After Li Yuyao washed up, she changed into clean clothes, took the silver hairpin given by her mother and the necklace handed by her mother, took off the bracelet on her wrist by the way, handed it to Xing'er, wrapped it up, and prepared to go out.

Mama frowned and shouted, "Girl, what are you doing here?" This bracelet is your mother's dowry. Blood jade with a hard-to-find texture. ”

Li Yuyao looked at the blood jade bracelet, a gift she got from her mother when she was young. A wry smile inadvertently crossed the corners of his mouth. Good things can only be lived in by those who are capable, and if this thing can be exchanged for her purpose, it is worth it. What can there be in the world that no one else can take away? - Knowledge and insight! What Li Yuyao urgently needed was far more valuable than the blood jade bracelet.

"Mama, I understand. Li Yuyao and Xing'er stepped out of the door, gradually moving away from their mother's door, their hearts beating faster. But the arrow had to be fired. Li Yuyao, who stepped in, smiled and asked An Hou to sit on the chair on her mother's left hand and be silent.

"Why are you free today, didn't I say it, you are newly married, so you don't have to say goodbye." The new environment requires familiarity. Mrs. Wu said lightly. She knew that this daughter-in-law was busy all day, but her son didn't say anything, and she didn't say much.

Li Yuyao motioned for Xing'er to give a gift and said with a smile: "Mother likes it?" ”

Mama Li, who was next to Mrs. Wu, opened the box and took them out one by one and handed them to Mrs. Wu to admire. Mrs. Wu went from disdain at the beginning to a smile at the end.

Carefully watching the change in Mrs. Wu's expression, Li Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, and she stepped forward at the right time and said to Mrs. Wu: "Mother, try this bracelet, this is our family's heirloom." “

"Even if it's a family heirloom, you might as well keep it." After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she wanted to return the bracelet. Li Yuyao took the bracelet and grabbed her mother's hand, and by the way, put the bracelet on her mother's hand and said: "Mother, it is precisely because it is a family heirloom that she is worthy of a blessed person like her mother." ”

Here, Li Yuyao's affairs in her mother's room have already been told to Wu Wenyi. "Yaoyao went to her mother's place? You know why? Wu Wenyi asked the messenger.

"It seems that I gave my wife very expensive jewelry." The little guy peeked at the little master's expression as he spoke.

Wu Wenyi thought to herself what she wanted to do. "Let's go, go to Mother." "I'd like to hear about it.

In Mrs. Wu's room, Li Yuyao said to Mrs. Wu with a smile: "Mother, I heard that the silk in Jiangnan has a new product this year, I want to go and see it, and by the way, I will bring a few horses for my mother to make summer clothes, and the rouge over there is applied to the face as if it naturally emanates from the skin, it is extremely beautiful, and people will be ten years younger." “

These Mrs. Wu love to listen, maybe a woman likes them. Mrs. Wu suddenly became interested and asked, "Your family also has a business over there?" Li Yuyao nodded sweetly.

"But it's not in accordance with the rules for you to go so far away as a woman." Mrs. Wu was a little regretful, but in a blink of an eye, she thought: "When your family buys it from there, let's go to your store to have a look." “

Li Yuyao hurriedly said: "My good mother, the new products are not as many as you want, they are all ordered in advance." Besides, there is more than this silk shop in my house, and there are dozens of silk and satin shops in my house along the canal from Hangzhou, how can you be sure that the batches here are what we like? You don't have to worry, it won't take long for me to look at my own dowry business, and I don't know if my husband mentioned it to you, he also wants to go to the capital early to prepare for the spring festival, and it takes money to visit the teacher. “

Looking at her mother-in-law's hesitant appearance, Li Yuyao continued: "That rouge is said to be a tribute, and we have a way to leave a few boxes, which is also rare." Therefore, I am willing to give it only when I go, and I can't do it for me. "My husband is an official family, which Mrs. Wu agrees with, and she is not tight, so she wants to turn around.

