The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 171 Hire, Hidden Door Token

Yun Xi couldn't help but feel a little moved when she looked at the twenty books delivered to her.

These books are all gifts from Su Wan this morning, and each one is a unique copy that she has never seen before. They are all written by Su Wan herself, and she even carefully copied some useful annotations.Every time you take it out, even if it sells for tens of thousands of taels, someone is willing to buy it.Many aristocratic families treasured this kind of unique copy, and were unwilling to lend it to others, let alone copy a copy and send it over.

The difference between the aristocratic family and the poor family lies in the accumulation of these foundations.

In Yun Xi's eyes, these books are much more precious than the pot of Tian Yi He she sent over.

If it was any other book, she would definitely print it out and put it in the library, but it was a personal gift from Su Wan - even though she had asked her parents and elders, the Su family might not be willing to release it publicly.

Even if it can't be used in the library, it can be used to fill the study in her home.

While she was in a daze, the sky that was originally covered with dark clouds began to rain heavily.

Yun Xi quickly ordered people to close the windows to prevent rain from accidentally drifting into the house.

Master Yunyao sighed generally, "It's raining, I didn't expect this capital city to be hotter than ours."

Fenghuang County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are no more people than the capital, so it is naturally not so hot.During this scorching heat, Yun Xi didn't want to go out at all, as long as she walked outside for a quarter of an hour, she would definitely sweat profusely.

She smiled, "We have an ice basin at home, so even if it's hot, it's limited." As the head of the county, she still has an allowance for ice cubes, and there are quite a few of them.Since she submitted the ice-making method last year, Chu Xiyuan has built an ice-making factory.

After the ice factory came out, it was a profitable industry.While adding money to the national treasury, Chu Xiyuan did not forget to distribute welfare.This year's serving of ice cubes for each grade is directly twice that of last year.Some elderly officials even received three or four times the quota, and Chu Xiyuan's move also won the hearts of many people.Those who have benefited will inevitably shout out your majesty's benevolence.

Because of the delivery of ice, it somewhat diluted the discussion that the two daughters of the Su family brought to different princes.

Everyone turned their attention to which one received more ice cubes.

As for Yun Xi, she not only received several carts of ice cubes, but also a lot of saltpeter that can be used to make ice.The saltpeter was enough for her to open a shop and start a business, and it was beyond the obvious, and no one dared to find fault with it.Those who are interested will know after a little inquiring that the method of making ice was contributed by Yun Xi.

Because of the weather in the capital, her cold drink shop became very popular once it was launched.In the hot summer, it would be so beautiful if we could serve roast jelly grass, iced sour plum soup, fruit ice...

Yun Xi bought the shop at that time and spent a total of 5000 taels of silver. Now it seems that it will only take more than a month to pay back.As for the hot pot restaurant next door, she specially placed a lot of ice basins in the house, and eating ice hot pot in a cool room has a special flavor.

The hot pot restaurant is also scheduled to be scheduled for ten days later.

For these two shops, the purchase and decoration cost Yun Xi 2 taels of silver.However, judging from the monthly income, this money is still worth the money.

Even the history paper and water pattern paper launched by the paper shop are also highly sought after by literati. Considering that people in the capital have a lot of money and strong purchasing power, Yunxi is no longer like Chuzhou. A branch only sells for 12 knives a month Paper, the quantity increased to [-] knives, and the price became [-] taels of silver a knives.Even so, the quality of these two kinds of paper is placed there, and there are many rich and arty people in the capital, which still seems to be in short supply.

Because of these three stores, Yunxi also made a big splash in the capital.Even those who don't like her have to admit in their hearts that Yun Xi is indeed very good at doing business, and these three stores are golden hens that keep laying golden eggs.

Yun Yao and Du Zhou's originally wanted to open a store in the capital, but when they saw the cost of opening a store, they were shocked.Du Zhou's vision is not as short-sighted as in the past. She feels that if she wants to open a store, she must open it bigger. Such small troubles are so boring.So she and her husband Du Yifu planned to open a large incense shop after saving some money.

