Chapter 295: Finding a Big Boss as a Backer
early morning.
It's a bit cold.
Jiang Miaomiao gets up early to study as usual.
He wore a thick cloak and sat side by side with Yan Cheng'an.
He recited the Three Hundred Thousands while shaking his head.[1]
Mainly because Yan Cheng'an was shaking his head, she unconsciously started shaking along with him.
It’s okay to just recite along like this.
The only thing that makes her feel tired is keeping a good grasp of her study progress.
Not too fast and not too slow.
If it happens too quickly, her second brother will think she is too smart.
Then there will be additional homework.
If the progress was slow, the second brother would not be able to help but roar and look at her with a look of despair.
It makes people feel uncomfortable when they see it.
Fortunately, Yan Cheng'an came.
When you don’t know how to grasp the progress, just look at it and use it as a reference.
If Yan Cheng'an could memorize a whole article, then she would memorize half of it.
Yan Cheng'an could write ten characters, so she wrote five.
The whole morning was a rare moment of harmony between the brother and sister.
Lu Qingyao was very pleased when she saw it, and a gentle aunt's smile appeared on her oval face.
I didn't intend to force the little girl, but she started to take it seriously herself.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She decided to give the children extra lessons while there was still some time before dinner.
After school, Miaomiao yawned and was pulled into the yard by her mother, who said she was going to teach her and her brothers boxing.
From biggest to smallest, the three little men lined up in a row.
Follow A Niang's gestures.
Sometimes he throws a left punch, sometimes he throws a right punch.
A Niang said that they don’t have to be very powerful, but they must learn to defend themselves.
You also need to have a strong physique.
At least, when you can't win, you can still escape.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that what her mother said made sense.
So she practiced extra seriously.
Standing at the very edge, waving his arms and legs, he followed the movements.
A babyish sound came out of the little mouth, "Drink...drink...drink..."
Jiang Ziyan and Yan Cheng'an, who were standing by, were very happy.
Jiang Miaomiao: "...Don't laugh."
Because she had lived a very hard life before she traveled through time in her previous life.
I only sleep a few hours a day, my day and night are reversed, my sleep and diet are irregular.
In the end, I broke down both mentally and physically.
I have money but no life to spend it.
So she is especially careful about her life now.
Keep your body in good shape.
She wanted to be a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid, live an easy life, fight cocks, feed sheep, walk wolves, lie down like Ge You when she had nothing to do, and listen to Jiujiu tell gossip.
Otherwise, I would help my aunt develop new dishes and look for ingredients that will be popular in the future but are not yet popular.
Let my mother make a lot of money.
Let them all become rich women.
She is responsible for eating, drinking and shopping.
However, since coming to Beijing, Jiang Miaomiao has discovered that money alone is not enough.
Especially in this feudal society where men are superior to women, A Niang had to bear the double burdens of being the daughter of a criminal and a divorced woman, making everything she did difficult.
In order not to affect business, she handles most of the transactions behind the scenes.
Rarely appears.
The only clear way out was the grain shop attached to Yipinju.
Because A Niang donated grain to the court, Emperor Xuan praised her verbally, but these few words were already quite effective.
At least no one dared to attack the grain store.
But Yipinju is a little different, as it is crowded with merchants.
Until now, outsiders don’t know who the real person in charge of Yipinju is. It is only rumored that there are royal relatives backing him up.
In this imperial capital full of powerful people and intertwined forces.
A big tree attracts the wind and easily arouses jealousy and envy. It needs to have a backer to survive long.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that her mother was too low-key. She did not make friends with the powerful and wealthy and only interacted with the Mu family.
Princess Liang and Princess Rong'an were also powerful people, but they chose to return to their fiefdoms.
King Jing is a man after all, although he is young, but it seems inappropriate for my mother to have frequent contact with him.
As for the Cui family, although Old Lady Cui asked A Niang to help deliver the letter, she intended to introduce A Niang to her son.
But after all, there are strict rules for men and women, and A Niang's identity is too sensitive.
Moving around too much is not good either.
Xiao Miaomiao thought about it and thought of someone.
That person was in a high position and had great power, and she was a woman.
Most importantly, they are about to become neighbors.
I just need to find out more about his personality and stuff.
It is said that among all the princes and grandchildren, Prince Jing has the best relationship with Princess Yuqing.
Uncle Jing is a nice guy, and I guess his sister isn't that bad either.
I guess he is just a little bit willful and domineering.
Perhaps, there is also a bit of cruelty.
But she is a noble princess and has the capital to be willful.
