The grass in the factory should be plucked

When Jiang Li returned home, she was warmly welcomed by Aunt Lian, who immediately brought out a pile of new clothes for her to try on.

"See if there's anything wrong, and I'll fix it for you right away. During the New Year, it's not the time to sew."

"what?"

Jiang Li had no choice but to apologize to Xie Changan in her heart. My aunt said that we are not allowed to use needlework during the New Year, but it’s not that I don’t want to learn!

Girls naturally like beautiful new clothes. At first, Jiang Li tried one after another with great interest.

Eventually, she couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy, "Aunt, that's enough. I'll only be at home for a month. I can't wear all these clothes in a month if I wear a different one every day!"

Aunt Lian frowned and said, "How can these be enough? There are clothes to wear at home, to wear when meeting guests, and to wear when going out. What girl wouldn't have to change several sets of clothes a day? It's New Year's Day, it's not the right time to wear old clothes."

"No, it's still too little, we need to make a few more sets!"

"There are also jewellery to match the clothes. Tomorrow your aunt will go with you to pick out a few more sets."

Jiang Li suddenly felt overwhelmed and quickly changed the subject: "Aunt, I want to go pay my respects to my mother."

Aunt Lian said sadly: "It is my fault that I neglected it. It is amazing that you still remember it. It is time to take you to pay respect to your mother."

The next day, Aunt Lian prepared the sacrificial supplies and, together with Steward Liu, drove a carriage and took Jiang Li out of the city to a barren mountain.

Jiang Li couldn't believe it: "They buried my mother here?"

Aunt Lian said angrily: "Yes, it is said that you and Miss Ke's old lady were not allowed to enter the Jiang family's ancestral tomb, but also found a barren mountain and buried you hastily!"

Jiang Li's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I've made a note of this. I will make them kneel before my mother's spirit and take her back properly!"

Manager Liu also looked sad. The young lady was such a beautiful and gentle person, but she was tortured to death by the Jiang family. Fortunately, the young lady had her own ability, otherwise she would have been killed in the cold palace...

He gritted his teeth secretly and decided to speed up the process of bankrupting the Jiang family after the new year!

Aunt Lian brought Jiang Li to Fang Yi's tomb. It was a lonely little mound with only a small stone tablet engraved with the identity of the tomb owner: Tomb of Fang Ayi.

There was no indication that she was still a member of the Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Li sneered, thinking that Fang Yi probably didn't want to have anything to do with the Jiang family before she died.

She knelt down in front of the grave, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably: "Mother, I'm here to see you."

Aunt Lian also cried, "Miss, look, your precious little raccoon has grown so big. You must protect her in your grave!"

Manager Liu quietly placed the incense, candles and offerings in front of the tomb, and the three of them kowtowed several times in front of the tomb.

While Jiang Li was burning paper money, he kept muttering in his heart: "Mother, I have promised myself to you. Your future son-in-law is a fourth-rank military officer. I will bring him to you in two days."

"He is very handsome and very kind to my daughter. You will definitely like him."

As he was muttering, the burning paper money suddenly burst into tall flames, scaring Jiang Li and the other two.

Aunt Lian cried, "Miss, you are here? Don't scare the little raccoon..."

Jiang Li thought to herself, "Mom, don't get too excited. I'm definitely better at choosing men than you are!"

His anger died down immediately, as if he was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to her anymore.

Seeing that it was getting late, they had to hurry back before the city gates closed. So Aunt Lian packed up her things, said goodbye to the young lady, and went back with Jiang Li and Steward Liu.

At night, Jiang Li secretly dated Xie Changan in the backyard again.

She was wearing a pink brocade jacket today, with a circle of snow-white rabbit fur adorning the collar. She had her hair combed into two buns, with pearls dotted in her hair, which made her skin look even whiter than snow and more delicate and flawless.

Xie Changan hugged her in his arms and said in a hoarse voice: "I really want to hide you and never show you to anyone else."

"You wish!" Jiang Li glared at him, "Don't forget you promised me that you would not detain me!"

Xie Changan calmed his breath, let her go, and said with a smile: "How can I bear to break your wings?"

Jiang Li smiled with curved eyebrows: "Brother Changan, you are the best."

"Are you going to pay respect to your mother-in-law today?"

"Well, when are you free? I promised mother that I would take you to see her."

"Then let's do it tomorrow."

"I'm going out. How should I tell Aunt Lian?" Jiang Li was a little distressed.

Xie Changan scratched her little nose and said, "Silly girl, you said you were on duty! I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"it is good."

The little eagle also fluttered down from the wall: "Where are you going to play? I want to go with you even if you are in the wind!"

These two people now abandon it at the slightest provocation and go on dates secretly. This is too much!

"Okay, I will definitely bring Chengfeng with me tomorrow."

Jiang Li placed Xiaoying on her shoulder lovingly.

The young eagle is growing fast and is now almost as big as an adult eagle. Jiang Li's small shoulders can hardly support it.

The next day, Jiang Li coaxed Aunt Lian and said she was going to be on duty, and got on the carriage that Xie Changan came to pick her up.

She went out wearing the uniform of a secret guard, and after getting on the carriage, she changed into casual clothes. After all, it would be too conspicuous to go to the grave in the uniform of a secret guard.

Xie Changan prepared a moon-white double-breasted jacket for her. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with delicate orchid patterns. It was paired with a gold-woven flowered skirt of the same color as the orchid, which looked both elegant and charming.

Jiang Li was very satisfied. She didn't expect Xie Changan to be so good at picking clothes.

Xie Changan looked at her, his eyes becoming even deeper.

"Brother Changan, did you buy it yourself?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.

She could imagine what kind of sensation it would cause if Xie Changan, the "evil star" in the eyes of others, appeared in a clothing shop in the capital and went to buy women's clothes.

"Zhou Bo asked Jinxiufang to send it," Xie Changan said with a smile, "I have several more sets at home. Shall I send them to you tomorrow?"

Jinxiufang is a famous ready-made clothing shop in the capital, specializing in making clothes for dignitaries.

Generally, clothes are tailored at home, and a small number of ready-made clothes are also sold at a high price. The silver cost of a piece of clothing is enough for ordinary people to live on for a year.

"Please don't do that. What will Aunt Lian think if you send me clothes?"

"Then keep it for later." He looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of meaning.

Jiang Li blushed. What he meant was that she should save it for wearing after she gets married.

"Brother Chang'an, don't you know that clothes will become outdated?" Jiang Li said angrily.

Xie Changan choked.

Shen Muchun had been assisting the Imperial Hospital in taking care of the old emperor's health, and had secretly revealed to him that the old emperor didn't have much time left, only one or two years.

Xie He'an thought that he had to prepare a retreat for his little girl.

When they arrived at the desolate mountain where Fang Yi was buried, Xie Changan put a veil on Jiang Li, carried her out of the carriage, and carried a basket of offerings, and they walked up the mountain together.

The little eagle circled above them, sometimes spreading its wings and flying high, sometimes swooping down, looking extremely happy.

Unexpectedly, we met a group of people coming down the mountain.

When he saw the man in the lead, Xie Changan's eyes suddenly became sharp.
