Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 77
Chapter 77
After Fan's return, he didn't look for Yun Chuwei immediately, but went to see Yun Chong first.
"Master Hou, what the old lady means is that if our sister Wei wants to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she must guarantee that she can perform at the banquet, otherwise the old lady will not allow her to go."
"Huh!" Yun Chong was very dissatisfied with the old lady's words, "My precious daughter is not a plaything for people to enjoy, let alone go to a banquet to please someone to win favors in exchange for a husband and son-in-law. Why bother to prepare those things?"
Obviously, the old lady's attitude completely aroused Yun Chong's anger.
Fifteen years ago, if she hadn't been stubborn and insisted on sending Wei Wei out, this child would have been able to grow up in the Hou's Mansion since she was a child. Now, in this kind of palace banquet, what talent can't be shown?
The old lady was completely unaware of her own faults, and insisted that it was Yun Chuwei's fault that she couldn't surprise everyone with her talent.
"Don't say that Wei Wei disdains flattery to please anyone, even if she is really talented, we don't have to show it to anyone."
Fan nodded in agreement, "What Hou Ye means is that Wei Wei can attend the palace banquet, but she is not going to perform, right?"
Yun Chong said: "Wei Wei is the daughter of my direct relative. On such occasions, she will naturally show up. As for talent or not, it's up to her to do it voluntarily. We owe her too much, so it doesn't make sense to force her to do everything. Wei Wei is a very individual child, if we force her, it will only annoy her."
Fan once again remembered the time when Yun Chuwei first entered the mansion. She was not as thoughtful as Lord Hou. She always thought that as an elder, she had the right to arrange everything for her. The tighter they got, the more Yun Chuwei became separated from her, and in the end the relationship between mother and daughter froze.
Fortunately, she realized her mistake in time and reined in the precipice, and she was able to seize the opportunity to make amends.
-
When Fan came over, it was already dusk.
"Miss Wei, in a few days it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, and you have to accompany us to the palace for a banquet."
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "If my guess is right, the daughters of the aristocratic families have to take the opportunity to perform at this kind of palace banquet, right?"
"No, no, no!" Fan hurriedly said, "I have discussed with your father, and I will not force you to perform. The reason why I took you there is to let those respectable families in the capital know that you are the descendant of the Dongyang Houfu. Female."
Yun Chu raised his lips slightly, "Last time at the Su family's banquet, I completely disgraced the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, this time it was another palace banquet that could not be sloppy, and my wife asked me to go, aren't you afraid that I will embarrass you again? ?”
"You child." Fan said helplessly: "What shame is not shame, the last time you were humiliated by Su Wushao in public at the Su family, it was all my fault, I didn't think carefully in advance, and failed to take into account your feelings. I wanted to drag you there, but in the end..."
"I don't want to bring up those old sesame seeds and rotten millet." Yun Chuwei interrupted her lightly, "I can go with you about the palace banquet, but as for the performance, there is no need, after all, everyone knows I'm from the countryside, a girl who grew up in the countryside doesn't know how to sing, sing, sing and play, it should be normal, right?"
"That's natural." Fan was not at all dissatisfied with Yun Chuwei's answer.
-
Yun Chong quickly contacted his old friend's son to come and decorate Yun Chuwei's shop.
As the owner of the shop, Yun Chuwei naturally had to supervise it himself.
This time, I went to Hefengyuan to look for Fan Shi to go out of the house, but Fan Shi gave it without saying a word, and told her, "Come back early for lunch."
"it is good."
Yun Chuwei took the pair and walked out with Meizi.
The carriage had already been harnessed, and the driver wore a bamboo hat, which was probably used to shade the sun, and stood aside with lowered eyebrows.
Yun Chuwei didn't sleep well last night, and fell asleep on the back of the carriage as soon as he got into the carriage.
Meizi didn't dare to disturb her, and sat quietly on the twig.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped.
Yun Chuwei was in a light sleep, woke up leisurely, looked at Meizi, "Are you there?"
Meizi lifted the curtain and looked, wondering, "Didn't you agree to go to the shop? Why did you come to Tanxianglou?"
When Yun Chu heard it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurried down with his skirt in hand, frowned and looked at the coachman, "Who the hell are you?"
No wonder she felt that something was wrong when she first went out, but now she realizes that the problem lies with the coachman.
From the time of departure until now, Yun Chuwei hadn't seen what the coachman looked like, obviously the other party deliberately avoided her sight.
The "coach driver" stretched out his slender fingers that were as beautiful as jade bones, and took off the bamboo hat on his head, and a perfect face that seemed to be carved from the ice and snow of Tianshan Mountain appeared in front of his eyes.
Yun Chuwei almost vomited blood.
"Ninth Master!"
She gritted her teeth angrily, "You..." Why did you come before my eyes again?
Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Su Yan interrupted with a "shh", "Do you want everyone to know that the daughter of the Dongyang Hou Mansion is having a private tryst with Duke Xuan?"
This is clearly a threat!
Yun Chu was so angry that his face flushed red, and he stared at him, "What do you want?"
Su Yan looked at her with a smile, "Today, you are the master and I am your coachman."
This bad taste...
Yun Chuwei was a little speechless.
Last time when she came out to buy mailboxes, he acted as the shopkeeper of the shop, but now he thinks of acting as the driver again. Could it be that one day she wants to enjoy the shade, and he can pretend to be a tree and bury it in the soil?
Yun Chuwei was in a hurry, seeing that he did him a favor last time, he was too lazy to argue with him, so he said with a straight face: "Didn't I ask you to go to Tongji Street? Why did you bring me to Tanxianglou?" ?”
"I have a jug of wine, and it's in private room No. [-]. Since I happened to pass by, I'll go up and get it."
Yun Chu rolled his eyes secretly, Tanxiang Tower and Tongji Street are not in the same way at all, Su Yan took a detour in this way, he clearly came to Tanxiang Tower on purpose.
I really don't know if this person has nothing to do all day long and eats enough to have a "coincidence" with her, but now Yun Chuwei has to admit that without Su Yan, their carriage would not be able to go, Mei Zi Although he knows some kung fu, he came from a small place like Xinghua Village in Qingyang County. He has never ridden a horse in his life, let alone drive a carriage.
Yun Chuwei can, but she is a rich lady, she can't drive a car to show off in the market, can she?
After much deliberation, he could only wait for Su Yan to come back.
He moved quickly, and it didn't take long for him to walk down with a jar of wine in his arms.
When it got closer, Yun Chu tilted his nose slightly and sniffed lightly, "It turned out to be the Yutuanchun we drank together last time. Didn't you only get three altars?"
Su Yan said: "I only got three jars, one jar to honor Yue... your father died, and the second jar was drunk that day, this is the last jar."
"Giving it to me?" Yun Chuwei's eyes lit up. Not everyone can have the opportunity to taste the imperial wine specially drunk by the emperor. When Su Li was invited to Tanxianglou for dinner last time, Su Yan happened to come in holding the wine , she was lucky enough to taste a glass, it really is a good wine.
"Wedding wine, do you want it?" Su Yan asked with a smile.
Yun Chuwei's face darkened immediately, he snorted softly, and dragged Meizi, who was still in a petrified state, into the carriage.
Su Yan handed Yutuanchun to Xiao Ji who had been following him all along, and told him: "Be sure to hand over the wine to Master Hou to hold him back."
"Master Jiu, don't worry, this subordinate will not disgrace the mission."
on the carriage.
"Girl, girl, the person who drives the carriage for us is the Duke of the country, and the servants are not dazzled, right?"
Yun Chuwei said reluctantly: "Yes."
If he had known that it was Su Yan who was driving the car, he would not sit in the car if he killed her.
"Oh my God!" Mei Zi exclaimed, "That's Master Su Jiu, he actually, actually drove the carriage for our master and servant, it's incredible."
Yun Chuwei said indifferently: "Perhaps Master Jiu has enjoyed a lot of blessings, and he is full of food, so he has a special habit of liking to change clothes and serving people."
Su Yan, who was driving the carriage outside, heard everything without missing a word, and curled his lips without saying a word.
He does have hobbies, and he only serves the hobbies of his future wife.
-
It was already an hour after the carriage arrived at the shop on Tongji Street.
Su Yan carefully put the pedals on the place where he got off the carriage.
