businesswoman's wife

Why did Su Jinyi's life fall into such a situation.

After staying at home, seeing the home that used to be considered lively, now only the sound of the wind blowing and shaking the leaves is left in the cold. Su Jinyi sat in the room slumped, feeling tired even to breathe.

He is so tired, after fighting for so many years, he is really tired.

When someone opened the door and came in, he was startled, but when he raised his eyes, he found that it belonged to Mrs. Su Jiang.

He stood up and stood facing Su Jiangshi, not knowing what to say, too much sorry, too much regret, he couldn't speak.

Su Jiang came over, sat down beside him, looked at him peacefully, and asked, "Do you still want to go back to the past?"

"past?"

"Back to the time when Yuan Shishi didn't exist, shall we start again? You, me, and our three children."

"Can I go back?" He lowered his head, buried in the applause, and asked in pain.

Su Jiang came over and hugged him gently: "Hey, Jin Yi, my life has been ruined by you."

"I……"

"Jinyi, Rouying is dead, Liying is dead, Xueying almost died too, why don't you die?"

"I……"

Su Jiang's voice suddenly became a bit ferocious. Su Jinyi felt something cold pressing against his neck. The cold thing pierced the back of his neck inch by inch, and he screamed—wake up up.

It turned out to be a dream, and he fell asleep lying on the table.

But this dream was too real, even when he woke up, he still had lingering fears. Zichen, Su Rouying, and Su Liying from the General Administration hovered around him, shouting why they were all dead, and he didn't want to die.

He stood up, his face was a little pale, he didn't dare to stay in the house, he found out the real estate title deed of the house, packed some clothes and pants, and hurried out.

He dare not live in this house anymore, no matter whether it is really haunted or not, to him, that house is a "ghost house", lifeless and lifeless, which makes him panic, worried, afraid, even There is a breathless despair and depression.

He found an inn to stay, and asked the shopkeeper who wanted to buy a luxury house. He would definitely pay back Xu Xiuyi's money. He was proud and arrogant since he was a child, and that was the only bit of dignity he had left.

*

Su Jinyi lived in the inn, this is what the fourth sister told her, and asked how the fourth sister could talk to her, because the haunted maid in her house ran around, so she put up a list to recruit people, the fourth sister She came to the door by herself, and Xu Xiuyi liked her very much, so she kept her by her side.

As for Su Yalan, the two new maids were also sent there. Su Yalan is not in good health recently. Xu Xiuyi went to see her once. Su Yalan's complexion is not good, but she is still a little energetic. She also went to Peony Embroidery Village with Xu Xiuyi walked around.

It was probably because the embroidery village was too busy, and Su Yalan was too concerned about the affairs of the embroidery village, so her body was a little overwhelmed.

Su Yalan is taking care of her body, Su Jinyuan and Su Jinyu are going to pray for the old lady of the Su family again, and it will be a month before she leaves, and now Xu Xiuyi is running around, worrying about Baoning Hall and the business of Peony Embroidery Village, And the Su Family Bank, even though she handed it over to Wang Yun, she still wanted to go over to have a look at it from time to time.

She was seriously aware that she needed more hands.

After the fourth sister and her servants were recruited, she intends to set up a women's school first, but this is not allowed in this society, and it is even ridiculed. It's what a woman should do.

Xu Xiuyi just came up with an idea, but for Fourth Sister and Yinyu, she deliberately cultivated it and began to teach them how to read the account books.

Yinyu has a little ink, and has been with Xu Xiuyi for a long time, and she learns very quickly. The fourth sister has shortcomings, but she is very humble and willing to learn.

Seeing that half a month has passed by this time, there have been a few autumn rains, the day has started to get cold, Xu Xiuyi's belly has also grown, Su Jinyuan's return is just around the corner, and the Su family has never been haunted again. Everything seemed to be back to the original point, but the old lady of the Su family still dared not go home, and set up camp in the nunnery.

