The roaring sound filled the sky, making the originally peaceful and harmonious night become lively. Fireworks bloom in the sky, indicating good weather and good fortune in the coming year.

After more than half an hour, the fireworks were announced to be over, and passers-by of all colors began to go home with joy.

There is bound to be a good dream tonight.

Gu Chen smiled, looked at a few people and said, "The fireworks are over, let's all go back early!"

"Is it over now?! It's too fast!"

Xiao Lexuan still had some unfinished thoughts and complained helplessly.

Not long after, Gu Chen and the others walked out of the bridge in the east of the city. Liu Yun had already prepared a carriage and was waiting outside the bridge, and Xiao Zuo's carriage also arrived later.

Seeing that there was no one to see Jiang Anran off, Xiao Zuo took the initiative to invite her and said, "Miss Jiang, I'll take you back first later, how about that?"

"What about me? Brother, you don't want to leave me behind, do you?"

Before Jiang Anran could speak, Xiao Lexuan on the side immediately interrupted.

"You will accompany your elder brother to see Miss Jiang off later, and then we will go back together." Xiao Zuo turned to explain to Xiao Lexuan.

But at this time, Jiang Anran shook his head and said: "Mr. Xiao, please go back with Miss Xiao! This place is not far from my house, so there is no need to trouble Mr. Xiao."

"What's wrong with this? I asked Miss Jiang to come out today, so it's only appropriate to send you back." Xiao Zuo said.

"It's really not necessary, Mr. Xiao, you'd better send Miss Xiao off. I can go back by myself." Jiang Anran still refused.

She really didn't want to have a deep relationship with Xiao Zuo. If she hadn't been under pressure from her grandfather and didn't want to make the relationship between the two families sour, she would have rejected him long ago.

If she continues to be entangled like this now, she's afraid that she won't be able to explain clearly in the future.

"Brother, since she's not happy, don't give it away. Let's go back early. I'm a little sleepy." Xiao Lexuan interrupted.

"Xiaoxuan!"

Xiao Zuo called Xiao Lexuan, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

——Le Xuan is so unreasonable.

"Jiang Anran, why don't you go back with me? The Duke's Mansion is right in front of my house anyway."

At this moment, Jiang Heyan asked Jiang Anran for his opinion.

Hearing Jiang Heyan's inquiry, Jiang Anran was obviously surprised. She subconsciously looked at the sister she knew and felt that she seemed different from before.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slowly and whispered: "Okay."

After saying that, she turned to look at Xiao Zuo beside her and said, "Mr. Xiao, please take Miss Xiao back! I'll take Prince Zhuang's car."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Your Highness and Princess."

Seeing Jiang Heyan speak, Xiao Zuo didn't dare to force her, so he bowed his head and thanked her.

Then, he took Xiao Lexuan into the carriage and drove away from the bridge.

"Ahem..."

Gu Chen pretended to cough, and then said: "He Yan, please accompany Miss Jiang to the car, I will just ride the horse."

In fact, he was a little surprised just now. He didn't expect that this girl Jiang Heyan would offer to give Jiang Anran a gift.

After all, the relationship between the two was not very friendly before this.

inside the car.

Jiang Heyan and Jiang Anran sat on each side, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Heyan looked up at the other party and asked first, "Don't you like Xiao Zuo?"

Jiang Anran was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sighed, "That's right. I feel like the two of us are not suitable for each other. It's just that my grandfather has always wanted me to marry into the Xiao family, which has been putting pressure on me during this time."

"I feel now that this is much more difficult than doing business."

Jiang Anran's current situation is actually in a dilemma.

It doesn’t matter if you agree, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. If you agree, you are irresponsible to yourself, and if you don't agree, you are irresponsible to the government.

"Then have you ever had a slight affection for Xiao Zuo?" Jiang Heyan asked again.

I want to use my experience as a person to see if the relationship with the other person is worth continuing.

Jiang Anran shrugged, "No, I just want to do business now and haven't considered getting married yet. Xiao Zuoren is actually quite good, but I don't have any feelings for him."

Jiang Heyan couldn't help but said: "But you are not young now. If it is a few years later, it will be much harder for you to find a suitable one with a matching identity. It is better to get married as early as possible."

"I won't hide it from you. When His Highness and I were together, I felt the same way as you. But sometimes only when you really get in touch with the other person and get to know the other person well can you know that the other person is worthy of your reliance and trust. It can be entrusted to me for life. At least for me, I live a very happy life now, and I am grateful to my grandfather for setting this marriage for me. "

Jiang Anran said: "Let's see again! In fact, my requirements are not high, as long as I have the right eyes, I don't care about status or identity."

She knew that Jiang Anran persuaded her for her own good.

It's a pity that their thoughts are different, and she doesn't want to explain too much to each other.

"It depends on what you think. I will tell you from my own experience."

Seeing Jiang Anran's behavior, Jiang Heyan stopped talking and let the other party make his own choice.

After that, the two fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Jiang Heyan changed the subject and asked: "How is the matter that His Highness asked you to do now?"

"Buying food?"

Jiang Anran said: "During this period, there should be nearly 400 shi of grain stored in the warehouse."

"so much?"

"I have bought from several grain merchants in Kyoto. If I were not afraid that buying out would attract attention, I might be able to stock up on a lot. If I buy grain next, I will probably have to buy it in other areas and then transport it back. Jiang Anran said.

After listening to Jiang Anran's words, Jiang Heyan's eyes showed a hint of relief, and she nodded silently, "Yes, okay."

This period of getting along with her really changed her views on this so-called sister.

Even though she had targeted and bullied him in the past, she was still willing to help His Highness.

This is something she can't compare to.

"Jiang Anran, let's make peace!"

Suddenly, Jiang Heyan looked at Jiang Anran seriously and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Anran froze for a moment and looked at Jiang Heyan with a confused expression to see if the other party was joking.

"you are not willing?"

Seeing that the other party was silent, Jiang Heyan asked again.

Jiang Anran shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true, it's just a bit unexpected."

"Then even if we are reconciled now, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me and I will definitely help you."

Jiang Heyan paused for a moment, and then said: "However, I hope that Mrs. Min can treat my mother better in the Duke's Mansion and not deliberately provoke her."

Jiang Anran said: "Well, I will remind her and ask her not to go to Zhou Niang as much as possible. Let's just live our own lives."

"Okay, thank you."
