The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 280 The Gradually Emerging Conspiracies Are All Laity
If in normal times, a girl as beautiful as a fairy encountered such a thing, everyone would definitely feel deep sympathy.It's just who made Hu Jinxuan say such hateful words just now.These ordinary people all hope that the flood will subside soon, so that they can return to their original piece of pure land.
It was good for Hu Jinxuan, but she felt sorry for the insignificant pear blossom forest.If it was normal, everyone would praise her for being elegant.At this time, it was because of her parents that she didn't call directly.
Hu Jinxuan's father is Qiuzhou Xuezheng. Although he is only from the seventh rank, he is in charge of teaching and is extremely noble.In addition, her grandfather was also the head of the largest school in Qiuzhou.For the sake of these two, the people in Qiuzhou treated Hu Jinxuan quite politely.It's just that she has angered everyone today, so seeing this person who has been acting like a fairy all day has become so embarrassed, everyone gloated.
Yun Xi originally just wanted to teach this ungrateful person a lesson, otherwise she wouldn't have hooked Hu Jinxuan with vines to prevent her from falling into the water.
She said lightly: "Miss Hu is still young after all, she can't stand things."
Mrs. Ge had a pitiful face, "It's really pitiful. After being frightened like this, it's better to send her back quickly." But her heart was already full of laughter.Let her be mean!
Hu Jinxuan's mother has always been proud of her daughter who is as beautiful as orchid and more talented than a fairy. Today, her daughter lost such a big ugliness, and she felt a little embarrassed. She reluctantly said: "The road over there is too uneven. , send Xuan'er home quickly."
Hu Jinxuan was rushed into the carriage by the maid in this way.As a result, just as the carriage was about to drive back, one of the front wheels fell off.
Well, there is no way to get off the carriage now.
In fact, Hu Jinxuan can choose to borrow someone else's car. Even if the people present don't like her, they will choose to lend her the carriage because of face.It's just that she has no face to appear in front of people because of being drowned in the water before, and she is so ashamed and angry that she wants to commit suicide, so why would she run out to borrow a car.If she didn't mention it, others would naturally take it as nothing.
In the end, Hu Jinxuan had no choice but to get off the carriage, covered her proud face with a veiled hat, and hurried away, her back full of the smell of running away.
Yun Xi withdrew her gaze and looked downstream from a distance.
Another explosion sounded, bringing up monstrous waves.
Apparently, Zhifu Ge and the others felt that one bomb was not enough, so they blew up a few more.
Looking at her feet, Yun Xi could see that the flood water was beginning to recede.Not only did the bomb explode, but the mud that sank at the bottom of the river seemed to have dispersed a little because of it.The golden sun shone warmly on everyone, and shone into people's hearts all the time.
There were cries one after another, but compared to the helplessness and panic before, this cry was full of joy and sadness.
After all, this flood lasted a little too long.
Yun Xi sighed, every time a natural disaster strikes, the people at the bottom suffer the most.She suddenly lost interest, and said to Mrs. Ge: "Let's go back." She paused, and said: "It's time to prepare for the banquet in the afternoon."
A few days ago, they set the time for this afternoon to prepare the money.Yun Xi only brought 5000 taels of silver with her when she went out this trip, and she planned to donate 3000 taels of silver at that time.
Mrs. Ge has always put her first, seeing the faint tiredness between her brows and eyes, she nodded and said yes, "I just happen to be a little tired too."
The two got into the carriage and went home together.Yun Xi took one last look at the Qiuhe River, and a thought suddenly came to her mind: Maybe I can imitate my previous life and temporarily pile sandbags on the river bank.The embankments originally built by Qiuzhou's generation were basically washed away by the previous flood.
After Yun Xi left, several other people who saw Yun Xi for the first time couldn't help but said to the people around them: "This is Mrs. Yun from the capital? I heard you said how beautiful she is and how temperamental she is. I don't believe it. Today I saw myself, as expected of a nobleman from the capital, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to imagine such a grandeur."
"Yeah, it's not like some people, but they are born more neatly than others, so they think highly of themselves and don't put others in their eyes, but they don't know that they are just a frog at the bottom of a well, not even a finger of Mrs. Yun."
"Yes, Mrs. Yun has a noble status and a very beautiful appearance, but she is very amiable. Earlier, she took my daughter and talked a lot, praising her for being lively."
Madam Hu's face darkened, and she could no longer maintain her original dignified expression. She didn't know that these people had a long-standing grudge against her daughter, and they were taking the opportunity of Miss Carrying Cloud to step on her daughter.
It's no wonder that these wives don't like Hu Jinxuan, whoever made everyone present was more or less told by her that they were ordinary people.
……
Before the charity meeting in the afternoon, Dodo also came back from the outside, but Ming Zuoting followed her.
Yun Xi was naturally very happy to see her returning sister, but when she looked at Ming Zuoting, who looked like a breeze and a bright moon, she couldn't help frowning, "Why are you here?"
Ming Zuoting smiled gently, his face was still very confusing, "At least I also saved Madam's sister twice, why is Madam so aggressive?"
twice?
Apart from the poisonous lady, is there another time?
Yun Xi's suspicious eyes could not help falling on Duo Duo. After such a reminder, she also smelled the faint smell of medicine on Duo Duo's body. She asked worriedly: "Are you injured?" There will be times of injury.
Dodo bit her lower lip, and stared fiercely at Ming Zuoting, but Ming Zuoting's smiling face made her teeth itch with hatred even more.In front of Yun Xi, Duo Duo couldn't help but weaken her voice, "Cousin, it's just a small injury, nothing serious. I got hurt because of my negligence."
Ming Zuoting continued to tear down the stage, "It's indeed a minor injury, almost piercing your heart."
"Ming, Zuo, Ting." No matter how good-tempered Duo Duo was, she couldn't help but get angry, her eyes sparkled with anger.
"Small, hurt?" Yun Xi asked word by word.
Hearing this voice, Dodo knew that her cousin was really angry, and the original anger was immediately quenched by a pot of cold water.
"It seems that your experiences in the past few days are also very colorful." Yun Xi's voice was filled with irrepressible anger, some towards Duo Duo, and some towards herself.I knew that she should have gone with Dodo in the first place, and shouldn't have too much confidence in her skills, so I let her go with confidence.
She turned her head to Ming Zuoting and said, "Although you are still annoying, I still want to thank you this time."
Ming Zuoting looked calm, "You don't need to thank me, I have also received a gift."
It's just that he didn't say what the specific thank you gift is.
Yun Xi focused on Duoduo again, and said, "Shouldn't you tell me about what happened along the way?"
Dodo pursed her lips, but said it anyway.
Speaking of which, Duo Duo was not careless on the way, in addition to covering her beautiful appearance with some dust, she also specially changed her clothes into inconspicuous coarse cloth clothes, so as not to attract people's eyes and attract the attention of thieves.Although she can beat them, but with the children and Mrs. Zhao mother and son, it is better to be peaceful.