The nunnery will not drive people away, the Su family has a lot of money for incense, the old lady of the Su family is a cash cow, Xu Xiuyi and Su Yalan went to see the old lady of the Su family, the old lady means that she will not go home, the rest of her life will be in the Su Yalan persuaded the ancient Buddha with green lanterns in the nunnery for a while, but Xu Xiuyi didn't say anything.

She doesn't care where the old lady of the Su family is, and she doesn't have much affection at first. Besides, there have been several quarrels, she would rather live in the entire Su family by herself until the day when the bet between her and An Chengshao ends. Back to others and An Cheng Shao left.

However, less than two months had passed, and she suddenly felt that waiting was really a long process.

In the afternoon of this day, it rained again, and the lingering rain brought autumn coolness. Xu Xiuyi was sitting at the window, while the fourth sister and Yinyu were studying account books. The two chatted with each other without disturbing her. She was fascinated, until Yinyu took the account book and came to ask for advice.

"Grandma, the slaves here don't understand."

Xu Xiuyi glanced at it, explained it carefully, and explained it again when Yinyu didn't understand, Yinyu finally nodded with a sudden understanding: "So that's the case, grandma, are you hungry? This servant will get you something to eat. "

"No, I'm not hungry, go ahead and watch."

Yinyu nodded, came back after leaving, and said with a smile: "The third master said in a letter that the carriage will arrive home tomorrow evening. Do you want grandma to wear that new dress? I didn't wear it last autumn. Grandma, you like it very much. Your slave will give it to you." You go find it."

Xu Xiuyi shook her head again: "No need."

Seeing her lack of interest, it seems that she doesn't have much joy when her third master is coming back. Yinyu just can't understand her, but her grandma's thoughts are always different, maybe she misses her in peace. It's flooding.

Yes, Xu Xiuyi missed Su Jinyuan, but An Chengshao.

When she learned that Lu Qing had been stabbed earlier from Su Jinye, she anxiously went to find An Chengshao, but in the end An Chengshao just told him that he was going back outside the customs without saying anything else.

An Chengshao died fifteen days ago. During these fifteen days, Xu Xiuyi missed him almost every day, especially when he was rubbing his stomach. Thinking of An Chengshao's child living here, he missed him even more .

Looking at the rain outside the window now, she always wonders if it is raining in An Chengshao, when will he come back, will he suddenly appear at her window one night, with a warm smile, and call her "embroidery" Son!"

She was lost in thought, and the girl Yinyu came again.

"Grandma, Miss Qing embroidered some purses for you, have you seen them?"

Xu Xiuyi's thoughts were interrupted several times, and she simply turned around: "I see."

"Is grandma going out this afternoon?"

"I'm going there. I have to deliver the goods from Peony Embroidery Village and the palace in person, so I can rest assured that this is the official transaction between the first order and the palace."

"Is the second aunt going?"

"Don't go."

Su Yalan was kicked out of the palace, from qualifications to face, she was embarrassed to enter the palace, and even Peony Embroidery Village was written under Xu Xiuyi's name in the eyes of outsiders.

Since Xu Xiuyi also got a commission, she naturally had to take care of some things, and went to the palace. By the way, Su Yalan also had something for her to send to Su Yacai with two bolts of satin and some money.

In the final analysis, Su Yacai had a good time in the past, and it was all because of Su Yalan's involvement that she was relegated from the concubine to the noble master. If it wasn't for the queen's protection, Bao Buqi would be working as a coolie in the cold palace or some secretary.

Su Yalan undoubtedly felt guilty towards Su Yacai, so she wanted to deliver goods to the palace this time, and sent 1000 taels of silver over early, and asked Xu Xiuyi to bring them into the palace to give to Su Yacai, saying that she wanted Su Yacai to do the work herself.

