Chapter 303 Zheng Yan'er Returns to the Imperial City
Although there was the episode with the Buddha statue, it did not always affect the mood of the Jiang family.
In the next few days, we visited relatives and friends and celebrated the New Year, and everything was normal.
Shops in the imperial city opened one after another.
The tenth day of the first lunar month, west of the city.
Amid the enthusiastic sound of firecrackers, all shops in the west of the city, except Zhanxing Tower, began to open their doors to welcome customers.
Restaurants, inns, bookstores and music shops.
Cosmetics shop, clothing store, soup and pancake shop, jewelry store...
There are even all kinds of small stalls on the street, all gathered in one place.
The originally desolate and dilapidated west side of the city suddenly became bustling with people. Citizens all gathered there, almost shoulder to shoulder, having a great time shopping.
Jiang Suining was drinking tea with several merchants he had worked with before. Looking at the bustling streets outside, they were simply delighted.
"Miss Jiang, you are truly amazing. I never thought that in just a few months, the west of the city would be transformed into this by you!"
"That's right, we followed Miss Jiang and got a great bargain!"
Although their share is small, looking at the current situation, they will be able to recoup the money they paid out before in less than half a year, and the subsequent dividends will surely be considerable.
"Thank you for your praise, and I would also like to thank you for your help before." Jiang Suining held the teacup with a smile on his face.
"Miss Jiang, please don't say that. All of us together only have a few hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if we don't have this money, the Jiang family can still afford it. It's Miss Jiang who is kind-hearted and loyal, and is willing to take us to make a fortune together!"
"That's right, Miss Jiang. Don't worry. If you need us in the future, we will never refuse as long as you ask."
"Yes, Miss Jiang, just speak up!"
Several people knew very well in their hearts that Jiang Suining's previous proposal of cooperation was intended to attract other people's attention through them, but no matter what, they were taking advantage of it.
"Then I'd like to thank you in advance." Jiang Suining put down the teacup in his hand and thanked with a smile.
"Jiang Suining, I haven't seen you for a while, but you seem to be getting better at winning people's hearts."
As Jiang Suining finished speaking, a familiar sarcastic voice sounded.
Several people looked in the direction of the sound, and after a moment, a big red figure walked up the stairs.
After seeing who was coming, Jiang Suining couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Xier, who was standing behind her, exclaimed in surprise, "Cousin..."
Zheng Yan'er, who was wearing a bright red dress with gold peony pattern, slowly stopped, raised her red lips, and stared at Jiang Suining with eyes full of interest and hatred.
"We finally meet again."
When she left the imperial city before, she secretly made up her mind that she would come back sooner or later!
"I didn't expect Sister Yan'er would return to the imperial city." Jiang Suining suppressed his surprise and looked at Zheng Yan'er.
She was wearing an elegant bright red dress, even the embroidery on it was made of gold thread, she had exquisite make-up, and her hair was full of pearls and jade, especially the red jade hairpin slanted on her head, you could tell at a glance that it was very expensive.
However, what caught Jiang Suining's attention the most was Zheng Yaner's hair, which was the style that only women would wear in a bun.
"Are you married?" Jiang Suining asked.
"Yes." Zheng Yan'er walked forward slowly, "Not only are we married, but my husband is also very wealthy and dotes on me. Also, now that we have moved to the imperial city, Jiang Suining, we must meet often from now on."
Zheng Yaner's face was full of smiles, but there was a cold light in her eyes.
She remembered clearly what Jiang Suining and the Jiang family had done to her before. Now that she had come to the imperial city, she would pay them back one by one!
Meeting Zheng Yan'er's eyes, Jiang Suining understood and said, "It seems that you had someone send that broken Buddha statue to you."
"That's right. How about it? I chose this gift well, right? You know, that Buddha statue is very valuable. But since it's for you, I have to be generous. It's a pity that your Jiang family doesn't deserve a complete one. It's said that a broken Buddha statue is unlucky. It's just right for you."
Zheng Yan'er was very proud, and a sense of happiness was revealed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
After she finished speaking, she did not forget to stare at Jiang Suining, eager to see annoyance and anger on her face.
However, Jiang Suining just smiled leisurely.
"Thank you, cousin Yan'er. The jade Buddha statue is indeed very valuable. I'm sorry for your expense."
Not seeing the anger as imagined, Zheng Yan'er frowned quickly, and then spoke mockingly.
"Jiang Suining, stop pretending. When you see the broken Buddha statue, I'm afraid you will be furious. Why bother pretending here?"
Jiang Suining's expression did not change, and he even smiled. "It's a free gift delivered to your door, why would you be angry? And the quality of the jade is really good. I found a craftsman to cut and polish it again, and sold it as jade a few days ago, and made tens of thousands of taels of money."
The smile on Zheng Yan'er's face froze and she looked at Jiang Suining in disbelief.
"You actually sold it?"
"Yes, the broken Buddha statue is useless at home, so we just exchange it for silver. We also want to thank sister Yan'er for being so generous. We are really happy."
Jiang Suining was all smiles.
Zheng Yan'er's face darkened, she gritted her teeth and glared at Jiang Suining, she took several deep breaths secretly before she controlled her emotions and forced a smile again.
"Forget it. That little bit of money is nothing to me now. I'm too lazy to pick it up even if it falls on the ground. I'll just treat it as a reward for you. What's more..."
Zheng Yan'er curled her lips again and looked straight at Jiang Suining.
"My husband even opened a shop for me in the west of the city. You took great pains to make the west of the city so lively, but you didn't expect that you were actually preparing wedding clothes for me."
On the day when the west part of the city was completed, she stood in the dark and watched Jiang Suining being surrounded by people. Because there were still some things that had not been settled in Heyun Tower at that time, she couldn't help but appear in front of Jiang Suining and the others.
But now, the contract has been signed, everything is settled, and she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore!
"I have personally checked all those shops, and I have never heard of any shop owned by the surname Zheng." Jiang Suining thought for a moment and then said, "Oh, there is a Heyunlou, which was opened by a merchant who moved to the Imperial City not long ago. But if I remember correctly, the owner of Heyunlou is over fifty years old. Could it be..."
Jiang Suining looked puzzled, "He is your husband?"
Zheng Yan'er didn't expect Jiang Suining to guess it right away. When she heard her husband's age, she felt even more angry and hateful.
If it weren't for Jiang Suining and the others, she would still be staying in the imperial city. Naturally, there would be plenty of good husbands for her to choose from. How could she possibly marry an old man in his fifties!
All this was caused by them, and Jiang Suining actually had the nerve to laugh at him here!
Her heart was burning with rage, and when her anger was about to burst out, Zheng Yan'er forced herself to suppress it.
She must not get angry, otherwise she would play into Jiang Suining's hands!
She bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the stinging sensation calmed her down.
"I'm just saying hello today. Now that I'm back in the imperial city, whether it's you or the Jiang family..." Zheng Yan'er paused and sneered, "Jiang Suining, we'll see!"
