Chapter 70 It must be safe there
Jiang Xue walked forward and took Su Yu's outstretched hand, saying with a smile: "The clothes I bought from you are very popular with my sisters. Today, the maid went out to buy some needlework and rouge, and I followed her out. I thought I would come here to thank you."
Su Yu was very happy, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face. She took Jiang Xue's hand and walked towards Yawu Cottage.
"The store is crowded, I'll take my sister home for some tea."
Jiang Xue nodded and signaled Fu Dong, Xu Chong and Gan Ning to follow.
"I always feel that I am very compatible with you. If you like it, I will keep any new styles in the store for you to try."
Jiang Xue was pleasantly surprised and said, "That's great. Thank you so much, Sister Su Yu!"
Su Yu looked at her cute and innocent appearance and said lovingly, "You look like my little sister at home. You are well-behaved and cute, and you have a soft personality. You are very likable."
Jiang Xue was a little surprised. She had never heard that Su Yu had any sisters. She only knew that he had a younger brother. For the sake of his younger brother, his parents wanted to sell her to a wealthy family as a concubine.
"Sister, you have sisters at home. Have you brought them to Jijing?"
Su Yu's eyes suddenly showed sadness, and his voice became soft and distant: "Yes, if she were still alive...she would be as tall as you now."
Seeing this, Jiang Xue quickly said, "I don't know... I'm sorry, sister—"
Su Yu chuckled, interrupting her self-blame, and said softly, "It's okay, ignorance is not a crime. My sister had a miserable life. When she was eight years old, she caught a cold and had a high fever. Our family was already poor, and my father didn't want to spend more money on a daughter, so he insisted that she was infected with an epidemic. While my mother and I were sleeping, he threw her into a mass grave at night."
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she gently rubbed the back of Jiang Xue's hand with her fingertips, saying, "Don't mention it, don't mention it."
Jiang Xue sighed softly, barely audible.
The two arrived at Yawu Cottage. Seeing that He Zhilin was not there, Jiang Xue asked, "Where is Brother Yan?"
"He told me this morning that he was on a house call. He is a kind-hearted man. If a poor family has to travel a long way and cannot afford a carriage, he will go to their home to treat them personally."
Seeing this, Jiang Xue directly stated her purpose. She said to Su Yu, "Sister Su Yu, I want to open a clinic for Brother Yan."
Su Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Oh? Is he willing?"
Jiang Xue shook her head and continued, "This matter was actually entrusted by the elders of my family. His father and the elders of my family saved his life, and our two families have been friends for many years. In order to repay them and for the future of the son of an old friend, my family wanted to buy a good shop in the capital so that he could practice medicine."
Su Yu said: "I have thought about this before, but he declined several times..."
"It's okay, sister, just help me, I have my own way to make him agree." Jiang Xue said firmly, "After all, I just arrived in Jijing not long ago, and I'm not familiar with the area here. I would like to trouble you to pick a shop for me in the north of the city. I want to buy it."
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "If he agrees, I will be happy to see it happen. Leave this matter to me."
Jiang Xue turned around and nodded slightly to Fu Dong, who then took out five hundred taels of silver from his sleeve.
Jiang Xue said to Su Yu, "I'm going to leave these banknotes with you for the time being. When I find a shop in the future, all the expenses for shopping and decoration will be paid from these banknotes. I also want you to help me hire some pharmacists and doctors, and put all the money in these banknotes to help them with everything."
Su Yu laughed and said, "Third sister, what does your family do to be so rich? Last time you asked this girl to give me money, saying it was to apologize to that Master Ji, but you haven't touched a cent so far. Besides, Master Yan has done me a favor, so I will pay for the cost of this shop."
Jiang Xue shook her head, stuffed the banknote into her hand, and pleaded, "This is what the elders in my family want, and it's also what I want to do... Sister, please give me this opportunity - if this shop can open and make a profit in the future, I can also get some dividends, right?"
Seeing her insistence, Su Yu smiled, raised his hand and poked her forehead, and said, "You, the brother of the Yan family, don't rely on this to make money. You still want a share of the profits, so it's good enough if you don't put in any money."
Jiang Xue smiled innocently and said, "I'm not afraid, my family is rich."
"If you really want to make money on your own, if I find a good business in the future, I might as well take you with me to try it out." Su Yu said with a smile.
"Really?" Jiang Xue thought, it seemed like it would be a good idea to build up her own business. Although she had an annual salary and a fiefdom, they were all rewards from her father after all. If she could learn business skills with the help of Su Yu, it would be good to have many skills.
So she nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, I have money."
Su Yu laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He kept shaking his head and said, "You really are..."
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Jiang Xue stood up to say goodbye.
Su Yu asked hurriedly: "If the shop business is done, where can I find you?"
Jiang Xue was in a dilemma. Now she only had the Gu Mansion as her home outside the palace. She thought that she would have to buy another house privately.
Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "Sister, don't worry. I want to come and play with you more often. I will definitely make sure you can find me."
Seeing this, Su Yu also understood and nodded with a smile.
After leaving Yawu Cottage, Fu Dong asked, "Your Highness, shall we go directly back to Gu Mansion?"
Jiang Xue said in a deep voice: "Go to Wanbao Tower."
Fu Dong didn't dare to ask more questions. He just leaned out and whispered instructions to Xu Chong, then sat back next to Jiang Xue.
"Ruan Yisui... is not at Yawu Villa, and no one knows where he went." Jiang Xue was still in deep thought, muttering in a low voice.
I guess he must have discovered something.
Jiang Xue said to Fu Dong, "I will go to Wanbao Tower in a while. If I can find Ji Yan, I will discuss something with him. You can ask Xu Chong and Gan Ning to take you to buy some rouge and needlework. Don't go back empty-handed."
Fu Dong was stunned and said, "How can this be possible? We must leave someone to protect His Highness."
Jiang Xue secretly grasped the hairpin in her sleeve and said, "It's okay, it must be safe there."
After a while, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Wanbao Tower.
Jiang Xue looked out of the car window, somewhat puzzled. Today, Wanbaolou was not closed, but open for business. People were coming and going, and many carriages of dignitaries were parked at the door.
She said to Fudong, "Put on the veil."
The two put on their veils and got out of the carriage. Jiang Xue whispered to Xu Chong, "Drive the carriage to any nearby business. Don't stop at the door, so that people won't recognize it as the Gu family's carriage. Fu Dong will come to look for you later."
Xu Chong nodded, exchanged glances with Gan Ning, and drove away in silence.
Jiang Xue and Fu Dong entered the building and saw many servants. Fu Dong called one of them at random.
The servant immediately stepped forward and asked, "What would you like to see, sir? I will take you there."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Fu Dong took out a few gold beads and stuffed them into his hands.
The servant was overjoyed and was about to thank him, but Jiang Xue said in a deep voice, "I want to see Ji Yan."
The servant was stunned, looked the two up and down, his face hesitant.
Jiang Xue said: "Tell him that Jiang San is looking for him."
The servant thought for a moment and said, "Then you two wait a moment."
He immediately raised his legs and went upstairs.
Ji Yan, who was in the room upstairs, heard the servant coming to deliver the message and said, "Bring the girl up here safely."
He turned around and smiled at the purple figure standing by the window:
"It's true that a day without seeing you feels like a long time. Isn't it time for my beauty to come and see you?"
