In Prince Jin's Mansion, it was obvious that Jiang Nianjiao's words were more effective than Zhao Yanzhen's. After Jiang Nianjiao spoke, the slave immediately agreed.
Then the slave hurriedly went down, and when he came in again, he had already brought three people in.
The leading young man, dressed in red and indistinguishably beautiful, was Lan Jue, the shopkeeper who was in charge of Xiaochunshan Rouge Shop for Jiang Nianjiao.
And the beautiful woman walking side by side with him was Chen Yan, who said a few days ago that she would open a Xiaochunshan branch on Zhuque Street.
The last woman, Jiang Nianjiao, who was plainly dressed, with ordinary appearance but elegant temperament, was not recognized for a moment. But seeing Chen Yan holding her hand, Jiang Nianjiao thought that the woman in front of him must be at least Chen Yan's friend.
Others greeted Jiang Nianjiao more casually. Only the strange woman bowed her knee and saluted Jiang Nianjiao when she saw her. "Yao Niang, I have met Princess Jin."
Jiang Nianjiao naturally asked the woman not to be restrained, and then she only asked the woman's name carefully, "What's your name?"
Zhou Yaoniang naturally only replied in a low voice after hearing this, "People's daughter Zhou Yaoniang."
Jiang Nianjiao heard this and said, "Zhou Yaoniang? Could it be Zhou Yaoniang, the daughter of Minister Zhou?"
Seeing that Jiang Nianjiao guessed her identity, Zhou Yaoniang was obviously a little surprised.
"Princess, how do you know that I am Zhou Shilang's daughter?"
When Zhou Yaoniang asked about this, Jiang Nianjiao also smiled, "I didn't guess that you were Zhou Shilang's daughter. In fact, I went to your house a few days ago, but you were not there at the time."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention the past few days, Zhou Yaoniang naturally remembered that she was at her grandfather's house in Yangliu Town a few days ago.
At that time, something unexpected happened in the family. The person next to him turned out to be a Zhongshan Wolf. Even my grandfather's family was implicated and the ancestral house was burned down. His eldest aunt even died.
It was also because of learning about this that Zhou Yaoniang returned to her original home with the help of her three uncles.
They took stock of the belongings they still had in their home.
Most of the gold, silver, and jewelry available at home were taken away. As for the real estate that could not be taken away, such as the shop property, the man took away all the title deeds.
Fortunately, these things have not been sold, and the man is now a street rat. He would not dare to wander around and sell this part of the property in an upright manner, so now they have reported the loss of the land title to the government, but it takes a long time to obtain a replacement certificate. A long process.
So during this period, Zhou Yaoniang was penniless.
Zhou Yaoniang's grandfather's house also lost all its property due to the fire, and now the whole family can only temporarily live in Zhou Yaoniang's house.
Only when the government handles this case can they go back and rebuild their home in the wasteland.
So although Zhou Yaoniang had a place to stay, she really didn't have any money.
This matter was found out by Chen Yan who came to visit. After Chen Yan heard about Zhou Yaoniang's situation, she did not hesitate to give Zhou Yaoniang a dividend in advance, and she only persuaded Zhou Yaoniang and her grandfather. The female relatives of the family came to help in her shop, and now the whole family had enough food and clothing, and they no longer had to worry about food and clothing.
The relationship between the two has become closer, and Zhou Yaoniang also gave up her stock to Chen Yan, and Chen Yan's shop is still Zhou Yaoniang's shop.
This time, she became Xiaochunshan's second shopkeeper.
Chen Yan took Zhou Yaoniang with her this time because she thought it might be of some benefit to Zhou Yaoniang if she got to know Princess Jin. After all, this woman's father is the head of a hundred officials, and her husband is His Highness the King of Jin with great military exploits.
The second point of selfishness is that she doesn't want to see Zhou Yaoniang looking bored in the store every day, so she deliberately takes Zhou Yaoniang out for a walk to see this vast world.
Zhou Yaoniang was just thinking about the changes in this period of time, and Chen Yan, who was standing aside, started to make jokes.
"Princess, Yaoniang is a stupid talker, let me introduce her. In fact, my Xiaochunshan branch can be opened because she has a share in it, and she arranged all the stores in my Xiaochunshan branch. . So she can be regarded as the shopkeeper of our shop. I thought she would come to meet the princess and become familiar with her. Even if I don't come to report someday, she can come over. "
Hearing what Chen Yan said, Jiang Nianjiao naturally nodded in welcome.
However, Chen Yan couldn't help but asked out of curiosity, "But Princess, what were you doing in the Zhou Mansion a few days ago?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yaoniang raised her head and looked at Jiang Nianjiao curiously.
Seeing that both of them looked curious, Jiang Nianjiao felt that there was nothing to say about this matter, but she still said, "It's nothing, we just picked up a girl some time ago. The girl has lost her memory. I'm helping her investigate." After investigating this matter, I found that the girl might be related to the Zhou Mansion, so I went to the Zhou Mansion to visit her."
Hearing this, Chen Yan immediately asked, "What happened next?"