Du Zhou's family has saved at least tens of thousands of taels of silver over the years. The reason why they don't have enough money to open a shop is mainly because they bought fields and villages in the suburbs of Beijing.The mushrooms are mainly cultivated in Zhuangzi, and the scale is many times larger than the mushroom house in Fenghuang County.

After the Du family moved to the capital, they brought those mushrooms with them, including Hericium erinaceus, which are very popular and expensive.Du Yifu has never been idle since he came to the capital for more than a month, basically contacting every restaurant.But Du Yifu is also smart, and asked Yun Shen about the forces behind these restaurants in advance.The restaurants he contacted all belonged to the families of Yun Shen's good friends. Even if they were not good friends, they were at least solid allies.

Otherwise, if you cooperate with the enemy, it will be bad if you are accidentally framed.

The quality of the Du family's mushrooms is over there, as long as word of mouth is opened up, there is really no need to worry about sales.

In fact, it also proved this point. When Du Yifu took his own mushrooms and went to those restaurants, the order came.

Yun Xi calculated, based on the output of Zhuangzi, and the mushrooms in the capital were more expensive than those in Fenghuang County, and the common ones were twice as expensive, not to mention the price of those precious Hericium erinaceus, the price has directly doubled.Calculated in this way, the income of Du's mushroom house is 2000 taels a month.When winter comes, the income will definitely double.

With money in hand, don't panic.

The Du family's monthly expenses, plus the monthly money of the subordinates, plus some human relations, are at most 1000 taels.It's no wonder that Du Yifu and his wife are not in a hurry to open a store.

Yun Xi has already told Du Zhoushi and the others that they don't need their share.Her own few industries earned enough money.

As for Yun Yao, after opening the paper shop, Yun Xi did not forget to put her two novels in the cabinet.The novels were unexpected and sold very well, especially the second one.Everyone is still very surprised by this kind of drama of white hair overnight, and everyone has never seen such a story with a female devil as the protagonist.

All of a sudden, even the pseudonym Lian Nishang became popular, sparking a discussion in the capital.

It's a pity that they dug three feet into the ground, but they couldn't dig out who this Lian Nishang was.However, most people tend to think that she must be a heroine who walks in the rivers and lakes. After all, she writes the details of those martial arts exercises with ease.

Yun Yao, who was hiding behind her back, was counting the monthly money and giggling over there.From the income of the two novels alone, she has a profit of several hundred taels a month, so she is naturally in a happy mood.

……

When the time was unhurriedly entering the end of June, Yun Xi and Yun Shen discussed and decided on Xiao Ding's date, which would be July [-]th.

Originally, the days Qin Tianjian had chosen for the two of them were between April and June.But unable to keep up with the changes in the plan, Yun Xi suddenly decided to go to Beijing, and just after entering Beijing, she was busy building her own power and opening a shop to make money.

It wasn't until the end of June that I had free time, and I could finally discuss the time for the next hire.

On the other hand, it is also because after two months, the flowers and plants she planted have grown up, lush and lush, no longer as bare as before, full of flowers, even if you invite guests to come, there is still a scenery to enjoy, Doesn't look rude.

The two discussed it—to be precise, it was Yun Xi and Yun Shen who discussed it, and finally set the time on July [-].

After the news was released, everyone couldn't help but focus on the two.

One is the much-loved future prince of the country, and the other is the county head who has never been off the topic list since entering the capital. Their engagement is naturally a major event that attracts attention.

The Du family posted a post, inviting some acquaintances to come over.

In the past two months, Mrs. Du Zhou did not have a simple meal, and she really met some people who walked around. This time, her niece Wen Ding also invited them over.

Dai Yanling came to the capital a long time ago, and she would definitely not miss her friend's engagement.

