The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 115
Chapter 115
When Yun Xi smiled and looked at Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu who came to the door, her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, "You said, you want to drive Ayu out of Wu's house?"
Mrs. Wu stuck her neck and said: "We just want to inform you that you are just an outsider. This is our Wu family's housework, and you are not qualified to intervene."
Yun Xi longed for Ayu to get out of the quagmire of the Wu family, but she couldn't show it, otherwise Mrs. Wu and the others would repent, and her arrangements would be wasted.Her expression was slightly cold, "You guys are unfair to Ayu, so why don't you allow me to fight for her?"
Yun Xi looked at Wu Ayu who was always silent, "Ayu, what do you think about this matter?"
When she heard that her biological parents were going to drive her out of the house, Wu Ayu couldn't tell whether she felt more sad or more joyful. This extremely complicated emotion made her seem to lose her language function.
She looked straight at her parents, and Mrs. Wu looked at her centipede-like scars, and for some reason, suddenly felt a little guilty.
After a while, she said, "Whatever."
Seeing that she agreed, Mrs. Wu quickly shook off her guilty conscience, and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go to Lizheng!" She wished she could drive Ayu out today.
Yun Xi glanced at her, "What about 20 taels?"
Mrs. Wu's face froze, and she reluctantly took out the money from her bosom.
Yun Xi counted the money and asked Yun Yao, who was still aggrieved by Ayu, to keep the money.
Then they took Ayu's hand and went to Tao's house together.
When they arrived at Tao's house, quite a few people had already gathered in Tao's house, a few older ones came to be witnesses, and others came to watch the excitement.
Yun Xi smiled wryly in her heart: It seems that during the year she traveled through, what she did most was signing paperwork.However, if she doesn't dig out the carrion first, she won't feel at ease when she makes money.
Tao Tiangong asked again: "Wu Shi, Wu Sheng, are you really going to expel your daughter Wu Ayu from the Wu family?"
"Really, it's truer than gold." Mrs. Wu said.
Tao Tiangong asked his grandson to write the paperwork for expulsion from the house. Yun Xi looked at the above regulations and said, "Can I add a few conditions?"
Tao Tiangong knew that Yunxi must be doing it for Ayu's good, and he himself couldn't understand the Wu family's behavior, so he stroked his beard and said, "Go ahead."
Yun Xi said slowly: "First of all, after the Wu family expelled Ayu, Ayu was no longer a daughter of the Wu family, and had no relationship with the Wu family from then on. The Wu family, Wu Sheng and Wu De could no longer coerce her into doing things as relatives. Right? If you regret it in the future, you can’t ask Ayu to come back, right?”
Everyone else nodded, "This is common sense."
There is no reason to expel people and take advantage of them.This kind of thing is very serious, not a joke.
Mrs. Wu opened her mouth, noticing the expressions of approval from the others, she could only swallow what she wanted to say.
Yun Xi continued: "In the future, even if the Wu family loses and Ayu becomes rich, the Wu family must not cling to Ayu or slander Ayu."
Mrs. Wu said angrily: "Fart, my family won't lose!"
How dare Du Yunxi curse their Wu family!
Yun Xi said: "I'm just assuming." She said to Tao Tiangong's grandson Tao Yu: "Add this requirement."
She really didn't believe that the Wu family would prosper, and it would be good if they didn't lose.Only Mrs. Wu, who is blind, thinks that her son is talented. It would be bad if these people see Ayu's life is better and look for him by licking their faces.It's better for her to plan ahead.
Mrs. Wu scolded: "What are you writing about? What is there to write about this kind of thing?"
Yun Xi confronted her tit for tat, "It's fine not to write this request, then don't drive Ayu out. I just want to see if your son's body can hold on?"
She is not the one who is rushing now, she doesn't worry at all.
Mrs. Wu's expression changed, but finally she gritted her teeth and agreed to Yun Xi's request.
Yun Xi added a few more items, and after ensuring that there were no mistakes, she nodded in satisfaction.Wu Ayu handed everything over to Yun Xi, she knew that what she did was definitely not as good as Yun Xi's.
After both parties reached a consensus, they signed the paperwork.
After pressing the fingerprints, Wu Ayu felt that the rope that had been confining her had been lifted at this moment, and she felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
Her cheeks turned red and her eyes became moist.She took one last look at her parents and left behind Yun Xi.
As for the Wu family couple, they went back and continued to guard their son.
With the medicine that Yun Xi took, Wu De would be able to wake up almost tomorrow morning.
After returning home, Yun Xi directly gave Ayu the 20 taels that Mrs. Wu had sent earlier, and said with a smile, "This is your money, so you can keep it."
Wu Ayu pushed the money over and shook her head, "You paid for this ointment, so you can't lose it." Although she had only applied it for a few days, she had already seen the effect, and the scars on her face were fading a little every day .
Yun Xi smiled, "It's okay, the ointment actually didn't cost me." She paused, and then said: "Actually, I made this ointment myself, and it didn't cost ten cents. Let people know." Even the other side medicines of Qianhe Ointment were planted by her, which made the effect of Qianhe Ointment even better than the beginning.
Only then did Wu Ayu accept the money.
What Yun Xi didn't tell her was that because of Dr. Wang's help, she would start giving the Wang family twenty bottles of Qianhe Ointment every month next month, which was equivalent to another 200 taels a month.
After being kicked out of the house by the Wu family, Wu Ayu lived in the Du family completely.
Now that she has those 20 taels of silver and a salary of one tael every month, her life will only get better and better.
Wu Ayu asked hesitantly: "Our store will open tomorrow, would it be better for me to wear a veil?" She was afraid that her face would scare the customers.
Yun Xi tilted her head and said, "Why are you wearing a veil?"
Wu Ayu said: "It's not good to scare the guests."
Yun Xi unconsciously softened her tone, "It's not your fault that your appearance was ruined, and you don't need to worry about other people's faults." Besides, she just wanted to let everyone know about the immoral things the Wu family did. ruined the Wu family's reputation.For scholars, reputation is the most important thing.
Wu Ayu was silent for a while, then said: "Then don't wear it."
Yun Xi nodded, thinking that the store would open again from tomorrow, she felt that the rest time was really short.
She smiled slightly at Ayu, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so we can just watch the lantern festival and put on the lanterns."
It is said that if you put the lantern in the water and let it float down, you can get rid of bad luck for the year, but the lantern must be made by yourself.
Ayu also nodded emphatically, "Okay, the two of us will do it together at night."
What makes Yun Xi depressed is that she really doesn't have much talent in handicrafts. The lanterns she made... are ugly. Compared with her, Ayu is much more ingenious.The only thing that comforts her is that Yunyao is not much better than her.It can only be said that the girls from the Du family don't have this talent.
Just as Yun Xi expected, when Du's small shop officially opened, Ayu's face really attracted people's inquiries.
Ayu has been working in the store for so long, and some of the regular customers are very familiar with her, and seeing the little girl's face ruined to such a virtue, most of them feel pity and pity.
Anyway, Ayu used to be the daughter of the Wu family, so it's hard to say anything.But Yun Xi and Yun Yao did not have this taboo.
Yunyao has always had a very strong opinion on the Wu family, and she directly publicized the great achievements of the Wu family, combined with Ayu's face, the effect is not so good.
In addition, the shop's business has been booming, and there are many customers who come to the door, and the reputation of the Wu family is completely stink in the city.
Yun Xi was very satisfied with this, and this could be regarded as a little revenge for Ayu.
During the period when the business was closed for the Chinese New Year, everyone held back for a long time and didn't eat this bunch of incense, and the homemade ones were not as delicious as Yunxi's, and they all missed it.Therefore, Yun Xi's business is really not ordinary. Before the afternoon application time, it has already sold out today's portion.
Seeing that everyone didn't discriminate against her face, Wu Ayu's mood improved a lot.
When they were about to close the shop, a dark-skinned girl poked her head outside the shop with a hesitant expression, as if hesitating for something.
