Xia Shang was in a good mood, and someone gave him a big gift on the first day of the new year.
More than one million taels of silver notes, which he, Xia Shang, had worked hard for several years to acquire, and now someone actually handed him over.
There were so many banknotes, all of which were one hundred taels, mostly one thousand taels, circulating in the market. The banknotes alone were as many as a linen bag. On the way home, Xia Shang felt like a rich man.
Since you have made so much money, you have to spend some time to reward yourself.
Xia Shang was not idle on the road. All the jewelry stores he passed by were sold out. He was too lazy to choose any style. He just bought them all and let the women in the house choose for themselves.
This feeling of shopping for goods was indescribably satisfying, but Ruochu, who followed Xia Shang home, was dumbfounded.
She didn't spend much time with Xia Shang, and she never saw Xia Shang's daily life. She didn't expect that her son would be so bold when shopping, so she stood aside silently not knowing what to say.
This is the first time that the store has encountered such a customer. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were dumbfounded. They thought that even the royal family would not dare to buy things like this, right? Is there something wrong with this young man's brain?
Although he thought it was strange, the store owner was very happy. Knowing that he had met a stupid person with a big brain and a lot of money, he helped the customer pack his things with a smile on his face, and ordered all the waiters in the store to help the customer pack his things.
Delivered to your door.
After struggling for more than an hour, Xia Shang finally returned home with a small cart of jewelry. He was also thinking about whether he should discuss with his neighbor next door to see if he could buy all the neighboring yards at a high price.
Compared with Xia Shang's relaxed mood, Ruo Ruo felt a little apprehensive when he first met. He entered this house without any warning, and he didn't know whether the sisters in the family were easy to get along with...
As soon as I entered the house, I met Yue'er sweeping away the snow.
Xia Shang was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Yue'er, why are you back?"
Yue'er dropped the broom and replied: "Madam left in a hurry, so she followed her back."
Xia Shang didn't think much about it and asked Yue'er to send a message for everyone to come to the main hall to choose their favorite jewelry.
What surprised Xia Shang was that his women were gathering in the hall. They didn't know what they were discussing, but the expressions on their faces didn't look right.
Seeing Xia Shang come back, the women in the room all smiled and came up to ask Xia Shang what happened today.
Xia Shang told the story and introduced Ruochu
Meet two women, Yunu.
On the surface, everyone gets along well with Heqiqi, and nothing much happens.
Immediately afterwards, everyone started to pick Xia Shang to buy back, and everything was smooth and harmonious.
After all the jewelry was distributed and he took Ruo Chujian and Yu Nu out of the house, Xia Shang felt that the atmosphere at home was a little strange.
It is precisely because it is too bland that it gives people an unpredictable and weird taste, but it is also because everything is so calm that Xia Shang cannot find where the weirdness in the normal comes from.
"Did you feel something was wrong just now?" Xia Shang asked confusedly when they first met.
When I first saw him, he was stunned: "Huh? Why did the young master say this?"
"Um..." Xia Shang didn't know how to speak, so he waved his hands and said, "That's all, it should be my own problem."
Xia Shang didn't think much and took Chu Jian to see her room.
At this time, in the hall, the women who packed up their jewelry did not leave.
The smile on Qin Huairou's face gradually disappeared and turned gloomy: "That's it. Let's keep this secret and pretend that nothing happened."
Liu Ruyan and Li Xiaoxin frowned lightly, worried.
Liu Ruyan said: "But if this matter is known to my husband, my sister will probably be blamed by my husband. Moreover, my husband values his own blood very much and disposes of his children without telling him..."
"Needless to say, this is the best way. As long as the child disappears from now on, no matter what happens, it will not implicate Xianggong or the Xia family. And as long as the three of us insist on the facts, I believe Xianggong will not be implicated either.
They will doubt us. Even if my husband does find out, I will be responsible for the matter alone, so you don’t have to worry."
While the three of them were discussing, outside the side window of the main building of the main courtyard, the maid Xiaoman covered her mouth in shock and did not dare to kick her. She carefully closed the window and stepped back step by step.
"That's crazy!" At this moment, Xiaoman had only one thought in her mind. She thought that there were many thieves in wealthy families with evil intentions, and a woman who usually looked kind-hearted could be so vicious secretly!
Thinking about it, Xiaoman couldn't help but sneer: "For the safety of the family head, you are not worried about other people's sons taking away your own son's status in the family. These women are really ruthless for their own selfish interests!"
"What are you mumbling about?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind
Xiaoman was startled when he heard the news coming from the side, and felt the hairs all over his body stand up.
Looking back, it turned out to be Yue'er.
"Sister Yue'er, I didn't say anything..."
Yue'er looked at her suspiciously, then glanced at the window beside Xiaoman, frowning and said: "I asked you to sweep the snow in the yard, but you actually came here to be lazy. Believe it or not, I will tell the master."
"
"No, Sister Yue'er, I'm going to clear the snow right away. Please forgive me this time."
Yue'er put her hand on her waist: "Go to work quickly. Forget it this time. I won't let you go next time."
Xiaoman didn't dare to stay, so she quickly took the broom and went to the yard to sweep away the snow.
…
Xia Shang arranged for Chu Jian to live in the same house as Li Xiaoxin and Yazhi.
This room is relatively larger and can accommodate three or five people without being too crowded as Xia Shang's room.
The bed has been arranged, and Chu Jian is packing his luggage in the house.
I didn't see much at first, but from the looks of it, she didn't seem to be good at such a job.
"Do you want me to help you?" Xia Shang asked.
"No, it's okay to meet me for the first time."
"There are more servants at home than here in Bulou. In addition, this house is a bit small, and you don't have anyone to serve you personally, so I can only give you some grievances first. If you want a maid, you can tell Huairou, she
I will make arrangements for you."
"I don't want the maid anymore for the time being. It's already bad for an outsider like me to squeeze in the sisters. If another person comes here, it will look like I don't know you for the first time."
"Well, you can do some activities at home first and get closer to them. I also want to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I will come with you in the evening."
"In the evening..." Chu Jian's body froze, he couldn't help but lower his head, and hummed slightly shyly.
Without staying too long, Xia Shang took Yu Nu out.
We can't treat Yunu Xia Shang as we did when we first met her. There are many problems involved, so it's best to arrange her to the Metropolitan Procuratorate first.
First of all, Yunu has followed Liao Baichen for many years. Fundamentally speaking, Yunu should also belong to the Weaving Department.
Secondly, there are many eyes and ears in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so you can observe her for a while first.
Finally, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is currently in dire straits, and there is currently no one in the Weaving Department. If there is one person to manage the Weaving Department, this woman with whom he has had a romantic relationship is obviously more suitable.