Although she also encountered many refugees, she still arrived in Fenghuang County smoothly.Fenghuang County is the territory of Wanshiwu. Thanks to San and the others, Dodo doesn't have to worry about their safety at all. After resting in Fenghuang County for half a day, she is ready to set off.
But on the way back, he was assassinated.All the people who assassinated her were excellent in martial arts, and there were at least 20 of them. The menacing posture of beheading them all under the sword made them dangerous.
In addition, a member of the White Clothes Sect was almost killed at that time, and Dodo was injured in order to save her.If it wasn't for Ming Zuoting leading people to arrive in time, she would have died half-life.
Until now, Dodo still doesn't understand what kind of hatred she has provoked, and the other party insists on killing her.
Later, they also encountered several assassinations one after another, but because Ming Zuoting and his subordinates were there, they all successfully repelled each other.Later, Dodo dressed up everyone in disguise, and then arrived in Qiuzhou smoothly.Although her makeup level is not as superb as Yun Xi's, it still has some of her essence.
In front of her cousin, she couldn't help asking out her doubts.Dodo thinks that she has always been kind to others, logically speaking, no one should hate her so much.
Listening to her thrilling experience along the way, Yun Xi also felt a surge of anger in her heart.If it was to assassinate her, it would be understandable. She had offended countless people, and a few princes had a bad relationship with Yun Shen.But Dodo's words are really unreasonable.Dodo's external identity is her cousin, and she has never offended anyone.
unless……
She suddenly remembered that Dodo has another level of identity, she is the saint and leader of the White Clothes Sect.
Duoduo was assassinated... Ning Fei pretended to be the saint of the White Clothes Sect... If these two things happened at the same time, it would be tricky no matter how you look at it.
Yun Xi had a flash of inspiration and directly connected these two things together.The other party wouldn't want to kill Duo Duo, the true leader of the White Clothes Sect, so that Ning Fei could increase her reputation, and finally threaten the White Clothes Sect, and then take over, right?
If so, it makes sense.It's just that the other party probably didn't expect that Ning Fei's identity would be directly exposed by Yun Xi, and all her actions were exposed, and in the end the bamboo basket was all for nothing.
Yun Xi told about Ning Fei, Duo Duo was stunned, "Really? No wonder the other party kept their hands back at first. I guess they wanted to spare my life at first."
It's just seeing that Dodo and the others have high martial arts skills, and if they show mercy, they will suffer instead, so the attack became more ruthless.
After hearing Yun Xi's deduction, Ming Zuoting nodded and said, "Speaking of which, some time ago, someone in Jianghu spent a lot of money to buy the secret recipe of the human skin mask."
Ming Zuoting is not a random person, he suddenly brought up this matter, apparently thinking that it has something to do with Dodo.
Yun Xi didn't feel creepy, if the other party's original plan was to peel off Duo Duo's face and make it into a human skin mask, he could have directly replaced Duo Duo's identity and became the leader of the White Clothes Sect.
But the other party obviously thought too simply. As her cousin, whether Dodo has been replaced, wouldn't she know?
Dodo held her hand and said, "Sister, I'm fine."
Yun Xi snorted, it's all right.
Seeing that the two sisters obviously had something to say, Ming Zuoting smiled and left the room quickly.
After he left, Yun Xi couldn't help asking the question that had been circling in her heart for a long time, "How did he come here? How did he just meet you and save your life?"
If Yun Shen hadn't told her before that Ming Zuoting could barely trust her, Yun Xi would have suspected him long ago.
Duoduo said: "He helped me only because of Xue Ning Gong." When she talked about this, her face was calm.She didn't think that Ming Zuoting would help her for no reason, but after knowing the other party's purpose, she felt very at ease.
Yun Xi said: "You won't really give it to him, will you? What does he want this Xue Ninggong for?"
Xue Ninggong is the martial arts of the Baiyi Sect, and ordinary members can only practice the most obvious ones.Originally, everyone could practice this martial art, but later the White Clothes Sect had a few traitors, who almost leaked the martial arts, after that, Honggu became stricter.
Only the elders, leader and protectors can get in touch with the complete Xue Ning Gong.
Duoduo said: "He only said that there was a mistake in his cultivation method, and he needed to use Xue Ning Gong to achieve balance in his body." Duoduo pursed her lips and said, "Of course I can't make Xue Ning The gong was leaked out, but he was only given the most peripheral and crude mentality, and it can be regarded as thanks for the two life-saving graces."
If Ming Zuoting is willing to use some small tricks, he can still get the outermost mental method.This is also the reason why Dodo agreed easily.
"Only this one?"
Dodo paused for a moment, and said: "I also promised him that I will often compete with him in the future." Ming Zuoting said that it was helpful for him to have frequent access to the top level of Xue Ninggong.
Yun Xi thought about it for a while, and felt that this was not a big deal, so she let it go.With her watching on the left and right, no matter what happens, Dodo will not really suffer.
Dodo continued: "I asked him why he came to Qiuzhou. The reason why he came was also because Ning Fei and the others, with their reputation as teachers in white clothes, made a huge noise and already alarmed the capital."
The corner of Duoduo's mouth curled up in a sarcasm, "Some officials in the capital even said that they should be canonized for their contributions during this period of time."
Now Yun Xi can be sure that there is really a force in the capital who wants to control the White Clothes Sect and use the White Clothes Sect.Who made Bai Yijiao become famous because of Honggu and the pedal spinning wheel.The textile factories built by Baiyijiao have also entered the eyes of the world, and have been well received for their good treatment.
She shook her head and said: "When the news of Qiuzhou reaches the capital, I don't know how many officials will be sacked." Her voice is full of joy, who let these people put their ideas on her sister's head Yes, even thinking about anything but her sister.
But when we return to the capital and check the list of writers, we will be able to sort out the cocoons and find out who is behind the scenes.
Yun Xi personally checked Duoduo's physical condition again. Although Duoduo was injured, the injury was not considered serious.Even so, Yun Xi still breathed a sigh of relief after staring at her after applying Qianhe Ointment.
After Duo Duo washed up, she changed into her clothes, and in the afternoon, she accompanied Yun Xi to participate in the charity event.
In order to raise more money, Zhifu Ge invited all the people with some status in Qiuzhou, including some wealthy businessmen's wives who were not very popular on weekdays.In order to show their faces in front of Yun Xi, these businessmen were not stingy with spending more money.
To Yun Xi's surprise, Hu Jinxuan, who had just had a big ugliness in the morning, also came. She was dressed in a light blue fairy dress with wide sleeves, and she dressed herself like Chang'e who fell from the sky.
It's just...it happened that Duo Duo hit the shirt.
Duo Duo is also wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress today, and the clothes are still made of brocade and organdy, both of which are tributes in themselves.Although Hu Jinxuan's clothes were also of good material, compared with the tribute, the gap was immediately apparent.
Whether it's the texture of the fabric or the workmanship, Hu Jinxuan's has been left behind by Duoduo.In terms of appearance, Dodo itself is no worse than Hu Jinxuan, and because of practicing Xue Ning Gong, her body is more cold and delicate than ordinary people.
This caused Hu Jinxuan to be compared in front of Duo Duo, just like a fake in front of the real one.
