Chapter 168
The first person who came to the door was Su Xihe's distant cousin. He was one year older than Jinyan. He had a decent appearance, and his face was somewhat similar to Su Xihe's.
She looked at Jin Yan sitting on the main seat and was stunned for a moment. Then she mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward and knelt in front of her, "See the Princess."
"They are all our sisters. Sister Qingzhi, please get up."
After saying that, he asked people to sit down and serve tea.
Xia Qingzhi didn't expect Jinyan to remember her name, and she was secretly surprised for a while.
She sat down as instructed.
At this time, Xiao Qi came in and said that the second young master got another excellent fox fur cloak today and sent it over to ask her what to do with it.
Jin Yan raised her eyes and looked over. It was a rare good material.
She asked Haitang to put them away first, but she now had quite a few cloaks in various colors, so it was really hard to use them.
"It's rare for my sister to come over today. Haitang, go and give the white one that shopkeeper Qian sent two days ago to Sister Qingzhi."
Finally, he explained to Xia Qingzhi, "My second brother gave it to me. I can't give it away. The one given by shopkeeper Qian is also brand new. It has not been used yet. If my sister doesn't dislike it... …”
Xia Qingzhi hurriedly shook her head, "What are you talking about? How dare I dislike it? Thank you very much, Princess."
Jin Yan covered her mouth and smiled, "I told you not to be so polite, just call me Yan Yan, but if that doesn't work, you can just call me sister Yan Yan."
Xia Qingzhi was startled again.
This time she didn't come back to her senses so quickly. She really didn't expect Jin Yan to be so easy to talk to, so she stared at her for a long time.
It wasn't until the other person tilted his head and smiled with crooked eyebrows that she suddenly came back to reality, realized her embarrassment just now, and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, it's just that you are really different from what I imagined."
"Sister Qingzhi, please don't say such things. It's my turn to visit you, but there are a lot of things going on at home recently, and I have to go to school again, so I'm delayed."
Xia Qingzhi's face turned a little red, "No, it's time for us to take a closer look at you."
She is also sensible, so there is no way for the legitimate daughter of the family to visit them.
It's just that they are usually very nervous. They are just worried that she will think of them and send them back to their hometown or directly to the village. They are afraid that their whole lives will be wasted, so they dare not show their faces in front of her.
Some time ago, she heard that the princess also wanted to let them study in the academy, so she thought about it and wanted to ask.
Going to the academy is not only about increasing knowledge, but more importantly, making friends with some people. If you can meet the one you like or be looked at by others, you may have a good marriage.
They are not as beautiful as Jin Yan, but they don't have so many opportunities to show their faces.
Thinking about it, Xia Qingzhi's mind became heavy.
Jin Yan's eyes fell on the handkerchief she was stirring, and she turned her head to pick up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
There are some things that she won't help if others don't ask for them.
It's not that she's cruel, but giving it to her on her own initiative will make people look down upon her.
In the final analysis, she is just testing them now. If they are useful, she will use them. If they are not, they should be blasted away.
"I came here today because I actually have something on my mind...I want the princess to help me make some ideas."
Xia Qingzhi finally spoke.
Jinyan smiled lightly and said, "Sister Qingzhi said, if there is anything I can do to help, just ask."
"I……"
Before she could speak, her face turned red.
But seeing the kind smile on Jin Yan's face, she gave up for a moment.
"I'm almost 15 years old now, and I've reached... the age when it's time to talk about marriage. I should have asked the princess for advice on this matter, but I don't have many opportunities to see the princess on weekdays, so I just thought about you... …Can you give me some ideas?”
After stumbling, she finally finished her words.
Her face was already blushing, but it also showed a bit of charm.
Jin Yan held her chin in her hand and stared at her unscrupulously, not surprised at all by what she said.
"If this is far-fetched, I..."
"It's nothing. Sister Qingzhi's birthday is coming soon. It's also my negligence. My mother and concubine didn't care about these things before. Naturally, my eldest brother didn't take it to heart. I have wronged my sister all these years."
"Ok?"
Before Xia Qingzhi understood, Jin Yan gave the order.
"I have attended so many banquets recently. It's time for us to hold one in Prince Jin's Mansion. Let's give Sister Qingzhi a hairpin gift. Haitang, you can go talk to your eldest brother later. I'll go talk to my mother and concubine in the evening. Let's give it to Sister Qingzhi as a hairpin gift." In the name of the concubine."
Xia Qingzhi was completely stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Haitang handed the cloak to the maid behind Qingzhi, and went out to tell Jin'an about it.
It was only then that Xia Qingzhi came back to her senses, but there were already tears in her eyes.
She has always been a sensible person, and she has never fought for anything since she arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion. Today, she had no choice but to ask for help.
After all, she had to think about her future life and find someone to rely on.
If she doesn't like her after fifteen, time will pass by in a hurry. If Prince Jin's Mansion keeps her then, it will be fine. If not, she will really have nowhere to go.
After a while, Haitang replied.
"The prince said that the princess has the final say in this matter. He also said that if there is anything needed, he will handle it even if he mentions it to Chang Yun. He just asked what the specifications are."
"It's also said that the princess made up her own mind and asked the princess, and he won't care about it."
Jin Yan knew this would be the result.
Xia Qingzhi on the side was already flattered and said hurriedly, "There is no need to be so extravagant and wasteful, I...I..."
Jin Yan had already smiled, "The reason I let my sister come in was to relieve the mother and concubine's pain of missing her daughter. It is Prince Jin's Mansion that owes you for having you stay away from home for so many years."
"My mother and concubine have not paid much attention to you these years. My father and eldest brother are busy. You have been wronged because we, Prince Jin's Mansion, have not done well. Sister, why should we refuse? Since we are here, we are also a serious young lady. Prince Jin's Mansion My cousin deserves a hair extension gift."
She had made peace with Su Xi a long time ago about these things, so she dared to say this now.
He added, "It's just that there are not many people in the house. My father and I only have one wife, my mother and my concubine, and there are only two brothers and me. We have always been harmonious. Now that we have a few more sisters, it doesn't matter. As long as everyone goes to the same place." If you work hard, you can be considered harmonious and beautiful, right? Of course, if something happens, you won't be forgiven easily."
Xia Qingzhi was stunned for a moment. He was also a smart person and understood immediately.
"Thank you, Princess! Don't worry, Princess. If you can be called your sister, I will naturally know what to do and what not to do."
Jin Yan nodded with satisfaction before sending the person away.
She knew that what happened tonight would soon spread throughout Prince Jin's Mansion. .
