Chapter 138 Bad luck
Seeing those longing and appraising eyes, Mother Jiang shook her head.
"Reading books is an elegant and elegant thing. Achieving success in learning can also bring glory to the ancestors and change the destiny. However, they use it as a shortcut to climb the dragon and the phoenix."
Jiang's mother is very shameless about such behavior.
Jiang Shu felt that there was no need to laugh at anyone else.
It is true that these scholars have ulterior motives, but are those wealthy people simply pure?
There isn't much truth to be said about things in this world, it's just about your wishes and my wishes.
The mother and daughter talked, and Zhaojue Temple arrived soon.
Perhaps because of the auspicious day, many people came to Zhaojue Temple today to offer incense and worship the Buddha. There were many horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the mountain gate, making it very lively.
Most of the noble ladies wore curtains and hats, making them invisible.
But small households and ordinary wealthy homes don't have to pay so much attention, and they can come and go at will.
As for Jiang Shu, she shows up in men's clothing every day and has no worries.
With pious hearts, the mother and daughter climbed up the steps in front of the temple and entered the temple's treasure hall to pray sincerely.
After offering incense and paying homage to the Buddha, the mother and daughter went to ask for fortune-telling. All the fortune-tellings they obtained were good luck, and they were in a good mood.
Especially Jiang Shu's marriage lottery made Jiang's mother smile from ear to ear with satisfaction.
The wind rustles the bamboo, only the golden pendant rings. The moon moves the shadows of flowers, and it is suspected that a beautiful woman has come.
The interpreter said that this is an auspicious sign, indicating that good things are coming soon.
"Today's trip was not in vain." Mother Jiang smiled happily, and the mother and daughter left the temple together.
Jiang Shu's pretty face was shy, smiling and saying nothing.
She was thinking of Yu Zheng when she asked for the signature, and she also thought of Yu Zheng when the master interpreted the signature.
Good things are coming soon, which means that she and Yu Zheng will fall into place and everything will go smoothly.
Jiang Shu felt happy in his heart. When he went down the stairs, he looked up at the road and saw a familiar face.
"Boss Jiang?" Fang Mingxu, who was helping his mother up the steps, sounded suspicious and unsure.
The woman in front of her is wearing a spring-green hibiscus gauze skirt with white feathers, which outlines her slender figure. Her black hair is half rolled down to her waist, and she wears a gold-encrusted jade rocker on her exquisite bun, and her face is filled with a bright smile.
This was the first time that Fang Mingxu saw Jiang Shu in women's clothing. After dressing up, Jiang Shu looked as beautiful as a fairy, gentle and dignified. Her temperament was so different from that of her in men's clothing that he almost didn't recognize her.
But that face was so familiar that Fang Mingxu couldn't look away.
"Boss Fang." The smile on Jiang Shu's face faded, and his expression was indifferent.
Fang Mingxu wears a golden crown on his head, a blue silk dress with golden edges, a jade belt on his waist and a folding fan in his hand. His handsome face always has a smile on his face, giving him the image of a gentle, elegant and easy-going noble man.
But Jiang Shu knew very well that this was an insidious and deadly poisonous snake.
Not wanting to talk to Fang Mingxu, Jiang Shu took Jiang's mother and left.
Fang Mingxu came back to his senses and felt a little regretful.
Fang's mother didn't know why and was still chattering on the sidelines.
"I'm here today to ask you for a marriage, so you have to be more sincere. You are nearly thirty years old, and the girl born by my concubine is already four years old. It's time to get a wife."
"That's what mother said." Fang Mingxu responded, then his eyes flashed and he said: "What does mother think of the girl just now?"
"Who was that just now?" Mother Fang turned around, stood on the stone steps and looked down.
Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother stepped down the stone steps and were walking towards the Jiang family's carriage. Pingting's back was graceful and graceful. Her every step was measured and appropriate, and there was no fault in it.
"Whose daughter is that?" Mother Fang didn't know Jiang Shu's identity, so she thought she was a lady from a wealthy family.
Fang Mingxu gently shook his folding fan and said, "Jiang Ji's new boss, Jiang Shu."
