Chapter 640 New House Ningyuan
On the other side, Wei Yao did not go far because she was worried about Jiang Suining.
At this moment, the two of them were walking side by side. When Wei Yao heard that Xiao Yue came to make peace, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, they are not looking for trouble, but could this be a delaying tactic by the Fifth Princess? On the surface, they are seeking peace, but in fact they want you to let down your guard so that they can find an opportunity to deal with you?"
"It shouldn't be." Jiang Suining shook his head. "She didn't look like that just now. Besides, rather than trying to buy time, I'd rather believe that she was frightened by the Fourth Prince's incident."
Xiao Yue is not a very brave person. His previous arrogance and fearlessness seemed to come more from ignorance.
And what happened to Xiao Yi this time probably made her understand that even for a prince or princess, their fate could be changed in an instant.
"If that's the case, then it's a good thing. At least you don't have to be afraid of her competing with you." Wei Yao said after thinking it over.
Jiang Suining agreed with a smile, but he didn't really think that Xiao Yue would be safe and sound in the future.
After all, things change too fast, especially in this palace. The current request for peace is sincere, but who can say what will happen in the future?
Of course, there is no need to say these words at this moment.
When I left the palace, it was already past midnight and the new year had arrived.
The next morning, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi went to wish Shen's father and mother a happy new year.
After it was over, everyone thought Shen Yanxi would stay at home and wait for his colleagues to visit him, but Shen Yanxi wanted to go directly to Jiang's house with Jiang Suining.
"After all, you are the prime minister, and there should be many officials visiting you. You should stay at home. I will talk to my father and mother, and they will definitely understand."
"There will be many officials who come to visit, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law are unique after all. If I, as a son-in-law, don't visit them during the first New Year, it would be too rude." As Shen Yanxi spoke, he ordered Yuan Liang and the servants in the mansion to put the gifts he had prepared long ago into the carriage.
"What if the courtiers come and you are not here?"
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. If anyone comes to visit, just say I'm busy visiting my father-in-law. I won't accept any gifts. If you want to leave, just leave. If you're willing to stay for a cup of tea, my father will naturally entertain you."
Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi with some amusement, "Prime Minister, if you do this, I'm afraid it won't be long before people in the imperial city will say that you are henpecked and only know how to go to your wife's family, and even ignore your colleagues who come to visit you."
"I'm rumored to be henpecked?" Shen Yanxi's happy expression froze. He looked at Jiang Suining and frowned a little bit. He said seriously, "Ningning, what you mean is... No one in the imperial city has rumored that I'm henpecked yet?"
Jiang Suining: “?”
"It seems that I am not working hard enough. I need to work harder in the new year."
Jiang Suining: “?”
"After all, being henpecked is such an excellent quality that a husband must possess!"
Jiang Suining: "..." She was wrong, she shouldn't have recruited Shen Yanxi.
At the Jiang family's side, when Jiang Zhitong and Zheng heard that the Shen family's carriage had arrived, they happily went to the door to greet them.
They had originally thought that since Shen Yanxi was the prime minister after all, he would definitely have to stay at home to entertain guests today, so they had already made preparations, thinking that Jiang Suining would be the only one to come back.
When they saw Shen Yanxi coming out of the carriage, they were surprised and delighted.
Especially when they heard Shen Yanxi say that he could not meet the court officials, but must come back with Jiang Suining, the two of them were even happier.
I am extremely satisfied with this son-in-law.
Various dishes had already been prepared in the kitchen, and the family had a reunion dinner together. Thinking that Wei Yao was alone in the imperial city without any relatives to spend the New Year with her, Jiang Mushi, after obtaining the consent of his parents, persuaded Wei Yao to come over.
The meal was a very pleasant one. After the meal, Jiang Zhitong and Zheng gave each of the guests a thick red envelope. The atmosphere was very harmonious and joyful.
On the first day of the new year, it seems that all the previous stress, tension, boredom, and calculations have disappeared along with the old year.
Jiang Suining was in a very good mood today and drank a few more glasses, which was rare.
After leaving the Jiang family, he sat in the carriage, a little drunk, and fell asleep in Shen Yanxi's arms.
When he was woken up, he thought he was home, but when he lifted the car curtain, he found that it was not the Shen Mansion.
"Where is this?" Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi in confusion.
Shen Yanxi gently tidied up Jiang Suining's messy hair, took her hand and walked out of the carriage together. Looking at the house in front of them, he smiled and said, "Do you remember what we said before, that we would move out of the house after the New Year and live on our own."
"I do remember, but today is only the first day of the new year. Aren't you a little too anxious?" Jiang Suining frowned. "As for your parents..."
"Don't worry, I've already told them. They support us living alone, so they naturally have no objections. We also discussed today's date with them. Because of the Fourth Prince's affairs, I couldn't take care of some things in the house. Many things were bought by my mother. She is waiting for us to move in and then take a good look to see if we are satisfied."
Thinking of the exquisite gardens and various furniture and ornaments in the Shen Mansion, Jiang Suining smiled and said, "What my mother bought must be excellent. I know it will satisfy people without even seeing it."
"My mother is not here, so you don't have to force it. If there is anything we don't like, we can change it. Don't worry about anything. After all, this house is for the two of us to live in."
"Okay." Jiang Suining nodded, stood at the gate and looked at the house in front of him, his curious eyes fell on the plaque covered with red cloth.
"This isn't even the opening of the shop, why do we have to cover it with red cloth first?"
Generally, the plaque of a new house can be hung with red silk, and there is no custom of covering it with red cloth.
Shen Yanxi raised his lips, "It's covered because I want to witness the unveiling of our new home plaque with my wife, and then step into our new home together."
Jiang Suining couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he heard this, and said, "Then let's watch it together. We can uncover it now while there is still daylight."
Shen Yanxi looked at Yuan Liang, who immediately walked to the bottom of the plaque with another servant, grasped the hanging red rope, and pulled off the red cloth covering it together.
As the red cloth fell, two large characters painted in gold were revealed on the plaque.
But it was not the Shen Mansion, but Ning Garden.
