Chapter 52 We were indeed lucky
Seeing that they were still outside, Zhou Hanzhang said to Jiang Mingyun, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Jiang Xinyi returned quickly. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm about to get married, and it's only under these circumstances that I let you meet him."
"What are you saying, Sister Xinyi? We are the ones who should be visiting you, right, Mingyun?" Zhou Hanzhang looked at Jiang Mingyun and gave her a wink.
Jiang Mingyun could no longer hear what Zhou Hanzhang was saying; she only knew that her brother Hanzhang had finally stopped calling her Miss Jiang, and that he had just told others that she was his sister.
Jiang Mingyun became happier the more she thought about it. Whatever it was, since she had been asked, she answered decisively, "Yes, Brother Hanzhang is right."
Judging from her expression, Jiang Xinyi knew that she must not have heard Zhou Hanzhang's words.
Thinking back to their previous irreconcilable relationship, it's surprising that a visit to Tianan Academy would improve things so much.
Tianan Academy is indeed extraordinary.
I don't know if Jia Yi will be able to get in.
Jiang Xinyi became somewhat worried after thinking about it. She was going to marry him eventually, so she had to think of a way to consider his future.
Just then, Jia Yi walked in, and Jiang Xinyi smiled at him, "Have you ordered all the dishes?"
"Yes, we specially added several dishes for the young prince and Miss Jiang, just as you suggested."
Upon hearing this, not only Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun, but even Jiang Xinyi frowned slightly.
“Zhang’er and Mingyun are like my younger brother and sister. It’s rare for us to meet again today. They are both now studying at Tianan Academy. Their studies are very demanding. I guess we’ll have to wait until our wedding to see each other again.”
Jiang Xinyi didn't say anything directly, but this sentence clearly expressed her meaning.
Even though I'm going to marry you, you still need to respect my younger siblings.
Jia Yi seemed to have only heard the words "Tianan Academy" in Jiang Xinyi's words, and he looked at Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun with even more smiles.
"Both of you are at Tianan Academy. I heard that it's very difficult to get into Tianan Academy. I also heard today that the elusive Xuan Lingzi agreed to stay and teach at Tianan Academy, as promised by Dean Mo Xuan. Is that true?"
Zhou Hanzhang thought for a moment, and decided that it wasn't really a secret and that there was no harm in saying it. "It is true."
"Then Tianan Academy will have to go even further. Tianan Academy is already highly regarded by students from all walks of life. Now even someone like Xuan Lingzi is going to teach at the academy. You are really too lucky."
“What are you saying? Zhang’er and Mingyun both got in based on their own abilities, it has nothing to do with luck,” Jiang Xinyi interjected.
Seeing Jiang Xinyi's unfriendly expression, Jia Yi immediately put on a smile and said, "Xinyi, what's wrong with you? I never said they weren't capable. Those who can get in are naturally capable, let alone our own younger siblings."
"But now that Xuan Lingzi has joined Tianan Academy, it will probably be even harder to get in."
Zhou Hanzhang smiled and said, "Young Master Jia is not wrong. We are indeed lucky to be born into such a family, which allows us to receive the best education from a young age and prevents us from missing out on admissions to Tianan Academy."
Upon hearing this, Jia Yi's expression immediately turned sour. Zhou Hanzhang, seeing him trying his best to control his expression, felt a little disdain for him.
You little brat, don't try to be sarcastic with me. I've met people in modern times who are even more bizarre than you, and I still managed to win them over easily.
Zhou Hanzhang was about to stop after saying that, but Jiang Mingyun added insult to injury, "Is Young Master Jia very envious?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Yi could barely maintain his smile.
He forced a smile and said, "Yes, I really envy you two."
Jiang Mingyun looked completely innocent. "Then you don't need to be envious. After all, you're about to marry our Xinyi, so you're practically halfway into a wealthy family, right?"
Jia Yi couldn't control his expression any longer; his face darkened. "Miss Jiang, how can you speak like that?"
"Sister Xinyi, Brother Hanzhang, did I say something wrong? Why does Young Master Jia seem so angry? But... I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"
Jiang Mingyun pretended to be a naive and innocent young lady from a wealthy family.
Zhou Hanzhang naturally knew that she was doing it on purpose, but her green tea-like behavior was really endearing.
Jiang Xinyi knew that Jiang Mingyun was just like that by nature, so she could only say to Jia Yi, "Mingyun is still young and speaks a bit bluntly, please don't mind her."
Jia Yi had originally intended to get to know this Miss Jiang better, but he never expected Jiang Mingyun to be this kind of person. How could he not see that Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun were deliberately trying to embarrass him today!
He smiled and said to Jiang Xinyi, "Xinyi, I just remembered I have some things to take care of at home. You can take your time. I'll head back now."
Jiang Xinyi looked at him in surprise, "You haven't even eaten two bites yet."
“I can eat it when I get home. Is the food you prepared for me in the carriage? I’ll take it back with me and come see you again later.”
Seeing that he said that, Jiang Xinyi did not get up to see him off, but just nodded and went to greet Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun.
Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun thought to themselves, "Jia Yi wants to marry Sister Xinyi, and he actually wants Sister Xinyi to prepare things for him. I really don't know how to describe it."
Rubbish.
No, it's worse than garbage.
At least there's a possibility that the waste can be reused.
This guy seems even less reliable than that trash Zheng Qianyi.
"Sister Xinyi, aren't you about to marry Young Master Jia? Why are you preparing things for him now? What are you preparing?" Zhou Hanzhang pretended not to know.
Jiang Xinyi smiled shyly, "His family isn't very well-off. Although I have a lot of dowry, it can only go with me when I get married."
He was worried that his family's poverty would make his wedding look bad, so he originally wanted to sell some calligraphy and paintings to raise money to decorate the house. But I couldn't bear to see him working so hard, so I offered to buy him some things.
Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun were both stunned. Could this really be done?
Seeing their stunned expressions, Jiang Xinyi laughed and said, "What are you thinking? I took the initiative to do this. He initially refused, but I insisted because I didn't want him to be laughed at."
Zhou Hanzhang was speechless, but didn't know what to say.
"Sister Xinyi, aren't you afraid people will laugh at you for starting to provide subsidies before you're even married?" Jiang Mingyun asked, seemingly oblivious and fearless.
“I’m going to marry him anyway. We’ll be husband and wife. It’s better for me to be embarrassed than for him. He still has to study for the imperial examinations.”
Zhou Hanzhang was almost shocked by Jiang Xinyi's love-struck words.
After much deliberation, she said, "Sister Xinyi, this... Young Master Jia is willing to sell his calligraphy and paintings for you, how can you stop him?"
Jiang Xinyi didn't know what Zhou Hanzhang was thinking, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
