her son was only interested in a merchant's daughter with no background. But now, she suddenly changed her mind.
Now Lu Chengyuan needs someone to help him consolidate his control over the Imperial Guards, and that good-for-nothing Lu Lin can't do it.
Currently, only Lu Cijian has the potential to do it.
Therefore, Lu Chengyuan wanted Lu Cijian to follow his plan.
But since Lu Lin can't do it, Lu Cijian has no choice but to do it too, otherwise, their positions in the Marquis of Anding's mansion will definitely be shaken.
Having finally entered the Marquis of Anding's mansion and enjoyed such a peaceful life for so long, she would never give up the position that belonged to her son.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, "I wonder what Madam Lu means?"
Chen Shuyu merely glanced at the person in front of her and chuckled, "These days, even Baoxiangfang's business is nothing special. Aren't you just trying to curry favor with Lu Cijian for money, so you can get into the Marquis of Anding's mansion?"
To tell you the truth, the Marquis will not allow a woman with no background or status to enter the Lu family.
Or, at most, you could be Lu Cijian's concubine.
"A concubine won't be of much use to you, will it? If you help me, the only place left in the capital will be Baoxiangfang."
Although she didn't know who was behind the former Baoxiangfang, she was certain that they were not ordinary people.
But now that Baoxiangfang has declined, the powerful figure behind it should have abandoned it long ago. This woman must have some ambition to become the manager of Baoxiangfang.
Now that Baoxiangfang is completely suppressed by Yanyuege, she doesn't believe this woman wouldn't be tempted by her offer.
Since the other party doesn't appreciate the small gift she sent, she might as well send something bigger.
Jiang Yimian glanced at Chen Shuyu and felt that this woman was quite something. If she were really just a merchant who only cared about making money, she might actually believe what the other woman said.
After all, if there were only one Baoxiangfang in the capital, and it was favored by the Lady of Anding Marquis, the amount of money it could earn would be greatly increased.
Unfortunately, she prefers to do these challenging things herself.
Moreover, the person in front of her was hardly trustworthy. If she really helped him, she might be kicked away in an instant, without any other chance.
It's just a pretty-looking pie, but inside it's full of poison.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian remained silent, Chen Shuyu smiled, glanced at the maid beside her, and said, "You don't need to rush to refuse. When Baoxiangfang is the only place in the capital, you can have any kind of man you want."
While it may not be one of those high-ranking officials or nobles, at least you can find a good family. I'll help you then.
All you need to do is make sure Lu Cijian drinks this.
Her conditions are absolutely perfect; these lowly commoners are most likely to betray others for a little favor.
She's already taken care of the rest of his life; I don't believe he won't be tempted.
The maid in purple placed a delicate little porcelain bottle on the table.
