The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 33 Insidious Backstab!
Jiang Yaonian frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xing'er shook her head, "The princess didn't say."
Jiang Yaonian said, "I understand. You go first, I'll be there in a while," and then left in a hurry.
……
Xing'er came to the upper room to answer.
Not only Princess Jingying and her two maids were in the room, but also several relatives of the Jiang family.
Sitting next to Madam Jiang was her great-niece Liu Dongzhi, who looked gentle and generous. She came today to pay her respects to Madam Jiang and to visit her cousin.
Everyone laughed and talked while praising Old Madam Jiang.
Xing'er replied, "Madam, the young master said he would be here soon."
Madam Jiang was startled after hearing this, and then asked casually, "Oh? What's the matter? Is it so urgent?"
"The young master didn't say anything, but it seemed like he had an appointment to discuss something, so he left in a hurry."
Madam Jiang nodded and said, "Oh, then it seems that they must be very familiar people. Those who often come to our house are probably Xue Han, Chao Fan, Ruoting and others."
Xing'er shook her head and said, "No, the young master didn't bring anyone with him, but went to the garden alone."
Madam Jiang shook her head and smiled, "This is really strange! I'll have to ask about it after Nian'er comes back."
Princess Jingying smiled sweetly and said softly, "Oh! What a coincidence that I came here today!
I originally brought some fresh bitter fish and planned to ask the old lady and Mr. Jiang to taste it, but who knew that I missed it. Since Mr. Jiang has guests to meet, then please let the old lady eat it first. Bitter fish is eaten fresh, it will not taste good if it is left for a long time. "
As he said that, he ordered Xuehui to open an exquisite lacquer food box. Immediately, the room was filled with a cool and refreshing scent of melon, and everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed when they smelled it!
Princess Jingying took out two plates of fruit vinegar and a jade bowl with her slender hands. The jade bowl was filled with white smoothie, and the smoothie was covered with slices of bitter fish as thin as cicada wings, giving off bursts of fresh melon scent.
Princess Jingying personally picked up a piece of fish fillet for Madam Jiang and placed it on the plate, saying sweetly, "Madam, please! I remember you like this fish fillet the most."
After taking a bite, Madam Jiang nodded and smiled, "It's amazing that you still remembered and personally brought it all the way here. It's a pity that Nian'er is not here, so I won't have the pleasure of tasting it now!"
Liu Dongzhi at the side smiled meaningfully and said, "This kind of bitter fish can only be found in cold ponds with clean water. It grows slowly, only reaching the size of a palm in seven or eight years. It dies as soon as it leaves the water. It is notoriously expensive and difficult to catch!
But the princess was able to get such a large plate, which shows that she is really filial to her aunt, better than us granddaughters!"
As soon as this was said, several other female relatives echoed: "That's right, why don't we have such filial piety."
After hearing this, Princess Jingying raised her big watery eyes and glanced at Liu Dongzhi, then smiled and said nothing. She then ordered Xuehui to take another food box, open the lid and take out six plates of snacks, namely a plate of milk-crispy black plum cakes, a plate of hawthorn cakes, a plate of pepper and salt sweet cakes, a plate of emerald tea cakes, a plate of malt jelly cakes and a plate of cherry pie fillings.
Jingying looked at Madam Jiang tenderly and obediently, and said in a soft voice: "I made these myself. Madam, please try them and see if they suit your taste. They are all shortbreads that are easy to chew."
Madam Jiang picked up a piece and took a bite, then smiled at Yue'er and said, "These snacks should be eaten with tea. Go make a pot of strong tea, and don't add sugar or milk."
After a while, a pot of freshly brewed strong tea was served. Everyone drank tea, ate snacks and chatted. Liu Dongzhi looked at Jingying's skirt and asked with a smile, "The dress the princess is wearing today is very unique. It's not like the ordinary ones on the market. I wonder where it was made?"
When everyone took a closer look, they found that it was indeed true: the light blue skirt was covered with white datura flowers. Upon closer inspection, they found that each flower was carefully embroidered with ice silk, sparkling with a crystal luster. It looked both elegant and precious, and one could tell at a glance that it was worth a lot of money!
Jingying said generously, "My cousin, you have good taste. This skirt was recently made by me and I wore it for the first time today. I asked a new embroiderer to make it. It took me half a year to make it."
Everyone asked curiously, "Is it because the workmanship of this dress is complicated?"
Jingying shook her head and said, "That's not the case! This embroiderer is very famous. Although she is very young, she is already one of the few embroidery masters in the capital. There are so many ladies who want to ask her to make clothes. You have to wait in line for a long time before you can get a turn. I only found her through someone's introduction."
At this point she suddenly changed the subject, sighed softly, and then said with regret: "Alas, what a pity, it is impossible to ask her to do it in the future, otherwise I would introduce her to you!"
Liu Dongzhi was surprised and asked, "Oh? Why is that?"
Jingying sighed softly and remained silent when she heard this.
Everyone's curiosity was aroused and they all asked what was going on.
Jingying said nothing. Bingsui, the maid beside her, said, "The embroiderer was caught having a secret meeting with someone in the middle of the night. She was so ashamed and scared that she fell ill. Her family is going to report the man to the government."
"what???"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking: It seems that such a good skill has been wasted! A clever girl actually did such a shameless thing!
Liu Dongzhi spoke for everyone else, "I never thought such a smart and capable person would do such a stupid thing! What a pity! Such a good skill is wasted. But I don't know the name of this embroiderer. Tell us so that we can avoid bad luck."
Jingying smiled and said, "That's right! I originally wanted to introduce her to my mother to make some clothes, but now it's impossible! What a pity, she's quite a pretty girl with a nice name, her last name is Yao, Yao Qinghe."
After everyone heard this, they whispered a few words, and all of them showed a look of disdain and contempt on their faces.
After hearing this, Madam Jiang's face suddenly darkened!
Jingying couldn't help but smile when she saw this, and said softly, "Madam, why hasn't Mr. Jiang come yet?"
……
In Linwan Pavilion, Qinghe was staring at the lake and the maple forest in a trance, not noticing that there was a person behind her.
After a long time, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip, and couldn't help wondering: Why hasn't he come yet?
Just when she was about to find someone to ask, she turned around and suddenly found that Jiang Yaonian had come at some point and was standing behind her without saying a word!
Qinghe, who was not mentally prepared at all, was shocked!
In a hurry, she didn't know what to say for a moment. She just moved her lips, but nothing came out. Her clear eyes stared blankly at Jiang Yaonian...
Her panicked look made Jiang Yaonian smile faintly, and he asked softly, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Qinghe lowered her head silently.
She didn't know why, but from the first time they met until now, every time she saw Mr. Jiang, she felt her scalp tingling!
I feel a cold and dangerous aura emanating from him!
It makes people want to run away involuntarily!
This time is no exception.
It took Qinghe a while to calm down before she was able to overcome her psychological barrier.
She cleared her throat, looked at him and said, "Mr. Jiang, I came here today to ask for something."
Jiang Yaonian couldn't help but smile after hearing this!
He looked up at the maple forest in the distance, then looked down at her and said, "Did you come to tell me today that you don't plan to cancel the engagement after you thought it through?"