Seeing Yun Chuwei when he came down, he was taken aback for a moment.
Su Yan stood aside, taking all her facial expressions into his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Yun Chuwei was uncomfortably stared at by him, frowned, and issued a warning, "I don't know what the purpose of Jiuye following us here today, but since we've already arrived, please leave your own place for a while. Lu, stop following me."
Su Yan casually raised his head and glanced at the shop that was being renovated not far in front of him, and said leisurely: "I heard that my silly nephew spent all his savings in the past 20 years to buy this shop for a beautiful woman. Uncle Jiu, I think it is very necessary for me to come and investigate, whether this shop is worth the tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Su Yan actually found out so quickly that Su Li bought this shop for her?
All Yun Chuwei's words were blocked in his throat.
Su Li didn't know that she was Yun Chuwei, but Su Yan knew it very well. If Su Li knew the truth about this matter, Su Li would definitely not let her go, so wouldn't she be killed? worry?
After calming down, Yun Chuwei's originally displeased expression immediately eased down, and he smiled a little softly, "Jiuye is a distinguished guest, you can inspect it however you want, come whenever you want, Welcome to my shop anytime."
As a actress with superb acting skills, switching roles at any time is her strong point.
For example, one second she was still gnashing her teeth at his scoundrel, the next moment, she could temporarily bow her head out of consideration of her own interests and act submissive.
There is no sense of disobedience in the depth of the play.
Su Yan raised his eyebrows, "Is this true?"
"Of course, of course." Yun Chu said with a smile.
Su Yan's eyes flickered, "Girl, the contrast between the front and the back is really... jaw-dropping."
Knowing that his own interests were threatened, he immediately made the most sensible choice, really as cunning as a little fox.
Yun Chu smiled but said nothing, but cursed in his heart: If you bastard didn't know my identity, do you think I would be willing to be with you?
Listening to the two talking, Mei Zi wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud, her little face turned blue from holding back.
Su Yan was dressed as a coachman today, so he couldn't enter the shop in front of Yun Chuwei, his master, and put on a bamboo hat to ensure that no one would recognize him easily. He followed Yun Chuwei and Meizi, walking gracefully and slowly .
Although the decorator was found by Yun Chong, in order not to let Su Li see, Yun Chong himself did not show up in person, but sat in the teahouse opposite to drink tea. His position is next to the window, and he can see it when he glances down. It showed the scene where Su Yan and his precious daughter entered the shop one after the other.
"Stinky boy!"
Yun Chong slapped the table and got up, ready to go downstairs to repair his disobedient little apprentice, but he opened the door of the box, and saw Xiao Ji walking towards him with a smile in his arms.
"Master Hou, where are you going?"
Yun Chong stared straight at Yutuanchun in his arms, then looked away in an instant, coughed, put his hands behind his back, and said solemnly: "I'm going to go home."
"Jiu Ye said, this is the last Jade Tuan Chun." Xiao Ji knew that Yun Chong was lying, but he didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "Specially reserved for Lord Hou."
Yun Chong immediately put away his thoughts of coveting the altar of fine wine, without squinting, he looked quite serious, "Does Ben Hou look like he can be bought with a jar of wine?" After a pause, "At least Two altars."
The corners of Xiao Ji's mouth twitched fiercely, secretly thinking that his Jiu Ye was really good at predicting things, Jiu Ye knew that Hou Ye was supervising the decoration of the shop on Tongji Street, and he wanted to play some kind of driver to get close to Wei girl, and he was afraid that Hou Ye would do something bad. Son, so I plan to buy it with wine.
Jiuye also expected that a jar of Jade Tuanchun would probably not be able to bribe Lord Hou, so he asked him to prepare another jar.
Xiao Ji chuckled, "In addition, a jar of Lansheng wine brewed by Master Jiu himself."
Yun Chong's eyes lit up, "Deal!"
The wine made by Su Yan is a must, but it is a pity that in recent years, the master and the apprentice have been separated from the north and the south, and it is rare to meet each other, so he hasn't drunk the wine made by the young apprentice for a long time.
Xiao Ji carried Yutuanchun into Yunchong's box and put it on the table, and soon fetched the Lansheng wine brewed by Su Yan himself.
Yun Chong has long been bewitched by these two jars of rare fine wine, so he never imagined that his daughter was followed by a wolf.
-
Yun Chuwei walked around the shop twice, and the people Yun Chong invited were really good, and the decoration technology basically met her requirements. Seeing that there was no problem, she explained a few words and was about to leave.
Just when he walked outside the door, he saw Su Li coming here with a folding fan.
Knowing that he couldn't hide, Yun Chuwei simply stopped hiding and stood still.
"Xiaoxiao?"
Seeing her, Su Li became energetic and said excitedly: "My subordinates came out to do some business, and just saw you coming to the shop, and reported it to me when I got back. At first I didn't believe it, so I wanted to come and see for myself. it's here."
Yun Chu smiled politely, "Please trouble yourselves to make a trip, I'm really embarrassed."
"Xiaoxiao, don't say that." Su Li had the intention to come to see her, but how could he hear this, "You don't even know, I can..."
"I miss you" before he could say the words, a heavy cough came from behind Yun Chuwei.
Su Li turned her head to look, and was immediately dumbfounded, "Uncle Jiu! Why are you here? No, why are you with Xiaoxiao and wearing such strange clothes?"
Yun Chu gave a slight "uh" and explained: "I just came to the capital not long ago, and I don't go out much on weekdays. I was a little lost. When I came here just now, I happened to meet Master Jiu, so I wronged him to help me guide the way."
The suspicion in Su Li's heart subsided a little, "I see."
He just said, how could someone like Uncle Jiu, who has never been close to women, have thoughts on Xiaoxiao? It turned out that he really thought too much.
"By the way, how is the decoration of the shop?" Su Li asked.
Yun Chuwei said: "It's just started, but everything is going smoothly."
"That's good." Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could please this woman, he would be willing to spend no matter how much money he had.
"Then are you free today? How about we go to the Tanxianglou for a drink?" Su Li asked again.
Yun Chu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Su Yan who was standing next to her out of the corner of his eye, cleared his throat and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it today, I have to see a client later."
Su Li was a little disappointed, "Then when will you have time?"
"I'm not sure." Yun Chuwei said truthfully, "I've been very busy recently, and I don't have time to spare. If you have something important to do, Young Master, you might as well just say it here!"
"I..." Su Li scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed in front of Uncle Jiu.
"Is there any embarrassment?" Yun Chu asked slightly.
"Not really." Su Li originally wanted to ask her if she would marry him, but with Uncle Jiu present, how could he have the nerve to say so? If you speak, you will be scolded by Uncle Jiu in a while.
Thinking about the consequences, Su Li thinks it's better to forget it, anyway, there are still opportunities in the future, and she doesn't care about this moment.
"I just think that we haven't seen each other for so long, so I want to treat you to dinner." After adding the rest of the words, Su Li glanced at Su Yan, seeing that Su Yan's expression was normal, she took a deep breath.
If it was an official lady, Su Li would definitely not dare to make such a rude request, but Yun Chuwei's current identity is just a businessman who can show his face, so he speaks a little loudly.
Yun Chuwei didn't care too much, and said falsely and submissively: "It's rare for the young master to have such kindness. If the young girl is free someday, she will definitely be the host herself, and invite the young master to have a drink."
Su Li's eyes brightened, "As long as the girl is free, it doesn't matter who is in charge."
Su Yan opened his mouth at the right time, and looked at Su Li, "You have been out for so long, you still don't want to go back?"
Su Li shrank her neck and said bitterly: "Uncle Jiu, I just came out, why are you thinking of driving me home?"
Su Yan looked indifferent, "I heard that your fiancée has changed, so I don't want to go back and find out? In a few days, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held, don't even know who your fiancée is, and you will lose your embarrassment when the time comes. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to be kind."
Su Li's face changed drastically.
Yun Chuwei blinked pretending to be puzzled, "My lord actually has a fiancée?"
There was a hint of sourness in the tone intentionally, making Su Li mistakenly think that she was jealous.
Su Li glared at Su Yan secretly, describing her anxiety for a while, but no matter how she explained it, she couldn't explain it.
"Xiaoxiao, Uncle Jiu was joking with me, there is no such thing, don't get me wrong."
