Daughter of the prosperous age: the multi-faceted prince and the only favorite concubine

Chapter 5 First Talk about the Chu Family and Preparations for Moving

Junxi also knew that she was reckless afterward. Modern society says that everyone is equal before the law, but in fact there are still things like bullying others and corrupting the law. What's more, we are now in a feudal society with distinct levels, and I am the bottom of this society people.

After thinking about this, Yunxi was a little scared: "Mother, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

"Hey, you! When will this reckless temper change?" Huang said helplessly.

"Mother, I assure you, it won't happen next time." Yun Xi swore to Huang.

Fearing that the Huang family would blame her, Yunxi quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, mother, is the Chu family very powerful?"

Mrs. Huang touched the top of her daughter's head, and said in a serious tone: "It's more than powerful. The Chu family used to be a scholarly family in the Southern Dynasty, and the heads of the Chu family in all generations were the emperors of the Southern Dynasty. Now that the Southern and Northern Dynasties are united, the current emperor has treated the Chu family for a long time. Feeling apprehensive, but helpless. After all, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated, and it affects the whole body. The current head of the Chu family is Lin'an Xuezheng, who is in charge of the imperial examinations in a province. He has great power. We can only become officials after passing the scientific examination, so everyone in Jiangnan has to call him a mentor."

so smart?Junxi lamented in her heart.Respecting teachers is definitely a criterion that students cannot give up.And the Chu family is simply the leader of the Jiangnan students, controlling the Jiangnan students can basically control the Jiangnan officialdom. It seems that the power of the Chu family will never be inferior to any family in Jiangnan.

"It's just why such a family chooses Yang Zhang? Isn't he a merchant?" Yun Xi was puzzled, so she asked.

Mrs. Huang said indifferently: "Family marriage is ultimately an exchange of interests. Master Yang has a good eye for business, but in ten years, the Yang family's business has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Besides, Yang Zhang is a well-known child prodigy here. The first name will be Huiyuan, and it is very possible to be the number one scholar in the future, and this one who is married is just a concubine of the Chu family, and she is a good match."

After listening to Huang's answer, Yun Xi understood that it was just that everyone took what they needed.One has more money, the other has great power, complementary advantages, and mutual benefits.

But this is all a secret matter, how can mother know so much?

Yunxi was puzzled, turned her head and asked Huang, "Mother, how did you know?"

The expression on Huang's face froze suddenly, but recovered in an instant, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a embroidering job I heard from others, it's just hearsay, what can I take it for real?"

Looking at her mother's expression that was obviously different from usual, the doubts in Yun Xi's heart were not only not resolved, but deepened. Is her mother really an ordinary woman?

The mother and daughter were each caught up in their own thoughts, no one spoke, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the small courtyard was slightly stagnant.

Jun Xizheng didn't know what to say, but Huang's broke the atmosphere: "Xi'er, shall we leave Huaping later?"

Leaving Huaping?Junxi was startled by her mother's words, and said doubtful words without hesitation: "Why? Don't we live well? Is it because I offended the Chu family?"

Mrs. Huang glanced into the distance, not knowing what she was looking at, but she replied: "This is one of the reasons. You offended the Chu family. If they take revenge on your mother, they will not be able to protect you at all. The people in Jiangnan are conservative, and you were exiled by the Yang family. Dear, your reputation will be damaged. I'm afraid it will be bad for your future marriage. Besides, I found out that your father has returned to the capital, and mother wants to take you to him. Originally, mother wanted to earn more travel expenses before leaving, but now you have Huaxiu That’s enough money to earn.”

Listening to her mother's answer, Yunxi felt that something was wrong but couldn't tell, but since it was her mother's intention, Yunxi would not object.

But thinking about the agreement with Yunshangguan, Yunxi said: "Okay, just as mother said. When we leave, I will tell shopkeeper Zhou and get back the 280 taels of silver I left there. Then this What about the house?"

"The mother of the house has already told the landlord in the afternoon that she will not rent, and we don't have much. We will pack it up tomorrow. My mother has already contacted the caravan that will go to the capital the day after tomorrow. It is safe for us to go with them. The shopkeeper Zhou is kind, But since we broke the contract first, we have to compensate others, and the price of 100 taels per embroidery sample is too high, so don't ask for so much." Huang said clearly.

Jun Xi thought in her heart: It seems that mother has arranged everything. I think I made up my mind to move early in the morning, but I don't know what kind of person my father is.

Packing, checking out, and renting a carriage, since Huang Shi had already prepared, Huang Shi and Yunxi only took one day to pack everything, and on the third day they boarded the carriage and set out on the journey with the caravan.

Sitting in the carriage, Junxi fell into deep thought. She recalled the incident when she went to Yunshang Pavilion to bid farewell to shopkeeper Zhou before she left.
But taking advantage of the gap between packing things, Yunxi drew some embroidery samples and went to see shopkeeper Zhou together.

Although my mother said that she can't ask for prices, she can't afford to go out without money. She wants to earn as much money as possible with her own ability, and also to prevent any emergencies on the trip that require money.

Bringing these embroidery samples to the Yunshang Pavilion, Yunxi saw that one of the embroidery samples she drew had been embroidered and mounted as a screen and placed in the most conspicuous position in the shop.

Such a complicated Songhe Yannian was embroidered in less than three days.Yunxi reassessed the strength of Yunshang Pavilion in her heart, no wonder yesterday's boss was not afraid of Chu Jinfu at all, it seems that the background of Yunshang Pavilion is not simple.

But these are too far away from Yunxi, apart from these embroidered patterns, I should have nothing to do with Yunshang Pavilion in the future.

Walking into the shop, Yunxi asked the clerk in front of the counter: "Brother, is shopkeeper Zhou there?"

Seeing Yunxi coming in, the clerk greeted him enthusiastically: "Miss Xi is here, shopkeeper Zhou is upstairs, and I will lead her in." As he spoke, he led Yunxi to the second floor.

Jun Xi followed the clerk to a room on the second floor, and heard the clerk knock on the door softly: "Shopkeeper, Miss Xi is here."

There was some noise in the room, and then shopkeeper Zhou's voice sounded: "Miss Xi, please come in."

Junxi opened the door and walked into the room, and found that there was another young man wearing a silver mask in the room besides shopkeeper Zhou. Guess this might be the shopkeeper Zhou talked about.

Seeing Yunxi coming in, shopkeeper Zhou introduced to her enthusiastically: "Miss Xi is here, this is the owner of our Yunshang Pavilion." After all, Yunxi blocked the Yunshang Pavilion once.

The young man didn't respond extraneously to Shopkeeper Zhou's introduction, but just sat there quietly sipping tea, as if he didn't care about anything.

Jun Xi stepped forward and gave her a blessing: "Hi, my boss, it's Yun Xi who bothered me, please forgive me! Shopkeeper Zhou, Yun Xi has something to tell you, can I tell you alone."

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at the young man hesitantly, as if waiting for his order.

The young man finally stopped looking out the window, turned his head to look at Yunxi, and said to shopkeeper Zhou: "You go outside and talk."

　Finally able to re-update!
