After Jiang Fang learned about Jiang Zhi's life experience the night before, he became obviously depressed.

And he may have actually investigated Jiang Zhi's life experience. For a long time afterwards, Jiang Fang seemed to deliberately avoid Jiang Nianjiao and Jiang Zhi.

And Jiang Zhi also knew in her heart that Jiang Fang was probably disappointed with herself.

Therefore, when Mo Xia planned to return to Huatai Mountain City, Jiang Zhi chose to leave with her mother.

On the eve of leaving, she obviously wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Fang, but it was a pity that Jiang Fang did not give Jiang Zhi this opportunity.

Therefore, Jiang Zhi only left a letter to Jiang Nianjiao and asked Jiang Nianjiao to deliver the letter to Jiang Fang.

Jiang Nianjiao naturally complied with the instructions. On that day, she only handed the letter to Jiang Fang and left.

I heard that after Jiang Zai received Jiang Zhi's farewell letter, he just locked himself in the study room all night. No one knew what Jiang Zai was thinking.

Jiang Nianjiao didn't care about this either.

After all, everyone is in love with each other, and no matter how warm the blood is, it will cool down when it encounters ice and snow, even between parents and children.

And parents' indifference towards their children will one day be reflected back on themselves.

What's more, the relationship between her and Jiang Fang was more than just indifference.

If it weren't for her real surname Jiang and having the same bloodline as Jiang Fang, she would really want to stay as far away from the Jiang Mansion as Jiang Zhi did.

It's a pity that she has no choice.

The days passed suddenly like falling flowers in front of the court. As Jiang Zhi and his party left, Jiang Nianjiao's life seemed to become dull again. Even Chen Changnian, who often interacted with Jiang Nianjiao, rarely came to see Jiang Nianjiao during this period.

I heard that this time her eldest brother came back from Yunzhou.

Moreover, the general seemed to plan to personally resolve Chen Changnian's marriage while staying in Beijing.

Therefore, Chen Yannian, who was put on a blind date by his eldest brother, naturally had no chance to see Jiang Nianjiao.

And Jiang Nianjiao also felt embarrassed because she let go of Chen Jinghuai's pigeon before. In addition, he heard that this eldest brother had an old-fashioned personality and had a bad impression of him. When he heard that his third brother wanted to marry Jiang Nianjiao, he strongly opposed it, so he thought of it. In these aspects, it is not easy for Jiang Nianjiao to hang around in front of the elder brother.

Therefore, during this period of time, Jiang Nianjiao actually stayed at home and behaved obediently waiting to be married.

Of course, she still went out once during this period, but that was only because Zhao Nianze's palace in Taipingfang was completed.

The princes of the Yong Dynasty usually left the palace and were crowned kings only shortly after the marriage was arranged, although most of the palaces of these princes had actually been completed long ago.

But it is probably impossible to move into the palace before getting married.

And I heard that Emperor Yong made Zhao Nianze the King of Liang this time, and the fiefdom was in Nanliang. It was not a very wealthy place, but it was very low-key.

On the other hand, the third prince Zhao Yanzhen was not only named the King of Jin because of his marriage to Jiang Nianjiao, but also had his fiefdom sealed in Jinyang, which was an extremely wealthy place. Besides, his palace was only granted the title of Prince of Jin. In Wangliufang, you must know that this is the closest place to the saint, and the area of ​​​​the palace is almost as big as a small palace.

Seeing such a disparity in comparison, even the Chen family, who had been suppressed for the past few days and was as panic-stricken as a bird, now felt that he had received some comfort.

However, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen were obviously not surprised by this kind of reward. After all, Zhao Nianze was the future successor to the throne before his rebirth. Sooner or later, he would be rich all over the world, so the reward at this moment did not seem to be very important.

Moreover, the Chen family has not yet been completely overthrown, and the large reward given to His Highness is more like an appeasement to the Chen family.

When Jiang Nianjiao arrived at Taipingfang, the front of Prince Liang's Mansion was already crowded with cars. Many of them were officials who were close friends with Zhao Nianze. In addition, Taishan, who heard that Zhao Nianze was there, and the future Princess Liang also came together.

When Jiang Nianjiao got out of the car, she happened to see Zhao Nianze personally welcoming a cold beauty with an orchid temperament as she got off the car.

Although Zhao Nianze didn't seem to be happy about this beauty, he didn't put on a bad face.

He just helped the beauty out of the carriage in a very gentlemanly manner, and then the three of them entered Prince Liang's Mansion together.

Jiang Nianjiao was a step too late and did not engage Zhao Nianze.

Huh, but thinking that even though they are cousins, I obviously don't like him now, but the rumors about the capital are still embarrassing.

Therefore, she did not join him. After handing the things to the steward of the house, she went to find a seat and sit down.

When she didn't want to sit down, a little maid whom she had never met said that her lady wanted to see her.

Although she didn't know who the young lady who wanted to see her was, she still followed her.

