Chapter 172 Happy New Year! May the Crown Princess be well.
New Year's Day.
Early in the morning, Tao Han and Qiu Niang came together, carrying large and small bags of holiday gifts, to wish Jiang Rong a happy new year.
"Greetings, Princess! I wish you all the best and good luck in the new year!" Qiu Niang bowed respectfully.
Tao Han also bowed and said, "Happy New Year to the Crown Prince's Consort. I wish you all your wishes come true and a prosperous New Year."
Jiang Rong got up early, and together with Xie Lingxi, they paid their respects to the old empress dowager and the Northern King, and then returned to Jinyu Garden.
In previous years, she would go to the Jiang family to pay New Year's greetings.
But now the Jiang family is empty...
There is no need to go.
"This New Year gift was sent by Mr. Chi." Tao Han pointed to a large box beside him and handed over a letter.
Jiang Rong took the letter, which was written by Chi Moyan himself.
Wish her a happy new year.
I felt very guilty for not being able to personally wish my teacher a happy new year. I enclosed the specialties he bought in Yunhu Lake with the letter.
Although the person has not arrived, his intention is very sincere.
Jiang Rong curled the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
Her family from her mother's side was gone, but looking at the people in front of her and the letter sent from thousands of miles away, she seemed to still have a bunch of real family members.
"Mo Yan is thoughtful." Jiang Rong put the letter away, looked at the two of them and smiled:
"Happy New Year to you all. I have prepared New Year gifts for you..."
Feicui immediately presented two brocade boxes filled with stacks of large-denomination silver bills.
Wanjuan Bookstore made a lot of money this year.
Jiang Rong had already prepared to give each of them a big red envelope at the end of the year.
"This... is too expensive." Qiu Niang quickly declined.
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "We are family, no need to be polite. You are all my confidants, and you deserve it!"
Those who belong to her should rise to prosper with her.
This was also the first time that Tao Han met such a generous host. Whether there was a banknote or not, he would be willing to sacrifice his life for the benefactor.
But the other party values them so much...
Even with his hard-hearted character who had been through so much, I was deeply moved.
"Let's have breakfast together. You came so early, you probably haven't eaten yet, right?" Jiang Rong looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Li'er sent over several bottles of new sauce yesterday, and Feicui and the others made some fresh snacks. You can all try them."
Jade is setting the table for breakfast.
Agate came to report, "Master Song Heng is here!"
Jiang Rong knew that he was now being valued by the emperor and did not want to affect his future, so she told him early on that he did not need to have any contact with her.
Seeing her master's surprise, Manju covered her mouth and laughed, "Mr. Song came to our house early this morning to do some work."
The entire court is on annual leave.
Song Heng works in the Hanlin Academy and has recently been responsible for compiling the military history of the Northern Desert War. The written article needs to be reviewed and approved by the King of the North in person.
Of course, this matter doesn't need to be handled on New Year's Day.
But he wanted to come and wish Jiang Rong a happy new year.
So I handled both official and private matters together.
Xie Pingbei was shocked. You are on holiday, junior, and you are here to deliver official business in person...
There is no need to be so diligent.
But Song Heng had only been in the court for a short time, but he had already become famous for his diligence. He completed all the tasks he took on quickly and well, never showing favoritism, and was very diligent, often working all night long.
So other people didn't think it was strange.
Isn’t it just delivering official business on New Year’s Day?
This is what Lord Song is like!
Jiang Rong couldn't help but laugh. This guy...
"Student wishes a happy new year to the Crown Princess. I wish you all the best!" Song Heng bowed.
Jiang Rong smiled, "Happy New Year, Master Song! Jadeite——"
Feicui immediately presented another brocade box. This was a set of precious study treasures that Jiang Rong had selected, and he had originally intended to have someone deliver it quietly.
The same goes for the New Year gift prepared for Chi Moyan.
"Sister-in-law--" Xie Ruojiao was about to come in with her brother, but when she saw the familiar figure in the room, she stopped immediately.
He turned and ran at lightning speed.
The only one left was Xie Lingan, who was thrown there, with a bewildered look on his face.
Didn’t we say that we should wish our brother and sister-in-law a happy new year together?
A quarter of an hour later.
Xie Ruojiao came back refreshed. She slept very late yesterday and was too sleepy to get up in the morning. She had to pay New Year's greetings to her elders and her brother and sister-in-law before she could stay awake...
I plan to take a nap after paying New Year’s greetings.
So she didn't do her makeup carefully, her face was bare, her hair was tied up loosely, she put on a casual outfit, and she didn't even wear accessories because it was too troublesome...
Woo woo woo.
Who knew I would meet my soulmate!
Xie Ruojiao hurried back to dress up carefully. She was also worried that Song Heng would leave soon, so she urged the maids to comb her hair, put on makeup, and change clothes...
So he came in a hurry.
Fortunately...
Song Heng is still here.
Jiang Rong invited them to have breakfast together. They had just finished eating.
"Happy New Year to my sister-in-law..." Xie Ruojiao bowed to Jiang Rong first, then pretended to be casual:
"Yeah, Master Song is here too."
Jiang Rong couldn't help laughing.
Qiu Niang also lowered her head, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
Tao Han was silent. Second Miss Xie, everyone saw you just now...
"Hello, Miss Xie, I have been here since just now." Song Heng said politely.
Just now……
Xie Ruojiao’s smile was stiff. Ahhhh, her ugly look was seen by Song Heng!
Xie Ruojiao suddenly became listless.
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first." Song Heng looked at Jiang Rong and said.
Jiang Rong saw Xie Ruojiao's depressed look and couldn't help laughing, "Jiaojiao, please see Mr. Song off."
Xie Ruojiao responded gloomily.
Send Song Heng out.
There is no longer the chirping appearance of the past.
Song Heng felt a little strange, "Second Miss, what trouble did you encounter?"
"I..." Xie Ruojiao bit her lip and lowered her head. She was too embarrassed to speak, but she couldn't hide her words. When she reached the door, she finally couldn't help asking:
"Song Heng, I... you didn't see what I did just now, did you?"
"I see it clearly." Song Heng answered affirmatively.
"I didn't even comb my hair just now... I'm too embarrassed to see you..." Xie Ruojiao wanted to cry.
Song Heng was surprised, then he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"The lotus blooms in clear water, naturally without any decoration. Miss Second, there is no need to worry about it."
Xie Ruojiao's eyes suddenly lit up, he praised her for being pretty!
Song Heng praised someone for his literary talent!
Xie Ruojiao, who was looking dejected, suddenly smiled.
When Song Heng saw her smile, he nodded slightly and smiled back.
…
Jinyuyuan, study.
"Young Master, Ye Yan has traveled thousands of miles to deliver this urgent message!" Jingzhe handed over a letter tube.
Xie Lingxi unfolded it and took a look...
The Starry Country, Ice Jade Sunflower.
Although the Fanxing royal family blocked the news of obtaining the miraculous medicine, Ye Yan's intelligence network is no pushover.
The spy lurking among the stars immediately sent back the information.
The royal family of Fanxing Kingdom was full of hostility towards the Xie family. Because many of his ancestors were beaten to death by the Xie family...
Of course, I was also very afraid.
They never dared to provoke the Xie family, but they would never be willing to give the treasures in their hands to the Xie family.
Today, Wanjin Commercial Bank has become an openly visible part of the Xie family's influence.
If you want to get the medicine, you have to change your identity and go to the Western Regions.
