Chapter 164
The next day, Shu Yao woke up naturally after sleeping until Chunrui and a few maidservants took care of her, washed and dressed.After two days of training, the maidservants have restrained a lot.The little lady has pink cheeks and peach cheeks, with icy muscles and fine bones. With such a beautiful woman to accompany her, it's no wonder that the commander has no interest in them.
Li Mingji left the small courtyard early in the morning, and took a group of officials with Lin Zongfu to the government office.After all, he had official duties, so he couldn't be by Shu Yao's side all the time, which made Shu Yao feel a little regretful.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have introduced Li Mingji to my uncle, so he wouldn't be so busy.However, if Li Mingji hadn't been the commander of the Imperial City Division, the southern tour would not have fallen on him, and she would not have followed Li Mingji to Jiangnan to play.

Yesterday, after visiting Yangzhou City, her back was sore and her legs were weak. Today, Shu Yao didn't want to walk so much, so she asked the maid beside her, "What fun things have you guys done recently?"

She obviously looks like a concubine, but her haughty demeanor and tone of voice when ordering people are just like a noble daughter raised by a rich family.The maids didn't dare to think about it, and respectfully said: "Lady, the Jiang family, the richest man in Yangzhou, is setting up a floating mat on Dongguan Street today to invite relatives. If you are interested, you can go there for a stroll."

Marriage?

Yangzhou is prosperous along the canal, and one out of ten people must come from the Caobang, so it is not like the small family like jade in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but has a style of martial arts.Could it be the martial arts contest to recruit relatives written in the martial arts scriptures?

Shu Yao blinked, "Dongguan Street, where is it?"

……

The streets and alleys along the canal are full of shops and are very lively.If you enter any teahouse or restaurant, you can find out the story of today's protagonist, the Jiang family, the richest man in Yangzhou.

Although the regulations on scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have existed since ancient times, Dayong's commerce was prosperous, and it was not uncommon for officials to do business.Especially in the south of the economic center, "Liu Guanren Jade Shop" and "Deng Guanren Lacquer Ware Shop" can be seen everywhere on the street. Businessmen are no longer as contemptuous as they used to be. The richest man in Yangzhou recruited relatives, and almost everyone in the city came to join in the fun.

It is said that Jiang Min, the richest man in Yangzhou, was originally a fisherman by the river, and he lived by fishing for generations.After the flood in the south, the house was destroyed by the flood, and he was forced to become a boatman. Just in time for the recovery of water transportation, in just a few years, by means of water transportation, he sold Yangzhou's goods to various places, made a fortune, and then became bigger and bigger. , almost monopolizing the freight in Yangzhou City.Today, the largest Cao Gang in Yangzhou City relies on the Jiang family behind it.

Jiang Min has a son and a daughter, they are twins.Mr. Jiang Lang, the wife of the Jiang family is already eighteen. Two years ago, the elders in the family passed away, and she only became a servant recently, so she delayed her marriage age, so she chose to recruit relatives in Yangzhou City.

The running water banquet of the richest man is extremely grand. In order to make room for the banquet, the shops on both sides are closed, and every household is hung with red silk, which is as lively as the Shangyuan Festival in the capital.

Shu Yao found a table and sat down, Chunrui walked through the crowd and stood by her side, "Lady, please slow down."

There were really too many people coming to the feast, apart from the hidden guards guarding in the dark, Shu Yao only had Chunrui, a maidservant, beside her.She didn't wear Mili, several people had already secretly looked at her position, Chunrui warned them to go back one by one, feeling nervous.

This is not the capital, they are not familiar with the place, and Li Shiwei is much more terrifying than Emperor Yong, she can't lose the little princess.

Shu Yao hummed, she came out after eating, and was not interested in these dishes, mainly because she was curious about the form of recruiting relatives, would they set up a ring to start a competition?

"Look! Mrs. Jiang is here!"

Someone yelled, following the line of sight of the people around her, a tall young woman in a crimson skirt appeared in the attic.

In her hand, she holds a hydrangea.

So the form of recruiting relatives is to throw hydrangea?

Before Shu Yao could think about it, the people around her rushed forward, and Shu Yao was forced to follow the crowd and move to the open space in front.Fortunately, she was petite, so she quickly got out of the crowd and squeezed into the front row.

Taking a closer look, I found that Mrs. Jiang was quite heroic. She was not tied up in a bun, with flowers painted on her forehead, and her beautiful long hair was tied up with a piece of red silk, which looked quite sassy.Shu Yao inadvertently looked at Mrs. Jiang, and she seemed to smile at her.

"This lady Jiang is really handsome. It is said that she looks almost the same as her elder brother. Why don't you see Mr. Jiang?"

The people around were chattering and discussing.It was only then that Shu Yao remembered that Chunrui had gone somewhere when she was squeezed just now.She turned her head, and there were dark heads behind her, how could she see Chunrui's shadow?

It seems that we can only wait for the end to join Chunrui again.

Or should she find a high place and call Chunrui's name twice?

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, a cloud of shadows flew towards him.Shu Yao subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, just in time for the unknown object to fall into her arms—isn't this Jiang Niangzi's hydrangea?
Shu Yao's face was dull, this is Mrs. Jiang asking for a marriage, and she is also a woman, did she dump the wrong person?
After the people around sighed, they also realized that this marriage proposal was not for Mrs. Jiang, but for Mr. Jiang Lang?

The man is not yet crowned, but the eighteenth-year-old woman is already an old lady, so they preconceived, thinking that the Jiang family recruited a husband and son-in-law, but who knew that it was this charming little lady who took the hydrangea.For a moment, he didn't know whether to envy the little lady's good luck, or the Jiang family's good luck.

"My lady, my lady!"

After a lot of effort, Chunrui finally squeezed out of the crowd. As she walked forward, she realized that people seemed to spread out from both sides and automatically moved out of the way. What's the matter with making noise?
She was busy looking for the little princess, and didn't care about Jiang's family recruiting at all. Only at this moment did she realize that Mrs. Jiang's hydrangea was in the hands of their princess. ...isn't it?

Mrs. Jiang had already walked down the attic quickly, came to Shu Yao, smiled and said, "Little lady, please follow me."

Thinking of the inadvertent eye contact between Cai Cai and Mrs. Jiang, Shu Yao always felt that the affairs of Jiang's family were not so simple.She raised her hand to signal Chunrui not to be impulsive, nodded and said, "Okay."

Chunrui: "..."

Forgot that their princess is still a child at heart, and likes to join in this kind of fun.

Forget it, let's explain it to the Jiang family later, and take a look at what kind of medicine is sold in the Jiang family's gourd.But I hope Guard Li can come to pick him up calmly after he gets the news.

……

Know the state.

After looking through the files in the government office for a day, the accompanying officials looked tired and went back to the wing room early to rest.Zhou Rong followed behind Li Mingji, stopped in front of the small courtyard, frowned, "Mr. Lang, do you want to continue watching?"

Li Jin was sure that there was a problem with the water fee, but they checked the accounts and only found a few innocuous mistakes, at most a few minor crimes that were not painful. Either they had prepared for it, or the root of the problem was not in Yangzhou.

"No hurry," Li Mingji said, "Keep watching."

Naturally, nothing could be found through such an investigation. He was waiting for Xiao Sui to deliver the things himself.

He was a little strange, the small courtyard was a little too quiet today, the little princess hasn't come back yet?
