The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 209 Retribution, Silly White Sweet
Chapter 209 Retribution, Silly White Sweet
This Lin Xiongwei, since he was a child, favored Lin Zhi, a low-brow like him. Previously, he wanted to plot Yun Xi to marry Lin Zhi, but in the end, it was planned by Yun Xi. With both legs broken and the third leg broken, he became an eunuch who could only lie on the bed, and couldn't make any waves.
It's just that when Yunxi went back last year, Du Yunxia also said that Lin Xiongwei was in good health, and every day she could scold him with anger for becoming such a young son, Lin Zhi.Why did you leave so suddenly?And it's really bad luck to die in the middle of the first month.
Regarding his death, Yun Xi couldn't feel any sympathy for him.After Lin Xiongwei's death, Du Yunxia, as a daughter-in-law, must have to observe filial piety for 27 months.
Mrs. Du Zhou sighed, "It's fine, why did you just leave? Yunxia is pregnant now, and she has to keep her filial piety. I don't know if her body can hold it or not." Compared with the previous question, Mrs. Du Zhou obviously asked more questions. Care about the eldest daughter."This father-in-law died at an inappropriate time" was written all over his face, without any sadness, which shows how failed Lin Xiongwei is in life.
Among the children in the family, the eldest daughter, Yunxia, suffers the most and enjoys the least glory. Although the hardships are all over now, and life is rich and smooth, it's just that compared with the youngest daughter, Yunyao, who is full of beauty and pets, she is still far behind.Every time Du Zhou thought of her eldest daughter, she always felt sorry for her.
Du Yifu sat down, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then began to speak.
"Isn't Yunxi's Thousand Crane Ointment very effective? Last year, Linde was filial and asked for a bottle of Thousand Crane Ointment to take home."
Yun Xi nodded, because Lin Xiongwei had broken his egg and became a eunuch, Yun Xi felt that even if he healed his leg, there would be no trouble, so he gave Lin De the Qianhe ointment.It's just that Yun Xi didn't want him to be too good, so he also added ingredients to compromise the effect.
"After using Qianhe Ointment, he was able to get out of bed, although he was still limping when he walked." He glanced at the two daughters, coughed, and said vaguely: "Although his legs and feet have improved a lot, he still has a lot of pain." Find medicine everywhere to treat other injuries on your body."
Yun Yao was puzzled and asked: "Is there any wound on his body?"
Yun Xi pretended not to understand, guessing in her mind that Lin Xiongwei was probably looking for medicine to treat his little brother?He really thought too well, the egg was already broken, and it was impossible to treat it.
She blinked, "Probably he suffered some internal injury before."
Um.She believed that Lin Xiongwei must be very hurt inside, referred to as internal injury.
Du Zhou gave Yun Yao a reproachful look, "Listen carefully to your father, I was interrupted." She couldn't explain this question to her daughter, so she could only vaguely explain it.
Yunyao decided in her heart to ask her sister this question later, but she put on a cute face.
Du Yifu said: "That Lin Zhi was expelled from the Lin family earlier, and seeing that Ade's family business is getting better and better, he wanted to join him again. It's just that his mother-in-law didn't want to talk to him, and drove him out every time he came to the door. Lin Zhi So he could only go the way of his in-laws. He didn’t know where to find a pair of medicine, and told his in-laws that after taking it, he would be able to recover. His in-laws also promised him that if he really recovered, he would be rehabilitated. Recognize it."
Du Yifu sighed and said: "Who knew that after taking the medicine, he kept shouting hot, and died suddenly within half a day."
Du Zhou took a deep breath, "That means the father-in-law was killed by his own son?"
Du Yifu nodded, "Whether Lin Zhi was intentional or not, it is a fact that he killed his father, so he was thrown into prison. Before I left, he had already been executed."
For a while, everyone fell silent, not knowing what to say.It's ridiculous to say that Lin Xiongwei spoiled Lin Zhi so much back then, but he probably didn't expect that he would die at the hands of his most beloved son in the end.A drink and a peck, all have a fixed number.
After a while, Du Yifu spoke again: "Although Yunxia couldn't come here by herself, she asked me to bring you a make-up gift."
Yun Xi said: "Big sister's health is critical now, I don't know how she is now?"
Du Yifu said: "My mother-in-law treats her very well, although because of filial piety, she can't eat meat and fish, but I think my mother-in-law changes ways to make good food for her every day."
Du Zhou nodded in agreement, "Yunxia is lucky to have such a mother-in-law."
Du Zhou's relationship with Lin Sun's is very good, and she felt that Lin Xiongwei's death was a relief to Lin Sun's.It's just that such words can only be thought in the heart, not spoken.
Yun Xi took a look at the make-up ceremony prepared by her elder sister, they were all silk and exquisite jewelry.Although the things are not as good as what Yun Xi usually wears, it is obvious that Yun Xia spent a lot of effort to get them. After all, the Lin family is not as rich as the Du family.
Seeing that everyone's emotions were not particularly high, Du Yifu racked his brains to describe the wedding of Lai San and A Yu, so as to make everyone feel happy.It's just that his language ability is over there, no matter how lively the scene is, he speaks dryly.
Ayu's adoptive mother, Sister-in-Law Tang, couldn't listen any longer, so she took up the conversation and told everyone about Ayu and Lai San's wedding, and she was very satisfied with the wedding in words.
……
"How is it?" Lu Yiran's tone was quite triumphant.
Yun Xi looked at the women's army of at least 100 people in front of her, and looked at her in surprise, "When did you start forming?"
Lu Yiran was in high spirits: "I've been working on this since I came back from Changming Mountain." She paused, and continued: "I've decided, I will be a female general like Yang Bamei!"
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, and she said, "Being a female general is not such a simple matter, dispatching troops, arranging troops... You can't be ambiguous about everything."
Lu Yiran put away her cynical smile and became serious, "I know all of this." She sighed and said, "I've been reading military books for the past few days."
As a friend, Yun Xi can only encourage her, "Then don't be enthusiastic for three minutes."
Lu Yiran nodded, "That's for sure."
Then he happily told Yun Xi the story of the female general of the Yang family.
"Can't you really let me meet Mr. Lian?"
Every time Yiran tries to get the true identity of "Lian Nishang" from her.
Yun Xi shook her head and said, "No."
When Yunyao's strength is completely worthy of the pseudonym Lian Nishang, maybe she will make it public.To Yunyao, revealing her identity too early is tantamount to putting her in front of others, which is not a good thing.
Yiran snorted, "Forget it, I can find it myself."
She glanced at Yun Xi and said, "Don't worry, even if I find out, I won't tell anyone."
Yun Xi also believed that Yiran would not do this.
Then Yiran looked at Yun Xi seriously, "I suspect that Ji Zhizhi already has a clue. Remember to help Mr. Nishang cover up your identity." Only when others can't find it is reconciled.
Ji Zhizhi is General Ji's favorite little grandson, and he is also a well-known fan of Lian Nishang.When Yun Xi went to Tianxiang Tower before, he had quarreled with others because of the practice of neon clothes.The Du family and the Ji family have a good relationship because of the friendship of sending Qianhe ointment.
Yun Xi was startled, and her brows could not help but wrinkled - although Ji Zhizhi was a nice person, she still didn't want him to find out Yun Yao's identity.
She calmed down and gave Lu Yiran a glance, "I think you are unbalanced, and he is almost found, so you have to add trouble to him."
Lu Yiran admitted this without any pressure, "That's right, why did he find the clue when I didn't find it? Hmph, I won't lose to him when it comes to worshiping Mr. Nishang. When Mr. Nishang The work was published, and I didn’t buy a hundred copies.”
It is because of Lu Yiran's big-spending customers that Yun Xi can't sell enough every time she prints more.It's all thanks to Lu Yiran and other fans that Yun Yao will become a little rich woman so quickly.
