Chapter 54: Invitations

Xi Yunzhi looked up at Xi Yunzheng standing on the stairs and felt that this world was too small. However, this is also to be expected, after all, the matter of Shang Su'e being sentenced to behead after the autumn has been spread to the capital, and at first Xi Yunzhi was worried that Xi Yunzheng, who was far away in the capital, would Xi Yunzheng, who was the wife of the Zuo Governor Yushi, intervene, but unfortunately, she didn't.

I think it was Zuo Du Yushi who refused to cooperate, so Xi Yunzheng had no choice but to find her bad luck here.

Xi Yunzhi took a deep breath, put down the hand covering her cheek, lowered her eyes, stepped aside, and decided to hold back this breath for the time being, because she didn't want to fight with her on the street, and besides, in the unfamiliar capital, she didn't have the ability to provoke the anger of Mrs. Zuo Yushi.

In a person's life, there are many places where he is angry, and when he can't fight back in one fell swoop, he can only endure.

Xi Yunzheng had a cold face, his noble and gorgeous face was as cold as frost, and with a disdainful attitude, he passed by Xi Yunzhi on the corridor with elegant steps, thinking that this was the end of the matter, but as Xi Yunzheng walked, his shoulders suddenly became short, and the whole person pounced directly in an unrestrained posture.

"Ahh

The screams sounded one after another in the tea room, and several of Xi Yunzheng's maidservants were implicated and pressed under Xi Yunzheng when they fell, and those who were not implicated were so frightened that they hurriedly ran over to help Xi Yunzheng up.

In Xi Yunzhi's shocked gaze, Zhen retracted his big feet, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I want to kick this foot as soon as I see a pretending woman, how many years, I just can't help it." ”

Xi Yunzhi saw that she obviously had a smug look, but she insisted on making a 'can't hold back' pain, and couldn't help but be amused by her to cover her lips and smile, seeing Xi Yunzheng get up from the ground, her gorgeous clothes were also scratched, and her high bun was messy, and the spectators around her all held back their laughter and pointed at her, Xi Yunzheng felt extremely embarrassed, annoyed and angry, and asked the maid to call the palace guard in, and asked Xi Yunzhi and Zhen to arrest them on the spot to take revenge.

But he was frightened by Zhen's roar: "Who dares to touch me?" I'm a princess. ”

Only then did Xi Yunzheng raise his hand to stop the guards who were hugging up, and his resentful gaze swept a few glances at Princess Zhen of Ji, and then her identity was confirmed, and she turned away angrily, she couldn't even do the most basic etiquette in her anger, and it was obvious that after this battle, she was not afraid of offending this nominal princess on the table at all.

Xi Yunzhi is very grateful to Zhen for her righteousness and bravery, and feels that although this woman is rough on the outside, she is full of chivalry on the inside, unlike ordinary ladies, and she has an iron fist.

Zhen also seemed to have returned from a catastrophe, desperately eating to suppress her shock, this kick made her forget all about the quarrel with King Ji, and her eyes were full of excitement and fear after doing bad things.

"Her name is Xi Yunzheng, your name is Xi Yunzhi, I should have thought of you knowing." Zhen sat at the window and ate a lot.

Xi Yunzhi sat aside and drank tea quietly, explaining the relationship with her:

"She is my maiden sister, her mother killed a maid in the house many years ago, and I happened to see it, and now this matter has been found out by the government, and I was also called to the government for questioning, I told the truth, and her mother was convicted. That's why she's going to take her resentment out of me at this time. ”

Zhen was also very angry after hearing this: "Ha, I have long seen her unpleasantly." Always follow Meng Xiao with a lofty attitude.,I hate it when I see it.。 ”

Xi Yunzhi heard Bu Qin mention the name Meng Xiao, she is Princess Jing, the Meng family has two daughters with both ability and integrity, one is married to King Jing, and the other is married to the prince, before Xi Yunzhi saw Zhen's attitude towards Princess Jing on the street, she knew that she really didn't like Princess Jing.

However, think about it, she is also the daughter-in-law of the royal family, but Princess Jing is so magnificent, and she is overstretched everywhere, while working hard for the family every day, she also has to deal with her husband's extravagance.

Xi Yunzhi thanked Zhen for holding her grievances, although it was likely to cause unnecessary trouble, but she was still very grateful, because in this age, it is really rare to meet a woman like Zhen who is dedicated to her friends.

