Chapter 60: Going to the Feast

Xi Yunzhi hugged Xiao An and sat on the recliner under the grape trellis, and couldn't come back to his senses after sitting for a long time.

Thinking back to the scene that had just happened, she felt that she was surrounded by fear and anger, what a terrible world it was, and they could even do it to an ignorant baby.

Thinking that those evil hands were almost going to really cover Xiao An's mouth and nose, she just felt cold all over her body when she thought about it. subconsciously hugged Xiao An in his arms, and while he was sleeping, he stretched out his little hand as if he was resisting, grabbed a strand of Xi Yunzhi's scattered hair, and then fell asleep again.

Seeing that there was a little abrasion on Xiao An's white and tender wrist, Xi Yunzhi's eyes became deep and gray, if this world has to be strong for you to protect your beloved, then ...... She will do whatever it takes to make herself strong, so strong that those people will never dare to do such a thing to her easily.

Xi Yunzhi hugged Xiao An and slept for a while, the little guy was hungry, so she carried him into the room to feed him, looking at Xiao An's quiet sleeping face, Xi Yunzhi's heart gradually calmed down.

If they moved something else, Xi Yunzhi might still be patient, but the object of their action was Xiao An...... Xi Yunzhi must not endure it anymore.

Leaving the child to be taken care of by the nurse, Xi Yunzhi walked out of the room, and saw Ruyi, who was still in shock, walking in with Zhen.

Xi Yunzhi invited Zhen to her embroidery room, and told Zhen what happened today, Zhen was also so frightened that his face turned white, and he shouted, 'Fortunately, fortunately', Xi Yunzhi knew that she was really worried about her and Xiao An, and felt relieved in her heart, so she told her about family life again, and Zhen left.

After leaving, Xi Yunzhi found Xiao Hei, and after saying a few words in his ear, Xiao Hei took the order and left over the wall.

But at dinnertime, Xiao Hei came back with first-hand news, and told everything Xi Yunzhi wanted to know.

Xi Yunzhi stared at the tent curtain all night, and the next morning, he had a plan in his heart.

And after figuring out some things, Xi Yunzhi's whole person became refreshed, after breakfast, after feeding, she walked into the next door from the arch specially opened in her yard, she took out the accounts of the recent purchase and sale, checked the list sent by Luoyang, and took back the list of several requests from Luoyang back to the yard.

It just so happened that Xiao An also woke up, the nurse was holding him in the yard to bask in the sun, the little head was lying on the nurse, very cute, Xi Yunzhi walked over, the nurse handed Xiao An into her hands, Xiao An seemed to know the smell of her mother, and arched her chest vigorously, Xi Yunzhi was amused by him, knowing that he was hungry, so he went into the room to feed, Xiao An fell asleep while eating, Xi Yunzhi looked at him for a while, and then walked out of the door.

The business of the shops in the north and south of Luoyang is very prosperous, and the letter from the shopkeeper said that it has almost driven the economic lifeline of Luoyang City, Xi Yunzhi feels that the shopkeeper is exaggerating, but in Luoyang City, now as far as she is concerned, there are more than 50 shops in her hands, which can be said to be the most in Luoyang, and the shops next to it just want to imitate, and they do not have such ability and capital, so many shops, only five or six are supported by Xi Yunzhi, and the rest are all the property sold by the Xi family with income.

Although Luoyang is thousands of miles away from the capital, as long as someone wants to investigate, it is not difficult to find out how much property she Xi Yunzhi has in Luoyang, since sooner or later she will be found out, then she doesn't want to hide anything.

On the same day, they asked Xiao Hei to find out the news of more than a dozen shops in the capital that needed to be bought and sold, and now Xi Yunzhi wants money and money, and she can even transfer the ships of the Cao Gang at will, so ...... What else is she polite?

went to the government to register the deed, Xi Yunzhi bought five shops in the city at once, three in the east and two in the west, her five shops were uniformly decorated, unified purchases, and opened at a unified time, and five acting shopkeepers from Luoyang came to the capital to take care of her business in the capital with the goods.

She listed all five shops under the names of North and South shops, and all of them were opened at the end of October.

While Zhen was shocked that Xi Yunzhi had such a large amount of financial resources, he also sent the only few servants in the mansion to help, like all the guests who had just come in, wandering around a north-south shop in Dongcheng, looking at this for a while, and looking at that for a while, it was very fresh.

"Where did you get all this stuff?"

Xi Yunzhi saw her holding a glass cup and looked at it fascinated, Xi Yunzhi was watching the guys put the things wrapped in layers of pulp and paper on the shelves, and said to Zhen:

"Didn't the prince tell you about me opening a store in Luoyang?"

