The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

The carriage soon arrived at Yongshengfang. Yongshengfang was still crowded with people as usual. Xu Qu and his five companions entered the shop. When Manager Sun saw that they were Xu Qu and his companions, he stepped forward to greet them personally.

Huanhuan originally thought that Xu Qu had helped manage the Xu family's business in the past, so he should be more familiar with the various shopkeepers. But Huanhuan soon discovered that Shopkeeper Sun not only got closer to Xiangyue when greeting everyone, but was also polite and friendly to Xie Shen. This made Huanhuan quickly remember that Yongshengfang was Mrs. Xie's dowry, and it was estimated that Shopkeeper Sun was originally from the Xie family.

Xu Qu didn't seem to care about the situation of Yongshengfang. Instead, Xiangyue asked Shopkeeper Sun about the recent business situation of Yongshengfang: "Shopkeeper Sun, is the business of Yongshengfang going well recently?"

Shopkeeper Sun replied, "Everything is normal. Business is usually better during the changing seasons. The autumn hunting season is approaching, so more young men, young ladies, and ladies from various mansions have come to the shop to order riding and archery uniforms. Therefore, business is much better than usual."

"Haha, we are here to make riding and archery uniforms too." Xie Shen took over the conversation quickly.

"Don't worry, Master Shen. I will arrange for the most experienced tailor in the workshop to make clothes for you first."

After that, there was a process of selecting materials and taking measurements. When everything was done, Huanhuan, Xiangyue and Xiangyin were discussing returning to the carriage first, when suddenly a loud female voice rang out beside them: "Miss Xu! What a coincidence to meet you here!"

Huanhuan and her sister-in-law looked to the side and saw a young woman with a bun smiling at them. Xiangyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly searched for the information of this woman in her mind. Fortunately, she quickly recalled who she was, so she quickly said, "Oh, it turns out to be Miss Jiang. What a coincidence. Are you here to choose materials for clothes as well?"

Miss Jiang was a little embarrassed when she saw Xiangyue was stunned for a moment before she remembered her. She laughed dryly and said, "It's autumn hunting time, come and make a new riding and archery uniform."

"Miss Jiang is also going on the autumn hunt? Oh, with Miss Jiang coming, wouldn't it be as easy as taking candy from a sack for you to get the first prize on the woman's side? Others will definitely have no chance." Xiangyue reacted quickly, and her words showed that she not only remembered the other party, but also her strengths, successfully resolving the embarrassment just now.

Miss Jiang was very pleased to hear this, and her expression immediately became more proud. She gathered the hair by her ears and asked with a smile: "I heard that Miss Xu has always disliked such occasions. I wonder if she will participate in the autumn hunt this time?"

"Yes, I will. This time, not only I will participate, but also my brother, sister-in-law and sister." Xiangyue said with a faint smile.

"Oh? Your brother and sister-in-law are also participating?" Miss Jiang's smile gradually faded.

"Yes, the one next to me is my sister-in-law. This is Miss Jiang, the great-granddaughter of General Jiang Dao, a famous founding general." Xiangyue Wei Huanhuan introduced herself to Miss Jiang.

Huanhuan and Miss Jiang bowed politely to each other, but before they could talk, Xu Qu and Xie Shen came over.

"Oh, isn't this Madam Wu?" Xie Shen acted as if he was familiar with everyone.

"Hello, Mr. Xie." Miss Jiang bowed, quickly glanced at Xu Qu next to Xie Shen, and then lowered her head.

"I wonder how Brother Wu is doing recently?" Xie Shen asked again.

Miss Jiang raised her head and smiled, saying, "Thank you for remembering me, Master Xie. Everything is fine. I wonder how Master Xie is doing recently?"

Xie Shen smiled and said, "Good, very good. We are here to make some riding and archery clothes for the autumn hunt. When it comes to hunting, Madam Wu Shao, you are the best female hero."

"No, no, thank you for your compliment, sir." Miss Jiang said politely.

Then the two of them were silent, and the group of people fell into an awkward silence. Xiangyue saw this and took advantage of the opportunity to say, "Miss Jiang, no, Madam Wu, we'll go back first. See you at the hunting ground another day."

Miss Jiang glanced at the Xu family, gathered her hair by her ears with her hands, and said with a hint of awkwardness, "See you at the hunting ground."

After saying that, the people on both sides dispersed.

On the return carriage, Xiangyue changed from the cheerful and cheerful one when she came here to a somewhat silent one. Xiangyin was not talkative to begin with, and she sat quietly at this moment. Huanhuan recalled the last look Miss Jiang gave the Xu family members. How should I put it? She always felt that the look Miss Jiang gave her was a bit complicated.

Why? I didn't know her and had never seen her before, so why did I feel that Miss Jiang looked at me with a look that seemed to indicate she wanted to say something but was hesitant?

With the experience of Miss Lu before, Huanhuan had to think about Xu Qu this time. When her thoughts were flying, Xiangyue hesitated for a long time and finally spoke, "Sister-in-law, there is something I want to talk to you about."

"What's the matter?" Huanhuan seemed to be waiting for Xiangyue's explanation, and now it seemed like she finally got it.

"This Miss Jiang, a few years ago, proposed to my brother." Xiangyue hesitated.

It was indeed like this! Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, why don't you speak frankly?"

"It's nothing, actually. After my mother gave up on marrying a civil servant, she heard that General Jiang's family had a great-granddaughter of marriageable age who was still unmarried, so she asked someone to go to their house to propose marriage. At the beginning, both families were happy with the proposal and it went smoothly, but later on her family didn't agree. In short, the marriage didn't take place, but there was nothing else to it." Xiangyue said it all in one breath and felt much better.

"To be honest, I felt that Miss Jiang looked at me differently, and I was making wild guesses." He slowly took Xiangyue's hand and said, "After listening to your words, I feel more at ease."

"Yes, I'm also afraid that the incident with Miss Lu will happen again, so I think I should tell my sister-in-law." Xiangyue said sincerely, and at the same time put her hand on Huanhuan's hand.

Xiang Yin was confused when she heard about the matter of Miss Lu and Miss Jiang, but she was not a nosy person, so she was not curious about the reasons and just let it go.

This time, Xie Shen and Xu Qu's carriage was lively. Xie Shen had been talking to Xu Qu about various things since he got in the carriage.

The Miss Jiang he just met, or Madam Wu as he called her, has been a heroine since she was young. If she had not been born a girl, she would have already joined the battlefield and made great achievements.

What a brave general Miss Jiang’s great-grandfather, General Jiang, was. He fought in battles and made the enemy terrified.

Miss Jiang's husband, Mr. Wu, comes from a family of military officers for generations, and she has known him since childhood. He is a loyal and courageous young man.

It was also mentioned that Shopkeeper Sun’s wife had been in the Xie family for many years and was considered an old lady with great hard work and contributions. Shopkeeper Sun’s son was an apprentice in the Xie family’s shop…

Xie Shen knew all these people and things by heart, as if there was nothing in Shanghuai City that he, Xie Shen, didn't know.

Xu Qu just watched him talk quietly, occasionally looking sideways at the scenery outside the car window. Xie Shen was talking excitedly, not caring at all about Xu Qu's occasional distraction, and the two of them walked along the way in such a "tacit understanding".