Yun Xi said: "I don't think it's that easy to find him." Every time after Yun Yao finished writing, Yun Xi would find someone else to copy it again before sending it to the printing workshop. The person who copied it was different every time .As for the original manuscripts, they are all locked in her cabinet.
"By the way, Deng Changming, you should know him, right?"
Yun Xi nodded, "What happened to him?" After the complete downfall of the Deng family, only Deng Changming was saved and separated because of his father.
Lu Yiran said: "He is also a capable person." There was a lot of praise in his tone.
The rest refused to say more.
Yun Xi was very curious about what Deng Changming had done, so after returning home, she asked Li Qiu to investigate, and she was considered an acquaintance anyway.
Li Qiu took advantage of the influence of Wanshiwu to go out to inquire about it, and then told her, "This young master of the Deng family seems to be planning to open a shop recently."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, "What shop?" She heard Yun Shen mention something about Deng Changming earlier, saying that His Majesty originally planned to introduce a new salt to Deng Changming, but Deng Changming refused.After that, Deng Changming disappeared for a long time, and did not reappear in front of people until last year.
Li Qiu said: "It is said that they sell rare treasures from other countries, including overseas, and they will open on February 20th."
A few days after Yun Xi investigated Deng Changming, she received a post from Deng Changming. To be precise, this post was for her and Yun Yao.
The post invited her and Yunyao to attend the store's opening ceremony, and it was sent along with the post, as well as a gift prepared by Deng Changming.
The gifts are mainly spices and pens and inks.The spices are very rare and expensive in Dachu, and they should be purchased from countries in the Western Regions.The pen and ink are designated for Yunyao. Yunyao tried to hold the pen and found that it is very easy to write. No matter the length or thickness, there is no dissatisfaction at all. It is obviously tailor-made for her.
Perhaps it was because of the communication with Lu Yiran before, Yun Xi immediately thought of the identity leak, and couldn't help asking Yun Yao: "Tell me, Deng Changming didn't realize that you are just practicing neon clothes, right?"
Everyone in the capital knows that Yunyao likes to wield knives and swords, and she gets headaches when she reads books. On Yunyao's birthday every year, no one will give her pens and inks as gifts, usually jewelry and purses.
Yun Yao was startled, and her tone was a little uncertain, "I don't think I know?" Her identity was kept so well that not many people in the Du family knew about it, except for her sister and Duo Duo, who were the few around her. The maid knows.These maids are very tight-lipped, and they are careful to cover her up on weekdays, so that there may be no rumors about it.Didn't see Lu Yiran as the princess, but still couldn't find her?
She clapped her hands and said, "It doesn't matter so much, even if he knows, I won't admit it then."
Yun Xi nodded, even if Deng Changming found out, she didn't think it was a problem, and Deng Changming was not the kind of person who leaked his mouth.
Before the arrival of NO.20, she received an unpleasant message.
Then Xie Xinshu was released from Xiyuan because of her pregnancy. Although she was still a Tongfang, her treatment was much better.
Yun Xi can only say that Xie Xinshu's luck is really not so good, and the pregnancy thing broke out at this time.Although she hated Xie Xinshu's behavior, Yun Xi would not take action against the life in her stomach at will, unless she provoked her again.
Yun Shen had indeed fulfilled his promise - ever since Xie Xinshu came out of Xiyuan, he never went back to Yun's house.
In the past, I would go back once every ten days.
As a result, Yun Mu had no choice but to send Xie Xinshu back to Xiaozhuangzi, just waiting for the birth of the child.Yun Mu is almost forty this year, and now he is about to have an extra child, even if he is a little displeased with Xie Xinshu's previous calculations psychologically, but the child is innocent after all, so Xie Xinshu still has good arrangements.
After Yun Xi learned of this, she felt that it was too much of a coincidence.She didn't know if it was her psychological effect, but she felt that Xie Xinshu's appearance was not as simple as she imagined.
She had the same life experience as Meng Zhiyun, she was also exterminated, and also because she escaped.Some similar facial features, and deliberately imitated clothes... Yun Xi really didn't believe that there was no one behind her.
After Xie Xinshu became Yunmu's noble concubine, no one from her surviving grandfather's family came to visit her. This is also a strange thing.
I believe that Yun Shen also had the same idea as her, that's why he asked people to investigate the matter of Xie's family.
……
The time has come to February [-] without any haste.
Yun Xi got up from bed early in the morning.
Yin Dan asked: "Miss, do you want to wear that cloud silk cloak when you go out today?"
Yun Xi glanced out the window and said, "No need, the weather has turned hot these days, the sun has come out, so it's hot to wear."
Some time ago, the winter snow melted, and the weather was so cold.Anyone who has studied chemistry knows that when snow melts, it absorbs heat and lowers the temperature.The two children in the family, Du Lei and Du Rui, also caught a cold because of this, and their little faces became thinner after drinking the medicine.
Yin Dan said: "I'll take it out and put it in the carriage." Just in case, after all, the weather this month is erratic, maybe after going out for a while, the cold wind starts blowing again.
Yun Xi nodded dispensably.
After breakfast, she, Yun Yao and Duo Duo set off for Baiwei Zhai.Deng Changming must have tasted all the flavors of life.
This Baiweizhai is located in the busiest neighborhood, and this one alone occupies a three-story restaurant.Looking at the area and size, not counting the decoration and cost, it is impossible to buy this land without 5 taels.Yun Xi opened a shop before, but she didn't directly choose expensive locations like him.It's understandable when you think about it. Deng Changming was born in the richest salt merchant's family, and he was a scheming person. During those years lurking at home, he must have withdrawn money from the account.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she heard someone next to her whispering about the Baiweizhai.
"This Deng's family has just arrived and spent a lot of money to open this store. Are you really not afraid of being watched?"
In the capital, which big shop is not backed by dignitaries and nobles, otherwise it can't be kept.For example, Du Yifu and the others have never found fault with their Chuan Chuan Xiang, and it is also because Yun Xi, the princess, is behind them.
Another person said: "What do you know! The one supporting Deng Changming is Princess Duanchang."
The man was silent for a while, and his tone was a bit sour, "Deng Changming is really lucky. I don't know how many rich businessmen in the capital want to get Princess Duanchang but they can't. He has settled in a shabby household, but he can get the princess's favor."
"Hey, I heard that Deng Changming is handsome, you know." Then there was the comprehending obscene look between the men.
Although Princess Duanchang is over forty years old, she still has a charming charm, and the family has raised a lot of face heads.
Yunxi, Yunyao, and Dodo are all sharp and sharp because of their martial arts practice. Although these people think they have lowered their voices, they still hear their conversation clearly.
Yun Yao's eyebrows were tightly frowned, she looked unhappy, she sneered, "A man's jealous face is really ugly."
She had been with Deng Changming for a while, and she knew in her heart that he seemed gentle and weak in Deng's family, but in fact he was decisive and arrogant. It's no wonder that such a person would become someone else's servant.
Those two were flushed red by Yun Yao's sarcasm, one of them was about to say something, but was stopped by his companion, and pointed to the carriage behind Yun Xi - this was the princess's carriage.
The two who thought they couldn't afford to offend the princess immediately left silently.
Yun Xi looked at Yun Yao with a smile in her eyes, "Don't you hate Deng Changming?"
Yun Yao curled her lips, "It's two different things." And to be honest, it's been so long since the incident, she really didn't have to say anything annoying, otherwise she wouldn't have come here with her sister.
The three of them walked into the Baiweizhai with their maid, and Yun Xi was surprised to find that there were quite a few people invited here today.On the one hand, it was for the sake of Princess Duanchang behind her, and on the other hand, it was Deng Changming's own ability.
