Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 741 In this world, some people regard fish eyes as pearls, while others discard uncut jade as worn-out shoes.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows slightly, sat a little further away in an obedient manner, and then asked with a smile:

"Does Mr. Zhang come here often?"

Yang Jiao tightened his emotions and spoke slowly:
"My family was poor since I was a child, so I relied on my mother's job to earn money for studying, so I taught myself how to repair jade. After I entered the capital, I earned money for repairs here to supplement my family's income."

Jiang Xuening's eyes lit up:
"I also have a lot of bumped jades at home. I'll ask my father to invite the adults, okay?"

When Yang Jiao heard this, he looked sideways and saw Jiang Xuening quickly explaining:

"I don't mean to offend you, it's just that I have liked jade since I was a child. I want to learn this craft, but it's hard to ask others. If you come, I can ask for advice."

Yang Jiao asked lightly:

"Second Miss Jiang looks so bright and beautiful. She seems to be a person who likes to be active rather than quiet. How could she like this?"

Jiang Xuening smiled:
"Master Zhang is a bit judging people by their appearance. Xiaoxue Ning really likes repairing jade."

She said silently in her heart:
"I didn't really like it before, but I can like it in the future. This is not a lie."

At this moment, a suppressed and angry shout came:
"Jiang Xuening."

Yao Xi walked over quickly and asked:

"What are you doing?"

She immediately looked at Yang Jiao:
"Zhang Zhe, I've been looking for you these days, and I've sent you several messages. It's fine if you don't reply. What do you mean now? Is this how you behave as a gentleman?"

"Miss Yao, you misunderstood. It was me who happened to meet Mr. Zhang here, not him." Jiang Xuening was halfway through explaining when she was interrupted by Yao Xi angrily:

"Shut up. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have known you were this kind of person. You are making suggestions for me on the surface, but you are doing this behind the scenes. It's really bad conduct, pretentious, and shameful."

Yang Jiao stood up and protected Jiang Xuening behind him, saying:

"Today Zhang and Miss Jiang just happened to meet each other. Please ask Miss Yao not to say bad words or talk about innocent people."

"Furthermore, Zhang and Miss Yao have broken off their engagement, and everything that needs to be said has been made clear. Miss Yao is a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, while Zhang is just a junior official in the Ministry of Punishment, and he is really beyond his reach."

Yao Xi felt extremely sad when she heard this, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes:
"Jiang Xuening is also the daughter of a minister, so can you afford to be her?"

Yang Jiao said calmly:
"Zhang is dull and boring. He really has no desire to marry. Why should Miss Yao involve others?"

"After all, in this world, some people regard fish eyes as pearls, and some discard uncut jade as worn shoes. Zhang is just a fish eye, so how can he win the favor of Miss Yao."

He looked at Jiang Xuening:

"Second Miss Jiang, now you have disturbed the shopkeeper's business. I will take the jade home for repair first."

Jiang Xuening quickly put the jade into the wooden box before Yang Jiao finished speaking, then hugged the wooden box and said:

"If I continue to stay here, I'm afraid it will disturb the shopkeeper's business. Why don't I send Mr. Zhang off."

After hearing this, Yang Jiao didn't say anything, but whispered to Yao Xi:

"Miss Yao, you have really seen the temperament of the eldest daughter of the Xue family a few days ago. Remember to have less contact with her on weekdays and be careful about everything. Otherwise, you may be taken advantage of without knowing it. Zhang Mouyan That’s it, farewell.”

Yao Xi frowned slightly. She took her maid out alone today, not with Xue Shu. After the frame-up in the palace, she had scruples and it was difficult to be as close as before.

In an alley where traffickers and lackeys lived, not far from Zhang's house, Jiang Xuening suddenly stopped Yang Jiao:

"Master Zhang, do you really want to understand why you broke off your engagement with the Yao family? Xiaoxue Ning can see Miss Yao's affection for you."

Yang Jiao spoke in a calm tone: "Although it is not the way of a gentleman to talk about people's rights and wrongs behind their backs, Zhang and Miss Jiang felt like old friends as soon as they met, so they just spoke up."

