Chapter 43: The Calculation Lands
Ji Cui was still not at ease, and thought of Yin Zixun's eyes when he looked at his young lady that day, and felt a little uneasy.
"On a rainy day, Yin Gongzi sent Miss back, his eyes were not innocent, he kept staring at Miss, and the slave guessed that he probably liked Miss. But miss, you can't like him, although he is the son of the Yin family, but in the end he is also white, no official and no position, and the most important thing is that he will not live to be twenty-one, and he can't be humane, this-"
"Okay, why don't you learn from those people and start talking about this. Don't worry, I won't like anyone! ”
It was only when she heard the young lady reassure her that her brow furrowed.
Ye Shuhua is now full of revenge, and if she doesn't report it for a day, she has no intention of thinking about these love things.
Besides, even if she had, she wouldn't like anyone anymore.
A single injury has already completely sealed her heart.
When I came to a study, as soon as I stepped into the door, I saw the four princes sitting on a chair for guests to rest and drink tea, looking at the picture album.
Looks like he's waiting for himself.
"The Four Princes." Ye Shuhua stepped forward and saluted.
He raised his eyes, put down the album in his hand, smiled faintly, his eyebrows were broad, and said, "Did you forget your cousin?" ”
Ye Shuhua was dazed for a moment, then realized that she shouted obediently: "Fourth brother." ”
Sitting to the side, Chen Cong had already made tea again and handed it to Ji Cui.
Ye Shuhua took the tea cup in Ji Cui's hand and took a sip.
said: "How did the fourth brother come here in person today, you sent someone to buy it in the past." ”
"Pipa dance is my favorite when I travel, but there are few Chinese women who dance pipa dance so well, and they are self-created dance steps. You're the first. ”
He paused, pressed the corners of his lips, and said: "If it is a coincidence to say that the dream is unsolved, then the pipa dance is really my cousin just wants to dance this dance?" ”
Ye Shuhua was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
The intelligence of the four princes was something she couldn't have imagined.
In the first life, he was not the biggest threat to the prince, and his sense of existence at that time was extremely low, and she never saw him in the following lives, and she died inexplicably.
Therefore, in this life, she innate thought that even if the fourth prince was a little smart, he was no more than Erer.
Unexpectedly, her vague thoughts yesterday were guessed by him.
She thought she had succeeded in attracting his attention and pleasing him.
"Hehe, I was seen by the fourth brother." Ye Shuhua smiled awkwardly.
"Dreaming of a thousand miles of unsolved cases is indeed accidental. I didn't know about the pipa dance by accident, and it just so happened that I could too, so I danced it. ”
"As for the reason, I think the fourth brother also knows my current situation. My mother died early, my father was still looking forward to my death every day, and my stepmother and stepsister were like jackals, tigers and leopards, eager to eat me dry and wipe me clean, so I wanted to please the fourth brother and ask for the fourth brother's protection. ”
"Although I can't see how much effect it will have, at least the fourth brother is the prince, and he can deter them a little bit. They estimated that the fourth brother would definitely not use any too harsh means against me on the surface. ”
She spoke eloquently, her eyebrows and eyes were always as flat as water, and her eyes were clear, not like a lie.
This is very similar to the initial speculation of the fourth prince, but as keen as he is, he still feels that she is still hiding something.
"It turns out that this is the case, since ancient times, the relationship between parents is deep and shallow, and it is not something that can be done by man. Don't be too sad cousin, just take care of yourself. As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his waist.
"This is my personal jade pendant, if there is any threat to life in Ye Mansion in the future, I will order someone to bring the jade pendant to find me, no matter where I am, I will definitely protect you as soon as possible."
Ye Shuhua got up and saluted solemnly, took the jade pendant and thanked him: "Thank you, fourth brother." ”
She clutched the jade pendant tightly, and her heart was on the ground.
This can be regarded as a crooked fight, and with it, on July 15, there will be no worry about not being able to call the four princes.
This action fell in the eyes of the fourth prince, and she really felt that she was as excited as grasping a life-saving straw.
The doubts in my heart were alleviated a little.
The four princes sat for a while and left.
Ye Shuhua's heart is extremely smooth now, solving the matter of the four princes, and unraveling the cycle should be regarded as the first step.
Although I don't know if her guess is right, but there is progress at all, and I just wait to see the results in the end.
Back at Hua Ting Yuan, Ye Shuhua was sitting under the porch, and the maidservant who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping not far away was carefully sweeping the dust on the stone steps and corridors.
Zhuying and Zhuqing reported one by one, but found nothing.
Zhu Ying pondered for a moment and guessed: "My subordinates speculated that Ye Shuyu should have noticed me and Zhu Yao, so I took precautions, so I didn't find any news." ”
Zhu Qing also said: "Xu Junying also locked herself in the house all day long, and she didn't go out, and the maids and maids were not allowed to go in, and she didn't find any news." ”
The more Ye Shuhua listened, the tighter her brows locked, and it seemed that Ye Shuyu's defensive ability was good.
"In that case, let's all withdraw and don't stare at it."
"So how do we deal with it?" Bamboo Shadow worried.
"You don't have to deal with it, just watch."
Zhu Ying called Zhu Yue to retreat, and Zhu Qing did not go to the forest courtyard to guard again.