Deng Changming is tall and tall, wearing a royal blue double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown, the skirt and cuffs are patterned with auspicious clouds with silver silk threads, the texture of the clothes is very good, a piece of simple black jade hangs around his waist, and his hair is simple Bunched and tied casually with a ribbon.The whole person does not look like a businessman, on the contrary, he looks like a student who just came out of the academy, with a sense of elegance.Perhaps because he has experienced a lot of things in the world, he has a temperament that is different from his peers, like a jar of fine wine, the more you touch it, the more mellow it will be.
Yun Xi noticed that some girls couldn't help showing admiration.She looked around and had to admit that a lot of thought has been put into this store. From the decoration point of view, there are styles of each country, there are many types, but they are very harmonious, not messy at all, and they match each other. Yingzhang.
Grassland, Nanling, Northern Wei Dynasty, Qing Dynasty...these three floors are filled with items from at least 20 countries, among which there are several countries that Yunxi has never heard of before.It can be seen that Deng Changming's experience in the past few years is very rich.
The price is marked on the front of each item, and the store even posts the announcement directly without bargaining.The cheapest thing costs ten taels of silver, and the most expensive thing is even worth 10 taels of silver.Yun Xi saw a statue of Avalokitesvara carved out of obsidian. Avalokitesvara looked at the public with compassionate eyes.
On the spot, there was a woman who directly bought the Avalokitesvara statue.
Li Qiu said in a low voice: "That is Li Shi, the wife of the director of the clan's mansion. Her eldest daughter-in-law is also her natal niece. She has been married to Li's family for many years and has not conceived for a long time. It is probably bought for her."
Yun Xi took a look and found that there were quite a lot of Buddha statues, most of which came in from the Northern Wei Dynasty.The Northern Wei Dynasty worshiped Buddhism from top to bottom. Unlike Dachu, where Buddhism and Taoism are divided equally, the temples there are also said to be very effective. The three most famous temples in the world all came from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Deng Changming's Buddha statues were all consecrated from there, and there were even scriptures handwritten by the abbot there. It's no wonder that these women bought them without blinking.Deng Changming is indeed very good at doing business.He finds out exactly what everyone's heart desires.
Yun Xi took her two younger sisters for a walk. Even she couldn't help but feel her heart beat when she saw many things here, and she had a desire to buy them just around the corner.For example, the kind of satin that is lighter and thinner than yarn, but has a silk texture and is not see-through at all, such as the sky silk that Yunshen gave her before, and even a piece of thousand-year-old cold iron.
I don't know where Deng Changming found these things, but after looking at the prices, Yun Xi still gave up. The cheapest ones start at 2 taels.She originally thought she was quite rich, but in January she sold five more potted flowers and got 20 taels of silver.But if she really asked her to spend 2 taels to buy these things, Yun Xi couldn't bear it after all.
Yun Yao was the same, whispering to her in a low voice: "Seeing the things here, I feel so poor."
Duo Duo nodded with sympathy, and then looked at those aristocrats beside him who took out money to buy without blinking, and felt that the difference between people is really not ordinary.
"If you have something you like, for the sake of our acquaintance, I can give you the cost price."
Deng Changming's gentle voice sounded.
Yun Yao turned her head to look at him, then pointed to a box with three characters written on the bottom of the box - Peacock Ling.Peacock Feather and Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle are both known as the king of hidden weapons.The price tag below the peacock feather says 5000 taels. The 5000 taels of peacock feathers can only be used once.
However, for some rich people, spending 5000 taels to provide an extra layer of protection for their lives is not expensive at all.That's because the people who came here today are basically high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. Those who have never been in the rivers and lakes don't know the value of peacock feathers, so they let him eat the dust there.
Deng Changming said a number by the side of Yunyao, Yunyao's eyes widened, the round eyes were full of shock, like a little squirrel, it looked extraordinarily agile and cute.After a while, she asked angrily, "Is there such a big difference between the cost price and the selling price of the things on your side?"
Yun Yao subconsciously lowered her voice so that no one could hear her.
Deng Changming just smiled without saying a word. In Yun Yao's eyes, this gesture was clearly acquiescing.
Yun Yao looked even more upset.
"Then I'll take this." For Yun Yao, who longed for the Jianghu, the legendary hidden weapon like Peacock Ling held an extraordinary place in her heart.She also didn't want to take advantage of others, and said: "I have a wood carving carved by Master Chaoming himself. My future brother-in-law and sister said yes, and it is worth at least 1 taels. I will exchange that wood carving with you for two boxes of peacock feathers later." .”
Yun Xi couldn't help but nodded when she heard Yun Yao's words.Yun Yao's temperament is very good, if she is an ordinary person, she heard that she can take advantage of the goods, she would have directly agreed to it.
Deng Changming shook his head and said, "No need, in fact, you have already paid the money before."
Then he took out a copper coin from his pocket. Compared with ordinary copper coins, there was nothing special about this copper coin.
Yun Yao looked at it for a long time and couldn't see why.
Deng Changming smiled slightly, "At the poetry competition, our Ms. Du's vote is worth a thousand gold." Then he put away the copper coins again, and told the workers in the store, "Wrap this peacock feather."
Yun Yao always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell the reason.Yun Xi took her hand and said, "Okay, you just accept it, anyway, we won't lose him when the time comes."
Big deal, she'll build a weapon for Deng Changming herself when the time comes.Yun Shen once said that the weapons she personally built could be sold for a lot of money in the world.Last year, Yunxi built almost three of them and handed them over to Yunshen. As expected, they got 5 taels.
Yun Yao listened to Yun Xi's words the most, and only accepted the gift after hearing these words.
The smile in Deng Changming's eyes deepened.
After Yun Yao took over Peacock Ling, she couldn't wait to play with it.The outside of Peacock Ling is very simple and low-key. It looks like a small black iron bucket with a few buttons on it.
Seeing that her finger was about to move towards the button, Deng Changming's expression changed, and he quickly pressed her wrist to prevent her from acting rashly, "Be careful, if you press it, everyone in this room will die."
The corner of Yunyao's mouth curled into a playful smile, "Who would really press it down, just to scare you. You are so timid."
It seemed that she was especially happy to discover Deng Changming's new side, and the corners of her eyes and brows were full of joy.
Deng Changming was a little speechless.
Yun Xi also couldn't help laughing, thanks to Deng Changming's calm appearance in front of others, he always failed in front of Yun Yao.Yun Yao put the Peacock Ling back into the box, and prepared to study it slowly after returning home.
Deng Changming coughed, and said: "I'm going to entertain other guests, you can take your time, and just tell me if you want anything." His eyes fell on Yun Xi, and he added: "The same is true of Princess Ming. "
Yun Xi joked, "I'm just passing by."
Tsk, so-and-so is really not an ordinary eccentric.She had already discovered that the gifts that Deng Changming sent to Du's house on weekdays were basically aimed at Yun Yao's own preferences.Looking at his younger sister again, she still looked heartless.
After Deng Changming went downstairs, they continued to wander around the third floor.
Yun Yao didn't forget to complain to Yun Xi in a low voice, "Sister, you don't know, he has a black heart. He only paid 50 taels for this peacock feather when he received it, and sold it for 5000 taels as soon as he changed hands. I don't know which prodigal son it is." , The king of squandering hidden weapons like this."
"I see that there is almost such a gap between the purchase price and the sale price of other things in this store, which makes me want to open a store like this."
Yun Xi smiled slightly, "You only see his appearance on the surface, but you don't see the hard work he has put in. To buy things from all over the world, I don't know how many contacts and money are needed to open channels. These costs far exceed the price of the item itself.”
This Baiweizhai is deeper than she imagined. When she goes back, she'd better ask Yun Shen about it.Yun Xi always felt that Princess Duanchang alone might not have such energy.
