36. Chapter 36
The house in Xifu Hutong was where Xue Jian lived before he was sealed. This alley is extremely inconspicuous in the huge capital, and it is safe to put Wu Yi here.
But if people want to leave, even the impregnable palace can't stay. Not to mention such a small house.
On the day Wu Yi fought, Xie Liangying and Xue Jian had been thinking about it in their hearts since they left. She didn't know Xie Liangying, and Xue Jian's name had been heard from Chai Jin's mouth a few times. From Chai Jin's words, it can be seen that the two of them have a good personal relationship, and Chai Jin wants to get closer to Xue Jian for other reasons. However, Xue Jian didn't seem to have any intention in this regard.
stayed, hoping that he could win Xue Jian's favor, win him over for Chai Jin, and then improve his status in Chai Jin's mind.
Wu Yi'an stayed in the house for a few days and observed carefully. Yunyang Hou and Miss Xie Wu didn't mean to let her be confined, except for an old woman who glanced at her, there was no one else in the house. Wu Yi wasn't sure if there was anyone else staring at it in the dark, she guessed there was.
left, went to Chai Jin, and begged him to find a way to hide himself in another house. Just like before......
Wu Yi bit her lip, a little unwilling. That's not what she really wants. has been hiding in the dark, she has no reputation, but her children will lose their status. Chai Jin has changed her lowly status back, and when she enters the mansion, she is a good concubine. Even if Chai Jin will have other women in the future, her identity and her children are second only to Princess Ke.
But will Chai Jin agree?
Wu Yi spent a lot of time by Chai Jin's side, but Chai Jin never mentioned it. Gradually, she also became a little dead. No matter how unwilling you are, you can't resist this thigh. But after seeing Xue Jian's affection for Xie Liangying, Wu Yi decided to take a gamble. Even if you have a dog by your side, you also have a little affection. What's more, she accompanies her carefully every day and is considerate and comforting.
Xie Fu on the other side.
Xie Liangying has been paying attention to the movements of the Xie family's grandmother, and it has been a few days, and she has not heard anything from the main house. If it weren't for what she saw with her own eyes that day, Xie Liangying would almost have thought that the Xie family's grandmother was really in control of everything.
It's so calm.
Xie Liangying took a jade scratch head, and the long jade scratch head reached into the bun and scratched the itch.
"Shuangjue, let Qingqiu bring the account book to me."
Qingqiu held a stack of account books and followed Shuangjue over. She has gradually figured out Xie Liangying's behavior, and knows that her girl will not ask her to look at the account book for no reason. The accounts of the shop were all made by Wei Yang, Xie Liangying believed him very much, and the account books sent over were put away with a cursory glance.
I'm afraid I'm thinking about moving money today.
Xie Liangying motioned for Qingqiu to put the account book on the table, and didn't look at it, but only asked, "How much cash do I have in my hand now?" β
Qingqiu opened the box he brought with a small key, and took out the silver tickets one by one for Xie Liangying to see.
It's not much, but more than two thousand taels of silver. This is Xie Liangying's full net worth, and she earned it from that shop.
Xie Liangying took the silver in her hand and looked at it one by one. "You get busy first."
Qingqiu looked at Shuangjue, who was not moving at all, blessed his body, and retreated.
Xie Liangying took out a fifty taels of silver tickets and asked Shuangjue, "Fifty taels, ask the small workshop to print something, is it enough?" β
Shuangjue said: "How much does the girl want?" β
"I'm afraid that there are a few hundred copies, just print a thousand copies."
"It should be about the same, the slave can go to a familiar printing workshop to negotiate the price."
Xie Liangying took out another silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to Shuangjue together with the fifty taels, "After it is printed, help me find someone to put it everywhere in the capital, and put it wherever the news spreads quickly." If you can do this, a hundred taels will be yours. β
Shuangjue took the silver ticket and said with a smile: "What does the lady want to do, just tell the slave and maid, and the Hou Ye will arrange it properly." β
Xie Liangying shook her head and looked at the ground at her feet with some apprehension, "I can't rely on him for everything." β
Otherwise, it will become his burden and affect him like in his previous life.
What Xie Liangying wanted was not to cling to Xue Jian's back, but to rely on herself and stand up slowly. I don't want to be on a par with Xue Jian, but as long as I don't just look at Xue Jian's broad back like in the past, and no longer let Xue Jian look down on him.
Shuangjue didn't know what happened to the two of them in his previous life, and he only felt that Xie Liangying's words sounded a little bleak. She diverted the conversation and said, "Madame is really a blessing person. Seeing Xie Liangying raise his eyebrows, he looked at himself curiously, and said with a smile, "There happened to be a kid in the house who wanted to marry a man who was missing silver, but Mrs. solved his urgent need." β
Xie Liangying knew that Shuangjue was specially looking for words to relieve herself, and said very face-savingly: "When I take charge of the financial power of the Hou Mansion in the future, I will be a good money boy." β
"Why wait for the future, Ah Ying wants, I'll give it with both hands now." Xue Jian walked in from outside the house as he spoke.
"Why are you here?!" And it's still a blue sky and a white day, and it's the main gate.
It's really unusual.
Shuangjue saluted Xue Jian, "Master Hou." β
Xue Jian glanced at the silver ticket in her hand and did not reach out to pull it back. He stuffed the written paper that Xie Liangying had put on the table into Shuangjue's hand, "This is what Ah Ying wants people to know." You go and get her done. At the end, he threw a meaningful look at Shuangjue.
