Quick Transmigration: She’s a Heartbreaker - Chapter 94
Jiang Xun’s thoughts moved slightly, he hesitated, and said, “I can’t bear to leave my grandmother so quickly.”
Mrs. Yan smiled sadly, “Grandma can’t bear you either, but you always want to marry, and grandma can’t keep you for a lifetime. Moreover, grandma is very old and just wants to watch you marry a child and live a good life. Well, my grandmother also has selfish intentions and doesn’t want you to marry away. This Xiao family is a prominent family in Beijing. If you marry and stay close, you can take care of it.”
Jiang Xun secretly sighed that this old lady Yan was indeed very good with her granddaughter, but it was a pity that the original owner was not real.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, her eyes rolled, and the original owner’s most eagerness is probably this kind of affection.
She whispered: “Grandma, can I think about it again?”
There was a trace of anxiety in her eyes, which made people feel distressed. The old lady Yan looked at her and her heart softened and said: “Okay, okay… My grandmother is relying on you, so it’s not in a hurry.”
Jiang Xun said touchedly: “Grandma is really nice.”
“Then Xiao’s family will hold a spring banquet in two days, so you can go there too.” Mrs. Yan said with a smile.
Jiang Xun nodded.
…
The spring banquet of the Xiao family was the day after tomorrow. Jiang Xun thought that 80% of the time in the Xiao Mansion, he would meet Su Xun who was pierced by the soul, so he decided to go out and inquire about the news. The original owner had previously heard that there was a tea shop in the capital. , You can inquire about the news.
The master behind the scenes does not know who it is, only that they have an intricate information network, and they have their placeholders in major mansions and restaurants and brothels, or bought maids and servants. Some insignificant news can be bought from here.
As long as you can afford the price, you can get the news you want to know, but about the secrets of the DPRK or the family secrets, it is not something ordinary people can buy.
Most of the people who go there to buy news are people who want to talk about marriage at home. They come here to buy news from the other party’s home, and inquire about the other party’s character and whether there is anything dirty.
Jiang Xun found a reason and said he was going to buy some books and tea, so Mrs. Yan asked her to accompany her out of the house.
She put on a curtain, covered her face, and rode a carriage to the busiest street in the capital.
Today, she only let Yingqiao accompany her, let Cen Bi stay at home to take care of the house, and gave her a few easy and ostentatious things to do. She distracted her without making her suspicious.
Jiang Xun first visited some gold and jade jewelry shops, and then went to check the rouge powder, before turning around to this tea shop.
The tea shop is very large. Generally, such a big shop has an interior room for distinguished guests to rest or choose goods. In this shop, if you want to inquire about the news, you have to talk in secret.
Jiang Xun asked Ying Qiao to wait outside, pretending to go in to pick tea leaves, and followed the shopkeeper into a well-insulated interior room.
Jiang Xun thought he had said his request, and he would have to wait at least one or two days to get the news he wanted, but the man said: “Coincidentally, the person you mentioned happened to be here yesterday. I have something ready. News about her.”
Jiang Xun raised his brows slightly. Tomorrow will be the Xiao Family Spring Banquet. If you can get the news today, it will be the best.
She whispered: “Make a price.”
The man smiled and said: “The girl is a refreshing person, this person is not important, fifty taels of silver is enough.”
Jiang Xun took out one hundred taels of silver from his sleeve, and the brilliant silver ingot dazzled the man’s eyes. Jiang Xun said lightly: “I’ll give you one hundred taels, let’s talk.”
The man was very happy, took the silver and put it in his arms, and said with a smile: “The girl inquired about this person is the maid of the Xiao family. The second young master of the Xiao family rescued the bandit a few days ago, saying that he has amnesia and has nowhere to go. , So he stayed in Xiao’s house, somehow pleased Xiao Mansion’s third wife, and stayed by her side. Who knew that a few days ago, she sneaked up on Xiao Er’s bed, and was found, injured, and almost kidnapped. The old lady drove out of the house, but the third wife of the Xiao family interceded, saying that it was a misunderstanding. In the end, for some reason, she asked her to stay for a few more days and leave as soon as her injuries improved.
The man talked freely and described the details very clearly.
Jiang Xun couldn’t help feeling funny when he heard him speak vividly.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Xun asked, “You said she was here yesterday, why did you come here?”
“What else can I do, of course, is to buy news, but she can’t afford the price of the news to buy, so she took a piece of jade pendant, the quality is good, I don’t dare to accept it.” The man smiled sarcastically.” If it weren’t for she brought a piece of jade, I wouldn’t have checked her. If you come today, you won’t be able to get the news you want so soon.”
Jiang Xun chuckled softly, too, now he’s just a maid who can have a few money, if the jade pendant is not rewarded by the master, or stolen, things are recorded in aristocratic families like Xiao Mansion, they don’t accept this thing. Here, if they want to buy news, they need real money, nothing else is accepted.
“What news is she here to buy.”
“She, she’s inquiring about the Chengguo Gongfu. As for the specifics, then you have to forget it.”
Jiang Xun blinked and took out another hundred taels.
“enough?”
The man’s eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: “Enough, of course. She’s here to ask about Su Xun’s granddaughter, Mrs. Yan, who has just returned to the palace.