Speaking of which, after Yanling came to Beijing, there were many people who wanted to match her up, but Mrs. Dai hadn't come to Beijing yet, and Dai Hai kept pushing this problem on his wife, so she had a happy life for a while. .However, Yun Xi had heard that Wen Ziran's grandma, Mrs. Wen, also met Yan Ling, and loved her very much, and even gave her a jadeite bracelet in her hand.

When Yan Ling talked about this with Yun Xi, she didn't think of anything else, she just smiled and said that Mrs. Wen was amiable, loving and peaceful.

Yun Xi was speechless at the time: She obviously came to see his grandson-in-law.

But think about it, Yan Ling is a fool who has a fool.

Because she has only been here for two months, and because she is busy with her career, Yun Xi really doesn't have time to meet too many friends.There are only a handful of people who come and go in the capital.

Yang Yurong was also invited by her, and she happily wrote back that she would come with her mother when the time came.

Su Wan's biological mother died early, so she came here with her second aunt.It is said that her second aunt has taken good care of her since she was a child, and the relationship between the two is not bad.

Because of Wuweizi's care for her, Yun Xi also visited the Su family after arriving in the capital.The wife of the Su family, Su Huang, is also the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, and she is very affectionate to her, so Yun Xi also posted a message to his family, and the reply she got was that she would come together at that time.

Mrs. Wen's health has improved a lot recently, perhaps for Yan Ling's sake, she plans to come over to cheer her on.

These were the guests she personally invited, and the rest were handed over to Mrs. Du Zhou.

After Du Zhou selected some, he finally confirmed that the guests who came to the door could also make up three tables.Moreover, these guests, Wen's family and Su's family, are not ordinary people, and their arrival can be regarded as making the Du family flourish.Although the county lord Yunxi was born in the Du family, their background is too shallow to be considered a first-class family.Because of Yunshen, at most he could barely be ranked in a second-rate industry.It's just that Yun Xi is confident that one day, the Du family will grow into a family that no one can underestimate.

On the menu, the Du family has never been worried.After entering Beijing, they also went to a restaurant that was said to be the most delicious. After eating, they felt that although the taste was not bad, the dishes at Du's were better.

Now the oranges are ripe at this time, which is just the time to promote the signature dish of crab stuffed oranges.

As for the clothes Yun Xi wore that day, Mrs. Du took out the Yuehua brocade sent by the Yang family from the storeroom and made two sets of Yuehua skirts for Yunxi.After wearing it, it looks ethereal and refined, like a fairy of Guanghan Palace walking slowly down from the sky.

Yunyao made Liuxian skirts. This girl has always liked wide-sleeved Liuxian skirts, so she took the opportunity to make two sets for herself.The Du family went up and down, and also cut new clothes.Until now, the Du family has never formally appeared in front of people. This engagement is undoubtedly an opportunity, so naturally it cannot be missed.

The two nuns also grabbed the family members and trained them on the etiquette rules. It would be bad if there was a mistake in front of the guests.

Some of the servants of the Du family were brought from Fenghuang County, and some of them were found by Yun Xi with Yun Shen's help.In this way, the possibility of being bribed and inserted into the eyeliner can be isolated to the greatest extent.

All of a sudden, everyone seems to have high morale, and must face that day with the best mental outlook.

Yun Xi, who was not nervous at first and thought that Wending was just going through the motions, seemed to be infected by them.

On that day, she also displayed all the flowers in her own greenhouse.

These peonies are not the ones that can be seen everywhere outside. A random pot can be sold for tens of thousands of taels, and there is also a pot of black peonies that has only been heard in rumors.

The colorful peonies are surrounded by the black peonies in the middle, and the impact of the picture is not usually strong.The guests who came to Du's house couldn't help but stop in their footsteps, and were full of admiration.

Those who wanted to buy a pot sighed in their hearts when they heard that the five pots of peonies this year had already been sold, and the black peonies were not for sale.