Some people who had a bad look when they saw Hu Jinxuan's arrival couldn't help gloating at this scene.
Among them, someone asked at the beginning: "Which family is the girl next to Madam, she looks really neat."
Mrs. Ge knew Duoduo's identity, and introduced with a smile: "This is Mrs. Yun's cousin."
She also felt emotional in her heart, this Mrs. Yun heard that she was only a peasant girl, and she thought that her family would have the aura of the whole family, but who knew that her cousin was so extraordinary.
Dodo is not the timid and shy girl who just arrived at Du's house. She greets everyone in a graceful and friendly manner, but with just the right distance.Compared with Hu Jinxuan's coldness, everyone naturally thinks that she is better.
A good word comes out without money. Dodo has experienced a lot of battles, but it is not false, and she will not be carried away by these few words of praise.
After basically exchanging pleasantries, Yun Xi said slowly, "I can't bear to see those people look sallow and emaciated these days. The adults are also worrying about them every day, so I will I want to gather everyone's strength and see if I can help a little."
The people who came here were all mentally prepared and knew about this a long time ago, so each of them expressed their willingness to donate their own resources.
This one expressed willingness to donate 500 taels, that one expressed willingness to donate 1000 taels, and none of them was less than 100 taels anyway.
Yun Xi said: "I didn't bring much money when I went out this time. I can only donate 3000 taels with my cousin."
Dodo is naturally on top of her share.
Mrs. Ge couldn't get past Yunxi, so she also donated 3000 taels.On the contrary, a few wealthy businessmen's wives directly donated 1 taels.
Yun Xi saw that he gave out a lot of money, the main purpose was to show his face in front of her, and it was not good to express that he did not.She pondered for a while, and said: "I have Qianhe ointment in my store, and I will send some over to everyone when I return to the capital."
Even people in Qiuzhou know the reputation of Qianhe Ointment.Not only is it a sacred product for healing, but it can also remove scars and whiten the skin. There will be people who don't want it.It's just that Qianhe ointment is hard to buy even for people in the capital, let alone them.
Hearing that you can get Qianhe Ointment, many ladies' eyes lit up.
When one of the women heard this, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said, "I am willing to donate 2 taels of silver."
"Madam Zhang, this sum of money is not a small amount, you have to think it through carefully." Another lady couldn't help dissuading, it was obvious that she had a good relationship with this Madam Zhang.
Mrs. Ge introduced to her in a low voice, "That is Mr. Zhang Qian's wife."
Yun Xi immediately recalled that Mr. Zhang Qian was also mentioned in the ledger, which said that he had an adopted son, but it turned out that the adopted son was actually his illegitimate son.This Mrs. Zhang has only one daughter under her knees.
Yun Xi said in a joking tone: "It's not easy to make my Thousand Crane Ointment. Even if Madam donates all her dowry, I can't give too much." Planting the illusion that her Thousand Crane Ointment is easy to get.
Madam Zhang smeared a lot of makeup on her face, but she still couldn't hide her haggard look. The corner of her mouth curled up, and she said, "My daughter has been in poor health, so I wanted to disperse the money and see if I can get rid of it." Pray for her."
When the others heard this, they didn't have any doubts, and each of them felt her love for her daughter. The 2 taels of silver is probably the entire property of Mrs. Zhang, and it is not easy for her to have such determination.
Yun Xi seriously suspected that she simply knew that the so-called adopted son was the illegitimate son of the outer room.It's just that she still has some doubts in her heart, even if she knows, shouldn't she leave the money to her daughter so that she can accompany her?
It's just that it's hard to say these words in front of people.
Mrs. Ge wrote down the money donated by everyone, and Mrs. Zhang had the largest amount. As for Mrs. Hu...she was the one who donated the least among the people present, so she donated a symbolic amount of two taels of silver.Mrs. Ge wrote it with her usual expression.
Mrs. Hu said: "My father-in-law said that after the flood subsides, he will open up a few more places in his academy for ordinary people, which is considered a kind gesture."
The others couldn't help but smack their lips when they heard this.
To be honest, the school run by Hu Shanzhang costs 30 taels of silver every year for Shuxiu.Because of the school in the Hu family, people often give gifts to the Hu family, so the Hu family is really not poor, and the hairpins on Miss Hu's head cost dozens of taels of silver.However, such a family only donated ten taels of silver and said such high-sounding words. No wonder everyone always has an indescribable expression when they mention their family.It's just that if you want to send your family's children to that school, you don't want to offend Mrs. Hu, so although you despise her very much, you don't want to be too obvious.
Yun Xi is different from others, but she doesn't have to please Madam Hu, she smiled slightly, "Madam Hu is generous." There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Hu Jinxuan took out a painting, unfolded it, and said with a dusty face, "This is a painting that I spent a few days making..." Her eyes fell on Yun Xi, and she said, "Madam Yun can draw If this painting is sold, the money I get in exchange for it will be my heart."
Although Hu Jinxuan was not short of money, she didn't want to donate silver directly. That would be too vulgar. She didn't want the stench of copper to contaminate her, so she chose to take out her paintings instead.
She had a look of reluctance, as if she had let go of something she loved, "If it weren't for the extraordinary moment, I wouldn't have left my paintings outside."
Yun Xi's mouth twitched uncontrollably after hearing these pretentious words.
She looked at the painting, which was a pear blossom forest.Hu Jinxuan's paintings are not bad, but they are just good.She has met many truly talented women in the capital, such as Lu Yiran's good friend Yan Shujing, who is an out-and-out talented woman who is proficient in everything, especially painting.
It's just that they are not as proud as Hu Jinxuan.
Although the slander kept popping up in her heart, Yun Xi already had an impeccable smile on her face, "That's really thanks to Ms. Hu for her kindness."
Mrs. Hu said: "It's a pity that this painting is sold in Qiuzhou. It would be better if Madam brought it to the capital. I think there are more people who come to know the goods there, and they can sell more money. It's not an insult to this painting." Painting, let it have a good home."
Yun Xi was almost amused by this pair of mother and daughter who were extremely confident. Were they invited by the monkey to be funny?If this painting is released in the capital, the 100 taels of silver will all be on Hu Jinxuan's face.If it is sold in Qiuzhou, it might be sold at a good price. After all, there are still some teenagers who like "fairies".
Yun Xi said: "When I send it to the capital, it will be at least June. It will take too long to sell the painting and send it back to Qiuzhou." What to do?
"What Mrs. Yun said is that by then, the day lily will be cold."
"It's better to sell this painting as soon as possible."
Hu Jinxuan frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she still said: "Then please leave to Mrs. Hu. I should go back too."
Then turn around and leave here directly.
Mrs. Hu sighed, and said: "My daughter is like this. I have told her many times that she just doesn't like to get involved in these mundane things. I can only work hard."
She complained in her mouth, and her tone was clearly proud.People like her Jinxuan, this is the style of a scholarly family.It's not like Mrs. Yun who came from the capital, she kept her mouth full of money at the beginning, and she was a layman.Such a person has such a noble status, God is really unfair.
