Chapter 139 Blessings and Disasters
Some ladies and ladies who had attended the birthday banquet at the Hou Mansion and had seen Jiang Shuqie knowing about Heli's scandal watched the excitement with interest.
Now, no matter how thick-skinned Shen's mother and Shen Changze were, they were too embarrassed to continue entangled with each other, so they could only leave first and then make plans.
Fang Mingxu helped Jiang Shu out of trouble with just one word.
One code after another, Jiang Shu Zhili's Mingxu Qiao bowed slightly: "Thank you, Boss Fang."
"Boss Jiang, you're welcome." Fang Mingxu shook his folding fan and smiled gracefully.
Jiang Shu didn't even look at it, and helped Jiang's mother get into the carriage.
Looking at the closed car door, Fang Mingxu's hand holding the fan stiffened, feeling a little lonely.
He knew that Jiang Shu had a very bad impression of him, and it would be very difficult to win her favor.
But Fang Mingxu is also not interested in women who are easy to find.
He already has a huge fortune and has little interest in officialdom. The only thing he wants is to find a good wife.
After watching Jiang Shu's carriage drive away, Fang Mingxu returned to Mother Fang.
"Do you really like that girl?" Mother Fang asked.
Zhizi Mo Ruomu, she had just looked at him for a while, and Fang Mingxu's eyes had been glued to Jiang Shu. She had never seen him look at the woman next to him like this.
"Yes, in so many years, she is the only person who has made me think about marrying a wife." Fang Mingxu said frankly.
Upon hearing this, Mother Fang knew that she couldn't stop him, so she simply accepted it happily.
No matter what her status is, it is better to be willing to marry than not to marry at all. The worst thing is to train her well after marrying her back.
Looking at her sincerely moved son, Mother Fang smiled and joked: "Then you have to beg the Buddha carefully today."
Fang Mingxu nodded and worshiped Buddha sincerely for the first time.
On the carriage going down the mountain, Jiang's mother asked Jiang Shu: "Who is the young man who helped us just now? I see that he is very handsome and talented. Is he married and starting a family?"
Mother Jiang's words were obviously based on Fang Mingxu.
Jiang Shu was speechless, pursed his lips and said, "The owner of the salt merchant Fang family intercepted Boss Fang of Jiang Ji Silk Source Merchant."
"I don't know if he has a wife and a family, but he has a daughter who is three or four years old."
Jiang's mother choked after hearing this and asked in confusion: "Why does he want to help us?"
Since they are enemies and should be laughing at the joke, how can they help them out?
"I don't know, maybe Xu is having some bad ideas." Jiang Shu didn't have the slightest fondness for Fang Mingxu.
Jiang's mother also knew that given the relationship between the two families and that Fang Mingxu already had children, it was impossible to get married, so she gave up the idea and asked no more questions.
Thinking of Shen Changze and Shen's mother, Jiang's mother said worriedly: "Shen Hou and his mother stopped us, maybe they have ulterior motives."
In the past, when the two families were still in-laws, Mother Shen's calls were not as affectionate as they are today.
If things go wrong, there must be monsters. Jiang Shu frowned and said: "No matter what their plans are, we can just ignore them."
Mother Jiang nodded in agreement.
No matter how the Marquis of Jingan's mansion falls, it will still be the home of noble officials, and the Jiang family, as a merchant, cannot stand up to it.
This trip to pay homage to the Buddha made me feel half happy and half worried. I didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
When the mother and daughter returned to Jiang's house, it was lunch time, and the family sat together to eat.
Halfway through the meal, the concierge's servant came.
"Girl, Sun Mansion sent a post."
"That Sun Mansion?" Father Jiang was puzzled.
The servant handed over the post and replied: "Master Sun of Dali Temple."
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were startled when they heard this, and were a little flattered.
The Minister of Dali Temple, a family that many people have failed to make friends with, actually took the initiative to post a message to the Jiang family.
Jiang Shu was also a little surprised. He opened the post and took a look, and immediately smiled.
"But was it Miss Sun's post for you?" Jiang's mother remembered that Miss Sun's family had been here at the Jiang family's last banquet.
Jiang Shu nodded and said, "On May 18th, Miss Sun invites me to come over to attend the birthday party."
