New Year's Day.
Early in the morning, Tao Han came hand in hand with Qiuniang, carrying large and small bags of gifts to wish Jiang Rong New Year's greetings.
"Hello, Crown Princess! I wish you all the best and good luck in the new year!" Qiuniang saluted respectfully.
Tao Han also bowed and said, "New Year greetings to the Crown Princess, I wish you all your wishes will come true and good luck in the New Year."
After getting up early, Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi paid their respects to the old concubine and King Bei, and then returned to Jinyu Garden.
In previous years, she would go to Jiang's house to pay New Year's greetings.
But now the Jiang family is empty...
There is no need to go.
"This annual gift was sent by Mr. Chi." Tao Han pointed to a big box next to him and handed over a letter.
Jiang Rong took the letter, which was written by Chi Moyan himself.
Wish her a happy new year.
I feel very guilty for not being able to wish my mentor a happy new year in person. Enclosed was the specialties he bought in Yunhu.
Although no one has arrived, his heart is very sincere.
Jiang Rong unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.
Her natal family is gone, but looking at the people in front of her and the letters sent from thousands of miles away, she seems to still have a bunch of real family members.
"Mo Yan is interested." Jiang Rong put the letter away, looked at the two of them and said with a smile:
"Happy New Year to you too. I have prepared a New Year gift for you..."
Jade immediately presented two brocade boxes, which contained wads of large banknotes.
Wanjuan Study Room made a lot of money this year.
Jiang Rong had already prepared to give each of them a big red envelope at the end of the year.
"This... is too expensive." Qiuniang quickly declined.
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "My family, you don't have to be polite. You are all my confidants, and you deserve it!"
Her people should become famous together with her.
It was also the first time for Tao Han to meet such a generous host. With or without banknotes, he would go to pieces for his benefactor.
But the other party values them so much...
With his hard-hearted heart after going through so many things, he was also very moved.
"Let's have breakfast together. You guys came so early, so you probably haven't eaten yet, right?" Jiang Rong looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Yesterday, Li'er sent several bottles of new sauce, and Feicui and the others made some fresh snacks. You all have a taste.”
Jade is setting the table for breakfast.
Agate came to report, "Master Song Heng is here!"
Jiang Rong knew that he was now being used in an important role by the emperor, and did not want to affect his future. He told him early that there was no need to interact with her.
Seeing his master's surprise, Agate covered his mouth and smiled, "Early this morning, Mr. Song came to our house to run errands."
The entire court is on annual leave.
Song Heng serves in the Hanlin Academy and is recently responsible for compiling the military history of the Northern Desert War. The written articles need to be reviewed by the Northern King himself.
Of course, this matter will not be done on the first day of the new year.
But he wants to come to Jiang Rong to pay New Year's greetings.
So we took care of business and private matters together.
Xie Pingbei was shocked. I'm on vacation, junior, and you even come to deliver official duties in person...
You don't have to be so diligent.
But Song Heng had only been in the court for a short time, and he was already famous for his diligence. All the errands he took were done quickly and well. He never showed any favoritism and was very diligent. He often stayed up all night.
So others didn't think there was anything strange about it.
Isn't it just the first day of the Lunar New Year to go to the house to deliver official duties?
This is what Mr. Song is like!
Jiang Rong couldn't help but laugh. This guy……
"Students wish the Crown Princess a happy New Year. I wish you all the best!" Song Heng bowed his hands.
Jiang Rong smiled slightly, "Happy New Year, Mr. Song! Jade——"
Jade immediately presented another brocade box. This is a set of treasures from the study room that Jiang Rong selected, and he originally planned to send them over quietly.
The same goes for the annual gift prepared for Chi Moyan.
"Sister-in-law—" Xie Ruojiao was about to come in, holding her brother's hand, when she saw a familiar figure in the room, and her footsteps stopped immediately.
With lightning speed, he turned around and ran away.
Xie Lingan was left alone, with a confused look on his face.
Didn’t you say that you want to pay New Year greetings to your brother and sister-in-law together?
Two quarters of an hour later.
Xie Ruojiao comes back with a new look. She slept very late last night and was too sleepy to get up in the morning, so she had to pay New Year greetings to her elders, brothers and sister-in-law to stay energetic...
I just planned to take a nap after celebrating the New Year.
So I didn’t dress up carefully, I wore no makeup, my hair was pulled up loosely, I just put on some clothes, and I didn’t even wear any accessories because I didn’t think it was troublesome...
Woohoo.
Who knew that I would meet my sweetheart!
Xie Ruojiao hurried back to dress up carefully. She was also worried that Song Heng would leave soon, so she urged the maids to comb her hair, put on makeup and change clothes...
He came in a hurry.
Fortunately...
Song Heng is still there.
Jiang Rong left them to have breakfast together. Everyone had just finished eating.
"New Year's greetings to sister-in-law..." Xie Ruojiao bowed to Jiang Rong first, then pretended to be casual and said:
"Ah, Mr. Song is here too."
Jiang Rong couldn't help but laugh.
Qiuniang also lowered her head and tried hard to hold back her smile.
Tao Han was silent. Miss Xie Er, everyone saw you just now...
"Hello, Miss Xie, I've been here since just now." Song Heng said politely.
Just now……
Xie Ruojiao's smile was stiff, ah ah, Song Heng saw her ugly look!
Xie Ruojiao instantly became listless.
"It's getting late, so Heng will leave first." Song Heng looked at Jiang Rong and said.
Seeing Xie Ruojiao's wilted look, Jiang Rong couldn't help laughing and said, "Jiaojiao, give this to Mr. Song."
Xie Ruojiao responded gloomily.
Send Song Heng out.
There is no longer the chattering appearance of the past.
Song Heng felt a little strange, "Second Miss, what trouble did you encounter?"
"I..." Xie Ruojiao bit her lip and lowered her head. She was embarrassed to speak, but she couldn't hide her words. When she came to the door, she finally couldn't help but ask:
"Song Heng, I...didn't you see what I was doing just now?"
"I see clearly." Song Heng replied affirmatively.
"I didn't even comb my hair just now... I'm too embarrassed to see you..." Xie Ruojiao wanted to cry.
Song Heng was surprised, and couldn't help but smile after realizing it, and said:
"Clear water produces hibiscus, and the carvings will be removed naturally. Second lady, there is no need to worry about it."
Xie Ruojiao's eyes suddenly lit up, he praised her for her beauty!
Song Heng praised people for their literary talent!
The dejected Xie Ruojiao suddenly smiled happily.
Seeing her smile, Song Heng nodded slightly and smiled back.
……
Jinyuyuan, study.
"Young Master, Ye Yan sent urgent news from thousands of miles away!" Jingzhe presented a mailbox.
Xie Lingxi unfolded it and took a look...
Star Country, Ice Jade Sunflower.
Although the Fanxing royal family has blocked the news of obtaining the strange medicine, Ye Yan's intelligence network is not a vegetarian.
The spies lurking in the stars immediately sent back the information.
The royal family of Fanxing is full of hostility towards the Xie family. Because many of his ancestors were beaten to death by the Xie family back then...
Of course, I was also very scared.
They never dare to provoke the Xie family, but they will never be willing to give the treasure in their hands to the Xie family.
Now Wanjin Trading Company has become a visible influence of the Xie family.
If you want to get the medicine, you have to change your identity and go to the Western Region.