Zhen was full of food and drink, Xi Yunzhi wrapped a lot of snacks and pastries for Zhen to take back to the house, Zhen thanked her repeatedly, but she did not shirk, Xi Yunzhi saw her walking alone to Bujia to find her, so she asked the sedan chair to send her back to the palace directly, Zhen wanted to invite her in, but knew that there were foreign affairs in the house that had not been dealt with, and it was not good to receive guests in a stable manner.

***

Xi Yunzhi returned home, saw that Bu Qin's horse had been tied to the horse pen, knowing that he had returned, he involuntarily touched his cheek, for fear that there would be fingerprints left, Xi Yunzhi did not go to the study to find him first, but went back to the room first, and after looking in the mirror, he found that there were no traces left on his cheeks, so he was relieved.

was about to turn around, but he heard a cold and hard male voice behind him:

"Where did you go with Princess Ji today, why didn't you go out with Ruyi and Ruyue?"

Bu Qin held a book in one hand, leaned against the door with his hands on his chest in an ink-colored regular suit, his posture was chic, and he was handsome and graceful, he looked at Xi Yunzhi like that, Xi Yunzhi was stunned by his question, and then replied:

"Oh, Princess Ji has some things on her mind today, I accompanied her out for a walk, drank some flower tea in the tea house, and came back."

Xi Yunzhi hugged his stomach and walked towards him, saying as he walked, Bu Qin stood up straight and opened his arms to meet her, Xi Yunzhi was encircled by him, the two were separated by a stomach, Bu Qin looked down at her stomach:

"It's bigger."

Xi Yunzhi touched his stomach and smiled: "Well, he kicked me a few days ago." ”

"Really?" Bu Qin looked very interested, and also stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on Xi Yunzhi's stomach, and said gently: "Next time he kicks you again, you tell me, I will teach him a lesson." ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled: "How do you want to teach him, pick him up and beat him?" ”

Bu Qin rubbed the back of her head, helped her out of the door, hooked her lips and smiled: "Then keep the account first, and then teach him a lesson when he comes out." ”

In just one month, Xi Yunzhi has bought more than 30 houses of different sizes and sold thirteen sets, and he used the money he earned, after carefully choosing, he bought two shops to test the water, and felt that the shop was indeed more troublesome than the house.

The shops in the capital are registered in the government, although they are also private transactions, but they involve issues such as taxation, so the general shops are bought and sold for a longer time, although the return is also high, but the risk is greater than that of ordinary houses.

Therefore, after she bought two houses, she stopped there and continued to tinker with the housing business of the people in the capital, because many houses were vacant, and before she found a buyer, Xi Yunzhi planned to rent out some of them, which would be another income.

On this day, Bu Qin came back from outside, Liu Ma went out for a stroll today, and came back late, so now she is still busy cooking in the kitchen, Bu Qin went to the room to find Xi Yunzhi, but when she returned to the room, she saw Xi Yunzhi sitting on the soft couch straight, and the coffee table in the middle of the soft couch was pushed to the innermost by her, only to see an abacus in front of her, surrounded by stacks of silver tickets, Bu Qin frowned and walked over, picked up a silver ticket and looked at it, it turned out to be a large sheet of five hundred and one thousand taels of denominations, and saw Xi Yunzhi's abacus crackling, A serious look is very cute in Bu Qin's opinion, her appearance, to say that it sounds serious, to put it bluntly, it is a money fan.

After she finished the abacus and calculated the accounts, Bu Qin had already gone to the study, and after Xi Yunzhi hid all the silver tickets in her small vault, she went to the study with her stomach to report to her husband.

Bu Qin stood in front of the bookshelf and rummaged through the books, and when he saw her entering, he asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"Okay?"

Xi Yunzhi nodded, and in a good mood, she walked over and hugged Bu Qin, nodded and said, "Hmm." All right. ”

Bu Qin touched her hair and said, "Ten people are enough?" Not enough, I'll send you some more. ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled: "It's enough, your soldiers can't all be transferred to do things for me." ”

Bu Qin looked at her smiling face, and an extremely satisfied emotion rose in his heart, which was enough for him to put all the unhappiness behind him, and said with a smile:

"If I hadn't stopped me, those guys would have come to you one by one to recommend themselves. They all now feel that the general's wife is better than the general, and the general's wife is gentle, considerate, beautiful, and generous. ”

Xi Yunzhi laughed at what he said: "Are these people praising me, or are you praising me, husband?" ”

Bu Qin shrugged: "It's all the same." ”

"There aren't so many people anymore. Ten is just right, five go out to investigate, five come forward to trade for me, I don't even have to show up, I can make money. Of course, I didn't treat them badly, and I gave them a commission of 500 taels if I didn't make a deal. ”