After Yun Xi learned about this from Duo Duo, she couldn't help laughing.

She wants to give the black peony as a gift, so naturally she won't just take it out and sell it, it must be priceless.

Yun Xi's appearance also gave everyone an amazing feeling.

She was originally born beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows, white skin that is better than snow, her eyes shine brightly, and her whole body is not inferior to those daughters of famous families in the capital, even better.

I don't know if it's because of the supernatural ability, but Yun Xi feels that her skin seems to be better. Under the sun, her white and translucent skin looks like the finest white jade.

She like this, wearing a Yuehua skirt, slowly appeared in front of people.The peony behind it, which originally grabbed everyone's attention, has been reduced to the background, and seems to have lost its original aura.

The originally noisy courtyard fell silent, as if time had stopped at this moment.

After a long while, Su Wan's second aunt, Su Han, said to Du Zhou in a friendly and reproachful tone: "You really are, you have to hide such a good child."

There is also a reason why Su Han's family is so close to the Du family.After Su Han married into the Su family, when she was young, because she helped her husband block an assassination and injured her body, she was never pregnant.Su Wan was born well since she was a child, well-behaved and lovely, Su Han naturally loved her as a daughter, her existence more or less made up for Su Wan's lack of maternal love.

Because of Su Wan, the Su Han clan had some contacts with the Du family.

Mrs. Du Zhou felt that Mrs. Su Han had a good character and was someone she could associate with, so he gave her prescriptions for recuperating her body as a gift.After taking it, Su Han's body felt much better. The doctor had seen it and said that she would continue to take care of it, and she might still be pregnant in the future.With that in mind, she became closer to the Du family.

Du Zhoushi was happier when he heard others praise Yunxi than her, but he still said modestly, "It's not as good as you said, but it's just a neater birth."

"If this is only called neat, then we will become burnt papers."

"I see you and your daughter going out, not like mother and daughter, but like sisters."

Everyone, you said a word, I said a word, and after a few words, the atmosphere became lively.

I have to admit that no matter if it was Yun Xi or Yun Yao, the girls from the Du family surprised everyone once.Yunxi is outstanding in appearance, Yunyao is pretty and cute, and Duodu is quiet and pleasant.

Some people vaguely remembered that according to the rumors, the reason why His Majesty bestowed the marriage was that Yun Shen personally went to the palace to ask for an order, and the news that Yun Shen stayed in Fenghuang County for the past few years to recuperate his injuries also spread.Everyone knows the Du family's native place, so if you contact the two sides, the possibility of the rumor will increase a bit.

When the auspicious time was approaching, Yun Xi and the others heard the sound of firecrackers from far and near. It was Yun Shen who came with the bride price.Under normal circumstances, there is still the step of a matchmaker proposing marriage, but Yun Shen and Yun Shen are married by the emperor, which means that the emperor is the matchmaker, so this step is omitted.

As soon as the betrothal gift brought by Yun Shen unfolded, everyone couldn't help being surprised—the betrothal gift was indeed generous enough.

Two live geese are a must, symbolizing sincere affection.These two wild geese were also hunted down by Yun Shen himself.The fruits, cakes, tea, spices and other things needed for the bride price are all selected from the best.

Dazhang, jade, leather, brocade, silk, wine, millet, millet, rice, rice, noodles and other things are laid out to the brim. Although there is no transcendence, it is also the ultimate that Yunshen can achieve as the son of the prince. .

As soon as they saw this, they knew that the Yun family was very satisfied with this marriage.

In addition to these necessary betrothal gifts, what is more eye-catching is the jewelry, silk and satin and other things sent.The stuffed gold and silver heads, gemstone heads, and pearl heads are full of brilliance, making people overwhelmed.The silk and satin are all tributes from the emperor, and there is even a silk that only produces [-] horses a year.Even the king of the county in the capital can only get one or two horses at most.

