Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1037 The truth is

After coming out of Xingyuan, Mrs. Li took Xiangyu to sit in Jinyuan, and then sent her back to Shaoyuan.

After returning to Orchid Courtyard, Mrs. Li asked someone to invite Chuyu, and told her to take Tianhui and Xiangyu to the Sun's house tomorrow, and then said: "I see that child is sensible. When I come back tomorrow, I will take care of it first." Tell her. If she doesn't cry, the old lady will feel less pain."

Chu Yu complied, and took Tianhui and Xiangyu out of the house the next day.

Although I sent people over to say hello first in the morning, it was still a bit hasty.

When Cao Ying got the news, she told her in-laws and waited to welcome the distinguished guests.

She was still surprised, not knowing why Chu Yu came here.After all, tomorrow is the day for Tianbao to "catch the week". If there is anything he can't say, he has to make a special trip here today.

Chu Yu took the two girls with her, but didn't go directly to Sun's house.She sent someone to say hello to the Sun's family, saying that it was past noon ([-] o'clock in the morning), and it was still early.

She first took the two children to the front door, where she bought a new shop a few days ago, and it was almost tidied up.

This shop is based on the old layout of Qianmen merchants, with shops in the front and factories in the back, so the depth is very wide.Now the bootmaker has not started working, so the inner courtyard is empty.

There are three main rooms, and one side room on each side.There is a room on the east side of the landlord, with a separate door, which is an elegant room for the "owner" to come to check the accounts.

Chuyu took Tianhui and Xiangyu around the yard, where the storeroom and the workshop were clearly distinguished.

Tianhui and Xiangyu both had a bit of joy on their faces, they turned around and sat down in the elegant room with Chuyu.

Zhang Yi's family had long ago, with a few maids and women, laid out cushions and poured tea.

"Have you set a date for the opening?" Chu Yu asked Tian Hui.

Tianhui said: "Auntie said that the most important thing to avoid is June, maybe we should choose a date at the end of May or the beginning of July."

"How to distribute the proceeds, have you settled yet?" Chu Yu looked at her daughter lovingly and asked.

"My aunt is [-]%, younger sister Yu, fourth aunt, and fifth aunt each have half, and the two younger sisters of the second aunt's family have half of each from the age of ten." Tianhui replied.

Chu Yu listened, smiled and nodded.

Everyone knew that this shop was jointly opened by Tianhui and Niu Niu, and it was right to give Niu Niu the lion's share, and distribute some rouge money to aunts and younger sisters, so there was nothing wrong with the distribution.

This shop was supposed to be open for my daughter to play with.

Xiangyu was listening, but she was a little embarrassed, and said to Tianhui in a low voice: "Sister Hui, I didn't do anything, how can I pay for nothing? Or I will be like my aunt, paying for a piece of money... It's just that I'm not as rich as my aunt, and I don't have much money to spend..."

Due to the influence of Cao's family style, the children are in charge of the monthly bills by themselves, and they have to learn to make income and expenditure account books by themselves, so Xiangyu also has some savings in hand.

Tianhui shook her head and said, "No need, my aunt and I have enough money. Didn't you help to look at the cloth samples and dyes? This also helped my aunt and me a lot."

When Xiangyu heard this, her eyes sparkled, and she smiled with her small mouth pursed.

Chu Yu sighed inwardly, and took the two of them to Sun's house.

Cao Ying had been waiting for a while, and when she heard the guests had arrived, she followed her mother-in-law An and sister-in-law Gao to the second door.

After meeting each other, everyone surrounded Chu Yu and went to Cao Ying's courtyard.

Seeing that Tianhui and Xiangyu were both good, An Shi couldn't help but take a few more glances.After hearing that Xiangyu was a girl from the Li family, her expression changed.

The Li family has already questioned her, but the Cao family is still protecting the girl from the Li family. The Sun family just dismissed her from office, but the Cao family watched helplessly as the Sun family's daughter was going to serve in the palace.

