Jiang Tunan thought about it for a while and found that it was really expensive to maintain such a guard.

"Forget it, I'm a dead man."

Meng Jingchen laughed softly.

"Miss Jiang is joking."

"By the way, Master Mu, how did you get involved with these thugs?"

Jiang Tunan saw Mu Wuhuan in the corner out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly remembered that this person existed.

"I don't know either. They said I messed with the wrong people..."

Mu Wuhuan looked somewhat sad.

"Tomorrow is the imperial examination. My family is poor, and I am not as powerful as others. Now that I have offended someone, I am afraid I will not be able to stay in Kyoto in the future."

Jiang Tunan was filled with indignation.

"This is really too much. There are still people who dare to do this under the emperor's feet. Don't worry, Master Mu, I will help you!"

"Thank you very much, Miss Jiang."

Mu Wuhuan bowed to Jiang Tunan, with a hint of triumph on his lips.

Meng Jingchen was fanning himself nonchalantly with a faint smile on his face.

"But will this cause too much trouble to Miss Jiang? I'm terrified if this causes trouble to Miss Jiang."

Jiang Tunan waved his hand indifferently, then grabbed Mu Wuhuan's left hand and put the apricot blossom bracelet on his hand on Mu Wuhuan's hand.

Mu Wuhuan:?

"Here, this is the apricot blossom bracelet that my good sister gave me to bless me to get into the girls' school. Now I give it to you, and I also wish you a good result in the exam."

Meng Jingchen watched this scene with great interest.

Mu Wuhuan stayed where he was, staring at the bracelet in his hand in a daze.

Every step Jiang Tunan took was beyond his expectations.

"Mr. Mu, Miss Jiang is so thoughtful, why don't you thank her quickly."

Meng Jingchen was in a good mood. Seeing others being humiliated always made him happy.

"Thank you... Miss Jiang."

"Well, you're welcome."

Jiang Tunan retreated silently.

"Well, I have something else to do so I'll leave first. You guys take your time shopping."

After saying that, he took Chunhua away. Seeing this, Mu Wuhuan also said goodbye to Meng Jingchen.

After the two groups had left, Zi Wen went up to ask,

"Master, why are you helping her?"

Meng Jingchen looked at the direction where Jiang Tunan left, seemingly in deep thought.

"Xiao Huaimin has been neutral in the court for several years, and the Second Prince and the First Prince have tried to win him over several times but have failed."

"Master, do you mean to win over Xiao Huaimin through Miss Jiang?"

Ziwen was a little confused.

"But she is just a cousin of the Xiao family."

"But I heard that Xiao Huaimin treats this cousin very well. Even Xiao Mingrui, that cold-blooded guy, treats her with courtesy. I believe there must be something about her that the Xiao family cares about. Maybe she is the breakthrough point for us to win over the Xiao family."

Meng Jingchen retracted his gaze.

"Xiao Huaimin thought that by remaining neutral he would not be involved in the dispute among the princes, but as long as he was in the court, he was already involved."

Ziwen seemed to understand and nodded, not quite understanding.

Meng Jingchen took a step forward, but stopped and looked again in the direction where Jiang Tunan left.

"interesting."

After Jiang Tunan left, he quickly went to find Luo Yunqing. The two of them walked around together for a while, and it was noon.

"Xiao Nan, why don't we go to Jumanlou for lunch today?"

Jiang Tunan had the impression that Jumanlou was one of the best restaurants in Kyoto, and the roast duck there was absolutely amazing.

"Yes, yes, I like the roast duck the most!"

Luo Yun pinched Jiang Tunan lightly and teased,

"Little greedy cat!"

The two chatted and laughed all the way to Jumanlou, and found that Jumanlou was already packed with people.

"Madam Xiao, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. Please come this way!"

When Jiang Tunan and his companions arrived at the entrance of Jumanlou, someone came to greet them immediately.

"Waiter, are there any single rooms available?"