Everyone looked at the four celestial silks in the box with mixed emotions, and the corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily.This is simply too hateful.

These betrothal gifts alone are worth more than 10 taels, not to mention the five thousand gold dowry, two hot springs.Two hot spring villages are worth at least 2 taels.

After reading the list of betrothal gifts posted, Yun Yao couldn't help but whisper in Yun Xi's ear, "Brother-in-law is really kind to you."

The corners of Yun Xi's lips could not help but twitch, she didn't particularly care about the amount of the dowry.

But such a generous dowry also blatantly showed the world how much he cared about and valued her.

She brought two copies of the list of dowry gifts, and Yun Yao showed one of them to Yun Xi. Yun Xi's eyes fell on the last line of words, on which there were only two words, token.

With a slight movement in her heart, she remembered this small detail.

Generally speaking, at the time of engagement, it is the man's mother who comes to insert hairpins for the future daughter-in-law.But Yun Cao is still under house arrest in the small Buddhist hall, and Yun Shen is even more unwilling to let her appear in front of people, ruining a good engagement.In the end, the old lady of the Su family was chosen to insert the hairpin for Yun Xi.

This Mrs. Su, who is 80 years old this year, is the mother of the Queen Mother and Taoist Priest Wuweizi, and also the guardian of the Su family.

Her arrival undoubtedly stunned everyone present.

Although Mrs. Su is 80 years old, she looks like she is in her 50s at most, and her body is quite strong.

She looked at Yun Xi with loving eyes, rubbed Yun Xi's hand, and smiled gently: "She is such a good girl, she is better than Yun Shen. If I don't have a great-grandson who is similar to your age, I must grab it first Come back and be a great-grandson-in-law."

Several of her great-grandchildren have long been engaged to go out.Although Mrs. Su's words were just a joke, she could see her love for Yun Xi.

Yun Shen still respected such a respectable old lady as Mrs. Su, he smiled slightly and said, "I have a good eye, so I snatched it back first."

Mrs. Su gave him a reproachful look, then took out a white jade hairpin and stuck it in Yun Xi's bun.

The white jade hairpin is carved out of mutton fat white jade, and it is a seamless one. It doesn't look like it was carved, but it looks like it is natural.

After inserting the white jade hairpin, Mrs. Su showed her inadequacy, and took off a whole green jadeite bracelet from her hand, and put a set on Yun Xi's hand.

Yun Xi knew at a glance that this thing was worth a lot, at least at the level of Emperor Green.She subconsciously wanted to decline.

Mrs. Su nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This hairpin really looks good on you, it complements your skin."

After all, it was the old man's wish. Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, but accepted it graciously, and thanked Mrs. Su solemnly.

Mrs. Su's daughter-in-law Su Huang said with a smile: "It can be seen that my mother is eccentric. She usually says she loves me the most, but when she sees a beautiful girl, she forgets about us. It's a pity that I still stick to my mother's usual jokes." Keep it in mind."

Mrs. Su couldn't help laughing, "They all have grandchildren, and they are jealous of their little girls."

Du Zhoushi couldn't help watching this scene, and invited everyone to a banquet.

Rao, who considered himself a well-informed man from the capital, couldn't help being surprised when he saw the dishes being served.

Du Zhou's wholeheartedly wanted to impress others, and the dishes he brought out were all unique to the Du family, delicacies that no one in the capital had ever tasted.The taste is so delicious that people want to swallow it even with their tongues.

Mrs. Su is getting old, and she especially likes the duck muddled dish and lion's head. Some crab roe and crab meat are added to the lion's head, which makes the taste more delicious.

Seeing this, Mrs. Du Zhou felt grateful for Mrs. Su's help today, so she asked someone to write down the recipes of these two dishes and send them to the Su family.

Before the guests left, they even brought the prepared fruit cakes.The pastries were not bought from those time-honored dim sum shops outside, but the Du family's unique cloud cakes, jujube paste and yam cakes...