An was angry in her heart, but she also knew that she still had to support the Cao family, forced a smile, and went out after saying a few words of homework with Chu Yu; Prepare seats, and go out with apologies.

Cao Ying was puzzled, and it was not easy to ask questions in front of the children, so she ordered her daughter to take Tianhui and Xiangyu back to her room to play.

Sun Xian agreed, Tianhui glanced at Chu Yu with some hesitation, saw her nodding, and then took Xiangyu to the west wing where Sun Xian was staying.

"Sister and sister, is there something wrong?" Cao Ying hesitated and asked.

She already knew from her mother-in-law that her cousin donated the village to her, and she was a little uneasy, fearing that Cao Yong would help Sun's family without telling Chuyu.After all, ten hectares of land is expensive.

Although she was grateful for her cousin sending charcoal in a timely manner, she didn't want to disturb her mother's family because of this.In that case, as a sister, she would feel ashamed.

"Sister, I'm here today mainly to bring Xiangyu to meet the third girl of your family. Xiangyu is also on the small selection booklet of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and No. 15 will be sent to the palace. Our old lady wants to let them know each other. In the future There can also be a help." Chu Yu said.

Cao Ying was surprised and speechless after hearing this.

The third girl from the Sun family is okay, she is thirteen this year, she is the age of Xiaoxuan, and it is not awkward to enter the palace as an errand; the Xiangyu girl of the Li family is only in her teens, and when Li Xu is questioning her, she seems to be confiscated by the family members of the criminal. enter the palace.

"Tomorrow's Tianbao'Zhou Zhou', if the elder sister is cheap, then let's take the third girl over there. It's only a few days away, so it's good to let the aunt and nephew get acquainted with each other more." Chu Yu said.

Cao Ying had nothing to say here, so she hurriedly responded, and then asked someone to invite my sister-in-law over.

The third girl, Cardamom Nianhua, is not tall and has a slender body. Unlike the girls in the north, she has the aura of Jiangnan girls. Her appearance is only delicate, not outstanding. She speaks with a southern accent, gentle and gentle, very amiable .

Chu Yu sent a pair of agate bracelets as a meeting gift, and then Cao Ying sent people to the West Chamber to invite Tianhui and the others to come and meet each other.

The third girl already knew about her entry into the palace, she cried several times in private, but she kept silent in front of others.Seeing that her nephew and the two cousins ​​are carefree right now, she stands aside, only envious.

Among the Cao family sisters, Chu Yu and Cao Ying are not close friends, and they don't have much to talk about.

Therefore, Chuyu didn't stay long, and took Tianhui and Xiangyu back home after dinner.

Mrs. Li didn't ask Xiangyu to return directly to Shaoyuan, but left her in Lanyuan.

After sending out all the servants, Mrs. Li mentioned Xiangyu's entry into the palace to serve.

Xiangyu listened in a daze, her small face turned pale, and after a while Fang asked in a low voice: "Aunt, granddaughter, are you going alone?"

"No, there is also the third girl of the Sun family. Because the Li family is under the government of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is no way to do it. But you don't have to be afraid. After a few years, I will find a way to pick you up." Li said softly.

Big drops of tears rolled down from Xiangyu's eyes.With a pleading face on her face, she pulled Li Shi's sleeve, choked with sobs and said, "Auntie, can my granddaughter not? My granddaughter is afraid and doesn't want to be a court lady..."

Mrs. Li took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said: "Your grandfather made a mistake, and your father will probably be implicated as well. You are also showing filial piety when you enter the palace to work hard."

"But... but what about the ancestor? The ancestor likes his granddaughter to knock her legs, and also likes her granddaughter to play 'duahu' with her..." Xiangyu couldn't stop her tears, crying.

Li's eyes were red, she hugged Xiangyu in her arms, groped her hair and said, "It is precisely because I know that your ancestor hates you that my aunt told you first. Your ancestor is getting old, and he can't help but feel great sadness and joy." ...You have to be strong, so as not to make your ancestor feel at ease..."