Yun Chuwei let out an "oh" in disappointment, and said sullenly, "When the young master gets married, I will come to accompany the ceremony."
After hearing this, Su Li felt as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. In desperation, she pulled Su Yan aside and said in a low voice, "Uncle Jiu, why don't you lose face at all in front of Xiaoxiao?" Won't you leave it to me?"
Su Yan raised his eyebrows: "Face?"
"Yes!"
Su Yan said blankly: "I'll give it to you, do you have a place to put it?"
"..."
Su Li couldn't resist Su Yan's venomous words, "Nephew means, you clearly know that Xiao Xiaogang has a crush on me, can you stop mentioning my bad marriage in front of her, I'm afraid she will get angry. "
Su Yan smiled slightly, "You really think too much." How could his woman have a crush on Su Li, a yellow-haired boy?Simply fantastic.
Naturally, Su Li couldn't hear the meaning behind Su Yan's words, "To be honest with Uncle Jiu, I saw my fiancée at the banquet that day, and she gave me a terrible impression. Although there is imperial decree to oppress, the person I want to marry is It's Xiaoxiao."
"You want to defy the decree openly?" Su Yan poked his wound mercilessly, "It's about the survival of the Su family, and as your elder, I seem to have to take care of it."
Su Li frowned, "Can you give me some time?"
He always wanted to give Xiaoxiao an explanation.
At first, he wanted to take her as a concubine, but now it seems that he has wronged her. No matter whether Yun Chuwei or Yun Jingshu is married to the Yun family, they will definitely compete with Xiaoxiao. He doesn't want to see Xiaoxiao alone and helpless Scenes of being bullied.
"You want to marry her with three letters and six rituals?" Su Yan asked.
"Of course I want to." Su Yan pursed her lips, suddenly changed her mind, and hit Su Yan's head with her mind.
"Uncle Jiu, you are a powerful minister, and you are deeply favored by the emperor. The emperor will definitely have to consider what you say, right?"
Su Yan has already guessed his thoughts, "Could it be that you want me to go to the emperor and say a few words to help you annul the marriage, and then you can justly marry this girl Yun?"
Su Li's eyes were shining, and she nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean."
Zijin was the first person who made his heart flutter. It's a pity that she was so unlucky that she couldn't wait for his eight-carrying sedan chair. Now that she finally met someone with similar appearance and charm, he didn't want to miss it again.
"Uncle Jiu, just help me, okay?"
Su Yan's eyes moved, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Okay, I will find a chance to speak to the emperor."
Su Li was so excited that it was hard to express, she just grabbed Su Yan's arm tightly to express her gratitude.
Su Yan asked: "Then can you go back now?"
"Ah?" Su Li couldn't react, "Why, why?"
Su Yan said succinctly, "Before you divorced, the Yun family was your fiancée. If you let the family know that you are messing around outside, don't blame me for not interceding for you."
Su Li's complexion changed again, she considered again and again, and nodded, "Uncle Jiu is more considerate, so I'll go back right away, oh yes, Xiaoxiao said that she gets lost easily, and I'm afraid I will have to ask Uncle Jiu to help me see her off later. I'm going back, otherwise I won't worry about changing someone else."
"You are my nephew, so it's only right to help you with this favor." Su Yan readily agreed.
Su Li finally felt relieved, turned around and explained a few words to Yun Chuwei before leaving in a hurry.
Looking at the back of Su Li going away, Yun Chu was slightly puzzled, and glanced at Su Yan, "What method did Master Jiu use to make him leave?"
Su Yan answered concisely and neatly, "Attacking the heart is the first thing."
Yun Chu curled his lips slightly, not wanting to mention Su Li again, and walked outside.
"Are you going back?" Su Yan followed behind her, put on a bamboo hat, and became a low-key "driver" again.
"I want to meet someone." Yun Chuwei stopped, counting the time, there should be a letter from Lu Xiuyuan.
"Who?" Su Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold. She just came to the capital, how could she know so many people?
Didn't she ever think that, except for him, all the other men in the capital are wolves, tigers and leopards?
Why doesn't she have any safety awareness at all?
"Forget it, I'll ask Meizi to inquire first." Yun Chuwei beckoned to Meizi, and whispered a few words in her ear.
After Meizi nodded, she went towards Biyuzhuang.
Yun Chu turned his head slightly, looked at Su Yan, "I'm going to go back home, if Master Jiu is fine, then..." Go back!
Before he finished speaking, Su Yan picked it up at the right time, "No trouble, after all, I'm just the girl's driver today, and I should take you back home."
The corner of Yun Chuwei's mouth twitched.
Did she say that she would trouble him to drive her home?
In front of this person, everything he said was justified.
Yun Chuwei didn't bother to argue, and stepped on the pedals to get on the carriage.
Su Yan skillfully drove the carriage, and brought her back to Dongyang Hou Mansion safely.
For the Hou Mansion, Su Yan was a foreigner, and Yun Chuwei didn't dare to let him into the mansion for a cup of tea, so he simply thanked him and entered the corner gate.
After watching Yun Chuwei go in, Su Yan left.
When he returned to Duke Xuan's mansion, Xiao Ji had been waiting for a long time.
"Jiuye." Xiao Ji came up to greet him, and asked with a smile: "How are you getting along with Miss Wei today?"
Su Yan rubbed his eyebrows, "If there is no Su Li, I believe it will be more enjoyable."
Xiao Ji sighed, "Fifth Young Master is Jiu Ye's nephew after all, and the old lady's treasure. No matter how angry you are, you can't do anything to him!"
"On the bright side, of course we can't do anything to him." Su Yan said.
Xiao Ji asked curiously: "What about in the dark?"
"He asked me to do me a favor before, asking me to go to the emperor to intercede and call off his marriage with the Yun family."
Xiao Ji became nervous.
"I promise."
Xiao Ji was dumbfounded, what?Master Jiu agreed to help the Fifth Young Master get rid of the engagement?
"I will go to see the emperor. As for what to say in front of the emperor, it's all up to me." The corner of Su Yan's mouth curled into a sneer, and if he dared to think of his wife, he had to do it. Prepare yourself for bad luck.
Xiao Ji finally understood, co-author Jiu Ye deliberately agreed, dug a hole and waited for Fifth Young Master to jump down!
-
Not long after Yun Chuwei returned to Xiangzhang Pavilion, Mei Zi came back, "Girl, the slaves have inquired about it, and the shopkeeper of Biyu Makeup said that the Empress Dowager's birthday will be soon, and the women in the palace are in urgent need of a batch of powder makeup products. Recently, I have been busy with this matter, regarding our hair oil, the Young Master has sent people to Jiangnan to buy tea seeds, and it may have to wait for a while."
Yun Chu shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I just want to inquire about the progress. If he has something to do, he should take care of himself first. After all, we've just started working together. It's just a verbal agreement with him, not a signed contract. As a long-term partner, I am not that important to their Lu family."
Mei Zi said: "Young lady is really amazing, she can even get acquainted with such a big man as the Young Master."
Yun Chuwei thought for a while, "Is he very powerful?"
Mei Zi nodded hastily, "I have heard the little maids gossip in private, saying that this mysterious young master is the only heir of Lu's family, and his biological mother died early. My sister, not to mention concubines, who either can’t give birth, or give birth to a girl, so Master Lu’s step-room and those concubines in the backyard all treat Young Master Lu as a darling, eat Afraid of choking on food, afraid of choking on saliva, each of them treats himself as a servant girl, trying his best to please him, for fear that if he is not thoughtful, he will be neglected."
"So that's how it is." Yun Chuwei suddenly realized that Lu Xiuyuan was the son of Master Lu's original spouse, but because he was the only heir in Master Lu's backyard, Master Lu naturally regarded him as a treasure, and his stepmother and aunts would always be in the limelight Yes, they knew that pleasing Lu Xiuyuan was tantamount to pleasing Mr. Lu, so they made Lu Xiuyuan their ancestors one by one.
"One is a legend in the business world, and the other is a military minister. Who is the best of these two?"
Meizi wondered, "What is the girl talking about?"
"Oh, what I mean is, who do you think is better than Young Master Lu and Master Su Jiu?"
"Of course it's Master Jiu!" Mei Zi said with a smile without even thinking about it, "Master Jiu is the youngest minister in Nanliang's history who was promoted to Duke without being a noble. In addition to the title, he also has military power and participation in political power. Young Master Lu Although young and promising, he is doing business in the palace, but in the end, he is just a businessman, how can a businessman compare with Jiu Ye who has both military power and political participation?"
