Chapter 81 The girl's idle chat raises suspicion
If Jiang Shiyuan said he was unhappy, that would be a lie.

So he took it and bowed to Mrs. Pei.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Okay, go ahead, don't delay on the way."

"Yes, then Ah Nian will take his leave first."

Mrs. Pei nodded, and waited until Jiang Shiyuan walked away before returning to the inner room. When she heard her sister-in-law say that she wanted to go to Lanyue Tower to watch the event, she smiled but did not refute.

Jiang Shiyuan held the letter in her hand, looking calm on the surface, but she was still a little excited in her heart. She had always lived in her maternal grandparents' home before, and what she looked forward to most was the letters from Xuzhou.

But after all these years, the most substantial letter I have received is this one in front of me.

Therefore, after getting on the carriage, she couldn't wait to open the letter and read it. Her maid Liuhua advised her to be careful when she saw it, but Jiang Shiyuan didn't care and just opened the letter and read it carefully.

It can be said that Pei Zisu was also a heroic figure.

He was very efficient and effective in killing people on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that he would be so long-winded and talkative when writing letters home.

He first reported that he was safe, and then talked about the details. From the day he left, he wrote down on paper everything he saw, heard, felt and thought. The thick stack of papers was not only the trivialities of daily life, but also a magic weapon that made Jiang Shiyuan feel at ease.

She read it word by word, and from time to time she would chuckle, frown, feel relieved, and be curious. Liuhua and Luluo had never seen their girl like this before, so they both laughed secretly.

The girl hasn't even gotten married yet, but she already has such a good relationship with her husband-in-law. Who knows how sweet their relationship will be when they get married.

The carriage rumbled along, and soon arrived at the gate of the Jiang family.

Jiang Shiyuan did not enter the house because a carriage had already been parked at the door, with his father Jiang Huaishan and the third daughter Jiang Shishu sitting inside. However, what surprised Jiang Shiyuan was that his father had also brought his fourth sister and concubine Yang.

The two girls were tactful and immediately got off the car and got on Jiang Shiyuan's car. Seeing the rare joy on her third sister's face, she probably knew that the relationship between her father and Aunt Yang had warmed up again.

So he said something jokingly.

"It's rare to see Aunt Yang go out."

"My aunt didn't want to come at first, but my father said that he would take her to the embroidery workshop to see the latest fashions. Since it was for my elder sister's wedding dress, it was natural that she should take care of it. So my aunt agreed to go out."

Jiang Shishu explained, but Jiang Shiyue on the side disagreed.

"Aunt Yang is too cautious, but my aunt is the same. If she hadn't gone out with my mother a few days ago, I would have thought she would never step out of the house again in her life."

"Oh? Aunt Hai is out too?"

"Well, he said he accompanied his mother to Guanghua Temple to burn incense. Maybe he was blown by the mountain wind for too long, and he got sick when he came back. He has been taking medicine these days."

When Jiang Shiyuan heard this, he became confused.

In her opinion, Second Aunt Zhang is the type who never comes to see someone unless there is something important. Why did she suddenly invite Aunt Hai out so kindly? Seeing that she showed some confusion, Jiang Shiyue was afraid of misunderstanding and even explained. "I asked Aunt Zhang, and she said she wanted to go. Maybe her second brother's job was promising, so she went to ask for the Buddha's blessing."

Jiang Shiyue knew her aunt's cowardice much better than Jiang Shiyuan and Jiang Shishu, so she never thought that her aunt would lie. So after she had this preconceived idea, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Jiang Shiyuan listened to her explanation but didn't ask any more questions. This thought just crossed his mind, and then he heard the bustling sounds outside.

Jiang Shishu behaved relatively calmly, but Jiang Shiyue happily lifted the curtain to look outside. Seeing her little girl's behavior, Jiang Shiyuan slightly raised the corner of his mouth, then closed his eyes and rested while fanning himself.

There is a grand event at Lanyue Tower today.

Everyone in the entire Xijing city knew about it.

So the Jiang family's carriage arrived early, but there was still a lot of people in front of it. The sisters had never seen such a scene before, so they were unusually excited. They all wanted to quickly go up to the private room in Lanyue Tower to see what was outside.

Lanyue Tower was obviously quite experienced in handling this matter, and they specially found a dozen guys to block a path to prevent the common people from bumping into passers-by. So after getting off the carriage, the Jiang family members quickly walked into Lanyue Tower.

Aunt Yang kept her head down, wishing she could shrink into the ground. Jiang Shiyuan and Jiang Shishu were fine, walking normally. But Jiang Shiyue looked around as if he had seen something rare, and asked a few questions from time to time.

"Big sister, what is this?"

As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Shiyue was attracted by the giant wooden board hanging from the interlude on the third floor of Lanyue Tower. There was a red silk hanging on it, but other than that, there was nothing written on it. She had never seen it before, so she was naturally curious.

"This is for students taking the exam to place bets on. People jokingly call it the top scorer list. It's still early now. When September comes and students arrive one after another, names will be added to the board. Some are already famous in various places, and some have caught the attention of nobles at poetry gatherings. In short, if you can make it to the list here, you will most likely be on the list posted by the Imperial Examination Hall."

"so smart?"

Jiang Shiyue spoke in surprise, but compared to her, Jiang Shishu was relatively calm, but the handkerchief twirling in her hand still slightly betrayed her nervousness.

After all, her father had said that her future husband would most likely be chosen from this year's new students, so her curiosity about her future husband was no less than Jiang Shiyue's.

Everyone went up the stairs to the second floor.

The private rooms on the third floor naturally have a better view and are more spacious, but Jiang Huaishan could not reserve one because those rooms are exclusively provided to the marquisates and dukes’ mansions in Xijing City. What’s more, some of the private rooms are not open to the public at all and have been booked by the aristocratic families all year round.

However, this was only what Jiang Shiyuan knew. To Aunt Yang, who had never been to Lanyue Tower, the private room on the second floor where Jiang Shishu and Jiang Shiyue lived was already very good.

“It’s really beautiful here.”

Jiang Shiyue sighed, and she couldn't say much else. After all, she had seen the bottles, cups, tables and chairs, but she couldn't tell what they were made of or where they came from, so there was no nonsense like waving a sword in front of Guan Gong.

Jiang Shiyuan walked to the inner window and took a look. This was a good view point, so he smiled and said to Jiang Huaishan.

"Dad, thank you for your trouble. This position is not cheap."

"It's worth any money to give you a wonderful show."

Aunt Yang and Jiang Shishu both understood that they were lucky and were grateful. Jiang Shiyue secretly vowed that she would learn well from her aunt, and when she had money in the future, she would also book a private room in Lanyue Tower!
