The weird atmosphere in Jiulingtang has dissipated, and the laughter of children can be heard on the street.
Nowadays, children in the city are basically vaccinated and no longer have to hide in their homes in fear, enjoying the joy of childhood.
Shopkeeper Liu stood in front of the window and sighed softly.
"God is so unfair." He whispered.
He who brings joy to others is always in trouble.
"No."
Miss Jun, who walked in again after washing, heard this and said.
"That's actually fair."
Lu Yunqi was able to do what he did today because of her deliberate guidance that day, and the reason why she gave such deliberate guidance was to get the master's letter without being discovered.
This is the price, this is justice. She does not feel regret or trouble about the trouble that occurred today.
"It's nothing to worry about." She said, taking the tea brought by Liu'er, "This kind of thing is not a big deal. Things between men and women should always be mutually agreeable."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded with a smile.
"Yes, this matter can be said to be troublesome, and it can be said to be simple." He said, "Not to mention that marriage is the order of the parents and the matchmaker. With your reputation now, Miss Jun, even the emperor cannot do such a thing.
.”
Chen Qi nodded and said yes.
Miss Jun smiled and said nothing.
Chen Qi's eyes fell on the boxes and cages stacked together.
"What to do about this?" he said.
Everyone knew the truth of the matter. They were frightened by the sudden betrothal gift, but how to deal with it next was still a headache.
"Is it still the same as when I gave you a 10,000-tael silver note last time?" Chen Qi said.
The explanation given by Miss Jun that time was that she didn't dare to refuse and couldn't change her name, so she just pretended not to have it.
Fang Jinxiu frowned.
"You can't pretend, it's not about money," she said.
Receiving the betrothal gift means that you have accepted it. When people come to greet you, it would be a joke if you say you dare not refuse.
"What can we do? Just go back." Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile.
Chen Qi stood up from the chair.
"I don't know how to send it back." He said, "You must send it back. The key is how to send it back."
Shopkeeper Liu and Fang Jinxiu looked at him without saying anything.
"No one paid attention to this when it was delivered." Chen Qi continued, "Although they saw Jin Yiwei coming to move these things, they didn't think much about it. They just thought it was to thank Miss Jun for the gift or something."
"So?" Fang Jinxiu said.
"So we must send it back quietly." Chen Qi said, "Do you mean when it gets dark, or at night? Just leave it and leave without the car."
Fang Jinxiu glanced at him.
"Do you think this matter can go unnoticed?" she said.
Chen Qi said.
"That's right, since Lu Qianhu used this method, he wants everyone to know about it." He said, frowning and clapped his hands, "Then let's do this, anyway, everyone wants to know, so why not let us do it first?
Let’s start by throwing things directly in front of Lu Qianhu’s door to show everyone our anger.”
Before Fang Jinxiu spoke, Miss Jun, who was drinking tea, put down her tea cup.
"Okay." She said.
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment.
"What's good?" he said, standing up.
Miss Jun walked up to the cage and raised her hand to pat it.
"Throw the things directly in front of Lu Qianhu's door," she said.
Chen Qi looked startled.
"Is this really what you're doing?" he said.
He wanted to say that he was just talking casually.
If he did that, everyone would know about it, and he would be at odds with Lu Yunqi.
Miss Jun walked over and raised her hand to sweep off the red silk on the cage.
"Your face? Isn't it already torn?" she said, "Do you still need to be polite?"
Shopkeeper Liu laughed.
"That's right." He said, "Who needs face?"
People like Lu Yunqi have never had a face, but so what, Jiulingtang has never relied on face.
Whether he was working as a doctor in the streets or claiming to only cure diseases that other doctors could not cure, Jiulingtang never cared about his face from the day he arrived in the capital.
He often makes others lose face.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at Chen Qi with a smile again.
"Seven shopkeepers, are you going or should I go?" he asked.
Chen Qi also laughed.
"Shopkeeper Liu is joking, we have to divide it between you and me." He said, "Why bother you, Deshengchang Lai, about our Jiulingtang affairs?"
After saying that, he lifted his feet and walked out.
"I'll prepare a car and call someone."
Fang Jinxiu shouted "Wait a minute" and took out a banknote.
"When I send this betrothal gift back, I will also return the eight thousand taels of silver to him last time," she said.
Chen Qi smiled, took the bank note and strode out.
At this time, Lu Yunqi also walked into Lu's house. The girls and servants couldn't hide their joy and were a little busy.
Mr. Lu has not been back for a long time, but what is good is that Mr. Lu has not gone to his residence during this period.
Nowadays, this is the first place to come back after the court affairs are finished.
This is home after all.
Princess Jiuli also heard the sound and came out to greet her in the corridor.
"Princess." Lu Yunqi saluted from a few steps away.
Princess Jiuli returned the favor.
"I'm back," she said. Although she didn't have the surprise of returning, the smile on her face was a little brighter. She stretched out her hand to invite you, "Dinner is ready. Please invite me."
There was a strong spring atmosphere in Princess Jiuli's hall, and the girls and servants came in and out briskly, presenting fine wines and delicacies one by one.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Princess Jiuli said, personally handing over a glass of wine.
Lu Yunqi stood up and took it.
"It's not hard." He said, sat down and paused, "His Royal Highness King Huai will return for another consultation in three days."
The smile in Princess Jiuli's eyes became even stronger.
"Thank you for your hard work," she said, and poured a glass of wine herself. "I didn't expect that Miss Jun could actually suppress acne."
Lu Yunqi lowered his eyes and drank, but didn't answer as if he didn't hear anything.
Princess Jiuli drank the wine in one gulp. Her drinking posture was not like her usual dignified appearance.
"I wonder how you did it?" She put down her wine glass and looked at Lu Yunqi with a smile.
Lu Yunqi slowly finished his drink and put it down, still not saying anything.
The servant girl standing next to her felt a little anxious and uneasy.
It would be nice for you to greet and show concern for your Excellency when you return from a long absence, but why does the princess only ask other people what the meaning of acne is?
Although it is understandable that Princess Jiuling, who is locked up in the inner courtyard of this deep house, is also very curious about such a rare thing as acne being suppressed, you can still ask tomorrow.
One of the maids decided to smooth things over, but before she could open her mouth, a man walked in quickly.
The man could go directly to the inner house, which was no surprise to the people in Lu House. The servants, women and girls present all hurriedly lowered their eyes and took a step back. Princess Jiuli did not speak anymore, watching the man whisper something in Lu Yunqi's ear.
Lu Yunqi's expression remained blank, but he stood up.
"I'll go out for a while," he said.
Princess Jiuli nodded with a smile, then watched Lu Yunqi turn around and walk out.
The servants then took a step forward.
"Princess, do you want to wait for your lord?" a maid asked in a low voice.
Will we eat together when the adults come back, or should the princess use it first?
Princess Jiuli smiled.
"There are no need for so many rules," she said, "Everyone can just do whatever they want."
random?
How can this couple be so casual?
The maid was puzzled, but looking at Princess Jiuli who had already picked up the bowls and chopsticks, she did not dare to persuade her.
After all, she is a princess, even though she is already down and out.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and a girl walked in with a panicked expression.
"Princess, it's not good." She said, "Something happened outside..." (To be continued)
