Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

"So, what do you want to say?"

"You said that you want to give her a sincere heart. But can she really get what she wants?" Meng Huaibei asked, "There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the number will only increase day by day. She will be trapped by the heavy palace walls and deeply involved in the chaos of the three palaces and six courtyards. In order to win the emperor's favor, women are not afraid of deep scheming and use all kinds of despicable means. She will have to exhaust her energy to deal with these dirty things. Have you ever thought about whether this is really what she wants?"

"She...she..." Baili Zhao was choked with sobs and was speechless for a moment.

In his heart, he always believed that as long as the two of them were in harmony with each other, they could overcome all obstacles.

He could choose Sanniang without hesitation and stick to his original intention, but... he ignored what Sanniang would think.

If you like someone, you must give her respect and the right to choose.

But no matter what, Sanniang must stay by his side.

"I will let her live a peaceful life, a life she likes. Don't worry about all this. Just be a good brother to her. If she didn't value you a little, I would never let you live such a leisurely and comfortable life in this world."

Flames burst out from the eyes of the two people as they looked at each other.

At Jiang Yan's urging, Jiang Nianwei brought tea and a fruit plate with her maid.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you look very happy?"

Baili Zhao immediately retracted his threatening expression and replaced it with a kind smile, "We are talking about business."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Abei, he said that the life in the Jiang Mansion was too leisurely, which made him feel uncomfortable. So he came to me to ask for a job."

"Abei, the capital is so big and there are so many official positions. You should be able to show your talents. I told you that you decided to resign from your post too hastily."

Jiang Nianwei also felt that he shouldn't stay at home idle like this.

Meng Huaibei said nothing. He knew that Baili Zhao couldn't stand him staying with Jiang Nianwei and was trying to find a way to get rid of him.

No, I actually feel that life in the Jiang Mansion is quite..."

Before he could finish his words, Baili Zhao cut him off, and asked, "Abei is very skilled, and the Red Fire Army is currently short of a general. Are you interested in taking on this role?"

"But Ah Bei doesn't know much about the Red Fire Army. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to send him there rashly?"

Baili Zhao raised his lips and said, "Sanniang, you have also been in the military camp. What do you think? After all, they are just a group of young and passionate men. It won't take long for them to get along as well as brothers."

"You are right. In the Red Fire Camp, everyone is kind-hearted and has a pure heart. Ah Bei, if you go there, you will be very different from before. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell them your name, and I guarantee they will be afraid of you and dare not act rashly."

Meng Huaibei lowered his head and moved his lips slightly: "Sister, do you also want me to go to the military camp?"

"All I wish for you is to have a place where you can fully display your talents." Her eyes were full of expectations.

"Okay, then I'll go!"

"In that case, I will... go." Meng Huaibei made up his mind and his knees bent involuntarily. Even though the person in front of him was the monarch he didn't want to face in his heart, he still kowtowed respectfully, "Thank you, Lord."

"You're welcome. Come on, we're a family. There's no need to be so polite."

Meng Huaibei sneered in his heart but maintained a polite smile on his face.

Behind the scenes, he planned all kinds of strategies, hoping to keep himself away from Jiang Nianwei. Only he knew how narrow-minded he was.

However, if this is what Jiang Nianwei wants, he will do it without hesitation.

For her, he vowed to make a name for himself and achieve fame and success on the battlefield.

"Abei, I specially sewed a pair of new shoes for you. I will ask Taozhi to deliver them to you later."

"Thank you, sister."

Baili Zhao was jealous again when he saw the two of them were so happy. "Ahem, what about me? Did Sanniang prepare anything for me?"

Jiang Nianwei answered truthfully: "Didn't I make clothes for you before? Didn't I also make new shoes for you?"

"But that was all in the past, and now I want another copy."

Meng Huaibei secretly complained in his heart, this guy wouldn't even let go of a pair of shoes and had to fight for it.

Just now he was threatening me with his fierce eyes, but now he was acting like a good boy in front of my sister. I really wish I could shut his sweet-talking mouth!

Jiang Nianwei agreed: "Okay, when I have free time, I will sew it for you myself."

