Chapter 14 Dinner with Xie Jing
Chapter 14 Attending a Banquet with Xie Jing
"Shen Tanhua came to your door today and said that there was a misunderstanding that day. Her words were sincere and she wanted to marry you and make up for you."
Jiang Xubai had a wishful thinking in mind, marrying Jiang Youning to Shen Tanhua, and then letting Yanran marry into the general's mansion, to get the best of both worlds.
Jiang Youning blinked her beautiful almond eyes twice, "Dad, I am already engaged to General Xie. Besides, I no longer like Shen Tanhua, let alone marry him."
Jiang Xubai was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that Jiang Youning, who had always been stupid and ignorant, would become smarter now. Wouldn't he look down on Shen Tanhua when he climbed up to General Xie?
"Everyone knows that you liked Shen Tanhua before. Shen Tanhua misunderstood you and hurt your heart. Your angry father also knows that. Don't refuse in a hurry and think about it carefully."
Jiang Youning said: "Don't think about it, I will not marry Shen Tanhua."
"Are you so stiff that you don't even listen to what dad says? Dad, this is for your own good. Your temperament is not suitable for General Xie. Marrying Shen Tanhua is the most suitable one. Think again."
After Jiang Xubai finished speaking, he stood up and left, and began to think about how to get General Xie to marry Yanran.
Chuntao heard everything Jiang Xubai said just now, and said angrily: "The master knew that the girl was engaged to General Xie, and he asked the girl to agree to marry Shen Tanhua. Isn't this an attempt to deceive General Xie? Don't listen to the master, girl. .”
Jiang Youning knew what Jiang Xubai was thinking, so he asked her to marry Shen Tanhua to free up her position, and then let Jiang Yanran marry into the general's mansion.
She patted Chuntao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your girl is not stupid."
I would rather marry Xie Jing than Shen Yan.
Although Xie Jing is a military commander, he is a bit strong and a bit rude, but he has good character and is a responsible man.
Much better than Shen Tanhua, but it’s a pity that he was not humane and died young~
Jiang Youning spent a whole day making the peony velvet flower hairpin and then placed it in a wooden box.
Chuntao saw it and asked, "Girl, don't you sell such a beautiful peony velvet flower hairpin?"
Jiang Youning chuckled: "I'll sell it, but it's not the right time yet."
Chuntao asked curiously: "When will it be sold? Such exquisite peonies will definitely fetch a good price."
Although Jiang Youning is a little salty fish in modern times, she can't help but have a brother who knows how to do business. She has a lot of ears and eyes and knows a little bit.
"Didn't Nan Qianjin say that she had a peony velvet hairpin two days ago? I am the only one who can make this velvet hairpin. Do you think she has it?"
Chuntao thought for a while, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Nan Qianjin is lying! She deliberately said that she did for the sake of face, but in fact she didn't."
Jiang Youning hooked her fingers at Chuntao and said, "Come here."
Chuntao came over curiously, and after hearing this, she was extremely excited.
"Slave, I understand, the girl is still smart."
Today, Chuntao dressed up and went to the street to sell velvet hairpins. The ordinary consumers of velvet hairpins are ordinary people, and the location is a busy street.
After selling the ordinary velvet flower hairpins, I went to the area near Nishang Pavilion again.
Nan Mianmian boasted about Haikou that day and said he had peony-style velvet flower hairpins, so he spent the past two days looking for a boy selling velvet flowers.
She saw a boy selling velvet flower hairpins from a distance, and she walked over quickly, waving her handkerchief.
"Hey, do you have a peony-style velvet flower hairpin?"
Chuntao saw Nan Mianmian and said with a smile: "Miss, the peony style is more complicated and the construction period is long, and the price is also..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nan Mianmian, "Money is not an issue. As long as you can do it, I will pay you twenty taels of silver. If not, I will add more."
With the peony velvet flower hairpin, she had the confidence to attend Du Huilan's birthday party. What's the point of spending more money?
When Chuntao heard that it was twenty taels of silver, she was so shocked that she almost lost her ability to speak.
Twenty taels!
"The young lady is willing to spare the money, and the young one is naturally willing to work overtime to make it."
After hearing this, Nan Mianmian thought for a while and said, "If you can do it in five days, I will give you another five taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Chuntao added five taels of silver, her eyes sparkling, "Okay, I will work hard to make it happen."
When Nan Mianmian saw that he agreed, she felt a little relieved. She only had to wait five days to get the peony-style velvet hairpin.
After Chuntao came back, she couldn't wait to tell Jiang Youning about the incident.
Jiang Youning was also very excited after hearing this, "Rich people are just different."
Chuntao nodded vigorously, it was absolutely correct.
Five days later, Chuntao took the peony-shaped hairpin to the street.
As soon as the front foot left, Xue Yi's hind foot came.
"My master invited Miss Jiang to go to the Fujiang Restaurant for a banquet."
Jiang Youning once spent a lot of money to go to Fujiang Restaurant to treat his stomach. The food there was good, so he agreed without even thinking about it.
"good."
Jiang Youning followed Xue Yi out of the door, and there was a carriage parked at the door.
When she was about to get into the carriage, she heard someone calling her.
"Sister Ning'er."
Jiang Youning turned around and saw Jiang Yanran walking over with a smile on her face.
"Where are you going?"
Jiang Youning said: "Let's go eat."
When Jiang Yanran saw Xue Yi, she knew that Jiang Youning must be going to see General Xie. She stepped forward and took Jiang Youning's hand, "Sister Ning'er, can you take me with you?"
Xue Yi had a smile on his lips, "My master only invited Miss Jiang to come, and did not say that he could bring outsiders."
Jiang Yanran was stunned for a moment, then said unwillingly: "I am sister Ning'er's sister, so I don't count as an outsider, right?"
Jiang Youning looked down at the hand on his arm and took it out.
Xue Yi still smiled and said: "My master only said to invite Miss Jiang."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Youning and said, "Miss Jiang, please get on the carriage."
Jiang Youning nodded. The groom had already put down the horse stool. She held up her skirt and stepped on the horse stool to get on the carriage.
When she entered the carriage, she found that there was a lot of space inside the carriage and there was a table. She sat next to the window.
Xue Yi got on the carriage after seeing Jiang Youning go in.
Jiang Yanran clenched the handkerchief in her hand and watched the carriage leave in front of her eyes.
Jiang Youning is not as good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting as I am, and is not as understanding as I am.
Where did Xie Jing see Jiang Youning?
Jiang Xubai went out to socialize and saw Jiang Yanran standing at the door. He asked doubtfully: "Yanran, what are you doing standing here?"
"Dad, I saw Sister Ning'er going to see General Xie. I wanted to go with her, but Sister Ning'er..." Jiang Yanran hesitated, her voice filled with grievance.
Jiang Xubai snorted coldly: "The same goes for Ning'er, why not take you with me?"
Fujiang Restaurant is overcrowded.
Jiang Youning followed Xue Yi to the private room on the second floor. Xue Yi opened the door. She walked in and found that besides Xie Jing, there was another man inside.
The man wore a blue brocade robe trimmed with gold, his long dark hair was tied up by a golden crown, and his narrow eyebrows carried a faint smile.
He holds a jade fracture fan in his hand and is full of nobility that cannot be ignored.
Jiang Youning withdrew her gaze and stepped forward to salute, "General."
Good night spicy!