Yun Yao tilted her head, "It seems that he is quite capable. Well, he is not much worse than me."
"Sister Du, Sister Yunyao." The youth's refreshing greeting sounded from behind, Yun Xi turned her head, only to find that it was Ji Zhizhi who was greeting them.To Yun Xi's great surprise, Ji Zhizhi was accompanied by a girl about sixteen years old. The girl looked pretty and looked familiar, but for a while, she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
She felt that if General Ji saw this scene, he would probably be very relieved. His precious grandson was finally enlightened.
The girl met Yun Xi's eyes, and immediately dodged away, looking down at the floor in front of her.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "So far, who is this?"
Ji Zhizhi was about to say something, but the girl beside her grabbed his sleeve, Ji Zhizhi was a little embarrassed but also a little happy and said, "This is Mr. Fu."
With a title of Mr., you can tell that Ji Zhizhi respects her very much.Yun Xi couldn't help being very surprised. Could it be possible that the girl in front of her has something extraordinary that makes Ji Zhi Zhi honor her as Mr.
The girl blessed her body slightly, and said: "Minister Fu Wanyi." Then she didn't speak.
Ji Zhizhi coughed and asked, "Sister Yunxi, I want to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone worthy of Mr. Fu, why don't you help me choose?"
Because the two families have a good relationship, Ji Zhizhi and Yunxi sisters are very familiar with each other, so there is not much politeness between them.
Yun Xi said: "For the best brushes, inks, papers and inkstones, just go to Shenpu to buy them." Shenpu is the most famous shop in the capital, specializing in selling pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
Ji Zhi said: "Those are just vulgar things, they are not suitable for Mr. Fu to use. I heard that the things in this Baiweizhai are quite good, so I came here specially."
Yun Yao smiled and said, "What's the benefit if we pick it for you?" She clapped her hands and said, "Ah, yes, there's also a hush money, otherwise I'll tell Sister Ziqing about it. I'll tell her , you will have a girl you like by sneaking around." Ji Ziqing is Ji Zhizhi's direct sister.
An embarrassing expression appeared on Ji Zhizhi's face, "Sister Yunyao, it's not what you think." Fu Wanyi beside him had a tinge of pink on her cheeks, her voice was thin and weak, with a touch of joy in her shyness, "You guys really misunderstood, Mr. Ji and I really have nothing to do."
Ji Zhizhi nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's really nothing."
Yun Xi saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and Jiyue was full of beauty, and he did not seem to be attracted to Fu Wanyi, so she was puzzled: If you don't like her, why would you want to give her expensive things?
and……
Her eyes fell on Fu Wanyi, she didn't like this girl very much.Under normal circumstances, if a nobleman wants to give him a gift, he should refuse it, but from the beginning to the end, this Miss Fu has a tacit attitude.
Ji Zhizhi is Yunyao's little fan, he can be said to be a child at heart, and Yun Xi doesn't want him to be tricked into being taken advantage of.She casually pointed to a Zihao pen next to her, "This one is very good, I think you can buy this."
This Zihao pen is already the cheapest pen in Baiweizhai, but it is relatively cheap.A pen costs 400 taels of silver.
Fu Wanyi, who was still silent just now, said, "I see a Fengshu pen on the second floor, but I don't know how that pen compares to the Fengshu pen?"
Yun Xi remembered that the Fengshu pen was sold for 2000 taels of silver, and looked at Fu Wanyi with meaningful eyes - this person has quite a big appetite.After returning home, she must have a good communication with Ji Ziqing. If Ji Ziqing's younger brother finds out that her stupid brother has been scammed, she will definitely explode.
Ji Zhizhi, the big guy, didn't have the slightest sense of being tricked, and asked over there, "Yeah, would the Fengshu pen be better?"
Yun Xi said: "Although the Fengshu pen is good, the characters written are correct and powerful, but after a long time of use, the wrists are prone to soreness. I think Miss Fu has no strength to restrain the chicken, and the Zihao pen is more suitable for girls to write."
Ji Zhizhi nodded, "Then I'll just buy this Zihao pen."
After buying a pen, Ji Zhi still wanted to continue buying inkstones. At this time, Yun Xi felt that the high price of Baiweizhai was not without harm.She said directly: "So far, have you brought enough money before you go out? I think the cheapest inkstone in this house costs 1000 taels."
Take out an inkstone here, which is used by famous people, and the price is not cheap.
Ji Zhizhi patted himself on the head and said, "I only brought 600 taels today, so I'd better come back tomorrow."
Yun Xi silently decided in her heart, let Deng Changming temporarily remove the inkstone from the shop for a few days later.
Fu Wanyi watched quietly as Ji Zhizhi bought her a Zihao pen.After accepting this gift, he thanked Jizhi softly.
Yun Xi hated her even more. Seeing how Ji Zhizhi and Fu Wanyi got along, they were not considered acquaintances, but unfamiliar, but Fu Wanyi could watch Ji Zhizhi buy her things with peace of mind.
Yun Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and asked directly, "So far, how did you meet Miss Fu?"
Although Ji Zhizhi is a year or two older than Yunyao, perhaps because Ji Zhizhi is her fan, Yunyao always unconsciously treats him like a younger brother.Seeing my younger brother being tricked, I was naturally upset.
Ji Zhizhi kept silent about it, "I promised Mr. Fu that I would keep it a secret."
His tone was filled with joy and pride, as if keeping this secret would make him happy.
Fu Wanyi pursed her lips, looking a little nervous and flustered.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows - why is she panicking?
She said slowly: "I always feel that I have seen Miss Fu somewhere, I wonder if Miss Fu has the same feeling?"
Ji Zhizhi blurted out, "Maybe you two have been friends for a long time."
Yun Xi was thoughtful, did Ji Zhizhi confirm that she and Fu Wanyi had met before?
But Fu Wanyi suddenly said: "I should go back, if I go home late, my brother will be worried."
Ji Zhizhi immediately said: "I'll take you back, it's not safe for you as a girl."
A look of joy flashed in Fu Wanyi's eyes, but she still pretended to be reserved, "Then I will trouble you."
After the two of them left, Yun Yao said: "Ji Zhizhi won't be coaxed by charlatans again, right?"
Yun Xi said: "Don't worry, with his identity, even if he is cheated, someone will help him find the place." The Ji family will not let Ji Zhizhi suffer.
They have almost finished shopping in Baiweizhai, and when they look at the store, they feel that there are more and more people, so they lose the interest to continue looking.Before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Deng Changming to hold Ji back.
"If he wants to buy anything, no matter what, you say it has been ordered, don't sell it to him."
Unexpectedly, Deng Changming nodded and agreed, and Yun Xi went home with peace of mind.
After dinner, Yun Xi took out a pen and paper, and was going to write a post to Ji Ziqing, inviting her to come over in the next two days, and let the Ji family pay attention to Ji Zhizhi's friendship status.As a result, she hadn't finished writing the post yet, the concierge had already come to inform her that Ji Ziqing was here.
Yun Xi put down her pen, "Ask her to come in."
A moment later, Ji Ziqing appeared in front of her with an angry face, "Yun Xi, where is the Lian Nishang?"
Yun Xi was startled, then shook her head, "As I said, I have to keep her a secret, how can I expose her identity at will."
Ji Ziqing exploded like a powder barrel, "Secret! That kind of person, why are you keeping secrets for her? I used to like her works so much, but I didn't expect her character to be so low. To deceive my simple brother."
Speaking of the latter, Ji Ziqing couldn't help gnashing her teeth.Yun Xi had no doubt that if Lian Nishang appeared in front of her, Miss Ji would definitely throw a whip in her face.
Yun Xi was stunned, Lian Nishang was Yun Yao, Ji Ziqing meant that Yun Yao cheated Ji Zhizhi?When did this happen, why didn't she know?
