Jiang Shuwan drank a cup of An Cha Shen tea, her expression indifferent.
She's here on official business today; she won't see anyone or accept any gifts.
“Brother Nai knows, why would we accept their gifts if it's not a holiday? But they're being too polite,” Qingxing said.
Jiang Shuwan shook her head. Money makes the world go round, and this is nothing. Back in her modern days, people would send her handsome men, a whole row of twelve zodiac animals, straight to her room, wishing they would stay that night.
It's a shame that back then, all she cared about was making money, and she treated handsome men like dirt.
Looking back now, I feel so ripped off!
Those are the twelve zodiac animals, twelve handsome men. If she takes a fancy to one, the other would want to join their family.
She was both well-behaved and handsome; if she pointed east, they wouldn't dare go west.
Unlike in this day and age, where even going out is inconvenient, let alone finding a handsome guy to date and enjoy romantic moments.
It's true that people only realize their regrets after they've lost something.
Jiang Shuwan was filled with regret, feeling an overwhelming longing for her former days of drunken revelry. Bored, she glanced casually out the window and her eyes met Pei Yanzhi's.
Jiang Shuwan: "!!"
Pei Yanzhi: "!!"
The two were caught off guard when they saw each other, and both of them were stunned for a moment.
"Miss, it's the young master." Qingxing also saw him and said with surprise.
"I know it's the Crown Prince, why are you so happy?"
Seeing that Qingxing's tone was too excited, Jiang Shuwan glanced at her curiously.
The other day, this girl suspected that Pei Yanzhi might have some unspeakable problem. She was sighing all day long and even asked the servants in the manor about Pei Yanzhi's private life.
They asked him if he had gotten close to any of the maids, and how much he cared about Pei Yanzhi's bedroom affairs.
After making some inquiries, she discovered that Pei Yanzhi was a man of few desires and impeccable character, both inside and out. The little maid was utterly distraught, spending her days squatting by the wall muttering, "Noble families' sons have maids even at ten years old. If they don't have any in the manor, they keep several lovers outside. How come the young master is so pure? It turns out the young master really has a problem. No wonder the second young lady wanted to take the young lady to Xiangguo Temple. I knew the second young lady wouldn't give such a good match to the young lady, waaaaaah..."
The little girl was crying her eyes out, completely heartbroken, and had lost her appetite. Jiang Shuwan was just thinking of comforting her when, unexpectedly, she suddenly recovered, looking energetic and like she had won the lottery.
Qingxing is definitely hiding something from her.
Seeing Jiang Shuwan looking at her suspiciously, Qingxing felt uneasy. She put on a humble expression and secretly placed her hand on the red token at her waist.
Her daughter's power and status have steadily risen; her only regret is that she remains cold and distant with the heir.
After the incident involving Chun Jiao and Mei Xue, she was very anxious and had some very bad suspicions, so she secretly drew a fortune stick behind Jiang Shuwan's back.
Your talent is first-rate, and you are even more so, with a heart that is virtuous and benevolent.
If one encounters setbacks, one can cultivate innocence through hardship.
How can one become an immortal from nothing? It only requires perseverance and a willingness to overcome difficulties.
The green bamboo in Jisui Garden can be used as fishing rods this year.
This is an extremely auspicious sign.
The old Taoist priest who interpreted the divination said that the young lady was a good person, but she had suffered an accident. As long as she endured hardship, her marriage would naturally be successful.
Goodness, this fortune stick is incredibly accurate! It just so happens that her young lady is exceptionally intelligent, but she was framed by the second young lady and ended up in the Marquis's mansion.
As for suffering, that's exactly what his wife was planning and targeting.
After enduring hardship, a predestined marriage will follow. Her young lady is the wife of the Crown Prince, so her marriage is naturally tied to him...
No wonder the young lady and the young master were so beautiful, yet the young master didn't even glance at her. The young master's house was also spotless inside and out. It turns out that the young lady and the young master were destined to be together.
She said, "The young master is handsome and talented, how could there be any problem?"
Qingxing stared excitedly at the young master downstairs across the street.
Look, they say that those destined to meet will meet even if they are thousands of miles apart, and here we've met directly.
Jiang Shuwan also looked at Pei Yanzhi with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, the young official stood in front of a teahouse across the street, dressed in a light blue scholar's cap and robe, the attire of a student of the Imperial Academy.
In her previous life, Jiang Shuwan heard her aunt complain that Pei Lingyu didn't like wearing this and was often scolded by her teacher, simply because the eunuch's robes were not elegant or attractive.
Looking at it today, isn't it quite handsome? It accentuates Pei Yanzhi's tall and slender figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, with a face as white as jade, and an unparalleled elegance.
Tsk tsk, it's a gloomy day today, the lighting is so bad that even the most handsome immortals lose some of their charm. Pei Yanzhi, on the other hand, is as handsome as ever, but his expression remains indifferent and emotionless.
besides.
Has he grown taller?
I don't think minor officials used to be this tall?
Jiang Shuwan frowned, her gaze sweeping over Pei Yanzhi from head to toe.
and.
Pei Yanzhi should be studying at the Imperial Academy today, why is he outside?
"Miss, should we greet the young master?" Qingxing asked softly from the side.
Of course, I should say hello.
How could you ignore the boss when you see him!
She's not such a clueless employee.
After flicking her sleeves and straightening her skirt, Jiang Shuwan came down from the second floor of the restaurant. As soon as she stepped onto the street, a downpour began.
Jiang Shuwan: "...?"
She knew that getting caught in the rain was a homophone for "prosperity," a sign that her career would go very smoothly, but right now she was meeting her boss...
Moreover, this is ancient times; getting caught in the rain and getting a fever could kill a person!
"Miss, please wait a moment, I'll go back and get the umbrella."
Qingxing turned and ran back to get the fan. Jiang Shuwan shrank back and hid under the eaves. Just as she moved, darkness fell over her head as a blue paper umbrella was placed over her.
A person dressed in blue stood in front of her.
Slowly raising her head, she saw the man's neat collar, followed by his attractive and somewhat alluring Adam's apple.
Who is this person, shielding her from the rain, and with such a beautiful Adam's apple?
Further up, there's a sharply defined jawline, thin lips, and cool, aloof eyes.
"..."
Meow meow meow?
He was a minor official with considerable power.
"Your Highness."
Jiang Shuwan subconsciously bowed slightly, but Pei Yanzhi didn't let her perform the proper greeting. Instead, he grabbed her and pulled her towards the eaves.
What brings you here?
"The Marquis's residence has a shop here. I've come to check on the business. I'll come and say hello when I see the young master."
After saying that, the two fell silent, unsure of what to say next.
They've been married for six months and they're still so unfamiliar with each other—it's truly the first time in the capital that they've met like this.
Looking down, she saw that the young minister was still holding her wrist; his fingers were long and slender, with distinct bones, as smooth as jade.
It's really beautiful.
It's even prettier than the twelve zodiac animals that someone gave me in my past life.
Even a minor official could become a hand model.
"Feel sorry!"
Pei Yanzhi followed her gaze and saw their hands clasped together. He quickly let go and hurriedly stepped aside. He was bumped by other passersby who were also taking shelter from the rain, but instead, he took a step closer to Jiang Shuwan.
Thus, their breaths mingled, and they were quite close.
However, the next moment he took a big step to the side, leaving half of his body exposed to the rain.
Jiang Shuwan was completely stunned.