So after the details of today's engagement got out, everyone was amazed not only by Mrs. Su's arrival in person, the astonishing betrothal gift from the Yun family, but also the delicacies from the Du family.

Yun Xi, Yun Yao and the others undoubtedly made a formal appearance in front of everyone, and won unanimous praise.

However, among them, there are also some people who are furious when they hear these arguments.

For example, Yun Shu, who was still grounded.

When Yun Shu heard the list of betrothal gifts recounted by the maid, she couldn't help but drop a cup on the spot.

She sneered, "Father is so generous, he actually sent so many dowry gifts." I'm afraid that when she gets married, the dowry may not be so much.

The servant girl timidly said: "It is said that these are the prince's own private houses." It is said that many of the jewelry were left by the former Duke's wife.

Even so, Yun Shu was still very upset.Thinking of the dark torture of learning the rules these days, she hated Yun Shen to the extreme.Those nuns were extremely strict with her, and she had to practice for a whole day with just one sitting position.Usually, if something went wrong, she would be slapped severely, or she would be stabbed with a needle.However, these nuns are very good at beating people. She was in extreme pain, but she never left any scars on her body, so she had no choice but to sue.

And all of this was brought about by Yun Shen and Du Yunxi.The nanny was found by Yun Shen, but the initial punishment was because of Liu Weishuang's humiliation.In public, Liu Weishuang was treated lightly by a bum, and his reputation was seriously damaged. If the Yun family didn't punish her, it would be unjustifiable.

Yun Shu has been kept by her mother Yun Cao's side since she was a child, and she is also selfish and vicious in her bones.It has been two months since she was punished, and instead of showing any intention of repenting, she hated Yun Xi even more.

If Du Yunxi was the one who successfully framed her back then, instead of the indomitable Liu Weishuang, she would never have been exposed, let alone be grounded until now.

As if remembering something, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, "Those two hot spring villagers are also betrothal gifts to the Du family?"

There was a dangerous smell in her tone, and the servant girl felt her hairs stand on end, but she still bit the bullet and said, "That's right."

Those who do good things have already passed on the list of betrothal gifts, and the maids have also written them down.

When Yun Shu heard this, he felt that the anger in his chest was burning more intensely. "Father is too partial!"

Those two hot spring villages were bought by the Yun family at a high price this year. She has long thought about them. She plans to go to the hot springs in winter, and by the way, pester her father to put a hot spring village under her name. It can also be used as her dowry.

Hot Spring Zhuangzi has always had a price but no market.Soaking in hot springs in winter is the favorite of many aristocratic families, but there are only a few hot springs. Unless the family is poor and lacks money, ordinary people will not sell the hot springs.

The prince was abolished, causing many families who depended on him to be pulled out of some bad things, and had to sell their family properties to prepare money for activities.Yun Mu quickly snatched two of the hot spring Zhuangzi thrown out.

Perhaps in order to make up for what he owed his son, Yun Mu refused to respond to his daughter's coquettishness and entreaties, and instead recorded both Zhuangzi under Yun Shen's name.

Yun Shen didn't intend to accept it at first, but when he heard that Yun Shu wanted the hot spring village, he nodded and accepted the gift, and then gave it to Yun Xi as a betrothal gift as soon as he changed hands.

What he had been thinking about day and night fell into the hands of people who hated him. Naturally, Yun Shu was furious and dropped a cup again.

The mother who was outside the house heard the noise, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and immediately knocked on the door.

Although she didn't want to open the door, Yun Shu really didn't dare to leave Nanny outside the house, otherwise it would definitely cause another torment.She reluctantly asked her maid to open the door.

The nanny that Yun Shen found looked like a gentle and easy-going kind, but in fact she was serious.Moreover, after Yun Shen gave them special orders, they became more and more strict when they were raised.

The ancient nun glanced at the fragments on the ground, her expression became more severe.