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "When did you know so much? You also know about military power and political power, okay little girl, make some progress."
Mei Zi blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Your servant, I heard it from the son of a family in the mansion, but in fact they don't understand, maybe they heard it from a corner!"
"Forget it, let's not mention him." Yun Chu changed the topic slightly, and asked again: "I asked you to monitor the movements of Yun Jingshu and Yun Xueyao these few days, how is it?"
Meizi whispered: "The third girl seems to be determined to marry into the Su family. She has been fasting and chanting scriptures in the small Buddhist hall for the past few days. Even the old lady has difficulty seeing her. As for the fourth girl, the slaves are watching her." She has been in a good mood these past few days, and I don't know what good things happened to her."
Yun Chuwei sneered inwardly, Yun Jingshu was not hardened, but chilled, presumably she was hurt badly by the third prince.
After all, if a woman sees a man she likes and asks her to meet another woman at the same time, and that woman is no one else, but her cousin who lives in the same compound as her.
Just imagine how broken she must be?
No matter how angry Yun Jingshu was, she would never dare to say no to the third prince, let alone do something to him, all the grievances and unwillingness, she could only hold back by herself.
To make her angry enough to say that she is willing to marry into the Su family, it seems that she is very angry!
Yun Chuwei was very satisfied with his killing two birds with one stone, which not only made Yun Jingshu give up on the third prince and marry into the Su family, but also lured Yun Xueyao into taking the bait.
It is true that the third prince never wrote a letter to Yun Xueyao, but Yun Xueyao just appeared at the time when he and Yun Jingshu were meeting. He couldn't wait to see Huang Shoufu, the grandfather behind Yun Xueyao.
Therefore, even if the letter was not written by him, he would definitely admit that it was written by him.
Because in this way, it is very easy to win Yun Xueyao's favor, it seems that he is planning to pave the way for himself.
According to Yun Chuwei's speculation, the third prince will not give up on Yun Jingshu easily. After all, he has been plotting for so long. Before getting the support of Dongyang Hou, he will continue to create opportunities for himself, but at the same time, he will not Abandoned Yun Xueyao.
He Lianyu planned to grab it with both hands, even if he lost one end, he still had the other end available.
Yun Chu sneered slightly.
Yun Xueyao, this stupid woman, really thought that the third prince had a crush on her. She only wanted to have the grandfather of the first assistant behind her. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but if there is any turmoil in the Huang family, For the third prince, Yun Xueyao is completely useless, and there will be hard times waiting for her in the future.
"Does the girl still need servants to continue to monitor?" Meizi's voice brought Yun Chuwei back from his thoughts.
Yun Chu shook his head slightly, "No need, the surveillance time is too long, and it's easy to be discovered by others. I managed to show my prestige in front of the old lady, but I can't easily let her pinch my mistakes and wantonly humiliate me."
-
The two masters and servants chatted about other topics again, and not long after, Qiuyan, Fan's eldest maid, came and bowed to Yun Chuwei respectfully, "Miss, the eldest lady asked you to go to her courtyard Eat."
Without saying a word, Yun Chuwei followed Qiuyan to Hefeng Garden.
Fan's had already arranged for food to be eaten, and it was served as soon as Yun Chuwei entered.
Because she couldn't talk at the dinner table, Yun Chuwei didn't ask Fan Shi if she was here for something, but just quietly chewed the food Qiu Yubu brought.
After the meal, the maids served tea, Fan took a sip, and then slowly said: "Miss Wei, I cleaned up the warehouse this morning and found some fashionable fabrics, they are Sujin, you never like those It's a bright and bright color, I expect you will like it, so I kept it, there are several styles, you can choose it yourself, so that I can have someone cut it and make clothes for you."
Yun Chuwei was a little dazed, "Didn't Madam just ask someone to make several new clothes for me before going to the banquet in the Su Mansion?"
Fan smiled awkwardly: "It was all done according to your grandmother's request. She thought you were dressed too plainly. When you went to the Su's house, although you wore a gorgeous dress according to her wishes, I I know, you don’t like it in your heart, since you don’t like it, then don’t force it, just choose what you like to make. Come, the material is in the basket, you can see for yourself, if there is something you like.”
There is an exquisite bamboo basket on Fan's right, and the cloth is placed in it.
Yun Chuwei walked over and took a closer look. There were seven colors in total, all fresh and elegant.
"Wearing the Sujin material on the body, it will not lose the luxury and nobleness, but it will not be too gaudy and eye-catching. Miss Wei's temperament is refined, so it is suitable for wearing Sujin material."
Fan explained from the side.
Yun Chu smiled politely, and pointed to the three pieces of cloth in the basket, "I really like these three colors, and Mrs. Lao will worry about it."
"As long as I can get you to like it, it takes a little effort, and I'm happy." Fan immediately took out the cloth selected by Yun Chuwei and asked Qiuyan to hug her and send it to the embroiderer.
Ever since he swore to the sky in front of Yun Chong that day, Fan's attitude towards her has indeed slowly changed.
Yun Chu remained calm, after all, it was Fan's biological mother who owed the original owner, Fan's current attitude is barely on the right track, there are still many days to come, and there will be opportunities for her to make up.
-
Before I knew it, the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet arrived.
Yun Jingshu finished her fasting and chanting, and returned to her yard from the small Buddhist hall.
Xiuju and the other maidservants dared not hesitate to bathe and change her clothes immediately.
Yun Jingshu glanced at the dress in the tray and frowned, "The color is too bright, change to a plain one."
Xiuju was in a dilemma immediately, "The clothes for the palace banquet were made in the past few days. The two sets of clothes of the third girl are similar, and there are not all plain ones, but they have been worn before."
"A plain color one, and a brand new one?" Yun Jingshu asked.
"Yes."
Yun Jingshu pinched her eyebrows.
Generally, for the daughter of an official, it is a great honor to receive a post from the palace, so the rules of going to the palace banquet are also extremely strict, and only newly cut clothes can be worn, which shows respect for the face of the royal family.
Yun Jingshu used to enter the palace with Mrs. Yun. Every set of her clothes was carefully crafted, and she would never collide with other people. Therefore, most of the ladies in the palace have the impression that those daughters of aristocratic families who love to compare It's even more impressive.
Yun Jingshu didn't like the clothes she made this time, but she couldn't wear the clothes she wore before to the banquet.
"I remember that there are several bolts of plain brocade in the storeroom. Has your wife taken them out to make clothes for someone?"
Xiuju said: "For those batches of materials, the eldest wife first selected for Miss Wei, and the rest were locked into the warehouse."
Glancing at Yun Jingshu, Xiuju said again: "The eldest lady said that those Sujin suit Miss Wei's temperament very well."
Speaking of Yun Chuwei, Yun Jingshu thought that when she came back from the Su family's banquet that day, she changed from her usual cowardice, straightened her waist, and showed off her might in front of the old lady. Even a person with a vicious mouth like the old lady was blocked by her. I was speechless.
During this period of time, Yun Jingshu reflected a lot in the small Buddhist hall.
She figured out why Yun Chuwei had such a big contrast between the front and back, because Yun Chuwei has been disguising herself all the time since the day she entered the Hou's mansion, and even, at the Su family banquet, her nervousness and forgetting words were all fakes The purpose of this is to make Su Li completely dislike her, make Mrs. Su disappointed in her, and thus shift the target to her, Yun Jingshu.
How cunning is her sister, who is a compatriot, and she has deceived everyone.
Although she was willing to marry into the Su family, she would definitely pay back all the pain Yun Chuwei caused her!
Xiuju urged: "Girl, hurry up and choose clothes, the time to enter the palace is almost here!"
Yun Jingshu came back to her senses, she was no longer in the mood to choose clothes, "Then don't change, just wear this set."
It is said that a woman is someone who pleases herself, she even has a fiancé, not to mention a man she doesn't like, if she dresses up now, who will show it to her?
From now on, she will focus more on revenge.
Yun Xueyao, He Lianyu, Yun Chuwei, none of you can escape!
Suddenly I feel that the progress is a bit slow, so I go to the second watch, and then I can see Master Jiu and Wei Wei agreeing to get married as soon as possible!
