I’ll Pretend I Don’t Know You
Zhao Xiaonian stroked his beard triumphantly and raised his eyebrows, saying, “Of course, you haven’t been around these Days, but I often went to Bao Xiang Shop and Yan Yue Pavilion, and found a lot of things!”
Originally, he just wanted to keep an eye on Yan Yue Pavilion, worried that they would do something bad again, but after waiting at the door for several Days, he really found some strange things.
Jiang Yimian asked, Curious, “Oh? What did you find?”
Zhao Xiaonian glanced at the pedestrians coming and going on the Street before lowering his voice and whispering, “I saw many people’s carriages parked at the entrance of Yan Yue Pavilion, several times it was the same carriage, I don’t know if it is because the Madam of the House uses Scented Powder quickly, or what.”
He felt that there must be a Problem here, even if the Scented Powder was used quickly, it was impossible to come once every three Days.
Moreover, buying Scented Powder is not a big deal, does the Madam of the House need to come in person?
He secretly watched several times, but other than discovering that some people came Especially frequently, he didn’t see any other Abnormalities.
Jiang Yimian only glanced in the direction of Yan Yue Pavilion and didn’t speak.
Speaking of which, the first Time she saw Yan Yue Pavilion, she discovered that many Official’s carriages were parked at the door. At that Time, she only felt that Yan Yue Pavilion was not simple and knew too many rich people.
But now that she thinks about it carefully, it seems a little strange.
While thinking, Zhao Xiaonian excitedly said to the person standing not far away, “Brother Cijian, here, here.”
Lu Cijian was talking to Jiang Qingyuan in front of a Restaurant. Hearing the voice, he only looked towards the Two People.
He saw the person standing next to Zhao Xiaonian at a glance.
The girl was wearing a Black Gold Phoenix Tail Silk Skirt today, with large Peonys embroidered on the skirt, lifelike, but only setting off the person as more delicate than the flowers.
It was obviously clothes that should be elaborate, but wearing them on her only made her feel refined.
Jiang Yimian glanced at him, but quickly looked away again, coldly, looking like she was angry.
Lu Cijian was stunned for a moment, but then found it funny. The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he lifted his foot and walked towards the Two People.
“Mianmian, Xiaonian.”
Zhao Xiaonian only excitedly stared at the Dark Green Official Robe on Lu Cijian, completely forgetting what he had said with Righteous Indignation, and only asked in surprise, “Brother Cijian, is this your Official Uniform in the Censorate?
It looks so good, and this Hat of yours looks very intimidating.”
If you want to say which Officials’ Official Uniforms look the best in the Capital, apart from the Imperial Guard, it is the Censorate’s that looks the best.
He had seen it several times in the Capital, and every Time he was extremely envious.
Wang San only smiled and said to him, “Envious? What Attire are you wearing today? You even put on a beard.”
Lu Cijian also looked at Zhao Xiaonian, and then he realized that he was wearing a Daoist Attire today.
He didn’t know if it was because the Clothes were too big, or he was too short, but the whole person seemed to be crushed by the Clothes. With the beard on his chin and the wrinkles deliberately made on his face, he really looked no different from an Old Man.
If his voice wasn’t too familiar, he really wouldn’t have recognized him at first glance.
Zhao Xiaonian said triumphantly, “I am a Fortune-telling Master, so naturally I have to wear this Attire. If I come out with my own face, no one will believe me, and I will easily get beaten.”
He wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.
Wang San just laughed heartily.
Jiang Qingyuan on the side also smiled, nodded to Jiang Yimian, then looked at Lord Lu and said, “Lord Lu, I’ll go back first. I will tell General Wei everything you said.”
Lu Cijian then responded, “Thank you, Deputy General Jiang.”
These past few Days, he had been busy in the Censorate with the batch of Weapons transported back from Qingnan. These Weapons have not yet been displayed publicly.
He wanted to take the opportunity to go to the Military Armaments Bureau to investigate and see if he could find out anything else.
It’s just that this matter is a bit troublesome and requires Wei Jinghai’s help.