Even Yun Yao had noticed the other party, but the other party hadn't taken any action, so they couldn't say anything.
When they put their things in the bullock cart and were about to go back, the girl finally mustered up the courage to stop her, "Is it the third lady of the Du family and Wu De's younger sister?"
Yun Xi said: "Now she is not Wu De's younger sister, but my younger sister. Is there something wrong?" She directly recognized Wu Ayu as her younger sister.
The dark-skinned woman pursed her lips and said, "I am Shen Yan...my father is Shen Wa, and my father wanted to tell Wu De about me before."
Shen Wa's appearance can't be called good-looking, with a stout figure and dark skin.
She continued: "Did the Wu family really ruin their daughter like this?"
Yun Xi raised her brows, pointed at A Yu, and said to Shen Yan: "Look at A Yu's appearance, if she hadn't been forced to a desperate situation, which woman would ruin her appearance?" She paused, but still kindly reminded, " Miss Shen, that Wu De is not a good match. Her mother also slandered you in front of me, thinking that you are not worthy of her son, saying that your Shen family is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. But in my eyes, it is her son who is not worthy You are."
Shen Wa has only one son, Shen Yan. After getting married, the Shen family's property is equivalent to Shen Yan's dowry.Fifty acres of land is more than most families in Yanghe Village have.With this generous dowry, even if Shen Yan is average-looking, she can still find a good partner.Ordinary people don't rely on their faces to eat, I'm afraid there are many people who want to propose marriage to the Shen family.
Yun Xi really didn't want a good girl to be harmed by the Wu family, so she said those words.
Shen Yan's eyes turned slightly red, but she still blessed Yun Xi, "Thank you, Sanniang, for telling me this kindly. My father saw that he was a child at a young age, and thought that before he was 30, he would definitely be able to Zhongxiucai, I will be a respected scholar lady in the future, so I want to promise me to him."
She sniffled. "I'll tell my dad about that."
After getting a definite answer from Yun Xi, Shen Yan left, but seeing her appearance, she was still quite shocked.
Yun Xi felt that it was better to be hit now than to be hit after she got married because she didn't know.There are not many women who have the courage to be divorced these days, most of them swallow their anger and deal with it for a lifetime.
The three of them sat in an ox cart and bought all the ingredients for tomorrow. Yun Xi saw that the lanterns on a stall were really exquisite and cute, so she chose one and prepared to put it in the room.
Yunyao and Ayu also chose one for themselves, everyone held small lanterns in their hands, and they all had joyful smiles on their faces.
Yun Xi saw that many people in the city had hung up their lanterns. One could imagine how lively it would be when they came here at night.
After thinking about it, she decided to come to the city for a stroll after the lanterns were put down in Yanghe Village.
The snow had already melted a few days ago, and the weather has started to turn warm these two days.However, looking at the weather, Yunxi was afraid that it would start to rain continuously after a while, and it would be a lot of trouble to travel by then.It's just that she can't stop opening the shop because of the rain.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the house, Yun Xi saw a somewhat familiar gorgeous carriage parked in front of the house.
Yun Yao blurted out, "That's Miss Dai's carriage, right?" Because Dai Yanling had only left for a few days, Yun Yao still had a deep memory of it.
Yun Xi thought about it, it really was so.Could it be that Dai Yanling came over?The other party just came home not long ago.
She hurried into the house, only to realize that she was thinking too much.Only Dai Yanling's eldest maid, Lizi, came. Lizi was very happy to see Yun Xi, "Miss Du!"
Yun Xi smiled, "Why are you here?"
Li Zi said: "Today is Lantern Festival, so Miss and Madam asked me to bring you some gifts. I'm afraid I will bother you again tonight."
It's already evening now, if Lizi goes back at this time, she will only arrive at dawn.In addition, the road is difficult to walk at night, and the risk factor has increased a lot, so he must stay at Du's house and leave after dawn.
Yun Xi smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'll cook something delicious for you at night."
Lizi's eyes lit up, and when she laughed, she had two pear dimples just like Yun Xi, she clapped her hands and said, "It's not in vain, I just snatched this job from Juzi."
Yun Xi chuckled, she just took it as a compliment to her cooking skills.
Yunyao and Lizi are also quite familiar, so they smiled and chatted with her, while Yun Xi went to the kitchen to make dinner.
Mrs. Du Zhou asked: "Yun Xi, the Dai family brought gifts here, shouldn't it be better for us to return the gifts? I saw that those gifts are very precious. I have never seen such beautiful silk and satin. Very comfortable."
As Du Zhou's chattered, Yun Xi probably also knew about the gifts from Dai's family. There were six pieces of silk and satin that Du Zhou's name could not be named, a set of head jewelry, two jade pendants, and some medicinal materials.
"The annual gifts from the Zeng family are not as precious as theirs." Mrs. Du concluded in this way.
Yun Xi said: "The Dai family are fellow acquaintances of the fifth rank, so the gifts they give must naturally match their identities. You must know that the county magistrate is the seventh rank."
After she explained it like this, Du Zhou understood that the Dai family was much more powerful than the county magistrate's family.This made it even more difficult for her to return the gift.
Yun Xi didn't care about it, and said directly: "It's okay, just send the sausage and beef jerky we made over there. Well, I'll give her the recipe for boiled chicken. I think Yan Ling liked this dish very much at that time."
Du Zhou nodded, and felt that such a gift in return was not rude at all. She knew very well that her niece could sell a recipe for 100 taels.
In the evening, Yunxi made duck muddled, braised mullet eggs with mushrooms, and candied sweet potatoes, and Du Zhoushi also fried three dishes, which looked very hearty.
Pear was very satisfied with this dinner.
After eating, everyone washed up, put on new clothes, and went to Yanghe to put lanterns.
The night in Yanghe Village has never been so lively. When Yunxi passed by, the banks of Yanghe River were almost full of people.Yun Xi also saw the Wu family, and Wu De had already woken up in the morning.Even if Mrs. Wu brought him to set off lanterns, she would also get rid of the bad luck of the year.
After seeing Yun Xi and the others, Wu De wondered if he recalled the memory of being enveloped by Yun Xi's murderous aura before, his body stiffened involuntarily, and he turned his head hastily, as if he didn't see Yun Xi.
It seems that after that, he had a psychological shadow on Yun Xi.
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth curled up, which was a surprise.Being thought of by a disgusting person like Wu De made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Li Zi also followed Yun Xi and the others happily released the lanterns she made before going out. Yun Xi watched the lanterns floating in the water and slowly washed down by the current, with a smile on her lips all the time.
Because of these lanterns, the surface of the river is reflected like daytime, and the bright moon above the head is like a disc, and the bright brilliance falls down.
After the lanterns were set off, Yun Xi and his party set off into the city with great interest.As for Du Zhoushi and Du Yifu, the two of them were going back to rest after setting off the lanterns.After all, they are all in their 30s, and their energy is no match for their little girl.
Originally, they were going to take an ox cart, but Li Zi volunteered to say that it would be faster to take their Dai's carriage.
The same is true when Yun Xi thinks about it, so it is better to be respectful than obedient.
Sure enough, the city was much more lively than Yanghe Village. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes illuminated Phoenix City like daylight.
It was the first time Yunyao and Ayu went to the city to appreciate this scene during the Lantern Festival. Their mouths were slightly opened, and they looked extremely shocked.In comparison, Yun Xi and Li Zi were much calmer.The Lantern Festival that Yun Xi saw in her previous life was much more gorgeous than this one. Although she thought it was beautiful, she didn't lose her composure.
As for Lizi, she lives in the state capital, and the lantern festival there will only be more beautiful.
During the Lantern Festival, many street vendors who are rarely seen on weekdays also came out. Yun Xi and the others had brought some money on it, but it was a small waste of money.
There is a mixed crowd of people in this city, and they are all girls, especially Yun Xi's appearance is very eye-catching.
Some malicious people from other places walked towards Yun Xi with a smile that they thought was chic and handsome, trying to pretend to be careless so as to take advantage of it.They used this kind of method to make a girl who was belittled a lot in one night, relying on many women who were belittled for their own reputation, dare not speak out.