(End of this chapter)
After Fan's return, he didn't look for Yun Chuwei immediately, but went to see Yun Chong first.
"Master Hou, what the old lady means is that if our sister Wei wants to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she must guarantee that she can perform at the banquet, otherwise the old lady will not allow her to go."
"Huh!" Yun Chong was very dissatisfied with the old lady's words, "My precious daughter is not a plaything for people to enjoy, let alone go to a banquet to please someone to win favors in exchange for a husband and son-in-law. Why bother to prepare those things?"
Obviously, the old lady's attitude completely aroused Yun Chong's anger.
Fifteen years ago, if she hadn't been stubborn and insisted on sending Wei Wei out, this child would have been able to grow up in the Hou's Mansion since she was a child. Now, in this kind of palace banquet, what talent can't be shown?
The old lady was completely unaware of her own faults, and insisted that it was Yun Chuwei's fault that she couldn't surprise everyone with her talent.
"Don't say that Wei Wei disdains flattery to please anyone, even if she is really talented, we don't have to show it to anyone."
Fan nodded in agreement, "What Hou Ye means is that Wei Wei can attend the palace banquet, but she is not going to perform, right?"
Yun Chong said: "Wei Wei is the daughter of my direct relative. On such occasions, she will naturally show up. As for talent or not, it's up to her to do it voluntarily. We owe her too much, so it doesn't make sense to force her to do everything. Wei Wei is a very individual child, if we force her, it will only annoy her."
Fan once again remembered the time when Yun Chuwei first entered the mansion. She was not as thoughtful as Lord Hou. She always thought that as an elder, she had the right to arrange everything for her. The tighter they got, the more Yun Chuwei became separated from her, and in the end the relationship between mother and daughter froze.
Fortunately, she realized her mistake in time and reined in the precipice, and she was able to seize the opportunity to make amends.
-
When Fan came over, it was already dusk.
"Miss Wei, in a few days it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, and you have to accompany us to the palace for a banquet."
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "If my guess is right, the daughters of the aristocratic families have to take the opportunity to perform at this kind of palace banquet, right?"
"No, no, no!" Fan hurriedly said, "I have discussed with your father, and I will not force you to perform. The reason why I took you there is to let those respectable families in the capital know that you are the descendant of the Dongyang Houfu. Female."
Yun Chu raised his lips slightly, "Last time at the Su family's banquet, I completely disgraced the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, this time it was another palace banquet that could not be sloppy, and my wife asked me to go, aren't you afraid that I will embarrass you again? ?”
"You child." Fan said helplessly: "What shame is not shame, the last time you were humiliated by Su Wushao in public at the Su family, it was all my fault, I didn't think carefully in advance, and failed to take into account your feelings. I wanted to drag you there, but in the end..."
"I don't want to bring up those old sesame seeds and rotten millet." Yun Chuwei interrupted her lightly, "I can go with you about the palace banquet, but as for the performance, there is no need, after all, everyone knows I'm from the countryside, a girl who grew up in the countryside doesn't know how to sing, sing, sing and play, it should be normal, right?"
"That's natural." Fan was not at all dissatisfied with Yun Chuwei's answer.
-
Yun Chong quickly contacted his old friend's son to come and decorate Yun Chuwei's shop.
As the owner of the shop, Yun Chuwei naturally had to supervise it himself.
This time, I went to Hefengyuan to look for Fan Shi to go out of the house, but Fan Shi gave it without saying a word, and told her, "Come back early for lunch."
"it is good."
Yun Chuwei took the pair and walked out with Meizi.
The carriage had already been harnessed, and the driver wore a bamboo hat, which was probably used to shade the sun, and stood aside with lowered eyebrows.
Yun Chuwei didn't sleep well last night, and fell asleep on the back of the carriage as soon as he got into the carriage.
Meizi didn't dare to disturb her, and sat quietly on the twig.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped.
Yun Chuwei was in a light sleep, woke up leisurely, looked at Meizi, "Are you there?"
Meizi lifted the curtain and looked, wondering, "Didn't you agree to go to the shop? Why did you come to Tanxianglou?"
When Yun Chu heard it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurried down with his skirt in hand, frowned and looked at the coachman, "Who the hell are you?"
No wonder she felt that something was wrong when she first went out, but now she realizes that the problem lies with the coachman.
From the time of departure until now, Yun Chuwei hadn't seen what the coachman looked like, obviously the other party deliberately avoided her sight.
The "coach driver" stretched out his slender fingers that were as beautiful as jade bones, and took off the bamboo hat on his head, and a perfect face that seemed to be carved from the ice and snow of Tianshan Mountain appeared in front of his eyes.
Yun Chuwei almost vomited blood.
"Ninth Master!"
She gritted her teeth angrily, "You..." Why did you come before my eyes again?
Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Su Yan interrupted with a "shh", "Do you want everyone to know that the daughter of the Dongyang Hou Mansion is having a private tryst with Duke Xuan?"
This is clearly a threat!
Yun Chu was so angry that his face flushed red, and he stared at him, "What do you want?"
Su Yan looked at her with a smile, "Today, you are the master and I am your coachman."
This bad taste...
Yun Chuwei was a little speechless.
Last time when she came out to buy mailboxes, he acted as the shopkeeper of the shop, but now he thinks of acting as the driver again. Could it be that one day she wants to enjoy the shade, and he can pretend to be a tree and bury it in the soil?
Yun Chuwei was in a hurry, seeing that he did him a favor last time, he was too lazy to argue with him, so he said with a straight face: "Didn't I ask you to go to Tongji Street? Why did you bring me to Tanxianglou?" ?”
"I have a jug of wine, and it's in private room No. [-]. Since I happened to pass by, I'll go up and get it."
Yun Chu rolled his eyes secretly, Tanxiang Tower and Tongji Street are not in the same way at all, Su Yan took a detour in this way, he clearly came to Tanxiang Tower on purpose.
I really don't know if this person has nothing to do all day long and eats enough to have a "coincidence" with her, but now Yun Chuwei has to admit that without Su Yan, their carriage would not be able to go, Mei Zi Although he knows some kung fu, he came from a small place like Xinghua Village in Qingyang County. He has never ridden a horse in his life, let alone drive a carriage.
Yun Chuwei can, but she is a rich lady, she can't drive a car to show off in the market, can she?
After much deliberation, he could only wait for Su Yan to come back.
He moved quickly, and it didn't take long for him to walk down with a jar of wine in his arms.
When it got closer, Yun Chu tilted his nose slightly and sniffed lightly, "It turned out to be the Yutuanchun we drank together last time. Didn't you only get three altars?"
Su Yan said: "I only got three jars, one jar to honor Yue... your father died, and the second jar was drunk that day, this is the last jar."
"Giving it to me?" Yun Chuwei's eyes lit up. Not everyone can have the opportunity to taste the imperial wine specially drunk by the emperor. When Su Li was invited to Tanxianglou for dinner last time, Su Yan happened to come in holding the wine , she was lucky enough to taste a glass, it really is a good wine.
"Wedding wine, do you want it?" Su Yan asked with a smile.
Yun Chuwei's face darkened immediately, he snorted softly, and dragged Meizi, who was still in a petrified state, into the carriage.
Su Yan handed Yutuanchun to Xiao Ji who had been following him all along, and told him: "Be sure to hand over the wine to Master Hou to hold him back."
"Master Jiu, don't worry, this subordinate will not disgrace the mission."
on the carriage.
"Girl, girl, the person who drives the carriage for us is the Duke of the country, and the servants are not dazzled, right?"
Yun Chuwei said reluctantly: "Yes."
If he had known that it was Su Yan who was driving the car, he would not sit in the car if he killed her.
"Oh my God!" Mei Zi exclaimed, "That's Master Su Jiu, he actually, actually drove the carriage for our master and servant, it's incredible."
Yun Chuwei said indifferently: "Perhaps Master Jiu has enjoyed a lot of blessings, and he is full of food, so he has a special habit of liking to change clothes and serving people."
Su Yan, who was driving the carriage outside, heard everything without missing a word, and curled his lips without saying a word.
He does have hobbies, and he only serves the hobbies of his future wife.
-
It was already an hour after the carriage arrived at the shop on Tongji Street.
Su Yan carefully put the pedals on the place where he got off the carriage.
Seeing Yun Chuwei when he came down, he was taken aback for a moment.