"It can be seen that Miss's teachings these days have been learned in vain, and she doesn't even understand the principle of not showing emotions."

When Yun Shu heard her stern and indifferent words, his body recalled the feeling of being stuck by a needle, and trembled reflexively.She bit her lower lip, no matter how unwilling she was, she still said in a low voice: "This girl is so clumsy that she accidentally dropped the cup, I'll let her clean it right away."

Gu Momo would not be easily fooled by her words, her voice was indifferent: "It seems that there is no need for such a useless maid to stay with Miss. I will choose some good ones for Miss tomorrow."

Yun Shu almost jumped up. Now she is helpless in this mansion. All the maids she had to use before have been cut off and replaced with a group of eyeliners who don't know who it is.The only thing she could barely trust was the agate in her hand.Who knows that now she can't even keep her.

Manao also looked at her with pleading eyes, even if Yun Shu lost power, she was still the eldest lady of the mansion.If she was kicked out, how could she be treated like this now.

Gu Nai smiled and said: "I don't know what Miss will like? Although the old servant is dizzy, he will not find a maid who can't even hold a cup for Miss."

This is clearly a threat.

Yun Shu gritted her teeth, lowered her head, not to let Mammy Gu see the hatred rolling in her eyes, "Everything is up to Mammy's arrangement."

……

The flowers bloomed, and like Yun Shu, Liu Weishuang threw the cup.

In the past, Liu Weishuang was in the capital, although his family background was noble and his appearance was outstanding, he was still overwhelmed by Bai Yiru and Su Wan.After all, Bai Yiru's reputation was completely ruined because of the Peony Festival, and Su Wan was also accused of being married to the third prince as a side concubine, and her reputation gradually faded away.

Originally thought that this was her moment of brilliance, but who knew that Du Yunxi came out and directly pressed on top of her head.Because the two entered Beijing on the same day, and they were both county heads, they were naturally compared with each other.Liu Weishuang's character has always been domineering and domineering, and there are countless people who hate her, and these people will trample on her with Yun Xi desperately.

In terms of appearance, Du Yunxi is no worse than her.In terms of talent, people can figure out movable type printing and salt making methods, and their skills are even convinced by the officials of the imperial court.In terms of family background, although Du Yunxi couldn't compare to her, her county head was obtained by relying on her own ability, and she was also the future wife of the Duke, which more or less made up for her lack of status.In terms of being favored, her title is Ming. After entering the capital, not only was she summoned by the Holy Majesty, she was also rewarded with many gifts.And since she came to Beijing, she has never had the chance to meet Tian Yan.

Du Yunxi was valued by Mrs. Su, so she personally gave her the jade bracelet that she had been wearing for many years.After that, the empress dowager and empress de concubine in the palace also rewarded many good things.

Moreover, Du Yunxi's reputation in Qingliu is very good, and many civil servants praised her for building a library to shelter a large number of students.The few shops she opened even attracted the dignitaries and nobles of the capital.

But as for her, she was famous in the capital because she was treated lightly by the gangsters.For this reason, she even hid at home and did not dare to go out for fear of being ridiculed. If it hadn't been for one big event after another in the past two months, people would not care to discuss her matter, I am afraid Liu Weishuang would continue Become the laughing stock of everyone.

Thinking of this, Liu Weishuang not only cursed Yun Shu over and over, but also cursed Yun Xi along with her.

Why was she the one who was ashamed at that time, not Du Yunxi?Du Yunxi obviously came to Beijing on the same day as her.

She recalled the Yun Shen riding a white horse that she saw during the day, and the more energetic Yun Shen, the hatred in her eyes deepened—why wasn't Yun Shen referring to her as the object of marriage?
At last year's banquet, the moment Yun Shen appeared on the stage, she was already intoxicated by his heavenly appearance and demeanor. Before she could convince her father to marry the Yun family, the intention of marriage was cancelled. all her hopes.

