Xia Xiaodong and Mrs.
Yuan worked hard for several days, going over many details in all aspects, and finally came up with the improvement plan for the crepe yarn.
Madam Yuan didn't waste a day and left on the same day.
I thought I could live a leisurely life for a while, but I didn't expect that just a few times after eating crabs under the chrysanthemums and looking at Nanshan, Lu Yunzhi brought an invitation from the Jiang family.
"Jiang Yizhen invites everyone to come over and enjoy the begonias."
Lu Yunzhi explained: "Do you still remember who Jiang Yizhen is?"
Well, although I had only heard this name once, Xia Xiaodong had some impressions: "She must be the eldest granddaughter of Chief Jiang, the one the Ninth Prince proposed to marry in public."
"Yeah," Lu Yunzhi nodded repeatedly: "You finally know some noble girls in the capital.
Now that sister Yizhen is preparing to get married, it is not convenient to go out, so she invites some sisters she likes to go over."
After a girl is engaged, if she goes out to show her face, she will inevitably be criticized on her character.
There may even be aunts and uncles who talk to her about her for a long time, which is really inconvenient.
"By the way," Xia Xiaodong thought of a question: "Shouldn't the emperor appoint the princes' marriage?
Why did the ninth prince actually propose to marry him?"
It's romantic, but the style of painting is wrong.
"It is natural for the emperor to propose marriage," Lu Yunzhi explained to Xia Xiaodong: "But when Emperor Wenzong was the prince, he was accused of marrying Lu, who later became Queen Xiaowu.
Because Lu was fierce and jealous , but the Lu family was powerful and could not abolish the throne, so Emperor Wenzong was very unhappy, so he let the princes choose their own marriages, and he gradually followed suit. " "Generally, princes have a candidate and inform the emperor of the marriage.
Like the Ninth Prince.
It's a little out of line, but it's not a big mistake."
Naturally, Xia Xiaodong didn't know who Wenzong was, but it sounded like he should be a certain emperor's ancestor.
Anyway, he just knew about this kind of thing, so there was no need to go into details.
"I won't go and reward this begonia."
Speaking of the Jiang Mansion's invitation, Xia Xiaodong didn't really want to go: "I don't know Jiang Yizhen at all.
I didn't feel comfortable in the past.
Sister Yunzhi can go by herself."
"No, no, no."
Lu Yunzhi said no: "Sister Yizhen specifically asked the person who posted the message to send me a message, and I must advise you to go with her.
She gave you a message specifically."
Xia Xiaodong hesitated.
Not going seemed to be a loss of face.
"Did you tell me why you want me to go?"
Xia Xiaodong asked.
"I have something to tell you."
Lu Yunzhi did not hide anything, and added: "Actually, it's not just you.
Nowadays, there are beautiful ladies in many families.
This time, sister Yizhen invited many beautiful ladies to go with her.
Don't let me go.
All the beautiful girls are rushing to go there, and there are rumors among the people that they are going to choose some concubines for the Ninth Prince."
Seeing Xia Xiaodong's expression change after hearing this, Lu Yunzhi quickly comforted him: "It must have nothing to do with you.
Otherwise, with the relationship between sister Yizhen and me, she would never not say hello."
That's okay.
Xia Xiaodong thought about it and agreed.
The residence of the first assistant, Jiang Fengshi, is not far from the palace city.
Its shape is similar to that of the royal palace.
It is a huge mansion.
Xia Xiaodong and Lu Yunzhi passed by the door in a car and saw a very orderly line of officials.

Go straight from the door to the street.
Lu Yunzhi smiled and said: "These are probably the officials who came to see the Chief Assistant.
I heard that there are many rules."
Xia Xiaodong looked around and said with a smile: "What are the rules?
At most, no one is allowed in."
"There."
Lu Yunzhi disagreed: "Do you think anyone can come and stand guard in front of Lord Chief Assistant's residence?
Those below the fifth rank cannot even come and wait.
In fact, most of the people queuing up are just here to ask for permission.
With such a posture, most of them won’t be able to see Mr.
Chief Assistant until night.”
"There was an interesting story before, saying that there was an official who came to see him every day.
He gradually became familiar with the concierge," Lu Yunzhi knew a lot about these stories.
Take the time to spread the word to Xia Xiaodong: "Later, he was entrusted with important tasks."
"What important responsibility?"
When Xia Xiaodong heard the word "important responsibility" that was specially emphasized, Xia Xiaodong naturally knew that he should ask this at this time.
"Haha, let him help maintain order."
Lu Yunzhi said and laughed: "Don't tell me, this guy is really capable.
It is said that he came up with the way to queue up now.
You see, lining up in a single line like this, Doesn’t it look better than being surrounded by a bunch of people, and it doesn’t affect the traffic here?
More importantly, every time the Chief Assistant comes in and out, everyone can see him in the sedan, isn’t it fair?”
"Later on, that person probably got promoted."
"Well, it is said that he quickly rose to two extremes, and later became a direct lineage of the chief assistant, and was placed among the imperial censors."
This person can not only put down his shame and make friends, but also has some talents in doing practical things, so he can be regarded as a talent.
While they were talking and laughing, the car had already circled the front of the mansion and stopped on the west side.
Someone was there to pick it up, and they changed into a sedan and headed to Haitang Garden.
The Begonia Garden in the first assistant's house is indeed worthy of its name.
It is planted with various kinds of begonias, with many colors of yellow, purple, pink, white and red.
After careful ripening, they all bloom at this time.
If you look closely, you can see that there are many flower shapes such as single wings, golden pillars, and big bracts.
The placement was also carefully thought out, supplemented by rockery and running water, which gives it a certain artistic conception.
Xia Xiaodong didn't expect that she actually spent a long time admiring the begonia flowers.
It wasn't until Lu Yunzhi became impatient and came over to urge her that she remembered that usually ladies talking about flower viewing were just excuses and they should go to Jiang Yizhen's place.
Sit down is the right thing to do.
I don’t know whether it is the unique layout of the house or a deliberate arrangement.
Haitang Garden is actually in the southwest corner of the whole mansion.
It is not far from the west door, but from here to the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard, there are still many obstacles.
There is quite a distance.
Fortunately, the owner was thoughtful and prepared a lot of sliding poles.
If you don't want to walk over by yourself, you can ask the ladies to carry it.
Lu Yunzhi was always spoiled and could not walk for a long time.
After walking in Haitang Garden for a while, she felt tired and wanted to sit on the sliding pole.
However, Xia Xiaodong felt that the autumn air was crisp and refreshing, and since he had arrived at the first assistant's residence, he should take a stroll and take in the scenery.
In the end, the two of them went their separate ways.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of people traveling the same way, whether riding the pole or walking.

Lu Yunzhi was quickly greeted by another girl and walked together, while Xia Xiaodong didn't go far before he met Miss Qin Si.
Miss Qin Si's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Xiaodong, she rushed over excitedly, took Xia Xiaodong's hand, and laughed continuously: "Sister Xiaodong is here too, it's great.
I was about to go to Jupu, who?
Both of them are too tired to go.
Sister, please go with me."
"Okay," this idea suited Xia Xiaodong's thoughts.
After looking at Haitang Garden, he could imagine that the chrysanthemum garden here should also be extraordinary.
Xia Xiaodong prefers to enjoy flowers than chatting with a group of ladies.
The jieyu flower is not as good as the chrysanthemum.
Later, Xia Xiaodong realized that he was wrong