Thinking of her daughter's appearance and temperament, Madam Hu immediately calmed down again.An ordinary person like Mrs. Xiangyun can have such a good marriage, and her family Jinxuan will be even more amazing in the future.
The corner of her lips couldn't help evoking a smug smile, but she didn't realize that many people had unconsciously moved away from her.
Yun Xi asked people to put the painting away, she didn't even bother to take this matter on her body, and directly asked Mrs. Ge to sell the painting.
Although there were such annoying existences as the Hu family's mother and daughter in the process, overall, this charity event also successfully achieved its original purpose, and the collected silver was almost 15 taels.
When everyone counted, they were really taken aback.At first, I thought it would be too much to have 8 to [-] taels of silver.
It is impossible for Yun Xi to stay in Qiuzhou for a long time, and she will leave in two days, so how to spend the money, she directly handed it over to Mrs. Ge, and then selected Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Li and others. supervision.Among them, Mrs. Li's family is in the business of grain and rice, and she donated a lot of money this time, a total of 5000 taels.She didn't expect that she would be promoted as well, and she couldn't help but feel a pleasant surprise.Being chosen by Yun Xi was an affirmation of her.
Soon, the others left, but Zhang Qianzong's wife, Zhang Wenshi, stayed behind, apparently having something to say to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi thought about it, and finally fulfilled her wish and dismissed the others.
After everyone else left the room, Zhang Wenshi knelt down directly, "I beg my wife to save my daughter's life."
Yun Xi looked at you suspiciously, "What's wrong with your daughter?" Zhang Wen's daughter, as the eldest daughter of the Sixth Rank Chief Qian, has a low status in Qiuzhou.
She helped Zhang Wenshi up, and Zhang Wenshi sat on the chair, tears rolled out, "I know I shouldn't trouble Madam, but I really have no other way. I can't let that person harm my daughter." For the rest of my life." When she talked about that person, there was a little bit of hatred in her voice.
"My husband, he actually planned to marry my family Shuangyun to He Tao."
He Tao... Yun Xi always felt that this name sounded familiar.
Zhang Wenshi gritted his teeth and said: "He can hide it from other people, but he can't hide it from me. He Tao is obviously his son born to his wife. He didn't want to leave his family property to Shuangyun as a dowry, so he pretended to let his illegitimate son The idea of marrying Shuangyun."
Yun Xi was also well-informed, and she was really shocked when she heard this.This Dayuan is too unscrupulous, right?For the sake of his son, he actually planned to sacrifice his daughter's lifelong happiness.
Zhang Wenshi's tears fell faster, "I shouldn't say this kind of family scandal, but I really have no other way. If Shuangyun is really married to He Tao by him, Zhang Dayuan and He Tao will definitely not let her give birth to a child, but chooses to take a concubine to continue the bloodline."
She directly called Mr. Zhang Qian by his real name, which showed that she hated him to the extreme.
But Yun Xi could understand her feelings. As a mother, knowing that her daughter was being used by her husband in this way, it's no wonder she didn't hate her husband.Not to mention that Mr. Zhang Qian's idea is so nasty and disgusting that he sacrificed his own daughter's happiness in order to let his illegitimate son call him father and inherit everything from him.
"Why did you come to me?"
Zhang Wenshi said: "Madam, you gave Qianhe ointment to everyone, which shows that you are not the kind who is willing to take advantage of others. You have come forward to organize such activities for the sake of those ordinary people, which shows that you have a good heart." She was just taking a gamble Forget it, her husband has spoken good things about He Tao in front of her all day these days, and inside and out, he will give all his family property to his daughter as a dowry.After her daughter married He Tao, she could also live by their side.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenshi felt cold all over.
Yun Xi felt that the mother and daughter were indeed very pitiful. As a mother, she could understand Zhang Wenshi's feelings very well.
"How do you plan on me helping you?"
Zhang Wenshi hesitated for a while, and said: "I hope you can bring Shuangyun to the capital, and when the time comes, please ask the masters in the capital to refuse this marriage on the grounds that the characters do not match. I will also let the masters in the capital My natal family will help Shuang Yunxiang see a suitable marriage."
"If Shuangyun is allowed to stay in Qiuzhou, what kind of indecent means will they use to make Shuangyun submit to him if they don't keep everything together?"
Zhang Wenshi can only pretend not to know now, pretending to be a snake with the disgusting father and son, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry after the other party finds out the clue.
Yun Xi thought about it, this is not a difficult task for her.It was just to bring Zhang Shuangyun to the capital, and as for buying the master...it couldn't be easier. The abbot of Ci'an Temple has a very good relationship with her.And this is tantamount to saving someone's life, and Master Chiming is also willing to come to think of it.
She said, "I'll let the wind out later that I like your girl very much."
Zhang Wenshi knows the elegance after listening to the stringed songs, "Shuangyun is a frizzy child, if she can learn one or two good things from you by your side, madam, it will be her good fortune."
I'm afraid that after this news gets out, I don't know how many people will envy her family Shuangyun.
Thinking of her daughter being able to escape from the tiger's den, Zhang Wenshi felt her whole body relax and slumped on a chair.
……
On the other hand, after Hu Jinxuan left Ge's house, her eyebrows never loosened.
Hu Jinxuan is not a fool, she can't see the disapproval and slight contempt that everyone treats her.
There was a sneering smile on the corner of her mouth—but it was just jealousy, jealous of her talent and appearance.She originally thought that Mrs. Yun, who was canonized as a princess and became the wife of the prince, could still be famous in Chu, she should be a good person, and she would have a common topic with her, but who knew that she was just a layman.
So what if both she and her cousin are better than her in appearance?
Her beauty and bones are all false, her soul and inner being are infinitely more beautiful than those two.
She told herself this repeatedly, and the breath that was stuck in her chest slowly dissipated.That's right, why should she care about people like them?
Hu Jinxuan's maid saw that her lady's expression had eased a lot, so she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, where are we going?"
Hu Jinxuan came back to her senses, only to realize that she was walking on the street.Due to the spread of the flood, the current Qiuzhou is not as lively and bustling as it used to be. The streets are quite bleak, and what makes her unbearable is the smell of decay.
"The smell here is really bad." There was a touch of disgust in her voice.
She turned around and was about to go home when, out of the corner of her eye, she happened to catch a glimpse of Prefect Ge, who was talking to Yun Shen respectfully.
Yun Shen wore a light blue shirt, looking elegant and elegant, whether it was appearance or demeanor, it was a beauty that could not be described with a brush.
Hu Jinxuan bit her lower lip unwillingly - all the men in Qiuzhou combined could not match this man's one finger.Such an outstanding person should be matched by the best woman.
How could an ordinary person like Du Yunxi be worthy of this person?
She took a deep breath and led the maid to pass them by.The wind blew gently, and her handkerchief was accidentally blown by the wind, and fell in front of Ge Zhifu and others.
Normally, Hu Jinxuan would dislike the dust on the handkerchief that fell on the ground and throw it away.But at this moment, she said in a strange way, "Can you pick out a handkerchief for me?"
