Chapter 33 Good Wind Day

Jiang Xuening never denies being a very selfish person: compared to the current You Fangyin, she once humbly hoped that the familiar You Fangyin would come here.

But this kind of despicability is ultimately limited.

She couldn't sit idly by and see this You Fangyin being harmed, nor could she imagine how she would become friends with another You Fangyin after letting all this happen. So she saved her, but couldn't stand her cowardice and everything that made her different from the other You Fangyin.

But why should this You Fangyin become another You Fangyin?

She's just living her own life.

Although she saved her, she had no right to criticize her life, nor did she have the right to express disappointment with any of her choices - not to mention, she actually followed her instructions, bought raw silk, learned accounting, walked out of the backyard that ordinary women dare not leave, and then put her full of gratitude into this small box

Jiang Xuening calmed down after a while and looked at her, saying, "What are your plans next?"

You Fangyin felt a little relieved when she finally stopped crying.

At this moment, he was taken aback for a moment and thought to himself, "Make money, earn more money, make Miss Er happy!"

Another foolish remark.

Jiang Xuening couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling that You Fangyin was too narrow-minded. But on second thought, no matter what the reason was, wanting to make more money was not a bad thing.

For her now, there is no better choice than this.

However, there are also issues that need to be resolved before this.

She remembered when she was in the palace earlier, she heard Shen Jie mention that it was discovered that the silk boat on the Caohe River had capsized, and it was a collusion between officials and merchants to raise the price of silk in order to profit from it.

Jiang Xuening said, "Have you heard any unusual news before or after selling raw silk?"

"Yes, there is." You Fangyin nodded quickly, with a hint of fear in her expression. "Just the day before yesterday, many guilds had officers and soldiers, and six or seven big merchants were arrested and taken away. According to Mr. Xu, they were all top ranked big merchants in the business world, and several people had previously suggested to him to buy a ship of raw silk at a low price. However, he felt that the price was too low and didn't even have the money to give back to the villagers, so he didn't agree. I didn't expect our silk to have an accident as soon as it was sold. I also heard that it seems to be because of some kind of price manipulation for silk. Boss Xu and I were both very scared, but after waiting for two days, no one came to catch us. But last night, a steward in our mansion was taken away. It seems that some of his relatives met in the mansion of some official on the Caohe River, and I don't know if he was implicated... "

Jiang Xuening was fine in the first half of the conversation, but when she heard You Fangyin say that a steward from Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion had been arrested, her scalp exploded.

If the officials and businessmen collude to intentionally capsize and raise the price of silk, there is no reason why even these small fish and shrimp in Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion need to be questioned. The officials and businessmen who are caught alone will be enough to stir up trouble for a while.

Can you even arrest the steward?

She slowly raised her hand to press against her eyebrows, although there was no evidence, she now dared to conclude that someone must be secretly chanting to Cha Youfang! Or rather, it's the self behind Cha You Fangyin

Jiang Xuening is not sure how much You Fangyin from this business in her previous life, and whether she told Xu Wenyi about it or not. But she knew that if she dared to borrow money to do business, it must be because she knew the exact news in advance that she dared to take a risk.

Going back, it is only natural for someone in Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion to be discovered.

Because at that time, You Fangyin had just passed through, it was impossible for her to have any personal connections to learn about this news.

So, most likely by chance, I found out.

You Fangyin in this life received this news from herself, but she did the same thing as You Fangyin in the previous life, and perhaps even attracted attention from others due to her kindness, which was why she caught the clues and went to investigate her.

And it must have investigated all the people she had contact with.

Only then can we find out who this steward is.

If that's the case, the person in charge is probably taking the blame for themselves.

Seeing her changing expression, You Fangyin gradually felt uneasy and said nervously, "Is it possible that someone is investigating this matter and I may be implicated in the girl?"

Jiang Xuening let out a soft breath.

She felt that someone was secretly watching her, but if someone were to blame her, she might not have had time to find out about herself: after all, who could have imagined that she, a young lady with no connection to the Caohe River, would know such news?

This is something that goes against common sense.

So even if her name is on the investigation list, she is afraid that it will be subconsciously ignored by people.

So, although the situation may seem tricky, we can still make up for it.

Jiang Xuening said to her, "No matter what you want to do in the future, you must be careful in your actions. I never mentioned a word to that boss Xu before, and don't mention another word in the future. Especially my identity. I don't know if you came to find me today and if someone will follow. But whether or not, you don't know about this matter, and I'm not the one who once taught you any tricks. I'm just the life-saving benefactor you're very grateful for.". Tomorrow you go buy some things, then sneak out of the mansion and visit me quietly at the side door of the Jiang mansion. I happen to give you a few words

You Fangyin's face was solemn, showing unprecedented seriousness.

She nodded vigorously, but then frowned and said, "If I come sneakily, wouldn't it make others doubt me even more?"

"What they want is their suspicion." Jiang Xuening's eyes were covered with a slight haze. Although she didn't know who her secret opponent was, she had to be extra careful. She also explained to You Fangyin, "A piece of wealth is not revealed. If you make money, it's really strange to openly buy things to thank me, the life-saving benefactor.". And you are also cautious in the Uncle's Mansion, sneaking in may seem suspicious, but after careful investigation, this is the most suitable way for your situation

You Fangyin listened with a vague understanding.

