As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 204
On the second day after Xie Zhaozhao was canonized as the head of Yuanyi County, all the prefectures in Beijing sent gifts in unison.

Xianggui looked at the gift list and said sincerely: "Now that the lady is favored by the Holy Lord, these people have also seen the trend and are busy trying to build a good relationship with the lady."

"Look, miss, there is also a gift from Jiangning Houfu."

Mrs. Jiangning Hou had problems with her eldest daughter Xie Zhaozhao's marriage, and she has been at odds with the Xie family ever since.

There has been no contact in these years.

This time I actually gave a gift.

Xianggui continued to scroll down and said "tsk tsk" twice more, "There is also the royal family of the crown prince's mother family."

"Miss, Wang Qinyue was so thrown that she was bedridden for several months. Now they have all forgotten those things."

"I'm just acting according to His Majesty's wishes."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the gift lists lazily, "Register them all, and then prepare the return gifts one by one and send them over."

"Yes."

Xianggui and Xiangrong took the steward to handle the matter.

After a while, Lei Xing came in from outside, took a letter and sent it to Xie Zhaozhao, "It's from Miaoshan Hall."

Xie Zhaozhao took it and opened it. It was a letter written by Yun Qi, with the two people's passwords on it.

After Xie Zhaozhao read it, his eyebrows curved.

"Miss, what did Your Highness say?" Hongxiu asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Xie Zhaozhao put the letter away, "He said congratulations to me, and also prepared a gift for me, asking me to go to Sihai Bank to pick it up. Besides -"

Xie Zhaozhao paused.

He asked her to be careful recently and try not to go out and move around as much as possible.

Xie Zhaozhao sighed secretly.

At the Laba Palace Banquet, not only did she steal the show, but she did take the spotlight, and she even offended King Liang.

I'm afraid the Chen family is also very dissatisfied with her.

You really need to be careful when being targeted by these two groups of people.

However, she doesn't like to go out and have fun, so there's no need to worry too much.

It’s just that everything in the house needs to be more careful.

In the afternoon, Xie Changyuan came to Xie Zhaozhao's Wangyue Tower with a smile while waving his folding fan: "Let's go, little sister, my brother will accompany you to Sihai Bank."

"Did you meet him? When did you meet him?"

"last night."

Xie Changyuan closed his folding fan, tapped the handle of the fan on his palm, and sat on the round stool opposite Xie Zhaozhao. "Don't make random guesses. We met at Qingfeng Tower. We chatted for a while, but we didn't go anywhere we shouldn't."

"You don't have to explain in such a hurry." Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "I didn't say anything."

Xie Changyuan murmured: "Aren't you afraid that you will have random thoughts and think that Yun Qi and I ran into some fireworks in Liuxiang?"

"Lu Hanqiu told me that that time Yun Qi just drank with him and watched the singing and dancing, but you were so angry that you ignored him and made Yun Qi cold for a long time, which made Yun Qi treat Lu Hanqiu badly. Face."

Xie Zhaozhao: "..."

Is she cold to him?
Weren't those two people at odds with each other over leaving Beijing?
Does it have anything to do with Lu Hanqiu's banquet?

Why did she look like an inexplicably jealous woman as soon as these words spread.

Xie Zhaozhao felt that it was necessary to explain this matter, "I think Mr. Lu has misunderstood. Yun Qi's bad attitude towards him has nothing to do with me. I -"

"Okay, okay!" Xie Changyuan shouted: "This doesn't matter. Let's go out quickly. I also want to see what good gifts his guy has prepared for you."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent and didn't bother to explain. He stood up and followed Xie Changyuan out the door.

The brother and sister went to Sihai Bank together, took the token given by Yun Qi and opened the gift box.Xie Changyuan just glanced at it, then said "Wow" with his mouth wide open, and said in shock: "Good guy, this bastard is a rich man, and he actually gave you a box of glazed pearls?"

And those pearls come in many other colors besides light pink.

Cyan, light gold, light blue, lavender, and two red ones.

And they are not small in size. Each one is worth a fortune when it is put on the market.

Xie Zhaozhao was also a little surprised.

It would be extraordinary for an ordinary noble family to get just one bead like this, but Yun Qi actually got a box full of them.

"Quick, quick, close it." Xie Changyuan blocked it with a folding fan and quickly closed the box. "I'm afraid that others will see it and rob us."

Xie Zhaozhao laughed and said: "Fifth brother, you made me laugh."

"Tsk." Xie Changyuan sighed: "I have never seen it on the market and made my sister laugh. I will be more careful next time and don't be embarrassed like this."

His expression was very well put on, as if he had been defeated by a mountain of gold and silver, and he looked envious and jealous but not resentful.

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head repeatedly: "Fifth brother, you are so good at playing tricks, no wonder you can please so many oiran ladies at the same time."

"That's right." Xie Changyuan snorted quite proudly, "Let's go, let's go, I'm starving to death, let's go find something to eat. As for this box, let someone send it back to the house. One of the boxes fell out. I had to feel distressed for several years.”

"Row."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and handed the things to Lei Xing for him to take away, then he and Xie Changyuan went to a restaurant not far away.

When passing by a Jinyu Square, Xie Changyuan suddenly stopped and looked inside.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zhaozhao asked.

"It's okay." Xie Changyuan said casually, "I just want to see if there are any of your priceless pearls in this Jinyufang, but obviously there are none. Let's take a look."

"Oh."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and took a look at the Jinyu Square as he walked. He saw a man and a woman buying jewelry.

The man is elegant and handsome, and the woman is naturally beautiful.

But looking at her attire, she doesn't seem to be anything like...a girl from a good family.

Xie Zhaozhao thought for a while, pointed towards the Jinyufang, and winked at Hong Xiu.

Hongxiu nodded to express his understanding and quietly retreated.

The brother and sister arrived at a teahouse not far away.

Because it was afternoon, there were not many people in the teahouse, so I didn't choose a private seat, but chose a seat by the window.

Xie Changyuan ordered Xie Zhaozhao's favorite tea and snacks, then rested his forehead absentmindedly.

Xie Zhaozhao talked to him from time to time, and it was obvious that he was not very interested.

"Pingzhang Marquis, this father is really cruel."

A burst of discussion suddenly came from not far away, "The person was imprisoned for three days and three nights without food or water. When he was rescued, his face was as white as paper."

"Do you know why the punishment is so severe?"

"I just accompanied Dr. Zhang to see the young lady. How did I know about the affairs of the Hou Mansion? I must have made a big mistake."

"Hey, sometimes it's not a good thing to be born into a rich family."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly when he heard this, "They are talking about Miss Chen."

"I heard it." Xie Changyuan also looked over there, frowned and said, "What's going on with Marquis Pingzhang?"

How did Xie Zhaozhao know?
After all, this was someone else's family matter, so the brother and sister didn't say much and went back home together after having tea.