Zhen put down the glass cup, picked up another colorful glazed rabbit, shook his head and said, "No, he runs outside every day, where does he have time to talk to me." ”

Xi Yunzhi asked a few guys to put a big pearl boat on the innermost shelf, and replied:

"I have opened two such stores in Luoyang in the past, so the supply of goods is not a problem. They are all my shopkeepers and buddies in the Luoyang store. ”

Zhen looked at Xi Yunzhi with some surprise, and after looking around again, he pouted and said, "It turns out that you can do business, I thought you wouldn't, you will be ashamed to get an axe in front of you." ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled after hearing this, and said modestly: "It's all a small business, it's not worth mentioning." The princess is the big one. ”

Zhen saw that Xi Yunzhi opened a shop and was not arrogant, so he began to comment on her store, Xi Yunzhi and the shopkeeper glanced at each other, and then went with her, she said while they were working, and when they were happy, they would reply a few words when they were happy, and then she was even happier.

Xi Yunzhi's shop has not been opened before this, and she has five or six shops as soon as she opens, almost all the downtown areas in the capital, so that others can't imitate it if they want to.

The pattern of the shops in the north and south still follows the old store in Luoyang, that is, the area is larger, and the shelves are more, but Xi Yunzhi still retains the guest seats and the shopping room on the second floor in the store, and this design is also popular with the ladies and girls of the boudoir in Beijing.

At the beginning of November, Xi Yunzhi once again received an invitation from the Beijing Ladies Circle to gather. The inviter is Li Lanji, the granddaughter of Li Youyan, the left minister.

Xi Yunzhi also generally knows the relationship between the Zuo Xiang and the Meng family, the husband once said that the Zuo Prime Minister Li You, the Dingyuan Marquis Mengfu, and the Zhenguo Gonghe Liancheng formed a party of their own in the court, and won countless party henchmen, and officials of all sizes have their wings to insert, such as Xi Yunzheng's Xianggong Zuo Governor Yu Shi Yin Zijian followed Zuo Xiang and hugged his thighs behind him.

And Li Lanji, Xi Yunzhi has never seen this person, but with the relationship between the Li family and the Meng family, Xi Yunzhi is sure that she and Princess Jing and others are in the same group, and that day Commander Yan Kun slapped Princess Jing in public, and later King Jing's Mansion did not send the palace guards to come to the door to settle the account, and Xi Yunzhi was able to guess the meaning of King Jing by one or two points.

Princess Jing treated her like that, it must be a means used by King Jing to deter her husband, because his husband has not publicly stated his position now, of course King Jing wants to entrap him, but her husband's hard temper is also well known, so King Jing wants to use her and the child to threaten her husband.

However, Yan Kun's appearance made King Jing retreat, because Princess Jing beating her was still a friction and contradiction between women after all, if he really dispatched the palace guards to compete with the Bu family, then the nature of the incident would become a contest between the prince and the courtiers.

At the last moment, King Jing would definitely not want to fall out with her husband, at least to maintain a semblance of peace.

Xi Yunzhi guessed that King Jing wanted to continue to use the nepotism to change the pressure policy on her, from strong suppression to hidden needles, and they were going to make her suffer some soft hardships.

Xi Yunzhi closed the invitation, nodded to the person who came to deliver the letter, and said:

"Well, in two days I will go to the feast."

After the messenger left, the corners of Xi Yunzhi's lips were slightly hooked, playing tricks and tricks, she Xi Yunzhi really wasn't afraid of anyone, Li Lanzhen was a lobbyist for the princess, so she would plan it, so why not vote for her.

***

The place where Li Lanzhen held the party was the city's premier garden mansion, and all families would have several mansions comparable to the royal family, and the Li Mansion was no exception.

Xi Yunzhi is the first time to participate in this kind of party, Ruyi and Ruyue want to ask her to wear fancy and luxurious, but Xi Yunzhi refused, she is wearing a lilac cardigan robe, if Xi Yunzhi in the past will not be able to wear charm, but now she has just given birth to a child, and her figure is still a little plump, this color has an untamable extravagance, she asked Ruyi to give her the most ordinary bun, and took out a gilded jade hairpin from her black treasure chest on her head, the whole person looks refreshing and elegant, Xi Yunzhi applied a little powder, and then became more and more exquisite, looked at the empty wrist, Xi Yunzhi picked out a transparent white jade bracelet from the baby, and put it on the wrist.

The party of everyone's young ladies is really all dressed and fragrant, and the ladies of various families take this opportunity to make friends, naturally all the good things are eager to be put on the table for everyone to see, and then accept the envious eyes from all parties to satisfy the vanity in their hearts.