Su Yacai had something to give, so Lu Yuer also joined in the fun, and said that although she had never met Su Yacai, she still remembered it in her heart, and asked Xu Xiuyi to bring two agate bracelets and a string of pearl necklaces, which was generous.

Anyone can give gifts, so Xu Xiuyi didn't want to give them away, and he also prepared some vulgar items such as gold, silver and jewelry. If you can't see the top, it's useless if you can't see it.

They made an appointment to enter the palace at the third quarter of Shenshi, and this batch of silk embroidery was sent directly to the respect room, which then distributed to the masters of the palaces.

When the time came, the carriages and horses transported arrived at the gate of the Su residence, Xu Xiuyi got into the carriage and brought silver jade, the fourth sister did not dare to bring the silver jade without seeing the big world in the palace.

The chariots and horses swayed and arrived outside the palace gate just after Shen Shi entered You Shi. The father-in-law of the respect room was waiting outside early, seeing Xu Xiuyi's attitude was quite polite.

"Grandma Su third brought it here in person, come here, go this way."

Pressing the car and following the leading father-in-law to enter through the Rihua Gate, the car stopped directly at the door of the respect room. The deputy chief eunuch of the respect room was there, and Xu Xiuyi's face was also polite when he saw Xu Xiuyi.

"Grandma Su San is here in person, hurry up and unload the goods, and be careful not to let the rain get wet, you, go make tea."

"Eunuch Yang, I haven't seen you for many years."

When Xu Xiuyi entered the palace for the first time, this Eunuch Yang was still serving in front of the palace, but he was just a little eunuch.

"The third grandma has a good memory, and she still remembers the servant."

"Why don't you remember, Eunuch Yang didn't prepare any presents, it's just a thought, Eunuch Yang took it for tea."

Walking around in the palace, it is unavoidable to ask for this move. Eunuch Yang is also used to it, so he accepted it after being polite.

Xu Xiuyi saw that there were few people around, so she lowered her voice a little: "Just now, I invited you to drink tea, and you accepted it with a smile, I ask you to do me a favor."

What Xu Xiuyi took out was a bigger purse, Eunuch Yang hurriedly said: "The third grandma is really polite, you can tell me what you want."

"Don't dare, I just want to meet my noble little master. Eunuch Yang will take a look, but I can't get it right."

Eunuch Yang hurriedly said: "Third Mistress, look at what you said, why is it illegal? This servant will ask someone to report it. You wait here."

You can still see the way the people above are willing to help, Xu Xiuyi actually understands in her heart that it seems that Su Yacai's life in the palace is not bad.

Generally, a relegated empress like her is not even as good as a beauty, even though she is a nobleman. A beauty still has a chance to be favored, promoted, and become a concubine. The nobles are different, deprived of their titles and demoted to nobles, these eight words are actually comparable to "being thrown into the cold palace".

So Xu Xiuyi calculated the money for entering the palace. It would cost some money to clear it up. Only the people in the respect room would be willing to help her with this leg. I didn't expect to be so enthusiastic with the people in the respect room. From the perspective of this attitude, it was not her. The third grandma of the Su family has this charm, not because of her bag of money, but mainly because of Su Yacai's status in the palace.

A concubine whose title was deprived and relegated to relegation is not bad, but Xu Xiuyi can hold it up, it won't be a comeback.

One person guessed nonsense, but Eunuch Yang had already revealed the answer to her, and he leaned over with a flattering expression: "Third Grandma, I will return this money to you, please turn around and say something nice to this slave in front of our noble young master, slave!" A few days ago, her sloppy words made her old man unhappy, and the noble and young master ignored this slave, so if you say something nice to this slave, I will be grateful to you."

Eunuch Yang didn't need to say the answer to this mystery, but he revealed it clearly.

Yes, Su Yacai has been favored again, and the favor is at the top of the list, probably no less than when she first entered the palace.

When Su Yacai came, she was no longer the lonely Su Yacai who shed tears at the Lotus Appreciation Conference that day.

Wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, she looked very good, when she saw Xu Xiuyi, she came up and took Xu Xiuyi's hand, and said with a smile: "Xiuyi, I know you are coming today, and I originally wanted you to sit in my palace, didn't you?" Thinking of people from the respect room coming to me and telling me that you have arrived, and it’s raining and you are pregnant with a child, I can’t let you come, so I’m here.”

Although she exudes an air of spring breeze, she is still very gentle towards Xu Xiuyi, without any airs.

Xu Xiuyi greeted her with blessings, but she stopped her, and made a show of embarrassment to the people next to her, and they retreated one after another. She looked at Xu Xiuyi and asked, "Is Yalan okay? She opened the Peony Embroidery Village." right?"

"How did the young master know?"

"My younger sister has been obsessed with these things since she was a child, and she also admires Jinniang who opened the embroidery shop. I guess you won't run the embroidery shop for no reason. It should be her. How about her?"

Su Yalan is actually very bad, her illness keeps getting better over and over again, Su Jinye has prescribed a lot of medicine, but it still doesn't improve after taking it, what kind of illness she has, she can't eat, she can't sleep, she is very haggard, this It took a few days to see improvement. In the morning, her maid came and said that she was not feeling well and could not get out of bed.

But report good news but not bad news, Su Yacai has no time to take care of herself in the palace, so Xu Xiuyi responded: "It's okay, how is my lord?"

There was a blush on Su Yacai's face, but after all, she had passed the age of being spoiled and shy when she was a girl. After a catastrophe, she seemed to be very indifferent to favor now, with a slight smile in her eyes: "I'm okay , Your Majesty is going to restore my throne."

"Really?" Originally, I guessed that Su Yacai had been favored recently, but I didn't expect to be favored to the point of regaining the concubine position. It seems that the emperor still likes Su Yacai very much, and the emperor seems to have no problem.

That's right, he has thirty or fifty imperial doctors serving him.

"Hehe, um, really, don't talk to the family yet. When the matter is really settled, the family will naturally know."

"Well, I know, the second sister and the fourth sibling asked me to send you something."

Xu Xiuyi took out the prepared things, Su Yacai flipped through them and said with a smile: "Look at you, what else do you give from the family? Are my four younger siblings and fourth brother okay?"

Although the Su family's haunting is well known in the city, but the palace walls are so heavy, it may not have reached Su Yacai's ears, so Xu Xiuyi didn't say anything about Su Jinyu and Su Jinyuan's going out, but said in general: "It's okay."

"It's okay, your belly, how many months old?"

Xu Xiuyi said: "I can't count the days myself, but my sister-in-law calculated it for me, and said it was more than three months."

"Hehe, it's all obvious. When my eldest nephew is born, I will find a way to go home and see my eldest nephew."

Xu Xiuyi felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when she heard it, but she smiled: "Then thank you, my lord, I will come into the palace every once in a while. If my lord has any strange things outside the palace, I'll bring it in for the young master."

Su Yacai smiled gently and shook her head: "There is nothing missing in the palace, you don't need to bring me anything, I came here in a hurry, and I didn't take anything. Next time you come, you will go to Wuwu. I got two jade ruyis. You can take them." Share one with Lu Yu'er, you marry into my Su family, and I, the eldest sister, didn't give you any gifts."

Xu Xiuyi was about to thank her when a servant girl came in, her hair was covered with rain and mist, and her tone was a little anxious and joyful: "My lord, the emperor sent an order to have dinner with my lord, you should hurry over there, my lord."

The expression on Su Yacai's face was still faint, and she said to Xu Xiuyi: "I'll go first, if you have time to bring things in, just stop by and sit at my place."

"My lord, go slowly."

"Well, be careful when you go back."

"Thank you, my lord."

As soon as Su Yacai left, Eunuch Yang came in and looked at Xu Xiuyi anxiously: "Did the third grandma tell the servant?"