But Mrs. Wu doesn't know business, where does she know how to do business. Li Yuyao saw that Mrs. Wu was a little moved, and hurriedly said: "I will bring a few strong martial arts to follow, and I will dress up as a man when I go out." Besides, all the way south, I live in my own inn, what can happen? Mother, we don't care about our own business, what if someone else has a bad heart and does something? So there are some things that you have to do yourself, besides, even if it's a new product, we have to look at the texture, what if the new product doesn't have a market? I want to pay more money for my husband so that I can take care of officialdom. Mother, say yes. Good no good. “

Li Yuyao was coquettish. Even if she is not completely sure, she must be confident to persevere, and have a reason to convince herself, isn't marrying her just for money.

Wu Wenyi, who had just left the room, met his father, and his father stopped him: "Yi'er, you come with me." Wu Wenyi had no choice but to withdraw his heart from Li Yuyao for the time being.

"How's your studies going?" The father asked as he walked, listening to Wu Wenyi's answer, nodding, and nodding from time to time.

When I arrived at my father's study, the little maid came up with tea, and after closing the door, my father said: "I discussed with your mother that you should go to the capital early to visit Lord Xia Sun by the way, and stay at his house temporarily." After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wu Wenyi. Wu Wenyi knew that Master Sun was his father's teacher back then. But this is too sudden, and too early, is the New Year also spent at Master Sun's house? What did my father have in mind? Seeing that his father paused, thoughtfully, as if he remembered something: "Yi'er, if you live in Lord Sun's house, you must know the etiquette, don't let people laugh at your father and mother and teach your son." Be cautious in everything you say and do," and then said something about the factional relations of the imperial court. Then he waved his hand and said, "You go down, your mother will give you the things for this trip, and your mother will give you a gift for Lord Sun, your mother has also prepared it, and there are other social gifts among them, so don't worry about it, just study hard, and be good after." ”

After Wu Wenyi came out of his father's study, Li Yuyao was already on the road. She couldn't wait, this time she was bound to win. On the way home after breaking up with her mother, Li Yuyao arranged the travel matters, and instructed the accompanying maid to take her father's name card and invite the best Diao master in the martial arts of the younger generation of dart hang, Diao Wu, (in fact, he is 5 years older than Li Yuyao) rented a carriage and waited next to the mansion of the county magistrate, here Li Yuyao got Mrs. Wu's order and hurried back to the house, asked Ping'er to learn that the little maid had come and took away the clothes.

Xing'er took the silver taels that Ping'er had sorted out, Li Yuyao put on the underwear she had made before, which was similar to a treasure chest, that is, there were many small pockets, which were filled with gold and silver and soft, and they were ready to do it in case of emergency, and then they sorted out their underwear and pants and went out together, and when they came to the door, they saw Xiaowu and Diao Wu riding a horse, and a carriage next to them was waiting for them.

Li Yuyao's sense of urgency gradually disappeared after the carriage started, and her heart began to become active. She asked Xing'er, "Did you tell Ping'er how to answer the young master?" If the young master asked. “

"Miss, don't worry. I'll tell you what you say. Apricot explained. Li Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes to recuperate.

But a voice kept asking myself, "Am I doing the right thing?" Are you restless and self-conscious? Am I wrong? How can I feel relieved? Can escaping really change the status quo? “

But if she doesn't, what should she do? She is not stupid is not that she can't feel her husband's initial attitude, contempt and a self-righteous posture that I have improved your social status, so you, Li Yuyao, just need to be obedient and do your duty as a wife. Li Yuyao sighed in her heart, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The novelty and curiosity of the first time disappears, and the reality of the situation is replaced by the real situation. "What should you tell me to do? A minor enters marriage early, and she can't accept it mentally and physically. You can say that she does as the locals do, but why is she insecure, a strong sixth sense seems to indicate an impending crisis. ”

Am I really wrong? This is ancient times, is it really just a man? This is incompatible with the education I have received over the years! Time is too tight to give me a breather. But when she thought of Wu Wenyi's recent performance, she felt that she had done the right thing.

This young man is not as lively, cheerful, sunny as he appears on the surface, he is not rigid and very flexible, given that if he takes the opportunity right, he will surely prosper in official fortune, and at that time will he be willing to be the daughter of a businessman? There must be a group of wives and concubines, how will she deal with herself? And he is a typical representative of male power in ancient times, and he doesn't seem to have a favorite for women, just a tool for inheritance.

