Wealth and glory seek stability

Xuanyuan Qiyuan and Gao Yunhuai were both martial artists, and their hearing was better than that of normal people. They heard every word of the conversation in the yard.

"This little girl is no ordinary girl. She is very good at controlling people." Xuanyuan Qiyuan commented while eating a bun in his hand. His hands with distinct joints were perfect and looked like a work of art.

Gao Yunhuai quickly finished two buns, took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil stains on his hands, and frowned slightly. The buns were delicious, but too greasy.

"She's just a little girl. Your Highness, are you interested in her?" Gao Yunhuai knew Xuanyuan Qiyuan's bad taste very well. He liked to go against others. The more he said this, the less interested he would be in Jian Xi.

as predicted.

"How could I possibly be interested in a bean sprout like this? I just thought it was fun. It's not as delicious as this bun. When I get back, I'll ask someone to find the person who made the bun and have him come to my house and make it for me." Xuanyuan Qiyuan took two more bites of the bun.

Gao Yunhuai estimated that the time was about right, "Your Highness, that group of people should have left, let's go out." More importantly, he didn't want Xuanyuan Qiyuan to have anything to do with Jian Xi anymore, as this would harm Jian Xi.

Their engagement was in name only. Whether it was Jian Xi's rescue of his mother that day or her help today, it could be seen that she was a kind-hearted woman.

perhaps--

It wasn't that hard to accept marrying her.

Gao Yunhuai supported Xuanyuan Qiyuan and they walked out of the room.

Jian Xi suppressed the gossip in her mind and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Gao Yunhuai pursed his lips and said, "Well, the group of people should have left. It's inconvenient for two men like us to stay in your house. Sorry for disturbing you. I'll help him back to my house first."

Seeing that Gao Yunhuai was a little "thin", Jian Xi kindly suggested: "Okay, Brother Leizi, you can send them off."

Lei Zi stepped forward and stretched out his hand, but unexpectedly Xuanyuan Qiyuan said, "You don't need to help me, I can walk by myself." Then he let go of Gao Yunhuai's hand and walked by himself.

Don't think he didn't see that the girl looked sympathetic.

He doesn't need anyone's pity!

Lei Zi's hand hung awkwardly in the air.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan walked away, Gao Yunhuai turned to Lei Zi and warned him, "There are differences between men and women, I hope you respect yourself." After saying that, he glanced at Jian Xi.

Lei Zi immediately understood and was speechless.

He wondered if there was something wrong with the two men's brains.

Everyone spoke incoherently, but still explained: "That's my sister, what are you thinking?! Brother Shen asked me to look after his sister before he left, you are such a rude person."

He only has brotherly and sister feelings for Jian Xi, and does not have any romantic thoughts towards her.

Besides, how old is Jian Xi?

Judging from his appearance, he looks like a scholar, but his mind is so dirty.

The world has really changed!

Gao Yunhuai was relieved, and before leaving, he said, "That would be the best."

Jian Xi patted Lei Zi from behind, "Brother Lei Zi, what's wrong with you?"

Lei Zi came back to his senses, "It's okay, they are just two weirdos."

"Don't think about it, pack up, I'm going back." It's getting late today, it's time to go back.

"Oh, okay, I'll accept the job there when I go back. I'll take you to see the shop next time you come out." Lei Zi still has some connections in Chengde Trading Shop, and it would be a pity not to use them.

Jian Xi half-jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away? It would be another waste of time."

Lei Zi said firmly: "Don't be afraid. Even if you ran away, there must be other reasons. I won't blame you. At worst, I can go to work at the dock. I have hands and feet. In this peaceful and prosperous world, how can people starve to death?" He was very open-minded.

Jian Xi smiled and said nothing.

After the two separated, Jian Xi went to Moxiang Pavilion to get something.

In front of the shopkeeper, he opened the box, took out the silver bills and counted them three or four times.

Until the shopkeeper couldn't stand it anymore, "You're done! We're regular customers, don't you have this little bit of trust?"

Jian Xi counted four times before stopping. "This is different. Personal relationships are personal relationships, and business is business. I'll count it in front of you, so I can save you the trouble of looking for you later."

The shopkeeper thought about it and realized that in the past, when he gave change to customers who came to the store, there were cases where the customers came to the store and said that the amount of money was wrong. So he decided to write a sign next time.

The money must be counted in person and we are not responsible after leaving the counter.

What a genius he is!

I used to think Jian Xi was very stingy, but now I find it particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Then you should leave quickly. The dividends are calculated monthly. You can come and collect them at this time next month."

Jian Xi packed the books and boxes and nodded, "I won't forget."

The shopkeeper felt a pang of pain when he saw Jian Xi carrying the large package, but thinking of the small amount of money that would come in from the release of the sequel, he was kind enough to let Xiao Liuzi take Jian Xi back.

"Xiao Liuzi, take the girl back home."

"Okay, boss."

Xiao Liuzi drove the carriage diligently.

Jian Xi felt guilty and threw one or two taels of silver to Xiao Liuzi when she got off the car.

"Girl, this..." He sometimes got some tips when driving the carriage, but it was just a few copper coins. This was the first time he saw someone so generous.

Jian Xi looked back and smiled, "Keep it. This is the compensation for your wages." She walked into the palace with her small body carrying a large package.

Xiao Liuzi was stunned by Jian Xi's smile and murmured, "Wages...? Could it be?" The shopkeeper always said that he would deduct wages, but he still paid the full amount every month. It was just talk.

Xiao Liuzi was both amused and confused. Could it be that she heard the shopkeeper say that he would deduct his wages and then give him the money instead?

What a lovely little girl.

Jian Xi used to study for the Xia family, but now Cai Lan has taken over this job.

Her main task every day now is to learn embroidery with Dingxiang.

When she is free, she helps Qiangwei deal with the chores in the mansion. Qiangwei is the steward and maid in Xia's room, and she can be inquired about all the affairs, big or small, in the Magnolia Courtyard.

Qiangwei's mother is Mother Lin, who taught Jian Xi etiquette when she first entered the palace. Qiangwei's father manages the farm that Xia brought as a dowry, and the whole family are Xia's confidants.

"Can't you learn more from Jian Xi? You are the same age, but you are like wooden sticks. You can't even remember the accounts."

Qiangwei was unable to handle all the responsibilities and just wanted to train a few more arms so that she could share some of the responsibilities in the future. However, she didn't expect that they were all just empty-handed people who looked good but were useless.

"Sister Qiangwei, calm down." Jian Xi hurried forward to comfort her.

"I would like to calm down, but unfortunately there is no one who can do it."

Jian Xi didn't want to stand out, so she stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, sister. Just teach me. Once you've taught me, it will be the same for me to teach them." You must learn what you should learn, because you will have no chance to do so once you leave the palace.

I just can't let Qiangwei scold people like this anymore. Isn't this just making her hate me? Didn't she see that the little girls below were already glaring at her?

Qiangwei was relieved. "It's easier for you. If you are willing to learn, I'll trouble you to help me train them."

"I am very happy to be able to serve my sister. It is too polite to say that it is hard work."
