He looked unhappy, with a bit of disgust. But he held Chu Yunli's hand without moving away. It was obvious that this displeasure was only for her.
Xu Yaner's face turned a little pale, and he took two steps back and said rather embarrassedly, "Nothing, I just happened to meet him, I'll leave now."
She turned around and left quickly with her maid.
Chu Yunli looked at her back coldly. Maybe Xu Yan'er didn't notice it, but when she looked at Qin Shao just now, there was expectation in her eyes.
What to expect?
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes and looked at the big hand holding her own. She raised her eyes to meet his tender eyes and couldn't help but smile. This was hers and no one could take it away.
"Let's go, the one over there is prettier." Running away over there had no effect on Qin Shao at all. He led her forward, leaving a series of footprints in the snow.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and there are more and more disaster victims in the suburbs. The porridge of each family has been increased recently. Even those who are reluctant to part with food, the porridge is much thinner than before.
In that riot in the suburbs, the victims did not actually cause trouble, but the people around Qin Shao had problems. After that, Qin Shao severely punished the person and drove the whole family out of the capital. But now, the victims in the suburbs are getting more and more angry.
As more and more people come, it's hard to say that there won't be a real riot.
At this time, Princess Anping sent a message to each family, asking their wives to go to the princess's mansion to appreciate the plum blossoms and collect donations for the victims in the suburbs.
Princess Anping is the eldest daughter of the current emperor. She is a daughter of the empress. She is always very favored. She invites her to appreciate the plum blossoms. No matter who it is, the princess's face must be given. The person who goes is either rich or noble. As long as there is a caring person,
They will try their best to get a post to come to their door. If the daughter of the family is favored by a distinguished lady... becoming a concubine's daughter-in-law, or taking her as a concubine, either way is possible.
Naturally, there are posts in Duke Li Guo's Mansion. Xu Yan'er has been very depressed these days. It's just that it's inconvenient to eat and wear in the mansion. The key is that if you want to leave the mansion, you have to ask the Yao family. Nine times out of ten, he was rejected.
Even if I go back to my parents' home, I can only go back once a month.
Therefore, when Xu Yaner heard the news, he couldn't sit still. The next day when he was serving Yao family for dinner, he couldn't help but said, "Mom, can you take me to Princess Anping's post?"
"Do you want to go?" Yao asked back.
Of course Xu Yan'er wanted to go. At this time, her mother, Mrs. Amber, would definitely be there. Besides, she was tired of staying at home. Recently, she had been feeling irritable and wanted to go out to relax.
Yao looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Then go."
"Thank you, mother." A smile suddenly broke out on Xu Yaner's face.
Regarding going out, Xu Yaner used to go out whenever he wanted and go in whenever he wanted. Now he is so happy when he hears that he can go out. This shows that this person can develop a habit no matter what.
On that day, early in the morning, Mrs. Yao got on the carriage with her two daughters-in-law, "It's not that I won't let you sit separately, but the entrance to the Princess's Mansion is very crowded. We are in a carriage, so there won't be so much trouble."
Chu Yunli didn't care, and Xu Yan'er expressed understanding.
When the Princess Anping Mansion was originally built, it was larger than the Prince's Mansion. It occupied a large area and was in a good location, very close to the palace. Even if they went out in the morning, by the time they arrived at the Princess Mansion, it was already noon.
Most of the ladies have arrived, and the most popular ones in the garden are young girls.
After a few lifetimes, even if Chu Yunli didn't like such an occasion, she could still cope with it. She was quite leisurely. Mrs. Yao was talking in a low voice to her natal sister-in-law over there. Xu Yan'er had gone somewhere long ago. Chu Yunli herself,
Then I found a quiet place to sit.
As soon as I sat down, I heard the two girls chattering, "Xu Yan'er is here too, it's a shame."
"Yes, my second cousin told me. She was entangled herself and escaped from the marriage because of her second cousin. Who wants her to escape?" A somewhat familiar young woman said angrily, "In this case, my second cousin
If my cousin doesn't marry her and she goes to the ancient Buddha with a green lantern in the temple, wouldn't it be heartless and unjust?"
"Second Young Master is a good man, but I feel sorry for you." The voice came again at the beginning.
"What can I do?" Yao Rouwan sighed and said bitterly, "So I said she is a disaster star, whoever gets it will be unlucky. My mother brought me here just to find her... I really don't want to get married."
"Then you can't be a concubine!"
After a long while, Yao Rouwan's voice came slowly, "If second cousin goes to ask for it, actually I... am willing."
Chu Yunli was drinking tea, but she almost spit out her tea when she heard this. Should she praise Qin Qiyi for his charm?
In the afternoon, the banquet at Princess Anping's mansion began, and the food was on the table. Princess Anping slowly walked out from the back hall, wearing a majestic palace attire, with a relatively friendly expression on her face, and said with a smile, "Everyone is invited to come today.
It’s to appreciate the plum blossoms, well, it’s just for the victims outside the city.”
As soon as she spoke, the place became quiet.
"You all went to donate porridge earlier. You are all caring people. Here, on behalf of my father and the victims outside the city, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone." She stood up and bowed slightly.
The people below hurriedly said they didn't dare, so Yao lowered his voice and said, "The princess is hosting a banquet today. After all, it is to raise donations. Are you ready?"
This question was asked to Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli nodded slightly, "Yes."
She glanced at Xu Yan'er aside and asked, "What about you?"
Xu Yaner was dumbfounded and said for a long time, "I prepared five thousand taels of silver notes."
Yao's face relaxed, and she heard the princess above say, "I am very sad when the people are suffering. I cannot bear to have the people displaced and their flesh and blood separated. I am willing to donate 200,000 taels of silver to support the people."
A group of people below praised the princess for her righteousness, and immediately a young woman stood up and said, "I am willing to donate all the money in the dowry, twenty thousand taels."
The person who stood up was Princess Anping's newly married daughter-in-law last year. Everyone praised her again, and then came the prince's concubine, who also ranged from 20,000 taels to 50,000 taels. After her turn, she came to Yao family. She stood up leisurely,
He first praised the princess for her good deeds, and then said, "The Duke's government donated fifteen thousand taels of silver."
Fifteen thousand taels was quite a lot, and it did not steal the limelight of the princess in front. Chu Yunli stood up, took out the 10,000 taels of silver notes and put them into the tray of the mama who came over with the tray, and said with a smile, "I am doing the same.
The dowry contains 10,000 taels of silver in the box. I only hope that the people will suffer less cold and hunger. That is my wish."
Mrs. Yu was sitting not far from them. When she heard Chu Yunli say that it was dowry money, her face became stiff. The money was clearly the bottom of the box that she had prepared for her daughter, and later for Xu Yan'er. In fact, it was not even 100,000 yuan.
Two, I really can’t get them out.
Her slightly unnatural expression caught the eyes of everyone, and many people thought that she probably didn't like the wife of the prince. After all, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to have a daughter-in-law. What's more, the daughter-in-law was married.
The crown prince became the future patriarchal wife, firmly over his own daughter.
She paused and said quickly, "I want a small kitchen."
"Old ladies don't even have a small kitchen." Mr. Yao looked worried.
Xu Yaner was dumbfounded. What was so strange about this small kitchen? When she was not married, there was always a small kitchen at home just for her to stew health soup. She never expected that Mrs. Yao would say this.
The old lady of the country didn't even have a small kitchen. As a junior, she couldn't be more squeamish than her ancestors, but she was really uncomfortable. Thinking of the discomfort, she couldn't help but spit out "Wow".
