Concubine's true colors

Chapter 89 Leaving the House (2)

Zhou Xianrui froze for a moment, puzzled, there was something about Xiao Jinyu, after all, only the mistress of the house had the right to give it to others.

Xiao Jinxuan smiled and explained: "Your Highness, I know that today is May [-]th. There is a Jinhua Pavilion in the capital, which specializes in silk brocade business. On this day, there will always be new fabrics, my sister-in-law is crazy about beauty, and she will be there every time, thanks to her habit, so I can come out."

Xiao Jinxuan took a sip of tea and continued:

"As soon as my sister-in-law left the mansion, I went to look for my aunt who is now in charge of the family. I was envious in my words. Although I was born as a concubine, I was also a young lady in the mansion. Compared with the two, there is no reason for my aunt not to give orders. Give me the card, and even if grandma finds out afterwards, but my sister-in-law and I are in the same Richu Mansion, even if she doesn't like me, she won't favor Bobby on the face of it and take back my token, let alone doubt it. I am traveling today for another purpose, so I naturally want to thank Xiao Jinyu."

Zhou Xianrui nodded, it was a good thing for him that Xiao Jinxuan could leave the house freely.

Then he asked: "Judging from Miss Si's tone, it seems that Mrs. Zhao treats you pretty well."

Nodding her head, Xiao Jinxuan replied softly: "My aunt doesn't like my grandmother. Although she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the big house, she has been suppressed by the Qian family for a long time. Now she is in power because of me. Naturally, I will be better than the Qian family when I am in charge. It's much thicker, and if you want to control the commander's mansion, the eldest aunt is a crucial move."

When she cooperated with Zhou Xianrui at the beginning, she promised the other party that in the future, she would take the stand of the commander-in-chief and stand on the side of the prince. However, if the plan is proper, it will never be able to do this.

But the Zhao family is different. The eldest daughter-in-law in charge of the commander-in-chief's mansion is already a success, so Xiao Jinxuan's current plan is to cooperate with the Zhao family to help the other party take power. As long as the old lady is not in power, Xiao Jinxuan is confident that when necessary , she can do it, so that the attitude of the handsome mansion is on the side of the prince, and this can be regarded as fulfilling the agreement with Zhou Xianrui.

After the two people in the room finished talking about the business, Zhou Xianrui took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jinxuan.

"This was sent back together with my seventh brother when he delivered the letter to me. The signature was addressed to you, Miss Fourth. Therefore, today you invited King Ben to come here, so I brought the letter together."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was originally calm, froze after hearing this, and then glanced at the letter with some anxiety, stretched out her hand, but took it back, a hesitant look flashed in her eyes, but she did not touch the letter after all. letters.

Zhou Xianrui noticed Xiao Jinxuan's loss of composure, and he was even more certain in his heart that the other party must also be emotional, but he really didn't understand what the other party was hesitating about.

Thinking flashed across his eyes, Zhou Xianrui suddenly took the letter back in his hands.

"Since the fourth lady doesn't want to read it, and I won't force you, I will tear up the letter to save unnecessary trouble for you and the seventh brother."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes became more struggling. Seeing that Zhou Xianrui really held the letter and it was torn in two, her heart seemed to be torn apart in an instant, and she couldn't breathe in such pain. up.

"No." Xiao Jinxuan, who was out of control, exclaimed, instinctively stretched out her hand, and snatched the letter that was divided into two, and glared at Zhou Xianrui with an extremely displeased expression.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who has always kept his face secret, and looking at his hostile gaze, Zhou Xianrui smiled slightly despite his heartache.

"Miss Si, don't worry about me. If I don't force you, Miss Si will escape from her true thoughts. When will it be? Since you care about my seventh brother, don't make things difficult for each other."

Xiao Jinxuan was stunned when she heard the words, and looked down at the letter in her hand, revealing a wry smile, and she sighed silently.

"Your Highness, Jinxuan lost her composure just now. I will take this letter back. If there is nothing else, then Jinxuan will leave."

As soon as Zhou Xianyu was mentioned, her heart became very confused. In fact, she didn't know that what Zhou Xianrui said was correct, but she was different from ordinary women. She must never open her heart, otherwise she would harm others and herself , It's just an annoyance.

Zhou Xianrui also knows that love can't be forced, and Xiao Jinxuan has to figure out many things by herself.

And as far as he knew Xiao Jinxuan, the other party was not an indecisive person, and he refused to accept Zhou Xianyu, maybe there were other reasons in it, if he tried hard to persuade him, it might backfire.

At this time, Xiao Jinxuan had already got up, and after saying goodbye, she walked out of the room under the watchful eye of Zhou Xianrui.

When she got out of the room, she saw Wen Xin and Bai Shu guarding outside. Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath, suppressed her restlessness, and walked downstairs.

As she went downstairs, she asked, "Wen Xin, how is the business of this restaurant, and how profitable it is. You have to remember that unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not let others know that I am the owner of this restaurant, do you hear me?"

Wen Xin nodded and said, "Jinxuan, don't worry, I have recruited all the staff from the new, and they don't know anything. As for this restaurant, you have seen it too. The business is very good, with a daily income of one hundred taels. Not a problem."

