Thinking back on the past, Yun Xiu had no appetite to eat at the same table with Xie Zongren, and was about to find some excuse to go back, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and then the mother-in-law said through the door: "Old lady, the second sister has sent something back from Yanjing City." ”

"Grandmother, it must be my sister who is talking about the winter solstice today, and calculate the time to send things back to Yangzhou to my sisters!" The eldest sister is like a mother, Yun Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, firstly, she really missed her siblings, and secondly, she finally found a suitable reason to leave.

The old lady was all happy with her, and asked someone to hurry up and take the cloak and go out, so as not to freeze the eight girls.

But when she walked to the verandah, Yun Xiu's pace slowed down, and she remembered that it was Zhong Yihou, a close friend of her second brother-in-law, who sent things this time.

However, the reputation of the Marquis of Zhongyi in the officialdom is mixed, Yun Xiu heard it in his previous life, and there are more rumors after going to Yanjing City, but it sounds like most of the people say that this person has won the title of less than twenty times, relying on the lord's family, he has won a few battles and is arrogant and unscrupulous, and the old marquis has a premature aging body, and he can't care about the only son-in-law, so he can go.

Xie Zongren was very cautious as an official in Beijing, and only confided in him after drinking, and the Marquis of Zhongyi was dissatisfied with Yun Yushi, which led to a rift between his sister and brother-in-law.

At the beginning, Yun Xiu was puzzled, his father had been dealing with salt merchants all the year round, how could he offend the Hou Ye of Yanjing City.

Now that I think about it, this time Marquis Zhongyi brought things to Yunfu is one of the few intersections.

In her previous life, she only cared about making friends with Xie Zongren, and didn't pay attention to what happened today.

Yun Xiu just took the opportunity to find out, but if Zhongyi Hou was a frivolous person, wouldn't he lose face if he recognized his identity.

"Chunlan, Chunlan." She called her name twice before the other person responded.

Chunlan hurriedly retracted her expression and asked, "Girl, what do you command?" ”

After only leaving for a while, I was gone......

Yun Xiu sneered in his heart, and his face turned cold: "You go back, call Chun Tao to come and serve." ”

Chunlan didn't dare to expose her daughter's thoughts, so she agreed again and again and left in a gloomy manner.

But at the time of a cup of tea, Chun Tao hurriedly came over, her breath was not even, and she said with concern: "Girl, I heard Chunlan say that you are looking for a slave, is she making the girl unhappy again?" ”

Yun Xiu looked at Chun Tao's anxious demeanor and red face, her mood inexplicably improved, and her expression was slightly gloomy: "It has nothing to do with her, I specially asked you to come over." ”

As he spoke, he unbuttoned the collar of his cloak: "Give me your cloak." ”

"I can't do it! I can't help it! Chun Tao shook her head in fright, "Girl, the slave maid's cloak is thin, you have only recovered from the cold, and then frozen, the old lady has to pick the skin of the slave and maid!" ”

As he spoke, Yun Xiu had already taken off his cloak and handed it over, urging: "You give it to me first, and we'll talk on the way." ”

Chun Tao was really helpless, so she hurriedly took off her cloak and put it on Yun Xiu, took the cloak herself, and followed all the way.

"You wear, don't get frostbite." Yun Xiu deliberately straightened his face and continued, "You will hide in the concierge for a while, and you will hear the little servant shouting the words 'Zhongyi Hou', hurry back and tell the distinguished guests from Grandmother's Mansion, do you know?" ”

The spring peach chick nodded like pecking rice: "Please rest assured, girl." ”

The two were talking, and Xie Zongren's voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Eight girls, please stay."

Yun Xiu was stunned for a moment, thinking about why he came?

Xie Zongren stopped three steps away, saluted, and said humbly: "The girl is in a hurry, I didn't listen to what the mother-in-law said, this time Yanjing brought a lot of things, there are seven or eight boxes, the eight girls are delicate, the old lady asks the girl to go back to Huishoutang first, it's not too late to see later." ”

It only took half a day to win the trust of the old lady.