(End of this chapter)
If in normal times, a girl as beautiful as a fairy encountered such a thing, everyone would definitely feel deep sympathy.It's just who made Hu Jinxuan say such hateful words just now.These ordinary people all hope that the flood will subside soon, so that they can return to their original piece of pure land.
It was good for Hu Jinxuan, but she felt sorry for the insignificant pear blossom forest.If it was normal, everyone would praise her for being elegant.At this time, it was because of her parents that she didn't call directly.
Hu Jinxuan's father is Qiuzhou Xuezheng. Although he is only from the seventh rank, he is in charge of teaching and is extremely noble.In addition, her grandfather was also the head of the largest school in Qiuzhou.For the sake of these two, the people in Qiuzhou treated Hu Jinxuan quite politely.It's just that she has angered everyone today, so seeing this person who has been acting like a fairy all day has become so embarrassed, everyone gloated.
Yun Xi originally just wanted to teach this ungrateful person a lesson, otherwise she wouldn't have hooked Hu Jinxuan with vines to prevent her from falling into the water.
She said lightly: "Miss Hu is still young after all, she can't stand things."
Mrs. Ge had a pitiful face, "It's really pitiful. After being frightened like this, it's better to send her back quickly." But her heart was already full of laughter.Let her be mean!
Hu Jinxuan's mother has always been proud of her daughter who is as beautiful as orchid and more talented than a fairy. Today, her daughter lost such a big ugliness, and she felt a little embarrassed. She reluctantly said: "The road over there is too uneven. , send Xuan'er home quickly."
Hu Jinxuan was rushed into the carriage by the maid in this way.As a result, just as the carriage was about to drive back, one of the front wheels fell off.
Well, there is no way to get off the carriage now.
In fact, Hu Jinxuan can choose to borrow someone else's car. Even if the people present don't like her, they will choose to lend her the carriage because of face.It's just that she has no face to appear in front of people because of being drowned in the water before, and she is so ashamed and angry that she wants to commit suicide, so why would she run out to borrow a car.If she didn't mention it, others would naturally take it as nothing.
In the end, Hu Jinxuan had no choice but to get off the carriage, covered her proud face with a veiled hat, and hurried away, her back full of the smell of running away.
Yun Xi withdrew her gaze and looked downstream from a distance.
Another explosion sounded, bringing up monstrous waves.
Apparently, Zhifu Ge and the others felt that one bomb was not enough, so they blew up a few more.
Looking at her feet, Yun Xi could see that the flood water was beginning to recede.Not only did the bomb explode, but the mud that sank at the bottom of the river seemed to have dispersed a little because of it.The golden sun shone warmly on everyone, and shone into people's hearts all the time.
There were cries one after another, but compared to the helplessness and panic before, this cry was full of joy and sadness.
After all, this flood lasted a little too long.
Yun Xi sighed, every time a natural disaster strikes, the people at the bottom suffer the most.She suddenly lost interest, and said to Mrs. Ge: "Let's go back." She paused, and said: "It's time to prepare for the banquet in the afternoon."
A few days ago, they set the time for this afternoon to prepare the money.Yun Xi only brought 5000 taels of silver with her when she went out this trip, and she planned to donate 3000 taels of silver at that time.
Mrs. Ge has always put her first, seeing the faint tiredness between her brows and eyes, she nodded and said yes, "I just happen to be a little tired too."
The two got into the carriage and went home together.Yun Xi took one last look at the Qiuhe River, and a thought suddenly came to her mind: Maybe I can imitate my previous life and temporarily pile sandbags on the river bank.The embankments originally built by Qiuzhou's generation were basically washed away by the previous flood.
After Yun Xi left, several other people who saw Yun Xi for the first time couldn't help but said to the people around them: "This is Mrs. Yun from the capital? I heard you said how beautiful she is and how temperamental she is. I don't believe it. Today I saw myself, as expected of a nobleman from the capital, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to imagine such a grandeur."
"Yeah, it's not like some people, but they are born more neatly than others, so they think highly of themselves and don't put others in their eyes, but they don't know that they are just a frog at the bottom of a well, not even a finger of Mrs. Yun."
"Yes, Mrs. Yun has a noble status and a very beautiful appearance, but she is very amiable. Earlier, she took my daughter and talked a lot, praising her for being lively."
Madam Hu's face darkened, and she could no longer maintain her original dignified expression. She didn't know that these people had a long-standing grudge against her daughter, and they were taking the opportunity of Miss Carrying Cloud to step on her daughter.
It's no wonder that these wives don't like Hu Jinxuan, whoever made everyone present was more or less told by her that they were ordinary people.
……
Before the charity meeting in the afternoon, Dodo also came back from the outside, but Ming Zuoting followed her.
Yun Xi was naturally very happy to see her returning sister, but when she looked at Ming Zuoting, who looked like a breeze and a bright moon, she couldn't help frowning, "Why are you here?"
Ming Zuoting smiled gently, his face was still very confusing, "At least I also saved Madam's sister twice, why is Madam so aggressive?"
twice?
Apart from the poisonous lady, is there another time?
Yun Xi's suspicious eyes could not help falling on Duo Duo. After such a reminder, she also smelled the faint smell of medicine on Duo Duo's body. She asked worriedly: "Are you injured?" There will be times of injury.
Dodo bit her lower lip, and stared fiercely at Ming Zuoting, but Ming Zuoting's smiling face made her teeth itch with hatred even more.In front of Yun Xi, Duo Duo couldn't help but weaken her voice, "Cousin, it's just a small injury, nothing serious. I got hurt because of my negligence."
Ming Zuoting continued to tear down the stage, "It's indeed a minor injury, almost piercing your heart."
"Ming, Zuo, Ting." No matter how good-tempered Duo Duo was, she couldn't help but get angry, her eyes sparkled with anger.
"Small, hurt?" Yun Xi asked word by word.
Hearing this voice, Dodo knew that her cousin was really angry, and the original anger was immediately quenched by a pot of cold water.
"It seems that your experiences in the past few days are also very colorful." Yun Xi's voice was filled with irrepressible anger, some towards Duo Duo, and some towards herself.I knew that she should have gone with Dodo in the first place, and shouldn't have too much confidence in her skills, so I let her go with confidence.
She turned her head to Ming Zuoting and said, "Although you are still annoying, I still want to thank you this time."
Ming Zuoting looked calm, "You don't need to thank me, I have also received a gift."
It's just that he didn't say what the specific thank you gift is.
Yun Xi focused on Duoduo again, and said, "Shouldn't you tell me about what happened along the way?"
Dodo pursed her lips, but said it anyway.
Speaking of which, Duo Duo was not careless on the way, in addition to covering her beautiful appearance with some dust, she also specially changed her clothes into inconspicuous coarse cloth clothes, so as not to attract people's eyes and attract the attention of thieves.Although she can beat them, but with the children and Mrs. Zhao mother and son, it is better to be peaceful.