Was she wrong? Does he respect her? Yes, Wu Wenyi respects her in his own way, but that way is ranged, and his scope does not match his own scope. She can't understand it, and he can't see through it, except for these maids around her, there is no ancient girlfriend to learn from. She didn't know if she didn't really understand the society, so she used the eyes of a modern person to weigh the panic caused by the deviation caused by the behavior of an ancient person, or was it the case?

Wu Wenyi took the 500 taels of silver left by his wife and a rare high-grade inkstone from Ping'er's hand, with mixed tastes, Yaoyao's sudden departure made him keenly feel that he and his wife seemed to be being put into a trap when he was talking to his father, but now it is even stronger.

Holding in his hand what this woman had left him, he blamed himself deeply, this woman he was going to marry, but it was clear that he could not protect her. For example, when his father said that he wanted him to leave for the capital immediately, and he proposed to bring his wife and didn't want to live in Lord Sun's house, his father's face was ugly and he refused on the spot, there was no room for negotiation, it was strange, didn't his father know that he was newly married Yan'er? Why do you want to fly Shuangfei?

How did he know that when his father received the teacher's letter, his father regretted his marriage, because the teacher vaguely mentioned in the letter that he wanted to marry his granddaughter to Yi'er, at that time, Wu Xian Ling quickly took action to cut through the chaos, and sent his son to the capital as soon as possible, so he took the opportunity to deal with this marriage, as for the reason, the businessman's daughter, the reason was naturally very easy to grasp, so at breakfast he told his wife to be more lenient with his daughter-in-law After all, she is the daughter of a businessman, and there are not so many etiquette constraints. Today, he went home early and planned to solve the matter of his son's side first, but it happened that the porter told him that the young lady was out again today, and he didn't eat lunch at home, so he had an idea at that moment.

Li Yuyao, who had planned to go first by herself, thought about it or walked by water with Shopkeeper Li, so her carriage did not go out of the city, but went out of the city and turned back, went to Shopkeeper Li's house, and rested there that night.

Wu Wenyi lies in bed at night tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep. His father had already sent someone to pack his bags, and tomorrow morning he must leave for the capital, not by water, and in his own carriage. He didn't have time, and his father didn't give him time to say goodbye to his wife, and the little guy he sent out came back to report that the lady hadn't returned to her parents' house, so where could she go?

Ping'er just said that the lady went out for a few days to see her own business, and he didn't know the bottom of her family's business at all, only that it was very wide, as can be seen from his wife's generous shots, he didn't go to their family's property when he fell in love with her, of course, this reason was used to persuade his parents, but it was just a trade-off. Listening to the sound of the watch outside, it was obvious that it had not yet reached the third watch, and Wu Wenyi got up from the bed and went out with the little maid and went straight to his mother-in-law's house.

On the street, Wu Wenyi did not meet a person, the lively street on weekdays is deserted at the moment, and the evening breeze is unscrupulously rampaging through the street, picking up the corners of Wu Wenyi's clothes, trying to spy on his secrets and tease his patience.

It looked back at the corners, whispered from time to time, painted snakes on the plaques on the storefronts, agitated wantonly, and danced to annoyance. All this fell in the eyes of the condescending moonlight, it ignored it, sneered at it and responded with indifference, cold silence, and alienation, coldly and arrogantly pulling Wu Wenyi's figure, alone.

The season that shouldn't be cold made Wu Wenyi feel cold to the bone, not from the body, but from the heart. Tightening his clothes, Wu Wenyi stepped forward and knocked on the door of his mother-in-law's house, and when he saw the little guy looking at each other, Wu Wenyi didn't say anything, and went in directly. The little guy was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly caught up with him, leading the way in front.

When they arrived at Madame's house, the servant called out to Madame's eldest maid. When he saw Mother Li, Wu Wenyi hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm bothered, please give this thing to the good wife." Looking at her mother-in-law, who was not very surprised, Wu Wenyi knew that Yaoyao's mother-in-law knew about it.

Mrs. Li looked at the jade pendant and knew that it was a good condition, and it should be expensive. "This?" Mrs. Li looked at Wu Wenyi suspiciously.

Wu Wenyi said: "This is my son-in-law's belongings. Mrs. Li accepted the gift and asked, "Why don't you give it to Yaoyao yourself?" ”

"My father sent me to the capital immediately. Departure tomorrow. Wu Wenyi lowered his head.
