Chapter 74
Jiang Youning looked at Xie Jing's waist, it was already dark, and he couldn't see the accessories on his waist, but after sharing the same bed for so long, he had never seen him wearing a sachet.

[I now understand that the reason Xie Jing is single is that he is too straight, but this is also very good, so that women will not be misunderstood, let alone have any ambiguity with women. 】

[However, whoever becomes his wife may not be so lucky. If his wife gave him a sachet, and ended up saying this, it would be very hurtful. 】

Xie Jing listened to what Jiang Youning was saying, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, isn't his wife herself?How can anyone say that about themselves?
He withdrew his eyes and strode towards the study, stopped in two steps, and looked back at Jiang Youning, "Ma'am?"

It was the first time Jiang Youning heard Xie Jing call his wife, but he didn't react for a while.

Xie Jing said again: "What are you doing in a daze?"

After Jiang Youning realized it, he immediately chased after him, "Husband, I'm here."

Du Huilan froze on the spot, watching Xie Jing's tall and straight figure leave without a second thought, pinching the back of her hand with her fingers, blood came out abruptly.

She really didn't understand why Xie Jing treated her like this?

In order to marry him, she did not hesitate to go on a hunger strike to make her grandpa decide for herself.

In order to marry him, she did not hesitate to lower herself to be a concubine.

Why did Xie Jing treat her so coldly and alienated?

"Sister Du, the generals are gone."

Du Huilan froze, turned around and saw Nan Mianmian standing not far behind, the lights were dim, even if she couldn't see the subtle expressions on Nan Mianmian's face, she could guess that she was laughing at herself.

"Of course I know the general is far away, and I don't need you to remind me."

Nan Mianmian chuckled, "I don't need to remind you, but sister Du is blocking my way."

Du Huilan was standing in the middle of the road at the moment. This road was not wide, and standing in the middle would make it impossible for others to pass.

She snorted and walked away quickly, shaking her handkerchief.

Nan Mianmian looked at Du Huilan's distraught look, and snorted, "No one can coax you when you are sad, and the general doesn't like you. Didn't you often brag that you and the general have known each other since childhood? So what? The general doesn't want to marry you."

Jiang Youning followed Xie Jing unhurriedly, until he walked into the study, and was stunned for a moment, watching Xie Jing's tall and straight figure walk to the desk and sit down.

【What did Xie Jing bring me to the study for? 】

Xie Jing raised her head and looked at Jiang Youning, "Go back and rest first."

Jiang Youning blinked her beautiful almond eyes twice, 【Isn't this just a waste of my trip? 】

"The general also rested earlier."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out with cheerful steps.

【Hey!No one is going to warm the bed tonight, so Chuntao has to prepare Tang Pozi. 】

Xie Jing watched the petite figure disappear at the door, he looked away and continued to read the letter.

In the dead of night, Xie Jing came to Lingxi Courtyard under the moonlight. He opened the door and walked in. The room was much warmer than outside.

He closed the door and came to the bed, as usual, took off his clothes and went to bed.

"Ah."

Xie Jing heard a low muffled hum, looked down, and by the faint light of the candle, saw her turn over, holding the caterpillar in her arms.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out the caterpillar and threw it aside before lying down beside her.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. He turned his head suspiciously and saw that she was still fast asleep.

As if thinking of something, his hands groped under the blanket for a while, and suddenly stopped, the touch in his hands was warm and tender, even if he couldn't see them, he knew it was her feet, as petite as she was.

There is a Tang Pozi at the foot.

Not only that, but she also held a Tang Pozi in her arms.

After he lay flat again, he stretched out his hand to pull up the curtain, and he couldn't see his fingers or a ray of light in the bed.

Early the next morning, Jiang Youning came to the side room after breakfast, and looked at the twelve girls in front of him. These days, they had no worries about food and clothing, and their complexion was obviously better than before.

"Starting today, you all learn to make velvet flower hairpins. In the first three months, you will make one or two hairpins every month. If you do well, you will be rewarded with one tael of silver."

For poor people, one or two taels of silver a month is already a high salary.

Employees will work harder if they are rewarded.

The girls have been ready to do hard work since they were bought, and they all showed surprise expressions when they heard the hairpin and the silver.

Making hairpins is a skill that not everyone can learn.

The girls looked at Jiang Youning in surprise, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

"Is it true ma'am?"

Jiang Youning said: "Of course, I said that following me will protect you from worrying about food and clothing, so I won't deceive you."

The girls happily said in unison: "Madam, we will do well."

Jiang Youning ordered: "Yuanbao, tell them about the rules and things that need attention."

Yuan Bao said softly, "Miss, don't worry, I will explain clearly."

Jiang Youning is still very relieved when Yuan Bao handles affairs, and the management of these people is handed over to Yuan Bao.

Lingxi Courtyard has a large yard and many side rooms, so Yuan Bao chose a larger room for them to make hairpins.

When Jiang Youning followed Yuan Bao to look at it, his eyes were filled with shock. There were five long tables in the room, and the tools for making velvet flower hairpins were placed on the long tables, just like a small workshop.

She only mentioned these things to Yuan Bao once, but he didn't expect him to be ready.

"Yuan Bao, you are too thoughtful."

Seeing the satisfied expression on Jiang Youning's face, Yuan Bao knew that he was right.

"It's good that the lady is satisfied."

As early as when he was renovating the jewelry store, he asked the carpenter to build a long table, which was used to make hairpins for the hairpin lady, and he even bought the tools.

Both the workshop and the hairpin lady have been established. Chuntao first taught the hairpin lady the most basic brushing and pruning.

Jiang Youning took the carriage to see the jewelry store.

The jewelry shop is located in the busiest Jinghua Street, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

Jiang Youning stood at the door of the jewelry store, and when he looked up, he saw a plaque on the door, which read Years of Wishing.

Satisfied, she withdrew her gaze and walked in. What caught her eyes were display cabinets of different sizes, which were almost the same as those on the drawings.

Yuan Bao followed behind unhurriedly, "Miss, are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied." Jiang Youning reached out and touched the glazed cabinet. It was colorless, ultra-thin and almost transparent, and the velvet hairpin could be seen.

Velvet flower hairpins are delicate, and often exposed to air, there will be dust, and they will accidentally get wet. It is much better to have a layer of colored glass as a cover.

Yuan Bao looked at the glass cabinet, which was almost transparent, and admired Jiang Youning's whimsy, but it was much more expensive than wooden display cabinets.

"When is the lady going to open?"

Jiang Youning said without even thinking about it: "It will be the eighth day of the next month."

She doesn't know auspicious days, but her elder brother said that double days are better than single days.

Yuan Bao did some calculations and said, "The eighth day is not bad."

A luxurious carriage was parked not far from the jewelry shop, Xiao Yun opened the curtain with a folding fan, and saw four big golden characters on the plaque at a glance, Years of Wishes.