When she was immersed in resentment, the personal servant girl came in and blessed her slightly, "Girl, Princess Roujia has sent you a post."

Liu Weishuang, who originally wanted to get angry, suppressed his anger when he heard the words, and asked, "Go and find out if the Yun family and the Du family have also received the post from Princess Roujia."

Princess Roujia is the precious daughter of the eldest princess. Although the eldest princess is the elder sister of the current emperor, she has never interfered in political affairs. Her daughter is Princess Roujia.

Princess Roujia is the old daughter of the eldest princess, who loves her like a treasure.The princess's greatest hobby is eating, drinking and having fun, and her favorite thing is hunting. When she was born last year, Chu Xiyuan knew that she loved hunting, and even gave her a large paddock.

Every year in September, Princess Roujia posts a post to invite noble ladies and young talents in the capital to participate in hunting.

The one who gets the most prey will also win the lottery.

Those who can be invited must have good family backgrounds. No matter how good the prize is, it is just dispensable. Everyone is mainly aiming at the first name. This is a great opportunity to become famous, and even led to two pairs last year. Happy marriage.

Princess Roujia has a flamboyant personality, and every post is made with great fanfare, so if you want to know who she invited, you just need to ask a little bit.

The maid in pink quickly went out to inquire and came back, and said seriously: "The two girls from the Du family, and the eldest lady from the Yun family, the Princess has invited them."

Liu Weishuang nodded in satisfaction, with a stern look on her face, "There is still a month to go, so I can make a good plan."

If the planning is good, this iron-clad marriage might fall through.Even if it refers to marriage, isn't there a precedent for dissolution?
……

Yun Xi didn't know that there were two people who hated her so much that she hated her so much. She didn't need to care about their thoughts at all.

After seeing off the guests, she sorted out the betrothal gifts.

According to the custom, those pastries and fruits sent also have a bride price, half of which must be returned.Jewelry, cloth, etc. can stay.However, these betrothal gifts are originally the most precious of these two and that hot spring Zhuangzi.

Yun Xi collected Zhuangzi's land deed, and planned to go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot spring when she was free.Going to soak in hot springs in winter is a pleasure in the world.

She didn't forget the so-called token she was most concerned about, and quickly found it from a pile of betrothal gifts.

This token is packed in a golden nanmu box.Open it and look, it is a token that is as black as ink, and Yun Xi can't tell what kind of wood it is.

It just feels creamy to the touch and exudes a faint fragrance.

Two words are engraved on the token: hidden door.

Yun Xi's eyelids twitched, and she unconsciously wanted to grind her teeth.

Now she is not a little girl who just crossed over and doesn't understand anything. She also knows a little about the distribution of power in the world.Of the three major killer organizations in the Jianghu, the Hidden Sect ranks ahead of the Blood Plum Sect.

The Yinmen is as mysterious as its name. No one in the world knows their identities and how to kill them. There is no conclusion.

Even taking out the token, Yun Xi didn't believe that Yun Shen had nothing to do with Yinmen.

Hmph, it's no wonder that Yun Shen knows everything about Jiang Hu like the back of his hand, he's a part of it himself.

Perhaps knowing that she would be angry when she saw this, Yun Shen still went through the window and sneaked into the study that night.

Yun Xi rubbed the token, narrowing her eyes slightly, "Should you explain to me?" At least explain about the hidden door.

Yun Shen rubbed his nose, sat down in front of Yun Xi, and said, "Actually, I am the master of the hidden sect."

Yun Xi said indifferently: "I guessed it."

Yun Shen smiled wryly and said, "The Hidden Gate is not just a power in Jianghu, it is also related to the royal family."

His flawless white face, under the flickering lights, showed a bit of depression and suppressed hatred.

Even when he and Yun Xi were talking about quarreling, Yun Xi had never seen him with this expression.

"The extermination of my maternal ancestor's family was related to the token of this hidden door."

"The token of the hidden door can mobilize all the forces of the hidden door."
