Dingdang finally changed her clothes. In the cubicle, she accidentally tied a knot that was now a dead knot, and it took her a while to finally untie it.
Fortunately, Jiang Yunjiao did not gain any advantage over her young mistress, otherwise she would have definitely come out with her sword and scared Jiang Yunjiao out of her wits.
Seeing Dingdang wearing that cute pink dress, Jiang Luoluo smiled and said softly, "It suits you very well."
Dingdang was embarrassed by the compliment, scratched her head, and grinned. Jiang Luoluo picked out a few more dresses from the shelf and handed them to her: "Go, try these on too."
At this moment, the woman in the white dress walked over, holding a card in her hand, and handed it to Jiang Luoluo with a smile: "Miss Jiang, thank you for your help just now."
Jiang Luoluo took the card, her expression calm, and said softly, "It was nothing, shopkeeper, you flatter me."
The woman laughed heartily, then took Jiang Luoluo's hand and said in a friendly tone, "Don't be so polite. My name is Xiao Yunwei. I'm a few years older than you. You can just call me Sister Yunwei."
I've always longed for a lovable little sister like you, but unfortunately, my parents only gave me a mischievous little brother.
Jiang Luoluo smiled faintly and sweetly called out, "Sister Yunwei!"
The two chatted happily, as if they had known each other for a long time. Xiao Yunwei simply pulled Jiang Luoluo to sit down, and the two women chatted while drinking tea. Soon, the young girl served delicate snacks and hot tea.
Xiao Yunwei is a straightforward and unpretentious person. She told Jiang Luoluo many stories about her trip to Jiangnan to select fabrics.
Her words were vivid and interesting, making Jiang Luolu laugh repeatedly, and her goodwill towards this newly acquainted older sister increased.
Dingdang picked out her dresses, and Jiang Luoluo also chose a few suitable ones.
When Jiang Gan entered the clothing store, he saw two girls holding hands and chatting happily.
"Luo Luo!" Jiang Gan called softly, her tone gentle.
Jiang Luoluo looked up and saw that it was her older brother. A sweet smile bloomed on her face: "Big brother, are you done with your work?"
Jiang Gan, waving his folding fan, strode forward with an air of elegance. His gaze swept over the clothes on the table, and he said with a smile, "What nice things have you picked out? Brother, let's settle the bill!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xiao Yunwei, and he nodded slightly in greeting.
Xiao Yunwei stared at Jiang Gan for a moment, her eyes filled with amazement, a smile playing on her lips. "This is Young Master Jiang? Truly extraordinary."
Feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, Jiang Gan awkwardly cleared his throat and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Miss Xiao Er."
Xiao Yunwei was the second daughter of the Hanlin Academy and also Xiao Lingchuan's second elder sister.
Jiang Gan and Xiao Lingchuan had studied together at the Imperial Academy and were close friends, so he had met Xiao Yunwei several times.
Xiao Yunwei has always been cheerful and generous. Unlike ordinary young ladies, she has never liked playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, but prefers to do business and make money.
She had long heard of Jiang Gan's name from her third brother, Xiao Lingchuan. It was said that this young master Jiang had already made his business all over the Great Qi Dynasty at the young age of twenty, and was a rare genius in the business world.
Upon seeing him in person, her eyes were filled with admiration. She curtsied slightly and said, "Young Master Jiang, your business acumen is extraordinary. I admire you greatly. If I have the time in the future, I hope to receive some guidance from you."
As Jiang Gan took out a silver note and handed it to the shop assistant, he said with a humble smile, "Miss Xiao, you flatter me. If I have some free time another day, I will definitely discuss the way of business with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunwei's eyes lit up with anticipation. She watched as Jiang Gan finished paying the bill and left with Jiang Luoluo. She reluctantly saw them off to the shop's door.
Upon seeing the two emerge, Xie Yizhi immediately dismounted, and Jiang Luoluo greeted them with a smile.
She handed Xie Yizhi a belt embroidered with green bamboo that she had just picked out at the clothing shop, and said gently, "Thank you, Your Highness, for having Physician Hu treat me a few days ago. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive."
Xie Yizhi smiled slightly and quickly took the belt. "Miss Jiang's kindness is so precious, how could I dare to refuse it?"
Jiang Gan, standing nearby, coughed lightly and teased, "Oh, little sister, you've forgotten your brother for the sake of beauty?"
Jiang Luoluo blushed and looked at her older brother reproachfully, "Big brother, don't make fun of Luoluo. I picked out an outfit for you too."
At this moment, no one noticed that on the second floor of the restaurant, by the window, Jiang Yunjiao's eyes were filled with resentment as she stared intently at the harmonious scene on the street.
Xie Yizhi refused to accept her purse, but accepted Jiang Luoluo's belt instead!
Yao Shiyu took in all of this, quietly moved closer, and whispered her idea in Jiang Yunjiao's ear.
Jiang Yunjiao's eyes lit up, and she asked in a low voice, "Cousin, is this feasible?"
Yao Shiyu smiled slightly, "Of course! Prince Yi is worthy of a celestial beauty like you."
As for Jiang Luoluo, she's nothing but a discarded bride; how could she possibly be worthy of clinging to Prince Yi?
Jiang Yunjiao smiled smugly, "My cousin is right."

After Jiang Gan and Jiang Luoluo returned to the General Weiyuan's mansion, Jiang Gan took some gifts and went to the residence of the Vice Minister of Revenue.
"Second Uncle! Second Aunt!" Jiang Gan called out warmly, then handed over the gifts.
"You're back!" Jiang Muyan stepped forward and patted Jiang Gan on the shoulder. Lu Baimei nodded slightly.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group sat down to drink tea. Jiang Gan casually remarked, "Today, while out having a drink with some friends, I overheard the guests talking about a spoiled and willful young lady from the household of the Vice Minister of Revenue."
In a fit of anger, I stepped forward and argued with them. My second uncle and aunt are both reasonable people; their daughter must be well-mannered, dignified, and graceful. How could she be as ill-mannered as they claim?
