Chapter 446 Even if there was no prince, I would not be with my cousin
After finishing her work, Jiang Wan returned home happily. The things in the Second Prince's wife's storehouse could temporarily soothe her wounded heart.
But she didn't expect that Xu Aluan was waiting for her. He was waiting there quietly, looking a little nervous.
Qiu Niang reminded Jiang Wan in a low voice, "Miss, Master Xu has been sitting here waiting for you since he came back."
"I understand. You go ahead and do your work."
Jiang Wan walked towards Xu Aluan. When the footsteps sounded, Xu Aluan looked at Jiang Wan in surprise.
"Sister Wan, you're back."
Xu Aluan's dark eyes were filled with joy. He stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for Jiang Wan.
"Cousin, are you waiting for me for something?"
After all, Jiang Wan is not the original owner, so in her eyes, Xu Aluan is just a stranger who exists in her memory.
Her straightforward words made Xu Aluan feel bitter in his heart. He raised his eyebrows and smiled gently.
"Sister Wan, you and I have become estranged."
Jiang Wan didn't respond. She didn't know how to respond. After all, she and Xu Aluan were not really familiar with each other.
Xu Aluan did not make things difficult for Jiang Wan, but took out a booklet from his sleeve.
"Sister Wan, I see that you are doing well and the prince still cares about you, so I can leave without any worries.
Before I came here, my father repeatedly told me to take good care of you, and I don’t have anything else.
The road is long and I may not be able to catch up with you for your wedding, so I have prepared some dowry for you."
No wonder he often leaves early and comes back late these days.
Jiang Wan looked at the booklet on the table in surprise, picked it up and saw that it was full of things written on it.
These things are not precious, but they are made with care and will be useful to her when she gets married.
Jiang Wan's heart swelled, and the corners of his eyes were a little bitter, "Cousin, I really have never blamed you."
Even the original owner never resented them.
Xu Aluan smiled gently, "I know, but this is my father's wish.
When he came, he gave me some banknotes. If you live well, these banknotes will be used as a subsidy for your dowry.
If you are not doing well, he asked me to take you back. This is all I can do."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands gently, and servants came in from the yard outside, carrying tables of things.
From large items like step-out beds to small items like handkerchiefs and silk scarves, they even prepared a lot of cloth and wooden bathtubs.
Xu Aluan introduced warmly, "Sister Wan, I have asked the matchmakers in the city.
These are the things a woman needs to prepare for her wedding. If there are not enough, you can ask the housekeeper in the mansion to buy more."
His tone was serious and his eyes were sincere. This was the first time that Jiang Wan felt the love between blood relatives since coming to Dafeng.
Her eyes were red, "Thank you, cousin. The day after tomorrow is the day for asking for names and exchanging engagement letters.
Please wait a few more days and help me hold the fort."
This time, she truly treated Xu Aluan as her cousin.
Xu Aluan smiled dotingly, "Of course, I have to wait until your affairs are settled before I can leave."
After exchanging the engagement letters, they need to observe for another three days. If no unfortunate events occur in the family, it means that the two of them are a match made in heaven.
The two can then formally discuss marriage and get engaged. The ancient process of three books and six ceremonies was very complicated.
Jiang Wan chuckled and said, "Well, I have a lot of things to do. If you are bored, I will let Qingshan accompany you more."
"Thank you for your concern, cousin."
Xu Aluan politely returned to his cousin's position, thinking that it was not appropriate for a single man and woman to get involved in more trouble.
He led the servants to put the things into the warehouse and left in a hurry.
Looking at his back, Qiu Niang couldn't help but sigh, "If there was no prince as a comparison, it would be a good match for the girl to marry the cousin."
"Qiuniang, be careful with your words."
Jiang Wan said in a serious tone, "Even without the prince, it would be impossible for my cousin and I to be together.
Go and count these things and put them into the dowry later."
She didn't put everything into the space, otherwise it would be too suspicious.
Hearing this, Qiu Niang quickly admitted her mistake, "I'm sorry, young lady, I was confused just now."
"Go ahead."
Jiang Wan didn't care too much, and Qiu Niang took the booklet to the warehouse.
Jiang Wan rubbed her swollen temples and turned to go into the house.
She was not worried at all that the Second Prince's wife would find fault with her. Firstly, they didn't know her true identity at all.
Secondly, they didn't dare to let Song Jiuyuan know that they had come to the city.
So Jiang Wan entered the space with confidence. The jade in the space was washed to be crystal clear.
Jiang Wan couldn't let go of it and stroked it lovingly. The ten boxes sent by Song Jiuyuan had basically been washed.
So after Jiang Wan had a big meal in the space, she put all the jade stones into the pharmacy next door early the next morning.
Before breakfast, she asked Qiu Niang to deliver the written letter to the palace.
"You must hand it over to the prince personally."
"OK."
Qiu Niang ran very fast. The palace was just opposite, and it only took a quarter of an hour to go back and forth.
Fuling carefully observed Jiang Wan and found that she was really not injured, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Chu said heartlessly: "It's all Song Jiuchi's fault. He calls me every day. I haven't exercised with Sister Jiang for a long time."
Song Jiuchi, who came with Song Jiuyuan, heard these words and was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Qi Chu, who said that he likes me to accompany you to rob the rich and help the poor?"
"Well...I'm done eating."
Qi Chu felt a little guilty and ran as fast as he could, while Song Jiuchi greeted Jiang Wan and hurriedly chased after him.
"Qi Chu, stop right there!"
The two funny guys disappeared in front of everyone. Jiang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Qiu Yan consciously added a set of bowls and chopsticks.
"Wanwan, I've already told Song Yi to bring people to move it later."
"good."
Jiang Wan used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of rice roll for him. Before he finished eating, Cheng Jin's noisy voice was heard.
"Song Jiuyuan, why do you always stay with Jiang Wan?"
He supported his Uncle Cheng, whose injuries had not yet fully healed. Uncle Cheng was worthy of being the head of the Cheng family in Kyoto.
Even though he was badly injured, he didn't have time to recover. When he heard Cheng Jin talking about the cold drinks made by Jiang Wan, he couldn't wait to come over.
Song Jiuyuan ignored Cheng Jin, but Fuling snorted.
"What are you humming?"
Cheng Jin helped Uncle Cheng to sit down in a familiar manner, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the rice roll.
"This is delicious, why haven't I eaten it before?"
"I think you just came here to eat for free."
Fuling exposed Cheng Jin's little thoughts, but Cheng Jin was thick-skinned and didn't think it was a big deal.
He said complacently: "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't know that Jiang Wan has more delicious food.
If you sell this thing, I'm sure a lot of people will like it, right?"
"Stop, I have a lot of business on hand."
Jiang Wan expressed her helplessness. Cheng Jinxin was really bold and wanted to get involved in everything.
Uncle Cheng, on the other hand, was much more understanding. "Xiao Jin, eat your food. I'll take care of the business."
Ice cubes are the most important business, and we cannot neglect one while focusing on the other.
"I see."
Cheng Jin ate breakfast happily and even burped, which made Fuling feel a little disgusted.
"You are a nobleman in Kyoto, but you look like you haven't eaten for 800 years."
Although she admitted that the food at Junior Master's house was indeed delicious, Cheng Jin was exaggerating too much!