For this kind of person, Yun Xi has never been soft-hearted.
Before the man could succeed, Yun Xi directly grabbed the other's hand, squeezed it hard, and the other was so painful that cold sweat broke out, "Hey, you woman, let me go!"
This man also has accomplices, and those accomplices saw that his companions suffered a loss, and seeing that Yun Xi and the group were just girls, they also felt that his companions were only tricked by carelessness, so they rolled up their sleeves and said, "If you are sensible, then Let Xiao Shi go, and spend another night with us to make amends, or else I will insist on..."
Before the man finished speaking, he was replaced by screams.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Xi had already knocked all four of them to the ground, and even Yun Yao had knocked over one of them.She hated what this group of people did. Although they didn't directly wring off their hands, their hands would probably be destroyed if there wasn't a doctor to treat them.
The onlookers shook their heads over there, despising the group of out-of-towners, "It's really stupid to dare to be presumptuous without inquiring about Miss Du's identity."
Yun Xi used to show her skills in front of others, and even Lai San suffered a lot at that time, so everyone in Fenghuang County knew that she should not mess with anyone.
"That's right, don't say ten, even if there are a hundred more, they won't be Ms. Du's match."
Seeing that this group of people were about to make her the number one master of Chu, Yun Xi's cheeks became hot, and she hurriedly dragged Yun Yao and Li Zi away.
As for that group of people, I think there will be warm-hearted people entertaining them.
Lizi looked at her with bright eyes, "You are really amazing."
Yun Xi was modest, "It's just so-so."
Yun Yao has a proud face on her face.
Li Zi sighed: "At first, I saw that you are as weak and weak as Second Miss, and I didn't particularly like you. Later, I realized that your temperaments are not the same at all."
She seemed to realize that she shouldn't say such things, at least a servant girl is not good at speaking ill of her master, so she smiled coyly, pretending to be interested in the lantern next to her.
Yun Xi also thoughtfully pretended not to hear.
After the three of them walked around, they went back.
After rewashing, Yun Xi was about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.
"Miss Du, are you asleep?" An old voice sounded.
Yun Xi recognized that she was an old woman who came with Li Zi, from Cang Lin's family, and it was said that her daughter Xiu Hong was the maidservant in Dai Yanling's yard.
Yun Xi was puzzled, but she went over and opened the door. Canglin's family stood at the door and smiled at her, "Can I go in? I have something to ask Ms. Du for help."
As soon as Yun Xi nodded, the Canglin family immediately closed the door, as if he was afraid that people would notice that he was looking for Yun Xi.Yun Xi vaguely felt that the only thing she was afraid of was pears.Lizi is Dai Yanling's trusted maid, compared to Canglin's family, the relationship is much farther away.Who to trust is naturally self-evident.
"It's like this, Miss Du. We have a master in Dai's mansion who wants to buy two pots of daffodils from you."
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and directly refused, "No need, I won't sell it."
The Canglin family was startled, "Why?"
Yun Xi said: "That person must have a bad relationship with Yanling, otherwise she could have bought it from me through Yanling. Yanling is my friend, so naturally I wouldn't do anything that would make her unhappy."
Cang Lin's family hurriedly said: "The eldest miss just misunderstood the second miss. They are sisters, and it will be fine if we talk about it."
Yun Xi remained unmoved, "Then after they reconcile, Second Miss will come and buy from me."
So the Canglin family was sent by the second lady?She suddenly remembered what Li Zi blurted out during the lantern festival, and she was afraid that there was more than just a misunderstanding between the two sisters.
The Canglin family didn't expect her attitude to be so firm. A normal commoner woman, when she hears that the lady of the same prefect asked for daffodils, shouldn't she make an offering in fear?
She gritted her teeth and said, "Second Miss is willing to buy two pots of narcissus with ten taels of silver."
In her opinion, ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to spend a year, and Yun Xi will definitely not refuse.A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, she obviously felt that Yun Xi would definitely kneel down in front of Yin Zi.
It's just that she doesn't know that Yun Xi can earn two to three hundred taels a month now.Even if she is short of money, she will not betray her friends for money.
Yun Xi just thought it was funny, "Give up on it, even if you give me 100 taels, I won't sell it to you. I don't need this little money."
She was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with this person, so she kicked her out of the room directly.The Canglin family didn't want to give up so easily. You must know that the second young lady promised her that if she succeeds in this matter, she would give her 20 taels.It's just that Yun Xi's attitude didn't waver at all, and she was afraid of attracting Li Zi's attention, and finally scolded Yun Xi hundreds of times in her heart, but she could only sneak back to the room in desperation, ready to think of a better solution.
After she left, Yun Xi turned directly to Li Zi's side, intending to tell her about it.This Canglin family member, who was able to follow him this time, must be because he was regarded as someone from Yanling's side.But this person took refuge in that second lady...
At least she had to let Yanling know about it.
She knocked on the door lightly, looking at the light inside, she knew that Li Zi was still asleep.After a while, Lizi came out to open the door. When she saw Yun Xi, she was about to say something, but Yun Xi made a booing motion to signal her to keep her voice down.
Lizi nodded understandingly, and turned to let Yun Xi come in quickly.
After closing the door, Yun Xi told her about the Canglin family who came to her to buy daffodils, emphatically saying, "This is what the second lady ordered." She really didn't know the Dai family, so she didn't I know how many daughters the Dai family has.
Lizi's face was livid, and she sneered, "It's really wishful thinking."
She looked at Yun Xi, and explained to her a little bit, "Actually, the reason why Miss was looking for that narcissus before was because Master Biao accidentally looked down on the narcissus of the master's house when he was a guest some time ago, and he liked it very much. But she doesn't want to steal others' favors. It just so happens that Young Master Biao's birthday is approaching, so the lady thought of finding this and giving it to him as a present."
Yun Xi teased and said: "Yan Ling and her cousin must be childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts."
Lizi did not directly admit this, but continued to explain: "Our eldest daughter is the eldest daughter of our Dai family, and her status cannot be more honorable. As for the second miss, she is the daughter of Aunt Lin. The second miss has always liked to rob the eldest lady since she was a child." things, coupled with Young Master Biao's handsome appearance and talent, that's why he was attracted to him."
Yun Xi shook her head, "It seems that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."
Li Zi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master has the utmost respect for Madam. Although he loves Second Miss, he is no better than Eldest Miss. Besides, with the character and appearance of Young Master Biao, there is no way for Second Miss to be admired."
Yun Xi didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "Since the other party wants to buy it from me, I just won't give it to her. Well, I'll send you two more pots tomorrow morning. Remember to let the second lady see it."
Lizi chuckled, "The second young lady must be going to die of anger." She seemed to think of that scene, her eyes brightened even more.
Yun Xi talked to her a little bit, seeing that Li Zi looked sleepy, she let her rest.She thought about the narcissus she had cultivated with supernatural powers these days, and decided to give Dai Yanling two pots of them that were quite good in quality.These flowers may be very precious in the eyes of others, but for her, cultivating them couldn't be easier. In the process of cultivating, she can also exercise her abilities, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Yun Xi had to open the shop the next day, so naturally she got up early to order things.Zheng Pingping and Zhang Xiaojuan also came to help early in the morning, but they both looked a little tired.
After Yun Xi asked, she found out that the two of them also went to see the lantern show last night, and they returned later.
Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "After the string is finished, you two might as well sleep with me for an hour before going back. If your family members ask, they will say that you have a lot of work today, so it will be finished later." Otherwise, the Zheng family He and Zhang's family must have both girls help with work, so there will be no time to catch up on sleep.
Zhang Xiaojuan and the others knew that Yun Xi was doing it for their own good, so they naturally smiled and thanked her.
When Yun Xi was halfway through, she went to prepare breakfast for Li Zi and the people in Dai's family.