"Sanniang, I already knew you were the best to me."

Baili Zhao delayed here for quite some time until the eunuchs beside him repeatedly reported that a minister wanted to see him, so he had no choice but to leave.

"Sanniang, I will come to see you again."

He lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "You can sneak over to see me, I'll be looking forward to it."

After Baili Zhao left, Meng Huaibei still had an angry expression, but he had restrained himself a lot.

Jiang Nianwei warned: "When you get to the Red Fire Camp, be careful and cautious, don't try to be brave, understand?"

"I know, sister, don't worry."

No matter how bumpy and difficult the road ahead is, he will not be afraid as long as he can get his sister's reassuring smile.

Even though he knew that Baili Zhao had bad intentions, he was still willing to go to the Chihuo military camp as long as his sister was happy.

But he is also a petty person. Baili Zhao deliberately tricked him just now, and he wants him to pay it back.

"Sister, do you know? There is news in the court that General Zheng wants to send his daughter to the palace."

Jiang Nianwei was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I've heard about it a long time ago."

"Then aren't you angry with His Majesty?" Meng Huaibei was puzzled.

"I'm angry, but what can I do? I feel bad, but it won't help."

Now she just wanted to see the strategies she had given to Baili Zhao implemented.

The situation in the imperial city today is unpredictable. Even as the emperor, it is difficult to escape the constraints and do what you want.

She was well aware of his difficulties. Even if he married General Zheng's daughter, it would only be to add a stable chess piece to the court.

"Sister, I really don't want to see you sad about these things anymore."

"I understand. How could I not know your feelings? If one day, I am not by your side, remember, do not confront His Majesty head-on. You must know that taking a step back will open up a new world."

Meng Huaibei finally realized that she knew everything that had just happened.

"Sister, do you know?"

Jiang Nianwei nodded gently, her eyes gentle: "Of course I know that he intends to lead you into the Red Fire Army. I have thought about it again and again, and this move will actually benefit you a lot. In the past, although you were vigorous and resolute, and retired bravely after purging the rebels, there are still many people who are wary of you and regard you as a thorn in their eyes. How can I selfishly tie you to my side and just be a personal guard? Only by letting you join the Red Fire Army can I truly protect you."

Jiang Nianwei then spoke out her thoughts truthfully.

"Abei, I really don't want anything to happen to you again. I want you to live a peaceful life."

Meng Huaibei only felt his eyes slightly wet, he turned his head away, "I know."

……

After Ah Bei left, Tao Zhi stepped forward and gently placed the exquisite visiting card in Jiang Nianwei's hand, and reported softly:

"Miss, Miss Meng from the Meng Mansion has sent someone to deliver a visiting card, sincerely inviting you to come to the mansion tomorrow to chat and enjoy the spring scenery together."

Jiang Nianwei nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "I already know."

Recently, she discovered that the peach branches' faces seemed to be stained with a bit of beauty by the peach blossoms in spring, as if a spring breeze was blowing on their faces, and it was difficult to hide her thoughts.

Jiang Nianwei said jokingly with a smile: "Look at your beaming face. Could it be that you are very happy and have encountered some joyful event? Tell me about it, so that I can share in your joy."

Taozhi heard this and waved her hands and said with a smile, "Oh, Miss, please don't tease me. There is no big happy event. However, if you really want to count, there are two small things worth being happy about. One is that Madam is kind and considerate of the servants and has increased my monthly salary. The other is that Madam also said that she would promote me to the head maid, so that I can manage those little maids in the future."

After saying this, her eyes sparkled with joy.

"It is indeed a happy event."

Jiang Nianwei nodded slightly, but was thinking secretly in her heart.

Walking into the familiar courtyard, I realized that no new staff had been added since I returned home, and it still maintained its former tranquility and simplicity.

In the yard, there were only Taozhi and two old ladies who were in charge of sweeping the floor.

Looking at it now, perhaps, it is time to add some vitality to this cold and quiet courtyard.

After all, with Taozhi alone, it is inevitable that she would be unable to take care of all the trivial matters.