Smiling in satisfaction, this Jude restaurant is actually one of the two chapters of the land deed Xiao Heng gave her. That restaurant really deserves to be regarded as something kept in the bottom of the box by the other party. Not only is the location good, the restaurant is big, The profit is even more considerable. With this restaurant, there is no need to worry about daily expenses.

"Wenxin, start the business of the restaurant and the jewelry store. Arrange someone to take care of you. I'm going to move into the house in the near future. I'm away from you. It's quite inconvenient to deal with many things."

Hearing this, Wenxin's eyes flashed with joy. His only goal in life now is to help Xiao Jinxuan. Being able to be told by the other party that he cannot do without him makes him happier than any compliment.

While talking, Xiao Jinxuan also went to the main entrance of the restaurant, and gave Wen Xin a few more instructions, then took Bai Shu and got into the carriage again.

After sitting down securely, Bai Shu asked, "Miss, are we going home directly?"

After thinking for a while, Xiao Jinxuan said, "Let's just wander around the street. I didn't go anywhere, so I went back home. If someone finds out, I should be suspicious. Find a jade shop. Let's go in and have a look."

If I remember correctly, her second aunt, Shen Chuyun, didn't wear any gold or silver jewelry, and the only thing that caught her eye was jade.

Thanks to the timely appearance of the other party for the sneaking incident last time, otherwise the old lady would not even give her a chance to defend herself, so she would forcefully drag her out of the house.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan remembered Shen's kindness in her heart, so she wanted to pick up a few pieces of jade as a thank you gift, and went to visit this second aunt.

After a while, the coachman brought them to Baoqingzhai Gate. This is the best jade shop in the capital, loved by dignitaries and nobles, with a complete range of styles and the largest variety.

After getting off the carriage, Xiao Jinxuan walked into the shop, and sure enough, she saw that the shop was full of exquisite jade ornaments, all kinds of jade ornaments, exquisite and exquisite, with first-class workmanship, and each piece had its own uniqueness.

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan came in, the boss of Bao Qingzhai could tell from her attire that it was a distinguished guest, so he hurriedly poured tea to greet her, and waited carefully.

"I don't know what kind of things this lady wants to buy. Is it jade hairpin jewelry or playthings? We also have jade vases, jade pots, jade pillows, and jade fans in our store. If you are not satisfied, our store also accepts customization. Make all kinds of exquisite jade according to your requirements."

Looking at the shopkeeper, who was eloquent, Xiao Jinxuan smiled and said kindly:
"Shopkeeper, I want to look for a pair of earrings today. The color should not be too bright, and the workmanship should not be too cumbersome. It is better to be simple and simple. I want to buy it as a gift. Please help me find it. Is there anything I want in the store? This kind of jade earrings."

Seeing Shen Shi that day, dressed in a simple and unpretentious appearance, she knew that the other party did not like luxury, since it was a gift for the other party, naturally it had to meet the preferences of this second aunt.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and rummaged through, then opened the four brocade boxes one by one, and presented the earrings inside in front of Xiao Jinxuan.

There were four brocade boxes, two pairs of mutton fat and white jade earrings, one pair of pink jade hibiscus earrings, and one pair of sapphire jade earrings with bamboo joints.

Remembering that Shen Shi was wearing white that day, Xiao Jinxuan decided to choose one of the two pairs of earrings.

I saw these two pairs of earrings, one is Xiangyun Liufei earrings, the other is Begonia flower earrings.

The two sets of pendants are both very exquisite, and both are good in style. Xiao Jinxuan was having a hard time choosing which one to choose, when a soft male voice came from her right side with a smile.

"It seems that Miss is stumped by these two pairs of earrings. Looking at it from the bottom up, a good jade must be matched with a beautiful woman. If Miss has a hard time choosing, I will buy them all in my next wish and give them to Miss to wear. That is also these two pairs of earrings." luck."

Disturbed by the somewhat abrupt words, Xiao Jinxuan frowned, and raised her head to look at the speaker. When she saw the face of the speaker clearly, she was shocked for a moment, but then her expression returned to normal.

Although her face calmed down, Xiao Jinxuan's heart was not at all calm, because she had already recognized who this person was, and it was Qian Yunhong from Huai'an Houfu.

And she recognized him not because of Qian Yingluo, but because of her previous life, this Qian Yunhong was Xiao Jinyu's husband.

One must know that in her previous life, she was married to Ji Lingfeng for six years. Once Ji Lingfeng became the king with a foreign surname, Xiao Jinyu was welcomed into Prince Ling's mansion as a side concubine.

And Xiao Jinyu was already two years older than her, Xiao Jinxuan was already twenty at that time, this sister was already 22 years old at that time, how could she have never been married yet.

And the other party's first husband-in-law was this Qian Yunhong, the young master of Huai'an Houfu.

But then this young master, for some reason, suddenly died overnight, and Xiao Jinyu became a widow from Mrs. Hou.

And this also gave Ji Lingfeng a chance, so Xiao Jinyu actually entered Lingwang's mansion as a second marriage back then.

But even so, the other party still tied Ji Lingfeng's heart firmly.

Sometimes when I think about it, Xiao Jinxuan feels that her previous life was quite a failure. As her original partner, she actually lost to Xiao Jinyu, a widow with one woman married to two men. Thinking about it now, it is quite ironic.