After she was full, Lizi waved goodbye to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi did not forget to give the daffodils to Li Zi in front of Cang Lin's family.The Canglin family's city mansion is not particularly deep. Seeing this scene, his face immediately turned dark.She spent a lot of time in the morning trying to find a chance to grind out a pot or two from Yun Xi, and she bid 20 taels for a pot, but they all came back in failure.
But if the Canglin family were smart people, they wouldn't be so stupid as to abandon Dai Yanling and work for the second miss.
Lizi naturally also noticed the expression of Canglin's family, she didn't show any other expressions on her face, but she also knew that she would definitely have an attack when she returned to Dai's mansion.
After seeing off the Dai family, Yun Xi also divided up the gifts from the Dai family.The cloth, jade ruyi and medicinal materials were all stored in the warehouse, and the jade pendant happened to be one for her and Yunyao. As for the headgear, Du Zhou insisted that it belonged to her, so Yunxi kept it in her room.
Seeing that the quality of the jade pendant was really good, Yun Yao was reluctant to wear it on her body, for fear of being clumsy and bumping it accidentally.
Mrs. Du Zhou also nodded and said: "This thing is decent even if it is used as a dowry for Yunyao in the future. If Yunyao wants a jade pendant, mother will buy one for you to wear in a few days."
Yun Xi was speechless.But they also knew in their hearts that they didn't dare to waste money because they were used to being poor.Silently thinking in my heart, I must make this family richer.
……
As soon as the flowers bloomed, when Li Zi returned to Dai's mansion with the gift from Yun Xi, Dai Yanling saw a bag of sausages and two catties of beef jerky, and smiled happily, "Yun Xi still understands me, I know I like to eat these." She had eaten both at Du's house, and she missed them very much after returning home, and asked the kitchen to try to make them, but the people below just couldn't make them taste like this.
Lizi also took out the recipe for boiled chicken. Dai Yanling took the recipe and acted like a baby to her mother, "Mother, this is the boiled chicken I ate at Du's house. It tastes very delicious. Let's let the kitchen make it for us tonight." Eat, you will definitely like it." When she had something good, she couldn't help but want to share it with her mother.
Mrs. Dai looked like a cheerful lady, she nodded, "Although the status of this Du family is a bit low, but from what you said, it is a very well-organized family. If you like, you can talk to him." Keep in touch with the girl from home." She valued the other party's character more than her status.As long as the character is good, it doesn't matter if the status is lower.
Lizi did not forget to tell Mrs. Dai about the Canglin family.Mrs. Dai's expression turned slightly cold, and she said, "Such a disloyal person cannot stay by your side."
Dai Yanling was also very angry. She thought she treated everyone around her well.She nodded and said: "Fortunately, Yun Xi is smart, and was not easily coaxed by the second sister."
Mrs. Dai has been in charge of the Dai family for more than 20 years, and she has her own skills. She patted Dai Yanling's hand and said, "It's because my aunt is not doing well, so Yanxi is in need of someone to help her. I can only borrow you, my sister, to help her." Yes. It’s just a few slaves, so you can give it to your sister. Mother will find you some more appropriate ones.”
Dai Yanling was not a stupid person either, and soon understood what Mrs. Dai meant, and couldn't help laughing.She turned her head sideways and said, "Well, I'll tell Dad about this tonight. Dad will be very pleased to see our sisterly love."
Hmph, Dai Yanxi is not the only one who can pretend, she can do it too, it's just that she didn't bother to use this method before.
Seeing that Miss and Madam's mood improved, Li Zi took out the two pots of narcissus that Yun Xi had given her, and said, "Miss, this narcissus is a new variety raised by Miss Du, and I specially asked me to bring it to you."
When Dai Yanling and Mrs. Dai saw the two pots of narcissus, they were stunned.There is no other reason. These two pots of narcissus are both of the Yulinglong variety. Not to mention their good appearance, the quilt is as flawless as white jade, and the corolla is the purest yellow, yellow and white. This kind of pure beauty makes people Unconsciously indulge in this beauty.
Mrs. Dai sighed, "This flower is too precious, as long as you take it out, even if you sell it for 1000 taels, there will be people clamoring for it."
Lizi was taken aback. Although she also thought the flower was beautiful, she didn't know that it could be sold for so much money.
Although Dai Yanling liked the flower very much in her heart and was very reluctant to give it up, she still said to her confidant maid: "It's better to send this flower back to Yun Xi. She must not know the value."
Lizi recalled what Yun Xi had said to her before departure, bit her lower lip, and said, "Girl, before I came back, Ms. Du said to me, no matter how good things are, they are just things, and you can use them to win over friends." Joy is its best value. I didn't understand why she said that at the time, but now that I think about it, Ms. Du knew the value of this flower, but she still chose to give it to you."
Dai Yanling heard the words and said, "Looking like this, even if we send it back, Yun Xi won't accept it."
Mrs. Dai said softly to her daughter: "Since this is the case, let's accept it. We will send a few more generous gifts in the future."
Dai Yanling nodded vigorously, and the corner of her mouth suddenly evoked a joyful smile, "My cousin will definitely be very happy when he sees this. Well, when the time comes, I'll give one pot to my cousin, and keep the other pot in my room."
This can be regarded as a pair.As for the few pots that Yun Xi gave before, they can just borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and put them in father's study.
Seeing her daughter's state of mind, Mrs. Dai knew in her heart that her daughter's whole heart was attached to her nephew, and she felt relieved and at the same time felt a little sad.
Her daughter just needs to be happy like this forever, and as for other obstacles, her mother will help her solve them.
On the other side, the Canglin family didn't know that she was in a catastrophe, so they entered the yard of the second young lady, Dai Yanxi, and told her about the encounter with Yunxi.
Dai Yanxi looks exactly like Aunt Lin when she was young.Chuzhou Tongzhi didn't have many concubines in Dai Hai's backyard, and there were only three official concubines. Among them, Aunt Lin had a son and a daughter. She was also beautiful and caring, so she was the most favored among the concubines. Even taking Dai Yanxi, a daughter, is very respectable in front of Dai Hai.
Dai Yanxi thought that her appearance and talent were far superior to that of her sister-in-law. After meeting her cousin Wang Hanyu for the first time, she fell in love with him.She knew that no matter how favored she was, she would not be able to change her concubine's background. Wang Hanyu was a juren at a young age, her grandfather was a third-rank official envoy, and her father was a magistrate. Among the men Dai Yanxi could come into contact with, There is no one who can be better than Wang Hanyu.The other party was not the kind of person who would discriminate against concubines, and was gentle with others, so Dai Yanxi couldn't help but want to grab at the straw.
In her heart, even if the aunt wants to marry the aunt, so long as the marriage is not finalized, she still has a chance.Because of this, after hearing that Wang Hanyu fell in love with narcissus, a flower that he had never seen before.It was found out that after Dai Yanling got the daffodils from the Du family, when Lizi set out again, she sent her nails to Canglin's family.
Originally, she thought that Du Yunxi was just a little village girl who had never seen the world. She would spend 50 taels of silver at most, and the other party would obediently send her the best narcissus for her to choose, but she didn't expect Du Yunxi to reject her.He also said righteously that he would not betray his friends.
Dai Yanxi's face turned livid, and her hands tightly clenched the handkerchief.
The Canglin family was annoyed that Yun Xi prevented her from earning this money, so they added fuel to the fire, "Second Miss, that Du Yunxi, a village girl, dares to despise Second Miss for being a concubine, saying that she doesn't want to sell Narcissus to us. "
Concubine has always been Dai Yanxi's heart disease. After hearing this, her eyes became fierce, and the soft and beautiful features on her face were destroyed by this hostility, "Okay! What a Du Yunxi!"
"A village girl dares to despise me, the daughter of an official, I must let her try my tricks."
She tried her best to suppress the killing intent in her heart, looked at the Canglin family, with a cold smile on her face, "Come here, I have a task for you. If you do well, the one I gave you earlier 50 taels, I will reward you directly."
The Canglin family was overjoyed, quickly put their ears to it, and then nodded from time to time.
