We would meet sooner or later, but Chu Yunli had no objection, "When?"
Shao An looked at the yard and said, "When you settle down, I will take them to visit you."
Chu Yunli felt warm in her heart. A home visit was more formal than a meeting in a restaurant, but she had to clean the yard every three days. She thought for a moment, "I might want to buy someone."
Shao An hurriedly asked, "When? I'll go with you!"
Chu Yunli raised her eyes to look at him and asked with a smile, "You've been delayed for a few days. You seem to have no errands. You come here every day. How do you support yourself?"
Shao An smiled and said, "I have an errand."
Chu Yunli became interested, "What do you do?"
"Commander of Beijing Guards." Shao An's tone was ordinary, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Chu Yunli was a little surprised. The Jingwei Battalion was responsible for the security of the capital. The eight commanders would not be responsible for anyone who was not trusted by the emperor. Although Shao An was born in the prince's palace, the prince did not necessarily have to be the emperor.
Although he was valued, he would be suspected and suspected because of his close relationship with the royal family. As the emperor's grandnephew, he could still be valued and trusted in this way, which shows that it took a lot of effort.
Chu Yunli thought of something and asked, "A few days ago I seemed to have heard that the grandson of the prince's palace was discussing marriage. Could it be you? How many princes' palaces are there in the capital?"
Shao An smiled, "There must be five or six in total. The total number of the prince's grandchildren must be twenty or thirty."
Chu Yunli was speechless. Who knows which one Zhang Mingmei was talking about?
Shao An left the Sun family before dinner, and Chu Yunli was finally able to sleep peacefully after being here for so many days.
The next morning she asked Yapo to bring some people over, and she picked some servants to clean the yard and a few girls. The house finally became lively.
While we were cleaning here, we heard that the young daughter of the Minister of Etiquette was getting married. She was going to take the imperial examination next year. After further investigation, she found out that she was born into a merchant family. This meant she was marrying at a low age.
In fact, except for those who are interested, not many people pay attention to this. Even if Chu Yunli has heard of it, she still has to go to the streets to buy some furniture, many of which have been eaten by insects. Also, she has to think of doing something to earn charity.
value.
There is a special street in the inner city that sells furniture. There are all kinds of high and low prices. It can be said that as long as you have money, you can buy anything. Chu Yunli is quite concerned about furniture, especially when Shao An said that his parents know how to buy it.
After visiting her, even if they would accept her because of Shao An's relationship, she still wanted to leave a good impression on them, so a good set of tables and chairs for entertaining guests was necessary.
After all, Shao An couldn't accompany the furniture buyer. She went by herself and took Ziyou and the two to the largest shop on the street. After entering, she walked around and her eyes fell on a set of tables and chairs.
The thick wood looked stable at first glance, and the carvings were exquisite. Of course, the price should be quite expensive. Ziyou asked the waiter on the side, "This?"
The clerk glanced at it and said, "Five hundred taels."
It was indeed quite expensive, but now she was not short of money. Just when she wanted to take a look at the bed and dressing table, a group of people came in at the door.
Chu Yunli didn't pay much attention at first. Even though the shop was big, the things inside were quite expensive, but there was always a shortage of wealthy people in the capital. The shop received a lot of people coming and going throughout the day. She glanced at it and took it back.
With just one glance, her fingers stroking the tabletop paused slightly, and it turned out to be Wu Xuanyue.
Not just her, there was Zhang Mingmei beside her, and two beautiful women in their thirties. The group came in chatting and laughing. The shopkeeper had already greeted them, and the more arrogant woman said lazily.
, "Can you make a reservation for my daughter's wedding in two months?"
"Of course." The shopkeeper smiled and led them in. "My boss hired the best carpenters in the capital. We can make any drawings you bring out for you. We have all kinds of wood. Madam can do it herself."
Go and see.”
Wu Xuanyue's voice suddenly sounded, "Why are you here?"
Chu Yunli turned around and saw her looking at him in surprise.
Seeing clearly that it was her, Wu Xuanyue folded her arms and said mockingly, "The things here are not cheap. The table you own is worth hundreds of taels of silver. Don't touch it if you can't afford to pay for it. Use your body to pay the debt."
The last word has a long final sound.
Very annoying.
In fact, to be serious, Wu Yanyue can be considered one of Sun Yanlan's enemies.
Now she has caused the Zheng family to make a fuss and run away. In her previous life, Sun Yanlan did not. She lost her virginity first and was fully waiting for the Zheng family and her son to fulfill their promise. However, it might as well be that Zheng Yanming was already engaged to Wu Jinyue before the trial began.
Already.
Sun Yanlan was even pregnant before this year. At that time, Wu Xuanyue only knew that Zheng Yanming had a cousin, and this cousin had admiration for Zheng Yanming. She was very disgusted with this future cousin. The Wu family even hinted that she would let him
The Zheng family dealt with Sun Yanlan, but Zheng Yanming, mother and son, delayed the decision because they had not yet found her husband's family.
At this time, Sun Yanlan was pregnant, so she naturally couldn't keep her. Her abortion medicine was given with mushrooms.
After Wu Xuanyue came in, her life became more and more miserable. It was only three years after the two got married that she got the status of a concubine. But not long after, she fell ill. No one helped her seek medical advice, not even warmth.
There was no hot food, and it was not known whether she died of illness or starvation.
Another thing is that the Zheng family's three matchmakers and six hires to marry Wu Yanyue cost a lot of money. Most of them came from Sun Yanlan's 500,000 taels of silver.