Jiang Miaomiao decided to take on the public relations responsibility of the family and help her mother win over Princess Yuqing.
Find a big boss to support you.
The little girl sat there and kept grinning.
Xier's heart was pounding when she saw this.
After lunch.
It's Miaomiao and Yan Cheng'an's free time because the second brother has his own schoolwork.
Since her mother and aunt were not at home, Jiang Miaomiao began to let herself go.
She blinked and looked at Yan Chengan, "Brother An, do you want to visit my garden?"
"I do." Yan Cheng'an nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Of course I did.
Although Miaomiao's garden is not big, it is much more interesting than his.
He felt that Jiang Miaomiao's family was very kind to him. Not only were they good-looking, but they were also very gentle.
Especially Aunt Qingyao, she speaks very gently.
The most important thing is, never lose your temper and never beat Jiang Miaomiao.
At least that's how it's been for the past few days he's been here.
Unlike his mother...
They are obviously good sisters, so why are they so different?
Yan Cheng'an sighed as he walked.
Jiang Miaomiao moved closer to him, took his hand and ran out.
Xier hurriedly followed, having a bad feeling in her heart.
Jiang Miaomiao walked through the corridor and came to the backyard. She walked around to the pond, looked at the geese for a while, picked some grass and took it to feed the sheep.
Feed this and feed that.
Finally, they started feeding the birds, and the little girl chirped at them as she fed them.
After a while, many birds flew over.
More and more.
The little girl had them on her shoes, arms, shoulders, and even in her hair.
These birds were not afraid of her.
Yan Cheng'an was stunned.
I tried to reach out and catch them, but they all flew away.
Jiang Miaomiao finally walked around to a wall, stopped, looked up and looked quietly.
"What are you looking at?" Yan Cheng'an also looked like her.
The two little kids looked up at the sky.
All I see is either a wall or branches with yellow-green leaves hanging on them. Through the branches is the blue sky and white clouds floating in the sky.
Floating and floating.
Suddenly a group of birds flew over, jumping up and down on the treetops, chirping.
It was the group of birds just now, Yan Cheng'an recognized them.
The little red bird in the lead is Miaomiao's beloved pet.
Jiang Miaomiao pointed at the trees and said, "These are all cherry trees. They bloom beautifully in spring. Those are winter peaches. They will be ripe in a month or so."
Yan Cheng'an nodded.
"Hmm! Cherries are delicious, sour and sweet, but they can only be eaten in April or May. It's still too early now. But is there anything special about this tree?"
Jiang Miaomiao didn't think it was anything special.
"It's just that this area was bare before. These trees must have been transplanted recently."
Jiang Miaomiao didn't think it was strange to plant a few cherry trees in the corner, but planting a large area of cherry trees was a bit unbelievable.
Cherries are the most difficult to preserve and easily spoil.
If we plant so much, can we eat it all?
This reminded Jiang Miaomiao of King Jing's house in Jiangzhou, where there were also several cherry trees planted.
But I didn’t see Uncle Jing really like eating it.
When Jiang Miaomiao's family was not there, half of the cherries were eaten by the servants in the mansion, and the other half were eaten by birds.
After they went there, they picked them all and made them into preserved fruit snacks.
However, in just a few days, a large number of cherry trees were transplanted into this yard.
She even doubted whether it could survive.
But since they can grow so many, I think Princess Yuqing and she are from the same field.
Everyone likes to eat cherries.
…
The autumn wind blows.
A few yellow leaves were blown down.
The yellow leaves were blown into the air by the wind.
Sitting in the sedan chair was a stunning beauty.
Princess Yuqing just moved here.
As soon as I entered the mansion, I couldn't wait to see the cherry orchard.
Looking at the forest where leaves were falling, she frowned slightly.
Why do I feel that my brother’s idea is a bad one?
I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next spring or summer for this forest to bloom and bear cherries.
But she wanted to see Xiao Miaomiao right now.
I still want to see her every day.
It’s ridiculous to think about it. She is a princess, but she has to rack her brains to see her own daughter.
She ordered, "Madam Feng, send someone to invite Prince Jing tomorrow. Isn't he familiar with Miaomiao? Ask him to find a way to bring the child to me so I can take a look."
She must have lost her mind earlier.
Why think of so many roundabout ways?
Just let your fifth brother bring the baby over. They were neighbors in Jiangzhou, and I don’t think Mrs. Lu will say anything.
Nanny Feng was about to respond and leave when Princess Yuqing called her back.