(End of this chapter)
When Yun Xi smiled and looked at Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu who came to the door, her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, "You said, you want to drive Ayu out of Wu's house?"
Mrs. Wu stuck her neck and said: "We just want to inform you that you are just an outsider. This is our Wu family's housework, and you are not qualified to intervene."
Yun Xi longed for Ayu to get out of the quagmire of the Wu family, but she couldn't show it, otherwise Mrs. Wu and the others would repent, and her arrangements would be wasted.Her expression was slightly cold, "You guys are unfair to Ayu, so why don't you allow me to fight for her?"
Yun Xi looked at Wu Ayu who was always silent, "Ayu, what do you think about this matter?"
When she heard that her biological parents were going to drive her out of the house, Wu Ayu couldn't tell whether she felt more sad or more joyful. This extremely complicated emotion made her seem to lose her language function.
She looked straight at her parents, and Mrs. Wu looked at her centipede-like scars, and for some reason, suddenly felt a little guilty.
After a while, she said, "Whatever."
Seeing that she agreed, Mrs. Wu quickly shook off her guilty conscience, and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go to Lizheng!" She wished she could drive Ayu out today.
Yun Xi glanced at her, "What about 20 taels?"
Mrs. Wu's face froze, and she reluctantly took out the money from her bosom.
Yun Xi counted the money and asked Yun Yao, who was still aggrieved by Ayu, to keep the money.
Then they took Ayu's hand and went to Tao's house together.
When they arrived at Tao's house, quite a few people had already gathered in Tao's house, a few older ones came to be witnesses, and others came to watch the excitement.
Yun Xi smiled wryly in her heart: It seems that during the year she traveled through, what she did most was signing paperwork.However, if she doesn't dig out the carrion first, she won't feel at ease when she makes money.
Tao Tiangong asked again: "Wu Shi, Wu Sheng, are you really going to expel your daughter Wu Ayu from the Wu family?"
"Really, it's truer than gold." Mrs. Wu said.
Tao Tiangong asked his grandson to write the paperwork for expulsion from the house. Yun Xi looked at the above regulations and said, "Can I add a few conditions?"
Tao Tiangong knew that Yunxi must be doing it for Ayu's good, and he himself couldn't understand the Wu family's behavior, so he stroked his beard and said, "Go ahead."
Yun Xi said slowly: "First of all, after the Wu family expelled Ayu, Ayu was no longer a daughter of the Wu family, and had no relationship with the Wu family from then on. The Wu family, Wu Sheng and Wu De could no longer coerce her into doing things as relatives. Right? If you regret it in the future, you can’t ask Ayu to come back, right?”
Everyone else nodded, "This is common sense."
There is no reason to expel people and take advantage of them.This kind of thing is very serious, not a joke.
Mrs. Wu opened her mouth, noticing the expressions of approval from the others, she could only swallow what she wanted to say.
Yun Xi continued: "In the future, even if the Wu family loses and Ayu becomes rich, the Wu family must not cling to Ayu or slander Ayu."
Mrs. Wu said angrily: "Fart, my family won't lose!"
How dare Du Yunxi curse their Wu family!
Yun Xi said: "I'm just assuming." She said to Tao Tiangong's grandson Tao Yu: "Add this requirement."
She really didn't believe that the Wu family would prosper, and it would be good if they didn't lose.Only Mrs. Wu, who is blind, thinks that her son is talented. It would be bad if these people see Ayu's life is better and look for him by licking their faces.It's better for her to plan ahead.
Mrs. Wu scolded: "What are you writing about? What is there to write about this kind of thing?"
Yun Xi confronted her tit for tat, "It's fine not to write this request, then don't drive Ayu out. I just want to see if your son's body can hold on?"
She is not the one who is rushing now, she doesn't worry at all.
Mrs. Wu's expression changed, but finally she gritted her teeth and agreed to Yun Xi's request.
Yun Xi added a few more items, and after ensuring that there were no mistakes, she nodded in satisfaction.Wu Ayu handed everything over to Yun Xi, she knew that what she did was definitely not as good as Yun Xi's.
After both parties reached a consensus, they signed the paperwork.
After pressing the fingerprints, Wu Ayu felt that the rope that had been confining her had been lifted at this moment, and she felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
Her cheeks turned red and her eyes became moist.She took one last look at her parents and left behind Yun Xi.
As for the Wu family couple, they went back and continued to guard their son.
With the medicine that Yun Xi took, Wu De would be able to wake up almost tomorrow morning.
After returning home, Yun Xi directly gave Ayu the 20 taels that Mrs. Wu had sent earlier, and said with a smile, "This is your money, so you can keep it."
Wu Ayu pushed the money over and shook her head, "You paid for this ointment, so you can't lose it." Although she had only applied it for a few days, she had already seen the effect, and the scars on her face were fading a little every day .
Yun Xi smiled, "It's okay, the ointment actually didn't cost me." She paused, and then said: "Actually, I made this ointment myself, and it didn't cost ten cents. Let people know." Even the other side medicines of Qianhe Ointment were planted by her, which made the effect of Qianhe Ointment even better than the beginning.
Only then did Wu Ayu accept the money.
What Yun Xi didn't tell her was that because of Dr. Wang's help, she would start giving the Wang family twenty bottles of Qianhe Ointment every month next month, which was equivalent to another 200 taels a month.
After being kicked out of the house by the Wu family, Wu Ayu lived in the Du family completely.
Now that she has those 20 taels of silver and a salary of one tael every month, her life will only get better and better.
Wu Ayu asked hesitantly: "Our store will open tomorrow, would it be better for me to wear a veil?" She was afraid that her face would scare the customers.
Yun Xi tilted her head and said, "Why are you wearing a veil?"
Wu Ayu said: "It's not good to scare the guests."
Yun Xi unconsciously softened her tone, "It's not your fault that your appearance was ruined, and you don't need to worry about other people's faults." Besides, she just wanted to let everyone know about the immoral things the Wu family did. ruined the Wu family's reputation.For scholars, reputation is the most important thing.
Wu Ayu was silent for a while, then said: "Then don't wear it."
Yun Xi nodded, thinking that the store would open again from tomorrow, she felt that the rest time was really short.
She smiled slightly at Ayu, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so we can just watch the lantern festival and put on the lanterns."
It is said that if you put the lantern in the water and let it float down, you can get rid of bad luck for the year, but the lantern must be made by yourself.
Ayu also nodded emphatically, "Okay, the two of us will do it together at night."
What makes Yun Xi depressed is that she really doesn't have much talent in handicrafts. The lanterns she made... are ugly. Compared with her, Ayu is much more ingenious.The only thing that comforts her is that Yunyao is not much better than her.It can only be said that the girls from the Du family don't have this talent.
Just as Yun Xi expected, when Du's small shop officially opened, Ayu's face really attracted people's inquiries.
Ayu has been working in the store for so long, and some of the regular customers are very familiar with her, and seeing the little girl's face ruined to such a virtue, most of them feel pity and pity.
Anyway, Ayu used to be the daughter of the Wu family, so it's hard to say anything.But Yun Xi and Yun Yao did not have this taboo.
Yunyao has always had a very strong opinion on the Wu family, and she directly publicized the great achievements of the Wu family, combined with Ayu's face, the effect is not so good.
In addition, the shop's business has been booming, and there are many customers who come to the door, and the reputation of the Wu family is completely stink in the city.
Yun Xi was very satisfied with this, and this could be regarded as a little revenge for Ayu.
During the period when the business was closed for the Chinese New Year, everyone held back for a long time and didn't eat this bunch of incense, and the homemade ones were not as delicious as Yunxi's, and they all missed it.Therefore, Yun Xi's business is really not ordinary. Before the afternoon application time, it has already sold out today's portion.
Seeing that everyone didn't discriminate against her face, Wu Ayu's mood improved a lot.
When they were about to close the shop, a dark-skinned girl poked her head outside the shop with a hesitant expression, as if hesitating for something.
