Chapter 388
She thought of the maid who greeted her at the second door when she came in just now.

Although they are very polite and courteous, they give people a feeling of alienation, as if they are coming from some down-and-out family.

Jiang Hao was obviously very close to them when they were in Yong'an Town. Could it be that he looked down on them now that he became the princess?

Mrs. Zhou didn't notice anything strange about her daughter, and talked to Jiang Hao enthusiastically.

"My master got a new gadget some time ago, and no one in the house can understand it. I remembered that the princess is a wonderful person, so I brought it over for you to take a look at."

Mrs. Wednesday's maid opened the box she was holding, and Jiang Hao took a look. It was a very delicate and complicated pocket watch.

It's not something unusual here, but it's still new in Zhou.

Mrs. Wednesday was very enthusiastic. Jiang Hao took a sip of tea and said, "Mrs. Wednesday, if you have something to say, why don't you just say it."

These words stabbed Zhou Yan's heart again.

This is putting on the airs of a princess.

Mrs. Zhou's smile remained unchanged on Wednesday, and she couldn't see anything strange at all. She said rather embarrassedly, "To be honest, I came today to ask for something from the prince and concubine."

Seeing Jiang Hao not answering, Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to continue talking.

"It's just that... Yan'er is not young anymore. I want to arrange a marriage for her in the capital. This child met the prince... at the last banquet at the Duke's Palace. I will never forget it."

Mrs. Zhou's face turned red when she said this. It was extremely shameless for the woman's family to say such a thing. If this spread, the woman's reputation would be ruined.

However, she believed that Jiang Hao was not a talkative person, so she told the truth.

Worried that Jiang Hao would not agree, Mrs. Zhou added on Wednesday, "The princess has also understood Yan'er's temperament, and there is nothing evil. The master and I are also honest people and will not think of those crooked ways."

She actually didn't want her daughter to marry a sick man, but Yan'er was willing. After meeting Crown Prince Cui, she stopped thinking about food and drinks.

Furthermore, the threshold of the Duke's Mansion was too high. If Crown Prince Cui hadn't been ill, she wouldn't have had the nerve to say this.

When she heard that both the Xue family and the Zhang family came to the door, she couldn't sit still and sighed at Jiang Hao's tone.

Jiang Hao thought that the Zhou family wanted to ask her for something, so she pulled Zhou Yan to get close to her. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan and Zhang Wanwan had the same thoughts.

But after all, she had been favored by the Zhou family, so she couldn't speak rudely, so she spoke tactfully.

"Mrs. Wednesday is a sensible person. She should know that this matter is not something I can say or do. If it were you, what would you do?"

"Jiang..." Zhou Yan subconsciously wanted to call her Lady Jiang, but thought of Jiang Hao's current status and quickly changed her name.

"First Princess, I am sincerely willing to marry Crown Prince Cui, regardless of status."

Jiang Hao looked at Zhou Yan, but she didn't expect Zhou Yan to be so bold, "Miss Zhou, if you want to be honest, there are countless women who voluntarily marry my eldest brother. Whether they are sincere or fake, I can't do it just by saying it." Counting."

She was telling the truth, but unfortunately some people didn't appreciate it.

Zhou Yan blushed and bit her lip, extremely embarrassed.

"First Princess, I just want to ask you to let me meet Crown Prince Cui."

She didn't want Jiang Hao to agree immediately, she just wanted to let her see her a few more times. If he saw her a few more times, Crown Prince Cui might be able to discover how good she was.

"Child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Wednesday hurriedly scolded her daughter.

Then he smiled apologetically at Jiang Hao, "Yan'er has been pampered by me and her father and made the eldest princess laugh. I will punish her well when I go back."

Jiang Hao smiled when he heard this and didn't say anything. He just picked up the tea cup.

After all this, Mrs. Zhou didn't understand anything, so she left with her daughter with a few polite words.

Ningshuang sent the two of them to the gate, "Mrs. Wednesday, walk slowly."