Bu Qin listened to her words, and felt that even he was a little moved by this condition, and couldn't help but nod and say:

"It seems...... I'm really going to have to change a group of people to do what you're doing here. Otherwise, they really won't be able to control them. ”

Xi Yunzhi was puzzled: "Why can't you control it?" ”

Bu Qin kissed her lightly on the forehead: "Your conditions are so generous, and the work is easy, how can others not be blushing?" No wonder they've been distracted from training lately. ”

At the beginning of May, there are catkins floating in the air, the spring breeze blows, the dumpling leaves are fragrant, every household is washing rice in the river, dipping the basket and wrapping the zongzi, welcoming the Dragon Boat Festival.

The courtyard of the Bu family is no exception, Xi Yunzhi sat on a chair, took out the hoop leaves soaked in water and flattened them and handed them to Liu's mother, Ruyi and Ruyue squatted by the well to wash rice, and the other brought the washed rice and poured it into the large porcelain basin in front of Liu's mother.

Originally, there were few Bu family members, and there was no need to wrap too much, but Xi Yunzhi thought that the soldiers in Bu Qin's hands would leave their hometowns one by one, so naturally they couldn't eat the zongzi in their hometown, so they decided to pack more in advance, and on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, they asked Zhao Yi and Han Feng to come back and get them to the camp and give the soldiers a taste.

In addition, she came to the capital for the first time, although she didn't have many friends, but she still had to do something about Jiwangfu.

After this arrangement, after Xi Yunzhi wrapped the first pot of zongzi, she asked Ruyi to take a colorful bamboo basket, fished out the chubby zongzi from the pot, put them in the basket, and then covered them with cotton cloth, she went out with Ruyi and sent these zongzi to Princess Ji in person.

Princess Ji listened to the notice of the concierge and personally went to the door to greet Xi Yunzhi, but the two women had not seen each other for three or five days, so they looked like they wanted to kill each other, and they entered the palace by pulling and pulling.

Xi Yunzhi had never seen what the palace was like, but she was sure that the Jiwang Mansion must be the smallest of all the palace specifications.

Because there are only three in and three out of eight suites, and even the area of the house in Xi Yunzhi's hand at this time is large, and the layout in the palace is also very general, but you can see the hostess's interests and hobbies from the layout of the palace, all the scenery is a picture, workmanship and material, Zhen cares carelessly, she doesn't care if the thing is made by a famous craftsman, and she doesn't care if the material of the thing is superior, all she wants is the word 'have'.

After getting along for so long, Xi Yunzhi knows a little bit of Zhen's personality that loves to compare, what others 'have', she must also 'have', even if it is fake, the workmanship is not as good as others, as long as there is it.

She took Xi Yunzhi directly to her master bedroom, and before Xi Yunzhi sat down, she saw that her bedroom was covered with dresses, and Zhen explained with some embarrassment:

"Oh, ten days later, there will be a peony conference, and all the ladies and ladies of the city have been invited to participate, and I am choosing clothes."

Zhen invited Xi Yunzhi to sit down, and Xi Yunzhi smiled and asked:

"What does the Peony Conference do?"

Zhen saw that she didn't understand, so he explained everything: "Every year, the royal family will hold a flower-viewing banquet, three times a year, and this is the first time that the Dragon Boat Festival will be invited to participate in the noble ladies and noble ladies in the city." ”

Seeing that Xi Yunzhi had a slightly understanding look on her face, Zhen was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he couldn't wait to add:

"These invitations are all wholesale, and if you first come to the capital, I'm afraid you won't receive them until later."

Xi Yunzhi smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a noblewoman, what do they ask me to do?" ”

Zhen shook his finger at her: "That's because you don't know, how prosperous the Bu family was in the past, if the daughter-in-law of the Bu family is not a noblewoman, then there will be no woman in the entire capital who dares to call a 'noble' word, just like the old lady and Mrs. Bu in the past, both of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were canonized as Mrs. Yipin." ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi has also heard of her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, these two women whose lives are more expensive than gold, were born in that era when the step family was in full swing, but it is a pity that they both died early.

After staying in the Jiwang Mansion for a while, Xi Yunzhi offered to leave, and the Zhen family asked her to stay in the palace for a while, but Xi Yunzhi also refused on the grounds that her stomach was too big and inconvenient.

When she returned home, Liu's mother played the role of the housekeeper of the Yan Bo who stayed in Luoyang to take care of her, and sent Xi Yunzhi a delicate invitation with gold patterns on a white background......

The author has something to say: bless it to send out!!