Authentic silly white sweet, not sweet, no money 【Hello】
(End of this chapter)
This Lin Xiongwei, since he was a child, favored Lin Zhi, a low-brow like him. Previously, he wanted to plot Yun Xi to marry Lin Zhi, but in the end, it was planned by Yun Xi. With both legs broken and the third leg broken, he became an eunuch who could only lie on the bed, and couldn't make any waves.
It's just that when Yunxi went back last year, Du Yunxia also said that Lin Xiongwei was in good health, and every day she could scold him with anger for becoming such a young son, Lin Zhi.Why did you leave so suddenly?And it's really bad luck to die in the middle of the first month.
Regarding his death, Yun Xi couldn't feel any sympathy for him.After Lin Xiongwei's death, Du Yunxia, as a daughter-in-law, must have to observe filial piety for 27 months.
Mrs. Du Zhou sighed, "It's fine, why did you just leave? Yunxia is pregnant now, and she has to keep her filial piety. I don't know if her body can hold it or not." Compared with the previous question, Mrs. Du Zhou obviously asked more questions. Care about the eldest daughter."This father-in-law died at an inappropriate time" was written all over his face, without any sadness, which shows how failed Lin Xiongwei is in life.
Among the children in the family, the eldest daughter, Yunxia, suffers the most and enjoys the least glory. Although the hardships are all over now, and life is rich and smooth, it's just that compared with the youngest daughter, Yunyao, who is full of beauty and pets, she is still far behind.Every time Du Zhou thought of her eldest daughter, she always felt sorry for her.
Du Yifu sat down, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then began to speak.
"Isn't Yunxi's Thousand Crane Ointment very effective? Last year, Linde was filial and asked for a bottle of Thousand Crane Ointment to take home."
Yun Xi nodded, because Lin Xiongwei had broken his egg and became a eunuch, Yun Xi felt that even if he healed his leg, there would be no trouble, so he gave Lin De the Qianhe ointment.It's just that Yun Xi didn't want him to be too good, so he also added ingredients to compromise the effect.
"After using Qianhe Ointment, he was able to get out of bed, although he was still limping when he walked." He glanced at the two daughters, coughed, and said vaguely: "Although his legs and feet have improved a lot, he still has a lot of pain." Find medicine everywhere to treat other injuries on your body."
Yun Yao was puzzled and asked: "Is there any wound on his body?"
Yun Xi pretended not to understand, guessing in her mind that Lin Xiongwei was probably looking for medicine to treat his little brother?He really thought too well, the egg was already broken, and it was impossible to treat it.
She blinked, "Probably he suffered some internal injury before."
Um.She believed that Lin Xiongwei must be very hurt inside, referred to as internal injury.
Du Zhou gave Yun Yao a reproachful look, "Listen carefully to your father, I was interrupted." She couldn't explain this question to her daughter, so she could only vaguely explain it.
Yunyao decided in her heart to ask her sister this question later, but she put on a cute face.
Du Yifu said: "That Lin Zhi was expelled from the Lin family earlier, and seeing that Ade's family business is getting better and better, he wanted to join him again. It's just that his mother-in-law didn't want to talk to him, and drove him out every time he came to the door. Lin Zhi So he could only go the way of his in-laws. He didn’t know where to find a pair of medicine, and told his in-laws that after taking it, he would be able to recover. His in-laws also promised him that if he really recovered, he would be rehabilitated. Recognize it."
Du Yifu sighed and said: "Who knew that after taking the medicine, he kept shouting hot, and died suddenly within half a day."
Du Zhou took a deep breath, "That means the father-in-law was killed by his own son?"
Du Yifu nodded, "Whether Lin Zhi was intentional or not, it is a fact that he killed his father, so he was thrown into prison. Before I left, he had already been executed."
For a while, everyone fell silent, not knowing what to say.It's ridiculous to say that Lin Xiongwei spoiled Lin Zhi so much back then, but he probably didn't expect that he would die at the hands of his most beloved son in the end.A drink and a peck, all have a fixed number.
After a while, Du Yifu spoke again: "Although Yunxia couldn't come here by herself, she asked me to bring you a make-up gift."
Yun Xi said: "Big sister's health is critical now, I don't know how she is now?"
Du Yifu said: "My mother-in-law treats her very well, although because of filial piety, she can't eat meat and fish, but I think my mother-in-law changes ways to make good food for her every day."
Du Zhou nodded in agreement, "Yunxia is lucky to have such a mother-in-law."
Du Zhou's relationship with Lin Sun's is very good, and she felt that Lin Xiongwei's death was a relief to Lin Sun's.It's just that such words can only be thought in the heart, not spoken.
Yun Xi took a look at the make-up ceremony prepared by her elder sister, they were all silk and exquisite jewelry.Although the things are not as good as what Yun Xi usually wears, it is obvious that Yun Xia spent a lot of effort to get them. After all, the Lin family is not as rich as the Du family.
Seeing that everyone's emotions were not particularly high, Du Yifu racked his brains to describe the wedding of Lai San and A Yu, so as to make everyone feel happy.It's just that his language ability is over there, no matter how lively the scene is, he speaks dryly.
Ayu's adoptive mother, Sister-in-Law Tang, couldn't listen any longer, so she took up the conversation and told everyone about Ayu and Lai San's wedding, and she was very satisfied with the wedding in words.
……
"How is it?" Lu Yiran's tone was quite triumphant.
Yun Xi looked at the women's army of at least 100 people in front of her, and looked at her in surprise, "When did you start forming?"
Lu Yiran was in high spirits: "I've been working on this since I came back from Changming Mountain." She paused, and continued: "I've decided, I will be a female general like Yang Bamei!"
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, and she said, "Being a female general is not such a simple matter, dispatching troops, arranging troops... You can't be ambiguous about everything."
Lu Yiran put away her cynical smile and became serious, "I know all of this." She sighed and said, "I've been reading military books for the past few days."
As a friend, Yun Xi can only encourage her, "Then don't be enthusiastic for three minutes."
Lu Yiran nodded, "That's for sure."
Then he happily told Yun Xi the story of the female general of the Yang family.
"Can't you really let me meet Mr. Lian?"
Every time Yiran tries to get the true identity of "Lian Nishang" from her.
Yun Xi shook her head and said, "No."
When Yunyao's strength is completely worthy of the pseudonym Lian Nishang, maybe she will make it public.To Yunyao, revealing her identity too early is tantamount to putting her in front of others, which is not a good thing.
Yiran snorted, "Forget it, I can find it myself."
She glanced at Yun Xi and said, "Don't worry, even if I find out, I won't tell anyone."
Yun Xi also believed that Yiran would not do this.
Then Yiran looked at Yun Xi seriously, "I suspect that Ji Zhizhi already has a clue. Remember to help Mr. Nishang cover up your identity." Only when others can't find it is reconciled.
Ji Zhizhi is General Ji's favorite little grandson, and he is also a well-known fan of Lian Nishang.When Yun Xi went to Tianxiang Tower before, he had quarreled with others because of the practice of neon clothes.The Du family and the Ji family have a good relationship because of the friendship of sending Qianhe ointment.
Yun Xi was startled, and her brows could not help but wrinkled - although Ji Zhizhi was a nice person, she still didn't want him to find out Yun Yao's identity.
She calmed down and gave Lu Yiran a glance, "I think you are unbalanced, and he is almost found, so you have to add trouble to him."
Lu Yiran admitted this without any pressure, "That's right, why did he find the clue when I didn't find it? Hmph, I won't lose to him when it comes to worshiping Mr. Nishang. When Mr. Nishang The work was published, and I didn’t buy a hundred copies.”
It is because of Lu Yiran's big-spending customers that Yun Xi can't sell enough every time she prints more.It's all thanks to Lu Yiran and other fans that Yun Yao will become a little rich woman so quickly.