Even Yun Yao had noticed the other party, but the other party hadn't taken any action, so they couldn't say anything.
When they put their things in the bullock cart and were about to go back, the girl finally mustered up the courage to stop her, "Is it the third lady of the Du family and Wu De's younger sister?"
Yun Xi said: "Now she is not Wu De's younger sister, but my younger sister. Is there something wrong?" She directly recognized Wu Ayu as her younger sister.
The dark-skinned woman pursed her lips and said, "I am Shen Yan...my father is Shen Wa, and my father wanted to tell Wu De about me before."
Shen Wa's appearance can't be called good-looking, with a stout figure and dark skin.
She continued: "Did the Wu family really ruin their daughter like this?"
Yun Xi raised her brows, pointed at A Yu, and said to Shen Yan: "Look at A Yu's appearance, if she hadn't been forced to a desperate situation, which woman would ruin her appearance?" She paused, but still kindly reminded, " Miss Shen, that Wu De is not a good match. Her mother also slandered you in front of me, thinking that you are not worthy of her son, saying that your Shen family is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. But in my eyes, it is her son who is not worthy You are."
Shen Wa has only one son, Shen Yan. After getting married, the Shen family's property is equivalent to Shen Yan's dowry.Fifty acres of land is more than most families in Yanghe Village have.With this generous dowry, even if Shen Yan is average-looking, she can still find a good partner.Ordinary people don't rely on their faces to eat, I'm afraid there are many people who want to propose marriage to the Shen family.
Yun Xi really didn't want a good girl to be harmed by the Wu family, so she said those words.
Shen Yan's eyes turned slightly red, but she still blessed Yun Xi, "Thank you, Sanniang, for telling me this kindly. My father saw that he was a child at a young age, and thought that before he was 30, he would definitely be able to Zhongxiucai, I will be a respected scholar lady in the future, so I want to promise me to him."
She sniffled. "I'll tell my dad about that."
After getting a definite answer from Yun Xi, Shen Yan left, but seeing her appearance, she was still quite shocked.
Yun Xi felt that it was better to be hit now than to be hit after she got married because she didn't know.There are not many women who have the courage to be divorced these days, most of them swallow their anger and deal with it for a lifetime.
The three of them sat in an ox cart and bought all the ingredients for tomorrow. Yun Xi saw that the lanterns on a stall were really exquisite and cute, so she chose one and prepared to put it in the room.
Yunyao and Ayu also chose one for themselves, everyone held small lanterns in their hands, and they all had joyful smiles on their faces.
Yun Xi saw that many people in the city had hung up their lanterns. One could imagine how lively it would be when they came here at night.
After thinking about it, she decided to come to the city for a stroll after the lanterns were put down in Yanghe Village.
The snow had already melted a few days ago, and the weather has started to turn warm these two days.However, looking at the weather, Yunxi was afraid that it would start to rain continuously after a while, and it would be a lot of trouble to travel by then.It's just that she can't stop opening the shop because of the rain.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the house, Yun Xi saw a somewhat familiar gorgeous carriage parked in front of the house.
Yun Yao blurted out, "That's Miss Dai's carriage, right?" Because Dai Yanling had only left for a few days, Yun Yao still had a deep memory of it.
Yun Xi thought about it, it really was so.Could it be that Dai Yanling came over?The other party just came home not long ago.
She hurried into the house, only to realize that she was thinking too much.Only Dai Yanling's eldest maid, Lizi, came. Lizi was very happy to see Yun Xi, "Miss Du!"
Yun Xi smiled, "Why are you here?"
Li Zi said: "Today is Lantern Festival, so Miss and Madam asked me to bring you some gifts. I'm afraid I will bother you again tonight."
It's already evening now, if Lizi goes back at this time, she will only arrive at dawn.In addition, the road is difficult to walk at night, and the risk factor has increased a lot, so he must stay at Du's house and leave after dawn.
Yun Xi smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'll cook something delicious for you at night."
Lizi's eyes lit up, and when she laughed, she had two pear dimples just like Yun Xi, she clapped her hands and said, "It's not in vain, I just snatched this job from Juzi."
Yun Xi chuckled, she just took it as a compliment to her cooking skills.
Yunyao and Lizi are also quite familiar, so they smiled and chatted with her, while Yun Xi went to the kitchen to make dinner.
Mrs. Du Zhou asked: "Yun Xi, the Dai family brought gifts here, shouldn't it be better for us to return the gifts? I saw that those gifts are very precious. I have never seen such beautiful silk and satin. Very comfortable."
As Du Zhou's chattered, Yun Xi probably also knew about the gifts from Dai's family. There were six pieces of silk and satin that Du Zhou's name could not be named, a set of head jewelry, two jade pendants, and some medicinal materials.
"The annual gifts from the Zeng family are not as precious as theirs." Mrs. Du concluded in this way.
Yun Xi said: "The Dai family are fellow acquaintances of the fifth rank, so the gifts they give must naturally match their identities. You must know that the county magistrate is the seventh rank."
After she explained it like this, Du Zhou understood that the Dai family was much more powerful than the county magistrate's family.This made it even more difficult for her to return the gift.
Yun Xi didn't care about it, and said directly: "It's okay, just send the sausage and beef jerky we made over there. Well, I'll give her the recipe for boiled chicken. I think Yan Ling liked this dish very much at that time."
Du Zhou nodded, and felt that such a gift in return was not rude at all. She knew very well that her niece could sell a recipe for 100 taels.
In the evening, Yunxi made duck muddled, braised mullet eggs with mushrooms, and candied sweet potatoes, and Du Zhoushi also fried three dishes, which looked very hearty.
Pear was very satisfied with this dinner.
After eating, everyone washed up, put on new clothes, and went to Yanghe to put lanterns.
The night in Yanghe Village has never been so lively. When Yunxi passed by, the banks of Yanghe River were almost full of people.Yun Xi also saw the Wu family, and Wu De had already woken up in the morning.Even if Mrs. Wu brought him to set off lanterns, she would also get rid of the bad luck of the year.
After seeing Yun Xi and the others, Wu De wondered if he recalled the memory of being enveloped by Yun Xi's murderous aura before, his body stiffened involuntarily, and he turned his head hastily, as if he didn't see Yun Xi.
It seems that after that, he had a psychological shadow on Yun Xi.
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth curled up, which was a surprise.Being thought of by a disgusting person like Wu De made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Li Zi also followed Yun Xi and the others happily released the lanterns she made before going out. Yun Xi watched the lanterns floating in the water and slowly washed down by the current, with a smile on her lips all the time.
Because of these lanterns, the surface of the river is reflected like daytime, and the bright moon above the head is like a disc, and the bright brilliance falls down.
After the lanterns were set off, Yun Xi and his party set off into the city with great interest.As for Du Zhoushi and Du Yifu, the two of them were going back to rest after setting off the lanterns.After all, they are all in their 30s, and their energy is no match for their little girl.
Originally, they were going to take an ox cart, but Li Zi volunteered to say that it would be faster to take their Dai's carriage.
The same is true when Yun Xi thinks about it, so it is better to be respectful than obedient.
Sure enough, the city was much more lively than Yanghe Village. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes illuminated Phoenix City like daylight.
It was the first time Yunyao and Ayu went to the city to appreciate this scene during the Lantern Festival. Their mouths were slightly opened, and they looked extremely shocked.In comparison, Yun Xi and Li Zi were much calmer.The Lantern Festival that Yun Xi saw in her previous life was much more gorgeous than this one. Although she thought it was beautiful, she didn't lose her composure.
As for Lizi, she lives in the state capital, and the lantern festival there will only be more beautiful.
During the Lantern Festival, many street vendors who are rarely seen on weekdays also came out. Yun Xi and the others had brought some money on it, but it was a small waste of money.
There is a mixed crowd of people in this city, and they are all girls, especially Yun Xi's appearance is very eye-catching.
Some malicious people from other places walked towards Yun Xi with a smile that they thought was chic and handsome, trying to pretend to be careless so as to take advantage of it.They used this kind of method to make a girl who was belittled a lot in one night, relying on many women who were belittled for their own reputation, dare not speak out.
