Bai Lian took the box.
Seeing Jiujiu accept her gift, Li Xiuwan breathed a sigh of relief, "When I saw Miss Nan yesterday, I felt a sense of familiarity. I wonder if we can become friends."
Jiujiu looked at Li Xiuwan's eyes, which she thought were sincere, but were actually full of schemes. She nodded slightly. She wanted to see what Li Xiuwan was up to.
Seeing Jiujiu nod, Li Xiuwan immediately said, "Since we are already friends, I will definitely come to disturb Miss Nan more in the future. I hope Miss Nan won't be tired of it."
Jiujiu smiled, "Since we are already friends, how can I be tired of it? However, I haven't been in the capital for long, so I will have to ask Miss Li for advice on the matters in the capital."
Li Xiuwan naturally agreed, "That is natural."
Seeing Li Xiuwan agree, Jiujiu's smile became even more brilliant. The dimples at the corner of her mouth deepened, making her face even more beautiful.
Even though Li Xiuwan was very tired of Jiujiu, she couldn't help but be dazzled by Jiujiu's smile. She secretly thought that if she had Nan Xiang's appearance in her previous life, her cousin would not have taken in such a concubine.
Li Xiuwan came this time to apologize to Jiujiu. Now that Jiujiu had accepted her apology, she didn't stay any longer and directly got up to leave.
After Li Xiuwan left, Jiujiu asked Bai Lian to put the blood swallow's nest in the storeroom.
Li Xiuwan wanted to marry Xiao Rong, so she naturally hated her to the bone. She wanted to poison her and send her to heaven, so what good things could she give her?
Jiujiu talked with Li Xiuwan for half an hour, then returned to continue listening to the opera.
Without Li Xiuwan's disturbance, Jiujiu finally finished listening to the entire song.
It was another song of an infatuated demon who was unfaithful.
Unfortunately, the fox demon's love was ultimately misplaced. She lost her money and her life, benefiting the sanctimonious hypocritical scholar.
After Jiujiu lamented for a while, she asked Bai Lian to reward the performer with some silver before having him sent out.
The Spring Festival was coming. Xiao Rong had to go to the palace every day. Naturally, he had no time to visit Jiujiu. Jiujiu either read books or listened to music every day. Her life was very comfortable.
On the day of the Spring Festival, Jiujiu and Li Guiqin did not have the qualifications to attend the palace banquet, but they did not expect Princess Jiarong to open her mouth and forcefully bring the two of them to attend the palace banquet.
During this period, the Emperor, Empress and Empress Dowager kept calling Jiujiu to come forward and reply.
Jiujiu was natural and generous. No matter what they asked her, she answered them fluently. The three of them kept nodding. If Xiao Rong hadn't told them not to use their power to threaten Jiujiu, they would have married Jiujiu and Jiujiu immediately.
This girl was so adorable that she couldn't wait to marry Xiao Rong.
However, after what the three of them did at the palace banquet, it was obvious that they wanted to betroth Jiujiu to Xiao Rong.
Naturally, no one dared to have any ideas about Jiujiu.
The three of them had no relatives or friends in the capital, so they didn't need to visit relatives. However, they didn't expect that on the sixth day of the Spring Festival, Princess Jiarong's family took the initiative to come to visit.
During the meal, Princess Jiarong said that she was very satisfied with Jiujiu. It seemed that as long as Nan Dongbei nodded, she would go to the palace to ask for a marriage decree.
Princess Jiarong had the Emperor and Empress Dowager behind her. Nan Dongbei, who was only a marquis but had no power, couldn't compare with her at all. Princess Jiarong said so. Even if Nan Dongbei was unwilling in his heart, he knew that Jiujiu and Xiao Rong's marriage was basically set.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Xiao Rong came to pick up Jiujiu early in the morning.
Jiujiu thought that Xiao Rong would take her to see the lanterns, but she didn't expect that Xiao Rong would take her to a medical hall. When she opened the door, she smelled a faint smell of paint.
Xiao Rong pointed to the medicine cabinet full of small compartments. "I've bought all the medicinal materials. As long as you want, we can open the shop tomorrow. How about it? Do you like it?"
Xiao Rong looked at Jiujiu with bright eyes like a little puppy asking for favor. If Xiao Rong had a tail, it would have wagged wildly at this moment.
Looking at Xiao Rong's little appearance, Jiujiu couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiao Rong's head. She smiled and said, "I like it very much. Thank you."
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Xiao Rong grinned and showed a silly smile. "It's good that you like it. By the way, I'll go to Hancheng in a few days."
Hancheng was a border town of the Flourishing Country. Every winter, there would be a robbery by the Xiongnu.
Before, the country had just been unified and was too weak to start a war. Moreover, the Xiongnu only robbed food every year and didn't cause a lot of casualties. Therefore, in winter, the county magistrate of Hancheng would ask people to prepare food and then leave.
The Xiongnu also knew that they only took food and didn't hurt people. The two countries seemed to coexist "peacefully" for more than ten years.
This had become an unspoken rule.
Who would have thought that in winter, the Xiongnu not only robbed food, but also wantonly robbed women and wantonly slaughtered the people of Hancheng, causing a lot of casualties.
Previously, when the country was weak, the emperor was willing to send some food to keep the peace. However, the Xiongnu took the lead in tearing up the treaty of "peaceful coexistence."
Now that the country was prosperous, it was no longer the era where they needed to send food to maintain peace.
The Xiongnu robbed women and killed unarmed ordinary people. Naturally, the emperor was prepared to send troops to attack the Xiongnu.
After Xiao Rong learned of this, he was ready to volunteer.
Xiao Rong didn't want to marry Jiujiu because of her parents' status. He wanted to rely on his own ability to work hard and make Jiujiu his wife.
After hearing Xiao Rong's plan, Jiujiu sincerely congratulated him.
After receiving Jiujiu's blessing, Xiao Rong hugged Jiujiu and asked, "If I come back safely, will you marry me?"
Xiao Rong's face was not as frivolous as usual. His face was flushed and full of uneasiness and uneasiness.
Jiujiu smiled and nodded. "Okay."
She was going to marry someone in Hancheng eventually.
Instead of marrying a man she didn't know, it was better to marry a man she knew.
For example, Xiao Rong.
Although Xiao Rong was wearing the shell of a rich second generation, he was a very good man in his bones.
After receiving Jiujiu's promise, Xiao Rong had a silly smile on his face for the rest of the time. When it was time to light the lanterns, Xiao Rong wrote in front of Jiujiu, "I, Xiao Rong, want to marry Nanxiang."
However, because he was too excited, his smile was written in a crooked and ugly way.
Soon.
The imperial edict that Xiao Rong would lead the army to Hancheng was issued.
The day before Xiao Rong left, Jiujiu specially went to see Xiao Rong. Jiujiu gave Xiao Rong the medicine she had prepared in the past few days.
"I've written down what to treat and how to take it on a piece of paper. If you don't feel well, find some medicine and take it yourself. This is Jinchuang medicine. I've prepared more."
Xiao Rong was very happy that Jiujiu came to see him. Not only did Jiujiu come to see him, but she also brought him so many medicines.