Yun Xi said: "I don't think it's that easy to find him." Every time after Yun Yao finished writing, Yun Xi would find someone else to copy it again before sending it to the printing workshop. The person who copied it was different every time .As for the original manuscripts, they are all locked in her cabinet.
"By the way, Deng Changming, you should know him, right?"
Yun Xi nodded, "What happened to him?" After the complete downfall of the Deng family, only Deng Changming was saved and separated because of his father.
Lu Yiran said: "He is also a capable person." There was a lot of praise in his tone.
The rest refused to say more.
Yun Xi was very curious about what Deng Changming had done, so after returning home, she asked Li Qiu to investigate, and she was considered an acquaintance anyway.
Li Qiu took advantage of the influence of Wanshiwu to go out to inquire about it, and then told her, "This young master of the Deng family seems to be planning to open a shop recently."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, "What shop?" She heard Yun Shen mention something about Deng Changming earlier, saying that His Majesty originally planned to introduce a new salt to Deng Changming, but Deng Changming refused.After that, Deng Changming disappeared for a long time, and did not reappear in front of people until last year.
Li Qiu said: "It is said that they sell rare treasures from other countries, including overseas, and they will open on February 20th."
A few days after Yun Xi investigated Deng Changming, she received a post from Deng Changming. To be precise, this post was for her and Yun Yao.
The post invited her and Yunyao to attend the store's opening ceremony, and it was sent along with the post, as well as a gift prepared by Deng Changming.
The gifts are mainly spices and pens and inks.The spices are very rare and expensive in Dachu, and they should be purchased from countries in the Western Regions.The pen and ink are designated for Yunyao. Yunyao tried to hold the pen and found that it is very easy to write. No matter the length or thickness, there is no dissatisfaction at all. It is obviously tailor-made for her.
Perhaps it was because of the communication with Lu Yiran before, Yun Xi immediately thought of the identity leak, and couldn't help asking Yun Yao: "Tell me, Deng Changming didn't realize that you are just practicing neon clothes, right?"
Everyone in the capital knows that Yunyao likes to wield knives and swords, and she gets headaches when she reads books. On Yunyao's birthday every year, no one will give her pens and inks as gifts, usually jewelry and purses.
Yun Yao was startled, and her tone was a little uncertain, "I don't think I know?" Her identity was kept so well that not many people in the Du family knew about it, except for her sister and Duo Duo, who were the few around her. The maid knows.These maids are very tight-lipped, and they are careful to cover her up on weekdays, so that there may be no rumors about it.Didn't see Lu Yiran as the princess, but still couldn't find her?
She clapped her hands and said, "It doesn't matter so much, even if he knows, I won't admit it then."
Yun Xi nodded, even if Deng Changming found out, she didn't think it was a problem, and Deng Changming was not the kind of person who leaked his mouth.
Before the arrival of NO.20, she received an unpleasant message.
Then Xie Xinshu was released from Xiyuan because of her pregnancy. Although she was still a Tongfang, her treatment was much better.
Yun Xi can only say that Xie Xinshu's luck is really not so good, and the pregnancy thing broke out at this time.Although she hated Xie Xinshu's behavior, Yun Xi would not take action against the life in her stomach at will, unless she provoked her again.
Yun Shen had indeed fulfilled his promise - ever since Xie Xinshu came out of Xiyuan, he never went back to Yun's house.
In the past, I would go back once every ten days.
As a result, Yun Mu had no choice but to send Xie Xinshu back to Xiaozhuangzi, just waiting for the birth of the child.Yun Mu is almost forty this year, and now he is about to have an extra child, even if he is a little displeased with Xie Xinshu's previous calculations psychologically, but the child is innocent after all, so Xie Xinshu still has good arrangements.
After Yun Xi learned of this, she felt that it was too much of a coincidence.She didn't know if it was her psychological effect, but she felt that Xie Xinshu's appearance was not as simple as she imagined.
She had the same life experience as Meng Zhiyun, she was also exterminated, and also because she escaped.Some similar facial features, and deliberately imitated clothes... Yun Xi really didn't believe that there was no one behind her.
After Xie Xinshu became Yunmu's noble concubine, no one from her surviving grandfather's family came to visit her. This is also a strange thing.
I believe that Yun Shen also had the same idea as her, that's why he asked people to investigate the matter of Xie's family.
……
The time has come to February [-] without any haste.
Yun Xi got up from bed early in the morning.
Yin Dan asked: "Miss, do you want to wear that cloud silk cloak when you go out today?"
Yun Xi glanced out the window and said, "No need, the weather has turned hot these days, the sun has come out, so it's hot to wear."
Some time ago, the winter snow melted, and the weather was so cold.Anyone who has studied chemistry knows that when snow melts, it absorbs heat and lowers the temperature.The two children in the family, Du Lei and Du Rui, also caught a cold because of this, and their little faces became thinner after drinking the medicine.
Yin Dan said: "I'll take it out and put it in the carriage." Just in case, after all, the weather this month is erratic, maybe after going out for a while, the cold wind starts blowing again.
Yun Xi nodded dispensably.
After breakfast, she, Yun Yao and Duo Duo set off for Baiwei Zhai.Deng Changming must have tasted all the flavors of life.
This Baiweizhai is located in the busiest neighborhood, and this one alone occupies a three-story restaurant.Looking at the area and size, not counting the decoration and cost, it is impossible to buy this land without 5 taels.Yun Xi opened a shop before, but she didn't directly choose expensive locations like him.It's understandable when you think about it. Deng Changming was born in the richest salt merchant's family, and he was a scheming person. During those years lurking at home, he must have withdrawn money from the account.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she heard someone next to her whispering about the Baiweizhai.
"This Deng's family has just arrived and spent a lot of money to open this store. Are you really not afraid of being watched?"
In the capital, which big shop is not backed by dignitaries and nobles, otherwise it can't be kept.For example, Du Yifu and the others have never found fault with their Chuan Chuan Xiang, and it is also because Yun Xi, the princess, is behind them.
Another person said: "What do you know! The one supporting Deng Changming is Princess Duanchang."
The man was silent for a while, and his tone was a bit sour, "Deng Changming is really lucky. I don't know how many rich businessmen in the capital want to get Princess Duanchang but they can't. He has settled in a shabby household, but he can get the princess's favor."
"Hey, I heard that Deng Changming is handsome, you know." Then there was the comprehending obscene look between the men.
Although Princess Duanchang is over forty years old, she still has a charming charm, and the family has raised a lot of face heads.
Yunxi, Yunyao, and Dodo are all sharp and sharp because of their martial arts practice. Although these people think they have lowered their voices, they still hear their conversation clearly.
Yun Yao's eyebrows were tightly frowned, she looked unhappy, she sneered, "A man's jealous face is really ugly."
She had been with Deng Changming for a while, and she knew in her heart that he seemed gentle and weak in Deng's family, but in fact he was decisive and arrogant. It's no wonder that such a person would become someone else's servant.
Those two were flushed red by Yun Yao's sarcasm, one of them was about to say something, but was stopped by his companion, and pointed to the carriage behind Yun Xi - this was the princess's carriage.
The two who thought they couldn't afford to offend the princess immediately left silently.
Yun Xi looked at Yun Yao with a smile in her eyes, "Don't you hate Deng Changming?"
Yun Yao curled her lips, "It's two different things." And to be honest, it's been so long since the incident, she really didn't have to say anything annoying, otherwise she wouldn't have come here with her sister.
The three of them walked into the Baiweizhai with their maid, and Yun Xi was surprised to find that there were quite a few people invited here today.On the one hand, it was for the sake of Princess Duanchang behind her, and on the other hand, it was Deng Changming's own ability.