For this kind of person, Yun Xi has never been soft-hearted.
Before the man could succeed, Yun Xi directly grabbed the other's hand, squeezed it hard, and the other was so painful that cold sweat broke out, "Hey, you woman, let me go!"
This man also has accomplices, and those accomplices saw that his companions suffered a loss, and seeing that Yun Xi and the group were just girls, they also felt that his companions were only tricked by carelessness, so they rolled up their sleeves and said, "If you are sensible, then Let Xiao Shi go, and spend another night with us to make amends, or else I will insist on..."
Before the man finished speaking, he was replaced by screams.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Xi had already knocked all four of them to the ground, and even Yun Yao had knocked over one of them.She hated what this group of people did. Although they didn't directly wring off their hands, their hands would probably be destroyed if there wasn't a doctor to treat them.
The onlookers shook their heads over there, despising the group of out-of-towners, "It's really stupid to dare to be presumptuous without inquiring about Miss Du's identity."
Yun Xi used to show her skills in front of others, and even Lai San suffered a lot at that time, so everyone in Fenghuang County knew that she should not mess with anyone.
"That's right, don't say ten, even if there are a hundred more, they won't be Ms. Du's match."
Seeing that this group of people were about to make her the number one master of Chu, Yun Xi's cheeks became hot, and she hurriedly dragged Yun Yao and Li Zi away.
As for that group of people, I think there will be warm-hearted people entertaining them.
Lizi looked at her with bright eyes, "You are really amazing."
Yun Xi was modest, "It's just so-so."
Yun Yao has a proud face on her face.
Li Zi sighed: "At first, I saw that you are as weak and weak as Second Miss, and I didn't particularly like you. Later, I realized that your temperaments are not the same at all."
She seemed to realize that she shouldn't say such things, at least a servant girl is not good at speaking ill of her master, so she smiled coyly, pretending to be interested in the lantern next to her.
Yun Xi also thoughtfully pretended not to hear.
After the three of them walked around, they went back.
After rewashing, Yun Xi was about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.
"Miss Du, are you asleep?" An old voice sounded.
Yun Xi recognized that she was an old woman who came with Li Zi, from Cang Lin's family, and it was said that her daughter Xiu Hong was the maidservant in Dai Yanling's yard.
Yun Xi was puzzled, but she went over and opened the door. Canglin's family stood at the door and smiled at her, "Can I go in? I have something to ask Ms. Du for help."
As soon as Yun Xi nodded, the Canglin family immediately closed the door, as if he was afraid that people would notice that he was looking for Yun Xi.Yun Xi vaguely felt that the only thing she was afraid of was pears.Lizi is Dai Yanling's trusted maid, compared to Canglin's family, the relationship is much farther away.Who to trust is naturally self-evident.
"It's like this, Miss Du. We have a master in Dai's mansion who wants to buy two pots of daffodils from you."
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and directly refused, "No need, I won't sell it."
The Canglin family was startled, "Why?"
Yun Xi said: "That person must have a bad relationship with Yanling, otherwise she could have bought it from me through Yanling. Yanling is my friend, so naturally I wouldn't do anything that would make her unhappy."
Cang Lin's family hurriedly said: "The eldest miss just misunderstood the second miss. They are sisters, and it will be fine if we talk about it."
Yun Xi remained unmoved, "Then after they reconcile, Second Miss will come and buy from me."
So the Canglin family was sent by the second lady?She suddenly remembered what Li Zi blurted out during the lantern festival, and she was afraid that there was more than just a misunderstanding between the two sisters.
The Canglin family didn't expect her attitude to be so firm. A normal commoner woman, when she hears that the lady of the same prefect asked for daffodils, shouldn't she make an offering in fear?
She gritted her teeth and said, "Second Miss is willing to buy two pots of narcissus with ten taels of silver."
In her opinion, ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to spend a year, and Yun Xi will definitely not refuse.A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, she obviously felt that Yun Xi would definitely kneel down in front of Yin Zi.
It's just that she doesn't know that Yun Xi can earn two to three hundred taels a month now.Even if she is short of money, she will not betray her friends for money.
Yun Xi just thought it was funny, "Give up on it, even if you give me 100 taels, I won't sell it to you. I don't need this little money."
She was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with this person, so she kicked her out of the room directly.The Canglin family didn't want to give up so easily. You must know that the second young lady promised her that if she succeeds in this matter, she would give her 20 taels.It's just that Yun Xi's attitude didn't waver at all, and she was afraid of attracting Li Zi's attention, and finally scolded Yun Xi hundreds of times in her heart, but she could only sneak back to the room in desperation, ready to think of a better solution.
After she left, Yun Xi turned directly to Li Zi's side, intending to tell her about it.This Canglin family member, who was able to follow him this time, must be because he was regarded as someone from Yanling's side.But this person took refuge in that second lady...
At least she had to let Yanling know about it.
She knocked on the door lightly, looking at the light inside, she knew that Li Zi was still asleep.After a while, Lizi came out to open the door. When she saw Yun Xi, she was about to say something, but Yun Xi made a booing motion to signal her to keep her voice down.
Lizi nodded understandingly, and turned to let Yun Xi come in quickly.
After closing the door, Yun Xi told her about the Canglin family who came to her to buy daffodils, emphatically saying, "This is what the second lady ordered." She really didn't know the Dai family, so she didn't I know how many daughters the Dai family has.
Lizi's face was livid, and she sneered, "It's really wishful thinking."
She looked at Yun Xi, and explained to her a little bit, "Actually, the reason why Miss was looking for that narcissus before was because Master Biao accidentally looked down on the narcissus of the master's house when he was a guest some time ago, and he liked it very much. But she doesn't want to steal others' favors. It just so happens that Young Master Biao's birthday is approaching, so the lady thought of finding this and giving it to him as a present."
Yun Xi teased and said: "Yan Ling and her cousin must be childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts."
Lizi did not directly admit this, but continued to explain: "Our eldest daughter is the eldest daughter of our Dai family, and her status cannot be more honorable. As for the second miss, she is the daughter of Aunt Lin. The second miss has always liked to rob the eldest lady since she was a child." things, coupled with Young Master Biao's handsome appearance and talent, that's why he was attracted to him."
Yun Xi shook her head, "It seems that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."
Li Zi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master has the utmost respect for Madam. Although he loves Second Miss, he is no better than Eldest Miss. Besides, with the character and appearance of Young Master Biao, there is no way for Second Miss to be admired."
Yun Xi didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "Since the other party wants to buy it from me, I just won't give it to her. Well, I'll send you two more pots tomorrow morning. Remember to let the second lady see it."
Lizi chuckled, "The second young lady must be going to die of anger." She seemed to think of that scene, her eyes brightened even more.
Yun Xi talked to her a little bit, seeing that Li Zi looked sleepy, she let her rest.She thought about the narcissus she had cultivated with supernatural powers these days, and decided to give Dai Yanling two pots of them that were quite good in quality.These flowers may be very precious in the eyes of others, but for her, cultivating them couldn't be easier. In the process of cultivating, she can also exercise her abilities, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Yun Xi had to open the shop the next day, so naturally she got up early to order things.Zheng Pingping and Zhang Xiaojuan also came to help early in the morning, but they both looked a little tired.
After Yun Xi asked, she found out that the two of them also went to see the lantern show last night, and they returned later.
Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "After the string is finished, you two might as well sleep with me for an hour before going back. If your family members ask, they will say that you have a lot of work today, so it will be finished later." Otherwise, the Zheng family He and Zhang's family must have both girls help with work, so there will be no time to catch up on sleep.
Zhang Xiaojuan and the others knew that Yun Xi was doing it for their own good, so they naturally smiled and thanked her.
When Yun Xi was halfway through, she went to prepare breakfast for Li Zi and the people in Dai's family.
