Chapter 30: Here is the Silver

Out of the paper shop, when Sheng Mingyu wanted to ask Anxin to hire a carriage, he saw Shi Quan with two small servants, standing in front of the teahouse not far away, pacing back and forth.

Looking at him, it looks like he's waiting for someone.

But judging by his extremely impatient face, he must have been there for a long time.

But who is Shi Quan waiting for?

Sheng Mingyu and Anxin hid beside the alley of the paper shop, observed from a distance, and did not see Shi Quan and the others coming.

I didn't see Shi Quan going towards the teahouse, looked around, and continued to stand in place.

Could it be that Shi Quan, who came here to wait for her today?

But how could he know his whereabouts?

When she went out today, she walked through the corner gate, and the people who were waiting in the house shouldn't know, right?

But when she sent Mingjue to the private school today, she was seen by others on the way, maybe it was the time when the news leaked.

Since he was waiting for him here, she wouldn't have to go over.

Sheng Mingyu took Anxin's hand, turned around and entered a lane next door, planning to cross the lane and go to the next street to hire a carriage to go home.

After passing through the laneway, Sheng Mingyu came to Danfeng Street next door to Suzaku Street.

Suzaku Street and Danfeng Street are both commercial streets, and both have many shops.

Sheng Mingyu pulled Anxin, and when he was about to walk towards the carriage, he saw a somewhat familiar figure walking towards them.

"Miss Mingyu, my girl is invited!"

It is the maid who is waiting by Sheng Ruyu's side.

Sheng Ruyu is not smart, some of her ideas are all Caihuan on the side, helping her out.

Caihuan specially put on a robe today to cover his figure, presumably to hide people's eyes and ears.

Anxin glanced at the color ring in front of him, and pulled the corner of Sheng Mingyu's clothes a little sensitively, as if he wanted to remind her.

The color ring seems to have bad intentions here.

As soon as Anxin pulled the corner of Sheng Mingyu's clothes, Caihuan saw through her small movements, smiled on her face, and said lightly to Sheng Mingyu.

"Please also rest assured that Miss Mingyu has invited Miss Mingyu to come over, and she has something important to discuss with Miss Mingyu."

As he spoke, Rainbow lowered her voice.

"The reason why my girl wanted to invite Miss Mingyu over was to tell Miss Mingyu about the silver that Miss Mingyu asked for a few days ago."

Could it be that Sheng Ruyu has already raised the three thousand taels of silver?

Came and let her go over and get it?

Sheng Mingyu didn't know what tricks Sheng Ruyu was playing, but she still followed Caihuan to see what Sheng Ruyu wanted to discuss with her?

Seeing Sheng Mingyu nodded, Caihuan took Sheng Mingyu around several shops and came to a carriage parked next to the alleyway.

"My girl is in the carriage, and I invite Miss Mingyu to get in the carriage!"

Caihuan said, and the next step was to get into the carriage, lift the curtain, and let Sheng Mingyu in.

Then Caihuan got out of the carriage and stayed outside the carriage with Anxin.

Sheng Mingyu got into the carriage, and saw that Sheng Ruyu was already sitting in the carriage, wearing a pink dress, a few pearl and jade hairpins in her hairpin, applying light makeup, and smiling at Sheng Mingyu.

"Mingyu, you told me before that if I raised three thousand taels of silver, you would leave from Brother Shiquan, is this still true?"

"Seriously, naturally! How can it not be taken seriously?"

When she said these words before, she just wanted to stimulate Sheng Ruyu.

She knew that Sheng Ruyu couldn't get together so much silver for a while.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Ruyu would have gathered so much silver in order to be able to marry the Marquis of Yongding.

Seeing Sheng Mingyu agree, Sheng Ruyu handed the brocade box with red lacquered wood carved mandarin ducks beside him to Sheng Mingyu in front of him.

"Open it up and take a look! There's what you want inside. ”

Sheng Mingyu opened the brocade box and put three silver tickets of one thousand taels in it.

I checked the date on the silver ticket, and it was only recently redeemed.

Sheng Ruyu had been scraping together these pieces of silver for several months, and finally got them together.

