The weather is getting colder, and a brazier has been lit in Chu Yunli's house. In the past few days, she has bought a shop and found someone to open a rouge shop. She is also planning to open a grain shop in the outer city. She has also done this many times.
I discovered that the food sold at the grain store is slightly cheaper than other stores, and you can earn a little more from charity. There is also a medical center that treats people, and provides some free summer medicine soup in the summer, and makes a pot of it in the winter.
Cold-repelling medicinal decoction, these can gradually accumulate charity points. Although it is not worth much in her opinion, it can help many people in places she does not know.
She was still surrounded by Ziyou sisters. Even though there were many servants now, no one could get past them. After hearing that the marriage between the Zheng family and the Wu family was continuing normally, she asked them to find someone to go with them.
The servant from the Zheng family asked.
It turned out that another silver note fell out of her house. Mrs. Lin was so happy that she returned Zheng Zhi's money.
She thought about it for a long time before she remembered that Mrs. Yan had told Mrs. Lin to take care of her earlier before she died. The bank notes were still with her. Chu Yunli only found a few thousand taels in her house. It was obviously not enough.
Counting the banknotes is more like Mrs. Yan’s own secret.
The big head is still there, I never expected it!
In the afternoon in the middle of the winter moon, Shao An brought his mother, the Princess of the County Prince, to the door, and Chu Yunli personally welcomed her in.
The Sun family's courtyard is in a good location in the capital. Basically, the courtyards here belong to families who have lived in the capital for a long time. They can't buy them even if they have money.
The prince's wife, Mrs. Pei, is in her thirties and has a kind face. "Yanlan, I heard An'er talk about you."
Chu Yunli asked someone to serve tea, and when he heard this, he showed some shyness.
Mrs. Pei looked at her with sharp eyes, "Actually, An'er's status includes his own errand. No girl in this city is worthy of her. You..."
There's nothing wrong with what he said, but it seemed a bit excessive to be so straightforward. But he didn't say anything unpleasant either.
Chu Yunli raised her head and looked at her.
Meeting her clear eyes, Pei's heart moved, "I want to ask you, if Shao An didn't have this status and family background, would you still be tempted by him?"
"Yes!" Chu Yunli said in a serious tone. In the past, Feng Shao'an was just a hunter and was really poor. She couldn't get along well with him.
Chu Yunli looked at Shao An aside and saw worried eyes in his eyes.
She answered without hesitation. Mrs. Pei's face remained as usual, she picked up the tea and took a sip, "In that case, I promise you that if the prince has two concubines, you can be one of them."
What?
Chu Yunli was stunned. With the success of Duke Dingguo's house last time, she really didn't expect that she would be a side chamber this time.
She was stunned, Shao An's expression changed slightly, and Mr. Pei over there smiled and said, "Are you surprised?"
The shock was enough, Shao An said hurriedly, "Mom, that's not what we said before we came here. I will marry her, and there won't be anyone else."
Mrs. Pei frowned and scolded, "An'er, both her parents are dead. She didn't learn anything from the Zheng family. Apart from some wealth, what else does she have? How can she be worthy of being a princess? Give her a concubine.
It’s because of the friendship between you.”
Chu Yunli stood up slowly, her face slightly pale. Watching Shao An and Pei's argument, she understood that this time might not be so smooth. She looked at Ziyou and said, "Let's serve the food."
Her son was dissatisfied with her actions. Although Mrs. Pei was displeased, she still stayed to eat. Before leaving, she said, "If you are willing, the matchmaker will come to your door soon."
Chu Yunli smiled slightly and said in a solemn tone, "I don't want to, and I will never be a concubine in this life."
Mrs. Pei raised her eyebrows and turned around to get on the carriage.
Shao An took her hand and said, "My wife is only you, there will be no one else!"
Ms. Pei was sitting in the carriage and saw her son holding the girl's hand and talking seriously through the gap in the curtain. She sighed and said, "It's really..."
After Mrs. Pei came to visit, Chu Yunli, who was still looking forward to it, completely gave up her thoughts. This marriage was going to last.
Putting the wedding aside, let's take care of the Zheng family first.
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Xueyue, the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette, got married. The groom was a candidate to take part in the examination later in the year. The neighbors all envied Zheng Yanming's good luck. The daughter of the Minister of Etiquette was married to a daughter, and she was still the legitimate daughter. She had a promising future.
, even if he fails in the examination, he can still rely on his in-laws to find an official position, and it is safe to enter the official career.
Therefore, Lin secretly borrowed money, and most of the people who could get the money were willing to donate generously to form a good relationship. How about forming a good relationship before they got married, and then they would still borrow money after they got married?
When the minister's daughter came in, she couldn't help even if she wanted to.
On the day Wu Xuanyue got married, Chu Yunli went out to see her. She sat on the third floor of the restaurant and watched the majestic wedding procession below. The dowry was worth fifty or sixty dollars. Zheng Yanming sat on the horse and looked around in high spirits.
The people watching the excitement raised their hands and thanked him.
