Chapter 138: Bad Luck
Seeing those eager eyes, Jiang's mother shook her head.
"Studying is a noble and elegant thing. Learning well can also bring honor to the family and change fate, but they use it as a shortcut to climb up the dragon and attach to the phoenix."
Jiang's mother was very ashamed of such behavior.
Jiang Shu felt that in this kind of thing, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and there is no need to laugh at anyone.
These scholars and students do have ulterior motives, but are the thoughts of those rich families simple?
There is no so much reason to talk about things in this world, but it's all about your feelings and willingness. As
the mother and daughter talked, they arrived at Zhaojue Temple soon.
Perhaps it was because of the auspicious day, there were many people coming to Zhaojue Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha today. The front of the mountain gate was full of carriages, and it was very lively.
Most of the noble ladies wore veils, so their appearance was not visible.
But the small families and ordinary wealthy families were not so particular and could come and go as they pleased.
As for Jiang Shu, she appeared in public every day in men's clothes and had no scruples.
With a pious heart, the mother and daughter climbed the steps in front of the temple and entered the temple's treasure hall to pray sincerely.
After burning incense and worshiping Buddha, the mother and daughter went to ask for lots. They got good lots and were in a good mood.
Especially Jiang Shu's marriage lot, which made Jiang's mother very satisfied.
The wind makes the bamboo sound, and I thought it was the sound of the golden pendant. The moon moves the shadow of the flowers, and I thought it was the arrival of the beautiful woman.
The master who interpreted the fortune said that this was a good fortune, implying that good things are about to happen.
"Today's trip was not in vain." Jiang's mother smiled happily, and the mother and daughter left the temple together.
Jiang Shu's pretty face was shy, and she smiled lightly without saying a word.
When she asked for the fortune, she was thinking of Yu Zheng in her heart, and when the master interpreted the fortune, she was also thinking of Yu Zheng.
Good things are about to happen, which must mean that she and Yu Zheng will succeed and everything will go smoothly.
Jiang Shu was happy in her heart. When she went down the stairs, she looked up at the road and saw a familiar face.
"Boss Jiang?" Fang Mingxu, who was helping his mother up the stairs, asked with a doubtful tone, a little unsure.
The woman in front of him was wearing a spring green hibiscus full of white feather gauze skirt, outlining her graceful figure. Her black hair was half tied up and fell to her waist. She wore a gold-studded jade swaying hairpin on her exquisite bun, and her face was bright and radiant with a faint smile.
This was the first time Fang Mingxu saw Jiang Shu wearing women's clothing. After putting on makeup, Jiang Shu was as beautiful as a fairy, gentle and dignified. Her temperament was completely different from that of men's clothing, and he almost didn't recognize her.
But that face was too familiar, and Fang Mingxu couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Boss Fang." Jiang Shu's smile faded, and his expression was indifferent.
Fang Mingxu wore a golden crown on his head, a blue silk dress with gold edges, a jade belt around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand. His handsome face always had a smile on his face, and he looked like a gentle, elegant and easy-going nobleman.
But Jiang Shu knew very well that this was an insidious and deadly poisonous snake.
Not wanting to say more to Fang Mingxu, Jiang Shu took Jiang's mother's arm and left. Fang
Mingxu came back to his senses and felt a little regretful.
Fang's mother didn't understand and was still nagging.
"I've come here today to ask for a marriage for you. You must be sincere. You are nearly thirty years old, and the girl born to your concubine is four years old. It's time for you to get married."
"That's right, mother." Fang Mingxu responded, and then his eyes flashed: "What do you think of the girl just now?"
"The one just now?" Fang's mother turned around and stood on the stone steps to look down.
Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother walked down the stone steps and were walking towards the Jiang family's carriage. Her back was graceful and her figure was slender. Every step she took was appropriate and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Whose daughter is that?" Fang's mother didn't know Jiang Shu's identity and thought she was a daughter of a noble family.
Fang Mingxu waved his folding fan and said, "The new boss of Jiang's, Jiang Shu."
