Chapter 119 Aunt Jiang and her family go to Xijing
Jiang Shiyuan is different, she has plenty of private property.

He had never been in a tight spot for money, so he hadn't thought about this for a moment, and then he said something to Liuhua beside him.

"Go and get two hundred taels of silver."

"Yes, girl."

Jiang Shishu was still wondering why the elder sister suddenly asked the maid to get the silver bill. When the silver bill was placed in front of him, he looked over in shock.

"What do you mean, big sister?"

"I am so careless that I forgot that you and Auntie are both living on a monthly allowance, so you are powerless in many things. You can use this money first. If you find it is not enough, come and tell me."

Jiang Shiyuan's "generous move" made Jiang Shishu anxious all of a sudden, and he hurriedly explained.

"Don't get me wrong, big sister. I don't want to make new clothes because I don't think it's necessary. Anyway, I entered the palace by chance, and I may not really catch the eyes of the nobles, so I planned this way. The last time I came back from the princess's mansion, the princess rewarded me with a hundred taels of silver. These days, I went to various mansions to help the young ladies with needlework, and I also received dozens of taels of silver. My aunt and I usually eat, wear, live and travel in the mansion, so we have no place to spend money. We can't spend all that, let alone this. Big sister, please take it back, I can't accept it."

Jiang Shishu's words did not mean to be half-hearted, but she truly did not want to trouble her elder sister. Jiang Shiyuan could hear the sincerity in her words, so he said it with a smile.

"You also said that those were the silver coins you earned with your own ability. It's the same with me. Embroidering wedding gowns is such a tiring job. You and Aunt Yang have been doing it for several months. How can I just sit there and endure it? Please accept this money. Just consider it a small token of my appreciation."

Jiang Shishu has never been so determined.

"If you want to say that, my aunt and I are really ashamed. You have helped us so much, but we have no ability to repay you. The wedding dress is the only thing we can do. If you want to do this, it will hurt the relationship between us sisters. So please take it back, I really can't accept it."

Jiang Shiyuan looked at her expression and actions and didn't know what to say, but he had other ideas in his mind. Money will eventually run out, so it is safest to establish a business that can make money in the long run.

The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching. If the third sister can get a few words of praise from the Empress Dowager, then everything will be much easier. However, these are all later stories. If they are said now, it may cause some unnecessary trouble, so she did not mention it again.

"Okay, then if you need money, don't forget to tell me."

"Don't worry, big sister. You won't need it."

The two sisters smiled at each other and changed the topic. After two days of such peaceful days, the Jiang family welcomed a happy event.

My aunt and her family, whom I had been waiting for for a long time, finally arrived.

This time, not only did his aunt and uncle come to Beijing, but they also brought their only son with them. Jiang Shiyuan hadn't seen this cousin for many years, so he didn't have a deep impression of him.

At the gate of Jiang's house, Jiang Huaishan was waiting there early.

As soon as Aunt Jiang Huaiyi got off the carriage, she saw her brother waiting at the door. She was so happy that a few faint lines appeared on her face. Then her husband He Dafu and only son He Yuankang got off with her. The father and son looked like they were cast in the same mold, the only difference was their age.

Therefore, one is full of vigor and vitality, while the other is steady and calm.

When they saw Jiang Huaishan, they stepped forward and bowed.

"Hello, big brother." "Hello, uncle."

Jiang Huaiyi has a much closer relationship with his brother Jiang Huaishan than with his son, so he said with a smile.

"Why are you waiting here, brother?"

"I'm looking forward to your coming. I sent someone to the city gate early in the morning to wait for you. I'll come back to report when I see your carriage. I'm idle inside anyway, so I came out to wait and see. I can see you earlier. How is it? Did you have a safe journey here?"

"It's fine, but I brought too many things, so it can't be done quickly. But if I can get home before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can have a good meal with my family."

Jiang Huaiyi explained, Jiang Huaishan touched his beard with a smile on his face, it's not that he was eager for the things his sister and brother-in-law brought, it's just that a few days ago, a relative from the Zhang family came, and with them as a comparison, his sister's family's behavior now really made him upset.

"Come on, go in first. Mother has been waiting for you for a long time, and she often asks the maid to come out and ask where you are."

Jiang Huaiyi also missed Old Madam Jiang, so he quickly followed her into the room.

As for the things brought by the He family, they were also moved off the carriage and into the Jiang family. More than a dozen large boxes were really heavy, but the servants of the Jiang family had a lot of fun moving them because they all knew that their master was pregnant and they would most likely receive rewards, so they didn't feel tired at all.

After entering the mansion, the three of them soon arrived at the front hall under the personal guidance of Jiang Huaishan.

Everyone in the mansion was waiting at home, including Old Madam Jiang, who had been seriously ill. She had loved her daughter very much since she was a child, but they had seldom had the chance to get together after she married and moved to Jingzhou, so she cherished every opportunity they met.

Perhaps her anticipation affected everyone, so other people in the mansion also looked outside from time to time until someone came in and called out.

"The master is here, the third aunt is here, the third uncle is here, and the cousin is here."

These words made Old Madam Jiang very happy. She grabbed Jiang Shiyue's hand and quickly got up. Then she stood up and was about to meet her daughter's family. However, she had not taken a few steps when Jiang Huaiyi walked in.

When he saw Old Madam Jiang, he knelt down with a thud, his eyes red, and spoke in a crying voice.

"I am an unfilial daughter. I have not been able to serve my mother for so many years. Are you tired of me?"

Her words successfully made Old Madam Jiang cry, and tears fell down her face. This time she cried so sincerely that even Jiang Shiyuan was moved, let alone others.

Jiang Huaishan also wiped the corners of his eyes. As his brother-in-law and nephew were there, he couldn't cry and could only hold it in.

If there was anyone who was excited about the arrival of Jiang Huaiyi's family of three, it was Jiang Shiyue who was supporting Old Madam Jiang. After waiting for so many days, the savior finally came. However, what Jiang Shiyue did not expect was that the cousin who was as fat as a pig's head before was not only much stronger, but also more handsome.

If he had not come in with his aunt and uncle to pay their respects, he would have probably not recognized them. So his eyes bulged and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

Why are you still looking for a husband? Isn't the one in front of you the most suitable one?

She looked shyly at her cousin He Yuankang, but unfortunately his eyes were fixed on Jiang Shiyuan, revealing a lot of surprise.
