They actually saw it before?
Shen Tangning widened her eyes slightly, staring at Jiang Zhijing's attire, and the more she looked, the more familiar she seemed.
But she really couldn't remember.
If it were a profound memory, she shouldn't have forgotten it.
As she pondered to herself, Jiang Zhijing's soft voice drifted over: "It seems Miss Shen has been quite the womanizer, so naturally she doesn't remember me."
Flirting with other women?
Shen Tangning stared wide-eyed in astonishment, never expecting that this word could be associated with her. She moved her lips, instinctively wanting to refute, but then suddenly swallowed her words, as if she had thought of something.
For a time, she was indeed keen on "playing the field".
Shen Tangning's face flushed, and she cleared her throat: "Your Highness, why don't you be more explicit?"
If it's really what she thinks, then it's quite awkward.
Jiang Zhijing chuckled: "It's nothing. Miss Shen treated me to a meal at Juxianlou."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tangning suddenly remembered it, and her expression became subtle.
...
Jiang Zhijing had visited Yanjing when she was young, so her visit was not for sightseeing, but for another purpose.
Unfortunately, bad luck struck. Just as they found a restaurant to eat at, they discovered that their purse was missing.
But after finishing the meal, she realized that she couldn't dine and dash, leaving Jiang Zhijing extremely embarrassed.
Upon learning that she couldn't pay the bill, the waiter's attitude immediately changed, his eyes filled with contempt: "Dressed so well, I didn't expect you to be just putting on a show! No money? How are you going to eat if you don't have money!"
The other party was aggressive and set their sights on the jade pendant at her waist, demanding that she leave it as collateral.
That was a birthday gift from her mother, so naturally she refused.
Just as the stalemate was at hand, Shen Tangning appeared.
She had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, and Jiang Zhijing had also noticed her presence.
Simply put, Shen Tangning perfectly matched all her expectations of a girl: she was exquisitely beautiful, dressed in pretty clothes, and had clear, lively eyes.
The only drawback is that she is too rigid. She doesn't say a word while eating, and even the number of chopsticks she takes from each dish is fixed. Jiang Zhijing even suspects that she has to make sure that the number of grains of rice in each bite of her food is the same.
She hadn't expected Shen Tangning to help her.
"It's just the cost of a meal, why make such a scene? I'll pay for this young master."
For a moment, Jiang Zhijing thought she had met a fairy.
The shopkeeper clearly recognized her and was extremely respectful and flattering: "Miss Shen is so generous."
It turns out her surname is Chen, so she seems to be of high status.
Jiang Zhijing secretly made a note of it, intending to repay her when she had the money.
As she was leaving, Shen Tangning glanced at her. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke softly, "There are always inconveniences when you're out and about. Young master, you don't need to worry about it. I see that you are destined for great things and will surely rise to prominence in the future."
Being in a foreign land, Jiang Zhijing was so moved that she almost cried, thinking that she had met a kindred spirit who could see through her forbearance and ambition.
Shen Tangning coughed lightly: "Actually, the food at this restaurant is just average. Don't come here next time."
Look at her, what a kind girl!
Knowing she was short of money, he thoughtfully made an excuse for her.
In the days that followed, Jiang Zhijing lingered in the vicinity, wanting to return the silver to Shen Tangning.
Persistence pays off, and she finally met him again.
In the same spot, she witnessed Shen Tangning save an unfortunate scholar who was on his way to the capital for the imperial examination.
It's worth mentioning that the unfortunate scholar was Liu Yifu.
She said the same thing to the other person, without even changing the words, and Jiang Zhijing felt complicated after hearing it.
It turns out that this beautiful and kind-hearted young lady casts a wide net. Her statement that the food at this restaurant was just average was genuine, because she comes here so often that she's tired of it.