The waiter said apologetically,

"I'm so sorry, Madam. All the single rooms are booked today. There are only a few empty seats in the lobby. Why don't you and this lady bear with it?"

Luo Yunqing felt a little embarrassed. It was not appropriate for her and Jiang Tunan to have dinner with all kinds of people in the lobby.

"this..."

Jiang Tunan agreed directly.

"Sister Yun Qing, just have a meal and leave after eating. Nothing will happen."

Before Luo Yunqing could even agree to do so, Jiang Tunan had already pushed her down onto the seat.

"Look, this location is in the corner, no one will notice us."

Luo Yunqing hesitated, but finally agreed.

Suddenly, a storyteller on the high platform in the building clapped his hands and startled Jiang Tunan.

"Everyone, let's continue from the last chapter. It tells the story of Wang Xiaochuan who waited in the cold kiln for eighteen years and finally waited for Xue Chugui, who had become a prince from a foreign land, to return..."

Jiang Tunan listened attentively. The more he listened, the more familiar it seemed to him. Wasn't this just a replica of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan? !

I felt bored at once, as I thought there would be some new stories here.

"Miss, Xue Chugui is really infatuated. For Wang Xiaochuan, he actually gave up his status as a prince and went back."

Jiang Tunan was a little speechless. Chunhua had the potential to be in love. But when he turned around, he saw Luo Yunqing and Wanxin also looking at the stage with a moved look on their faces.

Jiang Tunan: Please eat well, guys.

Suddenly, Jiang Tunan had an idea. Yes, now that she could write, it meant that she could write storybooks. Then, if she wrote a few melodramatic stories and sold them, she would be rich.

At this time, in the private room upstairs, Ji Lingyue was turning the cup idly, while the maid Zhule beside him handed her some fruit.

"Miss, is this storyteller's story not good?"

Ji Lingyue was listless.

"It's always the same old routine, the passionate man and the infatuated woman, or the unfaithful man and the infatuated woman. Anyway, it has to be the infatuated woman. I'm tired of hearing it."

Zhu Le put the fruit plate on the table and advised softly,

"But Miss, all the best storytellers in Kyoto are gathered in the mansion."

"Okay, let's serve the food. Today's story is quite boring."

Ji Lingyue sat up straight and looked downstairs, only to see Jiang Tunan and his group.

"Cousin? Why are they here too?"

Zhu Le shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Come to think of it, I said I would visit you after the last welcoming banquet, but I haven't gone yet. It seems like it's time to find a time to go."

Ji Lingyue propped up his head and drew circles on the table with his fingers.

"The most annoying thing is dealing with people."

Inside the Ye Mansion, the Ye family was having dinner.

"Mother, I'm going to visit Miss Jiang at the Xiao Mansion tomorrow."

Ye Ruzhen said lightly.

Ye Ruxuan said sarcastically when she heard it.

"Sister, why did you go to the Xiao family to look for that person? In my opinion, sister should listen to my advice and stay away from Jiang Tunan, otherwise you will be implicated by her sooner or later."

Ye Ruzhen rolled her eyes.

"Ye Ruxuan, are you looking for a fight?"

Lord Ye's wife, Jin Mengjiao, who is also Ye Ruzhen's mother, was extremely happy when she heard this.

"Okay, Zhenzhen, go to the Xiao Mansion to look for Miss Jiang. The young masters of the Xiao Mansion are also in the mansion. When the time comes, you can find a chance to meet them. Maybe you can marry into a rich family."

Ye Ruzhen was speechless.

"Mom! I'm going to look for Miss Jiang, not to meet my husband!"

Jin Mengjiao was immersed in her own world.

"What kind of clothes should you wear tomorrow? You want the young masters of the Xiao Mansion to be impressed by you right away. No, I have to find my dowry hairpin."

Jin Mengjiao didn't even have time to eat and went back to her room to look through her dowry.

Ye Ruzhen felt secretly regretful in her heart. She really shouldn't have said that!
