Fortunately, Shen Huanzhi's soul had not been completely thrown back to Jiangnan, and he had assigned a attendant to escort her home with the fabric that Xie Jingxi had picked out.

Roughly when Shen Huanzhi swallowed back the words that were stuck in the tip of his tongue, something scattered along with it. Xie Jingxi's initial sway was once again set on returning to her original position, she was, after all, a lifetime away from Shen Huanzhi.

"Lady Xie, the capital is really big. Don't tell me these people won't be lost?"

Following Xie Jingxi, the attendant felt extremely fresh in the capital. Xie Jingxi said: "When you're familiar with it, naturally you won't lose it, and when I first came here, I was also unconscious. Can you go back by yourself?"

"Lady Xie, don't worry. I know how to recognize the road the most. If I really can't do it, I'll still have a mouth to ask. Don't worry about me."

Yeah, if you have a mouth to ask, Shen Huanzhi … Forget it, Xie Jingxi could not help but laugh, there was no need to force anything.

"Lady Xie, is this a bookstore? It looks more like a teahouse."

Xie Jingxi's train of thoughts was interrupted by the attendant, following his line of sight, they met a familiar face, it was the Fang family's Second Young Master, Fang Ziqing. Fang Ziqing had obviously seen her and was startled for a moment, but he still walked towards her and cupped his hands to greet his: "Thank you, Miss."

"Young Master Fang."

Xie Jingxi was not very familiar with him, she had only greeted him a few times, but because of the two of them being engaged, they were always a little awkward. It was not that Fang Ziqing was embarrassed, but she, Xie Jingxi, was embarrassed.

Although it was only at the level of the consent of the elders, in the end, news about Fourth Brother had spread. Minister Fang was wise and protective, and after the incident, he handed over a paper roll to the elders, which was considered as having saved some face, the Fang family was currently relying on Fang Ziqing alone to support them, at the most critical moment, they did not even mention about the marriage, and did not hold anything back.

"Thank you for saving my sister's life when I fell into the water. I have always been grateful, but I didn't get the chance to thank you in person." On the other hand, Fang Ziqing did not seem to be much of a threat, "I'm not very sensible, if there's anything wrong, I hope that you can forgive me."

Since she said it like that, Xie Jingxi naturally could not be bothered, but towards Fang Wanqing, she could not say any good words, "Young Master Fang, there is no need to be courteous. At that time, no one can just stand by and watch."

"This lady is very righteous. If there's anything that can help me in the future, feel free to speak up. I'm not trying to show you my kindness, but I truly want to make you my friend. Do you have any feelings for me?"

Xie Jingxi was a little surprised, but Fang Ziqing was actually a little interesting, "Young Noble is too polite, friends naturally make things difficult, you are someone who has to build your career in Imperial Court, I am just a woman in a secret chamber, to say that I do not have the heart to such words, it is unforgivable that I have lost my sincerity, this is not what friends see."

Fang Ziqing cupped his hands, "It's my fault."

Xie Jingxi did not say much, and only nodded her head to indicate that it was over. Today, Xie Jingxi's heart was in a mess, but she didn't want to meet Fang Ziqing again.

As for Gu Heng, who stayed in Tianjin for a few days, and also returned to the Marquis Anfeng Palace today, he returned to his room through the small door as usual, and while walking, he listened to Zhao Zhang's replies.

The three ladies of the Xie Family saw Shen Huanzhi alone for almost an hour before they left." Zhao Zhang stole a glance at Gu Yun's expression, and said, "Shen Huanzhi does business with silk and fabric, it seems like this is his first time in the capital. The people under his command have some talent, and they have signed a few orders, but they're still a level behind us.

"It's common for silk and fabric to be sold in the south. He only has a bit of courage to travel from Yuhang to the capital, but he lacks experience."

Gu Yun acted as if he did not hear the first half of the sentence, he took off his jacket and washed his hands, causing Zhao Zhang to not understand what was going on. However, the matter of Shen Huanzhi and Xie Family being acquainted still surprised him.

"Send someone to get in touch with him, but don't show yourself, and don't sign the order for now. If I'm not wrong, they don't have many good stuff at this time, it should be done by next spring."

"Master, you want to sign the contract with them?"

"What is it? "No way."

Gu Yun cast a sidelong glance at Zhao Zhang, "You've traveled far and wide for nothing, the things in their hands are hard to bear in the capital, but they have good prospects, and Shen Huanzhi himself will inevitably come into contact with them from now on."

Why did he suddenly become interested in Shen Huanzhi? In his eyes, he was no different from a normal small businessman, there were so many Jiang Nan merchants that came to the capital normally, but he had never asked anyone about it, could it be … Zhao Zhang smacked his forehead. Was it for Xie Family?