Xi Yunzhi only entered the scene with Ruyi, found the most remote place to sit down, while drinking tea, while enjoying the beautiful scenery around him, Ruyi did not see the world before, and after a while, he squatted down and asked Xi Yunzhi what it was and what it was.

Xi Yunzhi answered them one by one, but unexpectedly ushered in a burst of crisp laughter, and a woman with a good temperament, accompanied by two cold maids, walked up to her, hooked her lips and said:

"Mrs. Bu's maidservant is really studious, she can ask several questions with an ordinary cup."

Xi Yunzhi stood up from the seat and smiled at the woman, blessed the body was considered a gift, only to see that the woman also returned the salute with the same attitude, and said to Xi Yunzhi:

"Yuehua Jushi is polite here, dare to ask Mrs. Bu if she has a nickname?"

Xi Yunzhi searched in his mind, Yuehua Jushi...... Is she Li Lanji? Ha, this circle is too vassally elegant, the crown princess is called Gufang Mountain, and the granddaughter of Zuo Xiang is a Yuehua resident, these women secretly step on the high and praise the low, but on the surface, they want to make a fake appearance of not eating the fireworks of the world, which is really ridiculous.

On the surface, he suddenly realized:

"It turned out to be Miss Li, the little woman's name is Xi Yunzhi, she is used to being rude, she doesn't have a nickname, but she makes Miss laugh."

Li Lanzhen saw that Xi Yunzhi's attitude towards her was very respectful, and she felt proud for a while, but on the surface, she was even more kind, so she just laughed:

"Mrs. Bu is serious, the likes of Ya are just the fashion of the capital, Mrs. Bu has been to the capital before, so I don't know, what is there to laugh at."

As he was talking, he heard a voice interject him, Xi Yunzheng was dressed luxuriously, followed behind the domineering Princess Jing, and showed disdain for Xi Yunzhi.

"Hmph, what kind of nickname can she have, she used to be just a low-grade businesswoman, just doing chores in my Xi family's shop."

Xi Yunzhi listened to Xi Yunzheng's words, and was not angry, just smiled, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xi Yunzheng beside him with a man, Xi Yunzhi felt familiar, and after looking at it twice, he vaguely remembered that he should be Xi Yun, who had just passed the examination not long ago, and now he is the son who came to the capital to wait for the exam, Xi Yunzheng's brother.

After Princess Jing glared at Xi Yunzhi coldly, she pulled Li Lanzhen aside and snubbed Xi Yunzhi.

Xi Yunzhi looked at their posture, and she was full, since they took the initiative to snub her, then she was also happy to be at ease, seeing Xi Yunzheng introduce Xi Yun to Li Lanzhen to know, Li Lanzhen looked at Xi Yun a few more times, Xi Yunzhi was able to see through their thoughts.

Xi Yunzheng must have begged Princess Jing to introduce Xi Yun to Li Lanji, which has a strong sense of matchmaking, it seems that he wants Xi Yun to take the towering tree of the Li family before taking the exam, and women can exchange their excellent looks for glory and wealth, and men are not unavoidable.

Xi Yun is Xi Yunzheng's sister-in-law, naturally he will not look too bad, his gestures are all romantic, and then use gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes to order, people who don't know the inside story really think that he is a handsome son, plus he has just learned to raise a son, it is not difficult to climb a good family.

I just don't know if Li Lanji, who is waiting for the boudoir, can look at the only remaining talent of the Xi family.

If she likes it, then Xi Yunzhi will light wax for Li Lanji, and she can only describe the man of the Xi family with the word 'hehe'. If Li Lanzhen doesn't like it, then she will have to wax Xi Yunzheng, because just now, she has seen greed in Xi Yun's eyes disguised as affectionate.

Xi Yunzheng desperately brought him to this circle full of noble girls, just like bringing a wolf into the sheepfold, Xi Yun just can't climb the big tree of Li Lanji, and will definitely go to climb other large and small trees in the noble women's circle, with his romantic talent and excellent appearance, he will definitely be able to capture a group of young ladies in the boudoir, and when the time comes, she will not lack excitement to see.

And Xi Yunzheng will one day, she will definitely regret bringing Xi Yun out and entering the house with a wolf, it is also her own brain, and she doesn't want to think about how her mother Shang Su'e treated the concubine in the past, if Xi Yun is really out, may he treat Xi Yunzheng, the sister who always pressed on his head in the past?

If he is an upright man, he will never come up with such a dirty means to cling to the powerful, if he is not upright, then in the future, there will be Xi Yunzheng bitter fruit to eat.
