Seven days later, he set off for Fangzhou. Before leaving, only Yun Xian and his wife sent each other, and Shen Yu has not appeared since that night. Chuxiu deliberately did not inquire about the movements of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, nor did she specifically tell Shen Yu the exact date of her departure from Beijing.

When he came, he brought dozens of carts of dowry and hundreds of nursing homes, but when he left, there were only four or five carriages left, so the footsteps of the people in Chuxiu and his party were much faster, and it only took a month to arrive in Yanlan City.

Along the way, she used all her free time to plan Yun Cheng's marriage, and she also roughly had a formed idea. How? What scale? Who will be entertained? It's also good to know it.

After returning to Yunfu, Izuku didn't care about resting, and went straight to Rongjin Hall to meet Mrs. Tai, wanting to make a detailed report on everything that happened to her in Jingzhou. In fact, as far as the Yun family's intelligence network is concerned, Mrs. Tai must have known all the things at this moment, but she still wants to say it again in person according to the etiquette.

As expected, after Zhu Xiu came to Rongjin Hall, before he could tell him, Mrs. Tai had already taken the lead in judging: "Use Nanxi Caoyun to exchange for the entire Beixuan's clansmen and business, this account can be drawn, it's good." ”

Izumi was a little surprised when she heard this, she always thought that Mrs. Tai never bowed her head, never gave in, and was bound to take everything of the Yun family into her hands. It's not that Izumi thinks so, even Yun Xian was worried at the beginning, worried that Mrs. Tai would not agree to hand over Nan Xi Caoyun's business.

After all, on the surface, this matter is a compromise between the Yun clan and the Heavenly Emperor, and people who don't know the truth will think that the Yun clan is losing and retreating, and will give up the power of Nanxi Caoyun. And Mrs. Tai values the fame and glory of these faces the most.

Therefore, Chu Xiu never thought that Mrs. Tai not only did not reprimand her for this incident, but also praised her: "Mother, don't you blame me for losing Caoyun's business?" ”

Mrs. Tai leaned on the back of the chair dignified and smiled slowly: "Why blame you? If I go out in person, I will not waste a single soldier to achieve my goal, even if I don't hesitate to annoy the Heavenly Emperor, I must protect the Yun family's industry...... But you are different, after all, the means are too shallow, and you don't have the courage to openly confront the Heavenly Emperor, and it is very rare for you to have such an achievement now. ”

Mrs. Tai also knows how to be considerate of people! That's a good thing! It can be seen that her original words of "can't be tough", her old man still listened to it! Izumi was overjoyed in her heart, and seeing that Mrs. Tai was in good spirits today, she took the opportunity to mention Yun Cheng's marriage, including the scale and budget, and roughly said it.

When Mrs. Tai heard this, she didn't express her position immediately this time, her eyes hid the sharpness and vicissitudes of seeing through the world, and slowly fell on Chuxiu, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, Mrs. Tai took out a key with a red rope from her sleeve, turned to look at Chi's mother, who was serving on the side, and ordered, "Go and get my notebook." ”

Mrs. Tai did not tell Chi's mother the specific location, so it can be seen that this note is not difficult to find. But Chi's mother quickly had a look of surprise on her face, and then she respectfully took the key and led the way through the hall.

At this time, when I heard the word "note", I was also slightly surprised. In fact, she had heard of this thing for a long time, and she had also heard that it was Mrs. Tai's experience and memo in charge of the general affairs for many years. But Chuxiu has been the head of the house for six years, and even when she didn't know anything about housekeeping and business at first, Mrs. Tai never took out this notebook, which is obviously very precious. What does that mean now......

Izumi was speculating about Mrs. Du's thoughts, but when she heard that the latter had spoken again, she said to Izumi: "You don't need to re-handle Cheng'er's marriage, you just need to compare the scale of the previous resignation and marriage to Yanran." ”

I haven't heard Xia Yanran's name for a long time, and Izumi almost forgot that this woman with one corpse and two lives is the wife who is married and rightful in name. Xia Yanran once worshipped heaven and earth with Yun Ci, and also wore a red wedding dress...... And he is only a step-room, and his name was only established after Yun Ci's death.

Thinking of this, thinking of Yun Ci, Izuku couldn't help but be gloomy. Mrs. Tai didn't seem to see Chuxiu's expression, and continued to instruct: "But you have to redraw the list of guests. ”

This is naturally understood. It must be known that Yun Ci and Xia Yanran's marriage was seven years ago, and now that the situation has changed and the vicissitudes of life, it is indeed necessary to redraw the guest list.

Seven years ago, several prominent families such as the Ming family and the Helian family were honored as guests, but seven years later, they are no longer in the limelight;

Seven years ago, Wenchang Marquis Shen Chung took Wen Yaoshi, and seven years later, it became the lintel of Weiyuan Marquis Shen to Wu Zhenxing.

Thinking of this man, and then thinking of Yun Ci, who has been dead for six years, I don't know what it's like in my heart. She felt that she had failed two men at the same time, and that she could no longer treat either of them wholeheartedly.