"She is the female boss of Jiang's?" Fang's mother was shocked.
A few days ago, Jiang Shu took over Jiang Ji and became a female boss, which shocked the Shangjing business circle.
Seeing Jiang Shu today, Fang's mother was even more shocked.
Such a pretty girl can actually be in charge of a business, which is really amazing.
"But she is divorced." Fang's mother frowned slightly.
If she was an innocent girl, Jiang Ji and Fang's marriage would be a good match.
But a woman who has been married, no matter how good she is, is a little inferior. Marrying her as a wife always makes people feel uncomfortable.
Fang Mingxu looked at the
beautiful figure from a distance, his eyes firm: "Son doesn't mind." Fang Mingxu had seen through all the concubines who had been in the flower garden for many years. Compared with those so-called innocent mediocre women, unique beauties are hard to find.
Besides, if he marries Jiang Shu, he can get Jiang's business without any effort, killing two birds with one stone.
"Do you really like her?" Fang's mother asked, pinching her hands.
Fang's father died of illness a few years ago, and Fang Mingxu is already the head of the Fang family. If he makes up his mind, no one can stop him.
Fang Mingxu was about to speak when he suddenly saw Jiang Shu seemed to have an argument with someone.
"Mother, I'll go and see later." Fang Mingxu put away his folding fan and walked down the stairs quickly.
In front of the mountain gate full of carriages, Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother, accompanied by Tan Yu and the maid, walked towards the Jiang family's carriage.
There were too many carriages today, and the road was crowded. Jiang's mother's maid was almost hit by an oncoming carriage.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, it was just a false alarm. Jiang Shu and her mother thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so as not to offend the noble and get into trouble.
Just as they were about to leave peacefully, someone in the car opened the curtain and saw them, and called out.
"Jiang Shu."
Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Shu looked up and met Shen Changze's surprised eyes.
What bad luck!
The car door opened, and Shen Changze and his mother walked out of the car.
"My dear, Shu'er. What a coincidence that you are here to burn incense too." Shen's mother greeted Jiang's mother Jiang Shu with a big smile on her face.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, not understanding what Shen's mother was up to.
But they knew one thing, that is, they didn't want to have anything to do with Jing'an Marquis' Mansion anymore.
"Mrs. Shen, please respect yourself. The Jiang family has no connection with the Marquis' Mansion." Mother Jiang said coldly and pulled Jiang Shu away.
Shen Changze and Shen's mother stopped them from leaving.
"Don't worry, dear relatives. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat."
Jiang Shu was shocked by Shen's mother's shamelessness when she heard this.
"I don't know Mrs. Shen well. I have nothing to say. Please move aside." Jiang's mother spoke bluntly, with disgust written all over her face.
Anyone with a bit of shame would have avoided it at this time.
But Shen's mother didn't know what was wrong with her today. She smiled shamelessly but refused
to move aside. She poked Shen Changze's arm, signaling him to speak.
Shen Changze glanced at the pilgrims coming and going around, clasped his hands and said bravely: "Jiang Shu, I have something to say to you."
Looking at Shen Changze with cold apricot eyes, Jiang Shu said sarcastically: "Marquis Shen and I have nothing to say."
She didn't know what Shen Changze was crazy about today, but seeing more and more curious people watching, she just wanted to leave quickly.
Facing Jiang Shu's ruthless expression, Shen Changze felt a little confused and turned red with annoyance.
Just as he was about to speak, a man in silk clothes came out from behind Jiang Shu.
"Young Lord Shen is so busy with things, yet you still don't forget your filial piety to accompany your mother and worship the Buddha. It's really admirable."
Fang Mingxu deliberately shouted loudly, revealing Shen Changze's identity to attract the attention of others.
"Hey, it's really Marquis Shen and Madam Shen, I thought I was seeing things."
"The girl in front of Marquis Shen looks so familiar... isn't that the former marquis's wife?"
"What's going on? It's been more than half a year since the divorce, but Marquis Shen still won't let go?"
