"Is this related to my little sister?" Jiang Hongzhi frowned.
Su Yu'an nodded: "I originally told you after I returned to Yuntang Town. Who could have expected that such an inexplicable thing would happen! Brother Jiang, I have admired your little sister for a long time. My father wrote to tell you that a few days ago,
Get married to your Jiang family!"
"Getting married? My little sister?" Jiang Hongzhi was shocked!
Su Yu'an nodded: "So, about the third Miss of the Yu family...Brother Jiang, you saw that it was the Third Miss of the Yu family who was chasing after me, not me..."
Jiang Hongzhi waved his hand: "Wait a minute!"
"You mean we're already married? How far has it come?" Jiang Hongzhi asked with a cold face.
Su Yu'an swallowed: "No, your reaction, are you really ignorant?"
Jiang Hongzhi shook his head.
"Then Jiang Xiaohua doesn't know either?"
Jiang Hongzhi shook his head again.
Su Yu'an suddenly realized: "No wonder Jiang Xiaohua didn't react at all when she saw me. It turned out that she didn't know anything about it! Brother Jiang, now you know, you have to help me with the matter of Miss Yu's third daughter!"
"Tell me first, how far has the marriage matter come?"
"You don't believe it? Or do you still look down on our Su family?"
Jiang Hongzhi shook his head: "It has nothing to do with your Su family. It's my little sister who hasn't even gotten hairpin yet. She will only be fourteen years old at the end of the year. What I can't figure out is how could my grandparents agree to an engagement for my little sister! She's not even old enough!"
"Brother Jiang, I really didn't lie to you. The letter written by my father personally said: Nacai, asking for name, Naji, Nazheng, asking for date. After six rites and five rites, all that's left is to welcome him in person!"
"When is the date set?" Jiang Hongzhi asked, frowning.
"The second day of spring!"
Jiang Hongzhi said: "February 16th!"
Su Yu'an nodded.
Jiang Hongzhi asked again in disbelief: "On February 16th, the spring of next year?"
Su Yu'an nodded.
Jiang Hongzhi remained silent for a long time, how could that be possible?
Something must have happened here?
"Did your Su family invite the official media? No, I forgot. You did invite the official media to propose marriage before. I remember we refused!"
Su Yu'an chuckled twice: "To be honest, Brother Jiang, this time it's really not the official media invited by our Su family, but... it's your Jiang family!"
That’s even more suspicious! Why rush to marry off the flower? The date was also chosen strangely, it was the second day after the Spring Festival.
Grandpa and grandma are going to use Hua'er's koi fortune to help several younger brothers go to high school?
Then marry her off!
What about Jiang's Paper Industry? Stay with Jiang's family?
Jiang Hongzhi frowned.
Could it be that Hua'er's identity was discovered?
The grandparents were heartbroken when they knew that the real flowers were gone!
Or did the villagers say some bad rumors about Hua'er? Could it be related to the prince living in the backyard?
A girl's reputation is naturally important.
Is this what happened?
If this is the case, there is still room for relaxation!
If not...
Jiang Hongzhi shook his head when he thought of this. It's not right. My little sister will only be fourteen years old at the end of the year. Even if she gets married at fifteen, she won't have to get married until the end of next year.
Why half a year in advance?
This is unreasonable!
Jiang Hongzhi didn't speak for a long time. Su Yu'an was anxious: "Brother Jiang, you have to help me with this matter!"
"This matter... don't be in a hurry! Let's wait until we get back and ask for details!"
"What about the third young lady of the Yu family?"
"As long as my little sister is willing, the matter of Miss Yu's third daughter will be fine!"
Su Yu'an finally heard it clearly, and it turned out that Jiang Xiaohua didn't know about this at all.

"Prince! Prince!"
Prince Ling Wenche opened his eyes, then closed them again when he saw that it was still dark, frowning: "What's wrong? Come in and talk!"
The guard came in from the door and stood outside the screen.
"Your Highness, the news just came back that the prince's letter was written to a girl from the Jiang family in Dalingzi Village, Yuntang Town, named Jiang Xiaohua!"
Ling Wenche rubbed his brows and sat up from the bed: "Is there anything special about this girl? Is she a girl from the banker or a noble girl from some noble family who hangs out on the banker?"
"Back to Your Highness, this Jiang Xiaohua is a girl born and raised in the village. She is the youngest granddaughter of the Jiang family in Dalingzi Village. She lived in the Jiang family after the prince was injured!"
Ling Wenche took the coat from the small table beside the bed and slowly put it on: "Go on!"
"Yes, Your Highness, the Jiang family has opened a workshop called Jiang's Paper Industry." The guard waited for the prince to lift the mosquito net and walked out, then handed the thing to the prince: "This is paper produced by the Jiang family."
It was a stack of letterhead paper from Jiang's Paper Company.
There are vermilion grids on the ephedra paper.
Ling Wenche took it in his hand and squeezed it: "This is it?"
"Your Highness, this is paper, for writing and drawing!"
"Oh! Your Highness wants to give it a try!" Ling Wenche sat at the desk. The guard quickly took the pen and handed it to the prince, and began to sharpen the ink again.
"Your Highness, this thing is much easier to use than bamboo slips! You can write dozens of words on a piece of paper!"
Prince Ling Wenche wrote a line of words on the paper.
After putting down the pen, he looked at the paper on the desk and said nothing for a long time.
"Have you found out? When was Jiang's Paper opened?"
"While the Crown Prince is still recovering from his injuries in Dalingzi Village!"
"Is it related to Ling Wenjing?" the prince asked.
"The news I came back from after asking is that the Jiang's Paper Industry was jointly opened by the Crown Prince and the Jiang family."
Prince Ling Wenche sneered: "The workshop is opened in the village!"
The guard nodded: "That's right!"
"How much paper can this workshop produce in a day?"
"They invited a lot of people to do the work. They invited all the villagers in the village, as well as people from neighboring villages. There were five people in the paper fishing team. They took turns to work. At the end of the day, there were more than 1,000 pieces of paper. Currently, there are six
The team is collecting paper, and there are more than 6,000 pieces of paper in one day."
"What's the selling price?" The prince raised his lips, sneered, and asked.
"If the produced paper is not cut into half, a piece of paper costs 20 cents. It is the most common paper. The selling price like the one your highness just used is a little more expensive, about 30 cents a piece. Calculated.
, the income per day is about 180 taels, and in a month it is about 5,400 taels of silver."
After hearing this, Ling Wenche was speechless for a long time.
"Your Highness?"
"Go on! Is there anything else?"
"Your Highness, there is not only Jiang's Paper Industry in the workshop, but also vegetable greenhouses. Five greenhouses are long and wide. The vegetables in them can be grown every ten days and can be sold! I heard that it can be sold in winter!
Where is Changcai? This matter has spread throughout Yuntang Town, even people in Changning Mansion have heard about it."
"I also heard that many restaurant owners have already placed orders for their dishes since it's not even winter yet. I heard that they still have to queue up."
"Has it grown?"
"What?"
"I'm asking, have the fresh vegetables grown? Are they sold for money?"
"Back to Your Highness, the vegetables have grown and they have been sold!"
"explain!"
"One crop every ten days, one crop can sell for two thousand taels!"
Prince Ling Wenche sneered: "This income is no worse than the restaurants in the capital!"
