Not long later, the personal servant girl, Cai Qing, came over with two teacups and a plate of dim sum.

Zhao Su Niang blushed again and said, "I can only treat Fourth Young Miss to some coarse tea."

Jiang Wan smiled indifferently, lifting the teapot's lid. The large area of tea that had just been brewed was still dancing about in the teacup, and there were still quite a few bubbles floating on the surface of the water.

Jiang Wan raised her brows, she didn't expect the Qin to give Zhao Siniang this kind of tea that not even the servants in the family knew how to drink.

She dabbed at the water with the tea cap, then took a sip. The astringent taste filled her tongue.

"If Father came to drink this tea?" Jiang Wan gently put down the teacup in her hand and asked with a bit of curiosity.

"If old master comes over, Miss Peony will send me a few pieces of Da Hong Pao in advance." Zhao Su Niang smiled bitterly, "I happen to be able to get one or two cups of that each time."

This was really going too far!

She pushed the plate of snacks in front of Jiang Wan and said, "Eat this. This is the Apricot Soup that I bought for Cai Qing a few days ago."

It was said that someone in the family had access to the imperial kitchens of the palace, so their cakes were always following the pattern of the palace, but their prices were still twenty to twenty percent higher than those of other shops.

Looking at Jiang Wan, who found it hard to conceal her astonishment, Zhao Siniang covered her sleeves and laughed, "Isn't this the New Year? Buying the Treasure Peace Fest is just like a reward to yourself."

Jiang Wan also smiled as she picked up an apricot cake. Just as she was about to eat it, she noticed Sheng'er sitting at the side, swallowing his saliva, but not taking the apricot cake in his plate.

Jiang Wanqi said, "Brother Sheng isn't going to eat?"

"Mom said I have to finish memorizing the book before I can eat." Brother Sheng's face was taut as he spoke in all seriousness.

You can only eat after memorizing the book?

Jiang Wan looked at the book in Brother Sheng's hands and asked, "Brother Sheng, can you read it?"

"Understood!" Brother Sheng nodded seriously, "Mother told me everything."

Jiang Wan was astonished once again when she thought of the Qin family who could not even read a basket of words.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Su Niang's face darkened and she said rather sorrowfully, "My father is also an accomplished scholar. He was once at the village's study hall, and us siblings studied with him, so we didn't have to worry about food and clothing. If the flood wasn't so fierce that year, we wouldn't have lost our families. "

"What is it? You have a brother? " Jiang Wan asked while eating the Apricot Blossom.

"Mm." Zhao Su nodded, "It was also because of that flood that caused him to disappear. Even now, there's still no news of him. I don't know if he's alive or dead."

After hearing this, Jiang Wan couldn't help but sigh: Sometimes, unexpected things could completely change a person's life.

In this world, once a woman lost her staff, she would become a rootless duckweed that flowed with the waves, allowing others to trample on her.

Being able to meet Jiang Chuanzhong in a difficult situation could be a great blessing in the midst of her misfortune.

Jiang Wan sat at Zhao Su Niang's place for a while longer before rising and taking her leave. Zhao Su Niang sent her out of Jun Ya Hall and told Jiang Wan to come back when she was free.

Jiang Wan smiled as she agreed.

Having interacted with them for the past half day, Jiang Wan discovered that Zhao Sanniang didn't avoid them out of fear of the Qin, but rather, she felt from the bottom of her heart that there was no need to compare herself with a person like the Qin.

Because the Qin had gone to Cat's Ear Lane for a feast, the kitchen was relatively much more relaxed. No one would have thought that Mrs. Wang would actually bring Jiang Wan a large table full of dishes.

Jiang Wan left two dishes for herself, then chose a bowl of steamed yellow fish and a plate of shrimp mushroom dumplings, instructing Jasmine to send them over to Zhao Sanniang and Brother Sheng, and gave the rest to Clove, Jasmine and Mama Han.

After eating lunch, the sleepy Jiang Wan dismissed her mother and the others and yawned as she climbed onto the bed. However, just as she was about to fall asleep, she slightly opened her eyes and used the corner of her eyes to scan for a white figure by the bedside.

Is there a ghost?

Jiang Wan hugged her blanket and suddenly sat up in shock. She, who was drenched in cold sweat from fright, was completely awake.

When Jiang Wan regained her courage and looked at the white silhouette again, she saw the jade figure of Xiao Rui Xuan wearing a tea-white dress and looking at her with a smile on his face.

"You scared me to death!" Jiang WanShun, who was rather frightened, used his hands to grab the embroidered pillow and threw it towards Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui stretched out her hand to catch the pillow that Jiang Wan threw at her. With a smile, she said: "You even have the strength to smash someone. It looks like you're all safe now."

Jiang Wan glared at Xiao Rui, but realized that it was still daytime. She couldn't help but turn pale with fright, "How can you come here at this time? Are you not afraid of being discovered? "

After saying that, she walked out of the bed in her shoes, intending to chase Xiao Rui away.

"And so willful." Xiao Rui smiled as she shook her head. She bent down to pick up the quilt from Jiang Wan's bed. Pet. She dotingly draped it over Jiang Wan's body, "I don't know how to take care of myself at all. Wearing so little, I'll see what you do when I freeze again."

Xiao Rui wrapped the quilt tightly around Jiang Wan's body, and then carried her to the bed rack.

Being hugged like that by the man she liked, Jiang Wan's heart started to beat wildly, especially when Xiao Rui's manly breath landed on her rosy face, she was so embarrassed that she lowered her head.

"What is it? Shy? " Xiao Rui looked at the little girl in his arms, teasing her in a good mood.

"Let me go!" Jiang Wan kept using her eyes to look at the door, afraid that her mother or Lilac would barge in untactfully.

Although she believed that even if Mama Han saw something, she wouldn't go out and say it out loud, it wasn't good to be caught in a girl's room with an unfamiliar man.

However, Xiao Rui laughed softly, and her chest rose and fell along with him.

"Little fool!" Xiao Rui intimately kissed Jiang Wan on the forehead, but Jiang Wan froze.

He … Just now, he … Kiss me?

Seeing the little girl in her arms staring at her with a face full of disbelief, Xiao Rui couldn't help but kiss Jiang Wan on her little nose again.

This time, Jiang Wan was thoroughly enraged.

What did this Xiao Rui mean? How could he be so frivolous towards himself?

"Greetings, Xiao Rui!" Jiang Wan shouted in anger, "You …"

Before he could finish, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of attracting Mama Han and the others?"

When Jiang Wan heard this, she was so scared that she hurriedly quivered, as if she was truly afraid of recruiting her mother.
