My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

An Xueming's words made Lin Yulan smile, and she couldn't help but glance at Shao Xun.

The third cousin was a very honest person, and he knew that what he said was not true. The uncle and aunt of the An family didn't even know what kind of person they were, so how could they expect the two brothers and sisters to listen to them?

Shao Xun also happened to look at her, and when their eyes met, Lin Yulan quickly looked away. Shao Xun smiled and praised An Xueming: "It's good that you remember it. Ming is becoming more and more sensible!"

An Xueming smiled innocently and shyly, "Now that I've grown up, it's only natural."

An Xiaoqi sighed, "Ah!" She looked at Shao Xun with some heartache, and said faintly, "It's okay for me and my third brother. We don't live here for long anyway, so why bother with her. I just feel sorry for cousin Xun. He is the one who has been really wronged!"

After she said this, An Xueming could no longer laugh. He looked at Shao Xun with sympathy and nodded, agreeing with his sister.

Lin Yulan suddenly felt a little envious of Shao Xun. It was great to have family members who cared about him.

Shao Xun sneered and raised his sword-like eyebrows: "Will I be afraid of them? Will they let me suffer injustice? That requires them to have the ability to do so!"

An Xiaoqi blinked and said with a smile, "That's true. It's good enough that Cousin Xun doesn't let others wrong him. Who would let Cousin Xun feel wronged? What's more, now that Cousin Xun has his cousin's wife to accompany him, he is more proud and less wronged than before!"

An Xueming thought about it and nodded in agreement.

My sister is right.

Lin Yulan: “…”

It seemed like there was something misunderstanding between her cousin and her brother, but she couldn't explain it.

Shao Xun smiled and did not refute.

Lin Yulan thought that the Marquis would not be able to explain it.

Two days later, the An siblings' entourage arrived at the Marquis's Mansion. The siblings distributed the gifts they brought to everyone, and Lin Yulan also hurriedly returned the gifts.

So she made money again.

The gifts given by the An brothers and sisters were very generous, so she didn't need to pay a return gift. Shao Xun had someone deliver them, and she just had to pass them on.

Perhaps to thank her for taking care of his cousins, Shao Xun also gave her a complete set of head jewelry.

Made of gold, it is exquisitely and beautifully designed and inlaid with pearls of all sizes and red corals. There are a total of 26 pieces of various sizes, including flower ornaments, hairpins, flower hairpins, heart-studded ornaments, hairpins, earrings, etc. It is very gorgeous.

According to the experience of the previous life, this set of jewelry is worth at least three thousand taels of silver.

The small treasury is getting fuller and fuller, which makes people feel at ease.

An Xiaoqi was staying in Chunhui Garden. She joked with Xiaoqu and Qianrui about Lin Yulan. She dressed up by combing her hair into a bun and putting on this set of headgear. She looked so elegant and graceful that people could not help but admire her.

An Xiaoqi wanted to call her cousin Xun to take a look, but Lin Yulan was so scared that she quickly stopped her.

Why did you ask Shao Xun to come over to see them? They are just a couple in name only, this would be really awkward...

The An Xiaoqi siblings went to the capital this time to deliver antidote to Shao Xun's wet nurse, Nanny Zhang, and to submit a petition to the court to request military pay for their father and uncles who were guarding the northern border.

Every year, the military pay in the North cannot be allocated in full as scheduled. In the past, they could still make do by robbing Peter to pay Paul, but now they can no longer make do.

This time, the military pay belonging to the North must be received in full as scheduled, otherwise the life of the 100,000 soldiers in the North will be difficult.

In addition, the Northern Hu have been restless and making small moves over the past year or so, so there cannot be any major problems with food and fodder.

Shao Xun had been preparing for this early on. He secretly gave many gifts to key figures in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, and also used threats and inducements to gain leverage over some people, all in order to ensure that the An brothers and sisters would suffer less trouble after they arrived.

Unexpectedly, the An brothers and sisters had a "misunderstanding" with Deng Hengyan as soon as they arrived in Beijing. Deng Hengyan's domineering behavior that day was witnessed by everyone, including Jin Yan, Lin Yuanming and others. Deng Hengyan couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

Shao Xun took advantage of the opportunity and deliberately exaggerate what happened that day.

As he expected, after the An brothers and sisters submitted the memorial from the northern border, the prince who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue disciplined everyone in the ministry and was friendly and did not make things difficult for them at all.

Since the Ministry of Revenue didn't say anything, the Ministry of War was naturally happy to do them a favor.

In addition, Shao Xun secretly sent gifts to smooth things over, so this matter went unexpectedly smoothly.

After receiving the approval from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, everyone felt relieved.

An Xueming couldn't stop smiling. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "The accident that day was really worth it, so worth it!"

Shao Xun rolled his eyes in annoyance and was too lazy to complain.

What happened that day was too dangerous. If one was not careful, it would have easily led to unpredictable consequences. It was really a fluke that he got the result he got today. Thinking back on it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This silly cousin.

He needs to talk to him properly. This kind of thing is hard to come by. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, you should run away if you can. Don't make any rash plans.

After finishing their business, the brother and sister planned to stay in the capital for a few days before setting off, and take the first batch of military pay with them.

Lin Yulan planned to take An Xiaoqi for a stroll around the capital and buy some things.

She got along very well with An Xiaoqi and had planned to give her some gifts, but she didn't expect that she didn't need to spend any money because Shao Xun was very rich and paid for everything. He even said that he would buy whatever she wanted.

Lin Yulan was happy but also a little embarrassed.

Early in the morning, just after breakfast, she was planning to go shopping at the rouge and powder shop, but Mrs. Shao sent someone to ask Lin Yulan to come over for something. Lin Yulan had no choice but to ask An Xiaoqi to wait for a while, and she went with Xiaoqu.

As soon as she and her servant left, Lin Yuwei and Meng Zifang came to visit.

An Xiaoqi loved Lin Yuwei and thought she was a good person too, so she quickly asked Madam Meng and Miss Meng to come in, and she went out of Chunhui Garden to greet them warmly.

Lin Yuwei didn't know An Xiaoqi and was wondering about it. But after hearing An Xiaoqi's smiling introduction, Lin Yuwei was so frightened that she screamed "Ah!" and took two steps back in confusion.

Her reaction made An Xiaoqi very embarrassed. She was dumbfounded and didn't know whether she had done something wrong unintentionally.

She really didn't understand the circle of powerful people in Beijing, nor did she understand the various rules and manners of the ladies in Beijing, so, did she do something wrong unintentionally without realizing it?

Lin Yuwei's heart was filled with shock and she was throbbing with fear.

An Xiaoqi? Cousin? Is she the cousin from the An family in the northern border? If she remembered correctly, it should be her, right?

But in her last life, wasn't she and her third brother killed by the second son of the Deng family as soon as they entered the capital? Why, why was it here...

These days, she and Brother Meng were so sweet and loving that she didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. Unexpectedly, the An brothers and sisters came to Beijing.

Aunt Qi watched coldly, hoping that An Xiaoqi and Lin Yuwei would not get along. She deliberately stepped forward and acted very cordial and respectful to Lin Yuwei: "Madam Meng, you are finally here. Madam Hou has been thinking about you all the time. Please come in quickly."
