When Jiang Xiaohua went out in the morning, she saw someone standing outside the door.
The man was dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a long body and a thick brown cloak. He was followed by an entourage and looked at Jiang Xiaohua with a warm smile.
It's the eldest brother Jiang Hongzhi.
Since Jiang Xiaohua left Dalingzi Village, she has corresponded many times, but this is the first time she has met.
Jiang Hongzhi looked at Jiang Xiaohua and shouted: "Little sister!"
Jiang Xiaohua pursed her lips and smiled, then walked over slowly: "Brother, are you free today?"
Jiang Hongzhi nodded: "Xiu Mu, come and see you today. Hong Ming and the others are very strict. Hongde Academy has strict requirements and will not have a holiday until the end of the year. After the holiday, Hong Ming and the others said they want to live here with you for a while. I don't know.
Is that possible?"
In fact, Jiang Hongzhi also wanted to come and stay.
but……
If he came with Hong Ming and the others, Hua'er's arrival in the capital would not be hidden.
When the time comes, my grandparents will definitely come looking for me too.
The flowers will be unhappy!
Being deceived by a loved one!
That feeling...
Whenever Jiang Hongzhi thinks of that incident, guilt crawls all over his body.
I just regret that he couldn't stand on Hua'er's side at that time.
Jiang Hongzhi clenched his fists, regret gnawing at his heart.
"Of course you can. You can come here whenever you want. There are many rooms and you can definitely live here. It's close to the Ministry of Punishment. Brother, why don't you move here? It will be more convenient to check in every day," Jiang Xiaohua said with a smile.
Jiang Hongzhi looked deeply at his little sister, nodded and said yes.
"Brother, since we are all here, let's come in and chat!" Jiang Xiaohua said.
Xuanyu who was behind Jiang Xiaohua glanced at the maid Linghua.
Linghua immediately turned around and prepared.
The Crown Prince said that if people from the Lao Jiang family, especially Jiang Hongzhi, come over, their subordinates must treat them well.
This is Miss Jiang's natal family.
Jiang Xiaohua led Jiang Hongzhi into the yard and walked in front.
Jiang Xiaohua is still dressed like a scholar today.
When she sat down, Jiang Xiaohua looked over carefully and saw that her elder brother was much more mature than before, with slender eyes. When she looked at Jiang Xiaohua, her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were full of warm smiles.
Linghua moves very quickly.
The newly made pastries from the kitchen were served warm.
I made another pot of good tea.
Jiang Xiaohua often heard A Jing talk about her eldest brother Jiang Hongzhi, saying that his eldest brother did not hold a high position in the Ministry of Punishment and had only been there for a short time, but he was able to take charge of his own business very quickly and established a certain prestige.
A Jing also said that in a few years, the Ministry of Justice will be handed over to her eldest brother Jiang Hongzhi.
Jiang Xiaohua knew that she could be reused by A Jing.
Not because he is her eldest brother.
The eldest brother got it by relying on his own ability.
Even though Jiang Hongzhi looked at Jiang Xiaohua with a crooked smile, a person who could gain a firm foothold in the Criminal Department was not a gentle and kind-hearted person at heart.
It's no wonder that he is admired by the third daughter-in-law of General Han's mansion.
After Jiang Xiaohua came to the capital, she also took advantage of the convenience to observe the third lady of General Han's family at close range. Not to mention her distinguished background, her appearance and bearing were also top-notch among the noble ladies in the capital.
The most important thing is that she has a gentle temperament and is not the kind of coquettish and domineering woman.
Jiang Xiaohua was thinking about the third lady.
Jiang Hongzhi was silent for a while and said: "Little sister, I have made you suffer!"
Jiang Xiaohua smiled and wanted to say that she was fine, but she couldn't resist the moisture at the corners of her eyes.
By lowering his head to drink tea and blinking, he pushed back the moisture.
I have to say that I don’t complain at all.
Jiang Xiaohua is not a saint.
As for resentment, it's not that big of a deal.
Anyway, she is alive and well now, and by chance, she returned to her biological mother.
Father is also there.
A family of three can be considered happy together.
Jiang Xiaohua has always kept the identity of her father and mother in Lingnan a secret, and her eldest brother Jiang Hongzhi does not know.
Jiang Xiaohua held the warm tea cup and said with a faint smile: "It's all over!"
Jiang Hongzhi is a smart man, so let’s stop this topic here.
"When are you planning to get married to the prince?" Jiang Hongzhi asked.
As a bystander, Jiang Hongzhi saw clearly.
The crown prince Ling Wenjing is sincere to his little sister.
This kind of sincerity is extremely rare for someone like the prince.
The corners of Jiang Xiaohua's lips raised: "Brother, speaking of marriage, I also want to ask you that the third young lady of General Han's residence is attracted to you. I have met the third young lady of the Han family. She is a nice girl. What do you think?"
Jiang Hongzhi glanced at his younger sister, then lowered his eyebrows and pursed his lips into a tight line.
After a while, he said: "Ms. Han has a distinguished background, and our Jiang family cannot reach her!"
This is...disagree!
Jiang Xiaohua frowned slightly: "Brother, why do you think so! As long as you are happy, you and the third lady of the Han family just like each other! What's more, the Jiang family is not bad now!"
"Little sister, my marriage is not in a hurry! But you and the Crown Prince..."
Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Ah Jing said next spring."
Jiang Hongzhi's Adam's apple rolled up and he said in a low voice: "Spring?"
"Yeah! Spring!"
I wonder if it’s Jiang Xiaohua’s illusion.
After that, the eldest brother's mood became a little lower, although he would smile because the two of them talked about interesting things.
The two even chatted about some trivial matters in the Criminal Department.
Every time Ah Jing comes back, if it's not too late, she and Jiang Xiaohua will talk about these things more or less when they have dinner together.
During the chat, the two avoided the topic of Jiang's Paper Industry.
Jiang Hongzhi received a letter from Jiang Xiaohua for the first time.
The letter describes the most detailed process of papermaking, including how to make rice paper as white as jade.
However, Jiang Xiaohua also wrote at the end of the letter that only her eldest brother Jiang Hongzhi knew about these processes.
Among the people in Lao Jiang's family, she only trusted Jiang Hongzhi.
Jiang Hongzhi agreed.
Jiang Xiaohua did this for the good of the Jiang family.
The wives of Lao Jiang's family are not fuel-efficient lamps. Once they know all the processes, Jiang's Paper Industry will be finished.
Jiang Xiaohua knew that her elder brother understood what she meant.