Today was the twelfth day, and there were only a few days left. She had to hurry up and prepare gifts.
"It doesn't matter if you make friends with some official ladies. If you run into trouble, there will be someone to help you." Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were very supportive.
They clearly remembered that the last time Jiang's father was seriously injured and in critical condition, it was King Jing and the eldest princess who came forward, invited Dr. Chen to treat him, and presented them with precious medicinal materials, so that Jiang's father could save his life.
"A young lady from an aristocratic family has seen a lot of the world, so you have to prepare your gifts carefully."
"Every daughter's family loves beauty, so give them jewelry."
Jiang's father and mother Jiang's mother didn't eat anymore and racked their brains to come up with suggestions for Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu was amused by them and said softly: "I know it well, don't worry about it, just eat quickly."
Thinking that Jiang Shu had been the mistress of the Hou Mansion for six years and knew how to interact with nobles better than they did, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang put their hearts in their stomachs.
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes and said: "Sister, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I will accompany you to pick out gifts."
Jiang Shu's apricot eyes took a look and knew that Jiang Ning was looking for an excuse to go out to play.
Thinking about it carefully, after Jiang's father's accident, Jiang Ning stayed at home to accompany her when she had free time. It has indeed been a long time since she went out to play on the streets.
After all, it is the nature of a young man to be playful.
"Okay, where do you want to go?" Jiang Shu asked while holding a dish.
Jiang Ning blurted out: "Watch the circus and sideshows, listen to books, and go to Cuiyun Tower to eat."
After hearing this, the three people raised their heads and stared.
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she had let something slip, and her handsome face turned slightly red.
The three people looked at his embarrassed look and laughed.
Jiang Ning couldn't bear to lose face and said harshly: "I really want to accompany my sister to pick out gifts. These are just by the way."
At the end of the sentence, Jiang Ning's voice weakened.
"It doesn't matter, sister wants to go too." Jiang Shu picked up a chicken wing for him and said, "Eat quickly, we will leave after eating."
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang looked at the two siblings who got along well with each other, smiling with relief.
When your children are older, it’s time to go out and see more of the world. It is not good to become a nerd if you are always stuck at home reading.
After lunch, Jiang's mother accompanied Jiang's father back to the house to drink medicine and take a nap, while Jiang Shu went out with Jiang Ning.
Jiang Shu brought Tanyu and Chuyu, and Jiang Ning brought his servant. The carriage could barely fit in them.
According to Jiang Ning, they first went to the juggling troupe to watch the juggling, and then went to the teahouse to listen to books.
After listening to the story, it was still early and it was not yet dinner time, so I went to Linglong Pavilion to pick up gifts.
Linglong Pavilion collects rare treasures from all over the world, and also sells exquisite jewelry, which is very popular among the nobles in Beijing.
When the siblings entered, there were many customers in the pavilion choosing to watch.
Jiang Ning loved looking at strange things, so she took Jiang Shu to appreciate them one by one.
The clerk felt very unhappy when he saw that they didn't buy after looking at them for a long time. But seeing that the two of them were well-dressed and well-dressed, they didn't dare to offend them, so they could only endure it.
After looking around the first floor, there was nothing rare. Jiang Ning said in a lack of interest: "Sister, let's go to the second floor."
Anyone who often comes to Linglong Pavilion knows that the really rare and valuable things are on the second and third floors.
Especially on the third floor, every item is worth thousands of gold and extremely precious.
"The things on the second floor are indeed better than those on the first floor." Jiang Ning picked up a lapis lazuli pen with bamboo patterns and couldn't put it down.
"Do you want it?" Jiang Shu asked knowingly.
Jiang Ning nodded like a fool, with a flattering look on her face: "Sister, if you buy this for me, I promise to pass the Jie Yuan exam next year."
Although the Jiang family is wealthy, Jiang Ning is only a teenager and has limited money at his disposal.
But Jiang Shu is different. Not only is she Jiang Ji's boss, but she also has a rich dowry brought back, so she can buy whatever she wants.
Jiang Shu was amused by Jiang Ning's vow. Just when he was about to agree, someone took the pen away from Jiang Ning's hand.