Chu Yunli held her chin up and looked at it, wondering whether she should send a gift in person, when she heard Shao An next to him say, "The day I marry you, it will be more lively than them."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli didn't care much and said casually, "I'm afraid it won't be possible in this life."
Her tone was light and the disappointment in Shao An's eyes was fleeting, "It doesn't matter to me whether you marry or not?"
"That's right." Chu Yunli said without hesitation, "If I didn't marry you, I wouldn't marry anyone else."
Hearing this, Shao An was immediately satisfied and stood up immediately, "I will ask my mother to come to propose marriage when I get back."
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "If you want to be a concubine, forget it. I don't want to have someone burden me with assigning you to my room. I have to ask others when I go shopping."
Also, even if Shao An doesn't touch her, she still feels uncomfortable. Furthermore, if she really doesn't touch him, then the girl will be wronged. Why should a husband care about a concubine? He might not be able to figure it out after death, but he still has to let them
Dispel resentment.
Shao An looked cautious, "I will make her agree. If she really doesn't want to, I will find someone to propose marriage myself, or I will become my son-in-law..."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli couldn't help but chuckle, "It's better to say goodbye. If your mother finds out, she will dislike me even more. We are not in a hurry."
The two chatted for a long time, but they did not go to the outer city to congratulate them. The wedding was also postponed.
The New Year passed in a blink of an eye. Strangely enough, Mrs. Pei didn't like her, but the New Year's gift was sent to her, and Chu Yunli also returned the gift. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a family banquet in the palace. Shao An's grandfather Lao
The king of the county asked him to let his son take the title. The emperor agreed, Shao An's father became the king of the county, and Shao An also became the prince of the county on the spot.
Originally, many people were keeping an eye on his marriage, but now he has become the heir apparent. Although the position of heir apparent will be his sooner or later, but now it has been firmly established, he will be the county king in the future. His wife is the proper princess of the county.
, for a time, there were many more ladies visiting the county prince's house. It was often reported that a lady from one house had a very happy conversation with the princess, and that they were interested in getting married, but it was never reported that there was a definite candidate.
February is here in the blink of an eye, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. Chu Yunli likes to bask in the sun. In the past few months, she has not been idle at all. Several rouge and grain shops have been opened in and outside the capital, and two medical clinics have also been opened.
It's just that she didn't go to sit in the hall in person, and she couldn't explain it after she went.
She was lying in the yard basking in the sun when Ziyou came in and said, "Girl, someone is visiting outside. It's your cousin-in-law."
Chu Yunli opened her eyes, "Wu Yanyue?"
Seeing Ziyou nodding, she sat up and said, "Please come in."
Wu Xuanyue was dressed in a bright red dress, and was led in by a maid dressed in flowers and willows. Although the yard was not as elegant as the Shangshu Mansion, everything was exquisite, and the flowers and plants were trimmed in an orderly manner, giving it a unique charm.
These are not important, what is important is the location and size of this courtyard. Earlier, when someone said that she now lives here, Wu Xuanyue’s first reaction was disbelief. When she saw Chu Yunli sitting in the main seat in the hall, she
There is still a sense of unreality, "Do you really live here? Did you really buy the tables and chairs last year?"
Chu Yunli didn't answer and asked directly, "Why did Mrs. Zheng come to visit?"
After the surprise, he became angry, "You are smart enough to know that I don't like you. You took a step back. Why, how do you feel about living together with your cousin behind my back?"
"Don't you feel a little bit guilty or guilty towards me today?" She didn't sit down, and didn't even look at the tea the little girl brought her. She walked up to Chu Yunli and looked at her condescendingly, with contempt in her eyes.
.
Chu Yunli was stunned, and then realized, Wu Xuanyue meant that Zheng Yanming raised her in this yard? She immediately sneered, "Do you really think that Zheng Yanming is a treasure? Is there anything else in your mind besides love?"
Hearing this, Wu Xuanyue was extremely angry and raised her hand to hit her. Chu Yunli waved it away and stood up and said, "Only because of the Zheng family, can he buy this yard? I'm not afraid to tell you that I was raised by the Zheng family that day.
They took me more than 600,000 taels of silver, and I have been living on that for these years. They don’t support me, but I support them!”
Wu Xuanyue covered her face. She was so surprised by the news that she forgot about it when she was angry. She asked in surprise, "You are talking nonsense! Do you dare to say that you have no interest in your cousin? You didn't have a private meeting after I got married?"
As expected, the only person she cared about was Zheng Yanming. Chu Yunli crossed her arms and said, "I haven't seen him since I came out." She was very suspicious of why Wu Jinyue insisted that the two were still in contact, so she asked.
Wu Xuanyue avoided her eyes and said firmly, "He must have a woman outside!"
In the flash of lightning, Chu Yunli suddenly remembered the night she injected a few needles into Zheng Yanming, and suddenly understood the purpose of Wu Xuanyue's visit. She felt that Zheng Yanming didn't touch her because of her cousin.
Chu Yunli asked tentatively, "Don't you have that mushroom at home?"
Wu Xueyue said quickly, "I sold the mushrooms."
It's true that my mother-in-law has a lot to rely on, so she sells it when she says it will.
