Chapter 351 Why is my sister blushing?
"I've caused trouble for you, sister." Jiang Wanjun looked at Jiang Wanning with a guilty expression.
“We are sisters. Besides, you’ve been in the capital for so long and I haven’t had a chance to properly show you around. It’s my fault.”
Jiang Wanjun waved her hands repeatedly as she listened to Jiang Wanning's words, "Sister is busy with many things, how can Junjun take up her time?"
"Junjun understands."
“The weather is nice today,” Jiang Wan Ning glanced at the sky, “Fortunately, I have nothing to do either, so why don’t I accompany you to explore the city? There are many fun places in the capital.”
Although Jiang Wanjun also wanted to have a private chat with Jiang Wanning, she looked at Pei Yanchuan and immediately said, "Sister, you should go and get busy."
"I'm a grown man, I don't need anyone to accompany me."
Jiang Wan Ning turned to Pei Yan Chuan and said softly, "Your Highness, you and Ah San should go back first. I want to keep Jun Jun company."
Pei Yanchuan whispered something in Jiang Wanning's ear, and Jiang Wanning's ears instantly turned bright red.
Pei Yanchuan gently flicked Jiang Wanning's nose. "I'll be waiting for you."
Jiang Wan Ning shoved Pei Yan Chuan, "Your Highness, you should hurry back. Aren't you busy with so much official business?"
Pei Yanchuan chuckled softly in his magnetic voice, letting Jiang Wanning push him to the side of the carriage.
Jiang Wan Ning waved her hand, and then pulled Jiang Wan Ning to leave.
"Sister." Jiang Wanjun stood still and called softly to Jiang Wanning. Jiang Wanning turned around and saw Mu Yunzhou behind Jiang Wanjun.
Did I... disturb you?
"Sister, what are you saying!" Jiang Wanjun stamped her foot shyly. "There's nothing between me and Young Master Mu."
"But since Young Master Mu has come from afar to participate in the imperial examinations and has been staying at this teahouse, I'm afraid this teahouse won't dare to hold any poetry gatherings for the next few days."
Jiang Wanjun, fearing that Jiang Wanning had not understood, explained again carefully, "Because Young Master Mu's stay here attracts many scholars who want to compete, the innkeeper has waived his accommodation and meals."
“I understand,” Jiang Wan Ning said. “Then let Young Master Mu move into the Marquis’s residence.”
“No,” Jiang Wanjun said, “Young Master Mu is, after all, a man, he…”
Jiang Wan Ning looked at Jiang Wan Jun with doting eyes, "I understand, it's about upholding a man's dignity." She said it was nothing, but she's already considering it.
Jiang Wanning walked to the carriage and spoke to Pei Yanchuan.
Pei Yanchuan sent Ah San to invite Mu Yunzhou over.
Jiang Wanjun clenched her fists tightly, watching the scene before her with nervousness.
A short while later, Mu Yunzhou walked towards Jiang Wanning and the other person.
"The prince gave me two lines of poetry to answer, and I answered them both. The prince said that I could not stay in the prince's mansion or the marquis's mansion to participate in the imperial examination, and that I needed to avoid suspicion."
"If I don't mind, I can go to a shop under the Prince's name and find a manager named Mo Mo to work there. That will cover my lodging and all other expenses."
Jiang Wanjun hurriedly said, "The Prince and my sister meant well, Young Master Mu, please don't feel like you've lost your dignity."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, Miss Jiang misunderstands. How could I feel about dignity?"
"To be honest, that was my initial thought, because I admire Miss Jiang and don't want to be seen as someone who is after her money."
After Mu Yunzhou finished speaking, both of them lowered their heads shyly.
After a long pause, Mu Yunzhou continued, "His Highness said that when you have nothing, you should accept other people's kindness with equanimity. There's no need to pretend to be rich and suffer in silence. As long as you have the ability, you can repay them in the future."
"Everyone in this world will have times of hardship and difficulty. Never let the illusory concepts of face and dignity cause you to lose the opportunity to change your life."
Although Pei Yanchuan spoke bluntly, Mu Yunzhou did indeed benefit greatly from it. Without Miss Jiang's help, he would not have been able to find a place to take him in for a while.
I'm afraid he'll have already headed home before the day of the imperial examination even arrives.
Furthermore, if one shines brightly in a teahouse, someone will inevitably try to harm them, since one less competitor means one more opportunity.
This kind of thing has happened quite often in previous years. Usually, some medicine that can make people drowsy or cause diarrhea is added to tea or food.
He's already so poor, what's the use of saving face?
Seeing this, Jiang Wanjun finally felt relieved and gave a slight bow, saying, "Then I congratulate Young Master Mu on passing the imperial examination in advance."
When Mu Yunzhou learned that Jiang Wanjun's elder sister and brother-in-law were the famous Prince and Princess of Langya, he was both shocked and worried.
Without thinking twice, he blurted out what was on his mind, "Miss Jiang, what about you?"
Jiang Wanjun looked at Mu Yunzhou in confusion, "Me?"
Mu Yunzhou nodded. "Miss Jiang, are you not going to participate in the imperial examination?"
"I remember Miss Jiang saying a few days ago that she wanted to participate in the imperial examination. I don't know if she was serious or just joking."
Jiang Wanjun glanced at Jiang Wanning.
Jiang Wan Ning immediately understood and asked on behalf of Jiang Wan Jun, "Does Young Master Mu mean that he wants Jun Jun to participate in the imperial examination or not?"
If Mu Yunzhou also believes that women should not show their faces in public and should stay at home to be good wives and mothers, then let him give up on Junjun.
Mu Yunzhou quickly replied, "Of course I hope that Miss Jiang can participate in the imperial examination."
Mu Yunzhou looked at Jiang Wanjun with deep affection, "I hope to meet Miss Jiang at the peak of our relationship."
Jiang Wanjun felt a surge of joy. Guo Bingwen had never done this before, taking her articles and passing them off as his own, and always coming back to subtly stab her in the back.
To say that a woman's lack of virtue is a sign of talent is, frankly speaking, a desire to avoid being overshadowed by a woman.
"Do you really think that way?"
Since it wasn't made clear beforehand, and Jiang Wanjun had always dressed as a man, it wasn't until later that it was discovered she was a woman, so they didn't say much more.
Mu Yunzhou replied affirmatively, "Of course."
"What if Junjun does better than you on the exam?" Jiang Wanning asked tentatively.
Without hesitation, Mu Yunzhou replied, "Then I hope Lord Jiang will not find me unworthy."
Hearing this, Jiang Wanjun laughed and said, "I'm not with you, why would I complain about you?"
"But I have already made up my mind. If I pass the imperial examination, I will go to ask for your hand in marriage, regardless of whether you pass or not. I have spent the last few days with you and I feel that you are the one I love."
"His Highness said that a man should learn to be thick-skinned. Even though Miss Jiang rejected me today, I don't regret it. At least I tried."
Jiang Wan Ning looked up at Pei Yan Chuan in the carriage not far away.
She met Pei Yanchuan's gaze and suddenly remembered what he had just whispered in her ear, "I'll go home, take a nice shower, and wait for you, to prove whether I'm capable or not."
Jiang Wan Ning quickly turned her face away, pretending to look at the roadside stalls, her face burning hot.
"Why is Sister blushing?" Jiang Wanjun turned her head to look at her. Shouldn't she be the one blushing?