Jiang Xuening smiled and said, "If one day you want to dispel a person's suspicion of you to the greatest extent possible, you must make them doubt you first, and then let them deny their own doubt. Because people are accustomed to doubting others, but always believe in themselves. Remember, smart people hidden in the dark are difficult to deal with in the world."

You Fangyin lowered her head, as if lost in thought.

Jiang Xuening then handed back the box containing the silver banknotes and said, "Take the money back."

You Fangyin was stunned and said, "I brought it for the girl! You gave me the money for doing business, and the way to make money is also what you said. Even my life was saved by you. If you don't accept this money, I, I..."

She's about to cry when her eyes turn red.

Jiang Xuening only picked up the moon white sachet pressed in the box and said, "Is that why you knocked down someone else's stall last time?"

On the white background of the moon, peonies are embroidered with deep blue threads.

There are also a few strands of hidden gold mixed inside, which were pierced with gold thread one by one.

The needle technique is very unique.

You Fangyin didn't expect her to know that she was foolish and clumsy enough to knock down a stall that day. Her cheeks turned red for a moment, and she placed her hands on her knees, feeling at a loss. She hesitated and said, "I just saw it on the way back from the business, and I thought there was a special sachet needle inside. I don't know anything. The first time I saw the girl, I even accidentally stained your sachet, so I wanted to embroider a better one for you..."

Jiang Xuening stared at the sachet in her hand and remained silent.

However, it was rare for You Fangyin to mention what she was good at, and her eyes lit up again. She said, "I learned this embroidery method for a long time, and this material was also the last time I saw a sericulture farmer from Nanxun at Mr. Xu's place. He said it was his own silk weaving, and there was a small piece left that he gave me. I think this is my first time doing business, or was it taught by Miss Er. It happened to be used to embroider a sachet. Is it nice?"

"It looks good."

Jiang Xuening's heart was warm and cozy, but she almost shed tears.

She held the sachet in her own hand and said, "You don't need the money, but I'll take this sachet."

You Fangyin lifted her head as if she wanted to say something more: "But..."

Jiang Xuening reached out her hand and hugged her, whispering, "What you brought me today is more important than all this money."

You Fangyin was stunned.

Jiang Xuening's embrace is warm, even gentle.

Her voice floated like a dream, "Thank you, and I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, I misunderstood you;

Thank you very much, you told me that I can.

No one knew that she had already swam several times on the brink of collapse that day.

On this day, Xie Wei told her: You cannot escape;

On this same day, You Fangyin told her: You can change.

Although the trajectory of many things in this life does not seem to deviate significantly from the previous life, every thing is different from the previous life.

Especially You Fangyin.

She thought she had saved her, but this was still a timid and unsuccessful You Fangyin. Her disappointment with her was like a disappointment that she couldn't change anything.

But she did it.

She also succeeded in doing it.

Even strictly speaking, it was even more successful than the previous life's You Fangyin.

Although there were some endings left, what's more important than what she got today?

You Fangyin didn't know why she was crying today, nor did she know the meaning of what she had just said. However, from this embrace, she felt an unprecedented softness.

The box she brought was returned to her hands.

Jiang Xuening only said to her, "Come find me tomorrow."

You Fangyin hugged the box, nodded blankly, got off the car, couldn't help but look back at her, then hid the box back in her sleeve and slowly walked down the long street.

Jiang Xuening watched her walk away.

It's getting further and further away.

Finally, she got out of the car and stood on the shaft outside, gazing at her figure until she could no longer be seen.

As Xie Wei walked out of the palace along the Vermilion Bird Street, scrolling through those answer sheets, he saw this scene.

The carriage was parked on the roadside, and she stood on it, gazing into the distance.

In the rare clear autumn sky, the sunset has already been blown by the wind, and she is in this glow.

When Jiang Xuening turned around and was about to get back into the car, she saw him stopping not far away.

I should have been afraid.

Perhaps it was because she was too happy to see such a You Fangyin today, and now seeing Xie Wei, who should have looked detestable, also made her feel much more pleased.

She bent her lips, nodded at him, and only said, "Mr. Xie, how are you?"

Xie Wei did not respond.

He only felt the faint smile on her lips, like this day, suddenly dispelling all the suppressed haze on her body, giving her a rare and sunny clarity.

Just like today's sky.

Jiang Xuening didn't need him to respond, it was just a greeting, and then he got into the car and asked the coachman to start again, heading towards the direction of Jiang's mansion.

It's almost time for the key to be set at the palace gate.

Many ministers who were temporarily summoned to the palace for deliberation also left the palace one after another.

Seeing Xie Wei standing over there halfway, he couldn't help but say, "What is Master Xie looking at here?"

Xie Wei then withdrew his gaze and turned to look at that day.

In the late evening, it was particularly magnificent.

The highest part of the head is a clear deep blue, which gradually turns into deep purple, red, and then golden red, with black gold sinking down. It then sinks into the dark gilded edge to the west.

For some reason, he smiled and only replied to the adult, "The wind is really nice."

Fengchen Palace, with the passing of time