Unexpectedly, when she followed the maid to a garden, she actually saw Su Zhirou.

Today, Su Zhirou has changed out of the medical officer attire of the Imperial Medical Bureau in the past. She only wears a white brown skirt, her hair is tied up, and she wears some red hairpin jewelry. Although her appearance is just ordinary in Beijing where there are so many beauties, However, that gentle and calm temperament is rare here.

Seeing Jiang Nianjiao coming over, Su Zhirou just smiled and took the initiative to say hello, "Miss Jiang."

Jiang Nianjiao smiled slightly at her and said, "Why is Miss Su staying alone in the back garden?"

Su Zhirou only said softly, "Actually, I didn't want to come over today, but His Highness insisted that I come over first to see our future residence, so I came over."

"But I heard that Miss Xu's family is here today. I thought it would be embarrassing if we met together today, so I thought of hiding here. Besides, I'm not a sociable person. If I were there, Staying in the hall makes me look like a goose."

After hearing her self-mockery, both of them smiled knowingly. Seeing that she was alone, Jiang Nianjiao didn't want to go to the hall to socialize. Moreover, the back garden was very secluded and no one came over, so she planned to accompany Su Zhirou. Stay here for a while.

But before she had time to ask Su Zhirou how she felt about this new residence, soft whispers came from the rockery path beside the garden.

The two of them were just thinking about it when a young lady from an unknown family suddenly ran over and saw a cool beauty in plain white clothes being helped by their maid to come to the garden.

However, because Jiang Nianjiao and Su Zhirou were in the flower forest, covered by trees, the cold beauty and her maid did not notice the presence of Jiang Nianjiao and Su Zhirou for a while.

On the contrary, Jiang Nianjiao looked through the flowers and trees and recognized the beauty almost at a glance as the daughter of the Xu family.

Thinking that Su Zhirou might be embarrassed when they suddenly met her, she patted Su Zhirou's hand and only signaled Su Zhirou to follow her and hide behind a rockery.

Although Su Zhirou didn't know why, she still followed Jiang Nianjiao's instructions.

But just after they hid behind the rockery, they saw that the young lady also saw the swing frame where they had just been sitting.

The eldest lady also refused to open or lift any pot, and then pointed to the swing and said, "Let's go there to rest for a while."

Following Leng Meiren's instructions, her maid naturally led her there.

Not long after the two of them sat down, the beauty started coughing lightly, covering her handkerchief. With her pale face and thin figure, it could be seen that this beauty was not very strong.

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang is truly extraordinary. I see that he and you are a perfect match. You don't know how much the ladies in the boudoir envied the young lady when you and His Highness the Prince of Liang were walking together just now." When the little maid next to him saw his young lady sitting next to him, she started chirping about what happened when her young lady had just come into contact with Zhao Yanzhen. It could be seen that the little maid was very excited and had a good impression of Prince Liang.

It's a pity that the real owner didn't have any expression on her face when she heard this. She only said coldly, "What are you so happy about? What does he have to do with me because he is so heroic?"

The maid puzzled and said, "But His Royal Highness Prince Liang is your future husband-in-law. Don't we women all hope for a good marriage?"

"A good marriage? Does Prince Liang think that it is a good marriage in your eyes?" For some reason, this young lady from the Xu family only seemed to be mocking Zhao Nianze when she mentioned it. ..

Her behavior was completely different from that of other women. Even the maids around her obviously couldn't understand her. The little girl only said softly, "His Royal Highness, Prince Liang, is very heroic and young. He is the dream of many girls in the capital." My lover, isn’t it a good thing to marry His Highness Prince Liang?”

Hearing the maid mention this, Miss Xu's cough became even worse.

She just smiled bitterly, "Xiaolan, you don't understand me either. What I'm looking for is never a young hero, let alone a handsome husband. I just want to be with one person for the rest of my life."

"Then... how is that possible?" The little girl obviously couldn't understand it. After all, it is very common in the circles of officials in Beijing to have three wives and four concubines. This is the privilege of the superiors and a manifestation of their status. It is extremely rare to marry one person.

However, the Miss Xu family just said, "Why not? Isn't this the Jiang family's family tradition?"

"But there is no young master of similar age in the Jiang Mansion." The little girl just accompanied her young lady and talked nonsense.

"Of course the Jiang Mansion doesn't have it, but ordinary men without the title of Lord are also acceptable." Miss Xu Jia just said one more sentence.

The little girl is obviously very good at awakening her young lady's unrealistic fantasies. "Miss, our master is not an ordinary petty official in the capital. If you say that those ordinary men are not worthy of you, I will not consider them. It is the master who has considered them." , they have received help from me, do you think they will keep you alone? If these people turn around, they will just continue to have three wives and four concubines like the people in this circle."

This girl's words finally succeeded in dispelling the Xu family's desire to talk. After a while, she said, "That's better than marrying Prince Liang, Xiaolan, I really don't want to use my marriage as a stepping stone for others." .”
