Mianmian was also telling Tang Zhuyun about her "ambitions".
"My wife told me that Huaishang has saved up about twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver over the years. If I save up my monthly allowance for two years and lend it to him, he can marry me."
Looking at this innocent and Little Lovely, Tang Zhuyun wondered if Yanran would grow up to be just like her!
I'm going crazy.
Yanran: "Wow, sister, you have so much money! Actually, I suggest you borrow some from your two older brothers. My brothers always lend me money when I'm short."
Perhaps we can take it immediately and seize Huaishang.
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
Xiu'er had some sweet melon to eat, and her stomachache was gone. Looking at Mianmian, she said, "Are you blinded by money?"
If you're so desperate, choose Huaishang!
That guy won't let you spend his money, even though he has it.
Mianmian: "The Huaishang is beautiful!"
"What's so good about him?" Xiu'er retorted.
"She's good-looking."
Xiu'er: "... Okay."
"Good character."
Xiu'er: "... That counts too."
"Knows how to manage a household."
Xiu'er: "... Say it again."
"Good-looking, good character, good at managing a household..." Mianmian said, counting on her fingers, "My mother has said enough."
Tang Zhuyun couldn't help but chuckle, "That's enough, that's enough, Huaishang is a good one."
Mianmian immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling and revealing two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.
"Actually, I didn't like him at first, but after spending time with him, I found that he's really, really, really good..."
He is very gentle with women.
Although he was the master, he was always gentle and polite to the maids and servants in the mansion, without any airs.
Xiu'er: He's just being stingy with tips, he's only showing off his connections!
"Besides," Mianmian said honestly, "He's already a royal bodyguard, and he'll become even more powerful in the future. I want to marry a powerful man so that my father and brothers will have someone to rely on and won't have to live in fear."
So what if you're rich?
Agriculture was valued more than commerce, and merchants always held the lowest social status.
If she marries into Huaishang, and becomes successful in the future, she can also help her father and brothers.
For some reason, Tang Zhuyun liked Mianmian even more.
Even with such worldly calculations, the way she spoke didn't evoke any disgust.
"He's stingy, so nobody else wants him, which is why I snagged a bargain," Mianmian said with a grin. "My aunt likes me too, and we both enjoy spending money and having fun."
Tang Zhuyun: Liking to spend money, is that a kind of common ground?
She could never have imagined the happiness of the rich.
"I'm very happy in the Huai Family, and I've reached the age to get married..." Mianmian said, "Marrying him would be perfect."
It's just that saving money is a bit difficult.
Tang Zhuyun: "How do you spend your 50,000 taels of silver a year?"
Did you use the silver notes to start a fire and cook rice?
Poverty limited her imagination.
Mianmian: "I invest 20,000 yuan a year in boats, making money from money, but I don't know how much I've saved yet. My older brother manages it, so he won't cheat me, but he also won't let me touch it. I can get the money when I get married!"
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
Today is another day I'm feeling incredibly envious.
"I keep some people and flowers and birds in my own courtyard, which brings in ten thousand taels of silver a year. The remaining twenty thousand taels is my pocket money, which I don't know how I spend... Anyway, I buy whatever I like... I've bought everything that money can buy."
Xiu'er: "What kind of life do you have! If I were still in the capital, I would definitely let you be the first to see the baby when I gave birth."
Whoever is the first to see the child determines the child's fate.
Tang Zhuyun said that she queued up, and she wanted to too.
"Your Highness, could you please speak to the Prince on his behalf? The Wen Family is actually very obedient and timid. If Your Highness needs anything, please don't hesitate to ask. We only ask that the Wen Family be given a place to stay in the future."
This is Mianmian's real purpose in coming here today.
Tang Zhuyun smiled and dodged the question, "Your Highness has come this far not by being foolish, it's simply a matter of sincerity for sincerity."
Mianmian is not a naive and innocent person. Her words today, though seemingly funny, are actually quite purposeful.
We're all cunning foxes, we all have to keep our distance.
Mianmian nodded. "I knew it! Since Huaishang is loyal to the Prince, the Prince must be good. I'll try my best to become family with Huaishang!"
Tang Zhuyun: Girl, keep going!
No, please pay more!
There's nothing money can't buy. You can offer ten million taels of silver, and tonight you'll be in the bridal chamber!
She took it upon herself to sell Huaishang.
He bought her from Huaishang, she sold him, and they were even.
Xiu'er, munching on sunflower seeds: Mianmian, keep it up!
Huaishang and Song Jingyang are like brothers. She hopes to have a wealthy sister-in-law, not to take advantage of her, but also to broaden her horizons.
The next day, the Prince of Jin's Residence set off early.
Although he left the capital in a "gloomy" manner, he was still a prince, and the fact that he was moving house meant that his grand procession still attracted attention.
Tang Zhuyun originally thought she would be very sad, but perhaps because the Tang Family family members did not come as previously agreed, she felt quite relaxed.
From then on, the sky was high and the sea was wide.
The carriage slowed down as it passed through the city gate.
Tang Zhuyun lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
It's Qiao Jiao.
She was carrying a basket, tiptoeing to wipe the man's face, seemingly bringing food to her husband who guarded the city gate.
Although the two sisters look exactly alike, Tang Zhuyun recognized them at a glance: it was Qiao Jiao, not Qiao Qiao.
She didn't inquire about what happened to the two sisters.
However, it now appears that Qiao Jiao has successfully taken her place.
As for Qiao Qiao's fate, that remains unknown.
Life is like a play. Qiao Jiao originally wanted to avenge her deceased lover, but now that Qiao Geng Noble Consort Jia are dead, has her hatred been resolved?
What are her motives and mindset in staying with her current man?
Tang Zhuyun shook her head. What did it have to do with her?
After leaving the city gate and arriving at the Ten-Li Pavilion, Ren Yingying was already waiting there.
Besides her, there were also Nanxing, Pei Shen, and the Qin Li couple.
The carriage stopped, and Tang Zhuyun and the others got off.
Linlin, Great Confucian Scholar Kong, and Xiyou were sitting in a carriage. Great Confucian Scholar Kong didn't get off, but Xiyou and Linlin got off to get some fresh air.
Ren Yingying's eyes lit up when she saw Linlin: "Come here quickly, let Auntie give you a hug."
Qu Nian: I didn't hear anything, and I didn't see anything.
Linlin obediently stepped forward and then introduced the Xiyou to her.
Ren Yingying: "Isn't this my... my nephew's senior brother? It's a pleasure to meet you."
My goodness! This little brother is amazing!
Qu Nian was certain that what she meant to say was, "My future man."
Haha, you're such a fangirl.
Just like Tang Zhuyun.
I don't know what race she is, but she can't tear herself away from men.
Xiyou smiled awkwardly; this lady was really enthusiastic.
If it were just these things, it would be nothing more than ordinary farewells, only this time with a touch of genuine reluctance.
However, a change occurred with Madam Qin.
Madam Qin, she brought a Chow Chow with her today.
It was a female Chow Chow, which Qin Li had recently sent to please his beloved Yaoyao.
Then the Chow Chow took a fancy to the Shar Pei.
That's right, it has its eye on Qu Nian!!!