Although she also encountered many refugees, she still arrived in Fenghuang County smoothly.Fenghuang County is the territory of Wanshiwu. Thanks to San and the others, Dodo doesn't have to worry about their safety at all. After resting in Fenghuang County for half a day, she is ready to set off.
But on the way back, he was assassinated.All the people who assassinated her were excellent in martial arts, and there were at least 20 of them. The menacing posture of beheading them all under the sword made them dangerous.
In addition, a member of the White Clothes Sect was almost killed at that time, and Dodo was injured in order to save her.If it wasn't for Ming Zuoting leading people to arrive in time, she would have died half-life.
Until now, Dodo still doesn't understand what kind of hatred she has provoked, and the other party insists on killing her.
Later, they also encountered several assassinations one after another, but because Ming Zuoting and his subordinates were there, they all successfully repelled each other.Later, Dodo dressed up everyone in disguise, and then arrived in Qiuzhou smoothly.Although her makeup level is not as superb as Yun Xi's, it still has some of her essence.
In front of her cousin, she couldn't help asking out her doubts.Dodo thinks that she has always been kind to others, logically speaking, no one should hate her so much.
Listening to her thrilling experience along the way, Yun Xi also felt a surge of anger in her heart.If it was to assassinate her, it would be understandable. She had offended countless people, and a few princes had a bad relationship with Yun Shen.But Dodo's words are really unreasonable.Dodo's external identity is her cousin, and she has never offended anyone.
unless……
She suddenly remembered that Dodo has another level of identity, she is the saint and leader of the White Clothes Sect.
Duoduo was assassinated... Ning Fei pretended to be the saint of the White Clothes Sect... If these two things happened at the same time, it would be tricky no matter how you look at it.
Yun Xi had a flash of inspiration and directly connected these two things together.The other party wouldn't want to kill Duo Duo, the true leader of the White Clothes Sect, so that Ning Fei could increase her reputation, and finally threaten the White Clothes Sect, and then take over, right?
If so, it makes sense.It's just that the other party probably didn't expect that Ning Fei's identity would be directly exposed by Yun Xi, and all her actions were exposed, and in the end the bamboo basket was all for nothing.
Yun Xi told about Ning Fei, Duo Duo was stunned, "Really? No wonder the other party kept their hands back at first. I guess they wanted to spare my life at first."
It's just seeing that Dodo and the others have high martial arts skills, and if they show mercy, they will suffer instead, so the attack became more ruthless.
After hearing Yun Xi's deduction, Ming Zuoting nodded and said, "Speaking of which, some time ago, someone in Jianghu spent a lot of money to buy the secret recipe of the human skin mask."
Ming Zuoting is not a random person, he suddenly brought up this matter, apparently thinking that it has something to do with Dodo.
Yun Xi didn't feel creepy, if the other party's original plan was to peel off Duo Duo's face and make it into a human skin mask, he could have directly replaced Duo Duo's identity and became the leader of the White Clothes Sect.
But the other party obviously thought too simply. As her cousin, whether Dodo has been replaced, wouldn't she know?
Dodo held her hand and said, "Sister, I'm fine."
Yun Xi snorted, it's all right.
Seeing that the two sisters obviously had something to say, Ming Zuoting smiled and left the room quickly.
After he left, Yun Xi couldn't help asking the question that had been circling in her heart for a long time, "How did he come here? How did he just meet you and save your life?"
If Yun Shen hadn't told her before that Ming Zuoting could barely trust her, Yun Xi would have suspected him long ago.
Duoduo said: "He helped me only because of Xue Ning Gong." When she talked about this, her face was calm.She didn't think that Ming Zuoting would help her for no reason, but after knowing the other party's purpose, she felt very at ease.
Yun Xi said: "You won't really give it to him, will you? What does he want this Xue Ninggong for?"
Xue Ninggong is the martial arts of the Baiyi Sect, and ordinary members can only practice the most obvious ones.Originally, everyone could practice this martial art, but later the White Clothes Sect had a few traitors, who almost leaked the martial arts, after that, Honggu became stricter.
Only the elders, leader and protectors can get in touch with the complete Xue Ning Gong.
Duoduo said: "He only said that there was a mistake in his cultivation method, and he needed to use Xue Ning Gong to achieve balance in his body." Duoduo pursed her lips and said, "Of course I can't make Xue Ning The gong was leaked out, but he was only given the most peripheral and crude mentality, and it can be regarded as thanks for the two life-saving graces."
If Ming Zuoting is willing to use some small tricks, he can still get the outermost mental method.This is also the reason why Dodo agreed easily.
"Only this one?"
Dodo paused for a moment, and said: "I also promised him that I will often compete with him in the future." Ming Zuoting said that it was helpful for him to have frequent access to the top level of Xue Ninggong.
Yun Xi thought about it for a while, and felt that this was not a big deal, so she let it go.With her watching on the left and right, no matter what happens, Dodo will not really suffer.
Dodo continued: "I asked him why he came to Qiuzhou. The reason why he came was also because Ning Fei and the others, with their reputation as teachers in white clothes, made a huge noise and already alarmed the capital."
The corner of Duoduo's mouth curled up in a sarcasm, "Some officials in the capital even said that they should be canonized for their contributions during this period of time."
Now Yun Xi can be sure that there is really a force in the capital who wants to control the White Clothes Sect and use the White Clothes Sect.Who made Bai Yijiao become famous because of Honggu and the pedal spinning wheel.The textile factories built by Baiyijiao have also entered the eyes of the world, and have been well received for their good treatment.
She shook her head and said: "When the news of Qiuzhou reaches the capital, I don't know how many officials will be sacked." Her voice is full of joy, who let these people put their ideas on her sister's head Yes, even thinking about anything but her sister.
But when we return to the capital and check the list of writers, we will be able to sort out the cocoons and find out who is behind the scenes.
Yun Xi personally checked Duoduo's physical condition again. Although Duoduo was injured, the injury was not considered serious.Even so, Yun Xi still breathed a sigh of relief after staring at her after applying Qianhe Ointment.
After Duo Duo washed up, she changed into her clothes, and in the afternoon, she accompanied Yun Xi to participate in the charity event.
In order to raise more money, Zhifu Ge invited all the people with some status in Qiuzhou, including some wealthy businessmen's wives who were not very popular on weekdays.In order to show their faces in front of Yun Xi, these businessmen were not stingy with spending more money.
To Yun Xi's surprise, Hu Jinxuan, who had just had a big ugliness in the morning, also came. She was dressed in a light blue fairy dress with wide sleeves, and she dressed herself like Chang'e who fell from the sky.
It's just...it happened that Duo Duo hit the shirt.
Duo Duo is also wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress today, and the clothes are still made of brocade and organdy, both of which are tributes in themselves.Although Hu Jinxuan's clothes were also of good material, compared with the tribute, the gap was immediately apparent.
Whether it's the texture of the fabric or the workmanship, Hu Jinxuan's has been left behind by Duoduo.In terms of appearance, Dodo itself is no worse than Hu Jinxuan, and because of practicing Xue Ning Gong, her body is more cold and delicate than ordinary people.
This caused Hu Jinxuan to be compared in front of Duo Duo, just like a fake in front of the real one.
