Is my family here?
Jiang Yuzhu instantly gained confidence. She no longer paid any attention to Xie Zhao, nor did she say another word. She turned around and left mercilessly.
Liang An tutted his words and said, "Master, you don't know how many young ladies in the capital are waiting to marry you. You've been married for three years, and those young ladies still haven't given up. How come Madam doesn't have any attachment to you?"
After all, we live under the same roof and are close to each other.
Jiang Yuzhu was just being polite on the surface and really treated Xie Zhao as a partner.
Liang An concluded that being husband and wife in name only is useless; they must also be husband and wife in reality.
"For example, Miss Wei, when she saw me today, she was still trying to get information about you in a tactful way."
Liang An felt a little sorry. Wei Jing was beautiful and talented, and she was the daughter of a wealthy family. She was obviously a good match for the Xie family.
Miss Wei hasn't married yet, which means she hasn't given up.
"Liang An, be careful with your words!"
Xie Zhao stood by the window with a cold look in his eyes.
He and Wei Jing were innocent and there was absolutely no romantic relationship between them.
Liang An was a little confused, so he said bluntly: "You don't know the rumors in the capital. It is said that you and Miss Wei are in love with each other, so you ignore Madam."
In addition, Wei Jing never refuted and rejected several marriage proposals, so the rumors became more and more intense.
Xie Zhao's temperament became even colder, his angular face was expressionless, and his dark eyes were unfathomable: "Since you believe the rumors, why not listen to the latest news."
The latest rumor is that Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu went to a brothel to have fun together, and it had nothing to do with Wei Jing.
Liang An realized it later and covered his mouth with his hands. He seemed to have discovered something!
Could it be that the master is no longer only concerned with government affairs and has finally started to care about his wife?
On the other side, Jiang Yuzhu held up the hem of her skirt and ran towards the main courtyard with joy.
She couldn't hide her smile as she was about to see her relatives.
There were several carriages parked outside the hanging flower gate.
Jiang Fulu brought the entire Chen family, including Xiao Jinbao.
"Yuzhu, your father heard that you were leaving tomorrow morning, so he prepared New Year's goods overnight."
The few carriages outside the door are just a small part.
There were more things that were difficult to carry because of the inner city curfew, and Chen kept complaining along the way.
"You like the walnut cakes and almond bars made by the cook in our house, so I brought them to you."
The more Chen looked at her daughter, the more she liked her. She even liked Jiang Yuzhu's hair.
Jiang Fulu also said: "Yuzhu, it's Daddy who is useless. After receiving the news, Daddy went to the palace to see the emperor. The emperor..."
Jiang Fulu wanted to plead for his daughter, but the emperor not only didn't even show up, but also issued an imperial decree to put a final stop to the matter.
"Little sister, do you want me to accompany you?"
Jiang Huaiqing has businesses in various places, so he will make sure everything is arranged properly.
The small counties surrounding the capital are full of local tyrants and are far more chaotic than in the south.
When Jiang Yuzhu left Beijing, the Jiang family was both reluctant and worried about her.
Before New Year's Eve, the whole family gathered together.
Little Jinbao was held in Jiang Yuzhu's arms and said sensibly, "Aunt, Jinbao wants to accompany you too."
Jiang Yuzhu was just going out for a trip, but in the eyes of her family, it seemed like she was suffering a lot. Her reluctance was quickly overcome by her family, and not a trace of it remained.
Jiang Yuzhu ordered the maid to take out the New Year gifts for her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about me. I've spent New Year's holidays in the capital before, and I'm tired of seeing all those sights. Now that I have the chance to go out of the capital, it's good to go for a walk."
Several carriages full of New Year’s goods come from the heavy love of the family.
Although Jiang Yuzhu was reborn as a cannon fodder who died early, she felt lucky because the family love she received was not mixed with any interests.
Jiang Fulu and Chen kept muttering, and everyone repeatedly reminded them.
Chen originally had a lot more to say, but she didn't want to disturb her daughter's rest: "Yuzhu, go to bed early and take care of yourself when you go out."
After seeing off the Jiang family, Jiang Yuzhu rolled over and over on the big bed, suffering from a rare insomnia.
Before dawn, banana trees swayed outside the window and the clear calls of kingfishers floated in.
Jiang Yuzhu washed up and met Xie Zhao in the front yard.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhao did not ride a horse, but followed Jiang Yuzhu into the carriage.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, most shops in the capital have closed.
The couple didn't have time to eat breakfast, so they had to buy some fried dough sticks, tofu pudding and buns on the way out of the city.
The fried dough sticks are only as long as a hand and are fried until plump.
The crust is golden and crispy, and paired with chili oil and tofu pudding, it leaves a lingering aftertaste.
Jiang Yuzhu automatically blocked Xie Zhao and ate in small bites.
Thinking that she would still be walking on the official road at noon, she deliberately ate a little more.
After eating and drinking, I felt sleepy.
Xie Zhao sat opposite Jiang Yuzhu with a book in his hand, glancing at her from time to time.
There are cool breezes in winter.
The carriage doors were closed and an oil lamp was lit inside.
Jiang Yuzhu half lowered her head and closed her eyes.
In the dim light, her thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her fair face.
Her head was nodding, but her breathing was even and smooth.
Xie Zhao put down the book, his eyes filled with mystery.
The more they get to know each other, the more he realizes that Jiang Yuzhu is not simple. What is her purpose?
From Xie Zhao's perspective, he could see the ruby earrings on Jiang Yuzhu's small earlobes swaying slightly, emitting a blood-red color.
He swallowed, feeling inexplicably hot.
Xie Zhao's eyes flashed and he looked away.
Jiang Yuzhu slept until noon.
In fact, she had woken up a long time ago, but was just too lazy to deal with Xie Zhao.
Fortunately, the weather was good in the afternoon, so Xie Zhao changed to riding a horse, and the two of them finally didn't have to squeeze together.
"Madam, I am in another carriage and am worried about you."
This time, the ones who went out with Jiang Yuzhu were Hongxiu and Hongjin. They were very nervous because they couldn't get into Jiang Yuzhu's carriage.
Jiang Yuzhu said nonchalantly, "What are you worried about? Don't worry, the master is a gentleman."
After saying this, Jiang Yuzhu was stunned and found it a little funny.
The two were clearly husband and wife, but they were so distant that they were almost like strangers. Her maid was worried that Xie Zhao had bad intentions towards her.
The carriage stopped for a while, and the good weather disappeared.
After a few loud thunders, heavy rain began to fall.
The carriage moved slowly on a rainy day, so everyone had to find a place on the mountain wall to shelter from the rain.
When she was free, Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the books that Xie Zhao left in the carriage and picked up one to read.
What she held in her hand was more like a file of the history of the capital of Da Qi than a book.
Every case has detailed records.
Jiang Yuzhu was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice Xie Zhao had returned to the carriage.
"If you're interested, Madam, there are many more in the study."
Xie Zhao brought the book as a test, and Jiang Yuzhu really did as she said and read it carefully.
As the daughter of the Jiang family, shouldn’t a woman in the harem like jewelry, rouge and powder?
Jiang Yuzhu's hobby is really creepy.
Jiang Yuzhu said seriously, "Thank you very much, Master."
"Why does Madam like to look through these?"
After thinking about it, Xie Zhao couldn't help but ask.
Outsiders don't know the inside story and spread rumors. It is definitely not because of him that Jiang Yuzhu changed her interest.
