Although she has no connection with the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, she still has some friendship with Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao. Especially in Qi County last year, Shen Changhuai helped her.
Having been despised and ridiculed for many years, Jiang Shu knew very well that if Wang Yueyao had no one to help her, it would be difficult for her to integrate into the circle of officials in the capital, just like she had been all these years.
this……
The couple looked at each other and finally accepted it with guilt.
"Thank you, Princess."
They understood that what they accepted was not only the brocade silk, but also Jiang Shu's friendship.
It's just that they can't repay them, and they feel really guilty.
Jiang Shu knew what the two of them were thinking, put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice: "When people interact with each other, it's about love and communication. It's not about business, so there is no need to care about gains and losses."
Just like Yu Lan and Sun Yijun always helped her in the past, she couldn't give them anything in return, she could only treat them sincerely.
"What the princess said is that we are shallow and narrow-minded." Wang Yueyao sighed, no longer depressed.
She should have understood that whether she was a merchant's daughter or a royal princess, Jiang Shu had never been a person who made friends based on profit.
Seeing that she had figured it out, Jiang Shu smiled and said, "Are the child and Aunt Liu okay?"
Wang Yueyao also smiled: "It's all good. My aunt always misses the princess, especially after returning to Beijing."
"The princess's feat is really admirable. Women all over the world are proud of the princess."
After opening her heart, Wang Yueyao talked about the rumors she heard after returning to Beijing, and saw Jiang Shu's eyes filled with admiration and yearning.
There are thousands of women in the world, and there are many who have lofty ideals, but there is no one like Jiang Shu who can truly achieve this.
Not only must you have a righteous heart and strong financial support, but you must also have a shrewd mind and a tough mind.
Shen Changhuai also said: "The princess' behavior is far better than that of a man."
Jiang Shu was a little embarrassed by the praise, so he coughed and said: "It's all within my ability, Dazhao is also my home. If we don't talk about this anymore, are you still living in the Hou Mansion?"
Jiang Shu changed the subject and asked about their arrangements.
Shen Changhuai nodded and said: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law went to the border, but no one in the Hou Mansion could support me. Grandma and the others had no plans to separate the family, so they had no choice but to live back in the old yard."
"Mrs. Marquis Shen also went to the border gate?" Jiang Shu was slightly surprised and immediately admired Cheng Jinchu.
The border battlefield is not a place for entertainment, and it is not something that ordinary women can go to.
Putting aside personal grievances, Cheng Jinchu's courage to go into battle to kill the enemy is still worthy of praise.
Wang Yueyao said: "Originally, I was worried about how I would get along with her after returning to Beijing, but I didn't expect that she would go to the border. I was relieved."
She has not met Cheng Jinchu, but judging from Shen Changhuai's brief description, various hearings, and what Cheng Jinchu has done, she is afraid that he is not an easy person to get along with.
Apart from other things, judging from the fact that Jiang Shu was forced to leave and Xu Lingyi was unable to conceive again, Cheng Jinchu was not a kind person.
"You and her have no competing interests, and we should be able to get along well." Jiang Shu comforted softly.
Wang Yueyao sighed: "I hope so."
She has a calm temperament, doesn't like to fight with others, and she doesn't tolerate intrigues. She just wants to live a peaceful life. If possible, she hopes to separate from the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.
It's just that there is only one man in the house, Shen Changhuai, to support him, so it is definitely impossible to separate the family.
That’s all, let’s go and see.
After a few simple words about home affairs, Jiang Shu stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to pick brocade silk."
Shen Changhuai Wang Yueyao stood up immediately and said anxiously: "If the princess is busy, don't worry about us."
Jiang Shu smiled and said, "No matter how busy you are, there is no rush for this moment."
Having said this, the two of them couldn't shirk anymore, so they had to follow Jiang Shu to choose.
The brocade silks were all displayed according to grade. Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao only chose from the pile of silks at the end, and after hesitating for a long time, they picked two pieces.
Jiang Shu couldn't stand it anymore and decided to make his own choice for them.
"These three horses have calm colors and simple patterns, which are suitable for Changhuai. These horses have bright colors but are not ostentatious, which is suitable for you. This one is suitable for Aunt Liu, and, by the way, there are children..."
Jiang Shu was meticulous and thoughtful and picked everything for their family.
Wang Yueyao looked at the large pile picked out by Jiang Shu and exclaimed: "There are too many, we can't use so many, my aunt and the children have not left the house..."
"Yue Yao, this is what I want, just this once." Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes and stared at her.
Wang Yueyao looked at her, unable to say anything, only grateful.
Shen Changhuai opened his mouth and said, 'Thank you. ’
Seeing that they no longer refused, Jiang Shu called the embroiderer to tailor the clothes for them.
Jiang Shu was very measured and knew that given Shen Changhuai's official rank, he shouldn't wear clothes that were too conspicuous, so he deliberately chose mid-level clothes.
Wang Yueyao thought about Jiang Shu's thoughtfulness and once again felt sorry for the loss of her eldest sister-in-law, and was sincerely happy that she was reborn.
After the two of them took measurements and decided on the styles, Jiang Shu personally sent them off.
Before getting on the carriage, Shen Changhuai turned back and took a deep look at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu waved to him, gently and brightly.
Just like how Jiang Shu stood in front of the gate of Jing'an Marquis Mansion to see him off when he was released from Beijing many years ago.
Shen Changhuai smiled back, feeling relieved.
No matter what happened in the world or what her status was, Jiang Shu would always be his eldest sister-in-law in his heart.
Watching the carriage merge into the crowd of people on the long street, Jiang Shu turned around and continued to patrol the shops.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the tenth day of November. Jiang Shu and Jiang's father had checked the accounts of each shop together, and Jiang's father was preparing to leave for the south to do business.
After lunch, Jiang's father considered explaining to Jiang's mother.
As the father and daughter expected, Mother Jiang was excited and reacted greatly.
"If you insist on going, then I will go with you. Anyway, if you go alone, I will feel uneasy and uneasy."
Father Jiang said with a headache: "You have never traveled far. You are so pampered and can withstand the fatigue of carriages and horses. Following me will only cause trouble for me. I have been in business for so many years, and I only had that one accident, and it was man-made."
"Now that they are all dead, what are you worried about? Can they turn into ghosts and harm me?"
"Yes." Mother Jiang answered, her eyes red and moist.
Although the theory of ghosts and gods was illusory, she couldn't afford to bet on what might happen.
"You are completely unreasonable." Jiang's father clapped his hands with a look of helplessness on his face, turned to look at Jiang Shu, and motioned for her to persuade Jiang's mother.
Apricot eyes flashed, and Jiang Shu said, "I think Mom is right to be worried."
What?
Father Jiang's eyes widened and he looked at Jiang Shu in disbelief.
Did you agree to help him persuade him? Why did you switch sides in the face of battle?
Seeing Jiang Shu standing on her side, Jiang's mother let out a sigh of relief and felt better. She said angrily to Jiang's father: "You won't listen to my words, and you won't listen to Shu'er's words either?"
Jiang's father became anxious and glared at Jiang Shu: "Why are you..."
Jiang Shu gave Father Jiang a calm look and said seriously: "So we have to go to Zhaojue to ask for a peace charm, and then a ghost-expelling charm. In this way, dad will be safe and sound, and no ghosts will invade him. "
Jiang's father's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he secretly praised in his heart: That's great.
Why didn't he think of that!
Mother Jiang looked stunned, she even forgot to be angry.
