Chapter 541 Strike while the iron is hot

Gao Mu and Cangyun glared at Xiang Yang, "You have a good idea, do you want us to make a bet?"

"Let's bet. Our master is handsome and handsome. We both have mistresses. Nothing is impossible before the wedding." Xiang Yang said firmly.

"I bet that my lady will not stay with the emperor overnight. I bet one hundred taels of silver."

As soon as Gao Mu finished speaking, Cangyun also echoed: "Brother Gao and I have the same idea, bet one hundred taels of silver, and don't lie to the deputy commander if you lose."

"You guys underestimate me too much. I only have two hundred taels of silver. A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with. I don't have that much silver with me. I will settle the score tomorrow."

As Xiang Yang spoke, he subconsciously reached out and touched his waist. There was only a little bit of silver in the money bag, and he didn't know how long it had been there.

There was almost nothing he needed to spend money on on weekdays, and he had no idea how much money he had.

Xiang Song glanced at Xiang Yang as if he were a fool, "Stop looking for it, your money is all in the wooden box under the bed."

"Boss, you also place a bet. Trust my judgment. Master will definitely not return to the palace tonight."

Xiang Song rolled his eyes at Xiang Yang, "You are stupid and I am not stupid. I will not participate in the bet. I know that the master will definitely return to the palace."

Cangyun sat facing the garden.

Seeing the two figures under the wisteria tree stand up, he patted Gao Mu on the shoulder and said, "The young lady is going back to settle down. You are also going to go back to the house to accompany your wife."

In the garden, Xiao Jingzhao held Jiang Shuyue's hand and was reluctant to let go.

"Yue Niang, if you need my help with Su Jin's marriage, just ask. Master Huiyuan, can I ask him to choose an auspicious day in the twelfth lunar month of winter?"

"Well, it's up to you."

Jiang Shuyue felt sweet in her heart, probably that was the feeling of falling in love.

The two walked side by side to the corridor. Xiao Jingzhao stopped and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"You go back to the house and rest, I'll watch you go in."

Jiang Shuyue once again experienced the feeling of being taken seriously by others.

Under the corridor, Xiao Jingzhao watched the beautiful shadow go away with tender eyes, feeling as if he had eaten honey.

He made up his mind to order the clothing bureau to start preparing wedding clothes tomorrow.

He wants to give her a grand wedding.

In the pavilion, Xiang Yang stamped his feet anxiously when he saw that the two of them were not walking in the same direction.

"Hey! I tell you what to order, master. You have to strike while the iron is hot. This great opportunity has been wasted. What if Miss Ruojiang changes her mind tomorrow?"

Gao Mu and Cangyun suppressed their laughter and looked at Xiang Yangqian anxiously.

"Don't be nagging, the master is heading out. Follow him quickly." Xiang Song pulled Xiang Yang and walked quickly towards the hall.

In fact, Gao Mu and Cangyun didn't really have the money to bet with Xiang Yang later. This is something I won't mention for the time being.

Qiu Ju and Lan'er learned that the young lady had opened her heart to the emperor, and they were both happy for her from the bottom of their hearts.

Lan'er smiled and said, "I'll go tell Sister Meier and ask her to prepare two more dishes for dinner."

Seeing Lan'er running out with her skirt in hand, Qiu Ju turned to look at Jiang Shuyue.

There were tears of excitement in her eyes, "Miss, in fact, I have long hoped that you would accept the emperor's wishes. If Madam's spirit in heaven knew that you were going to honor your mother, I don't know how happy she would be."

"Silly girl, there is nothing to be happy about in this world. The most important thing is that he has to be sincere. If one day he breaks his promise and asks me to take a concubine, I will turn around and leave without hesitation."

"Miss, your Majesty won't do it. I believe you, slave. It is said that bystanders can see clearly."

Jiang Shuyue stroked Xueer's plush back and said, "I didn't take his words seriously from the beginning. In fact, after careful analysis, he has many advantages."

"There is a saying that goes like this: Cherish the people in front of you, treasure the good things you have encountered in life, and take them out to look at occasionally, which are also good memories."

"Miss, you can see clearly. I will go and tell Mr. Su and Mrs. Su the good news now."

Jiang Shuyue put down Xue'er and stood up, "No, let's go over and see how the preparations for the betrothal gift are going. I'll tell my aunt in person later."

After cleaning up, the master and the servant came to the Su Mansion. Mrs. Su did not show any surprise after hearing Jiang Shuyue's words.

She took Jiang Shuyue's hand and patted it gently, "Girl Yue, in fact, your uncle had expected such a result. You must know that the emperor has been training Sui Sui according to the standards of a prince from the beginning."

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "I know that Suisui's teacher is named Zhen Shuo, and he is Zhen Jingxiu's father, but now he is not given the title of Grand Master."

"If it weren't for the fact that the true Grand Master is older, the important responsibilities of the Grand Master would fall on him. There are too many chores in the Imperial College, and he would not be able to do all the work."

Mrs. Su was quite emotional when talking about the Zhen family. A noble family had its ups and downs, keeping a low profile and biding its time, but in the end, a wise king appreciated it.

"Yue'er, let go of your worries and cherish the person in front of you. I believe that Yue Lao will not mislead you. You two can still be together after many twists and turns. It is a marriage destined by God."

Mrs. Su was afraid that Jiang Shuyue would feel guilty for leaving, so she calmly enlightened her.

"Aunt, I understand."

Jiang Shuyue glanced at the hall and saw a few pieces of red silk on the Eight Immortals table in the hall, but no other items.

"Auntie, A Jin is not at home. Have you discussed with Mrs. Du how long it will take to send the betrothal gifts?"

At this time, Qiu Ju made a pot of mint tea with her own hands and came back. The maid waiting at the side quickly took it and poured two cups.

Mrs. Su took the tea cup and placed it in front of Jiang Shuyue, "We have discussed it. There is a custom in the capital where the elder brother is not at home and the younger brother welcomes the elder brother's wedding, but your uncle said this is inappropriate."

Jiang Shuyue was stunned for a moment, remembering that someone seemed to have done this.

Mrs. Su continued: "Su Nan is not right either. Mrs. Du said that the wedding ceremony will be held in Jiangzhou on the auspicious day for the couple. The bride will leave from the capital in advance. On the day of departure from Beijing, your uncle and I will go to the Du Mansion in person to see Yutong off. ”

"Of course, I have prepared the betrothal gifts. They are all in the warehouse and will be sent to the Du Mansion two days in advance."

Recalling the emperor's instructions, Jiang Shuyue said sincerely: "The emperor specifically said that if you need help in the palace, you can tell him."

"Yue'er would like to thank the emperor on behalf of my aunt. There is nothing I need help with."

"Should he send someone to escort the bride? Although the capital is peaceful now, there is no guarantee that there will be no robbers on the road."

Jiang Shuyue remembered the scene she met on the way back to the capital, and now she felt scared.

Mrs. Su thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Du knows that our family doesn't have many people, so she said she would arrange for Yutong's brother to send him off."

Jiang Shuyue thought about it in her heart and decided to let the emperor send someone to see her off more safely.

Time flies, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.

On this day, Su Huairen and his wife came to Du Mansion early.

In the boudoir, Du Yutong shed tears looking at the agate jadeite and a stack of banknotes in front of her.

"Sister, you have added so much jewelry, why are you using so many banknotes?"
