After meeting Jiang Youyao and Jiang Jingrui, Jiang Li spent a lot of time to find the way to the Jiang Mansion.
The Jiang family has a deep foundation and a huge mansion. Fortunately, Jiang Li has a good memory. Moreover, when she was in Tongxiang, although the mansion was small, she loved to go out with Xue Huaiyuan to handle official business. She ran through every corner of Tongxiang and was good at recognizing the road.
The next few days were unexpectedly peaceful. Except for seeing Xiang Qiao flattering and Yun Shuang bossing her around every day, nothing special happened. The subtle thing is that, no matter whether it is Old Madam Jiang or the second and third rooms, except for the accidental encounter that day, no one has taken the initiative to look for Jiang Li, even Jiang Li's father Jiang Yuanbo, he doesn't even bother to do face. Jiang Li is like an insignificant person in the entire Jiang family, as if she was taken back and left alone, and after a few days, she was completely forgotten.
No, it doesn't take a few days, it's already now.
Others don't give her face, Jiang Li doesn't have to rush to warm her face and put a cold butt, just pretend that nothing happened, don't take the initiative to see the old lady, and usually let Tong'er take her meals back to Fangfeiyuan alone, as if this is out of sight, out of mind.
But the contradiction will not disappear automatically just by ignoring it. The calm at this moment is also preparing for the unrest in the future.
This morning, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. It was rare to be cool, different from the usual heat. After breakfast, Jiang Li told Xiang Qiao that she was going out.
Yun Shuang stood farther away, listening to Xiang Qiao ask Jiang Li calmly: "Second Miss, why do you suddenly want to go out?"
"I've been back home for half a month, and I've been staying in the house all day, which is really boring. I don't know what Yanjing City has been like in the past few years, I just want to go out for a walk." Without waiting for Xiang Qiao to speak, she said: "Besides, the third sister's coming-of-age ceremony will be in a few days, I can't go empty-handed."
Xiang Qiao rolled her eyes and asked: "Miss, are you going to pick out the coming-of-age ceremony for the third lady?"
"Yes." Jiang Li smiled and said: "By the way, see if there are any other new things."
Xiang Qiao's heart was immediately itched. If she followed Jiang Li out to buy things, she might get some rewards. Speaking of which, although this second young lady grew up in a nunnery, she was very generous. It’s not sure if she is stupid or follows the character of the late wife Ye Zhenzhen who spends money like water, and the daily rewards are very generous. Just by staying with Jiang Li for half a month, the number of jewels Xiang Qiao had collected was almost as much as in the previous year.
She deliberately asked: "Second Miss, you have spent a lot these days..."
"I haven't spent the silver that my grandmother gave me yet." Jiang Li interrupted her and said with a smile: "It's enough to buy some nice things."
Xiang Qiao thought about it, yes, Jiang Li gave her jewellery as a reward, but she didn't touch the silver. In fact, how can silver be as precious as jewellery? But Xiang Qiao naturally wouldn't take the initiative to cut off her own way of making money. Thinking that she might make money again today, she immediately swallowed back the words she was going to persuade Jiang Li not to go out, and only said: "In that case, I will accompany the second lady to go out and take a look. I went out with the third lady before, and I just think that the shops in Yanjing are good."
Yun Shuang was a little dissatisfied with Xiang Qiao's reaction. Jiang Li had already spoken, saying: "Well, Tong'er, you also accompany me. I trouble Sister Xiang Qiao."