Su Yan stood aside, taking all her facial expressions into his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Yun Chuwei was uncomfortably stared at by him, frowned, and issued a warning, "I don't know what the purpose of Jiuye following us here today, but since we've already arrived, please leave your own place for a while. Lu, stop following me."
Su Yan casually raised his head and glanced at the shop that was being renovated not far in front of him, and said leisurely: "I heard that my silly nephew spent all his savings in the past 20 years to buy this shop for a beautiful woman. Uncle Jiu, I think it is very necessary for me to come and investigate, whether this shop is worth the tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Su Yan actually found out so quickly that Su Li bought this shop for her?
All Yun Chuwei's words were blocked in his throat.
Su Li didn't know that she was Yun Chuwei, but Su Yan knew it very well. If Su Li knew the truth about this matter, Su Li would definitely not let her go, so wouldn't she be killed? worry?
After calming down, Yun Chuwei's originally displeased expression immediately eased down, and he smiled a little softly, "Jiuye is a distinguished guest, you can inspect it however you want, come whenever you want, Welcome to my shop anytime."
As a actress with superb acting skills, switching roles at any time is her strong point.
For example, one second she was still gnashing her teeth at his scoundrel, the next moment, she could temporarily bow her head out of consideration of her own interests and act submissive.
There is no sense of disobedience in the depth of the play.
Su Yan raised his eyebrows, "Is this true?"
"Of course, of course." Yun Chu said with a smile.
Su Yan's eyes flickered, "Girl, the contrast between the front and the back is really... jaw-dropping."
Knowing that his own interests were threatened, he immediately made the most sensible choice, really as cunning as a little fox.
Yun Chu smiled but said nothing, but cursed in his heart: If you bastard didn't know my identity, do you think I would be willing to be with you?
Listening to the two talking, Mei Zi wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud, her little face turned blue from holding back.
Su Yan was dressed as a coachman today, so he couldn't enter the shop in front of Yun Chuwei, his master, and put on a bamboo hat to ensure that no one would recognize him easily. He followed Yun Chuwei and Meizi, walking gracefully and slowly .
Although the decorator was found by Yun Chong, in order not to let Su Li see, Yun Chong himself did not show up in person, but sat in the teahouse opposite to drink tea. His position is next to the window, and he can see it when he glances down. It showed the scene where Su Yan and his precious daughter entered the shop one after the other.
"Stinky boy!"
Yun Chong slapped the table and got up, ready to go downstairs to repair his disobedient little apprentice, but he opened the door of the box, and saw Xiao Ji walking towards him with a smile in his arms.
"Master Hou, where are you going?"
Yun Chong stared straight at Yutuanchun in his arms, then looked away in an instant, coughed, put his hands behind his back, and said solemnly: "I'm going to go home."
"Jiu Ye said, this is the last Jade Tuan Chun." Xiao Ji knew that Yun Chong was lying, but he didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "Specially reserved for Lord Hou."
Yun Chong immediately put away his thoughts of coveting the altar of fine wine, without squinting, he looked quite serious, "Does Ben Hou look like he can be bought with a jar of wine?" After a pause, "At least Two altars."
The corners of Xiao Ji's mouth twitched fiercely, secretly thinking that his Jiu Ye was really good at predicting things, Jiu Ye knew that Hou Ye was supervising the decoration of the shop on Tongji Street, and he wanted to play some kind of driver to get close to Wei girl, and he was afraid that Hou Ye would do something bad. Son, so I plan to buy it with wine.
Jiuye also expected that a jar of Jade Tuanchun would probably not be able to bribe Lord Hou, so he asked him to prepare another jar.
Xiao Ji chuckled, "In addition, a jar of Lansheng wine brewed by Master Jiu himself."
Yun Chong's eyes lit up, "Deal!"
The wine made by Su Yan is a must, but it is a pity that in recent years, the master and the apprentice have been separated from the north and the south, and it is rare to meet each other, so he hasn't drunk the wine made by the young apprentice for a long time.
Xiao Ji carried Yutuanchun into Yunchong's box and put it on the table, and soon fetched the Lansheng wine brewed by Su Yan himself.
Yun Chong has long been bewitched by these two jars of rare fine wine, so he never imagined that his daughter was followed by a wolf.
-
Yun Chuwei walked around the shop twice, and the people Yun Chong invited were really good, and the decoration technology basically met her requirements. Seeing that there was no problem, she explained a few words and was about to leave.
Just when he walked outside the door, he saw Su Li coming here with a folding fan.
Knowing that he couldn't hide, Yun Chuwei simply stopped hiding and stood still.
"Xiaoxiao?"
Seeing her, Su Li became energetic and said excitedly: "My subordinates came out to do some business, and just saw you coming to the shop, and reported it to me when I got back. At first I didn't believe it, so I wanted to come and see for myself. it's here."
Yun Chu smiled politely, "Please trouble yourselves to make a trip, I'm really embarrassed."
"Xiaoxiao, don't say that." Su Li had the intention to come to see her, but how could he hear this, "You don't even know, I can..."
"I miss you" before he could say the words, a heavy cough came from behind Yun Chuwei.
Su Li turned her head to look, and was immediately dumbfounded, "Uncle Jiu! Why are you here? No, why are you with Xiaoxiao and wearing such strange clothes?"
Yun Chu gave a slight "uh" and explained: "I just came to the capital not long ago, and I don't go out much on weekdays. I was a little lost. When I came here just now, I happened to meet Master Jiu, so I wronged him to help me guide the way."
The suspicion in Su Li's heart subsided a little, "I see."
He just said, how could someone like Uncle Jiu, who has never been close to women, have thoughts on Xiaoxiao? It turned out that he really thought too much.
"By the way, how is the decoration of the shop?" Su Li asked.
Yun Chuwei said: "It's just started, but everything is going smoothly."
"That's good." Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could please this woman, he would be willing to spend no matter how much money he had.
"Then are you free today? How about we go to the Tanxianglou for a drink?" Su Li asked again.
Yun Chu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Su Yan who was standing next to her out of the corner of his eye, cleared his throat and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it today, I have to see a client later."
Su Li was a little disappointed, "Then when will you have time?"
"I'm not sure." Yun Chuwei said truthfully, "I've been very busy recently, and I don't have time to spare. If you have something important to do, Young Master, you might as well just say it here!"
"I..." Su Li scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed in front of Uncle Jiu.
"Is there any embarrassment?" Yun Chu asked slightly.
"Not really." Su Li originally wanted to ask her if she would marry him, but with Uncle Jiu present, how could he have the nerve to say so? If you speak, you will be scolded by Uncle Jiu in a while.
Thinking about the consequences, Su Li thinks it's better to forget it, anyway, there are still opportunities in the future, and she doesn't care about this moment.
"I just think that we haven't seen each other for so long, so I want to treat you to dinner." After adding the rest of the words, Su Li glanced at Su Yan, seeing that Su Yan's expression was normal, she took a deep breath.
If it was an official lady, Su Li would definitely not dare to make such a rude request, but Yun Chuwei's current identity is just a businessman who can show his face, so he speaks a little loudly.
Yun Chuwei didn't care too much, and said falsely and submissively: "It's rare for the young master to have such kindness. If the young girl is free someday, she will definitely be the host herself, and invite the young master to have a drink."
Su Li's eyes brightened, "As long as the girl is free, it doesn't matter who is in charge."
Su Yan opened his mouth at the right time, and looked at Su Li, "You have been out for so long, you still don't want to go back?"
Su Li shrank her neck and said bitterly: "Uncle Jiu, I just came out, why are you thinking of driving me home?"
Su Yan looked indifferent, "I heard that your fiancée has changed, so I don't want to go back and find out? In a few days, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held, don't even know who your fiancée is, and you will lose your embarrassment when the time comes. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to be kind."
Su Li's face changed drastically.
Yun Chuwei blinked pretending to be puzzled, "My lord actually has a fiancée?"
There was a hint of sourness in the tone intentionally, making Su Li mistakenly think that she was jealous.
Su Li glared at Su Yan secretly, describing her anxiety for a while, but no matter how she explained it, she couldn't explain it.
"Xiaoxiao, Uncle Jiu was joking with me, there is no such thing, don't get me wrong."
