Chapter 136 It’s time for us to come
Jiang Xue looked puzzled and asked, "How come Ji Yan has started a clothing business? Doesn't his Wanbaolou sell rare treasures?"
Su Yu covered his face and chuckled, saying, "Third sister Jiang may not know that the owner of Jiyan Tower is indeed a bit eccentric. He likes to collect all the strange and bizarre things in the world that he has never seen before. Wanbao Tower is said to be a business, but it is more like a warehouse for him to collect things, just like an exhibition hall. Even if you don't buy anything, you can just go in and take a look and praise the exquisite things, and he will appreciate it."
Jing Ye nodded and said, "In that case, I will go to his place in the next few days. I have to thank my wife for this. My wife is very broad-minded. She is not like some petty people who would judge others by their own standards after hearing a few words."
Jiang Xue frowned slightly. When did he become so talkative? He Zhilin only said a few words to him, why did he keep harping on it?
Seeing He Zhilin's gloomy face, she quickly said to Jing Ye, "Uncle, you didn't get drunk today, so why are you saying things that are so confusing? If you continue like this, I will definitely not bring you out with me next time."
Jiang Qibin was asking two maids to bring tea and food over when he was dumbfounded when he heard Jiang Xue call him cousin.
Seeing that the food had arrived, Su Yu was busy trying to ease the atmosphere, so he smiled at Jiang Qibin and said, "Brother Jiang, why are you still in a daze? I bought some delicious food today, why don't you come over here quickly and have someone put it down so that we can eat together."
Jiang Qibin came back to his senses and waved his hands. He was not brave enough to eat at the same table with Jiang Xue. He said hurriedly, "No, no. I... I have some food in my stomach. I really can't eat anymore. I'll go out and take a walk to help digest it."
After saying this, he waved to the servants to bring snacks and tea.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Since it's indigestion, the sweet-scented osmanthus and sour jujube tea made by Aunt Zheng is the best for digestion and appetite. Have a cup of it. By the way, these two people you don't recognize yet are our Master Yan's guests."
She nodded to Jiang Xue and Jing Ye and said, "This young man Jiang is a distant cousin of Master Yan's family. He came here to live after he came to the capital."
Jiang Xue's mouth twitched, and she said awkwardly, "Okay, so that's how it is. I met this young man last time when I came here with my sister, and I thought he was very... simple and kind."
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered and said with a smile: "I actually forgot that you have met before. Brother Jiang, come over quickly. The man next to the third sister is her cousin, whose surname is Ji."
When Jiang Qibin heard this, his expression was even funnier than Jiang Xue's. He swallowed unconsciously and stuttered, "Hehe... cousin, uncle, you are really... quite young."
Jing Ye was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to tell what expression was on his face, but he behaved calmly and said to Jiang Qibin, "Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence, we are all distant relatives. But you look very young, I wonder what kind of relative you are?"
Jiang Xue kicked Jing Ye angrily and glared at him, signaling him to talk less.
"Since we have such a fate, Brother Jiang, please sit down and join us, and taste the delicious food that Sister Su Yu keeps praising." Jiang Xue said to Jiang Qibin, nodding for him to sit down.
Jiang Qibin was extremely reluctant, but since Jiang Xue had spoken, he had no choice but to sit down reluctantly.
Su Yu pointed at the snacks on the table and said to Jiang Xue with a smile, "Try them quickly. These Hehe pastries and pine nut and chestnut cakes are the best-selling cakes in his shop. They taste very good when eaten with this tea."
Jiang Xue smiled along and ate the cake absentmindedly. Jing Ye poured her some tea and repeatedly told her to eat slowly, which made Su Yu laugh secretly.
Jiang Xue just kept thinking about what she learned today. It was like chewing wax, and she couldn't taste anything at all. Seeing Jing Ye adding more and more tea, she subconsciously reached out and held his hand, and whispered, "Okay, I really can't drink any more."
Her subconscious tone was a little coquettish, and Jiang Qibin, who was drinking sour jujube tea, was so scared that he choked on his throat and started coughing violently.
Jiang Xue came to her senses and realized that something was wrong. She immediately pulled her hand back, nodded apologetically to Jing Ye, and said, "I was distracted for a moment. I'm sorry for being so abrupt."
Jing Ye quickly held her hand as she tried to withdraw it, and said, "We are already related, why should we be so particular about this."
At this moment, Jiang Qibin just wanted to leave the table or dig out his eyes.
After all, people who know too many things usually don’t live long!
He looked at He Zhilin for help with tears in his eyes, but saw that He Zhilin's brows were deeply furrowed, and his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, almost blue and white.
No matter how dull Jiang Qibin was, he had roughly figured out some things at this time.
It’s a mess. It’s really a mess.
He suddenly stood up, his face flushed, and shouted, "The kitchen, the kitchen still needs help, you guys sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look!"
Then he fled from the yard.
Su Yu covered his mouth and laughed non-stop, saying: "Third sister Jiang, you and Master Ji get along really well. They have only known each other for a few days, but they have become so familiar with each other. I think the elders of the two families should be happy to see this."
She twisted a piece of white jade cake in her hand, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said to Jiang Xue: "I almost forgot to tell my sister! Master Yan's clinic is almost ready. We have picked an auspicious day, the day after tomorrow, to offer sacrifices to the gods and open it. Sister Jiang San, as the largest investor, must come to watch the ceremony and support."
"Oh?" Jing Ye turned his head and looked at Jiang Xue, and said lightly: "You are really kind-hearted. You are willing to open a clinic?"
Jiang Xue thought about it and realized that she had already made an appointment with Chong Dixian for the day after tomorrow, so she said, "I may not be free the day after tomorrow..."
"When you have time," Jing Ye said, "you promised to accompany me to tour Jijing, and we can go to the ceremony together."
Jiang Xue felt resentful in her heart: You are really good at "taking advantage of the situation".
She remained calm and smiled serenely, saying, "What time is it the day after tomorrow?"
Su Yu said, "The day after tomorrow afternoon, I picked the 15th hour, which is a good time. I was just about to say something, since Master Ji and Sister Jiang San are so close, it would be better if they could come together then."
Before Jiang Xue could speak, Jing Ye took over the conversation and said, "Sure."
He Zhilin looked gloomy and said, "It's just a small clinic. Why bother so many people?"
Su Yu advised, "The Prince Consort's residence will be presenting a plaque that day. It's possible that Prince Consort Gu or even Princess Changle will come, so you must not neglect them. Since Third Sister Jiang is the host, it's natural for her to be present."
Jiang Xue knew that Su Yu had good intentions, and wanted to bring her along to show off in front of the "noble man", but -
If Gu Lintan also went, wouldn't her identity be exposed?
Jiang Xue was hesitant, thinking about how to reject Su Yu, but then she heard Jing Ye say, "If that's the case, then we should come here."
The tone was full of amusement, as if he was watching the fun.
