Chapter 366 Relief
Although she no longer had any connection with the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, she still had some friendship with Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao. Especially last year in Qi County, Shen Changhuai helped her.
Having been despised and ridiculed for many years, Jiang Shu knew that if Wang Yueyao had no help, it would be difficult for her to integrate into the official family circle in Shangjing, just like she had been doing in recent years.
This...
The couple looked at each other and finally accepted it with guilt.
"Thank you, Princess."
They understood that what they accepted was not only the brocade, but also Jiang Shu's friendship.
But they could not repay her, and they felt guilty.
Jiang Shu knew what they were thinking, so he put down his teacup and said, "When people interact with each other, it's about feelings and hearts. It's not business, so there's no need to worry about gains and losses."
Just like Yu Lan and Sun Yijun always helped her in the past, she couldn't give them anything in return, so she could only treat them with sincerity.
"What the princess said is right, we are shallow and narrow-minded." Wang Yueyao let out a long breath and was no longer upset.
She should have understood that Jiang Shu had never been a person who talked about benefits, whether it was the daughter of a merchant or the princess of the royal family.
Seeing that she had figured it out, Jiang Shu smiled and said, "Are the children and Aunt Liu all right?"
Wang Yueyao also smiled, "They are all fine. Aunt Liu often thinks of the princess, especially after returning to Beijing."
"The princess's great deeds are truly admirable and admirable. Women all over the world are proud of the princess."
After opening her heart, Wang Yueyao talked about the rumors she heard after returning to Beijing. Jiang Shu's eyes were full of admiration and yearning. There
are thousands of women in the world, and there are not a few who have great righteousness and ambition, but there are absolutely no women who can actually do what Jiang Shu did.
Not only do you need to have a heart full of righteousness, you must have strong financial support, but you must also have a shrewd mind and a strong character.
Shen Changhuai also said: "The princess's behavior is far better than that of a man."
Jiang Shu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, and cleared his throat and said: "I did what I could, Dazhao is also my home. Let's not talk about this, are you still living in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Jiang Shu changed the subject and asked about their resettlement.
Shen Changhuai nodded and said: "My elder brother and sister-in-law went to the border, and there is no one to support us in the Marquis' Mansion. My grandmother and others have no plans to separate the family, so we can only live back in the previous courtyard."
"The wife of Marquis Shen also went to the border?" Jiang Shu was slightly surprised, and immediately had a little respect for Cheng Jinchu.
The battlefield at the border is not a place for entertainment, and it is not something that ordinary women can go.
Putting aside personal grudges, Cheng Jinchu dared to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, which is still worthy of praise.
Wang Yueyao said: "I was originally worried about how to get along with her after returning to Beijing, but I didn't expect that she actually went to the border, which made me feel relieved."
She had never met Cheng Jinchu, but judging from Shen Changhuai's brief description, various rumors, and what Cheng Jinchu had done, he was probably not an easy person to get along with.
Apart from other things, just judging from the two things that forced Jiang Shu to divorce and caused Xu Lingyi to be unable to conceive again, Cheng Jinchu was not a good person.
"You and her have no conflict of interest, so you should be able to live in peace." Jiang Shu said softly.
Wang Yueyao sighed: "I hope so."
She has a calm temperament, does not like to compete with others, and cannot stand intrigue. She just wants to live a stable life. If possible, she hopes to separate from the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible.
But now there is only one male in the mansion, Shen Changhuai, to support the family, so it is impossible to split up the family.
Forget it, let's wait and see.
After a few simple words of family matters, Jiang Shu stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to pick out the silk."
Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao stood up immediately, and said nervously, "If the princess is busy, don't worry about us."
Jiang Shu smiled and said, "No matter how busy you are, there is no rush at this moment."
Having said that, the two of them couldn't refuse anymore, so they had to follow Jiang Shu to choose.
The silks were arranged according to grades. Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao only picked from the last pile of silks, and after hesitating for a while, they picked two.
Jiang Shu couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the initiative to choose for them.
"These three are of calm colors and simple patterns, suitable for Changhuai. These ones are bright but not ostentatious, just right for you. This one is suitable for Aunt Liu, and yes, the children..."
Jiang Shu was meticulous and thoughtful, and picked out everything for their family.
Wang Yueyao looked at the pile of clothes that Jiang Shu had picked out and exclaimed, "Too many, we don't need so many, Aunt and the children don't leave the house..."
"Yuyao, this is my intention, just this once." Jiang Shu stared at her with his eyes closed.
Wang Yueyao looked at her, unable to say anything, only touched with gratitude.
Shen Changhuai opened his mouth and uttered "Thank you."
Seeing that they were no longer refusing, Jiang Shu called Xiu Niang to measure them.
Jiang Shu was very sensible, knowing that Shen Changhuai's official rank should not be too eye-catching, so he deliberately chose a medium-grade one.
Wang Yueyao thought of Jiang Shu's thoughtfulness and consideration. She felt sorry for losing her elder sister-in-law again, but was sincerely happy for her new life.
After the two of them were measured and the style was decided, Jiang Shu personally saw them off.
Before getting on the carriage, Shen Changhuai turned around and took a deep look at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu waved to him, gentle and bright.
Just like when he was exiled from Beijing many years ago, Jiang Shu stood in front of the gate of Jing'an Marquis Mansion to see him off.
Shen Changhuai smiled back, feeling relieved.
No matter what the world is like or what her status is, in his heart, Jiang Shu will always be his elder sister-in-law.
Watching the carriage merge into the crowd on the long street, Jiang Shu turned around and continued to patrol the shops.
In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the eleventh month. Jiang Shu and Jiang's father checked the accounts of each shop, and Jiang's father prepared to leave for the south to do business.
After lunch, Jiang's father considered and explained to Jiang's mother.
As the father and daughter expected, Jiang's mother was very excited and reacted strongly.
"If you must go, then I will go with you. Anyway, I am worried and uneasy if you go alone."
Jiang's father said with a headache: "You have never been far away from home. You are well-fed and can't stand the fatigue of traveling. You will only cause me trouble if you follow me. I have been doing business for so many years, and there has only been that one accident, and it was man-made."
"Now that they are all dead, what are you still worried about? Can they turn into ghosts to harm me?"
"Yes." Jiang's mother answered, her eyes red and wet.
Although the ghosts and gods are illusory, she couldn't afford to take the risk.
"You are totally unreasonable." Jiang's father clapped his hands helplessly, turned to look at Jiang Shu, and signaled her to persuade Jiang's mother. His
almond eyes flashed, and Jiang Shu said, "I think mother's worry is reasonable."
What?
Jiang's father widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Shu in disbelief.
Didn't you say that you would help him persuade him? Why did you turn against him in the middle of the battle?
Seeing Jiang Shu standing on her side, Jiang's mother breathed a sigh of relief and felt better. She said to Jiang's father angrily, "You don't listen to me, and you don't listen to Shu'er either?"
Jiang's father was anxious and stared at Jiang Shu, "Why are you..."
Jiang Shu gave Jiang's father a calm look and said seriously, "So we have to go to Zhaojue to ask for a peace amulet and a ghost-repelling amulet. In this way, Dad will be safe and sound, and immune to all ghosts."
Jiang's father's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he secretly praised in his heart: Great.
Why didn't he think of it!
Jiang's mother was stunned and even forgot to be angry.