Deng Changming is tall and tall, wearing a royal blue double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown, the skirt and cuffs are patterned with auspicious clouds with silver silk threads, the texture of the clothes is very good, a piece of simple black jade hangs around his waist, and his hair is simple Bunched and tied casually with a ribbon.The whole person does not look like a businessman, on the contrary, he looks like a student who just came out of the academy, with a sense of elegance.Perhaps because he has experienced a lot of things in the world, he has a temperament that is different from his peers, like a jar of fine wine, the more you touch it, the more mellow it will be.
Yun Xi noticed that some girls couldn't help showing admiration.She looked around and had to admit that a lot of thought has been put into this store. From the decoration point of view, there are styles of each country, there are many types, but they are very harmonious, not messy at all, and they match each other. Yingzhang.
Grassland, Nanling, Northern Wei Dynasty, Qing Dynasty...these three floors are filled with items from at least 20 countries, among which there are several countries that Yunxi has never heard of before.It can be seen that Deng Changming's experience in the past few years is very rich.
The price is marked on the front of each item, and the store even posts the announcement directly without bargaining.The cheapest thing costs ten taels of silver, and the most expensive thing is even worth 10 taels of silver.Yun Xi saw a statue of Avalokitesvara carved out of obsidian. Avalokitesvara looked at the public with compassionate eyes.
On the spot, there was a woman who directly bought the Avalokitesvara statue.
Li Qiu said in a low voice: "That is Li Shi, the wife of the director of the clan's mansion. Her eldest daughter-in-law is also her natal niece. She has been married to Li's family for many years and has not conceived for a long time. It is probably bought for her."
Yun Xi took a look and found that there were quite a lot of Buddha statues, most of which came in from the Northern Wei Dynasty.The Northern Wei Dynasty worshiped Buddhism from top to bottom. Unlike Dachu, where Buddhism and Taoism are divided equally, the temples there are also said to be very effective. The three most famous temples in the world all came from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Deng Changming's Buddha statues were all consecrated from there, and there were even scriptures handwritten by the abbot there. It's no wonder that these women bought them without blinking.Deng Changming is indeed very good at doing business.He finds out exactly what everyone's heart desires.
Yun Xi took her two younger sisters for a walk. Even she couldn't help but feel her heart beat when she saw many things here, and she had a desire to buy them just around the corner.For example, the kind of satin that is lighter and thinner than yarn, but has a silk texture and is not see-through at all, such as the sky silk that Yunshen gave her before, and even a piece of thousand-year-old cold iron.
I don't know where Deng Changming found these things, but after looking at the prices, Yun Xi still gave up. The cheapest ones start at 2 taels.She originally thought she was quite rich, but in January she sold five more potted flowers and got 20 taels of silver.But if she really asked her to spend 2 taels to buy these things, Yun Xi couldn't bear it after all.
Yun Yao was the same, whispering to her in a low voice: "Seeing the things here, I feel so poor."
Duo Duo nodded with sympathy, and then looked at those aristocrats beside him who took out money to buy without blinking, and felt that the difference between people is really not ordinary.
"If you have something you like, for the sake of our acquaintance, I can give you the cost price."
Deng Changming's gentle voice sounded.
Yun Yao turned her head to look at him, then pointed to a box with three characters written on the bottom of the box - Peacock Ling.Peacock Feather and Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle are both known as the king of hidden weapons.The price tag below the peacock feather says 5000 taels. The 5000 taels of peacock feathers can only be used once.
However, for some rich people, spending 5000 taels to provide an extra layer of protection for their lives is not expensive at all.That's because the people who came here today are basically high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. Those who have never been in the rivers and lakes don't know the value of peacock feathers, so they let him eat the dust there.
Deng Changming said a number by the side of Yunyao, Yunyao's eyes widened, the round eyes were full of shock, like a little squirrel, it looked extraordinarily agile and cute.After a while, she asked angrily, "Is there such a big difference between the cost price and the selling price of the things on your side?"
Yun Yao subconsciously lowered her voice so that no one could hear her.
Deng Changming just smiled without saying a word. In Yun Yao's eyes, this gesture was clearly acquiescing.
Yun Yao looked even more upset.
"Then I'll take this." For Yun Yao, who longed for the Jianghu, the legendary hidden weapon like Peacock Ling held an extraordinary place in her heart.She also didn't want to take advantage of others, and said: "I have a wood carving carved by Master Chaoming himself. My future brother-in-law and sister said yes, and it is worth at least 1 taels. I will exchange that wood carving with you for two boxes of peacock feathers later." .”
Yun Xi couldn't help but nodded when she heard Yun Yao's words.Yun Yao's temperament is very good, if she is an ordinary person, she heard that she can take advantage of the goods, she would have directly agreed to it.
Deng Changming shook his head and said, "No need, in fact, you have already paid the money before."
Then he took out a copper coin from his pocket. Compared with ordinary copper coins, there was nothing special about this copper coin.
Yun Yao looked at it for a long time and couldn't see why.
Deng Changming smiled slightly, "At the poetry competition, our Ms. Du's vote is worth a thousand gold." Then he put away the copper coins again, and told the workers in the store, "Wrap this peacock feather."
Yun Yao always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell the reason.Yun Xi took her hand and said, "Okay, you just accept it, anyway, we won't lose him when the time comes."
Big deal, she'll build a weapon for Deng Changming herself when the time comes.Yun Shen once said that the weapons she personally built could be sold for a lot of money in the world.Last year, Yunxi built almost three of them and handed them over to Yunshen. As expected, they got 5 taels.
Yun Yao listened to Yun Xi's words the most, and only accepted the gift after hearing these words.
The smile in Deng Changming's eyes deepened.
After Yun Yao took over Peacock Ling, she couldn't wait to play with it.The outside of Peacock Ling is very simple and low-key. It looks like a small black iron bucket with a few buttons on it.
Seeing that her finger was about to move towards the button, Deng Changming's expression changed, and he quickly pressed her wrist to prevent her from acting rashly, "Be careful, if you press it, everyone in this room will die."
The corner of Yunyao's mouth curled into a playful smile, "Who would really press it down, just to scare you. You are so timid."
It seemed that she was especially happy to discover Deng Changming's new side, and the corners of her eyes and brows were full of joy.
Deng Changming was a little speechless.
Yun Xi also couldn't help laughing, thanks to Deng Changming's calm appearance in front of others, he always failed in front of Yun Yao.Yun Yao put the Peacock Ling back into the box, and prepared to study it slowly after returning home.
Deng Changming coughed, and said: "I'm going to entertain other guests, you can take your time, and just tell me if you want anything." His eyes fell on Yun Xi, and he added: "The same is true of Princess Ming. "
Yun Xi joked, "I'm just passing by."
Tsk, so-and-so is really not an ordinary eccentric.She had already discovered that the gifts that Deng Changming sent to Du's house on weekdays were basically aimed at Yun Yao's own preferences.Looking at his younger sister again, she still looked heartless.
After Deng Changming went downstairs, they continued to wander around the third floor.
Yun Yao didn't forget to complain to Yun Xi in a low voice, "Sister, you don't know, he has a black heart. He only paid 50 taels for this peacock feather when he received it, and sold it for 5000 taels as soon as he changed hands. I don't know which prodigal son it is." , The king of squandering hidden weapons like this."
"I see that there is almost such a gap between the purchase price and the sale price of other things in this store, which makes me want to open a store like this."
Yun Xi smiled slightly, "You only see his appearance on the surface, but you don't see the hard work he has put in. To buy things from all over the world, I don't know how many contacts and money are needed to open channels. These costs far exceed the price of the item itself.”
This Baiweizhai is deeper than she imagined. When she goes back, she'd better ask Yun Shen about it.Yun Xi always felt that Princess Duanchang alone might not have such energy.