Shuangjue nodded knowingly, and went out of the house to do errands. She is still nominally a member of the Hou Mansion, and the Xie family can't move her, and she comes and goes freely in the mansion except for a few forbidden places.
Without idle people, Xue Jian took a turn in Xie Liangying's boudoir, "Clean up, I'll take you out." β
Xie Liangying said, "Where are you going?" Seeing him wandering around, he said angrily, "Looking around in the women's boudoir is really a gentleman's style." β
"The eldest princess wants to meet you." Xue Jian stepped up to Xie Liangying, "Okay, okay, I don't look at it, just look at you, okay?" β
Xie Liangying slapped him, "What do I have to look at." Do you still want to serve me to change my clothes? β
"It's not a bad idea."
Xue Jian said that he was about to go to the closet to get clothes, but Xie Liangying hurriedly grabbed him when he saw this, "I'm joking." β
After getting the news that Xue Jian was coming, Mama Lian hurriedly came over, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Xue Jian and Xie Liangying pulling. She coughed lightly, "Master Hou also invites you to have a cup of tea outside." β
Xue Jian went outside in a good way.
After changing her clothes, Xie Liangying followed Xue Jian with a worried face. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and asked him, "The eldest princess sees me...... What to do? β
Xue Jian tightened her grip on her hand, "What are you afraid of, the eldest princess won't eat people." It's just looking for you to talk about the past. Rest assured, I'm here. β
Because of the experience in her previous life, Xie Liangying has always been very scared of Princess He'an. But people let her go, no matter how afraid she is, she has to go hard.
On the carriage to the eldest princess's mansion, Xue Jian played with a transparent jade cup and said lightly: "Wu Yi ran away." β
Xie Liangying said: "It's really as I thought." β
She didn't know if Wu Yi had caught up with Chai Jin in her previous life, as far as she knew, before Chai Jin was robbed of his title and committed suicide, there was always only Liu Chengfang in King Ke's mansion. After being reborn, she accidentally knew Wu Yi's storage, so she couldn't let go of this opportunity.
Liu Chengfang couldn't see it on the surface, but in her heart she was afraid that what she hated the most was her husband's concubine. Her mother's death and Zeng's correction left too much shadow in her heart.
Wu Yi will leave because she doesn't know exactly how to achieve her goal. Relying on Chai Jin? It's naΓ―ve. If Chai Jin and Wu Yi were the same in the previous life as they are now, then Chai Jin's choice would not change. Behind Liu Chengfang is the entire Liu family, how can Chai Jin be willing to do it.
Looking at Chai Jin, who is as gentle as jade, his true heart is no different from the eldest son of the emperor who only thinks about the throne. They don't give up on their quest because of a woman. If you have expectations of them, you will end up disappointing yourself.
Xie Liangying will help Wu Yi achieve her goal, but not now. It can't be now.
Xue Jian glanced at Xie Liangying who was contemplative, not very happy that her attention was not on herself. He interrupted her thoughts, "Are you going to tie her back?" β
"No need." Xie Liangying said slowly, "If you haven't suffered hardships, you won't have a long lesson." After telling her to know her cousin's methods, she will come back willingly. β
"It's all up to you." Xue Jian took out a box from his arms, "Put it on and try it." β
Xie Liangying opened the delicate little box, and inside was a pair of gold earbuds. There is a piece of worm on the top, which is a lifelike firefly.
It just answered her name.
Xie Liangying was a little surprised, took out a pair and looked at it repeatedly, "Where did you find it?" β
Xue Jian saw that she liked it, and she was also happy in her heart. "It's not really a worm, I can't find a better pair. I found a craftsman a few days ago who is good at making fake worms to deceive people. I thought that although I didn't make a living from those fake antiques, I could still make it worth asking him to be this lady who coaxed me. β
He approached Xie Liangying, "I caught this firefly myself." It's not summer time, and it's hard to make one, let alone a pair. β
Xie Liangying glanced at him, and couldn't help laughing when she saw his flattering face. "Then what do you want?"
Xue Jian said: "I'm not the one who has to repay what I give." Didn't the husband take Mrs.'s pearl earplugs last time? Let's take this as an apology. He encouraged Xie Liangying to put it on quickly, "Also tell me to see if it looks good." β
Xie Liangying took off the jewel gold pendant on her ear and replaced it with this pair of earbuds. She swayed from side to side for Xue Jian to see. "How?"
Xue Jian squinted, "Yes, it's ......"
"That's it?" Xie Liangying stared at Xue Jian nervously, touched the earbuds with both hands, and said in her heart, could it be that she was wearing it crookedly?
Xue Jian held her in his arms, "It's Madame's brilliance that overshadows the light of the fireflies, making me reluctant to blink." β
Xie Liangying took a sip of him, "I haven't been serious all day, so the Holy Lord can rest assured that he will entrust you with important things?" β
Speaking of the emperor, Xue Jian was slightly stunned.
Xie Liangying sensed that something was wrong with him, and turned her head to look at him, "What's wrong?" β
"It's fine."
Outside the carriage, Qing Xia called: "Master Hou, Miss, the eldest princess's mansion has arrived." β
Xue Jian let go of Xie Liangying and took the lead in lifting the curtain down, "Let's go, you can't tell the eldest princess to wait for a long time." β