Some people who had a bad look when they saw Hu Jinxuan's arrival couldn't help gloating at this scene.
Among them, someone asked at the beginning: "Which family is the girl next to Madam, she looks really neat."
Mrs. Ge knew Duoduo's identity, and introduced with a smile: "This is Mrs. Yun's cousin."
She also felt emotional in her heart, this Mrs. Yun heard that she was only a peasant girl, and she thought that her family would have the aura of the whole family, but who knew that her cousin was so extraordinary.
Dodo is not the timid and shy girl who just arrived at Du's house. She greets everyone in a graceful and friendly manner, but with just the right distance.Compared with Hu Jinxuan's coldness, everyone naturally thinks that she is better.
A good word comes out without money. Dodo has experienced a lot of battles, but it is not false, and she will not be carried away by these few words of praise.
After basically exchanging pleasantries, Yun Xi said slowly, "I can't bear to see those people look sallow and emaciated these days. The adults are also worrying about them every day, so I will I want to gather everyone's strength and see if I can help a little."
The people who came here were all mentally prepared and knew about this a long time ago, so each of them expressed their willingness to donate their own resources.
This one expressed willingness to donate 500 taels, that one expressed willingness to donate 1000 taels, and none of them was less than 100 taels anyway.
Yun Xi said: "I didn't bring much money when I went out this time. I can only donate 3000 taels with my cousin."
Dodo is naturally on top of her share.
Mrs. Ge couldn't get past Yunxi, so she also donated 3000 taels.On the contrary, a few wealthy businessmen's wives directly donated 1 taels.
Yun Xi saw that he gave out a lot of money, the main purpose was to show his face in front of her, and it was not good to express that he did not.She pondered for a while, and said: "I have Qianhe ointment in my store, and I will send some over to everyone when I return to the capital."
Even people in Qiuzhou know the reputation of Qianhe Ointment.Not only is it a sacred product for healing, but it can also remove scars and whiten the skin. There will be people who don't want it.It's just that Qianhe ointment is hard to buy even for people in the capital, let alone them.
Hearing that you can get Qianhe Ointment, many ladies' eyes lit up.
When one of the women heard this, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said, "I am willing to donate 2 taels of silver."
"Madam Zhang, this sum of money is not a small amount, you have to think it through carefully." Another lady couldn't help dissuading, it was obvious that she had a good relationship with this Madam Zhang.
Mrs. Ge introduced to her in a low voice, "That is Mr. Zhang Qian's wife."
Yun Xi immediately recalled that Mr. Zhang Qian was also mentioned in the ledger, which said that he had an adopted son, but it turned out that the adopted son was actually his illegitimate son.This Mrs. Zhang has only one daughter under her knees.
Yun Xi said in a joking tone: "It's not easy to make my Thousand Crane Ointment. Even if Madam donates all her dowry, I can't give too much." Planting the illusion that her Thousand Crane Ointment is easy to get.
Madam Zhang smeared a lot of makeup on her face, but she still couldn't hide her haggard look. The corner of her mouth curled up, and she said, "My daughter has been in poor health, so I wanted to disperse the money and see if I can get rid of it." Pray for her."
When the others heard this, they didn't have any doubts, and each of them felt her love for her daughter. The 2 taels of silver is probably the entire property of Mrs. Zhang, and it is not easy for her to have such determination.
Yun Xi seriously suspected that she simply knew that the so-called adopted son was the illegitimate son of the outer room.It's just that she still has some doubts in her heart, even if she knows, shouldn't she leave the money to her daughter so that she can accompany her?
It's just that it's hard to say these words in front of people.
Mrs. Ge wrote down the money donated by everyone, and Mrs. Zhang had the largest amount. As for Mrs. Hu...she was the one who donated the least among the people present, so she donated a symbolic amount of two taels of silver.Mrs. Ge wrote it with her usual expression.
Mrs. Hu said: "My father-in-law said that after the flood subsides, he will open up a few more places in his academy for ordinary people, which is considered a kind gesture."
The others couldn't help but smack their lips when they heard this.
To be honest, the school run by Hu Shanzhang costs 30 taels of silver every year for Shuxiu.Because of the school in the Hu family, people often give gifts to the Hu family, so the Hu family is really not poor, and the hairpins on Miss Hu's head cost dozens of taels of silver.However, such a family only donated ten taels of silver and said such high-sounding words. No wonder everyone always has an indescribable expression when they mention their family.It's just that if you want to send your family's children to that school, you don't want to offend Mrs. Hu, so although you despise her very much, you don't want to be too obvious.
Yun Xi is different from others, but she doesn't have to please Madam Hu, she smiled slightly, "Madam Hu is generous." There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Hu Jinxuan took out a painting, unfolded it, and said with a dusty face, "This is a painting that I spent a few days making..." Her eyes fell on Yun Xi, and she said, "Madam Yun can draw If this painting is sold, the money I get in exchange for it will be my heart."
Although Hu Jinxuan was not short of money, she didn't want to donate silver directly. That would be too vulgar. She didn't want the stench of copper to contaminate her, so she chose to take out her paintings instead.
She had a look of reluctance, as if she had let go of something she loved, "If it weren't for the extraordinary moment, I wouldn't have left my paintings outside."
Yun Xi's mouth twitched uncontrollably after hearing these pretentious words.
She looked at the painting, which was a pear blossom forest.Hu Jinxuan's paintings are not bad, but they are just good.She has met many truly talented women in the capital, such as Lu Yiran's good friend Yan Shujing, who is an out-and-out talented woman who is proficient in everything, especially painting.
It's just that they are not as proud as Hu Jinxuan.
Although the slander kept popping up in her heart, Yun Xi already had an impeccable smile on her face, "That's really thanks to Ms. Hu for her kindness."
Mrs. Hu said: "It's a pity that this painting is sold in Qiuzhou. It would be better if Madam brought it to the capital. I think there are more people who come to know the goods there, and they can sell more money. It's not an insult to this painting." Painting, let it have a good home."
Yun Xi was almost amused by this pair of mother and daughter who were extremely confident. Were they invited by the monkey to be funny?If this painting is released in the capital, the 100 taels of silver will all be on Hu Jinxuan's face.If it is sold in Qiuzhou, it might be sold at a good price. After all, there are still some teenagers who like "fairies".
Yun Xi said: "When I send it to the capital, it will be at least June. It will take too long to sell the painting and send it back to Qiuzhou." What to do?
"What Mrs. Yun said is that by then, the day lily will be cold."
"It's better to sell this painting as soon as possible."
Hu Jinxuan frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she still said: "Then please leave to Mrs. Hu. I should go back too."
Then turn around and leave here directly.
Mrs. Hu sighed, and said: "My daughter is like this. I have told her many times that she just doesn't like to get involved in these mundane things. I can only work hard."
She complained in her mouth, and her tone was clearly proud.People like her Jinxuan, this is the style of a scholarly family.It's not like Mrs. Yun who came from the capital, she kept her mouth full of money at the beginning, and she was a layman.Such a person has such a noble status, God is really unfair.