"When a woman marries someone, even if the other person is a good person, it may not necessarily be suitable for her. Both parties must have similar temperaments and can't get enough of each other for it to be a good match."

"As for Zhang's temper, even my mother said that I can't splash water, can't insert needles, and can't eat oil or salt. Therefore, a young lady from a wealthy family married me, and there are a few who can. Tolerate."

"By then, we won't be disgusted with each other and will harm others and ourselves."

A trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered something, and said:
"This is a great marriage, but Zhang is not worthy."

Jiang Xuening said hurriedly:
"How could it be? In Xuening's eyes, Mr. Zhang is as gentle as rain and as clear as pine. He is a rare good man in the world, worthy of any woman in the world."

After hearing this, Yang Jiao didn't say much. He looked up at the sky:
"It's getting late. Miss Jiang, please go back and be careful on the road."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to signal. Jiang Xuening immediately reacted and handed over the wooden box in his hand.

Jiang Xuening looked at Yang Jiao's back as he turned and left, and secretly said in his heart:
"Zhang Zhe, I will not be the queen this time. According to your previous life, I will be a good person. Is it worthy of you?"

Two days later, inside the palace.

A woman with delicate and snow-white skin, bright and radiant facial features, and inadvertently exuding a delicate and noble temperament took Jiang Xuening to the residence of Linzi King Shen Jie.

The woman and Jiang Xuening walked into Linzi Palace in a familiar way, and were led by the palace servants to a courtyard.

"Brother Wang, you have to tell me clearly today why you don't want Miss Jiang to come to the palace to be my companion."

Yang Jiao, who was seriously injured, heard the sound and went to see his biological sisters, Shen Zhiyi and Jiang Xuening, walking quickly.

"How can there be so many reasons? You have a girl from the Jiang family accompanying you. Why? You still want to be greedy."

Hearing this, Shen Zhiyi felt a little embarrassed:
"Brother Wang, what are you talking about? You make me seem like a libertine who covets beauty. This is not because Ning Ning finally wants to ask me to do something. How can I bear to refuse her?"

When she said this, Jiang Xuening bowed Yingying:
"I have met His Royal Highness King Linzi."

Yang Jiao waved his hand:

"No need to be polite, I haven't thanked you yet for untying the knot in Zhiyi's heart for many years."

Immediately, Shen Zhiyi began to tell the cause and effect:
"Brother Wang, today you must explain clearly why you found me before and specifically asked me not to allow Miss Jiang to enter the palace as a companion."

"You don't know that the Yu Ruyi case a few days ago frightened Ning Ning to the point where she still has lingering fears, causing her parents to say that Ning Ning has not known the world since she was a child and is not suitable to stay in the palace. Therefore, Ning Ning You want me to issue an order to expel her from the palace."

"Since I was a child, I finally met a friend who I like and like. How could I be willing to let her out of the palace?"

"Then Ning Ning made another request. She really didn't like to play the piano, so she wanted me to save her from going to Wenzhao Pavilion to practice the piano. This was an order personally given by Mr. Xie, because I spoke for the Yan family two days ago. , I have already made my mother unhappy, if I thank Mr. Xie again, I will make my brother the emperor unhappy."

Yang Jiao chuckled lightly:

"So, you don't dare to mess with the queen mother and the royal brother, but you dare to mess with me, the royal brother."

Shen Zhiyi took Yang Jiao's arm:

"Growing up, no one knows that Brother Wang, you treat me the best, and every time you are punished or scolded, I am always there to cover you."

"Now Ning Ning wants me to call her eldest sister into the palace. In this way, with Miss Jiang taking care of me, Ning Ning's family can rest assured."

"But what a coincidence. Brother Wang, you found me not long ago and told me not to allow Miss Jiang to enter the palace as a companion."

She changed the topic and spoke meaningfully:
"Could it be that Brother Wang and Miss Jiang have something to do with each other, so they gave this special instruction?"