Xiangyu stayed in the Orchid Court until it was time to light the lanterns before returning to the Shao Court.

Gao's old eyes were dim, and she didn't see anything wrong with her, she just asked where she had gone, and at the end she didn't forget to tell her not to think about going out in the future.It's fine to be naughty in the mansion, but it's not peaceful outside, so I don't want to be wild.

Xiangyu responded, went to bed early and cried silently in bed all night.

The next day, Tianbao "caught Zhou".

Cao's family did not have a big banquet, except for the female family members from the eastern and western mansions, they only invited guests from Prince Chun's mansion and a few aunts' homes.The third girl from the Sun family also came with her sister-in-law, and was taken to Jinyuan by Tianhui, where she became acquainted with everyone a lot.

Tianbao has already started to learn to speak. No matter who is holding him, he will shout "mama", which makes everyone love it.

Mrs. Gao didn't like to see guests. On a good day, her grandson also dressed up and talked with him in the Orchid Courtyard.

As she got older, her temperament gradually calmed down, and she was able to chat with Prince Chun Fujin and Shizi Fujin a few times.

Presumably, Cao Jiashi and Cao Yi also got the news from Li's family, they have been paying attention to Li's family, and seeing that her expression is normal, they are a little relieved.

After making a fuss for a long time, Tianbao, the little birthday star, grabbed a piece of ink, and everyone was happy.

After Cao Yong saw off the guests, he went to Weiquantang on the Shichahai Sea to have a banquet in Yiduli.

On the Cao's side, Mrs. Li went to the Shaoyuan, and told Gao Taijun the truth about Li Xu's indictment, and the fact that Xiangyu was about to enter the palace to serve.Forehead
Gao Taijun waited and sat quietly for a long time without saying anything.Mrs. Li was worried, and stayed with her until nightfall, and waited for her to settle before leaving.

That night, no matter whether it was Gao Taijun from Shaoyao or Li Shi from Lanyuan, neither of them slept.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Li went to Shao Yuan.She was worried after all, afraid that the old lady's body would not be able to bear the anxiety.

Gao Taijun has already got up, and is combing Xiangyu's hair with a comb.But after one night, the wrinkles on her face became deeper and deeper, her eyes were bent, and they were covered with bloodshot eyes.

Xiangyu's eyes were red, but she forced a smile, and said, "It would be great if my cousin's 'Neiliansheng' could be opened all over the city like my aunt's shop. Then if the granddaughter gets a lot of dividends, I will give it to my granddaughter." The ancestor invited a big golden Buddha to come over."

Gao Taijun let her babble, and only concentrated on braiding her hair.

It wasn't until Xiangyu's braid was braided that Gao Taijun found out that Mrs. Li had arrived.

She glanced at Li Shi indifferently, and sent Xiangyu out to play.

Xiangyu took a cautious look at Mrs. Li before obeying her orders to go out.

Gao Taijun took out two boxes from the drawer of the kang table, pushed them in front of Mrs. Li, and said: "There is some gold here, which was left for me by your aunt before she passed away. What use can I be, a lonely old woman? Originally divided into two, I thought one would be given to the younger generation of the Li family and the other to the younger generation of the Cao family. It would not be in vain for the children to honor me. Now I am sorry, you take the box to honor me. Concubine Wang, I beg her to take care of Xiangyu for the sake of being related to the Li family; a box, buy a yard, and arrange it when the Li family members come..."

But Mrs. Li refused to accept it, saying: "Mother, the house, Zhuangzi, and Brother Yong are all prepared, and we will never let them suffer. The daughter will also intercede with the concubine, so you should keep the gold! "

Gao shook his head, and said, "Just take it, I still have the coffin book here, it's not tight." While speaking, he brought the jewelry box over again. There were not many jewelry in it, but it was considered exquisite: "These The envoy went to be pawned, and the money exchanged for it will be brought to your elder brother..."
