Chapter 112: Hiding behind the screen and listening openly
Inside the inn.
Jiang Yunyao dressed up with the help of Mrs. Zhou.
Looking at the "expensive white porridge" on the table, Jiang Yunyao had no appetite at all.
When I was at the Prime Minister's Mansion, although I didn't have delicacies every day, I did have a variety of side dishes and desserts...
Now...what's the difference between you and a beggar?
How could Mrs. Zhou not know what Jiang Yunyao was thinking? She patiently persuaded Jiang Yunyao to drink a bowl of white porridge.
Today the prefect opened the granary to distribute grain and set up a tent to distribute porridge. The coachman and several accompanying guards were sent by Jiang Yunyao to get the porridge.
After experiencing so many things along the way, Jiang Yunyao valued the money in her hands even more.
She knew that without money, it would be difficult to move forward outside.
Given the current situation, you might starve to death without silver.
After the master and servant left the inn, seeing that it was still early, they decided to find out about the situation in Jizhou first.
Jiang Yunyao felt that the imperial edict to open the granaries and release grain had arrived.
Disaster relief officials should be arriving soon...
Given my father's position in the court, he will definitely be able to take on this disaster relief mission.
So, she just needs to wait patiently in Jizhou City.
Jiang Yunyao and the other person were unfamiliar with the place and didn't dare to run too far.
They just walked aimlessly on the street.
Jiang Yunyao looked at the unfamiliar place, and a sense of loneliness arose spontaneously...
This time she came to Jizhou with great tenacity.
Moreover, she didn't leave herself any way out.
If I'm not mistaken, the emperor has already granted marriage to Xiao Mocheng and Tang Shihuan by now!
Humph! That bitch Tang Shihuan got away with it.
Forget it, since she doesn’t want it anyway, just give her the position of Crown Princess as alms!
When Jiang Yunyao heard the people talking about Jiangji Grain Shop, which sold affordable grain, a trace of doubt flashed through her mind.
Affordable food?
Jiangji...grain shop?
Under the current circumstances, any grain store owner would be eager to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!
Where did the owner of this Jiangji Grain Store come from?
He is so wise.
She looked at the Jiangji Grain Shop not far away and decided to go over and take a look...
As Mrs. Zhou watched him walk further and further away, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.
It's so hot, why run so far?
She grabbed Jiang Yunyao and couldn't help but remind her, "Miss, don't forget the important matter today."
Jiang Yunyao slowly stopped when she heard that.
Yeah, I almost forgot about this.
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin stood at the window on the second floor of the grain shop, watching their backs as they left, and looked at each other.
"Ruoruo, everything has been arranged at the teahouse. Let's go early and come back early."
Jiang Ruo chuckled, revealing a troubled expression, "Uh, is it not good for me to eavesdrop from behind the screen?"
Xiao Chengjin stroked her palm, "Then listen openly."
Jiang Ruo straightened her neck and said proudly, "No, what if Jiang Yunyao sees me and doesn't tell the truth?"
Hey! It’s not too late to show up after listening.
Just consider it as a "surprise" for Jiang Yunyao.
Xiao Chengjin understood Jiang Ruo's little thoughts very well.
He agreed with a smile on his face, "Ruoruo's words make a lot of sense. Then you can hide behind the screen and listen openly."
"Oh well!"
Jiang Ruo listened to the pleasant and pleasing words and immediately gave Xiao Chengjin a kiss as a reward.
So the two of them took a shortcut and entered the teahouse early.
The window on the second floor of the teahouse's private room.
Jiang Ruo hid behind Xiao Chengjin, looked at the master and servant who were slowly approaching, and rubbed her hands excitedly.
Just as the master and servant were about to go upstairs, Jiang Ruo ran behind the screen and sat down.
Xiao Chengjin looked at the person sitting behind the screen and smiled dotingly.
When he heard light footsteps outside, the expression on his face turned cold.
Before Jiang Yunyao entered the teahouse, she saw the handsome face in the window.
At that moment, a hint of joy flashed through her heart.
Just as she expected, Xiao Chengjin came obediently.
Jiang Yunyao stood at the door of the private room and looked at Xiao Chengjin who was standing with his hands behind his back. After staying outside the door for a while, she mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
"Boom..."
"Enter!"
After Xiao Chengjin secretly glanced at the person behind the screen, he walked to the round table with a cold face and sat down. Then, he poured himself a cup of tea.
Jiang Yunyao entered the private room and looked at the round stool two steps away, and immediately understood the meaning.
Xiao Chengjin is... asking her to sit farther away from him.
For a moment, Jiang Yunyao didn't know what to do and stood there at a loss.
To be honest, when she saw Xiao Chengjin's icy face, she felt a little scared from the bottom of her heart...
It is said that men like gentle women, but for Xiao Chengjin, it is not necessarily the case.
Such a man is not something that an ordinary woman can conquer.
Mrs. Zhou outside the door was afraid that the secret Jiang Yunyao was telling would be overheard by outsiders, so she wanted to go forward and close the door.
Before she even took a step, she was frightened away by Xiao Chengjin's icy look.
Xiao Chengjin glanced at Mrs. Zhou and slowly uttered a few words, "Go wait outside the teahouse."
Such an overwhelming pressure made Mrs. Zhou stagger. She said tremblingly, "Miss..."
"Madam Zhou, go wait outside the teahouse." After Jiang Yunyao finished speaking, she walked straight to the round stool and sat down.
"Yes, miss." Mrs. Zhou wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned to leave.
You can hear a pin drop in the private room.
Xiao Chengjin didn't want to talk to Jiang Yunyao at all, and sat there with a cold face.
Jiang Yunyao had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.
She pursed her lips and nervously twisted the handkerchief in her hand.
Jiang Ruo, hiding behind the screen, was waiting so anxiously!
He wanted to jump out and kick Xiao Chengjin a few times.
You bastard, why don't you speak up!
Just when Xiao Chengjin was about to give up waiting, Jiang Yunyao spoke...
Jiang Yunyao thought about it and decided to tell it in a way that predicted the future.
She glanced warily at the door and whispered, "Mr. Xiao, what I'm going to say next is true, whether you believe it or not."
Xiao Chengjin nodded, motioning for her to continue.
Jiang Yunyao relaxed a little after seeing Xiao Chengjin nod.
"I fell and was injured not long ago. While I was unconscious, I gained the ability to predict the future..."
Xiao Chengjin put down the teacup in his hand and said disapprovingly: "Let's start from after the exile!"
Jiang Yunyao was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
The ability to predict the future!
Why did he act so calm and composed?