Mrs. Wednesday nodded and took her daughter into the carriage.

With the line of sight cut off, Zhou Yan couldn't help it immediately.

"Mom, why should she? Could it be that she has forgotten the past..."

"To shut up!"

Mrs. Zhou Zhou rarely looked seriously at her daughter, "Your personality is not suitable for marrying high. It's better to let your father choose a suitable candidate among the exams this year. With the Zhou family's reputation, plus pretending to be close to you, It's not too bad after thinking about it." "I don't, I can obviously marry someone better, so why should I choose a junior official? Even if I am lucky enough to win the Jinshi, I still have to start from the official position."

Zhou Yan had something she didn't say in her heart. Should she always be inferior to others?

Mrs. Zhou frowned, "Is it possible that you want to be a concubine?"

Zhou Yan shook her head. Unless her head was broken, how could she be a concubine?

She has to find a way.

……

After drinking a lot of tea, Jiang Hao got up and moved around in the yard.

Ningshuang came in, "Princess, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou have left. This servant looks at Miss Zhou with an unhappy look on her face."

Ning Lu's face turned ugly, "What is she doing? Could it be that she wants to become the Crown Princess based on some friendship from the past?"

The two of them were very loyal to Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao was generous to his servants, so the two of them said what they had in mind.

Jiang Hao shook his head, "That's not entirely true. It's just that my identity suddenly changed and I can't accept it."

In the past, Zhou Yan was a high-ranking daughter of the county magistrate in Yong'an Town. Everyone had to hold her up and respect her. If she wanted to see Zhou Yan, she had to go to the side house in advance.

Now in the capital, there are countless ladies from famous families, but Zhou Yan is just a legitimate daughter of a third wife.

Coupled with the fact that his and Zhou Yan's identities had been switched, it was normal to feel uncomfortable.

"Send a return gift to Mrs. Zhou Zhou." Jiang Hao told Ningshuang.

Ever since Angelica was transferred from the warehouse, Ningshuang has been in charge.

Ningshuang is careful and can handle these things with ease.

After all, she owed Mr. Zhou a favor, and the gift in return also told me that she remembered this friendship, but she would not help Zhou Yan as a matchmaker.

"Okay, good news!"

Xiao Jingshan strode into the courtyard, looking in a very good mood.

Jiang Hao looked at the man walking in bathing in the sunset, feeling very happy, "What's the good news?"

"The emperor is going for spring hunting, and the civil and military ministers are accompanying him. Now he can take the two men to the royal hunting ground." Xiao Jingshan had already arrived at Jiang Hao's side as he spoke.

Ningshuang Ninglu retreated knowingly.

Jiang Haofiao said, "Then tell Er Zhuang quickly. I think he is almost depressed. He talks to himself and scolds you Chen Shimei every day."

Xiao Jingshan had a smile on his face and tenderness in his eyes. He took Jiang Hao's hand and said, "Don't worry, let me tell you one more thing by the way. That boy Jiang Mao has gone overseas to do business."

"what?"

Jiang Hao slapped Xiao Jingshan's hand away.

"You call this a good thing? You don't know how dangerous the sea is. Can my father agree?"

"Agreed, he is a man and has his own ideas and decisions. Others cannot make decisions for him for the rest of his life." Xiao Jingshan paved the way for Jiang Mao as soon as he heard the news.

Now that he is both a prince and a general, officials from all walks of life have to give him some face. Moreover, Jiang Mao has become a lot more stable in the past two years. I am afraid that this decision has a lot to do with him.

Xiao Jingshan was just thinking about whether to talk to Jiang Hao when he heard her speak.

"My father and my brother are here for you and me."

Regardless of whether Xiao Jingshan has the intention to fight for position or not, fighting is inevitable when sitting in this position, and if you want to fight, you must have money.

"Be in tune with me."

Xiao Jingshan squeezed Jiang Hao's hand again, "Don't worry, I have sent a letter to my father-in-law to come to Beijing. If you have anything to say, I will tell you in person."
