Chapter 275 Do You Have a Sister?

"I observed the celestial phenomena last night..."

Jiang Shangxian shook his head and teased her, "I just calculated it, and there's actually a young lady who can't sleep at night because of me! For this beautiful lady, I hurried here today."

"Ah! What's wrong with your mouth?"

Li Xueyan was amused by her and grabbed her face to twist her mouth: "Let me see if there was any honey in the betrothal gift Cui Yi sent yesterday, so that you can be so slick."

Jiang Shangxian clucked like a cramped old hen and circled around Yanxia to avoid her. Yanxia was holding something in her hands, and was pulled back and forth by the two of them, unable to move. She said, "Wu Niang, Miss Jiang! Let me go quickly, the things in my hands are about to spill! If these fall, it will be a waste of good things!"

As a result, the two girls played like crazy, circling around her like a cat playing with a mouse. In the end, Jiang Shangxian was more skilled and ran away a little, so Yanxia was saved.

After finally escaping, Yanxia handed the things in her hand to the maid next to her and went up to stop Li Xueyan: "Wu Niang, hurry up and stop running. It's so hot, sweating and eating will make you very hot. Miss Jiang brought a lot of things. Didn't you say you wanted to eat wedding candy yesterday? Don't you have it today?"

Li Xueyan stopped after hearing this, pinching her waist and panting. She pointed a finger at Jiang Shangxian from a distance and scolded him jokingly, "How does that Cui Yi usually train you? How come you can run so fast?"

"I'm not a dog, why would he train me?"

Jiang Shangxian also stopped, put one hand on his waist and fanned himself with the other, a happy smile on his face: "Do you think I'm a martial arts prodigy? It's only been a few years, and I'm already so powerful!"

"You are the most shameless!" Li Xueyan laughed so hard that she covered her stomach.

Yanxia hurried over to support her and asked someone to bring some water to wash them. She then casually pointed to the little girl to support Jiang Shangxian and said, "Hurry up and take a break. It's been a very harsh day. If you get sunburned, how will you two go out and see people?"

There was a small pavilion in Li Xueyan's yard, and beside it was a small pond with a few fish swimming leisurely in it. Yanxia arranged for them to sit in the pavilion and sent someone to bring Sushan: "It's just right to take these fruits and cut them into small pieces and sprinkle them on top."

Although the Prince of Jiangxia is no longer able to do so, Li Shimin, out of nostalgia for the old times, did not blame him too harshly, and the flowers in the mansion are still in excellent condition.

For example, they are now sitting in this small pavilion, facing the water on one side and trees on the other. On the remaining two sides, there are little girls holding long-handled fans with blades two or three times larger than a human head, fanning the air slowly. There is also an ice jar in the corner, which adds a bit of coolness.

Every pore of Jiang Shangxian's body was dancing with pleasure. This was what it meant to live. Cows and horses lying down were barely surviving, but lying down for the rich was the real enjoyment.

"Yanxia, ​​go get the things I prepared, as well as the things sent from the palace." Li Xueyan ate her wedding candy and then waved her little hand mercifully, preparing to take out the gifts.

Jiang Shangxian rubbed his hands together and said, "Today I have only accepted gifts. It seems that getting married is really a good thing."

"Look at you, you money-grubber!"

"Hehe~ By the way, should I go and pay my respects to the Princess?" Jiang Shangxian didn't quite understand these rules.

Li Xueyan waved her hand. "Why greet me? My mother isn't at home. She's gone to a farm outside the city to escape the summer heat. I didn't go because I thought the food there wasn't as good as back home."

Every year when the heat came, her mother would run out of the city to escape the heat. How could the food on the farm compare with that in the city? She was impatient to eat that kind of food.

The main reason is that out of sight, out of mind, so as to avoid the pain of seeing the mess at home.

Jiang Shangxian heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled as he told the truth: "I was worried about what to do if the Princess didn't like me. Now it's all settled."

Many parents like to interfere with their children's friendships. With her status, it is a bit too high for her to make friends with Li Xueyan.

"How could it be!"

Li Xueyan curled her lips and said, "My mother highly respects the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Families. Now that you're engaged to Cui Yi, I wonder how much she'll be pleased to see you!"

Jiang Shangxian blinked and asked tentatively, "Why, is the Princess of the County looking for a marriage partner for you?"

If that's the case, that would be great! Zhao Shan is so stupid, why not change him quickly? Can a living person be suffocated to death? How can a good young lady be hung on an iron tree that doesn't know how to bloom?

"I don't know. She mentioned it at first, but I haven't heard about it since I went to the farm." Li Xueyan rested her hands on the table, supporting her cheeks, and glanced at the maids around her.

Then Jiang Shangxian saw a magical scene - they automatically left the pavilion.

Mom, this look is at its peak, right?

After everyone left, Li Xueyan said, "I heard that my father didn't agree to my marriage with the Five Surnames and Seven Families. You know, the 'Clan Records'..."

Jiang Shangxian nodded exaggeratedly. No wonder those people in the Censorate thought they had grasped the KPI and were frantically impeaching Li Daozon. It turned out that Li Daozon was just unemployed at home as a prince.

He is wholeheartedly following the boss's thoughts. He does whatever the boss wants. Wow, Old Li has a great ability to figure out the boss's thoughts!

But... Jiang Shangxian laughed in his heart for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and his face became serious - something is not right!

If Old Li is so good at thinking, when Li Shimin wants to choose a princess from the royal family to marry, won’t Old Li happily send his daughter to him?

"hiss....."

Thinking of this, Jiang Shangxian took a deep breath: "Wu Niang, do you have any other sisters?"

I'd rather die than let my friend die. I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

Li Xueyan was a little surprised: "Why are you asking this? Of course I do. Don't you know what my father is like? I have several younger brothers and sisters."

But they were all born out of wedlock, and she always ignored them.

"Then your older sister is married?" She is younger than Li Xueyan, so she definitely won't be able to marry into a foreign kingdom. What can she do if she marries when she is too young?

Li Xueyan shook her head, even more puzzled: "Why are you asking this? I only have one older sister, and she got married a few years ago."

At this moment, Yanxia came over with two lacquer boxes in her hands, smiling: "These things are carefully placed, and it took a long time to take them out. I am sorry to have kept Miss Jiang waiting for a long time."

Li Xueyan laughed at her: "There are so many little girls at your disposal, who can you blame if you insist on taking it upon yourself?"

It is an established rule that the older maid orders the younger maid to do things. Moreover, people are divided into close and distant relatives. Li Xueyan is naturally closer to Yanxia, ​​who grew up with her.

Yanxia put the things on the table with a smile: "I'm afraid they'll break them if they're careless. If such a valuable thing is dropped, wouldn't that be a waste?"

"You are the one who has the most reasons. I let you say everything. If you complain again next time, I will ignore you."