Yun Chuwei let out an "oh" in disappointment, and said sullenly, "When the young master gets married, I will come to accompany the ceremony."
After hearing this, Su Li felt as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. In desperation, she pulled Su Yan aside and said in a low voice, "Uncle Jiu, why don't you lose face at all in front of Xiaoxiao?" Won't you leave it to me?"
Su Yan raised his eyebrows: "Face?"
"Yes!"
Su Yan said blankly: "I'll give it to you, do you have a place to put it?"
"..."
Su Li couldn't resist Su Yan's venomous words, "Nephew means, you clearly know that Xiao Xiaogang has a crush on me, can you stop mentioning my bad marriage in front of her, I'm afraid she will get angry. "
Su Yan smiled slightly, "You really think too much." How could his woman have a crush on Su Li, a yellow-haired boy?Simply fantastic.
Naturally, Su Li couldn't hear the meaning behind Su Yan's words, "To be honest with Uncle Jiu, I saw my fiancée at the banquet that day, and she gave me a terrible impression. Although there is imperial decree to oppress, the person I want to marry is It's Xiaoxiao."
"You want to defy the decree openly?" Su Yan poked his wound mercilessly, "It's about the survival of the Su family, and as your elder, I seem to have to take care of it."
Su Li frowned, "Can you give me some time?"
He always wanted to give Xiaoxiao an explanation.
At first, he wanted to take her as a concubine, but now it seems that he has wronged her. No matter whether Yun Chuwei or Yun Jingshu is married to the Yun family, they will definitely compete with Xiaoxiao. He doesn't want to see Xiaoxiao alone and helpless Scenes of being bullied.
"You want to marry her with three letters and six rituals?" Su Yan asked.
"Of course I want to." Su Yan pursed her lips, suddenly changed her mind, and hit Su Yan's head with her mind.
"Uncle Jiu, you are a powerful minister, and you are deeply favored by the emperor. The emperor will definitely have to consider what you say, right?"
Su Yan has already guessed his thoughts, "Could it be that you want me to go to the emperor and say a few words to help you annul the marriage, and then you can justly marry this girl Yun?"
Su Li's eyes were shining, and she nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean."
Zijin was the first person who made his heart flutter. It's a pity that she was so unlucky that she couldn't wait for his eight-carrying sedan chair. Now that she finally met someone with similar appearance and charm, he didn't want to miss it again.
"Uncle Jiu, just help me, okay?"
Su Yan's eyes moved, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Okay, I will find a chance to speak to the emperor."
Su Li was so excited that it was hard to express, she just grabbed Su Yan's arm tightly to express her gratitude.
Su Yan asked: "Then can you go back now?"
"Ah?" Su Li couldn't react, "Why, why?"
Su Yan said succinctly, "Before you divorced, the Yun family was your fiancée. If you let the family know that you are messing around outside, don't blame me for not interceding for you."
Su Li's complexion changed again, she considered again and again, and nodded, "Uncle Jiu is more considerate, so I'll go back right away, oh yes, Xiaoxiao said that she gets lost easily, and I'm afraid I will have to ask Uncle Jiu to help me see her off later. I'm going back, otherwise I won't worry about changing someone else."
"You are my nephew, so it's only right to help you with this favor." Su Yan readily agreed.
Su Li finally felt relieved, turned around and explained a few words to Yun Chuwei before leaving in a hurry.
Looking at the back of Su Li going away, Yun Chu was slightly puzzled, and glanced at Su Yan, "What method did Master Jiu use to make him leave?"
Su Yan answered concisely and neatly, "Attacking the heart is the first thing."
Yun Chu curled his lips slightly, not wanting to mention Su Li again, and walked outside.
"Are you going back?" Su Yan followed behind her, put on a bamboo hat, and became a low-key "driver" again.
"I want to meet someone." Yun Chuwei stopped, counting the time, there should be a letter from Lu Xiuyuan.
"Who?" Su Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold. She just came to the capital, how could she know so many people?
Didn't she ever think that, except for him, all the other men in the capital are wolves, tigers and leopards?
Why doesn't she have any safety awareness at all?
"Forget it, I'll ask Meizi to inquire first." Yun Chuwei beckoned to Meizi, and whispered a few words in her ear.
After Meizi nodded, she went towards Biyuzhuang.
Yun Chu turned his head slightly, looked at Su Yan, "I'm going to go back home, if Master Jiu is fine, then..." Go back!
Before he finished speaking, Su Yan picked it up at the right time, "No trouble, after all, I'm just the girl's driver today, and I should take you back home."
The corner of Yun Chuwei's mouth twitched.
Did she say that she would trouble him to drive her home?
In front of this person, everything he said was justified.
Yun Chuwei didn't bother to argue, and stepped on the pedals to get on the carriage.
Su Yan skillfully drove the carriage, and brought her back to Dongyang Hou Mansion safely.
For the Hou Mansion, Su Yan was a foreigner, and Yun Chuwei didn't dare to let him into the mansion for a cup of tea, so he simply thanked him and entered the corner gate.
After watching Yun Chuwei go in, Su Yan left.
When he returned to Duke Xuan's mansion, Xiao Ji had been waiting for a long time.
"Jiuye." Xiao Ji came up to greet him, and asked with a smile: "How are you getting along with Miss Wei today?"
Su Yan rubbed his eyebrows, "If there is no Su Li, I believe it will be more enjoyable."
Xiao Ji sighed, "Fifth Young Master is Jiu Ye's nephew after all, and the old lady's treasure. No matter how angry you are, you can't do anything to him!"
"On the bright side, of course we can't do anything to him." Su Yan said.
Xiao Ji asked curiously: "What about in the dark?"
"He asked me to do me a favor before, asking me to go to the emperor to intercede and call off his marriage with the Yun family."
Xiao Ji became nervous.
"I promise."
Xiao Ji was dumbfounded, what?Master Jiu agreed to help the Fifth Young Master get rid of the engagement?
"I will go to see the emperor. As for what to say in front of the emperor, it's all up to me." The corner of Su Yan's mouth curled into a sneer, and if he dared to think of his wife, he had to do it. Prepare yourself for bad luck.
Xiao Ji finally understood, co-author Jiu Ye deliberately agreed, dug a hole and waited for Fifth Young Master to jump down!
-
Not long after Yun Chuwei returned to Xiangzhang Pavilion, Mei Zi came back, "Girl, the slaves have inquired about it, and the shopkeeper of Biyu Makeup said that the Empress Dowager's birthday will be soon, and the women in the palace are in urgent need of a batch of powder makeup products. Recently, I have been busy with this matter, regarding our hair oil, the Young Master has sent people to Jiangnan to buy tea seeds, and it may have to wait for a while."
Yun Chu shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I just want to inquire about the progress. If he has something to do, he should take care of himself first. After all, we've just started working together. It's just a verbal agreement with him, not a signed contract. As a long-term partner, I am not that important to their Lu family."
Mei Zi said: "Young lady is really amazing, she can even get acquainted with such a big man as the Young Master."
Yun Chuwei thought for a while, "Is he very powerful?"
Mei Zi nodded hastily, "I have heard the little maids gossip in private, saying that this mysterious young master is the only heir of Lu's family, and his biological mother died early. My sister, not to mention concubines, who either can’t give birth, or give birth to a girl, so Master Lu’s step-room and those concubines in the backyard all treat Young Master Lu as a darling, eat Afraid of choking on food, afraid of choking on saliva, each of them treats himself as a servant girl, trying his best to please him, for fear that if he is not thoughtful, he will be neglected."
"So that's how it is." Yun Chuwei suddenly realized that Lu Xiuyuan was the son of Master Lu's original spouse, but because he was the only heir in Master Lu's backyard, Master Lu naturally regarded him as a treasure, and his stepmother and aunts would always be in the limelight Yes, they knew that pleasing Lu Xiuyuan was tantamount to pleasing Mr. Lu, so they made Lu Xiuyuan their ancestors one by one.
"One is a legend in the business world, and the other is a military minister. Who is the best of these two?"
Meizi wondered, "What is the girl talking about?"
"Oh, what I mean is, who do you think is better than Young Master Lu and Master Su Jiu?"
"Of course it's Master Jiu!" Mei Zi said with a smile without even thinking about it, "Master Jiu is the youngest minister in Nanliang's history who was promoted to Duke without being a noble. In addition to the title, he also has military power and participation in political power. Young Master Lu Although young and promising, he is doing business in the palace, but in the end, he is just a businessman, how can a businessman compare with Jiu Ye who has both military power and political participation?"