After she was full, Lizi waved goodbye to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi did not forget to give the daffodils to Li Zi in front of Cang Lin's family.The Canglin family's city mansion is not particularly deep. Seeing this scene, his face immediately turned dark.She spent a lot of time in the morning trying to find a chance to grind out a pot or two from Yun Xi, and she bid 20 taels for a pot, but they all came back in failure.
But if the Canglin family were smart people, they wouldn't be so stupid as to abandon Dai Yanling and work for the second miss.
Lizi naturally also noticed the expression of Canglin's family, she didn't show any other expressions on her face, but she also knew that she would definitely have an attack when she returned to Dai's mansion.
After seeing off the Dai family, Yun Xi also divided up the gifts from the Dai family.The cloth, jade ruyi and medicinal materials were all stored in the warehouse, and the jade pendant happened to be one for her and Yunyao. As for the headgear, Du Zhou insisted that it belonged to her, so Yunxi kept it in her room.
Seeing that the quality of the jade pendant was really good, Yun Yao was reluctant to wear it on her body, for fear of being clumsy and bumping it accidentally.
Mrs. Du Zhou also nodded and said: "This thing is decent even if it is used as a dowry for Yunyao in the future. If Yunyao wants a jade pendant, mother will buy one for you to wear in a few days."
Yun Xi was speechless.But they also knew in their hearts that they didn't dare to waste money because they were used to being poor.Silently thinking in my heart, I must make this family richer.
……
As soon as the flowers bloomed, when Li Zi returned to Dai's mansion with the gift from Yun Xi, Dai Yanling saw a bag of sausages and two catties of beef jerky, and smiled happily, "Yun Xi still understands me, I know I like to eat these." She had eaten both at Du's house, and she missed them very much after returning home, and asked the kitchen to try to make them, but the people below just couldn't make them taste like this.
Lizi also took out the recipe for boiled chicken. Dai Yanling took the recipe and acted like a baby to her mother, "Mother, this is the boiled chicken I ate at Du's house. It tastes very delicious. Let's let the kitchen make it for us tonight." Eat, you will definitely like it." When she had something good, she couldn't help but want to share it with her mother.
Mrs. Dai looked like a cheerful lady, she nodded, "Although the status of this Du family is a bit low, but from what you said, it is a very well-organized family. If you like, you can talk to him." Keep in touch with the girl from home." She valued the other party's character more than her status.As long as the character is good, it doesn't matter if the status is lower.
Lizi did not forget to tell Mrs. Dai about the Canglin family.Mrs. Dai's expression turned slightly cold, and she said, "Such a disloyal person cannot stay by your side."
Dai Yanling was also very angry. She thought she treated everyone around her well.She nodded and said: "Fortunately, Yun Xi is smart, and was not easily coaxed by the second sister."
Mrs. Dai has been in charge of the Dai family for more than 20 years, and she has her own skills. She patted Dai Yanling's hand and said, "It's because my aunt is not doing well, so Yanxi is in need of someone to help her. I can only borrow you, my sister, to help her." Yes. It’s just a few slaves, so you can give it to your sister. Mother will find you some more appropriate ones.”
Dai Yanling was not a stupid person either, and soon understood what Mrs. Dai meant, and couldn't help laughing.She turned her head sideways and said, "Well, I'll tell Dad about this tonight. Dad will be very pleased to see our sisterly love."
Hmph, Dai Yanxi is not the only one who can pretend, she can do it too, it's just that she didn't bother to use this method before.
Seeing that Miss and Madam's mood improved, Li Zi took out the two pots of narcissus that Yun Xi had given her, and said, "Miss, this narcissus is a new variety raised by Miss Du, and I specially asked me to bring it to you."
When Dai Yanling and Mrs. Dai saw the two pots of narcissus, they were stunned.There is no other reason. These two pots of narcissus are both of the Yulinglong variety. Not to mention their good appearance, the quilt is as flawless as white jade, and the corolla is the purest yellow, yellow and white. This kind of pure beauty makes people Unconsciously indulge in this beauty.
Mrs. Dai sighed, "This flower is too precious, as long as you take it out, even if you sell it for 1000 taels, there will be people clamoring for it."
Lizi was taken aback. Although she also thought the flower was beautiful, she didn't know that it could be sold for so much money.
Although Dai Yanling liked the flower very much in her heart and was very reluctant to give it up, she still said to her confidant maid: "It's better to send this flower back to Yun Xi. She must not know the value."
Lizi recalled what Yun Xi had said to her before departure, bit her lower lip, and said, "Girl, before I came back, Ms. Du said to me, no matter how good things are, they are just things, and you can use them to win over friends." Joy is its best value. I didn't understand why she said that at the time, but now that I think about it, Ms. Du knew the value of this flower, but she still chose to give it to you."
Dai Yanling heard the words and said, "Looking like this, even if we send it back, Yun Xi won't accept it."
Mrs. Dai said softly to her daughter: "Since this is the case, let's accept it. We will send a few more generous gifts in the future."
Dai Yanling nodded vigorously, and the corner of her mouth suddenly evoked a joyful smile, "My cousin will definitely be very happy when he sees this. Well, when the time comes, I'll give one pot to my cousin, and keep the other pot in my room."
This can be regarded as a pair.As for the few pots that Yun Xi gave before, they can just borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and put them in father's study.
Seeing her daughter's state of mind, Mrs. Dai knew in her heart that her daughter's whole heart was attached to her nephew, and she felt relieved and at the same time felt a little sad.
Her daughter just needs to be happy like this forever, and as for other obstacles, her mother will help her solve them.
On the other side, the Canglin family didn't know that she was in a catastrophe, so they entered the yard of the second young lady, Dai Yanxi, and told her about the encounter with Yunxi.
Dai Yanxi looks exactly like Aunt Lin when she was young.Chuzhou Tongzhi didn't have many concubines in Dai Hai's backyard, and there were only three official concubines. Among them, Aunt Lin had a son and a daughter. She was also beautiful and caring, so she was the most favored among the concubines. Even taking Dai Yanxi, a daughter, is very respectable in front of Dai Hai.
Dai Yanxi thought that her appearance and talent were far superior to that of her sister-in-law. After meeting her cousin Wang Hanyu for the first time, she fell in love with him.She knew that no matter how favored she was, she would not be able to change her concubine's background. Wang Hanyu was a juren at a young age, her grandfather was a third-rank official envoy, and her father was a magistrate. Among the men Dai Yanxi could come into contact with, There is no one who can be better than Wang Hanyu.The other party was not the kind of person who would discriminate against concubines, and was gentle with others, so Dai Yanxi couldn't help but want to grab at the straw.
In her heart, even if the aunt wants to marry the aunt, so long as the marriage is not finalized, she still has a chance.Because of this, after hearing that Wang Hanyu fell in love with narcissus, a flower that he had never seen before.It was found out that after Dai Yanling got the daffodils from the Du family, when Lizi set out again, she sent her nails to Canglin's family.
Originally, she thought that Du Yunxi was just a little village girl who had never seen the world. She would spend 50 taels of silver at most, and the other party would obediently send her the best narcissus for her to choose, but she didn't expect Du Yunxi to reject her.He also said righteously that he would not betray his friends.
Dai Yanxi's face turned livid, and her hands tightly clenched the handkerchief.
The Canglin family was annoyed that Yun Xi prevented her from earning this money, so they added fuel to the fire, "Second Miss, that Du Yunxi, a village girl, dares to despise Second Miss for being a concubine, saying that she doesn't want to sell Narcissus to us. "
Concubine has always been Dai Yanxi's heart disease. After hearing this, her eyes became fierce, and the soft and beautiful features on her face were destroyed by this hostility, "Okay! What a Du Yunxi!"
"A village girl dares to despise me, the daughter of an official, I must let her try my tricks."
She tried her best to suppress the killing intent in her heart, looked at the Canglin family, with a cold smile on her face, "Come here, I have a task for you. If you do well, the one I gave you earlier 50 taels, I will reward you directly."
The Canglin family was overjoyed, quickly put their ears to it, and then nodded from time to time.
