Chapter 423 New Year's Eve
Miss Fang's unfeeling request?

Jiang Shaoyan didn't speak immediately, but looked at Miss Fang in front of her, and after a moment's pause, she said, "Things that Miss Fang can't even do are not ordinary things. I don't dare to answer first, Miss Fang might as well go first." Tell me."

Don't avoid troubles, but don't force troubles.Seeing the calm and serious expression of the girl in front of her, Miss Fang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: I discovered another great advantage of Miss Jiang Si, no wonder both Mr. Jiang and that firecracker admired her so much.

"I don't know when Zhou Fang will be able to meet us again after leaving. The third sister..." Miss Fang sighed faintly when she said this, and said helplessly, "I want to see Zhou Fang."

"The two of them have had a deep relationship for many years. I don't know when we will meet again, or even never see each other again. It is reasonable for Third Miss Fang to want to see Zhou Fang." The girl nodded and asked Miss Fang seriously, "Then how can she meet Zhou Fang?"

Unexpectedly, the girl would ask the question in reverse. Miss Fang was taken aback for a moment, with a look of shame on her face: "No."

Reasonable things can naturally be done, and no one will stop them, but at the same time, others have no obligation or responsibility to help Third Sister.

Of course people can do what they want, as long as you can do it and bear the possible consequences yourself without affecting others.

But from the beginning to the end, the third sister obviously failed to do it.

Jiang Shaoyan was not surprised by this, if Miss Fang could think of a way, Miss Fang would not have made this trip on purpose.

"My Fang family owes Miss Jiang Si a favor." Miss Fang stood up, bowed to her solemnly, and said, "I, the eldest sister, will accept this favor. If Miss Jiang Si wants something in the future, Please, I Fang Zhiyao will definitely do my best to do it for Miss Jiang Si!"

Jiang Shaoyan let out a faint "hmm" when she heard the words.

It is of course a virtue not to reciprocate kindness, if it is on a daily basis, she may not specifically point out such words.But... I thought of the secret that Jiang Pingping kept silent and didn't tell her.Jiang Shaoyan looked at Miss Fang in front of her: Except for Miss Fang, who owed a favor to the heavens, to let Jiang Pingping do this, she really couldn't think of anyone else.

If she wants to see that person in the future, Miss Fang, who has been fighting in the business field since she was 13 and is used to being in control, may obstruct her.

She always likes to consider the worst-case scenario. People are always complicated. Miss Fang is the one who keeps her promise, but at the same time, it may not be her who is in control.

Of course, everything has two sides, if Miss Fang's lightning control method had not stopped Miss Fang in time, things might have gotten worse.

"This matter is a bit troublesome!" The girl said, looking at Miss Fang, frowned, and said, "Zhou Fang is being held in the prison of the Yancheng County Yamen, and there are many guards in the Yancheng County Yamen. It is impossible for the young lady to break into the Yancheng county government prison without alarming others."

Of course she knew that it was difficult for others, Miss Fang smiled wryly: But she really couldn't think of any other way.

"I can't think of any way." Miss Fang sighed, and said calmly, "No matter how skilled a person is, it is impossible to break into it without disturbing anyone while bringing the third sister. You must disturb Ji Shizi and Lin Shaoqing Two people, things will be troublesome."

Could it be that these two people can still turn a blind eye to this, and deliberately ignore it?The last person who wanted these two people to "play favoritism" was Pao Zhang of her family. Pao Zhang thought of a beauty trick, and the beauty in the beauty trick is still staying in the prison of Baoling County Yamen. Words don't work.

Fang Zhiyao rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, but the girl suddenly said at this moment: "I can let Miss Fang San see Zhou Fang."

Fang Zhiyao was startled instinctively when she heard the words, and looked up at the girl.

Facing Fang Zhiyao's suspicious eyes, Jiang Shaoyan smiled and said, "Miss Fang doesn't believe me."

This is also to be expected.It was Jiang Pingze who believed her, not Fang Zhiyao.

She and Fang Zhiyao had only met once, and Fang Zhiyao was not such a straightforward personality like Fang Zhihui.Carrying the burden of the Fang family on her shoulders, Ben was used to being cautious and careful.

It was Fang Zhiyao who came to beg her, but she was also the one who was suspicious and puzzled when she really said that she could help.

Her admiration and admiration for a woman like Miss Fang does not conflict with the fact that she is not prepared to have a deep friendship with Miss Fang!At first glance, a person like Fang Zhihui, who is as aggressive as a firecracker, seems to have a lot of problems, but in the end, she is more willing to make friends with Fang Zhihui for the same reason.