"She is Jiang Ji's female boss?" Mother Fang was shocked.
A few days ago, Jiang Shu took over Jiang Ji and became a female proprietor, but this shocked the Beijing business circle.
Seeing Jiang Shu today, Fang's mother was even more shocked.
It is really amazing that such a pretty girl can be in charge of a business.
"But she is a person of harmony." Mother Fang frowned slightly.
If she were an innocent girl, Jiang Ji would be a good match if she married the Fang family.
But for a woman who has been married before, no matter how good she is, she still has to be a little lower than her. If she marries someone to be a real wife, she will always feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Fang Mingxu looked at the beautiful figure in the distance with firm eyes: "My son doesn't mind."
Over the years, Fang Mingxu had already seen through the flowers and concubines. Compared with those so-called innocent and vulgar fans, unique beauty is hard to find.
Furthermore, if you marry Jiang Shu, you can get Jiang Ji effortlessly, killing two birds with one stone.
"Are you really attracted to her?" Mother Fang asked, holding her hands.
Fang's father died of illness a few years ago, and Fang Mingxu is already the head of the Fang family. If he makes up his mind, no one can stop him.
Fang Mingxu was about to speak when he suddenly saw that Jiang Shu seemed to be arguing with someone.
"Mom, I'll go take a look later." Fang Mingxu put away the folding fan and quickly walked down the steps.
In front of the mountain gate where carriages were parked, Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother, surrounded by Tan Yu and their maids, walked towards the Jiang family's carriage.
There were so many cars and horses today that they were so crowded that they couldn't move out of the way. Mother Jiang's maid was almost hit by an approaching carriage.
Fortunately, everyone is fine, it was just a false alarm. Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother thought that it would be better to do less than to do more, so as not to accidentally offend the noble and get into trouble.
Just as they were about to leave in peace, the people in the car opened the curtains and saw them and shouted to stop them.
"Jiang Shu."
Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Shu raised his eyes and met Shen Changze's surprised gaze.
What bad luck!
The car door opened, and Shen Changze and Shen's mother walked out of the car.
"In-laws, Shu'er. What a coincidence, you are also here to offer incense." Mother Shen greeted Jiang's mother Jiang Shu with a smile on her face.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Shen's mother was selling in her gourd.
But one thing they knew was that they no longer wanted to have anything to do with the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
"Mrs. Shen, please respect yourself. The Jiang family has nothing to do with the Hou family." Jiang's mother said coldly and pulled Jiang Shu away.
However, Shen Changze and Shen's mother stopped them from leaving.
"Don't be upset, in-laws. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's find a place to sit down and have a few words."
Hearing this, Jiang Shu was shocked by Shen's mother's shamelessness.
"Mrs. Shen and I are not familiar with each other. I have nothing to say. Please get out of the way." Mother Jiang spoke straightforwardly, with disgust written all over her face.
Anyone who wants some shame should avoid it at this time.
But Shen's mother didn't know what kind of evil she was possessed by today, but she just refused to give in with a shy smile.
She poked Shen Changze's arm, signaling for him to speak.
Shen Changze glanced at the pilgrims coming and going around him, clenched his hands and said bravely: "Jiang Shu, I have something to tell you."
Staring at Shen Changze with cold apricot eyes, Jiang Shu said sarcastically: "Marquis Shen and I have nothing to say."
She didn't know why Shen Changze was crazy today, but seeing more and more people watching curiously, she just wanted to leave quickly.
Facing Jiang Shu's ruthless expression, Shen Changze felt a little confused and turned red with annoyance.
Just as he was about to speak, a man in silk clothes came out from behind Jiang Shu.
"Young Lord Shen is so busy with things, yet you still don't forget your filial piety to accompany your mother and pay homage to the Buddha. It's really admirable."
Fang Mingxu deliberately shouted loudly to reveal Shen Changze's identity to attract others' attention.
"Hey, it's really Marquis Shen and Mrs. Shen. I thought I saw it wrong."
"The girl in front of Marquis Shen looks so familiar... isn't she the former Madam Marquis?"
"What's going on? It's been more than half a year since we were separated, and Marquis Shen still refuses to let go?"
