Chapter 012: Where Did the Silver Stay?
The sun was just right, and Chi Yun called three girls and asked them to take out their books to bask in the sun.
After the old man left, a few boxes of books were not taken care of, and it would be a pity if there were insects returning to the tide.
After finishing the book, she returned to the house, but saw Chi Yun writing at the desk.
She sat upright, her pen and her eyes down, as if her husband were teaching the usual standards, but she wrote very slowly.
Su'er glanced at it, let out a low sigh, and really admired: "The eldest lady's words are so beautiful." ”
Chi Yun glanced at her and asked, "Have you ever studied?" ”
Su'er replied embarrassedly: "I only recognize a few words, and when my wife was in charge of the accounts in the past, I helped me remember it." ”
Ji Yun nodded, stopped talking, lowered his head and continued to write.
This body has practiced martial arts, but has not written much, and the pen is inevitably a little sluggish.
But it doesn't matter, she's in good health, and as long as she keeps practicing, she'll be able to recover quickly.
After about half an hour, she finally stopped, sighed, and slowly rubbed her wrist.
Su'er brought tea with interest: "Miss, take a break." ”
Ji Yun let out an "um" and got up and walked to the window.
Under the corridor, a grandmother was talking to Ding, looking angry.
Ding's expression was indifferent, and he comforted him with kind words.
When the two entered the house, Chi Yun laughed silently.
She thought that if she turned her face with the second room, her life would be difficult.
Unexpectedly, this stepmother, who thought she was timid and scared, was in front of her.
Heehewon's was embarrassed, but she didn't feel it. Because of all kinds of neglect, it was made up for by Ding.
Think about it carefully, since Miss Chi came back, this eldest lady has also fulfilled her stepmother's responsibilities, except for not helping her to fight for marriage, she has not been careless in her daily life.
Chi Yun's heart moved: "Su'er." ”
"The slave is here."
"Where is Madame's maiden home?"
Su'er replied: "It's in the capital!" My uncle was too much in his early years, and later when he was traveling to study, he encountered a bandit and injured his leg, so he opened a pen and ink shop on the side of Huating Bridge. ”
"Oh." Ji Yun was thoughtful.
The natives of the capital, a well-off family.
The current Chi family is not surprised to marry like this. But the eldest master is the most outstanding among the three brothers of the Chi family, and he is about to rise to the fourth grade at that time, right? is considered a high-ranking official, and he can marry a family with a better background.
What are the considerations in this, Chi Yun, as a daughter, is not easy to ask. What's more, Su'er is still young, and I'm afraid I don't know the inside story.
Chi Yun's voice changed: "I haven't been home for a long time, and I am extremely unfamiliar with the affairs of the capital, tell me, what is new?" Like what...... Neotiq? ”
……
Master Chi Er was in a depressed mood.
thought that the marriage with the Yu family was ironclad, and he blew out the cowhide a few months ago.
As a result, such a change caused him to be ridiculed by his colleagues for a while.
The second master has always thought highly of himself. Although his own grade is not high, the old lady Chi was infinitely beautiful back then, and he was once called the son of the Prime Minister's house.
Now like this, it is simply a tiger falling into Pingyang being bullied by dogs.
After getting off the Ya, he didn't want to go home.
Chi Yu, who failed in her marriage, stumbled and beat all day long, while the second lady stretched her face and spoke like a knife.
He was aggrieved enough in the Yamen, and he had to look at the faces of his wife and daughter when he went home.
I drove over.
The second master's heart moved, and he said, "Go and get drunk." ”
The relatives hesitated for a moment, and said euphemistically: "Master, Madame asked you to go home early!" ”
The second old man disagreed: "Why did you go home early?" Do you hear her scolding Huai again? It's not her turn to take care of the man's affairs outside, go get drunk and peaceful! ”
"Yes."
Zui Taiping is a restaurant.
The major restaurants in Beijing have their own well-known places. For example, Zheguilou is most famous for its dishes, Yongle Lou is the best for dancing and music, and Drunken Taiping is famous for its scenery.
When the second master entered the drunken peace, a man who looked like an idle man followed in.
This man is Luo Qi summoned by the third lady.
In a territory like Beijing, the world's elites are gathered, and major restaurants have their own means to attract guests.
For example, Drunken Taiping, it is not the style of an ordinary restaurant, but a very elegantly built garden.
Five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, like a small palace.
Among them, people come and go, and it is very lively.
Luo Qigang dressed up, and the bartenders thought that he was brought by a master, and let him pass through the courtyard.
"Hey, I played casually in Drunken Taiping for one night, I was afraid that it would cost dozens of taels of silver, the second master is really rich!"
Luo Qi muttered while looking for the whereabouts of the second master.
The second master did not have fun in front of him, but walked through several courtyards and entered the back garden.
Luo Qi also wanted to follow up, but was stopped.
He said so badly, but the other party refused to let him go.
only said: "Even if your master enters here, he has to come out to lead people in person." ”
Luo Qi had no choice but to wander around the neighborhood and wait for the second master to come out.
This kind of two-class made him discover a strange thing.
It didn't take long for the second master to come out alone.
Luo Qi was stunned, he only went in for a while, and the dishes were not ready, right?
Also, what about his entourage?
Luo Qi intuitively felt that there was a problem, and watched the second master go out from the side door and quietly followed.
There are no banquets here, only a few guests to enjoy the scenery.
Luo Qi followed the second master all the way, and it was not until the sound of blowing came that he understood.
This is where the tricksters live.
The second master entered one of the buildings.
……
"What?!" The third lady almost folded the fan in her hand.
Luo Qi bowed and stood in front of her, and his tone was affirmative: "The little one is not mistaken, the second master rested in that building for half the night, and he didn't come out until he was about to close the door." ”
He stretched out his hand: "You see, the little one has been hiding in the grass for half a night, and his hands are full of mosquito bites. ”
The third lady had goosebumps all over her body, and hurriedly waved his hand to cover him.
was reminded by Chi Yun's words before, she thought, the second family has so much silver hidden, can she bear it and not spend it? Definitely quietly spend it in private!
She guessed buying fields and collecting antique calligraphy and paintings, but she didn't expect the second master to hide Jiao!
Thinking of the second lady's temper, the third lady's eyebrows fluttered.
The second brother looked honest, he didn't expect to do such a thing in private. The second sister-in-law knows that she is still angry? ”
After going around the house twice, she instructed: "You continue to follow, find out who is in that building, and how many times the second master will go and stay at a time." ”
"Yes."
The third lady was in a good mood and instructed her personal maid: "Take two taels of silver to Luo Qi, it will inevitably cost outside." After thinking about it, he said, "Drunken Taiping is not an ordinary realm, take five taels." ”
Luo Qixi was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Madame, don't worry, the little one must do his best." ”
……
On the other side, Chi Yun was also stunned.
"What do you say? His Majesty was ...... before he ascended the throne Is it the King of Yi'an? ”
Su'er was taken aback by her, and said blankly: "Yes......"