"Sheng Mingyu, take the silver, you know what to do, right? I'm sure you've heard the gossip in Tokyo these days, right?"

"They are all spreading that Brother Shiquan only likes me, but considering this marriage with you, it is when the two parents are here, and it can't be easily disobeyed, so Brother Shiquan has to marry you."

"With a commodity like you, an orphan girl with no family background and dead parents, how can she marry Brother Shiquan?"

"Brother Shiquan is mine, don't want to take it away from anyone!"

Sheng Ruyu wanted her brother Shiquan, and Sheng Mingyu only wanted the three thousand taels of silver.

With these three thousand taels of silver, this stone spring has no effect on her.

"Ruyu said the same, Shiquan Gongzi is extraordinary, handsome and chic, Yushu is in the wind, such a man is a rare person in the world. But I don't look down on such people. ”

"Sheng Ruyu, you can rest assured, I promise you, I will definitely do what I say, so that you can rest assured."

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, I will go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to withdraw from the marriage, and I can also fulfill you and Shiquan!"

Sheng Mingyu said, smiling on his face.

She will go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to withdraw from the marriage, but not to fulfill Shiquan and Sheng Ruyu, she wants to get rid of this marriage with the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

What kind of bullshit Yongding Marquis Mansion, she Sheng Mingyu can't look down on it!

Since Sheng Ruyu is going, let's try it!

"Since Mingyu has said so, please Mingyu can do what he says. I was able to go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion and withdraw this marriage! ”

Sheng Mingyu didn't want to stay in the carriage any longer, let alone see Sheng Ruyu in front of him again, so he got out of the carriage with the silver ticket.

After Sheng Mingyu got out of the carriage, Sheng Ruyu lifted the curtain and glanced at Sheng Mingyu, then called Caihuan to get into the car, and then ordered the coachman to set off.

Sheng Ruyu felt a little strange in her heart, why did Sheng Mingyu promise so happily today?

Not at all like her used to be?

In the past, if she mentioned this matter to Sheng Mingyu, Sheng Mingyu would not agree to anything.

Why did you say yes now?

What's more, when she mentioned Shiquan just now, Sheng Mingyu's eyes were different from usual.

Looking at her eyes, it seemed that she had no feelings for Shi Quan.

Caihuan also felt a little strange.

She always felt that Miss Mingyu seemed to be a different person, her behavior and tone of speech were not the same as before.

"Girl, the slave maid thinks that Miss Mingyu promised so happily, will she dig some traps and wait for the girl to jump?"

Hearing Caihuan say this, Sheng Ruyu was slightly stunned.

What Caihuan said is very reasonable, Sheng Mingyu agreed so happily, maybe she had already dug some trap, just waiting for her to jump.

With Sheng Mingyu's deep mind now, it may not be like this.

After returning to the Shengguo Mansion, Sheng Ruyu thought carefully about Caihuan's words, and what Caihuan said had a certain truth.

Sheng Mingyu is not the same as usual now, and she needs to be careful to deal with it.

Sheng Ruyu is in the Shengguo Mansion and has its own courtyard, Caiyue Pavilion.

Before getting out of the carriage, Sheng Mingyu said that he wanted to go back, the pair of rose gold hairpins that Sheng Ruyu wore before.

The pair of rose gold hairpins are inlaid with two small rubies, which shine brightly and dazzlingly in the sun.

This is the old thing of the original Sheng family mansion, which was later looted by the Duchess of Sheng Guo after the death of Sheng Mingyu's parents.

"What are you looking for this, girl? This is the hairpin that the lady gave to the girl in the past. ”

Caihuan didn't hear clearly what Sheng Mingyu said to Sheng Ruyu when he got out of the car.

So I don't know about Sheng Mingyu's desire for this pair of rose gold hairpins.

"Sheng Mingyu said that he wanted this thing, what is so good about this thing? Hairpins like this, my jewelry box, I don't know how many. Take it to the Sheng family and give it to Sheng Mingyu. ”

Sheng Ruyu said, put the golden hairpin in the wooden box, and handed it to the color ring.

Caihuan was instructed and took a carriage to Sheng's house.