…
On the second day, Jiang Xun followed several noble ladies from Yan’s Mansion to Xiao Mansion in a carriage.
Standing at the door were Xiao Jingyan, the eldest son of the Xiao family, and his wife, the eldest grandmother of the Xiao Mansion.
The flower banquet was held in the back garden of the Xiao Mansion. Everyone followed the maid through the long cyan stone paved corridor and saw a jasper-like lake facing him.
After passing the bluestone tunnel, we arrived at the back garden. While still some distance away, Jiang Xun saw many familiar people.
Several temporary pavilions have been set up in the garden, and the small pavilions built among the flowers are also unique and elegant.
The ladies who arrived early are already sitting in the pavilion and admiring the flowers.
For this flower viewing banquet, the Xiao Mansion made great efforts. Xiao Jingyan, the eldest son of the Xiao family, just got married last fall. His wife, Li, came from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and was not familiar with the powerful circle of the capital. The flower banquet let her know people and break into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
Just as spring is here, it is time for the noble ladies in the capital to talk about marriage and marriage. This flower banquet is also a blind date in disguise. The Xiao mansion almost treats the unmarried men and women of the famous nobleman Li in Beijing. All were invited, and some parents followed.
Jiang Xun’s arrival attracted a lot of gazes.
The fact that she won the first prize a few days ago has been spread. Everyone knows that the granddaughter of the old lady of Chengguo Gongfu is a talented woman who does not let her beard. Full of praise.
When I saw it now, she was indeed a stunning beauty, with her looks, figure, and temperament everywhere.
Jiang Xun is also a social expert. He chatted with the ladies and praised them one by one. Everyone had a good impression of her.
However, she still didn’t like to stay in the women’s pile, and it was boring to talk. It happened that Jiang Mansion came, and she walked to the other side of the garden while everyone was chatting.
I have to say that the garden in the Xiao Mansion is indeed beautiful, and it has been arranged again today. The flowers and plants are very beautiful, and the fragrance of the flowers is refreshing.
However, she hadn’t appreciated it for long, and suddenly saw Wei Mingyu.
Wei Mingyu dressed particularly conspicuously, with pretty makeup on his face, with delicate jade bells hanging around his waist, and there was a crisp sound as he walked.
She looked around, walking in a hurry, but did not find Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun blinked suspiciously and followed.
Unexpectedly, she went around in front of a bamboo forest. When Jiang Xun saw her stop, he hid and looked at her quietly.
“who is it?”
There was vigilance in the cold voice, it was Shen Xitang.
Jiang Xun was startled, but soon Wei Mingyu said: “General Shen, it’s me.”
“You… why are you here?” Shen Xitang’s voice was cold enough to freeze, even if Jiang Xun didn’t see his face, he could guess that his face was not good.
Wei Mingyu was very nervous, and her speech became vague, completely unlike the proud and arrogant woman she used to be.
“I… I have something to tell you.”
“Let’s talk.” Shen Xitang’s gaze suddenly drifted away.
“General Shen, I…I am pleased with you.”
Her voice was very small. Jiang Xun could barely hear her. She was taken aback, and said to her heart: This Wei Mingyu is so bold that he even confessed to Shen Xitang in private.
She pursed her lips, and suddenly felt bored and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she bumped into a wide chest and was held on her shoulders by a pair of big hands.
Jiang Xun halted his steps abruptly and looked up to see that it was the cold-faced prince Yan Shen.
Yan Shen’s cold eyes fell on her face, showing a look of disgust, and then pushed her away like a snake.
Jiang Xun was pushed back a few steps by him, and he stepped on the dry branches to make a sound.
She had a bad heart, and when she turned her head, she met Wei Mingyu’s angry and shocked eyes.
And Shen Xitang also looked at her with a playful look, the corners of his mouth seemed to be raised, and it didn’t seem to be. There was no trace of emotion on his face.
What he held in his hand was not the previous piece of warm jade that he carried with him, but replaced it with a string of Buddhist beads. His slender, white fingers were flicking the Buddhist beads one after another, and his eyes fixedly looked at her.
Jiang Xun felt strange to him.
Yan Shen asked in a cold voice, “What are you hiding here for?”
Jiang Xun scolded him a few words in his heart, but he was still calm and calm, not flustered, and whispered: “I didn’t hide.”
Yan Shen frowned, “Then why are you here?”
Jiang Xun raised his eyes to look directly at Yan Shen, his eyes soft as spring water, his focused eyes looked at Yan Shen not used to it, his brows became tighter, and he said in a deep voice, “This king asks you something, don’t hesitate to answer.”
Jiang Xun smiled indifferently, “Master Kang, everyone is enjoying flowers in Xiao Mansion today. The scenery here is very good, why can’t I be here?”
Her eyes were soft and clear, and she paused carefully, staring at her eyes, not knowing what to say for a while.
“The prince should be fine, right? Then I will leave first, and prince, please let me.” Jiang Xun turned around and left quickly after speaking.
After she left, Shen Xitang walked behind Yan Shen and fiddled with the Buddhist beads indifferently, “Why are you here?”
The author has something to say: Yan Shen: This woman must have deliberately ran into my arms and wanted to seduce me
Shen Xitang: Follow me, is it possible that you also want to confess?
Jiang Xun: Excuse me, goodbye