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "When did you know so much? You also know about military power and political power, okay little girl, make some progress."
Mei Zi blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Your servant, I heard it from the son of a family in the mansion, but in fact they don't understand, maybe they heard it from a corner!"
"Forget it, let's not mention him." Yun Chu changed the topic slightly, and asked again: "I asked you to monitor the movements of Yun Jingshu and Yun Xueyao these few days, how is it?"
Meizi whispered: "The third girl seems to be determined to marry into the Su family. She has been fasting and chanting scriptures in the small Buddhist hall for the past few days. Even the old lady has difficulty seeing her. As for the fourth girl, the slaves are watching her." She has been in a good mood these past few days, and I don't know what good things happened to her."
Yun Chuwei sneered inwardly, Yun Jingshu was not hardened, but chilled, presumably she was hurt badly by the third prince.
After all, if a woman sees a man she likes and asks her to meet another woman at the same time, and that woman is no one else, but her cousin who lives in the same compound as her.
Just imagine how broken she must be?
No matter how angry Yun Jingshu was, she would never dare to say no to the third prince, let alone do something to him, all the grievances and unwillingness, she could only hold back by herself.
To make her angry enough to say that she is willing to marry into the Su family, it seems that she is very angry!
Yun Chuwei was very satisfied with his killing two birds with one stone, which not only made Yun Jingshu give up on the third prince and marry into the Su family, but also lured Yun Xueyao into taking the bait.
It is true that the third prince never wrote a letter to Yun Xueyao, but Yun Xueyao just appeared at the time when he and Yun Jingshu were meeting. He couldn't wait to see Huang Shoufu, the grandfather behind Yun Xueyao.
Therefore, even if the letter was not written by him, he would definitely admit that it was written by him.
Because in this way, it is very easy to win Yun Xueyao's favor, it seems that he is planning to pave the way for himself.
According to Yun Chuwei's speculation, the third prince will not give up on Yun Jingshu easily. After all, he has been plotting for so long. Before getting the support of Dongyang Hou, he will continue to create opportunities for himself, but at the same time, he will not Abandoned Yun Xueyao.
He Lianyu planned to grab it with both hands, even if he lost one end, he still had the other end available.
Yun Chu sneered slightly.
Yun Xueyao, this stupid woman, really thought that the third prince had a crush on her. She only wanted to have the grandfather of the first assistant behind her. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but if there is any turmoil in the Huang family, For the third prince, Yun Xueyao is completely useless, and there will be hard times waiting for her in the future.
"Does the girl still need servants to continue to monitor?" Meizi's voice brought Yun Chuwei back from his thoughts.
Yun Chu shook his head slightly, "No need, the surveillance time is too long, and it's easy to be discovered by others. I managed to show my prestige in front of the old lady, but I can't easily let her pinch my mistakes and wantonly humiliate me."
-
The two masters and servants chatted about other topics again, and not long after, Qiuyan, Fan's eldest maid, came and bowed to Yun Chuwei respectfully, "Miss, the eldest lady asked you to go to her courtyard Eat."
Without saying a word, Yun Chuwei followed Qiuyan to Hefeng Garden.
Fan's had already arranged for food to be eaten, and it was served as soon as Yun Chuwei entered.
Because she couldn't talk at the dinner table, Yun Chuwei didn't ask Fan Shi if she was here for something, but just quietly chewed the food Qiu Yubu brought.
After the meal, the maids served tea, Fan took a sip, and then slowly said: "Miss Wei, I cleaned up the warehouse this morning and found some fashionable fabrics, they are Sujin, you never like those It's a bright and bright color, I expect you will like it, so I kept it, there are several styles, you can choose it yourself, so that I can have someone cut it and make clothes for you."
Yun Chuwei was a little dazed, "Didn't Madam just ask someone to make several new clothes for me before going to the banquet in the Su Mansion?"
Fan smiled awkwardly: "It was all done according to your grandmother's request. She thought you were dressed too plainly. When you went to the Su's house, although you wore a gorgeous dress according to her wishes, I I know, you don’t like it in your heart, since you don’t like it, then don’t force it, just choose what you like to make. Come, the material is in the basket, you can see for yourself, if there is something you like.”
There is an exquisite bamboo basket on Fan's right, and the cloth is placed in it.
Yun Chuwei walked over and took a closer look. There were seven colors in total, all fresh and elegant.
"Wearing the Sujin material on the body, it will not lose the luxury and nobleness, but it will not be too gaudy and eye-catching. Miss Wei's temperament is refined, so it is suitable for wearing Sujin material."
Fan explained from the side.
Yun Chu smiled politely, and pointed to the three pieces of cloth in the basket, "I really like these three colors, and Mrs. Lao will worry about it."
"As long as I can get you to like it, it takes a little effort, and I'm happy." Fan immediately took out the cloth selected by Yun Chuwei and asked Qiuyan to hug her and send it to the embroiderer.
Ever since he swore to the sky in front of Yun Chong that day, Fan's attitude towards her has indeed slowly changed.
Yun Chu remained calm, after all, it was Fan's biological mother who owed the original owner, Fan's current attitude is barely on the right track, there are still many days to come, and there will be opportunities for her to make up.
-
Before I knew it, the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet arrived.
Yun Jingshu finished her fasting and chanting, and returned to her yard from the small Buddhist hall.
Xiuju and the other maidservants dared not hesitate to bathe and change her clothes immediately.
Yun Jingshu glanced at the dress in the tray and frowned, "The color is too bright, change to a plain one."
Xiuju was in a dilemma immediately, "The clothes for the palace banquet were made in the past few days. The two sets of clothes of the third girl are similar, and there are not all plain ones, but they have been worn before."
"A plain color one, and a brand new one?" Yun Jingshu asked.
"Yes."
Yun Jingshu pinched her eyebrows.
Generally, for the daughter of an official, it is a great honor to receive a post from the palace, so the rules of going to the palace banquet are also extremely strict, and only newly cut clothes can be worn, which shows respect for the face of the royal family.
Yun Jingshu used to enter the palace with Mrs. Yun. Every set of her clothes was carefully crafted, and she would never collide with other people. Therefore, most of the ladies in the palace have the impression that those daughters of aristocratic families who love to compare It's even more impressive.
Yun Jingshu didn't like the clothes she made this time, but she couldn't wear the clothes she wore before to the banquet.
"I remember that there are several bolts of plain brocade in the storeroom. Has your wife taken them out to make clothes for someone?"
Xiuju said: "For those batches of materials, the eldest wife first selected for Miss Wei, and the rest were locked into the warehouse."
Glancing at Yun Jingshu, Xiuju said again: "The eldest lady said that those Sujin suit Miss Wei's temperament very well."
Speaking of Yun Chuwei, Yun Jingshu thought that when she came back from the Su family's banquet that day, she changed from her usual cowardice, straightened her waist, and showed off her might in front of the old lady. Even a person with a vicious mouth like the old lady was blocked by her. I was speechless.
During this period of time, Yun Jingshu reflected a lot in the small Buddhist hall.
She figured out why Yun Chuwei had such a big contrast between the front and back, because Yun Chuwei has been disguising herself all the time since the day she entered the Hou's mansion, and even, at the Su family banquet, her nervousness and forgetting words were all fakes The purpose of this is to make Su Li completely dislike her, make Mrs. Su disappointed in her, and thus shift the target to her, Yun Jingshu.
How cunning is her sister, who is a compatriot, and she has deceived everyone.
Although she was willing to marry into the Su family, she would definitely pay back all the pain Yun Chuwei caused her!
Xiuju urged: "Girl, hurry up and choose clothes, the time to enter the palace is almost here!"
Yun Jingshu came back to her senses, she was no longer in the mood to choose clothes, "Then don't change, just wear this set."
It is said that a woman is someone who pleases herself, she even has a fiancé, not to mention a man she doesn't like, if she dresses up now, who will show it to her?
From now on, she will focus more on revenge.
Yun Xueyao, He Lianyu, Yun Chuwei, none of you can escape!
Suddenly I feel that the progress is a bit slow, so I go to the second watch, and then I can see Master Jiu and Wei Wei agreeing to get married as soon as possible!
