Chapter 363 Send Moonlight Brocade
After finishing his meal, Wang Dahu thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote a letter to Jiang Yue, informing her that Ye Mingzhu and others had arrived, and asked her to ask Ye Mingzhu to go shopping with her when she was free, and if she was not free, let Jian Pingping accompany Ye Mingzhu.
When Jiang Yue received the letter, she was listening to Jiang Li talking about the dowry.
She read the entire letter twice but didn't understand what Wang Dahu meant.
"Mom, Brother Hu told me to ask Mingzhu out to play?" She frowned slightly. "Is it because Mingzhu wanted to go shopping but couldn't tell me directly, so she asked Brother Hu to tell me?"
Jiang Li read the entire letter and shook her head. "I don't think Dahu meant that. The letter said, if you're busy, let Jian Pingping accompany Mingzhu."
"Is it true that Wang Dahu wants Mingzhu to go out for a stroll and doesn't want her to stay in the mansion?"
I have to say that Jiang Li’s guess was correct.
"But Mingzhu finally came here?" Jiang Yue had no idea why. But she was getting married soon, and not only did she have to learn how to manage the household, but she also had to take inventory of all the dowry again. She wished she could split her time in half, and went to bed at midnight every day. She hadn't even been to the shop she opened with Jian Pingping for a long time.
Jiang Li patted her arm and said, "You've been stuck in the house all this time, so you must be tired. Tomorrow, you can write a letter and ask Mingzhu to come visit your little shop. You can take a day off."
"Really?" Jiang Yue's eyes lit up. Although she knew that she had to learn to be a housekeeper, it was too boring to look at the account books every day. If she had the chance to go out for a walk, she would not care about Wang Dahu's purpose.
Jiang Li gave Jiang Yue a reproachful look and said, "Don't always think that being a housekeeper is boring. After you get married, there will only be you and Dahu as the two masters in the family. If you don't know how to be a housekeeper, you will become a laughing stock."
Jiang Yue leaned on Jiang Lishi: "Mom, I know, I'm going to entertain Mingzhu, right? I'll just be out for a day."
"Okay, I'll let you relax for a day tomorrow. You don't have to rush back at noon. Let your father order food for you at Hongyan Tower and have it delivered to the shop."
"Mom, you are so nice!" Jiang Yue acted coquettishly to Jiang Li.
"What do you want me to deliver?" Manager Jiang came in from outside and only heard the second half of the sentence.
"Dad, you're back?" Jiang Yue smiled and got up from Jiang Li.
"If I don't come back, how will I know what work you and your mother have assigned to me?" Manager Jiang sat down in the main seat, let out a long sigh, and took a sip of the tea brought by the maid.
"My mother asked me to entertain Mingzhu at the shop tomorrow. Dad, I won't be back at noon. Please order some food from Hongyan Restaurant and have them deliver it to me."
Jiang Yue showed the letter to Manager Jiang.
Steward Jiang's face showed a pensive look. He said nothing, only nodded. "Okay, I'll talk to Hongyan Lou and ask them to make a few more dishes so you can enjoy your meal."
He was the highest-ranking official under Lord Zheng, and he knew early on that Ajiu had sent medicine and fresh vegetables to Wang Dahu.
He knew that Ajiu would never cause trouble for his master. If he had a good relationship with Ye Mingzhu and the others, he would at most send medicine for the wound, not vegetables.
Those vegetables were all given to Lord Zheng by others, so he guessed that Lord Zheng knew all these things.
So, why does Lord Zheng value Ye Mingzhu so much?
Ajiu just came to see him and asked him to arrange manpower and ships to send a lot of things back to Beijing. Among them, there was a large brocade box, and asked him to keep it well and not let anything go wrong. It was said that there was coral inside.
Coral? Manager Jiang suddenly thought of the coral jewelry Ye Mingzhu had given him. Could it be that Ye Mingzhu had given that coral to Mr. Zheng? That was why Mr. Zheng was taking better care of Ye Mingzhu.
Manager Jiang felt that his guess was correct, and he immediately told Jiang Yue to be more polite to Ye Mingzhu.
Originally, choosing Wang Dahu as a son-in-law was the result of various considerations, but now, not only did Wang Dahu promise to have a son to inherit his Jiang family in the future, but Wang Dahu's niece also hooked up with Lord Zheng.
He has been under Lord Zheng for many years. Although he is his confidant, he cannot guarantee that his grandson will be favored by the Lord in the future.
But it’s not bad for my grandson to have a capable cousin in the future.
He was thinking in his mind, but did not show it on his face. He only asked Jiang Yue to give some of the newly acquired Moonlight Brocade to Ye Mingzhu.
Moonlight brocade is not considered precious, but because it looks like water ripples under the moonlight and looks very exquisite, some young wives and girls like it very much.
He got three horses and gave them all to Jiang Yue as a dowry.
Although Jiang Yue liked Yue Guangjin, she was not a stingy person. Besides, she liked Ye Mingzhu, so she naturally agreed.
Jiang Li waited until Jiang Yue left before whispering, "Why are you suddenly so concerned about Mingzhu?"
She had been married to Steward Jiang for many years, so she was naturally familiar with his expression and reaction. He would not mention sending something to Ye Mingzhu for no reason, especially since the Moonlight Brocade had already been given to Jiang Yue as a dowry.
Manager Jiang did not hide anything and gestured for Jiang Li to come closer.
"I think Mingzhu knows adults, so there's no harm in letting Xiaoyue get along better with Mingzhu."
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows. How is this possible?
The steward Jiang nodded confidently: "Ajiu went to deliver medicine to Dahu's wounds, and also sent a basket of food. Those foods were sent to you by the servants, so he must have reported it to you."
Jiang Li knew that Manager Jiang's guess would not be wrong, but she really couldn't figure out how Ye Mingzhu and Lord Zheng were related.
"Maybe Your Excellency is interested in..."
Before Jiang Li could finish her words, she was interrupted by the chief steward Jiang: "No."
He had been working under Lord Zheng for many years, and had never heard of Lord Zheng falling in love with any woman. He was a very career-oriented man and would never fall in love with a married woman from the countryside.
Jiang Li was relieved: "Then I will tell Xiaoyue to take better care of Mingzhu."
"No need to say, Xiaoyue has already noticed it." Manager Jiang knew that his daughter was very smart.
When Jiang Yue returned to her room, she asked the maid to find the moonlight brocade and some jewelry. These were originally intended to be given to Ye Mingzhu, but now they were just sent in advance.
She did realize from the attitude of Manager Jiang that her father asked her to be friends with Ye Mingzhu. Although she didn't know the reason, she had a good impression of Ye Mingzhu, so it was not difficult for her to do so.
She asked her maid to deliver letters to Ye Mingzhu and Jian Pingping respectively.
The next day, she went to pick up Ye Mingzhu first before going to the rouge shop.
The two of them chatted and laughed, and were very affectionate.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Mingzhu. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Pingping. I really didn't expect that Pingping had read so many books and could even find ancient recipes from them."
Jiang Yue has a very high opinion of Jian Pingping.
"This shows that Sister Yue and Pingping are destined to be together." Ye Mingzhu said with a smile, "Sister Yue, you must thank me very much."
"Thank you. You can pick whatever you want when you get to the shop. They're all mine." Jiang Yue said generously.
Soon, they arrived at the shop, but did not get off the car. There was a group of people gathered outside the shop and making a fuss.