Yun Yao tilted her head, "It seems that he is quite capable. Well, he is not much worse than me."
"Sister Du, Sister Yunyao." The youth's refreshing greeting sounded from behind, Yun Xi turned her head, only to find that it was Ji Zhizhi who was greeting them.To Yun Xi's great surprise, Ji Zhizhi was accompanied by a girl about sixteen years old. The girl looked pretty and looked familiar, but for a while, she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
She felt that if General Ji saw this scene, he would probably be very relieved. His precious grandson was finally enlightened.
The girl met Yun Xi's eyes, and immediately dodged away, looking down at the floor in front of her.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "So far, who is this?"
Ji Zhizhi was about to say something, but the girl beside her grabbed his sleeve, Ji Zhizhi was a little embarrassed but also a little happy and said, "This is Mr. Fu."
With a title of Mr., you can tell that Ji Zhizhi respects her very much.Yun Xi couldn't help being very surprised. Could it be possible that the girl in front of her has something extraordinary that makes Ji Zhi Zhi honor her as Mr.
The girl blessed her body slightly, and said: "Minister Fu Wanyi." Then she didn't speak.
Ji Zhizhi coughed and asked, "Sister Yunxi, I want to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone worthy of Mr. Fu, why don't you help me choose?"
Because the two families have a good relationship, Ji Zhizhi and Yunxi sisters are very familiar with each other, so there is not much politeness between them.
Yun Xi said: "For the best brushes, inks, papers and inkstones, just go to Shenpu to buy them." Shenpu is the most famous shop in the capital, specializing in selling pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
Ji Zhi said: "Those are just vulgar things, they are not suitable for Mr. Fu to use. I heard that the things in this Baiweizhai are quite good, so I came here specially."
Yun Yao smiled and said, "What's the benefit if we pick it for you?" She clapped her hands and said, "Ah, yes, there's also a hush money, otherwise I'll tell Sister Ziqing about it. I'll tell her , you will have a girl you like by sneaking around." Ji Ziqing is Ji Zhizhi's direct sister.
An embarrassing expression appeared on Ji Zhizhi's face, "Sister Yunyao, it's not what you think." Fu Wanyi beside him had a tinge of pink on her cheeks, her voice was thin and weak, with a touch of joy in her shyness, "You guys really misunderstood, Mr. Ji and I really have nothing to do."
Ji Zhizhi nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's really nothing."
Yun Xi saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and Jiyue was full of beauty, and he did not seem to be attracted to Fu Wanyi, so she was puzzled: If you don't like her, why would you want to give her expensive things?
and……
Her eyes fell on Fu Wanyi, she didn't like this girl very much.Under normal circumstances, if a nobleman wants to give him a gift, he should refuse it, but from the beginning to the end, this Miss Fu has a tacit attitude.
Ji Zhizhi is Yunyao's little fan, he can be said to be a child at heart, and Yun Xi doesn't want him to be tricked into being taken advantage of.She casually pointed to a Zihao pen next to her, "This one is very good, I think you can buy this."
This Zihao pen is already the cheapest pen in Baiweizhai, but it is relatively cheap.A pen costs 400 taels of silver.
Fu Wanyi, who was still silent just now, said, "I see a Fengshu pen on the second floor, but I don't know how that pen compares to the Fengshu pen?"
Yun Xi remembered that the Fengshu pen was sold for 2000 taels of silver, and looked at Fu Wanyi with meaningful eyes - this person has quite a big appetite.After returning home, she must have a good communication with Ji Ziqing. If Ji Ziqing's younger brother finds out that her stupid brother has been scammed, she will definitely explode.
Ji Zhizhi, the big guy, didn't have the slightest sense of being tricked, and asked over there, "Yeah, would the Fengshu pen be better?"
Yun Xi said: "Although the Fengshu pen is good, the characters written are correct and powerful, but after a long time of use, the wrists are prone to soreness. I think Miss Fu has no strength to restrain the chicken, and the Zihao pen is more suitable for girls to write."
Ji Zhizhi nodded, "Then I'll just buy this Zihao pen."
After buying a pen, Ji Zhi still wanted to continue buying inkstones. At this time, Yun Xi felt that the high price of Baiweizhai was not without harm.She said directly: "So far, have you brought enough money before you go out? I think the cheapest inkstone in this house costs 1000 taels."
Take out an inkstone here, which is used by famous people, and the price is not cheap.
Ji Zhizhi patted himself on the head and said, "I only brought 600 taels today, so I'd better come back tomorrow."
Yun Xi silently decided in her heart, let Deng Changming temporarily remove the inkstone from the shop for a few days later.
Fu Wanyi watched quietly as Ji Zhizhi bought her a Zihao pen.After accepting this gift, he thanked Jizhi softly.
Yun Xi hated her even more. Seeing how Ji Zhizhi and Fu Wanyi got along, they were not considered acquaintances, but unfamiliar, but Fu Wanyi could watch Ji Zhizhi buy her things with peace of mind.
Yun Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and asked directly, "So far, how did you meet Miss Fu?"
Although Ji Zhizhi is a year or two older than Yunyao, perhaps because Ji Zhizhi is her fan, Yunyao always unconsciously treats him like a younger brother.Seeing my younger brother being tricked, I was naturally upset.
Ji Zhizhi kept silent about it, "I promised Mr. Fu that I would keep it a secret."
His tone was filled with joy and pride, as if keeping this secret would make him happy.
Fu Wanyi pursed her lips, looking a little nervous and flustered.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows - why is she panicking?
She said slowly: "I always feel that I have seen Miss Fu somewhere, I wonder if Miss Fu has the same feeling?"
Ji Zhizhi blurted out, "Maybe you two have been friends for a long time."
Yun Xi was thoughtful, did Ji Zhizhi confirm that she and Fu Wanyi had met before?
But Fu Wanyi suddenly said: "I should go back, if I go home late, my brother will be worried."
Ji Zhizhi immediately said: "I'll take you back, it's not safe for you as a girl."
A look of joy flashed in Fu Wanyi's eyes, but she still pretended to be reserved, "Then I will trouble you."
After the two of them left, Yun Yao said: "Ji Zhizhi won't be coaxed by charlatans again, right?"
Yun Xi said: "Don't worry, with his identity, even if he is cheated, someone will help him find the place." The Ji family will not let Ji Zhizhi suffer.
They have almost finished shopping in Baiweizhai, and when they look at the store, they feel that there are more and more people, so they lose the interest to continue looking.Before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Deng Changming to hold Ji back.
"If he wants to buy anything, no matter what, you say it has been ordered, don't sell it to him."
Unexpectedly, Deng Changming nodded and agreed, and Yun Xi went home with peace of mind.
After dinner, Yun Xi took out a pen and paper, and was going to write a post to Ji Ziqing, inviting her to come over in the next two days, and let the Ji family pay attention to Ji Zhizhi's friendship status.As a result, she hadn't finished writing the post yet, the concierge had already come to inform her that Ji Ziqing was here.
Yun Xi put down her pen, "Ask her to come in."
A moment later, Ji Ziqing appeared in front of her with an angry face, "Yun Xi, where is the Lian Nishang?"
Yun Xi was startled, then shook her head, "As I said, I have to keep her a secret, how can I expose her identity at will."
Ji Ziqing exploded like a powder barrel, "Secret! That kind of person, why are you keeping secrets for her? I used to like her works so much, but I didn't expect her character to be so low. To deceive my simple brother."
Speaking of the latter, Ji Ziqing couldn't help gnashing her teeth.Yun Xi had no doubt that if Lian Nishang appeared in front of her, Miss Ji would definitely throw a whip in her face.
Yun Xi was stunned, Lian Nishang was Yun Yao, Ji Ziqing meant that Yun Yao cheated Ji Zhizhi?When did this happen, why didn't she know?