Thinking of her daughter's appearance and temperament, Madam Hu immediately calmed down again.An ordinary person like Mrs. Xiangyun can have such a good marriage, and her family Jinxuan will be even more amazing in the future.
The corner of her lips couldn't help evoking a smug smile, but she didn't realize that many people had unconsciously moved away from her.
Yun Xi asked people to put the painting away, she didn't even bother to take this matter on her body, and directly asked Mrs. Ge to sell the painting.
Although there were such annoying existences as the Hu family's mother and daughter in the process, overall, this charity event also successfully achieved its original purpose, and the collected silver was almost 15 taels.
When everyone counted, they were really taken aback.At first, I thought it would be too much to have 8 to [-] taels of silver.
It is impossible for Yun Xi to stay in Qiuzhou for a long time, and she will leave in two days, so how to spend the money, she directly handed it over to Mrs. Ge, and then selected Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Li and others. supervision.Among them, Mrs. Li's family is in the business of grain and rice, and she donated a lot of money this time, a total of 5000 taels.She didn't expect that she would be promoted as well, and she couldn't help but feel a pleasant surprise.Being chosen by Yun Xi was an affirmation of her.
Soon, the others left, but Zhang Qianzong's wife, Zhang Wenshi, stayed behind, apparently having something to say to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi thought about it, and finally fulfilled her wish and dismissed the others.
After everyone else left the room, Zhang Wenshi knelt down directly, "I beg my wife to save my daughter's life."
Yun Xi looked at you suspiciously, "What's wrong with your daughter?" Zhang Wen's daughter, as the eldest daughter of the Sixth Rank Chief Qian, has a low status in Qiuzhou.
She helped Zhang Wenshi up, and Zhang Wenshi sat on the chair, tears rolled out, "I know I shouldn't trouble Madam, but I really have no other way. I can't let that person harm my daughter." For the rest of my life." When she talked about that person, there was a little bit of hatred in her voice.
"My husband, he actually planned to marry my family Shuangyun to He Tao."
He Tao... Yun Xi always felt that this name sounded familiar.
Zhang Wenshi gritted his teeth and said: "He can hide it from other people, but he can't hide it from me. He Tao is obviously his son born to his wife. He didn't want to leave his family property to Shuangyun as a dowry, so he pretended to let his illegitimate son The idea of marrying Shuangyun."
Yun Xi was also well-informed, and she was really shocked when she heard this.This Dayuan is too unscrupulous, right?For the sake of his son, he actually planned to sacrifice his daughter's lifelong happiness.
Zhang Wenshi's tears fell faster, "I shouldn't say this kind of family scandal, but I really have no other way. If Shuangyun is really married to He Tao by him, Zhang Dayuan and He Tao will definitely not let her give birth to a child, but chooses to take a concubine to continue the bloodline."
She directly called Mr. Zhang Qian by his real name, which showed that she hated him to the extreme.
But Yun Xi could understand her feelings. As a mother, knowing that her daughter was being used by her husband in this way, it's no wonder she didn't hate her husband.Not to mention that Mr. Zhang Qian's idea is so nasty and disgusting that he sacrificed his own daughter's happiness in order to let his illegitimate son call him father and inherit everything from him.
"Why did you come to me?"
Zhang Wenshi said: "Madam, you gave Qianhe ointment to everyone, which shows that you are not the kind who is willing to take advantage of others. You have come forward to organize such activities for the sake of those ordinary people, which shows that you have a good heart." She was just taking a gamble Forget it, her husband has spoken good things about He Tao in front of her all day these days, and inside and out, he will give all his family property to his daughter as a dowry.After her daughter married He Tao, she could also live by their side.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenshi felt cold all over.
Yun Xi felt that the mother and daughter were indeed very pitiful. As a mother, she could understand Zhang Wenshi's feelings very well.
"How do you plan on me helping you?"
Zhang Wenshi hesitated for a while, and said: "I hope you can bring Shuangyun to the capital, and when the time comes, please ask the masters in the capital to refuse this marriage on the grounds that the characters do not match. I will also let the masters in the capital My natal family will help Shuang Yunxiang see a suitable marriage."
"If Shuangyun is allowed to stay in Qiuzhou, what kind of indecent means will they use to make Shuangyun submit to him if they don't keep everything together?"
Zhang Wenshi can only pretend not to know now, pretending to be a snake with the disgusting father and son, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry after the other party finds out the clue.
Yun Xi thought about it, this is not a difficult task for her.It was just to bring Zhang Shuangyun to the capital, and as for buying the master...it couldn't be easier. The abbot of Ci'an Temple has a very good relationship with her.And this is tantamount to saving someone's life, and Master Chiming is also willing to come to think of it.
She said, "I'll let the wind out later that I like your girl very much."
Zhang Wenshi knows the elegance after listening to the stringed songs, "Shuangyun is a frizzy child, if she can learn one or two good things from you by your side, madam, it will be her good fortune."
I'm afraid that after this news gets out, I don't know how many people will envy her family Shuangyun.
Thinking of her daughter being able to escape from the tiger's den, Zhang Wenshi felt her whole body relax and slumped on a chair.
……
On the other hand, after Hu Jinxuan left Ge's house, her eyebrows never loosened.
Hu Jinxuan is not a fool, she can't see the disapproval and slight contempt that everyone treats her.
There was a sneering smile on the corner of her mouth—but it was just jealousy, jealous of her talent and appearance.She originally thought that Mrs. Yun, who was canonized as a princess and became the wife of the prince, could still be famous in Chu, she should be a good person, and she would have a common topic with her, but who knew that she was just a layman.
So what if both she and her cousin are better than her in appearance?
Her beauty and bones are all false, her soul and inner being are infinitely more beautiful than those two.
She told herself this repeatedly, and the breath that was stuck in her chest slowly dissipated.That's right, why should she care about people like them?
Hu Jinxuan's maid saw that her lady's expression had eased a lot, so she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, where are we going?"
Hu Jinxuan came back to her senses, only to realize that she was walking on the street.Due to the spread of the flood, the current Qiuzhou is not as lively and bustling as it used to be. The streets are quite bleak, and what makes her unbearable is the smell of decay.
"The smell here is really bad." There was a touch of disgust in her voice.
She turned around and was about to go home when, out of the corner of her eye, she happened to catch a glimpse of Prefect Ge, who was talking to Yun Shen respectfully.
Yun Shen wore a light blue shirt, looking elegant and elegant, whether it was appearance or demeanor, it was a beauty that could not be described with a brush.
Hu Jinxuan bit her lower lip unwillingly - all the men in Qiuzhou combined could not match this man's one finger.Such an outstanding person should be matched by the best woman.
How could an ordinary person like Du Yunxi be worthy of this person?
She took a deep breath and led the maid to pass them by.The wind blew gently, and her handkerchief was accidentally blown by the wind, and fell in front of Ge Zhifu and others.
Normally, Hu Jinxuan would dislike the dust on the handkerchief that fell on the ground and throw it away.But at this moment, she said in a strange way, "Can you pick out a handkerchief for me?"