"Madam, go to Yipinju tomorrow and invite a few chefs who can cook Jiangzhou cuisine to come to the mansion."
"Yes, Your Highness, you are very thoughtful. I will go right away." Nanny Feng nodded and left.
The little princess grew up in Jiangzhou, and she probably won't be able to get used to the dishes prepared by chefs in the capital for the time being.
Only Yipinju has authentic Jiangzhou chefs.
…
evening.
Jiang Miaomiao pulled Yan Chengan to the corner again.
This time he didn't look at the sky, but at the sealed dog hole in the corner of the wall.
"Brother An, was the garden next door raided before?"
"Well, my mother said it was the garden of the third prince, Prince Su. He rebelled, so the palace was raided, and this garden was no exception." Yan Cheng'an nodded, looking as if he understood everything.
"Brother An, do you think there might be gold, silver, and jewelry hidden in this confiscated garden?" Jiang Miaomiao approached him and asked mysteriously.
"No, my father said they have all been confiscated."
"I think it's still there, maybe hiding in some corner."
"Probably not."
Jiang Miaomiao said firmly: "Yes, my grandfather's house was raided, but my mother still secretly went back and found the silver."
"Really? How many? Where did you find them?" Yan Cheng'an was extremely curious.
"A lot, found in the chimney. You are not allowed to tell anyone." Jiang Miaomiao said seriously: "So I think there must be more treasures hidden in the garden next door. After all, the one whose property was confiscated was a prince."
Yan Cheng'an agreed and said, "Then let's go and take a look."
This dog hole in the corner.
It had already been blocked by my second brother.
Now Yan Cheng'an dug it open again.
He instructed the servant beside him, "When I find some treasures, I'll share some with you. But don't tell my mother."
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment.
Alas! The young master is courting death again. It is better to keep him out of trouble, otherwise you will suffer the consequences together with him.
Xier's brows twitched.
It won’t matter if Young Master Yan is caught. Princess Yuqing will have to give the Buddha some consideration.
At most, he would be beaten up by his mother.
But her daughter is a girl, how can she crawl through a dog hole?
Besides, the lady has repeatedly told us to stay away from the princess's mansion because the princess is in danger.
She quickly grabbed the young master and said, "Miss, you can't go. Have you forgotten what your mother said?"
"No, no." Jiang Miaomiao nodded obediently.
Then he bent down and said to Yan Chengan who was crawling over with a puff of his voice, "Brother An, dig well. I'll keep watch for you."
Xier thought the girl really wanted to go out for a walk.
Then she was seen riding on the little white wolf and running out of the front garden.
He kept running until he got off the wolf's back at the door, walked out of his own door, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the princess's mansion.
Xier quickly chased after her, "Girl, go back quickly, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Miaomiao looked up at the thick vermilion wooden door and the door knocker that was several heads taller than her.
I stood on tiptoe and tried to reach it, but couldn't reach it.
No wonder they are called wealthy families, the threshold is too high.
Forget it, let Xier help.
"Xier, help me knock on the door."
"This..." Xier shook her head and took a few steps back.
The girl is so bold, what does she want to do?
Jiang Miaomiao frowned at Xier, "...I don't want you anymore. Go back with Brother Cheng'an tomorrow."
Xier: ...
Such a small master actually threatens people.
Forget it, she still likes to follow the girl.
If the girl has anything delicious or fun, she will leave a portion for her.
Although the girl is young, she is a rare and good master.
"Don't be angry, young lady. I'll just knock on the door."
Jiang Miaomiao took out the jade pendant from her clothes and shook it, "Don't worry, I have this."
Xier looked at the jade pendant in the girl's hand.
The jade pendant was given to the girl by King Jing. Given their friendship, the princess should not do anything to the girl.
After thinking for a moment, he went forward and knocked on the door.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
"Squeak." The door opened.
The concierge stuck his head out and looked at Xier, "What are you...doing?"
Jiang Miaomiao stretched out her little hand and took the jade pendant. "I'm your next-door neighbor, looking for your master."
The doorman then noticed the little man on the ground and said, "Kid, my master is not someone who can be seen by anyone..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the jade pendant in her hand.
The subject suddenly changed, "Please... wait a moment, I will go and report to the master." The doorman disappeared in a flash.
After a while, he came back and brought an old woman with him.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at him from a distance and felt that he looked familiar.
When it gets closer.
Her body froze, her mouth wide open in shock.
Xi'er was also stunned. She squatted down and hugged the young master, "Miss, isn't that the old nanny next to Qi Xiaoniang? Why is she here?"