Shen Huanzhi's business knowledge was not that good, but the items from the Shen Family were not bad. The cloth that Xie Jingxi brought back, were all made into ordinary clothes, and the women in the family all got some, and then sent people to the Lu Family and Marquis Anfeng Palace to give some, after that she chose a more stable color and made a set of clothes.

"Miss, the materials over there are still quite comfortable." Ming Yu got a new set of clothes, and smirked for a long time, "The big miss sent someone to bring a pair of earrings for the Pearl of Corals, saying that it's to thank the miss for the cloth and clothes.

However, her skills are shallow, and after learning a few times from Auntie Xue, she was unable to do anything. She had to tear apart and cut the clothes, but she did not improve, "It's not easy for Big Sis in Lu Family, her family is huge, and there are a few wives and Old Madem s on her side. She also has a lot of sister-in-law in her generation, and now that the authority of the butler is not in her hands, I have to look at people's expressions and live a few days, so it's not really good for me to go."

"There's a lot of stuff going on in the capital, but it's not like there's any peace here. It's better for us to stay in a small place like this, where we can be free and unfettered."

"Or find you a husband in Jiangnan? so that you won't starve and freeze in the capital. "

Xie Jingxi was just teasing her, but instead, Ming Yu said with a serious face, "Sigh, young lady, why don't we just go back with Old Madem. If the young lady finds one in the south, then I'll just follow along and get married."

Xie Jingxi's hand paused, "I'm afraid that if we want to go back now, our family will not let us go."

This was true, since the Prince Jin's Wife had visited the Xie Clan, the direction of the wind had changed. Although no one revealed what the Prince Jin's Wife was doing here, there were always those clear-cut people who could tell. What could a Prince Jin's Wife woman do by paying a personal visit to express her goodwill with the Xie Clan? The Xie Clan was worth it for her to express her goodwill with, in the end, they were not friends with Madam Xie. Moreover, not everyone would care about the Prince Jin's Wife.

If one were to speak of Elder Official Xie, there was a slight possibility, but if it was too conspicuous, a smart person would not be able to do such a thing. If so, there was only one possibility, and that was to act towards his elder brother and sister. No matter which one it was for, the remaining few children of the Xie Family couldn't help but be examined once again. Honestly speaking, the dragon and phoenix children of the Xie Family were all at the age of a kiss. With their current position in the Elder Official Xie, there were many who rushed to curry favor with them, but whether or not they could curry favor with them was already up to the question.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth of the eighth month. The palace usually paid special attention to the feast, and it was more lively than New Year's Eve. On this day, all the families were invited to the palace, and the Lady Xu s of the Qin were given a title.

Due to the presence of the Old Madem, the Lady Xu seemed especially concerned. She had prepared a lot of clothes and accessories for the six young ladies of the Third Miss.

Every day, she would come to Jiang Xuanxuan to ask for his help and give him all sorts of decorations. Although Xie Jingxi had given up on her a few times, she was still not as indifferent to her as she was before. It was just that she did not wear any of the jewelry in the room normally, and they were all left idle as well.

"We were born to be prettier than our sisters at home. When we dress up like this, we're truly goddesses."

Xie Jingxi had intentionally put on the set of clothes that Shen Huanzhi had brought for her, and added a cape to keep it warm outside. She didn't feel like a fairy at all, but her head was actually heavy and her feet were light.

The old lady glanced at it and said, "We are the prettiest in the world. Wearing these kind of oppressive items would be a burden. A good girl's neck would be bent."

Xie Jingxi agreed with the Old Granny's words. A young lady in her teens being naive was naturally not bad, wearing such a heavy headband made her look too dignified and dignified. Although the people of the capital pursued this, it was still inappropriate.

This was one of the differences between the Lady Xu and them. The old lady's argument could not help but be despised by her in her heart, which girl was not dignified and steady, comparable to those other young ladies in the countryside? Fortunately, the Third Sister was not spoiled by her, or else she would not be able to do anything about it.

Xie Jingxi was not the only one who was sad. Old Madem being dressed up like this was not something she was used to, the last time she was dressed like this was when she was married and had nothing to do for her whole life. However, since she was the heavy one today, it was not good for her to be negligent. Not only did she enter the palace, she was also held back by the Prince Jin's Wife, so they greeted her.

I have long heard of the Old Madem's great name, and have never had the chance to meet her. Looking at her today, she is truly extraordinary, not to mention someone like the Elder Official Xie, even from looking at the scenery, I know that the Old Madem is not an ordinary person.

Xie Jingxi originally followed Old Madem, but when she saw him, she intentionally hid to the side, not expecting to be called out, "Jingwan greets Prince Jin's Wife."

"You look completely different now that you're dressed like this. I didn't notice it at first glance. Eh? The clothes you're wearing are quite unique. Come here and let me take a look."
