Chapter 605: Ambition
Chu Yuqin looked at the girl in front of him.
She wasn't telling the truth.
Although Chu Yulan is good-looking, she has no style of her own. In other words, she is beautiful, and she is not beautiful.
Chu Butterfly's eyes were blazing, and they were eyes that made his goal clear.
If Chu Yulan is a small flower that is too well protected, Chu butterfly is a cactus. The flowers that come out of the cactus are also extremely beautiful. Moreover, cacti are easy to feed and have their own thorns.
"It seems that Daddy and Mom have taken good care of you. The butterfly in my impression is still a little girl, and now she is about the same height as her sister. Moreover, it is more youthful and pretty. ”
Chu Yuqin touched Chu Butterfly's hair.
Chu Butterfly lowered her head shyly: "Sister, don't coax me." Who in the capital doesn't know that my sister is the first beauty. Even if I peel off this skin, I can't have skin like yours. ”
"Could it be that you are still competing with your sister to win or lose?" Chu Yuqin teased. "I can't see that butterflies are so strong."
"Where do I have?" Chu Butterfly lowered her head shyly. "I just think that if I can live like my sister in this life, then I don't have any regrets. My sister has always been a role model for me. ”
"What do butterflies think?" Chu Yuqin asked again. "You're still young, and you can still stay in the Thousand Faces Pavilion. What about later? What are your thoughts? ”
"Later?" Chu Butterfly hesitated. "Of course, I will follow my sister in the future."
"You have to be your own son. Is it possible that I can follow my sister for the rest of my life? Chu Yuqin chuckled and shook his head. I praised you just now, but now it seems that you are still a child. ”
"I didn't think about it later. I've always followed my sister. If I don't follow my sister one day, I don't know what to do. Chu Butterfly said.
"You can think slowly. Start thinking now, and one day you'll figure it out. Do you have anything in particular that you want to do in your life? If so, what would you do? ”
The sisters were talking in the room.
Chu Butterfly and Chu Yulan talked about what had happened these days. Chu Yuqin listened quietly and did not interrupt them.
"Madam, Miss Chen and Miss Zhao are here." Qiu Yin said in her ear.
"What's wrong?" Chu Butterfly stopped her chatter.
"I just said that I would introduce you to two new friends. I haven't gone to preach them yet, but they themselves have come. Chu Yuqin waved his hand at Qiu Yin. Let them in! ”
Chu Yulan and Chu Butterfly immediately sat upright.
Chu Butterfly said coquettishly to Chu Yuqin: "Sister, I have taken a fancy to a hairpin, can you buy it for me?" ”
"Didn't you make a lot of money? Why let me buy it. He bought it for his own money. Chu Yuqin said ruthlessly.
"Oops, that hairpin is so expensive." Chu Butterfly was aggrieved. "The little money I earn is not enough to buy three or five sticks."
Chen Zhen'er and Zhao Yufei heard this sentence when they came in.
I have long heard that the Chu family is from a farmer's family.
They didn't see any trace of a peasant household on Chu Yuqin's body.
But her sister can't be on the table. Even if there is no shortage of silver at home, it is still a poor and sour picture.
How much is a hairpin worth? What can't you spend? Even if they are ordinary people, they buy a few hairpins a year.
"Your hairpin is an antiquity? How can it be so expensive? Chu Yuqin was surprised.
"What kind of antiquities are they? If it's an antiquity, it's fine. Chu Yulan complained beside her. My sister didn't know. The hairpin was inlaid with an eastern pearl, the size of a quail egg, and it looked particularly eye-catching. I had already advised her that she couldn't buy such eye-catching things, and she didn't dare to wear them when she bought them. Otherwise, others will only say that our Chu family is an upstart. ”
"People like to say that it's someone else's business." Chu Butterfly looked in the direction of the door. "Most of the people who say we are nouveau riche are jealous of us."
Chen Zhen'er raised an innocent smile: "This young lady is the sister of Mrs. Shizi, right?" It's really good-looking. Isn't Mrs. Shizi a heavenly immortal? Even with his sister, he is a fairy. ”
Chu Yuqin looked at Chu Butterfly and Chu Yulan dotingly, and his tone was helpless but with love: "What kind of immortal is it?" It is clearly a debt collector. A hairpin costs three thousand taels. What do you buy it for? Is it hard to become a family heirloom? The hairpin seller doesn't know where it came from. I have bought jewelry so many times in the capital, and I have never heard of any jewelry that sells so expensive. ”
"That's a bit expensive!" Chen Zhener and Zhao Yufei looked at each other.
The two of them complained a lot just now, they were poor and sour. I didn't expect them to be the ones who were really poor.
However, Chu Yuqin didn't take out this money, which made them somewhat relieved. At least she didn't casually take a few thousand taels of silver out to buy a hairpin.
"Sister, you said before that you would buy something you like when you see it. I really like that hairpin. Chu Butterfly pouted.
"He bought it with his own money. It's not like you can't afford it anyway. Chu Yuqin was unmoved.
"Oh, how can I spend that little bit of money like this? I'm afraid that it will be spent in a few months. My sister is a gambling god, and she is not worth tens of millions, but there are also millions. Chu Butterfly shook Chu Yuqin's arm. Please, you can buy it for me! Lan'er likes a bracelet. You see, Lan'er rarely likes one thing. ”
Chu Yuqin looked at Chu Yulan next to him: "Do you like that family's bracelet?" ”
"That bracelet is warm jade, I think it's good for my cousin's health, and I want to buy it for her." Chu Yulan said softly: "But it's too expensive, it costs more than two thousand taels of silver." ”
Chu Yuqin didn't hesitate this time: "Nuan Yu is indeed a little expensive. But it's hard to see what you like. Which store? Tomorrow I'll ask Qiu Yin to buy it with you. ”
"Okay!" Chu Butterfly cheered happily. "Sure enough, my sister still loves Lan'er even more. I heard that Lan'er likes it, so you bought it without saying a word. Just buy it for me. ”
Chen Zhen'er and Zhao Yufei's expressions were weird.
More than five thousand taels of silver......
Their monthly silver was twenty taels. The monthly silver of a year is two hundred and forty taels. Coupled with the additional expenses for buying jewelry, it cannot exceed five hundred taels a year.
More than 5,000 taels is enough for them to spend more than ten years.
Obviously, they are the official ladies, how can there be such a big gap compared with such a 'nouveau riche'? If it were them, I am afraid that they would want to be such nouveau riche.
"By the way, you're looking for me?" Chu Yuqin seemed to have just noticed Zhao Yufei and Chen Zhen'er.
Zhao Yufei said: "When something like this happens in the house, we are very worried about Mrs. Shizi, so we want to see if you have anything to do here." ”
"Nothing else, I just want to find the murderer as soon as possible. Can you help me find the killer? Chu Yuqin smiled.
"That...... We can't do it. However, it can help Mrs. Shizi share her worries and relieve her needs. I learned some massage techniques from the doctor, which can help Mrs. Shizi relieve fatigue. Zhao Yufei said.
