Chapter 67: Rumors Spread

On the day of Wang Yunxiu's wedding, Mrs. Su's dowry had naturally been prepared a long time ago. But those are all to be clearly recorded on the dowry list, and the clear road has been crossed. Mrs. Su stuffed these things to Wang Yunxiu in advance at this time, naturally hoping to give her granddaughter more silver in her private treasury.

Mrs. Su's words, Wang Yunxiu really didn't accept it now, and she didn't accept it, she looked at the mahogany box at a loss, and then turned her head to look at Mrs. Su, and finally at Mrs. Su's insistence, she took a thousand taels of silver tickets out of the box, and the rest was returned to Mrs. Su, "Grandmother, I'll just take this thousand taels of silver tickets, grandmother's heart and granddaughter will understand it, and the rest is still for grandmother to keep." ”

Seeing that she really couldn't screw Wang Yunxiu, Mrs. Su nodded, and asked Mama Su to put away the things, so she asked Wang Yunxiu in a low voice what she was learning recently, but there was anything unpleasant. I heard that when she was learning to settle accounts, Mrs. Su smiled and said "huh", and took the test with two questions, and when she saw Wang Yunxiu's answers, she nodded and praised again and again.

After having lunch with Mrs. Su, seeing that Mrs. Su was a little sleepy, Wang Yunxiu got up to say goodbye, so that her grandmother could take a nap for a while. Mrs. Su didn't stay long, but just explained, "Mama Su made some glutinous rice cakes, some of them are sweet and I don't like to eat them, you can take them back and eat them." ”

"Thank you, grandmother. Thank you, Mama Su. Wang Yunxiu leaned over and saluted, took the food box from Mama Su and handed it to Lan Xue, and bowed again before leaving. After watching Wang Yun embroider out of Wan'an Hall, Mama Su went back to the room to resume her life, "Old lady, the eldest girl has gone back." ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Su nodded, and was helped by Mama Su to lie down on the bed to rest.

When Wang Yunxiu returned to the house, Lan Xue thought about taking out the glutinous rice cake and placing it on the table for the girl to taste. After opening the food box, I found that there were several folded pieces of paper next to a stack of glutinous rice cakes. Lan Xue took out the paper suspiciously, but found that it was the deed of the shop, and was immediately shocked, and hurriedly reported it to Wang Yunxiu.

Wang Yunxiu pinched the deed of the two shops and looked at them, but did not reply for a long time.

Lan Xue cautiously glanced at Wang Yunxiu's expression, she was also guarding in Wan'an Hall just now, and the girl's meaning couldn't be clearer, so she said tentatively at this moment, "Girl, otherwise I'll send it back to the old lady?" ”

"No need, grandmother gave it, then take it." Wang Yunxiu smiled a little helplessly and sighed, she didn't expect her grandmother to play these tricks, and put the deed in the food box and send it to her, such a roundabout tactic is really difficult for her.

Here, when Xu Jiayi returned to the courtyard, she saw Xiangqiaohou at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw them coming back, she hurriedly greeted them and bowed down, "Girl, Chu Shizi is here." ”

Uncle Cousin?

Xu Jiayi raised her eyebrows in some surprise and asked, "Did my cousin say why he came?" ”

Xiangqiao shook her head and said that she didn't know, and as soon as Chu Shizi came, she asked if the girl was there. As soon as she replied "not there", Chu Shizi sat in the room and waited, so she naturally didn't want to ask.

Hearing this, Xu Jiayi nodded slightly, and walked towards the house.

Chu Changfeng in the house heard the sound outside, and felt that Xu Jiayi was back, so he stood up and waited at the door, watching her slowly and leisurely walk over from the house. The warm winter sun shone down obliquely, spreading a halo behind her, blurring her figure and making it impossible to see her expression.

As if there was an electrocardiogram, Xu Jiayi subconsciously looked up and saw Chu Changfeng.

Look at each other, do not avoid it.

Chu Changfeng was a little dazed, and when he reacted, Xu Jiayi had already arrived in front of him, and he was bowing his head to say goodbye. Chu Changfeng waved his hand to let her in, and Xu Jiayi invited Chu Changfeng into the house. I caught a glimpse that the dim sum on the table had not moved at all, but the tea in the teacup had been drunk two-thirds of the way.

Xu Jiayi saw it, and Cuiyun naturally saw it too, and immediately came in with a cup of hot tea to replace it.

"Uncle Cousin, is there something you are doing here?"

Chu Changfeng's eyelashes raised slightly, "Can't you come over if you're fine?" ”

"That's not what I meant......," Xu Jiayi shook her head, "It's just that Uncle Cousin, you're busy on weekdays, and you suddenly came to my yard and were a little curious." I also wanted to visit my cousin for a long time, but I didn't go for fear of disturbing my cousin's work. ”

Xu Jiayi was stunned by him, and was thinking about whether he had said something wrong, but he heard the man sitting opposite say unhurriedly, "What's the matter, the sachet made for me hasn't been done yet?" I remember you said it would be done in three to five days. ”

"Huh?" Xu Jiayi's eyes widened, and at this time, she didn't care about the difference between men and women staring at Chu Changfeng's eyes, seeing that his face was full of seriousness and no joke, she could only lie vaguely, "I'm already doing it, it's almost finished, I'll send it to my cousin when I'm done." ”

Seeing that Xu Jiayi bowed her head weakly and didn't dare to look at him, Chu Changfeng guessed that the actual situation would not be as she said, but he nodded on his face and did not debunk it, but started another conversation, "I have also heard about the recent events in the house, these women in Yanjing City have always liked to talk nonsense, if someone says something in front of you, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"Of course, if they bully you, you don't have to endure it, you should fight back. You are a girl from the Shangshu family, so you don't have to be afraid of anyone. If you really can't do it, you just move my cousin out and scare them. When Chu Changfeng said the last sentence, his face was serious, his eyes were sharp, and he was terrifying when he looked at it.

