Lord Minzhi stared at Shangguan Xun coldly, and said coldly: "Shangguan Gongzi, you are a good friend of Yuzhi, you don't know how badly he is being harmed by the people of Ninghou Mansion now, why are you now the person who is helping Ninghou Mansion?" ”

"Although I have a great relationship with Yuyuki, it doesn't mean that you can do things regardless of proportion." Shangguan Xun said lightly, "To be fair, Yuzhi today is not because of Ninghou Mansion, doesn't he have a reason at all?" From another point of view, Ninghou Mansion was more affected. ”

"Ninghou Mansion affected? Which eye did you see that the Ninghou Mansion was affected? Lord Minzhi smiled mockingly, "A few days ago, they held a poetry meeting with great fanfare, and today they asked for this painting again, I see that their lives are very happy, but they don't look like they are affected at all!" ”

"Do you have to live a crying life to be as you want?" Chu Yueyun smiled sarcastically, "Now it's up to you to see who is worse and who can be considered a victim?" ”

Lord Minzhi's eyes narrowed, staring at Shangguan Xun and sneering: "Master Shangguan, I advise you to stay away from the ladies of Ninghou Mansion, otherwise you will be the next to suffer." You are a famous son, mixing with these people will damage your reputation, they don't care, you have a bright future, you won't want your own future for them, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

"The county lord's words are too ugly." Chu Yueyun gritted her teeth, "Our young lady from Ninghou Mansion is innocent, who will be delayed?" ”

Chu Yue'an pulled Chu Yueyun's sleeve, so that she didn't have to be angry, and said with a shallow smile: "The meaning of these words can also be returned to the county lord as it is, and I also advise the county lord to stay away from Qi Yuzhi, this person's personal morality is damaged, and he has no responsibility, the county lord has a noble status, and he is both talented and beautiful, so he should stay away from this kind of person, so as not to be delayed in happiness." ”

"You! I'm going to tear your stinky mouth today! Lord Minzhi scolded, "Chu Yue'an, you are saying that you are too presumptuous!" ”

Shangguan Xun sighed, shook his head and said, "You are all people with status, and it is not good for anyone to scold you on the street for losing your identity. Today's matter, let's leave it at that, endless entanglement, to say it, it is not good for both of you. ”

Lord Minzhi lowered the curtain and let the car drive away.

Chu Yue'an looked for blessings towards Shangguan: "Thank you Shangguan Gongzi for standing up for us today." ”

"I just cherish this painting, and I can't bear to damage it." Shangguan looked at Chu Yue'an and asked, "If I hadn't stood up and spoken, and Lord Minzhi forcibly robbed this painting, would you really destroy this painting?" ”

"Yes." Chu Yuean said calmly.

Shangguan Xun withdrew the gaze cast on Chu Yue'an's face and arched his hand: "I still have some things, so I will leave." ”

Chu Yueyun breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I really thought that the hateful county lord was ...... I have always thought that the county lord of Xianluo is domineering, but now compared to this county lord of Minzhi, the county lord of Xianluo is a little fairy. ”

After returning to the Hou Mansion, the news that Chu Yue'an spent 15,000 taels to buy a painting had already come back, the old lady was so angry that she didn't eat, Chu Yuan was so painful that she didn't even have the energy to deal with official business, and after asking Chu Yue'an to come back, she immediately went to Chunjing Garden to reply.

"I've seen my grandmother, my father." Chu Yue Anfu saluted.

"Let me ask you, did you really buy a painting for fifteen thousand taels?" Chu Yuan asked angrily, "What is the current situation in the Hou Mansion, you don't know, how can you behave so recklessly?" ”

"This is the money I asked my uncle to take, and it was not taken out of the account book of the Hou Mansion." Chu Yueyun said, "Grandmother and father don't have to feel distressed. ”

That's fifteen thousand taels of white silver, how many things can be done, Chu Yuan's eyes were red, since the Zhao family has money and nowhere to spend, why not honor the Hou Mansion more every year, then the Hou Mansion doesn't know how to be stretched as it is now, he just thinks about how to card the business of Yongji Pharmacy in the future, so as to mention the Zhao family, but he didn't expect that now that Yongji Pharmacy has caught up with the King of Chu, the role of Ninghou Mansion is getting smaller and smaller.

