The people of the Chu family left after finishing their meal.

They had been worried about Ling Shengyi's situation, and after meeting him......

I'm even more worried.

But it's useless to worry.

My daughter is already married, can I still tie her back?

Even if they are willing, if their daughter is not, all their worries are unnecessary.

Chu Yuqin was walking in the courtyard.

The backyard is full of all kinds of flowers.

There is also a pergola trellis in the yard where she lives. At this time, it is full of peaches and exudes a fragrant smell.

She plucked a bunch, wiped it with a handkerchief, and ate one.

"This peach is so sweet." Chu Yuqin sighed.

Old man Zheng said beside him: "This is specially planted by the prince for Mrs. Shizi. ”

"For me? Why? Chu Yuqin said lightly.

"Madame is so smart, why don't you understand the mind of the prince? If it weren't for the mess in Lingfu, I'm afraid he would have come to the door to ask for a marriage a long time ago. When he was in the countryside, he had a wife in his heart. After returning to the capital, the prince was busy with official business all day. For a while, he was not even in the capital, and he had been doing things for the emperor when he went out of Beijing. He thought he would be able to forget the past. But then he understood......"

"Some thoughts are like small saplings, once they take root, they will rise and rise. Madame took root in the heart of the prince, grew up uncontrollably, and finally made him unable to care about anything, and laid out one trick after another, so that the queen mother and the emperor could get you into Beijing. ”

"In fact, the queen mother and the emperor are both smart people, and they must have seen through everything a long time ago. Madame is so smart, she must understand. ”

"Since I am the mistress of the mansion, I must have the final say on everything here. Right? Chu Yuqin asked Old Man Zheng.

"It's nature. The prince has said it a long time ago, and we all have to listen to what you say. Old man Zheng said happily.

"The Merlin in the back is good, keep it up. It doesn't grow very well though, and I'm going to trim it recently. The peach blossoms in Shizuka-in are good, but they are planted too densely, so they don't grow very energetically. You send someone to sawn off half of it. There are too few varieties of flowers in the garden. Send someone to find some precious flowers, and I will plant them myself. In addition, you go and ask the two next door if they sell the yard. If they were willing to sell, I would pay three times the price. Although the courtyard is not small, I like the larger space to grow vegetables and flowers. In this way, this little area is not enough to see. ”

Old man Zheng listened carefully and nodded again and again.

In the next few days, Chu Yuqin not only took care of Ling Shengyi's body, but also renovated the entire Ling Mansion Courtyard.

"Mrs. Shizi, someone is looking for you." Autumn Yin walked in from outside.

Chu Yuqin was picking peaches on a stool.

Hearing Qiu Yin's words, he looked back.

I saw Zheng Yuanheng holding a fan, standing not far away, raising his eyebrows at her and smiling.

"I heard Brother Zhu say a few days ago that you have entered Beijing, why did you come so many geniuses? I waited until the flowers were gone. After Chu Yuqin finished speaking, he continued to pick the peaches.

Kuroki held a basket and continued underneath.

The peaches can't be dropped, so they pick them carefully.

Zheng Yuanheng walked over and said to Qiu Yin next to him, "Bring another pair of scissors." ”

Qiu Yin glanced at Chu Yuqin.

Chu Yuqin said: "Listen to him. He is Zheng Gongzi. If he comes over in the future, you can just let him go. ”

Qiu Yin hurriedly blessed herself: "Yes." ”

Zheng Yuanheng stood under the peach vine and said, "You really know how to play." If you accidentally play yourself as a married woman. ”

"Looks like you're listening to me. Since it's here, what about the congratulatory gift? You and my husband are brothers. Since you know that we are married, why don't you even have a congratulatory gift? Chu Yuqin looked at him.

Zheng Yuanheng shook his fan: "How can you ask for a congratulatory gift like this?" ”

"Shouldn't it?" Chu Yuqin said.

Zheng Yuanheng took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms.

"But I did give you a gift."

Chu Yuqin didn't come down, but said to Heitong: "You take an inventory." ”

Hei Tong put down the basket, counted the tickets, and said, "One hundred and fifty-two thousand three hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets." ”

"This is your master's, you take it first." Chu Yuqin looked back at Zheng Yuanheng. "Mine?"

Zheng Yuanheng chuckled: "Are you a natural profiteer?" It's been so long, and you can tell the origin of the silver ticket. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, these 152,350 taels of silver tickets are the commissions from the properties that the prince bought at the beginning. In addition to the money from renting out the shop, there was also the money he had earned from the business he had left there. And the Qianmian Pavilion branch that I cooperated with you should still have a sum of silver, and the amount of this silver is only high. ”

Zheng Yuanheng shook his head: "Profiteer, profiteer, you were born to be a profiteer." Fortunately, you are not a woman who is content with the house, if you are bound by feudal dogma like those women, how much fun will there be in the world? ”

He said as he pulled the silver ticket from his bosom. This stack of silver tickets looks much thicker than the one just now.

"The Thousand Faces Pavilion you cooperated with me has made a lot of money, and this is your dividend. I remember it was 237,500 taels of silver. Do your own inventory and see if it is. The ledger was not brought to you. With so many ledgers, it's hard for me to move. ”

Chu Yuqin said to Qiu Yin: "You take it." ”

Qiu Yin trembled and took the silver ticket.

"Madam, you and the prince are too rich. I'm afraid that there is no official son in the entire capital who is as rich as you. ”

"Who says no? The one before you is richer than we are. Chu Yuqin said.

"What I earn is the Zheng family's silver. That's not for me. The smile on Zheng Yuanheng's face fell. I want to see him. I heard that he was unconscious. As a friend, even if I know that he can't hear, I want to say a few words to him. ”

"Don't speak in such a tone, I'm panicking." Chu Yuqin said lightly: "Help me finish picking the peaches, and I'll take you to see him." ”

"How are you going to eat so many peaches?" Zheng Yuanheng picked one and put it in his mouth. "Yes, it's sweet. But no matter how sweet it is, it tastes greasy every day. ”

"I'm going to make a peach wine." Chu Yuqin said, "Help me brew the wine later." ”

Zheng Yuanheng said angrily: "You still aroused me." ”

"I've also heard a little about the Zheng family. Although I can't protect myself, I also know a little about the Zheng family. When you come back this time, is it that your Zheng family is getting more and more powerful? ”

"The old man's body is no longer in good health. The Zheng family has returned several houses, planning to compete for the family business. As you said, infighting is getting stronger and stronger. Don't be surprised if tomorrow you hear that I'm living on the streets, penniless. So before I go back to Beijing, I'll hand over your shop to a trustworthy person. After that, he will report to you alone on the business situation. I didn't want the Thousand Faces Pavilion to fall into the hands of someone else, so I resold my part. ”
