It was a sunny day, and Jiang Si took Ah Man to the Treasure Pavilion to pick out jewelry.

Since her grandmother had spoken, she certainly wouldn't refuse.

Zhenbao Pavilion is one of the best silver shops in the capital, and most of the people who come and go are women from wealthy families.

Although the women of these wealthy families can have jewelry delivered to their homes for selection, women throughout history seem to have a common problem: even if they don't buy anything, they always feel different when they go out shopping.

When Jiang Si had finished choosing her jewellery, a middle-aged woman with a gentle temperament and ordinary dress was choosing jewellery from a tray. She glanced at her and smiled warmly: "I wonder if this lady can help me with something?"

Although Jiang Si didn't expect the woman to suddenly speak to her, she didn't show any strangeness on her face. She smiled and asked, "I wonder if Madam needs me to do anything?"

Jiang's polite but enthusiastic response made the woman smile more sincerely: "I have seen so many things that I can't choose. I want you to give me some advice."

The woman's request was not out of the ordinary, so Jiang Si certainly would not refuse such a simple request. He walked closer and asked, "What do you want to buy, Madam? A hairpin or a bracelet?"

The woman frowned slightly: "All is fine."

Jiang Si asked again, "Madam, are you wearing it yourself or giving it to someone else? If you are giving it to someone else, how old is the person?"

The woman smiled and said, "For gifts. My niece from my mother's family is coming over in a few days, so I prepared two gifts for her. How old is she?"

The woman glanced at Jiang Si and said with a smile, "She is about the same age as the girl."

Jiang Si had an idea after hearing this. He glanced at the gold and silver jewelry and quickly picked out three items.

One is a red gold willow leaf headband, one is a pair of red jade earrings with kingfisher feathers and pearls, and the other is a box of silk flowers with pearl cores.

"Little girl likes this?" The woman was a little hesitant.

Jiang Si smiled and said, "At our age, we can't afford to wear a boudoir. This red gold headband is quite formal and decent. It won't go wrong as a gift. But the gift is for your niece, so it's unnecessary to make it too expensive. I think this pair of red jade earrings and the exquisite pearl silk flowers in this box will be liked by that girl..."

Jiang Si expressed her thoughts very patiently, but the woman was looking at her secretly, and the more she looked at her, the deeper the smile on her face.

"Thank you so much, young lady. If it weren't for your help, I really don't know how to choose today."

"Madam, you are too polite. I hope you don't mind my nonsense."

"Miss, you are so polite. If you have nothing to do, would you like to accompany me to the teahouse next door for a cup of tea? Let me express my gratitude."

Jiang Si politely declined: "Although I really want to have tea with you, I have been out for a long time and it is not good for me to stay outside any longer. I should go back now."

"Well, good riddance, girl. I hope we can meet again in the future."

As soon as Jiang Si left, Madam Zhen hurried to the elegant room in the teahouse next door.

Zhen Shicheng saw Madam Zhen coming in and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Judging from the lady's expression, she was obviously satisfied.

Madam Zhen smiled and nodded, "She is indeed a good child. I deliberately wore a dress made of ordinary material today and asked her to help me choose jewelry. The most expensive of the three things she picked was a red gold filigree headband. This kind of headband looks decent but is actually lightweight and doesn't cost much. The other two are things that the little girl likes and are not expensive. It can be seen that this girl is kind and thoughtful, and can put herself in other people's shoes. What's rare is that she can speak beautifully and not embarrass others. Besides, it's rare for a little girl to be so patient with a stranger who looks like he comes from an ordinary family..."

After listening to Mrs. Zhen's long speech, Zhen Shicheng scratched his ears and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"

Mrs. Zhen wanted to nod, but felt a little embarrassed, so she glanced at Zhen Shicheng with displeasure.

Zhen Shicheng laughed: "Then I'll go back and ask the Earl of Dongping about this?"

"Go, go. Didn't you see that Heng'er has been absent-minded these past two days? If you don't go, I'm afraid he will get lovesick."

It's actually a bit too much to hold back the lovesickness. It's true that Zhen Heng has been feeling very nervous these past two days.

He never believed in love at first sight, but the way that girl appeared in front of him was too special and she was so breathtakingly beautiful.

After all, Zhen Heng was just a young man full of vigor and vitality. If the girl who fell from the sky that day was a she-devil, he would naturally not allow his charming thoughts to continue to ferment and eventually develop the intention of marrying her.

I don’t know if her father has gone to talk to her father.

Zhen Heng took out the scroll and looked at it again, his heart full of anticipation.

Zhen Shicheng made an appointment with Jiang Ancheng to go to Tianxiang Teahouse for tea.

Jiang Ancheng was completely stunned when Zhen Shicheng mentioned his children's marriage in a tactful way.

Did he hear correctly? Someone has taken a fancy to his daughter? Although his daughter is very good, there will definitely be people who will recognize her, but this is a bit too sudden.

"Although my son is not very good, he has some talent for studying. I think he can support the family with his own ability in the future. Please rest assured, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Ancheng nodded involuntarily: "Brother Zhen's son is much more promising than my evil creature."

That day, the two exchanged their experiences in educating (disciplining) their sons, and Jiang Ancheng went to inquire about it out of curiosity.

After finding out this, he felt very upset.

Not to mention that he was composing poems at the age of three and reading history at the age of seven, he was given the nickname "Ruyu Gongzi" just after arriving in the capital because he defeated the talented man from Xiliang. He is truly someone else's child.

Zhen Shicheng waved his hands: "It's the same. As long as it's a son, it will be a worry. But don't worry, brother Jiang, our family doesn't have the tradition of taking concubines, and the same will be true for my son in the future. If he dares to take a concubine, I will be the first to break his legs."

Jiang Ancheng was moved when he heard it.

Not taking a concubine is really a great advantage. If the elder brother of the Xie family had not had a concubine, there wouldn't have been the misfortune we have today.

Jiang Ancheng had already made up his mind. His eldest daughter was already married, so he could give up. If his son dared to take a concubine in the future, he would give the little bastard a slap in the face to wake him up. As for Si'er, if she wanted to get married, she should marry a man who loved her wholeheartedly. Otherwise, it would be better for her to stay at home and be raised for the rest of her life to save her from suffering in the future.

Yes, for Jiang Ancheng, who loves his daughter like a treasure, no matter how many advantages the man has, they are not as important as this one.

Zhen Shicheng was very perceptive. Seeing that Jiang Ancheng was obviously moved, he stroked his beard happily.

This marriage is most likely to be successful.

Jiang Ancheng was still rational. He thought for a while and said, "My wife passed away early, and my daughter has her own ideas. I want to ask her opinion on this matter first."

Zhen Shicheng was startled, then nodded: "Of course."

No wonder Miss Jiang is such a strong-willed person, it turns out she has a father who is different from others.

Thinking that he was also a unique father, Zhen Shicheng had a better impression of Jiang Ancheng.

Jiang Ancheng said goodbye to Zhen Shicheng and returned to the Dongping Earl's Mansion. He excitedly called Jiang Si to the study.