Wei Jinghai had been recuperating in his residence recently due to his injury. He happened to meet Jiang Qingyuan today, so he mentioned it.
As a result, after returning to the Capital for so many Days, it was the first Time he had seen Jiang Yimian.
Jiang Qingyuan was about to leave when he heard Jiang Yimian say, “Elder Brother, Parents said they are holding a Welcome Feast for us today, do you have Time to go?”
Jiang Qingyuan paused. He was about to refuse, but met Jiang Yimian’s Expectation-filled eyes and nodded subconsciously, “Okay.”
Jiang Yimian immediately smiled, “Parents will be happy if they know you’re going too.”
She could see the excitement of Parents when they heard that Jiang Qingyuan was still alive. What they wanted to say but didn’t say at that Time was obviously to ask if Jiang Qingyuan could come.
But because she said that he had Amnesia, they hesitated a bit and didn’t want to disturb Jiang Qingyuan rashly.
Jiang Qingyuan was infected by her Smile, and an involuntary Smile appeared on his face. He only nodded before leaving, his footsteps lighter than ever before.
Although he has no Memory, every Time he sees Jiang Yimian, it gives him a feeling of closeness. He didn’t believe her words at first, but now he feels a little shaken.
It seems not bad if he really had a Younger Sister like that.
In the future, he will have a home in the Capital.
Zhao Xiaonian was stunned for a long Time before widening his eyes and saying in disbelief, “That’s Brother Qingyuan. No wonder I think he and Sister Yimian look alike. Why doesn’t he go home?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang San put his arm around his shoulders and took him away, “Let’s go, let’s go, I’m in a good mood today, I’ll take you to buy some candy.”
Zhao Xiaonian was still a little dissatisfied. He was a fourteen━ or fifteen-year-old, what candy was he still eating? But Wang San stubbornly pulled him into the Street beside him.
Jiang Yimian glanced at the person in front of her and left a sentence, “Go to dinner tonight.”
After speaking, she left directly.
Lu Cijian was stunned, smiled helplessly, took a few steps to catch up, and said with a light Smile, “What’s wrong? Are you angry that I haven’t come to see you for so long?
The Censorate has been a little busy these past few Days, it will be fine in a few Days.
Speaking of which, the Palace Banquet will be in a few Days, at that Time, let’s enter the Palace together to meet the Emperor.”
Jiang Yimian snorted coldly, “What is Lord Lu saying? You are Duke Anguo’s Heir, what qualifications does a Common People like me have to enter the Palace and meet the Emperor with you?”
This person has never told her about the Engagement, and it’s with Xue Lingyu.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her pace quickened.
Lu Cijian was only a little helpless. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Jiang Yimian, and directly led her into a secluded Alley next to him.
Jiang Yimian was a little dissatisfied and turned around to leave.
Lu Cijian reached out and blocked her way, saying helplessly, “Mianmian, don’t be angry. This is the Profit from the Ink Pavilion’s Capital Shop. It’s not much. The other Prefectural City’s Profit will have to wait a few Days before I can give them to you.”
As he spoke, he took out a large stack of Silver Notes from his arms and handed them over.
Jiang Yimian was stunned, both angry and amused, and snorted coldly, “What do you mean? Are you trying to bribe me with Silver?”
Is she that kind of person? It’s just a stack of Silver Notes, she has them too.
Although she thought so, her Line of Sight inadvertently fell on the Silver Notes. Good heavens, such a thick stack, it seemed that they were all in Thousand Silvers denominations.
Saying he doesn’t have Family Fortune is really being modest, how can this guy stop!
Lu Cijian only stared at the person in front of him and smiled, “Yes, I don’t know if Mianmian likes this?”
Jiang Yimian chuckled, stared at the person in front of her, and said dissatisfied, “Do you think these Silver will make me wholeheartedly devoted to you, and pretend that I don’t know about your Engagement?
Then you’re really thinking too much. Since you are already engaged, don’t provoke me again in the future. I’ll pretend I don’t know you.”
After saying that, she pushed the person in front of her away and left straight away.