"I will tell Miss Fang how to do this. You just need to go back and tell Miss Fang to let her wait for a while." The girl said to Fang Zhiyao, "After the matter is done , Miss Fang remembers that you should owe me a favor today."

It was the second time she mentioned the matter of "humanity". Fang Zhiyao understood. Although she hesitated for a moment, the stone in her heart fell to the ground: there are never unreasonable benefits in the business world, and she has long been used to exchanging things for things. things.

It's fair to ask her favor for the help of Miss Jiang Si.

"Okay." Fang Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and looked at Jiang Shaoyan, "As long as I can do what I can, I will do it!"

Jiang Shaoyan gave a "hmm" when she heard the words, glanced at Fang Zhiyao lightly, and said, "Don't worry, the request I made must be something that Miss Fang can do with a raise of her hand."

So... naturally it couldn't be better.

Fang Zhiyao smiled, but didn't exchange any more greetings with Jiang Shaoyan, and got up to say goodbye.

Such things as friends cannot be forced. People who are used to being in control don't like the appearance of such people who are out of control.Similarly, the thoughtful woman in front of her would never like someone who is vigilant and distrusts her like herself.

Partners don’t have to be friends either!It's as if the firecracker at home really looks different from the Fourth Miss Jiang in front of her no matter where she looks, but she is so close to Miss Jiang Fourth that she almost surpasses her eldest sister.

Fang Zhiyao left beforehand, but the pot of dry tea that Fang Zhihui cooked herself still entered Jiang Shaoyan's stomach.

"Eldest sister really came and went in a hurry. I thought she was going to come back for the New Year, but I stayed for less than a day. I just came over to see you and then went back to Yancheng." Seeing this, Fang Zhihui couldn't help but With emotion, "I'm afraid I will spend New Year's Eve alone this year."

Of course, Miss Fang came and went in a hurry. Although she had talked with Miss Fang, she was still worried about Miss Fang.Furthermore, there are Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan in Yancheng, Jiang Shaoyan felt that based on her understanding of these two, she might not do nothing.

Judging from Miss Fang San's feelings for Zhou Fang, it is obvious that she is very likely to do something irrational.Therefore, Miss Fang must hurry back to Yancheng to look at Third Miss Fang.

"Don't you still have a younger sister?" Jiang Shaoyan thought for a while and asked Fang Zhihui, "Isn't she even coming back for the Chinese New Year?"

The Fourth Miss of the Fang family often haunts the Silk Road area, dealing with Hu merchants outside the Great Wall, and rarely returns to Jiangnan Road a few times throughout the year.

"You said fourth sister, she won't come back this year." Fang Zhihui shook his head, sighed, and said with a little envy in his eyes, "She is used to being wild, and a batch of medicinal materials from the wild land have been detained. She is trying to find a way deal with."

Along the Silk Road, apart from the foods and medicines that are not available in the Central Plains, there are also medicinal materials.

"The medicinal materials outside Hu Di Sai are actually famous. For example, snow lotus is very rare." Fang Zhihui said casually and yawned, "The accounts run by the fourth sister are not the same as ours. She is responsible for her own profits and losses. Yes. Don't look at her, unlike the jewelry I run, which exudes a sense of wealth, but she actually makes a lot of money."

Jiang Shaoyan nodded and smiled, not surprised: "Things related to life are naturally not cheap."

After saying a few more words, Fang Zhihui said enthusiastically, "Why don't I come to you for the Chinese New Year today!"

There are still a few days before New Year's Eve, and Jiang Si probably won't be returning to the capital either.In this way, it would be nice to just make do with her.

Jiang Shaoyan glanced at her with a smile, and said, "Take the Firework Week too!"

Fireworks Week, which has been running fireworks workshops for generations, was seized because of the fireworks workshops. At this time, it was a "lonely family".Now he is the only one with the serious surname Zhou in his old Zhou family, and he lived with the apprentices and handymen in the workshop in the past.This year the fireworks workshop was closed down, and his apprentices and handymen also went home to other workshops, and on New Year's Eve, he was the only one.

New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion, but because Jiang Shaoyan's acquaintances here are empty, they all come to Jiang's Bieyuan to celebrate the New Year.

In addition to Fang Zhihui and Fireworks Week, Qian San, Mother Chun, and Mrs. Jiang Er also came. Although Mrs. Jingci eats delicious food, she didn't go out today, but the nuns in the same nunnery in Guangming Nunnery. New Year together.

With Xiaonian's experience, on New Year's Eve, Jiang Shaoyan left most of the cooking to Xiangli and the others.

It is not difficult to cook dishes, as long as you put your heart into it, you can always cook well, as the table of dishes on Xiaonian's day proved this.