In the small flower hall, Sheng Mingyu sat in the room drinking tea, and the color ring was led into the small flower hall by Anxin.

"Miss Mingyu, the rose gold hairpin you want, my girl has found it. My girl said that this rose golden hairpin can be given to Mingyu, but Mingyu girl must go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion in the next few days and withdraw from this marriage. ”

Sheng Ruyu didn't worry about her, worried that she would cheat.

But she doesn't care, if she doesn't worry about her, she won't worry about her, is it possible that Sheng Ruyu can still watch her go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to withdraw from the marriage in person?

"Caihuan, go back and tell your girl, so that she doesn't have to worry, since I promise, I will do what I say!"

Sheng Mingyu finished talking, and let Anxin personally send the color ring out.

After Xu Min and the uncle of the Xu family talked, she went to the Xu Mansion and talked to the uncle of the Xu family, and the uncle of the Xu family might be able to see Xu Min's face and help her withdraw from the marriage.

In the study, Sheng Mingyu asked Anxin to stay outside the house, she opened the book "Taishang Qingming Sutra" in the house, and turned the page where the talisman was told, Sheng Mingyu picked a few simple talismans to ward off evil and righteousness, and began to draw a scoop according to the gourd.

Sheng Mingyu has never learned to paint, no matter how he paints, he just doesn't look like it.

After drawing more than a dozen pieces of yellow paper, he finally drew a talisman that was exactly the same as the talisman on the scripture.

Sheng Mingyu picked up the charm, blew it carefully, and after the cinnabar was dry, she carefully folded it again, this is the peace charm she made for Mingjue, the charm to bless Mingjue's safety.

Next, she is going to draw a few more house peace charms, auspicious wishful charms, and then sell these charms when she goes to Wuyue Temple and Sanqing Temple.

When the time comes, she only needs to say that these charms have been enlightened by the master in the meditation, and those who come to tell fortunes and measure words will be convinced.

When the time comes, she is afraid that these charms will not be enough to sell.

At this time, a reassuring voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Girl, Childe is here!"

Sheng Mingyu was about to get up to open the door, but Mingjue had already pushed the door in, and saw Sheng Mingyu drawing ghost talismans on the bookcase.

Ming Jue hurriedly walked over, picked up one of the charms drawn by Sheng Mingyu, and looked at it carefully.

"Sister, didn't you also hear about the headless ghost in Jiangzhou and Liuzhou?"

Headless ghosts?

Sheng Mingyu didn't know what Ming Jue was talking about, so he asked.

"What headless ghost is Ming Jue talking about? When did Jiangzhou and Liuzhou make trouble with headless ghosts?"

Anxin walked in, heard Sheng Mingyu ask this, and hurriedly replied.

"Girl, someone came back from Liuzhou, Jiangzhou a few days ago, saying that there was a plague in Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, which can resurrect the dead and turn them into bloodthirsty beasts, and even if those people are killed, they will continue to come back to life. The common people call them headless ghosts. ”

"Now in Jiangzhou and Liuzhou, people are panicking, and thieves are taking the opportunity to wreak havoc, and no one dares to go over. The people of Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, are at home behind closed doors, for fear of contracting the deadly plague when they go out. ”

"Anxin said that these large and small Taoist temples and nunnery in the city now, after hearing about this incident, came up with a charm to ward off evil spirits, saying that it can resist the plague, which is similar to the one my sister is painting now."

Listening to Anxin and Mingjue say so much one after another, Sheng Mingyu gradually understood.

It turned out that there was a plague in Jiangzhou and Liuzhou, and there were more people who went to Sanqingguan and Wuyue to pray for blessings these days.

It just so happens that people are panicking these days, and the charm sells well.

She needed to draw a few more spells.

"Mingjue, you stay, help my sister draw a few more charms, and when my sister goes to the stall in two days, there will be charms to sell."

Ming Jue was about to leave, Sheng Mingyu grabbed Ming Jue and handed him the talisman pen.

Let him copy a few more talismans according to the few evil charms he had successfully drawn before.

Mingjue was forced to be helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and help Sheng Mingyu copy the spell.