Jiang Nianjiao smiled softly, "Later we went to the gate of Zhou Mansion, but the people in Zhou Mansion said they didn't know this girl."
After hearing this, everyone was a little disappointed.
At this moment, Zhao Youning smacked his mouth.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but said to the people around her, "You Ning is about to wake up. Please take this baby to Xiao Zi's place to coax her."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, the maid immediately called Xiao Zi's name.
Just a moment later, a woman wearing purple clothes appeared in front of everyone.
The moment Zhou Yaoniang saw the woman, she was completely stunned. She murmured, "Zijuan?"
The woman called Xiao Zi just looked at Zhou Yaoniang in confusion.
For a moment, Zhou Yaoniang even thought that she had recognized the wrong person.
But the person in front of her looked too much like Zi Juan. Even the mole between her eyebrows looked exactly like Zi Juan's.
When Jiang Nianjiao saw Zhou Yaoniang's expression, and she also called out a name, Jiang Nianjiao felt certain in her heart.
She immediately smiled and said, "What? Miss Zhou knows her?"
Zhou Yaoniang said awkwardly, "She is very similar to Zi Juan, my mother's personal maid, but I don't think she recognizes me. Maybe we have never met. It's just that they are too similar. That's why I admitted my mistake."
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly said, "Is it possible, girl, you didn't admit your mistake. She just doesn't remember you."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhou Yaoniang was obviously a little surprised, "How could that be?"
Jiang Nianjiao looked at Zhou Yaoniang and said word by word, "She is the girl I mentioned. She doesn't remember anything."
Hearing what Jiang Nianjiao said, Zhou Yaoniang finally understood something. She just looked at the woman in front of her quietly, and then asked Jiang Nianjiao, "Princess, where did you pick her up?"
Jiang Nianjiao whispered, "I picked her up from the bottom of the Weishui River. She must have been washed to the shore by the river."
"The place where she had memories was the official road above the Weishui River. She said that many people were chasing her, so she jumped into the river. And according to my understanding later, there were still people near the place she mentioned. There was an inn, and a very vicious murder case took place in that inn on the day of her accident. Three male servants and three maids in the Zhou Mansion were killed, one was lucky to be alive, and the whereabouts of another woman are unknown."
Hearing this, Zhou Yaoniang had nothing to doubt. She looked at Zijuan in front of her and said, "Everything is right, she is Zijuan! That day, my mother felt that she could not survive because of the false accusation made by the old maid. Living in this family, Zijuan's brother happened to be an official in the county government below. It is said that he was doing well, and his brother also asked to arrange a marriage for Zijuan. The mother did not want to delay Zijuan, and also wanted to let Zijuan marry her. When her family members were reunited, she specially let Zijuan go to her brother. She just didn't want something like that to happen that night."
After hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, everything was completely correct. Zhou Yaoniang was very happy.
"Fortunately, Zijuan is fine. My mother is still in heaven, so she can rest in peace."
Zijuan only looked at Zhou Yaoniang from the side. She was naturally very happy when she said she recognized her and matched the fragments she remembered.
Jiang Nianjiao was also happy for Zijuan.
Seeing the joy of the two of them, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but suggest, "Yao Niang, since Zijuan is a maid in your house, you should take her back."
Zhou Yaoniang was naturally happy when she heard that Zijuan could go back with her.
After all, now that all the old people in the mansion have been dismissed by Xu Tianyi, the mansion needs a housekeeper, and in terms of housekeeper ability, Zijuan is also good at it.
Jiang Nianjiao saw her happy look, and then said, "But you can't forget about helping Zijuan recover her memory. Since she was the key witness in the inn case that day, you might also want to go to Mr. Lu for help. He is re-examining the case, so if Xiao Zi is really Zi Juan, then she must know the inside story of the case that day. Maybe, she can recall some things. If you don't mind the trouble, wait until you remember something. Now, you can go find Mr. Lu as soon as possible. If you help him solve this case, maybe the person you are looking for will be caught faster."
After hearing that Jiang Nianjiao pointed out the path for her, Zhou Yaoniang was naturally even more grateful to Jiang Nianjiao. At the moment, she just nodded in agreement.
Although Zijuan hasn't remembered Zhou Yaoniang yet, because Zhou Yaoniang is familiar with her and knows all about her past, Zijuan may one day see familiar things and think of something again.
And this was the reason why Jiang Nianjiao was willing to let go of Xiao Zi.
Although Xiao Zi is somewhat reluctant to let go of Jiang Nianjiao, Xiao Zi is obviously still more persistent in retrieving her own memory.
Therefore, she had no objection to Jiang Nianjiao's arrangements.
Zi Juan and Zhou Yaoniang only thanked each other at the same time, but Jiang Nianjiao waved and said no.
Lan Jue happened to interrupt at this time, so Jiang Nianjiao naturally stopped mentioning the matter.
Afterwards, Lan Jue came to report the accounts. According to Lan Jue's reports, Xiaochunshan will naturally make a lot of money this year.
However, Lan Jue also reported a situation. After Jiang Nianjiao was almost injured by an assassin at the door last time, the business seemed to have deteriorated a lot.