Chu Changfeng is the son of the Marquis of Anping, and the old marquis is the general who guards the border pass, guarding the peace of the border pass for decades. Not to mention the military power, he is even more capable of writing and martial arts, and is loved by others, and even the emperor relies on him very much. However, it is a pity that he was seriously injured in a battle later, and he can no longer hold a sword to go to the battlefield, so he can only hand over the main power to his son, and he will assist from the side.

Even if Chu Changfeng is a straw bag, there will be many people in Yanjing City who are willing to hold him, not to mention that he himself is young and promising, when he was seventeen years old, he followed his father to the battlefield and cut off the head of the enemy's forward general. Now he is only 21 years old, and he has already made countless meritorious contributions.

The status is precious, and Chu Changfeng is now loved by the emperor, and he is a character who can really walk sideways in Yanjing City. As the niece he identifies as his daughter, if you want to bully her, you have to weigh your own weight first, and this is what Chu Changfeng meant.

Although I don't know why the emperor summoned Chu Changfeng to suddenly return to Yanjing City from the border pass, and why he didn't go back to the mansion of the Marquis of Anping in Yanjing City, but borrowed to live in their Hubu Shangshu Mansion.

Xu Jiayi knew that this was Chu Changfeng comforting herself, although the age gap between the two was not particularly large, she really regarded him as her elder, but she didn't know him very well. If you meet him, you can also say hello and say hello, but you don't want to do anything under his banner.

And Chu Changfeng was so close to her, she was a little uncomfortable, so she replied loudly, "Uncle Cousin doesn't have to worry about me, no matter what he says outside, it won't hinder me from anything, and they don't dare to say this in front of me." ”

What's more, she doesn't care at all.

After saying so much, Chu Changfeng also felt that he had lost his words today, and what he said had exceeded the scope of what his cousin should have, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

But he didn't think about those words at all, and he said them directly when he saw Xu Jiayi. Chu Changfeng felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but pay too much attention to this niece.

Chu Changfeng frowned, nodded slightly, rejected Xu Jiayi's polite proposal to invite him to share lunch, and left directly.

With Chu Changfeng personally coming over to ask for sachets, Xu Jiayi didn't dare to take this matter to heart anymore. The big words have already been said, and the finishing work will only take a day or two to finish, so she must finish the sachet within two days.

Fortunately, the production of the sachet is not difficult, Xu Jiayi has stayed up all night and has done most of it, and only went back to bed to rest for a while when it was almost dawn, and after waking up, he rushed for two hours, and finally made the rest of the sachet, and then sent Cuiyun to send things to Chu Changfeng, so that the matter was settled, and he went back to bed to make up for sleep after lunch.

Wang Yunxiu's wedding date is set for March 18, and everyone in Shangshu Mansion is preparing for this. It's just that everyone didn't expect that on the eighth day of the third month, which was only ten days away from Wang Yunxiu's wedding, there was already a rumor in Yanjing City with Hubu Shangshufu as the protagonist.

Mu Qingfeng and Mu Shizi of Jiaqing Bo Mansion enlarged the belly of Cui Qing, the cousin of Hubu Shangshu Mansion. Now Jiaqing Bofu still doesn't want to admit it, and Shangshu Mansion has no choice but to send Miss Cui to Zhuangzi.

Nowadays, there are different opinions outside, some people are secretly scolding Jiaqing Bofu for not being kind, and some people are ridiculing the Hubu Shangshu Mansion for really raising a "good girl" who climbs the bed, and even some people came to the door in person to ask for a certificate or two, but they were all blocked back.

When Zhao first heard about this, Rao is good temper couldn't help but drop a set of tea sets, but fortunately, Mrs. Su calmed down after persuading her in the past.

The Jiaqing Bofu and the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, which were the main figures in this rumor, secretly sent people to suppress the rumor, but with little success, and on the contrary, there was a tendency to become more and more intense. In the end, even the emperor heard about it, and the court also criticized Wang Hongsheng and Mu Wu by name, and ordered them to end the matter earlier.

After leaving the court, Wang Hongsheng and Mu Wu were both in a cold sweat, and they were tired of each other at a glance, but they had to sit together to discuss countermeasures. Now that both families know about it, someone must be adding fuel to the fire behind this matter.

When Xu Jiayi heard about this, the first thing that came to mind was Cui Qing, but this name was crossed out by her after a circle in her mind. Cui Qing is just a boudoir girl, how can she have such a big ability to make rumors spread in Yanjing City, and even the power of her grandfather and Jiaqing Bofu can't be suppressed, and she even reaches the heavens?