"Even though it cost so much money, I think it's a good deal." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "I heard that the eldest princess loves painting, I took this painting and gave it to her, she accepted me as an apprentice, and also gave me a priceless guqin, I have nothing to honor her, only to send a painting she likes, talk about her heart, I think my grandmother and father should not object, right?" ”

"Since it's a gift for the eldest princess, it should naturally be more valuable." The old lady sighed, paused and said, "It's just that this more than 10,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and you should also discuss it with the adults when you spend money, so as not to deceive someone." ”

"Grandmother is kind-hearted, and Yue Anxin understands it." Chu Yue'an smiled slightly, "In the future, you must remember that you won't be so impulsive again." ”

Chu Yuan sat down, looked at Chu Yueyun and coughed, and asked, "Your uncle has been doing a good business recently, right?" ”

"I only whispered to my father about this, and my father should not tell others." Chu Yueyun said, "In the past, my uncle always asked my father to join you as a shareholder, but my father was afraid of losing money, so he never agreed. His Royal Highness the King of Chu has joined the shares, and he has divided seven thousand taels in the first month, and he will have more in the future. If the father had partnered with his uncle earlier, it would have been a problem for him to divide 18,000 a month now. ”

"King Chu is a shareholder?" Chu Yuan was surprised, "Why didn't you tell me about this?" ”

"Father, the heavenly family prohibits business and people to compete for profits, this matter is already secret, and I only know it, my father must not make a noise." Chu Yueyun said.

Chu Yuan's face became a little bad, before Yongji Pharmacy needed Ninghou Mansion, he could enjoy the silver that the Zhao family brought to Ninghou Mansion every year without any scruples, but now the influence of the King of Chu obviously exceeds his own, so he has no advantage in front of the Zhao family, how can he let the Zhao family continue to support Ninghou Mansion?

Chu Yueyun saw through Chu Yuan's thoughts: "But don't worry, father, which channels introduced by Ninghou Mansion are still maintained, my uncle will not forget the support of our Ninghou Mansion." ”

She said that these purposes today are one, to knock her father, and want the Zhao family to continue to support Ninghou Mansion, then there is only one reason, that is, mother, only if the mother is good, the relationship between the Zhao family and Ninghou Mansion will be better. Recently, his father has regained favor with Zhao Qianru, and he has become even more indifferent to his mother, and at this time he must understand who is more useful to him.

The old lady is not worried that the Zhao family will suddenly cut off the supply, after all, Aunt Xiang and Chu Yueyun are here, but this Yongji Pharmacy is still gradually out of control. At present, the relationship with the other Zhao family tends to be frozen, and the relationship with the Yuwang Mansion has not eased, the situation is not good for the Ninghou Mansion, at this time, if Chu Yue'an and the eldest princess get closer, it will not be bad, so she will no longer be angry with Chu Yue'an for spending so much money to buy a painting.

"It's all relatives and family, and you don't have to be so outsider in everything." The old lady smiled, "Yueyun, your uncle hasn't been to the mansion for a long time, you tell him to come to the Hou Mansion when you are free, and see my old wife." ”

"Uncle has always missed his grandmother very much, and his uncle said that when he is free, he will come to visit his grandmother!"

After returning to Tianhe Courtyard, Chu Yue ordered someone to send a message to Yongle Palace, preparing to visit tomorrow.

A little later, Chu Qingbai came when he heard the news, and before he entered the door, his hurried voice came: "Second sister, I heard that you spent a lot of money to buy a painting, so I came over to take a look at the vision." ”

Chu Yue'an asked Caixing to take out the painting, and said with a light smile: "I don't know how to paint, you can come and see what is so good about this painting?" ”

"Second sister, you're embarrassed for me, I don't understand!" He smiled, "I'm just coming to see the fun." ”

"Tsk, is there anything our little prodigy doesn't know?" Chu Yuean smiled and pulled him to sit down by the fire, "I heard that you had a wind chill before, how are you okay in the past two days?" ”

"It's just a minor illness, nothing to worry about." Chu Qingbai smiled, "It's Sister Caixing, I was seriously ill on the day I fell into the water, I didn't expect you to recover after a few doses of medicine, and now who in our house doesn't want to ask for a pair of medicine from the second sister." Hey, I really didn't see it, Caixing turned out to be such a loyal person, let's not treat her lightly, it's such a second sister, that day poetry meeting, there was a student surnamed Zhou, looking at Caixing's loyal and brave behavior, and wanted to ask for this family business for his brother, I didn't dare to agree, I wanted to ask the second sister what she meant. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The student surnamed Zhou has a solid family, I have inquired, and his brother is also an honest and down-to-earth person, that is...... It's a mother who is paralyzed in bed. I've thought about it, Cai Xing married the head lady, let's add a few rings to serve the old lady, Cai Xing can't suffer anything. ”

"I thought about how to look at our star picking, I was looking at the star picker's loyalty, thinking that she was a person who could be relied on, so I wanted to ask the star picker to serve the old mother on the hospital bed!" Chu Yue'an sneered, "Caixing is my own sister-in-law, she naturally wants to be a decent lady in the future, but I will definitely not let her suffer." I will prepare a rich dowry for Caixing, no matter how she marries in the future, it must be someone she really likes, so I can't do this master. ”

"Second sister, don't be angry, I'll just ask." Chu Qingbai hurriedly said, "If you don't want to, I'll just refuse." ”

Cai Xing listened to the conversation outside the door, and was quite moved in his heart, Cai Yue was also on the side, and said with some pantothenic acid: "Miss treats you really well." ”