"I didn't have time, so I didn't say a few words. The young master asked about the family affairs, and when he wanted to talk, someone called the young master away."

Eunuch Yang was rather disappointed, but quickly said: "The slave deserves what he deserves, and the young master should be angry with the slave. When will the third grandma enter the palace next time?"

"It must be ten days and a half months."

"The next time the third grandma enters the palace, she must say something nice to the servant."

"How did Eunuch Yang offend our young master?"

Eunuch Yang's face was a little embarrassed, he hesitated, and Xu Xiuyi didn't ask any more questions. In fact, he knew that Xu Xiuyi didn't say anything. It was probably because Su Yacai couldn't be favored before. Put Su Yacai, a relegated concubine, in his eyes, and said some things that shouldn't be said, but now that Su Yacai is favored again, Eunuch Yang is afraid that Su Yacai will hold grudges against him.

When Xu Xiuyi looked at Su Yacai's eyes, there was always an inexplicable quietness, so quiet that she could not be surprised by favor or humiliation. Her expression was undoubtedly flying, but her posture was very indifferent, always revealing a calm air of indifference to the world. This temperament is incompatible with the palace.

Things in the palace were never explained clearly by ordinary people like them, but she could understand why her father was anxious to marry her to Su Jinyuan to avoid her fate of marrying into the palace.

After returning to the carriage, the carriage drove towards the outside of the palace, and the palaces and palaces of the imperial city flashed before the eyes one by one, like golden birdcages, brilliant but depressing.

If Xu Xiuyi from the past came to live in this place, she might be able to stay there, but if she was allowed to live in this place, she would not die, she would be suffocated to death.

When I got home, my fourth sister was waiting at the door. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, I saw that her hair was all wet.

When Xu Xiuyi got out of the car, her heart rose.

Well, the fourth sister will not wait for her here, probably something happened, but I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Why don't you wait here in the house?"

"Grandma, Fourth Grandma is going to beat Aunt Lian to death."

Xu Xiuyi only felt that her head was big when she heard the words, would this Lu Yu'er die even if she didn't cause her a little trouble?

Now that the old lady of the Su family is not here, Su Jinyuan and Su Jinyu are not here, she is in charge of everything in this house, Su Yalan will not cause any trouble, but her poor health makes people worry.

But in this four-room courtyard, such a scene will be staged every now and then.

"What's the matter?"

"During dinner, Brother Hui cried endlessly, and Fourth Mistress hit Brother Hui when she was upset, and Aunt Lian went up to fight Fourth Mistress desperately."

"Where did you hit? Did she hit Brother Hui?"

"The servant doesn't know, the fourth grandma flicked her mouth with her finger when she said it herself."

"I don't think so." Yinyu followed Xu Xiuyi to the courtyard of the fourth room, and then said, "Aunt Lian's personality is like a quail, and she is even more cautious when the fourth master is not around. It's not that it's a heavy blow, Aunt Lian will rush forward and fight desperately, she clearly knows that she can't beat the fourth grandma."

"Shut up, don't say a few words."

If this word reached Lu Yuer's ears, Lu Yuer would probably have a problem with Yinyu. With Lu Yuer's strength, if he tried to deal with Yinyu, Yinyu would not be his opponent.

One more thing is worse than one less thing, if it wasn't for Su Jinyu's absence, she wouldn't care about this kind of thing, to make Su Jinyu upset, this was the purpose of her stuffing Lu Yuer's design to Su Jinyu.

But now she can't just watch people die.

Lu Yu'er's arrogance and domineering can be done, and she herself will not be born to Tai Lian and has long disliked Tai Lian.

Baobuqi, she deliberately annoyed Tai Lian and provoked Tai Lian to strike first, and then logically used an excuse of self-defense to beat Tai Lian to death.

Stepping up her pace, this Lu Yu'er annoyed her more and more.

I don't move 1 anymore, I'm really tired.
