After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

The three of them arrived at the restaurant. He Zhao had already booked a private room. When the three of them went upstairs, He Zhao met an acquaintance.

The young man didn't seem to be from Bianjiang City. The two exchanged a few pleasantries. The young man saw Jiang Sheng standing behind He Zhao and asked with a smile:

"This is my sister-in-law, right?"

He Zhao quickly explained

"Brother Qin, please don't talk nonsense. This is Dr. Jiang, my son's savior."

The man surnamed Qin said in surprise

"You mean this girl is Dr. Jiang!"

Jiang Sheng bowed and said

"I don't deserve such a title. I only know a little bit about medicine."

"Doctor Jiang, don't be so modest. Your name has already spread all over Lingbei. I came to Lingbei recently just to ask you to see me."

But he was also very perceptive and knew that they were busy, so he said

"However, Dr. Jiang is busy today. I will pay a formal visit to him after the Lantern Festival."

Then he said goodbye and left.

The three of them sat down in the private room. He Zhao poured him a cup of tea and said

"The man just now is named Qin Liwen, and he is from Qingbei City. Qingbei City is only two or three days away from Bianjiang City, so it is relatively close.

The Qin family made their fortune in Qingbei City by brewing wine, and later on they also got involved in businesses such as cloth and gambling. The people of Qingbei City may not know who the county magistrate is, but they definitely know who the head of the Qin family is. He is considered a wealthy family that does both black and white business."

However, Jiang Sheng felt that He Zhao was not much inferior to him.

After all, the He family's family background is there, so it's no wonder that the two of them knew each other.

"You have a good relationship?"

He Zhao lowered his head and smiled

"Business is like a battlefield, where can we find friends? Some of our current partners are quite harmonious, but if there is a conflict, it will be hard to say."

After all, they are not kind-hearted people.

Qin Liwen has to shoulder the responsibility of the Qin family, so doesn't he also have a heavy responsibility?

So they know better than anyone that they don't need friends.

Seeing that she didn't speak, He Zhao subconsciously thought that he didn't agree with what he said, so he said

"But you think what I said is wrong?"

Jiang Sheng shook her head. She agreed with this point of view very much.

"On the battlefield, there are real swords and guns, but in the business world, there is no smoke of war. I have also seen many cases where people's entire property was taken away because they trusted the wrong person... But..."

"It's just that people are different. I've also seen two families cooperate for generations and ultimately achieve a win-win situation. So if I meet someone I can trust, I'm still willing to give my trust."

He Zhao was stunned for a second, then smiled.

"I suddenly understand why Yuanbao likes you so much."

Jiang Sheng said very seriously

"Is it because I'm beautiful?"

He Zhao laughed loudly.

"What Divine Doctor Jiang said is true. She is indeed as beautiful as a flower."

Lian Li, who was waiting outside the door, was very surprised. How long had it been since their second master was so happy? This divine doctor Jiang was really extraordinary.

Lian Li was He Zhao's confidant, so he naturally knew that the old man of the He family intended to match up Doctor Jiang and their second master.

But according to his observation, the Second Master and Doctor Jiang both regarded each other as friends and did not seem to have that intention.

But after seeing him today, Lian Li became a little uncertain.

After the three of them had their meal, they went to the market town for a stroll. Yuanbao was still young, so he fell asleep halfway through the stroll.

It was cold at night, so Jiang Sheng suggested going back, and they got on the carriage and went back.

On the way back to Jiang's house, Jiang Sheng took out an exquisite brocade box from his sleeve.

"This is my birthday gift for Xiao Yuanbao. I forgot to take it out when we were having dinner. Please help me pass it on tomorrow."

He Zhao was not polite and accepted the brocade box.

"Thank you."

The carriage stopped and Lian Li's voice came from outside.

"Second Master, we've arrived at Jiang's residence."

When Jiang Sheng was about to get off the carriage, He Zhao suddenly said

"Jiang Sheng, thank you for today."

Jiang Sheng turned around and smiled and said

"You are one of the few acquaintances I have in Jiangcheng. We can be considered friends, right? In that case, why should I thank you? Besides, Xiao Yuanbao is really cute. I like him very much."

After saying that, he got off the carriage. He Zhao sat in the carriage and said to himself

"Friends?"

I have to say, it really makes people feel comfortable to get along with Jiang Sheng.

She was indeed different from many of the women I had known before.

With He Zhao's status, even though he already had a legitimate son, he still attracted many people in Bianjiang City. In the past, he was often met by people in various ways in Bianjiang City, and some people even reached out to Xiao Yuanbao.

He Zhao was not tired of it, so he left with Yuanbao.

He Zhao was not a lustful person and was precocious. Even when he was young, he could see through people who approached him with ulterior motives. Therefore, he was very indifferent to friendship and love, and even made the He family think that he had no desires.

If his mother hadn't pressed him hard at the beginning, he wouldn't have thought of that method and given birth to little Yuanbao.

Everything went as he wished after that. No one forced him to get married and have children. He lived a carefree life with his son.

But now that he had come into contact with Jiang Sheng, he suddenly realized that there really was a woman who did not care about his family background or money, and only treated him as He Zhao.

There were no obvious calculations or purposes in her eyes, no flattery or humble fawning, and even less any love affairs.

She really just treats herself as a friend, and her sincerity is really touching.

He Zhao suddenly felt an inexplicable confidence in Jiang Sheng. He thought that they would become good friends in the future.

"Second Master, Dr. Jiang has already gone in. Should we go back too?"

"Go back."

next day

The Lantern Festival is the last day of the market town. The gates between the inner city, outer city and small outer city are wide open. Passes that were previously only available to those in the inner city can now be obtained. Anyone who has obtained a pass can pass freely.

When Jiang Sheng heard the news, she was very happy. She immediately went to the county government to get passes for people from the Lu and Liu families. Today she planned to bring the two families together to celebrate.

Jiang Sheng planned to see patients in the clinic during the day. When the time came, he would take his grandfather and his uncle's family to the small outer city to pick up his grandfather and others.

When everyone was gathered, they went back to the inner city to have dinner, and the emperor took them to visit the market in the inner city.

There weren't many people seeing the doctor today, so the clinic was closed early in the afternoon. Grandfather was urged by his aunt Sun Hongyue to change his clothes. As soon as the family had finished packing, Nanzhu came back and said

"Miss, I heard that there are too many people applying for passes this year, so the city gates are opened early. We can leave now."

"That's great, no need to wait."

A few people got on the carriage and went to the small outer city. The Lu family had been waiting there for a long time.
