Chapter 382 Your plan really came true
"How come you have time to come here today?" Jiang Suining came forward with a smile.
Recently, Shen Yanxi has been very busy due to the visits of envoys from various countries. The last time they met was when Shen Yanxi came to tell her the result of the handling of the third prince.
"Everything is almost ready. You don't have to stay in the palace today. I heard that Zhanxing Tower has booked a lot of banquets. I thought you would be here, so I came to see you." Shen Yanxi tidied up Jiang Suining's hair that was messed up by the wind. "Would you like to take my carriage back to the Jiang family?"
"Okay." Jiang Suining nodded.
The two got on the carriage. Jiang Suining lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling streets outside.
"Since the envoys from various countries have arrived, business has increased this evening."
Not only do shops close later, but the number of street vendors has also increased significantly.
"It's the emperor's intention to make the imperial city look more lively and prosperous. The Ministry of Revenue has been ordered to do this. We must support those newly opened shops or stalls."
Speaking of the Ministry of Revenue, Shen Yanxi suddenly remembered, "I almost forgot. Zixia asked me to thank you on his behalf. He already knows about Yang Manman's situation. However, the Ministry of Revenue has been busy lately and he is too busy to attend to it. He said that he would thank you in person after this period of time is over."
"Actually, no need. After all, Yang Manman's affairs are not just for him." Jiang Suining shook his head and smiled.
As she was speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the window, but when she turned her head, she couldn't see it.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanxi asked.
"It's okay, maybe I'm dazzled."
Jiang Suining withdrew his gaze and lowered the car curtain.
"Ningning, I heard that the fifth princess has been visiting you often recently?"
Jiang Suining nodded, "I've been here twice."
Shen Yanxi showed curiosity, "Is there something going on between you and the Fifth Princess?"
Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"I just think she has been looking for you too many times. And she helped you with the matter of the Ministry of Justice Jail before. I forgot to ask you why she was willing to help you deal with the Third Prince. After all, he is her brother."
"Maybe it's because she thinks they are all women. She likes to say that women should help women."
Jiang Suining had a smile on his face and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"By the way, how many envoys came this time?"
Although Shen Yanxi could see that Jiang Suining was trying to change the subject, he looked at her and finally did not ask any further questions, and the topic was changed.
In this celebration, in addition to entertaining the envoys, most of the court officials and their families were able to attend the banquet.
In the previous life, Jiang Suining was naturally there and witnessed the entire celebration.
In this life, although Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi are engaged, they have not yet married, so she is not qualified.
"Miss, it's such a pity. If you and Lord Shen had gotten married earlier, you could have gone to the palace to attend the celebration today." Biyun said regretfully while helping Jiang Suining to dress up.
"You're eager to go?"
"I am a lowly servant, so I dare not even think about it. However, this is the celebration of the 120th anniversary of the founding of the country, so it must be very lively. If you can go, you can tell us about it when you come back."
Jiang Suining smiled at Biyun, thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have to be so regretful. The founding ceremony is held every year, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"That's right. I'll wait for the next celebration for Miss to tell me." Biyun said with a smile.
"That's not what I meant." Jiang Suining shook his head and looked at Biyun mischievously. "What I meant was that Jiang Cheng is preparing to take part in the next imperial examination. If he passes and becomes an official in the court in the future, you can go with him."
Biyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly spoke up after coming to her senses: "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? What does his participation in the imperial examination have to do with me?"
"Is it really okay? Then why did I hear that someone promised to marry you if you passed the imperial examination?" Jiang Suining's face was full of smiles.
"Miss, how did you know that?" Biyun was stunned. She realized that she had said something wrong and her face turned even redder. "Miss, did you eavesdrop on our conversation?"
"I didn't eavesdrop. I just happened to pass by the back garden with Xi'er." Jiang Suining smiled and joked, "Why, if I didn't hear it, you were going to keep it to yourself?"
"Miss, I just haven't figured out how to tell you yet."
"Of course I'll tell you the truth. Do you want to marry him?"
Biyun lowered her head, looking shy, "Yes, but I also want to stay with the young lady forever, and..."
"And what?"
"And that idiot Jiang Cheng insisted that he would only have the confidence to propose marriage to you, young lady, after he passed the imperial examination. What if he didn't pass the examination..."
Biyun was halfway through her speech when she saw her mistress' teasing look and stamped her feet lightly, "Miss, you are making fun of me!"
The lady clearly asked her to say it, but after she said it, the lady laughed at her!
"Don't blame me, I'm just happy for you. As for whether Jiang Cheng is in high school or not, as long as you like him, I agree."
"Miss, is that true?"
"Of course it's true!" Xi'er walked in from outside the room and took over the conversation, also with a smile on her face, "The young lady has even prepared your dowry, so if you get married quickly, I can even ask for a glass of wedding wine with you."
"You are so good, Xier, you eavesdropped!"
"Sister Biyun, as for the matter between you and Brother Jiang, do we need to eavesdrop? Anyone can see it!"
"What are you talking about! Miss, you don't care about her!"
"Why bother with me? Let the young lady take good care of you and help you get married!"
"Stinky Xier, you still dare to say that!"
……
Amid the laughter of Xier and Biyun, it was soon afternoon.
Jiang Suining did not leave the house today and stayed in her own yard. She was sitting in front of the desk and spread out the papers she used to record her time in the Ministry of Justice prison.
I looked up through the window at the sky outside and estimated that the celebration should be almost over.
The sun is setting.
When Xier lit the third lamp, Jiang Suining left the room and prepared to have dinner.
However, before she could walk to the dining room, she received a report from the servant that the fifth princess had come and said she wanted to see her.
Jiang Suining signaled to the servant not to report to Jiang Zhitong and Zheng and others, and went to the gate of the mansion to welcome the people in.
After entering the Jiang family, Xiao Yue remained silent as there were servants around.
It was not until they arrived at Jiang Suining's yard and were left with only the two of them that she could no longer conceal her excitement and grabbed Jiang Suining's arm and said:
"It worked, your plan really worked!"