Because there are many diners at this table today, Jiang Shaoyan made some new dishes.

Fish dishes are indispensable at the New Year’s Eve banquet. After all, there is more than enough every year. Jiang Shaoyan made sweet and sour fish with sweet and sour sauce. The fish was fried twice and topped with a layer of shiny braised sweet and sour sauce. , very energetic.

In addition to sweet and sour fish, Jiang Shaoyan also made a time-consuming eight-treasure cloth bag duck. The boneless duck was stuffed with glutinous rice, bacon, mushrooms, etc., and steamed for an afternoon with chicken broth.Although it took a lot of work, it was worth it when it was tasted on the table.

It is customary in Dazhou that at the New Year’s Eve banquet, one must say auspicious words before moving chopsticks. Each person said auspicious words. When it was Jiang Shaoyan’s turn, she picked up the fruit wine mixed with pomegranate juice in her hand and said a few rather vulgar auspicious words with a smile, “Yuanbao Words like "I found a Ruyi Lang" made everyone move their chopsticks.

After eating half of the dishes on the table, the wonton dumplings made by different people were brought up. Naturally, the appearances were very different because they were made by different people, but they all went into the stomach, so they didn't care so much.

After Jiang Shaoyan ate two, she heard Qian San who was on the opposite side suddenly speak.

"Miss Jiang Si, next year's New Year's Eve banquet should be eaten in Chang'an!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere froze for a moment.

Qian San, who spoke on the opposite side, looked anxious, looking at her anxiously, waiting for her answer.

Although Fourth Miss Jiang has never really used her status as Miss Bofu to overwhelm others since she came to Baoling, and she often ate at the same table with them on weekdays, but where is her background, she is not from the same people as them .

He could see clearly, how could someone like Fourth Miss Jiang stay in Baoling forever?Definitely going back to Beijing.After returning to Beijing, these people...

"Aren't you going to visit Chang'an?" The girl raised her eyes, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, my father is fine."

Qian San twitched his lips: Of course he knew that Uncle Dongping was a good person, if he wasn't a good person, he wouldn't have been bullied so badly by the Jiang family.

But it’s okay, let’s take a look at these people: Second Miss Fang and the others are fine, he’s just a usurer, and Chun’s mother across the street is a brothel owner, plus Xiao Xuebai, ask yourself, if he is Dong Ping Bo, he will definitely be the same I wouldn't like my favorite person to befriend such a person.

Qian San felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and he didn't know why.

He is a usurer, and he is not a good person. Why does he suddenly want to be a good person?

What good man?What are you crazy about?After scolding himself a few words, Qian San twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a smile uglier than crying, and was about to refuse, when he met the girl's smiling eyebrows, the words turned into: "Alright, I'm still I'm going to Chang'an to see my brother!"

Yes, he just went to see his brother, he didn't go to Chang'an on purpose!

Jiang Shaoyan smiled, but didn't break his words.

On the side...Mother Chun twitched the corners of her mouth, glanced at Qian San, snorted and said, "I can't stay in Baoling City any longer, I wanted to change places for a while."

This is a good job for the head of the diarrhoea!Mr. Zheng didn't intend to let her go. These days, she tried to reopen Huayue Tower, but she just cleaned it up, and the next day someone threw dirty things in the building.

Originally thought that after these days, Mr. Zheng's anger should disappear, but unexpectedly, this Mr. Zheng is quite angry, but he just refused to let her go!Mother Chun sighed, a little helpless.

Jiang Shaoyan smiled, but didn't open her mouth to refute: She was going to take Xiao Xuebai and Xiao Liulu away, so it's not surprising that Chun's mother would come with her.

As for Fang Zhihui who was about to speak at the side, Jiang Shaoyan spoke before her: "You still have the property in Baoling City, so don't come in a hurry."

Fang Zhihui, who expressed his loyalty, gave her an empty look, silently drank the wine in the flagon in his hand, shook the empty flagon at her, and said, "It's gone!"

What Jiang Si really said... was so reasonable that she didn't know how to refute it for a moment.When you are happy on New Year's Eve, can't you be stupid and pretend that you don't know?

Seeing Fang Zhihui's dissatisfaction, Jiang Shaoyan shook her head with a smile, picked up the empty jug and walked to the kitchen.

She came to Baoling in the spring of March, and it took nearly a year to find the right manpower, how could she just throw it away like this?I will bring it back to Chang'an.

Just walking into the kitchen yard, a tall shadow was pulled out of the silver light on the ground, all the way to the gate of the yard, Jiang Shaoyan glanced at the shadow under her feet, and looked up at the owner of the shadow.

"Senior Ji, how about seeing you for a few days?"