Taozhi was a very special maid to her. Emotionally, perhaps she was not even a maid but a relative who shared the joys and sorrows with her.

Jiang Nianwei suddenly had an idea. She wanted to give Taozhi the best future.

……

Taozhi let out a long breath and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the deep backyard of the Jiang Mansion.

There, a child about ten years old was waiting obediently, with anxiety in his eyes.

She quickened her pace, approached and gently scolded:

"Didn't I tell your brother not to send any more letters? It would be bad if someone saw it."

The child scratched his head and said innocently: "I didn't want to come, but my brother insisted that I make this trip, saying it was urgent."

Taozhi heard this and shook her head helplessly. She took the slightly wrinkled letter from the child and took out a basket of exquisite cakes from the basket. "Here, take these cakes back and share them with your brother."

"Okay, thank you Sister Taozhi!" The child's eyes lit up, he happily took the cake, turned around and ran away.

When she returned to the yard, she saw that the young lady was already taking a nap, so she took out the letter, on which was a crooked love poem.

"This is simply nonsense." Although Taozhi complained like this, her fingertips gently folded the letter and carefully put it in her arms.

However, she had never expected that all of this was silently seen by Jiang Nianwei who was pretending to be asleep nearby. The sudden look made Taozhi's heart tremble violently.

Taozhi's eyes flashed with panic: "Miss, when did you wake up?"

"Not only did I wake up, I also found out that you, Taozhi, were doing something secretly."

Taozhi's heart seemed to be about to jump out of her chest. She had never imagined that her young lady would be so sensitive.

Unexpectedly, the young lady just said, "You, did you secretly take money to help the family again?"

"Miss, you really have a keen eye. Even such a secret matter cannot escape your discerning eyes."

It turned out that it was not this matter, but that matter, and Taozhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"When you left, they said they wanted to cut off their relationship with you. Now that you're back, they're asking for money again."

"As the eldest sister in the family, I have many brothers and sisters to take care of. Although my parents are cruel and heartless, how can I not care about the relationship between brothers and sisters? They said that if I don't send money back home, they will sell my brothers and sisters. How can I bear to see them fall into such a situation?"

As soon as Taozhi finished speaking, a nanny came with two maids.

"Miss Third, this is the maid you ordered to be sent here. You can give her any name you like."

The two little maids looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, still childish and curious. They couldn't help but raise their heads and want to take a look at Jiang Nianwei.

"Well, stay over there. As for the name, there is no requirement. You can call it whatever you like. There are not many rules in my courtyard. There are only three iron laws: one, do not steal; two, do not make irresponsible comments; three, do not betray."

The two maids were delighted and said, "Thank you, Third Miss."

Taozhi, who was standing by, had red eyes and was almost crying. She choked up and said, "Miss, Miss, do you think Taozhi is a burden and don't need her anymore?"

She was obviously still here, so why did they send two little maids over?

Jiang Nianwei sighed softly: "Taozhi, come with me."

Taozhi cried and was extremely frightened.

She told Jiang Nianwei everything she had hidden from him, "I know I was wrong. I will never communicate with other men again."

Jiang Nianwei covered her mouth and chuckled, "Look at you, you finally admit it. Come on, tell me honestly, do you have someone you like?"

Taozhi cried, "If the young lady doesn't like me, I don't want any lover. I only want the young lady. Wuwuwu, please don't let me leave."

"You are leaving." Jiang Nianwei looked at the sincere expression in front of her and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy in her heart.

"It's time for you to get married. If you think carefully, you are already twenty years old. Now you have a lover. I also know who that person is. Is he the powerful young man in the Red Fire Army?"

Taozhi blushed, "Miss, Taozhi doesn't want to marry someone else, I just want to accompany you and serve you."

"But, Taozhi, I hope you'll be happy. Besides, even if you get married, you can still stay by my side. Look at those two little maids, don't they still need you to train them? Only when you train them yourself, I'll feel at ease."

"I have discussed it with my father and asked him to adopt you as his daughter. From now on, you will no longer be a maid but a real family member of mine." Jiang Nianwei gently helped her up.