Chu Yunli thought so much, but in fact, only a moment passed. She took back her hand and smiled, "I have met Miss Wu and heard that Miss Wu is engaged. I haven't congratulated you on your marriage."
Although the words were congratulations and she used honorifics, Wu Xuanyue only felt that there was something in her words and it was very awkward. In the end, she recognized her words of congratulations and said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't say let you go either.
It's just that Yan Ming is afraid that I will think too much if you continue to stay in the Zheng family."
Afraid that his fiancée would think too much, he kicked his cousin out. So this is how Zheng Yanming explained her departure?
The beautiful woman at the head called over there, "Xiaoyue, who is this? You've been talking for so long?"
Wu Xuanyue turned around and said, "Mom, it's Yan Ming's cousin, she came here somehow."
Chu Yunli rubbed the table and looked at the waiter, "I want this set of tables." The waiter was overjoyed and bowed in agreement, "Do you want to see anything else? I just heard that the girl said she wanted to see the Babu bed. We are here
There are all kinds of sides.”
Chu Yunli nodded, turned around after him, thought for a while and said, "Actually, I am leaving the Zheng family on my own."
Wu Yanyue looked at her suspiciously, "How come you have the money to buy these? Did your aunt give them to you?"
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows, "You can't control it."
Seeing her turn around and leave, Wu Xuanyue was furious, "Yan Ming is mine."
It's yours, no one can take it from you.
Chu Yunli didn't say much else, and she didn't want to disturb the marriage. It would be better for the two of them to live together for a long time.
After buying a lot of things here and there, Chu Yunli went out and left in a carriage.
After Wu Xuanyue's mother finally finalized the style and money with the shopkeeper, more than half an hour had passed. When she went out, she saw many guys loading the car. Another shopkeeper kept asking the guys not to bump into each other. Originally, Wu Yanyue would never do this kind of thing.
When asked more, she somehow thought of Sun Yanlan and couldn't help but ask, "Who here buys so many?"
The shopkeeper leaned forward and said, "It was bought by a girl." But he refused to say more.
Seeing how she had just ordered a set of tables, and she might have bought them all, Wu Xuanyue asked again, "Where are they going to be sent?"
The shopkeeper was surprised, "Girl... don't make things difficult for me."
Mrs. Shangshu over there has already got on the carriage, "Zhengyue, hurry up, we still have to look at the fabric."
Wu Xuanyue couldn't ask, so she had to get on the carriage and asked her mother, "Do you think she bought those things?"
Mrs. Shangshu frowned, "Why do you care so much?"
"What if the money was given by the Zheng family and they fooled the Shangshu Mansion to get her out? If Yan Ming still has contact with her..." The more Wu Xuanyue thought about it, the more she felt that she needed to investigate carefully.
"My cousins must have contact." At this point, Mrs. Shangshu realized that the contact her daughter mentioned was not an ordinary "contact." She frowned and said, "I will have someone check it out."
In the courtyard of the Zheng family in the outer city, Zheng Yanming pressed the mushrooms under his body and lay down slumped after a while.
Shigugu couldn't breathe, so she reached out and pushed him, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Zheng Yanming also wanted to know what was wrong with him. Ever since he got drunk that time, he had lost his impulse. Sometimes mushrooms deliberately wandered in front of him, but he didn't feel it and even felt irritable.
For example, at this moment, he thought of a certain possibility and said sternly, "Get out!"
Shigugu was so frightened that he rolled over and walked out of the house holding his clothes.
After going out, I bumped into the old lady in the yard, and she suddenly felt disgraced. She could enter and exit the master's room at will, and she was slightly superior among these servants. This was all because of her special relationship with her master. Now she was treated like this.
If she is kicked out, it may not take long for news to spread that she has fallen out of favor.
The mushrooms were not sent away after all, because after Chu Yunli left, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she went to Chu Yunli's house and smashed things like crazy. She accidentally bumped into a vase on the bedside. After it fell to the ground and broke, the contents actually fell out.
A roll of banknotes came out, which amounted to 120,000 taels. After paying back the principal with interest, there was still something left.
Naturally, the movements in Zheng Yanming's house could not be hidden from Mrs. Lin, but she arrived soon and looked at her irritable son, "What's going on? I didn't like mushrooms, so I sold her. If the Wu family asked,
You can also gain a good reputation.”
Zheng Yanming hesitated to speak. He wanted to tell her about his problems, but he felt it was too difficult to do so.
Seeing her son's ugly face, Mrs. Lin was suspicious, "What's going on?"
"I can't do it anymore." Zheng Yanming said vaguely.
Lin thought she was hearing hallucinations, "What?"
"Mom, I want to see a doctor." Zheng Yanming said seriously, "I fooled Xuanyue by getting her drunk that day, but it will be our wedding night in two months. I can't..."
"Get drunk?" Lin asked confused, "What do you mean?"
Zheng Yanming looked at his mother, "If we didn't first... how could the wedding date be so soon?"
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a while and then said, "Is this what you want?"
"What's wrong with this method? As long as it works well." Zheng Yanming disagreed, "Didn't you let me do this, cousin?"
Lin was speechless, "But I am the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, not your brainless cousin."
As soon as the latter sentence came out, the two of them looked at each other and made a tacit agreement not to mention it again. Ms. Lin continued to ask, "Are you sure Miss Wu is not angry with you?"
Zheng Yanming felt a little proud, "She cried. I coaxed her and then sent her back."
