Stars and moons lead the way, and there is a team of sedan horses on the official road outside Yangzhou City, which seems a bit abrupt. Every pedestrian who passes by stops and looks back.
The people in the sedan don’t know what to think?
Xia Shang immediately felt elated. To be precise, Xia Shang could not remember when he had felt such joy. Perhaps he had never felt like this in his life.
Joy is mixed with stability and steadiness, anticipation is mixed with reverie and nostalgia. My eyes can't be separated from the sedan chair decorated with big red flower silk. I always want to take a look. Even though I can't see the beauty inside, I still want to
look.
Maybe this is what I like.
In the sedan chair, the woman in white had experienced the previous tears and her mood had stabilized. She sat steadily in the sedan chair with a calm expression. The little maid opposite was actually very excited and kept chattering.
"Young Madam, Xiaoyue felt that the young master looked like a different person. When he arrived at the house on a white horse, he behaved and spoke calmly and appropriately. He was so handsome! Don't you think so?"
"Young Madam, please say something. I think the young master has really changed a lot, and maybe he will really be kind to Madam in the future."
"Young Madam..."
"Is it just ten thousand taels of gold to buy you off? I really think that person is good. Let's be a common maid with him from now on."
"Ah?! No, no, no...I won't agree..."
Xiaoyue was so ashamed that she sat down again with a red face, lowered her head and played with her fingers.
Qin Huairou spoke calmly, but she couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at the man on the white horse in front of her.
In this way, the group arrived at their temporary residence in Yulin County.
After that, the servants of Prince Yong's Mansion left with the sedan and the horse. The young couple and a little maid were left with nothing. Comparing the before and after, they looked really desolate.
The groom Li Zhong was at the door all day long. Xia Shang went out in the morning without saying a word, only saying that he would definitely bring the young lady back. How could he feel relieved?
Li Zhong knew Qin Huairou and the importance of this young lady to the Xia family, but he did not have much confidence in his young master. Not to mention that the young master had not learned and had no skills since he was a child. Even if he studied hard and practiced hard, he would not be able to succeed in his career.
Earn 10,000 taels of gold in one day!
Li Zhong had given up hope for a long time, but now he was a little confused when he saw the young master and the young lady returning together. He thought he was dreaming. When he saw the young lady walked up to him and said softly:
"Uncle Zhong, I'm back."
Only then did Li Zhong wake up and tremble with excitement: "Young madam, you are finally back."
While talking, Yazhi also came out of the courtyard, walked to Xia Shang with small steps, and saluted: "Young Master."
"Why is it her?"
Seeing Yazhi, Qin Huairou couldn't help but frown.
Yazhi and Qin Huairou have been grudged for a long time and have not dealt with each other from the beginning. Although Qin Huairou is a wife, Yazhi is not a woman who can be bullied easily. When the other party asked this question, she immediately asked: "Young madam,
Why can't it be Yazhi?"
"Xia Shang, you didn't sell her?" Qin Huairou turned to Xia Shang and asked.
The word "Xia Shang" is somewhat harsh and makes people feel uncomfortable. Qin Huairou's question is also puzzling, asking: "Madam, why should I sell Yazhi?"
"You didn't sell this vixen? Then where did you get the money? Didn't you go to the brothel yesterday to pick me up by selling this woman for gold?"
Upon hearing this, Yazhi's face changed. He grabbed Xia Shang's clothes and asked eagerly: "Master, do you want to sell Yazhi?"
"What's the matter?" Xia Shang was a little dizzy, "Let's go back to the house first and then talk about it."
Qin Huairou went from great sadness to great joy today, and her mood was a bit complicated. She always thought that Xia Shang went to the brothel to sell Yazhi in exchange for money to take her home, because she really couldn't think of any other way for Xia Shang to raise 10,000 yuan.
Two pieces of gold. If Xia Shang hadn't sold Yazhi, then he went to the Qinglou yesterday to have fun?
There is a more important point. The fundamental reason why Qin Huairou has been targeting Yazhi is the issue of value.
When Qin Huairou married into the Xia family, the Xia family gave her 10,000 taels of gold as a betrothal gift.
But when Yazhi entered the Xia family, Xia Shang spent one hundred thousand taels of gold, ten times as much as Qin Huairou!
When Qin Huairou thought of this, her heart was filled with panic, and she naturally hated the little witch in front of her.
…
When the Xia and Shang family reunited, the city of Yangzhou was already noisy.
What kind of treasure did Xia Shang give to King Yong? It was incredible that the two people who were incompatible with each other settled their differences, and His Highness King Yong also gave 10,000 taels of gold to Xia Shang in return.
What's even more strange is that after Xia and Shang left, King Yong refused everyone's gifts and never showed up again. I don't know what happened.
Everyone was waiting to see Xia Shang's joke, but who knew that the joke didn't come true, and instead Xia Shang stole the limelight.
The situation is indeed a bit depressing, but there is nothing that can be done about it.
The guests only left after eating, but Li Shou never appeared again. I don't know if he was in the building or elsewhere.
Until night fell, the moonlight slipped into the clouds, and two men in black suddenly appeared on the high wall of the plum garden.
The two men in black, one tall and one short, have obvious physical features. At a glance, they can be identified as a slightly burly middle-aged man and a petite woman.
"There is a light in the attic, maybe he hasn't left yet. Junior sister, I don't know if there are any masters in Prince Yong's Mansion. It would be better for you to go over and explore the situation. Remember, don't alert the enemy."
"I know."
The woman whispered, then jumped to the second floor of the attic ten meters away.
Who else could this woman in black be except Xian'er?
At this time, Miss Xian'er still had the slightest attitude of being in Yichun Courtyard. Her arms were spread out like a bird with wings, her feet were connected in the air, and she landed on the eaves of the attic like a dragonfly touching water.
It fell to the ground silently, not even a trace of dust was stirred up.
Who would have thought that the charming girl Xian'er in Yihong Courtyard would be a first-class martial arts master?
Xian'er didn't think much, and quickly pressed against the wall, listening to what was going on inside the building.
There was no one on the second floor, but I heard someone coming downstairs.
Xian'er quickly jumped to the ground and gently opened a small crack in the window on the first floor.
I saw a man and a woman coming down from upstairs. The man was Li Shou, holding two brocade boxes in his hands. His expression was a little strange. I could vaguely hear what he was begging for.
"Madam, does this king really want to be like this? How can I... how can I be embarrassed like this?"
"A manly man, able to bend and stretch, do as I say."
After a simple conversation, Li Shou walked out of the attic with a brocade box in one hand and an oil lamp in the other.
Xian'er made herself even more invisible, hiding in the darkest corner, her eyes never leaving the two brocade boxes in Li Shou's hands.
"What is it that is so precious? It still refuses to leave your body?"
Xian'er was still curious, but she didn't expect the next scene!
I saw that Li Shou chose an empty seat in the plum garden besides the attic, and actually put the brocade box on the wick of the oil lamp!
This is about to burn the brocade box! (To be continued)
