Chapter 445 New Year’s Eve
She walked closer curiously, wondering what her fifth sister and the two princes were talking about.
"I don't know how sorry I am for not welcoming you, the two princes."
When she entered, the three of them stopped talking and turned their eyes to her.
Jiang Wuni felt relieved, "These two gentlemen are here to look for you."
But they held her and talked for a long time, and one of them kept talking.
If Xiaoliu doesn't come back, she will find someone to look for him.
"Young General, you are finally back. We have finished discussing the business." The second prince said with a smile.
The Third Prince looked at Jiang Yue's confused expression and explained with a smile:
"Young General, His Majesty asked us to take charge of the imperial examinations, so we wanted to cooperate with you."
After hearing this, Jiang Yue didn't know what the two princes were going to do, so she listened to the second prince continue to explain:
"We are thinking about opening a bookstore."
"Open a bookstore?" Speaking of the imperial examination, Jiang Yue was wondering whether her second brother-in-law passed the exam and became a scholar.
"That's right." The second prince replied. He usually liked to show off his literary talent and pretend to be cultured.
The Third Prince looked at Jiang Wuni and smiled:
"The Fifth Miss said that she wanted to ask the young general if he could share the profits. If the young general agrees, it will solve the urgent problem for my brother and me. The Fifth Miss is full of business ideas, and she is worthy of being the young general's sister."
Jiang Yue had just received five thousand taels of silver as a reward from His Majesty. The two princes knew about this of course, and they were just thinking of finding someone to help them.
It’s simple. Their country is very poor because of the war, how can they be rich?
"Thank you for your praise, sir." Jiang Wuni had a faint smile on her lips. When it came to doing business, she learned it from Jiang Yue.
After hearing this, Jiang Yue nodded in agreement.
"If Fifth Sister agrees, I have no problem with that." She certainly wouldn't refuse anything that could make money.
"Okay, it's settled then. As for how to cooperate, we will discuss the specific details next year." The second prince said with a smile. The third prince was already thinking about the specific location of the bookstore.
After the two princes left, Jiang Yue looked at the pale face of the fifth sister and said worriedly:
"Let me see your injuries."
"It's all right now." Jiang Wuni smiled as she pursed her lips. She didn't want Jiang Yue to worry too much because of her.
Jiang Yue still insisted on taking the fifth sister to her room, lifted up the back of her collar, checked her, and began to apply medicine to her little by little.
"Fortunately, the wound is recovering. During this period, Fifth Sister, you should rest well and not go out casually."
Jiang Wuni lay on the bed, feeling the cold touch of Jiang Yue's fingertips, and shook her head:
"Xiao Liu, I haven't had time to look at the accounts of the past two days. I have to go to the grain store later. There are several stores."
She raised her head and wanted to continue speaking, but Jiang Yue pressed her down.
"Business matters are handled by me and my two brothers-in-law. Sister, you should stay at home and recover from your injuries these days. Don't work too hard."
"Besides, aren't there Miss Feng and Miss Yu?"
Jiang Wuni's mind was still full of thoughts about the grain store account book, because she had been doing it herself all these days.
If she didn't deal with trivial matters such as reconciliation for a day, she was afraid that the money would pile up.
"Who are those two gentlemen? What is their purpose in approaching you?" Jiang Wuni was afraid that Xiaoliu would be targeted by bad guys.
Being too popular, it is inevitable that people will envy you.
"They are the second prince and the third prince. I think they really want to do business." Jiang Yue didn't have much contact with the two princes, but after two contacts, she had a general understanding of their situation.
Of the two princes, the second prince was famous for his literary talent and a little arrogant, but his talent was also very good. He was a prince, so of course he had the capital to be arrogant.
The Third Prince is also quite talented and more stable. He is not like the Second Prince who is aloof and arrogant, nor is he like the Fourth Prince who is a dandy.
He is a humble man with a perfect character.
There were some fights among the princes during their childhood, but since Your Majesty ascended the throne, they have all settled down, with less intrigue and more brotherly love.
"They are actually princes!" Jiang Wuni had never expected that the two young masters were princes. If they returned to their mountain village, they could brag about this for the rest of their lives, but for Xiaoliu, it was so common.
Because of Jiang Yue's words, she concluded with one sentence,
“This business is worth it.”
"It's very good." Jiang Yue didn't expect that her taciturn fifth sister would have such a big change just after coming to the capital with her.
...The quiet days seem to pass quickly.
The two princes have started looking for a site for their new bookstore and plan to open it next year.
These are not things that Jiang Yue needs to worry about; she is only thinking about the future share of the profits.
Before we know it, New Year's Eve is approaching.
On New Year's Eve, the general's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
The mansion also added ten servants to guard the house, and the place became even more lively than before.
Wu Fei, Xue Wen, Lin Guo and Mu Heng were also busy posting Spring Festival couplets.
Strings of red lanterns were hung row after row, and the Xuanwu Army was filled with the joy of the New Year.
It's just that they have been away from home for too long, and during the New Year, they can't help but wipe away tears quietly.
The New Year’s Eve dinner at the general’s mansion was very sumptuous, with wine and meat.
Jiang Yue was invited to attend a dinner in the palace.
You can bring your family to today's dinner.
Before leaving, Jiang Yue wanted to ask Fifth Sister for her opinion. After finding Fifth Sister, she said with a smile:
"Sister, do you want to come with me to attend the palace banquet today? If you make more friends with the rich and powerful, maybe you can find a good husband for your fifth sister from them."
"I won't go." Jiang Wuni shook her head repeatedly.
"Xiao Liu, you are worried about your sister."
Looking at Xiaoliu, she couldn't help but feel sad and heartbroken.
"It's hard for you, even harder than for men."
"It's not hard at all." Jiang Yue smiled and shook her head. She knew that her fifth sister would refuse verbally.
"Fifth sister is waiting for me at home, I'll be back soon."
Today's palace banquet was even more joyous than before because Jiang Yue won the battle.
The dancers danced gracefully and the ministers in the court raised their glasses in joy.
During the banquet, Zhao Yuanzhen, who was originally sitting next to his father, came over to drink with Jiang Yue.
"Little General, a toast to you, please!"
Jiang Yue stood up and clinked glasses, "Your Highness, please."
Zhao Chongxiu looked at this scene and thought that it would be a good thing if his Royal Highness the Crown Prince could make friends with Jiang Yue, be influenced by her and help him become a wise ruler in the future.
Zhao Yuanzhen toasted and sat back in his seat.
Next, the second and third princes came to Jiang Yue to toast.
"Why didn't you bring the fifth young lady here as well?" the second prince said with a smile.
The Third Prince echoed, "I heard that the Fifth Miss is still unmarried. I wonder which of the gentlemen present here would be pleasing to her eye."
Jiang Yue's smile paused, and she shook her head.
"Your Highnesses, my elder sister is pure-hearted and only cares about her business. She doesn't like to make friends with the rich and powerful. As for her lifelong affairs, she has the final say. I am just her younger brother and I really can't make the decision."
Jiang Yue also thought they were just laughing.
She also didn't want her sister to marry into the royal family and be jealous of all the women all day long.
It’s scary to think about days like that.