According to the way of leaving a message, it is good to check if there is anyone seeking treatment every once in a while.
In Jin Yuxuan, Ye Shuyu listened to the maid Hongling coming, and her heart was secretly happy.
"She's really out of sight?"
Hongling nodded vigorously, "It's true, the maid who bought the maid of Huating Yuan sprinkled the maid and heard her say that she didn't care. ”
Ye Shuyu smiled, "Now is the time, you go and arrange for your mother's subordinates to send a message to Xu Junying, I will design to let Ye Shuhua go early tomorrow morning, he can act!" ”
"Yes."
Early the next morning, Ye Shuhua was woken up by the sound of birds outside the window.
Mama Hu had already prepared breakfast, and when Ji Cui heard the movement, she went into the back room to wait for Ye Shuhua to wash.
After finishing breakfast, Mama Hu said: "Miss, Hua Tingyuan is basically on the right track, the daily expenses have also stabilized, and the maids and maids are also trained so that nothing will go wrong." At the birthday banquet of Mrs. Yu, the old slave saw that the young lady did not have a few decent clothes, if the young lady was free today, how about the old slave take the young lady to do a few clothes? ”
Ye Shuhua is not particular about clothes or anything, and she likes white quite a lot.
However, it is indeed unruly to wear plain white clothes on some important occasions.
"Okay, that's right, Mama Hu, Ji Cui and Zhu Ying are all doing a few bodies each. Is there enough money in the account? ”
Seeing the young lady ask, Mama Hu thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's enough, the daily income of one side of the study is five hundred taels, and after removing the cost and the daily expenses in the courtyard, there are still more than three or four hundred taels of money." ”
"Then let's go, I'll spend three or four hundred taels today, and each of you will wear new clothes for me!"
Mama Hu saw that Miss was in a good mood today, and she was also in a happy mood.
Ji Cui smiled happily from ear to ear, finally having a new dress to wear!
Bamboo Shadow and the others are used to being secret guards, and they are dressed in black or dark clothes every day, and they are not very happy about the new clothes.
Zhu Yao and Zhu Yue looked after the house, and Zhu Ying and Zhu Qing drove out with the young lady.
Some of the best silk and satin garment shops in the capital are all on the prosperous street.
The carriage stopped at the red-sleeved Accord satin shop where the ladies often made ready-to-wear.
Ye Shuhua just got out of the carriage, looked up, and saw the words on the door plaque, and was vigilant at the moment.
This is the silk shop of the Wen family.
Although the silk of the Wen family has spread all over the capital, and the streets and alleys of all sizes can be seen everywhere, this one is particularly special.
If she remembers correctly, this is one of the places where Xu Junying got involved with a wealthy lady in the first life and vented her bestial desires.
It's such a coincidence, and the place where Mama Hu took her own clothes to buy clothes happened to be here?
"Mama Hu, this is the dress you said was a good job?"
Mama Hu nodded and replied respectfully: "Exactly, but the old slave also heard that this seems to be a store that has only recently opened, because the style is novel, the fabric is also excellent, and the price is fair, so the old slave wants to come and take a look." ”
"If Miss doesn't like it, let's go to another house to have a look."
Ye Shuhua retracted her gaze and said, "No, let's do it." ”
Entering the store, maybe it was too early, there were no customers inside, and the shopkeeper smiled all over his face when he saw Ye Shuhua, nodded and walked over.
"Whether the lady buys ready-to-wear clothes or fabrics, our small store has everything."
"Ready-to-wear, my handmaidens also choose one or two, are there any in the store?"
"Yes, yes! The maidservants are all on the inside of the first floor, and the young lady and yours are on the second floor. ”
The shopkeeper raised his hand and pointed to the stairs behind him, looking down the stairs, the decoration was different to the naked eye.
Although the first floor is also beautifully decorated with high-quality wooden floors, the second floor looks more luxurious.
Faintly visible on the polished floor, there are also the finest cashmere blankets on the floor, and a corner of the display shelf, a valuable porcelain vase and jade.
The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly beckoned to the servant, and ordered: "Go and lead the grandmother and the girls to the inside to choose clothes and fabrics!" Miss, will you take you to the second floor to have a look? ”
Mama Hu was still very cautious, stepped forward and stopped: "Don't bother the shopkeeper, just follow the old slave." ”
The shopkeeper still had a signature smile on his face, and said, "Mama, don't you also want to choose clothes?" ”
"It's okay, the old slave is also old, and he doesn't pick the style of clothes, what to buy and what to wear."
Ye Shuhua's face did not move, and he looked at the shopkeeper's expression quietly, and there was already a little guess in his heart.
"Mama Hu, it's okay, just let the shopkeeper take me. You go and pick out clothes, and you just happened to help Ji Cui check and pick it, her vision is really bad, don't look back, she picks out a dress with bells and whistles, and you will have a headache when the time comes. ”
Mama Hu wanted to insist on going along, but when she saw that the young lady said this, she thought of Ji Cui again, this girl can really do this.
I had to reluctantly nod and agree.
The shopkeeper was visibly happy with the naked eye, the corners of his mouth grinned wider, and he lowered his waist, "Miss, please." ”
When she went up to the second floor, the scene in front of her really shocked her.