Perhaps, this was a knot that the three of them were destined to untie, and she was tightly wound by the inextricable red thread, and she almost suffocated to death in the binding...... And one end of the red line is Yun Ci, and the other end is Shen Yu, no one can escape, no one can withdraw.

Izumi was thinking wildly, but I heard Mrs. Tai continue: "This matchmaker doesn't need to ask for another invitation, since it is the marriage of the Emperor of God, then keep the marriage book, and go back to Yingyuan Palace to let him stamp the gold seal." ”

Speaking of the word "matchmaker", Mrs. Tai also remembered Yun Ci and Xia Yanran's matchmakers, and only felt that the world was wonderful, and couldn't help but sigh again: "When Ci'er and Yanran got married, I personally went to King Mu's mansion and asked King Mu to make this matchmaker." Seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Cheng'er's wedding still depends on him. ”

From Yun Ci to Yun Cheng, from King Nanxi Mu to Emperor Tianzhu, after seven years, Yunfu is still Yunfu, and the glory is still the same. It's just that inside, it is full of the vicissitudes of blood and tears of a widow.

"When I got married, it was so lively, and the people in the house were vigorous; And now...... Mrs. Tai didn't continue to speak, and Izumi also fell into sadness. The second and third rooms had accidents one after another, and now the Yunfu has become empty, and the lively scene when she first came has long been gone.

It's just, who can blame it? You can only blame the greed of human nature!

Since he talked about the people of Yunfu, Chuxiu remembered Yunxian and Luanqing at the right time. Although Mrs. Tai did not understand their union, Luan Qing was a dying person after all, if she could take the opportunity of Yun Cheng's wedding to get Mrs. Tai's approval, it would be regarded as a wish for Luan Qing before she died.

Thinking like this, Izuku tried to mention Yunxian cautiously: "Although the people in the house are not prosperous now, there is still a third master, he ......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Tai's face was gloomy, and she frowned and said that she didn't want to listen anymore.

Chu Xiu pursed her lips and thought about it, but she still had the courage to continue: "Mother, you listen to me first, in fact, Luan Qing can't have children, and she will not live ......long" She repeated Yunxian's words that day, and finally said: "What the third master means is that after Luan Qing passes over, he will marry a stepfamily who is the right family and pass incense to the old marquis." ”

Hearing that Luan Qing was unable to have children, Mrs. Tai was very surprised; I was even more shocked to hear that she had died soon. There was no schadenfreude in this shock, but rather a bit of pity and empathy.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu knew that there was a play, and hurriedly said: "Mother, it's good that Luanqing has detoxified you, and she has also sincerely helped me and Hou Ye...... Since she can't grow old with the third master, you can admit her! It can also make her die blindly. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai did not respond for a long time, and seemed to be cautious. Just when Izumi was waiting, she asked faintly: "You can't take care of your own affairs, and you have to worry about others?" ”

In a word, Izuku already understood what she meant - Mrs. Tai was determined to refuse to admit Luan Qing, and she refused to admit this marriage.

I can't tell if it's disappointment or how, but Izuku can understand Mrs. Tai's attitude. After all, he is too affectionate, if he considers the overall situation, the marriage between Yunxian and Luan Qing will indeed do more harm than good and be too reckless, and it is natural for Mrs. Tai not to approve of it.

Originally, Chuxiu wanted to persuade again, but at this moment, Chi's mother went and returned, and presented a notebook wrapped in red silk to Mrs. Tai along with the key, which also brought the topic of Yunxian and Luan Qing to an abrupt end.

But seeing that Mrs. Tai untied the red silk covering it, put the notebook on her legs, rubbed the cover with her hands, and said after a long time: "This is my experience in presiding over the Yun clan for many years, some may not be applicable to you, just pick and look." With that, she reached out and handed the notebook out.

Izuku immediately stepped forward to take it, and heard Mrs. Tai say again: "I also spent a lot of effort on the preparation when I quit my son and got married, and I think I am quite thoughtful. The details have been listed in this notebook, and some standards can be used if they can be used, which will save you any more trouble. ”

"Thank you mother for your kindness." Out of Xiu looked at this notebook, the three big characters of "Red Notebook" on the cover are strong and powerful, upright and sharp, and it looks more like a man's handwriting, which is different from the handicap hairpin Xiaokai that Mrs. Tai is used to writing.

It's just that in an instant, Izuku suddenly understood why Mrs. Tai treasured this thing and never showed it easily. Not only because this notebook is her life's work, but also because of the handwriting on this cover......

Out of Xiuda felt flattered, as if the book in her hand weighed a thousand pounds, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, this is your life's work, I ......"

Mrs. Tai waved her hand to stop her from continuing, and only smiled: "I don't give it to you, after Cheng'er and Zhuang Yiran get married, you can slowly pass it on to her, so that she can take over the middle feed in the house as soon as possible." ”

When Chu Xiu heard this, he only felt a sour tip of his nose, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted solemnly, thanking him silently.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Mrs. Tai smiled again: "What are you crying about?" You're also going to have a daughter-in-law! Instead of being sad here, it is better to pray that Zhuang Yiran will get started as soon as possible, so that you can get out and leave with Shen Yu as soon as possible. ”
